Hey, I just saw your post about requests. Could you write about Krauser and for a word maybe flowers
Here you go, dear anon. First time writing for Krauser, so I hope he's not too ooc in this. Have fun reading. <3
notes: established relationship, it's reader's birthday
Tumblr media
Jack Krauser + “flowers”
It’s not even 8 am when your doorbell rings, a high and annoying sound that disrupts your usual Sunday morning routine of lounging around in bed as long as possible, mindlessly scrolling through social media or getting lost in a book you picked up recently. You look up from your phone, contemplating to ignore the early visitor but the next moment, the doorbell rings again, and you realize that it’s probably in vain not to react. Whoever is standing in front of your door right now seems to be very eager to see you now.
With a groan, you toss the blanket aside and put on a pair of fluffy socks before you make your way to the door. “On my way,” you call out. After a couple of seconds of fumbling with your keys to unlock the door, you open it – and are greeted by a rather unusual sight: Jack Krauser in civilian clothing and with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. 
“Uhm… morning?” you say, not really sure how to react to the surprise visit. Sure, you had planned to meet up later today and maybe grab a drink or something to celebrate your birthday but you haven’t expected him to stop by this early.
“Happy Birthday,” he replies stiffly and hands you the flowers. They’re beautifully arranged, with just the right amount of greenery that makes the colors of the petals pop. 
“Uh…” Your expression is one of utter disbelief as you try to comprehend what’s going on. Not once in your relationship have you received flowers from him. So, a little dumbfounded, you look at the bouquet in your hands and then back at the Major. “You got me flowers for my birthday?” 
“Yeah, I got you flowers. Don’t make a big deal out of this now,” Krauser warns you but the moment you start to beam at him, he knows that you will make a big deal out of this. And maybe rightfully so. He’s not the type for romantic gestures like that, heck, he despises getting all sappy, but at the same time, it gives him an odd feeling of satisfaction to see you so happy. 
When you throw your arms around his neck, he wraps his arm around your lower back and gently squeezes you against him. A hint of a smile flashes over his face. Maybe he should consider gifting you flowers more often because nothing will ever compare to the way your eyes lit up in joy today.

For the little word requests, could I get Chris + baking? thank uuu 💖💖💖
Thanks for the request! Hope you like the way I interpreted the prompt. Have fun reading. <3
notes: established relationship
Tumblr media
Chris Redfield + “baking“
“Okay, but I don’t get why I can’t just buy a cake,” Chris says with an exasperated sigh as he takes in the mess in front of him. He’s pretty sure he’s to blame for the majority of it – and for the fact that his and your clothes are covered in flour because he accidentally has knocked the container over a short whil eago. “I mean, it’s really not necessary to destroy our kitchen just to-“
“First of all,” you interrupt him, “we’re not destroying our kitchen. It’s just a bit of flour, it’ll be cleaned up in a matter of minutes. And secondly, this is your sister we’re talking about. Don’t you want to do something special for her birthday?”
Chris grimaces. Of course he wants to surprise Claire with something nice but he doubts she’d be happy about a cake that looks like a kid was responsible for it. Needless to say that you, his beloved partner in crime, had an entirely different opinion about the whole matter. “You can’t just give your sister a store-bought cake,” you told him, acting almost shocked at his suggestion, before you dragged him into the kitchen where you gathered the ingredients for the – in your opinion – perfect birthday cake. And that’s how the BSAA agent ended up in the kitchen in an almost desperate attempt to follow the Instagram recipe you have shown him on your phone. 
He snaps out of his thoughts when you gently nudge him with your elbow and grin. “Hey, stop sulking,” you tease him, “it’s actually kind of adorable that you have no idea what you’re doing.”
“I’m not adorable,” he protests but all that earns him is a soft laugh from you and a peck on his cheek. “Yes, you are. Very much so, actually.”
Chris rolls his eyes but the smile that flashes over his face betrays his feigned annoyance. He can’t even pretend to be bugged by your playful antics, and before you even have time to comprehend what’s happening, he has placed his hands on your waist and pulls you in for a proper kiss. 
