After Leonardo finished the tale, his assistant burst into laughter.

"What were you going to do with him if you didn't want to confess? Make him a pie?"

Leonardo threatened to throw a wooden block at him. But instead he stomped his feet. "He's like the only man I really fell for... No offense, my assistant."

"None taken. Besides even though I hold Aristotle in high regard, I still prefer a woman - the one with the breasts, the vagina, and a plus with the voluptuous derriere. Oh, yes. Lick lick."

Leonardo watched as his assistant seemed to savor the moment, but blurted out, "I don't just mean the physical aspect. I had some share of men before, but Ezio's someone I just want to spend my whole life with."

He continued with his litany, "Being with him, I could share stories, sit by the candle lights, shop the market. Oh, how I wish I could spend summers with him in his villa in Monteriggioni. We'd horseback ride through the fields of Tuscano, and maybe visit my hometown. Oh, and we'd eat grapes on the front porch. I wouldn't mind taking strolls behind, even by the statues."

"Yes, the assistant interjected, "I'm sure you would make the residence unhappy. I mean, your moaning would echo through the fields."

Leonardo groaned. "Who would want to be with a mad inventor and a clumsy artist?"

"Listen, if it makes you feel better: If I fancied men, I would join you in bed. Satisfied?" The assistant chuckled. "But, honestly, Master, let him know how you feel. You're good friends... way too good. If he finds you insane, I'll steal his pants the next time I see him on the streets." He exited humored.

Leonardo shook his head. He picked up some prosciutto and chewed on it. Then he pounced back on his bed, thinking about the reasons why he should let Ezio be. Advancing on Ezio would violate him. He fancies women just like my perverted assistant, Leonardo thought.

Still the assistant was right; Leonardo hadn't confessed to Ezio. It might cost him his friendship and he felt restless.

He made up his mind. He would let Ezio know. But how?

A/N:

Yeah, that was really, really short. Hehe. ;)

I guess from the start I planned for this fic to be short and sweet .

Plus, it's been a couple of months since I last updated. I don't want to keep your guys hanging. So sorry! I might write a sequel to this, and may even write another fic about these two. Thanks again for the support! :D
