    Summary

    Leon nearly loses his nerve, rotary phone cradled against his cheek in a self soothing motion as it rings. He knows Claire, and he trusts Claire, and mortifyingly, he fucking wants her. He wants her to get all soft and soothing, the way she does for spooked disaster survivors while out for Terrasave. He wants her to compare and contrast who he is, before Spain, and then after Spain. To admit that the mission thoroughly broke him open and mangled him up inside. It’s pathetic.

    “Hello?” Fuck. Leon clears his throat.

    “It’s Leon,” he starts, and instantly loses his nerve. He doesn’t have the strength to burst into tears, brickwalling incoming. “Hey, are you busy right now? I was hoping I could ask you for a favor. And I’d like to catch up. If that’s okay.”

    Or: Leon comes home from his assignment in Spain with a newfound drinking problem, a post traumatic stress disorder diagnosis, a suicide attempt, and, most importantly, his heart ripped out of his chest entirely.
    Without any immediate or extended family to lick his wounds, he becomes an honorary Redfield.
