A New Obsession

On a Date

Leon Kennedy. What a name. What a unique man. What could possess a man like that to show any kind of interest in Danny? What could posses a man like that to resist Danny? Perhaps he already knew Danny was guilty of the local murders, and he was just going to seduce a confession out of him? Honestly, Danny almost considered it. Part of him wanted to just give Leon whatever he wanted. The man just had the attractive force of a black hole, and Danny was almost, almost willing to drive right into it. But alas, he wouldn't be able to see any more of Leon if he was in prison. So lie he would.

Danny walked casually around the neighborhood as he waited for the clock to tick onwards. He stopped by his apartment and grabbed an umbrella, for Leon's sake more than his own. He would be a terrible date if he allowed him to get soaked in the likely returning rain.

Despite the relatively early hour, the sky was darkening quickly, and lightning flashed on the horizon. Tonight should be even heavier rain than yesterday, with lightning and thunder booming late into the night. He did not feel like walking through that. Hell, maybe Leon could give him a ride back to his place in that fancy car of his. It's not like he had any reason to hide his location of residence from him, since Leon could easily hunt him down if he had any reason to.

Danny quickly snapped himself to the present again when he reentered the station and saw Leon sitting at a table with the end of a pen in his mouth. He approached him smoothly and slid into a chair next to him, leaning forward and extending his arm to rest an elbow over the documents Leon was trying to examine.

"Dinner time~" he purred at the impatient face before him.

"In a minute," Leon replied shortly and pushed Danny's elbow off of the table.

Danny just sat back and crossed his arms, watching Leon work. His fingers were drumming against his knee when he wasn't using both of his hands. He scribbled something onto the page in his hand, not paying Danny any more attention. "We had an agreement, you know," Danny tried again, straightening his posture.

"I said in a minute. I'm in the middle of something..." Leon muttered, stacking a few pages together and securing them with a paperclip.

Danny sighed and set a timer on his phone for one minute, placing it on the table next to Leon with a smirk. Leon raised an eyebrow but didn't look up from his task. He continued shuffling and scribbling on the pages for a while then stopped and stretched. He turned to Danny again right as the timer went off. "I told you, a minute."

Danny laughed and silenced his phone. "I'm sure that's just because you had my timer there to help you pace yourself."

Leon stood and grabbed his jacket from the back of his chair. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

Danny rose from his seat with him, smiling easily. "Oh there are a lot of things you could do to help me sleep at night, but it'll take more than one dinner to get those privileges."

Leon paused in his motions to raise an eyebrow at Danny again. "So I take it this isn't just an interview then?"

Danny laughed and looped his arm through Leon's, leading him from the station without responding. He brought him to a small, family owned Greek place a few streets over. They sat themselves, and soon Danny had an order of falafel on the way for starters. He leaned back in his chair and looked over Leon after they ordered their drinks. "So how is the investigation coming along, then?"

Leon didn't look up from the menu to respond. "It's fine I guess. Just a murder. Not anyone super important or anything, just a random grocery store clerk."

"But what about the other ones? Isn't this like the tenth?" Danny exaggerated, pretending to be curious.

Leon chuckled slightly and rested his eyes on Danny at last. "There are only three that are officially linked together on this case. Unless you know something I don't?"
