āSo, steak?ā Sirius asked, staring at the butcher case, not being able to tell heads or tails of all the different cuts. All he could tell was that there was steak (some in the shape of hearts for Valentineās Day), chicken breast, bacon, and then everything else was a mystery that he assumed only grandmas knew how to cook.
āWhatever you usually get,ā James answered, wandering off to grab more free cheese samples while Sirius waited in line.
āSo whatāll you have?ā the butcher asked another customer.
āIāll take two pounds of chicken wings, one of your beef tongues, and the biggest pork butt you have; that one near the front.ā
Sirius turned, intrigued by the manās deep raspy voice, and was struck by the sight of the drop dead gorgeous man. He was tall with wide shoulders, and a slim frame that Sirius wanted to wrap an arm around while tangling his fingers in the head of his dark golden curls. His gaze trailed down to a perfectly curved ass andā¦.damn. He stared for a bit before his brain started to work again.
āSay, what are you going to do with that huge piece of meat?ā
The man turned, but when he went to open his mouth to respond, his jaw fell open and his eyes went wide.
Sirius grinned, happy to have had the same effect on the man that he was experiencing himself. He knew from experience that his dark features, long hair pulled back into loose bun against his strong model-like features usually meant he didnāt experience much rejection. Of course, his signature look of tight skinny jeans and leather jacket didnāt hurt either.
āUh, the pork butt?ā the man blurted out.
āYeah, I mean, I love butts, but have never cooked a piece of pork that big.ā
The angelās cheeks flooded with color and he looked down when he blushed. Sirius knew right then that he was totally fucked.
āUm, yeah, so I create a brine with cayenne, paprika, and apple cider vinegar, and let it sit in that for a day, then take it out, and let it dry out in the fridge overnight, before I cut a diamond pattern on the skin. I cover it in spices and then smoke it for twelve hours over low heat and hickory wood,ā the angel described while waving his hands, his eyes sparkling with joy and confidence, āthen I let it rest for a bit while I heat up my homemade hot sauce, I shred the whole thing, and serve it in my handmade corn tortillas with some homemade onion pickles and slawā.
Siriusās mouth was watering, not just from the description of the most delicious homemade meal heād ever heard of, but from the beautiful creature describing it with so much passion; it made his heart swell.
āMarry me.ā he blurted out, regretting the outburst instantly.
The blush returned in full to the man with the soft looking curls.
āUmā¦no.ā Ā he said, grinning as he took his parcels from the counter.
Sirius had never felt this embarrassed in his entire life. Ā He was usually Ā pretty smooth, and now he had gone and scared this man off before he even got his name.
āā¦but if you buy the beer, you can come over and help me eat thisā¦.if you want?ā
The man looked up through his eyelashes at Sirius with a shy grin.
āYes!ā Sirius exclaimed, a little too excitedly, causing the other man to give a light laugh. āI mean yeah, what kind of beer do you like, cute butt?ā
āCute butt? Youāve got to be kidding me.ā
āNope, Iām Sirius.ā
