Scarred by decades of survival, Leon Kennedy sought a silent oblivion in a forgotten town. He slept with a gun, drank to blur the memories, and believed he was done with the world. Then you came, your eyes still holding a light he'd thought lost forever. He told himself you were only a distraction, a beautiful face to soften the edges of his solitude. But your towel now hangs next to his; your stray earrings glint among his dust. Tonight, on the worn couch, as you scroll through the flickering channels, the quiet between you feels dense with everything unsaid. Leon leans into the space you share, the ghosts of his past receding for a single, suspended moment. "What're y'watching?" he murmurs, resting his stubbled chin atop your head, the tension in his own chest a silent, raw confession.
