~~~~~~~~~~Bonds~~~~~~~~~~
Leon can’t help but be smug for the psychological punishment he is about to give his husband. It’s not bad, it’s quite fun actually but Chris deserves this little bit of punishment after that emotional fiasco. Four days after Leon brought hell and fire to the people that almost took his husband away, here they are finally getting back to routine. Leon feels sad for Chris because of what is happening to BSAA, Chris has lost the remaining hope he had for the current situation of BSAA. Leon doesn’t want his husband to go rogue but if this continues, he knows Chris has no choice but to do it. Leon is satisfied that he has finally gotten to sleep beside his husband but he isn’t exactly happy, you see Leon has conditioned himself to sleep with his head either on top of his husband's chest or nuzzling his husband's neck. None of the two are viable because Rebecca ordered Chris to avoid using his back as much as possible to make sure the wounds on his back heal properly.
So for the four days that had gone by, Chris has been sleeping on his stomach and this resulted in Leon not getting his preferred sleeping position; it has contributed a bit to this situation. It’s nearly seven o’clock in the morning and he has woken up again in a bit of a bad mood because again, Chris' arms were not surrounding him.
He sighs and just decides to get the day started already, Leon looks beside him and smiles. Chris was facing him and snoring, he has been doing his best to get better as fast as possible but being whipped forty-eight times, nobody can heal that fast. The most concerning were the five slash wounds that were responsible for his bleeding, the whip had done its job to split skin and muscles, Rebecca even saw a bit of bone to one of the five open wounds. Leon has been helping his husband in cleaning his wounds and bandaging them.
He feels justified that he burned that base to the ground every time he sees the wound on Chris, he may have massacred those mercs and everyone in the vicinity that were not Chris, Piers and the Wolves but that day was one of the scariest days of Leon’s life and there were a lot of days in his life that were scary. He decides not to wake Chris and gets out of their bed and gets ready already. He needs to wake Sherry and Piers, because today is the day of Chris' punishment. He is going to buy new weapons for the Wolves and is going to buy Sherry and Piers whatever they want, because they deserve them after making sure their Papa comes home alive.
They live just a few miles south of the BSAA Headquarters turned private one for the founders of the BSAA. Chris insisted this and Jill and Rebecca agreed to it, Leon did not like that they were living close to it, but has definitely changed his mind now after this incident.
They live in a modest house, built from the ground up and not of those pre-fabricated ones, it costs quite a lot but it’s not like they can’t afford it. Chris barely spends on anything and only deposits a small amount of money for Claire, Piers and Sherry on a bank account none of the three know and will only be known at the time of his husband's death. It’s the same with him, he sets a small amount for Sherry and Piers and barely spends on anything besides alcohol before Chris confessed his feelings to Leon and stubbornly changed his life into a happy one. So in a way they aren’t super rich but can definitely afford luxury items.
A two-story house with a hidden armory underground, the contractor, already a known company in the business of making sure no blueprints of the houses of their clients are leaked, the workers paid and sworn to secrecy. The second floor consists of one master bedroom with a covered balcony, and four other rooms, two of which belong to Sherry and Piers. The first floor is the usual kitchen, dining room and living room and a guest room because they have guests very often. The windows aren’t totally bullet proof but will give them enough time to hide. This house was the home of their family, Chris and Leon spared no expense to keep everyone they love safe.
Leon stood up and slowly stretched his body, a morning exercise Sherry insisted to all of them. “Dad, you never know a knee pain or a back pain can cost you your life!” She was so adamant about it that he somehow convinced Piers too. Chris needed rehab after Edonia and China and physical exercises worked the best for someone like Chris. A memory Leon doesn't like to revisit. If he thinks about it, he should be thankful that Edonia and China happened because that was the reason both him and Chris got their shit together and finally decided to be happy together, so here they are now after all the sadness and heartbreak, they are happy and together.
Leon sighs and smiles, his quirky family is a handful but he loves them anyway and would not change anything. He went to their bathroom and started his morning routine, then put on some new clothes. He saw one of Chris’ old BSAA shirt that no longer fit him but still kept for memories sake, but has become one of Leon’s favorite shirts to wear.
He knocks on Piers' door and then Sherry’s, it's enough to wake those two up since they are trained agents and soldiers. He proceeds to go downstairs and straight to the kitchen, since Chris will be in charge for dinner, Leon decides he is in charge of breakfast, he opens the laptop they designated for the kitchen to check all the security systems he installed to their house. He sees all the systems green and all the camera’s outside working without the alarm being tripped in the vicinity of their house. It might be overkill but this is the place where his family calls home, Leon won’t take any chances and lucky for him Chris supported it all the way.