“Stop distracting me,” you laugh when you pull away and gently flick his nose. “We don’t have the ingredients for a second attempt if we burn that cake.”
Chris winks at you. “I told you to just buy one,” he says and kisses you again.

💙 coworkers to lovers with leon??? ☺️
Thank you for your request, dear anon, and my apologies for the long wait. I hope you enjoy it nevertheless. :)
prompt: 💙 coworkers to lovers
Tumblr media
Leon Kennedy x gn!reader – coworkers to lovers (HCs)
Given the line of work Leon is in, he spends a lot of time with his coworkers. He might not be the most social person after everything that’s happened to him but he still makes an effort to actually remember their faces and names because he just spends so much time around them. That being said, he wouldn’t exactly consider them his friends – and he definitely can’t see himself getting closer to any of them.
However, his whole attitude about this changes the moment you join the team. There’s just something about you that draws Leon in, no matter how much he tries to fight it. And he really tries to fight it because you’re in the same team and it’s heavily frowned upon to get involved with each other under these circumstances. So, no matter how much he likes you or how interesting you are, Leon will most likely push you away at first.
He also tries to convince himself that working together with you is more than enough for him because, at least, that means you can spend some time with each other. However, it doesn’t really help with the growing attraction between the two of you, and he considers asking the higher ups to transfer you to a different team, just to get some peace of mind, but then he’d have to explain why he’s asking for the transfer and that would make things even more complicated. So, he just sucks it up and hopes that what he’s feelings for you is just a stupid crush that will go away soon.
It doesn’t go away, though, and Leon finds himself more and more drawn to you as the time goes by. He also starts to be less reserved around you and actually strikes up conversations with you and laughs at your jokes and teasing remarks. He feels oddly at peace around you, like nothing else matters when you’re there – a feeling he’s been craving for quite a while now if he’s being honest with himself. 
The more you grow on him, the more Leon wants to be around you. He finds excuses to stay at the office longer, like a report he needs to finish (though it’s already been handed in), just to spend more time with you. Sometimes, when he notices that you’re once again working without taking a proper break, he brings you tea or coffee to cheer you up a little. It’s also quite obvious to your other coworkers that Leon likes you, based on the little things he does for you and the way his gaze lingers on you when you pass him by.  
Better be prepared for the infamous invitation to dinner sooner or later. As much as Leon is self-confident and stern during missions, he’s an awkward mess when it comes to casual interactions, even more so when it comes to you. Of course, he tries to play it cool but it’s quite obvious how nervous he is about asking you out. (Every time he thinks back to this moment he can’t help but wonder how he got you to say Yes. It’s beyond him why you agreed to go out with him.)

🧡 childhood best friends to lovers with Luis Serra??
Hello dear! Sorry for the long wait, I hope you're still interested in this. Have fun reading. <3
prompt: 🧡 childhood best friends to lovers
notes: a bit AUish
Tumblr media
Luis Serra x reader – childhood best friends to lovers (HCs)
Luis and you grew up in the same neighborhood and both of you actually were a bit reluctant to hang out with each other at first – until Luis, who was a pretty outgoing kid, showed up at your house and invited you to come and play with him. From that day on, you two were inseparable. Of course, kid Luis also told everyone he’d be marrying you when you’re older.
You remained close friends through your entire school years, even when you two started hanging out with others. Whenever you didn’t have a date for any official school dances, you’d go together (as friends, of course – both of you never got tired of pointing that out) and just spend a nice evening. You also frequently tried to set each other up with other people, only to realize that it sucked to seeing each other with someone else. (However, neither of you would ever admit that you had a crush on each other in highschool.)
Even as adults, you’re still very close to each other. Luis is your best friend and you are his, and he trusts you more than anyone else on this earth. He appreciates that you stuck with him through the good and the bad times, never judging him for mistakes he made in the past (like working for Umbrella, for example). You’re one of the few people he actually likes to be around because he feels like he can just be himself with you.
