Do It Yourself - chapter 4
Obviously this is one of the stupidest things that Sho has ever done. And he's including that time when he was seven and took the dare where he had to run down the street with raw meat tied to him.
Who knew dogs could run that fast anyhow?
He shakes his head.
Now is not the time to be thinking of that particular black spot in his reasoning. Besides, when he dies he doesn't want his last thought to be one of dogs snapping at him, trying to eat him alive.
To be fair, (and to be completely honest) he takes Reino completely by surprise and (if his brain could process more than OhGodI'mgoingtodie!OhGodI'mgoingtodie!) he would be completely proud of that fact.
Smug even.
More so when the entire situation is added by Reino letting out a small shriek of surprise as Sho's hands clamp down on the steering wheel to keep the car in the right lane.
Unfortunately this is where the stupid part of the equation comes in. Because he's startled Reino, Reino lets go of the wheel. Because he was trying to overcompensate for the drag to the right he yanked down hard, spinning the wheel to the left and causing the car to cut across three lanes of traffic.
They barely miss totalling a silver Volvo which lets out an almighty screech of burning rubber as the driver breaks hard. By that time (of course) they're already twenty cars ahead and Reino has gathered his wits enough to grab the wheel again and try to wrestle back control.
Sho doesn't notice this much because his hands are tightly clamped on the wheel and he's staring in abject terror at the road ahead of them.
A small part of his brain does register that Reino still has his damn foot on the gas pedal because they're speeding up and that just shouldn't be possible.
"Sho! Damnit!" Reino's trying to pry his fingers off the wheel but Sho won't let go because they're going close to one hundred and twenty and Reino still isn't looking at the road!
He whimpers and doesn't really care about what Reino will think of him because he's pretty sure he's about to die in the next ten seconds.
This thought is cemented when Reino curses vividly and scrambles about in his pocket for a moment before he pulls out a piece of white cloth and slams in across Sho's nose and mouth.
'Huh.' Sho thinks as the world turns dark around him, 'Chloroform. That explained things.'
His last thought is that he's glad his last thought isn't about the damn dogs.
