HumanAU in which Ahkmenrah and Larry meet at a nigth club

Larry sipped his drink as he looked around. He wasn't entirely sure what he was doing here. The music was to loud, there was hardly any light, his drink was an odd shade of pink. But he had been talked into coming by his friend Teddy. The man insisted he come out with him and his girlfriend for a fun night on the town. Never mind that Larry had a ten year old son and he was way to...old to be in a place like this.

"You seem lost!"

Larry looked over and took a step back seeing how close the man that spoke to him was standing. He was young. Tan skin, black hair and dark brown eyes. He was sweating, the t-shirt he was wearing almost clinging to his chest. He was smiling at Larry showing off a set of perfect white teeth.

"I'm sorry what?!" Larry shouter over the loud music.

"I said you seem lost!" the young man repeated. There was a bit of amusement in his eyes as he looked at him. "Wanna go outside?"

"Sure!"

Larry barely had time to register what was happening before the man slid his hand into his and began leading them outside into the cool air. It felt good and he sighed not really noticing the man still holding his hand.

"You seemed kinda uncomfortable in there," the young man released his hand and crossed his arms over his chest. "First time?"

"You could say that," Larry nodded a bit and put his hands in his pockets. "I cam with a friend and his girlfriend...but I think I lost them to the mass of people. That's why I stayed at the bar."

"Safest place to be," the young man nodded. "I'm Ahkmenrah by the way...most people call me Ahk though."

"Larry...are you from Egypt?"

"Yeah. Here on a school visa. Junior in college earning my degree."

"What are you studying?"

"Ancient history and anthropology." The young man, Ahkmenrah, grinned as he said this. "I hope to lead an expedition into the tombs under the great pyramids. Apparently some of my ancestors were pharaohs."

"Really? That's pretty amazing," Larry smiled.

"Yeah," Ahkmenrah smiled and ran a hand through his hair. "So what do you do Larry?"

"I'm a security guard at the natural history museum...I used to have my own business but it fell through after a few years and well..." he shrugged a little. "It pays the bills and my son enjoys visiting."

"You have a son? Are you married? Wait...you don't have to answer that...sorry I've been known to pry sometimes," Ahkmenrah blushed embarrassed.

"I'm divorced and yeah...he's ten now," Larry smiled. "I get to spend weekends with him."

"I've always wanted kids. My parents are always on my case about finding a girlfriend and settling down," Ahkmenrah toed the ground with his foot. "You think your friends will mind if we grab a coffee?"

"I can always send them a text," Larry found himself answering. "I don't think I could stand another minute in there."

"It's an acquired taste. There's a great place right up the street. They make the best hot chocolate you've ever had."

The two began walking down the street not seeming to notice as they each got closer as they walked or the way their hands would brush together. They came to a stop in front of the large building and Akhmenrah held the door open for him and Larry looked around and stepped inside.

"Where exactly are we going?" he raised an eyebrow. "Because if I didn't know any better this looks like an apartment building."

"You would be correct in that it is...unless you're opposed to the idea of coming to my apartment..."

"Do you really make the best hot chocolate?"

"Why don't you find out," Ahkmenrah took his hand and pulled a set of keys out of his pocket and walked over to the one of the doors. "Sorry about the mess though."

He unlocked the door and led him inside the large and very spacious apartment.

"Clearly you and I have different definitions of a mess, your place is hardly messy," Larry looked around.

"Mind if I take your coat?"

"huh oh sure," Larry nodded and took of his coat and Ahkmenrah hung it up on the hook by the door.

"Make yourself comfortable and I will get that hot chocolate," he told him going to the kitchen.

Larry sat down on the couch and looked around. There were some pictures hanging on the wall, he assumed they weer of Egypt and his family. Travel magazines on the coffee table as well as books on archaeological digs and a few Indian Jone's movie covers. He chuckled a bit at that.

"Here we are," Ahkmenrah handed him a blue mug and sat down next to him. "It's hot so you might wanna blow on it first."

Larry nodded and blew on it carefully before taking a small sip and finding to be indeed the best he'd ever tasted took a larger sip. "It's very good." He held the cup in his lap. "You were right."

"Always am," Ahkmenrah smiled.

Larry rolled his eyes and drank some more. "Is that your family?" he looked over at the picture on the coffee table.

"Yes. My mother, father and my elder brother. My parents are currently in England and my elder brother in Washington DC," he answered drinking his own. "Though I can't say my brother and I get along very well."

"Oh?"

"We have a complicated relationship."

Larry nodded. "Sorry to hear that."

"He's a bit of a dick," Ahkmenrah shrugged smiling. "He's upset because I'm our parents favorite."

"Ah, makes sense," Larry nodded.

The two sat in silence for a bit and drank their hot chocolate before they finished and set their mugs on the coffee table.

"Forgive me if I'm blunt but can I kiss you?"

"Come again?"

"I've been wanting to kiss you for the longest time..." Ahkmenrah answered laying his arm across his shoulders. "So may I kiss you?"

"I...sure..." Larry nodded a little bit.

Ahkmenrah smiled and leaned in kissing him softly. "I'm really glad we met tonight."

"That makes two of us," Larry replied. "How about we try that kissing thing again."

"I think that's a great idea."
