Sinking ship
You only agreed to be Leon Kennedy’s fake girlfriend for one night, help him make his ex jealous at a couples-only party, collect a nice purse as payment, and go home. But when old feelings get dragged into the open, a suspicious Chris calls your bluff, and seven minutes in heaven turns into something a lot hotter and messier…
Warnings:Leon Kennedy x Fem!Reader • smut • fake dating • angst?• 7 minutes in heaven • friends to lovers •
The bass from the speakers vibrated through the floorboards of Chris Redfields extravagant house as starlights crisscrossed the ceiling, casting everyone in a warm, hazy glow that made the whole thing feel a little too intimate for a random Saturday night except it was a Couples-only party, you found out when Leon had shown up at your apartment two hours earlier with that half-sheepish, half-cocky grin you knew too well, holding up a bottle of your favorite wine like a peace offering.
"Fake date. One night. My ex is gonna be there with the new guy she's been throwing in my face for weeks. I'll owe you big time." Your payment? You could pick out anything from the mall the next day, it was on him. Now here you were, playing the doting girlfriend while his ex never even glanced your way the whole night.. wow Kennedy, your plan is working out great. Half an hour later, Chris clapped him on the shoulder with a grin that didn't reach his eyes.
"Man, didn't know you were seeing someone. She's cute. How long?"
"Few months," Leon answered smoothly, thumb stroking your hip. Chris's gaze narrowed.
"Right. So how'd you two meet again? Because last time I saw you, you were bitching about being chronically single. I didn't think you'd even show up to the party.."
The air thickened. You felt Leon tense. You laughed lightly, turning to kiss Leon's jaw. If you're already here the least you could do was take advantage of the situation.
"Blind date, mutual friend set us up and what can I say.. it was love at first sight. End of story."
Chris hummed, unconvinced. "Cute story.." But there was something about his tone.. like he wasn't fully convinced.
The night wore on and still not even one look from his ex, so Leon upped the ante: a hand sliding down to squeeze your ass when he thought she was looking, a slow kiss at the corner of your mouth–never a real one–that left you breathless and wanting for more. The line between pretend and real blurred with every passing minute. Your skin felt too hot and you kept pressing your thighs togheter, but you had to remind yourself that this was not real, it was just a game for him, for his ego. At least you'll get a cute designer purse.
Eventually the host banged a spoon against a bottle. “Alright, degenerates! Classic rules. Seven minutes in heaven. No backing out. We're drawing couples so no one leaves heartbroken"
You fought a groan from bubbling up your throat while the circle formed. When Chris pulled the slip with both of your names,he barked out a laugh from across the room.
“Perfect timing,” he called. “You two lovebirds need a minute to cool off anyway. Go on.”
Leon’s jaw flexed, but he played along, taking your hand and leading you into the small guest room. The door clicked shut behind you. A single lamp cast low golden light over a made bed and a closet full of coats. The lock turned, Chris had clearly decided to play enforcer. Silence stretched for three heartbeats.Then Leon exhaled a low laugh, running a hand through his hair. “We’re busted. He knows.”
“Probably,” you agreed, pulse hammering. “So… do we just stand here awkwardly for seven minutes?” Leon stepped closer. The fake-dating tension had been simmering all night, his hand on your thigh under the table, the way you’d leaned into his neck and inhaled his cologne, the heated looks neither of you had needed to fake. His eyes darkened as they dropped to your mouth.
“Or,” he said, voice rough, “we stop pretending.”
Your back hit the door. Leon caged you there with one arm, the other tilting your chin up. The first kiss was testing. Then you parted your lips and he groaned, deepening it instantly. His tongue slid against yours, hungry, years of buried want suddenly unleashed. You fisted his shirt, pulling him flush.
“Fuck, you’ve been driving me crazy all night,” he growled against your mouth. His hands roamed down your sides, gripping your ass and lifting you so your legs wrapped around his waist. The hard line of his cock pressed against your core through his jeans, and you rocked into it shamelessly.
“Leon— I thought you still liked your ex" you pant between kisses "isn't that why you invited me in the first place?"
"Fuck no,” Leon growled between hot, open-mouthed kisses along your throat
“I stopped caring about her the second you said yes. I just needed an excuse to finally have you like this.”
"Tell me to stop and I will.” His hand came up, thumb brushing your lower lip. “But I’m tired of pretending I don’t want this.”
Your hands fumbled with his belt. He helped you, shoving his jeans down just enough to free his cock, already thick, flushed dark, already leaking at the tip. You wrapped your fingers around him and stroked once, twice. Leon hissed, hips jerking forward.
“Careful,” he warned, voice rough. He pushed your dress up to your waist and yanked your lace panties down your legs. He tucked them into his pocket with a wicked little smirk, then dropped to his knees between your spread thighs.
“Look at you,” he breathed, spreading you open with his thumbs.
“So fucking wet for me already.” He leaned in and licked a slow, broad stripe up your center, groaning at the taste. Then he stopped teasing. His mouth sealed over your clit, sucking gently while two thick fingers pushed inside you, curling just right.Your head fell back, a broken sound escaping your throat. He ate you out like he was trying to ruin you for anyone, sucking until your thighs shook around his ears. The wet sounds filled the tiny room, obscene and perfect.“Leon...fuck, gonna come..”
He hummed against you and pumped his tongue inside you faster. You came hard, hips bucking against his face, biting your lip to keep from screaming loud enough for the whole party to hear. He didn’t give you time to recover. Leon rose, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and pulled you to the edge of the couch. He rubbed the head of his cock through your slick folds, teasing your sensitive clit until you whimpered, then pushed in with one deep thrust.
“Shit—” you gasped at the stretch. He was big, but you were so wet it didn’t matter. He bottomed out with a low curse, forehead pressed to yours.
“Been wanting this for so long,” he admitted, voice ragged as he started to move. Slow at first, savoring it, then harder, deeper, the couch creaking beneath you. You clung to his shoulders, nails digging in, legs locked around his waist. Every thrust dragged against that perfect spot inside you, building the pressure again impossibly fast. His hand slipped between your bodies, thumb circling your clit in tight, slick strokes.
“Come on, baby. One more. Want to feel you milking my cock”
The words tipped you over. You came again with a sharp cry, clenching around him so hard his rhythm stuttered. Leon followed right after, burying himself deep and groaning your name as he spilled inside you, hips grinding through the last pulses.
For a minute you just stayed connected, breathing hard, his face buried in your neck when a loud knock rattled the door.
“Time’s up!” Chris yelled, sounding way too amused.
“You kids decent in there?” Leon huffed a laugh against your skin. He pulled out slowly and rolled his eyes, but his hand found yours, squeezing once before he unlocked the door.
“We’re good,” he said casually as you both stepped back into the party lights, your cheeks flushed and a very obvious hickey blooming on your neck. Chris took one look at the two of you: messed-up hair, swollen lips, the way Leon’s arm stayed wrapped possessively around your waist and let out a low whistle. “Yeah… thought so. About damn time.”

to your chagrin, you get partnered with an irritating DSO agent who happens to take an interest in the case you're working on.

you had worked in the dso for almost a year now doing logistics and communications. you preferred the quiet and being behind a screen. however, sherry believed that working as an assistant for leon would benefit not only you, but him too.
caught in the rain- Series, Mutual pining, Yearning, Smut -by @leonsleatherjacket
tired, exhausted and inexperienced at thirty, you couldn't imagine your older co-worker, leon s. kennedy, having any sort of feelings towards you. because obviously getting you coffee everyday, buying you snacks on his way to work and taking you out to lunch was a friend thing.
Who doesn’t want uppies from daddy Leon right…
right?

thinking about re9! leon kennedy with an extremely gen z brain rotted partner . . .
you’re laying on the couch, dressed with the stupidest shirt you could find, and leon has just gotten out of the shower after an entire day spent running after idiots that somehow managed to govern his state when he saw you, giggling at the screen while a ringtone echoes in the apartment.
“what’s up? who’s calling you?” he asks in that stupidly hot voice of his, walking closer.
“john pork,” you say, showing him the video. leon can only sigh and shake his head, sitting down with you.
“and you’re laughing because…?” he raises an eyebrow. “it’s supposed to be funny?”
“it is funny, leon,” you say, bringing the phone closer to your face. dangerously so. your-corneas-are-going-to-catch-fire type of close. leon, poor innocent man that was just hoping to spend the night with you, laid down right next to you and the two of you rolled around until you got comfortable laying against his chest. he watches you scroll through tiktok and after ten minutes, he stops a video.
a fish with a cat’s face with written ‘fih’ on top, and the same ringtone from before. he feels your shoulders shake, and groans. “that’s- that’s a cat fish calling. it’s not funny, baby.”
“it is! you’re just old and don’t understand this!” you contest through laughter, and helpless, he wiggles his way out because just from a few videos on your fyp he felt his brain melting and needed a drink.
but just as he walked into the kitchen, you put down your phone and called out for him. “leon?”
he takes a deep breath in and slowly peeks his head out of the doorway, glancing at you. “yes, sweetheart?”
little did he know, you were actually recording him to post online later. “are you gonna give me some of that kennedih later?”
leon’s lips purse, his brows furrow. “kennedih- what’s a-” but he stops, knowing that it’s probably something stupid. without answering, he disappears back into the kitchen.
“go to sleep, y/n.”
you giggle. “but what about the kennedih?”
“i’m taking your phone away. and i’m not gonna get you a kennedih.”
i need him so bad
TAKEN, APPARENTLY
SYNOPSIS. They have feelings for you!! Unfortunately for him, you're married. How does he react?
FEATURING. Childe, Lohen, Pantalone, Varka, Zhongli
WORD COUNT. 1.7k total
NOTES. I have been fantasising about this for a while. No explicit infidelity but boy, will some of these men certainly try.
Childe
This man does NOT care in the slightest. If anything, he’s excited by it.
Childe finds the whole situation entertaining in a way that's almost endearing if it weren't so utterly disrespectful. He doesn't see your wedding ring as a stop sign. For him, it makes things more interesting because now there's an added layer of complexity, an actual obstacle. And Childe has never backed down from a challenge in his life.
He’ll send you lots and lots and lots of gifts. Intricate bouquets of flowers, expensive jewellery, and little notes with cheeky messages that make your face burn. It's infuriating because he's not even subtle about it. He knows you know. You know he knows. And somehow that makes it worse, or better, depending on how you look at it. Childe is utterly shameless, so good luck reeling him back.
When your spouse is around, Childe shifts into a different gear entirely. He becomes aggressively polite in a way that's more insulting than rudeness. He'll compliment your spouse's choice in you with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. And Childe is petty, so he’ll be extra condescending to your partner: “Wow, they must have been feeling pretty generous when they chose you, huh?” Your spouse is sitting there fuming, but what are they gonna do? Challenge a Fatui Harbinger? Lol, good luck.
Childe will touch your shoulder when passing by. He'll remember small details about you that your spouse has forgotten. He'll show up at your favorite places and act surprised to see you, like the universe just keeps throwing you together. And through it all, that infuriating smile never wavers, because Childe knows exactly what he's doing and he's having far too much fun to care about the consequences.
"Hey gorgeous, married life treating you right? Because I could do better."
Lohen
Married? That's hilarious. Lohen finds out you're married and his first reaction is genuine, unrestrained laughter. Like you've just told him the best joke he's heard in weeks. A challenge. An actual obstacle. This is the most fun he's had in ages. He doesn't see your wedding ring as a boundary; he sees it as the opening move in a game he's about to play.
He shows up everywhere after that. And there is absolutely no subtlety in it. He does not even pretend to try that he is not courting you. He'll find you during your day with that sharp grin, pull you into dangerous situations for the sheer thrill of it, and act genuinely hurt when you try to push him away. "Come on, where's your sense of adventure?" He reads people too easily to miss how conflicted you are, and that just makes it more entertaining to him. Aw, did you just blush when he pulled you close? That’s just more ammunition for him to continue.
When your spouse is around, Lohen doesn't bother with politeness. He's openly dismissive in that sharp way of his, looking at them like they're a minor obstacle. He'll call out the weaknesses in their stance, mock their choices, make it abundantly clear he thinks they're beneath him. "You picked them?" he'll say to you, gesturing at your spouse with barely concealed disdain. "That's disappointing."
He challenges your spouse to duels constantly, Actual calls to prove themselves. "Come on, show me what you've got. Or are you too scared?" There's no pretense of friendliness, just that chaotic grin and the very real threat underneath it. He wants to test them, wants to prove he's stronger, faster, better in every way. And when your spouse declines or hesitates, Lohen laughs like they've just confirmed what he already knew. That they're not worthy of you.
And if they accept? Yeah, that fight is anything but clean. Surely, you don’t mind if he hurts them only a little bit, right? They’ll recover… in a couple weeks. You can spend that time with him!
"Married to someone that dull? Lucky for you I'm around to make things interesting."
Pantalone
Your marriage is a curiosity to him, nothing more.
Pantalone hears you're married and it barely registers as information worth filing away. He's made it abundantly clear through his entire existence that social conventions are for people who can't afford to ignore them. He has money, taste, and a level of charm that makes your marital status seem almost quaint by comparison. Why would he care about a contract that costs nothing and binds you to someone ordinary when he can offer you everything?
He pursues you methodically, the way he pursues everything worth having. Invitations arrive on expensive paper—to galas, private auctions, exclusive dinners at restaurants. He sends you jewelry that's clearly meant to be worn, flowers that bloom in impossible colors, bottles of wine older than most towns. Each gift is calculated to make you feel like you belong in his world, because in Pantalone's mind, you already do.
When you decline his invitations, he smiles like you've said something amusing. "Oh, a pity. I was so looking forward to it." He pauses, studying you with that sharp gaze. "Though I suspect you'll change your mind eventually. People usually do when they realize what they're missing."
