Summary: Leon and Claire get into a heated argument and it's up to Leon to make it up to her!

Status of their relationship in this one shot: Dating.

Time seems to be passing by awfully fast. Anytime Leon's eyes glance at his watch, it feels like it's been minutes, even hours, and yet, it's just been ten minutes. The atmosphere feels heavy. Leon feels awkward and upset, disappointed in himself too. He just wants this awful feeling to pass by so he can just feel himself again.

Claire might feel the same way. She's at the opposite end of the couch, arms crossed and her resting face appearing sad. He feels guilty. He wants to scooch down to her and hold her. He shouldn't have raised his voice that way, it was unnecessary and mean. She was just pushing and pushing him and it came out of no where. Leon despises arguments and shouting, so this is his worst nightmare.

The television playing in the background is the only noise to cancel out the silence. It was playing even during their argument. It's some stupid true crime show. Leon wishes he could shut it off and never hear it again. He glanced over at Claire, but she didn't even bother taking a peep at him. Anytime she becomes upset, she'll ignore him. And ignore him. And continue it until he gives in. Such a stubborn girl.

In this case, Leon gets it. He is definitely in the wrong. At least he can take accountability. Had Claire ended up with anyone else and they would've never realized their mistakes. Leon is glad he's able to.

Leon looked over at Claire once more and as he did, she stood up and sighed deeply before treading towards what Leon assumes is their bedroom. His assumption is proven correct when he heard the loud slam of their door. Was that really necessary? Absolutely not, but she's a mad girl. "Fuck sakes." Leon groaned under his breath as he rubbed the bridge of his pointy nose. He doesn't like this. He just wants to burst into their room and coddle her. But he has a better idea.

His eyes trailed towards his car keys. They're hung up near the entrance. One way to Claire's heart is food. Leon even recalls how earlier Claire was craving fast food since they never indulge in it. They have to maintain a decent diet considering what their jobs are. For this occasion however, Leon doesn't mind one bit making an exception. Her favorite spot is Wendy's, maybe he'll drive there and get her a meal and he can present it to her with kisses and hugs.

That should do the trick!

Standing up, Leon quietly jogged to the front door and threw his leather jacket on. He could hear the shower turn on from their shared bathroom, she'll be in there for a good bit he bets. He snagged his key off of their holder and stealthily opened the white front door and hushly closed it behind it. He'll be back in five minutes or less. They love directly out of town and the Wendy's spot is just a couple roads away. He knows exactly what to order for her.

They have separate cars. Leon has a 2016 black BMW whereas Claire has a 2014 white Audi. He loves his car. Eventually he'll upgrade but this bad boy has been his baby for awhile.

Leon clicked the unlock button on his keys. The faint beeping sound was heard and his headlights flashed. He opened the door and got in. He buckled in with haste and turned the car on ASAP. He's really lucky that this car isn't too loud. It's not that he doesn't want to be 'caught' but he wants this to be a surprise, it'll have more effect that way. He loves Claire, dearly, she deserves a treat after tonight.

Pulling out of the rugged driveway, Leon sighed softly as he hit the road. Just from where he was, he could see other cars bustling in and out of town. He lives near a cross road. One leads into town, one leads out of it and another leads into an entirely different city. He rarely goes to the other town, the one closer is much more convenient and big. Leon thinks he'll older a meal for himself too. He hopes this is what will win Claire over.
