My Italian Roommate.

Roomies?

**Five months later**
*Ezio POV*

     I sighed in relief as I set my bags down, leaning against one of the walls as I waited for the elevator. Another mission done and I could finally go home and relax, never did I think this promotion would take so much work but I was grateful. Not only to move up, and take care of all of Italy, but now I could also schedule my days off and say fuck you while I was away and people couldn't say anything. I was grateful for the opportunity to prove myself as I took care of my home country as if it were my child. More of a work load yes but it was well worth it, plus who wouldn't love personal assistants and private offices and no more bullshit. I was also glad to be heading back home because now I could see Ember again. Ever since she moved in I had developed quite the crush on her but I had yet to ask her out on a date. Sure she and her son came over for dinner a lot, and though I loved her son, I wanted something a bit more private and intimate. Right now she and I were just really close friends, since I had her number all we did was talk any chance we got and when I wasnt busy we would call or FaceTime, it honestly really depended on where I was at the moment. Right now though I had to figure out how I was going to ask her out.

     "Jesus lad, what happened to you?" I heard a familiar Welsh accent say as they came up behind me. Glancing over I saw none other then my old partner Edward Kenway. I remembered when Mary brought him in and assigned him to me, of course I had been a bit skeptical at first but after a while I did see the potential in Edward. We didnt necessarily get off on the right foot in the beginning but after a little personal chat all that changed and we had become close, he was one of the rare friends I had here within the Assassins. Not a lot of people liked me because I was "too skillful" or "too young" but it wasn't my fault I just happened to be great at what I do and I was born into this. That talk we had- I told Edward what happened with my father and brothers, how they had been killed right in front of me and in return he told me how he left his family behind to run off with his younger sister because of the shit his dad was doing to her so he moved them here to the states and how the reason he ended up here was to get out of jail to protect his sister because she had gotten raped. He was worried because they had placed her in witness protection so he couldn't really see or talk to them much and how she was on her own. I felt bad for him, I really did- to have your own sister raped and yanked from your arms to god knows where knowing you can't do much to ease their pain.... I couldn't imagine if that happened to Claudia. Edward really cared for his sister and though I had yet to meet her I cared for her as well. Edward and I were close now and he just happened to be one of my favorite students and person. Great drinking partner too. I smirked.

     "Tired is all, running a country is a lot harder then people think it is" I said. Edward smirked a bit at that.

      "Oh I can only imagine but you earned it, Italy is safe in your young and reckless hands"

     "Im the reckless one? Need I remind you what happened in the Bahamas now" I said as I arched a brow, Edwards growing a bit embarrassed as I laughed it off "I heard the director is eyeing a few more people for the other openings. Malik's temporarily in charge of Syria until Altair can get his shit together, She's eyeing you closely for Wales but you didn't hear that from me."

     "Are they now?" Edward asked curiously, a look on his face. I could tell he was happy but a bit stunned. Truth be told he deserved that spot, he worked his ass off everyday and though he had been quite reckless in a few of those missions he pulled through in the end.

     "She is. Theirs a lot more paperwork attached to it but nothing beats being your own boss and having an office to yourself. Its a lot and tough but you're ready for it"

     "Oh I bet"

     "Just don't screw up at all this week and you'll have your answer at the end. Im counting on you, I don't want that idiota Derek getting it."
