Merlin had found a job working in a fast food joint. And while it wasn't the most glamourous of jobs, it was helping him pay the rent. He'd been working there nearly a week and everything he owned, including his hair, all smelled like a giant french fry. And his hands had mustard stains. All he really wanted to do was go home and take a bath and sleep. Maybe wank.

He walked into his flat and took off the dumb hat they made him wear, tossing it aside, then saw Draco standing in his kitchen. It was Friday night, wasn't it? "Hey."

	"I don't share," Draco said, shaking his head. "I don't... I know it's not like you'd be in love with them or even like them. You'd be doing it for the money. But I could never be okay with that." He turned his hand under Merlin's linking their fingers together. "So... how was work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Merlin sighed softly. "I know that you wouldn't be okay with it. That's why I didn't take the job. That's why I took this other job. I'd never do anything to hurt you on purpose, Draco. You must know that."

He ran a hand through his hair, squeezing Draco's hand. "It was stressful. They want to put me on register because I'm good with people. But, you know me. I don't like people."

"I know," Draco said, nodding. "You made the right choice. I won't say anything about your job." Even if he didn't think Merlin having to choose between being a fry cook and a call boy was very fair. He was better than that.

"You are good with them though, even if you don't like them. You should try it," Draco said, smiling at Merlin. "If you want to put you out front they must have faith in your abilities."

"It's more like no one else wants to do it. And I'm the new hire, so they think they can force me to do it." Merlin pointed out, kissing Draco softly and then pulling off a piece of garlic bread. He popped it into his mouth, then took a bite of spaghetti.

"One day, I'll have a different job. I'll be in University." Merlin told him. "And then, I'll be able to make all our dreams come true."

Draco watched Merlin eat a bit of the bread and try the pasta, then picked up his own fork. It couldn't be that bad, right? "I think I'd rather take people's orders than make the food," he said. "I'm not very good at cooking."

He tried some of the pasta. It wasn't terrible, but it definitely wasn't as good as the food their cook at home made. "I'll be at university with you, after a year," Draco said. "We'll be able to live together full time if we want to." It did sound nice, although it also made him miss Pansy and the way he and Pansy had talked about being roommates for university when they were little. She'd probably want to live with her boyfriend even if she didn't hate him.

	Merlin nodded at that and pet at Draco. "I know. I want you to be at University with me. And I'll find us a flat after my first year and it'll be perfect. By then, I'll be all sorted out and I won't be as grumpy." He touched Draco's hand and leaned in, kissing him softly. "I do love you. Even if we fight all the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We didn't used to fight all the time," Draco pointed out, sighing. "But then I made you come out and now there's so much stress all the time that we bicker about everything. I'm sorry. It's my fault for pushing you."

He kissed Merlin back. "I love you too. I'm looking forward to it. When everything is better and we can just be happy without worrying about everything so much. Is the garlic bread any better than the pasta?"

"It's not your fault. I love you. I should have come out sooner." Merlin told Draco, shaking his head. He leaned in and brushed their lips together, then ate more of his pasta. "It's my fault my parents are split up right now."

"The pasta is better than the garlic bread." Merlin told him. "You should let the pasta cook longer. And garlic bread is easy. There's a garlic paste you can buy, mix it with a little butter and then spread it over a nice slice of baguette."
