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 "

Brutus whined. "I don't need to see any physician. It's probably some head cold." He mumbled, wrapping his arm around Cassius chest. "I'll be fine. I promise." He closed his eyes, not caring for the early morning. He didn't feel like getting out of bed when everything was so warm and he was cold.

Cassius Shok his head " you go or no cuddles no nothing" "

Brutus sighed. "Fine, but I'm not going now. It's too early in the morning to do anything." He snuggled himself under the blankets further, shivering from the cold. He curled into himself, feeling too out of it to get out of bed. "I'll do it later in the day." He mumbled.

“ in a couple hours Brutus. That’s it.” He said sternly and cuddled into his soon to be husband. Cassius held tight to the other and kissed his neck softly, mostly for comfort but also to distract his mind and his lovers

Brutus sighed. "Fine, but I need more sleep." He yawned and rubbed his eyes. It may have been early morning, but he felt exhausted. He fell asleep as Cassius cuddled into him, liking the warmth he gave Brutus. He didn't want to do much of anything, but the great Brutus couldn't get around one Cassius.

Cassius sighed, eventually falling back asleep as he wrapped himself into his lovers arms. Comfortable at last,Cassius slept like a rock. He didn’t hear Messala come into his room to ask for his morning meal, though the boy was a bit scarred for life as he went right back out

Brutus woke up and groaned. He got himself ready and went out to go to the doctor. He came home after a while, and flopped in bed. “Dear gods, I’m tired.” He muttered to himself and later there like a sack of potatoes.

“ so, the problem is?” he asked and held Brutus. He was clearly worried once more. “ I wish for my soon to be to stay alive until we wed. “ he joked to lighten the mood

Brutus played dead for second then smiled. “I’m not going to die. I’m apparently sick with a cold… and you need to insulate this room more.” He joked, tackling Cassius. “You need to stop worrying so much. I told you it was nothing.”

Cassius laughed and wrapped his arm around brutus’s neck “ I could warm you in other ways~” he teased, sticking his tongue out. “ there's a few things I haven't done yet,”
