"I mean, uhm, you work for us, so a company credit card to make business related charges on. Like this. You're my bodyguard, I wanted burgers, which makes this a business related charge that you shouldn't be paying for."

"Yes, but I also want to eat, thus it shouldn't be considered a business charge since we are both eating." He chuckles a bit and leans into his chair. He offers a gentle smile to Jared. "It's nothing to worry about. It's just burgers."

"No, it was my idea, so it's a business charge. And besides, if this happens too often it's…it's a lot of money and the business should be shouldering that."

"Even if it was your idea, Jared, I insist it's not a business charge. And even if it does happen "too often" it's fine. I'm in a spot right now where I'm not necessarily worried about it." He shrugged and smiled softly at the other. "So let me pay, hm?"

"No, but you should still have a company card. All this gas for driving me around can be expensive and I don't want to be a drain on your resources, even if you are being paid you're supposed to be reimbursed for these kinds of expenses."

He glanced at Jared again, gently setting his hand on Jared's shoulder. "I promise you, you're not a drain on my resources." He chuckles softly. "I promise Jared, it's fine." Victor runs a hand through his hair before stretching. "With that being said, shall we head in? Or do you just want to go through the drive through and go home?"

"You're not listening, you're supposed to have a company card for this. I don't care if it's not a drain, you still shouldn't be paying out of pocket for all of this." He shook his head a little bit.

"I don't mind, really Jared." He sighed deeply and smiled gently. "Consider it my treat." He replies simply. He turns to face Jared, his eyes soft. "Why are you so concerned about it, if I may ask?"

He frowned faintly. "Because it's…it's company policy. And…I've been staying at your house and eating your food and using your car, and you've got to be paid back for all of that somehow, it's unfair if I don't."

"Or perhaps I'm allowing you to stay as a friend and a guest. It's not unfair, it's by my will." He smiles gently. "I promise it's alright Jared. You don't need to worry about it. I promise." He smiles softly.

"No, but you're my bodyguard." He frowned a little bit. "It's… different."

He paused at that, nodding faintly. He supposed that was true. "I truly don't mind, Jared." He murmured softly. "I'm not worried about it." He offers a gentle smile.

He frowned again. "But it…I don't know." He said quietly.

He hummed and smiled. "Don't know?" His gaze was assuring. He ran a hand through his hair and waited patiently.

He shook his head faintly.

He smiled softly, "Maybe some food would help clear your mind a little?" He tilts his head to the side.

"I guess. Still have to get you a company card, though."

He chuckles softly, "Alright. But for now we'll just enjoy ourselves and relax, alright?" He murmured gently.

"Fine." He let out a faint sigh, running a hand through his hair.

He chuckled and smiles softly. "Alrighty then. Fast food or go inside?" He tilts his head a little bit.

"Uhm, drive through. Please. I… would rather not go inside." Not when so many would recognize him. Know him. Especially after that article.

He nods and glances at Jared before pulling up to the driveway. He didn't blame Jared for not wanting to go inside. "What do you want to eat?" He asks gently. He hummed softly and looks at the menu.

"A cheeseburger and fries. Please."

He nods and orders for Jared and then himself before grabbing his wallet and pulling towards the pick up area. He pays and hands the food to Jared. "Shall we head home then?"

Jared nodded, holding the bag in his lap as Victor drove.

He hummed as he listened to the radio, glancing at Jared for a moment. "Is there anything else you need?" He asks gently.

He shook his head a little. "No. Thank you."

He nods and turns them home, humming along with the radio. He sighed deeply, watching the world around them. He wanted to do something, but he wasn't exactly sure what.

He was quiet, holding the bag and closing his eyes.

He let them sit in silence, turning the radio down a little and just enjoying the ride. They made it home fairly quickly, humming softly as he got out of the car. He opened the door for Jared, a gentle smile on his lips.
