College makes me really busy so I'm sorry that this took a bit to get out, but here it is.
I have to admit that college has been a big adjustment for me and I also have a job but I am going to try to update as much as I can.
also being a film major makes my schedual a bit unpredictable.
I'll try my best for you all.
Also hopefully soon there will be a short little side story about Lovino Rosetta and a goat.
The next night Leonardo stood just inside the front door of the little house. He was perfectly ready to go out again, his makeup was on and the dress in place.
"What are you waiting for?" Lovino came came down the hall to the kitchen, an apple in her hand, despite the fact that she was once again dressed as Niccola.
"It is just nerve racking," He sighed and glanced at her.
Lovino rolled her eyes and took a bite of her fruit. "You did perfectly fine yesterday,"
Leonardo wanted to say that what happened the night before does not change the fact that he is still nervous but decided instead to change the subject. "Why are you dressed up?"
"Because I wanted to go out, but I cannot do that dressed as myself, also being a man is more fun," She smirked. "I can get away with being unladylike," Then with a quick movement she reached around Leonado and opened the front door. "Anyway just get out there and enjoy yourself, If Ezio wants to see you then he will definitely find you,"
Feeling rather boxed in my Lovino's proximity, he stepped backwards out of the door. "Fine," He turned on one heel and began walking down the street. Behind him the door closed.
As he walked he huffed to himself. Lovino had basically shoved him out the door. Feeling rather irritated both at Lovino and himself for not being able to get out the door he walked through the crowds, not bothering to stop and enjoy the spectacles. He pushed the last wall of people out of the way and turned the corner finding an empty bench facing out toward the open water. With a sigh he sat on the bench.
After a moment he pulled out the pin that held his hair up and began twirling it in his hand while looking up at the sky. He wished that he could see the stars better. Back in the town of Vinci, where he was born, he simply had to go out the back door and he could see them all. But here the light of the city blocked many of the dimmer ones out.
Leonardo's attention was pulled from the dark sky above when a noise permeated his ears.
His blue eyes were pulled down to the water.
On the edge of the brickwork he could see a hand. slowly a man began to drag himself out of the water.
Leonardo quickly stood, rushing to help the man. He knew those white robes anywhere. "Ezio!"
From behind a sopping wet hood Ezio grinned back. "Lisa!" He reached out and took Leonardo's offered hand and pull himself out of the water.
"What in the world were you doing?"
Ezio began squeezing water out of his robes. "Sometimes the best way to get away from angry guards is to go in the water," he grinned at Leonardo then went back to removing the water from his cloths. "Most of them do not know how to swim,"
Leonardo crossed his arms and tried to look stern. "You will catch a cold,"
Deciding that he had gotten out all the water that he could the assassin stood up straight.
He still looked like a pitiful drowned cat. Leonardo could not help but reach out and tuck a long whet piece of hair behind Ezio's ear.
"I suppose a cold is better than being dead," The disguised artist crossed his arms again and tried not to blush as Ezio gave him another grin.
Abruptly Ezio reached out and grabbed Leonardo, forcefully pulling the blonde in front of him.
"Ezio! Wha-?" Leonardo's words were cut off as he felt a hard pressure against his lips.
Ezio was… he was kissing him!
When Leonardo realised that it was ezio's lips touching his, he closed his eyes and his brain went blank. All there he could feel was Ezio's mouth moving against his own, Ezio's hand in his hair the other moving from his arm to his waist. He did not give a single thought about Ezio's wet robes.
After what felt like hours to Leonardo, but was actually no more than thirty seconds. Ezio pulled back.
Heart beating like a bird in a cage. Leonardo blinked his eyes open to see Ezio looking back at the corner where the sounds of carnival could be heard.
After a moment the assassin turned his head back to Leonardo. "I apologize for that. I could hear some guards coming, I figured hiding myself behind you while looking like a normal couple would make them go away,"
"Oh," Leonardo's face dropped and he pulled himself out of Ezio's arms. "I understand," Of course his first kiss would be meaningless.
The brunette saw the disappointment fall across Leonardo and swiftly stepped forward wrapping his arms back around Leonardo.
"Lisa, please do not look so sad. It is not that I did not want to kiss you, because I did, and still do. I was simply looking for an excuse to do so," He smiles slyly.
Having Ezio so close made Leonardo blush, and as he spoke he felt himself blush even more. Their faces were only centimeters away and he could feel Ezio's strong arms circling his waist.
"How about I make it up to you?" Ezio raised one dark eyebrow.
Leonardo's blue eyes flicked up to Ezio's brown ones. "How?"
"Tomorrow night I will escort you around carnival. It will be just you and me," The look on his face was half flirting and half hope.
Hearing his offer Leonardo considered for a moment then nodded.
A happy grin slowly fell on Ezio's face. "May I ask one more thing before I escort you back to your home?"
"You just did," Leonardo could not help but tease.
Ezio shook his head and chuckled. "Something besides asking if I can ask something,"
Leonardo giggled and nodded.
Ezio took a breath. "May I kiss you again?"
Leonardo glanced to the side and bit his bottom lip before nodding.
It was even better the the first time.
