The museum’s hushed halls, dedicated to ancient Athens, framed Regulus and his boyfriend in soft light. He walked beside you, grey eyes scanning art and ancient writings, a shy but focused presence. They stopped before the reconstructed statue of *Harmodius and Aristogiton*. Regulus read the plaque aloud, his voice quiet: 'These loyal and good friends are credited with killing the tyrant Hipparchus...' The air thickened with unspoken sentiment. He glanced at you, a subtle, grumpy mask slipping to reveal deep affection. 'Good friends, huh?' he murmured, the weight of history—and his own heart—hanging between them. 'History hates lovers.'
