A/N: Okay this is a two parter. I'm not even gonna lie, I made all of this up as I went along. But still, if you like Jedius, then read it. Anyway, I based it on The Best Thing by DecipherofDarkness75. What would happen if Ahk caught Jed and Octavius making out? T for one frisky scene, only one paragraph, but you can infer making out and second base. Nothing too hard core, I'm too much of a chicken, and like it says in my profile, I don't right Yoai, I write Shounen-ai. This is a sequel to That Night In The Air Vent, so unless you read that one, you might not understand this one. Enjoy. BTW: Both this one and the first one are Pre-Smiithsonian.
This was definately an odd situation. Ahkmenrah was panting and had back his to Larry's office door, which he had slammed and locked behind him. He posture was poor, his feet were pointed inwards, his knees were bent, and we was slouching. Larry didn't know how to approach this situation. "Uuuuuuh, Ahk? Why did you just lock us in my office?"
Ahkmenrah's eyes were frantic. "J-J-Jeeeeeh... O-O-Octa... Ki-... Ro-Ro-Romaaaant..." Larry's eyes grew wide as he reallized why the young pharoh was having a panic-attack.
"Now Ahk, look: I know about Jed and Octavius' relationship." He let the statement linger, Ahkmenrah's face went blank. Then he responded.
"You WHAT!" Ahkmenrah leaned over Larry's desk and planted his hands two feet apart. "You've known about this for Isis knows how long, while I had to go and fetch them and their car before Rexy bit my head off, and caught them half-naked in the middle of a tiny make-out session like two ignorant teenagers!"
Larry's face was blank, now. "Uuuuuuuuuuuh, did they see you?" Larry got his flashlight and headed for the door, ready to make the three men involved in the current situation confront each other.
"Probably! I screamed like a little girl and ran here as fast as I could." Larry opened his mouth but Ahk answered the question he knew was about to escape the guard's lips. "They were multi-tasking. Being intemant while also trying to enter the vent in the hallway linking the main hall and the statue hall."
Larry knew that vent, it was the one where they were 'further arranging their treaty,' a few months ago. It must have become their secret place. "I thought they would have told me by now. It's been three months." He and Ahk were half way to the vent by now. Ahk looked even more confused. "Remember that scavenger hunt I had?" the pharoh nodded his head. "Well after it was over, Jed dissapeared, he ran off to the vent and Octavius found him. I don't know what happened in there, but they went in pals and came out a couple."
"And you... Haven't talked to them yet? I meant about the vent!"
"No, I mean, they aren't ready to tell anyone, so I'm not going to make them. I haven't told anyone else yet, either"
Ahk thought about this. "You are a noble man. To keep such a big secret for such little men." They rounded a final corner and approached the vent.
"Are you ready?" Ahk nodded. Larry knew they was still in there, Jed's hat was on the floor. If he was anywhere else, the hat would be, too. Larry gently tapped his flashlight against the vent door. "Rooooomeoooo? Oh Juuuuulieeeet?"
"Gi-Gigantor? -Octy, stop it." That last part was a loud whisper. "Uuuuh, it's-it's open." Larry gently opened the door. Jed's vest and kercheif were off and his shirt was unbuttoned. Not to mention a suspicious purple mark or two on his neck. Octavius was armorless, his tunic was half on. The skirt stayed in place (thanks to his belt), but his arms bore no straps and the top was pulled down to his waist. They were both visably embarrased. "Okay, now let me explain. We didn't go further than this right her'. We've never gone further than this and this only started last wik'. And w-."
"Jed! I already know. You two have been together since the scavenger hunt. But if you want it to be a secret, you have to be more discreet. Ahk saw you guys. He ran into my office having a panic-attack."
Jed sighed and looked at his love. Octavius stepped forth. "I knew this day would come, my love. Jed, we have to come clean. And not just to Larry and Ahkmenrah, but to everyone." Jed's eyes grew a third larger. "Jed, I know you're scared," Octavius grabbed his love's hands and looked into his eyes. "But together we can take on any obsticle."
Jed was fighting back tears, he seemed to do that a lot around Octavius. He captured the General in a warm embrace. "Alrighty. We- we'll do it tomorra."
The Roman gave the cowboy a small kiss. "I love you."
Jed's smile grew wide. "Ditto!" Octavius laughed at his love's fimiliar slang.
"Well guys, you got ten minutes. Get yourselves together and I'll give you a lift." The two nodded. Jed started buttoning his shirt up and Octavius pulled his straps up and put his breast plate back on. "And Jed?" The cowboy turned, tying the back of his kercheif. Larry handed him the small hat.
"Thank you kindly, buddy."
"No problem." Jed finally got his vest on and they were ready to go. Octavius was too lazy to fiddle with the chin strap of his helmet, so he just held it for the ride back to the dihorammas. "Good night guys."
He turned to leave with the pharoh, but paused at the call of a fimiliar voice. Ahkmenrah contined home to his own exhibit. "Gigantor?" Larry turned and got close. "How did you find out?"
"I've known you guys were going to end up together waaaaaaaaaaaaay before you actually started dating. But you two seemed a lot more relaxed after the vent thing. I just kinda figured it out." Octavius had already left, so Jed took advantage of the last seven minutes of the night. He asked if he could come along with Larry. "Hop on."
Larry was headed over to the PA to give the five minute warning. "I'm scared, Gigantor. I'm scared about coming clean." This shocked the guard. Jed had never been been scared, at least not around him. "What will they say. We're both layders, but if my people find out, they'll shun me. And what about Octavius? He's a military Gen'ral. What if he loses his job? I care about him too much to let anythin' happen to him. Damn it, Gigantor, I love that lil' skirt-wearin' bastard!" Jed fell flat on his back in Larry's palm, with his hat covering his face.
"Five minutes, people! Get back into your places!" Larry turned off the microphone and turned back to the desk, where he had sat the cowboy. "Yeah, people might be shocked, but if you really do love him, you're gonna have to look past the stares, and the words. You'll have to fight for what you love. You'll have to fight the jerks that don't want and Octavius to be togethter."
Jed thought about this. Larry was right. He stood up and got back into Larry's palm. "Well then riddle me this, Gigantor: How do we do it?"
