Pairing: Leon S. Kennedy x Reader

Rating: Teen (Protective, Angst, Safehouse)

Summary: The locations change, but the war doesn't. Leon takes the first watch to make sure you stay safe.

​The clip clicked into place—a sharp, mechanical sound that cut through the silence of the safehouse. Leon didn’t flinch. He rarely did anymore.

​He adjusted the leather gloves over his knuckles, his blue eyes scanning the dark perimeter beyond the rain-slicked window. Raccoon City, Spain, the President's daughter... the locations changed, but the smell of ozone and rot always remained the same.

​"Leon?"

​Your voice cut through the static in his head. He turned, the hard, professional set of his jaw softening the moment his eyes found you. He stepped away from the window, closing the distance between you in two long strides. He placed a heavy hand on your shoulder, grounding himself as much as you.

Bet you thought I wasn't going to update it again! (valid, honestly. It's been a year) HAH, WRONG!

If you’re sure about one thing, it’s that you made a serious miscalculation the other day.  With Victor no longer believing in you, it was easy to look back on your track record and only see failures. You fucked things up getting him out, you fucked things up at the bar, and you fucked things up at the meeting.  But that’s the thing. Ever since his return, Victor hasn’t believed in you, not even a little bit. He’s simply allowed you to come along, reluctantly squeezed you into his plans, or, at times, straight-up sabotaged yours. So of course you’ve had problems, of course you’ve run into snags. You’ve been thrown into situations that weren’t made for you, they were made for someone with insta-heal and knife hands. It doesn’t matter if he believes in you or not. You believe in yourself, and you don’t want to work for someone who doesn’t share that vision. You refuse to go down that path — begging him for jobs, constantly worrying about making mistakes, or wondering if he’s simply pandering to you.  That’s not the job you signed up for. If he wants a girlfriend and only a girlfriend, he can go ahead and fire you. But until then, you’re going to work. 

I am just here living my life and Safehouse coded things show up in my face.
