[ The thought does reoccur to Alec as the cacti continue their course of interception and the town barely seems to get closer. Alec discovers quickly that his slender limbs are not hiding secret wiry running muscle, at least not of the calibre required for this.
He's the worse runner between them. Dan will probably think of pushing him first, or just peel off and leave him behind, and Alec doesn't want to find out what a pack of roving needle studded assholes have in store for tender human bodies.
He doesn't even need to touch him. All he has to do is reach out and push on the back of his knee, and Dan wouldn't even know it was Alec who did it. If he made it somehow, he wouldn't be able to pin it on him.
Except Alec still doesn't do it, and isn't that a bitch to realize just before he trips for real? ]
Shit! Shit, shit, shit -
[ Alec catches himself on his palms and starts trying to scramble back up, his sides heaving with exertion. Dan's definitely long gone, and now Alec is going to die, like an idiot, because he felt sort of uncomfortable about leaving some random guy he just met to the mercy of rogue botany. ]
