“Shhhhsh I wanted to so you can just, y\u2019know,\u00a0shut up<\/em>. It\u2019s the first season of\u00a0Elementary<\/em>; I hope you haven\u2019t seen it.\u201d She left on the wrapping paper and laid the dvd box set on the floor. Akira frowned. \u201cAs if I wouldn\u2019t! And okay.<\/p>\n

I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t got the largest friend group. But the friends I\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>have are more likely to stick around, you see? I\u2019ve known Emi for going on three years, and hope to know her for the rest of my life. If she can put up with me I mean I\u2019m pretty annoying-\u201d She grinned at Hakuba\u2019s eyes in the rearview. \u201cI\u2019m only kidding, of course. I\u2019m hoping you and I can be life-long friends too. Maybe.\u201d Akira made a small noise in her throat and moved on. \u201cOh no you don\u2019t! I can pay for my own lunch mister. If you\u2019re going to insist – which I\u2019m guessing you are – I call frozen yogurt afterwards. Deal?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The wind roared as they reached a little over freeway speed, and she almost had to yell \u2018Deal?\u2019 at Hakuba, but Akira laughed and threw her head back.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Hakuba listened as Akira spoke, letting her ramble on as he manuvered the car through traffic, maintaining a good clip along the way. Her admission quieted any sarcastic quips that he had planned, and instead he let himself grin in a settled sort of manner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Deal,” the detective replied. “Deal on the yogurt, and on the being friends. I don’t know how you put up with me, either; I’m downright insufferable, or so I’ve been told."\u00a0<\/p>\n

He shook his head, eyes rolling in amusement despite himself. "And…\u00a0Elementary<\/em>?” Hakuba asked, then laughed. “No, no; I keep hearing that I need to watch it, but haven’t yet. Tha-”<\/span><\/p>\n

The detective had time to blink approximately once as the car came into view in his side mirror. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“Ah-” <\/span><\/p>\n

The steering wheel jerked, grip lost. The car swerved, violent motion punctuated by the scream of twisted metal and squealing tires. Fighting for control, Hakuba watched as the lines in the road ahead turned sideways, fishtailing despite plenty of traction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All too quickly, the same break-neck speed that Hakuba enjoyed in his sports car turned perspective into white knuckled panic. Bumper met divider, buckling the cherry red hood as if it were aluminum, which the detective only briefly saw before he lost track of everything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
