the note

boruto uzumaki x sarada uchiha

prompt:

summary: "Sarada, you dropped this!" Sasuke called as Sarada closed the front door. Realizing she was gone, he sighed and flipped the little piece of paper over.

"Can't wait for tomorrow ;) -B" It read.

rating: T for themes and language, but even that is a reach tbh.

words: 1952

notes: they are 18 here. thank you to @thatcatangelwriter and @konoha--files for your prompts! this ended up being a LOT longer than I anticipated. Hope it's decent! lol.

Sarada was furiously picking through the clean laundry basket that sat on the couch, finding a pink t-shirt (How did that get in there?) and a pair of shorts to wear as pajamas as Sasuke slowly sipped from his mug, a stark contrast in energies in the Uchiha home.

"Why the rush?" Sasuke asked, sitting at the table, still milking that mug of coffee as if his life depended on it.

"I'm not in a rush, I'm just excited to see her. She's been on a mission since last week," Sarada replied, carefully folding the clothes she put in her bag despite her haste.

"Sure seems like a rush," Sasuke mumbled. Sakura spoke over the sound of her knife chopping vegetables. "When will you be home?"

"Sometime tomorrow. I have to leave ChoCho's mid-morning anyway because I promised Boruto I'd train at noon."

"Okay, sounds good honey," Sakura replied. When she looked up, Sarada had already picked up her bag from where it sat in the living room and was putting on her shoes.

"Bye Mama, Papa! Love you!"

"Be careful!" Sakura yelled after her. As she turned to leave, Sasuke noticed a piece of paper had fallen from her bag to the floor next to the table where he sat.

"Sarada, you dropped this!" he called as the front door closed. Realizing she was gone, he sighed and turned the paper over.

"Can't wait for tomorrow ;) -B", it read.

It took everything in Sasuke at that moment not to burn their house down.

"What is it, Anata?" Sakura asked, sensing her husband's sudden rage.

He stood up and put the paper on the counter so Sakura could see it.

"He's going to wish he'd never been born."

Sakura sighed. "Sarada would be extremely upset if you killed him. So would Naruto."

"I make no promises," Sasuke replied, taking the paper back and sitting at the table again, finishing his now cold coffee in two swigs.

"Do your parents think you're at ChoCho's again?" Boruto asked, comfortably under the covers while Sarada, dressed only in his pink shirt, was curled up at his side. The last of the sunrise was peeking through Boruto's curtains, painting them orange-yellow.

"Yeah," She replied softly. "I don't like lying to them, but until you grow some balls and tell my dad I guess I'm going to have to," She teased, poking his side.

"Hey now, last night you weren't complaining about my-" He was brutally cut off with another poke to his side, this one more like a jab.

"Ow, damn it! And why do I have to tell him anyway?"

"Because it's the gentleman-like thing to do," Sarada replied. "I know for a fact your mother taught you how to be a gentleman, you just choose to be annoying."

"You're literally lecturing me while half-naked in my bed and you choose to call me annoying?"

"Whatever," Sarada pushed him away and sat up. "I'm putting on real clothes. We have training."

"Ugh, don't even talk about that."

Sarada had just finished putting on her mission gear when there was a knock on the door. She froze where she stood.

"Yeah?" Boruto called.

"Hey, uh," Naruto said on the other side of the door, clearly uncomfortable. "Just so you know, I know Sarada is with you,"

Sarada's eyes went wide as they locked onto Boruto's across the room, their expression identical.

"Not because I heard anything, dattebayo! Just uh, Sasuke dropped by and wanted me to let you guys know that only Boruto is to report to the training grounds. Sarada, you can go home whenever you like."

Boruto's face changed colors until he was ghost white, and he put a hand to his forehead. "Just...come in, Dad."

Sarada was sitting at his desk chair now, tapping her bare feet on his floor. It looked fairly innocent.

Naruto hesitantly opened the door. "Just didn't want to see anything I shouldn't!"

"DAD!"

"Sorry!" He closed the door behind him and faced the two teenagers, Boruto's face painted with panic and Sarada's in terrified comprehension, trying to figure out how the hell her father could have figured out she wasn't at ChoCho's last night.

"Guys, I don't give a damn if you stay here. I don't give a damn what you do as long as you're responsible about it. You are being responsible, right?"

"OH MY GOD, DAD!" Boruto pulled the covers up to his eyes so all that could be seen was the top of his head. Sarada didn't move, just mumbled a "Yes, sir".

"Okay, great. I'm happy for you guys, whatever is going on here. Sasuke probably won't be as happy at first, but he'll come around, I'm sure!" Naruto still had his hand on the doorknob. "Just, uh, good luck today, Bolt."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Boruto whined, his face still buried in his comforter.

Naruto didn't give him an answer, just escaped the uncomfortable situation as fast as he could.

Boruto lifted his face from his sheets and looked at Sarada, who still looked panicked.

"I'm going to die today, aren't I?"

Boruto approached the training ground fifteen minutes early, determined to try to get back on Sasuke's good side.

"How the hell am I getting back on his good side after he basically just found out I'm doing his daughter?"

