You're really considering your life choices.

Currently, you hold on for dear life in the fancy little sedan Leon owns as he races down the street, pushing fifty-five on a road where the speed limit was set to forty. It's only been a couple minutes since you left the motel and you wonder in amazement how this man manages to get anywhere with his horrendous driving skills. A stop sign comes up on the horizon, and he at least has the decency to slow down. You think it'll be smooth sailing but he slams his foot on the brake right before the sign and the entire damn vehicle jolts beneath you as your head almost crashes into the headrest. 

Maybe this was how he was trying to kill you. You never thought Leon would be interested in vehicular manslaughter.

Before he can even think about pressing on the gas, you unbuckle your seatbelt and earn a confused look from him. 

"Get out," you command, opening your door. "You're playing passenger princess now."

You feel much safer as you adjust the seat and mirrors and Leon lands into the space you had just occupied. As revenge for your abrupt change in seating, he cranks the religious Christian rock station on the radio and subjects you to guitars lamenting about Jesus as singers mourn the death of their savior. 

Truly, right now you wish Jesus would take the wheel.

"How did you even pass your driver's test?" You mumble, checking the street both ways (which you're sure Leon wouldn't have done if he still had the unfortunate privilege of driving) before tapping the gas and climbing up to a very safe forty-two.

"They said that while my driving was unpleasant, it technically wasn't unsafe or hazardous," he shrugs. "I got it on my third try."

"They lied to you, then," you frown. "Probably gave you pretty boy pity points or something."

“Pretty?”

When you glance at him, his eyebrows are raised suggestively and you scowl. “You’re so right, my apologies. Mediocre boy pity points.”

Here is the masterlist...to all the series' masterlist :')

Every work I upload will be added here regardless if I finished it or not, so this is really all my stories in one place for anybody who needs to binge read some things. All of it is Leon Kennedy so far so yuh! Anyways, enjoy!

You're rambling now, trying to find an excuse to stop those blue eyes from piercing your soul and peeling away every layer of defense you've built up. He keeps getting closer and you're running out of room to escape to. You've never been more scared of him than in this moment–even when he almost killed you the day you met, you've never felt like this. A deer in the headlights, electricity coursing through your nerves as your brain struggles to choose between fight or flight.

Did he know? Did he know about all those lingering gazes and words that held guilt behind them and all those emotions that you weren't supposed to be having clogging up your chest?

Your back hits a wall and you're fucked.

Leon's hands find your waist when he's close enough, your skin rushing hot as his breath fans your face and you smell spearmint. It's addicting. He's addicting.

"Sweet girl," he murmurs, affectionately raw in a way you never would've imagined him to be. His other hand comes up, cupping your jaw delicately and all the blood rushes to your face.

He's called you many things before, and has used more than enough adjectives to convey this disdain for you. Annoying, disgusting, naive, revolting, repulsive…but never in a million years would he have called you sweet. You must be dreaming, and if you are, you never want to wake up.

"I'm actually a very indulgent creep," you whimper out, "Leon, you-"

He cuts you off as his lips press onto yours and all rational thought leaves your brain in an instant. All you can feel is him, his hands on your body, his mouth working your own in such a sinful way that makes your head spin and your stomach do cartwheels.

Also super sorry if you were looking forward to Condor Two. I'm just having a bit of a motivation lag spike. :( I'm sorry but it'll come out sooner or later, I promise!

It's weird, knowing that everything is the same but not at the same time.

You still wake up to the sound of crashing waves lapping lazily up the shoreline and the shrieks of seagulls circling overhead like an ominous murder of crows. You still smell salt in the air as you get ready and go through with the motions of your morning routine. All of that is the same. All of it is familiar.

What isn't familiar is going down the slightly creaky wooden steps and seeing a ghost sitting on one of the barstools at the counter of your kitchen. Ceaseless blue eyes turn as soon as he hears your movement and for a tense moment, you take in each other in the early hours of the morning. The dreary sky overhead casts a gray light through your windows…but he's still as beautiful as the day he left you.

"Morning." Your voice comes out hoarse first before you clear your throat, still having a tinge of gravel lingering in your vocal chords from sleep. "I hope you didn't have a rough time sleeping? I know that the ocean can be kind of bothersome."

Leon shakes his head slightly, movement so miniscule, it's hard to catch it at all. "It was fine," he assures and your heart flutters at the sound of his own morning voice.

"You know you can play music or something if you'd rather try and fall asleep to something else," you offer, stepping forward with the intent of making coffee for the two of you.

Your name falls softly from his lips breathlessly then and the simple address stops you in your tracks. "I know the walls are thin," he says, knowing you'd hear the music through the walls no matter how low he turned it down. "You fell in love with the sound of the waves when you were eleven. I can't take that away from you."

And he still knows you so well after all these years…it's cruel. So cruel.

Leon ran away to change into an entirely new person while you stayed trapped at the beach house and remained the same. It wasn't fair.

At eleven you fell in love with the sound of the waves, yes.
