"Harder! Mierda, do you think I'm made of glass!?"
"No," Leon said evenly. "I think you're made of skin and fur and two centuries of bad decisions."
Luis snarled and thrashed on the bed, but was held firmly in place by Leon's hands pinning his wrists and Leon's hips steadily pounding him into the mattress.
Because even though Luis was a powerful werewolf, he had nothing on the raw strength of a vampire.
"Calm down, you overgrown puppy," Leon chastised.
"Fuck you!" Luis spat. "I'm not your puppy, and you're nothing but a glorified mosquito!"
Leon just rolled his eyes and kept thrusting.
This was how they spent every full moon. Luis was normally very in control of his baser instincts, resembling more a particularly flirty golden retriever than a bloodthirsty wolf. But on the night of full moons, it was a completely different story: Luis became antsy, irritable, and unable to settle down before he'd worked off the energy by hours and hours of either fighting or fucking.
Fortunately, Leon could provide both.
"You can't even fuck me properly!" Luis, apparently, disagreed. "All those muscles just for show, you useless—ah!"
His sentence cut into a groan as Leon snapped his hips up hard enough to jostle Luis on the bed, his whole body shaking with the intensity of it.
"What was that?" Leon asked smugly, picking up a rough pace of slamming in and out of Luis' now-pliant body. "Cat got your tongue, mutt?"
"Nngh," Luis commented. His head was thrown back against the sheets, eyes closed and his mouth parted enough that his canines peeked out.
Leon mentally translated that to, "Yes, fuck me, right there."
So Leon allowed himself to let loose. He used more of his strength, groaning at the feeling of Luis still so hot and tight around him as he fucked in deeper and harder than before.
"Sí, sí, más duro…!" Luis babbled, clawing at the sheets and clenching around Leon.
Luis' cock was so hard it looked almost painful, bobbing in time with Leon's brutal thrusts and leaking pre-come down the shaft. It would be so easy for Leon to get a hand between them and jerk him to completion, but that wasn't what Luis had asked for.
With a grunt, Leon threw one of Luis' legs up on his shoulder and braced his hands more firmly on the bed, never faltering from his rough pace. The new angle and added leverage made Luis sob from pleasure, and a stream of Spanish expletives and endearments alike fell from his lips as Leon kept going, nailing Luis' prostate over and over until—
Luis jolted and came with a scream, his back arching and his cock shooting untouched into the air. Leon's sheets ripped under his claws but Leon didn't care, too busy watching Luis come undone and feeling his body squeezing tightly around his cock.
Leon rode it out with him, slowly fucking him through the aftershocks and then stilling completely when Luis whined from overstimulation.
Luis took a shuddering breath and sank back down against the sheets. His stomach was covered in his own spend—this was already the third time he'd come tonight—and by all accounts, he should be more than sated.
But Leon could read the signs. Though Luis was unusually quiet, his hands stayed gripping the sheets and a quiet growl escaped between his clenched teeth.
Luis wasn't done yet, and fortunately, neither was Leon.
Leon lowered Luis' leg back down but stayed inside him, then experimentally pulled out and slowly thrust back in. Luis hissed, the feeling probably uncomfortable so soon after coming, but he still bucked up to meet Leon's hips.
Taking that as the permission that it was, Leon quickly worked back up into a steady rhythm, quietly amazed at how much Luis' body could handle. Every slide of Leon's cock into his well-used hole seemed to gradually ease the tension in Luis' body, until his dick was back to full hardness and his quiet growls sounded more like pleased moans.
"There you go," Leon praised. Luis' breath hitched and his ear twitched in interest, so he lowered his voice and murmured, "That's a good boy."
"¡Joder!" Luis protested, even as his face went ruddy and his dick jumped from the praise. "Stop acting like I'm a pet dog!"
"If you're not, why does your tail always wag when I call you a good boy?"
Luis went still, and Leon knew he could hear the rhythmic thump-thump of his tail hitting the mattress even over the harsh slap of skin against skin. Half of Luis' tail remained squished between his back and the bed, but the visible part was very enthusiastically showing Leon how much he enjoyed this.
And then Luis glared at Leon and the wagging stopped, but it was a moot point now; Luis could control his tail if he wanted to, but most of the time it was an unconscious action, like breathing.
"Next time, I'll get someone else to fuck me," Luis groused.
Leon chuckled and reached for Luis' cock. "No, you won't."
"Mierda," Luis cursed, bucking up into Leon's hand. "Make me come again and I'll consider it."
It was an empty threat. Their arrangement just worked too well to jeopardize: Luis needed someone who could hold him down all night during full moons, fucking and arguing until he was finally tired out, while Leon required a willing partner to essentially be his personal blood bank. Conveniently, vampires had more than enough strength and stamina to deal with the full moon frenzy, and werewolves just so happened to have enhanced healing that allowed them quickly bounce back after, say, a vampire feeding from them.
Of course, vampires and werewolves were supposed to hate each other. But Leon and Luis had both been shunned by their own kind—ostracized for wanting to coexist with humans and not hunt them for sport—and though they got on each other's nerves like nothing else, living with Luis was one of the best decisions Leon had ever made. They balanced each other out, fought well together, and Luis was the only person Leon had ever truly considered an equal.
Someone more sentimental might have said it was simply meant to be.
"Leon…" Luis groaned. His claws dug into Leon's back and made him hiss: Leon wasn't pinning his wrists anymore and Luis had apparently taken that as an invitation to maul him.
"Yeah?" Leon asked, ignoring the sharp sting of the scratches. His body would heal them in no time, and he knew Luis needed this.
"Good," Luis simply murmured. "It's good. Don't stop."
"I won't. I've got you," Leon promised.
He squeezed Luis' cock on the downstroke and Luis moaned, his eyes fluttering shut as he went pliant under Leon's touch.
It never failed to amaze Leon how fully Luis trusted him. No matter how much they fought or how many insults they threw at each other, somehow they'd always find their way back here: Luis fully handing himself over for Leon to take him apart and put him back together.
"Luis," Leon murmured, thumbing the head of Luis' cock and moaning when it made Luis clench tighter around him. "You feel so good."
Luis whined and threw his head back, exposing the smooth column of his throat, and…
Leon felt the familiar instinct to feed.
Rationally, Leon knew he didn't need to drink yet. He'd done so not even three days ago, and he could easily go a week without. But it was almost a Pavlovian response: each time Leon fed from Luis, it would inevitably end in sex, because Luis was a crazy bastard and actually enjoyed getting brutally bitten and having the blood sucked out of him.
Last time, Leon had bitten and fed from the soft skin of his inner thigh, and Luis had gone lightheaded as all the remaining blood in his body seemingly went to his cock. Once Leon was done feeding and Luis was begging to come, Leon hadn't even bothered wiping his mouth before wrapping his bloody lips around Luis' cock and teasing the tip with his fangs, and Luis had spent himself right then and there.
Leon's mouth watered at the memory. He kept staring at Luis' exposed neck and shoulder; he could see the sweat on the skin, could hear Luis' heart beating frantically in his chest, could imagine exactly how he'd taste…
"Leon?" Luis' uncharacteristically quiet voice snapped him out of it.
Leon met Luis' eyes and saw the red from his own reflected in them. His eyes were glowing bright red with bloodlust and he only now realized his fangs had extended of their own accord, resting heavy against his bottom lip.
Anyone in Luis' position would have been paralyzed from fear, seeing the most dangerous predator on the planet about to attack them. But Luis simply held Leon's gaze and lifted his hand to gently cradle Leon's jaw.
"Mi príncipe," Luis murmured. "What do you need?"
You, Leon wanted to say. Just you. Always.
Leon swallowed; his throat was so dry, and he wanted…
"I just," Leon rasped, eyes locked on Luis' shoulder. "I know it's only been a few days, but—please, can I…?"
"Of course, corazon." Luis smiled and tilted his head to the side, giving Leon better access. "Bon appetit."
Leon's instincts didn't care about the joke or the pet name: they only cared about being granted permission.
Moving faster than any other creature could, Leon surged down and bit into Luis' shoulder.
Blood roared in Leon's ears and endorphins surged through his entire system. He'd meant to only puncture the skin with his two largest fangs, but as soon as the first flood of Luis' blood hit his tongue, Leon was helpless to do anything but let out an animalistic growl and dig in with all of his teeth in a savage bite.
He distantly registered that Luis was screaming himself hoarse, his claws digging into Leon's scalp and back. His body clenched around Leon's cock and a spurt of warmth landed on Leon's stomach as he came.
Leon groaned long and loud, rocking into Luis' body while his fangs siphoned even more of Luis' delicious blood onto his tongue. He always tasted like smoke and the sun, like laughter and home—
Leon's thrusts stuttered as he abruptly came too, burying himself deep inside Luis and filling him with his release. For a second, it felt like he was flying, high on the euphoria of claiming Luis in the two most carnal ways possible.
Mine, Leon's entire body sang. He's mine.
It took a while for both the bloodlust to fade and Leon's erection to go down, but eventually, Leon pulled off Luis' shoulder with a gasp. He was shaking—both of them were. Luis was whining softly and cradling the back of Leon's head, holding him close while Leon fed from him.
He always trusted Leon not to take too much. Because in the five hundred years Leon had been alive, Luis was the only one who wasn't afraid of him.
Leon's chest clenched and his cock pulsed with the last aftershocks, making him moan and bury his face against Luis' throat.
"Fuck, Luis," Leon murmured against Luis' skin, then lapped up the blood dripping from the wound on his shoulder. "Such a good fucking boy."
A choked whimper escaped Luis' lips and his still-soft dick managed a weak spurt, trapped between their bodies as Leon's words milked one last orgasm out of him.
Leon pushed up onto his forearms and simply watched him with a perverted sense of satisfaction. Luis had an arm thrown over his eyes and was taking shallow breaths, his skin shiny with cooling sweat and Leon's bite bright red like a brand on his skin.
He looked exhausted. Sated, but tired, and overwhelmed, and…
"Beautiful," Leon whispered.
Luis laughed hoarsely. "Oye, stop teasing. It's your fault I look like shit."
Leon felt his pale cheeks flame hot with warmth. He really hadn't meant to say that out loud, so he opened his mouth to apologize…
And Luis promptly cupped his head and pulled him down into a kiss instead.
Leon's breath stuttered as Luis' mouth moved sloppily against his own. They didn't usually do this: it felt more intimate than their no-strings sex warranted, and Leon was always afraid of accidentally hurting Luis with his fangs.
But Luis didn't seem to care. He eagerly licked into Leon's mouth, groaning as he tasted his own blood and teased at Leon's fangs with his tongue.
So Leon let himself indulge. He pressed close and kissed Luis hard and messy, smearing red over both of their lips. Luis shuddered and tightened his fingers in Leon's hair, canines playfully nipping Leon's bottom lip before Leon's tongue bullied its way into his mouth and made him moan.
Leon reluctantly pulled away after only a few moments, leaving Luis flushed and panting to catch his breath—and thoroughly testing Leon's self-control to not just pin him against the bed and kiss him for hours.
Luis laughed breathlessly. "Dios mío, who taught you to kiss?"
A drop of blood slid down Luis' chin and Leon licked it up with the flat of his tongue, ending with a peck on Luis' lips. "You did."
"Mmh, I am a very good teacher," Luis said smugly, then shoved Leon's shoulder. "Now move, you giant bat, you're crushing me."
Leon huffed and got off Luis, rolling over onto his back. "Still think the muscles are just for show?"
"A little." Luis winked, then groaned, "Ugh, I need to sleep. For a week, preferably."
Luis turned onto his side and immediately scooted close to Leon. Because vampires always ran cold, and with both the full moon frenzy and vigorous sex, Luis was a furnace. Being close to Leon simply helped him cool off.
Leon knew it didn't mean anything, but he still enjoyed the cuddling.
Luis pressed up against Leon's side, then yawned before tucking his head in the crook of Leon's neck and shoulder. He was sweaty and covered in come and his lips were still smeared with blood, but Leon didn't care. Luis was usually meticulous in his grooming, so it was nice to see him disheveled for a change.
Feeling particularly fond, Leon reached over to pet Luis' sex-mussed hair. Luis didn't say anything, but he tilted his head to give better access, then sighed quietly when Leon scratched behind one of his ears. Leon smiled to himself as he heard the soft swoosh of Luis' tail wagging across the sheets.
Part of Leon wished this didn't have to end—that Luis would call him pet names outside of sex and crawl into his bed for cuddles even on the nights that didn't involve the full moon or Leon feeding from him. That every night, Leon would get to kiss him and hold him and pet his ears even if they bickered until one of them fell asleep.
Because Leon loved this stupid mutt. But werewolves mated for life, and he wasn't about to insert himself where he didn't belong.
He'd wait for Luis as long as he had to. And since they were both immortal, that could be quite some time, but Leon didn't mind.
Luis abruptly stirred against him, and Leon gave him more space as he tiredly lifted his head, eyes still half-lidded from exhaustion. The sun was already starting to rise outside and a sliver of light painted Luis' skin a warm gold.
But then Luis visibly sniffed the air, and poetic sunrises were the last thing on Leon's mind.
Leon quickly pushed himself up. "What is it!?" he demanded, already reaching for the bedside table for a weapon.
Though Leon's senses were enhanced compared to a human's, they had nothing on a werewolf's. It definitely wouldn't be the first time Luis had sensed hunters coming for them, smelling the silver bullets and wooden stakes long before Leon did.
In this state, Luis was temporarily weakened and wouldn't be able to fend for himself. But Leon felt stronger than ever after such a good feed, and he'd do anything to protect Luis; if a hunter so much as stepped foot in the building, he'd rip their head off with his bare hands and—
"The downstairs neighbor is eating bacon," Luis concluded.
Leon groaned and lied back down. "And that's relevant how?" he asked.
Luis' head flopped back down with a huff. "Because I'm hungry."
"Really? I'm not."
"Because you just ate from me, idiota!" Luis snapped, then settled and groused, "I want a steak. Rare."
Leon sighed but obediently got out of bed; it would be good for Luis to eat, especially since Leon fed from him so soon. "Fine."
"And a glass of wine," Luis added.
Leon didn't need to ask what kind—they both only drank red.
"Alright," Leon said.
"The good wine."
At that, Leon bristled: he knew exactly which wine Luis meant. And Luis knew perfectly well that Leon had aged that bottle for well over a hundred years.
"No!" Leon snapped, turning to glare at him. "Bad dog."
As soon as the words left Leon's mouth, he regretted them. Luis' entire face fell and his ears drooped miserably, his tail curling protectively around himself like Leon had physically struck him.
"Bad?" Luis asked, his bottom lip trembling. His expression was full of betrayal and he looked like he was about to cry, his eyes shimmering wetly as he whimpered, "I was bad?"
Leon's cold, dead heart clenched painfully at the display.
"No," Leon said, "no, you're not bad. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Luis sniffled. "Really?"
"Really," Leon said. "I'll go get your food and the wine—it's about time I opened that bottle anyway."
God, he'd do anything to not make Luis cry. The stupid wine wasn't worth seeing him so miserable over.
"Okay," Luis said. He was still pouting, but at least he didn't look on the verge of tears anymore.
"Just sit tight, I'll be right back," Leon promised, shutting the bedroom door.
It didn't even take enhanced hearing to hear Luis start snickering as soon as the door closed, and Leon belatedly realized that he'd been played.
Nonetheless, he headed for the kitchen with only a slightly irritated sigh. It was his own fault for falling for the same damn trick for probably the hundredth time.
Because even though vampires were widely regarded as both the most powerful and intelligent creatures in existence, they all had a weakness. For some, it was sunlight, or crucifixes, or the classic wooden stakes.
But for Leon, it would always be Luis and his puppy eyes.

“What do you mean, you were researching the Plaga!?” Leon demanded.
“I’m not sure how there’s any room for misunderstanding in that statement,” Luis said with an infuriating smirk. “Do you not have research in America? See, it is when dashing scientists such as myself—”
“Why the hell were you working for them!?” Leon interrupted the attempt at deflecting. “For once in your life, fucking be straight with me!”
Luis laughed, a mocking sound without any humor. “Be straight with you? Oh, amigo, you should have considered that before you shoved your dick down my throat.”
“For fuck’s sake, Luis!” Leon slammed his fist on the wall above Luis’ head with a bang.
The noise startled both men, and they quieted as the old elevator rattled and shook, the noise echoing through the mines. Thankfully, the elevator car kept moving up.
Finally, Luis sighed. “Look, I don't know what to tell you. I came back to this village to get away from my past mistakes, and only got roped into another disaster instead. It's my fault that Las Plagas evolved this far. Is that what you want to hear?”
“Yes. No.” Leon groaned and pushed off the wall, away from Luis. “I don’t know.”
That was a lie: Leon knew exactly what he wanted to hear. He wanted Luis to laugh at the accusations and say that he had nothing to do with the parasite. That he regretted his time at Umbrella and had changed after it, and was now just an unfortunate bystander who hadn’t spent the last few days lying in Leon’s face.
Of course, Leon’s life was never that simple.
“You know, you aren’t making this very easy,” Luis said.
“You’re the one who lied to me,” Leon shot back. “If you wanted easy, you should’ve been honest from the start.”
Luis snorted. “You would not have hesitated to shoot me on sight if you knew the full extent of my actions.”
“Then why even tell me now?” Leon snapped.
When Luis’ reply didn’t come immediately, Leon turned back to look at the man and saw an uncharacteristically somber expression on his face.
“Maybe I'm tired of living a shitty life,” Luis simply said.
Leon knew he should push more. He should yell at Luis and probably arrest him for putting countless lives in danger; God knows Luis seemed to think he deserved it.
“Why did you leave Umbrella?” Leon asked instead.
“Oh, we are returning to sin number one?” Luis said, then sighed. “I was young and reckless and Umbrella had unlimited resources and no pesky ethical code to follow. And so, my team researched parasites: what could possibly go wrong, right?” Luis’ mouth quirked up in a self-deprecating smile. “After an entire city was infected with Umbrella's cannibal virus and a bioweapon I helped create was set loose to wreak havoc, well, let's just say burying my head in the sand was no longer an option.”
No. No no no no—
“Raccoon City,” Leon breathed. “That was you.”
Luis winced. “Not all of it, technically, but… yes. Some of that blood is on my hands.”
Leon’s head was spinning. One of the few friends he'd made in the years following the worst night of his life, someone he’d even started entertaining the thought of building something with once this was all over, also had a hand in the incident that broke Leon in the first place.
Leon really should have known as soon as Hunnigan said the words Umbrella scientist.
“But I thought…” Leon said, desperate to make sense of everything. “What about the Birkins?”
Luis looked up in surprise. “The Birkins' pet project was the G-strain, not the regular T-virus or NE-alpha parasite. But you sure know a lot of very classified information.”
“Because I was there,” Leon said. He swallowed. “My first and last day as a cop, at Raccoon City PD. Conveniently located right above a secret Umbrella research facility.”
Luis stared at him wide-eyed. “And that's why they have you working for the government. Anyone who had seen the events would need to be kept under control, especially if they knew about the lab.”
Leon blinked; he knew Luis was a scientist, but it still caught him off guard how quickly he’d deduced the right conclusion.
Luis' face fell as the realization set in. ”That's what's wrong with you. You wanted to be a policeman to help people, yet you were forced into being a killing machine. They didn't give you an option, eh?”
That's what's wrong with you. The words cut deep, at the dark place inside Leon that he thought he’d buried six years ago.
“Is death an option?” Leon weakly joked.
“Oh, mi amor—ehm, amigo,” Luis quickly corrected himself.
But Leon had caught the slip-up, and it was like the metaphorical knife lodged deep inside twisted in the wound. He hadn’t known how much he'd miss the ridiculous Spanish pet names before they were taken away from him.
