Chapter Text

2:45 in the morning. You couldn’t sleep. You tried everything. Nothing seemed to work. After a while of trying, once again you decided to take a walk. You grabbed the hoodie near the end of your bed and walked into the kitchen. You grabbed the communication device your job had given you just in case you’d be called in. It was still dark out and you knew what could lurk in the dark so just to be safe, you took the handgun on the counter. You opened the drawer connected to the counter and grabbed some ammo to fill the gun. Once it was filled, you dragged your tired body out of the house onto the sidewalk. You didn’t think about anything particularly important, just random things like what if you were called in or when you’d ask that guy out you liked from work.

You sighed. You’d never have the stomach to ask him out. He was a beauty, his dusty blond hair and blue eyes. When he talked, you could smell aged whiskey. He wore a cologne that was intoxicating to you, that sucked you in. “What am I even thinking about..?” You mumble. He was probably way older than you.. whatever. You stop walking when you hear bushes rustle. Sounded like something ran away. You turned around and spotted a zombie. You quickly snapped out of your thoughts and killed the zombie. Now, you should really go back home. You cautiously walked back to your apartment complex and locked the door behind you. 

You kicked your shoes off somewhere and flopped onto the couch. You spread your legs a bit to rest your arms on them. You fell further into the couch until you fell asleep. Your sleep came over quickly enough, but didn’t last long. You had nightmares often. About the things you saw in your line of work. The therapist you’d previously seen told you that you should continue to see him. He thinks you may have PTSD or some shit- whatever. You were fine. You didn’t care about seeing a therapist. What’s better therapy than having a good drink?

5:56. You woke up to the sound of the buzzing communication device. You yawned and answered the call. The incoming video flickered as it came through. “Sup.” You said. “ Hey, are you busy right now becauseikindaneedyoutodosomethingsupersuperimportan-“ Hunnigan spoke way too fast for your tired brain to comprehend. “Woah, tiger. Slow down. What’s up?” You asked, rubbing your eyes. “Well, I need you to come in because we have a new assignment for you. Oh, and don’t worry about packing much.. since you will be going across the world.. We have everything figured out already.” She waited for your response. You stared blankly. “What?” You said, still not understanding. “Stop being brief. I’m not gonna waste my time for no reason.” She sighed. “Just come down here.” She said before hanging up. You groaned in frustration as you got off the sofa. 

You wanted to sleep but your body wouldn’t let you. You dragged yourself into the bathroom to see the dark circles that had appeared under your eyes. You took your glasses off and washed your face, brushed your teeth and then showered. You quickly got ready, putting the gun you previously used into the holster on the belt that held many things. You made sure you had everything you needed and headed towards the door where you grabbed the helmet and keys for your motorcycle. There’s a gas station on the way there, I could get some coffee.. or an energy drink and something to eat. You thought as you drove along the road. You stopped at the gas station and walked inside. 

You know, it hadn’t been ideal to get something from the gas station to eat but you didn’t care. You grabbed a Red Bull and the breakfast sandwiches they offered. Who would be eating breakfast this early anyways? You were eating breakfast this early. You walked over to the cashier. “What's a pretty lady like you doing out here at a time like this?” You rolled your eyes. “Just ring my shit up and tell me how much to pay.” You said pulling your wallet out. “Of course. $9.45.” You handed him a $10 bill. “Keep the change.” You said, snatching your things off the counter. 

You sat on the curb of the gas station and ate your food before leaving. You still weren’t fully awake yet so, you walked into the gas station, where the cashier hadn’t been paying attention and took another Red Bull and hid it in the pocket of your jacket and walked back out. You zipped the pocket up before continuing on your way. You finally reached HQ and walked inside, straight to Hunnigans office where she’d been talking with that man you admired so much, Leon. “Speak of the Devil, we were just talking about you.” She said. “Good things, I hope.” You said, sitting in the chair infront the desk. You took the other Red Bull out of your pocket.

“Did you steal that?” Hunnigan asked sternly. “What? Of course not.” She rolled her eyes, having a feeling you probably stole it as you had a track record to do so. You cracked open the can and sipped it. “So, what’s the deal?” You asked. “Ah yes, the mission.” She opened a file drawer and took a yellow folder out. “You will be sent to Korea in the morning. This man here, Choi Mujin, has a strand of the T-Virus that he’s planning on spreading around the area his boxing club exists in.” You took a good look at the man, and everything else in the folder. “There’s a catch, see he’s a drug lord, and he is hard to get a hold of. He often visits a club that is known to have many couples in it. You two are gonna have to pretend to be a couple.” She said, biting the cap of a pen. “You want me to do what?” You exclaimed.

“Well, I don’t know how else you’d go about doing this.” She said, typing something into her computer. Leon sighed. “Well, if that’s what has to be done, I’ll do it. She just has to agree.” He stood up and walked behind you. “What do you say, doll?” He said, placing a hand on your shoulder. Your face got hot, you’d never been this close to him. “Well uh- well maybe if that’s what has to be done I’ll uh- I’ll do it.” You said, followed by a nervous laugh. “Great! But since you’re going undercover, you both need fake names.” She handed you a fake passport and ID. The name on the passport read Rosemary Sinclaire. The name was cute at least. Hunnigan got up and handed Leon his passport and ID. “Seriously Hunnigan? Couldn’t even bother changing my first name?” He asked. She giggled. “Sorry. Now, you two better behave. I think you should get going now.” She said, “Head to the airport. Everything is already in place and you don’t need to pack. Now shoo. I have very important things to do.” She said, looking back at her laptop. 

“Ready to go?” Leon asked. You stood up. “Yeah. Let’s just go.” You picked up your helmet and keys and walked out. Leon followed behind you as you walked out. As soon as he stepped out, he opened a flask and took a sip. He sighed. “So, which car is yours?” He asked. “Oh actually I don’t drive a car, I have a motorcycle.” You pointed to it. “Sick. But you’re not going in that. I’ll drive you.” You looked at him, confused. “What? No way.” You said. “Aw c'mon doll, I promise it’ll still be here when you get back. I’ll ask Hunnigan to take good care of it.” He said, taking another sip. He turned around to see you crossing your arms. “Want some?” He asked. “What is it?” You said as you took the flask from him. “Just some good ole whiskey.” He said as he took the keys out of his pocket. You sipped it and signed and handed him the flask. “So, about my bike?” You spoke up. “Ah. Give me the keys. And the helmet.” He put his hand out. 

You hesitated before you gave him the keys and helmet. He walked inside and came out a few minutes later. “Let’s go, we gotta get to the airport.” He walked towards a Rolls Royce. He’s gotta be loaded to own one of these things. Inside of the car smelled like the cologne he wore and alcohol. He took another sip of the flask and started driving. “Are you sure you can drink and drive?” You said. “I do it all the time doll, if I get too drunk just hop in my lap and drive the car.” You rolled your eyes. “I will absolutely not be doing that.” You wanted nothing more but to sit in his lap. You lied. Anyways, even though he drove recklessly, you still made it to the airport in one piece.

