A game, or real life? (Ezio x reader)

Nature's way of unfolding

"I know..." he nodded softly, and after reaching back to a small pouch attached to his belt, he revealed a few eagle feathers. "I'll place them in the box tomorrow, as soon as we get there..."

As I gazed down at the feathers, my mind drifted back to when I was still behind my desk, playing Assassin's Creed II. Seeing Ezio approach his little brother and hand him the few feathers he had asked for. The memory brought a soft smile to my lips. It was a short scene with very little dialogue, but it was so much more than that. I moved over to rest my head on his chest as he placed the feathers back in his pouch. "Did Petruccio ever mention why he wanted those feathers?"

He shook his head, a soft, melancholic smile painting his lips. "All he said was that he'd tell me, eventually. Now that I think about it....I guess he wanted to have a little piece of what's out there. Petruccio was always inside the palazzo because of his fragile health."

"Hmm..." I closed my eyes. "I'm pretty sure that, wherever he is now, he's proud of his big brother....just like I am..."

"Oh, (y/n)...~" he breathed out, just as I felt his soft lips against my forehead. "I really am going to miss you...~"

"I won't be long..." I cracked an eye open, enough for me to know where his lips were. I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his, humming softly in content as I felt him return it with passion. God, I was definitely going to miss his lips. But if luck was by our side, I'd only be away from Venezia for a few days at most. "I'll probably be back by the end of the week...~"

"Good, because I have a surprise for you...~" he gave me a playful smile. But before I was able to say anything, he interrupted me with a peck to my lips. "Only once you feel better."

"And you were complaining back when I gave you the sword of Altaïr..." I rolled my eyes, but couldn't prevent a soft smile from painting my lips. "I look forward to it...~"

"Then get better soon~" he breathed out teasingly, his faint scar lightly stretching out as his sexy lips curled into a smirk.

"Easier said than done, but thanks for the motivational boost~" I teased right back, giggling softly against his lips as he kissed me yet again.

"Riposa, amore mio...domani sarà una lunga giornata per te (Rest, my love...tomorrow will be a long journey for you)..." he whispered oh so lovingly against my lips, that I couldn't prevent the soft shiver from running down my spine.

Lightly caressing his cheek, I replied just as softly, just as lovingly. "Solo si vieni a riposare con me, sotto le coperte (Only if you come rest with me, beneath the covers)~"

"Sembra abbastanza giusto (Seems fair enough)~" he let out a soft chuckle, and got up from the bed so he could oh so teasingly remove his Assassin robes. Oh, what a fucking tease, putting on a show for me even though I wasn't feeling well. Or he wasn't, and I was just seeing things. Oh well, I was still enjoying the show. Finally only in his inner tunic and loose pants, he folded his robes into a neat pile and placed his armor over it while I pushed the sheets aside to welcome him. At last, I couldn't help but sigh in relief as I felt his large frame right by my side, and I didn't hesitate as I pressed my body right against his, with my head on his shoulder. My lower back ached in protest, but I couldn't care less.
