Kari: Yeah, so I'm back after a super long hiatus…don't kill me!
Naruto: KARI-CHAN! We missed you! *gives bone-crushing hug*
Kari: Aww. Missed you too! Now…*turns blue* please let go!
Naruto: ACK! GOMENGOMENGOMEN…
Kari: Anyway…I was taking a shower the other day…and the idea of the colors of the rainbow came to me as a NaruHina anthology… :D So, here you go!
Naruto: Kari-chan does not own Naruto!
v i o l e t
Her favorite color is, not purple, but violet.
Well, more of a light violet, or lavender of sorts, but violet just the same.
Naruto remembers the day he gave her a necklace.
He remembers her birthday.
"Hinata-chan!" Naruto waves.
"N-Naruto-kun…" she stutters, color rising up her cheeks.
He arrives at her side in seconds, panting heavily.
"Here…" he says, huffing, his hands on his knees.
Hinata stares at the small white box that is shortly presented to her.
"W-what…" she trails off, her milky white eyes not leaving the sight in front of her.
"It's your birthday today, isn't it? December the 27th?"
"Y-yes…" she stammers, blushing even more.
"So I got you a gift!" Naruto finally straightens, his blond hair askew as usual and his blue eys twinkling with mischief and delight.
Hinata finally gathers the courage to turn her head and marvel at the most beautiful sight in the world.
Well, in her perspective anyway.
She is left speechless, and her face starts morphing into different shades of red.
"Well?" Naruto asks, looking expectant. "Open it!"
She nods shakily, her hands reaching out to grasp the box.
Slowly, she opens it, and is dazzled by a small, yet elegant pendant of amethyst dangling on a string of silver.
"I got it because it reminded me of you, Hinata-chan!" Naruto beams, seeing her captivated by his choice. "It's your favorite color, purple!"
Hinata looks up at Naruto, her eyes sparkling with a few tears.
"W-what? Hinata-chan, don't cry! If you don't like it, I-I can always return it and get you something else!" he says, flustered.
"No, Naruto-kun!" Hinata replies. "I love it, I really do! And I'm crying because it's so…so…perfect!"
She smiles happily, unaware that she has just spoken to the one she loves without stammering once.
Naruto stares at her, astonished that she has said a full sentence without stuttering once, and that she loved the gift, and then promptly beams once more.
"B-but, there's one t-thing, Naruto-kun…"
He looks at her, his eyes questioning.
"M-my favorite color…it's not p-purple…i-it's violet."
Naruto smiles at the memory.
"Naruto-kun?" his wife asks, interrupting his flow of thought.
He turns his head in the direction of the voice.
"Dinner's ready-" she squeaks in surprise as he pulls her into a hug.
"I love you, Hinata-chan," he whispers into her ear.
Hinata smiles knowingly as she whispers back to her husband, "I love you too, Naruto-kun."
Kari: Well? Should I continue? Free cookies if I get reviews!
Naruto: Review please! Kari-chan will give you cookies and I'll treat you to ramen!
Itachi: ...Or else I'll kill you all. *glares*
Kari: Eheheheh...hope you liked it!
