Gio shook his head and snuggled against Sirius' chest "I feel fine. A little sore, but that is to be expected." Gio said quietly, pressing a tender kiss against the rapidly beating heart in Sirius' chest cavity "You weren't rough at all... I loved it, Sirius, truly and honestly loved it." Gio whispered, closing his eyes as he curled up in Sirius' arms and almost immediately fell asleep with the warmth radiating from the man's muscular body.

[Three Weeks Later:]
Over the course of three weeks it seemed like Gio and Sirius had been an almost inseparable pair - they still hadn't gone out on their first 'official' dinner date yet, but they still hung out with each other constantly. They would spend time at the gym together, where Gio mostly *watched* Sirius working out, instead of working out himself. They would watch movies at either one of their apartments after Gio got off of work, usually Sirius' apartment though, simply because Sirius did have to let Misha out of her crate. To Gio, it was perfect - they were going slow, building up to an exceptionally great relationship already by just getting to know one another as friends, before they took that next step. They also had sex with each other, a few times, since their first time - it wasn't constant and it was almost always spontaneous and completely at random times when hanging out together.
Today, however, seemed to be completely different - Gio was working the dinner rush at Saucer II. Silas, after being on Paternity leave for just a month after the triplets were born, had returned to work, and the relaxed and calm environment that Gio was - stupidly - getting used too, no longer existed. Silas was moody and irrational in his demands. Yelling louder than before, and it was grating on everyone's nerves - customer and staff alike. His yelling, especially. He was so loud, the glasses and cookware that were on the shelves rattled with each boom of his voice, it was impossible to say a word to the man in his current state of mind and mood.
Gio contemplated texting Sidney to find out what the heck had gotten into Silas and why he was acting the way he was, but he thought better of that. Besides, dinner rush was almost over, the Sous Chef and Chef Tournant had both agreed to it before work that they would take over for Gio's duties since he had been practically gushing since he got to work that today was "officially the day" that Sirius was taking him out on their first dinner date - Gio couldn't wait. He was excited, nervous, and just *ready* to enjoy the evening with Sirius and wash away the anger and frustration of the day. It probably wouldn't help that he would be staring at the face of the man who had been yelling at him all evening, but to Gio - he could *see* the minute differences between the two men, and their voices were much different which at this point in the game, was a blessing - Gio needed to hear a different voice coming out of that face after the tongue lashing he, and all the staff, received from Silas and were still receiving.
