Even if Asher didn't realise it, Ray was just trying to help. As much as he disliked him smoking, Ray hated seeing him so stressed and unsettled all the time even more. So while he couldn't in good conscience encourage Asher to puff his merry way to cancer town, he was willing to try other options.

Even if one of those options involved him getting repeatedly hit in the head.

"Rules. Number one, nothing below the belt." Ray ducked under the ropes and into the ring. "Nothing unpleasant anyway. Rule number two, I'm walkin' outta here with all of my teeth still inside my mouth, okay? And number three," he bashed his boxing gloves against his skull, "no making fun of my head guard."

Ray knew he was getting played.

He pushed his hands up to Asher's chest to steady himself as he leaned back down. Sometimes he and Asher had different ideas of fun and in this case, playing dumb was one of Ray's.

"Scrabble...?"

"Otherwise known as the lamest board game in history," he said, moving his hands to rest on Ray's thighs.

"Upwords. All the boredom of Scrabble with a twist."

"Only one problem with that," Ray whispered as if to let Asher down gently. "We don't have Upwords."

Perhaps the boredom of Scrabble would be enough of an incentive for them to make their own fun. Ray still didn't rate his chances of persuading him though, if a crappy board game was all he had up his sleeve.

"Great. Just when I thought the day couldn't get any worse," Asher drawled, not bothering to actually hide the fact that he wasn't really too torn up about it.

"We'll figure something out."
