He wasn't quiet sure what to think about her now that he actually took the time out to actually sit down and look at things. In the seven years that he had known her, Leon Kennedy could not place a label on Claire Redfield if his life depended on it. Just as he thought he was beginning to understand the rash actions and ideas that flickered through those beautifully colored eyes of hers, she would say something so completely mature and balanced that it threw him off track.

Claire Redfield wasn't like other girls, that was for sure. But, for some reason, she could attract him to her like a moth to a flame. Whenever she looked at him, delicate smile tilting at the corners of her lips, Leon always swore that his heart rate increased in a ten-fold. Her touch, even if it was an innocent one, was like the caress of a warm fire during a summer night. When she spoke, he found himself hanging off of her every word, eyes drawn to her as though they were glued.

"Ace?" He turned his head to lock eyes with her ocean-colored depths. "You okay? You're more quiet than usual." She always did this to him; interrupting everything he did, that was[1]. Even when he first met her, the bombshell biker with sharp tongue and even sharper aim, Claire either cut him off or never let him finish what he was saying. Not like he minded, though. When it came to things dealing with Claire Redfield, Leon just allowed them to pass right over him.

She came to him unexpected and, without so much as a single warning, he had fallen in love with her.

Author's Note:

[1]: Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me? xD Poor Leon; he's always getting cut off by beautiful women. Just can't win, bud.

Anyways, welcome to Serendipity, the Cleon one-shot booklet. Thanks to the lovely community over at LJ, I have been provided with prompts and a few ideas in order to get things rolling. I want about thirty-maybe more, maybe less-so we'll see how it goes. I'm trying to update at least twice a week, so if I don't stick to my motto, please feel free to spork me! In the words spoken by everyone's favorite agent: Until Next Time.
