She took off his glasses and left them on his table.
She coughed a little
- Maybe I should drink some water
She goes down the stairs being careful not to make noise, he didn’t want to wake up his parents.
What a surprise it would be
A faint noise of voices talking was heard in the patio of his house.
- What was that? - she whispered.
She approached the edge of the door with slow steps and spied on them.
- Dad and Boruto, what the hell are you doing?
The blonde looked at the man strangely.
- Uncle Sasuke, why did you call me so late? - He complained.
- I wanted to talk - he paused and cooled his voice - with you.
- I-I understand, it must be very important - he swallow saliva.
- Of course
- What the fuck did I do now!? Are you angry that I was late for training? It was only one time damn it! - thought the blonde
- Boruto - the guy trembled
- I want you to answer me honestly. From man to man – he sigh and look at the blonde - How do you feel about my daughter?
The Uzumaki was left speechless, his cheeks unintentionally heating up.
- WHATTTT!? - The youngest shouted, being quickly silenced by the Uchiha.
- WHAT THE FUCK!? - The Uchiha thought blushing.
- Don’t make noise, idiot. It’s early morning
- I-I’m sorry, I - he interrupted him.
- Reply
- W-What?
- You answer and I want you to be honest - I look at him coldly - Because I will realize if you lie to me
- B-Good for Sarada, well, great love, I’ve known her almost all my life. He is a very important person for me and. . and that - He scratched his neck nervously and looked away.
Sarada on the other hand didn’t know where to go.
I was dying of shame, but I wanted to keep listening.
- I already know that, silly, I think you’re old enough to know what I’m talking about - sigh - I’ll be more direct - he narrow my eyes - Do you like my daughter?
Shit, why the fuck are you asking me that? Yes, I like Sarada a lot, but if I tell him he will kill me. What if I say no? I’m afraid - The blonde thought
- Boruto answers - W-Well, eh - He scratches the back of his neck - I, I love her very much - He looked away - Y-Yes, I love her very much, you know
Sasuke analyzed it in silence, perhaps too much because
Boruto was sweating cold. After a few minutes he sat in one of the armchairs in his garden, he looked at the young man and invited him to do the same
- Hmp, that’s good - Boruto looked at him strangely. - You know Boruto, I - he remain silent - throughout my life I did things that I regret. One of them is to hurt the people I love the most - he look at his hands - Another is not accepting Sakura’s love in time - he look at the Uzumaki - I think you already know that story, I’m sure your father told it to you. Sarada knows it too - he looked at the sky - It was a bit complicated asking him to understand my situation - Boruto interrupted him
- Sensei, yes, my father told me and - he laughed - I also remember when Sarada looked for me to tell me. She was crying and very unstable – he looked away - On the one hand, I understand her, they are her parents and it is a complicated situation - he looked at the Uchiha - We talked about it for a long time, she was – he thought a little - I don’t know whether to say upset or sad, maybe disappointed. There were a lot of emotions - Sasuke paid attention to the blonde - But I think I made her laugh enough for it to go away - the blonde smiled and for a moment he saw the serious Uchiha with a sly smile.
- Hmp, that’s what I mean, I never understood, but I remember the time we argued and Sarada walked out the door very angry - sigh - That night I felt like shit, the worst father in the world, the worst husband, a scum - He remembered moments from his youth - But, the next day - He smiled sideways - She came in and the first thing she did was hug me, she apologized and told me that he understood me. I was very confused, I didn’t understand that change in attitude, but I was happy and that’s what mattered. Some time later I found out that the first person he saw was you. That confused me more, how is it possible that Naruto’s stupid son changed his mood so much? At that time I was not aware of how important you were to Sarada,, how important you are in her life - he put his hand on the young man’s man. - I don’t think I ever thanked you for always being there for Sarada, thank you Boruto
Boruto looked at the man in the eyes, he was very surprised by his words.
- It seems that you yourself are not aware of that - the blonde looked away blushing - The point of all this is that I don’t want you to suffer for letting time pass
- W-What?
- Boruto, idiot, am I not clear to you?
The blonde swallowed heavily, it took a while, but he connected the dots in his head.
The Uchiha sighed - I’ll ask you again, Boruto. Do you like my daughter?
The blonde tensed but decided to make his feelings clear.
- Yes, I like Sarada, I like her a lot - He thought it would be easier, but he was out of breath.
The little Uchiha spy felt the blood rush to her head and sat to one side, hid her face between her legs while she thought - That fool, he feels the same way - she smiled like a fool as she got rid of a weight on her heart.
The Uchiha relaxed and looked at the sky - Well, you know you’re as stupid as your father. She always thinks about you, she worries a lot when something happens to you, plus - he remembered the old days when Sakura helped him recover in the hospital - She has the same look as Sakura, the same when she looks at me. Sarada looks at you like that
- Uncle Sasuke - the blonde whispered
- Now that you know, I hope you’re mature enough to keep your promise - The blonde looked at him strangely.
- Huh? Wait, what promise? - He asked strangely
The Uchiha frowned - The one you promised my daughter on Mount Hokage, idiot. Don’t tell me you forgot it?
The blonde shuddered - N-No, never, but how do you know that Sarada told you!? - he asked excitedly
- No
Sarada blinked in confusion - Dad, how does he know that!?
