Leon Kennedy One Shots

Late Night Calls

It's been 6 months since the incident in Raccoon City and, oddly enough, it didn't get the attention it should have on the news. You figured that Umbrella covered it up so it wouldn't ruin their prestige reputation but you know that they are doing the same thing somewhere else. But of course there's nothing you can do about it and once you realized that, the nightmares began. Of the night in Raccoon City. The night where there were more undead than living in the city. Of course if it weren't for that night you wouldn't have met Officer Leon Scott Kennedy, who you were now dating. Together you two made it out of the city alive but there were so many people that died that you can't help but feel the guilt. You know that it bothers Leon but he never shows it and you feel weak everytime that you do.

But that night it was worse than ever. The face of the young child that you were just barely unable to save and her scream as the undead tore through her flesh. If it weren't for Leon, you would have had the same fate, but he dragged you away telling you that there was nothing you could do to save the girl now and you tried your best. None of those words stopped the memory from haunting you to this day, especially in the night. You woke up crying as you had done many times before but this time you couldn't deal with it alone. You looked at the alarm clock on the right side of your bed. It read 2:58 am. It didn't matter what time it was really all that you knew what that you needed to hear Leon's comforting voice. After calming down you picked up your phone, found his number, and called.

"(Y/n), don't you know that it's 3 am babe?" he said as he picked up the phone, his voice groggy from just waking up.

You took a moment to respond, trying not to sound like you were about to cry. This was the first time you had called him about the nightmares and you weren't sure that you should have called at all.

After you didn't respond right away Leon knew that something was wrong.

"(Y/n), I want you to talk to me. What's going on? Are you alright? Do I need to come over there? Is there anything you need?" He talked fast but you could hear the genuine concern in his voice. After hearing those words, the words that you needed to hear the most, you burst out crying. You weren't able to contain it anymore and it all broke free at once.

"Leon, I need you to come over please,I need you." You managed to say through broken sobs.

"I'll be there in 10. And don't go anywhere until I get there." and with that he hung up the phone.

You decided to get up, and headed to the bathroom thinking that you shouldn't look like a troll but you didn't really care once you saw yourself in the mirror. Wearing only one of Leon's shirts and underwear you headed to the door once you heard the knock knowing exactly who it was. You ran the last couple of feet and fell into Leon's arms once you opened the door. He moved you to the couch and sat next to you with a troubled look on his face. Looking up at him you could see that he didn't think about putting the time into his appearance either. His dirty blond hair disheveled and a wrinkled pair of jeans and black t-shirt but despite that, he looked perfect.

"What's going on babe? Why have you been crying?" his blue eyes looking into yours. You started crying again and in between sobs you told him about everything. About the nightmares, and how you felt guilty about all the lives lost. The entire time he listened and rubbed your back. After you finished you fell back into his chest while he started to talk to you.

"(Y/n) listen to me, what happened there was horrible and traumatizing for both of us, but what happened there wasn't your fault. That blood isn't on our hands, it's on Umbrella's. You shouldn't do this to yourself. No matter what, none of it was any of our faults. Not yours, not mine, not Claire's, nobody but Umbrella. I hate to see you like this but I know how strong you are and I know that you can make it through this and you know that if you ever need me for anything, I will come in a heartbeat to help you. It's the times like these that I truly live for and if I didn't save you that day, I wouldn't be the man that I am because you are the one that shaped me to be like this and that's why I love you (y/n)."

He leaned down and kissed the top of your head, bringing a small smile to your face. Soon your started to drift off on that couch with Leon playing with your hair. His words still in mind as you finally drifted off. I love you (y/n)...
