"You student is nearly as dangerous as you are, Altair," Malik said, standing beside the assassin as his apprentice trained in the ring against other assassins. The wounded man nodded, really only focusing on the boy's returning muscles. He loved that 'V' of muscle along his abdomen, which would only define as he worked his body.

The teen snarled at the heavy man pinning him, bringing his knee up to shove it up under his ribs. The man rolled off with a moan, clutching his middle in pain. Spectators cheered on the victorious teen as another assassin hopped in and started the next fight.

Kahleem's angry fist broke the man's nose as they tusseled and fought. Finally, the man left and the teen accepted praise from the villagers that had gathered to watch. He strode up to Altair and Malik, breathless and smirking.

"Well done, Kahleem," Malik said approvingly, "your leg seems to be causing you less pain."

"Thank you, Malik," he replied, dipping his sweaty head, "it is only thanks to you that it no longer bothers me." The two chatted a while before Malik dismissed himself, Kahleem picked up his white tunic from it's place over the ring's fence.

"How did I do, Master?" Kahleem's voice had that low, sexy edge as he called Altair by his title. He made sure to keep his voice to where only he and his partner could hear.

"Adequet," he replied softly, "come with me."

The two assassins lay in a soft patch of grass about two miles away from Masyaf where Altair usually went to be on his own. He'd chosen this place because no one knew where it was. He was glad no one could find it; he'd taken his partner again and made a sticky mess of the earth below.

"I love these," Kahleem murmured softly, his bruised hand plucking a lilac from it's place, "my mother had these growing all over the farm."

"You know, I don't know a thing about you," he laughed.

"You must be a whore," the teen snorted, "sleeping with a man you don't know."

"A boy," he corrected playfully, "you are only sixteen."

"How old are you, grandfather?" He jabbed, getting a flick to his still-sensitive nipple. "Ow!"

"Respect me, I'm still seven years your senior," Altair smirked, "I am twenty-three."

"Oh, and you are a man?" Kahleem shot back, rolling onto his nude partner. "You act like a screaming child when it comes to water."

The lighter-skinned man scoffed, giving the boy a half joking-half reprimanding slap to the rear. Kahleem's cheeks burned like the handprint that appeared there.

"Tell me about you," Altair inquired, letting his fingers dance along the other male's dark skin. "I am curious."

"There is not much to tell," he lied, "I do not remember much before we were taken to the concentration camp. I remember the flowers, that's about it."

He'd always been a cunning liar, it was always hard for one to decipher whether or not he was being truthful. On a rarity, he would lie to Altair, having found to reason before to keep the truth from him.

His past was painful, he did not like to remember it or reminisc, so he lied.

"Oh," Altair replied, then rolled himself over the boy, careful of his injured arm, "then tell me about you now."

"Me now?" Kahleem looked up at the man ontop of him, "well, the love of my life happens to be naked ontop of me, I find no shame in this."

"You are shameless?" Altair snorted, "then you must just be a greedy lover."

"Excuse me?"

"You do not indulge very often in things like this," he replied, "mostly when you please."

"If we did these things when you pleased, I would not be able to walk, talk or breathe, barely." Kahleem replied with a snort of his own, rolling the man off of him. "Not to mention, we would be caught for sure."

The older assassin glared with a huff.

"I am begining to think your apprentice is as unruly as you, yourself, Altair," Abbas sneered, "he insults his opponents needlessly and fights dirty."

"I think it is your own training that caused Farouk to lose," the silver-eyed man snapped, " your apprentice is twice as big and twice as fast as my own and neither leg is damaged, yet he lost. Your training is to be held accountable."

Farouk and Kahleem sat side by side on a bench as they watched their masters argue. Malik was currently treating a nasty cut along Kahleem's ribs.

"They have been fighting like this since Master Altair was a teenager," the Dai grumbled, "they have hated eachother forever."

"Altair's temper is beyond my understanding," Kahleem confessed with a sigh, watching his lover defend his honor. Farouk agreed with a chuckle.

"Master Abbas still has much to teach me," he admitted, "you could show me some things, you know."

"I just might," the teen replied, cursing as Malik's single hand pressed too roughly on the fresh wound. He scanned Altair's actions, predicting his words and then actions. This would end in a scuffle between the two. "Excuse me for a minute."

"You have always be-" Altair's shout at the fellow assassin was cut off as Kahleem tugged at his sleeve, "what."

"Let's go," Kahleem said, "I tire of the constant fighting, I wish to go on a walk."

"Fine," Altair snapped, allowing himself to be dragged away by his apprentice, throwing one last glare at Abbas.

The pair were soon hidden in a roof garden, Kahleem's hands fisted in Altair's open tunic. Their mouths were fused together, pants slowly getting tighter as the teen's lapdance gained fervor.

"Honestly, Altair," he grunted, "you need not defend me."

"As your mentor and partner, it is my duty and ch-choice," he replied, biting his lip as the teen's groin bucked into his own. The teen laughed softly, pressing another kiss to the scarred lips of his mentor.

"Shut your mouth, Altair," he said, "I think you only do it to look good and gain my affections."

"I see it is working," the man hissed, purposefully rubbing his hardened crotch at the other man's clothed behind. "Is it not?"

He recevied a snort, "like I said, shut your mouth." Kahleem ordered with a smirk, "it is going to ruin my mood."
