I do not own any Assassin's Creed characters!
"So is it true, (Y/n)?" Rebecca asked with a small giggle.
You looked over at the computer whiz and cocked an eyebrow, "Is what true?"
"That you have a crush on Desmond?" Rebecca replied with a smirk.
A blush immediately heated up your face and cleared your throat, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
Though Rebecca wasn't wrong with what you felt about Desmond. You have had a huge crush on him ever since you met him at Abstergo Industries and even escaping with him and Lucy. Though with the situation at the time, you didn't think it would be appropriate to tell him how you felt. Though, when you and Desmond were safe, you felt like you could breathe a little bit. So right now, Lucy was out as Desmond was talking with Shaun and Rebecca was poking fun at you for your "little" crush.
"Aw, come on," Rebecca giggled again, "You should really tell him."
"I... I don't know..." you replied rubbing your arm, "What if he doesn't feel the same?"
"I don't see why not. I see him glancing at you a few times," Rebecca mentioned.
You couldn't help but move your (e/c) orbs to see Desmond still engrossed in his conversation with Shaun. Desmond then noticed you and smiled lightly in your direction making you blush. You couldn't help but smile and looked back at Rebecca.
"I... I guess you're right," you replied while fiddling with your hands.
Before Rebecca could speak up, you both saw Lucy come through the door. Lucy then looked over at you and headed your way.
"(Y/n), you're here, good," Lucy started while still making her way over to you, "I need you in the Animus for a bit and get used to it before you go completely under."
"Sure, no problem," you replied while nodding.
Even though Abstergo had kidnapped you to use you for their own needs, you were never put into the Animus. You heard Desmond talk about it and frankly you weren't sure how you felt about it. Though you agreed to help the Assassins out as much as you could. The others had taken you under their wing and began to train you as an Assassin. It was difficult but you felt like you were actually accomplishing something with your life. So if you had to go into the Animus to recover memories to help your fellow brothers, then you would do it. You sat down in the Animus and Rebecca sat next to you with the catheter.
"Now think happy thoughts of Desmond," Rebecca chuckled before she stuck you.
When you tried to yell at her, she inserted the catheter and making you cry out a little in pain. Rebecca only laughed while you laid back with a pout. Before you knew it, your memories were being synched with your ancestor's.
"(Y/n)," a voice spoke to you softly, "(Y/n)."
You scrunched your face a little then slowly opened your eyes to see a bright, hot sun overhead along with a figure. Your vision cleared to see that it was your mentor, Altair. You couldn't help but blush as you gazed up at him. You had forgotten that you had fallen asleep while waiting for Altair to arrive and help train with you.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he kneeled next to you, "I'm not surprised that you had fallen asleep while waiting for me. Lazy as usual."
You huffed and crossed your arms while pouting, "I'm not the one who is always late."
Altair laughed at your pouty look then placed a small kiss on your forehead which made you smile. As Altair had taken you under his wing as his student, you two developed feelings for one another. You didn't want to develop feelings for him for fear of being rejected. He was your mentor and you didn't want it to be a taboo but you still wanted to try. For awhile, you weren't sure if he would reciprocate your feelings but after moonlit walk and a sweet kiss, your answer was solidified. Ever since then, you two have slowly developed a relationship. You were by his side to help him create a better order for your Assassin brothers. You looked up at him with big puppy eyes, "Do we have to train today?"
Altair sighed while shaking his head slowly, "You are not pulling this again, (Y/n). You keep putting it off and putting it off so we can be together."
"And that is wrong how?" you giggled slightly.
"Means I am not doing my job right," Altair quipped.
"As a Mentor, no. As a lover, yes," you added with a smile.
Altair smirked then placed a hand on your cheek, "If you learn the new techniques today, then we can spend the rest of day together."
"Do you promise this time?" you asked as you quirked a brow.
"Promise, habib albi," Altair vowed as he placed a kiss on your lips.
You kissed him back lightly then gazed into his dark eyes, "Then let's get started."
You were then brought out of your past and heard Lucy and Rebecca bickering with each other. You looked at them with groggy eyes then saw Rebecca smiling sheepishly at you.
"Sorry about that, (Y/n)!" Rebecca replied, "There was an slight malfunction with the Animus. Are you feeling ok?"
"Despite feeling like I was hit by a truck, not bad," you replied while sitting up.
"Sorry," Rebecca chuckled lightly while scratching the back of her head, "This will take a bit to fix. Try getting up and moving around a bit to get your senses back."
You looked over to see that Desmond was reading through a book and Shaun was doing his own thing which left you an opening. If your ancestor was able to express her feelings to a man she loved more than life, you know that you would have the courage to do the same. You had made your way over to him while slightly wringing your hands. Your presence had grabbed Desmond's attention, making him smile.
"What's up, (Y/n)?" Desmond asked.
You heart fluttered a little at his greeting and you cleared your throat, "Desmond, can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure," he replied while closing his book and setting it on the desk. You both stepped outside the door and he looked down at you with his dark eyes, "What did you want to talk about?"
"Well... umm," you stuttered lightly while still wringing your hands.
You couldn't believe it, you were starting to chicken out especially right in front of him. You wanted to shrink away but you felt Desmond place his hands over yours, making you look up at him. Your heart began to race while a blush dusted your cheeks from the contact.
"You can tell me," Desmond replied softly.
As you looked into his eyes, you felt more comfortable and at ease. Smiling, you moved your hands so you could intertwine your fingers with his.
"I ... I really, really like you, Desmond," you said almost quietly, "I have for awhile now and you made me feel safe and protected when we were at Abstergo. I owe you so much... and I started to fall for you."
Desmond chuckled lightly and stepped closer to you, "To be honest, I've like you ever since I saw you and I knew that I had to do everything to make sure you were safe. I... fell for you as well. I just didn't know how you would feel so I never acted on those feelings."
You couldn't help but have the biggest smile on your face as he felt the same about you, "Really?"
"Really," Desmond responded moving closer to your face, "I love you, (Y/N)."
He kissed you lightly to which you accepted his kiss and moved your arms to wrap around his neck. Desmond slipped his arms around your waist to bring you in closer to him, deepening the kiss. After facing so much hell, you felt like you were on top as long as you were with Desmond. Now you knew that he was by your side to protect you and most of all love you.
A/N: I think that was ok for my first Desmond/Altair oneshot ^^;;; Sorry if it wasn't that good but if it was, I hope you enjoyed it! I hope to try and make this a weekly thing for updates. Just need to get into the groove! Thanks for the support!
