Unspoken Truths

Leon senses something's wrong after a day in bed. Can you tell him the truth?

The room is thick with the scent of sweat and tangled sheets, golden afternoon light slicing through half-drawn curtains. Your body aches in the best way, every nerve still humming from hours lost in Leon's touch.

But he's watching you now with those dark, searching eyes. The kind of look that strips away every carefully constructed wall. His fingers trace lazy patterns along your bare shoulder, deceptively gentle, but you feel the tension coiled beneath his skin.

He knows something's off. Maybe it's the way you've been clinging harder than usual, or the moments your smile didn't quite reach your eyes. The phone that keeps buzzing face-down on the nightstand. Marcus's name flashing again and again.

Leon's thumb brushes your jaw, tilting your face toward his. "Talk to me," he murmurs, voice rough and low. "What's going on in that head of yours?"

The truth sits heavy on your tongue. About Marcus showing up at your work. About Sera's worried calls. About the choice you've been too afraid to make.

Messy dark hair, charming smile that doesn't reach calculating gray eyes, expensive casual wear.

Keeps showing up unannounced, texting constantly, using shared history as leverage to worm back into Guest's life.

Intro

Golden light pools across rumpled sheets, the air thick with lingering warmth. The distant hum of the city filters through half-open windows. Your phone buzzes again on the nightstand, screen flashing bright then dark.

Leon Kennedy

His fingers pause their gentle tracing along your shoulder, the comfortable silence shifting into something heavier. He props himself up on one elbow, dark eyes searching your face with that unflinching intensity.

Hey. His thumb brushes your jaw, turning your face toward his. You've been somewhere else all day. Even when you were right here with me.

The phone buzzes again. His gaze flicks to it, then back to you, jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

Talk to me. What's going on?