Definitely called you some Spanish terms of endearment throughout your entire friendship. In the beginning, he only did it to mess with you but it soon became a habit Luis never dropped. He actually uses those terms more often than your real name which often led to people believing you were a couple – even when you weren’t.
It takes Luis quite a lot of time to figure out that his feelings for you have changed because he’s always been in love with you, so he doesn’t realize immediately that the platonic love he felt for you has turned into something more romantic. But the way his hearts start to beat faster whenever you smile at him really makes him question his feelings for you. What really sealed the deal for him was seeing you flirting and laughing with someone else, though. Like, Luis isn’t an overly jealous person in general but in that moment, he just wanted to drag you away from them and tell you to flirt with him instead.
Though Luis is usually pretty self-confident and knows how to get what he wants, his love confession to you is unexpectedly awkward. He can’t find the proper words to express his feelings – something he’s really embarrassed about – and in the end, he probably just blurts out that he loves you. It’s not how he imagined it to go but it’s the best he can muster in that moment. But the awkwardness of the whole situation is quickly forgotten when you tell him that you return his feelings (or just kiss him, that’ll do too). He honestly never expected you two to be more than friends but he obviously doesn’t mind it one bit. You’re his best friend and his soulmate, as sappy as it sounds.
Also, the majority of your friends isn’t surprised at all when you and Luis announce that you’re officially dating now. Like, to them, it has always been obvious that the two of you harbored some deeper feelings for each other, and they all just waited for the day you two would realize that too.

Can you write some fluff headcanons for Chris Redfield?
Hello dear! Sorry for the long wait, I hope you enjoy the headcanons. <3
Tumblr media
Chris Redfield x gn!reader – random fluffy HCs
Chris is one of the sweetest guys on earth in a relationship. He’s completely devoted to you and never misses an opportunity to prove just how much you mean to him. Also, lots of compliments because Chris just can’t resist telling you how gorgeous and amazing you are – and they’re not just shallow words to butter you up. He genuinely means every single one.
Cuddles. So many cuddles. People who don’t know him surely wouldn’t believe how much this man loves to cuddle you but to him, it’s just the best feeling ever to hold you close to him and indulge in your presence. He prefers to hold you but sometimes, when he’s having a bad day or just needs some reassurance, he likes to rest his head on your chest and feel your arms around him. He can’t exactly explain it but there’s something really soothing about your hugs in moments like this. 
He also doesn’t mind PDA. If you want to hold his hand in public, sure, no problem. If you want to kiss him, hell yeah, he’s not going to complain. However, he’d never initiate any kind of affection in public if you’re uncomfortable with it. He wants you to feel safe in this relationship, so he would never overstep any boundaries you set. 
He has seen his fair share of bullshit and monsters and knows how dangerous the world can be, so it’s probably not a surprise that he can be quite protective. He’s also the type of guy to say “Text me when you’re home safe”, simply because he wants to make sure that you’re okay. You’re one of the most important people in his life, after all. Also, he always sends you “Good morning” and “Good night” texts when you’re apart. 
Chris isn’t generally opposed to the thought of getting married. However, he’d only ever consider it if it’s something you want too because he values and respects your opinion and would never force you into something you don’t want or that makes you uncomfortable. Your happiness is his top priority, no ifs, no buts.

Heya! Can you perhaps write some general relationship headcanons for leon, luis and krauser?
Hey there! Thank you for your request, I had a lot of fun working on this one. :) Hope you enjoy!
Characters: Leon Kennedy, Luis Serra, Jack Krauser
Notes: not proofread, might be slighty ooc
Tumblr media
General relationship HCs (gn!reader)
Leon S. Kennedy
Leon is unfortunately quite used to losing people close to him, so he’s incredibly hesitant to actually start a relationship with you. He can’t help but be convinced that he’s going to lose you too sooner or later, be it because something happens to you or because you realize that he’s not what you want or need and decide to leave him – hence why he probably tries to push you away at first. 
