Chapter 3 - The Strange Couple

It's the height of the day, there are a lot of customers, not a minute to rest, only the weather pleases. The sun does not bake much and a cool breeze that made you feel comfortable.

Sarada tried to reach the shelf with primroses, standing on a small stool, could not resist and flew down, but Boruto managed to catch her in time.

"You could have asked for help," Boruto said and easily reached for the shelf and handed over the right flower.

"I just didn't want to bother you.." - after making sure that Boruto handed over the same plant, she went behind the counter.

"Will you stop saying that? Because of this, you almost got hurt, next time ask me to help you.." Boruto said, looking at Sarada with concern.

"Stocks of red roses and sunflowers are running out."

"Are you even listening to me?" Boruto asked, looking at his ignoring girlfriend.

"Okay, next time I'll ask you for help, are you satisfied?" said Sarada, shaking her hand slightly, making it clear that she did not want to continue the dialogue.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people. At the end of the evening there was no one, so the guys decided to have a snack sitting by the window.

"It's just boring to eat, let's play?" Boruto suggested.

"Let's say, but in what?"

"We will look at passers-by and guess where they are going," Boruto said, stuffing a bun into his mouth.

"Let's get started.. Where do you think the girl with the bright hair and the dog is hurrying to?" said Boruto, glancing at the girl.

"She looks joyful and is dressed very nicely for an ordinary walk. Maybe the girl is going to the park to meet someone there, most likely it's a guy, but I'm not sure" - Sarada shrugged her shoulders.

"It's your turn to see what you say about that boy." Sarada pointed at the skinny boy.

"Upset, it seems he has a black eye," Uzumaki took a closer look - "I think he got it in a fight, maybe he's going home, although look."

A girl ran up to the boy and stopped, she had an ice pack in her hands, she put it to the bruise of the upset boy.

"Kind girl, girlfriend probably, but now the boy is not so sad, shall we continue?"

"It turned out to be more interesting than I thought, come on."

"How about a woman with a cane in her hands."

"She looks very tired, the hat is funny, I assume that she is from the exhibition, the dress on her is one of the most expensive, so it is possible that I may be right. So, those guys over there.— They are clearly arguing hotly about something, or rather one is trying to prove something to the other, and he does not believe or does not understand, it seems they are friends." - Boruto wanted to add something, but the door of the store opened and a young couple came in, did not even say hello.

"And what did we forget at the flower shop?" The light-haired man asked his companion.

"Have you tried, at least once in your life, to turn on your brain or you don't have it, we came for FLOWERS." - Rudely replied a red-haired girl with freckles.

"Do you take me for an idiot? And which one are you going to take?" - The man tried to answer as calmly as possible.

"So you don't know what my favorite flowers are called?" She looked at him as if he had done something illegal.

"Well, I'm sorry, I can't remember everything." The man looked irritably at the red-haired woman and said in a barely audible voice - "Hysterical."

"What, what?" Despite Boruto and Sarada's attempts to calm them down, the couple continued to quarrel until the girl grabbed a pot of primrose that Sarada had recently put there.

"Brute!"

A flower flew at the man, but he dodged and the pot crashed against the wall.

"Crazy."

"If it goes on like this, they will destroy the whole store." - Sarada looked at Boruto with a strange expression on her face..

"It's worth drawing their attention to us. Hey, can you stop ruining everything here?" Boruto turned to the couple and it seems they finally realized where they are.

"I apologize, I will pay for the flower. The man cast an angry glance in the direction of his companion.

There was a depressed atmosphere between the partners and Sarada decided to intervene.

"Are you all right?"

"Of course, it's just impossible to live with this cretin, he's always in his work, and when it comes to me, he always forgets. " - The redhead turned away, the situation became worse.

"You could have talked to me instead of acting so disgusting."

"Disgusting? Yes you... "

Boruto interrupted her so that the quarrel would not start again.

"You wanted to buy a flower, right?"

"That's right, I forgot because of him, I would like to buy a daffodil."

"Wait a minute." - Soon Sarada returned with narcissus.

"Here you are. " She handed it to the red-haired girl while she was taking out the money, Sarada said.

"It's not my business, but I think you should make up, and in order to quarrel less, pay more attention to each other, try to understand, not condemn, I'm not an expert, but still."

The girl became darker and her boyfriend noticed it, she paid for the flower and wanted to leave.

"Then, can I have a bouquet of white roses. " - The man became happier.

"Of course. "Boruto and Sarada collected a beautiful bouquet and handed it to a light-haired man, he paid for it and for a broken pot of primrose.

"What are you doing all of a sudden? The girl raised an eyebrow.

"This is for you, as a sign of my eternal love for you, you're right I should have paid more attention to you."

"Unexpectedly, thank you, I don't remember the last time I received flowers."

"She started to melt." Boruto whispered, standing near Sarada's ear.

"Any girl is pleased to receive flowers"

After exchanging a couple more caustic words, the young couple finally reconciled and left the shop in a good mood.

"A strange couple, I think they won't stop quarreling, but it's a start, something will work out," Boruto said, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"But we didn't manage to have a proper snack, everything must have cooled down."

"Don't worry, you won't die from it."

"So I'm going to starve."

"You're being dramatic, don't argue with me."

"Well, yes, well, yes, you should know better."

"I suggest we continue the game." - Sarada went to the window, Boruto followed her."Where's that old man with the violin case going?"

"A musician is probably going to perform on stage or a street musician, a kind smile, happy..."

Another day passed in the flower shop, and the guys again managed to help customers and come up with a new occupation...
