With a Little Help from My Friends (Leon Kennedy X Reader)

Chapter 23

(Y/n) Point of View

Leon's kiss had caught me off guard, but what was questioning was the date part. Honestly, it was a little funny to me. He was being pretty random and seemed to have forgotten about our objective of getting Ashley.

    "You're being silly," I timidly comment, not sure how to respond. He sighed, and I could see that he was being truthful about the matter. Thinking about how much it meant for him to take me out on an official date made my stomach tingle. And without noticing the cheesy grin that grew on my face, I place both hands on his bended knees, patting them gently to encourage we continue before I attempted a bear hug and it with many kisses.

    "Come on, Leon. We gotta go get Ashley," saying as I stand and reach out once again, pulling him up and moving forward. Jumping over the open window frame, we both jog to the locked room she resided in.

__________

"Guys!" Ashley jumped to her feet, running over to greet both rescuers with a giant hug. She was happy to see them, and was trying not to focus too much on one person to fully show how grateful she was to be recollected again.

Leon was the first to reassure her that this would be the last time they were separated, giving a confident smile as he tapped between her shoulder blades in a friendly fashion. (Y/n) was next as she grinned to show more reassurance to the young girl, trying to set ease to the harsh adventure they've had so far. Happy to leave the confines of the small storage space and onto more adventure outside, (Y/n) was the first to try and exit the room. As absurd as it sounds, she was eager to see what Saddler had set for them. And besides, this was going to be the mission that was the golden ticket to a higher status and reputation back at work.

Martinez wouldn't think twice to send her on operations that "required a top agent", because she'll prove she is the top agent that she always was.

And maybe she'll request a transfer back to the States...

She'd hate to leave the close friends that made her feel welcomed in this country when she first arrived, especially Axel. Oh god, just thinking about his reaction to her choice made her heart ache. He was her best friend, and the one person that she didn't want to hurt. And if he knew the true reason she wanted to leave back to the States, he'd be distraught and angry at her for her rash idea;

but with a quick glance at Leon, the decision seemed to solidify to a concrete answer. She wanted to escape and be with him.

"What's that," Ashley pointed at the barred opening, a small object in view.

A paper airplane flew in mysteriously, landing lightly on the dirtied floor as all three gathered around. Leon was the first to pick up the small craft, his gaze fixed on the marked red lipstick he grew familiar with, and began unfolding the paper.

"Ada..." he muttered.

Handing the note to (F/n), she read the print aloud.

Perhaps you have figured it out already, but you might be able to get out of here by using the waste disposal vent.

"Cute note. If she had time to craft this, couldn't she have taken the time to stop by and say it," (F/n) added, crushing the note into a crumpled ball and tossing it over her shoulder.

    She moved past Leon, slightly annoyed by the red lipstick that stained her finger from touching the plane just a few second ago. It felt like Ada was constantly one step ahead, merely watching the duo as they fight to stay alive; and it was starting to piss her off. After all, she had incapacitated her hours earlier. (F/n) couldn't help but think that even though Ada had brought her back to Leon, she was planning to do something cynical in the end. Maybe it was time to ask Leon about their relationship.
