 I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE ASSASSIN'S CREED MERCHANDISE!!!


Did you basically reveal your feelings to Ezio? Bad Idea.

You couldn't help it. Everything touch and every kiss were setting you off. Your heart was beating so hard it felt like drums in your chest.

"(Name)" he moaned as he continued to kiss you. He felt better telling you the truth about how he felt. All the pent up tension and possessive feelings were now out and free.

He wanted to do this for while. The days he was away from you was awful. Of course, he trusted his friends to keep you safe but he wanted to see you. It was natural for him to help women who were in trouble but with you, it was more so. He thought about why you were so different from all the girls in the past. Leonardo said she was foreign but nothing you do he recognize from any country. Why are so important to him?

He stroked your body like you were a fragile doll. Showered you in kisses. His hands were going to your clothes. You froze as he tried to undress you.

"Ah! Wait! We can't-" you tried to speak as he kissed you. Your will was fading feeling him on you.

"Ezio did you apolog-" The door swiftly open to reveal Claudia checking in on Ezio. Your face was totally red. You immediately looked to the ground.

"Yes, sister I have. In fact, I'm still apologizing if you don't mind." Ezio was unfazed by the interruption.

"....Right. I'll tell mom you both made up." She said closing the door.

Ezio returned his gaze to you.

"Now...where were we?" He said with a heart melting smile.

You were about to lean in a kiss him but you stopped yourself.

"Ah wait a moment. Since we're not angry anymore, do I still have to work with Machiavelli?" you said trying to distract him from any more intimate stuff. He looked at you and smiled.

"No. I will personally train you to become an assassin." He said still holding you.

"Me? An assassin? Not a good idea." you thought. He looked at you wondering why you were so quiet.

"Ezio...I can't be an assassin," you said to him.

He was surprised by your reaction. He thought you are more than happy to join the cause to free Rome.

"You don't wish to join?" he said very confusedly.

"I can't kill Ezio. I can help in any way I can but I don't have the heart to kill." You said in a serious tone.

He was silent for a while.

"Everything is promoted in the creed but I can't force you to kill. I can at least teach you how to survive through the eyes of an assassin." Ezio was disappointed. He let you go but he still held your hand. He walked back to the main level with you behind him.

"Wait! Are we going back now?!" you asked as he dragged you out to the hallway.

"Yes. Is that that a problem?" he asked without looking at you.

"I mean it's such short notice and all my stuff is still here-"

"I'll send someone to get them."

"But what about Machiavelli? I'm still-

"I'll find a replacement."

"Where will I-

"You'll stay with me at the hideout where I will train you under my supervision until I say your done! Any more questions?!" He stopped to look at you.You gulped. You were wondering why he was so irritated but decided to ask him later.

"Nope...."

"Good. I'll inform Claudia that you're staying with me," he said as he continued to pull you to the main hall. He went into Claudia's office. Claudia and Maria stopped their conversation to look at the both of you.

"(Name) is coming with me from now on. I'll send someone to get her things." he said looking at the both of them.

Claudia said "But I thought-"

"Glad to hear it! Make sure you take care of her son. Because if I hear you broke her heart there will be trouble." She said giving him a glare.

He shuddered. "Shouldn't she tell that to (name) not me?" he thought.

"Take care ____. I know you'll take care of my son." she gave you a sweet smile.

You nodded while Ezio had an "Are you kidding me?" look on his face.

"You will write won't you?" Claudia said placing her hand on your shoulder. You smiled and gave her a hug.

"Of course Claudia." you said letting her go.

"Shouldn't you wait until morning? The guards could be still looking for you both." Maria said with a worried look.

"We'll use the tunnels. We should get to the hideout in minutes. We'll start training as soon as possible." Ezio said.

You gulped. Compared to all the other training you had you didn't look forward to this one at all even if Ezio was going to be your mentor.

Ezio saw your reaction and placed his hand on yours.

