Chapter 21

"Hoshi! Honey! What happened?" Damien asked as I collapsed into his arms, sobbing. "E-Ezio...H-He's an a-asshole!" I sobbed out as Damien looked pissed now. "What did this Ezio do to you?" Damien demanded. "I-I went back to the mansion...I-I bought him new armor...W-We were going out to look for mother and father...W-When I entered his room...H-He was in bed...W-With some red head..." I whimpered, Damien's arms tightening around me. "Shhh...Honey...I got you...Don't worry..." Damien soothed, rubbing my back. "Is any of your stuff at this mansion?" Damien asked and I just nodded. Damien gently took my hand, leading me outside. "Let's go get it...You can stay with me..." Damien said. When we got outside we seen Ezio kill the last guard. Damien's arms went tight around me as Ezio got the wrong idea, thinking he was hurting me. Ezio flicked out his hidden blades, charging at Damien. "DAMIEN! NOO! EZIO! STOPPPP!" I screamed out but was too late. The blades slammed into Damien, Damien's body hitting the ground. I stared in horror. The man I love killed the man who was like a father to me.

"...Damien...Oh Damien...I'm sorry..." I began crying as I fell to Damien's side. "I thought he was going to hurt you...You ran out of the mansion-" Ezio tried to finish but I screamed out a "WHO THE HELL IS SHE! WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU WITH HER! YOU KILLED MY DAMIEN!" I slammed my fists into Ezio's chest as he just grunted a bit as he just looked at me. "...Y-Your...D-Damien...?..." Ezio stuttered out as he fell back and onto his ass "...I-I didn't know...Y-You were...S-Seeing...A-Anyone..." Ezio muttered, looking a bit hurt. I heard Damien beginning to pant a bit, I looked over, gasping. I placed my hands over the wounds as I began healing them. I smiled softly when Damien slowly sat up, pulling me to his chest. "Damien! Thank God you're okay!" I cried out, snuggling into him as I sat in Damien's lap. Damien smiled, wiping away my tears and kissed my forehead. "I guess I should leave you to be with your lover" Ezio spat out the last part like it was poison on his tongue. "My lover? Damien? Pfft, you wish-" I began but was cut off by Ezio nearly yelling a "I DO NOT WISH FOR YOU TO BE TAKEN BY ANYONE! ONLY BY ME!" I stopped, my jaw dropped slightly as Ezio's face heated up with a dark blush. I quickly snapped out of it and said a "Oh? And what of the red-head huh? You seemed to be quite fond of her Ezio Auditore! And Damien is like a second father to me!" Ezio just looked upset. "...Hoshi...I'm sorry...She was an ex...I didn't know...Hoshi...Please..." Ezio dropped to his knees, begging. "Please Hoshi...Please forgive me..." Ezio whimpered out.

"Why should Hoshi take you back? I mean you fucked her up!" Damien shouted at Ezio, pissed off at him. "I know I don't deserve it...But Hoshi...Please..." Ezio whimpered out again. "Ezio..." I said softly, a soft smile on my lips. I couldn't stay mad at him. I moved from Damien's lap and over to Ezio. I moved, wrapping my arms around him, hugging him tightly but stopped and pulled back. Ezio seemed a little surprised "Ezio. Go home. Get a bath. You reek of HER." I spat out, snarling at him from the scent. Ezio let out a soft chuckle but nodded, heading home. Damien just let out a soft laugh, kissing my forehead. "Seems like you love him Hoshi." Damien teased. "Yea...I do..." I answered truthfully. "Well I'm happy if you're happy..." Damien said softly. "Now, go watch your man, keep him in line Honey. And I wish you all the luck of being able to find Mr. and Mrs. Izayoi." Damien said with a smile. I nodded, getting up and began to walk home.
