A/N: This filler is different from the others, as it focuses more on Boruto, Mitsuki and Shikadai's friendship during their university days. More notes and announcements from the authors after the story. Please enjoy!

We don't own Naruto/Boruto.


Boruto was in the middle of studying for an upcoming final. He had a week before the exam, but he always liked to be prepared and he prided himself in having excellent grades, so putting forth his best effort was a must. His roommate, Mitsuki, was another story entirely and had tried to convince Boruto to go out with him for a milkshake. He wasn't happy with Boruto refusing, but after a few words, he left and Boruto was able to study in peace.

At least until his phone rang.

He ignored it. It wouldn't do for him to get distracted when he was in the middle of reading over his studies. Truthfully, Boruto could ace his exams without studying, but he preferred to keep himself productive and at least be able to say he worked for his excellent scores. It was hard to concentrate though when his phone rang again.

And again.

And again.

"What the hell?" He scoffed, glaring over at his phone that was on his bed, currently charging.

Before he could get up, someone started knocking on his door frantically. The urgency finally hit him and realizing something must have been terribly wrong, he got up quickly and hurried to the door.

"Shikadai?" Boruto frowned at his wide-eyed friend when he opened the door to find him there, looking a bit frazzled. "The hell is going on, was that you calling?"

He was pushed inside the dorm, with his friend hastily closing the door behind him. "Shit, Boruto. Where's Mitsuki? I-I think—his snakes are on the loose!"

"What?!" Boruto gasped, taken aback. "Mitsuki… he went out. He's not here! No way his snakes got out." Even though he said it with absolute certainty, he turned around and peeked at the large aquarium where the snakes normally were when Mitsuki was gone.

It was empty.

"Holy shit," Boruto whispered, laying a hand over his chest as he took slow steps to his bed and sat down. "They're gone…"

"No shit!" Shikadai ground his teeth together and willed himself to calm down. "I was in the lounge when someone started screaming that there was a snake slithering on one of the couches. No one even tried to catch it."

Of course they didn't. "Mitsuki is the only one who would ever want to touch those nasty things." Boruto gagged. "But… he might get in trouble. Maybe we should call him…"

"Can you reach him, though?" Shikadai rubbed his forehead anxiously. "I tried calling him, but he didn't respond." He sat down on the bed and let out an exasperated sigh. "I thought he left them at home over the break. How does he even sneak those into campus?"

"That's why I'm saying he will get in trouble! Mitsuki can't live without his damn snakes." Boruto groaned, running his hand through his hair while the other grabbed his phone. Mitsuki's phone was going straight to voicemail. "I'll kill him."

"Not if the snakes kill you first," Shikadai muttered. "I'm not touching those things, alright?"

"Shikadai, don't be that way. You can't leave this to me alone… I'm allergic." Boruto pouted at his friend, already feeling sick just thinking about having to handle one of those snakes.

Shikadai scowled at him. "I don't care if you're allergic, I'm not touching it. Get a bag or something."

"You will pick them up with the bag?" Boruto asked hopefully and got up, sliding his phone in his pocket while going to peek under Mitsuki's bed, searching for a bag they could use.

"Hell no," Shikadai snorted. "He's your best friend and roommate."

"Shikadaaaiiiii!" Boruto whined. "That's not fair, I can't go in alone. I hate them even more than you… but, for Mitsuki…"

"Exactly," Shikadai stood up and placed his hands on his hips. "It's for Mitsuki. Which is why you and I are going to go out there, find those snakes, and you will pick them up and put them in this bag before anyone can see us, okay?"

Boruto scowled but headed to the door in defeat. "I hate you both." He was never going to forgive Mitsuki for this—or Shikadai. "You said in the lounge?" He asked as the two of them left the room and began hurrying down the hallway.

"That was like twenty minutes ago," Shikada placed his hands in his pockets, a victorious smirk on his face. "I don't know where they are now, but it shouldn't be too hard to find them. Just follow the sound of screaming people."

And sure enough, in the distance, Boruto could hear people screaming. He was dreading the whole situation, but he knew how much those snakes meant to Mitsuki and he knew how much trouble Mitsuki could get in for having them at all—and of he got caught, they would get taken from campus, leaving Mitsuki too depressed for Boruto to handle. That thought had his walk turning into a sprint.

There were people running away from the lounge, screaming about a snake. Boruto's relief wasn't short-lived when they walked in and he spotted one just curled up on the couch as if taking a nap there. Only one. No others in sight.

"Oh no… they're separated!" He cried, tiptoeing over to the couch and staring at the white snake in horror. "It's all your fault!" He accused his friend. "If only you would have gathered them before. Now we have to search everywhere! What if none of them are together?!"

