Leon Kennedy was the kind of guy that loved to help. He was the guy that helped little old ladies cross the street, the guy that helped save animals in the road, he volunteered in his free time—he was just a stand-up guy: friendly, kind, and a sunshine smile to boot.
When he found out the local daycare was looking for new staff, Leon jumped at the chance. As he walked into his first day, he was expecting to be led to the baby room—a natural first start for new hires, right? But he was very wrong, as the daycare's manager led him straight into the toddler room for kids aged two-to three.
What Leon was hoping to be a calm first day and a chance to get to know his co-workers turned out to be a hectic kerfuffle filled with small children hanging off of him like he was a tree, and that was all within the first five minutes. It was lucky for him that you were working in the same room as him that day—you were a veteran at wrangling small children, and you quickly swoop into action, freeing him up of the little anchors and sending the kids on their way to play with something else.
As you locked eyes with Leon, giving him a friendly smile, it was as if that little twinkle in his eye came back. "I—" He stammers, his jaw practically on the floor, which made you chuckle softly. Leon cleared his throat, sticking out his hand immediately as a form of greeting.
"Thank you. Seriously."
