Fics like The Language of Love

"How do you know me?” Yusuf’s not smiling anymore. He’s serious, more stoic than Nicolo’s ever seen him. Then again they’ve never been anything to one another but faces in the fog of their minds and twirls of steel in the mud. There’s no time for impassivity when you're fighting like that. “I have known you all my life. Only now, you speak back to me.” It’s rough the way he says it, grating in the throat. Nicolo finds himself suddenly chilly, despite the fire and fragrant drops of sizzling hare fat. “Only in my language,” Nicolo says, trying to lighten the air. “That’s not really fair.” Yusuf shrugs. “I was a merchant. I traveled to many places. Genova was one of them. Besides—” His eyes sparkle across the fire. “I have plenty of time to teach you.” (Or five times Nicky hears Joe speak his language and one time Nicky returns the favor.)
