Sakura picks a date location for himself, and Gon makes plans for a date location Sakura has picked out. The boy never expected for the day to pan out the way his partner has.

To say the excitement levels were through the roof, would be an understatement. Sakura was oozing giddiness. He wasn't just happy and excited; he was practically bouncing with anticipation.

Iason could feel the raw emotions weaving its way through his smaller boyfriend's aura. The boy was on par with Gon's genuine vibe, the radiant smile that could nuke someone's eyesight.

But, if he were being honest, comparing the two wouldn't be fair… at least not in this situation. Each partner had their own merit, one which couldn't put them on par with one another. He has come to understand that Gon provides the physical bond and excitement, while Sakura is the emotional support and provides the much-needed serenity.

Gon had already planned their entire date; the deal was Sakura picked, Gon planned.

This had been the deal made between his partners, right before he was being "ploughing" one he has desired for so long, not even an hour later they were calling each other's name with affection and need.

He couldn't deny that he enjoyed what that did that night. But what Gon had planned today… Well, the promise was made with Sakura, not with him involved. He didn't know why Gon changed the deal later, insisting that he needed to come on this three-way date too, even though the gift was mainly intended for Sakura.

Iason knew nature was involved; he wasn't a fan of being one with nature, well, at least to the same degree Gon and Sakura were…

While he wouldn't mind going camping with the two, sleeping under the starry night sky, listening to Gon romanticise the event all night long. With this event, he felt like he wouldn't get the same enjoyment as his partners would, how their eyes would light up whenever they find something within nature they can talk about.

Some of which would result in hours of endless discussion, in a topic that would leave him looking like some 'dumb-founded' third wheel. He didn't want to be the person that puts their mood in a damper.

Then again… when it came to dating, Gon was very hush, hush about his plans, as he was with every other date. Iason could still remember his date vividly. Gon had planned for the what-ifs, other locations they could visit if the first place fell through…

What if… Gon included me in these plans for today…? Iason thought as his eyes linger on his partner, taking in the bounce of his partner's strides.

They neared the edge of a forest, coming closer to an open lush field. When Gon stepped past the end, Iason brought his hand above his eyes, providing shade from the sunlight. Then his eyes opened wider, his gaze meeting the darkened plates covering a domed greenhouse.

Sakura pointed at the building, the fence surrounding the main elaborate construction and its smaller greenhouses littering the remainder of the open space, "I can't believe my eyes…"

Gon offered a small smile to his partner, fingers running through his smaller excited boyfriend's locks as he turned to face Iason, to see how the boy was feeling. He knew this wasn't Iason thing, but after having learned about some of the news covering Sakura's wish to come here, he couldn't exactly leave the boy out of this.

Iason needed to be here… to revel in the benefits of the so-called dreamless grounds.

With his free hand, he reached out to grasp Iason's fingertips within his own, tugging the hand so the boy would come closer.

Iason nodded with a small smile, before being pulled into the boy's arm. He held a hand to the boy's chest, feeling every breath reverberated in his partner's chest as his eyes lingered on the dark building overshadowing the rest.

"I promise Iason, you need to be here…" He spoke softly before placing a kiss on the boy's head, his twinkling eyes then being directed at his other partner, repeating the same action.

Sakura's cheeks turned a darker shade of red as Gon continued, "As soon as Sakura mentioned this place, I had to look it up. Usually it's jammed packed for months, but with the help of some friends…" Gon stopped to look once more at the building, "I was able to rent out the building for a few hours… just us."

Sakura's eyes widened in shock, "Wait, what?! Who on earth did you make a phone call too? What did you have to sacrifice…?"

"Nothing~" Cheekily remarked before sticking his tongue out at his partner.

Iason didn't understand the situation that well, he didn't know why what Gon did was such a crazy stunt. From what he was looking at, this building was nothing more than a dark greenhouse, with nothing special radiating from the building.

"Gon!"

"I'm serious!" Gon chuckled when Sakura proceed to poke his ribs, pushing him for his secret to cancelling so many appointments in one sitting. He knows there's usually roughly ten to twenty-five people every hour coming to appreciate this tree's beauty.

"I asked Daniel, ok…"

Sakura soften his expression, unsure why Daniel would even have this kind of sway.

The boy clarified his partner's confusion, "At first I thought I would ask my dad, considering he helped fund the construction to keep the tree in this kind of environment, but he didn't want to lift a finger here."

"Which would be understandable…" Iason remarked with a cheeky grin, "I too wouldn't want to stop rush hour for my child and his two dates."

Gon stuck out his tongue at Iason. The boy was being a sassy little minx, "So I asked Daniel and he directed me to his dad."

"Vastorie or was it… Nathanial?"

