"Um Jacob we have to get up" I said groggily as I woke up from a rather pleasant dream about a certain British assassin.

"Five more minutes love" Jacob mumbled without opening his eyes. I rolled my eyes and moved to get up from the loveseat but he just hugged me tighter to him.

"If you want to sleep that's fine but I would like to get ready," I said as I struggled against his hold.

"No stay" Jacob whined before falling asleep again, I gave up struggling as I let out a defeated sigh and waited for him to fall into a deep slumber. When I felt his chest slowly rise and fall a few minutes later I carefully slipped out of his arms and moved to get ready for the day.

~Timeskip~

"This fool is still asleep?" I asked myself with a shake of my head when I walked back into Jacob's cart. I had taken a bath and put on my clothes but Jacob was still fast asleep on the loveseat. I rolled my eyes before I went over to him and gave his shoulder a little shake.

"Come on Jacob you've slept-" I stopped when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist and pull me down on the loveseat making me yelp. I looked up to see Jacob hovering over me with a devilish smirk.

"Well hello there love" Jacob greeted in a low voice and I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"U-um Jacob we should have breakfast before we go" I stuttered and Jacob's eyes glinted in mischief.

"Mmm breakfast? I didn't know you were so forward (Y/N)" Jacob said in mock astonishment.

"That's not what I mean and you know it!" I said defensively making Jacob laugh.

"Well your lips look quite delightful, mind if I have a taste?" Jacob asked in a husky voice as he leaned his face closer to mine. My breath hitched at how close his face was until I saw Evie in the doorway with a smirk on her face.

"Oh Evie! Didn't see you there!" I exclaimed, my voice slightly higher then normal making Jacob turn his head to look at his sister.

"Must you ruin everything Evie" Jacob said with an annoyed sigh as he got up from the loveseat.

"Ruin what exactly?" Evie asked innocently and I was half glad and disappointed when she appeared at the moment.

"Um Evie I didn't get a chance to thank you for doing my hair yesterday, it was exactly what I wanted," I said with a smile as I got up from the loveseat.

"You're welcome (Y/N) I could style your hair again if you'd like?" Evie offered with a soft chuckle and I nodded enthusiastically.

"Yes if you don't mind?" I said with a small laugh and Evie gave me a reassuring smile.

"Not at all, we can go in my cart since I'm sure my brother needs a nice cold bath" Evie teased Jacob as she opened the door to her cart.

"And that's why your cart is right next to the engine. " Jacob commented with a snort as he started to get himself ready for the day. Evie shut the door to give him privacy and brought me over to the mirror to style my hair.

"Would you like something different or the same as yesterday?" Evie asked as she started to brush my hair.

"Same as yesterday, I didn't get the chance to fully appreciate it and today seems like it might be the perfect opportunity," I said with a hum as Evie started pulling back the strands.

"Oh? You're leaving the train then?" Evie asked curiously but I could detect the hint of worry in her voice.

"Yeah but I'm not going alone, Jacob is coming with me since he wants to give me a tour of London."

I felt Evie's fingers pause at my response for a few moments before she resumed her work.

"Interesting...well I guess that makes sense since you're not from here. Although I think my brother is doing it because he fancies you." Evie said innocently as she looked at me through the mirror but I averted my eyes.

"Pssh I'm sure he's nice to every girl," I said in a dismissive tone and Evie arched her eyebrow with a smirk.

"Sure he's a natural flirt but he's paying extra attention to you. I have to give you my applause because I've never seen him try so hard, it's quite entertaining." Evie said with a laugh as she finished with my hair and I couldn't help but laugh with her.

"And what is so funny hm?" Jacob questioned with an arched eyebrow as he entered the cart fully dressed and ready for the day.

"Oh just how long it takes for you to do your hair, would you like some tips on how to shorten that timespan brother dearest?" Evie teased as she walked over to him and ruffled his hair which was easy considering they were the same height.

"Oi! Watch it!" Jacob growled in annoyance as he slapped her hand away and slicked his dark brown hair back into place with his fingers.

