Jedtavius Fluff

Can I Hold Your Hand?

Ever since the night at the British Museum, things had been different between the two miniatures. Octavius had all but told Jedediah about his feelings for him. And Jedediah had taken Octavius' hand by the end of it, but did that mean anything? The two had just finished dancing on the records at Ahkmenrah's party celebrating the fact that he was going to stay in New York with them. The two get off of the record, and Jedediah's hand bumps into Octavius'. The two look down at their hands, and then at each other.

"Can I take your hand, Jed?" Octavius asks softly.

"Sure, Octy." Jedediah mutters as a reply, a blush creeping up his cheeks.

Octavius takes Jedediah's hand and pulls them to the corner of the DJ table. Ahkmenrah looks down and sees the two of them at the side. He offers his hand and brings the two of them to the floor. The two of them head to their car, still holding hands. They get into the car, with Jedediah in the driver's seat of course. Jedediah reaches over and grabs Octavius' hand once more. Jedediah starts the car, and the two of them start to drive around the museum. They pass Teddy and Sacajawea, they pass Lancelot, much to Jedediah's disdain.

"Why did you complement the knight's eyes anyways? It was my hand that you asked to hold." Jedediah questions.

"I wanted to make you jealous, which I clearly did. I thought that if I made you jealous, you would tell me if you liked me or not." Octavius deadpanned.

The car comes to a stop. Jedediah looks over to Octavius and just stares at him.

"What?" Jedediah shouts.

"You heard me, my dear friend. Do you feel the same about me as I feel about you?" Octavius replies.

"Yes."

Octavius' eyes soften more than they usually do while he looks at Jedediah. He places his hand on the others' cheek. But, the cowboy is the one to lean in and kiss the roman. The kiss ends quickly, and Jedediah starts driving almost immediately after, leaving Octavius in slight shock that the other actually kissed him.

"Do you actually like me? I didn't think that was allowed in your time?" Octavius finally gets out, his shock wearing off.

"Us here in the museum are a lot different than our own times, and you know that. Me and the boys don't really care about people being gay, and you do know that some of my boys and your men are dating right?" Jedediah replies, still looking forward while driving.

"Wait, some of the people in our dioramas are dating each other."

"You are really an idiot sometimes, you do know that Octy."

Jedediah takes a glance over at the roman. The two of them smile and the cowboy stops the car. They were back in the Hall of Miniatures. Jedediah gets out and walks around the car, and opens Octavius' door. He grabs his hand and they walk over to the rope up to the Roman Diorama.
