Chapter Text
“Are you sure about this, Agent [Surname]?” A coworker of yours, named Frank, questions as he adjusted the pink streamers a bit higher up on the ceiling. You stepped back, observing the decorations, nodding your head. A rainbow of streamers were hanging from the ceiling and the words ‘Welcome Mr. Kennedy’ was hanging in between.
“This is perfect!” You clasped your hands together, grinning. A new agent was arriving today, and you wanted to make him feel welcomed! Especially since he was one of the survivors of the Racoon City incident.
“You know we’re going to get in trouble for decorating our office like this, right?” Frank muttered, getting down from his chair, and slapping one of the streamers. You waved your hand at him and giggled.
“We are not! There’s nothing wrong with welcoming a new member!” Frank rolled his brown eyes and put the chair back in place, before he turned to you and crossed his arms. “But, what do you think he looks like? Maybe he’s super handsome or something,” you wondered, smirking. The black haired man shrugs and walks to his desk that was under the decorations.
“I don’t know, but I know for sure he isn’t going to be interested in you,” he responds and you scoffed, glaring at the man.
“Wow! What a real friend you are! Rude!” Frank internally cried and propped an elbow on his desk, cheek resting on his palm as he stared at his computer.
“I remember when I thought the new female agent was cute, but then ‘she’ showed up,” he dramatically cried. You could hear his dramatic whining and you rolled your eyes and turned your attention back to the decorations. ‘I hope he likes this little surprise and maybe this could make him feel at least a bit more happy being here.’ This ‘Mr. Kennedy’ being a government agent won’t be having such a fun time when he starts going on missions. Your eyes drifted to the clock next to your desk, across from Frank’s. It’s only 1 in the afternoon. . .hmmmmm. You were told that Mr. Kennedy was coming around 3. You couldn’t wait to surprise him!
Ring! Ring!
Jolting in surprise, you turn to the sound of the phone, only to see Frank answering a call, and his eyes widened in panic. “U-uh, yeah!” He hanged up the phone and gave you a knowing look. ‘What?! Already?!’ You rushed to your bag and took out two party hats and blow horns, passing one to Frank. You would have loved to use a confetti popper, but you really weren’t trying to clean up that mess.
“Frank, come on my side!” You whispered to him and he obliged and rushed to your side, putting on his hat, and holding the blow horn close to his lips. You did the same, and waited excitedly, your hands shaking. You could hear two voices as the door opened, and the both of you blew your horn loudly when only the new agent stepped inside.
“Welcome!”
The unfamiliar man looked around with wide eyes, and his mouth slightly open. He was definitely in shock, and his hands started to shake. You walked over to him, and patted his shoulder, flashing him a grin. “Welcome to your office, Mr. Kennedy. It’ll be a pleasure to work with you,” you said and he just stared at you. Frank walked over and nodded at the new agent, then motioned his head towards you.
“Yeah, just try to handle her,” Frank said, and you rolled your eyes, but held out your hand to the blonde. You didn’t notice before but when you looked at him closely again, his blue eyes were still wide and his mouth was still slightly open, but his eyes looked glassy. You began to internally panic and managed to stutter out words.
“D-did you not like it? Were you touched? U-uh. . . ?” Mr. Kennedy greatly shook your hand, a smile appeared on his lips, as he wiped his eyes with his other hand.
“I’m happy,” he answered, his blue eyes lighting up, and oh fuck, you were already attracted to him. He was so hot, and you weren’t expecting this new agent to be so freaking handsome. He was such a sight to look at, and, oh, were you a lucky woman. ‘I’ll make sure to brag about this later on to the girls.’ He stared at the words that hung on the ceiling and then at you. “This reminded me of something that could’ve happened.” His voice became low as he said this and you softly smiled, gripping his hand tightly.
“Well, it’s happened now! Welcome to your new office, Mr. Kennedy.” His eyes became glossy again and you reached out to his face, but didn’t touch him. “A-ah! Don’t cry! I did not intend to make you cry!” The man grabbed your wrists and pulled you in for an embrace. You awkwardly patted his back, and leaned into him.
“Thank you,” the man breathed out. A happy feeling fluttered in your heart, and you smiled.
Frank watched the scene with a disgusted look. “What the fuck,” he muttered beneath his breath.
Mr. Kennedy pulled away from you and smiled, still holding your wrists. “Names Leon Scott Kennedy.” You smiled and leaned a little closer to him.
“[Name] [Surname].”
You and Leon stared at each other for a little longer until you both realized how awkward that was and the both of you looked away shyly.
Frank glared at the both of you and walked off to his desk. “I’m going to be third wheeling with two idiots.”
