Jealousy Pt .2

Assassin's creed Lost in modern ages

Jealousy Pt .2

It was the next day, Desmond and Altair were sitting on the couch next to each other. Altair was reading a novel while Desmond was reading a superhero-based comic. Rebecca and Shaun were sitting at the dining room table watching them a far while Connor, Jacob, Ezio, and Leonardo were talking with one another close by, all while Ezio continues staring at Altair and Desmond.

Rebecca: Aw, Shaun look at those two, it's like watching two twin brothers bonding with each other.

Shaun: you say brothers, I say experimental clones gone wrong.

Rebecca: oh stop it, Shaun they're just reading.

Shaun: exactly, so if you're making a big deal out of this then so will I. I mean just look at them.

A shot of Altair and Desmond just... reading their things.

Shaun: their facial expressions right now look almost bloody identical... some of their expressions.

Rebecca: I still think it's cute, it's not often we get to see Altair actually "bond" with any of the others.

Shaun: ya we'll I still say a cloning experiment gone wrong.

Leonardo: -so then turns out you can't use metal thin cables as a substitute for rubber covered wires, though luckily the man didn't hurt himself too badly, I was almost given a fright when he got shocked, he seemed ok afterward, but I think I learned something new after- ... Ezio?

Ezio: *staring at Altair and Desmond* . . .

Leonardo: Ezio?

Ezio: . . .

Leonardo: ...? *taps on Ezio's shoulder* Ezio are you even listening to me?

Ezio: *snaps out of it* hm? Oh, sorry Leonardo, you were saying about the wires?

Leonardo: Ezio you have been acting very strange since yesterday, is something wrong?

Ezio: I'm fine Leonardo, just have a lot on my mind right now.

Connor: are you sure? Cause you were staring at Altair and Desmond for an odd and uncomfortably long time yesterday and you're continuing to do so today. You might as well just tell us what's going on cause this is getting ridiculous.

Jacob: Heh! maybe he's jealous that those two hang out a lot.

Ezio: I am not!!!

Jacob: ... I was just joking, calm down.

Connor: ... Ezio, your getting kind of defensive about this.

Ezio: I'm not getting defensive, I'm simply pointing out the fact that I'm not jealous of Altair spending more time with Desmond than Desmond does with me.

Connor: ...

Leonardo: ...

Jacob: ... *snickers* oh my god you are jealous of Altair aren't you!

Ezio: what!? Me!? Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Jealous!? Nonsense!

Leonardo: well what you just said was oddly specific for someone who claims they're not jealous of someone else.

Connor: and you're not doing that good of a job hiding that fact.

Ezio: ... so... what if I am.

Leonardo: Ezio there is no need to be jealous, you're a family as a whole. There is no need to feel this way.

Jacob: Ya, I mean so what if they look the same, act the same, share the same favorite activities, and-

Connor: *puts a hand over Jacob's mouth* exactly, Leonardo. Besides Desmond cares for each and every one of us equally. Trust me, you're only setting yourself up for something that's going to end badly for you and Desmond.

Jacob: ... *licks Connors hand*

Connor: *flinches away in disgust* Ew gross Jacob!

Jacob: >=P

Ezio: *sighs* maybe you guys are right... maybe I'm just letting this get to me.

Leonardo: bene, glad we put a stop to this, before things got any worse.

Suddenly Desmond's phone starts to go off, as he puts his comic book down and pulls out his smartphone. He has a small surprised look on his face when he saw the contact on his phone.

Connor: ...

Leonardo: ...

Jacob: ...

Desmond: ... hey I'll be right back, I gotta take this. *gets up*

Altair: *nods at him*

Desmond: *heads outside to the front*

Connor: ... *sighs with nervous laughter* for a second I thought something bad was gonna happen to set this whole thing into chaos...

Leonardo: *nervous laughter* Si.

Jacob: ya that was a close one... so who do you think called Desmond?

Ezio: *shrugs*

Ezio, Connor, and Jacob walked over to one of the front windows and peeked through the curtains as they watched Desmond answer the phone and put it up to his ear as he seems like he's saying hello, and then letting who was on the other line speak. Desmond then speaks, unsure of what he is saying from the window. A few seconds into the conversation he seemed confused at first, then changed to an excited and happy expression. It didn't last long however as his facial expression began to slowly morph from joy to disappointed, pacing back and forth, as he starts talking again.

Jacob: ... who do you think he's talking to?

Connor: I don't know...

