Author's Preface: I DO NOT OWN ASSASSIN'S CREED OR THE REAL LEONARDO DA VINCI. All of this is for fun, and so very much fun I've had.

also: this is a teaser. You can jack off to it still, but this is just for myself, and for you, to wonder and see if an EzioxLeonardo pairing would be an interesting thing to explore in the very near future. So I don't forget, I want to put this idea out there. Comments, flames, anything is more than desired.

With no further adieu...


They embraced closer than brothers

"I can never thank you enough, Ezio."

"It was nothing, Leonardo."

To be sure, Ezio was very glad Leonardo had come to live with them at the Villa de Auditore, doubly so that his uncle had so fully supported Ezio's initial request.

He was so excited about that fact alone that he didn't bother to conceal his excitement, nor bother to ask himself why. Leonardo Da Vinci had helped him out of a hell of a lot of tight spots, not to mention repairing and improving Ezio's deadly assassin blades. All in all, Ezio owed a lot to the artist/genius, and saving him and his precious work from the burning of the vanities was the least he could do.

It had grown dark long before Leonardo had rode into town, choosing to depart from Florence and arrive at the villa in relative secrecy, having instructed his friend, lover, and assistant Salai to remain behind and generally confuse any who came in question of Da Vinci's whearabouts. It had been a bitter parting, one that even after the long journey on horseback was still much etched into Leonardo's face.

"Leonardo, something is troubling you." Ezio wondered, stepping back from the embrace, staring concernedly at his friend. "What's the matter?" He questioned, flexing his hands, and wrists. "Anything I can help with?" He added darkly, suggesting blood.

Leonardo Da Vinci sighed and shook his head, pushing a few locks of brown hair from his face. "I'm only weary, my friend." Leonardo began, seeing the incredulous look on Ezio's handsome face and smiling despite himself. "And a bad liar, it seems." He admitted, drawing up from his depressed, pensive slump into a position that more suited a man of his brilliance and beauty.

"Come, talk with me awhile." Ezio said, gesturing out towards the gardens, which were always ethereal during the moonlit hours. "I will not suffer a friend to bed when he is troubled so." Leonardo, at length, nodded and the two men walked outside.

Ezio did not know how long they had been talking like friends, simple friends, distant friends who both experience attraction to the other, but unwilling to risk friendship, try as hard as they possibly can to ignore and avoid it. They had been speaking for quite some time, and were childishly tossing stones into the old well in a wild, abandoned reach of town, when their careful control had shattered. Or maybe it was the seclusion itself that led them to be so adventurous.

Ezio wanted to blame it all on Leonardo; he had started it, but Ezio had played an equal part, and so he could not help but find himself, to his astonished delight as well as personal awkwardness and shame, that he was just as responsible.

It was another silence that Ezio knew not what to say, when all his knowledge regarding relationships (which admittedly wasn't much, was only bits and pieces of things he had learned from his brother and of hurried and frenzied love of women who were more trouble than they were worth) had been exhausted, especially those between men. Ezio supposed he had always known of Leonardo's inclinations, though perhaps not consciously, and Ezio had begun to wonder if Leonardo knew of his subdued feelings in the same way. Leonardo's careful, eloquent, yet surprisingly honest and open statements and worries over his now broken love with his assistant seemed as innocuous as sex could ever be, yet as the conversation stretched on, Ezio found himself wondering more and more whether Leonardo was testing him, gauging his reactions, as if trying to work out whether Ezio shared the same fascination for men as he did.

All wondering ceased because, in that same silence, Leonardo had pressed a kiss to those wondering lips and sealed them in certainty with fire.

Ezio, before he was fully conscious of it, was responding in kind, placing his arms around the smaller man's shoulders and drawing him close, opening his mouth slightly, his tongue already grazing Leonardo's lips, begging feverishly to be let in and satisfied. It was several moments, minutes, hours into that frenzied kissing that Ezio felt Leonardo smiling against his lips as Ezio regained his breath, already harsh and fast, his trousers already beginning to feel just a bit too tight.

"My friend, we're not fighting." Leonardo murmured, running his long artist's fingers affectionately through Ezio's hair and making him shudder in ecstacy from the light touch, gasping and closing his eyes when Leonardo pulled.

"Please, do not race through this as you do your contracts, your other conquests...