Hunnigan had rented a private jet to transport you. The flight attendant bowed as you walked to the plane. She was the last one to enter the plane. You took a seat. Before you completely settled in the chair, you took your jacket off. Leon sat next to you. You quickly looked up at him and looked back down. “Why won’t you talk to me? Do I make you nervous?” He asked. Of course he made you nervous. I mean, who wouldn’t be nervous to talk to someone like him? “So, how do you want to go about this, huh?” He asked, taking a sip from the flask he’d put away. “Well I’m not sure, I usually figure things out as I go.” You said. Not sure of what else to say, you start picking at your nails, biting them from time to time. He stopped you from picking and biting your nails by intertwining his fingers with yours. You saw that we wore silver rings and had black chipped nail polish on. You looked up at him and saw the eyeliner messily applied to his eyes. 

“Why’d you do that?” You asked him. “It’s bad to pick at your nails, even biting them is bad. I'd rather you not do that.” You admit, it was a sweet gesture, but for some reason you didn’t wanna let go. His hands were warm while yours were cold. He again took another sip from his flask, shaking it to see how much was left. He groaned. “Shouldn’t have drank all that on the way here.” He mumbled. The plane ride had been boring and neither of you bothered to talk. You were tired but on the other hand, Leon was nervous.

Leon had always been awkward around women, but for some reason, he felt like he could be normal with you. He felt safe with you in a way he hadn’t felt around anyone else. You admired him and he admired you but you’d never admit that. You needed a way to pass some time so you decided to take a nap, head resting on Leon’s shoulder. At first, he tensed up. Then he relaxed. He looked down at you to see your sleeping face, and the glasses that were balancing on the tip of your nose. He carefully pulled them off and put them in his pocket. 

While you were sleeping, he had some time to let his mind wonder. He knew that he was probably a little too old for you. He wanted to have a better relationship with you before trying to.. you know, get in a relationship.. with you. He threw his head back. “What do I do?” He whispered. His eyelids soon felt heavy as well and he fell asleep. A few hours later he woke up. The pilot announced over the intercom. “ Hello passengers, we will be landing soon. Please prepare to exit the plane. Thank you. ” 

The plane landed 15 minutes later. Leon tapped you on the shoulder to wake you. “What’s going on?” You asked. You went to push your glasses onto your face but found they were missing. You panicked. “Oh sorry, they were falling off.” Leon handed you the glasses. You took them and put them back on. Leon stood up first. He looked away quickly and put his hand out. You were confused. “Hold my hand.” He said. You understood and stood up to leave the plane. You held his hand while walking through the airport. After finishing your business in the airport, you walk out to find your chauffeur. She stood by a black car with a sign reading your last name. 

You got in first and Leon followed. The woman in the front seat slid a yellow file folder onto the armrest and you took it. “Everything you need to know is in there.” She didn’t speak much after this. You read the contents of the folder. Firstly, the folder contains things like where you’d be staying, everyone that’d be working with you, the emergency phone lines, where you needed to be and when, and more things. You passed it over to Leon. “Looks like we have some time before we have to leave. Hey lady, mind stopping us at that convenience store there?” He asked. “Of course.” The woman pulled infront the convenience store. “Sir? Here. You’re gonna need this.” She handed you money. You’d never seen anything like it. “Use the USD to Won converter in the store.” The woman gave you ₩100000. You didn’t know how much it was until you walked in the store.

The store had a chart to show the different amounts of won. Leon walked over to the converter and put his cash into the machine. He took the won from the machine and stuffed it into his wallet. “Okay, let’s shop. See anything you’d like, doll?” He asked. You looked around and stopped at a cooler. You picked up what you thought may have been some sort of energy drink and something in a green glass bottle. Leon came to the same cooler as you and took a few bottles of the same green glass bottle.

You walked around some more and picked up a few snacks. Leon headed over to the cash register with everything in his hand. The cashier pointed to the screen that showed the price and he handed the cashier all the money the woman in the car had given. “I don’t know how much this is but keep the change?” He shrugged his shoulders. He signed for you to walk out with him. You got back into the car and the woman started driving immediately. She pulled up to a fancy hotel with many stories.

She showed you to your room. It was huge and it even had a piano in it. “Your hairstylists, makeup artists, and everything else will be sent here soon. Until then, please enjoy everything here. Here’s my number, call me if you need to.” She bowed before she left the room. You sighed in adoration. You’d never seen a hotel room this big before. You walked around the suite. This suite has two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a whole dining room. 

You sat down on one of the beds. It was very comfortable. Leon sat next to you. “So what should we do now?” He looked around the room. “Well I’m probably just gonna shower for now.. I guess you could just relax.” You walked off into the bathroom. He sat there for a few minutes before he decided to get up. He opened the bag from the store. He picked up the green glass bottle and took the top off. He sipped it and sat it back down, he winced. 

Not sure of the taste yet, he took another sip. “Eh. It’s not that bad.” He took another sip. On the other hand, you took under the water in the shower just, thinking. Not about anything in particular. You went over the details of the mission again. You had to pretend to date the guy that you liked so much. The one that held your hand. The one that insisted he’d drive. The one you loved. God, it made you nervous. You didn’t wanna screw anything up with him because maybe you’d have a chance. You didn’t know if he’d felt the same way. The water ran cold. You hurried and washed your body more before stepping out of the shower. You put your glasses back on and cleared the foggy mirror. “I don’t have a spare change of clothes. Just great.” You grabbed the bath robe on the back of the door and walked out. 

Leon had been sitting on the couch in the main part of the hotel room. His head was leaned back and you could really see his Adams apple. He sat back up. “What’s wrong with you?” You asked as you cautiously approached him. “Nothin.. ‘m feelin just fine.” He slurred his words. Maybe he was drunk? You saw the green glass bottle and assumed that’s what he was drinking. You took the bottle from him. “Seriously? You can’t be getting drunk now. We still have things to do.” He laughed. “You're cute.” He leaned back again. “What should I do with you,” Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. 

You walked over and opened the door a little bit. “We’re here to get you ready.” One of the people said. “Oh, please come in. Don’t mind him, he's.. drunk..” You said leading them in. You were curious about how it tasted so while they sat up, you took a sip. You too, winced. He took it from you. “Hey! No drinkin.. you gotta be the brains while im all like this.” You rolled your eyes and opened another bottle and started to drink it. “We’re ready for you.” You walked over to one of the chairs they had in the bathroom. Leon followed you, slowly. 

The skilled makeup artists and hairstylists did your makeup and hair, they made minimal changes to Leon’s appearance. “Now, onto the outfits..” The woman said as she smiled.

The stylist took you into one of the other bedrooms and carried your clothes. The dress was black with a thigh high slit and also had thin straps with a sweetheart neckline. On the leg hidden by the dress’s fabric, you wore a garter with a knife tucked away. You wore diamond earrings and a necklace. “Here are your shoes and a few choices of perfumes. Please come out when you’re ready.” The woman started to walk off. “Wait, before you go I want to ask you something.” She turned back around. “Yes?” “What’s your name? I want to know how to address you so I can properly thank you.” The woman looked starstruck. “It’s Ji-Yeon ma’am. Im Ji-Yeon.” She announced proudly. “Thank you, Ji-Yeon.” She nodded and left the room. Your heart felt warm as you watched the young woman walk with a bounce in her step. It made you smile. You took the shoes out of the box. They were black heels with red bottoms. 

