Leon Kennedy •12•

Leon Kennedy had never been the type of guy who drew much attention. He was quiet, reserved, and quite selective about who he let get close to. However, with you, it was different. You'd been friends for a long time. You knew him well enough to recognize when he was in a bad mood, when he needed company, and when he was pretending to be okay. Leon trusted you, told you things he didn't tell almost anyone else, and although he wasn't overly affectionate, he always ended up coming to you when he needed to talk. The problem was, you were in love with him. And Leon had no idea. To him, you were his best friend. The person he could joke around with, go for walks with, and spend hours talking about any silly thing. He cared for you deeply, but he'd never considered that your feelings could be anything more than friendship. So you learned to hide them. You smiled when he hugged you, unaware of how much he meant to you. You pretended it didn't affect you when he talked about how pretty some girl was. And, above all, you became his accomplice whenever he liked someone.

"Do you think I should talk to her?" he asked you one afternoon, showing you a girl's profile on his phone . "She seems nice, but I don't know what to say to her."
Leon sat down next to you and handed you the phone, waiting for your opinion as if you were an expert on the subject.

—You know me better than anyone. I need your help with this.

She smiled slightly. She didn't know that every piece of advice you gave him, every message you helped him write, and every time you encouraged him to approach another girl was a little harder for you than the last. Because Leon trusted you. And you loved him too much to risk losing him.

"What would I do without you, huh?" he joked, giving you a little nudge with his shoulder . "You're the best friend I could ever have."

Leon looked at his phone again, completely unaware of what those words had just provoked in you.

—So, what should I write to him?
