Intertwine (RE4: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Leon POV] [Book#1] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Nine: Secrets

Just a little side note.

Sorry the lack of gifs 😔 it's hard to find some with Wattpad standards are.

-------------------

(Y/n) closes the wooden door behind us hearing a click of the lock shut. Crossing that makeshift bridge wasn't too difficult. She made it across easily but took a minute in between for her to build some courage. As we continue she's dazed, she's in heard possibly talking to herself. If I were to stop walking she'd probably continue on without me.

Walking on, I see an open area with wooden huts and a large door. Animal like growls sounded near by, could be some kind of den. Wouldn't want to stick around like..

A flock of crows rest stationed on the ground searching for their next meal. Continuing moving my boots left and right, the crows take flight flapping their wings to escape my presence. Their cawing surrounds the two of us feeling their wings against my arms as they try to fly away. I stay still waiting as (Y/n) screams through the tornado the crows are causing, she takes a few steps back and stumbles falling on her behind. The cawing stops as the crows have all left leaving behind some black feathers. I step towards her seeing fright painted on her face. Her chests expands quickly trying to catch her breaths, her eyes looked up at me.

Is she afraid of birds?

She purses her lips and furrows her brows in an embarrassment sort of way.

I extend my hand out for her to take, she places her small hand in my palm and I hoist her up back on her feet.

(Leon)-"That's two. Looks like I'm keeping your secrets." She doesn't say anything.

(Leon)-"Anymore or will I find them out eventually?" She retrieves her hand back and dusts herself off.

(Y/n)-" My cousin threw a bunch of bird seeds at me when I was little. Probably can guess what happened after."

Attack of the birds.

(Leon)-"Sorry to hear that." She lets out a light chuckle.

(Y/n)-"I got him back though. Put food coloring his shampoo bottle."

Fighting fire with fire.

(Leon)-"What was the aftermath?" 

(Y/n)-" Grounded for two weeks. I still have the Christmas cards."

I'd want to see that just for a laugh.

(Y/n)-" I'm also afraid of bugs. Anything with wings, more than two legs and big eyes. I freeze up." Pretty standard fears she has.

(Leon)-"Mosquitos might be your enemy around here." I say continuing to walk.

(Y/n)-"Do you have any fears?" She asks as she rushes to walk by my side.

That's a question that never has gotten asked. Everyone just assumes I'm emotionless and head through my missions straight out without a worry. I must be a pretty damn good actor. 

(Leon)-" I wouldn't be human without any."

(Y/n)-"What are they? If you don't mind me asking.."

Innocent lives being taken.

Losing friends.

Betrayal.

Death...maybe..

There's much more.

I don't know where to begin with a loaded question like that.
