Like I'm really excited to write Kitty's dialogue because she has my accent and my speech patterns, but I cannot get my Appalachian lit professor's voice out of my head when I do, saying, "literary voyeurism".... Like it's somehow a bad thing to write different speech patterns and accents. Which, I can understand if you're doing it to make a specific group of people seem stupid in comparison to their oppressors (this has been done over and over again to the black community). But like? It's my accent. It's my speech pattern. I can do what I want?

Ok ok ok, so how do Kitty and Leon end up falling for each other????

Context: "Like what drew him to her and what drew her to him?"

So, going by Leon's most popular ships, he tends to favor people who are quick-witted and tough. Kitty taking a shot that could have killed him, but didn't (and knew it wouldn't) was already a huge attraction to him, though he suppressed that at the time. Her competency is something that he values immeasurably. And if we're being honest, so is her recklessness (though this does get them in a fair amount of fights).

But what really draws him in is her softness. After they escape Raccoon City, Kitty becomes Emily's (Grace's adopted daughter) private tutor, and the gentleness Kitty displays in her interactions with Emily (and people in general) is what tugs at Leon the most. Because how can someone who has been through so much, still be so kind? He realizes that while he is attracted to the wild toughness she exhibited, it doesn't compare half as much to the gentleness she is capable of. Her vulnerability and openness with him after they escape is also something he doesn't expect. Leon is emotionally constipated at best, and someone willing to show their softest parts, Kitty's emotional underbelly so to speak, starts to shatter his defenses.

Having someone to care for after being alone for so long is also something that helps him open up. He finds himself looking for her in the everyday, looking forward to seeing her smile, to hearing her laugh, or sing in the shower. He wants to take care of her, buy her things, put a ring on her finger, and make sure she wants for nothing. He never wants to see her despair as she did when she admitted she knew she would never make it out of Raccoon City, even in a body bag.

He fights these feelings as much as possible, because he is so much older than her. He feels as though he is taking advantage of Kitty by feeling any sort of way other than friendly (or parental, and lets not get me started on any potential daddy kinks okayyyyy). The vulnerability aspect is what really throws him. If she were surly and uncooperative, it would be easy for him to dismiss his feelings, to ignore her worming into the chinks in his armor. But this also scares him. Kitty is almost too earnest with him, and this isn't something he is used to. So he pushes her away for a good while.

His acceptance of his feelings comes gradually. He finally realizes that it's more than platonic affection, more than a desire to care for someone in need, and more than even lust. And once that happens, there is no turning back. He's all in, shiny engagement ring, elaborate (private!!!) proposal, raunchy engagement sex , and already looking into buying a home.

Essentially. He falls first, doesn't realize it, and falls super hard once he does.

Kitty is more gradual. Though, her initial draw to Leon is more akin to that of a baby animal imprinting on a caretaker. Yes, she rescues him, but he's the first living human she's met in years that not only does not try to kill her on sight (or use her for world ending experiments), but actively protects her with his own life and body. Even though she's not romantically interested in him at first (or even really attracted to him bc she is #myme and demisexual), he immediately becomes someone she is unwilling to lose, or part with.

Leon's struggles with his attraction and feelings for her confuses Kitty to no end. He lets his control slip pretty early on into their forced cohabitation, and each time it happens he puts up more walls, leading to a lot of confusion on both ends (for different reasons. Kitty, because she doesn't understand why he would lie to himself and her. Leon because he doesn't understand why he would ever act in a sexual manner toward someone he considered a friend and he was in charge of caring for). Despite her years of confinement in Raccoon City, Kitty is emotionally mature enough to try and talk things out with Leon, only to be shut out.

And she doesn't mind the sexual attraction he has for her. They quickly grow very close after having to live together, him ferry her to and from appointments with DSO approved therapists and doctors, grocery shopping, meal planning (new to Leon), and random outings to book stores and libraries (two of the only public places Kitty can stand to be after Raccoon City, as crowds always remind her of zombie hoards now). So, for Kitty. It kind of just happens. She doesn't really know when, or how, or why. But one morning, she's sitting in the dining space of Leon's small DC apartment, sipping tea, watching him prepare his coffee for the morning. The sun hits him from the back, pouring into the space from the windows from the living room. He turns to smile at her, sleepy and genuine. And it hits her. She is in love with him.

