Ch. 5

                                    

                                          
A bird flew over Boruto's head and chirped loudly, causing him to wake up. His eyelids started to feel heavy since he wasn't fully awake yet. As the view of the sun rising caught Boruto's eye, he realized that he is outside. In the woods. Laying on the ground. With his childhood best friend. 
                          
"Sarada?" Boruto said under his breath. She looks so cute and peaceful when she is asleep, Boruto thought to himself. 
                          
He also let out a quiet gasp once he noticed that his arms were wrapped around Sarada while her head layed on his chest. Boruto liked this feeling. He didn't know what the feeling sad but one thing that he did know was that he never wanted it to end. He wanted to stay like this forever.
                          
Her hair looks so soft and silky. I wouldn't dare touch Sarada's hair if she was awake but since she's asleep... maybe I could try to get a feel of her hair for the first time. 
                          
Boruto gently ran his fingers through Sarada's hair while being mesmerized by her beauty. This only went on for almost 30 seconds since Boruto noticed Sarada starting to move her head, digging it deeper into his chest. The sight of Sarada showing such affection towards Boruto even in her sleep made him blush like crazy. Then he noticed her start to open her eyes and he automatically panicked. Boruto's first instinct was to pretend to be asleep. If Sarada knew that he was awake she would want to get up and Boruto just wanted to lay down for a little longer. 
                          
Her eyes began to flutter open and she smiled while staring at Boruto while he was "asleep", remembering what happened last night. Sarada didn't want to move too much so she moved her head behind her to see the sunrise.
                          
The sun hasn't even completely risen yet. Odd. Usually I don't wake up this early. It would probably be the best idea to get up now. It would give both me and Boruto time to bathe before heading onto our next mission. 
                          
Even though Sarada wanted to stay laying down with Boruto, she managed to slip out of the blanket and out of Boruto's arms. She yawned and stretched out her back and legs. Then she traveled to the small pond that was quite close to where they decided to camp at last night. Sarada grabbed a towel and an outfit out of her bag that she brought with her and quietly walked down to the pond. 
                          
After pretending to be asleep, Boruto actually ended up falling back asleep. He opened his eyes to see that Sarada was looking at the sunrise. And that was the last thing he saw before going back to dreaming. 
                          
I don't think I woke him up. Sarada thought to herself and sighed in relief. Let's hope he remains asleep for a bit longer. I wouldn't want Boruto to see me naked... although now that I think about it, it wouldn't be the end of the world. 
                          
Sarada giggled to herself and blushed as she imagined all of the outcomes of that situation. She looked behind her to make sure she wasn't being watched and started to slowly undress herself. 
                          
"Where did she go?" Boruto whispered under his breath once he no longer felt the presence of Sarada. He looked all over the place to find that Sarada was taking her shirt off next to the pond. He couldn't help but stare even though he knew it was wrong. She started to pull down her pants and that's when Boruto decided it was a good idea to look away and mind his own business, as much as he wanted to see her naked, it would make him a pervert.
                          
Is she going to bathe in the pond? It sure looks like it. Since I can't just stare at her while she undresses I wonder if I could join her...
                          
Boruto slowly got up while trying not to make a sound. Sarada's reflexes are like a cat's. He looked through his bag to find a towel for himself and a clean outfit. Instead of undressing next to the pond like Sarada did, he undressed himself next to their camp site and walked to the pond in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. 
                          
Here goes nothing... Boruto thought to himself.
                          
Sarada was already in the pond at this point, casually swimming around in the water, getting her hair wet. Boruto managed to make it from the camp site to the pond without making a single noise. He went unnoticed to Sarada until he purposely made noise in the water as he dipped his foot in the water to check the temperature. Sarada quickly turned around and put her entire body under the water so that nobody could see her. 
                          
Does she not yet see me? Boruto thought. 
                          
Sarada was looking around to see who else was with her and then she saw Boruto, standing behind her only a five feet away, with a smirk on his face and his hands at the top of the towel. 
                          
"You finally noticed my presence huh?" Boruto said to her with a smirk still on his face. Sarada blushed and replied, "How long have you been there? Have you been watching me? You perv." 
                          
Boruto's smirk started to fade into a face that said "Really?" He rolled his eyes at her and responded, "I just now got here. If anything, I just went to go look for you and since I saw that you were bathing in the pond I thought I could join you." 
                          
Sarada looked shocked and her entire face turned red. She giggled and said with a smile on her face, "That's not appropriate, Baka-Boruto." Boruto's smirk came back as he could see that maybe Sarada didn't completely dislike the thought of bathing together. 
                          
"You know I still need to bathe too, right? The sun will be up very soon and we'll have to get going." Sarada nodded her head, understanding where he was coming from. She knew his was right so she sighed, looked at him, and said, "Alright fine. You can join me. But this is a one time thing." 
                          
Boruto slipped his towel off of his waist and Sarada couldn't help herself but stare. 
                          
"Take a picture, it'll last longer", Boruto said with a chuckle. "I am no where near interested in having a picture of that." Sarada replied while rolling her eyes and looking down, trying to avoid eye contact. 
                          
Boruto slowly began to dip his body into the water and started walking towards Sarada...
