#1: Haircut

"That Sarada," Boruto muttered, leaning against the railing of the bridge with his eyes narrowed a little. "She ain't normally this late."

"I agree," said Mitsuki, folding his arms across his chest. "Perhaps something happened?"

Boruto thought about it for a moment. "We'll wait here a few minutes more, and if she still hasn't arrived by then, we'll go check on her at her house," he decided.

Mitsuki nodded in response, the two of them falling into momentary silence.

It was currently the season of autumn in Konoha. Many leaves scattered the ground, and a few more were falling slowly from the branches of the trees in the surroundings. Mitsuki listened as Boruto grumbled about having to rake the piled-up leaves in his backyard once he got home. Mitsuki smiled slightly at that and briefly wondered what it was like to have a family. Would his biological parents make him rake the yard as well? Would they prepare snacks for his friends as well after an afternoon's work?

Mitsuki was eventually snapped out of his thoughts by a familiar voice calling out to them.

"Hey, Boruto! Mitsuki!"

"Ah, finally, she's here," Boruto said, turning around along with Mitsuki to face their teammate. "Oi, Sara—" His voice suddenly cut off.

"…Sorry I'm late," Sarada apologized, subsequently taking off her glasses because it became foggy from her run.

"E—Eh?!" Boruto exclaimed, "Y—Your hair…"

"Ah, yeah," said Sarada. "I wanted to make it short it since it was getting in the way of training a little. It's why I'm late because Mama kinda took her time in cutting it…"

"B—But…" Boruto still looked lost for words. "Your hair was so long…"

"Why? Does it look terrible on me?" Sarada said testily.

"I didn't mean it like that!"

Sarada sighed, almost forgetting to wipe the fog off her lenses. "You're hopeless… Well, what about you, Mitsuki?"

The sound of his name from her lips jolted Mitsuki out of his thoughts once more and he looked at her, startled. He had been astonished since Sarada appeared very similar to what she looked like back when they were twelve and he had been comparing the two images in his head.

Due to being caught off-guard, he blinked at her. "…What?" He hadn't heard her.

"…" Suddenly, Sarada felt shy for reasons unknown. "Well, um… Do I look okay?"

Mitsuki, having quickly regained his composure, smiled his usual light smile. "Hm? Yeah. You look very cute, Sarada."

"…!"

Boruto stared at the almost imperceptible blush on Sarada's cheeks and raised an eyebrow. "…Is there something going on…?"
