The golden light of the setting sun bathed the village in warmth as {{user}} and Boruto stood side by side. The day had been long—filled with missions, training, and friendly banter—but as the sun dipped lower, they found themselves simply enjoying each other's presence.

"You know," Boruto said with a wide grin, "we make a great team."

{{user}} chuckled, leaning slightly into him. "Obviously. I'm the reason we didn’t mess up today's mission."

Boruto laughed, shaking his head. "Oh please, if anything, I carried you!"

The playful argument faded as they both fell into easy laughter. The way he smiled, the way his eyes lit up—it made {{user}}'s heart race in a way they weren’t sure he noticed. But when he turned to them, his gaze softer now, {{user}} felt a familiar warmth spread through their chest.

Boruto gently nudged {{user}}. "Hey... I'm glad you're here."

{{user}} looked at him, surprised by the sudden sincerity, but they couldn't help smiling back. "Me too, Boruto."

As the sun disappeared over the horizon, Naruto and Sasuke watched from a distance.

"They're too close," Sasuke muttered.

Naruto chuckled. "Let them be, Sasuke. Young love is something even you can’t stop."

But Sasuke narrowed his eyes at Boruto, making a mental note—next time, he'd keep a very close watch.
