Dante x Leon thoughts where Dante can probably smell or sense Leon's latent Raccoon City Syndrome, but Leon fights BOWs for a living and has been given ALL KINDS of vaccines for this stuff, so Dante just assumes that Leon (and Chris, Claire, Jill, Sherry, all the others) are Fine and tries not too think too much about it. Leon's job is dangerous- Dante worries about losing him enough as it is.
And then. The stuff leading up to RE9 happens. And Dante is kicking himself for not mentioning it sooner, because now he's having to watch his boyfriend and friends slowly die in front of him, and he can't do anything about it.
(Idk where to really Go with this AU, given the good ending of that game and all. But still.)
😭😭😭😭😭 i just know that when the smell got worse dante started asking leon about it and leon just never told him whats happening to him. leon himself didnt get to confirm it was a t-virus infection after he and sherry found the info in that one computer too and id like to think he kept telling himself he'll let dante know when he figures out what's going on. but then he still doesnt bc he cant bring himself to 💔
