Summary
Leon Kennedy was dangerous for Chris. Everyone knew it. Chris could see the way Jill looked at him disapprovingly after catching him staring for a bit too long at the DSO agent. Claire’s warnings about how ‘you know I love Leon, but…’were burned into his brain. Not that he needed them to point out to him that his infatuation with the younger man was a bad idea. Leon was a shattered mess of trauma, distrust, booze, and sarcasm wrapped up in packaging so pretty it could talk you into enabling him with ease. Leon was an inferno. If Chris got too close, he knew he’d get burned. He’d remind himself that he didn’t want to get his heart broken, force himself to stop thinking about him, and move on with his day.
But then Leon would look at him with those blue eyes wet with unshed tears of frustration. He’d lean against Chris, too drunk to stand on his own. He’d come back from an assignment with his body broken and mind twisted in knots with a desperate need for someone to help him put the pieces back together.
Chris wanted to be that someone.

Summary
“Well… I wanted to talk with you a bit.” Chris said in a surprisingly soft tone, looking at the man in a way that lacked the pity Leon was so sure of.
So he didn't have B.O.W. guts in his hair, huh? He couldn’t, it would be impossible to be looked at in this way if he did. Leon's heart started beating faster, his irritation taking a step back, replaced by that feeling again.
“Wanna come in?” Leon suggested before he could stop himself.

Summary
“So let me get this straight,” Leon said, staring at Claire from big eyes, “when Chris asked me if I’m free today he wasn’t actually asking me out. But he was asking me to go on a date with you?”
“Afraid so,” Claire sighed, and she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy as Leon’s face fell in obvious disappointment.

Summary
It started when he was younger, a passing thing he had done in the first foster home he could remember being in. He would close his eyes tightly, squeezing to the point he could make out sparks of color underneath his eyelids, and would take one last gasp for air before holding it just as tightly in his lungs. Then, he would wait.
The first time, he heard nothing but the sound of a porch swing creaking in the wind outside of his bedroom window. Cars passing by on the street outside. The gentle groans of a house eight times as old as him. No footsteps. Nobody coming running out of a divine sense that the little boy had stopped breathing. The world kept spinning and his lungs soon ached for the rapidly depleting oxygen. Nobody came.
The place changed, his lung capacity even changed, but the one universal constant was that nobody ever came through the door.
Maybe that's why Leon, drunk out of his mind on a motel floor, hadn't even heard the first knock.