"Nathanial, Vastorie has sort of…"

"Gone Rogue…? Off the radar…?" Iason sighed, understanding a little of how frustrating it can be from Daniel's point of view. He doesn't know the full story, as Daniel has kept it a secret from even Gon. But this whole act, Vastorie cutting off connections to ones he supposedly cares about… Well, he just doesn't understand why Vastorie is doing it.

He only knows Daniel's side, at least to some small extent. Vastorie was an enigma, the enigma that unfortunately help him not only get laid, but to get his brother to comfortably talk to them about "the topic".

"Yeah…" Gon spoke softly, his eyes being directed at the floor. Flicking them back up, he meets his partners with a relaxed expression, "I spoke to Nathaniel, and he was happy to help see if he could do something for us. I thought we'd have to wait months, but we only had to wait a few weeks."

"Gon, I told you about this place almost three weeks ago."

"I know, but…" Gon pouted slightly, before his cheeky expression shone through "We are here, about to enjoy another date. However, we only have two hours, but Nathaniel assured us to enjoy every moment. He hasn't come here personally, but he knows how much it means to…" Gon poked his smaller partner's nose, "you…"

Sakura diverted his eyes. He didn't know Gon could get him this embarrassing, but here he was… able to feel the warmth of his cheeks. His partner was one magnetic, smooth talker.

"Save me Iason!"

"Nu-huh…" Iason huffed out annoyance, "you were the one that told me to accept every compliment he gives us."

Sakura pouted, crossing his arms as he turned away, head facing upward as though he was trying to pretend, he was some snobbish rich-brat. However, in reality… he was being a Tsundere; a sarcastic Tsundere.

As Gon let out a loud chuckle at that, he forced his two partners forward. Iason could no longer hold his fake facade, breaking down from his laughter alone. Although, having Sakura pretend to be angry was very reminiscent of Killua's playful nature.

He could act all angry and aggressive, but deep down, he was a kitten who loved to receive affection… to be cuddled with.

But he couldn't compare Sakura and Killua; he loves the two of them equally. However, with Iason now involved, he has a much deeper connection with Sakura. Hearing that both of his partners were willing to accept his compliments as they came, made him overjoyed, ecstatic from the news.

He couldn't have asked for better partners…

He couldn't wait to curl them both into his chest, wanting to fall into an endless dream they could share under the Meadow of Dreams. Sakura already knows where they're going… he made the request.

Having Iason here will help him confirm some suspicions about the place. Not ones that made him wary, more so curious about the possibility of the tree being filled with life… aura that keeps it sustained.

As they reached the gates, Sakura continued to bounce with excitement. If it weren't for the guards at the entrance, Sakura would've run in already.

The guard on duty stopped them "Sorry, we're closed off for a reserved event."

Gon pulled out his licence, showing it off to the guard, "Umm… It was reserved for the three of us. I asked Nathaniel in advance."

The guard looked over the Hunter's Licence, unsure how to react. The fact that three kids had the area reserved for themselves, or the possibility that one, who looked like he was in his teens went through the life-threatening trial to obtain the licence.

Should he fear the kid…

Or be envious of him…

The man frowned as the young teen continued to smile. He wasn't at all worried about being shooed, in fact it was as though the boy knew he was getting in without an argument. He honestly doesn't know what to do in this situation, so he curled his hand around the radio, calling it in.

Sakura pouted as the man whispered, he really hoped they don't get rejected. He wanted to come here.

After a few minutes the man offered Gon back his licence, pointing towards the pathway, "Here you go Mr. Freecss. Follow the red path, it'll lead you to the main Greenhouse."

Gon nodded enthusiastically, running inside with his partners. The boy gave the man a wave as they disappeared behind the wall.

He couldn't help but smile, not expecting his afternoon to run like this. Three kids hired the place for two hours, one of them has a Hunter's Licence and a connection to Nathaniel Darkscryer. Talk about being ridiculously lucky, or powerful individual with great friends.

"~"

Sakura's breath stilled when his eyes fell on the tree; it leaves glistened a shade of light-blue, petals continuously swaying under the gentle breeze of the wind coming through the tinted panels.

One of the key requirements to making sure this tree thrived, was it had to have enough darkness. It didn't have to be pitch black, deep underground or in some cave, just needed to be dark enough for its colour to shine through.

The lighting created a wonderful environment for the tree to show off it's "light", including the luminous particles that endlessly fell from the leaves.

If the boy didn't know what beautiful meant, this tree was a standing beacon of beauty. Sakura held out his hand to catch a particle, but it dispersed upon touching his palm. He pouted from the action before smiling once more.

Even if he can't capture a particle from this moment in time, they're still there… getting to experience this; just the three of them, alone on this lush field of beauty.

Sakura pulled Gon into an endless hug, repeatedly thanking his boyfriend for the gift.

Gon simply held his partner, hugging his boyfriend back in response. From the corner of his eye, he saw Iason's gaze fixated on the tree, nothing to betray his internal thoughts.

