It has been exactly one week since you woke up. 
You stayed in your room, not wanting to see anyone. You had already visited Altair, only to be greeted with a solemn-looking face. He looked sad, apologetic, and upset. You assured him that were were fine, it was Malik and Kadar who he should be worried about.

"What happened to them?" He asked, alarmed. You but your lip, trying to find a way to tell him gently.

"Malik lost his left arm...and Kadar is in a coma." You mumbled, toying with a strand of hair. No one spoke for a moment.

That was two days ago. Malik received news that angered him so greatly, it frightened you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Malik! When are you coming back on missions with me?" You asked, cheerful. Kadar maybe hurt, bit that didn't mean you couldn't be happy. Or positive at least. He grit his teeth, turning away before shooting you a hard glare.

"I am no longer an assassin. Technically, I am a bureau worker. Rafiq. I will be a Dai much later...in my years of work." He hissed angrily. You flinched slightly and frowned.

"I am...so sorry to hear that brother..." You murmured. You addressed others as brothers at certain times. He tensed.

"Even though this isn't your fault, sorry won't bring my arm back. More importantly, it won't wake up Kadar. Promise me that you'll watch him when I'm gone?" He said, striding away. He held the dark robes of a Rafiq or a Dai. He was, however, still in his usual garb. You looked at his moving figure, watching him as he went away. You didn't respond, but he took it as a yes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You found out later that he will be in Jerusalem, not Masayf. Even though it saddened you, you could not do anything about it. He set off later that day. You wanted to visit Kadar, but you haven't been out of your room since Malik left. Visiting Altaïr it is.

You walked out of your room, gazing around the hallways of the castle. You strode past the familiar halls until you reached Altair's door. You timidly knocked.

"Altair? Are...are you there?" You asked softly. You twisted the handle, but found it was stuck. You silently groaned. Safety first.

"Altair. Please let me in." You sighed. A loud thump notified that he opened it. You twisted the handle again and it opened effortlessly. You smiled softly and walked in very slowly.

The room smelled the same, but not the looks. It was very dark, the bed was unmade, the curtains closed, weapons hung on the incorrect places, and the desk was very untidy where a hooded head was laid on. You cautiously walked over.

"Hello." You whispered, resting your hand on his left shoulder. He twitched. You couldn't help, but smile at the peaceful look on his face. You didn't think such a relaxed look could find it's way on his face.

"Mmm...(y/n)...?" He yawned. You looked at him, confused. 

"Wait. How did I open the door without walking you up?" You asked, eyes wide. He chuckled tiredly.

"Force of habit. Malik comes in when I'm normally sleeping. So I just throw a knife or something at the handle to open it without waking. I have good aim when I sleep." He sighed, not standing up, but stretching his arms. "Where is Malik, anyway? Can...I see him?" He asked carefully. You looked away.

"He left." You said simply. He nodded slowly, not questioning further. You sat on his unmade bed and lied down. You inhaled his scent. Very manly. Just like the women in town gossip about. He's quite the charmer, even though he doesn't talk to them. You decided to tell him that.

"You know..." You grinned, "the women in town think you're a handsome fellow and a charmer." You grinned, amused. He looked at you curiously. "Really, now? Maybe I should- I mean, we should pay them a visit." He smiled. You thought for a moment.

"Why do I have to come?" You pouted. You were awfully tired and you yawned. He smiled softly. You noticed he only smiled around you. If you weren't there, he was the same Altair; quiet, harsh, and still attractive.

"Because they might love me too much, but I can see you're very tired. Would you like to rest? We could go later." He offered, pointing at his bed that you were already lying on. You nodded. You haven't slept because Malik left and Kadar was left in your hands by Malik. That is a big job.

"I know you have to see Kadar. But rest for awhile. I'll wake you, oh, maybe 30 minutes?" He offered. You nodded reluctantly. He grinned triumphantly and hopped from his desk chair directly on his bed. Like a bunny. 

'Altair the bunny.' You giggled. He made himself comfy next to you. 

Your eyebrows rose. "What'cha doing next to me?" You asked. He grinned, looking down at you. He pulled you closer and sighed. "I'm getting comfy! This is my bed." He teased. You groaned.

"When you meant rest, I thought meant you were working or something and I slept." You muttered, subconsciously placing your head on his shoulder. He pretended to not notice.

"You're crazy. I'll be awake, but I won't be working. I'll just tell you a story until you fall asleep." He said. You nodded tiredly.

"Sure. Did you make it and what's it about?" You asked, eyes drooping. You wanted to look at his eyes while he told his story.

"It was my mother's, but she told it to my father and he told me." He answered, pulling you even closer. 

"Nice. Why can't they tell me the story...I don't know....right now?" You giggled. He stayed silent before sighing sadly.

"Well. They're..dead." He shrugged. You grasped his side tightly.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know." You apologized. You hated making him upset. Even if it was a little, it still made you upset. He shrugged and grinned.

"It's fine. Let us begin." He said. He thought for a second, thinking of the story. "It's about my name...Altaïr and why they named me that before my mother died." He explained. You nodded. Tiredness struck you and you struggled to stay awake.

"My father loved birds of prey. He told me they were strong, agile, and brave and loyal to the ones they love. He joked around, telling me that he didn't want to call me 'Raven' or 'Hawk'. He thought it was silly and my mother agreed. My father thought eagle was a good name, but he knew that calling me Eagle was silly and strange so he took our native language and ended up with 'Altair'." He grinned. You smiled sleepily at his figure. 

"Boring...but interesting...con...continue..." You muttered.

"Shhh..." He whispered, petting your hair. He was so kind that it scared you. You saw him as a stoic man before, but now...he was like a family man. Even though he doesn't have a family. You drifted off into sleep and he kissed your forehead in hesitation. He didn't know if you would be mad at him, but he decided to anyway. 

He knew that you fell asleep, but he wasn't finished. "There is a lot more iI would like to say...but I'll just sum it up now. I'm am a bit sleepy...I'll tell you later." He said. He rubbed his eyes tiredly and got comfortable. He straightened out his posture and pulled you close. You stirred, but didn't awaken. He smiled and closed his eyes, whispering softly.

"My father then told me...one day before he died...that I can treat a woman well and she'll love me no matter what..." He muttered before gazing at your sleeping, calm figure. He continued. 

"I wonder if I treat well enough, (y/n)..." He yawned and fell asleep in a peaceful slumber in the midday heat in his chambers hugging you closely.
Um. Well. I always wanted to have Altaïr to really...well be sweet. I think he is already sweet, but you know. Like...GAH. I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS. HELP.

Anyway. I think he should be able to...kiss you...on...the head...? I think lips is early...sorry. X)
I have noticed this Altaïr x Reader thing is getting long. Are you guys ok with it being long?

I think an unnecessary noise flew out of my mouth when I wrote that he kissed your head. X)

(This next part is long, so if you don't like Altmal, I suggest to stop here!)

-ANY HARDCORE ALTMAL FANS-
It has brought to my attention...that some people now stalk my Twitter. Even though I never gave it out. Anywho, who ever requested some Altmal videos...here! I think they are cute. Really cute. Very cute. ;)

Picture of You: [link]
