Colorful shades.

It was a quiet night above the rooftops of Konoha village, where distant lights twinkled beneath the starry sky. Neji sat leaning against the edge of the wooden railing, his eyes lost in the distance, enveloped in his usual tranquility.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of familiar, hurried footsteps. Neji turned calmly to find Boruto leaping beside him, panting, his usual bright smile on his face. Without warning, Boruto threw himself onto Neji's shoulder, instinctively wrapping his arm around his neck.
"I've looked everywhere for you, Neji! Why are you always sitting here alone?" Boruto asked, his tone a mixture of reproach and delight.
Neji glanced at the hand resting on his shoulder, then turned to meet Boruto's vivid blue gaze. He felt a strange warmth seep into him, the warmth this blond boy always brought with him to melt the cold, impenetrable walls of the Hyuga clan.
"I was enjoying the peace and quiet... until you and your noise came along," Niji said in a low voice, but the corners of his lips rose in a rare, faint smile.
"The noise is exactly what you need!" Boruto laughed, moving closer until his face was right next to Neji's, studying his sharp features and the tattoo resting on his forehead. A short silence followed, but it wasn't a cold silence; it was charged with emotions neither of them dared to put into words.
Neji slowly raised his hand, his long fingers gently settling among Boruto's messy blond hair. "You never stop causing trouble, do you?" Neji whispered, his eyes filled with deep affection.
Boruto smiled with unusual shyness, closing his eyes and enjoying Neji's warm touch, praying in his heart that this moment would never end, and that this calm shadow would always remain his safe haven.
