Hi everyone!
Originally, it was meant to be a three-chapter fan fiction, but then I decided to write a one shot.
Also apologies for any mistakes. If one is particularly bothersome, please feel free to let me know.
I hope you'll enjoy reading this!Gin never took a plane.
To be fair enough, she never left her little village in the middle of the North Carolina mountainside, with a clear blue sky and a never-ending forest.
She spent most of her life waking up at five o' clock in the morning and returning home seven in the afternoon during the winter. While during the summer time, she enjoyed walking around the mountains, touch the rough bark one the trees, following the flow of the water, and eventually loosing herself in the places, she loved the most. Walking in the summer days felt like walking through honey. Difficult. With the sweat rolling down, the sun that begun to appear when the roughest part of the journey come, the burning sun that shone so bright that blinded everyone. But the effort was worth.
The view from the very top was always amazing. Even though Gin had seen the same landscape since she could stand on her feet, she never grew tired of it.
Her grey eyes drank each time the landscape, like it was the only thing that kept her alive.
When people asked her why she kept going in the same places instead of take a journey to the Rookies Mountains, she just shrugged her shoulders and told them: "The important thing isn't gazing at different landscapes, but to gaze at the same landscape with different eyes".
In effect, Gin always searched for something different, searched for what made her different from the others, asked herself if she changed from a day to another.
However, she always saw herself as she did before.
So when her mother told her that the entire family was going to move to Tacoma, she didn't took it very well.
She heard that the sky in Tacoma was always covered in a thick grey blanket of clouds, while she wanted to see the sun and the bright azure sky, there, she couldn't wake up with the sounds of the forest, but she had to wake up with the annoying sound of cars. There she couldn't go and walk in the forest whenever she pleased. Plus she had to leave all her friend both in the village and in the small city where she was attending school.
It was a drastic change for her. Like a swerve of a car in the middle of the street.
However, it was for her brother's sake whom couldn't find enough medical assistant there, in the middle of nowhere, between the blue sky and the green of the forest.
So the Akutagawa family took for the first time in their life a plane, to leave the only places they knew for all their life, to look forward, to search for a new begging. Like a jump in the darkness.
The new apartment was rather small, or maybe it looked small due all the boxes that prevented them to walk around as they pleased.
Noticing the discomfort for her children, Thalia tried to make a joke or two, just to lighten up the mood, but Ryunnosuke just coughed and sat down on a box proclaiming to be tired and Gin kept quiet.
Thalia smiled weakly and proclaimed she was going to eat up some instant noddles for dinner, and that they should all go to bed early because the next day would be hard for everyone.
They all eat in silence. The only sound heard was the ticking of the clock and the sound if forks and knifes angaist plastic plates.
After dinner, Gin headed straight to her room, it was small and simple, the window was revolt to Est, and she wished to be able to see the Carolina, her small and simple house in the middle of the woods. But of course she couldn't.
