Shaun froze, his fingers released the white cloth but Desmond didn't' move, he just stared into Shaun's eyes watching as man's mind tried to process what he'd just said… it was like watching a computer fail, it's system crashing… his eyes darting from side to side… then back to Desmond's, the only thing the young assassins could think to do was to kiss him again, he wrapped his arms around the older man and pressed their lips together, Shaun was still in shock, he didn't move, his eyes were wide, the finally
"Desmond…" Shaun muttered between their lips
"What? Desmond muttered back, trying to get Shaun to kiss him back
"Why are we doing this?" he asked, Desmond stared at him
"After what we've done I think this is nothing" Desmond hissed before pressing his lips to Shaun's again
"But I didn't want to-" Shaun started, Desmond sat up, his eyes wide
"You… didn't want to?" he asked
"Not particularly" Shaun muttered
"But… but" Desmond muttered, his eyes were stinging
"Look Desmond… I do like you… but… I never saw anything like this, it's not me, and I'm not gay" Shaun sighed, he didn't want Desmond to get hurt… which usually happened when he dated people… I just couldn't hold a relationship together…
"Why don't I believe you?" Desmond asked, his eyes watering…
"Maybe because of what happened last night, I don't know Desmond, it's all too much for me…" Shaun sighed, he really was confused, his body was betraying him and he hated himself for it…
"Shaun… please" Desmond muttered… "Give this a chance" Shaun stared up at him "how do you know that you're not gay if you've never been in a relationship?"
"I've just never found men attractive" Shaun shrugged
"What about women?" Desmond pressed
"No… but" Shaun started
"Exactly!" Desmond shouted "you don't know!" he raised a fist in anger but aimed at the wall leaving cracks and flecks of paint falling away
"Desmond, don't get worked up about this" Shaun sighed
"Don't fuck with me Vi distruggerò" Desmond snarled (i will destroy you) Shaun swallowed
"demsmond i'm not playing with you" he warned but his fears were confirmed as he watched desmond's eyes bleed into that almost luminous gold colour of ezio's
"ti sembro io sono cazzo a giocare con voi?" Desmond roared (do I look like I'm fucking playing with you?) Desmond could still understand English, the change wasn't complete yet
"Desmond stop this!" Shaun cried out "don't do this!" but it was no longer Desmond… Ezio slammed his fist against the wall again, this time going through the thin drywall, Shaun swallowed hard and back away against the wall
"sei fottuto ora Shaun" (you're fucked now Shaun) the Englishman started to shake, he was genuinely scared, knowing full well that his body would betray him again, that he and Desmond would never be able to look at each other again…
"Striscia ... ora!" (strip... now!) desmond barked, shaun whimpered and started to pull off his sweater, pulling his shirt with it, he threw it onto the ground and started unblucking his belt, desmond slowly licked his lips and watched as his friend whimpered and shook under his gaze... but something stirred in his mind...
"desmond... please" shaun whimpered...
"Attendere ... shaun ..." Desmond muttered (wait… Shaun…) Shaun paused just as he unbuttoned his pants…
"What's wrong?" he asked, suddenly Desmond wrapped his arms around him
"Io non voglio farti del male" (I don't want to hurt you) Desmond whimpered…
"What?" Shaun gasped
"Ho appena ... i... ti amo" Desmond cried (i just... i... love you) Shaun swallowed hard... he was so confused... maybe it was fear... maybe it was love, he didn't know, he'd neverfelt this way, he didn't want to hurt Desmond... he never wanted to hurt Desmond...
"Desmond favore ... combattere questa" (please Desmond… fight this) Shaun whispered… he didn't want to fight his feelings any longer… but he didn't want to deal with Ezio in the process…
"Non so cosa stai dicendo" (I don't know what you're saying) Desmond whimpered "ma vorrei che ho fatto..." (But I wish I did…) Shaun sighed a little against his chest "Voglio amarti ... veramente io..." (I want to love you… really I do…) Desmond suddenly drew his face close to Shaun's; he pressed his lips to his friend's cheek and sighed
"Fammi" (let me) Desmond hushed, Shaun's fingered let go of his trousers letting them fall to the ground before Ezio caught his lips in a soft kiss…
