Lemon tree (danisnotonfire fan fiction)

Neither one of them having a proper perception and understanding of what love is, Dan and Lisa encounter each other at a moment when all seems a bit fallen out of places. After the sharing of words and looks, as well as a few cocktails, the two decide on becoming friends. Each one of them has something to invest in the companionship, and they adore to roll their minds in the subject of love and life, but both of them know that one thing would ruin all - getting too close. Keeping distance and taking everything as a joke, a game, is what keeps these two out of deep waters.
''But what if...'' has always been their favorite question. But what if life isn't such a kid's game after all? But what if they are drawn to each other not because of common interest, but the naked thought of just being happy together? But what if... what they thought would ruin them and everything around, is what actually helps them to look at things from a different light?
But what if there was never a lemon tree but just a fruitless bush?

''I wonder how. I wonder why. Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue, blue sky, and all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree...''