Let us enjoy it."

After those words Ezio knew nothing but fiery pleasure running down his spine and pooling white hot in his loins, back arching as teeth and tongue attacked, no, not attacked, worshiped his neck and jaw, love-bites and sucks eliciting such noises that in his passion-induced delirium, Ezio wasn't sure whose sounds were whose.

Desmond, reeling, could barely feel himself sitting in his chair, in the Animus, and hoped that bastard limey didn't know what was going on, somehow didn't witness either this secret passion or Desmond's own secret pleasure at the feelings rushing through him that seemed so much sharper than memory.

Doublets and shirts were being drawn open, scars and lingering streaks of paint tasted and enjoyed, clothing scattered and tossed aside, carefully to the left and not into the well on whose edge they sat, at first playing like boys, tossing stones, and now like men, tossing promises.

"I wish Ezio would take off his breeches." Leonardo dropped a florin into the well, waiting as Ezio did, panting, for the sound as it hit the water. When it occurred, Leonardo stared catlike at the assassin, grinning mischieviously.

"If that is what you want…" Ezio said, too lust drunk to refuse, pulling off his boots hurriedly, then remembering Leonardo's statement, to take time, to enjoy things, took off his belt a bit slower, working on his breeches and pulling them down deliberately slow, so slow it was almost torture.

"Ezio, please… take them off, I want to taste you." Leonardo half whispered, half moaned in exasperation and need. His hair was messy and falling into his face and he didn't care, running first his soft artist thumb and then his tongue along the scar that ran down Ezio's face over his lip – Desmond felt this with even more astonishing clarity against his own scar -- , brushing tongue against tongue and smiling as Ezio smiled against him, reaching over to work on removing the artist's pants now, leaning to huskily whisper in his ear "what happened to taking your time and enjoying this?" At the sensation, the hot breath against the sensitive flesh of his neck and ear, Leonardo gasped, arching his back, and thrusting his hips forward, Ezio's hands, which had been attempting and failing to remove Leonardo's pants, brushing against his erection.

"You are… incredible, Ezio." Leonardo said after a few seconds of oblivion as he caught control of his words. Ezio couldn't tell whether it was an admonition or a praise, but he liked it all the same, and pushed his own breeches down to his knees, with his undergarments, freeing his pulsing cock that was almost unbearably hard.

With a glance, but not a word, Leonardo leaned down, trailing his fingers behing his tongue across Ezio's chest and stomach, through thick curls of pubic hair and lingering, breathing hot against Ezio's aching cock, smirking and finding it so very beautiful. Leonardo decided it was the most beautiful he had ever seen, quite long, perhaps a bit over seven inches, the perfect diameter that his long artists fingers could wrap around it comfortably, and, from what small precum he had tasted, tasted wonderful, like purpose.

Leonardo felt Ezio quaking beneath him, above him, and inside him as Leonardo took his shaft into his mouth and teasingly gave a soft suck, drawing his head back and licking once, twice, thrice, over the sensitive head, then just barely flicking across it, lapping up another small ready drop of Ezio.

"Leonardo—" Ezio began, began to beg him not to stop, that he needed this, needed this more than anything, that even the moonlight on his skin and the cold stone against his ass was causing him such ecstasy that he couldn't stand to be left in this state for more than a minute. Leonardo quieted him, obeying the unspoken wish, the promise tossed into the well, drawing Leonardo into his mouth again, deep into his throat and letting the slightly bigger man, the assassin, thrust his hips in wanton abandon, craving release, until Leonardo thought he could truly take no more, then he drew back.

There was a cry of frustration.

"Ezio, please. I may be a tease but I'm not here to torture you." Leonardo murmured, running his artist's fingers along the assassin's jaw, turning Ezio's face to look at him, placing a kiss that tasted purely Ezio upon his lips, sighing at the reflection of his own eyes, darkened with passion, in Ezio's own, whose were smouldering with need. "I want you to enjoy this to its fullest—" Leonardo began, Ezio thinking that he had already never felt anything this amazing in his entire life and what else could there possibly be, when Leonardo continued, the hint of a blush further darkening his flushed face in the moonlight "—I want you to fuck me."

"You mean--?" Ezio asked, quieted with another kiss.

"Yes." Leonardo murmured against his lips.
