Too Much, Too Fast| Request

AN: This request does have a lot of triggering topics such as SA and toxic relationships (not from Leon). Please take caution when reading, and remember that it's absolutely not okay for anyone to touch you sexually without your consent. If you've experienced this, please remember that you're not alone. Opening up to someone you can trust is so important, bottling things up and keeping them to yourself may feel like the best option, but trust me, in the long run the feelings and trauma will catch up to you.

This imagine does have a happy ending, and no matter which version of Leon you picture, I've written it so he's a cop to guide the plot in a good direction. Also, this does have a happy ending ♡

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

I check my phone again just in case Isobel, my supposedly best friend, has changed her mind or has come to her senses after our heated argument yesterday. It couldn't have come at a worse time, since she was supposed to be coming with me to tonight's concert where I'd finally be meeting up with the guy I've been speaking to for a couple months now. Isobel's been nothing but supportive with my newfound dating life, and even gave me the suggestion to meet up with Glenn- the guy I've been talking to- however yesterday she suddenly had a change of heart, telling me how she'd watched a documentary the same afternoon about a girl who'd been abducted after meeting a guy online, and how it'd scared her. Isobel wanted me to call off my date, but I insisted that it'd be fine, especially if she was there with me. In the end I let my words get the better of me, I said some hurtful things and chose to trust a stranger over my best friend. I know I've done wrong, and have tried to apologise to her, but Isobel's chosen to ignore me now. It's fair enough, I get her point, and really I should just bail on my date, but then I know I'd feel guilty and maybe regret it. 

I blow out a breath as I finish preparing for my date. It's only a concert at a local-ish venue, so it's nothing too crazy, and should help to break the ice if Glenn turns out to be shyer in real life compared to his charismatic confidence online. I check my dress in the mirror, feeling confident in my looks before grabbing my purse and heading out of the door. I choose to drive to the venue just in case Glenn happens to be the ghost in our blossoming relationship. When I arrive, I immediately see the handsome man waiting outside the venue just like we arranged, he looks just like his photos which already gives me some relief. I wave my hand up, doing an awkward greeting as I dash across the car park, with Glen meeting me halfway.

I smile, ready to open my mouth and say hello, but instead Glenn reaches out and pulls me to his chest, holding me in an overly familiar hug. My eyes bulge at the instant physical contact, but then I brush it off as I assume he's just affectionate and kind. When I finally pull myself away from Glen, he speaks.

"I'm so glad you're just as pretty as your photos," he chuckles as my kind freezes, "I've been looking forward to our date for weeks now." He adds, seeing I'm shocked by his words. The hidden compliment is enough to warm me though, after so long of being single and not receiving any kind of attention, I hate to admit that I can swipe away the awkwardness in replacement of feeling pretty easily. I hum in agreement as Glen wraps his arm around my shoulders, guiding me into the venue without any hesitation. I swallow back the initial weird feelings and let myself enjoy the date as it is. He's supposed to be touching me, right? That's what couples do.

After scanning our tickets the concert soon begins. Glenn and I find a good spot to enjoy the music whilst still being able to chat to each other. To begin with it's casual conversation and general getting to know each other, but when Glenn begins asking more personal and intimate questions I know that things are getting a little too serious for my liking. Without wanting to hurt his feelings or be blunt, I try to direct our chat back to something more light-hearted, but somehow with everything I say, Glen seems to take it back to talks of intimate matters. I don't try to hide my unease anymore as I say "Can we not talk about this, please? I'd really just like to keep things gentle for now." I smile as Glen's brows knit together, for a second he looks offended until a big grin tilts his lips up. I know it's forced, but regardless I see it as a minor blip that we'll smooth over as our date passes. We listen to the music, with Glenn trying to dance with me, I indulge him a little, keeping it kind of cheesy and silly until his hands begin to roam my hips, then my ass. I bolt away, eyes widening as he winks at me.
