"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" Roger asked as they left a small cafe on Percy Street. Brian liked Roger better in the sun than the dim corner of the restaurant. His hair looked golden in the bright light and his choice of clothes for the outing was practically eye candy. Roger had donned a pair of snug light blue trousers and a white button up that was only halfway buttoned. He wore a pair of pink sparkly sneakers. Brian was certain they were ladies shoes but Roger could carry them off. No question. They turned on to Montague Place.
"I thought we might have a bit of culture while we enjoy some air conditioning..." Brian answered as they strolled down the street and the sun began to radiate its heat down on them.
"Buckingham Palace is the other direction..." Roger said to be cheeky. Brian smirked at him as they kept walking. Roger soon caught sight of a building he rarely saw in his daily London life. The Greek facade of the British Museum crept into view. "We're going there?" Roger asked.
"We are..." Brian confirmed. Roger noted Brian picking up speed in his gait and he walked faster to keep up with his long stride. They were soon at the doors and stepping inside the massive structure. Roger looked around and felt a little out of place here. He walked beside Brian but was quiet as he reached for a map of the layout. "Have you ever been here?" Brian asked he noted Roger taking in the grandeur.
"I came here once in school...a day trip..." he replied.
"What do you remember from it?" Brian asked as he walked into an exhibition room full of ancient Egyptian sculpture. Roger thought for a moment.
"To be honest...the armor...the swords and such..." he paused and grinned at Brian. "And all the tits!" he said audaciously. Brian chuckled at his remark and grabbed his arm to pull him along as they moved quickly through the Egyptian artifacts.
"Let's look at the Roman room..." Brian suggested. Roger followed him and almost felt goosebumps at how cool the museum was. It was a nice change from his stuffy flat. So was the atmosphere and the company. The air was cool. Being with Brian was cool. The blond let the tall man lead him around. "Look at this!" Roger commented quietly as he pointed at a statue of the Roman Emperor Augustus. Brian walked over to see.
"What about it?" Brian asked and Roger giggled and pointed at his hair.
"I remember seeing this in school..." he commented. "I said that he could have been a Beatle!" Roger remarked with an infectious grin. Brian smiled at him. Finding him cute and almost childlike. He figured Roger must have visited in his teens.
"Augustus would have been a bit too old to be a pop star..." Brian countered and Roger shoved at him playfully. Brian took hold of his arm. "I'll show you something more interesting..." he said and looked around to see if anyone else was in the room with them. There was a young woman in the far corner sketching so he walked over to the display he wanted to show the blond.
"What?" Roger asked and Brian pointed to a silver drinking cup encased in a clear display box. You could walk around the entire case to view all sides. Roger took a cursory glance and wondered what was interesting about an engraved cup.
"Look closer..." Brian suggested. Roger took another step and looked at the figures etched in the silver. His eyes widened when he realized it was a scene of two men and one of the men was seating himself on top of the cock of the other. They were having sex. Gay sex! It took him by surprise. He turned and looked at Brian.
