Not a Greek Tragedy

"There's a movie coming out, soon." Mutrray said, looking away from the sky, to adress his purple-skivvied companion.
Jeff opened one eye half-way, and focused, none too intently, on the other man.
Taking this as permission to continue, Murray said, "It's based on the Iliad."
Both Jeffs eyes opened all the way, and drifted to the sky.
Murray knew he had his counter-parts attentioned, not, and went on, smiling ridiculasly wide. "I've read all the books I can find on ancient Greece, you know. I know all the myths."
"So do I," Jeff told him. Had Murray been anyone else, or had Jeff, this proclaimation would have surprised the former. "I've always thought the ancient Greeks had a more realistic veiw of the immortals."
"Gods are fallible?" the red Wiggle asked.
"Exactly," Jeff replied. "And, even great warriors, and heros, can be gay."
"Achilles?" Murray guessed.
"And Heracles," Jeff agreed. "And, if he's counted among the great warrios, Patroclus."
"It is interesting."
"You've heard this speech before. Why'd you bring it up?"
Murray blushed bright red. Jeff looked at him curiously.
"What?" he asked.
"Eh...." Murray had to look away before he was able to form any actual words. "I was actually wondering if you'd like to go see the movie with me, when it comes out. I don't really think Greg and Anthony would be too interested, so it would just be the two of us."
This was something of a new concept. Though the four Wiggles tended to pair off while merely hanging around, at home, they had rarely, if ever, gone to movies, or anything of the sort without all of the other three. Still, it didn't sound like such a terrible idea. In fact...
Jeff smiled. "I'd love to," he said.
Murray turned to look at him, again, and was releived to see Jeff was blushing, as well.
"You would?" he asked.
The smaller Wiggle simply nodded.
Impulsively Murray grabbed him in a bone-crushing. "Oh, thank you!" he cried. "That's wonderful! We'll have great fun!"
Jeff simply laughed, and hugged him back, snuggling into Murray, getting comfortable. He was quite releived when Murray didn't release him- this seemed a wonderful place for a nap.
Before he slipped off to sleep was that he was very glad the other man had brought up the movie, first. It had saved him the trouble of asking Murray, himself.