However, once you manage to get him, Leon is yours forever. He’s a loyal and loving partner and will do everything in his power to make you happy, especially since he’s well aware that being in a relationship with him isn’t always easy. It honestly never ceases to amaze him that you’re willing to put up with all of this – the traumatic stuff he went through in the past, the fact that he’s not allowed to talk about anything regarding his work and that he sometimes has to leave for weeks without being able to tell you where he’s going – and he really appreciates that you’re still by his side.
Especially in the beginning of your relationship, Leon struggled with letting his guard down. Like I said, he has gone through so much and feels like he can’t deal with losing another person he cares about, so he has been really cautious and hesitant at first. But as the time passed and the two of you got closer, Leon found himself realizing that he can’t imagine his life without you in it. The fear of losing you will never leave him completely but he became more confident about your relationship over time and now, you’re one of the few people he trusts completely.
He’s not one to get jealous easily since he trusts you and knows that you would never betray him like that. But he still hates when others are clearly trying to flirt with you, especially if you’re obviously uncomfortable with the whole situation. It makes his blood boil when someone is unable to respect your boundaries, and in moments like that, he definitely won’t hesitate to step in.
Loves to cuddle with you. There’s just something so soothing and calming about your presence and whenever he feels the urge to just shut the entire world out, he just pulls you close and buries his face in the crook of your neck. 
Tumblr media
Luis Serra
Better be prepared for lots of teasing and flirting because Luis likes to see you all flustered. Even before you got together, he never missed an opportunity to flirt with you, mainly to catch your interest, but also because he enjoyed figuring out which kind of comments and compliments make you blush. Also, lots of pet names, both before and after you started dating, though they became sweeter and more loving once you got together. 
People who don’t know him might assume that he’s incapable of being in a relationship since they only see his flirtatious and charming nature, but Luis is actually very faithful and would never betray you in any way. He often jokes that he has no reason to flirt with someone else because he’s already got the main prize by his side. He loves and adores you with every fiber of his being, and he’s 100 percent sure that there’s no one out there who could make him feel more loved than you do.
You wouldn’t expect it but Luis actually turns into a blushing and flustered mess whenever you compliment him. Your words are always so genuine that it makes him melt on the spot, although he really tries his best to hide it because he feels like he has a reputation to lose and therefore doesn’t want to embarrass himself, not even in front of you. However, you know him well enough to still see the effect your words have on him. 
So. Many. Kisses. Luis uses every opportunity to press his lips to yours, your forehead or your cheeks. He’s someone who doesn’t mind PDA in general but if you’re uncomfortable with it, he accepts and respects that too because he’d never ignore any boundaries you set.
Luis also loves to surprise you, be it with small gifts like your favorite flowers or date nights. To be honest, he just likes to show you off because to him, you’re absolutely perfect and he wants everyone to see how adorable and beautiful his partner is. 
Tumblr media
Jack Krauser
Krauser definitely isn’t someone to fall head over heels in love with someone or to dive head first into a relationship. It’s pretty hard to earn his respect and his trust, and on top of that, a part of him will always see loving someone as some kind of weakness. He’s also so used to being alone that he’s convinced he doesn’t need anyone else. So, you probably need a lot of patience, especially in the beginning of your relationship. 
It’s pretty important that you don’t ask too many questions about his job or his past. Krauser is a man with many secrets, and he most likely won’t ever feel comfortable enough to share any of this with you, so it’s best to just accept that he doesn’t want to talk about it. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you but to him, it’s a fact that it’s best if you don’t know anything about these things – especially since it’s already risky to be in a relationship with him in the first place. (And though he might never admit it, he’d hate himself for letting anything happen to you.)