He stood there deep in thought until he heard the familiar sound of a sword being unsheathed and swung.

Boruto dodged just in time, holding a kunai to counterattack.

Sasuke, one visible eye glowing crimson, stepped forward as Boruto stepped back, still holding the kunai.

"You have two options, tell me the truth, the whole truth, or you will be sleeping in the hospital tonight," he said, his voice surprisingly level despite the intensity of his gaze. Still holding his sword, he shoved the piece of paper with Boruto's note on it into his chest as if it was a pile of dog shit.

"Okay, okay!" Boruto started, still falling back. He looked down at the note, now in his hand.

Damnit.

Still walking backward as Sasuke advanced, he let the note fall to the ground, cursing his own stupidity. Why'd he even initial it in the first place?

He wasn't usually one to back out of a fight with his sensei, but this was a death wish. "I'm in love with her! I've always been in love with her!"

Sasuke stopped suddenly, and even Boruto couldn't believe what came out of his mouth. Sure, that's how he felt, but he's never told anyone that before. Not even Sarada knew that.

"I..I just want to protect her," He continued, hoping to use Sasuke's shock to his advantage. "I promised her a long time ago that I would protect her and that hasn't changed. Our... relations are new, but I have never and would never take advantage of her!"

"Jesus, Boruto," Sasuke sighed.

"You wanted the whole truth!"

"Watch your mouth. I"m not messing around today."

"I know, and neither am I!" Boruto replied quickly. He sighed and dropped his kunai.

"I should have told you when it started. I'll admit I was scared. She didn't want to lie to you, she wanted me to tell you so she didn't have to lie. I chickened out, and I'm sorry."

"Why did she insist on you telling me?"

"Because it's my responsibility to come to you and get your blessing. Hell, you're my sensei. It's even more important that I'm the one to do it."

Sasuke put his sword back in its sheath. "She's right about that," he started. "I'm equally pissed at both of you. She's no longer a child, and I'd rather you date her than any of those knucklehead jounin that she complains to Sakura about."

"Wait, what?"

"Shut up and listen or I swear to God..." Sasuke started, his hand already nearing the handle of his sword again.

Boruto swallowed hard, still standing there like a child who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"You have my blessing, and I will tell Sarada the same thing. However, you both will stop lying to me. Understood?"

"Yes, sensei."

Sasuke sighed and turned around. "If we train today, I will probably kill you. We will have today's session tomorrow. I suggest you leave before I change my mind."

And Boruto ran, a grin slowly appearing over his face.

He ran until he found her, walking along the market district. He stopped running and tried and failed to casually walk up to her while out of breath.

”How did it go with your mom?” He asked her.

She jumped to the side a little, not expecting him to be standing there.

”Geez, you scared me. It was fine. She just gave me a speech on not lying and I should have just told them and they are still supportive no matter what but that wasn’t right of me. All that. I knew it all already.”

Boruto nudged her shoulder while they walked, looking at various fruit stands, coffee shops and clothing stores. ”I’m sorry you have to deal with this now. I should have just told your dad when all this started.”

”You’re not the only one who lied. I appreciate it, though. Speaking of my dad, you went to see him, right?”

Boruto glanced down at the mud on his pants. “Yeah, I did.”

"Well, you're not dead, so that already went better than expected," She said after she turned her head to look at him, and then looked back at the boutique window to the right of them. "What did you tell him?"

Boruto took a breath. "That I'm in love with you."

The way she turned her head and stopped in her tracks, he was surprised she didn't get whiplash.

"What did you just say?"

Boruto grabbed her hand. "I'm in love with you, and that's exactly what I told your dad."

"You...you love me?" Sarada asked, her hand small in his.

"Always have, always will," Boruto said with confidence as he smiled.

"That's a pretty bold statement," she replied softly, staring down at their hands together.

"I also told him we were having relations, but that's beside the point."

Sarada's face turned a bright shade of red as she instinctively squeezed Boruto's hand way too tight. "You said what?"

Boruto winced and tried to wiggle his hand out of her iron grip. "Never mind, you're kinda in for it because you lied too, but he gave us his blessing at least!"

”Okay, I understand that, but how do you tell my dad you’re in love with me before you even tell ME you’re in love with me?”

”Sarada, my hand is going numb.”

“You are so incredibly lucky I love you too, idiot,” she said, still squeezing his hand.

”Yes I am an idiot, will you please let me go now?”

Sarada relaxed her hand, and Boruto took his back from her, shaking it to try to get the feeling to return to it. "Now I'm even more curious. What else did you say to him? Because there's no way you only said that and he gave us his blessing.”

Boruto looked up from trying to regain the feeling in his hand to Sarada, cheeks still flushed pink. She was so beautiful. He really was an idiot, for not telling Sasuke and for waiting so long to finally have this. He took her hand, pulling her and encouraging her to walk forward.

He put her hand on the underside of his elbow as they started to walk together. "Maybe I'll tell you another time,” he told her with a smirk.

This will probably go through revisions as I reread it and cringe, but here's the beta version for now!

Thanks for reading!
