I'm sorry… I am just the laziest person ever about actually updating this story. I have it all planned out and I know exactly what is going to happen but then I just get to lazy to type it up.
Lately I have been working on scripts for some Assassins Creed videos and I have been doing a ton of artwork. Which reminds me, my friends and I are working on a comic it can be found on tumblr or Deviantart under the username Themusicmansion. So please check it out! (Look at that self promotion)
Okay on to the story.
Leonardo stood next to Lovino and Rosetta as he waved to to Salia from the rail of the boat. He kept waving as he spoke of Lovino. "So we take this boat to Forli and then come right back?"
Lovino tuned and leaned her back on the rail. "That is the plan,"
"And my things? Why are we sending them to Rome?" Leonardo stopped waving and lowered his arm to the rail and watched Venice start to disappear.
"Actually they are being sent to just outside Rome, a small town named Cerveteri," The blond assassin pushed her hood off of her head and looked up at the sky. "That is where my home is, I had to move some of your things to make it actually look like you were going to my home. Your things will stay there for a month and then be sent back. I have already sent my father a letter about all the boxes of art supplies,"
The artist gave her a bit of a worried look.
"Do not worry," She chuckled. "I told him nothing about putting you in a dress and getting a man to love you, he just knows that I need to make it look like a friend of mine has left the city,"
Leonardo let out a sigh of relief. "You had me worried for a moment. I must say, you are much smarter than you make yourself appear," He smiles.
From the other side of Lovino Rosetta starts to laugh
It takes them most of the day to get to Forli and back again partially because Lovino insists on having a look around the town, claiming to have never been before.
When they return to Vince it is night and the two assassins hurry through the streets hoods pulled low. Neither of them wants to be recognised and asked why they are still in the city. When they reach the house Leonardo is practically shoved through the door.
Once the heavy wood is closed behind Leonardo, the reality of situation crashes down on him. Starting tomorrow he will have to pretend be a woman for a whole month. Starting tomorrow he will also be tricking Ezio into falling in love with him. This is the worst idea ever. He feels his breath speeding up and the walls seem to be closing in.
"Hey, Leonardo are you okay?" Rosetta turned worried blue eyes toward him.
"Yes… I'm...fine," With the last word he bolts up the stairs and into his room closing the door behind him.
He hastily threw off his hat and cape, not caring at all where they landed in the room. With a huff of air he fell face down on the bed. Pulling one of the pillows toward him and hugged it tightly to his chest, clenching his eyes shut.
What is he doing? He is going to have to deal with a month of being a girl and trying to trick his best friend into falling in love with him. He is about to participate in the dumbest plan ever conceived! Not for the first time he wishes he had never met Lovino or Rosetta, then his little crush would have remained just that, a little crush. But those two women had to bust into his life and fill him with hope.
As Leonardo wallowed in despair he heard the soft creak of the bedrooms door opening. Footsteps sounded as the person crossed the room. The artist felt the bed dip next to him as they sat and a gentle hand brushed through his hair. Slowly, he turned his head and looked up at the person sitting next to him.
Rosetta sat on the edge of the bed, a kind smile on her face. "Hey," She continued to run her hand through Leonardo's hair.
"Hello," He replied.
"What is the matter?" There was no judgment in Rosetta's eyes, only concern.
Leonardo sighed and looked away from her. "I do not think I can do this, tricking my best friend… Not to mention that I doubt Ezio won't recognize me at some point,"
"Well, you know Lovino and I will be there incase anything goes wrong. You do not need to worry about that, as for tricking your best friend," She laughs a bit. "I do that all the time…" The assassin was quiet a moment but her hand never stilled as it stroked through his hair. "You like experiments don't you? Think of it as an experiment, to see what Ezio is like around other people. He is sure to act different around a woman then he is around you,"
The blond let out a puff of air. "I suppose that is true… But what about after this month?"
"What do you mean, after this month?"
"Well, after this month of Carnival I will be forced to go back to just being Leonardo, I cannot keep being Lisa for the rest of my life. I know that if Ezio really does fall in love with me as a woman then it will hurt him when he never gets to see her, er, me again," He sighs and starts playing with the blanket under him.
"At least you will still get to see him, you will always be his best friend," She gives him an encouraging smile. "If anything you can exchange letters with him as Lisa. You would just need to change your handwriting a bit. And anyways I'm pretty sure Ezio will not get too upset over losing a girl,"
Leonardo lets out a little huff of a laugh.
"Do not worry Leonardo, things will work out in the end. You are not going to lose your life, or your friends or your do-dads,"
The artist sits up a bit at that and smiles. "My do-dads?"
"Yeah!" Rosetta removes her hand from Leonardo's hair and crosses her arms. "Your painting stuff, your do-dads,"
At that Leonardo actually laughs. "Thank you, Rosetta,"
The brunette grins. "Of course, I do not want you worrying about all this and stressing yourself out. This is supposed to be exciting and fun,"
"I think this is more you and Lovino's type of exciting,"
Rosetta laughed. "I cannot deny that,"
After a few moments of comfortable silence Rosetta yawns. "It is late and we have a big day tomorrow so I am going to head to bed," yawning again Rosetta stood from the bed and walked to the door.
"Alright, see you in the morning," Leonardo also stands from the bed and shuffled to the wardrobe. He felt exhausted from the traveling and intense emotions.
"Hey, Leonardo," Rosetta had stopped at the door. "If you are still feeling off tomorrow… or anytime, please come talk to me,"
"I will," Leonardo nodded. He was glad that Rosetta had talked to him, not that his fears were totally abated but he felt lighter. Perhaps everything would be okay.
