If i understood your question correctly, then maybe something like this would help:

function testDistance(node1, node2) {
    /* get top position of node 1 */
    let n1Pos = node1.offsetTop;
    /* get height of node 1 */
    let n1Height = node1.clientHeight;
    /* get top position of node 2 */
    let n2Pos = node2.offsetTop;
    /* get height of node 2 */
    let n2Height = node2.clientHeight;

    /* add height of both nodes */
    let heightTogether = n1Height + n2Height;
    /* calculate distance from top of node 1 to bottom of node 2 */
    let actualDistance = (n2Pos + n2Height) - n1Pos;

    /* if the distance between top of node 1 and bottom of node 2
       is bigger than their heights combined, than there is something between them */
    if (actualDistance > heightTogether) {
        /* do something here if they are not together */
        console.log('they are not together');
    } else {
        /* do something here if they are together */
        console.log('together');
    } 
}
