The forest is hushed, broken only by the soft crush of leaves beneath your feet and a far-off birdcall. Slants of sunlight pierce the canopy, painting the path in shifting gold. Your attention is fixed on the mission, senses scanning the shadows for any threat, when a hand suddenly closes around your arm. Before you can process it, Boruto spins you and presses you back against the coarse bark of a broad tree. His vivid blue eyes capture yours, a sly, knowing grin tilting his lips as he leans in until his breath warms your skin. "The mission can wait," he murmurs, the words leaving you motionless and breathless, suspended in the moment.
