A/N: Alright, the summary thing isn't long enough for my explanation. Overall rated M. But each theme is individually rated. This list my best friend and I created, and I tried drawing stuff to it, but they just wouldn't come out. So, last night, I had the random idea to try writing to it. These will be updated periodically, only because I'm stuck on ACI, so I've nothing to do! D: So, here's the first one. :D

Meeting For the First Time

(K+)

The young Eagle's eyes flickered around quickly, examining his territory. With no sight of enemies, he began scaling the nearby building to the roof. He walked out to the ledge and kneeled, looking around. He smiled and leaped into the hay bale below as guards began walking by. He peeked out slowly and looked around again. He received weird looks and stares from bystanders, many muttering under their breaths. The Eagle noticed a man, about twenty four, walking by, carrying art supplies. He shrugged, not really caring for that stuff, and jumped out of the hay. He noted the artist looked at him quickly, startled.

"Mi dispiace." The Eagle muttered before walking away. He walked quickly through the crowds surrounding the Florence Cathedral, gently pushing people out of the way. He stopped and looked behind him, noting the artist nearby.

"Uh, messer." The artist walked up to the Eagle.

"Si?"

"I… I saw you jump from that tower, and I must say, very graceful!" The artist looked back at the tower, then at the Eagle.

"Grazie." The Eagle nodded.

The artist smiled, extending his hand out. "I'm Leonardo da Vinci."

"Ezio Auditore." Ezio took the artist's hand. "Glad to make your acquaintance." He turned and began walking away again.

"Er, Ezio," Leonardo called after him.

"Si?" Ezio turned around.

"I want to paint you… If you don't mind." Leonardo smiled gently.

"Beats looking for something to do in the city. Sure."

"Great! If you would follow me to my workshop." Leonardo's gentle smile widened. He turned on his heel and began in the other direction.

Ezio shrugged and followed the artist to his workshop. Inside, he looked around. "Hmm… Cozy…"

"Si, but it is very nice to get out of the workshop every once in a while." Leonardo began setting up his workstation. "So, how old are you, Ezo?"

"Seventeen."

"I know your mother, Maria."

Ezio roiled his brows. "I never knew my mother to be that type of woman… Wonder if Father knows…"

"Oh, no, Ezio. Not like that. I'm a family friend. She often asks me to do commissions."

"Oh, mi dispiace."

"Quite alright. I don't have much taste for women anyway…" Leonardo blushed before turning away.

"So, Leonardo. What is it you want me to do?"

"Oh…" Leonardo roiled his brows while looking around. "Over there, if you don't mind." He pointed to a rugged area. "Sit on that there rug."

"Si." Ezio sat down on the rug. He looked around the workshop again as the artist finished setting up his easel. "Hmm… Sit how ever you feel most comfortable."

Ezio obeyed, laying on his side.

"I like that." Leonardo smiled, changing the orientation of his canvas. "So, Ezio. What do you do?"

"I help my father run errands."

"Ah. Are you going to be a banker?"

"Si." Ezio nodded. "You're a painter?"

"Si. But I do much more..."

"Like?"

"I'm an inventor, an engineer, and so on."

"Ah."

...

"Alright, Ezio… We can stop for now."

Ezio opened his eyes and looked at Leonardo. "Huh?"

"You fell asleep, Ezio."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ezio chuckled, sitting up.

"It's fine. It's pretty late, do you want to stay here for the night?"

Ezio nodded. "Si. The Pazzi have been searching for me, and I'd rather not have any more trouble."

"Sounds good to me." Leonardo smiled.

Ezio smiled back. He felt that he could trust the artist, and he voiced his opinion. "I get this feeling that I can really trust you, Leonardo."

Leonardo smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."

Ezio stood up, stretching.

"Alright, where do you want to sleep? I've only one bed, unfortunately."

"I can sleep out here." Ezio looked at the sofa in the room.

"That's not very comfortable, I'll warn you."

"It'll do. Grazie."

Leonardo smiled, nodding. "Prego." He walked up to Ezio and hugged the Eagle.

Ezio was taken by surprise, but hugged back.

"See you in the morning." Leonardo walked into his sleeping quarters.
