Imagine: bonding with Mark over both of your shitty jobs, and then what?

You're both in school, trying to make something of yourselves
You're both working, trying to earn some extra cash
and you're both tired
Anyone can see it from a mile away. The glossy stare, the dark circles, and the occasional bump into things (or people). Another Closing Shift for sure. Probably working alone again too, on what was supposed to be a day off. Employers just never seem to give a damn about their workers. Just one more soul to wring dry until it's not useful anymore. Can't confide in coworkers either, they make more of a mess for the real employees to clean up. Wonder which coworker called out this time. No matter anymore, it's a different shift now. Walking like a zombie through the campus. Trading the timecard for homework and exams. The experience remains the same. No rest, no respect. The professors are as unforgiving as the customers. They both forget we are people too. We all go home, they forget the problems they caused while it sticks to us like thorns. It grows and then grows some more.
It eats me alive. Y/n deserves better. I know exactly how they feel. I know exactly because I'm there, sometimes. Being half-Viltrumite has its perks. And we have more in common than they think! If only they'd see! Like I see right now...
I see a saint. How Y/n keeps their patience with boss, coworkers, and customers I have no idea. How Y/n keeps their grades up with multiple classes, assignments, and other responsibilities I have no idea. Customers think they are owed the world and professors think their classes are the only one students are taking.
I wonder if they'll be working again tonight. Mark knows their schedule by now, but it could change at any time. Or maybe it's study time. Mark really hope it's the latter rather than the former. Mark loves seeing his dove in a relaxed outfit in the comfort of their own home. They get really focused and that means Mark can get closer.
Y/n just walked into their next class, as dazed as ever. It's about time he gets to his own too. But not to worry, he'll see them tonight.
