Jedidiah and Octavius had been dating for two and a half years. Many of the exhibits weren't very accepting at first, especially because of their time periods, but they eventually grew fond of the relationship and supported Jed and Octavius through thick and thin. The two were so in love it was hard not to be in love with their mutual affection. And Jed had a plan. Today, on their anniversary of two and a half years, Jedidiah was going to propose to Octavius.
They couldn't have an official wedding, it wasn't like anyone could officially marry them, but Jed wanted nothing more than to give Octavius the best day of his life. Nothing would get in the way of his love for that Roman general.
He had it all planned out. He had convinced Ahkmenrah to let him take a little piece of the tablet to make a ring, which he spent weeks on making. It's not like Octavius could just wear a normal wedding ring. And today he was going to propose. He was so nervous. But the idea of spending the rest of his afterlife with Octavius made him smile from ear-to-ear. There was nothing that he could possibly want more.
The two had planned to walk around the museum together as their romantic anniversary date. As lame as it might sound, there wasn't much to do for dates around the museum, especially for Jed and Octavius. They couldn't go get coffee or a fancy dinner. They could have Larry sneak them into a movie, but that wouldn't leave much privacy. So they walked. Oddly enough, Jed had grown fond of the peace and quiet. After all, he knew it made Octavius happy, and Octavius's smile made him feel like he would never be sad ever again.
The two met up, greeting each other excitedly.
"Jedidiah, my love!"
"Ockie! Happy anniversary, baby."
"Happy anniversary to you, too. It feels like just yesterday that I realized a loved you, and just a second ago I confessed that love."
"I was shocked that you felt the same way, Ockie. Oh man, I love you so much!"
"Not as much as I love you, Jed."
"Ready to walk?"
"Of course, my liege."
And off they went, talking and holding hands.