"My—MY FAULT?!" Shikadai shouted in a whisper. "How is any of this my fault? You were in the dorm the whole day! How can you not notice them slipping out?" The two argued a little more, and Shikadai was brought back to reality when another shrill scream came from the hallway. "Okay, okay, shit. Shut up, let me think." He sighed and closed his eyes. "How many of them are there?"

"Five." Boruto croaked, standing before the couch and shifting his feet, trying to prepare himself to grab the snake. He opened the bag with trembling hands and in one quick move, threw it down over the snake. He tried to slide and scoop, but the snake wasn't going in properly.

He may have screamed when he had to shove it in with his foot. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." He was going to have a heart attack.

"Don't be a baby," Shikadai commented but cowered behind a chair. "Close the damn zipper already!"

"ME?!" Boruto screeched. "You stupid bastard, you're not helping at all!" Boruto looked at the bag, zipping it up roughly. "NOW HOW THE HELL WILL I GET THE OTHERS IN HERE?!"

"Get another bag or something, shit, I don't know!" Shikadai flinched when the bag in Boruto's hand moved. "Where the fuck is Mitsuki?! He's the only one who can touch these things."

Boruto pulled his phone out of his pocket, barely able to unlock it from how badly he was shaking. Before he could try and call Mitsuki again, another scream was heard in the hallway. "Damn it!" He hissed, returning his phone to his pocket and carrying the bag with him, keeping it out at arm's length. He dropped it the instant he stepped into the hallway and spotted a black snake slithering towards him. Boruto screamed like a scared little girl and jumped on Shikadai's back.

"Get off me!" Shikadai tried to shove Boruto off, but in the process stumbled on his own feet and fell over. The two boys crashed on their backs and went stiff when they felt a cold serpentine shape slither between their bodies, touching their legs and hips. "FUCKING HELL!" Shikadai rolled over to the side, pushing the snake over to Boruto. "OPEN THE BAG AND GET IT IN!"

"AHHHHH!" Boruto screamed again, flinging the snake off of him and back onto Shikadai, hurriedly scurrying as far away as he could until his hand came in contact with another one. "Oh sh-fuck!" He screamed again, even louder, near choking the snake out with a death grip around its neck.

Boruto never moved so fast in his life, hurrying to the bag. "Open it, idiot! Hurry! HURRY!" He was in a panic, jumping up and down.

Swallowing his fear, Shikadai held the bag and shook it around until he could see the weight at the bottom, knowing the other snake wasn't anywhere near the zipper. He held it away from his body and towards Boruto, opening the zipper halfway.

Boruto shoved the snake inside and even though his heart was pounding and he was afraid, he snatched up the other snake and put it in as well, knocking Shikadai out of the way so he could get it zipped up. Then he collapsed on the floor, sprawling out on his back and panting for breath.

There was no time to rest before shrill screams echoed through campus—all girls both of them noted easily. Boruto got to his feet, groaned dejectedly. "Two more… only two more…"

"They better both be in the same place because I do not want to touch these things ever again," Shikadai scowled, carrying the bag away from his body, the snakes inside swaying from side to side.

The two of them ran down the hall, following the screams. They stopped in their tracks when two girls wrapped in towels ran right through them, seemingly not caring that their towels were doing so little to keep their modesty.

Shikadai and Boruto's eyes greedily followed the girls down the hall, their bodies even twisting around to get a longer look, before turning around to face the door wherein more shrill and girly screams came from. And that's when they saw the room's name on the door.

GIRLS' SHOWER ROOM

The two of them stood straight, auras instantly darkening, shadows casting over their eyes and their lips pressing into fine lines.

"Bro…" Shikadai started, voice serious.

"Yeah, bro… we got this." Boruto breathed, finally finding a content level of calm. No snake was going to best him—not when there were naked girls around.

With one big breath in, the two of them put a hand on the door and stepped in, feeling as brave as ever and determined to save all the lovely girls from the big scary snake.

There were girls running around, bodies a blur amidst the steam that hung heavy in the air. It was chaos, and everyone was pointing everywhere to where the snake might be. Some of the girls didn't even care to look their way, while others gave them dirty looks.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" One of the girls pointed an accusatory finger at the pair. "This is the girls' shower room!"

Boruto held up has hands and smiled reassuringly at the girls. "Now, ladies… just calm down. We heard your screams and came to help." He explained calmly, having yet to look for the snake. To prove his point, he swept his gaze around, looking at everything except for the serpent "Do you know where it is?"

Some of the girls seemed to calm down at this, and there was one girl screaming at the corner that she found it, holding fast on the shower curtain to hide her naked body. "Th-there!" She pointed.

Shikadai calmly walked over, hands in his pockets and a slight smirk on his face. Probably his best attempt to look cool in front of the girls, but in truth, his hands were shaking and he desperately wanted to hide them.

"L-let me see," Shikadai stepped into the shower, barely keeping his calm facade on as he was face to face with a red snake. It wasn't as large as the black one earlier, but this definitely looked more dangerous. It was slithering its tongue out.

