Work Text:
✨When you met Leslie it was before Taylor was even on his radar. You’d in fact met him through his mentor Eugene because you are his stepdaughter.
✨Killing had been something which he’d passed down to you along with training Leslie. You’d been used to death and murder, desensitized to it even.
✨Leslie and you struck up a rather fond friendship which quickly for you developed into a pretty intense crush. You were taken in by his charisma and passion for his craft as a future serial slasher.
✨You were used to helping with cleanup and assisting in other capacities for Eugene and Leslie while he was prepping for his official debut as a slasher.
✨However, what made you really nervous, was when Leslie finally started looking for his final girl. Usually the two of you would discuss all his plans and you’d make suggestions, mulling it over and combing through the issues with his logic together. But when it came to who the final girl was going to be, Leslie wouldn’t let you in on anything.
✨One day he sat you down after weeks of being absent and broke the news. He’d found his final girl and showed you a picture of her on an online website showcasing her filmmaking experience and portfolio. She’d actually been the one to reach out to Leslie, wanting to make a documentary on his unusual passion.
✨Immediately you hated everything about this, especially her. You didn’t even know her, and you knew it was irrational to feel angry towards someone who had done nothing, but her clear skin and beautiful sunny blonde hair made your blood boil. Especially the affinity Leslie showed when talking about his plans for her.
✨When the filming of Taylor’s documentary on Leslie begins. You keep your distance from everything, yet still keep watch from a distance, making sure that nothing goes wrong for Leslie.
✨You slowly come to resent Taylor, as she gets to get closer to Leslie than even you ever have. Every look they share and intimate moment they have, you start to even resent Leslie. But should you really or are you taking these thoughts too far?
✨You even start to consider sabotaging Leslie’s plans for making Taylor in an epic climax the closer his date for all those things to go down gets.
✨He tries to reach out to you when the day is finally there, wanting to finally give you some details on his big day. However, your not picking up your phone and avoiding when he comes around.
✨It gets so bad that he ends up really going out of his way to find you on the night of his big plan finally unfolding. It’s a couple hours before he goes full slasher, and he’s dressed up in his overalls, makeup and mask.
✨He catches you where you’d been hiding and watching the crew set up. He then confronts you as to your strange and upsetting behaviour. How he misses you and just wants things to go back to the way they were between you. He wants to share in his success with you, and misses when you used to light up at his stories of his recent ventures.
✨But you know better than he does that things can never be the same, not if he wants to see you anymore and not if you want to see him.
✨So, with much difficulty and tears starting to fall from your eyes, you finally admit how you feel about him, and how you’ve felt this way ever since you’d first met him. Being with Leslie all these year, having him hang around, was only making these feelings stronger. You didn’t want to lose him to some girl who he hadn’t met until this year. You wanted him to want you the way he wanted to be a slasher.
✨Taking off his mask to really look you in the face, Leslie says that though Taylor is cute, she was never going to be the person he wanted the way you describe. He wanted to feel that way, but had conflicting feelings because of how he felt about you. In part, that’s why he’d been a bit more distant lately, on top of his big plan.
✨This realization of your shared affection overwhelms the both of you, and while he’s still explaining his feelings you pull him into a tight hug. At first he doesn’t know what to do, but then he embraces you back, kissing the top of your head.
✨He wants to stay with you like this forever, but you both know he needs to get back to the crew if his plan is going to unfold perfectly at all.
✨Leslie tells you he loves you and only you, and that he will be back to see you once this is all done, so you can figure this whole new revelation out together.
