Sarada looked on enviously through her window, as she watched children walking with their fathers everywhere. Today was her least favourite day of the year, Father's Day.

She never had a Father to give a card to or buy chocolates for. Sure some might say, 'suck it up! At least you still have a Mom.' But it hurts watching happy and complete families roaming everywhere when hers was so broken. Even the hokage had taken the day off to spend with his children.

Sarada's own Mom was called to the hospital due to an emergency situation that would take at least 2 days to solve.

Sarada decided to walk around town hoping to find something to distract herself with, but it turned out to be a worse idea than staying at home. Everywhere she looked all she saw were huge cards saying how their Father was their first love, or how important he was to them. And if not cards, there were chocolates with the same messages on them. Sarada decided to stop torturing herself and head home.

She then locked herself in her room and started to wonder if she was the reason he left. A dark trail of though her mind often took. 'Was I not good enough for him? Did he even want me in the first place? Am I the reason he left?' Sarada thought as she buried her face in her pillow and cried. She cried for the love she lost in the form of her Father, cried for feeling envious of other Father-Daughter relationships, cried cause she was left behind and most of all cried because she was hurt.

And just like that the day finally passed. 'Not for another year.' Sarada thought as she walked down the stairs. She washed her face and cringed when she looked at it, her usually stoic black eyes were now red and puffy. Her pin straight hair now resembling a nest. Seriously all that was left was for a birds head to come popping out and the image would be complete.

She reluctantly fixed her hair and face, picked up her bag and left for school. She met up with Chouchou and Iinchou on the way and watched in silence as they chatted away, well Chouchou did anyways.

Sarada knows she shouldn't be complaining, Iinchou doesn't have either of her parents and she never complains. So what right does she have, having such a wonderful Mother.

Just as she walked into class she lost her footing on some water and fell on Boruto, her crush. "Sarada! Get off you're heavy!" Boruto said trying to wiggle out from under Sarada. "Shut up Baka!" She said as she hastily got up and stuck her tongue out at him. Which he reciprocated.

They then split apart Sarada going to her friends and Boruto to his, before the home room bell rang. Sarada sat behind Boruto in class and was hence subjected to his continued whining about his fathers lack of time for his family. After 20 minutes of the same whining Sarada had had enough she slammed her hands on her desk and screamed, "Your Father is the busiest man in Konoha and he still makes time for you. What the hell are you complaining for. At least he's still alive. At least you've seen your Father once in your life, be grateful you jerk!", while the teacher was still in class, before running away with tears streaming down her face.

Boruto was shocked still due to the what had just transpired. Sure Sarada and him have had their fights but not once has she ever cried in front of him.

"Sarada!" Chouchou called out breaking Boruto out of his trance. She was about to follow Sarada but was beaten by Boruto dashing out the door. Seeing that Boruto went after her Chouchou grinned evilly, her grin being mirrored by some other members of the class. "You losers get ready to pay up!" Chouchou announced before taking her seat.

~~~~Meanwhile~~~~

Boruto found Sarada crying on one of the swings they used to play on when they were younger. Boruto tentatively proceeded towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder. Sarada recognised Boruto's scent and tackled him in a hug that almost toppled him over. She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed her heart out.

The feeling of Boruto patting her slowly calmed her down. And soon she wasn't crying anymore just sniffling. "I'm sorry." She croaked from her spot on his shoulder. "I'm sorry too." Boruto said hugging her a little tighter and placing his Chin on top of her head. "I just... I just felt so lonely and I was so jealous that you could spend any time at all with your Father. Getting jealous of my own friends. Im such a terrible person." Sarada said as she buried her head further into his shoulder. "Wanting something you don't have makes you human. And screw your dad he doesn't know what he's missing." Boruto said stroking her head comfortingly. "And as for the lonely part. You have me... er... all of us so don't ever feel that way ok?" Boruto continued the slight blush on his face causing Sarada to giggle. "I know, dork." Sarada muttered against his chest, the blush on his face brightening at the action.

"I'm sorry again. What I said was completely uncalled for and just down right terrible. Of course you have the right to feel how you feel." Sarada said a few minutes after calming down and letting go of Boruto instead holding onto his hand as they walked around the park. "Don't worry about it. I do need to stop my tantrums though. You gave me the wake up call I needed, so thanks." Boruto replied.

"How do you know exactly what to say, all the time?" Sarada asked, curiously/randomly as she recalled all the times Boruto comforted her when they were children. "What can I say? I'm just fluent in the language that pertains to one Sarada Uchiha." Boruto said teasingly to which Sarada giggled a bit. "Thank you Boruto. For everything!" Sarada said giving him one of her rare, bright and genuine smiles which made Boruto's heart do summersaults. 'Weird.' Boruto remarked to himself before shrugging it off and continuing on the road back to school.

~~~~In The Bushes~~~~

"Naruto! Let me see!" Sakura said as she pushed her Best Friend away to get a better look at the scene in front of them. Their offsprings walking hand in hand, in a park. Sakura's eyes were literally sparkling. "I have shipped them since they were 5 years old and Boruto gave her that flower!" Sakura exclaimed happily to Hinata who looked as excited as she was about the development. Naruto on the other hand had paled a little. "No way am I going to be related to Sasuke! Boruto! Sara..." Naruto exclaimed before his screaming was muffled by Sakura's hand as she dangerously whispered death threats into his ear if he were to ruin her ship. Naruto looked to Hinata for help but she had almost the same expression on her face. Sighing in defeat he resigned to his fate and put his hands up in Surrender.

~~~~On The Way Back To School~~~~

"Did you hear something?" Sarada asked as she turned around to look behind her. "Not really." Boruto said as he continued waking towards school.

They reached the school gates and Sarada surprised Boruto by hugging him tight and whispering 'thank you' into his ear. Boruto stood there shocked stiff before his face split into a huge grin and he ran towards a blushing Sarada and put his arm around her.

As they walked into the class they saw a bunch of kids hand Chouchou money while muttering something about a stupid hug, but didn't think much of it as they were both in their own world. They sat next to each other for the whole day and the day after that and the day after that and the day after that and so on and so forth. Soon that was his unofficial place right next to Sarada.

Boruto said it was so that she would never feel lonely again but the rest of the class new better, and soon wages were made on their first kiss...
