Nico Pov

Am I a what?!

"No! What on earth made you come to that conclusion?!" I ask startled as he wipes his face smiling sheepishly

"Well you work late hours and don't want me to know where you work," He says looking like he felt bad

I pause a second to think about what he said and I guess he is right about that

"Okay, I see where you came from but no I'm not a stripper" I laugh now blushing

Will looked embarrassed "my bad," he said rubbing the back of his neck

I look at my feet awkwardly and sigh "I should get ready for work" I said and before he says anything I get up and leave the room

I feel bad a little by can you blame me he is literally saving lives and I'm giving people high cholesterol

I get in the shower to clean paint off me from earlier and change into a black shirt and grey sweats and put my work clothes in a bag and went to the door and got my shoes on

"If you need anything let me know!" Will says as I get out the door

I don't respond

Time skip to work

I change into my uniform and clock in early

"Nico? You're early? Like 2 hours early" Jason said confused

I looked at the clock "oh. I didn't realize" I laugh awkwardly

He gives me a suspicious look but goes to help a customer

Welp better start on drive-through

A few hours later

It's pretty late now and so far we haven't been that busy

I kept my headset on and went to Jason who was in the office

"Jase I need to change my address on my stuff so my mail goes to the right place," I say and he nods

"Write it down and I'll do it later," he said seeming busy

I grab a sticky note and write it down and I hear a beep saying someone was at the drive-through so I rush back

"Thank you for choosing McDonald's what can I do for you today?" I say in a casual tone

"Can I get a number 6 large with a Dr.Pepper to drink please?" Came the static voice in my headset

"Alright one large number 6 with a Dr.Pepper, that will $7.29 at the first window," I say as I enter his stuff in

I wait for a second and I see a car pull up I look back at the screen

"Alright $7.29 please," I say and I look at the person and my heart dropped

"Merda," I say as surprised blue eyes look at me

"Nico?" Will asks and I stare at him for a second and take out my card and swipe it and handed Will the receipt

"I paid for your food see you at home" I say

"Wait wh-" I close the window and I hear a beep signaling someone pulled through and I continue my job

I could feel starting at me for a bit until someone pulled up behind him and he had to move up and get his food

"Probably came here before his night classes" I mumble as I continue my job

Jason makes me leave a few hour before my original shift started and said to to take it easy for 2 days

I change my clothes in the bathroom and decided to buy me something to eat

I get in line and Jason takes my order and I go to pay someone leans over me and tells Jason its on him

I turn around and my eyes widen

Will looks at me and smirks a little "you paid for my order" He said and smiles a little

I blush and look away and I see Jason smirking a little and he hands me my food and winks and I flip him off real quick and follow Will out the door

"Did you wait for me?" I ask him following to the car

"Class got cancelled that's why I got McDonalds so yea I had nothing else to do" He said getting in

I frown and get in quietly I worked 6 more hours after he came through the drive through

He starts the car and drives out of the parking lot then spoke

"So working at McDonalds is the big secret?" He teases and I blushed

"You go to school to save peoples lives I work at restaurant that gives people obesity and high cholesterol, not much show as a great career." I mumble eating a chicken nugget

I notice a frown on his face and he passes our street and turns on the a different road

"What are you doing?" I ask confuse

"I wanna show you something" He says and I look around the area we are driving in

We arrive at an old bar and I frown

"I don't drink and not old enough to" I said and he laughs

"I don't drink either but I brought you here for a differwnt reason. You think working at McDonalds is embarrassing? This was my first job." He says and my eyes widen

"But your barely 21 how did you work here, where you 18?" I know in some places you can be 18 with an alcohol license but its rare

He shakes his head and takes a shaky breath "My mom died when was I was 14, My Dad Became an alcoholic after when I was 15 he lost his job. He had a friend who owned a bar, his name was Rick and since my Dad wanted to stay home and drink he made me work there after school every night and whole time Saturday. His friend hired me only because he knew we where in a financial crisis but let me keep all my tips and he took my check to pay our bills and gave what was left to me so that my father didnt take it for his needs and every night he give me a bottle to give to my father so he wasn't suspicious about me keeping money. He asked me many times if my Dad hurt me and he didn't he just ignored me. I think he only would go to the cops if I was being abused. But I kept the job till my senior year after I graduated I saved up enough money to go to nursing school I quit my job and my Dad friend was the one who came to graduation and told me I could stay with his sister who lived near the school I was attending. I stayed with her until I finished school and got the apartment I live in now. The reason I am telling you this Nico is you shouldn't be ashamed for working at a fast food restaurant because the best people start from lowest places" He says finishing and looks at

I didn't know how to speak, this entire time I assumed he had a great life but he had it bad

"I feel kinda silly for overreacting over my job now" I laugh nervously and he chuckles

"Don't, I get it. But try not to compare yourself to others to harshly okay" He says smiling and I stare into eyes a little to long before turning away and he chuckles again before looking at the old bar with mix of emotions before driving away

As we drive away in a comfortable silence I surprisingly start talking "My Dad kicked me out, thats why I was desperate for a place to stay" I said and he glances at me frowning

"Nico...you don't have to tell me because I sprouted my life story" he said and I shake my head

"No, I want to" I say and he gives me a small smile

"Why did he kick you out?" Will asks

Moment of truth

"Because I'm gay"
