It's a clear, sunny day. Clouds are drifting slowly across the sky and Naruto and Sasuke are lying in a field.
Naruto asks Sasuke what his favorite color is. So Sasuke thinks for a while.
Sasuke hates yellow. It's loud and annoying and it hurts his eyes. It's happy and cheerful when he's unhappy and sad and that makes him mad. It mocks him with its joviality, while he knows he can't be that way. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's hair.
Sasuke hates black. It's cold and emotionless and reminds him of himself. He doesn't like that he wears a mask of icy indifference; he doesn't like to think that he might be a stuck up selfish person. But he loved because it's the color of the whiskers on Naruto's cheeks.
Sasuke hates brown. And tan, because they're such ordinary colors. They have no personality at all, but there are so many shades that are so beautiful that you can't help but think that you love it. It's dull and dreary. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's skin.
Sasuke hates blue. It's cold and indifferent, but happy and cheery at the same time. Hates it because it has so many different meanings and colors and moods that spin him around and make him confused. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's eyes.
Sasuke hates white. It's pure and clean, reminding him that he's not, that he's not perfect. And he wants to be perfect for a certain someone, because that someone is perfect too. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's innocence.
Sasuke hates gray. It's dull and meaningless, and the color of kunai that he puts at a certain someone's throat when they spar, and the kunai he could be putting at Itachi's throat. It tells him that he needs to strive for perfection to beat Itachi, and he hated being told what to do. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's headband.
Sasuke hates orange. It's loud and persistent and the color of the end of the day, and he hates it because it reminds him he has to wait to see a certain someone and he can't handle that. But he loves it because it's the color that Naruto wears.
Sasuke hates red. It's angry and violent and comes with orange and yellow. It reminds him of blood, the blood of his clan and he feels the need to avenge them. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's chakra.
Sasuke hates pink. It's girly and feminine, and he's masculine and he doesn't like feeling helpless. It's the color of Sakura, and he hates her because she puts Naruto down. But he loves it because it's the color of Naruto's lips.
Sasuke hates purple. It's the color of Ino and she gives him headaches and heartaches. She says horrible things to Sasuke about Naruto and she makes Naruto feel bad. But he loves it because Naruto does.
Sasuke hates green. Mostly because Lee wears it and it hurts his eyes. It's nondescript, nothing special, and most times it's completely forgotten. But he loves it because it's the color of the grass in the field he and Naruto lay in.
Sasuke responds to Naruto's question with a "Hn."
Naruto says his favorite color is black. When Sasuke asks why, he says that it's because it's the color of Sasuke's eyes and Sasuke's eyes are beautiful, just like everything else about him.
So when Naruto asks Sasuke what his favorite color is again, he considers black. And blue and green and red and orange and yellow. But he can't choose, so he says that he likes them all. And that makes Naruto happy and that's all Sasuke ever wants, is to make Naruto happy. So when the grinning Kitsune pulls him down for a kiss, he feels like everything is right with the world and nothing matters anymore except for he and Naruto.
And above them the rainbow sparkles and shines in the misty rain.
