You and Leon had been work partners for a long time. Working well together, fighting crimes against bioweapons, etc. You guys were never vulnerable with each other, both of you considering it as a weakness. But been by each others side long enough to know when something’s off.

During this mission, it seemed to have really gotten to you. Fear wasn’t something you’d show. More like hide it. Especially, from Leon to keep him from worrying.

You both hid in a room, hiding from whatever was out there. You got into your own head. Muttering the words Leon never thought he’d hear from you.

”I’m scared” You whispered, fear clear as day on your face. Leon moved closer to you, placing a gentle hand on your arm as he felt this wave of protectiveness wash over him.

”I’m your monster. Nothings getting near you.”

He whispered.