“These are pretty expensive.. I’d better make sure not to ruin them.” You said as you carefully placed them on your feet. You walked over to the tray that had been holding the fragrances Ji-Yeon left for you and smelled each one before you decided on a scent from Chanel called “Chance.” You walked to the long mirror that stretched from one corner to another. You looked beautiful. I mean, you were bound to have a few scars from your line of work but you ignored them and walked out. 

You walked back into the living room to find a waiting Leon drinking soda and eating a snack. He was wearing a black suit and dress shoes with a white button down shirt. You’d be sure not to splash anything on it. Leon scanned your outfit as you were looking out the window, then you started to talk to Ji-Yeon. He loved the way the dress fit on you. He licked his lips, you felt his gaze burning on you. You ended the conversation and walked over to him. “You ready?” You asked. He picked up his gun and made sure there was a gun in the chamber. He did it with one hand. He did it with one hand?! He stuffed extra ammo into the pants pocket. “Yeah, let’s go.” He put his hand out and you grabbed it. 

You entered the car and nervously bounced your leg. Leon placed a hand on your leg. He rubbed it. Your face heated up. You stopped bouncing your leg. You looked out the window as the scenery rolled behind you. Your earpiece began to beep. You assumed it was a call from Hunnigan so you answered. “ Hello? Can you hear me?” She asked. “Yes.” “ I need you to listen okay? From research I’ve done, there’s a drug that’s been circulating, they call it a candy, and this may be what is spreading the virus. If any is offered to you or Leon be sure to keep it and make sure it’s sent to our testing facilities. Do not eat it. I repeat, do not eat it. ” That was the end of the call. “Fill me in, what’d she say?” “There’s some kind of candy drug going around that Hunnigan thinks is spreading the virus. She says not to eat it and to make sure it’s sent to a testing facility.” 

He nodded. You soon arrived at the club. It was a very tall building, mostly made from glass and had flashing lights in the front. It was.. flashy. You both got out of the car. Leon held his hand out and you held it. You rolled your eyes as you walked through the building and saw many couples having sex on the couches. It made you sick. Leon found a quiet spot off in the distance and sat there with you. He ordered some drinks for you and himself. “Make sure to keep an open eye. He could be anywhere.” He said. You looked at him with a blank expression. “I’ll make sure to close my eyes.” 

Just then, someone walked to the spot you and Leon had been having your drinks in. “Not really one for the night club scene, eh?” It was Choi Mujin. He took a seat next to you. You scooted closer to Leon who wrapped an arm around your waist. “What brings you here, stranger?” You spoke up. “Well.. just looking around. I own this club, you know. But funnily enough, I’ve never seen you two around. You don’t seem like you're even from Korea. Must be foreigners. Here, try one of my partners greatest products. I think you’d find it great.” He handed you a vial of small, black spikey balls of something. This was probably the drug. Leon took it. He didn’t like how he was ogling you and pulled you onto his lap.

“Well uh, take it into consideration.” He said coldly. “What’s your name? I’ve just got to know.” Before you could answer, Leon spoke up for you. “It’s not important. You can speak to me, it’s Leon.” He coldly looked at Mujin. “Seems like I caught you guys at a bad time. I’ll go, see you around pretty.” Leon exhaled angrily. He rolled his eyes as Mujin walked off. You quickly remove yourself from his lap. “What was that all about?” You asked before taking another sip of your drink. “I didn’t like the way he was looking at you.” He said before looking away.

You chuckled. “What are you? My boyfriend?” “For this mission, yeah.” He looked at you sternly. You felt your face heat with blush. You could tell by the way he was looking at you seriously that he really didn’t like what Mujin was doing. You chugged the drink in your glass. Leon finished his drink. “We should go now.” The smell of whiskey on his breath as he talked was strong. You held his hand as you stood up and walked out. The car ride to the hotel was quiet, the smell of alcohol stuck to your body. You definitely would’ve needed to shower before you went to bed. 

You eventually reach the hotel and go into your bed where you find a change of clothes, panties and a bra. You always how the exact sizes of your clothes and shoes. But it didn’t even matter now. You got into the shower, being sure to remove your glasses before stepping in the shower. You remembered that you had to send the sample of the drug to Hunnigan. Leon had it. You finished up your shower before brushing your teeth, putting your lotion on and then grabbing your glasses before you walked out. When you got to Leon’s room that had a locked door you hesitated before you knocked on the door.

He got up and walked across the room to answer the door. The TV was on a random station. He hadn’t been wearing a shirt. You almost drooled over his toned body. Focus! “I uh- came to get the sample to send to Hunnigan.” You said as you looked away at the wall. Leon chuckled. “Never seen a guy shirtless?” He asked. “Well not in person.” “Then you may as well soak it in.” He spread his arms apart. You looked at him in the eyes and asked about the drug. He handed it to you and you walked out. You went into your room and locked the door. 

You needed to call Hunnigan first to alert her of the drug that you were about to send over. You called her and let the line ring for a bit. She finally answered. “ Hi, what’s your status?” “We’ve obtained the sample. Will be in transit soon.” “ I knew he’d hand it over right away. Be careful though. It could be a trick. At the handoff, keep your weapons on you. They could ambush you. I’ll send a makeup stylist up to give you some contacts.” “ Understood. I’ll update you soon.” You hung up and called your driver. “ Hello?” “ Hi, I have something to hand off to you. Please get it to HQ ASAP. It’s very important and could potentially be deadly so do not open it.” “ Yes. Understood, I’m on route. I’ll text you when I’m outside.” You hung up and looked inside the closet. You grabbed the jacket you wore to the airport and put it on. 

There were three knocks at the door and you opened it. There was a small brown bag with a note attached. 

“ Hi ! These are those contacts. I know they can be hard to put in sometimes but I promise when you get the hang of it, it’ll be very easy. Anyways, I hope everything goes well ! ♡ Please call me at 011-850-2-384-3352 if you ever need anything urgent. I hope we can hang out for real someday. I admire you so much. Anyway, bye!! ♡

• Ji-Yeon 

She was a very sweet girl. You would go to war for her even though you barely knew her. You immediately added the number into your phone and walked back into the hotel room. Leon was sitting on the couch in the living room. “And just what were you thinking of going at this hour alone?” He crossed his arms. “I was just gonna hand off the drug sample.” You dug your hands deeper into your pocket. “I’ll come with you.” You looked at him then looked away. You put a hand over your eyes. “You’re not even dressed!” He sighed. “Women.” You looked at him angrily. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “Nothing. Just.. wait here. I’ll come with you.” You wanted to go alone but it wouldn’t be bad to have Leon by your side, huh? Even though you were literally going outside. You slid your feet into the slippers that had been near the door since you arrived and walked to the elevator with Leon. 

