A/N: This was inspired by a post by never-to-see on Tumblr, about Ahkmenrah feeling touch-deprived after 50 years locked in the sarcophagus. This is probably the first of a few pics that will be prompted from the post, but here you guys go!
Jedediah and Octavius had noticed the smile the Pharaoh got on his face whenever someone touched him.
A brush of a hand, and pat on the back, a friendly hug, they all led to a smile - even though it might be small.
Most people wouldn't have noticed, but the pair were so small, they had taken to standing on the desk in the museum lobby, and went about people watching.
"Hey, Ahkmenrah!" Jedediah called to the Egyptian, as he was walking past the part of the desk the pair were standing on.
"Hello Jedediah, Octavius." the Pharaoh nodded his head in greeting.
"Ahk, we were wondering if you might let us sit on your shoulders - so we could see more of the museum? We've tried to with Gigantor, but he got mad at us for some reason."
"Jedediah, you know exactly why Larry stopped letting us ride on his shoulders."
"Ah, yes, Larry had told me about that night." Ahkmenrah laughed. "Of course you can ride on my shoulders."
He put his hands down onto the desk, allowing each miniature to climb onto one. He smiled widely, and placed each man on one of his shoulders.
Jedediah and Octavius sat on each shoulder, and held tightly onto the beads of the Pharaoh's clothing.
They walked around the museum, talking and laughing, the miniatures getting a better view of the building than even before, even when Larry had done the same with them - with Ahkmenrah, he didn't have to check up on every exhibit, so they were free to go wherever.
When it was nearing sunrise, the Egyptian took the pair back to the Hall of Miniatures. Before carrying them to their own dioramas, he placed them onto the back of the bench in the middle of the room.
"Thank you, Jedediah and Octavius, I really enjoyed your company tonight. Would you like to do this again in the future?"
The cowboy and the Roman smiled at the man.
"Of course, Pharaoh, it was a pleasure spending the night with you." Octavius bowed slightly.
"Kiss ass." Jedediah muttered, then raised his voice to address the Egyptian. "We'd love to, Ahk. Tomorrow night okay?"
"It would be splendid." Ahkmenrah took off his crown, and bowed to the two men. "I am very grateful for tonight, more than you will probably know."
"I think we do Ahk, and we're more than happy to be there for you."
The Pharaoh placed his crown back onto his head, and carried the miniature over to their own dioramas.
"I will see you both tomorrow then?"
"Wouldn't miss it!"
"I cannot wait!"

When Larry came into the Pharaoh's tomb to close the lid of Ahkmenrah's sarcophagus, he couldn't help but notice the giant grin on the other man's face.
"What's got you so smiley?" He teased, smiling as though it was infectious.
"Nothing much." the Egyptian looked at the night guard. "I've spent the evening and night with Jedediah and Octavius on my shoulders."
"Oh dear, what did you three do?" Larry was slightly panicked.
"Nothing!" the Pharaoh reassured the man, leaning back into the sarcophagus. "Good morning Larry."
"Morning Ahk." the night guard replied, closing the lid, just as the sun rose.
