Cleon on the Run Headcanons
I just read an absolutely fantastic fanfiction where Claire and Leon ended up on the run from the US Government, so I started thinking about them on the run. Please feel free to use my headcanons. If you post them, please @ me because I'd love to read them.
1: They one hundred percent will use matching last names when checking into hotels/motels. They like the idea of making people guess whether they’re related or married. They don’t tell anyone and there’s no PDA in front of the people working there. Claire started it as a funny little jab at the fact that one of the ladies asked if they were related when they asked for a room with two beds in it.
2: Leon tries to get them a place with a kitchen so they aren’t living on fast food 24/7. It usually doesn’t end up turning out right, so Claire relentlessly teases him for it.
3: Despite hating when anyone else drives him places, he lets Claire drive whenever she wants to. He feels safe enough with her that he’ll take something so he can sleep while they’re driving during times where the government’s too close on their heels for them to find somewhere to stop for the night.
4: They live on Red Bulls and snuggles, you can’t convince me otherwise. Sure, saving the world is great and all, but there’s no way that they can run solely on that. Kisses are good too, they really boost morale. I’m such a dork for that statement, but whatever.
5: You know when things are making you feel absolutely crazy? That’s what happens to Claire anytime that she sees Leon doing normal things like changing a tire. They’re so used to only seeing each other in times where the world is ending, that she forgets that they have normal lives at times. Leon, on the other hand, has dreamed of being with Claire for normal things, so he’s never surprised. Definitely surprised when she wakes up and makes food for them the times that they have access to a kitchen, but that’s because he’s used to making his own food.
6: Sherry, Chris, and Jill keep up with them as best as they can. Claire likes to send him selfies with the wildest captions as updates sometimes. (Ex. Leon changing the tire of the car that they’re driving because they got a flat from driving over a rock. “Car chases are wild. Can't wait to get back to them.")
7: When they finally manage to get cleared, the first thing they do is call Chris and Jill. Claire excitedly tells them that her and Leon’s vacation is over and that they’re coming back now. Leon bitches about her calling it a vacation since it was not a vacation.