Ezio: whoever they are... whatever they're telling Desmond is making him a bit... upset.

Leonardo: are they? By how much?

Desmond seems to look stressed as the Isu lines on his right charcoal black arm and eyes begin to glow a bright gold as he shouted an audible-

Desmond: WHY!? Why can't you ever just-! *takes in a deep breath in and out*

Desmond calms himself down till his arm stopped glowing, his right eye however still held a dim glow, as he continues the call, his voice goes back to quiet.

Connor: ... really upset...

Leonardo: oh my...

Ezio: ...

Jacob: ... wow...

As Desmond slows down his pacing he finally comes to a stop and he hangs up the phone. The three quickly sprung away from the window back where they were standing and glanced away when the door opened to let a very upset Desmond inside.

Rebecca: ... you ok Desmond?

Desmond: . . .

Shaun: um... earth to Desmond?

Altair: *glances over Desmond, with his golden eye visibly showing from his hood*

Desmond: ... *takes in a deep breath then exhales* ya... *his eye stops glowing completely* I'm fine. . . hey uh... Altair?

Altair: *turns over fully to Desmond* yes?

Desmond: uh... do you want to go see a movie later? Cause I got an extra ticket to go see one and uh... he-

Altair: he bailed on you last minute... again?

Desmond: ... *nods yes*

Altair: *sighs* Alright, I'll get my things ready, just tell me when we're able to go and I'll be ready.

Desmond: cool, movie starts at one. Sorry if it's a bit of a short notice.

Ezio: . . .

Altair: *marks his book and closes it* It's fine Desmond. We'll meet back in the living in an hour and a half. Will you ok driving?

Desmond: I think I'll be ok.

Altair: *nods then heads up stairs*

Shaun: ... wwwhat was that all about?

Desmond: nothing important. *goes into the kitchen to get his keys for his motorcycle*

Rebecca: you sure? That yelling outside didn't sound like "nothing important". Sounded super important, at least to you anyway.

Desmond: It's all sorted out now becs. *grabs his keys* don't worry about it. *starts walking towards the door* Anyways, I'm heading to the gas station to get movie snacks, cause the prices for theater snacks are, sh*****t. Later *heads out the door*

Connor: ... that was... something?

Leonardo: well Desmond hasn't been feeling all that well as of late.

Jacob: you've talked to him lately?

Leonardo: mhm, I have, I always ask everyone how they are doing.

Connor: so what's been with him?

Leonardo: things haven't been going so well for him for these past three months for him. He keeps saying he'll be fine soon enough... but I don't think much has changed, if not slightly worsen.

Jacob: how come?

Leonardo: I'm not sure. He refuses to tell me the key reasoning behind it. All I know is that he's been feeling down for the past months, for his personal life, and that's all he told me.

Connor: *sighs* Desmond probably has a lot on his plate, that phone call was probably something important.

Jacob: Maybe he just needs a bit of cheering up! Right Ezio- ...

Ezio: O_O . . .

Jacob: oh bloody hell.

Leonardo: Ezio... we just went over this.

Ezio: . . .

Connor: Ezio, what's-

Ezio: HE INVITED HIM TO A MOVIE! RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!! AND OUT OF EVERYONE HERE, HE PICKED ALTAIR TO SEE IT!?!? WHY!?!?

Connor: Ezio calm down!

Leonardo: easy amigo!

Jacob: it's not that big of a deal!

Ezio: Not that big of a deal!?!? It's a huge deal! A massive one at that!

Shaun: what are you all yelling about!?!?

Connor: Ezio's jealous of Altair because Desmond's been hanging out with him more often than him.

Jacob: ya Ezio's jelly, cause Desmond is around Altair more.

Leonardo: and- ...

Jacob: ... what?

Leonardo: jelly?

Jacob: ya that's what I said he's jelly, that Altair is spending more time with Desmond. Ezio's jelly. Jelly~.

Leonardo: ... never in my life have I ever heard anyone, use jelly, as an alternative word for jealous.

Jacob: I know right! I just heard it a while back, and I found it really hilarious, so I started using it myself and-

Rebecca: uh, guys.

Leonardo: hm?

Jacob: what?

Rebecca: Ezio's gone...

They all look to where Ezio once stood... he was gone.

Connor: ... *looks at the front door* and the front door is open...

Shaun: oh, bloody hell.

Rebecca: ... I think he was still wearing his assassin robes too...

Jacob: ...

Leonardo: ...

Shaun: ...

Connor: 😑 ... sh*t.