“I know you probably won't believe me, but I am sorry,” Luis said. “If not directly responsible, I still played a part in the two worst events of your life.”
Leon nodded. He wondered what it said about him that his first instinct—after wanting to throw a predictable punch—was to say you're also one of the best things to happen in my life, so it evens out.
The elevator ground to a halt, then, their destination reached. They were finally close to the surface, yet Leon still felt like he was suffocating—not from the stale air of the mines, but from the thick tension between them.
“I wish you’d told me all this before we…” Leon trailed off.
Luis smiled that sad smile again. “I'll add it to my long list of regrets.”
Leon watched Luis sigh and walk out of the elevator, straightening his shoulders and forcing a spring into his step.
“No matter, we have a princess to rescue!” Luis said, his voice that familiar mix of humor and teasing, like he was happy to pretend their conversation never happened.
Luckily for him, Leon didn’t like leaving things unfinished.
“Luis, wait.”
Before Luis could react, Leon grabbed him by the shoulders and shoved him against a wall of crates next to the elevator. For a heartbeat, they simply stared at each other, the tension crackling between them.
And then, when Luis didn’t protest, Leon leaned in and unceremoniously shoved his tongue down Luis’ throat.
Luis immediately moaned into the kiss and grabbed Leon’s shoulder straps to pull him closer, and that reassured Leon more than any empty promises could. After everything that had happened, Luis still trusted him with this; he let Leon manhandle him against the splintering crates and allowed Leon’s lips and tongue to take whatever he wanted.
Even if everything else had been a lie, there was no faking the attraction between them: the way Luis melted under his touch, the way Leon’s heart beat frantically in his chest, and the way they desperately clung to each other was all so very real.
Luis’ hands slid up to wrap around Leon’s neck and a teasing tongue caressed Leon’s own, coaxing a deep groan out of the agent. Impatient hands pulled Leon closer and when he obliged, Luis sighed happily into the kiss, like there was nowhere else he’d rather be.
And that was the gist of it, wasn’t it? Luis had had plenty of opportunities to escape the cult while Leon mowed down ganados with gunfire and explosives. Yet he’d stayed right by Leon’s side, adamant on helping him and Ashley escape this rotten village.
Conflicting emotions raged within Leon and he stamped them down in favor of slanting his mouth against Luis' to deepen the kiss further, hands moving down from Luis’ shoulders to grip his narrow waist over the leather jacket. When Luis hummed in approval and arched into him, Leon wanted nothing more than to rut against him until they both forgot what they’d even been arguing about in the first place.
Unfortunately, they had more important things to get to than making out while Leon suffered an internal moral dilemma. When Leon reluctantly pulled away from the kiss, both men were panting for breath and Luis was blinking rapidly, like he could scarcely believe that had happened.
“I have to say, that was not what I was expecting,” Luis said.
Leon hesitated; there was so much he still wanted to talk about, but this was neither the time nor the place. The Plaga was raging inside Leon, slowly killing him, and Ashley couldn't be faring any better.
“I don't know what you expect me to do with all that information,” Leon said. “I’m… still pretty pissed off—”
“Understandable.”
“But I don't hate you. Even though I probably should.” Leon sighed. “I just… I've lost too many people.” He gripped Luis' jacket tight over his waist, hopefully conveying the meaning of I can't lose you too.
Luis laughed, the sound fake and ugly. “Oh amigo, there is no future for me. Even if I somehow make it out of this shithole, there are now two governments who want me out of the picture. And I doubt anyone will believe that I only wanted to help people, since not even you—"
Luis closed his eyes and took a breath and Leon resisted the urge to shake him, to force the whole story out of Luis and beg him to at least try to make Leon understand his past decisions.
When Luis opened his eyes and looked at Leon, his gaze was hollow. Leon had seen that look many times before; like a soldier who knew he would not be returning from the war, but who wanted to make every bullet count nonetheless.
"My story is one of hubris, and it does not have a happy ending," Luis said with bone-chilling certainty. "Best case scenario, I'll be behind bars for the rest of my life. Worst case—”
“No,” Leon said, hands balling into fists by Luis’ sides. “I won't let that happen. I'll get you out, you and Ashley, and—and I'll vouch for you, and the president…”
“Ha!” A bark of laughter came from behind them and Leon startled and stepped back. “Oh rookie, just as dumb as the day they brought you in.”
Leon recognized that voice, but there was no way…
"Who's there!?" Leon called, positioning himself in front of Luis. "Show yourself!"
In a blur of movement, none other than Major Krauser, Leon's mentor of four years and presumed dead for two, jumped down from a support beam overhead and landed neatly on his feet.
“You really think the government cares about one soldier? Or even a dozen?” Krauser said. “We’re expendable to them. You think good ol' POTUS would ever care what you have to say? Don’t make me laugh.”
For a brief moment, Leon considered that he was dreaming or having some sort of Plaga-induced hallucination. Even if Krauser was somehow miraculously alive, there was no reason for him to be here, in some rural Spanish village and crashing Leon’s solo mission.
“Cat got your tongue, rookie?” Krauser grinned, showing teeth. “Or did you lose it down your whore's throat?”
“Oye, rude,” Luis muttered. “This whore has a name, you know.”
Luis’ voice pulled Leon back to the present. Clearly this wasn't a hallucination if the Spaniard was sassing Krauser back.
“Major,” Leon said as levelly as he could manage. “What's going on? You were declared KIA two years ago."
“Fucking hell, you really are clueless,” Krauser sneered. “Four years of training with the best and you're still just a blue-eyed little kid. I should've offed you when I had the chance; would've been easy to make it look like an accident.”
The puzzle pieces started clicking into place in Leon’s head: blacked-out documents and the fact that Krauser's body had never been found. Modern military weapons scattered around an old Spanish village. Ashley’s kidnapping under the nose of some of the best agents in the world.
It had all been Krauser.
“I’m doing you a favor, really.” Krauser grinned, shifting his posture in an all-too familiar way. “Putting a weak, useless animal out of its misery.”
Just as Krauser surged forward, Leon reached for his gun—only he was too slow. In one lightning-quick move, Krauser’s knife was pressed to Leon’s throat and an arm restrained him from behind.
“Leon!” Luis yelled, pulling his pistol.
“Rookie mistake,'' Krauser ground out in Leon's ear, backing up and using him as a human shield. “A knife is always faster.”
“Luis, run!” Leon grit out, struggling against the hold. “I’ve got this!”
“I wouldn't do that,” Krauser said, now addressing Luis. “Unless you wanna see the pretty boy's throat slit.”
Leon felt the tip of the knife break skin and a drop of blood run down his throat. Luis’ grip faltered on his pistol, but he was making no move to escape.
“What are you doing? Go! Get the hell out of here!” Leon yelled.
After the conversation they'd just had, there was no telling what Luis would do. Men prepared to be sent to the gallows rarely made rational decisions, especially when the lives of their friends were concerned.
“What do you want, yanqui?” Luis' voice was surprisingly calm as he addressed Krauser.
“Just recovering stolen goods,” Krauser spat. “Hand over the amber.”
“Major, you don't have to do this!” Leon tried. “Snap out of it! If it's the parasite—”
“Shut up, brat!” Krauser elbowed Leon sharply in the spine and he bit back a pained grunt.
“Okay!” Luis said. He reached into his jacket and held something in his hand: a test tube glimmering with orange. “You want this, yes? I give it to you, and he goes unharmed.”
“Smart boy.” Krauser was smirking. “See, Leon? Smart boys know when they're outmatched.”
“Respectfully, Major, fuck you!” Leon kicked at Krauser, but only managed to hit his knee pad.
“Then here,” Luis said. He rolled over the tube, until it stopped at Krauser’s combat boots.
Without warning, Leon was thrown across the room and made impact with the cliff wall next to the elevator they’d just arrived in. He cursed as his shoulder took the brunt of the hit but quickly scrambled to right himself on the rocky floor.
“That's it, alright,” Krauser said, clinking his knife against the test tube now in his hands. Then he grinned, in a pure sadistic glee that made the hairs on Leon’s neck stand up. “Good thing our deal was only for his life.”
In one fluid move Leon had seen countless times before, Krauser threw his knife with impossible speed, and Leon only needed to see a shimmer of metal to know that it was heading straight for Luis' jugular.
Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. The knife sailed through the air, too fast for Leon to warn Luis or throw himself in the way, and soon it would land in Luis' throat with a sickening squelch—
A shot rang out and with a clang of metal meeting metal, the knife embedded itself into a nearby crate instead.
Stunned silent, Leon stared at Luis: still with his pistol in hand, eyes wide in shock. Abruptly, Leon remembered their time at the shooting gallery and how good of a shot Luis actually was. Since he’d already had his pistol drawn, he must have acted purely on reflex to deflect the knife.
Leon looked back at Krauser while reaching for his own combat knife, anticipating a follow-up attack, but the former Major was already gone.
Knowing the immediate danger was over, Leon allowed himself to sag back against the cave wall in relief.
“Well, that was something,” Luis said, walking closer while glancing over his shoulder, pistol still in hand. “Are you alright, cariño?”
The casual endearment was like a warm caress after being dunked in ice water. Leon barked out a somewhat hysterical laugh, giddy with adrenaline and the pure absurdity of the situation,
“Yeah,” Leon said once he'd composed himself, meeting Luis' quizzical gaze. “I'm okay.”
Luis raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you didn't hit your head too hard on the stone?"
"I'm sure," Leon said. “Just processing all the shit that went down."
“Fair enough.” Luis sat himself down next to Leon, then turned to him with a grin. “Did you see that shot!?”
Luis gestured at Krauser’s knife with a trembling hand and his smile had a manic edge to it. It looked like Leon wasn't the only one dealing with adrenaline jitters.
Leon smiled. “It was a nice shot.”
“Oh, a compliment? And a smile?” Luis teased. “I'll never let you live this down, Prince Charming.”
Leon huffed a dry chuckle, reveling in the familiar banter. “Don't get too used to it.”
“I, ehm.” Instead of a witty retort, Luis took a few pointed breaths, making Leon snap back to attention. “I actually think that you pulling me back to kiss me stupid just saved me from certain death,” Luis eventually said.
He had a point: Krauser had clearly been lying in ambush for them. He could have easily killed Leon had he wanted to, yet it was obvious that Luis and the tube—the amber?—had been his target.
“I need a smoke,” Luis announced.
Leon watched Luis’ trembling fingers procure a cigarette and then fumble with the lighter, dropping it on the ground with a soft curse.
Leon grabbed the lighter before Luis could. Even if he didn’t normally approve of smoking, a near-death encounter surely warranted an exception.
“Let me,” Leon murmured.
Luis nodded and leaned in. Leon flicked the lighter and held the flame steady, and soon Luis was dragging his first shaky inhale of nicotine.
“That’s better,” Luis said. “Much better.”
Leon placed the lighter back in Luis' still trembling hand and closed his fingers around it. He stamped down on the worry over seeing the man so obviously rattled: Luis being shaky with adrenaline was infinitely better than his throat gurgling as he choked on his own blood.
“I’m glad you're okay,” Leon said.
Luis grinned around his cigarette. “Come now, I can't leave my Sancho to save the princess alone. That would make a terrible story.”
Despite his attempted nonchalance, Luis intertwined their fingers around the lighter and squeezed, hard enough to almost hurt. Leon squeezed back; a silent I'm here. We're alright.
“The story needs its Don Quixote,” Leon agreed.
Luis laughed, and even if it was a little forced, it seemed like he was returning to himself.
“And here I thought my references were flying right over your head,” Luis teased.
“Maybe there's more to me than just the trauma,” Leon said.
Luis smiled fondly. “Mi vida, you are so much more than a handsome face and great ass…kicking skills.”
Luis winked and Leon huffed a laugh before getting to his feet.
“Come on,” Leon said, extending a hand. “Smoke break's over.”
Luis sighed but took the offered hand and let Leon pull him up. “Mierda, I nearly died and two minutes is all the break I get? You wound me, querido.”
Leon hesitated. “You could wait with the merchant—”
“Psht, I was only joking." Luis waved off the concern. “I have to protect my squire from the giants.”
The sentiment made Leon smile. Luis arched an eyebrow in response, before pointedly snuffing out his cigarette on the rock and looking up through his lashes.
Not able to resist the obvious invitation, Leon leaned in—
And his communicator rang. Fantastic.
“Leon,” Ada's voice came through. “Still in one piece? Good.”
Of course she'd cracked his comms frequency. Of course she was checking in now, when Leon had fought through hell and back and been double-crossed more times than he cared to remember.
“What the hell, Ada!?” Leon snapped.
Both Luis startling next to him and the tense silence from the other end spoke volumes of how uncharacteristic it was for Leon to lose his temper like this. At least with her.
“You're working with Krauser!? He's delusional, Ada—whatever your employer's claiming, he's fucking lost it. He even tried to kill Luis!” Leon said.
Ada was silent for a beat, then calmly asked, “What?”
Luis' chin came to rest on Leon's shoulder, speaking into the earpiece. “Holá, bonita,” Luis said. “A little bump in the road: the former Major just tried to murder me, but he settled for the Plaga sample. Since he has the amber, I assume this means our deal is over.”
“Murder—” Ada said. “Leon, put Serra on the line.”
Leon obediently handed his earpiece over, trying to ignore how easily he was going along with her request.
Luis put some distance between them and listened to Ada while nodding along whatever she was saying. Then, “Do not yell at me!” Luis exclaimed, gesticulating wildly even though Ada couldn't see him. “He would have killed us both! And trust me, I am very interested in curing our prince, but I can't do that while dead, hm?”
With that, Luis held the communicator out to Leon with a sardonic smile. “It's for you.”
"A bump in the road, huh?” Leon said, placing the device in his ear.
"Krauser is nothing but a means to an end that forgot his place," Ada said even more icily than usual, and Leon could hear the distinct cock of a gun. "Your girl is being held at the clocktower."
With that, the line cut out as Ada disappeared in her typical fashion. At least she'd provided them with new intel.
Luis nudged Leon's side and smirked. “Women, eh?”
Leon snorted. “Don't let her hear you say that.”
“She seems awfully fond of you,” Luis said. “For a heartless mercenary, anyway.”
“Yeah, well, jury says I've got shitty taste in women.” Leon paused, then added, “And men, apparently.”
Luis' smile widened into a grin, not seeming to take any offense. “And boy, does that work in my favor.” He clapped a hand on Leon’s shoulder. “Now come, Sancho, the princess awaits!”
“Not so fast,” Leon said, brushing off the hand. “You can tell me all about your little deal with Ada while we walk.”
“Ah, mierda.” Luis scratched his neck, smiling sheepishly. “You see, when I was planning my escape and had no idea that I would find a very strong, very beautiful American agent to protect me—”
Leon rolled his eyes and nudged Luis to make him start walking, already strapping in for a long and needlessly complicated story.
And if Leon stayed much closer to Luis than before and silently vowed to protect him better, well, that was nobody's business but his own.
After saving the day and rescuing the girl, Leon and Luis take some time to celebrate.

"—And then he told me it probably wasn't my first time running from creeps," Ashley said, scrunching up her nose. "I think he meant it as a compliment?"
Luis threw his head back and laughed, high-pitched and grating like a hyena.
"Dios mío!" Luis said, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye. "Really doesn't have a clue how to talk to women, our Leon."
"Yeah." Ashley’s lips pulled up in a half-smile. "I thought agents were supposed to be smooth."
"Hmm, probably used to only flexing the muscles and having every señorita throw themselves at him,” Luis said.
"Oh, my sorority sisters would have been all over that," Ashley said. "Luckily some of us señoritas prefer brains over brawn."
Luis visibly perked up at that. "Say…" He put his elbow on the table and rested his chin on his hand, smiling sweetly. "Did I tell you that I have a doctoral degree?"
Ashley laughed and slapped Luis' forearm over the table. "Then you should be smart enough to know you're way too old for me."
"Ouch, bonita," Luis sighed dramatically and put a hand over his heart. "My manly pride, it is wounded. But I respect your decision."
"Thank you," Ashley said. "Now if you could teach 'no means no' to certain weirdo agents who keep trying acrobatics to peek up your skirt even after you told him you're not interested—"
"I was suplexing an enemy who tried to capture you!” Leon finally snapped from the other side of the room. “Because rather than run away from the danger, you ran towards him!"
Ashley crossed her arms with a huff. "You still looked while you were down there."
"Oh, for the love of—!" Leon grit his teeth and turned to keep watch out of the cabin’s window.
Out of the corner of his eye, Leon saw Luis lean over the table to stage-whisper to Ashley.
"I think he is angry that we are talking about him like he isn't here," Luis said.
“I think he’s angry that he’s got no game,” Ashley whispered back.
“He is angry that the two people he spent forty-eight hours straight protecting would rather talk shit than get the sleep they desperately need,” Leon grumbled.
“Ah, there is our Leon,” Luis said. “He is all…hmm. What is the opposite of kill them with kindness?”
“Protect them with…rudeness?” Ashley suggested.
Luis snapped his fingers. “Exactamente.”
Leon groaned and barely resisted the urge to bury his head in his hands.
“Anyway…” Ashley said, rising from her chair. “I really should get some rest. Early wake-up tomorrow, right?”
Leon nodded. “The chopper should be here at 0700.”
“And you’re sure you two will be alright down here?” Ashley asked as she walked to the stairs leading to the second floor of the cabin. “There’s just one bed…”
“Oh, I assure you—” Luis started smugly.
“We’ll sleep in shifts,” Leon interrupted. “Someone’s got to keep watch.”
“If you say so,” Ashley said. “Um…night, then.”
“Night.”
“Goodnight, mi princesa.”
Ashley smiled at them both before disappearing upstairs to the small bedroom Leon had cleared out for her earlier.
The cabin they'd chosen to spend the night in was far from luxurious, but it had shelter and beds and that was all they could ask for. Hunnigan had been elated to learn of the mission's success, but due to Mike's untimely demise, she’d regretfully informed them that another helicopter wouldn't be arriving until the morning.
Even if waiting wasn’t ideal, they could all be faring much worse. Leon was just happy that Ashley was smiling again. Even after the parasite and cult shit, she was okay; she wouldn’t end up scarred and broken like Leon after Raccoon City.
And it was all thanks to the man who cured them.
“So…” Luis walked up to stand behind Leon, a hand running over his shoulders. “Alone at last, eh?”
Leon's mouth twitched up into a smile that Luis couldn’t see. “Bold of you to assume I'd still let you touch me like that.”
“Seeing as you haven’t punched me yet, I will take my chances,” Luis said.
When Leon didn’t reply, Luis sighed and stepped around him to lean against the windowsill Leon’s chair was pulled up to.
“I am sensing that there's something you want to say,” Luis said.
“About what?” Leon said, gaze firmly on the window. “You lying to me? Developing bioweapons for an evil corporation as a living? Helping a madman with his quest for world domination? Or just working with Ada behind my back this entire time?”
“Well, yes, but—”
Leon finally met Luis’ eyes with an icy glare. “How about the fact that you handed over your research and a world-ending parasite to the highest bidder again?”
Luis winced and averted his eyes. “Yes. That.”
Only a few hours ago, Luis had told Leon not only the truth about who he really was and what he had done, both at Umbrella and for Los Illuminados. After the close call with Krauser in the mines, he'd then spilled the rest of the story about Ada and his involvement with the mysterious Organization.
Anger had gripped Leon at first, lashing out because that betrayal stung more than any of Luis' shady past. Luis claimed to want to change, yet he'd been prepared to sell his knowledge to someone possibly even worse than Saddler and Umbrella combined.
Leon was so tired of being double-crossed; so tired of realizing that every time he thought he'd found something, it proved to be nothing but them using him—
In retrospect, he hadn't really been yelling at just Luis.
