Ryouta Kise – Date #52: Bike Ride
The sun is shining brightly, reflecting off the pond as you
and Ryouta make your way around it on your bikes. It’s the most perfect spring
day and you’re so thankful your boyfriend has the day off from basketball and
modeling to spend some time with you.
A cry of gleeful surprise draws your attention to the blonde
as he stops, pointing across the lake. Halting your bike, you straddle it and
follow the line of his finger where you see a group of kids on BMX bikes doing
various tricks, jumping over benches and generally causing a commotion.
When Kise turns back to look at you, the expression on his
face has you groaning; you know that look.
“Ryouta-kun, no,” you say.
“What ____-cchi? You know I can copy anything!” he pouts.
“That may be true for sports, sweetie, but that’s a bit more
complicated. Plus, you don’t even have the right-“he doesn’t wait for you to
finish your warning, taking off at full speed intent to copy what he sees them
doing.
Sighing, you take off after him, if for nothing else than to
be near at hand when he wrecks himself and needs to go to the hospital.
Ahead you can see him speeding forward, tires hitting their
mark and he launches. He releases the bike, kicking it to spin around but as
you predicted, because he’s on a normal bike, the body doesn’t rotate properly,
leaving him to either land hard on it wrong or abandon the contraption all
together.
He opts for the second scenario, releasing the bike with a
decidedly high-pitched scream that would have you laughing if you weren’t so
fearful for his wellbeing. He rolls as he lands, thankfully not hitting his
head or twisting anything as far as you can see.
His bike, however, is a bit worse for wear, slamming down
hard, the frame tweaking.
From his position on the ground, Ryouta groans but as you
reach him you’re thankful it’s more so in embarrassment than because he’s hurt.
You disembark from your bike, allowing it to fall to the ground as you kneel
beside him.
“Ryouta-kun, are you ok?” you ask and he removes the hand
covering his eyes.
Looking at your face he asks, “____-cchi, will you go with
me to get a new bike?”
You’re unsurprised when he buys a BMX, intent on redeeming
himself from his epic fail.
