Chapter 1

Lost One, Gain Another


Keeping to the walls the seventeen year old Ezio stalked his older brother through Florence's streets, Federico was none the wiser for his little brothers presence even though he looked around apprehensively for anyone tailing him.

That is what made Ezio so curious, for the past few nights he had noticed his brother sneaking out of his room beside his. That was why he followed tonight, did Federico finally have a woman?

The notion was… surprising. Federico always showed annoyance to Ezio sneaking off to see women and yet here he was at night rushing towards someone's home with an odd skip. Ezio peered from around the corner and watched his brother climb up a wall to perch at the top window of a large home, the eldest son looked around before pulling something out from a hole in the window frame.

Must have been a key because the window was opened and the object was returned to the hiding place. Federico looked around one more time before climbing into the window, someone else was there that Ezio couldn't see. A shadow that took Federico's hand and helped him inside, the eldest son threw himself at the figure and the window was slammed behind him.

"Ooh grande fratello! You sly dog…" Ezio sniggered and returned the way he came, he was going to have to talk to his brother about this in the morning.

'How dare he not tell me he has a woman!'

-A-

Panic, wild and white filled him. Ezio ran forward towards the hanging stadium with a cry, he met Federico's eyes fearful through the crowd just as the lever was pulled.

CRACK!

Everything seemed to spin and turn red, Ezio sent the man who betrayed him and his father a hurt and angry look. Uberto pointed and yelled to the guards while the hooded Borgia stood in the background. He had to escape… he had to…

Fleeing blindly, Ezio searched for a place to hide.

His feet led him to a familiar strip of road, leaping over a fence he hid as the guards ran past before making the climb to the window.

Unlocking the window he fell in with a loud thump, on the ground he hyperventilated. His father and brothers… gone because of betrayal.

"I will kill you I swear it Uberto…"

"By that it is obvious you are not any of my lovers." A sarcastic voice spoke from the shadows, Ezio jumped to his feet and flinched back towards the door at the sight of the massive man.

He stood with hands folded behind his back in the darkest corner, the armour covering his left arm twinkled as faint shards of light from a candle hit the beautiful ornate carvings.

"Are you an assassino?" The man moved closer making Ezio jump back and hold up a sword… when did he get the sword? Did he take it from a guard?

"I don't…" The man paused and tilted his head, looking from Ezio's pale face to the commotion outside.

"Now what have you done?" The man spoke calmly as he walked to the window to peer out, he was like a kindly father berating his… oh father. A strangled sound came out of Ezio and the sword fell from his hand with a loud clatter. The tall man looked at him with a simple look before tilting his head again.

Ezio's legs shook as he tried to take in breaths of air, the stranger quickly paced over to his cupboards and pulled out a wine bottle. He poured its contents into a glass and bent down to Ezio's side to hold the cold water to his lips.

"Easy, drink." Ezio tilted his head back and drank, the water filled his dry mouth. The young man nodded to the stranger with appreciation, "Now can you explain what is going on, and how you knew about the key?"

"I saw my brother use it the other night…" The man examined Ezio's face as best as he could from under the hood to try and place his features.

"Ah Federico? So you are Ezio then?" Ezio nodded making the man hum curiously, "Why does his brother come barging into my house like a uncivilized babbuino?"

The man spoke gently with a humorous tone as he kept at Ezio's side, like a pillar to lean upon. The young man took a breath, "I needed somewhere to hide after… that betrayal… that…"

Watching Ezio begin to shake the man frowned and began to look very serious, "What happened? Where is Federico?"

"They hanged them!" The man flinched at Ezio's cracking voice and the news, like the words had whipped his face.

"Wh… what? They… them?"

"Uberto betrayed my father to the Borgia… they all got hanged. Father, Petruccio and… and Federico…"

The strange man release a long pained sigh and rubbed a hand on Ezio's shoulder as if trying to soothe the young man and distract himself, he was quiet for a moment before saying in a very small sad tone, "And what of your mother and sister? They are safe I presume?"