When he meets your spouse, there's no acknowledgment of the relationship at all. He treats them like furniture. Polite enough, but utterly unremarkable. He'll talk past them, direct his attention entirely to you, and make it abundantly clear through sheer indifference that your spouse's existence is beneath consideration. He isn’t cruel, per se, but the stone cold apathy is shocking. But I mean, what else did you expect from the Regrator?
He'll invite you to exclusive events, knowing full well you're married. He'll compliment you in ways that are technically innocent but absolutely not. He'll make you feel like the most interesting person in every room while your spouse fades into background noise. And he does it all with such practiced elegance that it's hard to even be angry about it. And Pantalone doesn't acknowledge obstacles he doesn't consider obstacles.
"Darling, there's an exhibition opening tomorrow. Quite exclusive. Pity you felt obligated to refuse."
Varka
The moment he finds out you're married, Varka accepts it with genuine respect that comes from someone with actual principles. It’s to be expected of course, from the Grandmaster of the Knights. He backs off immediately—no flirting, no lingering touches, nothing that crosses a line. He means it too. His sense of responsibility is too strong to entertain anything else. You're off-limits. He respects that.
Except he's absolutely terrible at actually following through on it.
He'll catch himself mid-conversation laughing at something you said, and the laugh is too warm, too genuine, like you've just said the funniest thing he's heard in weeks. He volunteers for patrols he doesn't need to go on if he knows you'll be there. He flexes his muscles without thinking about it—lifting heavy things with one hand, rolling up his sleeves when you walk by, that casual display of strength that he tells himself has nothing to do with you being present. He's just proud of his physique. It has nothing to do with wanting you to notice. Definitely not. And yeah, so what if Varka tries to be the funniest person in the room whenever you walk in? He’s just naturally charming, that’s all.
When your spouse is around, Varka shifts into his easygoing charm. He's genuinely friendly, treats them like any other person he gets along with, makes jokes and offers drinks like there's no tension at all. But then you'll say something, and for just a moment his eyes linger on you a little too long. He'll compliment you in a way that sounds casual but carries weight underneath it. He catches himself doing it and looks away quickly, uncomfortable with his own slip-up.
You notice it every time. The way his shoulders straighten when you walk into a room. How he unconsciously positions himself so he can see you better. The split second where his mask drops and you catch something genuine underneath before he remembers himself and shifts back into friendly, easygoing Varka. He's trying so hard to be respectful, and that effort itself is what makes it obvious that he's fighting something. You see the conflict, the way he's wrestling with his own nature, and somehow that makes it worse.
It's not intentional. That's the thing about Varka—his pride in himself, his easy confidence, his strength—it all comes out around you whether he wants it to or not. He's trying to be respectful. He really is. But his nature keeps betraying him in small, unguarded moments.
"That's great, really. You picked someone solid. Still, if you ever need anything, I'm around."
Zhongli
Being the God of contracts, he accepts your marriage to be a fact set in stone. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that stone can’t be moved, is it?
Zhongli will curb his overt courting rituals, like asking you out to dinner or kissing your hand upon greeting. But his more gentleman-ly side is always evident when it comes to you. He walks you home in the evenings. And sure, he’ll keep a respectful distance but all it takes is one particularly strong gust of wind or a merchant’s cart veering too close to you for his hand to come up to your side and pull you near him. He’s so kind about it too that you aren’t sure if this is meant to be anything at all.
He invites you over for tea (alone, just with him). Zhongli knows exactly how you make your tea, the amount of sugar you like, and the type of brew he should prepare. And so what if the tea takes four hours to make? You and him are just having polite conversation. It’s not as though your spouse knows the way you take your tea either, so this is really just a way for you to relax!!
When your partner is around, Zhongli simply smiles. He’s seen many relationships in his time, and to be frank with you, he does not exactly see what is so special about your partner lol. Nevertheless, he would not cross any lines, but he is just an extra bit nicer, a tad bit more courteous, his words just a little sweeter with you when they are around. He really wants to show your partner what true devotion looks like.
“Married? I see. Well, contracts can be renegotiated, given the right circumstances. Until then, consider me a reminder of what else might have been possible.”

Your stoic, methodical Nanami never cries ༯
You knew that already. You memorized his tells.
You knew when work was stressing him, he would simply pinch the bridge of his nose, tuck his chin near his chest, adjust his glasses, and straighten the tie that didn’t need fixing. And whenever the world was weighing on him, he would bury his pain into a ferocious bite in a delicious pastry at his favorite bakery.
But nope, you never saw a tear. He simply never cries, you believed.
That is until the heavy doors of the venue swung open.
As you stepped into the view, you could hear the entire room catch their breath in awe. There were friends, family, coworkers, and you could even hear the proud hums from them, as well as the gasping. But once your eyes averted from the flowers in your hands to meet Nanami’s eyes, you realized no one had seemed to lose it completely like Nanami.
Instead of merely adjusting his glasses, his trembling hands removed them, pressing his hands to his beet-reddened face. The tears that you swore were dry pellets in his system that didn’t budge, were wet streams down his cheeks and unstoppable.
Oh boy, and as you drew closer, he covered his mouth, desperately muffling the sob that wanted to praise you; that wanted to worship how beautifully the dress accentuated every curve in your body; that wanted to tell you how your curls complimented your face, and just how lucky he was.
But just like the very best best man should, Yu had completed the words Nanami couldn’t.
“I told you she was going to break you man,” he exclaimed, handing Nanami the handkerchief from his suit pocket into his shaky hands. “Look at her! You’re the luckiest guy alive.” He cheered, rubbing his back and gazing at you.
When your feet brought you to the altar, stopping right in front of him, your heart thumped at how completely undone he looked. His eyes, still welled with tears, were almost puffy. His hair that were slicked sharply when you first entered, had a couple strands that fell to his forehead.
He pulled his glasses to his face, lenses fogging up immediately from the heat. He swallowed hard and took your hands in his. Gentle, as always. The trembling had faded under your touch.
“Kento,” you whispered, smile at your lips.
He looked into your eyes at the sweet call of his name from your voice, breath shaky once he stared into yours.
“I am indeed, the luckiest man in the world.”
a/n: thought of this when thinking about the idea of my bf not crying at the sight of me at our wedding like boy i will turn around and keep walking out until you do.

three weeks. twenty one days. five hundred and four hours.thirty thousand, two hundred and forty minutes.
it sounded like absolutely nothing when you just said the words out loud. it was just a measurement of time, a blip on a calendar that ordinary people passed through without a second thought.
ordinary people went to the grocery store, paid their rent, watched the seasons begin to turn. but for you, living through it... existing inside that suffocating, drawn out span of time felt like dragging your exhausted body through amiles long field of agony since that night.
every single second was a dragging weight for you. the aftermath of what took place at the russian sanatorium had clung to you like a cold memory that settled deep into the marrow of your bones and refused to let go. but the worst part wasn't the memories of the mission itself.
it wasn't the smell of damp concrete and metallic decay that seemed to haunt your apartment. it wasn't the coppery scent of blood, or the blinding adrenaline that left you shivering and drenched in cold sweat in the dead of the night. it wasn't even the sensation of the rusted surgical table biting into your back, or the bruising grip of leon's hands on your hips, though those memories alone were enough to make your breath hitch and your eyes burn with unshed tears.
no. the absolute worst part, the part that was actively tearing you apart piece by bloody piece, was the silence. the crushing, deafening silence from the one person you needed most in the entire world right now.
leon.
the interactions between you and leon had dissolved into complete nothingness for the past few days. it was as if that night, that brutal, shattering night where the two of you had finally crossed every single line drawn between you, had been entirely erased from his head.
you were reduced to a passing shadow in the sterile, brightly lit hallways of the dso. you were nothing more than a ghost haunting the breakroom. when you both were unavoidably forced into the same room for department updates or passing shift changes, all you received was a simple, impersonal nod from him.
the briefest fraction of a second of eye contact before he would forcibly tear his gaze away. his jaw would lock tight, a muscle ticking violently in his cheek, and his expression would instantly morph into an impenetrable, towering fortress of ice. it was rare.
it was painfully short. and it was killing you. you hated yourself for it.
you hated the pathetic, desperate way your heart would completely stop the second you caught a glimpse of his broad shoulders down a corridor. you would spend your evenings sitting on your thrifted velvet couch in your dimly lit apartment, staring blankly at the your laptop screen or by the window, feeling so fucking pathetic for how entirely consumed you were by the loss of him. it wasn't just sadness; it was a physical ache.
it was a echoing cavern right in the very center of your chest, right behind your ribs. you missed him so much it made you physically nauseous. you missed his presence in every room you went in.
you missed the rare, quiet moments on long flights where his high guard would slip just a fraction, where he would let his head rest against the window and just breathe. you missed the unspoken, magnetic understanding that used to thrum between you two, the way you both could hold an entire conversation from across a crowded room just by the arch of an eyebrow or the tilt of a chin. you missed the banter.
you missed being a brat just to see that intense fire ignite in his blue eyes. now, there was just this vast, freezing wasteland. he had locked the door, thrown away the key, and left you standing out in the cold.
but what you didn't know, what you couldn't possibly see through the massive, fortified walls he had built around himself, was that leon kennedy was drowning. for him, it was a thousand times worse. it was a self inflicted torture he couldn't let go.
every single time he caught a glimpse of you, the way your silky hair fell perfectly over your shoulder, the way your delicate fingers tapped against your coffee cup, the exhaustion bruising the skin under your beautiful, expressive eyes, a violent, gut wrenching wave of pure self hatred crashed over him, pulling him under. the guilt was eating him alive from the inside out. he couldn't stop replaying that night in the sanatorium.
it played on an endless, agonizing loop behind his eyelids every time he tried to sleep. he had lost control. he had let years of suppressed, desire snap his fragile restraint in half.
he had pinned you to a filthy table. he had ignored your feelings, masking his own terror with brutal, punishing authority. he had snapped at you when you were vulnerable, when you had just nearly died.
he had taken everything you offered, completely consumed you, and then... what had he done? he had offered you absolutely zero comfort in the weeks that followed.
he had left you to freeze in the dark, emotional fallout while he played that stupid, unaffected senior agent. he thought he was doing the right thing. he truly believed it.
he thought that by shutting you down, by putting up that impenetrable wall of ice, he was protecting you from the walking disaster that he was. he was an older agent made entirely of a lifetime of government mandated violence. he was damaged beyond repair.
and you... you were brilliant, beautiful, full of light, with your entire life ahead of you. he had convinced himself, in the most lonely hours of the night, that dragging you into his suffocating darkness was the ultimate sin he could make.
the rest of the dso building was like a tomb. the sole source of light in his immaculate office was a single desk lamp casting long, harsh shadows across his paperwork. a half empty glass of cheap whiskey sat sweating onto a coaster.
his calloused fingers had hovered over his keyboard for what felt like an eternity. he was filling out the paperwork. a formal request for a supervisor transfer.
he had stared at your name glowing innocently on the bright monitor screen for an entire hour. he traced the letters with his eyes, his heart clenching so painfully he thought he might actually be having a heart attack. he reasoned with himself over and over again.
he told himself that someone else, someone better, someone who wasn't carrying a lifetime of undead ghosts and survivor's guilt, should be your superior. you deserved a clean slate. you deserved a partner who wouldn't bruise your thighs on a rusted table just because he was terrified of losing you.
you deserved a normal life. and with a shaking hand, a hand that had held steady through thousands of firefights, he finally clicked the mouse. he hit submit.
the screen loaded, the request went through to the director's office, and leon dropped his face into his hands, completely shattered. he just hadn't told you. he had been too much of a coward to look you in those beautiful eyes and break your heart to your face.
the call came late on a tuesday night. it was raining outside, a miserable, steady drizzle that matched the desolation inside your apartment. you had been sitting cross legged on your couch, wearing an oversized sweatshirt that had seen better days, a mug of chamomile tea gone completely cold between your hands.
you were just staring at the wall, letting the hours slip by, when your phone buzzed against the coffee table. the sudden noise made you jump. you reached out, your heart giving a pathetic, hopeful flutter.
maybe it was him. maybe he had finally cracked. maybe he was outside your building, standing in the rain, ready to apologize and tell you he couldn't do this anymore.
but hunnigan's name flashed steadily on the illuminated screen. you swallowed hard, the lump in your throat thick and painful, and swiped to answer.
"hello?"
"hey," hunnigan's voice came through the speaker, crisp, professional, and completely devoid of the emotional nuclear bomb she was about to casually drop. "i hope i'm not interrupting your evening.i'm calling to inform you of a structural change regarding your current assignment protocol."
you frowned, your brows knitting together. "a structural change..?i don-don't ..understand. what's going on?
"effective tomorrow morning at zero eight hundred hours, you have been reassigned," hunnigan stated, her tone perfectly even, reading from a script you couldn't see.
"you will no longer be operating under agent kennedy. you'll be reporting directly to a new supervisor."
the moment you heard hunnigan's word you felt like the world completely stopped spinning. the hum of the refrigerator, the sound of the rain against the glass, the ticking of the clock on the wall, it all vanished, sucked into a vacuum. your breath caught sharply in your throat, refusing to go down to your lungs.your fingers tightened around the phone until your knuckles turned stark white.
"what?"you breathed, your voice cracking, sounding incredibly small and fragile. "why? did i... did i do something wrong?is this a disciplinary action?"
