So
La Vita a Colori did a fanart for "There are stars in your hair." It is posted on her
DA and
y!gal accounts. I removed it off of ff.net due to using some aspects of it for a creative class short story, but I will go ahead and post it here so people can have somewhere to read it.
Please do check out the fanart...it is absolutely positively gorgeous *____*
And below is the LJ cut to the drabble. :3
Notes: inspired by Train's song Drops of Jupiter.
there are stars in your hair.
He's convinced his boyfriend is from space.
Maybe it has to do with those sappy, sickly, god-awful metaphors of his eyes looking like the sky when the sun is up or his hair being as bright as said ball of fire - but Sasuke is positive Naruto is an alien of sorts.
"I love the rain," Naruto says.
Sasuke gives a noncommittal grunt.
It's summer and it's raining. It's warm and it's wet. They're sitting beneath an awning, at some random street in the middle of Konoha. Everyone else is smart enough to seek shelter, but Naruto insists on staying there. He likes the rain. Sasuke knows this because Naruto just said so - he's said so many times before in the past. Sasuke finds the rain and summer tolerable because they remind him of Naruto and that he is starting to tolerate Naruto more and more.
Naruto has a far off look in his eyes, like he's staring into space - literally - and perhaps he's remembering the stars falling like rain along Saturn's rings that he once lived and walked on.
Sasuke always had the impression that Naruto lives his life as if he were gliding along the Milky Way, or riding a comet, bursting through the stars and through the galaxies with no care in the universe.
"Come on, Sasuke," Naruto insists, his voice sounding like summer and his laughter as sweet as spring. He grabs Sasuke's hands and pulls him away from their shelter and out into the warm rain, water splashing at their feet as Sasuke protests and Naruto laughs and laughs.
"Dobe," Sasuke says, disgruntled, but Naruto just looks at him, his eyes blue and bright and clear, and Sasuke thinks he sees the sky falling in them.
Naruto's dancing and laughing and spinning and Sasuke's just staring at this alien boy who crash landed on Earth-- the same planet Sasuke is stuck at.
He's so carefree. So open. He can probably fly off into the sky if he wants to.
They're both so wet, but Naruto doesn't care, and frankly neither does Sasuke.
"There are stars in your hair," Sasuke says. He reaches out for Naruto's hair and his fingers intertwine with threads made of sun and he knows he's looking into his own piece of heaven. He knows, no matter how sickeningly sappy it may sound, that Naruto is his summer and winter, spring and fall all rolled into one; his ticket to the Milky Way and living on Saturn's rings; his personal moon and sun and all thestars in-between.
Naruto smiles at him before taking his hand, their fingers entangling.
"Let's go home, Sasuke," Naruto says and leads him through the rain and to the stars.