He takes out the eggs, mayonnaise, butter, oil and seasonings and starts to cook. Ten minutes have passed before Leon could hear bickering coming down the stairs and sees his children arguing.
“No way in hell Sherry am I buying that!”
“What! You have to! You owe me little bro.”
“Well, this doesn’t count until yo- Hey! Stop that! Not until Dad and Papa actually agree.”
“You have to buy it now Piers, the tickets are almost sold out!”
“Then I guess you have to ask permission today, if you want me to buy it.”
“I’ll ask permission, just not today.”
“See! You know they won’t agree so you want to buy it first, so then you have an excuse to actually go.”
“Arrggghhh. You are no help at all Piers.” Leon then hears an arm being slapped repeatedly.
“Hey, that hurts, I still have bruises on that area.” He then hears Piers going down the stairs faster than Sherry to avoid being slapped.
Leon sees his two children trying to slap and not be slapped as they sit down on the kitchen table. Leon waits to be acknowledged before settling this argument. Piers looks at him, moves his chair a bit more to the side to get away from Sherry who was still pouting.
“Dad, tell Sherry she’s being an idiot.”
Leon looks both at his children, then at Sherry. “Okay, tell me why your brother thinks you're an idiot?”
Sherry looked nervous but she sat up straight to look at Leon with her best puppy eyes. “Dad, I want to go to a concert.”
“ A concert? Of whose band?”
“Evanescence”
“Hmm, that doesn't sound like a stupid idea.” Leon goes back to cooking their breakfast.
“Reall-”
Piers slapped the table, “Tell Dad, where’s the concert at Sherry.”
Leon doesn't turn around, breakfast is almost done and Chris should be waking up just about now. The antibiotics and pain killers were making his husband more sleepy than he usually is, he looks at the clock, almost eight o’clock. He hears Sherry growl at Piers, and Piers just scoffs back.
“You see Dad, the concert is in Nashville.”
“Nashville,” Leon plates the last of the eggs, sausages and bacon before he turns around. “And when is this concert?”
“Three days from now?” Sherry was nervous. Leon raised his eyebrows as he sat on his chair and set the plate. Piers immediately started to eat
Now Leon understands why Piers thinks this was a stupid idea. Chris and his Wolves were just targeted and Sherry going alone to a concert in another state is a bad idea.
“Dad please,” Sherry got out of her usual chair and went to the chair Chris usually sits in. “I’ll be lowkey, I’ll even take Jake so you don't have to worry. I'll be the one to pay for his ticket. Then after the concert I’ll be on the next flight to DC. So please, I really love this band and this might be one of their last tours before they retire. Please.”
Leon tries to see the dangers, as of now there was no intel that these unknown people are specifically targeting their family. They targeted Chris and the Hound Wolves Squad but that could be because Chris’s squad is known to handle major operations regarding BOWs. They might try to target them after the failed attempt to kill Chris and the Wolves but after the destruction Leon did to their base, they should still be regrouping. On papers, there are no records of their family except for Leon being Chris' husband but that’s just necessary and can’t be avoided and the only people who have access to that information are top brass.
Their enemies tortured Chris for information, this could mean these people have no allies that can get more detailed information on Chris’ personal life. Sherry has a time window to enjoy this concert before they need to stay alert, six days would have passed when Sherry would attend the concert, that is still acceptable, no enemy would attack that soon again. Especially if they get the intel that BSAA suspended Captain Redfield and the Wolves until further notice. So Sherry could attend this concert. Leon was now leaning towards giving her his permission to go. It might also be because she has always said she wanted to experience going to a concert once and this was a band she had shared to Leon that she really liked, they even play it sometimes in the car.
So with a sigh and a rebuttal ready for his son, he smiled towards Sherry. “Okay, I give you my permission but Jake will go with you but you will not be taking a normal plane nor will you be driving. Tell Jake to contact his old acquaintances to transport you to Nashville via air.”
“Yes!” Sherry screamed with joy.
“What- Dad no!” Piers was about to grab Sherry.
“Piers, let your sister have this. I know you’re worried for her but she can take care of herself if something does happen and Sherry assured us that she will take Jake as an added precaution.”
Leon looked at Sherry for confirmation, Sherry coughed and smiled. “Of course Dad, I will take Jake.”
Piers tried to argue again but Leon held his hands as a sign to let him continue.
“Sherry I suggest you get permission from your Papa before he is fully awake and still groggy because if your brother is against this I assure you, you will not have his permission if he is fully awake. I suggest you go upstairs now, get a voice recorder as evidence and take advantage of your Papa’s inability to properly think.”
Leon could not help but chuckle seeing Piers and Sherry’s face. Sherry had a wide grin while getting up and doing what his Dad told her to do while Piers was so flabbergasted, that he forgot the eggs on his fork before he dropped it in shock.