"Yes… for now. I have to… get them out of Florence." He spoke in gulps as he used the man's shoulder to steady himself on his feet.

"Sit down before you hurt yourself boy." The man stood suddenly and shoved him into a seat making the ornate cavalier hat fall off the back, Ezio quickly caught it mid-air and twisted its hem nervously between his hands. "Stop that!"

The hat was snatched away and hanged on the other chair, Ezio was left to simple fold his hands on top of the table, tap his fingers and look nervously at the tall man.

"What is your name… and how do… did you know my brother?" The man flinched as Ezio tripped up on his words and corrected to past tense.

"Krosis Alonso…" He sighed and sat in the other seat and held his face in his hands for a moment, "If Federico is dead then I guess there is no need for secrecy. You brother was a lover of mine… or I was his. Take it however you rather…"

"You… my brother?" Ezio looked at the man with wide eyes, "My brother with a man?"

"Yes, he said you would be shocked if you ever found out. Quite a donnaiolo, he told me." The man chuckled lightly as he rubbed his brow and looked at Ezio, "He was more worried about his father finding out though…"

"Father, why?" Krosis didn't reply and leaned back with a sigh, the older man looked suddenly very exhausted.

"You can rest here until nightfall then get to your mother and sister. Your brother was meant to be my 'guest' tonight so I will be having no visitors." Ezio winced and glared at Krosis.

"Don't speak about my brother like he was some puttana si scopate!" He spat out the words as Krosis closed the window. The man gave him a calm and collected look before he left the bedroom, Ezio listened as the man left and looked out the window to watch him pace away.

Alone, Ezio returned to the seat and leaned back, he poured himself some more water with shaky hands. This was all too much. He just lost half his family and that his brother was with a man, it was making him go into shock.

Krosis returned a few hours later, the sun was still shining through the window but was getting low. The tall man paused at his door and sighed, Ezio was sitting in the chair with his head dropping to his chest. Tears were dripping from his closed eyes as he twitched in his sleep.

Slowly the tall man moved beside Ezio and took the glass and empty bottle. He went back down the stairs to wash them. When he returned again, Ezio was opening his eyes.

The younger man looked around in confusion before remembering, he rubbed his brown and wiped his tears on his sleeve. Krosis lowered back into the seat with an exhausted sigh. That was when Ezio noticed the red in the other man's eyes.

"You cared for him?"

"I care for every lover of mine, boy." The last word was snappish, Ezio flinched and regret what he said before. "But that doesn't matter anymore… his gone."

"… Why wouldn't father have liked you? He wouldn't have minded my brother being with a man… and you seem respectable."

Krosis gave Ezio a small appreciative smile, he looked down at the uniform the younger man wore with a soft chuckle. "You will know soon if you keep following the path your father has set out for you." Ezio sighed in annoyance, all he has gotten lately is riddles and half answers.

"… They plan to throw their bodies into the Arno at midnight tonight." That made Ezio stand up with angry eyes and pace like an angry wolf.

"We must give them a proper funeral…" Krosis slowly nodded his head in agreement, but when Ezio said 'we' he looked slightly unnerved. "What? Don't you want to give Federico a proper…"

"I do… but if I get seen I can be in more trouble than you think, I don't want to risk my other lovers to the dangers…"

Ezio frowned at the desperation in the tall man's voice, he looked torn between going and something else that made him fretful.

"… I understand."

"Please… I gave Federico a gift. It will have this on it…" Krosis showed the shoulder pad of his armour, Ezio nodded with a frown. "You will have to escape with your family right away, so give it to me when you see me next."

"Of course, amico." Ezio said making Krosis look at him with surprise before nodding in thanks.

Sitting back down in his seat, Ezio tried to relax his body as he thought over a plan, but he couldn't loosen up.

"Did you hear anything about my mother and sister?"

