"You look exhausted. When was the last time you slept? Or ate something? Well, it's about to be right now because I'm taking you to lunch. C'mon, let's go tough guy."
The last time he slept? Guess that depends on her definition of it. He suspects she means something pulled from a set of I Love Lucy: reading glasses and peeling off a velvet robe before lights out. Leon can't exactly say he's ever deluded himself into thinking he'll ever attain that chapter of domesticity, but the couch in his office is comfortable, if a little lumpy; his jacket, when balled up, makes for a right enough pillow in a pinch.
Something tells him Sherry wouldn't consider a hurried breakfast grabbed out the door---one Granny Smith apple and a baggy of turkey jerky---very up to par. "I'm not exactly the poster child for machismo, Sherr. No need to twist my arm."
If she was expecting him to put up a fight, he's sorry to disappoint. Leon stands from his seat at the desk, shuts off his monitor and sends a half-finished field report spinning into oblivion. Outta sight, outta mind, or so the saying goes.
Man's gotta eat, right?

❝ is that my tank top ? ❞ of course it was. they were the same size , sherry could fit in just about anything jill owned. ❝ i told you you could spend the night , not raid my closet. ❞ though she’s hardly annoyed. just a little amused. / @tripledshot.
"Ok, don't panic. But there's a spider on my shoulder and I desperately need your help please!"
unprompted // always accepting .
HAD THE AFOREMENTIONED SPIDER creeping down her shoulder been humongous, it’d cause a complete turnabout reaction then ranging attacks from steve. — the knight in shining armor, everyone. — however, seeing sherry’s panicked expression & hearing stuttering calls for help, he couldn’t help but chuckle. what an adorable sight, he can’t deny that. ❛ don’t worry, princess sherry - i got this ! ❜ without further ado, his hand reached for her shoulder as fingers brush the spider which lands right in the palm of his other hand. ❛ there we go. wasn’t so bad, don’t ya’ think .... ? here, i’ll throw it away so it doesn’t annoy you anymore. ❜
@tripledshot @zombiexpress-gone y’all are really out there doing the fucking most and shipping leon with sherry , little girl he’s known since she was TWELVE and he was in his TWENTIES , huh ?
@tripledshot ❤’d.
she’s sitting on the counter in her kitchen , watching as sherry goes through the process of warming up a cup of tea. they hadn’t talked much about their experiences in raccoon city. not wanting to dwell on things that had traumatized the both of them so severely. but she has to ask. ❝ so you met claire ? ❞ she asks. she’d only come face to face with the girl once or twice , but saw photos of her on chris’ desk all the time.
@tripledshot said : “ i push everyone away, but in a way, i am doing them a favor. ” / meme ( accepting. )
❝ you don’t mean that , ❞ she frowns. brow softening. feet carry her closer , a hand coming to rest ‘pon sherry’s shoulder as she takes a seat beside her. she retracts her hand , using her own shoulder to nudge the younger girl. ❝ i , for one , think my life would be a little more dull without you. ❞ an affirmative nod , smile squishing her eyes shut just barely.

She’s not a little girl anymore. She’s not the bright-eyed, small-smiled child who needed the story watered down and the hall lights left on. He and Claire told her everything she wanted to know throughout the years, taking even the more uncomfortable questions to heart and answering them as honestly---as gently---as they could.
He thinks she liked when they told stories, too. Not the kind of fairies and witches, but the ones where heroes caught the bad guys the monsters got locked up and came out healed and cured of their darkness. She liked tales of family and loyalty and heroes finding every sort of discoverable love she could think of.
Leon can’t say for sure if she found all of them, but some? When she, asleep, curled up beneath bedroom covers and clutched a stuffed rabbit, frayed and hug-worn. The day she’d discovered a ladybug tucked behind the petals of a daisy after rainfall. The first time Sherry looked herself in the eye in the mirror and forgot to flinch. The Muller kid and the way her eyes light up around him; Leon’s gotta guess he’s his own can of worms and stomach butterflies even Claire’d take a while to unpack.
After everything, you’d think she’d have learned: if God didn’t demand to be implicitly felt or seen or held to exist, then neither did love. Some argued they were one in the same. If God was indescribable, then how could anyone dare to put parameters around love---or decide who was or wasn’t worthy of it?
Whether Sherry believes in God or not has no affect on his own faith. Whether Sherry believes anyone loves her or not doesn’t stop the fact that someone does. Jake Muller does. Claire does. And of course, so does he. More than anything.
“Be easy to say God loves you. But how often does He pick up the phone?”
