POV: You Enter a McDonalds with Bill Gates and Discuss the Harry Potter Series

Chapter One

 We enter the McDonalds together, hand in hand. We have to wait a bit for the line, but I don't really care. I'm with him now. We're in love at last. I look up at him as he orders his normal meal, a McDouble with extra cheese.

"And a large fry for Y/N." He nods his head at the person behind the cash register. We walk over to a table.

We sit down and begin our discussion. "I just don't think it's morally just."
"What are you talking about? Harry Potter is an excellent series." Bill Gates responded. "I see nothing wrong with it."

"Oh, Bill Gates." I mumbled.

Our server approaches us with our food. "It's just so magical, the world feels so vivid."
"The entire Harry Potter series is written by somebody who is actively transphobic. What the fuck, Bill Gates?"

He takes a bite of his McDouble with extra cheese and looks at me directly in my eyes. "Well, you don't know what you're talking about!" He raises from his chair. I see nothing other than aggravation in his eyes. The twinges of love in his eyes he had shared prior to this outing were gone. I felt a bit bad at this realization, but ultimately knew that it was better that I knew he was like this before we made things serious.

"Well. I think this is over." I picked up my bag and started to leave the McDonalds. He looked back over at me and I could feel his eyes stinging the back of my head. My heart began to sink, especially knowing I'd crossed the country for this opportunity and that I'd have to inevitably find a job elsewhere.

As soon as I'd left through the door, Bill Gates left with me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I turned to him. "Look. I'm sorry, okay?"

"How can you be sorry for that?" I looked off into the distance rather than back at him. I grabbed his hand and took it off my shoulder, and walked away.

I never saw Bill Gates again.