“Can’t believe you were gonna leave me here all alone.” He said as he crossed his arms. “Oh you big baby. I would’ve come back.” He rolled his eyes. “No way.” “Way.” He snickered at the reply. The elevator finally reached the ground level. You pulled your phone out. “ I’m outside miss.” You and Leon walked out to the car. “Please be careful. This really could be deadly.” She smiled softly and took the drug. “No worries ma'am. I’ll take good care of it.” She sped off. “I must’ve really stuck to her saying get it to HQ ASAP.” You crossed your arms, as it was windy. Leon took his arm and wrapped it around your shoulders at a weird angle because you were a little shorter than him. “Let’s go back inside, it’s a little breezy.” He said as he walked with you. 

When you were back inside of the elevator, he moved his arm. You felt a little sad but got over it quickly and pushed your glasses. “Shit!” You forgot to put the contacts in. “What?” “I was supposed to put contacts in but I didn’t!” “Calm down, it's not the end of the world. Plus, if they tried to come after you I’d swoop in and save you like your knight in shining armor.” You smiled. “Oh, my knight in shining armor, save me from the cold!” You said dramatically. You and Leon walked back to the room with dumb smiles on your faces. You opened the door to your room and you both headed your separate ways. 

You put your glasses on the stand next to your bed and tried to get some sleep. Most nights at home, you didn’t sleep. The constant reminders of things that you’d seen made it hard to sleep. You had dark circles and eye bags develop on your eyes. The zombies that you would see were something that nobody else should- no, something you should’ve never seen. They fight the virus until they can’t and either die or turn into.. those things. The room was dark. You heard the moans of zombies. You thought one was in your room. Your heart rate increased drastically as your breathing became uneasy. 

In your delirious state, you couldn’t tell if it was real or not. You ran out of your room as you thought it was running after you. You ran to Leon’s door, ran in, shutting it hard, and sat behind the door. Leon jumped up. “What’s wrong?” He rubbed his eyes. “Zombie.. There’s.. a zombie.” You cried from fear. Leon got out of his bed. “Nobodies gonna get you while I’m here.” He came to your side. He wrapped an arm around your shoulders. “You know, I used to have nightmares too. I still have them sometimes. There would be days that I would think zombies would be in my room or looking to infect me. It was scary. That day.. when I was a rookie cop. I was late as hell. Just had stopped at the gas station, little did I know, I’d be in for a surprise. Raccoon City. The government covered it up by killing everyone there, even the non-infected. Everyone was gone.” He speaks about it so freely now, it’s like it had never even happened to him. “The things I saw there were.. terrible. No, terrible isn’t the word. There’s no word to describe what I saw there. It was just that bad. Nobody should ever have to see anything remotely close to that.” He took a deep breath before looking at you. He wiped your tears. “You don’t have to suffer in silence. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here. I know that you may have been alone most of your life but I’m here now. I’m always here.” You sniffled as you wiped your face. You turned to face him. You felt like you could be vulnerable with him. You looked deep into his eyes as the moonlight shined in from the window that hadn’t been covered completely by the blinds. He had very kissable lips. You changed your position. You grabbed the back of his head, looking at him for reassurance. You quickly leaned forward and kissed him. You backed away. You hadn’t even known him for more than maybe two days, well no, actually you’ve known him for a while but never had the stomach to actually talk to him.

He pulled you back in for a passionate kiss. It was.. everything. It was filled with so much emotion, yet no lust seemed to be the intention here. You made out with him for what seemed like hours. You finally let go. He looked at you with love in his eyes. “You look cute without those glasses on.” He stroked your head. Is this.. what love feels like? Is this how it feels to have someone else on your side? You cried again. Not for a bad reason, just being in absolute bliss. “You’re very emotional right now, let’s go back to bed.” Yet again, he wiped your tears and you both climbed into bed. You finally were able to sleep that night. 

You hadn’t had anyone to be there for you in a while. There was a time where you used to think “What if someone had just helped me sort out my problems?” “If someone, somewhere had been there for me?” The question lingered in your brain for a while at one point, eighteen springs as you can remember. But now, you realized something. There was some good in the world. There was someone who could shoulder your problems with you as well. It was as if he’d saved you. You smiled. You’d fully bloomed now as you felt fulfilled. More tears spilled out of your eye and onto the pillow as Leon wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you close. It was.. warm. You weren’t used to it. Your bed has always been cold. Nobody waited there to warm it for you. Because you didn’t let anyone in. You felt like the world had been against you, you versus everyone. That’s how you’d always looked at the world until now. Not everyone could hate you. Not everyone had been hateful.

Chapter Text

You woke up the next day feeling relaxed, which was uncommon for you because normally you’d have an uneasy feeling in your stomach. You saw from the door that had been cracked open a bit that there was food already spread out on the dining room table. You didn’t want to wake Leon so you tried to quietly walk out. Before you could walk out, Leon sat up. “Leaving so soon, princess? Couldn’t even say bye or anything.” He got up from his side of the bed and walked over to you. “I’m sorry I didn’t know you were awake.” He didn’t say anything after that, he just turned you around and hugged you tightly. You hugged him back. You never had experienced this much physical contact since you lived at home with your friends.

You had to move away because of your job and you rarely got to visit because of the high demand job. You melted into Leon’s touch. He was warm. After a little while, he let go of you and you both walked into the dining room to eat. He sat next to you. You didn’t say much of anything while you ate. But Leon had always been the first to speak. “Ready for today?” He asked, taking a sip of his coffee. “I guess.” You looked out the large window to see a great view of Korea. “I need to know that you’re okay. You scared me last night.” He was really worried for you. He had never seen anything like that before and didn’t know how you’d be in the morning. He took your hand and intertwined his fingers with yours. “I’m here. I’ll always be here.” He scooted closer to you to embrace you yet again.

He hesitated before planting a kiss on your forehead. You’d melt under his touch everytime. You turned his head to face yours and kissed him on the lips. You didn’t know what it was about him but he had you addicted to him. His tongue entered your mouth. They tangled. You pulled back with a string of spit connecting at your mouth. He had this look in his eyes, like he wanted more. “Let’s hope our stylists ‘n stuff don’t enter soon. I want you now. ” His lips smashed back onto yours. He trailed kisses from your jawline down to your neck. “ Please don’t leave a hickey.” “Too late.” He was already in the process of leaving one. You crawled onto his lap, legs on either side. He moves back up to your lips and kisses you again. Suddenly, there’s a knock on the door. You both pulled away quickly. You whined in frustration. “Fuck, they just had to come now.” You sighed. 

You walked over to the door to answer it. “Why’d you guys come so early?” “Did you not get my text?” Ji-Yeon scanned your appearance and immediately understood why you may not have seen her text. “Oh! Well in that case, we need you to go to a golfing club, Mujin was spotted there and there’s a suspected drug trade going on. You need to observe any suspicious behavior. Anyways can we come in now? It’s cold out here.” You nodded and let them in. As always, you went into your bedroom and Leon went into his. Which made you sad but you had to accept it. “So, must’ve had fun last night.” Ji-Yeon said as she removed your glasses and put primer on your skin. You blushed. “This didn’t happen last night..” Her mouth fell agape. “Right before we..? Oh god. I’ll try my best to cover this.” She forgot about your face and immediately started working on covering up the hickey.

