Hello, my readers! I had this in mind many months ago and the recent episode 127 "Make Out Tactics" really sealed the deal! I had all the scenarios thought out and just needed that one thing that made everyone give him random advice on relationships. This was originally going to be in my fanfiction collection entitled "Emotions" but since it is not canon, I decided against it. I would like to add to that collection but lately episodes of Boruto and Sarada together are far and few in between. I was going to add this as filler but decided that I want that string to stay canon and just open up a new collection of one-shots. So here is my first one! Enjoy!

"Icha Icha Paradise? Why are you two trying to read that?"

"You don't need to read that!" Kiba and Shino said in unison. Kiba took Boruto aside. "Look, Boruto, you're too young for that now. "Opposites attract and you make a perfect pair," as he knows first-hand from his cat-girlfriend, "but wait at least wait a few more years. Trust me, you'll grow taller and all the girls will be all over you. Believe me, all the girls had a crush on me when I grew up." He said proudly pointing his thumb at himself. "I had to turn them all down."

Boruto only gave him a blank, confused stare. "Uh… yeah… sure…" What?

At the same time, Shino was speaking to Sarada. "Think seriously about this Sarada. Don't go rushing into things. The reason is you wouldn't want to do anything you regret later on."

Sarada could only try to make sense of what he was going on about. "Umm, sure Shino-sensei…" Whatever the heck you're talking about.

The next day at the Hokage's office…

"Boruto, I heard you were looking for books that are not appropriate for your age." But just then Naruto recalled reading it at his age. They were boring at the time, but looking back, it must've helped with his love life. Maybe he can read it when he gets older? No, no! "If you're going to do that kind of thing at least make sure you find the right girl. A sweet and beautiful girl, who loves you with all her heart, and will come to your rescue when you're about to die, and…"

"Dad!"

"Oh, right. Sarada's all the above. I approve."

Staring at him in puzzlement, Boruto stood in silence. What the hell is he talking about?

"If she's showing interest in you now, make your move. Don't be an idiot like me."

"Marriage can be a drag, Boruto." Shikamaru intercepted. His face took on a dreamy expression that Boruto has never seen on him before. It was very unlike him. Unbeknownst to Boruto, his mind was full of memories of his history with Temari, from the day they were pitted against each other at the chuunin exams. She was a tough woman, but he wouldn't have it any other way. He thought women should be tender and sweet, and didn't understand why his father allowed himself to be wrapped around his wife's finger. On marrying Temari, he finally understood what his father said. "But when you find the right woman, it's worth it. It's like what my father said. 'No matter how strong-minded a woman is, she will show kindness to the man she loves.' Sarada's a strong, independent girl, just like her mother. So, if you have a tough time with her, remember it comes with the best of times."

"Yes, always speak kindly to women and compliment them, Boruto." Sai advises as he remembered the bad blood between him and Sakura when they first met. Calling her ugly wasn't a good move and would only get him pummeled later. He was socially incompetent those days. In contrast to Sakura, he called Ino 'beautiful' on their first meeting, and now they were happily married. Ino was a loving and dedicated wife and he was a lucky man. It helped that she had a body of a Cadillac. "Never say anything bad to them. And most importantly, show them you love them!" He said with a small but placid smile.

"Uh… yeah… I'll keep that in mind…" Boruto stammered as he backs away. What's with all the unsolicited advice? "Well, I better get to training!" He turned and ran… As he reached the hallway he bumped head first into tall and slender man.

"Hey watch it-"

"Konohamaru-niichan!"

"Boruto! I was just looking for you. I am handing in the report for our last mission. You, Sarada, and Mitsuki did a great job. We don't have a new mission, but I need the day off from training for some… ahem… important meetings."

"You mean a date with Aunt Hanabi?"

"What! No! Not a date… we are discussing… team matters… anyway… Boruto, make sure you stay focused. Women and relationships can get in the way of a mission, especially if she is a teammate. Don't get distracted. I'll see you first thing tomorrow." He finished off and hurriedly walked away.

What's with that…? Ugh anyway, I'm hungry. I should go find something to eat before training. I wonder if Sarada would want to get burgers?

As he walked through town he considered each restaurant passed by and wondered he if maybe he should try something new.

Ah, Ichiraku Ramen would be great too. Does Sarada like ramen?

As he passed by the shop, a large man walked out and a red headed girl followed him.

"Oh, Boruto, what are you up to here?"

"Hello Mr. Choji, just looking for what to eat. Did you just have your monthly eating contest?"

"Darn right. I was about to win." Chocho chimed in. "I'm just 15 bowls from beating the Queen of Gluttony!"

Boruto's face shifted, holding back disbelief and slight repulsion.

"Oh by the way, did you get a chance to read that book?" Chocho inquired a little too excitedly.

"Chocho! None of you had better read that book." He looked seriously at Boruto. "You and Sarada are too young to start now, Boruto." Suddenly Choji remembered why he asked Karui out on a date. She was a beautiful woman with lovely skin color and eyes, and her cooking was unlike anything he's ever eaten. Food seemingly cooked by a goddess from heaven. "However, I've heard that since her father is rarely around, Sarada is independent and cooks for herself. Remember, Boruto, a woman who can cook is a keeper!"

Boruto gave him a blank stare. This again. "Uhh… well I better get on my way to training. See ya!" It might be best to just go straight to the training grounds and avoid any more run-ins with anyone.