"no, it's nothing like that at all," hunnigan replied quickly, though there was a faint, almost softening in her tone. "your record is spotless. it was entirely an internal decision. a request from senior leadership. ''
your new supervisor is agent david miller. he's highly capable, newly promoted, and honestly, he is much closer to your experience bracket. it's believed this will be a much more compatible working dynamic for your continued growth within the dso.his files and your new schedule have already been sent to your encrypted inbox. have a good night. we'll see you tomorrow."
the line went dead. a flat, monotone beep echoing in the quiet apartment. you didn't move.
you couldn't move. the phone slipped from your numb fingers, clattering onto the hardwood floor. the cold tea sloshed dangerously in the mug.
a request from senior leadership.
he had requested it. leon had requested to get rid of you. the realization didn't hit you all at once; it bled into you slowly, paralyzing venom going through your veins.
you didn't sleep a single second that night. you laid in your bed, the soft duvet completely tangled around your legs, the darkness of your bedroom pressing down on your chest like a physical weight. you stared up at the ceiling, and you cried.
you cried until your throat was raw, until your chest physically ached with the force of your sobs, until you were completely, entirely empty. you cried for the loss of him. you cried for the cowardly way you had been discarded.
he hadn't even had the basic human decency to tell you himself. he hadn't even looked you in the eye. he had just filled out a form and handed you off to someone else like you were a piece of defective equipment.like you meant absolutely nothing to him.
the next morning was a waking nightmare. your alarm blared, and you dragged yourself out of bed feeling like you had been hit by a freight train.staring at your reflection in the harsh lighting of your bathroom mirror, you barely recognized yourself. your eyes were swollen, red rimmed, and aching. your skin was devoid of its usual warmth.
you splashed freezing water on your face, methodically brushing out your hair, trying to smooth it down into something resembling professionalism. as you stared at the dark circles under your eyes, a fleeting, desperate, bitter thought crossed your mind.
maybe it is for the better.
maybe this was the universe's harsh way of telling you to finally let him go. to move on. to stop hoping for blood from a stone. to stop pining for a man who evidently, wanted absolutely nothing to do with you.
you tried to force that resolve into your chest. you tried to armor yourself with anger. you told yourself you hated him.you told yourself he was a coward and you were better off without his heavy, suffocating presence.
but it was a lie. the moment you stepped through the sliding glass doors into headquarters, the ache was still there, throbbing and raw and completely debilitating.
and if you were in pain, leon was existing in a state of pure, suffocating, self inflicted torment. the reality of his stubborn, idiotic choice hit him with the force of a physical blow the very first moment he saw you walking down the corridor beside your new supervisor. agent david miller was exactly what hunnigan had said.
he was young, conventionally handsome with a full head of neat, styled brown hair and striking green eyes. he was completely lacking the suffocating, traumatic scars that leon carried in every single line on his face. miller walked with a light step, unburdened by decades of bioterrorism and death.
and leon hated him instantly. he hated him with a fiery, ugly passion. it was a sudden, violent jealousy that flared up in the center of his chest like battery acid, burning his throat.
he stood by the coffee machine in the bullpen, an untouched cup of black sludge in his hand, and he watched you two. his knuckles were white as he gripped the styrofoam cup, his other hand clenched into a tight, shaking fist inside the pocket of his slacks. his jaw was grinding so hard his teeth physically ached.
he watched as miller leaned entirely too close over your desk. he watched miller smile, a bright, easy smile that leon couldn't manage if his life depended on it. he watched miller point at a line on a file, his shoulder brushing against yours.
he watched miller laugh at something you said, though your face remained completely impassive.
why the fuck do i feel so jealous?
leon would scream at himself internally, a furious, hypocritical rage boiling in his blood.
i did this.i pushed her away. i signed the damn transfer.
but cold, hard logic didn't stand a ghost of a chance against the agonizing reality of watching another man actively try to take his place.of watching another man look at you with the exact same hunger leon had spent years trying to suppress. two weeks dragged by like this. two full weeks of absolute, unadulterated hell.
miller had made his intentions painfully and blindingly obvious from day one. he was completely smitten. he was a moth drawn to a flame, and you were the brightest thing in the entire facility.
he was constantly hovering around you. constantly finding made up excuses to be near you, to ask you questions he already knew the answers to. he was dropping shameless, flirtatious compliments about your hair, your outfits, your perfume, actively trying to blur the strict lines of your professional relationship. but for you, it was entirely, devastatingly one sided.
you were a ghost going through the motions of the living. you were doing your paperwork, analyzing medical reports, running diagnostics, but your soul was completely vacant. you were silently, profoundly grieving leon while he was standing right there, just fifty feet away from you, in the same building.
you didn't care about miller's charming smiles. you didn't care about his witty jokes or his perfect teeth. you would offer polite, hollow nods. shutting down his advances with a cool professionalism that he didn't even seem to fully comprehend was a rejection.
you just ignored it. it was background noise. because your mind, your heart, your entire being was constantly drifting back to the cold, distant, piercing blue eyes of the man who had abandoned you.
you would catch glimpses of leon walking past the glass walls of the medical bay, his shoulders rigid, his face unreadable, and your breath would catch every. single .time. the absolute breaking point, the moment where the fragile thread holding everything together finally snapped, arrived on a miserable rainy thursday afternoon.
an urgent mission briefing was called.
it was a multi team operation, requiring the coordination of medical, tactical, and intel divisions. when you walked through t doors of the briefing room, your heart immediately slammed violently against your ribs.
leon was already there.
the room was already darkened, the blackout blinds pulled down over the windows. the only light came from the harsh, stark white glow of the projector screen at the front of the large, oval, polished table. you paused in the doorway, your grip tightening on your tablet.
you took a deep, shaky breath and moved to take a seat. to your horror, the room was packed, and the only available chair put you directly, inescapably in leon's line of sight. he was sitting almost directly across from you on the opposite side of the table.
you sat down slowly, your legs feeling like lead. and to make matters infinitely, impossibly worse, miller didn't take a seat. instead, he chose to stand right behind your chair.
he leaned forward, resting his hands casually on the back of your seat, caging you in in a display of casual, territorial intimacy that made your skin physically crawl. the proximity was suffocating. the air in the room felt entirely too thick to breathe.
the hum of the projector seemed to vibrate in your teeth. the lead agent stood at the front and began the presentation, a laser pointer moving across the screen as he droned on about extraction points in eastern europe, hostiles, weapons caches, and perimeter breaches. but the words were pure static noise to both you and leon.
neither you nor leon heard a single thing. you kept your eyes glued with terrifying intensity to the illuminated screen. you were terrified that if you looked away, if you let your gaze drift across the table to him, you would completely shatter in front of twenty senior agents.
you felt deeply, terribly uneasy. you felt weird in your own skin. miller's constant, hovering presence behind you was an irritating, buzz just like stupid fly you couldn't swat away.
but the unavoidable pull of leon sitting right there across the table was tearing you apart at the seams. you missed him so badly your hands were visibly shaking under the table. you had to clasp them tightly in your lap, digging your fingernails into your own palms to ground yourself.
across the polished wood grain, hidden in the shadows, leon was completely losing his mind. he couldn't focus on a single word of the briefing. his eyes, no matter how hard he tried to keep them trained on the satellite maps, kept flicking back to you in the dim blue light.
he saw everything. he saw the uncomfortable tension in the delicate slope of your shoulders. he saw the way you were gripping your own hands.
he saw the way miller was fucking hovering over you like he already owned you, his hands practically brushing your jacket. and the ugly, corrosive jealousy boiled over once again, hotter and more suffocating than before. and this time, it was a physical pressure in his chest.
he watched the way the projector light caught the shiny strands of your hair. he watched you bite down hard on your plush bottom lip, a nervous habit of yours he knew entirely too well.
he remembered exactly what those lips tasted like. he remembered the exact pitch of your voice when you moaned his name in the dark of that ruined hospital. he couldn't take it anymore. he was suffocating in his own perfectly built trap.
halfway through the briefing, while the entire room's attention was fixed firmly on a complex structural diagram of a compound, leon shifted. his movements were controlled, born of decades of stealth training, but they were driven by a desperate impulse he simply couldn't hold back anymore. he reached into the pocket of his tactical shirt and unclipped his silver pen.
he reached over to the leather bound clipboard resting on the table in front of him. silently, he tore off a small, blank, triangular piece of paper from the bottom corner of a scattered report he forgot about. he brought it flat to the table, shielding it with his broad hand.
you caught the subtle movement out of the absolute corner of your eye. you didn't turn your head, but you shifted your gaze just a fraction. you squinted in the low, ambient light, your breath hitching in your chest as you watched him writing something down.
his face was cast entirely in shadow, his expression a hard, unreadable mask, but the grip he had on the silver pen was white knuckled, the veins in the back of his hand bulging. when he finished the short note, he capped the pen and folded the small slip of paper perfectly in half. then, with a subtle, flick of his index and middle fingers, he slid it across the polished surface of the massive table until it stopped dead exactly an inch away from your notepad. your heart completely stopped.
you stared at the little folded triangle of paper like it was an active explosive device. you waited for ten torturous seconds, your eyes flicking up to the projector, making absolutely sure neither miller nor anyone else in the crowded room was paying even the slightest bit of attention to your side of the table. when you were sure the view was clear, you reached out with trembling fingers.
you slid the paper off the edge of the table and pulled it down into your lap. beneath the table, you carefully, slowly unfolded it. the handwriting was sharp and hurried as you tried to read it.you had read enough of his mission reports to know every angle of his script.
'see me in my office after the briefing'
and with that. your heart plummeted so violently, it felt like it had crashed straight through the floorboards into the basement of the building. all the remaining color drained entirely from your face. a cold panic flooded your veins like ice water.
what could this mean? what could he possibly want now?
after three full weeks of actively avoiding you. after treating you like a total stranger he had never even met. after going behind your back and transferring you away to another man without a single word of explanation...
now he wants to see you? alone? behind the closed, door of his office?
your mind, completely unmoored by anxiety, raced through the most devastating possibilities. was he going to end everything with you for good? was he going to tell you that your mere presence in the building, the way you looked at him, was too much of a distraction?
was he having you moved to another branch entirely, maybe shipping you off to a field office in europe so he wouldn't have to deal with the guilt anymore?
the rest of the briefing was a total, unmitigated blur of anxiety. you didn't hear a single word. you just stared at the screen, your stomach tied in excruciating knots, waiting for the axe to fall.
when the lights finally flicked back on with a loud, blindingly bright snap, the spell was broken. the tension in the room dissipated into the mundane sounds of office life. chairs scraped loudly against the office floor.
agents began grabbing their files, stretching or filing out of the room in smaller groups. leon stood up immediately. he grabbed his clipboard, his jaw set so tightly it looked like it might shatter.
before he turned to leave, before he joined the flow of traffic out the door, he looked at you. it was a fleeting, fast glance, but it hit you with the force of a physical blow to the sternum. his blue eyes were so entirely, frustratingly unreadable.
was he mad? or was he just exhausted by the whole situation?
you honestly couldn't tell now. and before you could even process the weight of that look, he turned his broad back and walked swiftly out of the room, heading straight down the corridor toward his office.
soon, the massive briefing room was almost completely empty. just the quiet, dying hum of the cooling projector fan. and miller. he stepped around the side of your chair, stepping right into your personal space with that easy, entirely oblivious smile plastered across his face.
"hey," he said, shifting his weight casually, completely unaware of the absolute warzone currently raging inside your head.
"intense briefing, huh? eastern europe is going to be a hell of a nightmare.'' he pauses for a bit . '' look, i was thinking...maybe after we finish up work today, we could head out? there's this bar downtown, just opened up. great reviews. we could grab some drinks, maybe some food? i heard the place is pretty great, and honestly, we could both use a breather before the prep work starts tomorrow."
you just stared at him.
your mind was still miles away, entirely trapped inside the tiny, folded piece of paper currently burning a hole through the fabric of your skirt pocket. at first, his words didn't even register as a date. your brain was so overloaded with anxiety about leon that you almost blindly brushed it off as a friendly, post work destress thing. a way for coworkers to vent. but then you looked up at his face.
you really looked at him. you saw the expectant glint in his eyes. you remembered the two weeks of his hovering. the lingering, unnecessary touches on your shoulder. the compliments about your perfume. the way he was leaning in right now, trying to catch your eye, trying to establish some.. connection that simply wasn't there. it all clicked into perfect place just now.
it wasn't just friendly. it never was. he was asking you out.
an overwhelming wave of sheer exhaustion washed over you. you were so tired. you were tired of pretending.
you were tired of hurting. your heart, bruised, bleeding, and aching constantly, was still completely, hopelessly, permanently glued to leon. there was absolutely no room in your chest for anyone else. not even a fraction of an inch. you couldn't even fake a smile for this man. you had to shut this down.
you had to do it firmly, right now.
"agent miller," you started, your voice quiet, but incredibly, surprisingly steady. you forced yourself to meet his gaze, making sure he saw the absolute seriousness in your eyes.
"i appreciate the offer. i really do. it's kind of you." you paused, taking a slow breath, making sure the words you were about to say were clear and final. "but i have to decline," you said softly. "i am.. already seeing someone else."
miller blinked. he blinked twice, the easy, confident smile slipping rapidly from his face, replaced by a flash of genuine surprise, and then, a flush of slightly embarrassed understanding.
"oh," he said, taking a small, physical step back, creating distance. "right. i... i didn't realize. i'm sorry, i completely misunderstood the situation. sorry to bother you. really.have a good night."
"you too," you murmured, watching him retreat.
he grabbed his files and quickly exited the room, his footsteps echoing down the hall, leaving you standing entirely alone in the deafening, heavy silence of the empty briefing room. you were alone now. just you, the empty chairs, and the terrifying reality of your situation crashing back down on your shoulders.
the gut wrenching realization of leon's written request.
