Trust Needs To Be Earned

-

"E-Ezio..." You whispered out in utter shock. The dumbfoundment of his appearance was not in vain, you hated the guts out of him. He left you. Left you all alone for 10 years.

"What are you doing here?" You asked bitterly, and you could see the hurt that you left him.

"I'm here to see you," He stepped forward towards you, but immediately you took a step back. His steps haltered and he frowned at your rejection towards his contact, "[y/n], please-"

"Mamma!" Came a sweet voice, and as you both turned, your son came stumbling towards you.

His hair was of ebony brown that shone in the sunlight, and his chocolate buttoned eyes contrasted with his pale complexion. He was a spitting imagine of Ezio, and you knew from the way Ezio froze at the sight of your son, that he knew he was his.

"Biaiardo, what's that around your face?" You asked, Biaiardo had red smears around his lips and as you wiped it off with your thumb and smelt your fingers, you noticed it was berries, "Have you been in Signore Abelli's berry bush again... what have I told you about going there?"

"Sorry mamma, I was hiding from Lucio..." He said innocently, his eyes peering into yours making your heart melt with the warmth of his chocolate buttons.

"Who's his father?" Ezio asked quietly, as though he was too afraid to ask. Though he knew the answer, he just wanted you to confirm it.

"I think you know bloody well who the father is, he has the looks of an Auditore," You spat, then turned on your heels and began to walk away from him.

"[y/n] wait!" Ezio exclaimed after you, and you turned sharply as your raised voice echoed through the street you stood in.

"You were gone for 10 years Ezio! I've moved on, and so should you!" You turned back around and sped away from him.

You sauntered around the market stalls as you began to place fresh bread, cheese, grapes and all the ingredients needed for the days meal into the basket that hung in the crease of your arm.

Your basket was full, and your legs became weary from the morning's errand, so finally you began to make your way home. However, a hand grasped your arm and firmly tugged you to the side of the street, making you gasp in the process.

Eyes wide, you peered up at the hooded figure that had forced you into their presence, and with the realisation that it was Ezio, your brows set into a deep frown.

"What do you think you're doing?" You spat, and Ezio sighed.

"[Y/n] give me another chance," He said, making you scoff at his words.

"Do you really think I can trust you again? After what you did to me?"

Ezio sighed and looked down to the ground, you were making it extremely hard for him, and you were glad.

"I love you," He whispered after slight hesitation, and with that, you froze on the spot. It were the words you were not expecting to hear, and it was the words that made your heart skip a single beat.

"What?" You asked quietly, somewhat in disbelief.

"I love you, I know you don't believe me, but it's took me a long time to realise that it is you who I love," He said, his hand reached up to your cheek and stroked your soft skin reverently. However, you swatted his hand away.

"If you loved me, you wouldn't have disappeared like you did," You were unable to hide the slight emotion within your voice. Of course you loved him back, but you cannot excuse the pain he caused.

"A mistake I am not willing to make again," He sighed out and grabbed your face between his large hands before crushed his soft lips against yours.

His kiss was sincere and full of emotion that you never expected to feel, it made you melt within his touch. How could you not forgive him? He was clearly a changed man, or so he seemed to be.

As his lips parted from yours, you looked into his dark, endless eyes, and sighed, "Fine... I'll give you another chance as long as you can prove to me that you've changed. Not just for me, but for your son too,"

"I'll do anything," He said with a smile, and once more he pressed his lips against yours, but this time the kiss was more passionate... A long awaited kiss that both of you had missed about each other.
