Me: What is it?
Ezio: *hands box* Open it
Me: *opens box* OMG! It's a- *smacks ezio* What is this!
Ezio: It is inspiration.
Me: Of you naked! What did you get Desmond and Altair?
Ezio: Desmond gets these cute little cat ears and tail. Altair gets the rope.
Me: . . . I do not own Assassin's Creed or anything having to do with it.

Christine loved Christmas with a passion, it was her favorite holiday of the year. It was a time to spend time with family and friends, and make new memories together. This Christmas was the first year Christine couldn't be with her family, she was instead stuck in a different time with her friend Karoline, and three assassins. Currently Altair was fighting with her about getting a Christmas tree.
"I don't care if you want one or not! You took me away from my home, so I'm going to use yours for Christmas!" Christine yelled.
"Damn it woman! What is the point of this," Altair waved his hand in a tree formation, "this tree. Why can you not just hand out your so called gifts and be done with it!"
"Because then it isn't Christmas! Just this once can I celebrate a holiday without a fight!" Christine screamed, tears beginning to prick at her eyes. Fighting the urge to cry, Christine looked to her friend Karoline for help. Her friend walked up behind Altair and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Altair, just let us have a couple of days to feel at home again. We're all tired of being in this time, but we need to get along to get out of here," Karoline said soothingly. Turning to look at her Altair made the mistake of getting caught in Karoline's puppy dog face.
"Ugh, fine!," he threw his hands in the air and stormed out of the room. Christine then ran over to her friend and gave her a high-five.
"Thanks Kay! Now let's get ready for Christmas!" Christine shouted excitedly. Both girls then set to work on decorating the bureau with tinsel, holly, and other Christmas decorations. They were just putting up the tree when Desmond and Ezio walked into the room.
"I see you convinced Altair to get into the Christmas spirit," said Desmond slyly to Christine. "Are you going to dress up as santa too?" he added with a suggestive eyebrow. Rolling her eyes, Christine elbowed in the ribs as she reached for an ornament box.
"You two would love to see that, wouldn't you?" Christine replied back. Setting the box down Christine started to decorate the tree. Ezio circled around the room looking confused.
"What are all of these . . . things?" he finally asked. Christine stopped what she was doing and walked up to the confused playboy.
"Karoline, Desmond, and I all celebrate a holiday we call Christmas. It's when people all get together and spend time with their friends and family. Everyone gets gifts for one another and puts them under the Christmas tree," Christine paused and pointed to the half decorated tree. "Then on Christmas day, everyone opens their presents and enjoys each other's company. Any more questions?" Christine finished. Ezio nodded and pointed to the mistletoe hanging in the doorway.
"What is that?" Christine turned her head and saw what he was pointing at. Changing to a bright shade of red, Christine tried to explain.
"That's a . . . um, mistletoe," she stuttered. Ezio looked at it again and raised an eyebrow.
"What is it for?" he said blatantly. Christine turned a brighter shade of red and turned to Desmond and Karoline for help. Karoline didn't look as flustered as Christine was, but she was trying to avoid making eye-contact so she didn't have to answer. Desmond was Christine's only hope, and she gave him the best 'help me or I'll make you pay' look as she could. Giving in Desmond casually walked over and put an arm around Ezio's shoulder.
"That there is a guy's best friend. If you are standing under it with another person, those two people have to kiss. There's no way you can get out of it either," Desmond grinned as he finished his explanation. Both assassins then turned to look at Christine, whose face was of pure mortification. Laughing at her expression, the two assassins walked back over to the tree and began to help decorate. Grumbling to herself Christine dragged her feet to the other side of the room for more decorations. Digging in the box, Christine found a roll of crimson red ribbon, which she unravelled a bit so she could hang it up. Going on her tip toes, the vertically challenged apprentice tried to pin the ribbon to the wall. Christine was a good four and a half feet from where she wanted to hang it up. She groaned in frustration as she turned towards her friends.
"Hey! I need help hanging this up. Can someone lift me up a bit?" she yelled across the room. Three heads swiveled in her direction, and then back at each other before finally Ezio began to saunter over. Grunting, Ezio scooped up Christine with ease and put her on his shoulders. Standing up slowly on Ezio's shoulders, Christine began to pin the ribbon to the wall. Every now and then, Christine told Ezio to walk in a certain direction so she could hang up some more ribbon. Eventually the duo made it halfway around the room before they encounter a misstep. Christine had just finished hanging up her second roll of ribbon, when Desmond accidentally walked into Ezio, causing Christine to lose her balance. Making an indignant squeaking noise, Christine fell into Ezio's outstretched arms.
"Can I have some form of gratitude for catching you?" Ezio smiled. Coughing, Desmond pointed towards the ceiling, making Christine and Ezio look up. There hanging above their heads in a mocking manner, was the mistletoe. Trying to escape herself away from Ezio, Christine attempted to roll out of his arms. She only succeeded in making Ezio grab onto her more tightly. Slowly looking up at her capturer, Christine inhaled sharply. Grinning like a little boy getting a new toy, Ezio leaned closer to Christine. Hovering centimeters away from her face Ezio breathed out, "Merry Christmas la mia bella donna," before closing the distance between the two of them. Christine's heart began to beat faster and faster, and she couldn't help but melt into the kiss. After what felt like hours, Ezio broke the kiss and set Christine down on her feet. Swaying back and forth, Christine walked away from the doorway with Ezio following suit. Christine was then brought back to the present with the giggling of Karoline and Desmond.
"Jeez Christine, don't look like you hated it so much," Desmond chided. Karoline laughed again as she went to go pick up the abandoned ribbon rolls in the doorway. Only luck would have it that Altair would walk in right there and then. Stiffening up, Karoline tried to move from the doorway but Desmond yelled to Altair, "Hey Altair, you're under the mistletoe with Karoline! You two have to kiss now!" Hearing this, Altair looked between Karoline and Desmond before shrugging his shoulders. Grabbing Karoline on the waist, he pulled her towards him roughly before capturing her lips. Trying to push him away, Karoline put her hands on his chest and made an effort to shove him away. Altair only deepened the kiss for a few more seconds before breaking away. Both Karoline and Altair panted for a few seconds before walking away from each other without a word. The only sound was Desmond having a laughing fit on the floor, but that would only last for so long.
"Looks like Desmond is the only one who wasn't kissed tonight," Christine thought aloud. Her statement brought out the best of Ezio and Altair, as both looked at each other and nodded. Stalking over to where Desmond was on the floor, Altair dragged him to his feet and held his arms behind his back. Yelping in surprise, Desmond tried to break free, all forms of resistance ceased though when Ezio stood in front of him. Running his finger along and under Desmond's jaw line, Ezio tilted Desmond's head up and kissed him mercilessly. At this both girls looked at each other and then back to the scene before them. Ezio now had his hand behind Desmond's head, and was running his tongue along his lower lip, asking for entrance. Desmond eagerly complied and began fighting back for dominance. Altair then joined in by kissing, licking, and sucking on Desmond's neck. Getting too heated for the girls, both friend left quietly through the door. Not letting her opportunity close, Christine hung up a sign on the door saying,
DO NOT DISTURB! ASSASSIN DECORATING IN PROGRESS
