Night of Magic

Second Night

Nathan was more than relieved to have found himself back inside the Egyptian exhibit.

But the minute he put one foot over the threshold, the Anubis guards pointed their spears in a threatening manner at him. Oh shit not again... he groaned inwardly raising his hands up to present himself in a non-lethal manner. He began explaining that he wasn't a bad person at all, just wanting to speak with Ahkmenrah when he heard the harsh command from the Pharaoh himself. At that, the guards instantly backed off in which he sighed with pure relief.

"I knew you would be returning," he said, that warm smile crossing over his face as he stepped out of the shadows at the end of the room. "I have been waiting patiently for you."

His bandages were on him again it seemed making Nathan tilt his head to the side with a frown. "Those bandages...don't you want out of them?"

"These things?" Ahkmenrah let out a weary sigh. "What's the point in taking them off every night if I'm only to wear them again?"

"But it must feel suffocating in them. Doesn't it make you uncomfortable wearing these for so many years?"

"I've grown used to it." He said giving a one shouldered shrug.

"Seriously?" A sigh escaped past Nathan's lips as he stepped forward, gently putting his hand on the other male's arm who seemed to freeze at the touch. "Come on: At least let me get some of them off, can't be good for your skin. I heard it can suffocate."

Tenderly as possible, he slowly begins to unwrap the Pharaoh's bandaged arm inch by inch with the guards watching him closely behind still. Bit by bit he begins to see what Ahkmenrah's body, looks like without those things on him. "Whew...there we go. Uh, I'm not weirding you out or anything right?" He asked suddenly, a tint of red dusting across his face thankful that it's dark enough to where Ahkmenrah can't see it.

A chuckle escapes past the other male's lips. "If I was I'd let you know wouldn't I? You may continue."

Ahkmenrah can't help but notice how careful Nathan is being with him. It's been far, far too long since he's encountered a person quite like him before. The teenager's hands began shaking ever so slightly in which he soon covers them with his own unwrapped ones, Nathan looks up at him in surprise, but gives a small thankful smile before carrying on to his torso area. A shudder escaped his lips when Nathan's slightly cold hands brush against his skin having not been used to human touch in many years.

"Alright and...there you go." He unwrapped the last of the bandages around his neck, arms and legs smiling in approval.

Although he didn't know it, Ahkmenrah actually did see his face redden when he had reached his legs grinning at the other's reaction as he started putting his regular clothing on.

They had horrible fashion sense back in the day

Lydia Emerson's words flashed in his mind making him almost laugh. Oh, if she saw how attractive Ahkmenrah looked in them...wait.

Attractive?

His face dusted an even brighter shade at his thoughts. Now, he wasn't going to deny and say he never found other guys attractive before but it was just such a random thought considering who Ahkmenrah was after all.

C-Calm down Nate. Just calm down...don't act so flustered around him! He's just like any other person you've met well kind of

Ahkmenrah had finally finished putting on his typical clothing going back over to join Nathan who had his mind currently on other things at the current.