'see me in my office.'
you stood perfectly still for a long time, your hands resting flat on the cool surface of the mahogany table. you were lost in a labyrinth of your own thoughts, your mind taking a sharp, terrifying turn for the absolute worst.
what if he wanted to finally tell you, to your face, that he never wished to see you again? what if this was a formal dressing down? what if he just wanted to clear his own guilty conscience?
to sit you down, look you in the eye, and formally apologize for being a fucking asshole in the sanatorium just so he could sleep a little better at night, right before he walked out of your life for good? just what exactly could a man like leon kennedy want from you after barely a real, human conversation had taken place between you two in three long weeks? but as you stood there, clutching the edge of the table until your fingers ached, something shifted inside you.
deep down, beneath the layers of hurt and anxiety, a tiny, stubborn, absolutely reckless spark ignited in your chest. a spark of desperate, angry courage.
you were done.
you made up your mind right then and there. this shit had to be cleared out. the air had to be cleared. you absolutely could not live in this freezing, agonizing purgatory for a single day longer. you needed answers. you demanded them.
even if getting those answers meant the ache in your heart would finally reach its absolute, breaking peak. even if whatever he had to say completely, irreparably shattered you into a million pieces. you would rather bleed out from the truth than slowly freeze to death in his silence.
you took a deep, shuddering breath, pulling the cool air into your lungs. you let your hands fall to your sides, smoothing down the fabric of your skirt. you turned on your heel and walked out of the briefing room.
the hallways of the dso were absolutely quiet now. most of the day shift staff had already packed up and gone home to their warm beds, leaving only the crew of analysts and night guards.
every single step you took down the long corridor toward his office somehow felt infinitely heavier than the last,while your anxiety was skyrocketing, bubbling up in your throat. your pulse was pounding in your ears so loudly and it was entirely deafening. you passed empty offices, closed doors and rows of silent cubicles.
the walk felt like it took hours.
by the time you finally rounded the final corner, stepping into the senior agent wing, the corridor was completely empty. it was just you, the pristine white walls, and the door with his silver nameplate on it at the very end of the hall.
leon s. kennedy.
you stopped a few feet away from the door.
you genuinely expected the worst. you tried to prepare yourself, wrapping an imaginary wall around your chest, bracing for the final severing of ties with him, if he wished that. you prepared yourself to lose the absolute last, pathetic, lingering bit of hope you had foolishly clung to for an apology, for a reason, for anything that meant he still cared.
and then, you reached his door.
the warm light from his desk lamp spilled out into the dim hallway from underneath the crack at the bottom of the door. you closed your eyes for a split second, gathering every ounce of strength you possessed. you raised a trembling hand, curled your fingers into a soft fist, and then knocked on his door.
it feels like the air in the hallway is too thin, suffocatingl as you stand outside the door. you've been standing here for what feels like an hour, though it's probably only been a few seconds. your hand is still raised, knuckles white and trembling.
the warm light beneath the door is a sliver of yellow in the otherwise dark hallway. you're terrified. you're so terrified that your heart feels like it's going to bruise your ribs from the inside.
you spent the last few weeks convincing yourself that this moment was coming, the moment where he'd look you in the eyes and tell you that he just can't do this, that the danger, the mission, all of it is too much. you've built up entire scenarios in your mind where he tells you to walk away and never look back. but even with all that preparation, the reality of it is nauseating.
you're not ready to lose him. you never were. you never will be.
"come in." his voice. it cuts through the silence, deep and rough, right through the soles of your feet.
you reach for the handle, your palm damp against the cold metal, and you push the door open. the office seeming like a cavern. it's 9 pm and the rest of the dso is a ghost town at this hour,unlike this room.
the only light comes from the small desk lamp. it's a pool of warm, amber glow that makes the rest of the room feel infinitely far away. leon is there, hunched over his desk, his silhouette a jagged outline of tension.
he hasn't even looked up yet. he's surrounded by a chaos of mission files and his tablet on the desk, but he isn't working right now. he's just sitting there, staring at a blank spot on the polished mahogany.
you step inside, the door clicking shut behind you with a sound that makes your stomach flip. you stop a few feet away, feeling like an intruder in his space, even though you've spent hundreds of hours in this exact room. you're wearing your usual office clothes, but right now they feel way too formal, too tight even.
you want to run, but your feet are rooted to the floor.
"you wanted to see me ?"you say. your voice sounds thin, barely like whisper. you hate how fragile you sound. you hate that you're trembling in front of him, that he has this much power over you just by existing in the same room.
leon finally lifts his head. the movement is slow as if his neck is stiff from the weight of everything he's been holding. when his gaze finds yours, you feel the air leave the room too.
he looks destroyed. there's no other word for it. the man who is usually so composed, so unshakable, looks like he's been through a war that no one else can see.
the dark circles under his eyes are deep and his hair is a mess, pushed back carelessly from his forehead. he doesn't smile. he doesn't even move to stand up.
he just watches you, his blue eyes searching your face with a desperation that confuses you. he's looking for something, an answer, a reaction, an opening? you don't know.
"please sit down " he says. his voice is a gravelly scrape, lacking that usual authority he has. he gestures vaguely to the leather chair across from his desk, but he doesn't look at you as he says it. he looks back down at his hands, which are clasped tightly together on the desk.
you don't move.your heart is hammering against your chest, a frantic bird in a cage.
"i'd rather stand," you reply, your voice gaining a little more edge. you want to be able to leave if you need to. you don't want to be trapped in his chair, vulnerable.
leon lets out a heavy, ragged exhale. he leans back, the leather of his chair groaning under the shift in his weight. he looks like he's aged ten years in the last three weeks. he drags a hand down his face, the stubble of his jaw raspy against his palm.
he looks everywhere but at you, at the files, at the lamp, at the floor, as if he's trying to find the courage to say something that feels impossible to voice.
"look.i'm not good at this," he starts, his voice dropping into that low, intimate register that always manages to pull you apart. he's rambling, trying to find his footing. "i never have been. but i asked you to stay behind because... i wanted to apologize. properly. "
you wait, your pulse drumming in your ears.
the word 'apologize' hangs in the air, heavy and strange. you've wanted this, haven't you? you've replayed a hundred different versions of this conversation in your head where he tells you he's sorry.
but now that it's here, it feels wrong. it feels like he's treating the last three weeks of your life like a mission error, a protocol issue to be filed away.
"the sanatorium," he continues, finally forcing his eyes back to yours. his gaze is intense, searing. it's like he's trying to memorize your face. "how i acted. how i treated you. it was wrong. you were in distress, and i was... cold. i shut you out like a fucking asshole . i didn't offer you any comfort and I.." he stops, his throat hitching. he looks physically pained, like every word is a jagged piece of glass he's forcing himself to swallow.
"i thought i was doing the right thing. keeping my head in the mission. but i know i hurt you." he pauses, looking at you like he's waiting for you to say it's okay. but you can't. you won't.
the pain of those three weeks, the loneliness, the feeling of being discarded, the way you'd lay in bed at night staring at your phone waiting for a message that never came, it's all there, sitting right behind your eyes.
"the transfer," he says, his voice thickening.
"hunnigan told you, obviously. i requested it. i thought... thought getting you away from me, putting you with someone who isn't a completely damaged wreck, would be better for you. someone who wouldn't drag you down." he leans forward, resting his forearms on the desk.
he looks so tired. so incredibly tired of fighting himself. "i understand if you never want to see me again.i understand if you hate me. i'll keep my distance as much as humanly possible. i just... i needed to apologize.properly." the silence that follows is deafening. it's the silence of a house after a storm, where everything is quiet, but everything is ruined.
you watch him. you watch the way his hands clench and unclench, the way he refuses to look away now, as if he's daring you to be angry, or sad, or anything at all. but your blood is boiling.
that polite, formally way he's speaking to you, like you're just a casualty on a mission report, a liability he needs to carefully detach from, it straight up feels like a slap in the face. is this what he thinks? that a simple apology cleans the slate? that he can just press a button, move you to another supervisor, and everything goes back to normal?
"is that it?" you ask. your voice is shaking, but not from the fragility you felt in the hallway. it's shaking from a cold, sharp anger that's been building in your gut for twenty one days.
leon frowns, his brow furrowing. "wait,"
"is that.. it?"you repeat, your voice climbing. you take a step forward, your heels clicking on the floor. you're right at the edge of his desk now, close enough to smell the faint, familiar scent of him, gun oil, rain, and that clean, sharp scent of his soap.
"you bring me in here, after three weeks of treating me like a ghost, to give me what.. a rehearsed, bullshit apology so you can feel better about yourself?"
"it's not rehearsed," leon fires back, his own voice rising. he looks frustrated, his blue eyes flashing. "i'm trying to do the right thing,"
"the right thing?" you let out a laugh that sounds more like a sob. it's bitter, sharp, and entirely unforced.
"what the fuck is wrong with you, leon?"
he flinches. the harshness of your words seems to knock the air out of him. he looks stunned, like he didn't expect you to fight back. but you're done being the quiet, obedient medic.
you're done being the one who waits for his permission to exist.
"how could you be like this?" you demand, the tears finally, finally spilling over. they feel hot against your cold skin. you don't bother wiping them away. you want him to see them. you want him to see every single piece of the mess he made.
"you think this is what i want? you think you're protecting me by throwing me away? by handing me off to some new supervisor like i'm a damaged toy you don't want to deal with anymore?"
"i'm trying to keep you safe from me. god." leon stands up abruptly, the chair skidding back against the floor with a screech that sets your teeth on edge.
he towers over the desk, his chest heaving, his blue eyes desperate.
"you don't know what it's like inside my head. you don't know the shit i ruin, the people i get hurt."
"well.i don't fucking care about any of that shit!jesus." you scream. your voice cracks, raw and ugly. you grip the edge of the desk so hard your knuckles turn white.
"i never cared about that! i cared about you!all i wanted that night in the sanatorium was for you to look at me. to give me one word of comfort. one word of love. and you?you looked right through me like i was nothing. do you have any idea how much that hurts? to be looked at by the person you love like you're just... what ? scenery?"
the room is spinning. you feel like you're standing on the edge of a cliff, and you're just waiting for him to push you off.and god.you've said too much. you know you just have. but there's no turning back now. the words are pouring out of you like blood from a wound that won't close.
"and now you want to just... disappear?" you continue, your voice dropping to a harsh, trembling whisper. "you want to walk out of my life like days, months, years of my love for you meant absolutely nothing? despite everything i've endured ? the nights i cried myself to sleep wondering what i did wrong? wondering if i was too much, or not enough, or just... unwanted?"
you shake your head, tears streaming down your face.
"this is all so stupid. it's so fucking stupid, leon."
leon stands frozen. the fire he had just seconds ago seems to have been extinguished by your honesty. he looks at you, really looks at you, and the exhaustion on his face turns into something much more fragile.
he looks like he's seeing you for the first time in weeks, not just the medic, not just the subordinate, but the woman he's been trying so hard to push away. the silence in the room is heavy. it's not the tense, waiting silence from before; it's the thick, suffocating silence of a truth that's finally been laid bare.
you drop your head. your long, hair falls forward, acting as a curtain between you and him. you're shaking, your entire body vibrating with the effort it takes to keep standing.
you feel so exposed. you feel humiliated. you've just told him everything, and you have no idea if it's going to make him love you or make him walk out the door.
"i feel so pathetic," you whisper. your voice is barely audible, a small, sad sound in the large, quiet office.
you stare down at the desk, at the scattered papers, at the way the light catches the dust motes dancing in the air. you feel a tear drop from your chin, hitting the wood with a quiet plip.
leon breathes, and his voice is so broken, so full of a raw, agonizing ache that it makes your chest seize. he reaches out, but he doesn't touch you. he's terrified of his own hands. you can see the conflict in his face, the way his muscles tense and relax as he battles his own restraint.
"and i am," you continue, your voice barely holding together. you look up at him, and your eyes are glassy, red, and searching his for some sign of life, some sign that you're not alone in this hell. "i mean... how could i possibly not be in this situation? falling for someone who can't even stand to look at me for more than five seconds?" you pause. the room is so quiet you can hear the hum of the cooling system in the walls. you're trying to breathe, to find the right words to make him understand, but every word feels like it's failing you. you just let it all out, raw, and completely unguarded.
"i just don't understand," you sob, the words tumbling out of you.
"do you even feel something for me? if so, then do something about it, you fucking asshole. i can't, i can't do this anymore. i can't keep guessing. i can't keep waiting for you to decide if i'm worth keeping around. tell me. just tell me the truth. do you love me, or are you just trying to be a hero again?" you're staring at him, your chest heaving, your face wet with tears. you look like a mess, you know you do, but you don't care.
you've stopped caring. you're done playing the game where he's the ice and you're the fire, and you're the one who always ends up burning.
leon stares back at you. for a moment, he's like a statue. then, the change happens. the wall he's been building around his heart for weeks, for months, for years, finally gives way. the stoic exterior crumbles. he looks at you with an expression that's so naked, so filled with a mixture of love, fear, and absolute agony that it makes your heart stop. he's not the agent anymore. he's not the dso supervisor. he's just a man. a man who is clearly, painfully in love, and terrified of the damage he's done.
he doesn't wait for you to say anything else. he doesn't wait for a bridge to form. he rounds the desk with a speed that catches you off guard, his heavy boots thudding against the floor.
he closes the distance between you in two long, desperate strides, and before you can even react, his hands are on you. they're firm, almost bruising, as he grabs your shoulders. he's looking at you like you're the only girl in the world, his gaze wild and unfocused, as if he's trying to memorize the way the light hits your skin.
"feel something?" he rasps, his voice a low, gravelly sound that vibrates in your chest. "are you kidding me? god, sweetheart ... i feel everything. i feel it every second of every day.'' he pauses.
''it's like a fever that won't go away." he's breathing hard, his chest brushing against yours. you can smell the faint, sharp scent of his cologne, the heat radiating off his body, the way his heart is slamming against his ribs just like yours.
"but i do feel the same for you," he confesses, the words coming out as a jagged admission. he sounds like he's dying, like the words are physically hurting him as they leave his throat.
"i have for so long. but i feel guilty. god, i feel so fucking guilty. i look at you, and all i see is everything i'm not, everything i never deserved to have." he lets out a shaky breath, his forehead dropping down to rest against yours. the contact is electric.
you can feel the sweat on his skin, the frantic beat of his pulse at his throat, the way he's trembling. you've never seen him like this. he's completely undone.
"i'm in love with you," he whispers, and the words are so quiet, so incredibly intimate, that they seem to change the entire atmosphere of the room. it's a confession that holds the weight of months of silence, of suppressed feelings, of late nights wondering what could have been.
