Gio bit his tongue and looked up at Sirius "As long as I don't put pressure on my 'back' I think I'll be fine at the table... with a pillow at least it'll be better." Gio said as he stood up after giving Misha the last piece of chicken.

Gio went over to the dining table and smiled as he turned to look back at Sirius "Do you want me to put my shirt back on... Or are you okay with me being barely dressed at your table?"

[hockeypreg2]

"You look fine to me," Sirius said, getting him a pillow for the chair. "We are not fancy at Chez Sirius."

Sirius fixed up two bowls, carrying them over to the table before going back into the kitchen to get sriracha. "I like it with some of this to give it a kick but taste it first."

He lifted Misha onto his lap so she could sit at the table as well. She liked being wherever he was.

[Sam260]

Gio did as requested and tasted the meal that Sirius had set out. With a nod and a smile, Gio continued eating it slowly "Doesn't really need the sriracha. I am not a big fan of super spicy things anyway." Gio said quietly.

He wanted to say something about the unsanitary conditions of letting a dog sit at the table, but he kept his mouth shut on the subject "So what is it that you do with your life, Sirius? I know you mentioned writing, but I am curious to know what it is you write..."

[hockeypreg2]

Sirius picked out a few pieces of chicken, setting them aside before adding sriracha to his food. "Do you want the sanitized version I tell the public or the truth?"

He fed Misha the bits of chicken, cooing at her softly. He was well aware of how ridiculous he was with his dog, but if Gio was going to date him, he would learn eventually.

[Sam260]

Gio shrugged and plucked a few of the vegetables and the chicken onto his fork "Both versions. I think it'd be funny to hear what you say to the public and what you say when speaking honestly." Gio said with a smile.

[hockeypreg2]

"I write queer literature," Sirius said, taking a sip of his water. "And some of it has been published in some very well-known magazines and newspapers. Now, for the fun answer; and mind you it's not all of what I write but a lot of it. I write porn for a living. Most of it queer since I have very little interest or knowledge of heterosexual sex."

[Sam260]

Gio raised an eyebrow in curiosity "I didn't think they published stuff like that in regular magazines or the newspaper... I would be interested in reading some of your pieces... If that's an acceptable request?" Gio asked quietly, continuing to eat the remaining food that he had in his bowl.

[hockeypreg2]

"Like I said, not all of my work is porn. A good chunk of it is legitimate queer fiction, very highly regarded." Sirius finished his food, setting the bowl aside. "I write under two different names so they can't be connected to each other. Which type do you want to read?"

[Sam260]

Gio set his own bowl aside and bit his lip "Both? Maybe one of each so I can get a feel for your writings?" Gio asked as he slowly stood up, grabbing the two bowls and their utensils "I'll clean the dishes for you - if you don't mind..."

[hockeypreg2]

Sirius got up as well, not arguing. He set Misha on the ground. "You're welcome to read anything of mine you want. My brother only knows about the one part of my career though and I'd like to keep it that way. We both like to pretend that we don't know the other one has sex even though he has 6 children and I clearly date."

[Sam260]

Gio laughed as he walked into the kitchen with their dishes - despite being an executive chef now, he did start out as a dishwasher when he was just a teenager at his father's family business, and washing dishes was one of his 'better' qualities; he wasn't much of a super-neat-freak like some people were, but he did an excellent job nevertheless.

When he was finished he came back out into the living room where Sirius was and slowly sat down on the couch, putting a comfy pillow half under his ass and the other half behind his back "Your brother is rather... reserved when it comes to talking about anything remotely sexual - Even at the restaurant after we have closed, when we talk about it in a regular way... He tells us to stop and get back to work..." Gio said as he flicked imaginary dirt from his fingernails "Are you as sexually repressed as he is... when it comes to talking about it?"

