You finally became a master assassin and you had been transferred to Florence from your childhood home in (t/n) to help a number of assasins in training. You were accompanied on your journey by your childhood friend Gabriano, you had known him since you were 5 years old, when he saved you from drowning, he was just one year older than you but he learned to swim as his parents were assassins (let's just ignore the fact Altair can't swim and pretend all assassin's learn how to swim) ever since then he had a small crush on you, but he would never admit it, he felt safe with you...sure you rose up the ranks quickly, faster than him in fact but it wasn't your status that made him feel safe, he liked the way you carried yourself and he felt like he could tell you anything... But you would never like him back, or would you? He wasn't so sure now you were moving to Florence as he had herd of a novice assassin who would quickly rise in the ranks as you did and he had met with him some years back he herd he was popular with the ladies. Gabriano cringed at the thought of you falling for him, he just hoped the rumours weren't true...

Y/n's pov

I woke up in what I assumed to be the assassin's base in Florence, I specifically told Gabriano to wake me up before we got there! My cheeks flushed red once I relised I must have been carried in here by him. This isn't the first time I've been lulled to sleep by the slow trotting of the horse only that time there was no one to catch me when I fell off the horse and broke my arm.

'miss y/n-...?' a somewhat masculine voice called out before trailing off not knowing what to say.

Gabriano!! I'm gonna kill that son of a- the door swung open to reveal a quite frightened man who seemed to be clutching a letter on old parchment, he was dressed in white assassin's attire his hood covering his face from the nose down he quickly straightened himself out pulling down his his hood and with his Free hand passing me the letter.
Now I had a chance to look at this guys face he was surprisingly attractive I hadn't noticed I had zoned out taking in all his features from his chestnut brown tied hair to his golden brown eyes and his soft kissable lips curled into a smirk- wait - a smirk? Was he smirking at me? Oh God I'm staring at him!
He waved the letter in front of my face I of course quickly turned my attention to the letter my brow furrowed in annoyance as my cheeks reddened unintentionally not of anger but of embarrassment, but he didn't know that , he backed away a bit.

"I...err herd of your stealth and outstanding combat skills...I hope you don't mind but I signed for a training contract with you...I was um told to report back to you. They said I should be accepted as I was the second to apply"

"what? Who was the first?!"

"apparently some guy named Gabriano, he seemed familiar he said I shouldn't apply for training with you he seemed very insistent"

"God damn you and your over protectiveness!" I cursed under my breath it was barely audible but he seemed to hear it.

"you know him Bella?"

"Unfortunately yes. He gets way too overprotective."

"so your dating him?" his eyes seemed to narrow as he tensed for a moment he leaned against the doorframe as if he was trying to act casual but you could see the mix of longing and sadness in his eyes.

"No." You replied simply as your eyes scanned the document straightened between your fingertips. His signature smirk returned to his lips as a wave of relief hit him, he had only just met you! He had to keep up his reputation but that wasn't easy as he was quickly falling for you.

"Hey by the way, novice...what's your name?"

"it's enzio, enzio aditore".
