Leon Kennedy's apartment Washington D.C.
Chris woke the next morning and as he stared down at the sleeping man he was entwined with he felt a surge of warmth in his chest. He gently stroked Leon's hair from his face and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. Suddenly Leon's eyes shot open and he pulled away with a cry of fear. "Leon!" Chris pulled him back and held on until the younger man stilled gasping for air. "You're safe Rookie." He murmured kissing the top of Leon's head. "I've got you."
"Chris?" Leon's voice cracked as his eyes sought out the older man's face. Once they had he finally relaxed, pressing his face into Chris's chest.
"That must have been some dream." Chris responded mildly. Leon laughed harshly.
"Yeah." He moved closer to Chris his fingers gently tracing the muscles there.
"I have them too." Chris murmured, enjoying the feather light caresses.
"What do you do...after?"
"Work out." Chris chuckled when Leon snorted and pinched him playfully. "No, I usually talk to Jill or Sheva. They've been through the same shit, so they understand."
"I used to talk to Claire." Leon said quietly. "And...someone else, but she's gone now."
"Ada?" Chris's heart broke as Leon's eyes filled and he nodded. "I'm sorry Leon." Chris breathed pulling the younger man closer.
"I-" Leon's voice broke as he began to cry wrapping his arms around Chris's neck and burying his face in the larger man's chest. Chris stroked his hair and just held him. No words could make it better and the brunette had a feeling Leon didn't need them. So he cradled the small man close and cried with him. It was a release for the both of them; one that they desperately needed. Then Leon's lips were on his and he was falling again.
"I love you, Leon." He whispered against the blonde's lips. Leon held him tighter and kissed him with everything he'd been holding back.
"I love you too." Leon murmured before his lips began trailing down Chris's neck. The doorbell ringing surprised the both of them. They looked at each other than scrambled out of bed and into some clothes. As Leon approached the door Chris realized that each of them had a gun in hand. The blonde peered through the peephole and froze. Chris tensed until Leon put his gun in his jeans at the small of his back then opened the door. Claire stood there staring at Leon's bare chest. Chris shrugged off the voice telling him to wring her neck as Leon stepped aside to let her in. As soon as the door closed she threw her arms around Leon's neck, bursting into tears.
"I'm sorry Leon! I didn't mean any of it, you have to know that."
"I do." Kennedy replied disentangling himself from her arms and stepping back. "You were upset and you were right saying that I don't support TerraSave, but you know now that I don't support Tricell either. Nor have I forgotten Raccoon City."
"I know, and I'm sorry-wait. You don't support TerraSave even after all this?"
"No." Leon sighed as Claire folded her arms. "I told you that in Harvardville and it won't change until they can get all their damn facts straight. I understand what you're trying to do and have never not wanted you to succeed, but you aren't TerraSave. You know more than they do about the threats the world is facing, but you don't control the organization and maybe if you did they would actually get shit done instead of impeding companies that do try to help people by making the vaccines and antidotes that they need."
"So you support human testing." Claire frowned.
"God, Claire." Leon threw his hands up in the air. "I give up. I told you and your damn organization that those photos were taken way out of context."
"Oh?" Claire raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I was there when they were taken." Leon snapped. Both Claire and Chris looked at him in surprise. "I don't know who sent them to you but the people in them had just turned and the doctors were trying to treat them with what they had, which wasn't enough." His eyes narrowed at Claire. "And you know why it wasn't enough? Because TerraSave has been blocking pharmaceutical companies from shipping out the medicines they've created to combat the viruses. So don't stand there and tell me to support an organization that is getting in the way." Claire stared up at him her eyes wide.
"That can't be true." She whispered.
"It is Claire. I tried to tell you that in Harvardville, but you wouldn't listen then either.
"But if the drugs aren't safe they shouldn't be distributed." Claire argued trying to defend her organization.
"If they weren't safe, Claire, I wouldn't be here." Leon replied calmly. "But you would know that if you hadn't disregarded any information not going against the drug companies." He took a step towards her. "I asked you to meet with me after the Tricell conference so that I could tell you what I couldn't there, but you weren't having any of it. You wanted to make me the bad guy just because I can't agree with everything your organization does. If you had just agreed I would have told you what I'm telling you now. If you hadn't given up on me I would have told you the truth, but you got up on your high horse and drank the conspiracy koolaid."
"What are you talking about?"
"Do you think I work for the Government by choice?" He snapped.
"Obviously, otherwise you wouldn't do whatever it is you do." Claire shot back putting her hands on her hips.
