Sorry this is so late guys! But anyways, here's a new chapter. This story is mainly about Bolt and Sarada and their families, but if you'd like to see a new chapter dedicated to some other character, please feel free to request!
This morning was unusually peaceful for Bolt – he woke up in his bed, he didn't have a headache or a bad hangover, there wasn't a stranger sleeping next to him, everything was.. alright; which immediately made it boring. Lately the boy hasn't been attending many parties. He couldn't even explain why – he just didn't feel like it. Inojin and Shikadai were even beginning to tease him about it, but Bolt just brushed it off. Even though everything seemed to be fine, Bolt felt like.. he was missing something. Something was bugging him.. hard. And it made the boy frustrated.
He couldn't stand the usual family breakfast, which usually consisted of his missing father, his mother who was smiling, pretending that Naruto's absence on the table wasn't bothering her and Himawari who looked as perfect and innocent as always, as if she hadn't spend the whole night god knows where. The whole situation was so.. annoying.
"Where's dad?" Bolt asked casually as he was chewing on his toast. Hinata, taken aback by the question, nervously walked around the room, tidying random stuff which didn't even need tidying in the first place – this woman needed to go out more often, she'd go crazy if she continued doing that bullshit. "Ah, your father? He had to leave early, you know he has a lot of work to do since.." "Since he's the Hokage, yeah, yeah.. Whatever." Interrupted her Bolt, finishing his mother's sentence for her. "He didn't even come home last night, did he?" Even Himawari seemed to be surprised by Bolt this morning. She frowned at his direction, probably wondering why he was trying to start shit, but the boy ignored it. Hinata pressed her lips together tightly and left the room without saying a word. Oops. Well, she shouldn't have pretended that everything was alright when it's obviously not!
When he arrived at school, Bolt went to sit on his usual place next to Inojin, but today for some reason it was taken by Chocho. They seemed to be enjoying each other's presence, perhaps a bit too much.. what the hell, when did this happen? "Aye, love birds, can y'all do this shit somewhere else? I sit here." Bolt complained, only to have Chocho and Inojin giggle.. you know this annoying giggle that people who are in love make at things that aren't even funny, they're just too goddamn excited with their disgusting lovey-dovey feelings. "You could sit on my place?" Chocho offered as Inojin put his hand around her, pulling her into something like a hug. "Oh, man, don't make me sit next to Sarada!" Bolt complained once again. He did have enough of this girl's blabbering yesterday and it was more than enough. "Hmm, you might not have this problem, she still hasn't showed up. Ya know, she's never late!" Chocho commented and Bolt turned around to see the girls' empty desk – it was true.. Sarada has never missed a day or been late, now that he thought about it. What was going on?
The classes finally ended. Bolt didn't pay much attention because his mind was preoccupied – he was still curious why Sarada didn't come today. She seemed fine yesterday.. except for the fact that she spent the night on the bench in front of his house, but, oh well.. When Chocho suggested the both of them check on the girl, Bolt hesitated for a second but he agreed in the end. He was still curious, after all.
Finally, the two arrived in front of the Uchiha house. It was smaller than Bolt's, it was still nice but.. it seemed somehow.. abandoned? Like nobody was trying to take care of it or anything – there weren't any flowers in the garden and the grass was growing too big. "Have you even been there?" Bolt asked as he put his hands in his pockets, looking around the yard as the two waited for someone to answer the door. "Hmm, now that I think about it, no. Sarada has never invited me or anyone at her place. We usually go at my house.. I wonder why." The girl mumbled thoughtfully. Bolt knocked on the door a few more times, this time more impatiently. Finally, he heard a sound of unlocking, only to find his own father standing there. Bolt was truly shocked.. what the hell was his father doing at the Uchiha house? Wasn't he supposed to do his Hokage duties and other shit? "Dad.. What the fuck are you doing here?" Bolt questioned, suddenly feeling anger and confusion take over him. Naruto's blonde hair was a mess, his clothes weren't even put on properly and he seemed to be out of breath. The man scratched the behind of his head as he tried to think of a way to deal with his angry son. "Oh, Bolt.. Ya know, Sakura-chan wasn't feeling well so I had to check up on her and.." Naruto couldn't even finish his sentence before he was interrupted by Bolt. "Check up on her? Yeah, I can see that. Maybe that's the only thing you're good at! Do your Hokage duties involve shagging women behind mum's back, huh?" the younger boy yelled, clenching his fists. He couldn't even stand here anymore, so he turned around and started walking away angrily, followed by a worried and confused Chocho. "Oi, don't you dare speak to me like that! Sakura-chan's my friend and I would never do anything behind Hinata's back! Bolt, come back here!"
He just ignored his father's shouts. Bolt was way too confused to do anything else. "Bolt? What's happening? Are you.. are you alright?" a worried Chocho asked him repeatedly, trying to catch up with the boy. "I'm fine, Chocho. Just leave me alone, please." He mumbled, trying not to take his anger out on her. He knew that Chocho had nothing to do with this and was just trying to help. The Akimichi just nodded and left him with an unsure look on her face.
Could it be real? His dad and.. that Sakura woman. Sakura-chan, he called her.. Oh god, why was everything so fucked up? What was Bolt supposed to believe anymore?
