"I'll get it." He wants Guy to know, for sure, that Julian is serious about this. Willing to work for it. That Julian...loves him? Maybe. Wants desperately to love him, and knows he one day will? Definitely. He's not going to content himself with passive acceptance of these intense feelings Guy has kept to himself as he romanticizes the man he never pursued. This is a very concrete, very tangible way to present himself and his sincerity in this, and taking the initiative unexpectedly might throw Guy for a loop, jar him from his fantasy so he knows how real this is. Julian can woo, too. He can even seduce.

Julian pours the wine--a ruby-red sangiovese, dry and not too sweet. He has a bottle of rich, sweet port to go with dessert later, kept in hiding for the moment.

"There. Hope you like it." He sits, waiting for Guy to take the first bite with a look of vicarious anticipation.
