Riding Double
#FanFiction #AdachiToShimamura
“Look where you’re going,” Shimamura yelled, the wind tearing at her words.
She’d never been sure how Adachi steered the bike while looking at her. That question was now burning up the circuits of her brain, red lights flashing. It took a lot for that to happen. Normally, her brain was half asleep. On a good day, it might be 90% awake, but at the moment, it was running at 200% wakefulness.
It took an intersection full of trucks at the bottom of a hill to wake her up like that. “This is why the school forbade riding double,” she thought. Too late to worry about that—Adachi was staring at her, and the trucks were rumbling past.
“Brake! Brake! Brake!” she yelled.
Adachi blinked and froze. “Never yell at Adachi,” Shimamura thought too late.
“Trucks,” she said, just loud enough to be heard over the rushing air. A small part of her brain analyzed what was happening and marveled at her self-control.
She almost added, “I’ll let you sit between my legs” as a bribe. “No, no, no!” That small part of her brain panicked, screaming. “She’ll freeze.” As though she hadn’t already. But the comment would have locked Adachi into a glacial winter. Its icy depths would have someday yielded mastodons, and a mangled Shimamura.
Adachi looked forward and slammed on the brakes, #decelerating suddenly.
Shimamura—
sailing—
over—
Adachi—
handlebars.
Time seemed to stop, and a little girl with sparkling blue hair appeared floating in the air. Shimamura drifted into her arms.
“It’s destiny.”
