"What was that for?" Leo rubbed at his face.
Riario glowered. "For forgetting the date."
Leo's mouth fell open. "You owe me an apology," he said. "You'll make that slap up to me or you won't get the incredibly thoughtful gift I got you specifically for our anniversary."
Riario lowered his gaze, heat rising in his cheeks. "You remembered?"
Leo pulled him into a rough hug. "Of course I remembered," he said, kissing Riario's hair. That he remembered because it was two days before Zo's birthday and Zo had been reminding him about that for over a week didn’t need to be mentioned.

"Is that a body?" Riario asked, hostility colouring his voice again. "I got you one a few weeks ago for Rome's birthday because I thought you would appreciate the chance to brush up on your anatomy. I have no such inclinations."
Leo wasn't sure why they had to celebrate the birthday of Rome but if there were gifts then there ought to be Florence's birthday too, but the Medici family were ignoring his pleas on that front. Furthermore he thought Riario had put entirely too much thought into the gift, finding a corpse with a few very interesting anomalies, and throwing in a decent dissection kit.
"No," Leo said, still wondering if Riario enjoyed the idea of dissection more than he cared to admit. "Look."
Leo peeled back the sheet a little and Riario peered inside. His breath hitched.
"Is that what I think it is?"
Leo nodded.

"This way, father," Riario said, leading Sixtus to the dining table.
Leo moved to greet Sixtus and to kiss the papal ring. "I'm so glad you could visit us," he said.
"Well," Sixtus said, taking a seat and motioning for them to follow suit. "I'm anxious to see what you two have been working on all these months."
Leo choked on his wine. Riario kicked him under the table.
"I assure you it is quite the surprise," Riario said, expression carefully neutral.
Sixtus droned on for a while, occasionally trying to guess at the surprise they had waiting for him. Finally even he ran out of steam.
"Are you ready?" Leo asked. His left hand held a goblet, his right was clutching Riaroi's hand beneath the table.
Riario squeezed Leo's fingers and nodded.
Sixtus could only watch in horror as Leo moved to almost sit in Riario's lap, pressing his hands to Riario's cheeks and kissing him on the lips.
"What is this outrage?" Sixtus roared, but Leo was already standing back, smirking, while Riario reached for the object hidden beneath the table.
"It was our anniversary yesterday," Leo said. "Show him your gift, my love."
Riario came up holding a hand cannon, eyes wild, a maniacal grin on his face. "Say your prayers, mother fucker," he bellowed, and fired.
By the time the smoke cleared, there wasn't enough left of Sixtus or his guards to warrant anatomical study. One of Zo's acquaintances was a pig farmer who was happy to haul the remains away, though Leo and Riario did have to mop the floor rather thoroughly and burn the soft furnishings.
#
After a cleansing bath, Leo got into bed and waited for Riario to finish putting on his nightshirt – a fairly pointless activity in Leo's opinion, since he intended to remove it again shortly. Riario finally climbed into bed, pressing a chaste kiss to Leo's forehead.
"Did you enjoy your anniversary?" Leo asked, pressing his hand to Riario's cheek.
"It was delightful," Riario said. He took Leo's hand in his and pressed a kiss to the palm. "I can't wait to see what you come up with next year."

Date: 2016-04-02 10:29 pm (UTC)possibly crazy but not nearly as crazy as Riariowavelength about Riario definitely giving Leo a corpse as a present. I still believe Leo would love it! And you thoughtfully provided a dissection kit too! Nice! I love that your Leo wonders if Riario possibly enjoyed it a bit too much...I love how you describe Riario's face when he fires! That scene cracked me up when I first watched because it seemed so OOC for him, but he was obviously having a blast--pardon the pun. I love how many different ways you've managed to get rid of Sixtus in fic. I think perhaps Riario is trying to speak through you? ;D

Date: 2016-04-03 07:56 am (UTC)It's such a crazed expression. I think it was shocking because Riario was always so contained and this was a side of him we hadn't seen before, all religious/righteous fervour and fury. I didn't have my slash goggles/hadn't taken off my heteronormativity goggles during s1 but thinking back on it now surely Riario is beside himself with jealousy because Leo's locked himself away with ungrateful Lorenzo :)
