[Ezio x Reader Fanfic] May the father of understanding guide us

9} An Assassin

You clamber out of the hay stack and brush the hay off clumsily. Your legs wobble as you try to walk away from the hay bail. You hear a low chuckling from behind you, spinning around you see Ezio leaning against the cart and smiling at you.
"Why the hell would you do that to me!?!?" You huff and cross your arms. You aren't sure if you are talking about the jump of about him being an assassin. Thank god I don't wear my Templar ring anymore!
"Haha, I didn't realise it would be so scary for you after seeing your comfort at climbing up here!" He laughs at you as you try to walk away from him on shaky legs. Your knees buckle and you begin to fall. Ezio rushes forwards and catches your arms to hold you up. His body is so close to mine! You think, feeling his muscular chest and arms press against your slightly quivering form. You shake him off and stand straight, feeling the unfamiliar burn of tears in your eyes.
"I have to go! I have a meeting with my father." You mutter and sprint away.
"Wait! (Y/N)!" Ezio calls after you but you don't stop. You run to the outskirts of town and mount your horse.
"Please wait (Y/N)!" Ezio is standing near your horse, panting slightly.
"I have to go Ezio, maybe I'll see you on Petruccio's birthday." You blurt out.
"I didn't mean to upset you, (Y/N). If I had of known you would get so angry I never would have made you jump with me." He came closer to your horse and reached towards you.
"That's not why...I wasn't afraid...I just have to go!" You scream at him and spur your horse on, cantering off towards your house. The wind stings the tracks down your cheeks where your tears had been swept away. He is an Assassin! That means that I have to...kill him. The thought makes you cry even harder. NO! I can't kill him. I don't care what father says, I won't let the Templars hurt them! Even if it means that I have to leave the order.
A sudden thought crosses your mind and makes you gasp. Did my father know about this? Was that why he wanted me to befriend them?

{flashback}

A few weeks after you met the Auditores, your father called you to his office to talk to you about them.
"What are the Auditores like?" Father asked me casually.
"Giovanni and Maria treat me as their own daughter and the boys..." You blush slightly"... They are very kind to me."
"I see... And have you noticed anything off lately?"
"Well, Giovanni has been writing letters a lot, me and Ezio deliver them together. Ezio also got in a fight with the son of the Pazi, although I suspect Ferdinand told you all about that." He smiled and nodded.
"Naturally, he also told me that you and him had a falling out, but I'm not interested in that. If anything questionable comes to your attention you are to report it to me, understood?" You nod and smile. He returns the smile and motions for you to leave.

My father knew they were Assassins. He knew and he lied to me. HE USED ME!