But now, late at night inside a rickety cabin in a pocket of peace and quiet… Leon was so very tired, and he didn’t have the energy to be angry. After everything they'd been through together, Leon couldn’t bring himself to hate Luis.
Luis had fought back-to-back with Leon for days. He'd helped save Ashley and had put his own neck on the line to get them the suppressants before accompanying him to the lab full of monsters to treat them. And after Saddler’s defeat, when Ada had run off with the amber and yelled at Luis to get in the helicopter to complete her end of the bargain, Luis had instead opted to stay to make sure Leon and Ashley made it out from the crumbling island.
“I'm not angry,” Leon said.
Luis’ head snapped back up. “What?”
“I'm still annoyed that you lied to me,” Leon said. “But I'm not mad that you made mistakes when you thought you had no other choice. We all do.”
“But….but—” Luis floundered, seeming genuinely confused.
Leon wasn't blind to the guilt that sometimes shone through Luis’ flirty smiles and easy banter. He’d seen all the times Luis' face twisted in sympathy when Ashley coughed up more blood, before he hurried to the girl's side and offered a handkerchief. He’d also noticed how Luis had seemed the most relieved of them all after he treated Leon and Ashley and killed the parasites inside of them.
There was no denying that Luis had made horrific mistakes in his life. Yet, ever since Leon met him, he'd done nothing but try to help. Whether Luis kept information or not—realistically, there were probably still things he wasn't telling them—it was obvious he'd come to care for both of them, and Leon owed Luis both his and Ashley's lives.
Luis had almost died for him more times than Leon wanted to remember. And Leon was so, so glad that he didn't.
“I trust you. You've gotten us this far,” Leon said. When Luis still frowned, he continued, “We're good, Luis.”
“We…are?” Luis was starting to smile again, some of his usual cockiness returning. “And here I thought I would have to atone for my sins in some other, creative ways.”
The suggestive smirk made Leon snort even as heat stirred between his legs. Their previous encounters had been so colossally stupid—you were chained to another prisoner and your first reaction was to frot against him, what the fuck, Kennedy—yet he couldn’t bring himself to regret those, either.
“Maybe not the time for that kind of thing,” Leon said.
“On the contrary, amigo, I think this is the perfect time,” Luis said. “We even have a bed!”
Luis gestured across the room to where the sad, narrow bed with yellowing sheets was situated.
“Yeah, that belongs to one of the corpses lying outside,” Leon huffed, looking back out of the window. Once they’d gotten back from the island, it was like the whole village had dropped dead with the dominant plaga gone. "Not exactly setting the mood."
“Oh, do not look at the corpses,” Luis said, drawing the curtains closed. “The souls of those poor bastards are grateful to be free from the Plaga's influence. This is cause for celebration!”
Leon stared impassively and opened the curtain back up. “I'll celebrate once we're back on US soil,” he said.
Luis sighed and sidled up behind Leon to practically drape himself over Leon’s back.
“Mi príncipe, you are so tense,” Luis said, massaging the meat of his shoulder. “There is nothing out there that will hurt us anymore. "We won, Sancho.”
Logically, Leon knew he was right: Saddler, Salazar and Krauser were all dead and this was a time to relax. But with the cadavers littering the streets and an ancient parasite still sprawling underground, Leon wasn't able to let his guard down just yet.
Luis leaned in, lips brushing against the shell of Leon's ear as he murmured, "Let me help you relax, hm?"
Leon sighed and grabbed Luis' chin before turning to face him. And for the first time since they'd met, he really looked at the man who had charmed himself into Leon’s pants.
Luis' now-unruly hair fell slightly into his face and gave him an even more disheveled look than usual. His eyes were tired and had dark circles around them, yet the corners crinkled when he smiled. Luis' tanned skin was splotchy with dust, sweat and dirt, but he still preened under Leon's gaze—like he knew he was attractive, even with the days' worth of grime.
Luis bit his chapped lip and lowered his lashes in an obvious invitation, the faux-innocent smile turning into a meaningful smirk.
But Leon now saw everything that lay hidden under the familiar smugness. He saw the sad little boy who had watched his home go up in flames; the bright-eyed young scientist who had been desperate to prove himself; the man who had made too many mistakes to count and was now doing everything in his power to make up for them.
"No," Leon finally said.
The disappointment flashing in Luis' expressive eyes made his heart twinge. Luis made to pull away with some mumbled excuse but Leon cupped his cheek more firmly to keep him in place, earning a confused stare.
“You've already done so much,” Leon said. “Let me take care of you.”
Luis’ smile instantly returned and his face felt warm in Leon's hand. “I think the dozens of times you have saved me from certain death counts as taking care of me,” he said.
“I could say the same about you,” Leon shot back.
“Oh-ho, are we acknowledging that I am also a very capable fighter?” Luis teased. “In addition to being incredibly charming and amazing with a pistol, of course.”
Leon felt a smile forming. “Don't tell anyone,” he said, then brushed his thumb over Luis' cheek and lowered his voice. “Let me do this for you, okay?”
Luis’ gaze flitted over Leon’s face and his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Finally, he grinned, seeming to have found whatever answer he was looking for.
“Well, if a beautiful man like you offers, who am I to say no?” Luis said.
Leon didn’t budge. “I'd still like a yes.”
“Mierda, you're really going to make me spell it out?“
Luis’ eye roll was the last thing Leon registered before he was grabbed by the straps of his chest holster and roughly pulled closer, until Luis’ face was hovering right in front of him.
“Take me to bed, querido,” Luis murmured, his lips brushing against Leon’s.
Leon didn’t need to be told twice.
His lips crashed against Luis’ as he surged up on his feet, making the other man moan and stumble backwards in surprise. Leon balanced both of them while firmly walking Luis across the room, not once breaking the rough kiss.
Once Luis’ legs hit the frame of the bed Leon shoved him down to sit on it. Luis went willingly but pulled Leon down with him, until Leon had a knee on the bed between Luis’ spread legs and Luis had to crane his neck to keep trading heated kisses.
Luis made enthusiastic sounds all throughout the kiss that got muffled by Leon’s mouth on his. However, when Leon’s mouth ventured lower to nibble on his neck, Luis groaned loudly.
Too loudly.
“We have to keep quiet,” Leon whispered, kissing Luis' stubbled jaw instead.
“I can be quiet,” Luis hissed. “It's you that I'm worried about.”
Leon pulled back just enough to give him a skeptical stare.
“Oh, fine,” Luis relented. “Gag me then, would you?”
“But…” Leon hesitated. “Can't you just…you know, hold back?”
“Oh, I see how it is,” Luis said with a smirk. “Admit it: you enjoy hearing me talk.”
Leon huffed out a quiet laugh. “Yeah. God help me, but I do.”
“Mm, I knew it—”
“Probably just a side effect from the Plaga, though,” Leon deadpanned.
Luis’ eyes widened and Leon immediately feared that was a step too far. Thankfully, Luis just bowed his head and wheezed with silent laughter.
“Seeing as it also apparently gave you a sense of humor, I am not complaining,” Luis said.
Leon chuckled and shook his head. “So, any lingering transmission of that thing…”
“No need to worry,” Luis said. “The treatment took care of it—it fried the whole parasite, and now you’ll only need a minor surgery to remove whatever is left of its disintegrated body. There’s no possibility of infection: even if you puked a liter of blood into an open wound of mine, nothing would happen.”
Leon raised an eyebrow at Luis going into science-mode again. “Yeah, you'd know, wouldn't you?” he said.
Rather than run along with the joke, Luis just smiled sadly. “Yes.”
Crap; Leon really should have known better than to push the subject. Despite them poking fun at the whole situation, the guilt still weighed heavily in Luis' every action, from the documents Leon had read in his lab during Ashley's treatment to the way he adamantly still blamed himself for Leon’s infection.
“Hey.” Leon pecked Luis’ lips, trying to kiss the worry from them. “You've already helped us so much. You've done enough.“
Luis swallowed and for a second looked like he wanted to argue.
In the end, he simply sighed and smiled sadly again. “If you say so,” Luis said.
So Leon cradled Luis’ head and kissed him again, more firmly this time, until Luis got the memo and returned the kiss with a soft moan.
“Now, you mentioned something about taking care of me?” Luis said, smiling when Leon pulled away. “Did that just mean petting my head and calling me a good boy, or were you actually planning to get on with it…?”
Luis lifted his hips and shamelessly rubbed the bulge between his legs against Leon’s thigh.
Leon huffed and pushed himself off the bed. “Just gimme a minute.”
After a careful glance upstairs to check that the bedroom door was closed and no sounds could be heard indicating that Ashley was awake, Leon quietly sneaked back down the creaky stairs.
Leon disarmed himself of his guns and holsters and placed them onto the dining table in a neat row, comforted by the fact that Luis’ Red9 lay on the bedside table within arm’s reach if they needed it.
When Leon made his way back to the bed, Luis had already made himself comfortable on it. He was sitting with his back against the headboard and his long legs sprawled out on the flimsy mattress, leaving very little room for Leon to join him.
So it was only natural for Leon to climb in and straddle him.
"Oh, yes," Luis grinned up at him, immediately palming Leon’s pectorals through his T-shirt. "Now this is what I'm talking about."
Leon slapped Luis’ wrist. "Hands to yourself unless I say otherwise."
"Aww." Luis actually pouted at that, sticking out his bottom lip in a ridiculous manner. "But I want to touch you, mi príncipe."
"You'll get to next time,'' Leon promised, not missing the way Luis perked up at the promise of a next time. "This time we do it my way."
Luis leaned back against the headboard and spread his hands with a lazy smile. “Then I'm all yours.”
Arousal curled low in Leon’s belly at the way Luis so easily gave into him. Suddenly feeling a lot less patient, Leon efficiently stripped Luis out of his ugly jacket and took great pleasure in blindly tossing it over his shoulder—hopefully somewhere far, far away.
“You really have a vendetta against my jacket, don’t you?” Luis said.
Leon smirked and moved to the buttons of Luis’ shirt. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
He swiftly unbuttoned the once-white dress shirt and pushed it open to expose Luis’ torso.
Leon’s brain stuttered at the sight. Luis was all sun-kissed skin and lithe muscle, the dark hair on his chest tapering off into a thin line at his belly before disappearing beneath his pants.
Leon ran his hand over Luis’ chest and marveled at how different the dark curls felt from his own sparse body hair. His brain didn’t seem to know whether to be turned on or jealous: Leon had never even been able to grow a full beard and here Luis was, with his dark stubble and hairy chest and oozing effortless masculinity.
Luis raised an eyebrow while Leon kept petting his chest. “Having fun?”
“Just getting my payback from the shooting range,” Leon said, then pinched a dusky nipple.
“Ah,” Luis gasped, but his signature smirk quickly returned. “Unfortunately, not even a handsome man like myself can quite compare when it comes to your…gifted physique.”
“I think you look just fine,” Leon said.
“Oh?” Luis grinned. “Do tell me more.”
Leon rolled his eyes as he lowered his head to kiss at Luis’ collarbone. “Now you’re just fishing for compliments,” he murmured against the skin.
Luis chuckled and Leon used the time to kiss his way down Luis’ chest, stopping briefly to nuzzle into the thick hair and breathe in the musky scent.
“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?” Luis said, pure smugness in his voice. “If I knew it would make you react like this, I would have taken off my shirt a long time ago, Sancho.”
Rather than answer verbally, Leon licked over a nipple and then unceremoniously tugged at it with his teeth.
A surprised moan punched out of Luis. “Dios mío, Leon. Who knew you had such a mouth on you?”
You’re one to talk, Leon thought, flicking his tongue over the nub trapped between his teeth while rubbing his thumb over its neglected twin.
Luis’ head fell back against the headboard as he let out a low groan, his hands coming up to tangle in Leon’s hair. Leon probably shouldn’t have been surprised that it took him less than five minutes to forget the whole no-touching thing. Damn expressive Europeans.
Leon smiled to himself and hummed against Luis’ chest, earning a happy sigh as Luis arched into the touch. Taking the hint, Leon sucked at the nipple in earnest—
And then let out a startled moan as Luis, the little shit, bent his leg just enough to press it against Leon’s trapped erection.
“Careful, now.” Luis looked down at him with a smug grin, his shin still massaging Leon’s bulge. “Wouldn't want to wake the little princess with those moans.”
“Stop that,” Leon scolded, pinning Luis’ legs back onto the bed. “This is supposed to be about you.”
"What can I say? I’m a giver,” Luis said. At Leon’s impassive glare, he eventually sighed and rolled his eyes. “Fine, fine. Do your worst.”
“As long as you keep quiet and behave,” Leon said pointedly.
Leon only saw a faux-innocent smile before he redirected his attention to the task at hand, making quick work of Luis’ jeans and tugging them down just enough to free his erection.
“Ah,” Luis gasped as Leon immediately wrapped his hand around the hard shaft. “There is that military efficiency I was expecting.”
“I’m sorry, did you need me to buy you dinner first?” Leon shot back.
Luis chuckled, then groaned as Leon went back to mouthing at his nipple while giving a firm tug on his dick.
Leon was fully prepared to lavish Luis’ chest and cock with attention until the man came apart underneath him. He kept biting and licking Luis’ nipples while working a hand over his erection, starting slow and then picking up the pace when Luis hardened even further in his hand and ring-covered fingers tightened in his hair.
Luis, miraculously, managed to keep his noises down to hitching moans and quiet whispers of endearment. The snarky comments had been replaced by sweet nothings murmured in Spanish, and at some point Leon should probably let Luis know that he actually knew the language fairly well.
But when Luis let out quiet sobs of pleasure and whispered, "Oh, darling, you're so sweet, you make me feel so good” in his native language, well, Leon might be a little selfish and want to keep hearing those things.
Luis’ body was already tensing up and Leon could tell he was getting close. On impulse, Leon licked over the scar on his chest, and—
“Leon,” Luis moaned desperately, his hips jumping up to thrust into Leon’s fist. “Leon, god, fuck me.”
Leon let out a surprised grunt of arousal and his hips thrust forward of their own accord.
“Yes, I have—I have vaseline,” Luis said, his pitch desperate. “I need you inside me, Leon, please.”
Leon could vividly imagine that: he could see Luis' naked legs spread wantonly, see himself slicking up his cock and sliding into the tight heat of Luis’ ass as Luis threw his head back and tried to muffle a sinful moan—
“No,” Leon said firmly. He thumbed the leaking slit of Luis' cock; it wouldn’t take much for him to come, and this was really not the place…
Luis let out an honest to god whimper at being denied. ”Joder, why not? I will be quick, I promise, no stretching needed!”
Leon's dick throbbed insistently at the image but he sighed and pushed himself up to hover at eye level with Luis.
“Because,” Leon said firmly. “This is risky enough as it is, but at least I can listen for anyone outside the cabin and be ready to fight in half a second.”
Luis blinked in confusion, the arousal clearly slowing down that genius brain. “Eh?”
“There's too much at stake to get caught with my pants down and miss an ambush,” Leon said. “We don't know what potential survivors are doing with the cult gone and when any looters might show up. The explosions from the island would have traveled hundreds of miles over the water, and I'm not risking yours or Ashley’s safety just to get my dick wet.”
Luis’ confusion slowly made way for a smile, and then he was leaning up to kiss Leon.
“Oh, you stupidly chivalrous Sancho,” Luis said, his voice fond. “And here I thought I had a martyr complex.”
“Yeah, well,” Leon said, then grabbed Luis’ slightly flagging dick. “I can still do this for you. But not that.”
“Mm,” Luis moaned when Leon gently stroked the overheated flesh. “I am not saying that I am opposed to that, but a suggestion, if I may?”
“Shoot.”
“Fuck me against the window,” Luis said, and Leon nearly choked on his own spit. “You have a good vantage point and a great view; a two for one deal.”
Leon swallowed. “Luis…”
“And you don't even have to undress!” Luis kept going. “You just have to unzip enough to get your…equipment out. I'm the one who is required to be ass-naked and, let me assure you, I fight no less well without pants. I might actually fight better, now that I think about it—those things are more for style than function.”
Something in Leon’s chest softened at Luis’ obvious consideration. This really wasn’t how he’d planned the night to go: straddling a half-naked Luis with said man’s half-hard dick in his hand while Luis rambled on about a potential compromise to Leon’s paranoia—just so Leon would fuck him.
“Okay,” Leon said.
The perplexed look on Luis’ face let him know it was just as surprising for both of them that Leon had agreed so easily.
Luis smiled hesitantly. “Yes?”
“Yeah,” Leon agreed. “But I’m not doing it against a fucking window when there’s a perfectly good bed here.”
Luis shrugged. “I really don’t mind. Maybe the looters will be too busy enjoying the show to attack us?”
Leon snorted. “All the more reason to stay in bed. And I…” He hesitated, suddenly unsure. “I want it to be good for you.”
The awkwardness definitely wasn’t made better by the way Luis’ whole face lit up in a gleeful smile.
“Oh, Prince Charming,” Luis cooed, sitting up enough to cradle Leon’s face in his hands. “I knew you were a romantic at heart.”
Leon averted his eyes and gave a one-shoulder shrug even as he felt heat bloom on his cheeks. So he was a little sentimental when it came to their first time going all the way: sue him.
“No, no, mi príncipe, don’t be embarrassed,” Luis said and leaned in for a brief kiss. “Just tell me how you want me, and I am yours.”
Leon glanced around the room and briefly channeled his tactical mindset. “I want us both to have a vantage point of both the door and the window, and I’m gonna get my TMP and a frag to put by your pistol where we can easily reach them.”
Luis smiled. “Spooning it is, then.”
“That works.” Leon gave him a small, grateful smile before getting out of bed. “I’ll be right back.”
Luis winked. “Trust me, I am not going anywhere.”
While retrieving his weapons, Leon took the opportunity to double-check the padlock they’d put on the door as well as take one last look out of the window.
He was relieved to see nothing out of the ordinary in the still-lifeless streets of the village. Leon might be paranoid, but it had served him well so far: never assume that you've won, or a rotting Del Lago might crawl up from the lake and swallow the whole cabin in one go. Still, it was nice that Luis was humoring him.
Speaking of Luis…
A particularly needy moan from the other side of the room tore Leon’s attention from the window. He turned to face the bed—
And whatever blood remained in his brain promptly rushed south.
Luis was already naked save for his dress shirt still hanging open by his sides. His legs were bent at the knees and spread obscenely, giving Leon a clear view of two of his fingers disappearing into the tight furl of his hole.
“You were taking too long,” Luis said breathlessly but still managed a smirk. “I started without you.”
And when it came to the choice of staring at the rotting corpses outside or joining a beautiful, naked man in bed, Leon was only human.
In record time, Leon crossed the room, placed his weapons on the nightstand and kneeled on the foot of the bed, getting a close-up view of Luis’ fingers sliding in to the knuckles.
Leon swallowed and hovered his hand between Luis’ legs. “Can I?” Leon asked.
Luis tossed him the small container of vaseline with his free hand. “By all means, querido."
Leon quickly slicked his fingers and hoped Luis couldn’t see how much they were trembling. When Luis pulled his own digits out, his hole winked, making Leon’s face flame hot.
“If you’re just going to watch…” Luis said.
Leon took a slightly trembling breath and grabbed Luis’ tanned thigh to steady them both. His other hand lowered between Luis’ legs to tease a slick finger around his hole.
Luis gasped, his rim twitching against Leon’s touch. “Leon…”
Leon pushed with two fingers and the muscle gave, his digits slipping into snug tightness. He heard a heady moan and couldn't tell which one of them made the sound.
Leon’s fingers easily slid knuckle-deep and he couldn’t resist pumping them in and out a few times. Luis was so warm and soft inside, and Leon hooked his fingers and blindly pressed along his walls, looking for—
“Come on,” Luis said, yanking on Leon’s wrist until his fingers slid out. “Enough teasing, I'm ready.”
“O-okay,” Leon said, voice cracking, then cleared his throat. “Okay.”
Luis smiled knowingly and Leon redirected his focus to unzipping his pants and shuffling into position beside Luis.
Leon turned on his side and pushed on Luis’ shoulder to make him do the same, then hooked an arm around Luis’ thigh to pull him closer across the bed.
"Oh," Luis breathed. "Have I told you how sexy it is that you can just manhandle me as you please? Because if I haven't, I'm telling you now."
Leon huffed and squeezed the meaty part of Luis' thigh, still holding his leg up. "Glad to hear it."
With his free hand, Leon slicked up his cock, then snaked his arm under Luis’ neck to pillow his head and shuffled closer until his chest pressed against the thin shirt covering Luis’ back. His hard cock was nestled against Luis’ crack and Leon lifted Luis’ leg to spread him, aligning his hips so his tip brushed against the slick hole, and…
And was suddenly hit by how intimate their position was. He could feel so much of Luis’ body, holding him like they were long-time lovers and not just two people fucking away post-battle jitters.
"Mm, hurry," Luis said.
Impatient as always, Luis grinded against Leon, his loosened rim catching on the head of Leon’s cock.
Leon entered him maybe a little more roughly than he’d meant to.
But Luis arched into him and groaned loud enough to echo through the whole cabin, and Leon barely remembered himself enough to slap a vaseline-covered hand over Luis’ mouth and glance at the stairs.
“Quiet,” Leon whispered. His voice was strained, his dick enveloped in clenching heat and begging for him to fuck into Luis again.
Luis nodded and Leon let his hand fall away, laying it on the pillow next to Luis’ mouth just in case.
“Mierda, you feel so good,” Luis said, his voice a quiet murmur.
Arousal licked down Leon’s spine and he dared to thrust a little deeper, making Luis’ breath hitch.
“Yes, just like that,” Luis said breathlessly. “More, Leon, please…”
Leon bit his lip to keep quiet as he slid all the way home, pushing his length into Luis until his fly was rubbing over the skin of Luis' ass.
“Fuck,” Luis panted. He trembled in Leon’s arms, his hole clenching around Leon's cock.
“Do you…” Leon grit out, fighting the building urge to move. “Can I…”
“For the love of god, fuck me already!” Luis hissed.
Leon huffed in relief and pulled almost fully out before thrusting back in. The slide in was smooth and he marveled at how easy this was, how well Luis opened up for him.
“Faster,” Luis commanded.
Leon would have laughed at the bossiness if he wasn’t too busy losing his mind over how good Luis felt. All too happy to obey, Leon picked up the pace, shallowly fucking into Luis’ pliant body.
“Fuck, cariño, yes,” Luis moaned, tightening even more around Leon’s length.
“Shit,” Leon grunted, lost in the hot wet squeeze around his cock. “You’re so tight.”
Luis let out a breathless laugh. “Don't sound so surprised, Sancho. Did you really think I went around spreading my legs for Saddler's goons? I do have standards, you know.”
Something possessive curled in Leon's chest at the thought of Luis with any of those monsters. His grip tightened on Luis' leg and he thrust in hard, punching a groan out of Luis that soothed some of the sudden jealousy.
“Dios mío, I knew you’d be amazing,” Luis murmured, choking on a groan when Leon did it again. “I wanted to hop on this American ride as soon as I saw you.”
Leon huffed and glanced at the stairs, having a silent debate with himself. When Luis moaned quietly, his eyes were instantly drawn back to the mess of a man in his arms, effectively making the decision for him.
Leon bent his leg and braced one foot on the mattress for leverage. "Then you'd better strap in," he warned.
Leon pulled out almost all the way before roughly pushing back in, giving Luis no time to adjust before setting a brutal pace and fucking him in earnest.
“Ah!” Luis gasped, hands scrabbling for purchase on the sheets as Leon’s thrusts rocked him forward. “Fuck—fuck, Leon, don’t stop.”
Leon felt a smile tugging on his lips even as sweat was starting to bead on his brow. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”
He held Luis more firmly against him as he pumped in and out, pleasure surging from the tip of his cock and up through his spine with every thrust into Luis’ now-sloppy hole.
Luis was far from passive, squirming and moaning and using what little leverage he had to meet Leon’s thrusts, fucking himself back on Leon’s cock.
“Fuck,” Leon cursed. “It’s like you were made for this.”
Luis groaned loudly at that and Leon placed his hand on his throat in warning.
“Oh,” Luis gasped. “Yes, yes, please…!”
“Stay quiet,” Leon hissed.
He pressed down just the barest amount on Luis' throat, not trusting himself to really choke with the precarious situation they were in. Luis however seemed to get off on him simply holding his hand there—at least based on the increase in his quiet moans.
The room echoed with the obscene slap of skin against skin and their muted sounds of pleasure. Leon’s muscles were starting to burn after the two days of nonstop battles but he steeled himself and kept thrusting, not faltering once from the steady pace—
Until Luis jolted like he’d been electrocuted and exclaimed, “Fuck, right there!”
Leon briefly slowed down to tilt his hips, trying to get the angle again. “Like this?”
“Yes,” Luis practically sobbed from pleasure. “That’s—oh, cariño, you're perfect.”
The praise shot straight to Leon's dick and made him choke on a moan, focusing on sliding his cock over Luis' prostate with newfound determination.
“¡Joder!” Luis rasped, his voice raw. "So good, Leon—fuck, you’re going to make me come."
Leon shuddered from arousal and did his best to keep it up, driving his cock into Luis and over that spot deep inside that had him squirming and moaning, working him closer and closer to the edge.
Unfortunately, Leon could feel himself fast approaching his own orgasm. "I'm close," he warned.
“Yes, cariño, yes,” Luis moaned, sliding his hand down to tug on his own dick.
Luis’ ass squeezed around Leon in time with the jerks of his cock, making everything too much, too hot, too good—
“Oh, shit,” Leon moaned, his thrusts erratic as he teetered on the edge. “Where do you want it?”
“Inside,'' Luis immediately said, throwing his head back. “Come in me, use me, Leon, I'm yours!”
Two more pumps into Luis’ body was all Leon could manage before the pleasure exploded. All of his muscles went rigid as he squeezed Luis’ thigh hard enough to leave bruises, groaning low in his throat as he pumped his release deep inside Luis’ clenching heat.
Luis' moan was long and breathy as Leon fucked his way through his release. Leon could see Luis’ arm flexing, frantically working over his own cock to follow Leon over the edge.
Still panting from his own orgasm, Leon pressed more firmly on Luis’ windpipe, actually cutting off some of his airflow, and then leaned in to place a kiss on his half-exposed shoulder before biting the skin—
Luis shouted a silent scream and jerked in Leon's hold, his body squeezing Leon’s softening cock almost painfully as Luis spasmed and came all over the sheets.
Leon eased up against the pressure on his throat and Luis gasped, panting for breath and shivering in Leon's arms. For a few moments, everything was quiet and still in the post-orgasmic haze, and then…
“Jesus, José y Maria,” Luis said. “You actually aren't mad at me.”
"Told you," Leon snorted. He pulled out, trying to be gentle about it, but Luis still hissed. "Sorry."
Luis looked over his shoulder with raised eyebrows. "Sorry? Mi príncipe, I should send you a fruit basket and twenty thank-you cards. That was magnifíco."
"Yeah," Leon said. "Yeah, it…it really was."
Luis sighed happily as Leon lowered his leg back to the mattress and caressed over the finger-shaped bruises he'd managed to leave behind.
"So…" Luis flopped onto his back, not seeming in any hurry to clean up. "Am I to understand that you do this with everyone who tries to double-cross you but eventually ends up helping you?"
Leon huffed and shook his head in disbelief. He should’ve known the subject of Ada would come up sooner or later.
"Me and Ada weren't like that," Leon said. At Luis' skeptical look, he added, "I mean, she'll always be my first love. Even if she was just using me during the worst night of my life, I was still hung up on her for six years."
Luis was silent for a beat, and Leon belatedly realized that talking about his sort-of-ex not even two minutes after coming inside another person was probably a major mood killer for most people.
But because Luis wasn't like most people, he simply smirked.
"First love, eh?" Luis said, a flirty glint in his eyes even as sweat matted his hair to his forehead. "I wonder what happened after those six years."
And Leon watched that knowing little smile and deep blue eyes much more wise beyond what the nonchalant facade would suggest. It was like Luis knew—like he saw right through Leon and knew that he'd once again fallen hard and fast.
Because it had taken everything out of Leon to put the mission first. And what kept him going wasn’t the thought of getting back to his ratty apartment or returning the president's daughter and getting praised as a hero…
But rather the image of that stupid smirk and whispered Spanish endearments. And every time they were close like this, every time Luis looked at him with his tired eyes and hopeful smile, it was getting harder and harder for Leon not to beg, “Please stay with me once this is over.”
Before he could say something he’d regret, Leon forced out a sarcastic huff and shoved lightly at Luis. “Don’t push your luck.”
After Leon climbed over him to return to his lookout by the window, Luis only chuckled and rolled out of bed to reach for his pants.
A moment later, Luis draped himself over Leon's back like he’d done not that long ago. Leon still didn’t push him away—not now, and not probably not ever.
"It's okay, cielito," Luis murmured, placing a kiss on the nape of Leon's neck. "I feel the same."
Leon just stared out of the window, his heart beating frantically in his chest as Luis stayed there hugging him.
“Please don’t leave,” he wanted to say. “I like it when you touch me,” would also be true, or, “I feel like I can do anything when I’m with you.”
All of those thoughts could be summed up in three words. Three tiny little words that Leon knew to be true but couldn’t bring himself to say—couldn’t even bring himself to think. Because if he did, something would go to shit again, and Luis would die, just like everyone else who got close to Leon—
“I could go for a smoke,” Luis said out of the blue.
Leon exhaled hard, something in his body loosening. He hadn’t even realized how much he’d tensed up.
“Sure,” Leon agreed.
Leon unlocked the door and followed Luis outside. Luis smoked in silence while Leon did one last check around the cabin’s exterior looking for nonexistent threats.
When they returned inside, Leon went right back to his chair by the window.
Luis didn’t look surprised as much as disappointed. “You're not coming to bed?”
“I have to keep watch,” Leon said.
Luis’ eyes softened and he smiled sadly, and Leon only then realized his mistake.
Not, “I’ll keep watch,” or, “I’ll take the first shift.”
But, “I have to keep watch.”
Leon swallowed and looked resolutely out of the window to avoid Luis’ pitying gaze.
“You should go to sleep,” Leon said, more gruffly than he meant to.
Luis sighed in an exaggerated manner. “Mierda, such a hardass.” Leon heard his footsteps approaching, before a warm hand ruffled Leon’s hair. “Have it your way, cariño.”
Leon relaxed at the familiar banter and even managed a small smile to their reflections in the window. “Night, Luis.”
Luis winked back at his reflection. “Goodnight, mi príncipe.”
With that, Luis turned and walked to the bed, and Leon heard the bed creaking as Luis threw himself onto it with a satisfied groan. Only a few minutes later, soft snoring filled the cabin; nothing like several near-death experiences followed by sex and a cigarette to knock a Luis out.
Leon's grip tightened around his pistol as he kept staring into the empty village. Even if the monsters were all in his head, he wouldn’t let his guard down.
The looters could come if they wanted to. Hell, the cult could send a mutated amalgamation of Saddler, Mendez and Salazar after him for all he cared, or the US government could try to shove Luis in jail for crimes he had repented for five times over. He'd fight them all.
Nothing would stand between Leon and protecting those he cared about.
═════════════
“—And the dynamite blew off the troll’s armor, making me save the day once again!” Luis said.
“Yeah, right,” Ashley huffed. “You totally rodeo’d on top of a monster bigger than a house.”
“Mi preciosa!” Luis gasped. “How it wounds me, a beauty like you thinking that I would lie.”
“Uh-huh. I think I’ll just ask Leon later.”
Leon smiled to himself and kept walking as the two others gossiped further behind.
He was leading them to the extraction point that Hunnigan had radioed in earlier in the morning. The night had gone by without further incident—apart from Leon nodding off in his chair and Luis' jacket mysteriously having appeared draped over him come morning—and in half an hour or so, they’d be up in the air and finally out of this godforsaken village.
“So…” Ashley said after a beat of silence.
“Yes, chica?” Luis asked.
“Was he good, or…?” Ashley trailed off.
Only years of training kept Leon’s steps from faltering. He had to be more sleep-deprived than he thought, because surely Ashley wasn't implying…?
“Hm?” Luis' voice sounded casual, but Leon could pick up on the panic undermeath. “Good at what, bonita?”
“Oh, come on,” Ashley scoffed. “If I hadn’t already noticed the two days’ worth of sexual tension, I sure as hell knew from the bed banging against the wall and ‘Yes, Leon, harder!’”
Jesus Christ, she had heard them. Luis just burst out into laughter, but Leon hoped Ashley couldn’t see that the trained professional sent to rescue her was blushing furiously.
“Oh, he was fantástico,” Luis said, no longer bothering to protest, and Leon just knew he was smirking. “Maybe once you are older, we can give you a demonstration—”
“I'm telling the president you repeatedly propositioned his daughter,” Leon said.
Ashley laughed even as Luis whined.
“Aww, querido, I thought we had something special,” Luis teased.
Leon looked over his shoulder at the man. “Then maybe you should stop flirting with other people.”
Luis actually blushed at that, his cheeks going ruddy, and Leon found that extremely interesting. “W-well, a ladies' man such as myself—” Luis started.
“Oh, can it, Casanova,” Ashley said, rolling her eyes. “I've seen you making those puppy eyes at him. Nice to know that Leon's charm just needed the right target to work.”
She smiled at Leon and something in him relaxed. Maybe Ashley knowing wouldn't be such a terrible thing after all.
“I'll have you know that I was the one who charmed him,” Luis said.
“Sure, 'amigo'.” Ashley patted his cheek. “Don't worry. I'll tell dad all about your research that saved my life and give an official recommendation that it's in the best interest of the nation for you to keep working with Agent Kennedy. You make a good team and are both great assets to our country.”
Both men looked at Ashley in confusion. She narrowed her eyes.
“You both thought I was dumb just because I'm blond and pretty, didn't you?” she accused.
Leon's mouth opened and closed but he got no words out.
“No, no, mi preciosa, of course not," Luis lied through his teeth.
Ashley rolled her eyes and sauntered past them. “Men.”
Leon and Luis merely shared a shocked look, before Luis grinned and gestured after her.
“Shall we?” Luis said.
“You sure got everything you need from the village?” Leon asked.
“Sí,” Luis said, patting the breast pocket of his jacket. On their way here, they had all made a quick detour to retrieve Luis' grandfather's journal and the only picture of the two of them together. “There is nothing more for me in Valdelobos.”
Leon nodded. “And your story?”
“Ah, Sancho, what story?” Luis grinned. When Leon frowned, he continued, “I was merely a young boy fresh out of university, recruited by one of the most prestigious employers out there! I developed medicines and researched dangerous parasites, but sadly found out that my medicines never made it to the public and that my research was used to create parasites, not treat them.”
Luis sighed exaggeratedly. “Angry at the company, I packed up my research and stole invaluable Umbrella equipment to return to my hometown and start over. Unfortunately, the village had been overrun by a madman with a mind-control parasite who captured me and forced me to work for him.”
Luis grinned and tapped his temple. “But I wasn’t born yesterday, you see. I knew that Saddler was up to no good and I secretly researched how to destroy the Plaga. When I was injected with the parasite to ensure my obedience, I tested the method on myself, and this scar is my mark of success.”
Luis tugged down his collar to expose the scar on his chest, and Leon nodded and resolutely tried not to think about his mouth on that same scar last night.
“With a successful removal procedure invented and all of my knowledge of the Plaga, I knew I could not stay under Saddler’s thumb—it was only a matter of time before they would catch on to my betrayal,” Luis said. “And with the cult occupied with a hostage of some sort, I made a break for it. Little did I know the hostage was the president’s daughter and I would end up helping to rescue her and fighting alongside Agent Kennedy to take down Los Iluminados.”
Leon huffed. Of course Luis remembered the entirety of their agreed upon cover story without trouble.
“That is no story, only the truth! It is just a shame that all the evidence exploded along with the entire island.” Luis shrugged. “Fortunately, Miss Graham and Agent Kennedy are both willing to testify when it comes to my invaluable help in saving their lives. Now, I am merely a humble refugee who also happens to be the best chance the world has to survive another outbreak of Las Plagas or Umbrella’s parasites.”
“You sure are,” Leon agreed. His mouth quirked up into a half-smile. “Someone should probably assign a high-ranking agent as your bodyguard, just in case.”
“Oh? Well if you insist,” Luis said, his fake nonchalance giving way for a knowing grin. “But you are still certain of wishing to lie to your government, mi príncipe? Could get you into trouble, somewhere down the line.”
It was a no-brainer for Leon. Ashley didn’t know the whole truth about Luis’ past and thus couldn’t even lie about it, everyone else involved with Los Iluminados was dead, and Leon couldn’t imagine Ada being interested in leaking her and Luis’ agreement to the US government.
“Running away from trouble isn’t really my style,” Leon said. “And the higher-ups seemed all too happy to lie about project Javier. I’d say saving one loud-mouthed scientist is a small thing in comparison.”
“Yes, yes!” Luis quickly agreed. “Absolutely microscopic, in the grand scheme of things. Writing one little pardon? Not even a milliliter of ink from the president’s expensive pen will be wasted.”
Luis was walking closer as he rambled, until he stood right before Leon.
Leon smiled at him. “Just…don’t help to start another parasite outbreak, yeah?”
“Hmm, I’ll have to think about it.” Luis smirked, a clever hand coming up to run alongside Leon’s shoulder strap. “I might need a trusty squire by my side to help make the right decisions.”
Leon smiled and rested his hand on Luis’ hip. “Good thing I know a guy who has some experience with that.”
Luis leaned in first, the smile staying on his face even as his eyelids lowered and he gripped Leon’s harness firmly. Getting the hint, Leon closed his eyes and moved to meet him halfway…
“Leeooon!” Ashley’s whiny yell coming from further ahead made Leon tense and look up in alert. “I need a boost up this stupid rock!”
As Leon breathed out in relief, Luis chuckled and stepped away, turning back to the trail.
“Ah, and the moment is gone,” Luis said, then gestured onward with a grin. “Come then, Sancho Panza. New adventures await!”
Luis’ eyes shone with excitement, his smile brighter than the sun, and Leon—
Leon grabbed a handful of dark brown hair and surged forward into a kiss. He only had time for a simple press of lips and a quick tease of his tongue along Luis’ bottom lip, but the surprised gasp and following moan were well worth it.
“Yeah,” Leon said, pulling away. “I can’t wait.”
With that, Leon continued up the trail to help Ashley, smiling when he heard Luis laugh before following him.
And for the first time in six years, Leon found himself hopeful for what the future might bring.
Leon gets back from a mission and finds the night to be full of surprises.

Leon stared at the sight before him and considered whether he was more sleep-deprived than he'd initially thought.
After a week-long mission, coming home to his apartment in the middle of the night and quietly opening his bedroom door, he’d expected to see nothing but darkness or at most a reading lamp that was left on by mistake.
Not a naked Spaniard handcuffed to the headboard and sprawled out on Leon’s bed.
“Buenas noches, querido,” Luis said, a way too smug smile on his face considering the situation. “Would you like to join me?”
Leon kept staring. The clock radio did indeed blink 2:30 AM, and there was no explanation for how Luis had managed to either handcuff himself or even know Leon was coming home at this hour.
Luis’ smile faltered as he sat up straighter on the bed. “Mi vida?” he asked, voice lowering into something more gentle. “We don’t have to; I only wanted to surprise you.”
“You surprised me, all right.” Leon felt the corner of his mouth pulling up in a smile. “Please tell me those aren’t my STRATCOM-issued handcuffs.”
Luis laughed and immediately relaxed back against the bed. “What can I say?” He winked. “I do so enjoy defiling government property.”
Leon huffed a laugh even as he started shucking off his weapons and armor.
“Mm,” Luis commented, licking his lips. “Such a dangerous man here in my bedroom. What will you do to me, agent?”
"Depends," Leon said. "Are you gonna be good for me?"
Luis' eyes darkened with lust—Leon had set the tone for the evening, and Luis looked to be on board.
"There's little I wouldn't do for you, cariño,” Luis murmured.
Leon knew all too well how much he meant it.
As far as the rest of the world was concerned, Luis Serra Navarro had died three years ago, in a village in northern Spain amidst the chaos that had been caused by the parasite he'd helped to develop.
For much of the first year, Leon had thought the very same thing. He could barely even remember getting back to the States and being awarded medal upon medal for returning Ashley safe and sound. He and Ashley were only alive because of Luis’ kindness, and a part of Leon had died right alongside Luis in that mineshaft. He’d grieved for months, drowning himself in work and alcohol to dull the pain.
Until a mysterious figure had appeared in front of his apartment complex. And as Leon caught a glimpse of that infuriating smirk he never thought he’d get to see again as Luis told him “A little red-dressed birdie said to tell you 'You're welcome' and 'You owe me big time'," it was only years of training that allowed him to calmly invite the man up for coffee instead of breaking down cursing and yelling right there in the street.
Leon scarcely even cared what strings Ada had pulled to get Luis out alive and without any paper trail to boot. For the past two years, Ada would contact them whenever she wanted them for something—usually Luis' knowledge, but sometimes Leon's STRATCOM intel—and both of them knew not to ask for further details. Leon was still shackled to the US government but after Raccoon City and Project Javier, he didn't have any illusions that he was working for the good guys. Ada wasn't much better but at least she'd given Luis a chance at redemption and given the world a brilliant scientist in the fight against B.O.W.s.
But most importantly, she'd given Leon back one of the few people he'd ever called a friend.
“Dios mío, you are such a tease,” Luis complained. He was straining against his handcuffs while Leon stripped slowly, lost in his thoughts. “I'm starting to regret chaining myself to the bed.”
Well. A lot more than a friend, these days.
“Oh, really?” Leon said, finally stepping out of his underwear. “Maybe next time you’ll think twice about touching my stuff.”
"Come here and touch my stuff and I may consider it," Luis shot back.
Leon rolled his eyes but crawled into bed to straddle Luis nonetheless, hips hovering over Luis' abdomen.
"Mm, now that is a lovely view," Luis teased, staring up at Leon with a cocky smile.
But after all this time, Luis no longer bothered to hide the pure adoration in his eyes and Leon no longer pretended that it didn’t make him want to kiss Luis every time he saw it.
And that was what he did even now, leaning down to claim warm lips in a steady kiss, not missing the way Luis eagerly tilted his head up to meet him halfway.
Leon’s fingers brushed through the silky soft strands of Luis’ hair. His hair had grown long in his self-inflicted exile in Leon’s apartment, and after one time when Leon had heard him grumbling that he’d chop it off with kitchen scissors, Leon had yanked Luis' head back by his hair and kissed him and kissed him until Luis got the memo and laughed, “Alright, alright, mi amor, the hair can stay.”
These days, Luis mostly kept his hair in a low ponytail or haphazard bun, especially when he worked: usually compiling his knowledge about parasites and dirt on Umbrella and leaking the documents anonymously online. Most evenings, Luis would sit by his desk and chew on the butt of a pen, loose strands of hair escaping the hairband and falling into his face while he ruminated on problems way beyond Leon's understanding.
Leon may or may not have interrupted numerous important research sessions by grabbing Luis’ pretty hair and guiding his head down to wrap that smart mouth around something much bigger than a pen. Coincidentally, those were some of the few times Luis agreed to take a break, so Leon saw it as a win-win.
This time, however, Luis’ hair was loose, and during the kiss Leon's fingers mapped out how the dark brown waves cascaded over Luis' naked shoulders.
Leon was already half-hard by the time he pulled away from the kiss. Luis leaned forward to chase after his lips, only to be stopped by his restraints.
"Not fair," Luis huffed, glaring at the handcuffs fastened over his head.
“You really didn’t think this through, did you?” Leon asked.
“I didn’t know it would be a three-hour event!” Luis said.
“Hmm,” Leon said, then thrust his hips forward so his hardening dick slid against Luis’ chest to get some friction. “I was thinking four hours.”
“Mierda,” Luis cursed, tugging on the handcuffs as he watched Leon’s erection slide between his pecs. “I forget what a demon you can be.”
Leon hummed and kept leisurely grinding against Luis’ chest, easily working himself to full hardness. His tip was already starting to leak and smeared pre-cum into Luis’ chest hair in filthy trails.
Luis groaned and arched into him, making Leon’s cock accidentally slide over his nipple. When that only made Luis moan louder, Leon did it again, this time deliberately.
“Oh, querido,” Luis murmured as Leon's wet cock toyed with his nipple. “Fuck me.”
“No,” Leon said.
Luis whined yet his hips shamelessly kicked up off the bed, betraying just how much he enjoyed the denial.
Leon loved when Luis got like this. The first few times a then-vanilla Leon had been asked to push Luis around in bed, the nights had mostly ended in both of them snickering at his terrible attempts at dirty talk or the spanking that wouldn't even hurt a fly. But after some time—and more than a few demonstrations from Luis—Leon realized that praise worked just as well as degradation and the promise of pleasure was often much more effective than the threat of pain.
Now they were at a stage where a tumble in the sheets could range from either of them getting roughly fucked against the nearest surface to simply laying back and getting pampered with sweet words and gentle touches. But after two weeks away from Luis on a shitty mission, Leon couldn't deny that this was exactly what he'd needed; he couldn't control where he was sent, how long he was gone, or even working for the damn government in the first place.
But here and now, he had full control of Luis' pleasure, and it was an intoxicating feeling.
“I wanna ride you,” Leon decided.
Luis cursed under his breath and his head fell back, thudding against the headboard. “You’ll be the death of me.”
“Not interested in getting you killed again,” Leon said before he thought better of it.
Luis’ face softened. “Mi corazon, we have been over this. It wasn’t your fault.”
Leon bit back an argument. They’d never agree on where the blame should be placed for that fateful day of Luis’ near-death. Leon didn’t think his guilt would ever truly disappear for having left an unconscious but not dead Luis in that horrible place, but at least he could make sure Luis never had to go through anything like that again.
“I'm just glad you're here,” Leon settled on. He leaned in for a kiss and cradled Luis’ head, fingers brushing gently through his long hair.
Luis moaned into it and sweetly kissed back, caressing Leon’s lips with his own and coaxing Leon’s tongue out to play. Arousal pooled heavy in Leon’s gut and he slipped his tongue between pliant lips, Luis making a deep sound of pleasure that shot straight to Leon's cock.
Luis wasn't the only one getting impatient.
Eager to move things along, Leon pulled away from the kiss and reached for the bedside table, only to notice that their favorite lube had already been conveniently placed on top of it. He cast Luis a pointed look and was met with a leer and Luis wagging his eyebrows.
Leon snorted. “Whore.”
“Ha!” Luis barked out a laugh. “Guilty as charged.”
Leon got back into position straddling Luis, lube now in hand. He squirted some on his fingers and unceremoniously reached behind himself, shoving a finger into his ass and grimacing at the feeling of wet and cold that came with room-temperature lube.
“Mmh, let me see,” Luis said, craning his neck to try to look around Leon.
Leon smiled faux-sweetly as he pushed in another finger. “No.”
Luis groaned, likely in frustration as much as arousal. He whimpered when Leon started moving his fingers, the wet squelch audible in their small bedroom.
“Please,” Luis said. “At least let me help.”
Leon shot an unimpressed stare at Luis’ restrained wrists.
“Yes, but…” Luis’ brow furrowed, before he perked up. “I still have a perfectly good tongue.” Luis winked and licked his lips and Leon’s fingers stuttered inside his own body.
He could vividly remember the times he'd gotten intimately acquaintanced with Luis’ tongue: either Luis quietly murmuring that he’d take care of him while kissing and licking at Leon's most intimate spots, or those other times, with Luis beautifully pliant under him as Leon held him down until Luis was practically sobbing, begging Leon to sit on his face—
Leon cleared his throat. “Another time.”
“Joder, at least give me a taste,” Luis pleaded. “Leonito is looking awfully neglected. You can multitask, can’t you, mi príncipe?”
Leon’s slightly flagging dick twitched in interest. “Fine.”
He shuffled closer until he was kneeling in front of Luis' face, cock jutting out towards his mouth. Luis craned his neck and pushed forward as much as his restraints allowed, moaning shamelessly once Leon fed him the tip of his cock.
Luis immediately started bobbing up and down the shaft, but Leon's hand tightened in his hair and pulled him off.
"Stop," Leon said as Luis whined in protest. "Stay still."
Luis visibly swallowed before nodding. He opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, hungry eyes never leaving Leon’s cock.
Leon didn’t even try to resist the temptation. He held Luis’ head steady by the roots of his hair and thrust his hips forward, deliberately missing his mark and sliding the head of his cock over Luis’ cheek to smear pre-cum on the skin.
Luis moaned but didn't move, just like Leon had ordered. That kind of obedience deserved a reward.
Leon’s thrust into the welcoming mouth was accompanied by a deep groan from Luis. He tightened his lips around Leon’s shaft and teased the underside with his tongue, making Leon forget himself and make a couple aborted thrusts into that incredible feeling of wet, tight and warm.
"Fuck, your mouth," Leon cursed.
Luis whimpered, his eyes having slipped shut as he eagerly sucked down Leon's cock in time with his thrusts, and Leon only then remembered what he was supposed to be doing. He shoved two still-slick fingers back inside his hole, a surprised moan falling from his lips at how much better it felt with Luis’ mouth pleasuring him at the same time.
Leon kept going at his leisure, shallowly fucking Luis' mouth with one hand gripping his hair and the other steadily pumping two fingers into himself. Every few thrusts, the head of his dick would slip out and smear more pre-cum over those pretty lips, making Luis' flushed face even more of a mess.
"Good job," Leon encouraged, angling his dick back inside Luis' mouth and finally pushing deep. "Now take it all."
Luis whined brokenly, throat working as he fought his gag reflex, then moaned and swallowed around Leon's cock as he got used to the feeling.
Once he was satisfied with Luis' efforts, Leon pulled out of his mouth and reached behind himself to grab Luis' cock, thrilled to notice it hard and leaking without even having been touched. Luis whimpered as Leon roughly stroked up and down to spread lube and pre-cum down the shaft, and then Leon was moving down Luis' body to hover over his cock.
Luis was already panting, his skin flushed from his ears all the way down to his chest and only highlighting the slick mess Leon's cock had made on him. When Leon didn't immediately move, Luis bit his lip and looked up at him with pleading eyes, hips canting up towards Leon's ass.
“Oh? Did you want this?” Leon asked. He sank down just the tiniest amount, making Luis' cock slide along his crack and catch on the rim of his loosened hole.
"Yes," Luis moaned. "Yes, Leon…!"
Leon lifted off again. "Then beg for it."
"Mi amor, mi vida, por favor," Luis babbled desperately. "I need to feel you, I missed you so much—please, please sit on my cock!"
Leon's dick twitched at seeing Luis so desperate, arousal curling dark and heavy between his legs.
"Well, since you asked so nicely…" Leon said, then slid down on Luis’ cock in one smooth motion.
Leon grunted at the stretch and Luis moaned, unrestrained and open-mouthed. Luis' entire body trembled and his hands clenched into fists in the cuffs yet he stayed so very still, not fucking into Leon without permission.
"That's it," Leon murmured, quickly adjusting to the familiar feeling of Luis inside him. "Stay right there, and I'll make it good for you."
Luis' eyes slipped shut and something in his body gave, relaxing under Leon and in his restraints.
Leon rewarded him by starting to move, setting a slow pace that dragged Luis' cock deep, small surges of pleasure licking up his spine at every delicious slide in.
Luis was warm and solid underneath him, completely silent save for his heavy breaths. There weren't a lot of things that could make Luis' perpetually yapping mouth shut up, but the endorphin rush of being completely at Leon's mercy often seemed to do the trick.
When Leon dropped down hard on his cock, Luis' eyes shot back open, looking up at Leon desperately.
"M-mi amor," Luis said brokenly.
"You're doing great," Leon reassured, stroking Luis' cheek. "You feel so good. Stay just like that."
Luis exhaled shakily and his eyes fluttered back close.
His body properly adjusted to Luis' size, Leon decided to start riding him in earnest. He leaned back and braced his hands on Luis's thighs, settling into a quick and shallow rhythm of fucking himself down on Luis' cock.
"God—fuck, you're so good," Leon panted.
Luis let out a quiet sob, wetness pricking in the corner of his eye as Leon went completely at his own pace, using Luis to pleasure himself.
"You feel perfect, you're…shit," Leon gasped, throwing his head back and he grinded Luis' cockead against his prostate. "Such a good boy."
“Yes, yes, yours,” Luis sobbed, his head lolling back against the headboard. “Your good boy.”
“Damn right you are,” Leon said, a half-smile twitching on his face before he sank fully down on Luis’ cock and his face went slack with pleasure, feeling Luis so deep inside. His nails dug into Luis' thighs as he practically growled, "Mine."
Luis made a broken sound pulled right from his very soul, shooting straight to Leon’s dick.
“Please,” Luis begged, hands balling into fists in the handcuffs when Leon wasn’t moving. “I’m so close.”
“No,” Leon said, making Luis moan as his cock twitched and swelled even more inside of Leon. “You’re not allowed to come until I say so. I'm gonna ride you and make myself come on your cock, and you're gonna lie there and take it like a good boy. Got it?”
"Yes, yes!" Luis said, body thrashing in his restraints. “Ah, mi amor—ride me, please, use me!”
Leon shuddered in arousal from the unashamed desperation in Luis’ words and body. He wasn’t sure how much longer he’d be able to keep denying them both; he already felt like he was teetering on the edge and only seconds away from coming, even though they’d barely gotten started.
“I will, don’t worry. I know you'll feel amazing,” Leon promised.
He lifted himself up and picked up a quick and rough pace of bouncing on Luis’ cock, Luis moaning loudly under him.
“Shit, Luis, you’re so good for me,” Leon said, working his body up and down. “A good boy with a perfect cock.”
Luis sobbed and feebly tried to meet Leon’s thrusts. “Harder, Leon, por favor!”
“Okay,” Leon said, and he could almost see the surprise on Luis’ face before it was replaced by slack-jawed pleasure, Leon fucking himself harder and faster onto Luis’ cock.
“Yes!” Luis practically screamed. “Oh, Leon…cariño, you’re so—so wonderful, so beautiful, so…” Luis trailed off in a groan, biting his lip as his eyes squeezed shut.
Leon knew that telltale sign of Luis’ impending orgasm and came to a full stop right away.
“No, no, no…!” Luis wailed. “Why!?”
“Told you,” Leon said smugly. “You’re not allowed to come yet.”
Luis groaned and squeezed his eyes shut, flopping his head back dramatically. “You are evil.”
“That’s not very nice,” Leon said, starting a languid pace of grinding down on Luis’ cock. “Is that any way to treat a guy you’re balls-deep inside?”
“That depends,” Luis said, half-glaring at Leon. "Are you actually going to ride me now, or just keep going like an abuela in her rocking chair?"
Leon huffed. "Last time I checked, you had no say in that matter."
And that was when Leon heard the clank before firm hands grabbed him by the hips.
“What the—” Leon had time to say before he was lifted and fucked up into hard, a groan punching out of him.
“You were saying?” Luis smiled up at him and then thrust again, making Leon’s nerves sing from pleasure.
Leon looked down and indeed saw Luis’ hands gripping his hips, with dark red marks around one wrist and the handcuffs dangling from the other.
“You—” Leon gasped at the rough pace Luis set with his newly acquired leverage. “You asshole, I thought you were supposed to be helpless!”
Luis smirked devilishly and paused enough to grind his cock against Leon's prostate, making him choke on a moan.
"You didn't even check the locks before letting your guard down,” Luis said. “Getting sloppy, agent."
“Fuck,” Leon moaned at another thrust, “you.”
“I offered, but you said no.” Luis grinned. “Come on, cowboy. Ride me like you mean it.”
Leon glared and had half a mind to protest just because Luis was being a brat: he could easily overpower Luis and cuff him back to the bed. But Leon's dick was aching and his body was alight with pleasure from Luis fucking up into him, and he really just wanted to come already.
“Then buckle up, fucker,” Leon spat. He raised himself up and let gravity do the rest, sinking down on Luis’ cock just as Luis thrust into him, making both of them moan.
They quickly found a rhythm; Leon riding Luis for all he was worth and Luis bucking up to meet him, driving his cock deep inside Leon and pushing them both closer and closer to the finish line.
Leon was too far gone to care about the noises he was making, moaning loud every time their hips met. His thighs burned with the effort and a thin layer of sweat coated both of their bodies, the obscene slap of skin against skin echoing in their bedroom.
“Oh, fuck,” Leon grit out as the pleasure inside him coiled tight. “I’m close.”
“Yes,” Luis groaned, his grip tightening on Leon’s hips. “I want to see, want to make you come—mmh, mi amor, let me see you come!"
Leon groaned and dropped his hand to tug on his cock, barely getting in two pumps of his fist before his body exploded with pleasure. His cock pulsed and shot ropes of white over Luis’ stomach and chest, his ass rippling around Luis’ cock still pistoning in and out. For a few precious seconds, Leon's mind whited out in pure bliss.
When Leon came down from his orgasm and back to reality, he was seated balls-deep on Luis' still-hard cock. Luis was cursing and begging in a mix and Spanish and English, not able to fuck into Leon with him being dead weight on top of him.
“Mi vida, mi sol, Leon, por favor! Please, I’m right there!” Luis pleaded.
He always did beg so beautifully.
"C'mon," Leon urged, lifting his hips to allow Luis to keep fucking into his spent hole. He grabbed a handful of Luis' now-sticky chest hair to steady himself. "Give it to me."
"Fuck," Luis sobbed, his thrusts into Leon's body erratic as he chased his orgasm. "Leon…!"
Luis made such a pretty sight: sweaty and trembling from how close he was to coming, his long hair a halo around his flushed face from where he'd slid down onto his back after the handcuffs were removed.
"You've been so good," Leon murmured, his voice low and sated from his own orgasm. "So, so good. I want you to come for me. Can you do that, Luis?"
Luis exhaled hard and nodded fervently, cock pounding into Leon at a fast and rough pace.
“Yeah, I know you can." Leon smiled. “Now be a good boy and come inside me.”
That seemed to do the trick. Luis's hips stuttered and threw his head back with a broken wail, cock pulsing and emptying inside Leon as he finally found his release.
It was one of the hottest things Leon had ever seen. Despite just having come and his body tingling with oversensitivity, Leon's spent dick twitched happily at the sight of Luis' orgasm.
"Dios mío," Luis panted once his dick was done pumping its release inside Leon. "One of these days, you will actually give me a heart attack from sex."
Leon huffed. "Then maybe don't handcuff yourself to the bed next time."
Luis sighed and laid his head back against the sheets, a satisfied smile on his face. "I regret nothing."
Leon smiled and rolled his eyes, settling in for the afterglow. He could feel Luis’ cock softening inside him but he wasn’t about to move—he always liked when they were joined as long as possible.
Leon's hands ran down Luis' come-streaked torso possessively. Luis wasn't as firm as he used to be—not being able to leave the small apartment without a heavy disguise and triple-checking that nobody was watching would do that to a man—though Leon suspected Luis used some of his weights for vanity reasons. At least to the extent that his old injuries allowed; you don't take a dagger to the lung and keep your full athletic prowess.
Leon didn't care if Luis was muscular or not. The fact that Luis no longer had to run for his life on the daily was a definite plus, and the softening lines around his waist spoke of the new cooking hobby he'd picked up: mostly because he didn't approve of Leon's diet that consisted solely of ready-meals and protein powder, because "Mierda, Leon, my abuelo will come to haunt me if I don't feed you real food."
Home-cooked meals had helped Leon put on more muscle, while it had maybe made Luis a little softer around the edges. Leon might be a little obsessed with coming home to find Luis puttering by the stove, making some dish that Leon always fucked up the pronunciation of, cursing at the lackluster American ingredients and sometimes even wearing an apron and looking like…like a kept man—
"Marry me," Leon said and promptly nearly threw himself off the bed in mortification. He had not meant to say that out loud!
Luis just chuckled. "Ah yes, let me simply rise from the dead, make same-sex marriage legal in this state, and then call your boss, the president, to ask for his blessing." He smirked up at Leon. "My dick scrambled your brain good, hm, querido?" Luis asked, like they were simply sharing a joke and not deciding the future of their entire relationship.
Leon's ears were flaming red. He'd thought about this for quite some time, but this definitely wasn't the best time to be having that conversation, with Luis' deflating prick still lodged in Leon's ass and his come drying in Luis' chest hair. But Luis seemed to think this was only the post-nut euphoria speaking, and that was just flat-out wrong.
“I mean it,” Leon said, making Luis tilt his head quizzically. “It's just…I don't know how to explain it.” He sighed in annoyance at his shitty communication skills; he really should have prepared some kind of speech for this. “I hate being away on missions and not knowing when I'll be coming home.”
Luis smiled. “Oh, mi corazon. You may be a prince, but I am not a helpless princess—no matter how much you insist on me growing hair like Rapunzel," Luis said, making Leon huff a surprised laugh. "As much as I enjoy our time together, if you were here all the time, I doubt I would get anything done.“
Leon sighed. “That's not what I meant."
No matter how much he loved Luis, sharing an apartment this small 24/7 would probably make them both go stir-crazy. At their core they were both independent people and though neither of their lives were currently ideal—with the whole "Luis being legally dead" and "Leon being blackmailed into his job" thing—they still made it work.
Hopefully they could make this work too.
“I want a promise," Leon tried again. "Something to remind us that no matter what happens, I'll always come home to you. And I can just…touch the ring and know I have something to look forward to, and—and you can see yours throughout the day and always remember that I…" Leon swallowed and forced himself to go on. “That I'm yours. And you’re mine. I, uh, I mean if you want to.”
Leon cringed at his clumsy speech. But before he could apologize, Luis' expression softened and his warm hand came up to cup Leon's cheek. Leon had trashy mission stubble and probably looked like death, but Luis still looked at him like he was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
“You are mi vida—my life,'' Luis murmured. “I have been yours from the day we met. Though our friend was the one who brought me back from the brink of death, you are the one who saved me from myself.”
Leon swallowed the mess of emotions bubbling up in his throat. If he was less emotionally constipated from all the shit in his past, he'd probably be crying.
Luis, however, had no such issues even despite his traumatic past, and was laughing a wet laugh as the hint of tears shimmered in his eyes.
“Look at me, blubbering like a fool,” Luis chuckled. “I must be getting emotional in my old age.”
Leon smiled and leaned in for a kiss, tucking a stray lock of hair behind Luis' ear. “Not old,” he murmured. “And that's my fool you're talking about.”
“Ah, cariño.” Luis' smile was wobbly and his voice thick with emotion. “I don't know how you always manage to make me swoon with such simple words.”
“It's because I love you,” Leon said, kissing Luis' cheek, then the corner of his wet eye. “And I'll always love you. You're it for me, Luis.”
The sob finally broke free from Luis' throat and then Leon was being shoved backwards, crashing against the soft mattress and a very clingy, silently crying Spaniard pressing close and kissing him all over, murmuring disbelieving ”estupido, idiota” in between the fond ”mi sol, mi vida, mi precioso.”
Leon smiled and relaxed into the embrace, brushing his fingers through the now-messy and slightly sweaty hair of the man he loved.
He knew that they wouldn't be able to make it official and that a ring would be too inconspicuous in his line of work. But the only two people who needed to know the extent of their promise were in this room, and Leon had never been one for bureaucracy anyway. They could get tattoos or even pick simple keychains for each other—the specifics hardly mattered.
All that mattered was that they were both just as eager to spend the rest of their lives together.
Against his better judgment, Leon takes Luis to the shooting gallery.

Leon took a steadying breath and focused on the feel of the unfamiliar gun in his hands.
A row of cardboard pirates appeared and Leon shot each of them in turn, left to right; one, two, three, four…four—
“Ooh, and a miss!” Came a mocking callout from behind him.
Leon tuned it out and kept his eye on the range. This would be the wave with two of the bonus skulls, and—there!
Leon blasted the cardboard bird with his shotgun and the spread took down one of the sailors too.
“Dios mío, now he is shooting civilians? That's dirty!”
Gritting his teeth, Leon kept going. He was one of the top marksmen in his training program, had been able to snipe distances other agents could only dream of, yet this clunky shotgun and stupid, rigged game—
“Bravo, bravo!” Obnoxious clapping sounded from behind him. “You somehow managed to hit everything except the target! Such skill!”
And that was when Leon slammed the shotgun onto the bench and whipped around to glare at his companion.
“You got something to say!?” he snapped.
Luis was smiling, leaned cockily against a barrel with his pistol dangling from his hand.
“Only that you've been at this for an hour and somehow only seem to be getting worse with time,” Luis said.
Anger flashed through Leon. “Yeah? I'd like to see you try.”
“Haven’t exactly gotten a chance to, since you've been hogging all the fun for yourself…” Luis gave an exaggerated shrug.
A lightbulb went off in Leon's head. “Tell you what,” he said. “You go on and try, and I can provide the snide comments.”
Leon tried to keep the smugness out of his voice. Luis being forced to put his money where his mouth was—and subsequently failing at it—would surely knock the arrogant man down a peg.
“Oh?” Luis raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms over his chest. “And if I beat your score?”
Leon scoffed: he’d seen Luis in a gunfight. That wasn’t going to happen. “Depends. How much are you willing to lose?”
“So cocky,” Luis sighed. “So, if I manage to outscore you in three tries…”
“One try,” Leon corrected. He wasn’t about to let someone else hog the whole shooting gallery when there were still prizes to be won.
“One try? Should not be a problem.” Luis smirked as he sauntered up to the range, and Leon couldn't wait to wipe that stupid grin off his face. “Then I win the bet.”
“Sure,” Leon said. “And if you lose, you’ll be shutting up for ten minutes every time I tell you to.”
“Aww, cielito, I thought you enjoyed hearing my velvety smooth voice,” Luis said.
Leon rolled his eyes in lieu of replying.
“And if I win…” Luis continued.
“Not gonna happen.”
“When I win, you’ll do a favor for me,” Luis said.
Leon frowned: he’d learned not to take anything at face value with this man. Luis had been sketchy about his past from the get go, from giving a fake identity and having inexplicable knowledge of the sickness plaguing the area, to only recently revealing that he’d been born in this village.
Leon should have known better than to trust him, and yet…
“What kind of favor?” Leon asked.
Luis grinned, leaning back against the bench and drawing Leon’s eyes downward to…
The obvious bulge tenting his jeans.
“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Leon spat, neck flaming hot with embarrassment. “Are you always horny?”
Luis shrugged, completely unbothered. “Most of the time, yes. But especially after watching a sexy blond handling guns for the last hour.”
Something warm stirred in Leon's gut at the compliment even as he wanted to argue that his hair wasn’t even blond.
Instead, Leon scoffed and said “You’re insane.”
“On the contrary, I am a simple man with simple pleasures.” Luis smirked. “So? Do we have a deal? One round of shooting; if I lose, you win my silence on command, and if I win, you will do me a sexual favor?”
Leon barely resisted the urge to slam his head against the nearest wall and lament what the fuck his life had become.
But it wasn’t like Luis had any chance of winning. Even if he looked good standing there, with that goddamn smirk and making bedroom eyes at Leon with an obvious hard-on, the only thing that would come out of this was Leon receiving a much-needed mute button when it came to the Spaniard’s excessive rambling.
Why Leon actually felt disappointed by that fact was a mystery.
“Fine. Deal,” Leon said.
Luis winked. “You got it, amigo.”
Luis turned to the shooting gallery while Leon took his earlier spot leaning against the barrel to watch the humiliation.
Luis pressed the button to start a new round, raising his pistol…
“Hold on,” Leon said. “You’re supposed to use the shotty.”
Luis simply laughed and called out, “Not part of our deal!”
Leon’s protest was drowned out by a series of quick shots at the row of targets that appeared. Each of the pirates went down, yet the sailors were completely unharmed.
After the first wave, Luis reloaded his pistol and glanced over his shoulder with a smirk.
Leon’s face heated. “Beginner’s luck,” he said.
Rather than reply, Luis proceeded to demolish the following wave with his pistol—even hitting the damn birds that Leon couldn’t manage despite the spread of the shotgun to help him.
Wave after wave, Luis flawlessly completed the task before him. Each time his pistol rang out, a target went down and his score kept racking up.
Leon could only lean against the barrel and stare, his earlier snark long since forgotten, as Luis stood there in his stupid leather jacket wholly unfit for combat and completed the round with perfect precision.
Once the flashing lights of the bonus time ended and the machine gleefully proclaimed a new high score, Luis turned around with a grin and raised his pistol to blow at the no doubt piping hot muzzle.
Leon’s erection—when the fuck had that happened?—twitched happily at the theatrical display.
“So, amigo…” Luis spoke up and Leon very nearly jumped. This was probably the longest he’d seen Luis go without talking. “It seems that I won our little bet."
Leon cleared his throat, not trusting his voice. “And it seems to me like you cheated.”
Luis chuckled. “The pistol? Come now, querido, we both know you would have done even worse without the shotgun.”
Annoyance flared through Leon but somehow seemed to shoot straight to his already throbbing dick. “Wanna tell me how the fuck you’re so good at this? Are you just one of those guys who gets performance issues any time there’s real combat involved?”
“Oh trust me, cariño, I can perform very well under all kinds of circumstances,” Luis said, looking up through his lashes.
Leon’s sweaty palms gripped the barrel’s edge tighter.
“But, I should probably have mentioned that I’ve been coming here for months to practice,” Luis said casually.
Leon huffed. “I knew it. Cheater.”
Luis grinned. “It’s only cheating if you break the rules.” He stalked towards Leon, then, hips swaying with every step. “And no matter how you look at it, I won our bet.”
With Leon leaned back like this, Luis was taller than him when he stepped close, almost looming over Leon. Surprisingly, Leon found he didn’t mind that in the slightest.
“Fine,” Leon said, trying to put animosity into his voice that he no longer even felt. “What do you want?”
Luis sighed and shook his head, leaning closer still. “Straight to the point, eh? You yanquis have no thoughts to romance.”
Without preamble, Luis kissed Leon, crowding him against the barrel and his hands coming up to cradle Leon’s head.
And somewhere between Luis’ tongue slipping in to caress Leon’s own and Luis’ thigh pressing between his legs, Leon groaned in both frustration and arousal alike and stopped pretending not to want it.
He brought one hand up to tangle in Luis’ greasy hair and grabbed a handful of leather jacket with the other. Luis hummed as Leon shoved his tongue between those clever lips, taking control of the kiss while holding the other man in place, lightly tugging on his hair.
“Mm,” Luis murmured against his lips and ground his thigh more firmly against Leon’s hardness. “I didn’t anticipate you to be so eager, guapo.”
“Yeah, well,” Leon huffed, pushing his hips up. “Hot dude, good with guns… you might have been onto something.”
Leon felt more than saw Luis’ smile against his mouth before they were kissing again. Affectionate pooled in his gut and mixed with the arousal already there; this was the first time Leon had openly acknowledged the—by now, obvious—attraction between them.
“Oh, corazon,” Luis said upon pulling away, before moving down to kiss at Leon’s neck. “Mi cielito, muy precioso.”
Leon swallowed a moan as Luis kept kissing at his neck and murmuring things he probably had no idea that Leon could understand. Clever hands left Leon’s face to trail down his torso, catching the hem of his t-shirt and pulling up.
“Mierda, look at you,” Luis breathed, looking down as inch upon inch of Leon’s abdomen and pecs were revealed. “So beautiful; I just want to eat you.”
Leon huffed a dry chuckle. “Get in line. I’m pretty sure some of the villagers were planning on making a soup out of me.”
“No, no, no,” Luis shook his head as he trailed his mouth down, over Leon’s shirt now bunched up under his armpits, until his face sat between naked pecs. “That would be absolutely tragic. You are much too pretty to be made into a stew.”
“Uh. Thanks?”
“Mm,” Luis hummed and brushed his lips over a nipple.
“Oh, fuck,” Leon cursed, arousal surging through him like lightning.
“Ah, you like that?” Luis said, then proceeded to kiss and lap at the nipple, making Leon bite back an embarrassing whimper.
When he felt the light scrape of teeth against the sensitive bud, Leon gasped and tightened the hand still resting on Luis’ nape.
“Harder,” he commanded.
“Dios mío, corazoncito,” Luis sounded out of breath, murmuring against Leon’s pec. “You drive me crazy.”
Teeth tugged sharply on Leon’s nipple and he trembled at the feeling, cock throbbing in the confines of his pants. A sinful tongue proceeded to lap at the bud trapped between teeth and Leon couldn’t suppress his noises this time. His head tilted back as he roughly squeezed around a handful of Luis’ hair and earned a husky groan, the vibrations traveling from Luis’ lips to his nipple in a delicious feedback loop.
As Luis’ mouth worked over his chest with teeth and tongue, a warm hand appeared out of nowhere to cup Leon’s erection through his pants.
“Jesus, Luis…” Leon breathed, grinding against the man’s palm to chase the much-needed friction to his cock.
Luis moaned, maybe in agreement, still nipping and kissing Leon’s nipple while his hand set to massaging Leon’s hard cock through his pants.
Leon knew he could come like this. He was too high-strung to make it last, and Luis’ mouth and hand felt way too good after days of nothing but death and violence.
It would be so easy to get lost in this simple pleasure, tucked away in the relative safety of the merchant’s basement with the man who had slowly but surely wormed his way not only into Leon’s pants but also his heart—
But this wasn’t about him.
“Luis,” Leon tried, yanking on Luis’ hair to get his attention.
That only spurred Luis on, making him moan and rub over Leon’s pants with renewed vigor.
“Hey, asshole,” Leon tried instead.
That seemed to do the trick, as Luis’ head lifted and he looked up at Leon with a crease in his brow.
“Are we suddenly moving to humiliation?” Luis asked. “Because I don’t mind; it is a little surprising, I’ll admit, but after the chain bondage and role playing earlier—”
Leon rolled his eyes and silenced the rambling by shoving his tongue down Luis’ throat.
When Leon pulled away from the kiss, Luis was blinking in confusion. “Getting some mixed signals here, amigo.”
“Just reminding you that I’m the one who owes you a favor, not the other way around,” Leon said.
And that was all it took for the smile to be back in full force.
“Ah, bonito, you almost had me frightened.” Luis leaned his head on Leon’s naked abdomen, dangerously close to where Leon was still throbbing, and looked up at him with a knowing smirk. “Has anyone told you not to look a gift Luis in the mouth? I was very much enjoying myself, and I thought you were too.”
“I was,” Leon said. “Just wanted to, you know… get our deal out of the way.”
Luis raised a thoroughly unimpressed eyebrow and Leon closed his eyes and mentally kicked himself: that was no way to speak to someone he was sharing an intimate moment with. Leon’s ruthless communication methods may have served him well in the field, but in private it always seemed to end up with him putting his foot in his mouth.
“Ah, you Americans and your insistence to kill romance,” Luis sighed. “How difficult is it to live in the moment?”
But he was still smiling, placing a kiss on Leon's abs and his hand still making acquaintances with Leon’s crotch, lightly massaging even throughout this extremely unsexy conversation.
“Sorry,” Leon offered, trying not to grind against Luis’ hand too much. “I just… Fair’s fair.”
“Well, fortunately for you, I already decided what I want for my prize,” Luis smiled, pressing more firmly on Leon’s erection.
Leon bit his lip to suppress a groan and tried to keep his focus on the conversation. “Yeah, uh… what is it?”
“This.” Luis squeezed Leon’s length through his pants. “My mouth on you.”
Leon’s horny, stupid brain took a second too long to catch up. “Huh?” he asked, but Luis only kept smiling and massaging him. “Wait—you wanna use the… sexual favor,” he grit out with some difficulty. “To blow me?”
Luis smiled as innocently as anyone with a handful of cock could. “Sí.”
“What the fuck,” Leon said. “That’s just—oh, god…”
Luis’ other hand had crept up Leon’s side and was now tweaking the earlier neglected nipple, creating a frizzling line of pleasure between his chest and his dick.
“Are you questioning my sexual preferences, querido?” Luis smirked. “Is a man not allowed to want to see a beauty like you unravel before them, to feel you pulsing in his mouth?”
“Fu—uck.” Leon wasn’t proud of the way his voice cracked at the word.
“Exactly,” Luis agreed. “Now what do you say? Can I pleasure you with my mouth? Suck you down until you are trembling your release down my throat? Hm?”
Luis twisted Leon’s nipple and rubbed over the head of his cock and Leon was dangerously close to coming on the spot.
“Yeah,” Leon panted. “God, yes, do it.”
“With pleasure,” Luis purred.
Instantly, both hands left Leon’s body and instead worked frantically over his zipper, pausing only to push at Leon's hips until Leon got the hint and hopped up to sit on the barrel.
In no time at all, Luis had Leon’s fly open and was shoving a hand into his boxers, immediately gripping hard flesh. The rough warmness of his palm contrasting with the cool metal of his rings had Leon making a strained moan.
“Oh, Leon, look at you…” Luis breathed as he pulled out Leon’s leaking cock. “Dios mío, but you are beautiful all over. So pretty and pink down here.”
The words shot a hot flash of both shame and arousal through Leon’s entire body. For a moment, Luis simply stood there between his legs, slowly pumping Leon’s cock and looking at it like he was having some sort of religious experience.
Leon’s body trembled from anticipation; soon, he’d get Luis’ mouth on him. He’d get to be inside Luis, cock enveloped in wet heat, making Luis moan and have to keep quiet, focusing on pleasuring Leon just as intently as he focused on the shooting range earlier.
Luis licked his lips and leaned in and god, this was really happening, Leon would finally get a break from all the shit that had been going on these last few days, from the cult and kidnapping and the parasite—
Shit. The parasite.
“Wait!” Leon said, grabbing Luis’ shoulder to halt him. He didn’t miss the annoyed sigh as Luis pulled back to stare up at him, unimpressed, but he had to ask—couldn’t risk hurting Luis. “Are you… will the parasite transmit to you if we…?”
Luis’ features relaxed into a smile. “Oh, but you are sweet.” He shuffled into a better position, kneeling properly on the floor. “But no, the parasite is not infectious at this stage and certainly not under the suppressant. Even then, mucous membrane contact isn’t nearly enough to transmit it. You have nothing to worry about.”
Leon sagged in relief. It was good that Luis knew so much about this stuff—maybe his history at Umbrella wasn't all bad. “Okay.”
“Now, was there anything else…? Luis said, teasingly sliding his hand up and down Leon’s cock.
“No, that’s—that was all,” Leon panted. “Shit, Luis, please—”
“I’ve got you, cariño,” Luis murmured, and then took the tip of Leon’s cock into his mouth.
“Oh, fuck!” Leon groaned, the hand on Luis' shoulder reflexively shooting up to grab a handful of his hair again. “Luis, fuck…”
Luis’ cocky hum was even better like this, the vibrations caressing the sensitive skin of Leon’s cock. Luis bobbed up and then back down, working over the tip and spreading spit and precum all over the head and dripping down the shaft.
“Holy shit,” Leon cursed.
He grabbed the edge of the barrel with his free hand to steady himself as Luis kept working over him. Luis was slowly but surely increasing the pace and swiping his tongue over the head each time he pulled up, moaning softly all the while—like he was the one getting off on this, and not Leon.
Leon couldn't remember the last time he felt this good; as nice as their first encounter had been, being pleasured by Luis’ hot mouth was something else entirely. It had been so long since anyone had given Leon head, and even longer since anyone had been this enthusiastic about it.
Something poked Leon in the thigh and he belatedly opened his eyes, not recalling when they’d slid shut, and looked down.
Luis smiled at getting his attention—as much as anyone could smile with their mouth full of cock—and stopped poking Leon’s leg in favor of pushing down on Leon’s hand still tangled in his hair.
Luis’ head lowered under their hands, making him take more of Leon’s cock and punching a gasp out of Leon. Luis pulled back up until only the tip of Leon’s dick rested in his mouth, looking up at him with blue eyes shimmering with meaning.
“You want me to…?” Leon said.
He pushed down on Luis’ head, forcing his mouth down Leon’s cock and earning a muffled moan. He did it again, a little further this time, before gently pulling Luis back up.
“This alright?” Leon asked.
This time, the answering groan sounded impatient. Luis glared up at him, his hand slapping back on top of Leon’s and pushing, until Leon’s cock bumped against the back of his throat and, fuck, it felt good, that pressure against his pulsing tip, but Luis was choking, his throat convulsing around Leon’s length—
Except Luis only moaned, loud and filthy and his eyelids fluttered shut even as wetness pricked by the corner of his lashes.
“Oh,” Leon breathed when Luis’ hand dropped away, giving over control to Leon. “You like this?”
He pushed Luis’ head back down, his cock sliding into the clenching throat. Luis choked out a garbled moan and reached a hand down to stroke his own recently freed erection.
Leon chuckled breathlessly and tightened his grip. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
It was surprisingly easy, falling into this new dynamic; with Luis’ enthusiastic moans and the way he was very obviously stroking himself in time with Leon fucking his mouth, Leon could let some of that carefully coiled control slip.
He guided Luis up and down over his throbbing cock, muscles flexing with the effort of as he used more and more force. He alternated between pushing Luis as deep as he could go, holding him there until he was gagging, and pulling him up to shallowly thrust the tip of his cock between slick lips, occasionally tugging roughly at his hair to coax out more of his moans.
Spit ran down Luis’ stubbled jaw and his lashes clumped together with unshed tears, his throat working around Leon’s cock every time Leon forced him deep. The sight had no business being as arousing as it was, yet Leon could only bite his lip and guide Luis faster, deeper, already feeling his orgasm fast approaching.
“Fuck, I’m close,” Leon breathed.
Luis actually whimpered at that, tightening his lips impossibly around Leon’s cock, not showing any signs of pulling away; freely offering himself for Leon’s pleasure, like he wanted Leon to come down his throat.
Leon’s cock throbbed with the reminder of just how much Luis was getting off on this, on being used by Leon, letting him fuck his mouth as he pleased and—and god, Leon wanted to claim him.
“Luis—fuck, Luis,” Leon said. “Can I come on your face?”
And when Luis only hummed his approval and looked up at Leon through his wet lashes, deep blue eyes swimming with an ocean of want, that was all it took.
Leon’s hips shot up off of the barrel and he thrust wildly into Luis’ mouth once, twice, and then pulled Luis’ head up and gushed his release over the normally smug face now wrecked with arousal. He watched his come hit Luis’ wet, open mouth, watched it land on his cheek and his chin while Luis only moaned.
It was too much. Overwhelmed, Leon squeezed his eyes shut and only faintly heard the murmurs of “Oh, Leon, so good, querido, so beautiful.”
And as the arousal slowly faded along with his orgasm, some of Leon’s brain cells finally returned. What the hell had he just done?
Reluctantly, Leon released the death grip he had on Luis’ hair and opened his eyes.
Leon's face flamed hot with shame as he saw his depravity all over Luis: the man’s face was streaked with come, some even dripping down his neck and down his jacket.
“Jesus,” Leon breathed.
“You really have an obsession with marking me, eh?” Luis grinned, his voice hoarse but thankfully not seeming terribly offended. He looked down and huffed a sigh. “Mierda, you even hit my jacket again.”
Leon swallowed his comment about how ugly he found the jacket in favor of a simple “Sorry.”
He grabbed a clean-seeming rag from a nearby shelf and wiped at Luis’ face. Luis half-heartedly swatted at him, with protests of "Come on, I can clean myself up", but then laughed as Leon accidentally poked him in the eye while wiping his drying tears.
"Stop squirming," Leon ordered.
"Fine, fine," Luis snickered but obeyed. "Didn't know you were such a mother hen."
Leon finished cleaning the mess he'd made of Luis to the best of his abilities, trying to be gentle to offset some of the roughness that had overtaken him earlier.
It was strangely…domestic. Leon was inexplicably hit by an image of Luis sprawled out on the couch in Leon’s apartment in the States, sated and lazy and laughing at something he said, until Leon yanked him into a kiss—
Leon cleared his throat and looked away, hoping that his bangs hid his reddening face. "There. That should do it."
"Such a gentleman," Luis said. "Maybe not all yanquis are hopeless with romance, hm?"
Luis smirked and buttoned his pants, and Leon only now realized that he hadn't seen him come.
“So, uh,” Leon said. “Can I… do you want a hand, or…?”
Luis cocked his head. “Oh!” he exclaimed. “No, I took care of it myself. As you can see.” He grinned and nodded to the barrel.
Leon looked down and saw a very incriminating spot of white goo dripping down the side of the barrel. He felt his face flush even more: Luis had really come from that, from having his mouth full of cock and being roughly used by Leon.
And for the first time in years, Leon wasn't sure how to proceed. He had so many things to say, about whatever this was between them, about the affection making him want to constantly be near Luis, even as the other man had the capability to get on every last of his nerves, and about how he’d caught himself thinking about Luis still being there when this was all over...
“And you didn’t think to clean it up?” Was what came out of Leon’s mouth instead.
Luis grinned lazily, occupied with collecting his tokens from the machine by the shooting gallery.
"Loser of the bet is on cleanup duty," he said, then sauntered up the stairs. "Hurry, Sancho, or you won't get to see me winning the Luis figurine for you!"
Leon huffed out a silent laugh. He’d have to tip the merchant well in exchange for his discretion once this was all over.
Now, he simply followed after the spoiled, infuriating man who had somehow managed to win Leon's affection in addition to their dumb bet.
It's been ten years since Valdelobos, but Leon still makes Luis feel like they're in their twenties: young and reckless and not able to keep their hands off each other.

Luis slowly blinked awake to the unmistakable glare of sunlight in his eyes.
For once, the harsh morning light didn't make him groan in protest and bury his face into a pillow; he'd actually gotten a decent night's sleep instead of stumbling into bed at four in the morning after a research binge like usual.
The reason for Luis' normal sleep schedule was currently curled up next to him, quietly snoring in the stillness of the morning. One would never think that this beautiful man, with his long lashes fanning over high cheekbones and plush lips that parted on every soft exhale, was a highly dangerous special agent.
They also wouldn't know that Leon slept with a knife tucked under his pillow and a loaded pistol in his nightstand. Luis almost felt bad for that one burglar who had made the mistake of breaking in and promptly soiled his pants as he was immediately greeted by a very angry American aiming a gun between his eyes and snarling, "Leave."
Luis had lectured Leon in the morning, ranting, "Dios mío, at least make them wipe the floor after if you're going to insist on scaring the piss out of harmless criminals."
Luis smiled to himself and shook his head: living with Leon was never boring, that was for sure.
Settling in for a lazy morning in bed, Luis propped himself up on his pillow, arms crossed behind his head. He looked out of their bedroom window, where the sun was slowly rising over the Mexican countryside.
After Valdelobos, staying in Spain hadn't been a possibility for Luis. Him, Leon and Ashley had made it out by the skin of their teeth and Luis had—extremely optimistically—returned with his new friends to America in the hopes that a government that had annihilated one of its own cities, murdered its own troops and blackmailed a traumatized 21-year-old into working for them would welcome him with open arms.
In Luis' defense, he'd been tired and desperate and already halfway in love with the handsome prince who had swooped in and saved him from the monsters. He would probably have followed Leon anywhere.
Thankfully, when the President heard both his darling daughter and new favorite agent put in a good word for Luis, the USSTRATCOM goons interrogating him had suddenly become much more lenient to his past crimes. And, yes, technically Luis had also been blackmailed into working for the US government, but it sounded much better when they framed it as his opportunity to atone for his mistakes.
You’d think Luis would have learned by then that if something sounded too good to be true, it probably was.
Rather than atone for anything, Luis had been passed around like a common whore between government organizations, from STRATCOM to SOCOM to AMRIID until they seemed to run out of acronyms that would take him. Nobody quite knew what to do with him except that his knowledge was both valuable and dangerous, and Luis had barely gotten to work on any actual projects with the dark cloud of "Ex-Umbrella and Las Plagas researcher" looming over him.
That had continued for about five years, until Leon had enough of Luis' talent being wasted and used the name he'd made for himself after Ashley’s rescue to call in some favors. Said calls eventually resulted in one Chris Redfield showing up to Luis' dingy government-issued (and -surveilled) apartment and announcing that Luis was now working under him at the BSAA as a consultant. Chris had shoved a phone into Luis' hand and told him he was free to go "wherever the fuck he wanted" as long as he had a functioning lab and answered when the phone rang.
Luis packed up his bags and left his shithole of an apartment that same night, moving into Leon's cramped studio in DC instead.
Mexico had been Leon's idea. They were both pretty sick of the good old US of A and Luis missed his home country something fierce, but with the litany of Spanish arrest warrants on him, they settled for the next best thing and bought a run-down farm in the mountains of southern Mexico instead.
Luis had felt right at home. The nearby town was quaint but nice, reminding him of summers spent on the outskirts of Barcelona with his friends from university. The town was nothing like the backwards and overly religious village Luis had grown up in and in just a few months, he'd been able to recruit some of his new Mexican friends to help convert the old barn on their property into a high-tech lab. The locals sometimes teased both Leon and Luis for their accents but had otherwise welcomed them with open arms, pointedly not asking why two supposedly rich men were sharing a one-bedroom house.
Despite the relative freedom, Luis had no illusions that certain high-ranking US officials didn’t still keep a watchful eye on his work for the BSAA through the UN. Still, these days he was treated with much less suspicion, especially after the extensive research paper of Las Plagas variants he and Dr. Chambers had collaborated on. Rebecca had apparently kicked up quite the storm among the higher-ups when she noticed that the final publication had all instances of Luis' name removed and the paper was credited solely to her. Predictably, nothing came of it, but Luis appreciated the sentiment nonetheless.
Leon sadly still worked for the US government, now at the DSO, which in Luis' eyes fell firmly under the "same shit, different name" category. But after sixteen years of esteemed service, Leon had more money and freedom than the majority of his countrymen and his bosses scarcely cared where their best agent went between missions and what—or who—he chose to do.
All those times when they still lived in America and Leon had "accidentally" punted Luis' government liaison in the face in "self-defense" for "sneaking up on them" during date nights had probably been quite effective in driving the latter point home. And as fun as it was to watch his squire defend his honor, Luis was glad those days were long gone.
Over the last five years, they'd settled nicely into their new life in Mexico and the once-farm had become a home. Between the whole saving the world thing, they were just like any other couple: Luis grew a small "herb" garden, Leon helped the abuelas down the road with heavy lifting, they went drinking to the cozy pub in town on the weekends, and sometimes played guitar on the porch—Luis somewhat decently, and Leon bad enough to make the neighbor’s dogs howl.
And for the first time since Lab Six, Luis actually enjoyed his work. Yes, it was annoying to not get credit for most of it, but Chris was a fair boss and his squad was full of good people, and the other BSAA researchers were some of the most brilliant minds Luis had ever worked with. Luis could confidently claim that his and Leon's contributions to the anti-BOW efforts had saved thousands, if not millions, of lives—Leon mostly by shooting Tyrants in the face and Luis with his all-nighters in the lab—and Luis had gotten some of the redemption he'd been so desperate for after Umbrella and Los Illuminados.
Luis' current long-running project was a biologist's wet dream: he was investigating an entirely new species of fungus that was native to Romania and highly infectious with its airborne spores. Chris had actually shown up in person to deliver the sample, cradling a sealed box of black mold like it was precious and begging Luis to find out something, anything about the fungus and the hivemind it was attached to. Luis hadn’t made much progress yet but since both Leon and Chris both firmly believed he was the man for the job, he wasn’t about to give up anytime soon.
Aside from the BSAA delivering work to Luis, he and Leon didn’t get many visitors. Two orphans without any living family left didn't have a terribly big social circle and as much as Luis liked the friends they'd made in Mexico, he really didn't want an outsider to stumble upon one of Leon's thirty-something guns or a BOW autopsy photo Luis had left lying around.
Still, their lumpy pullout couch did occasionally see use. Claire usually dropped by whenever her work with TerraSave took her to South America, and even Sherry had started visiting semi-regularly in the last few years—though those times it was Luis and Leon sleeping on the cramped couch as Leon insisted Sherry take their bed. Being a gentleman, Luis didn't mind in the slightest; but when he'd offered the same courtesy to Claire, both her and Leon had burst out laughing. Regardless, Claire was great company and Sherry was a sweet girl and Luis knew how important they both were to Leon. Luis would never forget the day that Sherry had called them and said that with Simmons dead, she was allowed to see Leon whenever she wanted to; it was one of the few times Luis had seen Leon openly sobbing.
Of their other friends, Ashley still kept in touch via e-mail and yearly tacky Christmas cards even though her doctoral studies kept her busy, and Rebecca liked to phone in at odd hours to consult Luis on lab problems or bounce ideas off of him. Chris and his squad had dropped by a couple times after missions and it somehow always ended in half a dozen BSAA agents passed out on the floor of their living room after they'd destroyed Leon's entire tequila collection. Leon had gotten a few pictures of Chris drooling against the tiled floor or clutching a puke bucket and sent them to Claire, which Luis supposed was deserved.
Last time, Chris had promised to bring someone named Jill along, claiming she was a huge fan of Luis' work and very excited to finally meet him. Leon had sighed in resignation and agreed, but only if a man called Carlos tagged along with them for moral support.
Luis still didn't know whether he should be excited to meet this Jill or sneak some of Leon's body armor under his jacket just in case.
But as dangerous women were concerned, nothing could beat the memorable time Ada Wong had showed up unannounced on their doorstep. She'd been bleeding profusely through her stylish dress and refused to elaborate what had happened or how she even knew their address as she made a beeline for the medicine cabinet. Leon was away on a mission and Ada did not take kindly to Luis offering to help tend to her wounds, but she did accept his offer of Leon's tee while Luis washed the blood out of her dress in the bathroom sink. Once he left the bathroom, Luis found Ada sitting by the kitchen table and scrolling through Luis' password- and fingerprint-protected work laptop, taking elegant bites of the sandwich Luis had just prepared for himself, her legs crossed and somehow making Leon's oversized Nirvana tee look like high fashion.
And because he valued his life, Luis had only smiled and asked if she wanted coffee with her sandwich.
Ada left the next morning—after Luis had played housewife to her for an entire day—stealing nothing but Luis' pride and Leon's worn tee and, oh, just invaluable confidential information on his latest projects. Leon got home a few days later, laughing his ass off when Luis told him what had happened and showing Luis the text message of "Your puppy is very well-trained. Give him a treat for me 💋" he'd received from an untraceable number two days prior.
Luis huffed a silent chuckle at the memory. Even with Leon regularly gone for weeks at a time and all sorts of shady characters occasionally invading their home, Luis loved the life they had built together.
And he owed it all to the man next to him.
Luis looked at Leon who was still sleeping soundly, probably tired out from the recon mission he’d come home from only a few days ago. Age and stress weighed heavy on Leon’s once-youthful face, with dark bags under his eyes and the creases on his forehead more pronounced, but at least Luis had been able to talk him out of that depressing brown hair dye a few years prior. The blond hair suited him much better, looking almost golden where the bangs fell messily onto his face as he slept. Luis didn't think he'd ever seen Leon as at peace as he was right here, face half-squished into his pillow with a week’s worth of stubble and the morning sun on his face.
Not able to resist, Luis turned onto his side and shuffled closer to Leon under the covers, curling up with his back against the muscular chest and his head tucked under Leon’s chin.
Leon let out a sleepy murmur of approval, wrapping an arm around Luis’ middle and pressing close against him to—oh, hello there.
Luis' groin stirred in pleasant surprise as he felt Leon's morning wood pushing into his lower back. Eager at the prospect of morning sex, Luis grabbed Leon’s hand and brought it up to place a kiss onto his knuckles, making Leon sigh softly and press even closer against him.
They stayed like that for several minutes, until Luis realized that Leon had no intention of acting on his arousal and the tightness in his own sleep pants was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Time to ramp up the charm.
"Cariño. Mi hermoso," Luis murmured, "accidentally" pushing his ass against Leon’s erection. "Te amo."
This time, Leon’s sigh was marginally more exasperated before he moved his hand down to grip Luis’ hip and murmured, "Love you too.”
That was all the warning Luis got before he was shoved and unceremoniously rolled over onto his stomach, Leon sprawling out on top of him. Luis huffed and tried to move only to find out he couldn't, effectively pinned against the bed by Leon's bulkier frame and thus putting a stop to his obvious come-on.
"Oye," Luis complained. "So rough, Sancho."
"Your fault," Leon groused, voice still raspy with sleep. "Fucking tease."
And that was when Luis realized that instead of simply holding him in place, Leon was lazily grinding his hard-on against the back of Luis' thigh.
Luis grinned against the sheets as blood rushed back to his dick. Score one for Luis.
"Is there something you want, mi príncipe?" Luis asked innocently, pushing back against Leon's hips.
"Yeah." Leon shamelessly grabbed a handful of Luis' ass. "This."
Something within Luis preened at being so undeniably wanted. He might not be as vain as he used to and his lanky body wasn’t anywhere near the muscled perfection of Leon’s build, but he was still proud of his appearance and the effortless sexy-disheveled look he’d practically perfected.
Oh, and his ass: Luis’ best feature and a source of endless fun for the past twenty or so years. Based on the amount of groping and kneading of said ass he was currently doing, Leon seemed to agree.
"Oh? And what would you like to do with it?" Luis teased, flexing the muscles.
He could practically hear the smirk in Leon’s voice as he squeezed Luis’ cheeks and said, "You'll see."
Luis' face flushed and he was glad that Leon couldn't see how much he was already affected by just some light petting. Despite their high-stress jobs and decade-long relationship, Leon still made him feel like they were in their twenties: young and reckless and unable to keep their hands off each other.
Not one to be outdone, Luis arched his back to make the curve of his ass even more tantalizing.
"Then do your worst, mi amor," Luis said as seductively as he could manage.
Efficient as always, Leon wasted neither time nor words. He simply pushed up on his elbows and kissed Luis' naked back right between his shoulder blades, hands gripping Luis' hips possessively.
"Oh, yes," Luis sighed into the mattress. "You do all the work and I simply lie here and look pretty? Wonderful plan, mi amor."
Leon huffed, a warm rush of air against Luis' skin. "Just because I know how useless you are before your coffee."
"Oye," Luis protested half-heartedly. "Caffeine is a staple of any genius'—hnn."
Luis' sentence died on his tongue as Leon's thumbs rubbed circles over the dimples on his lower back and heated kisses trailed down his spine. When callused fingers hooked under the waistband of his pajama pants, Luis was already lifting his hips to make it easier to slide them off.
"Someone's eager," Leon said.
Luis scoffed. "You're one to talk, señor wandering hands."
Leon snorted before tugging the pants off and leaving Luis naked in the soft chill of the morning. Leon proceeded to lie down on Luis' legs and planted a kiss on the base of his spine, breath hot on Luis' lower back.
Heat rushed to both Luis' face and his groin and he bit his lip to muffle the excited whine that threatened to spill free. He couldn't help but shiver from anticipation as Leon's lips moved down the cleft of his ass, closer and closer to where he really wanted them.
When Leon grabbed his cheeks to part them and pressed his mouth against Luis' hole, Luis groaned, "Finally."
Leon chuckled, licking over the puckered skin. "This what you wanted?"
"Mierda, yes," Luis said. "More."
Leon hummed—in agreement or just out of pure smugness, Luis didn't care, because he was kissing and mouthing at the sensitive skin of Luis' rim and making pleasure zing up his spine.
When Leon added tongue to the mix and gently lapped at his hole, Luis couldn't suppress his moan; it was unfair how good this felt.
"Oh, cariño, just like that," Luis encouraged.
The sound seemed to spur Leon on. He groaned against Luis' ass, a deep sound of pleasure in time with his licks, and the indecent noise shot straight to Luis' already excited dick. Leon was usually quiet with both his pain and his pleasure, and for him to be moaning already told Luis exactly how worked up he was.
Wanting to hear more of Leon’s sounds, Luis bit his lip to stifle his own moans even as Leon's tongue was single-handedly driving him mad. His resolve lasted all of thirty seconds or so because Leon—being the smug bastard that he was—pulled back to tease his stubble against Luis’ spit-slick hole, rough and just the way he knew Luis liked.
"Unh, Leon," Luis grunted, hands fisting the sheets from the exquisite pleasure-pain.
Leon gave Luis’ poor hole a few apologetic licks before a callused finger joined the fun, circling and pressing against the pucker in a teasing massage. Just as Luis was starting to squirm from impatience, Leon pushed the digit in.
Luis let out a shaky exhale as his hole twitched and adjusted to the feeling. Everything was a little dryer than he’d like, but he’d taken much more with much less before.
"God, you look good," Leon praised, then shamelessly licked around the finger sinking into Luis' ass, instantly elevating the feeling from vaguely unpleasant to incredible. "This okay?"
"Sí, sí, keep going," Luis panted, already out of breath.
Leon sank his finger deeper, curling it against Luis' prostate with eerie precision.
Luis gasped, body jolting from the sudden stimulation. "You bastard," he laughed breathlessly. "That's not fair."
"You can take it," Leon said before pushing in to the knuckle.
Leon started massaging Luis' prostate in earnest, making it swell as he worked Luis to full arousal; using his hands that had killed in a hundred different ways purely to pleasure Luis. Those damn fingers could take apart a gun in ten seconds and take apart Luis in even less than that.
"Mm, Leon," Luis groaned, feebly grinding down against the bed to get some friction on his throbbing dick. "So good, querido. Don't stop."
Of course, that was exactly when Leon decided to pull his finger out.
"Ay!" Luis protested.
Leon chuckled, placing a wet kiss on Luis’ lower back. “So needy,” he tutted, and then that wonderful mouth pressed right back between Luis’ cheeks.
Leon’s tongue swirled around the hole with meaning, now, and Luis felt his cheeks clenching around Leon's face as his body twitched from the stimulation. Leon didn’t seem to mind, as he only hummed and licked up and down the crack, rough stubble a delicious contrast to the wet drag of his tongue.
“Mierda, don’t tease!” Luis tried to complain but it came out more like a pathetic plea.
Completely ignoring him, Leon rubbed one finger over the slick skin of Luis' perineum, clearly proud of the wet mess his dripping spit had created. And then, finally, he grabbed and spread Luis’ asscheeks and used the easy access to his hole to press his tongue firmly against it, pointed tip wiggling against the tight muscle.
Luis took in a shuddering breath and willed himself to relax under the teasing assault to his hole, then choked on an embarrassing whimper when his body gave in and Leon's tongue slipped inside.
“Ah—ah, cariño…!” Luis gasped, blindly reaching behind himself to grab Leon's hair and push his lover’s face more firmly into his ass.
Leon let out a filthy groan and buried his face deeper, hands pawing at Luis' cheeks and nose squished against Luis’ tailbone as his tongue thrust in and out of Luis' hole.
"¡Joder!" Luis cried out, fingers digging into Leon's scalp. His dick drooled messily against the sheets, throbbing at the feeling of the wet slick hot that was Leon’s tongue fucking him open. "So good, mi amor, so good…"
Leon hummed, the vibrations from his tongue sending shivers up Luis' spine. He slowed down to a leisurely pace, tongue gently lapping inside the rim before slowly plunging deep into Luis’ body.
Luis whined and let go of Leon's hair in favor of fisting the sheets as the slow burn of arousal built up to a boiling point. Leon's tongue felt heavenly but his high-strung body was done playing around, desperate to feel the thick hardness of Leon's cock fucking into him.
"Mnn, querido, m-mi príncipe…" Luis stammered. "Need you."
Leon's tongue thrust a little faster but he didn’t otherwise react, and Luis was very much prepared to beg if that was what it took.
But then the thick pad of Leon’s thumb started rubbing at the outside of Luis' hole, working over sensitive flesh in a way that made him bite back a whimper. The tip of the finger pushed in alongside Leon’s tongue just enough to catch on the rim and pull, spreading Luis' loosened hole obscenely.
"¡Ah, joder...!" Luis moaned, forehead digging against the mattress. "Mi amor, fuck me, I can't take this anymore!"
Leon immediately pulled off, his breathing surprisingly heavy. "The lube's in the bathroom—"
"If you leave this bed I will kill you," Luis snarled, making Leon snort. He considered for a moment and then asked, "How wet are you?"
"Um." Leon sounded comically bashful for someone who was just tongue-deep in Luis' ass. Luis imagined him sheepishly looking down at the—probably—soaked front of his boxers; even just eating Luis out was usually enough to get him leaking. "Pretty wet."
Luis smirked, turning his head to the side so he could look up from under his bangs. "Then what are you waiting for, cowboy?"
Leon's expression darkened with lust before he pounced. He swiftly pushed himself up on his knees and moved to straddle Luis' trembling legs, making his heavy cock smack against Luis’ thigh.
Luis' brain stuttered. "When did you have time to get naked!?" he squawked.
"Right about when you were busy moaning your lungs out," Leon deadpanned, spreading Luis' cheeks to expose his spit-slick hole again. "Oh, wait—you did that the whole time."
Luis snickered and shot back a half-hearted, "Fuck you," but rather than argue, Leon unceremoniously spat onto his hole. "Ugh. How romantic," Luis complained, but squirmed and canted his hips to try and grind against Leon's cock anyway.
"C’mon, none of that," Leon said, one of his hands moving to Luis' back to pin him against the mattress with his unfair strength. "Just relax. I'll take care of you, okay?"
Luis bit his lip as two instincts warred in his head. There was the ever-present part of his personality that always wanted to push back, to question and argue until he got the last word: a quality that had earned him a doctorate in just five years and a gorgeous American agent as a boyfriend in under twenty-four hours.
But there was also a deep dark corner of his soul that nobody but Leon got to see. Something in Luis that craved to give in, to forget about BOW's and research notes and simply be at someone else's mercy, until nothing existed in his head but pleasure or pain or whatever else Leon decided to give him. Luis didn't know if he could get there today, but if Leon wanted to try…
Luis exhaled shakily, relaxing against the bed in a gesture of surrender. "Okay."
"There you go," Leon said, his voice dropping low in a stark contrast to his usual snark. "Now be a good boy and stay still."
Luis didn't really have a choice in the matter: in this position, he really was at Leon's mercy.
The thought only made his erection throb more insistently, and, well, it looked like maybe he could get there after all.
“That’s it,” Leon said, the wet tip of his cock nudging against Luis’ hole. "You ready?"
Luis nodded and with one hard push, the fat head of Leon's cock slipped inside. Luis’ breath caught in his throat at the initial penetration, his rim burning as he stretched around Leon's familiar girth. Leon continued pushing forward until Luis felt heavy balls resting against his perineum.
Leon paused once he was fully seated. "You okay, hot stuff?" he asked.
"Always, mi príncipe," Luis managed with a shaky smile even as he gripped the sheets on either side of his head in anticipation of what was to come.
Not a moment later, Leon started to move. He grabbed Luis by the hips and thrust into him with deep and hard strokes, spit and precum barely enough to ease the way as he fucked Luis open. It was too much, too soon—
—And just the way Luis liked it.
"Mmh, Leon," Luis moaned, clutching the sheets as his body was forced to adjust to the rough pace.
"Fuck," Leon grunted. "You feel so good. Every fucking time."
Luis was already trembling, hyper aware of every delicious inch of Leon's cock as it dragged against his sensitive rim and occasionally brushed over his prostate. Leon wasn't a young man anymore but he sure fucked like one, always using every bit of his stamina and those strong muscles to steadily piston on until Luis was sobbing from pleasure or screaming as he came.
Usually both.
"You're so tight," Leon said, never faltering from the rough pace he’d set. "Fucking made to take my cock."
Luis bit his lip and whined, the filthy words from his normally reserved lover turning him on just as much as the thick cock spearing him open. He wasn’t sure how long he'd be able to last if Leon kept going like this, but he'd try his best—he just wanted to be good for Leon.
Luis welcomed the heady rush of endorphins as he reached for that thought, blanking out everything in his mind that wasn't pleasuring Leon. Here, he didn’t need to be Luis Serra the brilliant scientist or quick-witted smartass; he could simply let himself be an object of Leon's desire. Luis was just here to take cock, look pretty and do whatever Leon asked of him.
So when Leon leaned back and roughly spread Luis’ asscheeks to look, Luis only enjoyed the surge of arousal and humiliation alike flashing through his body.
"Fuck," Leon cursed, no doubt staring at his own cock plunging into Luis' ass and stretching him to his limit. "Look at you, such a pretty sight. It's like you were made to be fucked."
Luis' hole clenched around Leon and he muffled a whine against the bed. He was being good, Leon thought he was pretty, he was making Leon feel good—
"Fuck, you love this, don't you?" Leon kept going as he pounded away, seemingly oblivious to how his words were scrambling Luis' brain. "Always need a cock filling your slutty hole."
Luis groaned long and loud, something deep in his chest coming loose at the dirty praise. Next thing he knew, Leon's hand was in his hair, roughly yanking his head up from the mattress.
Luis winced from the sting in his scalp but his cock twitched happily at how easy it was for Leon to push him around like this.
"Tell me," Leon ordered, apparently not satisfied with Luis' wordless moans against the sheets. "Tell me how good I’m fucking you."
"So good, cariño, so good," Luis blabbered, his usual wit just a whisper at the back of his mind as his whole body sang with Leon, Leon, Leon. "Nobody else makes me feel like this."
"Keep going," Leon grunted, thrusting in hard.
"It feels good! ¡Ah, joder—please, please don't stop!" Luis begged.
"Good boy," Leon praised.
Satisfied with Luis' efforts, Leon let go of his hair and grabbed his hips with both hands instead, making Luis' head flop back down against the mattress bonelessly.
"You feel so good. You're amazing," Leon breathed, then tightened his grip on Luis' hips and said, "Such a good little slut."
“Yours,” Luis murmured automatically, eyes fluttering close as the filthy praise settled under his skin. “Your good slut.”
Leon groaned and abruptly dragged Luis down the bed and back against his cock, hips snapping up hard as he fucked in deeper than before.
"Ah—ah, fuck!" Luis exclaimed, briefly overwhelmed by the sudden surge of pleasure.
Leon gave him no time to adjust before he did it again, sliding almost fully out of Luis’ hole before thrusting back in and pulling Luis’ helpless body down to meet him, effortlessly manhandling Luis onto his cock.
"Leon!" Luis practically screamed, his neglected cock dragging against the sheets with every thrust.
"Fuck, you're still so tight," Leon panted, settling back into a rough pace. "Feels so fucking good."
Luis whimpered as his hole was rammed into again and again, Leon's cock now a relentless pressure against his prostate and the sweaty sheets a burning friction against his dick, his ass red and raw from where Leon's hips slapped against the cheeks with every thrust. Luis could barely move in Leon's strong grip but he arched his back as much as he could, giving Leon better access to his hole.
"God, just like that," Leon said, voice dark and possessive. "You're mine. All," thrust, "fucking," thrust, "mine."
Luis bit his lip and fisted the sheets, a sob finally breaking free and hot tears falling down his face. His entire body felt like a live wire, raw and exposed and riding the edge between pleasure and pain. He could feel his orgasm just out of reach—just one pump of Leon’s hand on his cock would probably be enough to set him off.
"Mi amor," Luis whined. "Touch me, I can’t…I need to come.”
"Not yet," Leon grunted, pinning Luis’ hips against the bed while never faltering from his pace. "I'm so close—I'm gonna fuck you just like this, and you're gonna take it."
Luis sobbed at being denied the little friction he had. Leon kept pounding into him, holding Luis in place with strong arms and thick thighs and using his body as he pleased, keeping Luis's poor dick is trapped uselessly against the sheets.
Luis' mind went hazy at the edges as his body relaxed; he was nothing but a warm hole for Leon's cock, just a toy for him to use—
"Oh, you like that? You just want me to hold you down and fuck you, use your ass and fill you up?" Leon panted. "That's my good fucking whore."
At Leon's words, something in Luis broke and his orgasm punched through him out of nowhere. Pleasure surged through his entire body and he came with a quiet sob, dick spurting messily between the mattress and his stomach and ass clenching around Leon's still pistoning cock.
"Oh, fuck," Leon groaned, rhythm faltering as he fucked Luis through his release. "You came from just my cock, sweetheart? Fuck, you're so good, so sweet for me."
Fondness fluttered in Luis' chest at the pet name and absolute awe in Leon's voice. The aftershocks of his orgasm washed over him like gentle waves lapping at the shoreline, his body going boneless and his slack mouth drooling onto the sheets as Leon’s thrusts rocked him forward on the bed.
Leon’s legs were starting to tremble on top of him, his heavy breaths of exertion filling the room as he slowly fucked into Luis' tender hole, still chasing his release. A weak jolt of arousal rushed through Luis at the realization that Leon still wanted to finish in his useless, fucked-out body.
"Do it,” Luis croaked, his voice wrecked. “Do it, mi vida, por favor."
"What? What do you need, baby?" Leon asked, clear concern in his voice and his thrusts stilling even this close to his orgasm.
"Use me," Luis moaned, weakly clenching around Leon's cock, his body alight with overstimulation but needing Leon to keep going. His blood burned with humiliation as he begged, "Use my slutty hole to come."
"F-fuck...Okay," Leon said, and Luis could almost pinpoint the exact second that his control snapped.
Leon’s hands tightened on Luis’ hips and he started bucking into him hard and wild, making Luis choke on whimpers and hitching moans as Leon’s cock plunged into his oversensitive body. He hung on for dear life and reveled in the sting of his sore muscles and abused hole, something dark and primal within him purring with satisfaction at Leon’s needy grunts as he chased his pleasure with abandon.
It wasn’t long until Leon’s rhythm faltered and his thick cock swelled even further inside Luis. Leon groaned and buried himself balls-deep, fingers squeezing Luis’ hips hard enough to leave bruises.
"Ugh, shit," Leon grunted as he filled Luis with his release, shallowly grinding into him to ride it out. "Luis, fuck…"
Luis heaved in a shuddering breath, his sensitive body twitching in time with the last pulses of Leon’s cock inside him. When Leon pulled out, his hole clenched feebly on nothing, and Luis shivered as the cool air of the room caressed over the wet skin.
Leon collapsed on his back next to Luis, both of them panting and shaking from the intensity—and in Leon’s case, physical exertion—of their coupling.
Luis was a mess. His hair was soaked with sweat and the sheets weren’t faring much better, the drying cum sticky between his skin and the mattress. His hole throbbed with every heartbeat, sloppy and raw from being well and thoroughly fucked.
“Fuck,” Leon groaned after a few minutes.
Luis chuckled deliriously. “Good morning to you too, mi amor.”
Luis blindly groped around for a pillow and dragged it under his face to make himself comfortable; he had no intention of leaving this bed any time soon.
Leon brushed some of Luis' sweaty hair from his face, making Luis peer up at him with the eye not squished against the pillow.
Leon's lips pulled up in a small smile. "Hi."
Luis grinned. How one man could go from completely wrecking Luis in the best way to immediately blushing and smiling like a dork was a mystery that only Leon S. Kennedy knew the answer to.
"'Hi'?" Luis repeated. "You rail me into the mattress and call me your good little slut and then hi? Dios mío, I am dripping with your semen, this is not exactly the time for modesty.”
Leon's cheeks pinked and he bowed his head to make his bangs hide some of his face, a nervous habit he'd kept all these years. It wasn't very fitting for a high-ranking DSO operative, but Luis adored it—it reminded him of the young agent with kind eyes who had stumbled into Luis' life ten years ago.
"So that was okay?" Leon asked, still gently petting Luis' hair. "Not too much?"
Ten years of experience had taught Luis that as much as Leon loved being in control and doing and saying all sorts of filthy things to a very enthusiastic Luis, he always craved reassurance afterwards. Being physically stronger and whatnot, Leon needed to hear that he hadn't hurt Luis—at least not more than he had asked for—and that Luis knew he loved him deeply despite his roughness or demeaning words.
Of course, Luis thought of all that as a given and found it a little silly. But this was his Leon, and there was little Luis wouldn't do to make him happy.
"It was incredible. Amazing. Fantástico," Luis slurred, his eyelids heavy. He was very close to drifting off in a lazy sleep, the wet spot be damned.
"Okay. Good," Leon said, visibly relaxing. "You were amazing too. You did so good, I…It just blows me away how perfect you are. Every time."
Luis hummed at the sweet words and allowed his eyes to slip shut. Leon wasn’t usually this soft or this earnest with his compliments, but it was a nice change of pace from their usual back-and-forth. This was Leon’s way of being vulnerable and Luis was forever grateful that Leon had chosen him to share this fragile part of himself with, all those years ago.
He heard Leon let out a small, satisfied sigh and then there was a soft brush of warmth against Luis’ temple.
"Get some rest, Don Quixote," Leon murmured, and after placing another gentle peck on the skin, pushed out of bed with an, "I'll get breakfast started."
Luis smiled to himself; Leon knew him so well. Where Leon needed reassurance after spectacularly intense sex like they'd just had, Luis needed to simply be. The endorphins were still muddling his brain into a pleasant haze, his whole body relaxing into a quiet calm very welcome from his usual jitteriness and racing thoughts.
Luis was almost asleep when the bedroom door creaked back open.
"Luis," Leon said pointedly.
Luis didn't have the energy to move a muscle. "Mm?"
"Did you seduce me just to get out of doing the dishes you've been piling up for two fucking weeks?" Leon accused.
Luis smirked lazily against the pillow. Luis: two, Leon: zero. "A knight always outwits his squire," he murmured.
Leon's huff of "Fucker" was as fond as it was exasperated before he disappeared back to the kitchen.
And when Leon eventually served them breakfast in bed from paper plates and sweetly said, "Don't worry, I left your mountain of dishes completely untouched," Luis could only laugh at the resourcefulness of his trusty Sancho Panza.
