" has to do what ever the partner says for a day" he said and smirked, " but what game darling?" He asked, toying around with Brutus through the toga

Brutus scrunched his nose up and smiled through his teeth. “Deal!” He grabbed Cassius by the shoulders. “We may not be in a ring, but how to you feel about boxing?” Something about the twinkled in his eyes said he was experienced in boxing. “It would be fun.”

" I could try, I'm a swords men, not hand to hand combat."

Brutus shrugged. “I don’t not feel like playing swords. Everyone plays swords. I want you to strike me!” He got overly excited at this idea. “I want to see you try. I bet you can’t.” He was trying to rile Cassius up.

Cassius chuckled and led Brutus out into the living room, putting his hands up and showing he was ready

Brutus smiled and swung for Cassius face. He dearly hoped the man could deflect a hit because he couldn’t fix any damage he caused. If he needed to, could try to stop the hit from connecting, but he doubt it.

Cassius’s pupils dialated quickly as he moved fast, in seconds Cassius was behind Brutus and nailed a shot to his back. “ well that was a lot easier then it looks “ he said softly

Brutus coughed, instinctively kicking Cassius in the stomach like a horse. Damn that hurt. He started to cough a lot, struggling to catch a breath. “Ca–Cass.” He was panting after his cough attack, glaring at Cassius. “Cassius..”

“ ah! A..sorry, brutus are you okay?!”he yelped and rushed to check over Brutus for severe injury “ Brutus, have I hurt you too much?” he asked tentatively as he checked him over “ m..maybe you should lay down?”

Brutus cleared his throat. “I’m fine.” He put his hand to his head. “But you should never go for the back.” He grumbled and started to move to the bedroom. “Maybe we should have played chess instead. If you can even play chess, my dear Cassius.” He smirked and entered to bedroom to flop on the bed.

“ so does that mean I have won?” he asked and laid on top of brutus “ you said whoever lost but you never said how someone won either” he said and curled into brutus gently

Brutus stuck his tongue out at him. “I never said you could hit me in the back, but I guess you won.” He started to laugh. “Cassius, you’re not a cat. Do like laying on top of me?”

“ yeas I do, very much” he said and smiled “ you are like a big pillow” he teased and kissed brutus’s neck gently. He loved Brutus very much and didn't want him hurt, so he was upset by his own hand “ I am sorry..”

Brutus huffed. “I am not a big pillow! I could easily turn onto my side thus knocking you off.” He closed his eyes, feeling off. “It’s okay, dear. It wasn’t your fault. I just feel off.” He wrapped his arms around Cassius’ back.

Cassius nodded and sighed “like what kind of off?”he asked and raised his head. He loved his eyes with Brutus and watched his reaction. “ are you sick my dear?”

Brutus turned onto his side, pulling a blanket over him. “I don’t know how to describe it. It’s okay, my chest just hurts.” He nestled his head against the pillow, his arms still wrapped around Cassius’. “The great Brutus doesn’t get sick.” He mumbled.

“ maybe you should have it checked..” Cassius said softly as he nestled into the covers and off of Brutus. He kissed his lover softly “ please my dear brutus,”

Brutus held his arms around his chest. “I’m okay, Cassius, really.” He clung onto the man’s arm, not wanting him to move away. “It’s nothing to worry about. It was probably from the coughing. I don’t have any other ailment, so I’m alright.”

“ love..” he whispered, running his thumb along brutus’s cheek, worried for his partner dearly

Brutus grabbed Cassius by the hand. “Cass, I will be okay. I assure you. Call a doctor tomorrow if I’m not…but there’s nothing wrong.” He blinked open his sleepy eyes and looked at Cass. “Please.. I’ll be alright.”

“ I- alright…” he rolled over and put his back against brutus’s chest as he tried to sleep. He hated the fact that he’d hurt Brutus, only making himself more upset, this game was stupid.. he thought and curled slightly in on himself

Brutus smiled and put his arm around Cass’ waist, pulling Cass closer to him. He wasn’t made a Cassius. He was surprised the swordsman hit him at all. He kissed Cass’ neck from behind. Brutus ran his fingers through his lover’s hair.

Cassius relaxed at his lover's touch, yawning softly as he slowly tried to fall asleep.

Brutus fell asleep against Cassius. He woke early the next morning, coughing up a storm. He took a deep breath, trying not to wake Cassius. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. Then he got back into bed and cuddled Cassius, hoping he didn't wake.

Cassius had but pretended not to, slowly but surely he cuddled back into Brutus " doctor. Today." He said without question. Cassius was serious about what they had discussed" I will come with if you want "
