"Obviously you have mistaken me for somebody who gives a shit." For BoruSara! (requested by ibloo)
Title: The significance is in the eye of the beholder
AN: My Tumblr drabble prompt collection for BoruSara. Figured it was time to gather them in one place rather than having tiny fics all over the place :)
"Seriously guys, can you walk any slower?" Boruto asked, not even trying to hide his irritation with his teammates at this stage.
"Honestly, you've been a pain ever since we received the mission. Can you stop being, well, you, for five minutes?" Sarada snapped.
He had been hounding them to get this mission over and done with as soon as possible, and thrown the biggest tantrum when it turned out that their D-rank 'service' mission turned out to be a waitress/waiter job during a wedding between two village-heads. Which meant that no matter how fast he wanted them to complete the mission, he was stuck until the wedding was over and done with, three days later. Yeah, sure, it might not have been her favourite mission ever either, but the music had been nice, they had been allowed to watch the ceremony, and everybody had been kind. Additionally, the reward hadn't been too bad either, considering the low rank of the mission.
She wasn't going to deny that she too was looking forward to coming home and having a long shower to get the grease smell from the deep-fryer out of her hair. But his insistent nagging, from start to finish, and his whining about the mission being 'below' him was really starting to grate on her nerves. There was only so much bull-shit someone could take before they shoved said idiot through a window, without making sure it was open first.
"But Sarada," he started anew, and she could feel the vein on her forehead grow larger. "You just don't get it, I have to be home by five! This mission lasted way longer than I thought. I mean, who celebrates a wedding for three days? You know?"
"Why, why is that? You have been whining to Mitsuki and I about getting home non-stop, what is so important that you have to be home by five?" She found herself asking, despite knowing better.
Perhaps it had something to do with his Himawari? She knew how fond he was of her. While Sarada would never admit it, she found it extremely cute how protective of and kind he was towards his little sister. Maybe she had a school thing going on tonight or something like that?
"Thunder Burger is releasing a new hamburger today, and I really want to try it! You get a special package with it too, but only today," he deadpanned as if that explained everything.
Sarada blinked.
Was he kidding with her? Had all the tantrums, all the negativity and all the whining been for a stupid burger? She closed her fists and took a deep breath. Perhaps it wasn't too late to hand in the appeal to change teams?
Noticing her reaction, and most importantly, her fists, he held his hands up in the air in a placating manner. "It's this new thing, they call it 'The Lot Burger' as in, it has 'the lot' on it. Some really weird stuff like eggs, pineapple, beetroot, and bacon. It sounds really gross, and I just have to try one!" he tried to explain.
"I think," she started, trying with all her might to control her voice, "that you obviously have mistaken me for somebody who gives a shit, and if you don't shut up right now, I swear I'll make you regret it."