With that being said, there’s nothing Krauser wouldn’t do to keep you safe and sound. He knows first-hand how shitty the world can be, and should someone dare to lay a hand on you, he won’t hesitate to make them pay for it. Though he often acts like he doesn’t care about anyone else but himself, he fiercely protects those who are important to him, no ifs, no buts – and if it means that he has to put his own life at risk in the process, then so be it. I think he’d also offer to teach you some basic self-defense, just in case that you ever find yourself in a situation where these skills might come in handy. 
He never lets his guard down completely, not even around you, and he’s not easy to love. However, that doesn’t mean he’s a bad partner or that he doesn’t care about you. Since he’s not overly affectionate (as in, he rarely initiates kisses or cuddles himself), he finds other ways to show how important you are to him, for example by making sure that you drink enough water or take your meds etc. He pays close attention to everything you do and therefore notices even the slightest changes in your behavior, so he immediately knows when something’s bothering you. And though Krauser is not be the best at comforting people, he still tries to cheer you up because he doesn’t like to see you all sad and gloomy.

amethyst and jasper with reader and leon for the crystal prompts?🥺
Perfect combination of prompts, thank you so much for requesting these, dear anon! Hope you enjoy. <3
Prompts: amethyst (“hey, hey, just breathe. i've got you now, it's okay.”) + jasper ( “just look at me, right here. you're okay, you're safe, i'm right here with you.”)
(established relationship, set sometime between RE2 and RE4, reader is a survivor of Raccoon City)
Tumblr media
I swear you will find peace again – Leon Kennedy x gn!reader
Leon wakes up in the middle of the night. It’s not an unusual thing, per se, he’s a pretty light sleeper, and in some nights, even the sound of a passing car is enough to disturb his sleep. But this time, it’s not a car or the gleeful screams and laughter of some teenagers on their way home after getting drunk in the nearby park. No, this time it’s a much softer noise that breaks the silence of your shared bedroom, something he can’t quite identify in this half-awake state, and he sits up, bleary blue eyes scanning the room. The noise seems to come from the other side of the bed – and suddenly, Leon is wide awake. 
Even in the darkness, he can make out your form, huddled at the edge of the bed, clutching your pillow to your chest as you press your hand to your mouth to stifle your sobs. Leon’s heart sinks. He knows exactly that there’s only one thing that could have shaken you to the core like that.
The nightmares are back.
Careful not to startle you, Leon quietly says, “(Y/N)? Baby?”
You don’t reply or react in any other way. There’s no indication at all that you heard him – it’s like you’re trapped in your own mind, your own fear. Leon knows that feeling all too well. Even now, years after the incident in Raccoon City, the memories haunt him in his sleep, and every time, it takes him a while to fight his way back to reality after waking up. And although the dreams have gotten rarer over the past few years, he knows that they will never disappear completely – and it’s the same for you. This situation right here is enough proof. 
He wishes he could just reach out for you and pull you into his arms to show you that you’re not alone, that he’s right here by your side and that you’re safe – but he doesn’t dare to touch you, not without your consent and not as long as you’re still panicking.
“Sweetheart,” Leon tries again, his voice low and soft, “do you hear me?”
He hears you sniffle, and now that his eyes are slowly getting used to the darkness that surrounds both of you, he can see how you clutch the pillow tighter before you let out a shaky breath and reply, “Yeah.”
A wave of relief washes over him. You’re back. “Okay,” he says, “that’s good.”
“Yeah.” You hesitate for a second. “Can you… turn on the light? Please?”
“Sure thing.” It takes him a moment to find the switch of the bedside table lamp but soon enough, the dim light illuminates your bedroom, banishing the darkness and the memories of that dreadful night that had destroyed so many lives back then. 
You take a deep breath, and Leon immediately brings his attention back to you. With puffy, red-rimmed eyes, you look back at him, your lower lip quivering as you try to fight back the tears. “Leon,” you whisper, nothing more, and his heart shatters into a million pieces. You have never sounded so lost. “What can I do, sweetheart?”, he asks, brows furrowed in concern. He hates feeling so helpless and that he can’t protect you from the horrible things your subconsciousness decided to show you tonight.
