Wheels by Verlaine (PG)
Fandom: Starsky/Hutch
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Why this must be read: This is a sequel to Gadgets and I just love peeking in on the guys in this universe. This story is about their modes of transportation. Starsky, of course, has another beautiful car and Hutch has...a bike. But it's not just any bike and it even has a special name.
Hutch never grew out of the healthy eating and exercise stage, despite plenty of encouragement from yours truly, and as he got older, he got more and more involved in all the environmental stuff too. So a couple years ago, when his last crapmobile finally gave up the good fight, he decided he wouldn't get another car and bought a bicycle instead. Now, knowing Hutch, you'd figure he'd get some broken down wreck from a garage sale or a sad second hand thing from the police auction. Not this time. I swear he dragged me to every bike shop in Bay City, surfed the net for hours, bought catalogs and magazines by the armload. What he finally ended up with was a pretty nice mountain bike, with Shimano brakes, front-end shocks, and some seriously badass tires. Looks like it could climb straight up a cliff. He calls it the Millennium Falcon, which makes no sense, far as I can tell. Hutch doesn’t even much like Star Wars, and sure, it's a nice bike, but it ain't the fastest piece of junk in the galaxy by a long ways. I think it's supposed to be one of those Hutchinson jokes.
They're growing old together and remembering the little things that make life worth living. It's the ability to ride your bike to go get groceries. It's the ability to argue with your partner over the food he eats because he's still around to do it. It's the ability to make love in the garage just because you feel like it. Growing old together, it's a good life.
