The afternoon sun filtered through Boruto’s bedroom window, casting long shadows over the scattered gaming paraphernalia. While Himari watched TV downstairs and the mothers shopped, a quiet tension hung in the air between the childhood friends. Boruto paused his game, his gaze shifting from the screen to Sarada, who studied beside him. A flush crept up his neck as he suddenly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her down until her head rested against his chest. He resumed playing, a smug, satisfied smirk playing on his lips as Sarada turned bright red, trapped in his embrace.