"They are basing their search on you, they have only a few guards looking for them but they have been given false news that the women are… on the other side of the city to the brothel." Krosis gave Ezio a smirk.

"Thank you again Amico…"

Krosis nodded before resting his chin on his knuckles as Ezio pushed back his hood and bounced his knee. How could he wait until midnight?

"Calm yourself Assassino, a stressed mind has much cause for slip ups."

"I understand that… but…" Ezio's legs twitch more as he stared out side, as if that would make time speed up.

"Babbuino… I swear if you don't calm down I will lock you in the cellar until it's time for you to go." The young man gulped as Krosis gave him a dark pointed look, "Not many enjoy going down there, not even your brother."

"Oh? Secret torture device or something… else?" Krosis raised a brow with no emotion on his face making Ezio clear his throat. He had heard of many fetishes amongst his own lovers but never met someone who instigated the darker ones for someone else.

Only a few seconds passed until Krosis sighed in annoyance again. Ezio gave him a glare and shrug, "What, unless you have something that can suddenly relax me I am not relaxing."

"Babbuino, I can give you a 'service' but as you're a donnaiolo…" Krosis gave with a look before standing and going to his window to look out it, the sky was very slowly turning orange making him tighten his lips. The only reason he was keeping the Assassin was for Federico, any other time he would have thrown Ezio out his window.

Behind him Ezio was running fingers through his long hair and pushing back his fringe in his fidgeting. Taking a deep breath he spoke, "I have never been with a man."

"Hm?" Krosis hummed distractedly as he pulled his curtain halfway over the glass and crossed his arms as he watched people walk along the road, "Can't say I have been with a woman myself…"

"So all your lovers are men?"

"All 103 I have been through and 13 in Florence." Ezio's brow rose to his hairline, he might be a womanizer but this man has been through more lovers then him… ten times as many.

"103? That is an impressive number." The man smirked at him and snorted, "You must have felt close to many of them…"

"… Only two were my closest." Ezio looked at him, "My first and… your brother."

"Federico? You were fond of him?"

"Yes… I was fonder of him then the others. He had a charm about him, you have that same… glow?" Krosis looked to Ezio with a frown as if the younger man was an enigma, "I don't know why… it's like you both are… no never mind. Assassino's…"

"Are you willing to suck me off then?" Krosis looked to Ezio with a surprised look, "I have had women do it and a man's mouth won't be much different. Might enjoy it, might not… as long as it gives me something else to think about."

Krosis looked at Ezio, the young man leaned his jaw on a hand and he lazed. "If that is what you wish, Babbuino."

The older man moved to Ezio and knelt to begin untying his pants, reaching in he pulled out Ezio's semi hard shaft and tugged the pants down to the young man's ankles. Ezio shifted so he was closer to the edge of the seat as Krosis blew hot air against his tip.

Taking the tip into his mouth, Krosis swirled his tongue around it drawing out deep moans from Ezio. Holding the shaft at the base with tight fingers he continued to lick the tip while slowly rubbing the hand up and down on the flesh between his lips and Ezio's base.

Breath was growing heavy as Ezio felt himself growing hard at the older man's ministrations, he was skilled with his mouth that was for sure. Ezio moaned and arched back as Krosis took him took the back of his throat before returning to giving the tip attention.

Tension ran away as pleasure took over. Ezio relaxed into the chair as he moaned again, Krosis was beginning to take him in and out with slow nods of his head. His cheeks concaved with how hard he sucked and the pressure did wonders for Ezio, he threaded a hand into the man's hair and held tightly.

Krosis moaned deeply around, the vibrations made Ezio twitch and jerk his hips up. "Hngh…" The man hummed almost sarcastically in question making Ezio hiss and jerk up again, he hit the back of the older man's throat.

Slowly Krosis pulled back until his lips were only around the tip and licked again, his hand caressed up and down at a medium pace making Ezio's breathing become haggard. Another hand moved so its palm was cupping his balls and the tips of fingers pushed into his arse.

