"Boruto, what do you like most about the person you love?"

It was a simple question. It involved almost no thought process whatsoever and he would've probably answered it had they not been having lunch in a public setting with Konohamaru Onii-chan and Sarada only a few feet out of earshot as she ordered their food. So, his brain settled for a much more stupid response ─ letting orange juice come out of his nose and a great deal of coughing.

"Not here, Mitsuki!" Boruto said in between coughs, eyes watering from the sudden stinging pain in his nostrils. He saw Sarada starting to approach their table and so he gave Konohamaru a pleading look as if to say that he'd explain everything later.

The older shinobi's raised eyebrow turned into an amused smile as he understood everything. He grinned like a mad man and gave Boruto a thumbs up.

"What happened here?" Sarada asked, sliding into the seat beside Boruto, "and why is Boruto so red?"

"Mitsuki asked about Himawari and Inojin." Konohamaru simply said, eager to keep this new found information guarded until he heard the whole story.

Boruto shot him a grateful look just before he buried his head in his arms and groaned at the thought of Hima getting together with Inojin. It was painful to even think about now that Konohamaru-onii-chan put the idea in his head.

"Why are you curious about that, Mitsuki?" Sarada handed each one of them their designated burger. "And Boruto, did you have to make a mess at my spot? Couldn't you have sprayed juice in the other direction?" She glared at him as she used the tissues to wipe away the remaining liquid.

"I can't control-"

"Human relationships have always been interesting to me as a subject and so I've been reading about them in my free time." Mitsuki explained before Boruto could complain, his smile not faltering one bit. "The last chapter was about romantic relationships and the author said that some people are attracted to certain physical characteristics of the person they love." He was about to say more when Konohamaru suggested something that piqued his interest quite a bit.

"Since Boruto obviously doesn't want to talk about it, why don't you ask Sarada, ne Mitsuki?" Their captain said, a smug smile on his face as he unwrapped the burger. He could see Boruto swallow hard, probably nervous about what the Uchiha would say next.

"But what would I know about romantic relationships?" Sarada's head tilted to the left as she searched her mind for whatever she knew and it wasn't much.

"No, listen. It's not just about romantic relationships. I think what Mitsuki was trying to ask us earlier was what we like most about the person we love." Konohamaru further explained, quite proud of his ability to interpret what his student was indirectly saying. "You don't have to be in a relationship with someone to be in love with them." He pointed out.

"Just physical terms?" Boruto asked, finally able to get the thought of Hima and Inojin out of his head.

"Yes, that would be a good start." Mitsuki smiled, glad for their eagerness to help. They didn't need to know his ulterior motives just yet.

"Eyes." Boruto and Sarada said in unison, as if it were scripted, before unconsciously looking into each other's eyes as they realized what they did.

Vanta black stared into cerulean blue and neither of them ever really realized just how intoxicating it really was to be able to stare into someone else's eyes.

Sarada was first to recover from getting lost in those impossibly blue irises. "Copycat!" She turns away to hide the light tint on her cheeks.

"I am not! You are!" Boruto harrumphed as he too turned away, feeling the heat rush to his cheeks after being entranced by her eyes like that.

"So does that mean you both like each other?" Mitsuki hummed in satisfaction as he smiled at them. It was the only conclusion his mind was able to logically arrive at.

Konohamaru looked quite amused. He owed Hanabi a thousand yen, it seemed.

"We-"

A pecking noise caught their attention just as they were about to tease the two some more. Sasuke's hawk was looking at them through the restaurant's glass windows. It was delivering a message.

They were being summoned by the Hokage.

Mitsuki was a bit disappointed that they were interrupted, but he was happy with what he learned. Blue and black go very well together and he was quite curious which eye color their children would have.

A/N: How was that? Good? Thank you for all the lovely reviews and support. Until next time. God speed!