Instead of answering, you shuffle closer to him and throw your arms around his shoulders before you bury your face in the crook of his neck. Leon pulls you into his lap. “Oh, baby,” he mumbles, softly caressing your back in a comforting manner as you quietly start crying again, “shh. Whatever happened in your dream, it’s not real. It can’t hurt you.”
“I was back there,” you whisper, your voice strained and shaky, “in… in Raccoon City. I – I heard the screams and the roars of the infected and-“ Your breathing gets faster, more irregular, and more tears find their way down your cheeks. “The – the people-“
“Hey, hey, just breathe,” he interrupts you, softly. “I’ve got you now. It’s okay.” 
It’s okay, he repeats in his mind and closes his eyes, exhaling deeply. Your words bring back memories he wishes he could finally forget. But no matter how much time passes, how much you both try to, he knows neither of you will ever be able to leave the horrors of Raccoon City behind, as devastating and upsetting as that is. All you can do is try to move on and not dwell on the past too much. Easier said than done, he’s well aware of that, but at least, you don’t have to go through all of this alone. 
You let out a shaky breath. “I hate these dreams,” you admit, “they always feel so… real. Like I’m physically back, not just mentally. But when they attack me – I… I can never run. All I can do is wait for them to kill me. I…” 
“Baby, hey. Just look at me, right here.” Leon slightly pulls away from your hug, so that you’re forced to raise your head from his shoulder, and cups your face with both hands. “You’re okay,” he says, locking his gaze with yours, “you’re safe. I’m right here with you.”
He presses a soft kiss to your forehead and then another one to the tip of your nose and finally your lips. “I know these dreams are scary as hell… but I swear you’ll find peace again. One day, everything that happened back then will stop haunting you.”
A barely noticeable smile flashes over your face. Without Leon by your side, you would’ve gone insane after escaping Raccoon City, you’re sure. Even in the darkest nights, he’s a guiding light, leading you back to safety. “I hope you’re right.”
He nuzzles your nose. “Of course I am.”

Hi! And welcome. :3 I have a request for you - can I ask for a fic where reader takes care of Leon when he's sick? Fluffy pls. :3 Thank you!
Hey there! Thank you so much for your request, I love writing stuff like this, though I have to say I'm a bit nervous about sharing my first RE fic. Hope you enjoy! <3
(established relationship, post RE4)
Tumblr media
Baby, it'll be alright - Leon Kennedy x gn!reader (fluff)
When you come home, you’re surprised to find Leon curled up on the couch, fast asleep and buried beneath one, no, two blankets. There’s a half empty cup on the coffee table in front of him – chamomile, if you’re not mistaken. And as far as you know, Leon hates chamomile with a burning passion. He can’t even stand the smell of it. That, paired with the fact that he fell asleep in broad daylight, can only mean one thing: His health hasn’t gotten any better since you left the house this morning.
Well. At least, you’re prepared, you think to yourself as you set down the bags in your arms, careful not to make any noise because you don’t want to disturb Leon’s slumber. He has barely gotten any sleep last night, and you’re sure he must be absolutely exhausted.
As quietly as humanly possible, you start to unpack the groceries. Aside from a few essentials like coffee and toast, you have also stocked up on lemons, tissues, cough drops and lemons. (You also bought a tub of ice cream, but that one’s for you – your reward for taking care of your sick boyfriend who can be as stubborn as a mule, especially when it comes to his health. Wouldn’t be the first time that he insisted he was fine when, in fact, he was still feeling like garbage.)
A quiet groan that sounds like it’s coming from beneath that pile of blankets on the couch snaps you out of your thoughts, and you turn around, your gaze meeting Leon’s. He looks terrible. The dark circles under his tired, red rimmed eyes are a sharp contrast to the pale, sallow tone of his skin, and when he speaks, his voice is hoarse and raspy. “You’re back.”
