Luck shrugged, "Well, alright." He finished off the rest of his cereal and ran the bowl under water at the sink. "Toss me yours when you finish," he said. "Then I'll show you the way to school."

Rune finished his cereal quickly, drinking the leftover milk which had turned chocolatey, before handing his bowl to Luck. He'd brought his backpack down with him when they left the bedroom, so he was all set to go when Luck was.

Finished rinsing the bowls, Luck propped them up on the dish rack and headed out the door with a "Come on" in Rune's direction. He closed the door behind them and started for the subway.

"You don't have a card do you?" He asked on the way.

Rune shook his head, following Luck. "My house is close enough to the school that I can walk... And I walk anywhere else I need to go. I don't have money to waste on such things..." He said, shrugging a bit.

((By the way, are we keeping track of the weekdays xD? Also, my writing's super dry and boring right now because I have no clue what to write :x))

"Alright, I'll swipe you in."

A few more blocks and they entered the subway station. With the train just arriving, Luck tugged on Rune's wrist and pulled them inside the car before the doors closed.

Rune kept close to Luck, slightly nervous around so many strangers. He squeaked a bit when his wrist was grabbed and he was essentially dragged onto the train. "So, how far is it to school?" He asked, looking around and finding them two seats next to each other so they could sit.

((Um.... Apparently not..?))

((Okay..I think this is the third day. Probably. How about make this Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of -insert month here- at -insert date here- in -insert year here-))

Sitting down, Luck shrugged, "A few stops. Once it starts saying Oak street we're there."

He looked at Rune, "Do you normally use the subway?"

Rune shook his head. "I usually walk to school, or anywhere else I need to go..." He said, looking around a bit before his eyes landed back on the blonde beside him. He hadn't taken the subway since he was little, and then he'd been with his mother and little sister.

Luck watched as Rune looked around. He didn't have anything to see himself, having seen all the ads countless times, and having long followed the unspoken code of not speaking to strangers on the subways.

The subway made a stop: *ding* "This is, Acorn Avenue. The next stop is, Oak street. Please beware the closing doors." *ding*

"It's the next stop," Luck remarked.

((Maybe we can make it friday? And... Sometime in the fall, either october or early november...))

Rune nodded, shifting slightly in his seat. His eyes flicked around at the other passengers slightly. He could feel his anxiety creeping up on him. Thankfully theirs was the next stop. A few more minutes, then he'd be free, topside, in the fresh air again.

((Oh wow, I nearly forgot I asked that, woops. Okay, Friday, 6th November, XXX1))

Luck glanced oddly at Rune, as he watched the boy shifting in his seat. "Hey, is something the matter?" He asked. The train was starting to slow down. They were nearly at Oak Street.

He shook his head a bit, fidgeting slightly. "No, I... I'm just no big on enclosed spaces..." He said softly, flushing slightly at the admission.

"Alright," Luck said, "It's alright." He looked over at the side of the car. "It's pretty easy to get out if you want. The doors at the end open. Though it's quite loud out there."

The subway ground to a halt and the doors opened with a *ding* "This is, Oak Street."

"Come on, let's go."

Rune nodded, getting up as soon as the train stopped, heading for the exit with Luck. The sooner he got aboveground, the better, in his opinion.

Walking up the stairs, Luck noted that Rune was getting noticeably more relaxed. He wondered if Rune was claustrophobic, and if claustrophobic people found the underground an enclosed space. Personally, the underground was as much open air as the above for him.

Walking a little ways, he approached the front of the school.

Once they reached the top of the stairs, Rune took a deep breath, much more relaxed. It wasn't just the closed in-ness of the train, it was all the people, and the smell, too. He followed Luck towards the school, going up the steps to the front door. "So... D'you wanna meet up st lunch and go over those math notes again?" He asked, fidgeting slightly.