With a shaky hand, Shikadai picked up a small towel from the shower floor and threw it on the snake's head before picking it up by the neck and nearly gagging. It was wet, and slippery, but thank god the towel was between his hand and the snake. He walked over quickly to Boruto, who held the bag open for him to dump it in, throwing the towel aside and keeping his back to the girls, only letting Boruto see how green his face was.

Once the bag was zipped up securely, Boruto stood straight with a big grin on his face. "See, it's all taken care of." He said, winking at the girls who were all huddled together.

Some of the girls relaxed and sighed, happy to have the situation dealt with. Other girls even went far enough to approach them, giving both Boruto and Shikadai light touches and words of adoration and thanks. It was all short-lived, as the girl who accused them earlier pushed all of them out of the locker room.

Boruto was grinning from ear to ear, his earlier nerves forgotten and he sighed wistfully. "Well, that wasn't bad at all." He snickered, giving Shikadai a smug look. "You were all badass in there, going for it. I expected you to hold the bag open."

"Shut up," Shikadai averted his gaze. "We will never speak of this again."

There was no more screaming, but there was still one more snake missing. The bag was heavy now and he didn't know if they'd even be able to fit another snake in there, so he decided to take the ones they already collected back to his room.

While they walked and talked about the shower room and the girls, Boruto tried calling Mitsuki again, but his phone was still going straight to voicemail. It really irked the blond, but there was nothing he could do. Not until he got his eyes on Mitsuki again. Luckily for him, just as they rounded the corner and stepped into the hallway his room was on, they found Mitsuki standing outside of the room.

He was sipping a milkshake, a small white snake wrapped around his arm as if nothing was wrong.

"Mitsuki!" Boruto hissed, stomping over to him and holding up the bag that had grown very awkward to carry. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Hello, Boruto, Shikadai," Mitsuki smiled, momentarily putting his drink down and responded calmly. "I was out getting a milkshake. You would have known if you joined me."

"I had to study!" Boruto growled. "And you cut your phone off! I couldn't get through to you! Your damn snakes were all over the place! HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?!"

Shikadai pouted, crossing his arms across his chest. Even he was displeased.

Mitsuki hummed. "Perhaps they cared enough to go out with me and get some exercise instead of staying in the dorm all day." He then grinned and dipped to sip his milkshake, the little snake on his arm sticking its tongue out at Mitsuki. "Isn't that right?" He asked the snake before it slithered into his sleeve.

Boruto's left eye twitched, because he was definitely picking up what Mitsuki was putting down. "Are you… telling me… that you… fucking… let these damn snakes just… loose… just to GET BACK AT ME?!" Boruto's right hand clenched into a fist that he raised at the guy who was supposed to be his best friend. "Do you have… any idea what I went through?!"

Mitsuki fished the dorm keys out of his pocket and slipped it in the door knob and opened it. Before he entered, he smiled at Boruto. "Then perhaps next time you'll choose to join me when I crave for a milkshake, hmm?" He then entered the room, and the white snake dropped to the floor, slithering around inside.

"Shit Boruto," Shikadai muttered. "We could have avoided the whole thing…" His voice rose and his hands were balled into fists. "IF YOU WENT OUT FOR A MILKSHAKE?!"

Boruto groaned and rushed at Mitsuki, shoving the snake infested bag at him before whirling around to glare at Shikadai. "I didn't want to!" If he didn't want to go out, he shouldn't have to. "Besides, if I had gone… you would have never got that eyeful."

Shikadai froze and choked. "Sh-shut up!" His cheeks burned.

Mitsuki sat on the chair and swiveled from side to side, still sipping his milkshake. "Eyeful?" He tipped his head to the side innocently and waited for their explanation.

"I'm not talking to you, bastard!" Boruto snapped. "Ugh, I'm disgusting. I need a shower now. To hell with studying." Boruto was never going to get over this and now knew that Mitsuki was willing to be petty as hell if he didn't get his way and Shikadai was no help unless boobs were involved.

This was never going to happen again!

(and that is the story of how those mother fucking snakes got out in the mother fucking dorm.)


A/N: Hello, everyone! First off, we would like to thank everyone for reading, faving, following, reviewing, and overall supporting me and Tyy's story. We had a blast writing this filler, even if it isn't BoruSara. We thought showing some history between the boys would be a good story to tell.

For the next week, we will not be posting updates for Sincerely Yours. Instead, we will be updating Hold You Down instead. After that, we will be going back to Sincerely Yours' main story line. Since March is Boruto and Sarada's birth month, we have more chapters that relate to that, hence, more updates towards their birthdays rather than early on.

In the future, we will also be writing more fillers for Sincerely Yours and Hold You Down might move to a bi-weekly schedule. We will announce it after we get a firmer schedule.

Hope you have a good week ahead and do leave us a review!

Cheers,

Kairi and Tyy