"You'll do fine (Name). With all the reports I got from Bart you'll grow into a fine soldier." Ezio said with a soothing voice.

You appreciated the effort but that was your worry. You thought that you would learn and adapt so fast that killing would be no problem and that's something you wanted to avoid altogether.

"We better leave now." he said taking your hand again.

"Wait a sec!" you said but he continued to pull you.

"Look you don't have to pull me! I can follow you!" you said.

Ezio stopped for a moment and let go of your hand.

"Sorry!" he said slightly embarrassed.

"Is he...excited that I'm going with him?" you thought.

"We better leave though. Stay close ok?" he said to you. You nodded and waved goodbye to Maria and Claudia.







The sun was gone and it was pitch black with only a few lamp lights around. You and Ezio snuck around alleys and tried to avoid patrols around the city. You did your best to keep up with Ezio. You were honestly scared that you both would get caught.

"We need to move to the roof tops. Now!" he said. You froze at the thought of climbing up. you never climbed anything but the monkey bars as a kid. You never made it

"I can carry you." he said offering his hand. Your pride kicked in and you refused.

"I can do it!" you huffed as you attempted to climb some boxes and on to a window ledge. Sadly your upper arm strength was lacking and your grip was slipping.

"Come on (Name)! Just pull your self up!" you mumbled.

Ezio was still watching you from the ground.

"(Name)? Are you sure you-"

"Yes! I'm fine!" you shouted. You'll be sore later but you used all of your strength to move up to a balcony where after that you would just your the vines to help you up. All your body started to sore. You felt a burn stretch everywhere. You reach for the roof ledge and with the last of your strength and pulled yourself.

Now you decided to curse your pride.

"Ow...." you said feeling sore all over.

Within seconds Ezio was up right by you. He shook his head smirking.

"Bravo (Name)!" He slowly clapped.

"I think the slug on the wall was faster than you bella." he teased.

"Oh...*huff*....shut up!.....*huff*....."you said out of breath.

He chuckled as he offered his hand again. Rather than let your pride mess you up again you accepted his hand.

"Hey! You two! Get off the roof!" a guard said.

You both froze. Behind the both of you the roof guard was there.

"Its you! The assassino!" he said pulling his bow aiming for Ezio.

Once again your instincts kicked in and you push your body up. As he fired the bow you blocked it again but this time it only grazed your left arm.

"AGH! You said kneeling holding on to the wound.

"Cazzo!" the man said trying to reload.

Ezio snapped and charged after the man. He jumped to the rooftop the guard was on.

"Bastard!!" he yelled extracted the hidden blade and went right to the throat. He gurgled then his body went limp. He closed his eye and paid respect to the man.

"He did it again." you said. You couldn't help but feel scared of how brutal Ezio was. Granted he did it because he was afraid for your life and ashamed that he again didn't protect you.

"(Name) are you alright!?" he yelled.

"Ye...yes!" you said. He jumped back to the roof you were on. As he came closer you slightly back away from him. He was stunned.

"Is she afraid of me?" he was horrified at the idea.

"(Name)! I would never hurt you!" he said.

"Ezio...I....I...know you wouldn't but. You kill people. I get you have to for the good of humanity but...." you said looking away from him.

He didn't know how to make this right with you. It was basically his job to kill if someone threatens humanity. He kneeled so he can see you eye to eye.

"I don't kill the innocent (Name). I lay my blade only to those who threaten the freedom of mankind. I would never hurt you. Ever!" he said desperately to you.

"Ezio...." you thought about what he said. It still disturbed you that he kills but deep down you knew he's not some serial killer that enjoys killing others.

"He needs me." you thought. "He needs a friend to help him through this."

You quickly hugged him.

"Ezio I'm sorry. I'm not used to seeing this. I don't like that you kill, but I know you only do when necessary. I'll try not to freak out all the time." you said.

