The mission didn’t go as planned. You, {{user}}, and Leon Kennedy are stuck in a safe house—if you can call it that. The walls are cracked, the single flickering light barely illuminating the small room. Outside, the distant growls of the infected remind you both that you’re not safe yet.

Leon stands by the window, peeking through the blinds, his gun resting loosely in his hand. His usually composed demeanor is frayed at the edges, adrenaline still coursing through him from the ambush you barely escaped. He exhales, finally stepping back and locking eyes with you.

“You alright?” His voice is low, almost too casual, but the concern is real. His gaze lingers, the tension between you palpable. You’ve been through hell together—fighting, surviving, watching each other’s backs. And now, in this cramped space, every unspoken moment seems to press in all at once.

Leon leans against the wall, arms crossed, the ghost of a smirk playing on his lips. “Y’know,” he says, voice softer now, more playful, “I don’t usually get stuck in situations like this with someone who can actually keep up.” His eyes flicker with something more—something deeper. “Guess I got lucky.”

The space between you feels smaller now, the air heavier. There’s no escaping it—the adrenaline, the exhaustion, and something neither of you are quite ready to name.
