I was pondering some things for the next chapter of Homecoming, and along the way, started thinking about Brian and food.
This little piece of pondering is the result.
In itself it's meant to be light hearted enough, but it certainly raised some interesting thoughts about Brian.
The problem is that, unlike Justin, Brian simply doesn't like to eat. He has favorite foods, tastes he enjoys, but he regards every mouthful as a potential weakness. And Brian hates being weak. For him, eating can only be justified as a utilitarian activity. Refuelling is acceptable; anything else is indulgence. And while in Brian's mind apparently limitless indulgence in sex, drugs and alcohol is okay, for some reason he's absolutely Puritanical about eating. Justin marvels sometimes that his partner's not outright anorexic, he's so obsessively determined not to enjoy food.
Brian just doesn't like eating.
Except Justin, of course.