“Dad, did I just hear you correctly? I didn’t hit my head right?” Piers touched his head like he was searching for an injury.
Leon just chuckled, “Finish your breakfast Piers, after breakfast can you message all the Wolves to meet us at Kendo's at ten to ten thirty? Tell them Omega is buying new toys for them, no budget limit.”
Piers grinned at this, “Sure thing Dad.”
After fifteen minutes, a very happy Sherry went down the stairs again followed by a very confused but still sleepy Chris. Sherry went to her usual seat and started eating breakfast while elbowing Piers as a signal that he needs to buy the ticket now. Piers just rolled his eyes and got out of his seat. “Dad, I gotta go and Papa, I am so disappointed in you right now.” Chris looked at Piers, confusement showing on his face and wondered what he did wrong so early in the morning to earn his son's disappointment. Chris rubs his forehead, his head fucking hurts.
Leon just smiled as Chris almost missed his seat. A testament to how he is suffering from the effects of the antibiotics and pain killers coursing through his body. Piers went upstairs to get ready and Sherry ate her breakfast quietly and slowly, since she got what she wanted.
Chris groaned and extended his arm to put around Leon’s shoulders, “Morning Baby,” he leaned down and kissed Leon’s forehead and he then turned to Sherry. “Morning to you too again Princess.”
Sherry smiled, "Morning Papa, does your head hurt?”
“Sadly, it still hurts a bit Princess.” Chris tightened his grip around Leon before rising from the seat, turning around to where he makes his daily protein shake, which everybody insisted tasted gross, except for Chris.
“It shouldn’t be hurting Papa, you already took pain medications.” Her eyebrows drew together, already thinking of contacting Rebecca. Leon was eating slowly like his daughter when he noticed Sherry gripping his fork tightly, when he looked at her, he saw her face becoming glassy, he followed where her gaze was and saw Chris’ back.
His husband's back is covered in bandages, Rebecca said to let his wounds breath and to avoid sweating and not lean against them as much as possible so he has not been wearing any tops for the past three days, a consequence because all his husbands shirts are tight and hugged his figure, today was the same, he did not wear a top and only wears the few sweaters that are bigger than him in the afternoon. Chris's back is huge and bulky, a symbol of safety to many including to Leon and their adopted children, so to see his back covered in wounds. Sherry could not help but sniffle, maybe if they had been a bit faster then Chris would not have suffered so much. Deep in their hearts, they knew how lucky they were, so lucky. Leon grabbed Sherry’s hand holding the fork and smiled, whispering. “It’s okay Sherry, he’s home and safe.” Leon then grinned, “Hurry up and eat your breakfast, I know you need more time to get ready unlike your brother.”
Sherry sniffed and smiled. “Okay Dad, I need to get ready now.” She then hurried up into her room to get ready, Leon did tell her she can buy anything she wants today. Chris sees Sherry hurrying up the stairs and hears Leon cleaning up the table. By the time he turned around after making his very delicious protein shake, there was only one plate and two cups remaining on the table. Leon was already sitting again and messaging someone on his personal phone. Chris went to sit again and drag Leon’s chair closer to him, Leon just raised his eyebrows and smirked. “Possesive aren’t we?”
“Baby, I almost died and the last thing I thought when I felt that nuzzle on the back of my head was that I couldn’t kiss you goodbye when we last saw each other.” He grabbed the back of Leon’s head and kissed him hard. Not long, Leon opened his mouth to let Chris tongue inside his mouth, Leon moaned, it had been too long since they had been intimate. The last four days he was too worried about Chris to think about sex, he doesn’t want to force his wounded husband. Now though that Chris was the one that initiated this, Leon could not help but feel arousal, he whined and could feel his cock harden inside his pajama. “Chr–is,” Leon whined, Leon then felt that hand behind his head go down to his waist and pushed him closer to Chris. A command to sit on Chris’ lap, Leon dutifully obeyed and wrapped his hands around Chris' neck and this time Leon leaned down to capture Chris lips and opened his mouth so Chris tongue could enter. He grinded his hips and moaned, he could already feel Chris’s hard cock below his pajama. He feels Chris’s hands wrapped around his waist and starts caressing him. Leon grinded again to feel pleasure and Chris responded back by grinding up. “Fuck Baby, we should stop.” He then started licking Leon’s neck.”
“Then stop kissing me, you know I love your kisses.” Leon craned his neck back to give Chris more access to his neck and moaned. Leon grinded his hips again and thought Chris should just fuck him on the table and–
“Jesus!!! No!!!” Piers screamed as he saw his Dad and Papa, he covered his eyes and screamed again. “I did not see that! I did not! Nope.. nope.. Nope.. I am now erasing it from my memories.”
