Beautiful day they have today, Piccolo invited Gohan to enjoy it with him, which was rare for the Namekian as being invited by this elusive earth born namek was like being invited by an introvert allergic to people
Small acts like this makes you aware just how much the green alien trust's his friend and the half-siayan couldn't feel be more valued
Gohan landed on the forest clearing and merrily jogged towards the waterfalls, there Piccolo was levitating in front but not facing the lively nature shower, he was above a wet boulder and was in deep meditation, serene light blue aura capsuling him
The Namekian was steadily breathing alongside with mother earth, their heartbeat thumping as one, veins and pulse ignite alongside molten lava deep within the planet's core, it was ethereally peaceful, even the weather of kind wind and gentle swaying of the grasses and leaves agrees
The half-Saiyan halted when he was just about to reach the Alien's vicinity, it felt like a heinous crime disturbing something so, un-evil, so calming and pleasant, the adolescent just stared in admiration and opted to keep quiet
The teen felt a softhearted tug, it was Piccolo's homely storm Ki, requesting him to share today's bountiful tranquility, the boy carefully accepted not wishing any ounce of disturbance to his dear friend
Gohan sat down with crossed legs in front of Piccolo just on the edge of the snug pond the waterfalls lands in, feeling honored to allow to exist within this secret bubble of hush wonders
The crashing of the water, the rustling of plants, occasional gushing of winds, nature was serenading them a lullaby
Anxiety, worry and social obligations were absent in their silent time together, there was just comfort and alleviation of problems, the heaviness washing away as the universe at this moment proves it massiveness, It's stars, it's blackness of space, existing with one another in reality in neutral balance, not caring what's cruel, what's just, what's bad or what's good
The added scale perception made him think how inconsequential his high school perturbations are, compared to how simple everything was
The two stayed like this, until the sun painted the sky orange and yellow, but it did not feel like hours had gone by, Gohan opened his eyes honestly kind of surprise at how into it he was to the point of losing cognizant of time
"Did you like it? " Piccolo asked nonchalantly, opening his eyes after hours of it closed
Gohan was breathless so he slowly nodded
The Namekian gave him a small smile and proceeded to meditate again, content, with this the boy understands that he can go home at any time now
