-chuckles softly-
Silly boy..of course i would be...

-chuckles and then shakes head-
...
-maria perks up a little-

-sad smile-
Doesn't matter.
You're here with me now.


-closes the door, sits and holds Henri, she nuzzles him and purrs-
You are too easily made jealous.
Malik is his dear friend...

Yes..yes i am..
-soft smile-

-hears the door close-
Ah?
-looks at malik-
I am going to check up on him,i will speak to you later..
-comes into the bedroom-
Remy?

What will the others say?
-tenses-


-looks up-
Oh hey.
-flustered-
So...pretty close to him, huh?
-trying to stay calm-

Who cares..
-growls-
I will explain it to them...i swear...

-chuckles-
Yes...Malik and i are .....very close.
-smiles-
Are you okay?

-closes eyes-
I don't want to face them-


....-wary-
How close...?
Where I'm from, only parents and lovers can touch daemons.
-almost accusing look-

I know...but i will vouce for you..
-small smile-

-raises brow-
....
Very very close.
-sighs then goes quite-

Thank you.
-buries face into-
.....


....Altair?
-tilts head-
....Do...do you love...him?

-hugs tightly-
Of course!

-sighs deeply-
I do.

-peaceful, just holds close-
.....
-dozes off-


-just stares, wasn't expecting that-
......
Oh.
-like a blow to his heart-


-henri looks shaken, fur puffed and ears back-

-watches him sleep for a bit-


Listen to me.
-frowns,reaches out for-
In my culture it is not unheard of to have more then one lover.
Do you understand?
I have not, and will not, be with him while i am also with you.
Unless you give the okay which looking at Henri i doubt.

-shudders, pushes ezio away, having a bad dream-
....!!!


....-winces, jerks out of reach-
......-looks at-
I...I thought maybe when you said you didn't love me, it...it would happen eventually... but now I see where your love is, and, it'll never come to me.


-swishes tail, staring at Maria-

-jerks,suprised-
Matty?
-gently touches his head-

-frowns-
Remy..
-sighs deeply-
Malik and i have had....a relationship off and on for years.
That does not mean i do not love you..
-sad look-

-still as death,watching Remy-

-cries out, wakes up-
.....!!!
-eyes wide, then calms, panting-
Ezio...Ohh...


...-looks at-
You told me you didn't love me.
-sad-
.......
-hurting-


....-pounces onto Remy's shoulder, continues to stare-

-strokes his hair-
Suuushh suushh..
its me..

-frowns-
....i do...love you..

-feels weak and pathetic-
.....


-looks at-
...-looks down-
You wouldn't be trying to keep me here if you didn't.
-sad-
-closes eyes-
-not sure if he should stay-


-purrs, tail wrapped around remy's neck-

Suush..
-small smile-

...I wont stop you if you really want to leave...
I rather you stay...with me...

-looks at-
Ezio, will you protect me from...him?


-shakes head-
I don't want to leave.
-sad-
but...that...really hurts.
-looks at-

yes...yes i will...

-sad look-
...i dont know what to say to help..

-lays back down, just exhausted-
Thank you...



-closes eyes-
The only thing is something I can't ask of you.
-visibly hurting-
.......

-nuzzles-
Sleep now...

-shakes head-
Ask me..please.

-dozes right off, comfortable-


....Stop loving him.
-sincere, hurt, pleading eyes-

-falls asleep too-

-shock,sighs-
I...cant..he...

I told you.
-looks at-
I can't ask you to...
-sad-

-sad,doesnt know what else to do-
...

-looks at the floor-
I still love you, Altair.
-sad-

I love you too..
-reaches for once more-

-Henri swats his hand away, low growl-
.....
Henri...
-frowns-

-startled-
I..i see...
-backs up-
Im sorry.

-swallows hard-
I'm sorry, Altair.
-looks down-
I can't speak for my soul.


You should be ashamed, Altair.
-growls, arches-

-sighs-
Why should i be ashamed?
-sad look-
Why? Because my own culture is once again diffrent then yours?
That before i even knew remy i loved him?
That is not fair.

-just said, doesn't want to stop Henri, but doesn't want Altair angry-


You should have said so from the beginning!
-digging claws into Remy's shoulder-
Instead of fooling Remy into believing he was yours and that was something to be proud of! Instead he's just another notch in your bedpost! How many others do you have, Altair? Why sleep with just Remy if you didn't intend to love only him?

-growls-
Two.
Happy? TWO people are the only people ive ever been in love with.
-looks pissed-
MAYBE I LIED? Maybe i do love him!?
Maybe justy maybe i told Malik about him and thats why we stopped?
-maria fluffing up-
But i guess that doesnt mean shit, that i turned away the one friend ive had since MY CHILDHOOD for him?
Fine, so be it.
-walks too the door, slams it as he leave-

-cringes, sits down-
-holds his head-

-Henri hops down to the floor, tail swishing in annoyance, stares at the door-
.......

-goes to his room,locks the door-
F-Fuck..
-curls up on his bed nuzzling maria-

-angry, pounces at Henri-
Why'd you have to say any of that!
-growls-


-yowls, scratches at the door-
I was just speaking my mind!

-just depressed-
...

-malik knocks on the door-
Hello..?

-when Remy opens the door, Henri bolts out-


.....-looks at-
.......What....

-raises brow-
I wanted to ask why Altair stormed out of this room looking like he wanted to strangle someone.

-sad-
I upset him and I'm too afraid to...
say I'm sorry.
-hurt, won't look at-