Chris and Leon startled and both jerked back, Leon hitting the edge of the table as he stood up and Chris hitting the back of the seat. Chris unfortunately jerked back with too much force and since Leon was no longer on his lap to counter his force the chair tipped over with Chris still on it. This resulted in Chris going down with the chair and his wounds hitting the back of the chair as he fell down with it. “Aggghhh!!!!.”
“Chris!”
“Papa!”
Leon went down immediately and rolled Chris to his side to see the wounds on his back. He curses as he sees a bit of red blooming on his bandages. Leon helps Chris sit on the floor.
“Chris, I am so sorry.”
“Papa, I didn’t mean to startle-”
“Both of you stop,” Chris just chuckled. “Stop it, both of you aren’t at fault. Jesus.” Chris stood up and Leon followed. “Okay that was just a very embarrassing accident. Piers, we are sorry you had to see that.”
Piers just turned red. “Please tell me, you two didn’t actually fuck on the table since I started living here.”
At this Leon was the one that laughed. “Yeah kid, to be clear, since Sherry started living here all the adult stuff has been strictly inside our bedroom.”
Piers visibly exhaled, “Okay, god, even at twenty-six years old thinking your parents doing it makes me want to puke.”
Chris grunted and Leon just rolled his eyes. Leon started to clean the remaining plate and cups on the table and Chris went to Piers to pat his head and that’s when Chris noticed Piers' outfit. Piers isn’t wearing his sweaters, he always wears his sweaters when off duty, “Where exactly are you going?”
Leon stilled. He didn’t actually tell Chris about today’s plan. Piers was sporting a confused face because Leon told both him and Sherry that Chris had known about this shopping spree.
“What do you mean Papa? Dad told you that he’s taking us on a shopping spree!” Piers chuckled, already in his head choosing all the games he was going to get. He did not feel the tense moment at all. He patted his Papa’s' shoulder gently and went to the living room to turn on the family's Playstation 5 because Leon wanted to play with Sherry and Piers. “Really Papa, you need to drink your memory vitamins.” Piers said as he started the console and inserted Tekken.
A game by the way, that Leon keeps losing to both his children, a win that both their children hold against their Dad. Leon just let them have it because they all know their Dad can kick all their asses in real life. Chris looked at Piers for a moment then sighs and looks at Leon who was turning on the dishwashing machine.
“Did you actually tell me?” Chris looked at Leon.
Leon looked back. “I did.”
Chris raised his eyebrow. “Really?”
“Yes, while you were still high from the pain killers. I told you I was gonna spoil them for surviving and for you coming home safe.” Leon went to Chris and kissed his cheek and wrapped his arms around his husband’s neck
“And what did I actually say while I was high?” Chris said as he grabbed Leon’s ass then wrapped it around Leon’s waist again.
“You said three days ago and I quote Baby, why won’t you let me hug you? Let me hug you? You know what, sure, okay and I approve, just please let me hug you.”
Chris' face showed betrayal as it turned completely red from embarrassment. “Did… did I actually say that? Did-”
“No you did not say that in front of everyone, but you did say it in front of Jill, Carlos, Rebecca, and Sherry. Claire may have also heard it since I was calling her when you woke up. They wanted to see you awake but Rebecca suggested to dose up your pain medication a bit more so you won’t accidentally turn on your back. She was kinda right because the moment you woke up and saw me, you wanted to hug me, which was kinda sweet but your injuries were still kinda fresh.”
Chris groaned, “That’s basically everyone Lee.” Chris sighs and kisses Leon on his forehead before resting his head on Leon’s shoulder. “Knowing Jill and Carlos, they now have blackmail material Baby– wait a damn minute, so does this mean the injured, which is me by the way, is stuck at the house recovering while the rest got to be spoiled?”
Leon shrugged, “Pretty much.”
“Baby this seems kinda unfair, what about me?” Chris tightened his hold around Leon’s waist, “Where is my reward, you know.. from not dying?”
Leon smiled and cupped both of Chris' cheeks. “I would like to remind the Alpha that the reason he is still alive is because of our children and his Wolves.” Leon got out of Chris’ arms. “So Alpha, better behave and recover while I reward the pups.” He then continued in cleaning the kitchen.
Chris groaned and decided not to fight it, knowing Leon. He will probably use his personal account and not their joint ones. As he went upstairs Sherry came down, Chris saw what she was wearing and chuckled. “Princess, you look like you’re going to attend dinner with the President.”
