Assassin's Creed Drabbles

↳ SFW alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Alexios is very affectionate —he's always looking for excuses to kiss you on the lips or cheeks. He especially loves to play with your hair. During days when you're sailing, Alexios likes to pull you in front of him at the helm of the Adrestia —he'll rest his chin on your shoulder and lace his fingers with yours, whispering sweet nothings. If he's apart from you for an extended time, he'll send Ikaros with flowers and notes for you.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

You'd meet Alexios shortly after he'd taken a contract for your head —only for him to find out the bounty's sponsor was a vindictive man who couldn't accept you'd turned down his advances. After taking care of the man, he offered you a place on the Adrestia. Barnabas, Herodotus, and the crew instantly took to you. It didn't take long for Alexios to follow suit —you're affable and sincere, and it's impossible not to like you. All it had taken was a few late nights talking to one another.

Alexios is a good friend. He looks out for you and is always willing to help you, even if it means momentarily setting aside some of his goals. Within a few months, your friendship begins to blossom into something more.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

It's Greece, and it is hot most of the time —nights are only a little cooler, but not favorable for cuddling when you're both still almost sweating. When it's like that, you and Alexios are more content sprawled out. You'll always be touching somehow, though, whether it's his arm draped across your back or your hand on his chest. One time Alexios woke up holding your foot to his chest —you're still not sure how that happened.

When the weather's cooler, or depending on where you're at, Alexios enjoys cuddling. He likes to wrap you in his arms and pull you close, face pressing into your hair and neck, legs entwined. While he prefers to hold you, he's not opposed to letting you curl up behind him. It amuses him to watch your arms struggle to encircle him.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

One day he wants to settle down, but it looks more and more as if that day will never come. He dreams of a small house near the sea —of you standing on a beach holding your daughter against a setting sun. A simple life, he calls it —it's a good dream.

Alexios can cook, but just how edible his creations are is debatable. If he can carry grain and bring back fresh meat from hunts —you're more than happy to cook (at least then you know the questionable lentil stew he makes won't be the death of you). What he lacks in cooking the department, he makes up for by helping you keep things tidy, and there's something almost comical about watching the mighty Eagle Bearer doing a task so menial as washing and hanging clothes.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

If Alexios is breaking up with you, it's because he thinks you'll be safer without him around, given the remnants of the Cult of Kosmos and now the Order of Ancients are hunting him. He doesn't do it willingly, and that makes it even harder. Alexios would take you someplace he thought would be safe —Athens, Kos, or even Sparta— and leave with a final kiss that tells you he wants nothing more than to be able to stay.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

When Alexios first realizes he loves you, it scares the hell out of him, but he's certain he wants to spend the rest of eternity with you. Since marriage during this time wasn't really for love but politics —even for poorer families— you and Alexios would probably never get married in the strict sense of the word (besides, your father had died in battle when you were young, and no one would be able to provide a dowry to legitimize the union). Even so, everyone would know you and Alexios were together —if they didn't, he'd be happy to show them otherwise.
