Resident Evil Headcanons

pet names

Pairings; Leon x reader, Ada x reader, Wesker x reader, Piers x reader (separate)
Gender Neutral! I call Leon a little shit in his part but I think that's the only swear word
Note; for Leon, Ada, and Wesker I'm going off of the original games from 1996 & 1998, because I personally don't like the personality changes they made for the remakes, so this may be a little different from other works.

Leon -
(pre RE4) Baby Leon is just really sweet idk man he uses a lot of "babe", "baby", maybe even "sweetie" or "honey".
(post RE4) I feel like he'd call his S/O a bunch of sickeningly sweet nicknames just to mock all the cliche movie stuff that everyone talks about, but when he's calm and relaxed he uses softer ones like "love", or "baby". Would 100% call his S/O "beloved" unironically.
(post RE6) Little shit used "your highness" in a teasing way so much that it became his go-to pet name, even if his S/O hates it. In fact, he'd use it MORE if his S/O hates it, unless they told him seriously to stop.

Ada -
(pre RE4) I honestly can't think of any pet names baby Ada would use? Maybe "darling"? She's pretty emotionally distant in RE2 so I don't see her using anything other than her S/O's name.
(post RE4) She'd probably still use "darling", but maybe "dove" or "honey" too. Honestly she's more likely to make up a pet name based on her S/O's actual name or an inside joke.
(post RE6) 100% uses "sweetie" and "honey" because at this point she's more in touch with her feelings and if she wants to be cute with her S/O she's gonna be cute with her S/O. She may even throw in a "darling" or "dear" to catch them off guard.

Wesker -
(pre RE5) Jumping on the "Wesker calls his S/O dearheart" bandwagon, all my bags are packed, I'm fully ready to accept that as canon at this point. Literally only calls them by their actual name when he's pulling the "I'm not mad, just disappointed" face.
(post RE5) In this household, we say no thanks bro to the ending of RE5. He's living with his S/O, still calling them "dearheart", but now that he's not destroying the world anymore he's calling them other soft things, like "my beloved" and "little dove".

Piers -
(pre RE6) Dog boy arf arf he calls his S/O such sweet things, pretty much every pet name under the sun, but his favourites are "baby", "sweetheart", and "hon". He does also come up with his own sweet little pet names for his S/O, like ones based off of their name or inside jokes, but he never uses them in public because to him they're more intimate and soft.
(post RE6) He can't call them anything if he's dead, so lets ignore Chris' chapter 5. Literally nothing changes he calls them the same pet names as he did before, just now he's saying them with his face buried in their neck because he doesn't want them to disappear like his teammates (thanks Chris).