"Come on Fryes lets get some breakfast, I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," I said eagerly as I headed to the dining cart with a spring in my step. The twins looked at each other in confusion as they followed me.

"What did she say?" Evie questioned her brother quietly.

"No bloody clue, I didn't even know you could eat horses."

"Well, I heard that some people eat cats and dogs in other countries so I guess that's not too surprising?"

"Disgusting."


"So (Y/N) where are you from if you don't mind me asking?" Henry asked me as all of us were eating breakfast. By all I mean us and the twins, if I were to be honest with myself I would say it felt like a double date. I was sitting next to Jacob in the both while Evie sat with Henry across from us but I wouldn't dare to say it out loud because of one. I enjoyed how we were all together since it gave that cozy feel and two, I would never hear the end of it from Jacob.

"I'm from America, I lived there all my life and I've never left the country. Until now since I count getting sucked into Britain as me leaving the country." There was a collective laugh from the three of them at my little joke.

"Makes sense with your accent, and how old are you?" Evie questioned curiously and I could feel Jacob tense beside me. He seems to be nervous to hear my answer but was careful not to show it on his face as he looked at me as well to hear it.

"I'm eighteen," I said with a bright smile and Jacob's body relaxed at that fact that I wasn't too young.

"Would you look at that Evie? Only two years younger than me" Jacob said with a happy hum as he picked up his cup to drink his tea.

"What if she already has a boyfriend from her world hm?" Evie said innocently but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes that came with messing with her little brother. Jacob's face fell at the thought before he turned to me.

"Do you have a lad in your world?" Jacob asked, getting straight to the point. I shook my head since I was currently eating a biscuit and quickly swallowed before answering.

"Nope never had" I answered as I reached for my tea while Jacob let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh good beca-wait, you've never had a boyfriend?" Jacob asked, clearly shocked by this revelation.

"Nope."

"Have you kissed another man?"

"Nope."

Jacob then put on his trademark devilish smirk at my answer, I didn't pay attention to him while I picked up my tea to drink. He on the other hand looked at me thoughtfully before speaking.

"So you must be a virgin?"

I nearly spit out my tea at his question but thankfully I was able to cover my mouth before I sprayed Evie. She of course was glaring at her brother for asking such a direct question at breakfast.

"It's too early in the morning for that question," I said in a dismissive tone as I wiped my mouth with a napkin.

"So that's a yes?" Jacob said thoughtfully before he hissed in pain when Evie kicked him under the table.

"For God's sake Jacob shut up."

"What? I'm just asking a question."

"A question you don't ask people out of nowhere, especially at breakfast!"

Henry rolled his eyes when the twins started bickering again, I looked between the twins before I picked up a biscuit and shoved it into Jacob's mouth to stop their mini fight. Jacob almost spit out the biscuit since he wasn't expecting the intrusion but the distraction helped since Evie was laughing her ass off now and Jacob was trying to swallow or not choke on the biscuit. I quickly pushed him to get out of the booth before another bickering match started.

"Let's go Jacob! We still have that tour of London!" I said as the train came to a stop and I grabbed his hat before placing it on his head while rushing him out of the train. I could still hear Evie laughing even when the train slowly pulled out of the station.

"You're on my sister's side eh?" Jacob said with a mock pout as he fixed his top hat.

"The only side I'm on is 'stop Jacob and Evie fighting so my ears don't bleed, what district are we in any way?" I asked curiously as I walked with him out of the train station.

"Seems like we're in Lambeth, not a bad start. Now come on love we have to see all of London before the day ends!" He said excitedly as he grabbed my hand and made a run for a parked carriage.

"Of course you would steal a carriage!" I said with a laugh as he helped me up before sitting next to me and took the reigns.

"We're not stealing it love we're simply borrowing it" Jacob said with a wink before he started the carriage at a steady pace (thank god) and so began the tour.