"i'm so madly in love with you it makes me sick. but you have this entire, beautiful life ahead of you, and i am... drowning in my own hell of a life.''
''i thought that.. if i was cold to you that night, if i pushed you away, it would be easier. easier for you to find someone who could give you the life you deserve." he opens his eyes, staring directly into yours. they're blue, deep as the ocean, and filled with a raw, agonizing honesty that makes your breath hitch.
"i wanted you to hate me. i thought if you hated me, you'd forget about me. you'd move on to someone like miller, someone who could give you a normal life. " he lets out a broken, self deprecating laugh, a sound that has no humor in it.
"but i can't do it. watching him look at you, knowing i handed you over to him... it's killing me. it's absolutely eating me alive."
his hands move from your shoulders, sliding up your neck, his thumbs tracing the line of your jaw, his touch incredibly gentle, almost reverent. he's wiping the tears from your cheeks with his thumbs, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he's trying to fix the damage he's caused with just the warmth of his skin.
"that's the last thing i want," he pleads, his voice thick, rough. "i can't endure it anymore. i want you. i need your love, i need you. i know i made a massive mistake. i know i fucked up, and i know it's going to take a lot of time to fix this, to earn your trust back. but i want to do it. god, i want to. just... please. please tell me you'll let me." he's looking at you, his heart completely laid bare, his eyes wide and vulnerable.
he's waiting for you to say something, to give him a sign, to tell him that he's not too late. the tension in the room is so thick you could cut it with a knife, and your own heart is pounding so hard it's all you can hear. you're looking at him, and you feel the last vestiges of your anger, your hurt, your pride, simply melting away.
all that's left is this. the way his hands feel against your skin, the way his breath is warm against your face, the way his eyes hold yours with an intensity that makes the rest of the world disappear. you don't know what to say.
you don't know if there are words for this. and you realize, in that moment, that you don't need words. you just need him.
you move. it's a small movement, a sudden shift in the air, as you reach out and place your hands on the sides of his face. his skin is warm, his stubble rough against your palms.
you can feel the way he leans into your touch, the way he lets out a ragged, shaky breath as if he's been holding it in for months. you look at him, really look at him, and you see everything he's been hiding. the fear, the guilt, the overwhelming, all consuming need for you. and you know that you feel the same. you feel the same ache, the same hunger, the same impossible, terrifying love that's kept you up at night for so long. you don't pull him in yet.
you just hold his face, your thumbs tracing the lines of his cheekbones, feeling the tension slowly begin to drain out of his body. he's watching you, his own eyes searching yours, a silent question hanging between you. he wants you to be sure.
he wants to know that if he lets his guard down, if he drops the last of his armor, you'll be there. you're so, so sure.
"leon," you breathe, your voice barely a whisper. it's the only word you can manage, and it seems to carry the weight of everything you've just said, everything you've been feeling, everything you hope for. he blinks, his expression shifting from desperation to a kind of stunned awe, as if he's surprised that you're still here, that you're still looking at him like this.
and then, he leans in, closing the last of the distance until your lips are only millimeters apart. you can feel the warmth radiating from him, the way his body is pressed against yours, the way his hands are still gripping your waist, holding you like you're the only thing keeping him grounded. the silence is absolute now.
there's no sound in the room, no sound in the hallway, no sound anywhere else. there is only the two of you, standing in the middle of a dark office, surrounded by the gut-wretching nightmares of the life you've both been leading, and the terrifying, beautiful promise of something else. he looks down at your lips, then back up to your eyes, his gaze so heavy and so full of meaning that it makes your knees weak.
he's asking, in his own silent way, if this is okay. if he's allowed to step across the line he's drawn in the sand. you don't look away.
you don't pull back. you just wait, your heart thundering, your breath catching in your throat, waiting for the moment when the world finally shifts, and everything you've ever wanted becomes real.
leon doesn't let you go. not for a single, agonizing second. the suffocating silence that had been building between you both for three torturous weeks completely shatters, replaced by the frantic, echoing sound of your hitched breathing. his large, calloused hands are all over you, frantic and starving, tracing the shape of your waist, mapping the delicate curve of your spine through the thick fabric of your sweater.
his grip is punishingly firm, like a physical manifestation of every single thing he hasn't been able to say out loud. he maneuvers you backward with toward the edge of his massiv mahogany desk.
the scattered papers, the redacted dso files, the mission briefings he had been pretending to obsess over just moments ago are completely forgotten to him.
with a swift motion that leaves you entirely breathless, he lifts you off the ground. your legs instinctively, naturally wrap around his narrow hips, seeking the heat of him. he sets you down onto the cool, hard, polished surface of the desk, the impact sending a jolt right up your spine.
he doesn't give you a fraction of a second to adjust. he moves into the space between your thighs immediately, parting your knees further, his massive body caging you in completely. the sheer, unyielding weight of him presses you back against the wood, a beautiful, trapping pressure that you have been craving in the darkest, loneliest hours of your night.
his hands are incredibly steady, but his chest is heaving violently. his breathing is completely ragged, the hot, heavy air of his gasps hitting the sensitive, shivering skin of your neck as he begins to work on your clothes. he reaches for the hem of your oversized sweater, his thick fingers slipping underneath the knit fabric, brushing directly against the bare, goosebump covered skin of your waist.
the sudden, shocking contrast of his hot, rough skin against yours sends a violent shiver straight down your spine, a tremor that leon definitely feels against his chest. and he's taking his sweet time. he pulls the fabric up slowly, his knuckles dragging deliberately up your ribs, over the delicate lace of your bra, until he is working the fabric over your head.
the cool air of the office immediately bites at your exposed skin, but the chill is instantly chased away by the absolute inferno raging in his eyes. his gaze never leaves yours for a second. it's burning with an unhinged intensity that makes you feel both entirely stripped bare and overwhelmingly, profoundly cherished.
he tosses the sweater carelessly over his shoulder, not giving a single damn where it lands on the office floor. his eyes, blue and hungry and completely, entirely ruined for anyone else but you, drop to the delicate black lace of your bra. the sight of you sitting on his desk, half undressed, your chest rising and falling rapidly under his heavy stare, makes his sharp jaw clench tight.
he doesn't hurry. he doesn't let the blinding adrenaline force him into a frantic, sloppy mess. instead, he leans in so slowly, an agonizingly deliberate descent that makes your toes curl in anticipation.
his warm lips graze the delicate shell of your ear, a soft, teasing touch, before he shifts his mouth down your neck. he presses a searing, wet, open mouthed kiss directly to your collarbone, his teeth scraping ever so lightly against the bone. his mouth is blisteringly hot, and the rough, prickly texture of his jawline stubble is raspy against your soft skin.
it is a perfect contrast that makes your heart hammer a violent, erratic rhythm against your ribcage. he's his sweet time with you , mapping the territory he had stubbornly denied himself for so long. he kisses the soft, swell of your breasts right through the black lace of your bra.
his tongue darts out, tracing the intricate floral pattern of the fabric, dampening it, the wet heat seeping straight through to your sensitive skin. the way he treats you, with such slow, obsessive, deliberate focus, is almost more intoxicating than the act of sex itself. it is pure worship.
he shifts his hands behind your back, his large fingers deft and entirely practiced as they easily find the small metal clasp. with a soft click, the bra falls completely open. he doesn't pull back to look; instead, he gently pushes on your shoulders, guiding you to lay all the way back.
you sprawl down onto the cool mahogany surface, your back arching, your dark hair fanning out beautifully over his scattered, discarded papers. leon leans over you, his hands coming up
to cup your bare soft breasts. he fondles them with a desperate, starving hunger that makes you arch your back entirely off the desk, a quiet, needy gasp of his name tearing into the quiet air.
"leon..." you whimper. he silences you by dipping his head down, his mouth opening over one of your tight, hard peaks.
he laves at the sensitive nub, swirling his tongue before sucking it into his hot mouth with a pulling suction. the sensation is so sharp, so beautiful, it draws a long, low, pathetic whine straight from your throat. he pays equal, worshipping attention to both sides, kissing, biting, completely marking your skin to show how deeply he craved you.
he eventually continues his slow, torturous descent. his lips leave your chest, trailing hot, damp, lingering down on the center of your ribcage, kissing the soft, sensitive, trembling skin of your flat stomach. his hands abandon your chest to trace the curve of your waist, sliding down the line of your hips until he reaches the thick waistband of your skirt.
he grabs the zipper, and pulls it down. the metallic sound is deafening in the silence of his office. his touch remaining agonizingly slow.
he grips the fabric of your skirt along with the dark nylon of your tights, and he begins to pull them down your legs too. he eases the garments over your thighs, over your knees, his rough palms dragging down your calves, taking the clothes completely off and leaving you sitting there in absolutely nothing but your tiny, lacy panties. he drops the clothes to the floor.
he pauses then, just for a heartbeat. he stands between your parted legs, his hands resting on your bare knees, his eyes scanning your completely exposed body with an expression of pure, unadulterated awe. it's a look of profound disbelief, as if his brain cannot fully process that you are actually here, that you are actually giving yourself to him, that after all the pain and the silence, you are finally, entirely with him.
the vulnerability in his blue eyes makes your chest ache in the absolute best possible way. he leans back down, his face hovering just inches over your pussy . you can physically feel the heat radiating from his face.
he presses a soft, gentle kiss directly to the thin, damp fabric of your panties, right over the absolute center of your heat. the gentle pressure of his lips against your most sensitive spot makes your entire body jolt, your cunt clenching tightly in a massive wave of pure anticipation. he leaves a damp spot on the lace before he finally moves.
his thick, calloused fingers find the thin edges of the lace. he hooks his fingers underneath the fabric, and slowly, he pulls them down. the cool air hits your slick, swollen flesh, making you gasp.
he pulls the panties down your legs, tossing them carelessly to god knows where. you are completely bare to him now. he settles firmly between your knees, anchoring you to the desk.
his eyes lock onto yours, burning with a dark, feral intensity, as his thumb slowly drops down and finds your swollen clit . the contact feels electric.
you cry out loudly, your head falling back against the desk, your eyes fluttering shut. your hands reach out blindly, clutching frantically at the broad, solid muscles of his shoulders, your nails digging deep into his dark shirt.
he's teasing you.
he's not giving you what you want. instead, he swirls his thumb in a slow, hypnotic, excruciatingly light circle over your clit, drawing out l sweet whimpers that echo loudly off the office walls. the friction is maddening, building a tight, coiled spring of tension low in your stomach.
then , he moves his hand slightly, sliding two thick, rough fingers down to the absolute entrance of your pussy. he rubs them against your opening, coating his skin in your wetness. the slow slide of his calloused skin against your soft, weeping folds feels like n unadulterated torture.
it is not enough. you desperately need him inside.
"please," you gasp, your voice breaking, your hips instinctively bucking up off the desk, chasing his hand, desperately trying to force his fingers deeper into your body.
"leon, please- "
"look at me," he murmurs, his voice a low, rumble right against your lips as he leans down to kiss you. you force your heavy eyelids open, meeting his dark, consuming gaze. as he captures your mouth in a deep, wet, starving kiss, he finally pushes inside you.
he begins to pump his fingers deep into your heat, slow at first, dragging out the stretch. he is prepping you, stretching your delicate walls, making absolutely sure that every single inch of you is primed, slick, and ready to take him. he moves with a beautifully rhythmic, steady, pressure, curling his fingers upwards to hit that sweet spot deep inside you, while his thumb remains firmly planted outside, still working your clit in relentless circles.
the combined, overwhelming pleasure makes you feel like you are literally melting from the inside out. your mind goes completely blank, short circuiting under the sheer volume of pleasure. leon presses soft, incredibly needy, open mouthed kisses to the erratic pulse point jumping frantically in your neck.
he kisses along your jawline, his stubble scratching you deliciously, before returning to devour your lips. his fingers work inside you in perfect, devastating sync with the movement of his mouth. he keeps up the relentless, beautiful pace until you are a writhing, whimpering mess underneath him.
your thighs are trembling violently, your hips thrashing upward to chase the friction of his hand, your senses entirely, entirely consumed by the feeling of him. and then, abruptly, he stops. he pulls his fingers completely out of your dripping heat.
the sudden absence of his touch makes you let out a loud, pathetic whine of pure protest. your body feels instantly cold, mourning the immediate loss of friction and fullness. leon stands up straight, his massive chest heaving heavily beneath his shirt.
his blue eyes are heavy, dark, and completely dilated with a mix of love and lust. he maintains strict, unblinking eye contact with you as he slowly brings his slick, wet fingers up to his mouth. he wraps his lips around his digits, sucking them completely clean, tasting you on his tongue.
the sight of him doing something so filthy, so incredibly intimate, makes your stomach twist into a massive, painful knot of pure, unadulterated longing. you can't just lie there. you push yourself up on your elbows, supporting your own weight, your chest heaving as your eyes stay hopelessly locked onto his.
he reaches for his belt. the sound of the metal buckle clinking open in the quiet, tension filled room is the absolute loudest thing you have ever heard. he undoes it slowly, the thick leather sliding free from the loops.
he unzips his tactical pants slowly , the sound of the zipper ripping through the air, and he reaches into his boxers, finally freeing his thick, veiny cock. it springs out, fully rigid, weeping slightly at the tip with precum . you stare at him in total, breathless, wide eyed awe.
you stop breathing completely. he looks so utterly devoted to you.
"look what you do to me," leon whispers, his voice thick, heavy with a mixture of arrogant pride and complete, devastating desperation. he reaches down and wraps his large hand around his own length. giving it two slow, deliberate strokes.
"look how much i absolutely need you." he steps fully back into the vee of your legs. his hands come up, gripping your bare hips tightly, his thumbs pressing into your hip bones as he pulls you down to the very edge of the mahogany desk.
your legs dangle over the side, completely open to him. he aligns the blunt, heavy, weeping head of his cock directly against your tight, slick entrance, but he doesn't push in. he tortures you.
he just rubs the tip against your sensitive slit, up and down, a slow, teasing, slippery friction that makes your hips buck up wildly, completely desperate for the connection, begging for the fullness. the air in the room is thick with the potent, musky scent of sex.
