Sarada was holding on to the scroll so tight, she was afraid it would snap in half. It was signed and sealed by the Hokage himself–this was no prank. This was the real deal. Boruto was assigned to stay with Sarada until a new Leaf ambassador was appointed to Amegakure. She read it again and again, looking for a loophole, but there was none.

Boruto stood in front of her desk, grinning like an idiot, with his fingers laced behind his head. He was enjoying this far too much. "Looks like we're stuck together," he said, all too pleased with the situation.

She pushed her glasses back up. "It seems so." She leaned back in her chair. "I don't know what you did to convince Hokage-sama, but if you think for one minute that this will change anything," she looked at him and glared, "it won't."

He placed his hands down and glared at her too. "Tch. You're acting like you don't know me. When I set my mind to something, I always get what I want."

She smirked. "Sounds like you're just being a brat again. You can't always get what you want, Boruto."

He placed his hands on her desk and leaned in close enough to feel her breath. He had a devious grin on his face. "I know you want me, too."

Sarada's eyes widened at his presumptuousness.

"And I'll prove it to you."

It's been two weeks, and it was getting harder and harder for Sarada to avoid Boruto. Mostly because they had to share an apartment. Days wherein work would be cancelled due to inclement weather was a norm in Amegakure and was usually a welcome change of pace for Sarada. But now that Boruto was sitting right next to her on the couch, playing his game while she tried to read, it seemed so stupid to avoid the elephant in the room.

She chewed on her lower lip as she stared at him, contemplating how to start.

Boruto didn't look up from his game, but spoke to her, "just let me know when you want to talk."

She jumped. Sarada placed her book down and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Are you really here on the Hokage's orders, or did you just force your way here?"

Boruto put his game down. "Does it really matter? Whichever it was, I'm here and I want to work things out with you."

Her face was cool and collected, her voice sounded as such, too. "Why do you want this so much? You're popular, Boruto. There are a lot of other girls out there."

He grimaced. "I don't want another girl. I want you, Sarada. And that is not going to change." He locked his sapphire eyes with her onyx ones.

Sarada's eyes widened, and a light pink tainted her cheeks. She looked away. "It's not going to work out," she whispered.

Boruto smiled and moved closer to her. He held on to her chin, making her face him again. "We won't know until we try. I made a decision to choose you everyday." Boruto pulled out a silver ring with a small diamond in the middle from his pocket and presented it to her. "Will you do the same for me, too?"

Heat flooded all the way up to Sarada's ears. Tears were pooling at the corner of her eyes. Her voice was shaky, "oh… Kami. Is this for real?"

Boruto grinned until his eyes disappeared. "It's only real if you say yes. If not, I'll take it back and ask again tomorrow."

Sarada paused for a while and then laughed. She couldn't believe this guy, pulling jokes at such a serious time.

She nodded her head. Before Boruto could say anything else, she asked, "are you sure about your decision?"

He put the ring on her finger and smiled. "I have never been more sure about anything my entire life."

A/N: I bet none of you saw a proposal coming, did ya? hehe. This was a particularly fun story for me to write. If I recall properly, these three were my first angst fics, and my readers on tumblr were really surprised since I usually write all fluff and happy endings. Well, you still get that fluff and happy ending! ^^

Thank you so much to everyone who has constantly reviewed, read, and supported this collection of shorties but goodies. You guys keep me inspired.

Please leave a review my way! Please please. It's Monday tomorrow, and I'll need all the good vibes I can get.