“Wow Papa, I didn’t know you could read minds. This is actually what I wore when the President invited Dad and I for dinner.” Sherry twirled carefully on the steps of the stairs. Chris was shocked, when did the President invite his husband and daughter to dinner. Now that Chris thought about it, which President was it–
“Chris move your big ass, I need to get ready.” Leon said below the stairs. Chris got distracted from his thoughts and went to the side, Leon saw what Sherry was wearing and smiled. “You look beautiful Sherr, while your brother looks like a hobo.”
“I am not a hobo, this is what is called comfortable fashionable wear for going outside,” Piers yelled from the living room. All of them chuckled, Chris looked at Leon and held his hands out. “Well come on, I’ll behave and recover and you need to change.” Leon took his hand and smiled, went to Sherry and kissed her forehead. Sherry giggled and went downstairs, as they went upstairs they heard Sherry’s comment about Piers really looking like a homeless man and then heard Piers defending his comfortable fashion style.
The moment their bedroom door closed, Leon was picked up and held against the wall as Chris' mouth devoured his neck, “Chr- aaahh.. Chris no hickeys!”
Leon instinctively wrapped his legs around his husband for support while Chris kept licking and kissing his neck. Chris shoved his waist letting Leon feel his hard cock. “Baby, when will I get to make love to you?”
“A few more days Alpha, I swear you can have me just wait a few more days.” Leon moaned as Chris grip both of his thighs and opened his legs more. Leon loves it when Chris manhandles him, he also knows calling Chris ‘Alpha’ drives him insane.
Chris thrusted his waist again this time targeting Leon’s hardening cock. “Okay…. Fuck… okay…. A few more days..” Chris kissed Leon on the mouth, forcing his tongue inside Leon’s.
A thrust, “Then you better”
Another thrust, “be ready”
Another stronger thrust, “my beautiful Omega.”
Leon could do nothing but moan in pleasure and feel Chris’ lust. He tries to be quieter because he did not want to be caught by their children again, but hearing Chris call him his Omega, Leon could not help but thrust back. Leon was about to kiss Chris again when a message distracted him and Leon remembered, he really should get ready already. Looking at their bedside clock it was already nine fifteen in the morning.
Leon sighs, “Chris let go please. I really don’t want to be scolded by our kids.”
Chris just chuckled but he let Leon down and kissed him again quickly on the lips. “Go get change.” He slapped Leon’s ass as he hurried to the bathroom to get clean. Leon glared back.
Fifteen minutes later, Leon walks out from the bathroom to see his husband on their balcony. Chris has his back to him and is smoking his favorite Marlboro Double Ice, he went to their walk-in closet that also doubles as a mini armory with weapons hidden below the floorboards. He dressed quickly since they were running a bit late already, when he was done Chris was still on their balcony but is now sitting down in one of their chairs. He walks to him and when Chris sees him, he quickly puts down his cigarette and extinguishes it since he knows Leon does not smoke and Chris knows that second-hand smoke is more dangerous. Leon straddled Chris lap and his arms instinctively wrapped around Chris’ neck as Chris’ arms also wrapped automatically around Leon’s waist supporting him since Leon has a bad habit of leaning away and almost falling out of Chris lap.
Leon kissed Chris on the forehead, “You know there are ingredients in the fridge, which happens to be all that you need to make all our favorite dishes.”
“Oh, so now I need to cook? I thought I needed to rest?” Chris nuzzled Leon’s neck. “Lunch or dinner?”
“Dinner, the kids and I are having lunch together, maybe even with the squad if they want.”
“Sure thing Baby, by the way..” Chris looks at Leon with a concerned face. “You’re not buying Sherry another designer bag right? And Piers also has like fifteen games he hasn’t even played?”
Leon guffawed, “Really Chris? Who knew you would be this kind of parent, we can afford it.”
“Baby, it’s not about that. Sherry has ten bags and has only used three of them and Piers has like ten games in his room and another five at the living room which by the way I am pretty sure he hasn’t played yet because the plastic covers are still intact!”
“Oh… the Captain in you is crying right now about wasted resources.” Leon just smirked. “Okay, I’ll tell them.” They shared a quick kiss before Leon stood up. “See you later and can’t wait for dinner.”
A few minutes later Chris hears Leon’s Porsche drive away. Chris tries not to lean back to aggravate his injuries.
~~~~~~~~~~Bonds~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly ten thirty they arrived at Kendo’s and the wolves were already inside having a ruckus. “They’re here! Thank God!” Robert Kendo yelled as he saw Leon, Sherry, and Piers enter his shop. “Leon, would you kindly tell your unruly pups to not touch everything in my shop! They might know how to handle all of them but etiquette should still be exercise.”