"leon, god," you whimper, tears of pure frustration pricking the corners of your eyes.
"shh. look at me," he commands softly. you force your eyes open, meeting his burning gaze, your heart thundering against your ribs like a trapped bird. holding your gaze perfectly, leon finally, finally pushes his hips forward.
it's a slow, painfully steady thrust. the blunt head of him pushes past your tight ring of muscle, stretching you wide. the stretch stinging slightly, a delicious, sharp, burning bite of pleasure that makes your eyes water and your fingernails dig deep into the leather of his jacket.
it feels incredibly good. it feels impossibly, overwhelmingly better than the first time you two had done this in that freezing, ruined hospital. this feels deeper.
it feels like he is finally, erasing all the pain of the past three weeks in one massive, claiming push. he sinks in all the way to the hilt, burying himself as deep inside your tight, wet heat as he can possibly go. you both let out a loud, guttural groan.like a sound of deep relief.
he drops his head, his forehead resting against yours, letting out a ragged, shaking breath as he lets his massive body settle completely inside your tight walls. he doesn't stay still for long.
he starts to move with slow, incredibly sensual thrusts. he pulls his hips back, dragging his thick length almost all the way out of you, the friction making you whimper, before he drives his hips forward, sinking back down into the absolute, deepest depths of you. each movement is painfully deliberate, rolling his hips to grind against all the right, sensitive spots inside you.
it is a slow, thick, syrupy friction that is rapidly building a massive bonfire in your veins.
"you feel so incredibly good," he praises, his voice a low, rough, dirty rasp right against your ear.
"so fucking good, sweetheart . you have no idea. it took absolutely everything in me not to touch you these past three weeks.i was dying."
"then please don't stop now," you whisper fiercely, your hands moving from his shoulders to grip the front of his jacket, pulling him down closer.
he groans loudly, a feral sound, and the pace begins to pick up just a fraction. the slow, deliberate, teasing thrusts begin to fundamentally change, becoming much needier, far more urgent. the friction growing hotter and tighter.
the wet, heavy slap of his skin against yours begins to echo loudly in the quiet office space. you can physically feel his iron composure slipping away. his hands grip your hips even tighter, leaving bruised fingerprints on your soft skin, anchoring you firmly to the hard desk as his movements become rougher and endlessly passionate.
he is pounding into you now, a deep, relentless, completely unhinged rhythm that has you throwing your head back and sobbing his name into the ceiling. as he hammers into you, his hand drops down between your bodies. his thick thumb finds your swollen clit again, pressing down hard, rubbing fast and relentlessly.
the overwhelming combination of his deep, bruising penetration and the targeted, rapid friction on your most sensitive nerve pushes you dangerously close to the absolute edge. it's too much. the pleasure feeling like a crushing weight, a blinding, white hot light expanding at the absolute center of your mind.
"cum for me," leon tasps in your ear, his voice rough, demanding, entirely consumed with need. "let me feel it, sweetheart.cum for me." and you completely shatter. a beautiful cry tears violently from your lips as your internal walls clamp down brutally hard around his thick cock.
your muscles spasm wildly, milking him, draining him, as your body violently trembles through the intense, pulsing, endless waves of your orgasm. leon feels it. he feels your tight crushing contractions squeezing the absolute life out of him, pushing him right over the edge.
he entirely abandons the slow build. his body takes over completely and his thrusts becoming a blur of fast, brutal, desperate, bruising motion as he selfishly chases his own pleasure.
"fuck, i'm right there," he snarls, his jaw clenched so tight it looks physically painful. he leans down aggressively, capturing your lips in a messy, needy kiss, swallowing your loud moans as he drives his hips into you one final thrust. he cums with a deep groan, his entire massive body going completely rigid against yours as he spills his hot, thick release deep inside you.
it's an endless rush of heat that makes your entire world fade into white. but the fire between you both is far too immense to be put out by just one release. the three weeks of agonizing starvation cannot be satiated so quickly.
you both collapse against each other for a few minutes, your chests heaving, your skin entirely slick with a heavy layer of sweat, struggling desperately to catch your breath. but before your heart rate can even return to a normal, steady rhythm, leon's hands are moving again. his hips twitch, his length swelling right back up to full, brutal rigidity inside your still quivering walls.
he doesn't say a word. he just pulls your legs tighter around his waist and begins to thrust again. the second round is a blur of raw, unadulterated passion.
it lacks the slow, teasing buildup of the first; it is purely about desperate, consuming need. you are messy, you are loud, you are completely lost in each other. leon pounds into you with a renewed, frantic energy, a physical apology for every single day he ignored you.
you match his energy perfectly, your fingernails scratching down his broad back, your mouth open and panting, taking everything he gives you like you're his sweet girl. the tension building faster this time, the friction slicker and hotter. you both chase the high together, maintaining intense eye contact as the pleasure mounts to an unbearable peak.
with a final, devastating thrust, leon buries himself to the hilt once more. he throws his head back, a low grunt tearing from his throat as he spills inside you for the second time, flooding your aching cunt. the adrenaline of the fight, the crushing, emotional drain of the past three weeks, and the absolute physical exhaustion of two intense, back to back rounds finally leave you.
both completely boneless.
you both lie there on the hard desk for a very long time, tangled together, like a mess of limbs and sweat. the only sound left in the office is your ragged breathing, and the faint, rhythmic ticking of the wall clock.
after a long, peaceful moment, leon finally shifts his weight.
he doesn't pull out of you completely. instead, he rests his heavy forearms flat on the desk, framing either side of your head, completely caging you in with his massive frame. his large, calloused palms gently, reverently cup the sides of your face.
his thumbs softly brush away the damp, dark strands of hair that are sticking to your sweaty cheeks. he looks down at you. that icy, impenetrable fortress in his blue eyes is completely gone.
his eyes are softer now, clearer, and more vulnerable than you have seen them in months.
"i love you," he whispers into the quiet space between you.
his words are heavy and painfully honest. it is a total surrender. "i love you so much it physically hurts me...fuck."
you give him smile a soft, trembling beautiful smile. tears of pure relief appear in your eyes, and you let your eyelids flutter shut as you lean your face affectionately into his warm palm.
"i love you too, leon. so much." you both stay exactly like that for a while, completely intertwined, just savoring the sweet warmth, the absolute, undeniable reality of him being with you again.
leon lets out a long, shaky, breath and slowly, reluctantly pulls his hips back. the sudden emptiness makes you shiver violently, a cold draft of the air hitting your sensitive skin again. you lie flat on your back on the desk for a moment, your chest still rising and falling, watching him through your half lidded eyes as he zips his tactical pants back up.
it's a quiet, intimate moment that feels like a sacred secret. a thick, warm string of his cum slowly drips out of your swollen entrance pussy, sliding lazily down the skin of your inner thigh, a satisfying proof of exactly what just happened between you two. feeling entirely adored, you reach down.
using two delicate fingers, you gently spread your slick, pink, thoroughly used folds open, showing him the beautiful mess he has made of you. a soft, genuine, highly teasing giggle escapes your lips.
leon freezes.
he looks down, and a gentle, amused look instantly appears his handsome face. he groans loudly, running a heavy hand through his messy, sweat dampened blonde hair.
"you're absolutely gonna be the death of me, doll. you know that, right?" he reaches down and hands you the discarded lacy panties. his touch purposely, warmly lingers against the sensitive skin of your leg as he helps you sit fully up.
you both dress back in a comfortable peaceful silence. the suffocating, tension from earlier in the evening is completely dissolved and replaced by a warm intimacy that feels like it is going to stay permanently, at least you hope it would. you pull your sweater back on over your head, smoothing out the wrinkles in your skirt, while leon fastens his leather belt and grabs his leather jacket from the back of his chair.
he walks back over to you as you slip your heels back on your feet. without a word, he wraps his strong arms securely around your waist, pulling you flush against his broad chest.
he presses a soft, lingering sweet kiss directly to the top of your head.
"think we can continue this back at my place?" he asks, his voice returning to a low, gravelly, deeply comforting rumble right against your ear. "i don't think i can physically let you out of my sight tonight."
you tilt your head up, a small, happy smile playing on your lips. "yeah.. i'd really like that."
"good." he kisses your temple softly, his large hand moving to rest securely on the small of your back as he guides you toward the frosted glass door. "let's go home."

the first thing you noticed was the cold air around you.
it was not the dramatic, merciful kind of cold that announced itself all at once and then faded into numbness. it was quieter than that. meaner. it seeped beneath the cuffs of your jacket, slid under the tight leather of your gloves, and settled deep into your bones with a slow, deliberate cruelty.
the tires of his porsche churned viciously through the frozen mud, the engine emitting a low, rhythmic rattle that only served to deepen the crushing silence inside the foggy forest. outside the reinforced windows, the Russian twilight was bleeding into a dense, oppressive black, swallowing the pines and suffocating the isolated atmosphere. the fog rolled over the hood of the car in thick, ghostly waves, illuminated only by the sharp, cutting glare of the headlights.
you stared out the passenger window, your pale reflection ghosting over the frosted glass. your black jacket was zipped tight to your throat, the rigid collar pressing uncomfortably against the soft fabric of your black turtleneck. you kept your hands shoved deep into your pockets, your knuckles white, fingers curled into tight fists to hide the faint, betraying tremor of leftover adrenaline and the creeping cold.
beneath your skirt, the thick black tights offered little protection against the chill that seemed to seep directly through the floorboards and into your bones.
and to your left, Leon held the steering wheel with a loose, practiced grip that betrayed nothing of the violence coiled beneath his skin. his profile was carved from the stark shadows of the dashboard’s faint illumination, his jaw set in a hard, unyielding line, a muscle ticking faintly just beneath his ear. he was driving, his eyes fixed on the treacherous path ahead, utterly detached from the suffocating tension occupying the space between you.
the two of you hadn't really spoken since hunnigan gave you the details for this mission.
the argument at the DSO office days prior had been loud enough to shake the dust from the rafters. it had been a complete mess of explicit words about protocols you ignored, a breached perimeter , and the undeniable fact that you had chosen to follow your own medical instincts over his orders.
and he had been furious ever since.
It wasn't the explosive anger of a lesser man, his voice had dropped into that terrifying, deadened register that usually meant someone was about to get court-martialed or maybe even worse.
you hadn't bothered to apologise at all. not then, and not now either. instead, you had met his cold gaze with a silent, defensive deflection, locking your jaw and refusing to give him an inch of the submission he demanded as your superior.
now, four agonizing hours later, the silence between you was no longer just an absence of sound. It was a physical weight, thick with four years of built-up tension, near-misses, and an unacknowledged, suffocating attraction that tasted more like iron and blood than the romance you initially imagined of and hoped for. every time the car hit a rut, jolting your shoulders mere inches from touching, the air in the cabin seemed to thin, making it harder to breathe.
Leon slowed the vehicle, the gears shifting with a harsh, mechanical grind. the headlights swept across a rusted, iron gate hanging precariously off its shattered stone hinges. beyond it sat the sanatorium.
the stone facade was grand but utterly ruined, a decaying, brutalist monument of the old Soviet concrete overgrown with dead, creeping ivy and stained with decades of black rot. its windows were shattered, empty black maws staring back at them like dead eyes. It looked entirely abandoned, swallowed whole by the merciless silence of the forest.
the engine cut out.
the sudden, absolute absence of noise made the interior of the car feel instantly smaller, the walls pressing in tight. the ticking of the cooling engine block sounded like a countdown.
"check your comms," Leon commanded.
his voice was clipped, completely devoid of any warmth or familiarity.
you didn't turn to look at him. instead, you stubbornly kept your eyes on the decaying building, your breath catching slightly in your throat before reaching up. you adjusted the earpiece hidden beneath the thick strands of your dark hair, the freezing fingers brushing the hard plastic.
"comms are green."
"we move quick, we stay on line, and you stay behind me," he said, his gaze fixed straight ahead on the dark, gaping entrance of the main building. he didn't turn his head. he didn't seek your acknowledgment. but in the silence, the thick leather of his tactical gloves creaked as his fingers tightened imperceptibly on the steering wheel. "if I tell you to halt, you don't step. am I clear?"
you let out a short breathy exhale, not quite a laugh, but mocking enough to fracture the quiet. the sound was sharp in the cold, contained space. you finally turned your head, dark eyes tracing the broa line of his shoulder, the tactical vest that bulked his frame, up to the sharp angle of his cheekbone.
"you're always clear, Leon," you murmured, your voice steady, refusing to rise to his bait. "it's the flexibility you lack."
leon's head turned around slowly. his blue eyes were icy, catching the dim, fading light of the dashboard and pinning you in place. there was no mirth in his expression, no soft exasperation. there was only a dark, fraying patience that looked entirely too close to snapping.