Despite arriving in London not long ago Jacob was actually quite familiar with it. You could tell he had done his fair share of exploring since he was pointing out the best stores, restaurants, and pubs. He also talked about his plans with the Rooks, even though I had an idea before with the game it was nice to see his eyes light up. It was easy to see the passion and dedication he had in his gang, not caring how many templars he would have to eliminate to reach his main goal. Claiming all of London. He was certainly ambitious, a trait I admired since I knew he would be able to do it. He certainly had the confidence and the skills for it.

It was early afternoon when we stopped by Green Park in Westminster to take a stroll and stretch our legs from riding in a carriage for so long.

"Do you miss it?" He asked curiously while we walked arm in arm. I thought over my answer for a few moments before responding.

"Well right now after spending the day seeing London with you as my guide no. I can't say for sure yet in general but so far I haven't felt homesick yet. I'm sure I will at one point since it's only natural."

"Fair enough love," Jacob said with a soft chuckle just before an elderly couple stopped by us.

"Oh! You two make a wonderful couple!" The elderly woman commented with a bright smile.

"Oh we-" I started to clear the misunderstanding but Jacob quickly cut me off.

"Just got married," Jacob said with a grin and I stared at him, what kind of game was this boy playing at?

"Planning any youngsters?" The man asked and Jacob wrapped his arm around my shoulders and gave it a light squeeze.

"Well I wouldn't mind trying for two or three if she'll let me right Mrs. Frye?" Jacob purred at me and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes. From the glint in his eyes, he was having way too much fun with this.

"Let's go with one for now," I said with a forced smile and Jacob laughed.

"Always makes me laugh, I just knew from the moment I met her she was the one. Practically love at first sight" Jacob said with a wistful sigh.

"Aww it's always nice to see young love! Well we will let you two be! Nice meeting you!" The elderly woman said before she walked off with the man. When they were far enough I removed his arm from my shoulder.

"What the hell was all that about?" I questioned him while crossing my arms and he simply shrugged with a devilish smirk.

"What? I can't live out my fantasy just for a few minutes love?"

"So your fantasy is for us to get married and have two or three kids?"

"It's a nice fantasy isn't it love?"

I blinked at his response before laughing, I couldn't help it since that's something I knew he wouldn't take seriously.

"Good one Jacob! Come on there's more of London I have to see!" I said as I skipped on ahead, Jacob sighed softly before putting on a smile and followed me out of the park.


It was night by the time we got back to the train, I was ready for bed but despite how tired I was I really enjoyed the day with Jacob. He had made me laugh more times then I could count (even that little stunt in the park was funny afterward.)

"I soon as I get in the train I'm going to faceplant on the couch and pass out," I said with a yawn as we headed up the steps of the train station.

"That tired love? Well in that case" Jacob responded before he picked me up bridal style.

"Jacob! People are starting to stare!" I said in embarrassment when I noticed people giving us weird looks.

"So? I'm simply helping a lovely lady who's tired and her feet hurt."

"I'm not that-wait how did you know my feet hurt I didn't say anything?"

"Your pace slowed down and you were dragging your feet. From what you told me about your world you didn't need to walk too much and we walked for hours when those blokes messed with our carriage."

I couldn't help but stare at him at the revelation of his observation skills, he didn't seem the type to pay attention to those things. It seemed like the more time I spent with Jacob the more I got to see his true colors.

"I didn't realize you were so observant" I commented softly without looking away.

"Anything that interests me I give my full attention love" Jacob responded with a wink before sitting down at a bench to wait for the train with me sitting on his lap. I tried to get off to sit next to him instead but he placed one arm over my thighs and the other around my waist to keep me there. I gave up after a few failed attempts and I heard him chuckle next to my ear.

"Love what do I have to do to show you that I'm serious about pursuing you hm?" He questioned as he turned his head to look at me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked before yawning into my hand.

"I've tried to give you so many signs that I'm interested in you and you always think I'm joking."

"Aren't you though?"

His face turned serious at my response before he heaved out a sigh.