After she successfully covered the hickey, she began working on your face again. She finished finally and you were able to get dressed. Before that most importantly, she handed you your glasses off. The lenses seemed clearer than they were before. “Try to clean your lenses more often.” The stylist brought an outfit out of a suitcase. Everything in the suitcase had been packed nicely. The outfit consisted of a pleated skirt with a gingham pattern, a white button up shirt, some mary janes, a pearl necklace with a pendant that resembles Jupiter, and a black Chanel bag, she also handed you some black thigh high socks. They all left the room, Ji-Yeon again leaving you some fragrances. You tried a scent from Dossier today. It had notes of saffron, orange blossom, jasmine, plum, cedarwood and a bunch of other stuff. You graciously applied the perfume before walking out. 

Leon was always the first to be ready. You made sure you had your phone and earpiece. You pushed your glasses onto your face before you put the earpiece into your ear. Leon licked his lips at the sight of you. “Are you ready to go?” He hadn’t responded. You waved your hand in his face. “Hellooo? Earth to Leon? Are you ready to go?” He quickly snapped out of the trance he had been in. “Oh uh, yeah.” He cleared his throat and adjusted the leather jacket he was wearing, then pushed the earpiece into his ear before walking out the door with you. On the elevator down, he held your hand. You swung his hand and yours as you waited for the elevator to reach the ground level. 

When you finally reached the ground level, the driver hadn’t been there yet so you had to wait a bit. Your phone rang. It was a text from her. “ Sorry I’m late, I had some business to take care of. I’ll be there shortly. ” You responded with an “Okay.” Before putting your phone away. Leon was still holding your hand. “Why do you always hold my hand?” He looked like he was hesitating to say something in response before he finally came out with “I dunno, I just like holding your hand.” Definitely not because he has a size kink and would love to see how small you’d be underneath him and see your small hands wrap around his- whatever! He broke his train of thought as the car pulled up. He opened the door for you and allowed you to get in first. He shut the door behind him. The woman slid a yellow folder onto the arm rest. You took it. Like always, the details had been there and along with everything you’d need to know. 

Leon could barely contain himself seeing you in that skirt. It did something to him. Made him crazy. He noticed the skirt riding up on you and nearly jumped out of his clothes. He wanted it off you now. Even if it meant he had to tear it off you, he’d do it. You had been saying something, he didn’t know what, he was too busy somewhere else. Perhaps in lala land, as some may say, you waved a hand infront of his face. “Hey? Are you good? We’re here now so cmon.” You got out of the car and he followed. He made sure to stay a good distance behind you so he could watch you as your hips swayed from side to side. He needed you so bad. 

You walked up to the counter. The employee greeted you. He asked for your name so he could take you to your spot. It was in the VIP section. There weren't many people there. Then, you passed Mujin and a woman who seemed to not be any older than you were. “We meet again, Leon.” He dropped his club. Leon immediately pulled you closer to him. His hand wrapped around your waist. “Nice to see you again.” He forced a smile. Mujin put his hand out, Leon shook it. “Ya know, I still never caught your name. What is it?” Leon looked mad. He seemed to really not like this guy and you wondered what he was thinking. “It’s Rosemary.” He nodded. “A pretty name for a pretty girl.” Leon exhaled angrily. “Hey, could you stop hitting on my girl? Isn’t that your girlfriend in there?” He laughed boisterously at his comment. “Oh no, that’s one of my friend’s daughters. Come say hi.” The girl got up and bowed to the both of you. 

Should you bow back? Well, you really didn’t know so you waved at her. “Hello, I’m Oh Hyejin. Nice to meet you.” She spoke very monotonously. “My name is Rosemary. Pleasure to meet you.” You smiled softly. “Yeah, we’ve gotta get going.” He pulled you away. Mujin shrugged and walked back into his room, Hyejin following him. Leon opened the door for you and he walked in after you. You didn’t really want to play golf so you sat down on the sofa that had been there. Leon sat next to you. “Really don’t like that guy. At all.” He leaned back and blew air from his mouth. His jawline looked good from this angle. You scooted into his lap and gave his jawline a kiss. He kissed you back almost immediately.

“You’re mine and only mine, you know that right? You’re my girlfriend. Now and after his mission. I don’t want anyone else looking at you. And take this stupid concealer off. I want them to see.” He wiped it away immediately. His eyes filled with lust. “I want you now. You know what you did. Teasin’ me by wearin’ that skirt.” He kissed around your jawline and your neck. You felt your panties grow wet. You whined. He loved your sounds. “ Please. ” He smirked with satisfaction. “Don't worry doll, I’ll give you everything you want very soon.” He unbuttoned your shirt and tossed it somewhere. Then he unclipped your bra with one hand. He drank up the sight of your half naked body. He started groping your boobs which made you whine.

You felt the erection grow in his pants. It pressed against your clothed pussy. He trailed a hand down to your panties. His eyes grew darker at the feeling of your wetness. He stoked a finger up your pussy. Then quickly pulled away. You whined at the sudden loss of his finger. “I need you, please Leon.” “Tell me what you need.” You sealed harshly before you spoke. “I need your fingers.. inside.. please.” “Good girl.” He pushed your panties aside and plunged two fingers. His fingers were long and thick and it felt so good. He hit every spot just right. Since you didn’t know if the walls were totally soundproof, you tried to stifle your moans. “Let me hear you. C'mon pretty girl.” He started to thrust his fingers in and out faster and harder. He started to rub your clit. You felt a coil in your stomach begin to tighten. “ ‘M so close.. please don’t stop.. fuck..” He sped up the pace of his thrusts. “ ‘M gonna cum!”  

The coil had finally snapped as you came all over his finger, still spewing incoherent babbles. Leon pulled his fingers up to his face and licked them clean. He hummed in satisfaction. “Aren’t we.. supposed to be watching any suspicious behavior..” He nodded. “Well, I can't do much now.. since you’re still on my lap.” You got off of his lap. You fixed your clothes and stood up again, grabbing your purse from the couch. He opened the door for you and walked out of the room. The woman that had previously greeted you stepped out of the room.

“Could you guys spare some of your time? We’d like to talk with you about something.” You looked at Leon who looked down at you. You shrugged your shoulders. “Sure.” The woman allowed you two to walk in first before she walked in and shut the door behind her. Mujin picked up the glass bottle of Jack Daniels and poured some in two glasses for the both of you. “Must’ve really enjoyed golf, huh?” Your face flushed a red color. You hoped you hadn’t been too loud. Then remembered the hickey on your neck and the concealer on the back of one of Leons hands. “I’d like to propose a business plan with the two of you. Only if that’s okay, of course.” He sipped the drink in his cup. “Don’t be so stiff now. There’s no poison in there.” Leon inspected the cup before taking a sip out of it. “You guys are from somewhere in America, right?” Leon nodded slowly. “Well, if you guys aren’t narcs then I’d like you to help distribute my product.” Hyejin handed him a silver briefcase. He opened the latches on the briefcase. “Pure coke. Highest quality you can get.” He took another sip of his drink. 

“Maybe you know some people who’d be willing to buy?” He looked at you for an answer. “Girls your age surely like experimenting with different things.. maybe they’d like to try this?” You scoffed and rolled your eyes. “I don’t have any friends.” Mujin raised an eyebrow. “Interesting.. maybe you can be friends with Hyejin here? You’d be up for it, right? Both very lonely girls.” You looked at her. “Look man, we gotta get going soon. Get to the point.” He crossed his hands in his lap. “All I want is for you to consider my business proposal. Here’s my number in case you consider it.” He pulled a napkin and pen from his lap and quickly scribbled it down. “Since you’re so eager to go, take this and leave.” He tossed the napkin at him. He rolled his eyes and got up angrily. “Oh, one more thing.” Leon snatched his bottle of Jack Daniels and drank it as he swung the door open to leave. You followed him. 

As you stood outside waiting for the car, he took a big gulp. “Maybe you should slow down..” You were concerned at how much he was drinking. “I’m fine, doll. Make sure you call Hunnigan.” That’s right, you still did need to call her. You pulled your phone from your purse and held it out on speakerphone as it rang. “ Hello, what’s your status?” “Mujin offered a business proposal. He wants us to help distribute cocaine or- something I don’t know. Looked like coke but I hadn’t been paying attention. By the way he acts everytime he sees us, he’s probably been taking it too.” “ Okay.. good to know..” You heard the clacking of her keyboard and her nails. “ We’re gonna need to do something earlier than expected. One of our intel sources says he’s been going around doing the same thing to other people. He received a sample of the coke and we tested it again to find yet another strand of the T-Virus.” Leon took the phone. 

“Does this mean we’ll be killing him soon then?” Silence. “ Most likely. But, you’ll have to get rid of his bodyguard first. A girl, apparently her name is Oh Hyejin, or well I thought it was. Her real name is Yoon Jiwoo. Her dad was killed and she joined Mujin to help her find her dads killer. Why don’t you have Leon train you a bit? There’s a training room in the hotel and I can send some comfortable clothes for you guys.” You looked at Leon who shrugged his shoulders. “Sure, I don’t care.” Hunnigan once again began typing again. “ She's a tough fighter so be careful. Mujin runs the company that’s protecting her and he has many men. We can send soldiers to your exact location if need be. Hold on one second… I just received word that there may be another distributor of the candy drug.. we’re trying to identify him. I’ll call you back.” It sounded urgent the way she hung up like that. It made you worry. 

“Looks like you’re gonna be trained by the greatest.” You chuckled softly. “We’ll see about that.” Just then, the car pulled up. You got in first, as always and Leon followed. You just couldn’t stop your mind from thinking what’s next or what’s gonna happen? Something in you made you excited to take the next step. I mean, you’d be fighting another girl. You knew most peoples weak points and you had been pretty tough yourself, considering the amount of training you had to endure and things your parents taught you. Leon probably had been a special agent longer than you’d been one so he most likely knew way more than you.

But you knew one thing for certain, you were gonna need contacts. From the amount of times your glasses shattered from a blow to the face you didn’t wanna risk it again since you’d been paying out of pocket because you went to the optometrist before the insurance was able to cover the expense. You started texting Ji-Yeon about bringing you some contacts. 

Hey Ji-Yeon, it’s Rosemary, I was wondering if you could bring some contacts the next time you meet me?

Hi Rose! What happened to the ones I dropped off to you personally? 

Oh… well… 😅

Rose! Ugh fine since I love you so much, I’ll bring you some again.

Thanks! 

You're welcome!!

The nickname she gave you made you smile. She was very sweet, seriously. It could make your teeth rot. You hoped nothing would happen to her after you went back to America. The car rolled in front of you and Leon. You got back into the car. Hunnigan called again. “ Update from earlier; turns out the person who we thought had been distributing more candy drugs have already been killed. His name was Do Gangjae. He was killed by Hyejin. Now we only have one objective; kill Mujin and Hyejin.” “ Understood.” You quickly hung up. You sat in the car motionless as you looked out the window. Leon squeezed your hand as he held it. You loved when he held your hand. You would melt into his touch everytime.

You fell asleep on the ride to the hotel but never let go of his hand. When you reached the hotel, Leon woke you up. You yawned and stood up outside. When you walked back into the apartment, you found Ji-Yeon waiting for you inside your room. She had a huge bag of clothes for you. When she saw you, she jumped up and hugged you. She smelled sweet, like strawberries and vanilla. Her short brown bangs tickled your neck as she nuzzled into it. You hugged her back and ruffled her short hair. “I’m so excited to see you because I have so many things for you!” She dumped the clothes out onto the bed, it was a mix of everything. Underwear, bras, dresses, you name it, it was guaranteed to be in that pile. She made you try all the clothes on. Leon walked into the room and her mood seemed to drop. “Got a little fashion show going on?” He asked, leaning in the doorframe. He watched you twirl as the light blue dress you had on fit your curves perfectly. Ji-Yeon was now looking at her phone. “You did a really good job picking these clothes out for me.” You sat next to her and smiled. Her gaze softened when she looked at you. Almost as if it was the look of love that you had seen in Leon’s eyes. She smiled at you. “I picked all the things that reminded me of you.” “Thanks.” You pressed a kiss to her cheek. She blushed a bit. She quickly stood up. “Well, I should be going now! The contacts are in the bathroom for you, kay bye!” She walked with that familiar bounce in her step. Leon filled the empty spot next to you. All the clothes were on the floor, along with some hangers she’d given to you. 

He laid flat on his back, with a hand draped across his waist. You trailed a hand up and down his chest before leaning down to give him a kiss. His hand lifted up to your face, pulling your face closer to his. You straddled his hips and continued kissing him. He stopped for a moment. “What brings this on?” “I don’t know.. it’s just that.. that outfit is driving me crazy. ” He wore a tight navy blue shirt and dark blue jeans. He sat up a little bit, hands falling under the curves of your ass. He squeezed it as he went back in for another kiss. “That skirt is driving me crazy. Been driving me crazy since earlier.” 

His hands traveled down to your waist and went up your shirt. “Off. Now.” You quickly unbuttoned the shirt and threw it somewhere. He took your bra off and started to lick your nipples. The feeling of his warm tongue against you felt so good, you should help but whine. “I love those sounds you make, baby. So heavenly.” You smiled. “You have too many clothes on. Take them off.” He makes quick work of removing his shirt and unbuckling his pants. You moved from his lap so he could take his pants off, leaving him only in boxers. You also took off your skirt and panties as you waited for him to sit back down. “ Please. I need you.. inside please.. ” “Not yet. Be patient, princess.” He plunged two fingers into your cunt. “All this just for me. I'd be stupid to let you go. You’re mine. Now and forever. I don’t care what anyone at work says, you’re mine.” He thrusted into you at a moderate pace. “ Ngh… faster.. please. ” “Use your manners, you filthy slut.” “Please… sir? ” “See? Good girls deserve a reward.” He thrusted faster. You babbled sweet nothings into his ear. “Already too dumb to speak? It’s okay baby, I’ll take care of you. You won’t ever have to worry about anyone else ever again.” He thrusted harder and faster now, making you almost reach your climax. “ M so close.. please don’t stop, sir..” You moaned into his ear. Your breathing and moans got louder. You were almost there. He stopped. He stopped?

