Austin gave the brunet a small smile, agreeing with him. Paella was a dish best eaten hot and fresh. Rice never tasted good once it hardened. And it wasn't even hard to make, just required some less common ingredients. He bit down on his lower lip, suppressing a smile at the kiss to his cheek. How was Adrian so sweet? How could a rich, good looking guy be single? Surely he had a line of willing men wanting to share his bed, his life.<br/><br/>Though maybe his trouble performing in the bedroom had something to do with it. Auz was no stranger to that sort of thing though. His last real relationship had started off with something similar. Micah, his ex, had had a bad experience with<i>his</i>previous partner, and it had transferred to his relationship with Auz. Having sex on your back with a fresh tattoo led to a painful, bloody time. Micah had never gotten over hurting his partner and as a result, it had affected his ability to become aroused and finish. It had taken Auz patience and lots of gentle encouragement but he had coaxed Micah out of his rut eventually. So maybe he was no expert, but he wasn't stumbling blind into it either.<br/><br/>"I could definitely eat," he replied, making sure the food was cooked properly before plating it. It had been a while since he'd had any paella, and he was looking forward to it. "Do you have anything to go with this? Traditionally, it pairs nicely with a dry rosé but we don't have to be so fancy. Any sort of soda would be good too." Austin was perfectly happy with Sanpellegrino or anything, really.<br/><br/>Although his family has never been poor, they weren't exactly rolling and either. He'd grown-up with a full belly from a warm kitchen, and a full heart from a large family. He knew what really mattered at the end of the day.
