DISCLAIMER: Ubisoft owns the characters. Damn it all... If, for whatever reason, they wanted to transfer ownership to me, hey, I'm not complaining. I am, however, complaining that Desmond and Shaun don't spend enough time together in the warehouse. This is my solution. :D

A/N: This one is short, sweet, and to the point. Desmond, Shaun, and a kiwi fruit... To the reviewers...

RanchDressing: Ohdear... To be honest, I'm not really someone that replays a game over and over because it's fun. Once I've figured out the storyline and the end credits have rolled, I'm over it. I'm beating the first Assassin's Creed for the umpteenth time and the second one for the fourth. But, at any rate, I'm glad you enjoyed the stories. :D

MrsPhantomSylvia: So glad you enjoyed.

M.M.: I tried to keep them in character, especially Altair. Just thinking about the "Press Y" glitch makes me giggle. In fact, my brother is staring at me for giggling right now...

Miss Ziya: I think "Label" was one of my favorites. I enjoyed the song and I enjoyed what I managed to churn out in two and a half minutes of songtime. XD And again, seriously. The "Press Y" glitch should happen. RIGHT NOW!

Gooooodpie: Hopefully I'll get to the EzioLeonardo soon... But for the moment, have some ShaunDes. And I agree. There should be more. :3

Sazuka-chan: I think the stories will eventually start getting longer... I'm actually writing like five stories at one time right now. Huuuuuge pain in the ass, but I'm ADD, soooo... lol

Gabriel: I have to tell you that I seriously hard-core blushed when I read that you called me "puddin". I'm not going to lie to you. I'm so glad you liked them.


"What are you doing?" Shaun asked. Desmond blinked dumbly at him.

"What do you mean?" Desmond asked slowly.

"You're supposed to peel those first." Shaun nodded at the fruit in Desmond's hand. Desmond looked at the kiwi in his hand and raised an eyebrow.

"No, your'e not." Desmond insisted.

"I have spent my entire life eating just the inside of those fruits."

"I had a friend who lived in New Zeland near a kiwi farm. Him and his friends used to steal kiwis and eat them just like this." Desmond bit into the kiwi, skin and all. Shaun cringed.

"It's really not that bad. You should try it." Desmond shrugged.

Shaun glanced from the fruit in Desmond's hand, to Desmond's face, and back a few times.

"I might as well... I mean, you don't seem to be dying from it, but that would be just my luck, wouldn't it?" Shaun huffed. He motioned for Desmond to come closer with the fruit.

Desmond stepped closer to the book-cluttered desk, careful to mind the wires and cords leading from Shaun's computer to the Animus and back. Desmond held out the kiwi and very nearly dropped it as Shaun grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled their faces together. Shaun's tongue traced Desmond's lips and mapped the inside of Desmond's mouth. Desmond straddled Shaun's hips and pressed closer.

"If your lips are anything to go by, I'd say eating the entire kiwi is a perfectly delicious thing to do." Shaun smirked. He took the fruit from Desmond's hand and took a bite. There was a tartness to the fruit from the skin that blended with the sweet inside somehow...

"So does this mean I've bested you?" Desmond asked with a cocky smirk.

"Not for a second." Shaun growled. He kissed Desmond again, almost violently, just to remind the little prick of his place.


A/N2: And a dominant Shaun is a sexy Shaun... Anyway... Yes. You can eat a kiwi, skin and all. That's how I eat my kiwi fruits, and yes, I do get plenty of odd looks from time to time. It's actually really good, as long as you don't mind the whole slightly-fuzzy texture thing going on there. Something that I thought of when I was eating a kiwi in my front yard and one of my friends living nearby interrogated me on the nutritional benefits and possible health repercussions of eating a kiwi whole. Hope you liked. :heart:
