One Night: Jealous

Ahkmenrah frowned as he watched the knight compliment Larry. Didn't the tin man know that the security guard was his and his alone? He frowned more as the two seemed to laugh at a joke, Larry smiling at the man. The only one Larry should be smiling at like that is me, Ahkmenrah thought.

He turned on his heel and went to him tomb sitting down on the bench inside and absolutely not sulking. Ahkmenrah did not sulk. He was a pharaoh, he was way better than some knight, what kind of name is Lancelot anyway. He huffed and fell backwards to stare at the ceiling.

"There you are."

He glanced over at the entrance as Larry walked in. The pharaoh started to smile only to have it stop once he spotted the knight tagging along. He bit back a scowl but sat up and instead put on his kingly smile.

"Hello," he nodded in greeting.

"Lancelot wanted to meet you formally," Larry smiled at the knight who in turn bowed at Ahkmenrah.

"It is an honor to meet the ruler of this establishment. I have come to pledge my alliance to you if you may ever need it as well as my protection," the man told him.

"Erm...thank you but I am covered in the guard department," Ahkmenrah motioned to the two Jakal guards stationed outside the tomb.

"One can never have to many guards," Lancelot pointed out with a smile. "Perhaps I can assist you Larry?"

"I could always use an extra set of hands," the security guard nodded.

"Larry could I speak with you...alone?" Ahkmenrah crossed his arms over his chest trying to keep his face neutral.

"Can it wait? I wanted to show Lancelot around a bit more since he'll be here for awhile."

Ahkmenrah nodded. "Alright..."

"I'll see you for coffee okay?"

The pharaoh watched the two men walk out of the tomb and crossed his arms over his chest muttering to himself.

"You're turn Ahk."

"Hmm?" The pharoh blinked and looked down at the cards on the table. "Oh. Ehh...do you have any 3's?"

"Go fish," Sacajawea told him. "Are you alright? You're very quiet tonight."

He sighed and glanced to where Lancelot was talking with Larry the two men smiling at each other having a good time. He frowned to himself and looked back down.

"I think I'm just going to go and...I'm just going to get some air." He gave her an apologetic look and wandered towards the hall of miniatures.

"Hey there Ahk," Jeb greeted the youngman. "What brings ya here? You and gigantor are usually joined at the hip."

"He seems to be joined at the hip with his new friend Lancelot..." Ahkmenrah said with a bit more force then he intended. "We haven't spent any time together since he arrived."

Jeb raised an eyebrow. "Are you jealous of tin man?"

"I am not jealous," Ahkmenrah shook his head. "I"m just..." he frowned. Was he jealous? "Don't like that's spending so much time with him."

"So you're jealous," Jeb nodded. "It's nothing to be ashamed about big guy. Happens to all of us."

"Is there any way to get over it?"

"Not really. No."

Ahkmenah frowned. "I'm going to go for a walk..."

He left the smaller male to his town and made his way down the hall tucking his hands into his robes. He side and walked towards the African room smiling as one of the lions came up to him and nuzzled his hand wanting to be pet. He chuckled and obliged.

"Larry has you all tamed to act like little house cats doesn't he," he smiled warmly as he put the large beast. Who in turn licked his hand letting out a growl like meow.

"There you are. I was wondering where you had gone to."

"I've been here." He dropped his hand as the lion went off to join the others. "I see Tin Man's not with you."

"Tin Man? Oh you mean Lance."

"So it's Lance now. Interesting."

Larry frowned. "Is something wrong?"

"No no not at all," Ahkmenrah wanted to slap himself. Why was he acting this way?

"I was hoping you and I could take a walk...I know we haven't been spending much time together and I felt bad about it...but if you're upset-"

"I'm not upset," Ahkmenrah interrupted sighing.

He sat down on the bench. "I just don't like you spending so much time with him. It makes me nervous...Like he's going to take you from me."

"Are you...are you jealous?" Larry asked.

"Jealous?" Akhmenrah answered. "That's what Jeb said too..."

Larry smiled and sat down next to him on the bench. "He's not going to take me away Ahk."

"How can you be so sure?" Ahkmenrah frowned.

"Because you're the only one I want that's why," Larry rolled his eyes and sat down next to him.

Ahkmenrah smiled and kissed him softly. "That's good. Now about that walk," he smirked and pulled the night guard to his feet and towards the tent in the Lewis and Clark exhibit.

"Ahk what are you doing? We can use their tent," Larry looked around blushing. "What if they come back?"

"They're not coming back for awhile," Ahkmenrah nudge him inside. "Go on."

Larry rolled his eyes a bit and looked around before going into the tent the pharaoh king following him in and closing the tent flap.

"Think you'll be able to keep quiet?" Ahkmenrah teased pulling the guard into his lap. "I don't think is as sound proof as my tomb."

"Then aren't we in your tomb?"

"Where's the fun in that?"
