Konoha academy- Teacher's room - Evening
Boruto and Sumire worked together for many hours until they were almost finished with the work for the day.
"I think we're done for today", Sumire said.
"Yeah, the only things left to do is to wait for the other to report us about their situation", Boruto said back.
"We're back", said two girls entering the room.
"Oh Chocho and Wasabi, you found some cooks helping us?", Sumire asked.
"Well we got one but I think we probably need another one", Wasabi said.
"He also want us to work for him in the restaurant for a couple of hours as a payment", Chocho told them. "So we're out to help you for the preperations tomorrow".
"Not a problem for us", Sumire said to them. "There may be a problem about the location though".
"Shikadai and Iwabe told us they found an empty hall near the Hokage monument", Wasabi said. "They're still talking about the owner about renting it".
"That's good. I think we're done with everything tomorrow", Boruto said. "For the last cook, the cook in the ramen shop my father goes every day could help us. I'll ask my father if he can convince him to work during the feast".
"I am sure Lord Hokage won't dissapoint us", Sumire said smiling at Boruto.
"Y-Yeah. I hope so".
"We're going home now", said Chocho and Wasabi.
With that both of the girls left the room and left Sumire and Boruto alone once again.
"Sarada and Inojin send us some concept arts about the flyers. We only need to write the event information on them and we can start distribute them", Boruto told Sumire.
"Yes, I saw them earlier. They look great. Namida and Denki told me that their fathers are okay about giving us some of their products. But they still need the delivery adress", Sumire said.
"So we have to wait for Iwabe and Denki then. Let's stop for today then", Boruto told her.
"Yeah, I am also pretty tired", Sumire said. "S-So what you've planed for today evening?"
Sumire blushed a bit when asking the question. Boruto noticed it and became a bit nervous.
"N-Nothing important", Boruto answered her. "And you?".
"I didn't planned anything. I've thought we would spend the whole day on the organization".
"O-Okay. So...would you go out drinking some hot chocolate with me?", Boruto asked.
"I would like too", Sumire said to him smiling.
"Great! Let's go!", Boruto said to her.
Boruto ran out of the room pulling her by the hand which makes her blush.
O
Konoha downtown
Boruto and Sumire went to coffee shop which opened just a few days ago. The store was adorned with a lot of christmas stuff.
"I heard this shop has the best hot chocolate you can drink in the whole village", Boruto said.
"That sounds nice. I am obsessed of sweet food and drinks", Sumire said to Boruto.
They ordered two cups of hot molten chocholate and went to the next free table. They sat down and started drinking.
"You like it Sumire?", Boruto asked.
"Yes, that's the most delicious cup hot chocolate I've ever tried".
"I am glad that you like it".
"Thank you for inviting me", Sumire said to him.
"No problem. I like to hang out with my friends", Boruto said to him.
"Friends...", Sumire said. "They're important to your life I am right?".
"Of course. I am nothing without my friends you know?".
"Sure...but what about those people in your life which are even more important to you than your friends?", Sumire asked.
"You mean my family?", Boruto stuttered.
"Y-Yeah...", Sumire said, dissapointed. 'Oh Boruto-kun...why are you so oblivious?'
'Is she trying to flirt with me. I think I am not ready for those kind of relationships', Boruto thought.
"Yes my family is very important to me. I would protect them against everyone hurting them", Boruto said.
"Is there someone in your life besides your family which is as important as them?", Sumire asked.
"W-What do you mean?", Boruto asked.
"Well do you have a girl you want to spend the rest of your life with?", Sumire asked shyly.
"W-What", Boruto said stutterng
"E-Ehhhh forget that!", Sumire quickly said back and stood up.
"I-I think I should go home. I n-need to get up soon tomorrow", Sumire said in an embarassed tone and rushed out of the store.
"H-Hey! Wait Sumire", Boruto shouted but it was to late.
Sumire ran away in total embarassment.
'What I've done? I thought I was able to finally ask him but I totally rushed it'
Boruto also left the store. Sumire was already out of sight for him.
'W-What was that? Does she like me like that?'
O
The next day 12 P.M - Konoha academy
It was once again midday and the kids were once again waiting for Boruto to arrive.
"It's getting so annoying with him", Sarada said. "I'll have to teach him a lesson".
"What a drag", Shikadai murmered. "I think we should start working without him".