Gasping out as the fingers pushed inside him while also having his balls stroked, Ezio gripped the back of Krosis' head with both hands and lifted his legs in surprise at the pleasure. The finger tips curled against his nerves making him tingle all over.

To think it felt so good having something touch the inside of his arse, Ezio would never had thought it was so sensitive.

Krosis began to move his head up and down again spurring Ezio towards a release. Slowly the young man moved his hips in pace, moaning and groaning at the sensations. It was a very good idea to let Krosis suck him.

A strangled sound was the only warning for Krosis before his throat was filled. He sucked everything down and licked Ezio's sagging shaft like it was gods given gift making the young man heat up, no woman he knew would lower herself to this much attention of his manhood. "Krosis."

The older man looked up from between Ezio's legs, a strange sight for a man so tall. Krosis leaned back so Ezio could stand before sucking the young man's balls into his mouth, he ran his tongue around the skin as he had with Ezio's tip and thrust his fingers inside his arse.

"Krosis…" Ezio moaned deeply again as his manhood sprung back up as his balls tingled, he almost came the second it hardened with the attention to his balls and arse hole. Gripping Krosis' hair he pulled the man's head up and thrust into the man's mouth like he would with a wet womanhood.

Krosis took it well as he curled his fingers against Ezio's walls and ran his hand along the back of a thigh. Ezio's balls slapped loudly against Krosis' chin and neck with each thrust in as the young man buried deep into his throat.

Moaning loudly, Ezio came again. Krosis sucked in as Ezio pulled out then swallowed what he could while the rest dripped down his chin. The younger man looked down while stroking his fingers through the fine black locks, is glossed around his fingers as smoothly as water.

The fingers in his hair made Krosis moan deeply and relax almost like a dog. "Krosis… I…" The older man looked patiently waiting as Ezio tried to word what he wanted in a meek voice, "I want you inside…"

Lust burned in his blue eyes as Krosis nodded and stood, Ezio pulled of his robe quickly as Krosis removed his own clothes. Ezio eyed the bare flesh, there were many scars from battles and things that looked like they were from street scrapes.

"Used to be a thief…" Krosis answered smoothly like he just discussed the weather as he kissed at Ezio's throat and pulse, the young man felt anticipation as he felt the large member poke and rub against his.

It was hard, incredibly hard from just sucking Ezio's member. Heat rose to the young man's cheeks, he hoped he was making a good idea. So far it has been rather… pleasing.

"I promise to be gentle." Krosis spoke softly as he pulled something out of one of his pockets before throwing the pants aside, "Get on the bed, on your back."

Slowly Ezio lowered himself onto the bed and propped himself up, Krosis slathered his fingers with the sweet scented oil and pushed them into Ezio's arse making the young man arch and moan. The fingers stroked the walls to slicken them and spread to stretch the hole.

It was uncomfortable, but also pleasant too.

Adding a third finger, Krosis spread Ezio as much as he could to make it easier to take his shaft. Once he found it satisfying he pulled out making Ezio almost whimper at the loss, Krosis knelt between Ezio's thighs and slathered his shaft.

Ezio looked down and eyed the large member with a dry mouth, he watched as Krosis pressed the tip against his arse and tensed up. "Relax Babbuino, don't tense up. Stroke yourself if you have too."

Nodding, Ezio rubbed his own shaft until his body melted in pleasure. Seeing him relax, Krosis slowly pushed inside.

Ezio grunted in pain and forced himself to ignore it, he spread his legs wider and wrapped them around Krosis' arse making the older man moan. Slowly he inched inwards, until Ezio could take no more in.

"I am s-sorry…" Ezio blushed as he felt only half of Krosis inside him, it was embarrassing.

"Don't worry, your body will get used to me and let me in deeper. I will not force myself inside… just stay relaxed." And he began to move outwards again so only his tip was inside, he hummed encouragingly as he moved in again before repeating.