"Shows how much you know." Leon snorted derisively. "You don't know what happened after you left Sherry and I at that hotel outside Raccoon City do you?"
"You let them take her away." Claire screamed in his face.
"You're an idiot." Leon snarled. Chris's eyebrows went up. The shit was seriously about to hit the fan. He could tell by the look on his sister's face, and was about to step in, but decided Claire had it coming; besides that he was kind of enjoying himself. "They were going to take her no matter what I did. I was only one person, Claire, and a rookie at that. What the hell was I supposed to do?"
"Stop them!"
"How? By getting myself killed or arrested?" Leon shook his head.
"So you just gave her up didn't you? I was right!"
"No, I made them a deal." Leon's face suddenly looked 20 years older. "They'd get me and the G-virus without a fight, but Sherry was to be protected. So it was work for the President and keep Sherry safe or die and let them use her." Claire's eyes widened. "You seriously think I would put up with all the shit I've had to by choice? Jesus Claire." Leon turned away running his hands through his hair. Chris had had enough. He coughed startling Claire.
"Chris?" She stared at him in shock. "When did you get here?"
"He stayed the night." Leon replied for him. "Apparently he didn't want me to be on my own."
"I didn't realize you guys were so close." She looked so confused Chris had to laugh. "I thought you'd be alone this morning so we could talk."
"Well I'm not, and I'd like you to leave." Leon stalked into the bathroom and closed the door. Chris frowned after him before turning to sister.
"What the fuck is wrong with you Claire?"
"Nothing's wrong with me, Chris, I came here to make up with him."
"Yeah? Well you're doing a shitty job of it." He snorted.
"I realize that now" She snapped back. "What are you doing here anyway? You should be with your team."
"Jill and Sheva are fine on their own, trust me, they don't need me bugging them."
"And Leon does?"
"He asked you to leave Claire." Chris ground his teeth to from spitting out the truth. He wasn't sure if Leon wanted the world to know about them yet.
"Fine." His sister snapped before spinning on her heel and stomping out. "But this isn't over, not by a long shot." She hissed before slamming the door. Chris took a deep breath and walked to the bathroom. He could hear water running on the other side.
"Leon?" He called, knocking on the door. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Came the muffled reply. "She gone?"
"You couldn't hear the door slam?" Chris laughed. "She's royally pissed."
"Yeah, well so am I." Leon replied opening the door. His eyes were red and swollen. Chris pulled him into his arms and kissed the top of his head. Leon raised his face and pulled Chris's lips to his before dragging him into the bathroom and kicking the door shut. Before Chris could figure out what was going on they were both naked and in a very large shower with hot water steaming the air around them.
"Leon-"
"Shh." The younger man put a finger to his lips. "I don't want to talk right now, later alright?" Chris nodded, struck dumb by the sight Leon made as he slid to his knees in front of him. He was struck even dumber as Leon licked the head of his cock before sucking it into his mouth. If he hadn't already known that he was Leon's first male lover he would have thought he had been practicing the art of fellation. He groaned gripping the wet strands of Leon's hair as the younger man's tongue worked him up and down. Chris gasped as something Leon said the night before ran through his mind. "I want you to fuck my mouth until I choke." He hoped Leon meant it, because there was nothing that he wanted to do more at that moment so he tightened his hold on Leon's head and began to thrust into his open mouth. The blonde grunted reaching up to steady himself with Chris's hips and swallowed the tip of the older man's cock down his throat. Chris groaned thrusting harder.
"God." Chris gasped as Leon moaned, the sound vibrating up his cock. He pulled out of Leon's mouth and dragged him up to ravish his bruised looking mouth with his tongue. Leon moaned in what seemed like protest until Chris pinned him face first against the shower wall and slid two fingers into his ass. The blonde bit his lip and spread his legs. Chris pressed in a third finger. He should have done this the night before, but things had been moving too fast. Leon groaned pressing back against him. Chris removed his fingers and pushed the tip of his cock through the small hole. Leon's lips parted as he inhaled sharply; he was ready and waiting. Chris pushed his way in slowly enjoying the sensation of Leon's muscles moving apart then clenching around him. "Jesus you're so tight." He groaned sliding home. Leon moaned breathlessly pressing his face into the cold tile wall. Chris gripped the younger man's hips and began to thrust in and out at a slow, steady pace. They hit their climax together and as Chris pulled out Leon turned towards him. His hands reached up to caress the sides of the taller man's face. Chris smiled and leaned in to kiss the blonde gently before shutting the water off and dragging him back to bed. He wasn't sure if Leon and his sister would make up, but he didn't really care. Leon was his and he would do anything to keep it that way.
