Credit for the prompt "cameras and photographs" goes to iBloo.

The vast difference in the original idea at this prompt and the final product continues to astound me. I hope this is up to your tastes.

Inspired by an actual BoruSara cosplay, that poster of Boruto in a tuxedo by SP and Boruto SD.

Post-Mujina arc but pre-Ao arc.

"Alright, so tell me again. Why were all three of us hired?" Sarada's gruntled voice came from behind the doors of one of the vanity rooms in the clothes' trailer.

"Ah, the designer for this clothing line saw you and Boruto arguing in front of Thunder Burger and immediately picked up on your natural chemistry together. He wanted models for his new clothing line for teenagers and decided that the two of you together would be perfect to showcase his work. I and Sensei, I believe, on the other hand, were hired to prevent the two of you from murdering each other." Mitsuki explained calmly from his seat outside the door.

The former Land of Whirlpools, now a part of the Land of Fire, was quite a well known tourist spot and it's beaches were iconic. A paid work trip to this place was a blessing, particularly after the stinging probation imposed on Boruto.

A good thing too. In Konohamaru-Sensei's opinion, Boruto really needed to get out of Konoha, for at least a little while, where he was simultaneously either being insulted quite audibly for cheating or being drooled and fawned over for being a hero who was instrumental in rescuing the Seventh Hokage. The Chunin Exams was a sobering experience for the entire team, showing them that records and reputations in the shinobi world are as fickle as hell, and this trip was a blessing no matter how one looks at it.

"I know that! And he and I have no chemistry. Ugh…Boruto is going to make fun of me again." Sarada groaned.

"I don't think he will. You look quite pleasant in anything you wear." Mitsuki pointed out.

"He will! I just know it! He told me that cute clothes don't suit me at all just a few weeks ago!" Sarada's face flushed up in anger as the memory of the humiliating incident flashed before her eyes.

"Well, considering the clothes you are supposed to showcase are rather…risqué than cute, I sincerely doubt it." Mitsuki smiled in plain amusement.

"Hey guys! What do you think?"

The doors of a vanity room down the trailer opened up to reveal a grinning Boruto. Dressed sharply in a mahogany tuxedo, Boruto's beautiful blue eyes sparkled in contrast to his baby pink shirt and strawberry pink tie. His messy golden hair stood up handsomely. The white leather belt and black leather shoes complimented the entire attire beautifully. Boruto looked boyishly handsome.

"You look good." Mitsuki smiles appreciatively.

"Good?!" Boruto grinned cheekily as he appraised himself in a nearby floor length mirror. "I look great!"

Mitsuki chokes back a snicker at Boruto's enthusiasm. It is good to see him enjoying himself for the first time in a while. But now he had work to do. If he didn't, Boruto is going to die single and childless in all probability.

"So, I heard you told Sarada that cute clothes don't suit her." Mitsuki said, dropping his voice to a low volume and moving away from near Sarada's vanity room, lest she hears them through the door.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Boruto, sweating and grinning in chagrin, put up his hands in defence. "That one with it's frills and bows looked something out of Hima's wardrobe. That's not really Sarada's style. She usually wears preppy and schoolgirl."

"And risqué as well." Mitsuki pointed out, appreciating Boruto's fashion awareness.

"Umm…yeah. That too." Boruto's cheeks coloured up a bit. "Her clothes tend to be a bit…tomboyish, that aside. I was just caught off guard that day."

"I think Sarada would look very good in cute clothes." Mitsuki complimented his female teammate sincerely.

"I am not saying she won't-"

"Guys! What do you think?"

The doors of Sarada's vanity room threw open to reveal their female teammate. An audible gasp left Boruto's jaw wide open while Mitsuki's eyes lit up in appreciation. Her long legs were gracefully tipped with black low heeled ballerina shoes. The glossy black leather mini skirt had a black spaghetti top and a black lace overshirt tucked into it. A golden necklace with a crystal pendant hung around her neck while her lips were stained a glossy red. Sarada looked like a picture of allure and innocence simultaneously.

"You look very good." Mitsuki assured Sarada. "She does, doesn't she, Boruto?" Mitsuki turned to his 'sun', hoping silently that he doesn't screw up this time. The last time Sarada put in an effort in her appearance, he bluntly told her, on being asked by her whether she looked good, that she looked the same and that girls took a lot of time dressing up. Not that Boruto was wrong. Sarada looked pretty, which she did everyday, but it was clear as day that Sarada had expected a compliment for her extra effort.

But it seemed as though he need not worry. Boruto's hanging jaw, speechlessness, blushing cheeks, piercing look and sparkling wide eyes seemed to have sent Sarada into a blushing fit. She returned his appreciative glances, appraising him up and down, which in turn sent the boy into a blushing fit of his own.

"Umm…."

"Umm…..you…"

"….."

"….yes?"

"….you…."

"….."

"….."

"….."

"You two get along really well."

"No! We don't!" Two indignant voices replied back to their teammate simultaneously.

"We should get to the shoot if you two are done."

"Umm.. yes!"

"Y-Yeah, s-sure!"

…

"Is that a teen fashion magazine?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrow at Sai.

The group of four - Naruto, Sasuke, Sai and Shikamaru - were taking a rare lunch break at Ichiraku, waiting for their orders to arrive.

"Yes. Our children were quite all over this thing after their Ino-Shika-Cho training today, so I tried to be a little more fun teacher by asking them about what had actually interested them in the magazine. Turns out that there is quite an interesting photoshoot in it. Chocho was generous enough to lend it to me." Sai answered back with restrained amusement.

"And what would that be?" Sasuke looked frankly unimpressed. Being dragged into a lunch outing with the idiot, his replacement and an old classmate was not his idea of fun. But if this actually gave him some idea about what kids liked these days, it might help him bond with Sarada besides just training. Maybe he could buy her some clothes.

"Ah! Here it is!" Sai flipped to his intended page and slid the magazine towards a curious Naruto. An undignified howl left the Seventh Hokage's mouth within moments while his eyes threatened to fall out. A curious Sasuke and Shikamaru lent forward to look at the magazine's contents.

Boruto and Sarada were locked in an intimate spooning at an expensive looking beach resort. Boruto had his arms around Sarada who had her back to Boruto's chest while gently clutching onto his hands. The couple had their eyes locked into each other's. The hint of blush on both of their cheeks could be made out even in the pictures. It was not the only picture though. There were others. One had Boruto with his head on Sarada's lap while sharing an eyelock with her on a beach. Another had Sarada sitting on one of Boruto's legs and turned inwards towards him while they shared a smile at a restaurant. Another had Sarada happily embracing Boruto from behind in shallow sea waters.

The table had suddenly gone quiet. "Well." A nervous Shikamaru tried to salvage the situation. "This was their mission, so it can't be helped." A chill ran down his spine as he felt the temperature of the air around Sasuke drop inversely proportional to the increasing darkening aura around him.

"Naruto."

"Yeah?" A glazy eyed Naruto looked up towards his best friend.

"I need you to give me a training mission with your son for a few weeks. Preferably to a potentially hazardous dimension."
