Nyx shrugged. "Or electronics." A faint smile twitched at his lips, and he chuckled faintly.

Jude laughed, nodding as he took Nyx's hand and stepped into the train. "Or electronics, yes. Robotics, maybe," He smiled, taking a seat as he thought of how it would go tomorrow. He raised his eyebrows as an idea came to mind, glancing over at Nyx to see what he'd think. "Ooh— that could be how we met."

He blinked, then nodded. "It…sort of is." He said. "We could say I work– or worked –for your father's company, which is, again, technically true."

Jude nodded in agreement, thinking about how his friends might go about asking him things. "Yeah, for sure," He said, "And…you know about robotics and programming, right? Two of my friends are studying computer science, and they might talk to you about it."

He nodded a little bit. "Yeah, I do." he replied, looking up at Jude and shrugging his shoulders faintly.

"Hmm, then you'll have something to talk about," Jude said with a smile, wondering if they'd get along. He leaned back in his seat, letting out a soft sigh, "What else can we say about you?"

He shrugged a little. "I'm…eighteen?" He said slowly. "And, uhm…I don't know." He looked up at Jude.

Jude nodded, considering any possible questions that they would've had to answer for. "What about…what interests you?" He asked, smiling as he remembered how bright Nyx's eyes looked when he first went outside, "Stuff you're curious about?"

Nyx thought about that. "But I'm curious about everything." he replied, cocking his head faintly and trying to figure out how to narrow that down.

"Mmm…that's true, yeah," Jude said with a slow nod, smiling as he looked to the side in thought, "But give me some examples. What's something you wanna learn about that you haven't talked to me about?"

He blinked, considering the question for a long moment. "Oh. Uhm…I don't know." He replied, cocking his head faintly.

(0_0 sorry im not replying so much !! school is kicking my ass)

Jude leaned back in his seat, chewing his lip. "Hmm, well, anyways," He murmured, "I hope it goes well with them. They're pretty talkative, but hopefully they don't suspect anything."

(oh the ?? Wasn't for you! Wolfy had accidentally posted a reply to this RP instead of theirs)

"I hope so too." He said softly. "What…what would happen if they did find out, though?" He looked up at Jude.

(ohhh ok :)

Jude let out a long sigh. "Well…" He began, trying to think of the best-case scenario. His friends were not the type to go running to the authorities, but involving them in any way felt wrong and far too risky to wholly consider. "They wouldn't tell, no," He shook his head, "They'd argue, probably. Maybe convince you to leave the country,"

( :) )

He frowned a little bit. "Why? Why would they want me to leave the country?" He asked, not quite understanding why they would want that to happen.

Jude shrugged, casting a long glance around the subway car before lowering his voice, "Cause it might get me– or even them in trouble." He thought of how some of them would react if they told them the truth, supposing that for the most part, it really wouldn't help. "I mean, telling them wouldn't do anything except make them worry or end up doing something stupid."

He studied Jude for a moment, then nodded. "Oh. Okay." He said softly, closing his eyes for a moment and leaning against Jude.

Jude nodded, softening his shoulders and leaning back in his seat, humming for a quiet moment. "Did you say you wanted to watch a movie when we get back?" He asked, wondering if blankets and warm drinks would be a nice way to spend the afternoon if the rain persisted.

"Oh, yeah!" He agreed quickly. "That would be nice." He smiled happily, looking over at Jude.

"Okay," Jude smiled, running an affectionate hand through Nyx's hair, "You choose this time. Pick something you find interesting." He let out a quiet laugh, "My friends never let me choose what movie we should watch. They say that Blade Runner gets a little boring after the fifth rewatch. I always disagree."

Nyx nodded a little, smiling happily up at Jude. "Okay." He agreed, leaning into the touch with a soft breath. "What else are we going to do tonight?"

Jude hummed, tilting his head to the side as he smiled at Nyx. "Whatever you feel like. I don't want you to feel like we gotta do every little thing I want," He said with a gentle shrug, feeling the train slowly begin to slow, "We can do whatever you're curious to try."

(sghsgdhsh Nyx like "I wanna try S E X" and Jude just choking like "wtf")

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Okay." He hummed very faintly as he tried to decide what to do, cocking his head to the side.

(gggghahha asking in public; the looks he would get "what? what did i say"// btw whats ur profile pic, I'm curious. a croc?)

Jude nodded thoughtfully as he felt the train slow to a stop. "Yeah, you plan the rest of the day," He said with a smile, getting ready to get off with the rest of the passengers as he glanced out the window, "This is our stop. It looks like they've got umbrellas out on the platform. Might be raining outside."
