Larry, desperate to handle the chaos of the museum, had decided to organize a movie night to try bring some harmony to the rowdy exhibits.
After Nick chose a movie, he thought all the exhibits would at least mildly enjoy the inhabitance of the museum settled down to enjoy the film.
Jed had driven the car up to the front of the crowd, Octavius sitting stiff in the passenger seat still nervous of Jed's driving
Jed stopped the car, deciding for a few moments before stepping out of the vehicle.
“cm’on pard’ner it’ll be a better view from the roof” Jed smiled at Oct through the car door
“What do you mean the roof?” Octavius called after him seeing Jed scrabble onto the top of the jeep his foot kicking through the window
Octavius quickly followed him up seeing Jed sitting his knees draw to his chest, perched onto of the car
Octavius couldn't help noticing how beautiful he looked in the light of the movie, the way it made his blue eyes sparkle as the colors swam over his face.
Oct sat down stretching his out stiff legs staring up at the screen the image of Jedediah still dancing Infront of his eyes.
Jed kept shifting, partially because he couldn't get comfy his belt dug in at a weird angle and his chaps were twisted awkwardly but mostly because he was sat so close to a certain roman.
He looked over at Octavius the way his armor glinted in the light made him look almost magical his deep brown eyes transfixed on the movie ahead
playing with the fingers of his gloves in his lap, the movement causing Octavius to turn to look at him.
Jed looked away quickly; he could feel himself blushing Octavius’ eyes on him.
Octavius smiled to himself staring at Jedediah who was blushing like mad having pulled his hat off to twist it in his hands.
Octavius, his instincts getting the better of him, put an arm around the cowboy's shoulders and pulled him to lean against him.
Jedediah gasped at the contact felling Octavius’ strong arm around him before melting into the touch of the roman, sighing and flopping into Octavius’ lap.
He felt Octavius go stiff beneath him before relaxing and putting his hands down to rest one on Jedediah's waist the other moving to carefully pet his hair.
Jed hummed happily under Octavius’ caring touch “hmmm, ya know ya make a good pillow ockie”
