Boruto's Love Interest is Mitsuki
So, in the last post, I made it clear why I believe that Mitsuki is in love with Boruto.
However in this post, I will explain why I believe Boruto is receptive to Mitsuki being his romantic partner.
My explanation will span across chapter 7 and 8, and it will compare and contrast them with each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up until this point, Boruto has three confirmed love interests: Sarada, Sumire, and Mitsuki, but he has shown no romantic interest in any of them. Until, maybe now.
I want to start by contrasting Ch.7 with Ch.8.
In Chapter 7, Boruto realizes that Mitsuki has tracked him with a snake. At first, it appears that Boruto sticks around to confront MItsuki because he's far enough away from the village to go ape mode, and also because Mitsuki has closed in on him and now he cannot escape fast enough.
Chapter 7, confirmed that the prior was not the case. Boruto actually scolds Mitsuki for causing excessive environment damage, and Boruto keeps his attacks and skilled and percise as possible. All the while, Boruto fights cautiously in order to ensure that he neither hurts Mitsuki nor destroys the forest.
Chapter 8, confirms that the latter was also not the case. As soon as Boruto learns that Kawaki is coming, he automatically uses flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away. Delta and Kawaki can literally fly, and by the time they reach Boruto's location, Boruto is nowhere to be seen.
Both chapters are paired by the fact that Shikamaru warns Boruto about both Kawaki and Mitsuki pursuing him before they arrive.
Boruto had the option to teleport away in Ch. 7 and not deal with Mitsuki at all, but he (instead) stayed and had a conversation with him. He proved to Mitsuki that he could kill Mitsuki at anytime, but he refused to harm even one hair on Mitsuki's head.
In Boruto's fight with Mitsuki, he has two very prominent opportunities to escape, and he takes neither chance. This is even pointed out by Kishimoto, when Mitsuki asks Boruto why he does not simply escape when he has more than enough ability to do it?
Pair this with him evading Kawaki. When Boruto hears that Kawaki is coming, he doesn't even entertain a conversation with Kawaki.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, let's discuss language.
In Ch.7 Boruto saying something that I've never heard Boruto say before:
He explicitly declares himself to be Mitsuki's Sun.
When Mitsuki exhibits concern with regard to Kawaki, Boruto tells Mitsku not to worry, and that this is a simple quarrel between brothers.
Now, I point this out to say, because a lot of no nuance nellys continue to infer that Boruto and Mitsuki has a fraternal relationship, and THEY DON'T.
The Naruto and Boruto series have never shied away from using words like Brothers, Rivals, and Friends, and all of these words have deep meaning in the world of Naruto and Boruto. They all have symbolic level meaning.
Yet, Boruto never refers to Mitsuki as his brother, and Mitsuki never refers to Boruto as his Brother.
Now, one might say, that maybe neither of them know what it's like to be a brother or to have a brother. To which, I'd say that's absolutely ridiculous because both of them are brothers and have brothers.
Boruto's the brother of Himawari. Boruto's brother is Kawaki.
Mistuki's brother is his older clone: Log.
If Boruto and Mitsuki, had fraternal feelings for one another, I think it would be really obvious to each of them as individuals, since the two of them are both not only children. In fact, they are the only new generation characters in all of Boruto that actually have siblings (aside from their siblings Himawari, Kawaki, and Log of course).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boruto tells Mitsuki that he doesn't need a sun, that he can shine on his own, but he also says if you need a sun then come find me.
In some translations, he says "Come to my place anytime" (oooo sexual).
Anyway, my point is that, if Boruto ends up being as astute as Eida and Sarada in realizing that Mitsuki has romantic feelings for him. Boruto may have just said to Mituski, "Come though and I'll give you what you need *wink, wink*".
Lol, I'm joking but I'm not joking. I don't want to perscribe sexual intention to this so early on.
However, I do think Boruto is saying that if you still feel that you need me in this romantic and relational capacity (once you realize that it's me and not Kawaki), I will be here to receive that, accept that, and be what you need in regard to that to the best of my abilities.
------‐------------------------------------------------------------------
Just the way the story had already played out, I think there's a good chance that the character of Boruto is bisexual.

redesigned some boruto timeskip designs that I thought were wack
small design notes:
I am very tired of Ikemoto's trend of making Sarada look like she should be at the club so I tried to keep the "vibe" of the original timeskip design to show that she doesn't need to look like she makes bank from satisfying old men. She's a strategist! a punchy punchy type girl! give this bitch some gloves and if you want to give her heels so bad you don't need to make them look so slutty!1
I hate Daemon I hate his stupid plot device sister I just wanted to make him actually look like he aged (like idk cyborgs stop aging when they reach around the physical age of 25 cuz that's when our brain cells stop developing) and look less like he says gyatt non ironically. this mf eats sand in the playground because he thinks its funny. I want to punt his ass
Himawari's timeskip deisgn gives me very much y2k fashion ressurgence in the 20's. Like yes I love the crop top and the baggy pants. Do I think it matches Himawari at all? No. I gave her a bolt necklace (she probably made it herself or maybe she found it after Boruto ran away?) cuz she's grieving!! she just lost both her parents and her "older brother" isn't as warm as she remembered! she doesn't have time to look sexy she strikes me as a comfy type girl so that's what I did. Also I hate how her hair looks like in canon like why that shi looking like an axe head
Sumire is a SCIENTIST! PUT THIS BITCH IN A LAB COAT!! GET THAT SCHOOL GIRL SHIT OUTTA HERE!! since part one she's been giving student in a porno about to offer her teacher head to be able to pass the semester and I am NOT reading the Naruto verse to see shit like this
