Ging returned to his native land for a short time, purely to check out the surroundings, which he actually missed a little.

he didn't expect to meet any of his friends, but he just couldn't ignore your voice when you obviously recognized him.

"how are you?" he decided to ask, although when he hadn't seen his friends for a long time, he felt as if you were seeing each other for the first time.

"actually, I'm so tired of everything." you confessed. "working in a cafe tires me so much, the staff are unfriendly, the customers are arrogant."

"that's how our world works."

you nodded in agreement to his short answer. looking at the horizon somewhere in the distance, where the sun was setting, your gaze was dreamy, your smile gentle, when you put your hands on the railing you looked like a bird that wanted to get out of its cage to freedom.

just like Ging used to be.

"I understand, but I just want to breathe in the fresh air without thinking that tomorrow will be a day I don't want."

in this regard, he considered himself a slacker, lived side by side with nature, did not depend on money and did not think about anything.

he was free, but you…

"would you like to disappear with me?" he suddenly asked, not looking at you, but knowing that you were looking at him now.

"disappear with you?"

"I'm not the type to travel with anyone, but if you really want to." pause. "I could make an exception for you."

he walks away from the railing, holding out his hand to you as if inviting you to go with him, leave the daily chores and entrust your fate to him.

"but I need to pack the things I need."

Ging gave you a quick glance. "what other things? that's enough for you."

{{user}} didn't have time to agree and refuse either, because without warning, he grabbed your hand and led you along.

"just trust me," he whispers.

your fingers curled around his in response as you found it easier to walk. he didn't inspire confidence as a man who could be trusted with his fate, but at that moment, for some reason, you quickly agreed.
