Being with Leon had been great. He was caring, supportive, loving, protective— maybe overprotective but, hey, you were still alive! You knew he only meant well. And, given his past with Raccoon City, it was understandable.

Having said that, he spent most of his life at work. On missions, training. He was gone all the time, so nights where it could just be the two of you, alone, eating and drinking, enjoying the benefits that came with dating someone, were slim to none. It was hard most days, but the time you spent with him meant too much to get rid of.

It’s why when a night like tonight comes, you grab it by the throat and you don’t let it go. A rare night of Leon being off of work and not stuck on a mission. A night where it was just you and him. A night for going out and enjoying the time before he’s inevitably leaving again.

Leon was grumbling in the closet, messing with his tie, while you stood in your shared bedroom dressing yourself. After a few minutes, Leon stepped out with an exaggerated sigh, sounding all of like a child being told to clean up.

“Can you…” Leon trailed off. In the mirror, his reflection’s blue eyes trailed up the length of your body. The outfit you had on paired with your beauty… Oh, the things that went through Leon’s head. He stalked up to you, his large hands sliding perfectly around your hips. A single, light tug had your back up against his chest as his head lowered to press his lips against any bare skin he could find. “What if we just skip dinner?”
