I want to thank Kairi-chan for this prompt! Also, my ask is working now, if anyone has any questions let me know. Boruto and Sarada are 17 in this one-shot.
Being the son of the Hokage wasn't easy for Boruto growing up. For Sarada being the daughter of two sanin wasn't easy. Her father wasn't really around while growing up and her mother was the best medic-nin there was. These days Sarada mind was wandering off more than she liked. She had started to question her and Boruto's relationship, there were times where she felt like they weren't working out. Her boyfriend would assure her that they were fine. To Boruto, Sarada meant so much to him. Boruto always knew if something was bothering her.
Boruto just got back from a mission, he immediately notices his girlfriend's change in behavior. Mitsuki warned him that Sarada wasn't in a mood and not to bother her. It didn't stop him from getting to the bottom of it.
"Sara-chan," Sarada heard her boyfriend's voice. He didn't call her that if he knew something was wrong.
"What did you do," As much as she loved her boyfriend something his antics were just annoying.
"Why do you assume I did something," Boruto defend himself.
"I know you."
"Sarada do you need to tell me something,"
"Nothing just peachy," Boruto picked up the hints that his girlfriend was struggling with something. "See you later." Is all she said.
"I just got back," Boruto puffed like a child.
"I have to meet Lord Seventh." Sarada walked off. Boruto sighed at his girlfriend, somedays she was downright difficult. Sarada avoided Boruto for the next few days until he marched himself down to the Uchiha compound. Luckily for Boruto, Sarada's parent wasn't home at the time. Boruto decided to put his foot down and demanded answers. Sarada just gave to his childish nature.
Sarada was anger she was beyond anger. For once she wasn't angered at her idiotic boyfriend. She was angry at herself. These days Sarada had been moody according to her friends. Sarada more jealous than anything, mainly at her parents. They weren't a normal couple that's for sure. For Sarada and Boruto being was just unlike to happen and their position in the village was different. Boruto was pretty much a full mission duty and Sarada more intense Hokage training. Kami-sama better helps her, because she was completely at a loss. Her poor boyfriend knew he girlfriend struggled with something. The last time he asks about it she nearly killed him. Boruto has assumed it was something between their relationship. If Sarada waa doubting their ability of commitment is waa false. Sarada was the most committed person when it came to almost anything. Boruto was tired of his girlfriend's antics.
"Sarada if something is bothering you just tell me. I can't read your mind," Boruto said concerned for his girlfriend.
"I'm fine Boruto just thinking," Sarada said. She would never admit it, but she wanted to scream, cry, shout at him.
"You're thinking too much," Boruto pressed on.
"No I'm fine," Sarada said she was getting irritated with her boyfriend.
"No you are not," Boruto said getting up putting his hand her should. She just brushed him off.
"Boruto Uzumaki. I'm sick and tired of this," Sarada burst. She couldn't keep it in anymore. "I just want us to be a normal couple. I'm tired of all this running around all the time. We never get a break. Sometimes I want to step back from our Shinobi lives."
"Sarada we are shinobi we never get a break," Boruto realizes the words that slip out of his mouth wasn't the smartest response to his girlfriend.
"That's what I just said you baka," Sarada was now really mad at him.
"Sarada there is nothing normal about us," Boruto said. As much as he loved his Sarada she sometimes a lot to handle.
"Then define normal for me," Sarada then exclaimed she was tired of seeing couples in Konoha were normal.
"This is our normal. Running around to maniacs. Our lives are filled with insanity. If it wasn't this way it wouldn't be us. I love the way we are. Sarada Uchiha you are my normal," Boruto burst and turned his girlfriend around and held her. "I'm not letting go until you agree with me." He heard her world lifting laugh.
"I guess you are right. Without your craziness it wouldn't be us," Sarada said hugging her boyfriend. Boruto formed a sly smirk on his face. He picked up his girlfriend.
"Boruto put me down. What if my parents walked in on us right now," Sarada shrieked as the love of her life carried her upstairs.