"this isn't Washington," he said, his voice dropping an octave, the vibration of it settling low in your stomach. "you break line out here, and I leave you in the dirt. don't test my patience tonight."
you held his stare. your chin tilted upward a fraction of an inch. nor did you didn't offer a verbal agreement. knowing exactly how to challenge him, how to drag that suffocating control of his into the light just enough to see the cracks.
you wanted that reaction of his.
you needed the silent proof that beneath the ice, you could still disrupt him.
then, you broke the eye contact first, pushing your heavy door open before he could approve the movement. the biting, subzero russian air rushed into the cabin, hitting your face like a physical blow. you stepped out, your heavy boots crunching violently into the frozen gravel.
a moment later, the heavy slam of the driver’s side door echoed through the courtyard. leon was there, his boots hitting the ground with a deliberate force. he didn't look at you as he slung his assault rifle over his shoulder, the metal clasps clinking in the quiet.
as he passed you to take the lead, he didn't offer a lot of space. his arm brushed hard against yours, a brief, unnecessarily rough contact. it wasn't accidental though .it was a physical assertion of space, and the friction sent a sharp jolt of unwanted, pooling heat straight through you, settling deep in your core. you swallowed hard, your jaw tight, and fell into step exactly three paces behind him.
both of you entered through a shattered side door, the flashlights cutting through the thick, stagnant air of the sanatorium.
the interior was a sprawling wasteland of rusted iron, shattered tile, and damp decay. the smell was atrocious, a mix of wet concrete, black mold, and the metallic tang of old, dried blood that never quite left these places. water dripped from the ceiling somewhere deep in the pitch-black corridors, a slow, maddening clock ticking away in the dark.
you followed him silently, your eyes naturally tracking the broad, unyielding span of his shoulders beneath his gear.
for four years. four years of patching him up in sterile medical bays. four years of stitching his torn skin, pulling shrapnel from his flesh, of watching him bleed out and then return to the field like a machine devoid of a nervous system. you knew the topography of his body better than anyone else at in the DSO, every scar on his torso, the exact, shallow rhythm of his breathing when he was trying to hide his pain. but you had never been allowed past the psychological ice. the uncertainty of what he actually felt, if he felt anything at all beyond a simmering, professional irritation toward your stubbornness, was an old, chronic ache. and tonight, in the freezing dark, that ache had turned volatile.
leon stopped at a four-way intersection, his boot coming down softly. his flashlight beam swept across a collapsed ceiling in the northern corridor, illuminating a mountain of jagged concrete and exposed rebar.
"come on,to the left." he muttered, his voice barely carrying over the sound of dripping water.
you stepped up, closing the distance between you until you were entirely out of his designated formation. you stood beside him, your own light sweeping down the eastern corridor toward a row of heavy, reinforced iron doors.
"the medical wing should be there though" you said, your tone clinical, refusing to acknowledge his command. "if there's any remaining sample from the old research, it’ll be in the sub-basement labs. left takes us to the patient housing."
"we secure the ground floor first" leon said.
his hand shot out, catching your jacket sleeve before you could take another step. he pulled you back half a step. the movement wasn't gentle. his grip was tight, his thick, leather-clad fingers digging sharply through the heavy material of your coat and into the muscle of your upper arm.
"I said stay behind me."
you tensed, your breath flaring white in the freezing air. you yanked your arm out of his grasp with a sharp, violent jerk, your dark eyes flashing in the peripheral backscatter of your flashlights.
you didn't raise your voice, but your words were laced with venom. "I'm not a child, leon. i know how to navigate a clear corridor. the structural integrity to the east looks stable enough to cross."
leon turned fully toward you. he didn't speak immediately. he took a slow, deliberate step into your personal space, towering over you until his chest was nearly brushing the zipper of your jacket. he angled his body, forcing you to look up at him. the ambient smell of the rotting building faded, entirely overpowered by the scent of him, the cold air, rich leather, gun oil, and that deep, familiar musk of his skin. it dizzying, heavy, and intoxicating, despite the crushing harshness of his posture.
"i don't give a damn what it looks like to you," he hissed, the words vibrating with a suppressed rage. "you don't command this unit. i do. you follow the protocol I set, or you sit in the vehicle and wait for extraction."
you held your ground, refusing to lean back.
"the protocol that puts us an hour behind schedule?" you challenged, your voice dropping into a low, cutting whisper. you could feel the heat radiating off his body, contrasting violently with the sub-zero air of the hallway. your chest rose and fell with ragged, uneven breaths. "you're letting your anger from earlier cloud your judgment. it's inefficient, and you know it."
leon’s eyes darkened at your comment, the blue shifting into something entirely black and volatile in the shadows. he stared down at you, his jaw clenching so hard you could hear the faint grind of his teeth. for a long, agonizing second, the silence between you was deafening. the air grew impossibly thick, weighed down by an unwanted, heavy heat that had nothing to do with the freezing temperature of the decaying hospital. his broad chest heaved against his tactical rig, his legendary restraint visibly fraying, snapping at the edges under your continued defiance.
he didn't argue,nor did he didn't defend his tactics. he simply leaned in a fraction closer, his gaze dropping to your mouth for a split second before snapping back to your eyes.
"i said left." he repeated. It was a guttural growl that vibrated deep in his chest. "move, now."
the two of you walked in silence down the eastern wing, the rotted wooden floorboards groaning in protest beneath your combined weight.
you deliberately, stubbornly kept your pace just slightly out of sync with his. dragging your boots a fraction of a second too late, stepping a little too heavy. it was a petty, silent defiance, but you knew he could hear it. every time your heel clicked against a stray piece of broken tile, you felt his presence shift ahead of you. you could feel his focus narrowing, his attention heavy and watching, tracking your every movement through the gloom even with his back turned.
Afterwards,both of you reached the end of the hall, pushing through a set of swinging doors that hung limply on rusted hinges.
the room beyond was massive, a circular, cavernous space that looked like an old, brutalist operating theater. in the center of the room sat a long, heavy metal surgical table, pitted with dark rust and stained with decades of stagnant water. high above, a shattered glass dome let in the faint, anemic light of the moon, casting long, twisted shadows across the cracked tiles.
the air here was significantly colder. It bit at any exposed skin, your breaths escaping in thick, white plumes that hung in the air before dissipating into the dark.
you stepped away from him, approaching a tall metal cabinet sagging in the corner. the flashlight beam reflected off a row of shattered glass apothecary jars and the dull gray of ruined gauze.
"nothing here," you murmured, your voice flat, devoid of the earlier heat. you ran a gloved finger over the rim of a broken jar. "just old surgical tools. It’s a dead end."
"step away from the center of the room," leon said.
he was standing near the doorway, his rifle lowered but ready, his flashlight scanning the high, vaulted ceiling above the surgical table. the beam illuminated deep fissures running through the concrete.
you heard him very clear. his tone was authoritative. but the urge to push him, to find out exactly where his breaking point lay after hours of silent torture, was a sudden, blinding fever in your blood. you turned away from the cabinet, deliberately ignoring the command, and stepped closer to the rusted metal table in the dead center of the room to inspect a tray of degraded instruments.
you didn't even look at him.
"the ceiling is fine, Leon. you're being paranoid. we need to check the structural base of this table to see if there's a sub-floor—"
a loud, sharp crack echoed like a gunshot from the impenetrable shadows above.
before you could process the sound, before you could even tilt your head up, a massive, heavy chunk of concrete and rotting plaster rained down from the dome. it plummeted through the darkness and shattered violently against the very edge of the metal table, just inches from where your hand rested. a cloud of toxic, choking dust and iron rust exploded into the air, blinding you instantly.
you gasped, stumbling backward, but before you could find your footing, a massive weight slammed into you from the side.
leon's body hit yours with the force of a freight train. his momentum threw you violently backward, your spine colliding hard against the solid, unforgiving edge of the rusted metal table. his heavy rifle clattered deafeningly against the concrete floor as his large, gloved hands shot out, pinning your shoulders down with brutal force. his entire frame crushed you against the freezing steel, knocking the breath from your lungs in a sharp, painful, wheezing gasp.
"are you out of your mind?" Leon rasped.
the sound of his voice tearing through the dust was terrifying. his face was mere inches from yours. one of the flashlights had fallen to the floor, rolling wildly until it came to a halt against a wall, casting long, chaotic, upward shadows that illuminated the raw, unchecked fury in his features.
the controlled agent was entirely gone. his ash-blonde hair was messy, falling across his forehead, and his breathing was heavy, ragged, and hot against your cold skin. his eyes were wide, feral, and utterly terrifying.
you struggled against his crushing weight instinctively. your hands flew up, your palms pressing against the rigid plates of his tactical vest to push him away, but he didn't budge a single inch. it was like pushing against a stone wall.
"let... go!" you choked out, fighting to pull air back into your lungs. your stubbornness still flared through the adrenaline and shock, your jaw setting in a hard line. "it was just plaster, I would have—"
"shut up!" he snarled, his voice cracking with a violent intensity.
his fingers tightened around your shoulders with bruising force, pinning you so hard against the edge of the table that the rusted metal groaned loudly beneath you. "just shut the hell up for fuck's sake."
the silence that immediately followed his outburst was suffocating. dust continued to rain down softly around you, settling on your shoulders, but neither of you moved.
his broad chest was heaving against your breasts, rising and falling in an erratic, angry rhythm. his thick thighs had slotted seamlessly against yours, locking your legs completely into place against the heavy base of the surgical table.
you were entirely trapped.
you looked up at him. your heart was hammering against your ribs so violently you thought it might shatter them. your own breathing matched his, shallow, fast, erratic. your stared into his face, watching the muscles in his jaw bunch and release.
you could see it happening in real-time. could see the exact, terrifying moment his restraint snapped.
the years of hushed arguments in medical tents, the lingering, hidden glances across briefing rooms, the volatile, unspoken tension of your dynamic, it was all collapsing right here, in the dark, narrowing into a singular, dangerous focus.
"do you think this shit is a fucking game?" Leon whispered.
his voice had dropped entirely, slipping into a low, raspy register that made a heavy, involuntary shiver run straight down your spine. his hands suddenly released your shoulders, sliding up your neck with a rough, calloused touch to grip your jaw. his thick, leather-gloved fingers squeezed the sides of your face, forcing your head up, making it impossible for you to look anywhere but directly into the dark, churning depths of his eyes.
"you think you can push me," he continued, his thumb pressing hard against your cheekbone, "ignore my direct orders, and just walk away because you're the doctor?"
swallowing hard, your pulse frantic against his palm. "Leon—"
"I told you to step back." leon interrupted, his thumb sliding down to press brutally hard into the corner of your bottom lip, cutting off your words, parting your mouth slightly. hus blue eyes were pitch black in the shadows, entirely consumed by blown-out pupils. "you wanted a reaction? wanted to see exactly how far you could stretch my patience?"
you didn't pull away. it's not like you couldn't, but you also didn't try. despite the punishing harshness of his grip, a familiar, heavy ache flared to life deep between your thighs, hot and immediate.
you met his furious gaze, chest rising against his. with no intention to want him to let go.
you didn't want the soft, safe boundaries of your professional, distant roles. you wanted the suffocating roughness of his anger. yoi wanted the undeniable truth of his heavy weight holding you down in the dark.
you kept your voice low, deliberately steady, despite the tremor in your hands.
"I know you won't do anything" you whispered against the leather of his glove. It was a blatant provocation, sharp and reckless. "you're too much of a professional."
leon's eyes flared wide at your words. the air in the room seemed to combust. with a terrifying, humorless smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
"you really are a fucking brat."
the speed at which he moved was blinding. before you could take a breath, his hand shifted from your jaw to the heavy metal zipper at the front of your jacket. he gripped it and yanked it down violently in one sharp, continuous motion. the sound of the zipper tearing open echoed loudly. he didn't pause to pull the jacket off your shoulders, his large, caloused hands reached directly under the thick, woolen hem of your black turtleneck.
his freezing, leather-clad fingers gripped the bare skin of your waist with a brutal strength that you knew would leave bruises by morning.
you let out a sharp, involuntary whine, your fingers immediately clutching blindly at the heavy fabric of his tactical vest as he manhandled you. with a raw, effortless display of physical dominance, he turned your body around, twisting you forcefully until your stomach and chest slammed flat against the cold surface of the metal surgical table.
the shock of the freezing steel through your clothes made you gasp loudly.
"Leon, wait—"
"you don't get to tell me to wait," he growled directly into your ear. his breath was scorching hot against the sensitive, freezing skin of your neck, raising goosebumps along your spine.
he leaned forward, pinning your lower back down with the crushing weight of his heavy forearm. his body weight flattened you completely against the steel, leaving you utterly immobile.
with his free hand, he reached down, gripping the thick fabric of your black skirt.
he shoved it up past your thighs, bunching it roughly around your waist. your breath hitched in a panicked, thrilled gasp as the absolute zero air of the dead theater hit the back of your legs, which were protected only by the thin mesh of your black tights. you instinctively tried to pull your leg forward, trying to find some leverage on the slick, rusted metal, but leon immediately drove his thigh directly between your knees. he forced your legs wide apart, locking you in a position of a humiliating vulnerability.
"you've been begging for this for months," leon muttered. his tone was rough, stripped of any pretense or decency. his large hand hooked aggressively into the tight waistband of your tights and underwear simultaneously. with a rough downward tug that made the synthetic fabric rip slightly at the seam, he pulled them down past your thighs, leaving the soft, pale skin of your ass entirely exposed to the biting cold.
"one argument after another," he ground out, his voice thick with a dark, bitter arousal. "every time you talked back in front of the unit. standing there, thinking you won't face the consequences because you wear a white coat."
"i wanted you to listen to me—" you gasped out. your face was pressed sideways against the icy metal of the table. your fingers were clawing desperately at the rusted, pitted edges, trying to find an anchor in the storm of his aggression.
"I'm listening now," he said.
slap.
the sound of his heavy, leather-clad palm striking your bare flesh echoed violently through the empty, cavernous operating theater. it sounded exactly like a gunshot in the dark.
you squealed, your spine arching upward off the metal involuntarily. eyes squeezed shut as a blinding heat bloomed violently across your right cheek. the pain was immediate, a stinging fire that spread fast in the freezing room. but beneath the agonizing sting, heavy pulse throbbed between your thighs. your pussy flooded with a violent, sudden, shameful wetness.
"that's for breaking the safety perimeter at the safehouse," leon stated. his voice wasn't yelling anymore. it was entirely controlled, flat, and utterly terrifying.
slap.
he struck you again, his palm landing in the exact same spot with brutal precision.
your hips jerked upward, bucking wildly against his hold. a choked, desperate cry escaped your throat, your nails scraping against the steel. "leon, damn you—"
"and that's for the ceiling," he interrupted coldly. his heavy hand came down a third time, significantly harder. the sheer impact of the strike rattled your entire frame against the heavy table.
slap.
"you don't get to talk back out here," he rasped, his breathing finally starting to heavily alter, growing thick and ragged.