"Yeah let's go in", Inojin told them.
'I hope he won't talk with me about what happened yesterday when we work together today', Sumire thought.
They were all entering the building but Sumire noticed that Sarada was still standing on the same spot. Sumire returned to her.
"Why you don't come in?", Sumire said to her.
"Someone needs to stay before the building so he won't think that nobody is here today", Sarada said to her.
Sumire looked at her and thought about Boruto and her drinking a cup of hot chocolate together and what she asked him.
"Sarada, can I ask you something?", Sumire said.
"Uhm...yes you can", Sarada said back suprised.
Sumire closed her eyes before she started talking.
"D-Do you think Boruto-kun w-would l-like me?", Sumire asked.
"Of course he likes you. Before you returned to school back then he was super worried about you", Sarada answered.
"R-Really? B-But I mean something d-different", Sumire told her.
"Different?", Sarada said.
"Y-Yeah, I-I mean l-liking me m-more than a f-friend", Sumire said.
Sarada began to laugh, now understanding the meaning of the question.
"Oh class rep, you mean if he loves you? You have a crush on him or?", Sarada giggled.
"SARADA PLEASE STOP", Sumire told her ashamed.
"Chill class rep, I won't tell anyone. But now I can help you with that little problem because I think you're not ready to ask him out".
"Well Boruto-kun did it yesterday. We were drinking some hot chocolate after the work together and...well...", started Sumire.
"What? You asked him about if he loves someone right?", Sarada said.
"N-Not directly!", Sumire told her.
...
"Heeeey could Sumire come in helping me out with the organization of the games?", Namida shouted out from the window of the building. Sumire and Sarada looked up to her.
"Well let's continue our little discussion later", Sarada said.
"Y-Yeah", said Sumire as she now entered the building.
O
20 minutes later:
'I am once again to late!', Boruto thought as he approached the academy building.
He saw Sarada standing in front of it, waiting for someone.
"S-Sarada? Where's anybody?", Boruto shouted.
Sarada rushed towards him with an evil face.
"YOU'RE LATE!", shouted Sarada and punched him in the face.
"WAAAAAA", Boruto screamed as he was punched down to the ground.
"Every day you're to late! Everybody is sick of it", Sarada told him.
"O-Ouuuch", Boruto said as he stood up. "Sorry but was that really necessary. You make me sick", Boruto said to her.
"I have to teach you a lesson. I'll punch you even harder next time ok?", Sarada shouted to him with a fearable face.
"O-Okey", Boruto stuttered.
They went in and Boruto thought about Sumire awaiting him in the teacher's room. He was worried about how she rushed out of the store yesterday without even saying goodbye.
"Sarada I think Sumire likes me", he said to her.
"E-Eh? What?", Sarada said.
"It seems like she likes me. She hinted it yesterday when we were out drinking something together, asking me if there's someone as or even more important to my life than my family".
"Maybe...", Sarada said to her. "You should ask her out then".
"I-I think I am not exactly ready for those kind of romantic relationships Sarada", Boruto said.
"You also like her or not?", Sarada asked.
"Y-Yes", Boruto told her.
"What are you waiting for then? You said she seems to like you and you also said you like her back. You can't mess up asking her out about her feelings", Sarada told him.
They were almost reaching their destination, only a couple of metres away from the door.
"Ask her out now or I'll say her you like her on my own", Sarada said to him, them now standing in front of the door.
"No Sarada!", Boruto blushed.
"You have the choice", Sarada said.
They entered the teachers office and saw Sumire and Inojin working on something.
"We're here", Sarada said.
"Sorry for me coming to late again. Overslept once again", Boruto said.
"B-Boruto-kun? We were worried about you", Sumire started talking.
"Said it that he overslept once again", Inojin told them.
"Sorry Sumire", Boruto said in a shy tone.
"I-It's okay", Sumire said. "So I've spoke with Shikadai and Iwabe and they got the location".
"That's great!", Boruto said with a smiling face.
"Y-Yeah", Sumire said. "We're almost done. We can now submit the adress of the location to the toy companies and the cooks and print them on the flyers".
"So we can finish the organization tonight right?", Sarada asked.
"Yes. Iwabe and Shikadai and some grown ups are going to build everything up for us there so our work is done soon", Sumire answered.