"No (Y/N) I'm not joking."

"Mhmm."

"You're making it really hard to not cross a boundary that would prove I'm serious."

"If you're looking for someone to roll in the sheets for a quickie then go to a prostitute because you're looking in the wrong direction."

"That's not my intention."

"Then what are you are you looking for with me?"

My question seemed to catch him off guard and he had to pause to think it over.

"I don't know yet."

"Then clearly you're not serious, I'm tired and you're comfy so I'm going to bed."

"But-" Jacob started but stopped when he saw that I had already fallen asleep on his shoulder. He watched me sleep until the train arrived before he stood up from the bench to carry me onto the train.

~Jacob's Pov~

Leaning against the doorway of my cart I looked at (Y/N)'s sleeping form on the loveseat. I had taken off her jacket, boots, and corset so she was more comfortable but didn't dare to take off anything else. The last thing I needed was her thinking I was trying something with her. Taking off my hat I placed it on the desk before walking out of the cart to head to the dining area. Making sure to close the door quietly so her sleep wouldn't be disturbed and as soon as I arrived I headed to the bar to grab the first bottle I touched. Not caring which alcohol it was I just needed something right now with all these thoughts in my head.

Plopping myself in the booth I unscrewed the bottle and took an eager swig. I was glad that no one was around now, I wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone, not even my Rooks.

"Wow brother this is the first time I've seen you lost in thought, it's good to see you actually use your brain." Evie teased as she walked over to the booth, so much for having the place to myself.

"I'm not in the mood Evie" I sighed as I rubbed my forehead. Evie sat down across from me, she had on a poker face but I could see the worry in her eyes.

"What's wrong Jacob?"

"Nothing."

"It's about (Y/N) isn't it?"

I stayed quiet at her question and that seemed to be a good enough answer since she reached over and took the bottle from me before I could react.

"Oi!"

"You're not getting this until you talk about it so talk" Evie commanded before taking a sip from the bottle. I gave her a glare before finally giving in with a sigh.

"She never takes my hints seriously."

"Oh so you are actually interested in her? I thought you were simply teasing her."

"Why the bloody hell does everyone think I'm joking about this?!"

"Because I've never seen you serious about a woman, you go as far as flirting so you could take them to bed and you move on to the next afterward. Are you looking to just get into bed with her?"

"No!"

"Then what do you want with her?"

"Oh for God's sake...she asked me the same thing..." Jacob grumbled as he slumped in his seat.

"And what did you say?"

"I said I don't know and I still don't know..."

"What did she say?"

"That I clearly wasn't being serious then."

Evie rolled her eyes at her brother's response and gave him a little glare.

"You're a moron."

"I know, I screwed it up a little didn't I?"

"It's not a matter of screwing it up, you need to figure what you want so you don't confuse her with your "hints". She's not like other women that just fall to your feet when you purr in their ear, she won't be interested unless you show her that you know what you want from her and what you're willing to give her."

"Look at Evie Frye giving relationship advice when she can't even admit her feelings for Greenie."

"I'm being serious Jacob and we're not talking about me or Mr. Green we are talking about you and your poor commitment skills."

"I know it's just annoying when you're right," I said in annoyance as I rested my chin in my hand and sighed.

"You should be used it by now, now stop pouting it doesn't suit you" Evie teased as she slid the bottle over to me, I caught it with my other hand before taking a large sip from it and slid the bottle back over to her. As much as I hate to admit Evie was right, I needed to figure out what I was feeling and what I wanted in order to pursue (Y/N) properly. It was just frustrating to me because inside, everything was a mess. Nothing was clear and I knew that in order to figure it out I needed to really think things through, I just wasn't used to that or these feelings but I guess time will help with that.

"Well I'm heading off to bed," I said tiredly as I stood up to head to my cart, before I left I stopped in the doorway and turned my head to the side.

"Thanks Evie" I said quietly before walking out. Evie shook her head with a smile as she inspected the bottle.

"You're welcome you idiot."
