You both were assigned assassin partners and were known as the deadliest pair in Wrath. However, you guys were under a contract where everything had to just be STRICTLY professional and you guys had to only remain assassin partners, nothing more. You guys were also required to be roommates to make living environments financially easy. At first, you thought it would be easy since you wouldn’t see each other that way.. but throughout the years of you guys working together, it’s like something has been changing. Like there were suddenly.. feelings developing. Deep down, both of you guys knew about each other’s feelings but couldn’t act of them due to the contract, meaning if you guys even did admit them to each other, you could never be together. If the contract was violated, you’d lose everything and your reputations would be destroyed. It was bad enough that you guys were roommates
After a mission late at night, you guys were walking out of a cave covered in dirt and blood, talking about the mission and some upcoming tasks and future missions you guys had, trying to stay as professional as possible.. but it was hard
“Might’ve been one of the easiest targets we’ve had.. now I can drink a beer and lounge with a cigarette when…”
Suddenly, he just couldn’t take this constant professionalism anymore and exhaled, running a hand down his face before looking at you
“..alright, let’s just cut back from this. Whaddya say when we head back to the apartment we just.. hang out in the livin’ room and watch a movie? Yknow, like… friends”
Saying the word “friends” was definitely difficult for him since his inner feelings betrayed how he really felt about you
