Forest Walk
subby stepbro!Leon S. Kennedy c fem!reader - SFW
warnings: stepcest, fluff, short and sweet, kissing
not proofread ✌️
The crunch of brown leaves underfoot lends itself to nostalgia, making your chest ache with that feeling of misplacement.
“It’s quiet out here,” Leon murmurs beside you.
“Yeah, it’s nice,” you shoot a small smile over to him before looking back toward the trail.
The sunlight left an hour ago, disappearing behind a bank of clouds, making the woods seem more dense. As the path winds down close to the riverbank, wisps of fog hover over the ground.
Grabbing your hand, Leon links your fingers together, “We should do this more often.”
You bump against his side, catching a whiff of smoky cologne. Snuggling up closer to him, Leon wraps an arm around your shoulder, slowing your walk down considerably but calming that restless sadness in your chest.
“You good?” he drops a kiss to the side of your temple.
“I’m feeling better,” you tilt your head up, making a kissy face.
Laughing softly, he ducks his head to softly kiss your mouth before pulling away with a sigh.
The breeze picks up as you cross a worn wooden bridge, scored with knife marks of couple’s initials over the years. Standing on the planks, you lean forward over the railing, watching as the water eddies.
Leon wraps his arms around you, dropping kisses to your exposed neck and jaw making you giggle. Resting his head on your shoulder, he hums against your ear.
“Should probably get a move on before it gets too dark.”
You nod and let Leon pull you away from the railing. Wrapping his arm around you, you sink into the warmth he exudes, letting him lead you both back onto the nature trail.

Танцующий лес в Калининграде. Dancing forest in Kaliningrad.
На Куршской косе можно увидеть хвойный лес, стволы которого петляют причудливыми зигзагами. Этот лес здесь прозвали «танцующим». Он расположен на 37-й км косы, в 4-х км севернее поселка Рыбачий и имеет общую протяженность - 1,2 км.
Загадочным танцующий лес был всегда. Со времён основания в 1961 году о причудливой достопримечательности было сложено множество легенд. Кто-то считает, что изогнутые деревья – это силуэты молодых ведьм, внезапно застывших на века во время магического танца. Другая версия гласит что давным-давно князь Бартий влюбился в прекрасную девушку Прединию. Он предложил ей выйти за него замуж, но преградой для влюбленных стала их вера. Князь был язычником, а Прединия христианкой. Бартий согласился принять новую веру, если красавица сможет доказать величие её Бога. Девушка начала играть на арфе. Деревья затанцевали, в один миг остановившись. В таком положении они замерли на века. Спустя годы изогнутые деревья появились на поляне.
Учёные, беспристрастны и в магию не верят, но также пытаются найти объяснение таинственному явлению. По их мнению, причиной искривления могла стать подвижность песков, резкие смены направлений ветра, перепады температур или нашествие гусениц бабочек побеговьюна зимующего, которые повреждают молодые побеги сосен.
On the Curonian Spit you can see a coniferous forest, the trunks of which wind in bizarre zigzags. This forest is called “dancing” here. It is located on the 37th km of the spit, 4 km north of the village of Rybachy and has a total length of 1.2 km. The dancing forest has always been mysterious. Since its foundation in 1961, many legends have been created about the bizarre attraction. Some believe that the curved trees are the silhouettes of young witches, suddenly frozen for centuries during a magical dance. Another version says that a long time ago, Prince Barty fell in love with the beautiful girl Predinia. He asked her to marry him, but their faith became an obstacle for the lovers. The prince was a pagan, and Predinia was a Christian. Bartius agreed to accept the new faith if the beauty could prove the greatness of her God. The girl began to play the harp. The trees danced, stopping in an instant. They froze in this position for centuries. Years later, curved trees appeared in the clearing.
Scientists are impartial and do not believe in magic, but they are also trying to find an explanation for the mysterious phenomenon. In their opinion, the cause of the curvature could be the mobility of sands, sharp changes in wind directions, temperature changes, or the invasion of wintering shoot moth caterpillars, which damage young shoots of pine trees.