Leon is kind, he is giving, he is generous with her. He takes care of her, and has a innate desire to help people. The fact that he's hot doesn't even factor in until one of those times Leon's control slips. They're in the entryway of the apartment, he's steadying her after she lost her balance trying to pull off a shoe, and now she is anchored against the wall and Leon is far too close. Flashes of the previous times he's kissed her, or touched her, or otherwise engaged in acts of a sexual nature with her are now in the forefront of her mind. Each time she was enthusiastically consenting, because she was touch starved. It felt nice. She felt safe with Leon. But now? Now she felt like she was melting into a puddle of mush just at the heated look in his eyes, at the brush of his thumb against her cheekbone. This time it's Kitty who runs away, leaving Leon confused and feeling foolish.

It's when Kitty finally tells him that she doesn't want to leave that their feelings spill out for the first time. He brings up her moving out, maybe even moving back home to Tennessee, because he thinks she is unhappy. The DSO wants her to work for them, acting under Leon, and he thinks it would be better for her to be away from that lifestyle. Heartbroken, Kitty pleads with him to let her stay, and everything tumbles out for the both of them.

After that, Leon is desperately searching for a ring and Kitty is kind of just in heaven. Being doted on is a huge thing for her, and Leon is never holding back in that regard again.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK I HOPE THIS ANSWER IS SATISFACTORY!!!!!!!

I am having do much fun writing this leoki fic holy shiiiit

Bestie, I must know about Kittie 👉🏻👈🏻 🥺

What she does, how she met Leon, how she gets mixed up in all the events of RE9, everything. Please, I MUST know.

Please and thank you ♥️

YOU WILL REGRET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also note that this will contain spoilers for the game pls and ty.

Okay okay okay, before the events of RE9, Kitty's parents worked for Oswell Spencer as his housekeeper (mom) and caretaker (dad). Spencer paid for private tutoring for Kitty when she was old enough, because he would not allow her or her family of the property. She would spend her days evading the trap-laden corridors of Spencer's manor house by playing with his adopted baby daughter, Grace, or reading to Spencer when he was in a good mood. When he passed, he left her family a substantial amount of money in his will, because he was very affectionate towards Kitty.

This led to Kitty having a really good start to her education, and she became a middle school English teacher by 22! She loves children and she especially loves to work with kids who have different needs, or are neurodivergent.

She is a certified girly girl, who also loves bugs (is the type to have specimens, but also live bugs too. She would raise endangered moth species!!), and hunting. Wildlife conservation is a huge passion of hers, and so is eating/cooking wild game (is the type of girl who would eat squirrels).

Because of her family's connection to Spencer, Victor Gideon believes that Kitty has some sort of knowledge on ARK, and Elpis. Which, she does possess in a secret compartment in her bedroom at her parents house but has no knowledge that it exists as her parents hid it from her. Gideon sends a t-virus infected henchmen to kidnap her from her home, but he instead finds her parents and murders them while she is out with her girlfriend (who was going to propose that evening but got cold feet). When she returns and finds her parents dead, the henchmen injects her with a sedative and carries her off to Gideon, who, unbeknownst to Kitty, experiments on her with a new strain of T-virus with a delayed onset reaction. This harms her memory, and other bodily functions (as well as begins to rot her body), at the expense of making her strong, fast, and improving her eyesight. It also makes it so that she can survive without much food the further the virus progresses.

She and Leon meet when he goes to Raccoon City to rescue Grace. Kitty rescues him from being mauled by a zombie he thought he had killed, and decides that he will be her ticket out of the city (what she doesn't know is that Gideon and Zeno have been preventing her escape to monitor her progress with their virus). He also can't leave someone in need by themselves (hero complex much????).