"No. I shouldn't be so quick to take out my blade. I should have known since you're not from around here that this would be very troubling for you to see a man killed in front of you. I've seen that before and I'm sorry. I'll try to do it less around you." he said returning the hug.

"Come on (Name). We have to go. I'll carry you." he lifts you up.

"No I'm fine." you said trying to break his grip.

"Like you did climbing the wall?" he mentioned.

You growled and stopped struggling.

"Hang on tight." he said.











He once again carried you as he jumped from roof top. This time you both had less problems avoiding the guards. You both found a tunnel near an old building so you could go without being seen.

You both entered the tunnel without problems.

"How is your arm?" he asked.

You held the wound. "It still stings a bit."

"That won't happen again (Name). I promise you that," he said not looking at you.

"Ezio I did this to myself it's not your fault." you said trying to calm him down.

"That's the second time you nearly got killed because of me. I won't let it happen again! Not again...." he trailed off.

"Ezio. I'll be fine." you turned to hug him.

He hesitated at first but eventually, he returned the hug.

Afterwards, you both eventually found the hideout in the middle of Rome. Ezio looked around to see if it was safe. Then he leads you inside. You looked amazed as you took in the site of the hideout it was big and very detailed with columns and secret compartments and a huge meeting room. Many recruits and veteran assassins were socializing in the main hall or in the library.

"Let's get that wound checked (name)," Ezio said leading you to a medical station.

"Tell me what ails you my lady." the man in black asked you.

"An arrow left just scratched my arm. I just need it to be clean and bandaged," you told him.

"Give her a thorough examination! I want to be sure nothing is wrong with her! Understood!" Ezio said in a serious tone.

"Uh...Ezio it's just a scratch! It's not a big deal! Relax!" you said.

"I will not take any chances! Take care of her! I'll be back." he said walking out of the room.





"You must be someone of great importance for him to be so concern for you." the doctor said turning around to find the right items for your arm.

"I wouldn't say that. He's just worried a lot." You said trying to hide your blush.

"Are you close to Ezio?" he said bringing leeches in a jar with bandages.

You didn't answer looking at the jar full of leeches.

"I was hoping to avoid this 'treatment' in this timeline. Its so gross! I rather have the shots! And I'm freaking hate shots!!!!" Your. shuddered as you continued to stare at the jar. The leeches moved slowly around the glass. They all were piled on top of each other slippery and slimy.

"Have you not have leeches on you before?" he asked as he placed the jar next to you.

"Ah no. We had different methods of medicine where I'm from," you said squirming away from the jar.

"I haven't seen anyone like you before around here. Where are you from?" he asked.

"Oh crap." you thought. You couldn't tell him the truth so you had to think of something.

"Ow! My arm! I think its worse than I thought!" you feigning pain gripping your wound. You were groaning like a child playing sick to avoid test day.

"Hold still my lady," he said checking your wound. He looked very hard for any more signs of injury.

"I see no signs of anymore damage my lady. I should go ahead with the leeches. Hold out your arm please and don't move." He said as he grabbed two leeches. They both wiggled like worms.

You groaned but did as you were told. You held out your left arm. You turned your head. You wanted to avoid looking at the ugly slugs. You felt something wet and slimy on your skin. You shuddered. It felt so gross. they slowly crawled on you until they found the scratch and then you felt a few sharp pinches on your arm.


"Ouch! Glad it wasn't a big scratch," you said.

"It won't be long. Since it's small they will eat whatever around it. Just a few minutes and I'll fix the arm." he said trying to calm you down.

"Ok." you said still nervous of the slugs on you.

"Let's have a quick check on your body." he said.

You groaned. "Ezio you paranoid jerk!" you thought.





After he was done so was the leeches. You immediately asked him to take them off of you. He patched your arm up and gave you extra just in case.

"As for your examination. You're surprisingly healthy," he said walking you out.

"Please tell Ezio before he gives me loads more examiners." you said rubbing your arm.



The doc escorted you out to the main hall while Ezio waited for you.