"Great to hear that", Inojin said. "Let's finish our work now Sarada".
"You're right. Let's go", Sarada said.
She and Inojin were about to leave the room but before Sarada does that, she spoke to Sumire and Boruto a last time.
"Sumire, there's something Boruto wants to tell you in private", she said.
"HWAAA?", Sumire stuttered.
"Hihihi", Sarada giggles as she left the room, giving her a thumbs up.
'Oh god...You're going to pay for that Sarada', Boruto thought.
"Boruto-kun? What did she mean by this?", Sumire asked.
...
"Sumire, I need to ask you something. Why did you rushed out of the coffee shop yesterday? It wasn't even late into the evening. I think that was really weird", Boruto asked.
"W-Well...I I was not really expecting to go out with a friend like you, especially a boy you know?", Sumire told him.
"That's not an excuse to leave someone alone like that", Boruto said to her.
"Yes, I am very sorry Boruto-kun...", Sumire said to him with a sad face.
"So...you want to do it again?", Boruto asked her.
"Again?", Sumire stuttered.
"Yes but this time we won't go out drinking something but we're attending the christmas party as...a pair", Boruto suggested.
"A pair!?"
"No no not like a couple but as really close friends", Boruto stuttered.
"O-Okay", Sumire said. 'Please consider this as a date Boruto-kun. That would make me happy'
"I am looking forward to it", Boruto said. "But first we need to finish our work".
"You're right Boruto-kun".
O
Evening 7 P.M
"We're finally here", said Wasabi and Chocho as they entered the room. "We've caused some problems for the chef so we had to clean the kitchen for him"
"Sounds like the work was really hard for you", Boruto said to them.
"Yes, that was the last time I am going to help you out. I wasn't even able to taste those delicious looking cupcakes!", Chocho blamed.
"So we're done with everything?", Shikadai said to all the kids which were now all in the teachers room.
"Yes, I've contacted Shino-sensei and he's checking if everything is fine with our planning", Sumire said.
"That's good. I am pretty tired now. I'm going home sleeping", Shikadai said.
"We're going to buy some christmas decoration", Wasabi and Namida said before they left.
"I promised my mom and dad to help them out today in the kitchen", Inojin said, also leaving
"I don't want to be in a kitchen ever again. I am going to go to the next all you can eat store. You're in Sarada?", Chocho asked.
Sarada turned over and looked to Sumire.
"Yes Chocho I am hungry as well", Sarada said before she winked at her leaving a blush on Sumire's face.
"Well then lets go now", Chocho said.
All the kids except Boruto, Sumire, Denki and Iwabe left the room. The latter one approached Boruto now.
"Me and Denki are going to the cinema tonight watching the new Kagemasa movie. You want to come with us?", Iwabe asked him.
Boruto turned over to Sumire, who looked at him with a neutral expression.
"No guys, I've something to do", Boruto told them. "I promised my sister to play with her today evening, so I am out".
"Well too bad, see you tomorrow then", Iwabe said to him before he and Denki left them alone.
Sumire approached Boruto from behind and started talking.
"Boruto-kun...", Sumire murmered.
"I am bringing you home", Boruto said to her. "I want to spend some time with you", Boruto said to her.
"S-So you've lied them? Why?", Sumire said suprised.
"I already told you. I want to spend time with you. I was hanging out with Iwabe, Denki, Shikadai and the others the whole time so I think it's your turn now", Boruto grinned at her making her blush.
"B-Boruto-kun...Thank you", she said.
"Let's go", Boruto said to her.
They've walked out of the academy and noticed that it began to snow.
"It's very cold right now", Sumire said to Boruto.
"Don't worry, I am helping you", said Boruto as he took of his jacket and gave it to Sumire.
"T-Thank you Boruto-kun, but now you're freezing", Sumire said to him.
"I don't care. I just want you to feel warm and good", Boruto told her.
They walked some minutes before they arrived at Sumire's apartment. It was an old building without any christmas decoration on it.
"S-See you tomorrow then", Boruto said to her.
"Maybe you want to come in?", Sumire suggested.
"No I really promised my sister to play with her. It wasn't a lie at all", he answered her.
"Oh I see...", Sumire said.
"G-Good night Sumire", Boruto said and turned around, ready to walk. But then Sumire rushed towards him from behind and hugged him.
