-2007-

At Central Line on metro station

Waiting for Lis was two train rides. And then two back.

This district was very shady and she stuck out but that wasn't her problem.

The train doors open. Their they were.

Dark brown hair..warmish tone..dark grey slightly slanted eyes.  .  .The same black and white checker coat and bag that she would end up holding. Nothing else was unusual down to the pearl necklace and specific shade of red lipstick that didnt come of regardless of anything.

She knew too well. "Claire your late I had to go round my train route twice."

"Didn't mean to honey." They rolled their eyes. As guessed she was handed the bag. She did kiss them before they blanked her completely on the train for the next twenty minutes.

After changing train lines and no longer in an shady area. Sun beams though the windows. Lis wore glasses to avoid the sun.

For the majority of the ride they held her hand. In secret but on certain days they decided not to. Today was that day.

She found out shortly it was because an ex was watching Lis and she wanted to make them jealous. "She is fucking crazy okay don't look in the direction she will burn down the house and slash the tires."

"I two would do that for you if there was a problem.. Maybe Id do worse."

They gave her a look.

"It wouldn't work you have already done all of the above it wouldn't shock me. Unlike them."

Lis very sharply kissed her hand.

"Do you really want to be shocked though?"

They changed directions on where they were sitting, then they nodded. Grabbing her arm as the train changed directions.

"How long do we have left?"

The grip on her arm strengthened.

"Ten minutes til we a walking again. Then another five minutes." They groaned.

"Why is it so long." It was actually fairly short but time was money for Lis.

"You asked me to walk you or any transport to our academy everyday. I am keeping my word." She was certain she had a scratch mark on her upper arm.

They looked around and sat normally again.  After awkwardly limping there head to the side for a questionable second they placed it finally on her shoulder.

Hm.

After the withering ten minutes it was cold again.

She wasn't as but they definitely were. Standing closer to her as it got significantly stronger.

"You cold?"

"No. Just have jitters from smoking instead of eating breakfast."

That was a complete fucking lie.

The defensive look was her favourite. They glared with such irritation and anger. But like it was pretty they really showed more than two expressions.

"You only get jitters from the cold sweetie I know your parents aren't that ignorant." The glare was warranted but funny regardless.

"I only get them from listening to your bs in the morning." They entered the second trainline.

She laughed. "You will recover your stuck with me the whole day."

They lightly smiled. Enough to look like they care. But something took their attention very quickly.

"Claire. Small problem." They patted her shoulder.  The hand lingered and point at something very odviously.
