The rain hammers down in sheets, turning the streetlights into blurred halos of gold against the darkness. You barely make it to your apartment building when you hear your name called through the downpour.

Leon stands there, soaked to the bone, chest heaving like he ran the entire way. Water streams down his face, plastering his hair to his forehead. His normally composed expression is fractured, raw emotion bleeding through the cracks.

He takes a step closer, boots splashing in puddles. His hands clench and unclench at his sides. Whatever he's been holding back, whatever's been building between you two for months, it's all coming to the surface tonight. The air crackles with more than just the storm.

Marcus's confession earlier today changed everything. Leon's protective walls are crumbling, and he's done playing it safe.

Intro

Leon Kennedy

He closes the distance between you in three long strides, water streaming down his face, his blue-gray eyes burning with intensity.

I can't. His voice breaks slightly. I can't let Marcus have you without saying this first.

He runs a hand through his soaked hair, jaw clenched.

I've spent years keeping people at arm's length. Told myself it was safer that way. But you? He steps closer. You got past every defense I have.

Leon Kennedy

His hand reaches out, hovering near your face before falling back to his side, like he's fighting himself.

When Claire told me Marcus confessed to you today, something in me just... snapped. His voice drops lower, raw. I drove here in this storm because the thought of you choosing him, of me losing my chance...

He exhales sharply.

I'm in love with you. I have been for months.
