"Shh, shh Leon, Leon. You're home, you're safe." Your hand pressed against Leon's arm as he takes in quick shallow breaths. Gun unwavering as its pointed to the darkest corner of the room as Leon's eyes take the time to adjust.
"Leon, baby, we're home, you're okay." Another coo, another soft caress of his flexed bicep of the arm that props up his weight. Your heart racing nearly as fast as his from how he startled you awake.
Sitting up suddenly in a sharp inhale, his broad hand grabbing for his gun in quick motion, his other had protectively gone over your body so he could act as a shield.
Pressing a kiss to his exposed shoulder as you wait for him to slowly return to you, to step out of the nightmare he lived in his early twenties. From the blood, from the foul stench of rot, from the tattered welcome sign and the harsh words of his chief he never really got to work for.
"Do not hesitate"
Leon takes in another sharp inhale through his nose, although shaky. Trying once more, forcing himself to do a cyclic sigh. Two deep inhales and one long exhale.
By the time he's ready to fill his lungs again, he's setting his gun down, pulling you into his lap before settling into the plush head board.
"Sorry sweetheart, I know you didn't ask for such an early wake up call." Although there is hardly any mirth in his playful apology.
Sure to keep your gaze off of his face as he hooks his chin over your shoulder, watching his fingers interlace over your stomach as he pulls you impossibly closer.
"Hmm, I don't mind if it's you." Hummed sweetly as you settled against Leon, pulling the blankets over your laps.
Somewhere in the distance an early bird chirps promising a new dawn, if only one could last the final few dark hours.
"Buuut if you really wanna make it up to me," You lean your head against his, your hand coming up to scratch at his scalp, "you can bribe me with breakfast."
Leon chuckles, brushing his lips along the exposed skin of your shoulder.
"I can do that sweetheart," another kiss then another to your throat, working his way up to nip at your earlobe, "just let me enjoy you for breakfast first."
