A/N
Hello! This is actually my first Naruto-related fanfic since I was like 14 so, I'm sorry. This is mainly centered around Boruto and his bratty self(but I love him), this will take all movies, anime, and manga information into consideration. I will mainly be using the anime as my go-to bc the other main character is an anime exclusive.

There is a time-skip later on and depending on my speed of updating, this fic will likely go beyond anime/manga and become its own (story-wise) outside of them. So, please remember that when the anime/manga catches up and things don't match up *bows*

Rating and warnings may change in the future so, please watch out for my Author's notes for any content warnings and updates. If you're interested in helping me out by beta-reading this story, please email(Lemonboi2k17 ) or pm me on tumblr.

Boruto stood at Denki's desk, his lips curled into his usual huge, cheeky smile. Denki responded with a smaller smile and eyes closed.

"Want to come over to my place today?" Boruto set both hands on the other's desk, excited just by the idea.

Denki had never been invited over to a friend's house so, it took him a minute to realize it wasn't a joke. Before saying anything, he stood from his seat and nodded repeatedly, "That would be awesome!" Denki sounded just as excited.

Boruto happily fist pumped before turning away to grab his belongings, humming a tune as he did so. Once his backpack was over his shoulders, Boruto turned back and waited for his friend to gather his things.

"Wanna stop and grab some snacks, it's on the way to my house?" Boruto asked as he led the way out of class and down the hall.
Denki eagerly nodded, "Sure!" he followed Boruto like a puppy all throughout the school.

Once the pair were out of the academy, it was a short walk to the store. Boruto picked out his usual stack of snacks and drink while Denki picked out a bag of chips, a bottle of green tea and a double popsicle for the road.

Boruto carried both his and Denki's bag on the way home, with a free hand to eat the popsicle that was shared with him. On the walk home, they chatted about school and various video game related topics. It was peaceful, something Boruto hadn't felt in so long. With his other friends, there was always talk about his parents or ninja expectations but with Denki, he felt a blissful peace that came with being a child.

The walk lasted only minutes before they were at the Uzumaki residence, it was quaint for the home of such a famous Hokage. Denki politely entered the house, greeted by Hinata and Himawari.

"Brother brought a friend home!" Himawari announced before jumping her brother, who was holding out some snacks for her.

"I'm back!" Boruto announced, which gained a smile from his mother.

"Well, hello." Hinata watched Denki take off his shoes and set them neatly out of the way, the boy bowing once he was finished with his shoes.

He couldn't help but smile as he greeted the family, "Thank you for having me!" his lips in an even bigger smile that when he was asked to hang out.

Boruto grabbed Denki's arm and proceeded to pull him upstairs, "Let's go to my room, I have tons of stuff to show you!"

Hinata watched them happily, it was the first time Boruto brought someone home that wasn't a child of his parent's peers, "He's finally coming into his own." He mumbled.

Once upstairs, Boruto threw his things on the bed and proceeded to pull out various comics and video games for Denki to look over. Denki, on the other hand, was looking at the pictures on the wall above his desk, they were with all the others that grew up around Boruto because of their parents.

"Being childhood friends must be great…" Denki mumbled as he looked over the pictures with a closer eye.

Boruto looked up, his head tilting to the side, "I guess so." His response was short, but he continued to watch the other's back.

"I'm a bit jealous of your childhood friends, it would have been great growing up with you." Denki pulled a picture of Boruto and Shikadai together as children off the wall.

Boruto stood up and grabbed the brunette by his shoulders, turning him around so they were facing each other. "You're the first friend I've made that wasn't forced on me from birth just because our parents grew up together and you're one the closest friend's I have!" the young ninja professed.

Denki was shocked, but he couldn't help but smile. His insecurities often got in the way and clouded his understating of others but luckily Boruto felt the same about their friendship.

"Honestly, most of my dad's friends never seen him much since he became Hokage so, I don't really know many of their kids besides Skikadai and Sarada." He scratched the back of his head and turned to sit on the floor next to all the stuff he brought out to show.

"You're close to Uchiha-san?" Denki asked, following the other to sit next to him.

"Not especially, her parents are like my dad's best friends so, we saw each other a lot before my dad became Hokage. We haven't really talked since then." Boruto shrugged.

"It's still impressive that you can talk to girls so plainly, I get all choked up if I'm even approached by one." Denki's cheeks tinted red with embarrassment.

Naruto smirked, he quickly moved real close and started poking the other's cheek, "You're blushing! Want some tips from a lady expert?"

Denki looked away, feeling more embarrassed with Boruto now poking him, "Don't tell me, you're the ladies' man?" he mocked.

"Ha! Not really, I just talk to them like I talk to everyone else. I grew up with Himawari so, talking to girls is pretty easy for me." Boruto stopped poking the other's cheek but was still leaning on Denki.

"You're just so cool…" Denki mumbled, his cheeks growing hotter.

Boruto was surprised and suddenly felt embarrassed because of what Denki said. Most of his friends thought he was dork and even if they did think he was cool, they never said anything.

"Thanks." Boruto scratched his cheek, the room was suddenly silent.

The silence was making it more awkward, the sound of their breathing was mismatched and louder than usual. Boruto felt heavier than usual on Denki's side, neither could turn to look at each other.

Luckily, Himawari burst into the room with a huge smile, "Do you want to stay for dinner?" she pounced at Denki.

Denki thought for a moment, his dad would probably want him home for dinner so, he shook his head now. "Sorry, my dad can be kind of strict about what time I get home." He chuckled.

Himawari nodded happily, "Okay!" she waved and skipped out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Let's play a game!" Boruto was finally able to look at Denki, he held up an rpg game for them to play.

Denki agreed with an excited nod and moved to face the television so, they could get started.

About an hour into the game, Denki looked at his watch and realized he needed to head home. He stood up and gathered his school bag, "Sorry Boruto, I gotta head home but I'll see you tomorrow." He waved.

Boruto stood up but Denki stopped him, "I can see myself out. Thank you though." The blonde nodded.

"See you tomorrow." Boruto was disappointed that their time together ended so quick but was still happy he came over.

Denki stepped out of Boruto's room and right into someone, he quickly bowed and apologized.

"Are you okay?" a deep voice called out, it was the 7th Hokage, Naruto. "You must be the friend that Boruto brought over."

Denki stared in awe, not expecting to see the 7th, "Good evening, sir! Yes, I'm Kaminarimon, Denki!" he suddenly straightened up.

"Looks like my son finally made some well-mannered friends, I just hope he's not too much trouble." Naruto bowed and scratched his head.

"No way! Boruto is the coolest guy in our whole class! Denki spoke without thinking, his face then flushed a deep red from how embarrassed he was.

Naruto just responded with a laugh, Denki wondering if Boruto would look like his dad when he was older. The 7th was quite handsome and had many female fans, which meant that Boruto would probably become popular.

With that, Denki let himself out and started home, his embarrassment remained all the way home from how careless he was around the Hokage.

Boruto, on the other hand, could hear his father talking in the hallway, knowing it was likely a clone he just rolled his eyes. "Hopefully Denki didn't fall for that nice guy act." he mumbled.

Boruto saved the game and turned it off, not wanting to continue without Denki. It was almost as if he couldn't wait for school to start just to see his friends, maybe the academy wasn't as bad as he thought it'd be.