The boy couldn't wait to bring his partner closer to the tree. He wanted to see how his partner would react from touching the bark. He wanted to confirm if it felt the same as touching the "world tree" or as Ging pointed out, the sapling.

Back then he could feel the life flowing through it…

Gon let go of Sakura, allowing the boy to explore the surrounding area. Sakura wasn't just interested in the tree itself, he wanted to see what the particles did to the surrounding area, the flora dispersed throughout the greenhouse.

Gon took hold of his other partner's hand, drawing his attention away from The Tree of Dreams.

Iason's cheeks shifted to a dusted pink when the boy's fingers interlocked with his. Instead of spending the day exploring with Sakura, their partner was choosing to stay by his side once more. He was making sure he was being entertained, or so he thought…

"Come on, I want to show you why you had to come here." He led the boy closer to the base, standing before it. There were no signs of stopping them from touching it so Gon reached out, pressing a hand to the bark as he turned to face his boyfriend, wanting him to do the same as well.

Iason reached out, fingers pressing against the bark as he closed his eyes. He felt a swirl of life bloom from within, reaching out to touch intersections as though it had Micropyles of its own.

Iason was genuinely surprised; he immediately removed his hand as though he had gotten a static shock, "It…"

"I thought so!" Gon chimed in with a bright smile, eyes lingering on the magnificent specimen before him, "It's the Tree of Dreams…"

Iason snorts, he didn't expect to have that kind of name. But given the name, he did feel a little sleepy while under the tree's leaves. They had a kind of alluring nature.

Gon pouted before removing his hand, "It has other names, in all languages. But it's also called a Hyacinth Luminous-Willow. It releases spore-like particles that puts people to sleep." As Iason's eyes widened slightly, Gon held out his hand to stop his boyfriend from freaking out, "Don't worry. It's harmless. It's more of a calming type of sleep. The kind that leaves you feeling relaxed."

Iason let out a sigh of relief. No wonder he was starting to feel like he wanted to sleep. Under its spell it made you feel peaceful.

"People say when they fall asleep under this tree, they dream of their future. But I don't think that's the case… I think it's more like they dream of a future they want; the tree just makes their dream more... vivid, I guess?"

"Gon, the dream crusher… don't let anyone catch you saying that."

"I don't mean it like that…" Gon whined, "I think Daniel or Killua could explain it better than I could. I mean…" The boy hummed, "We make our own dreams… but… the tree helps us realise it more easily, I guess…"

"So… What?" Iason raised an eyebrow at the comment. Honestly, he was hoping Gon wouldn't suggest using it's "magical ability" to dream of a future they desired the most.

"I want the three of us to fall asleep under its leaves."

Iason sighed, he saw it coming. As cliche as this request sounded, he can see the allure of its appeal. He can see why GOn wanted to do this just the three of them. But at the same time, he couldn't help but point out how cheesy he was being right now "That does sound…"

"Kind of romantic!" Sakura had butt in, surprising more Iason than Gon. The boy wasn't expecting the smaller of the group to admit that, and going by the dusted blush, neither was he.

Gon placed a kiss on Sakura's cheek, coaxing the boy to look at him.

Several kisses later, Sakura held his gaze, breaking out into a soft smile once he came to terms with the situation. Gon wanted them to share a "dream", well, cuddle up with his partners as they dream about what they wanted for their future.

Gon laid on the ground next to the base, eyes looking up as particles continued to fall gracefully onto his features. He wondered what he'd dream of, what he truly wanted to happen in his future.

Closing his eyes, the boy smiled widely as sleep overtook him.

Iason looked over to Sakura, finding that the boy was looking at their fast-asleep partner. The boy then looked back to the tree, remembering the flow of aura coursing through its inner rings.

Gon had brought up the fact that many people whom have fallen asleep under this tree, have dreamt of their future. Seeing as Gon was now fast asleep, this was as good as any time to open the dialog to Sakura.

It would be a great learning curve for Sakura, to prove that given the right circumstances, even foreign objects other than humans could use Nen "The tree has aura."

"It can use Nen?"

"Well, sort of…" Iason brought a hand back up to the bark, touching it once more "I think it thrives on the aura culminating here. Whether it siphons a bit off the people gathering here, enough to not be noticed, or it has its own form of aura it produces… It technically does use a form of a Hatsu."

"Is it safe… to have… well, to have the aura of another's clash against ours?"

"The tree doesn't have a malicious intent, so it should be safe. I don't see why we should be concerned about the outcome of our dreams. I'm just worried about how it'll deliver it…"

"Hmm…" Sakura paused to look at their partner, "Whatever the outcome of our dreams… I don't think it'll change our relationship. Well, that's what Gon would say. I tend to agree with him… Do you feel the same?"