A sigh came out of Ezio as he arched, slowly he felt Krosis move deeper and deeper until he finally was hilted fully in, "See, easy. You're doing splendidly." Ezio moaned weakly as he wrapped his hands around Krosis' shoulders and pulled the man down with desperate tugs.

Smirking widely, Krosis took Ezio's mouth into a fervent kiss. He suckled and bit at Ezio's bottom lip making it feel bruised as his thrusts grew faster and harder making the young man grunt and gasp. Moaning deeply Ezio pushed his tongue inside Krosis' mouth and battled with the other man's own tongue.

Huffing against each other, Ezio began to thrust up into Krosis making the man moan deeply and angle Ezio higher to gently push him into the bed sheets with each thrust. Ezio was the first to move away from the kiss and bit along the other man's neck drawing out more groans and leaving behind bruising marks along the tanned skin.

Ezio ran his nails down the older man's back, Krosis jerked his hips harder at the sudden pain and moaned. His pace picked up making Ezio's toes curl and thrust into each move feverously, the young man could feel the sweat dripping down his temples and chest as the room felt like it was on fire.

Clamping his teeth around Krosis neck, Ezio tightly closed his eyes as he came, smearing their stomachs with his sperm. The release made him and Krosis gloss against each other as they moved.

Krosis pressed his mouth against the bed sheets as he pressed tightly against Ezio as walls swelled around him and pulsed, he huffed hotly into the bed and soaked it with his drool as he rutted roughly to his own release.

Arching so he could seal around Krosis' shaft, Ezio moaned as the older man released into him. His arse clamped tightly making Krosis hiss in pleasure.

They both breathed heavily as they leaned back, Krosis looked deeply into his eyes with a smirk. "So, how was it new boy?"

"Shut up and keep moving…"

Krosis began to thrust again, the two men kept their eyes locked this time round. The older man gripped Ezio's shaft and stroked it to his pace, the younger man forced his eyes to stay open as he came. He could see sparkles flash across his vision and everything blurred with lust.

With a roaring cry, Krosis came again. He didn't even blink as he bent down and kissed Ezio softly on the lips, almost innocently even as he shook with a bestial lust.

Krosis' eyes flashed to his window before back to Ezio, "You have a few minutes to bathe and recover…" They both sighed as Krosis pulled out, the older man climbed off the bed and fell into his chair.

Slowly Ezio rose to his feet and hobbled into the bathroom, drawing himself some water he washed what he could and relaxed into the water as it soothed his hot skin. This was an interesting experience.

Cleaned and smelling like cinnamon, Ezio walked back out while drying himself and got dressed slowly with Krosis eyeing him hungrily from the chair. The older man's shaft was already growing hard just from watching. When dressed Ezio bent and took the shaft into his mouth, Krosis moaned I surprise and massaged the nape of Ezio's neck.

"Just do what I did… don't overdo it on your first time." Ezio hummed in understanding as he took the manhood as deep as he could before bobbing back, he licked the tip then down the bottom towards Krosis balls.

Ezio sucked the skin between the shaft and balls bringing out a deep moan, he licked backwards while swirling his tongue and took everything into his mouth again. He ran his teeth slowly down making Krosis moan long and deep, his head fell back against the wall behind him and closed his eyes.

From what he learnt, Ezio pleasured the other man and rubbed all the sensitive skin he could find before choking as a bitter taste filled his mouth. Swallowing as to not suffocate, Ezio looked up and met Krosis' eyes.

"Good Babbuino…" He smirked and helped Ezio to his feet, they gave a quick kiss before the younger man moved to open the window.

"I will see you again, Amore. By then I will have caught up to your own tally of lovers."

"104." Krosis grinned as he slouched in the seat like nothing happened, Ezio gave his own smirk as the other man's number rose by one. So did Ezio's.

"Fino a quando scopiamo di nuovo l'amore." Krosis chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"Look forward till then Babbuino."