Leon flinched and observed the ongoing ruckus happening. Umber Eyes a.k.a. Rolando Elba was inspecting newly commissioned bullets for a new release high-powered sniper muttering to himself. A clearly new box opened on the counter. Night Howl a.k.a. Dion Wilson the medic of the team was touching a new double dose injector clearly from a new box since he was reading the manual on a vacant seat for customers; the med injectors were taking up another seat, loudly talking about the new features of this med injector and how he could improve this more. Canine a.k.a. Charlie Graham opened Kendo’s display case for high-powered precision scopes and whistled saying how this will make his recon missions a lot easier when there’s storms. Lobo a.k.a. John Perlman their weapons expert was thankfully just has five open journals about all the available guns at the shop and the reviews it has on the counter clearly taking way too much space and is writing something on his notebook. Tundra a.k.a. Emily Berkhoff was helping John by pointing things at the journals and giving her personal opinion on them, John then proceeds to take notes. If that’s not enough Piers and Sherry immediately went to the corner where the Samurai Edges are being displayed, and Piers taking one out; each Samurai Edge being unique and both talked about how they were finally getting something similar to their Papa.
Leon went to Kendo, “Sorry about this but hey good thing I asked you to close shop today so we won’t scare your customers.” Leon really hopes the amount he was about to spend will convince Kendo not to ban them permanently.
Kendo did not look convinced, the wolves didn’t even notice them even though Kendo yelled, everyone was too absorbed in the things they were doing. Kendo just sighed and clapped his hands twice like a dad trying to get his children's attention. “AHEM!!! JAR HEADS! Your mom is here better behave or you won’t get any candy!!!”
Leon groaned as everyone tried to process what Kendo just said before bouts of laughter replaced the chaos.
“Omega sir!” Rolando was the first one to greet him.
“Mom?” John looked at Emily. “When did we change Leon’s call sign to Mom? Isn’t that a bit confusing?”
Emily rubbed her head with her hand, “No you idiot. Mr. Kendo teased us because Leon acts like a Mom to us.”
Dion nodded, “Well it's kinda true, he buys us stuff, makes sure we are fed if he’s there, and even trains with us even though he’s DSO and we all know that means he usually has a busy schedule, so that also means he actually makes time for us.” He puts the med injectors back in the box and placed them on the counter and with a shit eating grin he looked at Leon. “So… nice to see you again mom!”
“Hey!” Sherry huffed, he dragged Piers back to where Leon is and pointed a finger at Kendo. “He’s not their mom! If Leon was anyone's mom, he'd be our mom, me and Piers, right little bro?”
Piers looked horrified. “Sherr! You swore not to call me that in front of the squad!”
“Oh come on Piers, you'll always be the little brother, you're the youngest out of all of us.” Emily scoffed. “No need to be defensive about being the youngest.”
“Yeah Piers, you even have Leon as your mom!” Rolando tried to hide his laugh; he failed. “We’re jealous!”
Charlie and John grabbed Piers from Sherry and both nudged Piers' head with their hands. “We want Leon as our mom too!”
Piers was red as a tomato and was about to tackle Charlie and John to the ground, decorum be damned when a loud whistle drew their attention.
Everyone turned to see Leon with the most disappointed face to ever grace his beautiful face, “You know, I hate bad puppies especially when they’re being a menace to a good man who closed their shop to cater to us.” He pointed at Kendo, who has both hands covering his face.
Everyone immediately behaved and returned all the things they touched to where they originally belonged. Piers and Sherry hurried back to Leon who gave them his warning glare to behave or else, they both gulped and went behind Leon and the Wolves formed a line, like soldiers waiting to be called.
Leon turned to Kendo, “I am so sorry.”
Kendo lowered both his hands and sighed, he looked at all of them. “When Jill convinced me to live for my daughter I really didn't know what to do. Seeing all of you fight those monsters and still be this lively? I’m actually glad.” He raised his hands. “But as a business owner, you really should thank your mom because he’s a VIP customer because I would have banned all of you from my shop!”
Everyone muttered a weak sorry but Rolando stepped forward from the line. “Again sorry Mr. Kendo, we got a bit too excited to get new weapons.”
“All is forgiven Rolando.” Kendo clapped his hands again. “Okay so what do we need?”
This time Leon took charge so that Kendo could cater to all the requests of each member of the squad. An hour later, the Hound Wolf Squad got their new gears and a little treat from their Omega or Mom as Dion kept insisting with a shit eating grin. Leon decided Dion should be running 100 laps around the BSAA base and not the training field. Leon offered they should have lunch together but the squad wanted to rest and inspect all the new gears they got. All of them were giddy, Leon prays they don’t destroy the training area or Chris’ will definitely blame it all on him.
