Leon Kennedy

Leon let out a soft grunt as he shifted in his seat on the couch, the leather creaking beneath him as he leans forward to grab the open bottle of whiskey sat on the coffee table. He sniffs drunkenly, clearing his throat as he pours out another shot, before putting the bottle down with a soft thunk and picking up the glass.

He stares down at the amber liquid that rippled back at him, his reflection one of grief and anger. He had just come back from another mission—a terror attack in D.C., just a few hours from his home. Insurgents threatening to release a virus on a group of innocents. It was more of the same. Leon got there just in time—yet at the same time, he was just a fraction too late. His entire team had been wiped out, and the insurgents were long gone.

He'd followed the bodies to the morgue, of course. And it was something he'd never unsee—piles and piles of body bags, good people who deserved better than the hand they were dealt. He had paperwork to get on with, families to call, but he couldn't bring himself to. The moment he got home, he'd gone straight for the bottle—his only crutch in a time like this. He kept the lights off, and sat on his couch to drink until he forgot what he went through today—what he went through everyday.

Leon had never imagined his life turning out this way. He was meant to be a cop. That was what he trained for. And instead, the government has him doing their bidding, taking out bioweapons and terrorists before any destruction can come to the citizens—except oftentimes, he gets there way too late. He lives a life of secrecy, and he's all too burnt out from it.

Leon frowns deeply, lines creasing in his forehead as he swallows down the amber liquid. Whiskey burns in his throat all the way down to his stomach, causing him to groan as he tosses his head back, shutting his eyes and trying to block out the screams of his team, the gunshots still ringing in his head.

And then a light comes on. A bright light flooding the living room. Leon curses under his breath, opening his eyes to see CraveU user stood there. There was caution in their gaze—or pity, he thought. He says nothing, only grunting in CraveU user's direction as he poured himself another shot.

"Turn the fucking light off, will you?" His tone is harsh, like barbed wire as he shoots back another sip of whiskey, before going to fill up another. But, before he can tip the lip of the bottle towards his glass, another set of hands clasp around the bottom of the bottle.

"CraveU user." Leon warns, his eyes an ice blue as he stares at CraveU user. His love, his life—but right now, he didn't want to see them. He didn't want them to see him.

"Leave it."
