Secret Crush

Team 7 was returning from a mission to a nearby village. It was a pretty simple mission that consisted of accompanying a politician. This mission lasted only three days and they were on their way back to Konoha.

It was getting dark and Konohamaru had decided that it was time for them to set up camp. Boruto and Mitsuki took care of the fire, while Sarada and Konohamaru prepared what to eat. While they were preparing the fire, Mitsuki watched Boruto. Over time, he had become an expert in Boruto. He had come to know every expression on his face, his voice whether he was happy or angry. He knew him by heart. Some might say his behavior was scary, but not Boruto. He accepted him as he was.

And it was by observing his friend that Mitsuki discovered how Boruto felt for Sarada. He saw how he looked at her when he thought no one was seeing him. The smile that lit up his face when Sarada spoke to him. The flush in his cheeks as she turned her attention to him. The confidence he had in her. With just one look, she and Boruto were communicating and they made a great team. Besides, at this moment, Mitsuki saw the loving gaze Boruto had. And when Sarada looked up at him, he looked away and blushed. Mitsuki could not help smiling.

'Why are you smiling like that ?' Boruto asked.

'It's nothing. I was just wondering when are you going to tell Sarada how you fell.'

Boruto blushed a little more.

'What are you talking about ? Help me with the fire.'

What Boruto had not noticed was the same loving gaze Sarada had. Mitsuki hoped that soon they would confess their feelings. They were the two most important people in his life and Mitsuki wanted them to be happy. And if he had to, it would be there to help them confess their feelings.
