Altair x Reader ~ Novice

You were an assassin... were, kind of. You worked in a library by choice. You were deadly. Really deadly, but there was something you couldn't do. Leap of faith. So instead of trying to fight with your phobia, you decided to work in a library in Masyaf. You were something like one of the very few female Assassins. Surrounded by males. Mostly frustrated males. So yeah, if you wouldn't have friends like Malik, Kadar or Altair, you would probably kill someone in selfdefense. But now Kadar was dead, Malik had no arm and was i Jerusalem and Altair... Altair for years now wasn't your friend. He became arrogant, selfish. He only cared about the mission. So you couldn't hide your smile when Al Mualim made him a novice again.
But that was quiet a time ago. Altair slowly climbed again in hierarchy killing people for Al Mualim again. He was again Master's pet.
"(Y/N)?" You heard his voice above you. You cursed under your breath and raised your head to look at him.
"What do you want, novice?" He flinched when you called him that. "I thought Al Mualim sent you to Jerusalem to kill someone. Again." You voice was like a blade cutting the air every time.
"He did." Assassin said clearing his throat. "But I need some information from you."
"All information you need Malik has. Ask him." You looked again at the book you read but Altair grabbed it and closed it. "Hey! What do you think you're doing, novice?!" You stood up glaring at him. Altair raised his eyebrow.
"As I recall you were my friend once. Why you're trying to piss me off?"
"Maybe because you're a selfish bastard who is responsible for my friend's death? Or because because of you Malik left and lost his arm? Or because you treated me like a trash since you got promoted?" You placed hands on your hips, still glaring at the assassin. "You changed Altair. For worse. I wish you'd never get your rank back. Get lost, novice." You hissed and passed him, angry.


~ Flashback ~


"(Y/N)! (Y/N), slow down!" Kadar yelled running after you with Malik and Altair. You only laughed harder and climbed on a tree, with a huge smile on your face. As for 15-year old girl, you were one of the best novices in Masyaf, along with Altair and Malik. But you were faster than them. A lot faster. And you could swim when Altair couldn't. And you could climb on trees faster than them.
"(Y/N), stop this! You're fast, we understand, get back here!" Malik growled stading under the tree.
"Nope! You won't catch me!" You smirked and jumped to another tree when they were just climbing on the first one. "C'mon, get your lazy asses here!" You laughed and looked behind you. There was no way they could catch you. You grabbed an apple and threw it on them, it hit Malik's forehead and poor kid fell of the tree.
"Damn you, (Y/N)!" Malik yelled as Kadar and Altair laughed.
"Just training my accuracy!" You jumped on yet another tree and when there were no more of these, you just ran ahead. You didn't hear any footsteps behind you, did they give up? It seemed like it. You turned around aaaand... bumped into someone's chest and fell on the grass. Well, you would fell on the grass if this person wouldn't catch you in the last moment.
"Caught you." Altair smirked at you as you blushed. His arm was around your waist. "What you said I'd get if I'd catch you?" You gulped. You said that whoever will catch you, will get a kiss from you. That's why Malik, Altair and Kadar were chasing you. You were one of the most beautiful woman or girls in Masyaf and the fact that you were training to be assassin only made you more attractive for boys.
"W-Well..." You bit your lips as Altair raised his eyebrow in amusement. "You didn't really catch me, I bumped onto you." You tried to save yourself.
"Liar." He shook his head and before you did anything else, he leaned down to you and kissed you. Without hestitation you kissed back, and blinked confused when he pulled away. When you saw a huge smirk on his face, you blushed madly.
"Jerk." You punched his arm.
"You liked it." He smirked following you.
"No I did not." You hissed.
"You liked it. Admit it."
"No I did not!" You growled stopping. Before any of you said anything, your father came.
"(Y/N), I was looking for you. You're late for your training." He said with his arms crossed on his chest. "Why are you blushing? And why is Altair smirking?" Your father asked and you blushed even harder.
"Nothing... Sorry I'm late... I lost track of time..."
"I see." Your dad sighed. "Say goodbye to each other, we have a lot of work to do." Altair gave you a mocking smirk when you were just opening your moutch to say 'goodbye' so you just blushed and shook your head, running after your dad. 'Jerk.'

~ End of Flashback ~

You remembered that like it was yesterday. Soon after that Altair focused on his training, he forgot about all his friendships. Relationships. He wasn't there with you when your father died, and it was in the day when he failed the mission in Salomon's Temple. Your father died because Altair failed. You couldn't forget about that. Or that he pushed you away after your kiss. You sighed and looked at all the novices doing the leap of faith. It looked so easy... and yet you were still afraid of doing it.
"Why won't you join them?" Altair's voice came from behind you. You rolled your eyes.
"That only showes me that you don't know me anymore." He raises his eyebrows. "I am never going to do this. Just no."  You shook your head.
"I never meant to treat you like trash, (Y/N). You're... important." You blinked.
"Okay that was awkward." He sighed and looked at you.
"I am not good with speaking about things like this..."
"You mean feelings?" He nodded. "You. Are. Terrible." You shook your head. "Just do your leap of faith, novice, and leave me alone." You sighed and crossed arms on your chest.
"(Y/N), I'm sorry about your father, Kadar and Malik. I was lost..."
"No, you were a douchebag." You cut him off. "It's not even what hurt me the most, the most hurt me the fact that I mean nothing to you." You admitted after a while.
"(Y/N), can you look at me?" You raised your gaze. He gently grabbed your chin and looked into your (y/e/c) eyes. After few seconds his warm, soft lips were on yours. You kissed back after few seconds, and when he pulled away you were still looking at him. "You don't mean nothing to me. Forgive me that I didn't realized it sooner..."
"Well, everyone deserve second chance... but it's your last one, Altair." He nodded and suddenly he pushed you. You were falling. He made you make a leap of faith. "ALTAIR YOU ASSHOLE!" You yelled chasing him after you finally found him after your landing. You caught him near the river, when he couldn't cross it. "There you are." You smirked.
"(Y/N), don't even think about it... (Y/N)!" But it was too late. You jumped on him and both of you fell into the river.
"You taught me how to do a leap of faith, I'll teach you how to swim!"