[hockeypreg2]

Sirius snorted and shook his head, spreading his arm out along the back of the couch so it was resting behind Gio. "Hardly. Sex is a natural thing. Silas seems to think that it is something that he should only ever talk about with his husband and clearly no one should ever think about it in his presence. And, as I said, I write porn. If I couldn't talk about sex, I couldn't write about it."

[Sam260]

Gio licked his lips slowly and nodded his head as he leaned his head against Sirius arm "Well then I'm glad about that. At least one of the Flint men I know won't try and beat me over the head with a frying pan if I say something even *remotely* sexual." Gio shook his head slightly and then looked up at Sirius.

"So, about those articles you were going to let me read?" Gio asked quietly, setting his hand on Sirius' knee and lightly rubbing up and down.

[hockeypreg2]

"Oh you want them now?" asked Sirius, sliding his fingers along Gio's bare shoulder. "I figured I would send you home with them. Give you some reading material for when you're alone."

Sirius wasn't sure how far he wanted to take the flirting. He wanted to do right by Gio and actually date him before sleeping with him but that should be a mutual decision either way.

[Sam260]

"Oh..." Gio said quietly and bit down on his tongue, his tongue ring out and wiggling back and forth as Gio played with the underside of it "Well, I guess that's... a logical thing to do... Yeah." Gio nodded and smiled lightly "We can just chill and talk for now..."

Gio's tan skin was starting to get goosebumps from where Sirius was rubbing his shoulder and it was clearly effecting him in an aroused way as he kept licking and biting at his bottom lip. The blush that seemed to be ever present was there and only getting redder, making his tan skin look even more tan.

[hockeypreg2]

Sirius watched Gio play with his tongue ring and he had to shift on the couch, trying to hide the fact he was getting a little aroused. It wasn't an easy thing to hide so Gio was going to notice eventually.

"So what do you like?" asked Sirius. "Cards on the table. People look at me and make a lot of assumptions about what I want when I have sex so I'm always curious what people want from me and what they want in general."

[Sam260]

Gio continued flicking his tongue ring back and forth with his bottom lip as he thought about the question that Sirius posed; what did he like? Well, there were *a lot* of things he liked, and equally a lot of things he didn't like. He just didn't know how to answer the man's question, specifically.

"I ah... Well I mean... I'm a versatile bottom, essentially. I like being... on the receiving end, but on occasion I do not mind giving as well..." he shrugged his shoulders and looked down at himself "It would be a waste not to use the tools I've been given in both ways... So I try to do it, but if I *had* to choose which position I'd take in the bedroom, I would very likely choose bottom over top." Gio shrugged his shoulders and licked his lips slightly "I love a lot of things about sex, and at the same time, I hate a lot of things about it - I guess you'll just have to find more specific questions to ask me if you want to know more."

[hockeypreg2]

Sirius tapped his fingers against his knee thoughtfully. "I'm mostly a top but do enjoy being on the bottom on occasion so I am happy to hear that you enjoy switching it up. I will be honest with you about something - and it is something that has ended relationships. Not by my choice mind you.

He pursued his lips. "I can be considered intimidatingly large in size. I've had more than one person refuse to bottom. I don't blame them. I wouldn't be able to take me. So if that is something that ends up being an issue, please be honest with me. I'm not going to end a relationship because I can't fuck someone."

[Sam260]

Gio bit his lip and slowly looked down the length of Sirius' body "I ah..." he cleared his throat and blushed a hot red color "I've been around... some pretty large sizes..." Gio admitted quietly and ran his palms across his thighs, looking down at his own lap "I'm not necessarily small either..." He shrugged.

"Ah... Uhm... Can I ask - how 'intimidatingly large' you are, exactly?" Gio asked quietly and looked up at Sirius "For... reference, so I know if I can handle it - if we get to that point in our relationship."

[hockeypreg2]

"I've never measured personally. Tony, I think you met him, said I had to be 12" or so," Sirius shrugged. "And thick to boot. I was a challenge for him."

Sirius tapped his fingers against Gio's shoulder. "How large are you? I might not be able to handle you."
