The silence in the air was stifling as the two men look at each other in the eyes. Leon had many things to ask, to say but he didn't know where to start. How could he? He saw his lover died right in front of him. Impaled even with lots blood coming out of his chest and eventually fell off the roof with Simmons. But how was Ren still alive? Was his mind playing tricks on him? Was Leon seeing a ghost but Ren appeared to be very real. He even said his name.

Leon: You're alive. You're....

He was speechless. A single tear fell from his eyes and onto his cheek as he slowly took steps closer to Ren. Leon needed to touch him. To feel that he was there and not some illusion that were playing tricks on him. When he kept getting closer, Ren had the sudden urge to step back when he put the book down on the table. With how he was and his abilities, he feared that Leon wouldn't accept him for what he has now become but he fought to stay in his place even if he was feeling nervous. He wanted to feel Leon's touch again. He yearned for it.

Once Leon got close enough, he reached out with his right hand and slowly touched Ren's warm cheek. Everything was real. Ren closed his eyes and leaned into his hand. Without a second thought, Leon pulled him in a tight hug. The tears he were holding back were now flowing freely. Ren heard his soft sob and couldn't help but cry as well. He was finally in the arms of the one he loves so much. He grabbed onto the front of Leon's black unzipped leather jacket tightly while resting his head on his shoulder. The familiar smell of his cologne was everything.

They both didn't want to let go. If Leon did, he feared that Ren would disappear forever and never come back to him. He moved away slightly but still kept his hold to look at his lovers face. The way Ren looked up at him with so much love made him melt inside. He couldn't resist any longer and kissed him. The second their lips touched, fireworks erupted inside of them. The feeling was so perfect. They kissed sweet and passionately, enjoying every moment of it. They didn't care if anyone walked in on them. Everyone knew they were together since they were the talk around the organization and are highly respected agents.

The kiss stopped after a short while and they moved back an inch. They stayed in that position with their eyes still closed. The two enjoyed the silence while Leon slowly let his right hand slid it's way down Ren's back and onto his waist. The feeling made a shiver go up Ren's spine. He always love when Leon be very gentle with him.

Ren: Leon...

He whispered. He didn't want to move away but with Dr. Evan's people coming after him, time was up the essence and he needed a place where he could lay low. Ren started to pull away but Leon still held a tight grip.

Leon: No... Please just.. just stay for one more minute... Please...

He begged with a weak voice. The two opened their eyes to stare at one another. Ren couldn't say no to him especially with the way how Leon was feeling. Now that he had a closer look, he could see how tired Leon was. His walls were breaking down ever so slowly. Ren released his grip from the leather jacket and wrap his arms around Leon's neck. The two spent as much time hugging each other until they were interrupted making them back away while wiping their face to see Hunnigan who had a smile on her face.

Hunnigan: Sorry to interrupt but they are already on their way.

Ren sighed while Leon tilt his head in confusion. He wondered who they were.

Hunnigan: I already have a cabin set up where no one can find it so all you, Ren need to do is follow my instructions and go up there while I'll handle the rest.

Ren: Are you sure about this because I can-

Hunnigan: Oh I'm sure. It's my mess. You can take Leon with you.