“You come when I say you can.” He put his fingers up to your mouth. “Suck.” You took his fingers into your mouth and sucked them graciously, looking up at him. “Don’t look at me like that. I might not be able to hold back.” You mumbled something but he couldn’t understand you. He pulled his fingers out of your mouth and kissed you again. Your tongues danced a passionate dance, then he bit your lip a tiny bit being sure not to hurt you. He pulled back, your lips being all swollen from kissing him. “Hope you’re ready for me.” 

He pulled his cock from his boxers, you lifted your hips a little bit as he lined up with your entrance. He was big. He didn’t move yet. “So fucking tight.” He growled. “ Feels so full.. and so big..” You took a second before sinking all the way down onto him. You whined as he began moving. It felt amazing. He constantly hit your g-spot and you babbled in his ears. He loved being inside you, he loved how your greedy pussy sucked him in, he loved every second. He was pussywhipped. “ Please.. fuck.. faster, sir.” “Anything you want, doll.” He thrusted faster into you, hair sticking to his face as sweat beads appeared on his forehead. You moaned loud as you knew you were gonna cum soon. “ Gonna film this little pussy up.. gonna breed you, my pretty girl. Then I’m gonna watch as my cum drips out of you. You’d like that thought, wouldn’t you? ” You nodded fast. “Uh huh.. I can take it, sir. I’ll take all of it only for you.” You clawed at his back, probably leaving many scratches . “I’m so close..” You both whined at the same time. “Again..” “Do what again?” “Wh..whimper again..” You loved it when he did. He stopped holding his noises and let them all fall from his lips. “ Takeittakeittakeit ..” He said as he came in you. He thrusted up into you before thrusting a few more times before he stopped, your orgasm following his. He pulled out and sat you on the bed. On wobbly hands and legs, you got on all fours and he watched as his seed dripped out. “Do I.. do I look pretty?” He grabbed your phone from the dresser and took a photo, then opened the video option. “Very pretty, baby. So pretty for me.” He stuffed his seed into your cunt, when he pulled his fingers out you whined at the sudden emptiness. He sat your phone down on the dresser. 

“You did such a great job, doll.” As he watched his seed drip out, he felt kind of guilty, not knowing if you’d been on birth control or not. “I’m on the pill.” You said tiredly from the other side of the room. “Let’s get in the bath, huh?” You nodded and he walked into your bathroom and ran a bath, adding some soap. He came back to you with a wet washcloth to wipe you up. After he did that, he walked back into the bathroom and turned the water off. He took the last article of clothing he had on off and picked you up, bridal style into the bathroom. The bath was nice and warm for your muscles, and relaxing. He was stroking your hair. Your glasses fogged up from the steam. He took them off and set them on the ledge of the tub. “If you keep strokin my hair like that, I might fall asleep.” He smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll wake you up.” He wrapped hands around your waist as you leaned back against his chest. He pressed a kiss to your forehead and you smiled. You were in your happy place. “This the training you had in mind?” He said. You chuckled. “Not at all, but I enjoyed it.”

Chapter Text

Leon reaches up Mujins waist and drives a knife deeply into him. Blood spills from Mujins mouth and the knife is pushed deeper. Mujin leans against a wall as Leon winces in pain on the floor. You struggle to get out of the binds placed on your hands and feet. The binds finally break as you quickly rush to grab the gun on the table, cock it and shoot Mujin four times to be sure he was dead 

“That’s.. my girl.” Leon coughs up blood. You rush over to his side. “Hang in there for me, please. I need you.” You hook an arm underneath him and help him up. He holds his stomach as you and him walk onto the elevator. He moans out in pain, you wish you could’ve done something sooner. At the ground floor, Claire had been drinking a stolen bottle of wine. Her face was bloodied and she was injured as well. You try to think of what you should do. In a moment of panic, you call Ji-Yeon. You inform her of the current situation and she says she’ll be right over. You watched Leon and Claire as they sat, bleeding out onto the couches and floor.

You exhale deeply as you think you’ve found a moment's peace. Hyejin comes out of nowhere and starts to attack you. She swings her knife in a sloppy manner, as she’d been bleeding out. You were able to knock her back and onto a wall. You pull the gun from your pocket that you’d used to kill Mujin to shoot her. In her last moments, she still fought. She was able to cut through your jacket and onto your arm that is now bleeding greatly. She passed out with the knife still in her hand, struggling to breathe. Her face was twisted and tears had been running down her face. You felt bad for her. She must’ve given her life. Her grip still remained tight on the knife as life slipped from her body. 

This was the worst face of death you’d ever seen during your line of work. It was.. horrific but at the same time sad. She must’ve been really dedicated to this company to fight like this. You took a seat next to Leon. “Are you.. okay?” You looked at the blood pouring from your arm, then to Leon’s body. “I’m okay.. I’m just worried about you and..?” “Claire. Claire Redfield,” Her voice sounded strained. “You guys are worse off than me. I hope she gets here soon.” You got up to check outside but Leon pulled your arm weakly. “Stay.” Half lidded eyes looked back up at you. You wanted to cry. You knew there was a possibility that you could lose him. You hoped for the best. The love of your life could die right now, in your arms.

You looked up at Claire who was fighting to stay awake. Her head fell and raised as did her chest. You wanted to help both of them. It felt like you were gonna pass out as well. Your head felt heavy as Leon mumbled things to you to try and keep you awake. You tried to respond but your eyes fought against you. Your eyes felt unbearably heavy and they shut. Leon panicked. He didn’t want to move much because he hurt everywhere. He pulled you closer to him and embraced you tightly. “You must really care for her, huh?” He laughed weakly. “I love her. I don’t want her to die. A part of me would die.” His eyes burned with tears. “I just.. I’m so mad I couldn’t have gotten her out of that chair sooner. God, I’m so glad Mujin is dead now. She’s everything to me and I didn’t wanna lose her.” He brought a hand up to your head and stroked it. He noticed that one of your lenses had been cracked. He gently removed them and placed them on your shirt. 

“It’s not your fault.” Claire looked at Leon. “I mean, you did all you could. You fought hard, I’m sure. You’ve always been like that. You tend to blame yourself for things that you can’t always fix. You’re both hurt and so am I. This was inevitable, we knew walking into this building that someone was gonna leave here hurt or dead.” Tears spilled from Leon’s eyes. “I just don’t wanna lose her.” “And you won’t, there’s a car outside for us.” Ji-Yeon ran inside. “Sorry we’re late. There was traffic.” She spoke all in one breath. “Cmon.” She waved a hand at Leon and Claire. Leon carried you out to the car despite still being weak. 

