Clueless lovers chapter 2
Chapter 2: childhood friend
He woke up wishing to find enchanting black eyes staring at him, reaching into his soul and reading his heart’s and mind’s thoughts, but instead, his blue eye meet golden one upon waking up.
‘‘Mitsuki?’‘
‘‘Intersting dream?’‘ his best friend asked, reaching for a flask of water from beside him and handing it to Boruto.
‘‘Thanks.’‘ he whispered before reaching for the flask and wincing at the pain on his side.
‘‘You better rest for a couple more hours before we head back.’‘
‘‘Yeah.’‘
Boruto winced again as leaned back, he could already hear her scolding him about being too reckless.
‘Boruto-baka! you’re going to kill yourself one of these days because of pure idiocy.’’
‘’Like you’re one to talk about recklessness !’’ is what he’ll normally answer her.
He never comprehended why she cared too much for him, sure he was her teammate, but she didn’t worry that much about Mitsuki, but that can be explained by saying that Mitsuki can take care of himself much better than Boruto.
But now, he understood why he also noticed that he too worries about her way too much and that that was a cause of a lot of their fights.
And if the reason she worries so much about him as he about her is the same, then Boruto will stop saying that something is impossible.
He still remembers all the times he would deny liking Sarada, saying it was impossible that he would like ‘ a bossy, stubborn know it all’, but in the end, it seems he doesn’t just like her, he loves her.
He never recognized the feeling until a few days ago, he never realized before that that it wasn’t because of the heat his cheeks would heat up when she’d get too close, or that his heart beating fast isn’t because of their last training session.
Boruto smirked, remembering that he’s wasn’t the only one flustered during a lot of those moments, recalling his black-haired teammate fidgeting and ears getting red, looking up at him behind her red glasses...
When did she become so beautiful? he thought, now that he thinks about it, when did his childhood friend turn into his-
‘‘You think she’s okay? she’s been really stressed out lately because of the upcoming jonin exams.’‘
Boruto jerked his head back, ‘‘ how did you-”
‘‘With a smile like that on your face, there’s not many people you might be thinking off.’‘
Boruto just glared at him before talking, refusing to believe that it was that apparent that he was head over heels for their female teammate.
‘‘She’s going to be fine, she’s the strongest chunin in the village.’‘
‘‘Stronger than you?’‘
‘‘I don’t know, I think she could beat me.’‘
it was apparent to Boruto that he and Sarada never went all out on each other before, he never faced the true power of her lightning release, and she never faced his elemental rasengan’s at their full power, that and a bunch of other stuff too.
‘‘‘I think she would beat you to a pulp.’‘
‘‘Thanks Mitsuki, you really are an encouraging friend.’‘ he said sarcastically.
‘‘...’‘
‘‘What?’‘ Boruto asked, annoyed that the white-haired boy is still staring at him.
‘‘You going to tell me what happened between the two of you in the cave?’‘
‘‘Something that you interrupted, dattebaseh!’‘
He could still feel it, the heat of her lips on his, moving in sync with each other as her arms grabbed at his shirt and his hand traveled to her waist, pulling her closer.
Only for all that to be ripped away from him when they heard Mitsuki coming, as they jumped away from each other.
But Mitsuki saw the redness of their faces, and the awkward mood when they’s be with him in the same room, or that they were practically tearing their eyes apart from the other’s eyes.
‘‘Sarada, always the reckless hypocrite, got wounded so I was helping bandage her wound when she...’‘
‘‘...’‘ Mitsuki didn’t say a word waiting patiently for his best friend’s words.
‘‘She kissed me and I kissed her back...’’
‘‘And?’‘
‘‘And you interrupted us, you perv!’‘
‘‘Ahh, I told you you’d make a good couple.’‘
‘‘You also said that dad kissed uncle Sasuke, you’re not always credible for that kinda of stuff.’‘
‘‘I am, you just don’t know it yet.’‘
Boruto reached for the bottle’s cap and threw it at Mitsuki.
‘‘We should get going now.’‘ Boruto said as he tried to get up.
‘‘Maybe you should rest up a bit.’‘
‘‘Nah, it’s fine, I wanna get back to Konoha as fast as possible.’‘ he said, imagining a black haired girl, with glowing black eyes and a wide smile greeting him at the gates.
Mitsuki just smiled and nodded, already knowing his friend’s intentions to meet Sarada and do their usual after mission routine.
A routine he was a part of a couple of years ago, a routine he felt he should let it be a Boruto and Sarada thing not a team 7 thing.
‘Chou-chou owes me a cappuccino.’ he thought, recalling their bet about who would act first, Sarada or Boruto.
Both Sarada and Boruto were quite terrible at romance, both of them being in love with the other for at least a couple of years and not realizing, in the end, Sarada turned out to be the less dense of the two.
As for Boruto...he completely fell head over heels for her and didn’t notice till she took action that his childhood best friend, is something much more now.