"you don't get to decide which orders matter and which ones don't."
the spankings continued in a steady, punishing, rhythm. leon didn't rush it. he didn't lose himself. he delivered each deliberate slap with a heavy force that had you sobbing brokenly into the metal table.
your cheeks were flushed hot,your entire body shaking uncontrollably from the overwhelming combination of the freezing air and the red-hot, blistering pain radiating from your backside. your flesh was burning, the skin turning a deep, angry crimson beneath his unforgiving hands.
"are you going to look at me when I speak to you?" leon demanded.
his hand paused mid-air before coming down to rest,heavy , and rough, against your throbbing, sensitized flesh. the heat of his palm seeping into your stung skin was a torment of its own.
you dragged your face across the rusted metal, forcing yourself to turn your head. your dark hair was tangled wildly across your face. eyes slightly open, wet with hot tears of shock, pain, and overwhelming arousal. you tried to look at him through the gloom, your chest heaving.
"i'm looking," you panted. Your voice was broken, trembling violently, but your jaw was still set, that core of stubborn defiance refusing to die. "is this... is this all you've got, Mr.Kennedy?"
leon stared down at you, his eyes narrowed into dangerous slits. a faint chuckle slipped from the back of his throat.
"not even close."
he released you back for a fraction of a second, reaching down to the heavy tactical belt at his waist. you heard the distinct, chilling, metallic slide of his tactical combat knife being drawn smoothly from its Kydex sheath.
a cold spike of genuine, primal fear shot through your chest, instantly mixing with the heavy lust going through your veins.
he didn't touch your skin with the sharp edge of the blade, but you felt the flat, freezing steel of the heavy weapon slide slowly, deliberately along the black tights,right across where your exposed underwear was.
"you think you're safe because we work together?" leon whispered.
he leaned down, pressing his chest heavily over your back until his lips brushed against the cold shell of your ear. his hand pressed the flat of the freezing blade gently, warningly, against the delicate skin at the small of your back.
"i could leave you tied to this table," he breathed, your voice a dark, velvet threat.
"no one knows we're in this wing of the sanatorium."
"you wouldn't—" you talked back. heart hammering so hard you could literally feel the pulse beating in your throat. even though you were slightly terrified, you were dripping wet of slick.
"don't test my boundaries tonight when you already ruined yours," he said. his voice dropped into a cruel, mocking tone that offered absolutely no comfort.
he slid the heavy knife back into its sheath. the loud click of the lock engaging sounded like a final, damning judgment in the empty room.
he didn't give you a second to recover from the threat. his fingers hooked violently into the thick hair at the base of your skull, curling into a fist. pulling your head back roughly, then forcing your spine to arch so you were staring blindly up at the pitch-black shadows of the ruined ceiling. with his other hand, he reached roughly between your thighs from behind.
you gasped, your mouth falling open as his rough, gloved fingers found your swollen folds. you were slick, dripping with your own uncontrollable arousal. he didn't stroke you though. didn't soothe the ache. without a word of warning, he slid two thick fingers directly inside you with a sudden and rough, upward thrust.
you cried out loudly, a sharp, broken sound. the thick leather of his tactical glove stretched your tight, wet walls uncomfortably, the friction intense and borderline abrasive.
"look at how wet you are for me," Leon murmured sneeringly, his hot breath ghosting over the shell of your ear.
he began to fuck you with his fingers in a fast, degrading rhythm. his thumb pressed down hard, grinding relentlessly against your swollen clit without an ounce of mercy or tenderness.
"you think this makes you brave?" he mocked, pumping his fingers deeper into your tight core, scraping the sensitive walls.
"getting fucked on a rusted table in the middle of a dead zone because you couldn't follow basic protocol?"
"shut up... please, just..." you sobbed, your words breaking apart.
you couldn't finish the sentence. your highly educated, rational smartass was entirely dissolving into a chaotic haze of shame, pain and overwhelming pleasure.
the friction of the wet leather inside you was incredibly intense, riding the razor-thin line between pain and ecstasy, but it was exactly what you had starved for. you lost your fight. you pushed your hips back eagerly against his hand, chasing the rough thrusts, begging silently for the depth of his touch even as hot tears leaked continuously from the corners of your tightly shut eyes.
"you like being put like this, huh? like knowing how easily I can fuck you senseless?" leon rasped.
his own breathing had finally lost its iron control, becoming desperate, and loud in the quiet room. he pulled his dripping fingers out of you with a wet, obscene snap, leaving you instantly empty and shivering violently.
before you could form a word of protest, you heard the sound of his tactical gear shifting. the metal click of his belt buckled, the heavy slide of his heavy trousers being unzipped and shoved down.
a second later, the thick, length of his cock brushed deliberately against the aching flesh of your exposed cunt. he was huge, radiating a blistering heat in the freezing air, and completely unyielding.
"leon—" you whispered.
a sudden, terrifying wave of absolute vulnerability hit you. the reality of what was about to happen, here, like this, under these conditions, crashed over you.
"leon, look at me—"
he didn't look.
he grabbed your hips with both of his large hands, his fingers digging brutally into your delicate hip bones with a force that would absolutely leave blooming bruises the next day. he aligned himself, gripped you tight, and drove his cock deep inside you from behind in one violent, punishing thrust.
you screamed into the empty, cavernous room. The sound was immediately swallowed by the dark, dead stone walls.
the stretch was immense, a sharp, burning, suffocating fullness that felt like it was tearing through all of your remaining physical and mental defenses. he filled you completely, stretching you to your absolute limit.
stopping didn't even cross his mind in this moment,knowing exactly it was what you were desperate for. he didn't give you a moment to adjust to his massive size or the agonizing stretch. just instantly began to fuck you with a brutal, angry, relentless rhythm. his heavy hips slammed violently against your pussy with a wetsmacking sound that echoed obscenely, filling the silent theater.
the scene was entirely devoid of romance. this was no gentle lovemaking, no soft words of devotion. it was dark, it was freezing cold, and it was frantic. it was the violent release of four years of suffocating frustration and unwanted, denied desire and mutual feelings, finally snapping in the worst possible place, at the worst possible time.
leon's hands on your hips were relentless, with a grip so immovable.
his deep grunts of physical exertion sounded rough in your ear as he drove himself deeper and deeper into your wet core.
"you're fucked out here," he growled, his pace quickening into a blur. his cock hit your cervix with a blunt, bruising force that made you see starts and left you entirely dizzy. "say it. say you're my subordinate."
"god , leon— I'm.. yours," you sobbed openly now.
your fingers were slipping uselessly on the rusted metal as you tried to hold your upper body up. you were completely broken open, entirely at his mercy. "fuck... please..."
"that's my good girl," he muttered. the words weren't a comfort,instead they sounded bitter, almost cruel, laced with a twisted satisfaction on his tongue.
he reached around your back with his right hand. thick fingers wrapped securely around the front of your throat from behind, squeezing firmly. he didn't crush your windpipe, but he apply just enough steady pressure to restrict your frantic breath, forcing you into a state of choked, lightheaded compliance as he delivered the final, devastatingly thrusts.
your world entirely narrowed down to the gray concrete floor beneath you, the freezing steel biting into your chest, the painful grip on your throat, and the blinding, white-hot explosion of your orgasm. It ripped violently through your lower body, a devastating release that made you cry out into his hand as your vaginal walls clamped down agonizingly tight around his thick cock.
leon let out a low, guttural snarl.
his massive body tensed completely, every muscle pulling taut as steel. he drove his hips forward one last, brutal time, pinning you utterly flat against the rusted table as he spent himself deep, hot, and heavy within you. he held himself buried to the hilt, his chest heaving heavily against your back, his grip still tight around your throat.
for a long, heavy minute, the only sound in the massive, decaying room was your ragged, echoing breath, loud in the dark.
then reality crept back in. the adrenaline began to recede, and the freezing cold rushed back with a vengeance.
leon released your throat the next second. he pulled out of you without a single word of warning.
the sudden absence of his burning heat and filling weight made you shiver violently. you collapsed forward, staying face down on the freezing metal table. your entire body was trembling uncontrollably.your skin was sticky with a mixture of cold sweat and thick fluids that were already turning freezing against your bare thighs in the damp subzero air.
then you closed your eyes softly and waited.
you waited for a warm hand on your back. you waited for him to reach down and gently pull you up, to turn you around and finally look at you. waited for him to say something, anything, that would soften the bleeding edges of what had just occurred between you. a word of comfort. a acknowledgment that it meant something.it should?shouldn't it?
but instead, the only sound that cut through the silence was the sharp, metallic zip of his trousers. the rustle of his tactical gear being adjusted, the clinking of buckles and straps being pulled back into perfect, impenetrable order.
you slowly pushed yourself up, limbs feeling incredibly weak and shaking violently. you reached down, pulling your torn underwear and black tights back up over your thighs. freezing, numb hands fumbling awkwardly with the ruined fabric.
then your black skirt followed back into place, hiding the deep, angry red handprints that burned on your skin.
you turned around slowly, leaning against the rusted edge of the surgical table for support. looking up at him.
although, leon was already standing three feet away.
his blonde hair had been pushed back aggressively from his forehead. the impassive mask of the agent had returned, and the ice was thicker and more impenetrable than it had ever been before. at least that is what he wanted you to think.
he picked up his assault rifle from the dust covered floor, checking the chamber and the safety with efficiency.
he didn't look at your face in this agonizing. didn't meet your eyes. he just stared blankly at a spot somewhere near your collarbone, voice entirely flat and dead.
"fix your jacket. we have twenty minutes before the extraction window changes."
you froze at that. your heart didn't just break, it dropped into a cold, bottomless, void in your chest.
the silence between you was no longer volatile. it was no longer charged with heat or tension that built up until now. it was completely empty. beyond gut-wrenching. the brutal act hadn't cleared whether that he loved you or he hated your guts. it hadn't cleared the suffocating tension or broken the barrier between you. it had only violently snapped the one fragile line of connection you had left, leaving the emotional damage entirely, irreparably unresolved.you could only hope for any affection left deep down his hardened heart.
"leon—" you whispered, your voice cracking painfully in the quiet.
"i said move out," he cut you off, his voice void of any human emotion. "it's the last time I'll say it."
he didn't wait for a response. he turned his broad back to you, the flashlight beam on his shoulder cutting a harsh white path through the dust, and began walking toward the northern corridor.
you stood entirely alone in the center of the ruined operating theater. the freezing air bit viciously at your tear stained skin. you stared at his retreating back, realizing with a dull, suffocating, and incredibly heavy ache that you had wanted to break him, and in doing so, you had thought that everything was now infinitely, permanently worse.
or was it?
with shaking, numb fingers, you slowly pulled the zipper of your jacket back up to your throat, burying your chin in the collar, and stepped away from the table to follow him into the dark.

You sit up in bed, frustrated and disheveled from tossing and turning. It's been over an hour, and you still feel just as awake as you did when you first laid down. You don't even want to know what ungodly time of the morning it is.
Despite your sheets smelling of Caleb, bringing back a feeling of comfort you had been chasing for over a year now, nothing seemed to work. Falling asleep in a new place never gets easier, even though Caleb was kind enough to lend you the only lived-in bedroom in his apartment.
Caleb… Surely the exclusive privileges he granted you as children were still valid? And if so, he wouldn't mind if you used them again now, right?
Slipping out from underneath the covers, you pad out of your bedroom on bare feet, shivering a little at the feeling of the tile floor against your soles. You quietly sneak down the hallway, stopping once you reach Caleb's room. You take a shaky breath, gathering your courage for a few seconds, before quietly knocking.
You don't get a response, but you're not surprised. You often wouldn't get one when you were a kid, either, unless he was up late studying. You turn the door handle; it's unlocked, and you close the door behind you before quietly making your way inside the dark room.
He's sprawled out beneath his comforter, chest steadily rising and falling in slumber. You hesitate again, but tell yourself you've already come far enough, and it'd be a waste to throw in the towel now. You swallow, before gently shaking Caleb's broad shoulder, your voice soft and timid.
"Caleb? Caleb, wake up,"
His eyes crack open as he looks up at you, still half asleep. He props himself up on his elbow, rubbing his eye with his free hand. His voice is gravelly and slurred with sleep.
"Pips? Whatsup…?"
"I can't fall asleep," you admit sheepishly, your cheeks heating up with embarrassment and eyes darting away from his. You're a grown adult… maybe this was a bad idea. "M'really sorry for waking you up, I've just been trying for a long time, and-"
"No, no, s'okay," he mumbles, sitting up a bit more to tug back the covers for you. "Should've come sooner, pips. C'mere,"
You climb into bed beside him. Unsure of how to lie, you hover a bit nervously until Caleb pats the bed next to him.
"I said c'mere, pips. I've got you, yeah? Like when we were kids."
You comply, lying beside him, giving him a cautious amount of distance with your head on the opposite end of his pillow. He chuckles softly, his breath brushing your nose, and shakes his head.
"Silly. You know what I meant, pipsqueak. Here,"
He pulls you forwards with his Evol, coaxing you to bury your face in his chest as he wraps his arms around you and tangles his legs with your own.
"Better?" He asks, and when you nod, you feel the vibration of his voice beneath your cheek as he lets out a soft hum of satisfaction. Your body relaxes as you breathe him in, your eyes drooping shut as you let yourself start to drift. It just feels right, being close to him like this; two halves of a whole, finally reunited after so long.
"I really missed you," you confess, your voice wobbling the slightest bit as you feel stubborn tears start to well up in your eyes. He threads a hand into your hair, gently scratching at your scalp, the way you used to beg him to when you were children.
"I know," he whispers, pressing a kiss to your head, reverent. "I know. I'm not goin' anywhere, alright? Not ever again. I'm with you for good."
You nod, already feeling yourself start to drift off, enveloped in his large, solid body and surrounded by his familiar scent.
"Rest," he murmurs, kissing your temple. "I'll be right here when you wake up. Never leaving you alone again."