"She's completely healthy signore. Her face, skin, and body are fine. In fact she's one of the very few healthiest in Rome!" the doctor said surprised.

"Yea right. You should see how much junk food I ate before I came here. I'm healthy only by your standards." you thought

"Good," Ezio said in relief.

"Have a good night signora. Your arm should be fine in two weeks." the doctor said bowing to you.

Ezio snarled a bit seeing how close he was to you.

"Wait! Where will I sleep?" you asked.

Ezio snapped out of it. He thought about it for a moment.

"My room." he said. You froze. You live with him? Is he serious?

"What?" you said majorly blushing.

"I'm away most of the time and I usually go to an inn on the road when I do missions. I don't go in there anyway so might as well give it to someone who will use it," he explained.

"Um...thank you." you said to him.

"Trust me. I owe you more than that." he as he quickly gave you a kiss. The contact was quick but you felt his warm lips on you. You blushed. You held your lips feeling them still warm from the kiss.

"You might want to get some rest. We need to start training very soon," he said leading you to his room down a hallway.

"But what about my arm" you asked him.

"We won't do any arm work until your better. There are plenty of things I can show you before then." he said.

"That doesn't sound good at all." you said nervously.

"Don't worry. I'll go nice and easy on since it's your first time." Ezio he said with a smirk.

You shuddered because how sexual that sounded. After a few minutes of awkward silence, you both finally came to the room. He opened the door to a practically empty room. It was so clean and empty you wondered if he even comes to the room at all. The bed was neat and straight the wood dresser was untouched and the floor was so clean you could eat off it.

"Are you sure you lived in this room?" you said looking around. The room was fine only no windows which made sense because you were in a SECRET hideout.

"Like I said I never come here often." he said.

"Look! I can still look around for another room." you offered.

"(Name), it's fine. I'd be honored if you stayed here." he said with a smile.

You felt your heart skip a beat.

"Ah right! Time for me to go to bed, now move so I can sleep!" you said shoving him out of the room.

He chuckled. He kissed your forehead and said "Buona notte Il mio amore."

You almost melted on how smooth his words were.

"Uhg....good night Ezio." you said in a goofy manner.

You were so embarrassed but he found it cute.

"I see you in the morning. I'll send for clothes in the morning," he said closing the door.

"Another training day? Yay. More work. On the up side, Ezio teaching me! Wait.....Ezio is teaching me? That's a problem." you said shaking your head.

You lied down on the bed. It wasn't as nice as the bed at the Rosa but it was pretty close. But there was one thing the bed did have. It still had Ezio's scent on it.

It was the smell of gunpowder and fresh water? Guess it makes since when you think about it. He travels all the time so I guest that's why that's all you smell. You quickly fell asleep inhaling his scent. It relaxed you. You quickly drifted to sleep







In the morning Ezio had someone bring clothes and food for you. You ate and dress quickly. You forgot the promise you made to yourself to not tell Ezio how you feel about him. Now leaving this place is going to be a lot more complicated than it should be.

"Signora. Ezio is waiting for you near the Timber river." one of the recruits said. The recruit was about in her early twenties.

"Thank you! And you can just call me (Name)," you told her.

She smiled and escorted you to the river. You saw Ezio waiting for you.

"Thanks....um"

"Lina. I envy you. Not many recruits get to train with the handsome assassin." Lina left giggling as you blushed.

You took a long breath, then walked towards Ezio. He turned to you with the brightest smile you ever saw. You froze on the spot. The courage to tell him that you can't be together flew out the window.

"He's so hot!" you thought in a dream state.








"Time to begin," Ezio said to you.

"Ah right!" you said."Um....What will I be learning?" you asked.

"To blend and to follow." he informed you.

"Claudia and Maria taught me that already." you told him.

"Assassin's have another method of doing this." he quickly countered.

"Um...ok." you trusted him.

