Day 6: So What if I Break My Arm? I'm Still Doing It + Big Spoon/Little Spoon
Notes: More jock band geek au cause I had no idea what to do with this
Glimmer watches Adora gear up to battery ram the door down. The football player thinks about how hard she will need to hit to open it but not cause any damage and have her be charged with breaking and entering. Glimmer keeps telling her to wait for Bow to come along with the key but Adora doesn’t want to wait. She is already committed to the task at hand. After some more thought, the jock throws her body against the door. It doesn’t budge but Adora is set back, landing right at her girlfriend’s feet.
“Please don’t hurt yourself. It’s not worth it,” Glimmer tells her.
“You are the one telling me how much your instrument is like your child! I am gonna get it for you,” Adora replies. She gets up to her feet and rolls her shoulder. “I am going to get that stupid band room door open.”
Glimmer sighs. “I am not going to be able to stop you, am I? Bow is coming.”
“Yeah but when? We already can get in trouble for being here this late.”
“And ramming the door will be better?”
“Eh, I used to break into classrooms all the time back at my old school. Now let me try again.”
Glimmer steps back to watch Adora attempt to ram the door down. The first few attempts fail. All Adora has to show for herself is a mark on the small window where her hand had landed at one point. While she continues to try and break down the door, Glimmer looks at her phone. There is a new message. It is from Bow. He will be here soon. She quickly texts him, telling him to hurry or Adora will beat him to the punch.
“I think I almost got it.” Adora suddenly says.
Glimmer looks up. Adora is holding her arm, rubbing it. It is red. “‘Dora. Bow will be here soon. I don’t want you to break your arm or something.”
“So what if I break my arm? I’m still doing it!”
Adora does not listen. She throws her whole weight against the door, as if she is tackling an opposing football player. The door flies open, ripping itself off the lock. There is still a monumentum to Adora’s tackle, sending her into the band room. The next moment is filled with the loud and banging sound of her crashing into chairs and stands and who knows what else. After the shock of her girlfriend’s plan actually wears off, Glimmer darts into the dark room.
“Adora?” she asks. Only a low moan answers her. Glimmer turns on the light on her phone and looks around. She quickly finds Adora in a heap, her body tangled in the mess she has made. She makes no attempt to get out. Glimmer races over to her. “Crap, are you alright?!?”
Adora makes another low noise. It takes her a moment to gather her thoughts and finally form words. “You know how in cartoons when a character hits their head they see birds? I think I get it now.” Adora shakes her head. “But I think I am fine. Just dazed. Can you help me?”
“Hope you didn’t break anything. I mean both you and everything in here. My band teacher will flip out if anything gets messed up.”
Glimmer starts to help Adora up. Half way up, Adora suddenly whines. She bites down hard on her lower lip, trying to hold back any more cries of pain.
“What’s wrong?” Glimmer asks.
“I think it’s my leg. I must have done something when I crashed. Damn it. I can’t tell if it’s sprained or broke.”
Glimmer quickly removes the stands and chairs away from Adora. Once her leg is freed, she reaches down and touches it, asking Adora where it hurts. Her girlfriend guides her until she hisses through her teeth. Whatever she has done to herself, it is closed to the ankle.
“Okay well, boy will be here soon with a car and we can take you to the hospital. But let me see if I can find you an ice pack.”
“I thought you didn’t want anyone to know we were here?”
“You just crashed through the back half of the orchestra. At this point, who the hell cares.”
While they wait for Bow, Glimmer digs up a first aid kit and grabs one of the ice packs in there. There isn’t anything to wrap it around but neither seem to care about this fact. After she takes the pack from Glimmer, Adora reminds her to get her instrument. She does. By the time the one thing they came here for is taken out of its locker, Bow appears at the mess.
“What…Do…Do I even want to know?” he asks.
“How are you feeling?” Glimmer asks.
Adora rubs the yellow cast on her right leg. “Sore. I still have that stupid after taste in my mouth from what they gave me to help with the pain.”
“Well, you shouldn’t be on that for too long. Though, I guess you will be benched for a couple weeks?”
Adora groans and flops back down on the bed. She runs her hands over her face. “Don’t remind me. Coach might kill me for it but if the season still goes how it has been, I should be back to some working condition by playoffs.”
Glimmer carefully sits down next to her girlfriend. She puts her hand near her cheek, waiting. When Adora nods, she closes the gap. “Even if what you did was beyond stupid, I still can’t say how happy I am that you were willing to break a bone to get my instrument. I can’t thank you enough.”
“Anything for you, hon. What the hell do I do now that I am on bed rest when I am not going to class?
Glimmer removes her hand from Adora’s cheek and crosses her arms. She raises an eyebrow. “What? Am I not good enough for you?”
Adora reaches for a pillow and smacks Glimmer square in the face. “You know what I mean, jerk. Is there anything good on netflix?”
“We can see. Or how about we look for one that is horrible and we just rip into it?”
Glimmer quickly sets up her TV to hook up to her netflix account. Once the two find something that they can agree on, they spend the rest of the night watching and laughing at some poorly animated movie that is clearly a rip-off.
Soon, Adora starts to grow tired. After everything that happened tonight, her body wants some rest. Glimmer catches her yawning and turns off the TV so they can get ready to sleep for the night. Once settled into bed, Adora manages to get onto her side. Glimmer wraps herself around her back, holding her tight as she buries her face in the back of her neck.
“Tomorrow is Saturday so we can just stay in and relax,” Glimmer whispers.
“You say that like I can do it,” Adora jokes.
“We will figure something out but promise me to take it easy? The more you do that the faster you will heal. And hey, we can do homework together and you can listen to me practice. How does that sound?”
“I think I might be able to enjoy that.”
