A Little Bit [Helena and Leon]

A Little Bit...

Months had passed ever since the Tall Oaks and China incident. Helena Harper since then moved down from Secret Service to the DSO. How low it was of her. For Helena to "demote" herself. Apparently, it was her choice and hers alone. Leon wasn't sure if this decision she made was the right one, but he had to respect her decision, one way or the other. But how and why? Helena Harper was one of the best agents that the Secret Service has had and she never knew about it. She felt that she needed to take the pressure off her back and decided that the DSO was the right place to be, especially with her partner, Leon Scott Kennedy, whom she had a crush and had felt closer feelings for him since Tall Oaks, and Leon himself didn't know about how Helena felt for him since they barely saw each other after the events of Tall Oaks. Helena had been going through the rough patches on her own, facing the nightmares, her own sister Deborah. It had taken a toll on her. She had no one left, besides Leon. But she felt that he wouldn't love him anyways. But who was she to say that Leon didn't love her? As for the case of Leon Scott Kennedy. Plenty of women he had in his life and he was unsuccessful with all of them. One that he couldn't not get off his mind. Ada Wong. The so called friend of Leon, the treacherous bitch in the red dress. For him, it felt unhealthy. He kept drinking miserably.
"Ada..." he said mumbling on his glass.
The man had drank a lot of alcohol, as he drank the whole bottle without hesitation whatsoever. The man threw the bottle on the wall, breaking it. "Fuck!" He yelled as he slammed his own fists on the table. But what will it take for him to leave his miserable state of his.
For a woman who would use him only to accomplish her mission, never saw him again, after 15 years, how long before a man like that, has had enough?
"Ada always comes and goes, then again and again, like I'm stuck in a loop of misery."
He thought to himself slapping his own head.
"You know what? I'm done. I'm just sick of someone going back and repeat the same thing all over again!" Leon said as he tries to forget the mistakes and the things he did for Ada.
The mind had raced off onto one of the people he's cared about. The one who he saved in Tall Oaks, the one who he felt that their connection had grown.
"Helena..." he said.
"Maybe, maybe I doubt that she will love me anyways, with all of the things she had went through." He said.
Feeling something for Helena wasn't the right thing.
"We need to speak about someone."
He had sent a text to someone to speak with tomorrow, Chris Redfield.
He shut his eyes off to sleep, hoping for a better tomorrow.

The next day

Leon had woken up from his slumber. Only to see Chris sitting on the chair.
Apparently Leon had woken up late.

A few minutes later, Leon and Chris had sat down.

"I know what you're going to say. But don't. Ada Wong has only left you miserable, tons of times. She's not the right person for you. Never was, even if you had history with her. For someone who uses you for her own interests. It's not cool, Leon, best thing to do is move forward." Chris had said thinking of what Leon was going to say.

"I know, I am already done with Ada, but Helena, i mean..."
Leon said stopping his own words.

"There was something between us, something grew on me, there was something and nothing about falling in love with Helena."
Leon said tearfully to Chris about his hidden feelings for Helena.

"But what I actually felt for her, ever since China... it was.. it was just, something different. Closer I was to her, the more I realised that I loved her." Leon said to Chris.

"I know you'll do the right thing, Leon. Just like you said to me." Chris said to Leon patting on his shoulder.

"She wanted to imprison herself for her crimes. To take responsibility for someone's actions. She was innocent. I was so blind to see that.." Leon said with guilt running on his face.
