Carrying the assassin with him, still ignoring the noises Ezio was making, Leonardo quickly made a plate of food for himself. Leonardo sat back down at the workbench, setting the assassin down but still keeping a restraining hand on him. The last time, Ezio had nearly fallen off the table as he tried to run away. But the squirming was gradually decreasing, and Leonardo watched as his friend stared at the food before him. Leonardo couldn’t help but smile, using his teeth to pull the glove off his free hand. He broke off a piece of bread and offered it to Ezio.
Ezio stared at the bread, eyes flicking back and forth between him and the offered food. His hand stretched out, hesitant and almost trembling, and the bread was snatched out of Leonardo’s fingers. Leonardo smiled again, as the bread disappeared quickly, Ezio licking his lips. The tiny man’s eyes flicked up to him, eyebrows scrunching again, and the artist could feel the body in his hand settle slightly. Leonardo offered another piece of bread and that too was snatched free of his hand.
The process continued, and Leonardo could feel the tenseness in Ezio slowly ease. He carefully loosened his hold on the assassin. Ezio gave him a startled look, halfway through a piece of tomato, and squirmed in place. Leonardo slowly lifted his hand away, ready to catch the assassin if he decided to bolt again. But Ezio merely settled back down, making what could only be classified as a happy purr as he was released.
Leonardo’s smile faltered a bit. Throughout the last three days, Ezio had not spoken a word, not even uttering a curse at being handled during the artist’s attempts to change him back with the Apple. He reached up carefully with his still gloved hand and carefully began to run one of his fingers along Ezio’s ear. It earned him a twitch and a ducking of that dark head, as well as a suspicious look. He kept his hand still, not moving until the assassin grew accustomed to the hovering hand. Ezio slowly straightened, eyeing Leonardo warily.
Running a finger along the tiny ear again, Leonardo smiled as this time Ezio didn’t move. In fact, he sat there as still as he could, and when Leonardo began to rub gently against the ear, the assassin's eyes slid shut. Leonardo increased the pressure slowly, and Ezio began to arch into the touch, purring once more.