“Yeah.” You make your way over to him, crouching down in front of the couch before you place your hand on his forehead. Beneath your palm, his skin feels burning hot and freezing cold at the same time. He’s definitely running a fever. “Damn, Leon.”
“What kind of greeting is that, honey?”
“Shut up. You sound like you’ve been chain-smoking for at least ten years.” 
He suppresses a cough. “You really know how to make someone feel better.”
“Sorry.” You brush your hand through his hair. “How are you feeling?”
“Horrible.”
“My poor baby,” you say and lean in to press a kiss to his cheek. “Do you want some tea? Or a glass of water? I also bought lemons – people say hot lemonade works wonders when you have a cold. I could make you some.”
“As long as it’s not chamomile, I really don’t care.”
“Hot lemonade it is, then.” You get up. “And in the meantime, you should gather your stuff,” you motion to the blankets and the pillows that definitely come from your bedroom, “and go back to bed. I don’t understand why you haven’t stayed there in the first place.”
“Yeah, well-“ Leon interrupts himself when he falls into yet another fit of coughing, forcing him to sit up. “God damnit,” he mumbles, then. His head hurts like hell, like it’s going to explode any second, and with every cough and every sneeze, it just seems to get worse. 
You rub his back. “Go to bed,” you order him, softly. “I’ll bring you some meds. And painkillers. You look like you need them.”
He sniffles. “Yeah. Thanks.”
* * * *
“Ta-da,” you say as you carefully set down the tray that’s loaded with two cups (one filled with hot lemonade you hope you haven’t messed up, the other with water), a bowl of ice cream (you don’t have the heart to not share it with Leon when he’s feeling so bad) and the meds you bought on your way back home from work. 
Leon sits up, relief written all over his face when you hand him the painkillers. A moment later, before you can even reach out for the glass of water, he has already swallowed one of the tiny pills. Then, he lets himself fall back into the pillows. “Thanks.”
“You survived Raccoon City and getting infected with some ancient parasite. Who would’ve guessed that a simple cold is all it takes to knock the famous Leon Kennedy flat out?” you tease as you sit down on the edge of the bed and reach out to caress his face. He catches your hand and brings it to his lips, pressing a kiss to each knuckle before he sinks back into the pillows because the world around him has started spinning. And he’s pretty sure it is not supposed to do that. Not like this, at least.
This goddamn cold. He can’t even say what annoys him more – the constant coughing, the terrible headache or the fact that all he wants to do is sleep. And although he knows that you don’t mind taking care of him, he can’t help but feel like a burden right now. You probably have a million other things to do, and yet, here you are, keeping him company and trying your best to nurse him back to health. If only he could find the right words to tell you how much he appreciates your efforts.
“Try to get some rest,” you say, snapping him out of his thoughts. “Sleep is the best medicine, after all.”
Leon hums in response. Sleep truly sounds like a wonderful idea.
“Do you want me to leave?”
He shakes his head. “Come here,” he mumbles, “please. Unless,” a coughing fit interrupts him before he can finish his sentence, and he takes a deep breath before continuing, “unless you’re afraid to pick up a cold, too.”
You let out an indignant huff. “You’ll need more than a few germs to scare me away, Leon. You should know that by now,” you say as you lie down next to him and make yourself comfortable. With a content sigh, Leon snuggles up to you and drapes his arm over your stomach. You kiss the top of his head. “Want me to cuddle you to sleep?”
“Hm… yeah.” 
A smile flashes over your face. That’s exactly the answer you have expected, and so you wrap your arms around him, carefully burying one of your hands in his hair while the other one traces invisible patterns on his back. “Sweet dreams, Leon.”

Hello hello! 🤗
You can call me Raven and this is my brand new RE writing blog. I'm currently accepting requests, so if you want to send something in here are my guidelines and here's the link to my askbox.
Just note that updates might be a bit slow because I have a full time job and so don't always have as much time or energy to write as I would like.
But in any case, I'm looking forward to your requests! You're also more than welcome to send me some random asks or questions if you would like to know more about me.