"Thank you for bringing me home Boruto-kun, and for everything else you did for me", she said.
"N-No problem", Boruto said to her, her not seeing the immense blush on his face.
She stopped hugging him and went back, while looking at him.
"I am excited to see you when the christmas party starts", Sumire said.
"Me too"
With that Boruto walked away. Sumire looked at him.
'I really love you Boruto-kun'

Epilogue
The christmas party started two days before christmas. Many parents with their childs were visiting the academy to participate in it. All the students who helped with the organization were there with their parents. Before the party started, Shino began to talk to all people in the room.
"Welcome parents and childs for this years academy feast in our school. Christmas is just in front of us and thanks to our students, who helped us organizing today's event, we're promising you a great time this evening. But before we start, let's hear the welcome speech of our current Hokage Lord Seventh!".
Everybody applauded when Naruto entered the room except for Boruto, who's eyes are looking for Sumire.
'I don't care for dads speeches. Where's Sumire?'
"Boruto-kun...", said someone behind him.
He turned around and saw the most beautiful thing in his life.
"S-Sumire...", Boruto stuttered.
Sumire was dressed in a purple dress with her hair unbraided. She was looking absolutely stunning.
"What is Boruto-kun?", Sumire asked.
"N-Nothing. Y-You look incredible", Boruto stuttered
"T-Thank you. I am glad you like it", she says.
The people were once again applauding. Both of them turned around to see Lord Seventh walking down the podest.
"My father's finally finished. So what do you want to do first?", Boruto asked.
"I-I would like to dance with you", Sumire asked shyly
"Onii-chan, who is that?", said a girl approaching them.
"Ohhh Himawari, that's a good friend of mine. Could you leave us alone for now?", Boruto said.
"Okay Onii-chan, mommy, daddy and me are going to the buffet now", Himawari said to him.
"Thank you", Boruto said as she left them.
"Let's go Sumire", he said to her and they moved to the dance area, where the kids are already there.
Inojin danced with Namida, Denki with Wasabi, Shikadai, Mitsuki and Iwabe were standing outside of the dance area while Metal and Sarada danced alone. Chocho wasn't there but was enjoying the buffet not that far away. Sarada noticed and approached them.
"Good evening Sumire and Boruto", said Sarada as she was approaching them.
"Good evening Sarada", Sumire said.
"Yeah hi Sarada", Boruto said.
"So I see you're getting along together pretty good", Sarada said to them.
"Yes it seems so", Sumire blushed.
"...", Boruto said nothing to her.
"Well have fun and let's dance", Sarada said to them before she walked away, once again winking at Sumire.
Boruto showed her his hand, asking her for the dance.
"Boruto-kun...", Sumire said, as she remembered when he saved her and also offered her his hand when the Nue dimension collapsed.
"Come one Sumire. Let's start", Boruto said to her, grinning.
Her heart beat faster and faster, but she managed to lay her hand on his, before he pulled her up more closely to him.
They started dancing to the slow, peaceful music they heard. It seemed like the perfect night for both of them.
"Sumire, I am glad that you asked me out to help out for this event. I never imagined to have so much fun with you and you really became one of the most important person in my life", Boruto started
"H-How important?", Sumire stuttered.
"This important".
Boruto leaned to her and pressed his lips onto hers. Her heart felt like it would explode and she closed her eyes, simply enjoying their first kiss together. Boruto felt the same and wrapped his arms around her body. Sumire just did the same at the same moment. The moment felt magical to both of them and it seems like that moment lasted forever.
"Boruto-kun, I love you", Sumire confessed.
"I love you too Sumire", Boruto also did.
After the kiss, they continued dancing slowly together again. They smiled to each other the whole time.
"Sumire I need to ask you something...", Boruto started.
"Yes my love?", Sumire asked back.
"Would you like to celebrate christmas with me and my family during the holidays?"
...
That's the end of the story. As you probably noticed the end was a bit open ended, but I did it intentionally because for a simple reason: I'll make a sequel to this. It will be a bit shorter and probably an one-shot story, but I promise you will like it. It will come out either on the first or second christmas day. Before that I'll release another chapter of my main story "My path towards a better future", which isn't related to this story in any way (somebody asked it).
I hope you enjoyed this little story and I would like to see some comments. Also happy Christmas to you all already.
Until next time.