"Walk with me (Name)." Held his hand out to you. You took it walking close to him. As you both walk into town you tried to distance yourself from Ezio but his grip was strong.

"Uh, Ezio you can let me go-"

"Here is perfect." he said.

You were both in the middle of the city next to a Tailor shop and a bank. It was very crowded.

Ezio turned to you. "I want you to find me in this crowd. Once you do follow me and make sure I don't find you." Ezio explained.

"This is a huge crowd. What if I can't find you?" you said nervously.

"Then we start over until you can," he said with a smile. It was like a teenager planing a prank. You didn't the way he was smiling.

"What are you planning assassin?" you asked.

"Hehehe. We start now...." he smirked disappearing from your sights. In a blink of an eye, he was one with the crowd.

You gasped at how quickly he left. He did it like a ghost phased through a wall. You looked all around you and found that he was completely gone.

"But how? When did he-" you were stunned. After a moment of shock, you remember the goal of this: Find Ezio and tail him. Since you didn't have eagle vision you had to do it the old fashion way.

You looked around for a way to look at a high point of view. It took a couple of minutes to find a place after fighting the crowd. then you saw a stair way leading to a blacksmith store. It was a good way to scan the area. You stepped up the stairs until you at the top. You scanned the crowd for a white robe.

You scanned for fifteen minutes and nothing to show for it. You looked north. Nothing. You looked south. Nada. Looked west? zilch! Looked east? Na-

"Wait there he is!!" you told yourself. He was in a group with two women and three guys.

"Ok. Now to tail him," you said.

Walk around in the crowd making sure you still had Ezio in your sights. You took a breath and remembered Maria's advice in blending.

"Keep calm. Look like you belong and don't stand out. Smooth movements." you told yourself. You calmed yourself and moved from group to group with ease. You walked casually then quickly move to another to keep up with Ezio. Blending was easy but tailing him was another story. It feels like every time you gained a few feet he 's already sped up.

You saw him turn into an alley. You got out of the group you were in to find him. By the time you reached the alley he was gone!

"That's not possible!! I just saw him!!" you shouted. You looked in small nooks and corners but he was gone.

Then from behind you felt arms wrap around you. Naturally, you fought back and struggled but the stranger had you in a strong hold.

"First mistake bella. Never shout when the target goes missing. Second never leave yourself open for them to capture you." a voice said.

"Agh! Ezio! Let go!" you growled annoyed that he caught you soo quickly.

He smirked as he lied his head on your shoulder. "Not yet. I won the challenge. I would like to receive an award for doing so." he said in a low tone kissing your neck.

You almost fell for the spell of the kisses until a thought came to you.

"Wait! If you were waiting for me, then you knew I was tailing you!! Why did you keep going if you already saw me!?!?" you growled.

"I wanted to see how far you could go." he said.

"Ugh!" you snapped. You broke his hold and stormed off.

"You don't take me seriously at all!" you said in a huff.

He grabbed your hand and pulled you back to him.

"Quite the opposite actually. We can keep doing this until you're invisible to my eyes and senses." he said with confidence.

"I will beat you Ezio just you wait!!" you said.








You tried that whole week even when Ezio had other missions to do. He wouldn't tell you that he could see you. You were trying so hard that he didn't have the heart to tell you you otherwise.

Ezio went to get some of his armor repaired. He greeted the shopkeeper and gave him the armor. He waits for a couple of minutes.

"About time you got that fixed."

Ezio turned quickly to find you with the biggest smile ever!

"Why signore! I believe you look like you've seen a ghost," you said beaming.

"A very skillful and attractive ghost," he responds wrapped his arms around. You kissed him long and hard.

"Very clever! I think its time I reward my little student," he said as the shopkeeper returned his armor.

"Reward?" you said curiously. He nodded.








He took you to a bazaar like an area. After fighting the crowd you finally found a small bakery.

"Buon pomeriggio! How may I help you signore?" a joyful man in his early thirties greeted Ezio.
