#19 - Candle
The small flame illuminated and reflected off Altair's strange eyes making it seem like they were glowing.
#33 - World
Altair has never wondered about the breadth and scope of the world like Malik does, to him the only things that matter are always within arms reach.
#06 - Hurricane
They take the guards at a dead run, and the one man who survived would forever swear it was twelve men who attacked.
#47 - Highway
"Fool," Malik yells as the horse thunders away from the startled Crusaders, "you will kill us with your antics!"
#37 - Lies
"A nightmare," Altair said, breathing in the scent of Malik as he discretely adjusts himself below the blankets, "it was only a nightmare."
#07 - Wings
Altair prefers to track from the rooftops, it gives him a clear escape route and an unobstructed view of Malik stalking their target on the ground.
#01 - Ring
Altair smiles as they're surrounded and he feels Malik's shoulder nudge his back, the guards don't stand a chance.
#18 - Dream
Malik has long accepted that he finds the male form more arousing than the female, but he cannot look certain people in the eye the days he remembers his more erotic dreams.
#02 - Hero
It's aggravating having to listen to Kadar all but sing praises about his skills, but it is worth it just to hear the acerbic remarks Malik cannot hold back even from his own brother.
#12 - Temptation
Altair watched Malik practice, his blades flashed as his body flowed through the complicated forms, and wanted nothing more than to feel that move against him, with him.
#05 - Run
A master assassin doesn't need useless distractions though and it is best for him to forget Malik.
#04 - Box
Altair did not realize how ingrained Malik had become in his life until he actively tried to cut the other out.
#08 - Cold
Malik didn't realize Altair was pulling away until he woke up one night alone and shivering.
#03 - Memory
The days when Malik could expect some part of his body to have an Altair shaped attachment if the boy was near seemed like nothing more than a dream in front of the man who rarely even looked at him.
#25 - Mask
It was frustrating, trying to see the boy he once knew hidden behind the smirk of the man he barely knew.
#11 - Midnight
In the latest hours of the night Malik often finds himself unable to sleep despite the draughts forced on him by the doctors, his mind too full of the pain and grief of loss.
#43 - Search
For the first time in a long while Altair found himself completely alone and was disgruntled to find out how much more work he had to do.
#17 - Promise
Later --as the stinging of his pride lessens enough for him to see-- he makes a promise to not hurt what remains of his family, it is a promise he breaks the moment he enters Jerusalem.
#09 - Red
Malik's dreams are filled with red, a color he rarely sees awake until the day Altair enters his city.
#31 - Sacred
If his vows to the order were not so important, Altair knows Malik would have denied him access to the Bureau.
#21 - Silence
Malik's tongue is sharp and biting but it's not what he says that hurts Altair the most, it is the long stretches of silence when he knows that the other man is trying to forget his presence.
#22 - Journey
Too late, Altair realizes what he truly lost at the temple; too soon, he is sent back to Jerusalem.
#30 - Body
Altair watches as Malik pours water down his back, it streams down his skin catching on an array of scars both familiar and not.
#26 - Ice
Malik's eyes are hard and cold as they stare him down from across the Bureau counter.
#35 - Fever
Altair is fevered and out of his mind, Malik pays no heed to the man's desperate words as he grudgingly tends to his needs.
#14 - Music
The sound of prayers filtered into the Bureau giving Altair something else to focus on besides the eternal silence stretched between the Dai and himself.
#13 - View
No matter how hard he tried Malik couldn't stop himself from noticing the changes in Altair.
#16 - Cover
On the brink of sleep Altair feels the weight of a blanket being thrown over him.
#36 - Laugh
All the embarrassment and humiliation is almost worth it when Malik's helpless laughter fills the Bureau.
#42 - Talk
When Malik fumbled, the fingers of his hand suddenly clumsy with the bandage, neither man said a word and the silence laid heavily across them both.
#48 - Unknown
Malik barely heard the apology lost as he was in studying the man he realized he truly did not know.
#45 - Eclipse
Altair wants to linger with Malik and talk, but there is no time, too much is at stake.
#23 - Fire
Smoke stings Malik's eyes as he fights the wraiths of his own brethren praying Altair ends the madness soon.
#34 - Formal
"You almost look presentable," Malik remarks when he sees Altair in the black robes for the first time.
#28 - Forgotten
The first months after the worst of the damage done to the Order was dealt with are tense, neither man quite sure how to go back to being friends.
#32 - Farewells
Few ever understand their habit of trading insults when parting ways.
#24 - Strength
Even lacking one arm Malik is still a match for Altair, and he has no qualms about proving it.
#27 - Fall
Malik's breath catches when Altair smiles wearily at him, it's a sight becoming more and more common as the Order slowly heals under their care.
#15 - Silk
Altair's pale skin stood out in stark contrast with the dark rug and Malik had to stop working and stare for a moment.
#38 - Forever
"No," Maria said, eyes and hands firm, "I will bear our children but my heart belongs to another, just as your own does."
#46 - Gravity
The late nights eases the guard he usually has on his tongue, and Malik finds himself asking a question he has been thinking of for a while, "Have you ever loved, Altair?"
#44 - Hope
The sudden surge of emotion nearly choked Altair and he had to take a breath then another before answering.
#40 - Whisper
"You," Altair turned his head, lips almost close enough to touch Malik's ear, "only you."
#49 - Lock
The heartfelt words stun Malik into silence for the rest of the night.
#41 - Wait
He wants to push, wants to hear Malik give words to what lays in his eyes, but stops himself; Malik will take his own time and Altair must simply wait.
#20 - Talent
Words have always come easily to Malik --written or verbal-- so it is an alien feeling to realize he truly did not have anything he could say to match what Altair had said to him.
#10 - Drink
If he were the type of man to drink to excess he would blame his idiotic plan on it.
#29 - Dance
Malik felt like a fool but when he rose back up and saw the dark, hungry look in Altair's eyes he knew it was worth it.
#39 - Overwhelmed
Groans fall from Altair's lips and he cannot be bothered to stifle them, not when his hands can trace the lines of scars and muscles as he pulls Malik closer.
#50 - Breathe
In the darkness of night Altair breaths in Malik's scent and let's the even sound of his heart lull him to sleep.