The only thing left was to order Sherry’s and Piers customize Samurai Edge just like their Papa, both took their time picking out what perks they want but the design has to be the same as their Papa. Leon just chuckled, he can already imagine Chris’ face when he finds out about this. He would definitely try to lessen it but Leon knew this would make Chris’ cry.
When Edonia and China happened, Chris needed support more than ever, same as Leon, they both knew without Sherry and Piers, both would not get their shit together and be functional adults. These kids may not believe it but Chris and Leon owe them a lot, besides Leon swore to himself to make Piers and Sherry have the childhood that was stolen from them. Sherry from Raccoon City and Piers from the fallout that happened in Raccoon City.
When Chris confessed his love for Leon a year after China, he told Leon it was Piers that kicked his ass for being a fucking coward which made Leon laughed since it was also Sherry that told Leon not to be a stubborn man and be happy and enjoy that big dick.
Leon shook his head, he looked at Piers, Sherry and Kendo, he then looked at his wrist watch. It’s almost one in the afternoon already. He should pay Kendo a bit more. He opened his phone and tried to search for restaurants near them.
Meanwhile both Sherry and Piers look at their Dad and find him busy looking at his phone, they both nodded to each other and whispered at Kendo. Sherry covered her mouth like she was just deciding on something. “Sir, I need you to talk quietly since this needs to be kept from Dad but Papa asked us while we were going here, if this commission can be done?”
Piers opened his phone and opened a file, he showed Kendo an image of a gun. Kendo smiled seeing the gun and specifications written, he nodded to both. “This can be done, but I have no timeframe for it yet.”
Piers smiled, “No problem sir, Papa told us that you can take as long as you want as long as the gun can be made.” Kendo nodded and smiled as confirmation.
Piers sends the files to Mr. Kendo work email, he then looks at Sherry signaling to alert their Dad that they’re done.
Leon looks at Sherry and then at Piers, “Okay then, both of you go outside, Mr. Kendo and I need to discuss some things.”
Sherry and Piers gave him side eyes, like they know their Dad is up to something. Leon looks at them back while raising his brows. “Go.”
Leon looked back at Kendo as Sherry and Piers exited the store. “So what’s the damage?”
Kendo laughed, “Jesus Christ, if Chris knew about this he is going to have a stroke Leon.”
“Well, it’s a good thing my husband doesn’t know and that I am paying this from my account.” Leon took out his checkbook. “Just tell me, I’m hungry and I know for sure that kids are now gonna feel hungry too now that they got what they want.”
Kendo added all the purchases and even gave a discount, he gave Leon the most greedy smile he has, “Mr. Redfield the total comes to six hundred seventy nine thousand and five hundred dollars.”
Leon flinched, he cannot let Chris find out about this. Chris was going to punish him for this for sure and Leon prays it’s a punishment he actually liked. Leon wrote down the amount, signed it and gave it to Kendo.

They ate in a restaurant inside a Mall at the center of Washington DC, since Leon promised his kids that aside from the guns, he would buy them anything they wanted. They ate at Taco Bell and decided that Leon and Sherry would shop together while Piers would look around since he has still not decided on what to actually buy yet.
Leon kinda knew Sherry would end up either in Dior or Chanel and as of now they’re in Dior. Leon and Sherry were escorted and given a seat and before the saleslady could assume that he was the one doing the shopping, he pointed at Sherry. “Sorry Miss, but my daughter is doing the shopping while I just sit here and wait. Sadly, I have no taste in fashion.” The saleslady giggled and went to Sherry who was already picking outfits rather than bags, Leon raised his brows.
In just an hour, Sherry had 5 new outfits and they were done, though the saleslady kind of didn’t like how Leon would just give a thumbs up if he likes it and a thumbs down if he didn’t. Sherry had to defend Leon, that is just how his Dad does it. As they exited the store Leon got a call from Piers for them to come to the Tech Section of the mall.
Leon saw Piers talking to the attendant of a Gaming Store and pointing to a black box, beside him Sherry groaned. “Dad, he’s picking another console again, that’s an X-Box.” They waited for Piers to look for them since he seemed to be invested in the conversation he was having with the attendant, as they were talking Piers was pointing from one game to another which the attendant then got and put in the counter. Leon counted ten video game cases so he decided to go there to physically stop Piers from pointing to another game, remembering Chris’s comment.
“Okay that’s enough Piers, can you even finish playing all these games?” Leon went beside Piers as he picked one of the games. “Why don’t we buy you new outfits too. They don’t have to be all games.”
“Hey Dad! Hmm, maybe a bit?” Piers looks at Sherry. “Wow Sherr, did you rob Dior?”
Sherry stuck out her tongue at Piers. "At least, I can tell Papa that I can actually use these outfits.”