"Yes…" Iason didn't need to think about it. What he felt for his partners was real; a tree that could help process dreams isn't going to change that. The boy walked over to Gon's side, resting his head against Gon's chest.

He felt it rise and fall; the movement helped rock him to sleep. When he closed his eyes, he didn't know how long it was before Sakura joined them, but when the boy does, he hopes the three of them would have a pleasant dream to talk about when they wake up.

"~"

Iason felt his eyes drawn to the horizon, standing on a cliff overcasting the deep ocean floor. He couldn't control his body, except for his head. He was able to look around, just not move the rest of his body for the moment.

He felt a bit of panic settle in, unable to remember how he got here. Then he turned, his body moving on autopilot, at the pace of the sequence. His eyes met with the back of two figures, each standing near a tree, looking down at something.

The two figures felt eerily familiar, except one was shorter than the other. The taller figure was kneeling slightly, bent down to height of his much shorter companion. The figures' eyes were focusing on this object, a rounded surface peaking just above these boys; they showed signs of coastal weathering.

It looked like it was made of stone, but due to the figure's height, he wasn't exactly sure what the object was made from. So, the boy settled on trying to understand who these people were, why he felt like he knew them, and why he was standing here with them…

He sized up the taller figure first, considering he was the one that was drawing his attention the most. He had jet black hair, spiked at odd angles. It was close to Gon's style, but the difference with Gon's hair and this guy's, was that it was longer.

He was also quite muscular; sure, Iason has traced Gon's arms a few times in the past, able to recall every dip in those taut muscles. But compared to this guy, Gon couldn't compete. THis guy must have had years of training at a gym or a similar regimen to build that kind of raw strength.

The shorter of the two had creamy brown hair, with a small stray tuft of hair gracefully bouncing in the wind. It couldn't be…

It was like a dream of a possible future…

Now that he thinks about it, the last place he was at… wasn't it at the Hyacinth Luminous-Willow? Was this his dream, a future where the three of them would eventually stand on a cliff overlooking the ocean, nothing but a single landmark to mark the area…?

When the smaller of the two turned to face him, it confirmed his suspicions. The smaller person was indeed Sakura; a still very attractive older version of his boyfriend. If the dream is true, Sakura holds his youthful appearance well into the future.

But what the older version of Sakura does next, puzzles him. The boy held a finger out to the object behind him, lips mouthing to say something. But he can't hear anything, except for absolute silence.

Am I deaf in the future…?

No, that didn't seem right. This was Sakura and Gon he was dreaming about. If he had gone deaf in the future, they would've gone out of their way to learn sign-language just for him. They cared about each other's well being, and he would do the same if any of his partners were deaf.

The older version of Gon was next to turn; oh boy, he was not expecting "Future Gon" to look like that. He had forgotten to breathe, focusing solely on Gon's features. Fuck… me… Gon was insanely more handsome in the future, at least when it came to this dream sequence.

A tight jawline…

Narrow eyes that he swore said "come-hither".

If that was what Gon looked like in the future, clothes would be an option he'd opt out of all the time. But, it's not just Gon in this sequence that's handsome. Sakura is equally as stunning to look at. He would love to have him wrapped around his waist, their lips barely touching, unable to look away.

Although, he'd feel sorry for his partner if he remained that short. He'd be forced to jump up into their arms, at least by going by how he had to look downward whenever he met Sakura's eyes. The poor boy, every time he wanted a hug… or a kiss.

As much as he'd like to eye fuck those two, he quickly shook those thoughts away. While he'd like to fantasise about going down on adult versions of his partners, Gon had stated this is a dream of a future he wants…

Although, he can't imagine why he'd want Sakura to remain short for the rest of their lives. Maybe like Gon, he saw Sakura as being cute, and the dream just interpreted that as meaning Sakura will be fun-sized.

Either way, he still had the rest of the dream sequence to understand. SO, he shifted his attention to trying to understand this sequence.

What did he want with this place in particular? It was a cliff, with no hints of telling him where exactly it was. From what he knows so far, he wants to be with his partners permanently. It wasn't news to him…

He has felt this way for a while. Being with Gon and Sakura…

Learning their likes and dislikes…

He found himself growing fonder of the two as they learned to be more comfortable with one another.

Thinking that he'd never learn more about this place, Gon had spoken as well. The boy's lips moved, the same silence making it impossible for Iason to understand what was going on. That was until the taller boy stepped out of the way, revealing what both of his partners were trying to tell him.

Iason's sight left his partner's, following the trail to where his partners' fingers were being pointed at. It was a pair of weathered tombstones, crumbling away from a time that had long passed.

Tears welled up as he saw the names, two he'd recognise at the drop of a hat. Why was this his dream?

He tried to scream out, but no noise escaped his lips. Gon, please wake me up!

A/N: I must split up this chapter. The next part doesn't feel right, so I need a little more time to sort the flow of the sequence. =)