On reaching the training grounds, Boruto clasped his hands together and stretched his arms above his head. Ah, peace at last. He walked over to the shuriken target.

A few minutes later he heard a voice behind him. "Ah, Boruto, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, hi Kakashi-san. I thought I might do some training."

"Hmm, strange. As I recall, you were never the type to train on your free time."

"I've been training more since Sarada always wants to. After all, I promised to protect her when she becomes Hokage."

"Ah, yes, that is the best promise to make. Those who don't take care of their friends are trash."

Boruto smirked. He's always going on about this.

"And since Sarada's your girlfriend," Kakashi tried his best to hide the pain from his past memories, "make sure to never put anything before her. Not even the mission." He sulked but tried not to let it show. "Once they're gone you can never get them back…"

Boruto disregarded the last line. "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

Kakashi chuckled. "Well, I am off to do some… reading. Good luck."

Reading? "Wait!"

Kakashi vanished before he could ask to read his book.

Damn. Geez, what's with everyone today? Boruto thought to himself, exasperated as he started throwing shuriken.

"Hey Boruto," said another familiar but sweeter voice behind him. "I see you've gotten started."

"Oh, hey Sarada. You're early."

"I had nothing else to do, so I figured I'll just throw some shuriken until you get here, but it seems you beat me to it." Boruto's stomach growled as she was midsentence. "Umm… are you hungry? I brought some snacks."

"Yeah, I skipped lunch, so…"

"Oh, well no wonder you're hungry." She held up a basket of food.

It was such a beautiful day. Bright and sunny with a few clouds and some breezes. Boruto watched as each cloud slowly passed them by. It was the perfect day to be out eating lunch with his childhood friend. "Wow this is good! Did you make this?! What's in it?"

"Yep, I made them before I left. It's just rice, seaweed and a small piece of grilled eel, salmon or tuna. Typical onigiri stuff." As she spoke Boruto noticed a piece of rice and some sauce were on her lips. He licked his lips as if the sauce was on his own face. This is so good I would lick that sauce right off her face. He never noticed and how her pink lips looked soft and inviting. I wonder how soft her lips are… What am I thinking, no!

Sarada noticed him staring at her and gave him an inquisitive look. Boruto turned beet red as he snapped out of it. "Umm, there's some rice on your lips…" He said nervously as he turned away, hoping she didn't notice how his face changed color. Sarada blushed as well at the mention of her lips.

They trained for a few hours before it started to get dark and Sarada decided to call it in. As they said their goodbyes Boruto noticed how the twilight somehow enhanced her features. Not that she needed enhancing, but the soft glow gave her a delicate look.

Before Sarada turned to leave she noticed how Boruto's blue eyes had a dreamy look as his hair swayed slightly in the wind. He looked like one of those handsome anime heroes that she and Chocho would gush over.

Walking home, Boruto looked up at the night sky. It was darker than normal and the moon was nowhere to be seen. It must be the new moon. That's when he noticed a dark circular void among the stars. That must be where the moon is. The darkness of the new moon reminded him of Sarada's eyes. Enchanting and mysterious.

Suddenly he felt a dark and ominous presence right behind him. He whipped around and saw a pair of jet black eyes, just like hers. "Boruto. I heard what you were trying to do. I expect you to treat my daughter well. But until she grows up…" his face darkened as he brought it ever so close to Boruto's. "…don't go there… or there will be consequences."

Boruto's eyes widened as he gulped. One warning was enough. Don't mess with Sasuke-san…

Later that night at the dinner table, Sasuke decided to have a talk with his precious daughter. "Sarada…"

"Yes, Papa?"

"I heard you and Boruto were looking to read Icha Icha Paradise. At this point, you're too young to read that type of content." He stopped for a moment as he recalled the time he decided to apologize to Sakura and accepted her as his life partner. Since they first met at the age of 6, Sakura confessed her love for him and for over ten years she never gave up on him. She endured everything from treating her coldly, abandoning her and the village, and even attempted to kill her more than once. It was this love and commitment that won him over. "I won't question your choice in boys, but I expect you to choose well. Don't let them take advantage of you. And be sure Boru- I mean, who you choose treats you well."

Sarada could only stare silently at Sasuke. He's being weird again…

After dinner, Sasuke decided to pay Naruto a visit.

"Naruto… I came here for one reason. Tell your son to mind himself. I expect Boruto treat my daughter the best he can. I'll hold you responsible for any mistakes he makes."

Naruto let out a small chuckle. That's so like you. "He's boisterous but I'm sure he can't do anything that stupid."

Sasuke smirked slightly. "He doesn't take too much after you, after all. Usuratonkachi."

He turned to leave and smiled to himself. My daughter always makes the best choices.

So did you like it? This fic, though short, took about 5 hours or so. And it's only my first finished draft! I made sure to make it as good quality as I can. I wanted to post it up as soon as possible so I worked on it instead of doing more important things that I really should be doing. I haven't even had it proofread yet! So I encourage you to leave a review, not just for me but for any writer you like, as these fics take a lot of time and effort.

On another note, I really hate the notion of "Papasuke." It's just so stupid and a lot of writers overdo it. Sasuke becomes livid, cries, and even tries to kill Boruto. Sasuke crying? No. Try to kill Boruto? Over the top. Yeah he might be a little pissy but he's not going to go full-on psychopath. Fanfics of him going nuts are great though. It's also dumb to say he'd do it because he's jealous. Jealous of what exactly?! Someone kissing or making love to his daughter instead of him?! No, just no.
