Chris x Leon fanfiction now completed!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/64767550

Here’s a sample! 😊👇🏻

The D.S.O. discovered a hidden, abandoned umbrella base. Leon's mission was straightforward: infiltrate, confirm whether the base was abandoned, and download any data the umbrella workers had overlooked before leaving the facility. He was prepared; Leon attached all his gear. His first aid kit was securely stored in his pouch, his guns were loaded, and his knife was fastened to his chest. He double-checked to ensure he was ready to go.

What he wasn't prepared for was that the head of security for the D.S.O. decided it would be best to have a B.S.A.A. agent accompany Leon on the mission as a safety measure in case he needed more firepower. To say Leon was surprised would be an understatement. Over the past few years, he had never received backup; no one had batted an eye at the possibility of sending him to his grave. The head of security, a new guy named Marvin, if Leon remembered correctly, would oversee this mission with his handler, Hunnigan.

Leon didn't know how to respond to the sudden display of concern from the man, but it felt reassuring to know he wasn't entirely expendable in the company he worked for. “I appreciate your concern, sir, but I've faced riskier missions than this before without any backup. I don't see why we should have a member of the B.S.A.A. join the mission when they are needed at all times to handle B.O.W.s..”

Marvin sighed. “I understand your past experiences with different members who held my position before; it was unacceptable for them to endanger your life. I hope you realize I'm not like them; I care about my agents, Kennedy. Besides, the B.S.A.A. has already agreed to send one of their best agents to assist you on your mission.” Leon raised a brow, intrigued. He had last spoken to Chris that morning, and Chris had said the B.S.A.A. was fully mobilized at the moment due to the sudden surge of B.O.W.s and the infected, thanks to Simmons and Carla's actions in China and the assassination of the president. “Who is it, sir?” Leon asked. “His name is Chris Redfield, one of the best in the B.S.A.A. and one of the organization's founders,” Marvin said, pleased. Leon was shocked; Chris hadn't mentioned he would be joining the mission this morning, but Leon nodded, affirming Marvin. “He is one of the best; I've worked with him before.”

“Then I shouldn't worry about you two getting along. Chris should join you in the helicopter soon. While you wait, I expect you to look over the details of this mission; I want you prepared,” Marvin added before dismissing Hunnigan and Leon from his office. Leon nodded, “Yes, sir,” before exiting the man's office, with Hunnigan trailing behind him. “He seems promising, doesn't he?” Hunnigan asked him. Leon sighed and, with a shrug, responded, “I don't know; he's different from the others, that's for sure.”

Leon crossed his arms, seemingly replaying the conversation they had just had. “After what you've been through, I know it will be hard to put the same trust you have in me into him, but stay open-minded, okay?” Hunnigan gently grabbed his shoulder and smiled before walking away. “Oh, and Leon?” she turned to him; he met her eyes. “Be careful, okay? I don't want you doing anything reckless.” Leon waved her off. “With Chris around, I doubt I will act too recklessly; then again, he is reckless himself,” Leon smirked. Hunnigan sighed and walked off, most likely heading to her desk where she oversees Leon while he's working.

Leon was finally alone; he stepped outside and called Chris’s cellphone. “Hello?” Chris answered immediately. “What the hell, Chris? You should have mentioned you were joining me on this mission,” Leon grumbled. “Well, it's not my fault, and you know I would have if I had known. This was a last-minute decision forced on me; they decided that since I've worked with you before, it would be best to pair us together.” Marvin didn't mention that, but he didn't seem to know about Chris and Leon’s history. “Right, well, there's no point in being upset about it now since the mission is already underway. Are you sure you're up for this?” Leon asked, his tone softening. “I mean, you’re still grieving Piers…”

Chris let out a sigh. “C’mon, Piers wouldn’t want me just sitting around feeling sorry for myself! Plus, I’ve been itching for some action, not just the action I’m getting at home with you.” Leon could almost picture the wink Chris would flash at him. “Hey, keep it in your pants while we’re on this mission!” Leon joked, quietly chuckling. “Yeah, yeah, I know! I’ll see you in five, okay?” Chris replied with a grin. “Okay!” Leon responded, a slight smile on his face, before he hung up the call.

Leon wants to believe Chris when he says everything is fine and that Piers's absence doesn't bother him anymore. However, Leon knows deep down that Chris is struggling with the loss. Chris opened up to Leon. Before Piers found Chris and forced him back into the B.S.A.A., Chris had been missing for six months in Eastern Europe, drowning his misery in alcohol. During that time, Chris suffered from memory loss and severe depression. Piers was aggressive toward Chris; piers was hurt that Chris couldnt even remember Jeff, Keaton, Marco, Reid, and the other men on his team who sacrificed their lives for him and the B.S.A.A.

The hostility from Piers and the weight of the world suddenly resting on his shoulders caused Chris and Piers to butt heads constantly. It was hard for them to get along, but it didn't help that Chris was just as aggressive toward Piers. After they “succeeded” in stopping Carla “permanently” (who was pretending to be Ada, though at the time Chris and Piers didn't know this), they grew closer as friends and as a team; Chris grew fond of Piers, and Piers grew fond of Chris. However, their bond was cut short while trying to save Jake and Sherry; piers sacrificed himself to save Chris. Piers was severely injured, and Chris was on the verge of being crushed to death by the biggest B.O.W. he had ever fought. Piers injected himself with an enhanced version of the C-virus, ultimately saving Chris. However, Piers quickly loses control of himself and decides that Chris should be the one to live on and protect the innocent from people like Carla and Simmons.

Chris has constant night terrors from his past. Still, after piers died, his night terrors mainly consisted of those last few moments with piers… so Leon was worried, worried something might trigger Chris on this mission, worried he would lose Chris… “It's too late now,” Leon mumbled to himself. Marvin can't send Chris back to the B.S.A.A. when all the arrangements have already been made and are currently proceeding. Leon tried to shake off his fears and stress, deciding he'd been standing around lost in thought for long enough.

Chris should arrive within a minute, so Leon needed to hurry and reach the helicopter before he got reprimanded for being late. Leon arrived just as Chris’s helicopter touched down to drop him off. “Hey,” Chris greeted him with a warm smile. “You act like we haven't seen each other in ages, as if I didn't kiss you goodbye this morning,” Leon chuckled. “Maybe I just missed you,” he flirted with a sly smirk. “Hmm, is that so?” Leon smirked back. “Hey! We need to move,” the pilot reminded them through their earpieces connected on the same frequency as their radios.

“Looks like we'll have to continue this later,” Chris sighed with a pout only Leon would recognize. Chris’s expression might seem frustrated to others, but Leon could tell the difference. Leon turned off his earpiece so that what he said would remain private. “Remember I said to keep it in your pants; once we're back home, we can have some fun- if you don't get hurt,” Leon winked. This seemed to cheer Chris up as he quickly headed up the tarmac into the helicopter, strapping in. Leon followed behind, sitting next to Chris as the aircraft took off.
