Work Text:
Issac wanted to die.
He didn’t know why his manager chose HIM to cover, not like he was complaining about the extra money, but come on — who wants to work 10 hour shifts for fucking McDonald’s?
His legs ached and his arms longed for the warmth of his boyfriend, so cute and eager to please, it was adorable and thinking about it was not helping Issac through this shift. The thoughts made it worse, thinking of how he could be in Raphael’s dorm, kissing him and teasing him about how much taller Issac was…
“Wow dude, you’re staring into space, you thinking about a girl back at home?” One of his co-workers asked, clapping Issac on the back, he wasn’t bothered to learn this man’s name, Issac thinks it was Jackson or something equally infuriating.
“A girl?" Issac asked, looking over at his co-worker "something like that” Issac said in reply, shrugging off the touch uncomfortably as a blush spread over his cheeks, Jackson or whatever his name was simply snickered and walked away.
So close.. Issac though, only another half hour until he could clock out and break into Raphael’s dorm, probably steal all his leftovers- Fuck, he was hungry, he could go for some of Riku’s cooking, that man could make Gordan Ramsey cower… Not the point! He had a shift to finish and … sixteen customers to serve, that was fine.

Issac thinks he just lost 20 years from his life, 10 hour shifts were not for the weak, after dragging himself to the bus-stop, crying because they stopped running, and walking to his campus, he made it, he reached Raphael’s dorm.
He felt like Odysseus.
He knocked, just soft, he heard someone scrambling to open the door, he heard that cute French accent, his love calling out “coming!” As the footsteps got closer and the door opened. There stood Raphael in all his tired, crackable, glory.
“Hey,” Issac said with a soft smile, acting like he hadn’t been crying over this a hour ago. “Hey.” Raphael said back, quickly ushering Issac inside, locking the door when the taller stepped in.
“You stink.” Raphael said pointedly, trying to sound annoyed, but the grin on his face suggested otherwise. Issac didn’t even smell that bad, it was just funny to see the reactions. “Wow- rude, I can’t even see my love without being bullied” Issac said dramatically, freeing himself of the confines of his jacket, mumbling something about it being cold outside.
“I’m not bullying you, simply stating a fact, dumbass” Raphael shot back with a quiet laugh, leading Issac towards the bedroom, the taller not even noticing as he quietly complained about work and his asshole co-workers.
“You look tired” Raphael said quietly when Issac finished talking, moving his hands to cup Isaac’s face. “Come get some rest, you can steal my food later” He added on teasingly.
Raphael yelped when he was pushed onto the bed, making another annoyed noise (that sounded suspiciously sexual, but we’re gonna give Raphael grace and ignore it) as Issac collapsed on-top of the shorter “You asshole!” He complained with no real bite, burying his face in Issacs neck and relaxing into the touch.
“..’m sleepy” Issac mumbled quietly, relaxing when he felt Raphael hug him gently “Then sleep, okay?”
