A/N: Hello, all. :) My finals are over! Thank you to everyone who wished me luck on them; I'm sure it helped. 3
I completely overthought the numbers Chase throws out here, but those represent a fair bit of calculations, and estimations. *is an overachiever*
I think we'll have this one, one more after it, and then a double drabble to finish off the Strong arc once and for all! Almost there, folks! Then we'll move onto other things. :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to Pink-Libra-Girl, Asori, and T.F. Crosby for your wonderful reviews.
Pink-Libra-Girl: My faithful reviewer, I'm so glad you're still enjoying this, and I can't thank you enough for sticking with me all this time. Honestly, you're a gift, and never let anyone tell you different. :)
Asori: I also love how bite-sized drabbles are. Some people complain about how short they are, but I'm happy they fit your lifestyle, and that mine are the ones you choose to read. It means a lot that you read, and review when possible. Thanks!
T.F. Crosby: I'll be honest, I had that song in my head while writing this! I just put my own spin on the song's sentiment, but it's there, 100%. :) Thanks so much for reviewing, and don't worry about vanishing. I completely understand life getting the better of you; it happens to me allllllll the time.
Episode: None
Rating: K+
Warnings: Concussed Adam, oddly technical Chase. Nothing to see here, folks.
Inspiration: Adam and Chase interactions across the show.
Be the reason someone smiles today! :)
Adam woke up after 36.57 minutes, after 1621 steps. He mumbled something, and I stopped in concern.
"Adam?" My voice was shaking, and I cleared my throat, automatically putting on a brave face. I continued more steadily. "You alright?"
"Think so," he slurred, very concussed.
"Good."
Silence. Then-
"Chase?"
"Yes?" I replied, strained.
"Why're you carrying me?"
I laughed, pain ripping through my chest. Becauseyouneedmeto, replied my mind warmly, but I responded with something teasing instead.
Then Adam, always the big brother, asked about Bree. I'd been worrying about her myself, but I reassured him.
We relapsed into uneasy silence.