You awoke two days after being brought to the hospital. Leon was by your side as Hunnigan stood by the door. Your left arm had been in a sling while your right had bandages going up and down your arm. The pain from your cut hit you and you winced in pain. “Hey, take it easy.” Leon pushed you back softly after you tried to sit up. “Where’s.. where’s Claire?” “She already left the hospital. It’s just me and you.. and Hunnigan.. and Ji-Yeon.” He looked at you like you’d been hurt as badly as he was. “Are you okay now? You’d been bleeding pretty bad.” “Oh me? I’m fine.. just a few scratches.” You looked at his face, his gaze always softened when he looked at you.

His normal expressionless expression turned into a face of worry as his brows knitted together as they normally did when he was worried or perplexed. A hand came up to stroke your cheek. You nuzzled your face into his hand and smiled at him. He reciprocated the gesture. Hunnigan playfully rolls her eyes. “Cmon lovebirds, we gotta go.” You tossed the covers off of your body. You wanted to walk but Leon insisted he carried you out. You allowed him to pick you up bridal style to walk out. Ji-Yeon ran into you and Leon on her way to your room. She looked sad, you wanted to know why. “Hey Rose, you’re leaving?” “Oh, yeah. I wanted to say thanks for everything. You truly were a delight to have around and I’ll try my best to make it back here.” Leon put you down. You wrapped your right arm around her shoulders, ignoring the pain that had been screaming for you to lower your arm as she wrapped her hands around your waist. “I’ll miss you.” She nuzzled her head against your neck as she silently cried. You pulled away and pecked her forehead. “I’ll see you.” She waved as you, Leon, and Hunnigan walked out of the hospital.

Hunnigan drove back to the airport. Leon sat next to you as he always did and just looked at you. He still seemed worried and you didn’t know what for. I mean, you did tell him you were okay. After a while, his worried look turned neutral as he looked out of his window. A few minutes later, the car stopped. You all got off and headed back onto the plane. Just like the first time, Leon sat next to you, only this time sitting on your right side. He held your hand.

He wanted to properly ask you out, not through flurries of words during sex, but properly like he’d do it. He imagined being at dinner with you, maybe somewhere fancy or whatever you liked. He would maybe buy you some kind of jewelry, maybe a promise ring or a necklace, maybe matching fingerless gloves like he often wore during missions. He would look at you while holding your hands and ask you out. That kinda thing is what he liked. He smiled to himself. You caught a glimpse of his smile. It was pretty. He didn’t smile often, only if he was in a really good mood. “What’re you smiling about?” “Oh, just.. stuff.” You chuckled at the remark. “Okay, surely I’ll find out what something is.” He smiled even bigger. “Yeah. Maybe you will.”

Now, it's been a few weeks after the mission. You’d still been healing, but you were able to remove the cast, per your doctor. Leon asked you out to dinner. How could you say no? I mean, you did tell him you’d hold him to taking you out. You figured you’d wear a dress or something. You rummaged through your closet until you discovered a package, something you’d ordered but hadn’t gotten a chance to wear it anywhere. It was a light pink dress that had an asymmetrical hem and a cowl neckline. The straps were thin, being held together by a neat bow. This would be perfect. You paired the dress with white shoes and grabbed your purse, and phone. You considered taking your gun but decided not to and settled on a knife that could fit in your purse. 

As soon as you headed outside, Leon had already been waiting outside. The pink and yellow sunset fell over his shiny black Rolls Royce. He walked around the car to open your door. You smiled at him, your glossy lips were the first thing that caught his eyes. He loved how you looked in that dress. He knew that he had to have you.

Chapter Text

After a few minutes of chatter between you and Leon, you’d finally arrived at the restaurant. As always, he’d opened the door for you. He was hypnotized by you, from the way your hips would sway when you walked to the way you talked and the way your lips would curl up into a smile. You too had been hypnotized by him in a sense, you loved how he smelled and how he would look at you with so much love and affection. You could die. He held your hand as he waited in line so he could get a table. 

He swung his hand with yours. “You must be happy to see me.” “I’m always happy to see you.” He smiled as he looked at you. You couldn’t help but smile. At first, you wondered what I’d felt like to be loved by someone or to love someone. But now, you finally knew. Everytime he was around you, you’d get butterflies in your stomach. Those pet names he’d call you had you in a chokehold. You could look at him for hours. Just admiring him. You loved him. You’d do anything for him, you would die for him at that. Finally, after 5 minutes someone came over to seat you two. It was a booth by a big window. The sunset was still visible from here, it looked beautiful as always.

But god, was Leon nervous right now. He bit his lip thinking of what to say to you now and what you’d say to him. But regardless, he kept calm. “How about that vacation? Where’d you say, the Bahamas?” He smiled. “Amazing that you’d even remember that, but I probably won’t be able to go. You know, this job is very demanding. Seems as if I hadn’t had a break since my first day on the job.” He chuckled at his own remark. You chuckled as well. “It’ll happen, I know it will.” You smile at him reassuringly.

He looks down at the box in his pocket and then back up at you, nodding and smiling at you. He’s still as awkward as ever. It was always so cute how awkward he was around people, but even now he still denies it. After some time, a waiter came over and took your orders and left. It’d been silent as you looked out the window with him doing the same. “You know, you could try to narrate every person's life that walks past. See for example her; obviously she’s a big shot because look at all the designer she has on.. she’d probably be like ‘ugh, gotta hurry before I’m late.’ Or something like that.” He smiled. You loved his outlook on life, everything he had to say you wanted to listen to. For hours. 

You both had a look of love in your eyes as you talked to each other. The giggling and flirting was apparent from any angle. You could see and hear it miles away. You placed a hand over his that left him with a stupid smile and quickly snapped out of whatever thoughts you were in when the waiter brought your food. He planned on asking you to be his girlfriend after giving you the gift.. after you eat. His nerves shot through the roof as he watched as you finished eating.

“Hey, I wanna give you something.” He pulled up a long rectangular box that was wrapped with a ribbon. You smiled up at him, pulling the ribbon off to find your name engraved on the top of the box. You finally took the top off to reveal black, fingerless gloves, the same kind he wore. You tried them on and they fit perfectly. “How’d you get my measurements?” He smiled. “Let’s say, I asked a certain someone. Actually someone who you might know.” Your mind went directly to Ji-Yeon. Even though you could tell she didn’t really like Leon, she still probably wanted to make you happy.

You felt sad but it was short lived. Leon took your gloves hands and looked into your eyes. “I’ve been putting this off for a while, doll. I wanted to be in the right setting to ask you this. But.. will you.. be my girlfriend?” Your smile stretched from ear to ear. You nodded at him as he smiled back at you. You reached over the table to press a quick kiss to his cheek. He smiled wide as you smiled back at him. “Now, what do you say to going back home so I can.. show you just how much I really love you.” You nodded quickly as he paid the bill and hurried to the car. 

This was probably gonna be a long night.
