Your hand gripped tightly onto the blade part of your knife, your glove protecting you from getting cut. But you knew your blade was sharp, one wrong move and it could lead to a serious wound.
You bashed your head back into his, a bit of pain erupting in your head after that sudden action. It seemed to do the trick, catching Leon off guard. His grip loosened slightly around your waist, giving you the perfect opportunity you were seeking. You elbowed him hard, knocking the air out of him while pulling the knife out of his hand.
You twisted your body, kicking Leon away from you as best as you could. You saw him collapse on the ground, his hands on his chest while he coughed, struggling to breathe for a moment.
You had your gun aimed towards him, your knife ready in the other hand, both arms in criss-cross position. You weren't going to shoot him, but if he tried anything else...
No, don't think that (Y/N).
Leon coughed, slowly sitting up while he regained his breath.
He slowly looked up at you, seeing your gun pointed right at his head. He met your eyes, no longer showing the ruby colored irises that glared at you like the eyes of the devil, instead showing the pools of baby blue ice that matched him.
"What..." he panted, confusion rasping in his out of breath tone. "(Y/N), what are you...what are you doing?"
"I-I don't know." You spoke, your voice slightly trembling. You lowered your gun and knife slowly, your eyes glued to him the entire time.
"One moment you were just fine and then,...a-and then you, Oh god." You took a moment to reclaim yourself, fixing your mind from all the commotion that just passed.
"You..changed."
"Changed?" He questioned.
"You almost tried to kill me Leon."
Your subtle words made his eyes widen with surprise and other mixed emotions. He ignored the pain in his chest for a moment, your words playing in his head like a broken record.
"I did?" He forced out, looking down towards the ground, unable to look you in the eye any longer. "You were...I-I don't know! You were grabbing me and...and then you tried to kill me, but Leon." You watched him stand up, one hand gripping tightly onto his chest. "Your eyes they..they were red. Like a Ganado's."
He nodded slowly, keeping his gaze towards the ground. Slowly, he reached into his pocket and took out the bottle of pills. He twisted open the cap and took out two, placing them back into his pocket before popping them into his mouth. He struggled to swallow, his throat incredibly dry.
"Are you alright?" Leon asked, voice lowered down to a mutter.
"Yeah, I'm fine." You shook your head. "But, are you?"
"Yeah," he avoided your gaze at all costs. "I'll be alright."
He turned towards the statue, his gaze avoiding your figure at all costs. He approached the plaque and read the words, his face showing concentration.
He looked up, staring ahead at the large cave walls.
"I think we should split up." Came his response after a short period of awkward silence.
"What?" You gasped, unable to believe the words coming out of his mouth. "Their's two tunnels leading into different directions, we'll each search for clues then regroup here." He looked over and spotted his abandoned shotgun, laying on the ground like a piece of trash.
He had no memory of attacking you at all. One moment, he was staring up at the strange narrowed paths that led towards different directions, the next he's on the ground, breathless with his girlfriend's gun aimed towards his head.
He picked up his gun, catching sight of your boots moving towards him from the corner of his eye. "I'll take the right, you take the left." He quickly spoke, avoiding your gaze while he started to walk forward.
