Jedtavius Fluff

The Return

When life had filled Octavius' body he immediately started running through Rome. His men were questioning why he was running so fast but he didn't answer. At the edge of the Roman diorama, Jedediah was standing, having made it over already, thanks to being closer to the front of his diorama.

"Octy!! We're alive!" Jedediah shouts as he pulls the roman into a hug for the first time in a while.

"I cannot believe we are back, that I get to see you again." Octavius mutters into his shoulder.

"I missed you too."

Jedediah doesn't let go when he pulls away from Octavius, choosing to hold his hand. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Everyone in both dioramas gathered around them as they explained that none of them were alive for the past three years.

They both go to the party that is held that night and party hard, although they are saddened by the fact that Larry doesn't show up. An hour before sunrise the party ends and Ahkmenrah gives them a ride back to their dioramas on their hands. They set the two of them down in their respective dioramas.

"Good morning you two, it is great to be back." Ahkmenrah tells them with a smile.

When the two miniatures awaken the next night they are really tired. It was hard on their bodies to be moving again after three years of being frozen. And they also partied really hard. They both still go to the edge of their dioramas though to greet each other.

"Hello Jed." Octavius yawns.

"Hiya Octy, do you want to go take a nap? I'm pretty tired here, partner." Jedediah answers sleepily.

Octavius nods and the two of them head over to the Western Diorama. Jedediah leads Octavius to his tent near the back of the diorama. When the two make it into the tent they nearly collapse. But, they are able to make it to Jedediah's bedroll. Thank goodness that Jedediah had it already laid out. The two of them fall down onto it, not even taking off their extra clothes. Octavius drapes his cloak over the two of them and they lean into each other and pass out.

When Larry enters the museum, it is quiet. He looks around and sees Teddy asleep on his horse, and Tilly reading a book at the information table. He walks up to her.

"Why is it so quiet? Why is Teddy sleeping?" Larry questions her.

"The museum had a party last night and you missed it. Everyone seems really tired so the whole museum is asleep. I think even the miniatures are asleep." Tilly answers without looking up from her book.

Larry sighs and sits down next to her, waiting for his friends to wake up so he can say hello to them all. He had been unable to make it to the party before, because after he sat on the bench a bit he had to go to a lecture.

*****

When the two miniatures wake up, they are cuddling. Octavius leaves featherlight kisses to Jedediah's hair, his hat having come off as they slept. Jedediah turns around and takes off Octavius' helmet and kisses him on the lips. They both smile and get up, to go see if they can bother Tilly not knowing that Larry is there as well.
