In The Treetops || GonKillu

Chapter I

Yearning. The feeling I'm always experiencing. Yearning. Yearning to be with with and see him again. Yearning his sweet, bright smile that made my heart gush every time I saw it, his messy, yet soft dark green spiked up hair, his large hazel eyes that shine so bright, his voice, the way he would drag me along on all his little adventures.

I miss him. I miss Gon. I miss it all.

At least I still have Kurapika and Leorio...

Gon moved away.

By now he's an adult, too. On his own. Probably in college. Probably has a girlfriend. Hangs out and goes on adventures and hiking with his buddies. Doing just fine without me. Slowly forgetting about me, or already has forgot about me.

Only if I told him back then. Only if he knew...

I sigh thinking about Gon, locking up the little café that I work at. It's owned by my old retired martial arts teacher, Biscuit Krueger. But she lets me call her Bisky.

I finish locking up and go into my Jeep, I'm ready to go to bed, go to sleep, and never wake up. At least I don't have work tomorrow or college. Yay, the weekend.

I get in and start up my Jeep, buckling myself up, shifting it into reverse. It's dark out, around eleven-o'clock at night. I back out of my parking spot and start heading home. The roads aren't too busy, mostly empty, quiet. It's nice. I turn on the radio so there's music softly playing in the background. I've always loved night drives. When I was little my parents used to have to drive me around at night to get me to go to sleep.

I drive through the city and out into the country, soon making it to my house. I park and get out, unlocking my door and heading inside. I kick off my shoes and set my keys down on the table, heading straight to my room, yawning as I flop down on my bed, curling up under the sheets, not even bothering to change out of my work uniform.

I've been doing overtime for the past two weeks and haven't been getting much sleep at all. So now that I'm done working overtime and it's the weekend and summer break from college, it's time to just sit back and relax.

I slowly drift off into a peaceful slumber, letting myself be immersed into the world of dreams where happiness awaits me. Well, less of the world of dreams and more of the world of memories.

The star shot sky sits high above our head, our feet dangling high above the ground as we sit on a branch near the top of the tree. Me and Gon sit close together, our thighs touching, staring off into the distant sea of trees, the tree we're on towering over the others so we can see the tops.

There's a silence between us, but it's not an awkward or uncomfortable one, it's a peaceful and calm one, one that could put you to sleep, yet there's this weird tension in the air that I can't quite explain.

Gon shifts around to look at me, in which I look back. There's a second of us just looking to each other's eyes. I can see my faint reflection shimmer in his bright hazel eyes.

"Killua, I have something to tell you," Gon says, he glances down at his hands, hanging his head down.

Oh no...

"W-what is it, Gon," I ask nervously. I really hope it's nothing bad.

There's a pause after I say that. "I'm moving."

I look down and start to tear up a little bit. He can't move!

"We'll never see one another again," I mumble quietly with a quiver.

I look up at Gon, he's starting to get up and his originally sad expression being replaced with an inexplicable one, one that looks hopeful and determined, but not at the same time

"Let's meet again sometime soon, Killua," Gon says with a grin.

"Yeah, let's meet again soon,"

Gon pulls me to my feet and hugs me.

I flutter my eyes open. It's bright out. The Sun shining through my blinds into my eyes.

I groan and get up with a yawn, picking out some casual clothes to wear and change into them and make breakfast, doing random stuff around the house 'til the Sun sets.

Today I'm going back to the tree where me and Gon said goodbye.

I go outside and get into my Jeep, speeding down the highway to where we would always enter the forest because it's a little ways away. I pull down a gravel path and drive deep into the forest and park at the end of it, get out, and look around.

There's slivers of sunset peeking through the thick tree canopies, the wind rustling the tree tops. I scout the land a little bit and find the path that we used to take all the time to get to the tree. It's a bit overgrown and weeded. I walk down the path and memories flood back to me as I look around. Memories to when me and Gon would play tag and other games, climb the trees and pretend we're explorers in a jungle looking for hidden treasure, one of us would be the monster and the other would be the explorer, when we would sleep up in the tree tops, and more.

I hike the couple mile trail and find the tree. It's at the top of a hill near a cliff, a forest below expanding to the horizon and beyond. I look around the tree, our names still carved on the side of the trunk. I crack a little smile as I see that.

I begin to climb up the tree, leaping from branch to branch just like when I was little. As I approach the top of the tree I see a figure sitting on a branch. The same branch that I'm looking for. I furrow my eyebrows.

Who the hell is on our tree?

I reach the top and sneak to the branch behind the person. I immediately recognize the features of this person.

Could it be?

"Gon," I say, shock clearly present in my voice. "Is that you?"

The individual jumps a little and looks over at me and I immediately know who it is for sure.

It's Gon.

Sorry this wasn't good. I'm having issues focusing right now, I don't think my meds are working as much as they used too! I needed to get this out, so I'll work on it later.
