@bsaacaptainâ sent [ INTERCEPT ]: sender takes a bullet/punch/attack meant for the receiver. ( teheh chris taking a bullet for leon pls )
It happens all at fast and slow all at the same time. Heâs prepared for the bullet that comes, even squeezes his eyes shut to willingly accept it, but then it never comes. Instead, he opens his eyes to see Chris in front of him with the bullet lodged in him instead. âChris!â
He doesnât even hear the next gunshot, someone on their team shooting the one who had shot Chris. He doesnât hear it because heâs dropping his gun to the ground with a heavy thud, launching himself forward to catch Chris in his arms as he falls from the impact of the bullet.
Gently lowering him to the ground, Leonâs quick to move into action, quickly pulling his shirt up and pressing the palm of his hand hard against the wound. He knows itâs going to hurt, but he has to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
The blood soaks his palm and fingers. Thereâs so much blood. So much. Hands tremble as Leonâs eyes meet Chrisâ face, blue eyes filling up with tears. Itâs not often that Leon lets himself cry, but he can not stop the way the tears flow out of his eyes as if heâs opened a flood gate.
âNo, no, no, no.â Leon repeats the words quickly, glancing down at his hand and then quickly back to Chrisâ face. He wants to cup his cheek, to comfort him, but he has to keep his hands on the wound. âNo, Baby. Baby....Bambino. Donât do this to me. Donât you dare leave me. You understand? Donât leave! God, I canât lose you. I canât lose you!â Words come frantically, there are people watching, but he doesnât care.
âCome on, baby. Stay awake, alright? Listen to my voice.â A shaky breath is inhaled, the tears donât stop, no matter what he does. âBambino....I love you.....donât leave me.â Itâs the first time heâs said the words but if Chris is going to die.....he needs him to know. He needs him to know just how much he loves him.
âYou hear me? I love you. So donât you dare go breakinâ my heart.â One hand moves, bloody fingers coming up to his radio to try and get the attention of someone. âI need a medic team to my location! Now!â
