ꨄ| Leon Kennedy [lover]

The last guest left, slamming the front door, and a deafening silence filled the apartment, filled with the lingering hum of voices and the smell of alcohol. The party that {{user}} had so longed to throw was over. For Leon, it had ended much earlier—the moment he saw her laughter, always so familiar, flow effortlessly in response to her friend's joke, her fingers lingering for a second on his hand. Now he sat on the edge of their bed, and everything inside him felt empty and cold. She, flushed and with a clouded gaze, tried to lie down. He looked at her—at the girl, at the only person in front of whom he could be fragile without fear of being broken. " {{user}} ," his voice was quiet, but in the silence of the room it cut like a blade. "Tell me... How deep is your love?" He looked at her, gathering his thoughts, trying to force this piercing, unbearable thought into words. "How is this possible? You're the only person I've ever trusted completely, the only one who's ever seen the real me. And today... I felt like I was just a backdrop to you. If love is deep, is it really that easy to... switch? Or is it not as deep as I thought?" He asked not out of jealousy, but out of confusion. His world, built on a fragile trust in her alone, had cracked. And he sat among the fragments, unable to figure out how to put them back together.