Piers looked back at his haul, “So I’ll just take the X-Box and these five games.” The Game Store attendant smiled, still happy since it was still pretty expensive. Leon paid and Sherry decided she knew where exactly to get new outfits for Piers.
They spent the next few hours, buying two new outfits for Piers and a long black tactical jacket with fur lapels that they all decided that suited Chris. They walked around a bit, ate some snacks before they decided to go home since it was already nearing dinner and Chris was waiting for them with their favorite foods.

Chris being a good husband that he was did rest for an entirety of three hours before he decided that he was bored, he wore one of his largest sweater, went to his office and opened his laptop to do some digging and researching a rumor of an Eveline Project in Louisiana, this was the latest information Canine and Tundra were able to recover from the recon mission. He got lost in his work before he got distracted with an alarm reminding him to prepare for dinner.
Chris looked at his phone, it was already four in the afternoon. “Shit!” He closed his laptop and hurriedly went to the kitchen praying he didn't need to defrost meat. He saw the steaks already at the bottom of the shelf. “Thank god! Piers, you are a life saver.” Piers was the only one in their family aside from him that actually cooks. Sherry sadly inherited Leon’s lack of passion for cooking. She can make a mean meal but she says it takes too much effort and time. She has more important things to do. It seems all government agents don't know how to take care of themselves.
Steak and mashed potatoes for Piers, whole roast stuffed chicken for Leon and creamy garlic parmesan chicken pasta for Sherry and as for him, he’ll make steak and roast chicken too. He looks at the clock in the kitchen, he should make it in time.
By seven in the evening a familiar engine was heard as Leon’s Porsche entered their garage and Chris sighed as he was finally done cooking all the meals, he was not done plating them though. Sherry opened the garage door, “Papa! We are back and we are hungry! That smells so good!” She went to the kitchen and Chris saw all the bags she was carrying and put them down in the living room.
“Princess please tell me those are not designer bags?” She went to Chris and kissed his cheek, “No they aren’t Papa, their clothes but Piers bought another console!” As she went behind Chris to hide.
“Hey no tattletale!” Piers shouted as he walked towards the living room beside the kitchen, glaring at Sherry, while he balanced the console in one arm and a few bags on the other arm. “Papa, for your information Dad did make me buy new clothes!”
“Clothes that took you forever to pick!”
“I didn’t know each of the clothes had a rule when to wear them Sherr!” He stuck out his tongue at Sherry.
“We’re the same age bracket Piers, I can excuse Papa and Dad for having no fashion taste but you should have a little.”
“Well my taste is more on guns and not clothes.”
Chris smiled fondly, he missed this. The constant missions were necessary to stop these greedy corporations but sometimes he forgets that this was the reason they were fighting, so they could have more days like this as a family, peaceful, a little bit chaotic but happy.
Leon was the last one to enter and saw the two arguing with Chris in the middle between Sherry and Piers. Chris coughed, “Okay, that’s enough you two. Go upstairs and put all your bags in your rooms. I just need to plate the food and we can have dinner.”
Piers went upstairs first and then followed by Sherry. Leon went to Chris, who opened his arms to welcome Leon and give him a quick kiss on the lips. Chris nuzzled Leon’s neck and nipped his neck. “So Baby, may I know the damage?”
“No way!” Leon laughed and just kissed Chris again, harder this time. “You’ll get angry and lecture me about resource management.”
“Ah, I’m guessing this means a punishment is in order for you Baby.” Chris smirked as he tightened his arms around Leon’s waist.
“Ugh, can the punishment wait until we get some alone time away from the kids.” They kissed again, lost in their little world.
At the entrance of the kitchen, Sherry and Piers see their parents kissing. Sherry sighs, “Should we let them kiss a bit more?”
Piers groaned, “No Sherr, you don’t want to be traumatized like I was this morning!”
Sherry and Piers looked at each other and both yelled at the same time. “We’re hungry!”
This made Leon chuckle and Chris groan, Leon was again a bit red from being caught by the kids but Chris was just frustrated, he can’t wait until he gets Leon all alone.
Chris and Leon both plated the meals while Sherry and Piers prepared the table, putting utensils and glasses. They all sat down and ate together while talking about what happened today to Chris and all the shenanigans the Wolves did at Kendo’s.
Chris looks at Sherry and Piers happily talking about something and he looks at Leon who was smiling softly, sometimes chiming in to give his opinion, to anyone that smile may seem fake and sad but to Chris, that smile is the smile Leon would give when he is at peace and happy. That soft sweet smile was worth all the hardships and sacrifices he has done. He would kill for that smile, to keep that smile and to make sure that smile doesn’t disappear. Chris would do anything.
