If it was true, then Brutus hadn't just assassinated Caesar.
A sort of realistic look at Caesar/Brutus. Maybe. For 15minuteficlets challenge #60.
It's really sort of funny, he thought, that Caesar could have been his father. No, not could have been. Might have been. Gods, his own fucking father. They were only fifteen years apart; it was not completely impossible. In fact, given Caesar's reputation, it was actually quite plausible.
So he hadn't just assassinated the king. He had committed two more heinous, atrocious, unspeakable crimes, and if he weren't already damned, sentenced to eternal torment in Tartarus by the Three Judges, he would be now.
And Brutus had loved him. Brutus had loved him in a way no man should ever love another man, in a way no man could love another woman, in a way even the Achaeans would have disapproved of, fond as they were of erastes-eromenos relationships. He had broken the law for his fucking father.
Of course Caesar wouldn't have stopped him, not even if Brutus were his own fucking son. They had probably committed incest and not only that, but Brutus had gladly let Caesar fuck him, breaking the law prohibiting intercourse between two males. His own father.
And now, he had just most likely committed patricide. He had killed his own father for a few ideals in which he had believed. It wouldn't have been so bad, Brutus supposed, if Caesar had just been his lover. Not like that wouldn't have hurt, because it did, but he had just assassinated who was most likely his father, and not just his father, but his fucking lover as well.
Not even the gods could help him now.