When they escaped, and they're all cured from their respective viruses with the Elpis cure, Leon is tasked with rehabilitating Kitty, as she has been deemed too risky to be "released" into the public sphere after the events of ARK are made public. She is made to sign like a million NDAs, attend mandatory mental health screenings, and have blood tests done regularly. They also are studying her blood to continue to manufacture more of the Elpis antiviral. So! She has to live with Leon in his DC apartment (where he is stationed while she "recovers") and they grow closer, and have to fight their feelings for each other because! He's 20+ years older than her! And she's "vulnerable"! Kitty remains close with Grace, and even helps to educate her adopted daughter, Emily!

Humbly asking for leoki crumbs this Friday morning <333 if you wish !!

Ask and ye shall receive................

"

"Kid, no, you'll die down here if I leave you!" Leon protested, voice tight and face pinched with pain.

The black bruise was growing over his face and forearms now, flowing through his veins. He was dying.

Kitty gave a wet cough, placing her hand over the wound in her abdomen. Blood was flowing freely now, over her filthy fingers and soaking through her layered shirts. Her vision blurred — black spots dancing in front of her eyes — as she smiled up at him, the first true smile she had worn in years.

"Its okay, Leon," she managed, her voice a crackling rasp of anguish. "Its okay. I need you and Grace to stop Gideon and Zeno. I-I n-need—" she broke off in fit of coughs, blood spraying from her lips. Her head swam violently and she could barely see Leon's beautiful face any longer. "I need you to get out. You died here once, I don't want it to happen again."

"Don't be stupid," he admonished. "This place is killing me anyway. Who am I if I can't save you?"

"If this wound d-don't kill me, the T-Virus is sure to. Please, at least get Grace outta here." Another hacking cough, blinding pain seared through her, stealing her voice.

Kitty ripped a hand away from her wound, blood-slick fingers gripping Leon's with what little strength she had left. He squeezed back just as her vision began to tunnel. And, oh, the pain was so great she couldn't say goodbye. Not that she wanted to. Goodbye's were too difficult. Instead, she smiled, even as Leon called her name. Even as he screamed."

"

Heat seared at Kitty's back, pulling her from the soft embrace of sleep. When her eyes blinked open, she realized it was still dark out. Her throat burned with thirst, and for the first time in years she realized she was safe enough to venture further than her sleeping spot to satiate that feeling.

Limbs heavy with sleep, she pulled the covers off of her sweating body, the thin material of her t-shirt and shorts clinging to her frame. She lay there a moment, letting the cool air waft over her heated skin before attempting to sit up. As she did, something tightened around her middle like a vise, a puff of hot air coating the back of her neck.

Kitty froze, gaze darting to the muscular arm that encircled her waist, then twisting to see Leon pressed tightly behind her. He was so warm, so large against her back. Her breath stuck in her throat, heart pounding in her ears. Somehow, she had moved closer to him in the night, and he had not… or had…

What was that pressing against her ass?

Without thinking, Kitty's hand shot toward her backside, pressing her palm gently against the offending object.

Was he sleeping with his gun holstered? If he was she was going to kill him.

Her eyes widened in shock.

Oh no. Oh no.

That was most definitely not Leon's gun.

Kitty's face flamed, embarrassment burning a hole through her stomach. Oh, if only the ground would open up and swallow her whole. But then it would take Leon too, and she would still be in the same predicament.

A soft grunt pulled her attention back to where her hand was still grasping. Horrified, Kitty snatched her hand away as though burned. Leon's arm tightened further around her, pulling her flush against his erection.

"Fuck, Kid, quit teasing me," he breathed against the back of her neck, his lips grazing the sensitive skin there.

Kitty shuddered, something hot and familiar burning low in her belly.

Shit. No.

No, no, no.

"Mr. K-Kennedy?" she said hesitantly.

"Mmm…" he mumbled against her skin. "You're so, fuck—"

His hips pressed into hers so roughly he had to be awake, his hand snaking between her thighs to cup her, fingers digging the material of her shorts into her clit. Kitty yelped at the sudden contact, jumping in his embrace.

In a flash, Kitty found herself on her back, Leon's arms bracketed around her head. His pajama-clad thigh parted hers, her bare skin nearly steaming in the cool air of the room.

"Le—" she started, Leon's mouth surging toward her own, hot and insistent."