- Then! Are you spying on us? - The blonde felt very nervous
- Hmp, I had to know what kind of crowd my daughter hung out with - he said with disdain.
The Uchiha laughed when he saw the nervous young man. Somehow, he appreciates it.
- Boruto, I want you to know that you are a good boy. I trust you and I know that you will fulfill everything you say, and you will take care of my daughter when I can’t - He put his hand on the young man’s shoulder - Understand?
The blonde smiled, as he always does. That classic smile of determination inherited from his father- Of course uncle Sasuke, I promise you that I will take care of Sarada
The Uchiha smiled calmer, now he was sure that Sarada will never be alone.
- It’s late, go home. Tomorrow, we must train
The blonde stiffened - Hai sensei, see you - on top of the roof and before leaving he looked at the Uchiha - Uncle Sasuke, thank you for trusting me - he smiled one last time before jumping away.
The Uchiha smiled sideways and turned in the direction where his daughter was hiding.
Sarada quickly turned around and covered her mouth - Did he see me?
- Get out of there Sarada - the young Uchiha felt a chill and approached her father with slow steps.
- Dad, I swear I just saw them - he interrupted her.
- You’ve been there for half an hour Sarada - sigh - And how do you feel?
Sarada hid her hands behind her back and looked away. How did you feel?
Happy, obviously, but on the other hand I was afraid
Fear of how to manage her feelings, fear of what her relationship with Boruto will become. Will they be dating? What if it didn’t work? What will happen if they break up and don’t want to see each other anymore?
She has known Boruto all her life, but a relationship is a very important change
The Uchiha breathed and rubbed her eyes.
- I don’t know, I feel happy, but - her father looked at her carefully - It’s difficult, besides now - she laughed - you already found me a boyfriend - she mocked
- I didn’t do it
Sarada looked at him confused - So why did you call Boruto?
- I just wanted to clear up a doubt.
- So now he is going to propose to me, or I must do it. I. . I don’t know what to do - she felt insecure- What if it doesn’t work? I don’t know what I’ll do if he walks away from me - She felt like crying.
- Don’t worry about it, it won’t
- How are you so sure about that?
The Uchiha sighed - I think that fool is very similar to his father, he just doesn’t realize it - he looked at his daughter - Believe me when I tell you that, if an Uzumaki promises something, he will do whatever it takes to keep it.
La girl laughed - Really?
- Yes - he smiled - By this I don’t mean that they will get married tomorrow. I just want you to feel safer than you feel - he put his arm around his daughter’s shoulder.
- Hmp thanks, dad - she leaned on his chest - But then you. . . Do you agree that Boruto is my boyfriend? – She asked embarrassed
The Uchiha looked at her for a moment and then looked away - Sarada, I couldn’t stand to see you with someone who doesn’t deserve you and that idiot really loves you. I’m probably the only person who agrees to be with you.
The young Uchiha smiled and hugged her father - Thank you dad - but then the doubt returned to her - So, now what will we do? we both know what we feel
- Don’t do anything different, keep spending time together, have fun and train. The same as always
- But it will be uncomfortable - she blushed.
- Well, it’s true. But it will only be at the beginning, when they are mature enough, they will both realize
- But how do I know that?
The Uchiha thought a little - What do you think at 40
- Dad! - she frowned amused
- That? I don’t want you and the idiot making out all the time in my house. Why don't they wait, work and move instead?
- Dad! I’m not going to be single all that time - The Uchiha laughed - Besides, we won’t do that in front of you - She blushed.
- Just kidding, but really, I just know that they will both realize it and I think it will be when they least expect it
- I understand - The Uchiha said doubtfully.
- Hmp, I think you should talk to your mother about this, she will know how to answer you - her daughter nodded.
- Dad, since when do you know that I like Boruto? - She asked nervously
- For some years now, you have been more obvious than you think
- Really? - his cheeks became hot
How many more people know about her crush on the blonde?
- Yes, I confirmed it when I heard you dreaming about him - the young woman sweated cold and stood up quickly with a red face.
- W-WHAT!? - I screamed in disbelief.
- Don’t you realize? You talk when you sleep – The young Uchiha began to tremble.
- And, and W-What things do I say? - she looked expectantly at his father
- Hmp, you like Boruto and stuff
- W-What else? - she asked nervously
- How about we go to sleep before I want to kill the little fool? - his cold gaze made her tremble and confirm her suspicions
The Uchiha quickly fled back to her house.
- Y-You’re right dad, good night - the Uchiha followed her while he thought if he had to use his doujutsu on himself again.
- Shit, shit, shit. Dad knows that. What do I fantasize about Boruto? What a fucking shame? Why does this happen to me? - the Uchiha thought as she closed the door to her room and hid in her sheets.
Sasuke changed his sleeping clothes and lay down next to his wife wondering if he did the right thing by calling the Uzumaki.
The movement next to him caught his attention.
- Sasuke, what were you doing so much downstairs - the woman murmured tiredly.
- Sakura, I’m sorry to wake you - he settled next to her and tucked her in carefully.
- No problem - she yawned - I heard someone running in the hallway - she chuckled - She tripped
The Uchiha laughed - I was talking to Sarada.
- That’s good - Haruno commented, showing signs of going back to sleep.
Sasuke looked at his wife and caressed her forehead to leave a soft kiss - I love you Sakura
Haruno laughed and hugged her husband - Me too honey
