A Life of Regret

Chris groaned as the sunlight hit his eyes, he hated Mondays. He pulled the covers over his head, but it was no use as his sister chose that exact moment to bang on his door.

"Wakey, wakey come on mom's making breakfast already!" Claire yelled through the wood.

"Ugh Claire, please, five more minutes," Chris called back.

"Suit yourself, more pancakes for me," Chris listened as she skipped away.

"Fuck!" he whispered as he tried to snuggle back down into his covers. He squeezed his eyes shut but he knew that he wasn't going to get back to sleep. "Stupid sister," he grumbled as he got up, he stumbled to his en suite bathroom and looked in the mirror. "Looking good Redfield, real good," he told himself as he ran his fingers through his fringe, it flopped into his eyes. He went about his business getting himself ready for the day when he went through several outfits before nodding at his reflection and running down the stairs.

"There you are Chris, we were beginning to think you wouldn't grace us with your presence," Mrs. Redfield smiled at her son.

"What an miss out on seeing your smile first thing in the morning, never?" he grinned as she hit his arm playfully before ushering him to sit down.

"Why do you insist on dressing like that?" she asked as she served him up some pancakes. Chris looked down at his baggy jeans that hung low on his skinny hips, his tight boxers that peeked up over the waistband, the random band tee that was covered with a plaid shirt.

"It makes me look good?" he shrugged. Mrs. Redfield shook her head again.

"Whatever your boyfriend is here," Claire teased as she watched Chris's friend Leon Kennedy walking to the door. Chris smirked; "Jealous much?" Claire's cheeks flamed as she shook her head.

"No, I don't even like his like that," she said flustered as she checked the contents of her backpack.

"Sure, whatever, hey man," he waved at Leon as he entered the room they high-fived he sat down.

"Dude, what smells so good?" he pushed his fringe out of his eyes "Mrs Redfield is it me or does your cooking just keep getting better?" he groaned as she piled up his plate.

"Well you need feeding up, look at you all skin and bone," she tutted as he tucked in, she went back to the stove muttering something about 'kids today'.

"Claire may I say how radiant you look today?" Leon winked at her. Claire blushed again and looked down.

"Dude just marry her and then you can stay here all the time," Chris laughed as Claire glared at him. Leon pretended to ponder this before nodding.

"Yeah, done deal, Claire will you marry me and make me and your brother the happiest guys around?" he laughed, Chris wrinkled his nose.

"Don't say it like that, that makes us sound wicked gay!" Leon ran a finger under Chris's chin and pouted at him.

"Don't deny our love," he grinned as Chris slapped his hand away.

"Eff you, we have to go or else we'll be late," he stood up; Leon and Claire followed suit.

"Have a good day my darlings," Mrs Redfield waved as they left.

"Now Claire, if those girls give you shit again, just let me know ok?" Chris put a hand on his sister's shoulder. She nodded.

"Yeah, cause you're so tough," she mocked "Anyway gotta go see you, urm bye Leon," she waved shyly at the taller boy.

"Until we meet again fair Claire," he waved took her hand and kissed it dramatically. Claire pulled it away and practically ran off, her face flushed.

"Dude, you know she's in love with you right?" Chris asked as they reached their lockers. Leon flipped his bangs from his eyes.

"No way, she just thinks, she does, plus it'll never happen wouldn't wanna mess up the bromance," he shoved Chris playfully. Chris flipped him off.

"Don't call it...Whoa," Chris nudged Leon and pointed "Who the fuck is that?" Leon shook his head as he took in the view of two girls coming towards them. One was tall, blonde and had the biggest boobs the boys had ever seen. The other a brunette with the shortest skirt the boys had ever seen.

"Hey there, we're looking for the chem lab, could you help us?" she said as she approached them. Leon's gaze dropped. Chris cleared his throat.

"Sure, just down there to the left, in fact,"

"Redfield and his fuck buddy were just going, I'll show you the way, ladies," another voice interjected. The girls turned the look at the tall blonde who had appeared with a group of his lackeys in tow.

"Well, I'm sure you'd know about butt sex Wesker, being that you made sure you were on the football squad and I'm sure it's only for the 'sport'," Chris made air quotes.

"Yeah, while you're on the field getting your ass handed to you, we're on the bleachers checking out the cheerleaders," Leon smirked as Wesker's teammates exchanged looks, not sure if they had just been insulted or not. The blonde turned his attention to the blonde girl; lowering his shade he dazzled her with a smile.

"Name's Wesker," he took her hand and kissed it gently. The girl smiled politely.

"Jessica, this is Rebecca," the blonde replied.

"Might I say that you two are very beautiful?" Wesker laid on the charm. Jessica giggled and stepped forward.

"You may, and you were going to escort us to the lab?" she brushed her breasts lightly against Wesker's arm. He grinned as he slid between the two girls, wrapped an arm around each of their waists and led them away. Chris and Leon watched them go.

"Son of a bitch!" Chris hit his locker, instantly regretting it as the pain shot through him. Leon patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry I know a girl who would fuck you in an instant," he grinned. Chris shook his head.

"Please don't say it again man,"

"But she would and you know she would, if you wanted," they began to walk to class.

"But it's so weird, she's Claire's best friend, god only knows what they say to each other when she sleeps over,"

"She could sleep over with you?" Leon laughed as Chris shuddered.

"Do you think Leon likes me or do you think that he's just teasing me?" Claire asked as she picked up a salad and placed it on her tray.

"Well he is a douche, I mean that hair?"

"I like his hair," Claire looked down.

"Oh honey, you really have it bad don't you?"

"I do, I really do, what am I gonna do Jill...Jill?" Claire looked to see that her brother and said friend had just walked into the cafeteria "Really, my brother? Why?" she asked.

"Really? Look at him, he's just so, sexy," Jill stared as he made his way to a table, high fiving his friends. Claire wrinkled her nose and turned away.

"Eww, not listening," Jill laughed.

"Sorry, anyway you were saying?" Jill tried not to look at Chris; it only made her sad to think that he never even saw her.

"Oh nothing it doesn't matter, wow who are the sluts?" Claire gestured to where Wesker and the football jocks are sitting.

"I have no idea but that skirt is well my eyes are scarred for life now," Jill shuddered. Claire laughed as they made their way to the cash register.

"Hey thanks for lunch sis," Chris grabs a sandwich off her tray.

"Wow, however did I know that you would forget to bring money or food?" Claire jokes.

"Anything on there for me Claire?" Leon asked as he leans forward over Chris's shoulder. Claire shakes her head.

"No, b...but I can get you something, i...if you like?" she stammers.

"Fuck no this cheap ass can buy his own food," Chris salutes Claire with the sandwich and the two boys leave.

"Why can't I have food?" Leon asks.

"Get your own sister and you can," Chris jokes.

"Hey hotties at three o clock," Leon nods.

"Hey so, I'm having a party this weekend, you in?" Jessica asked, leaning over the table giving Leon and Chris an ample view of her breasts.

"Hell yes," Chris whispers, Leon kicked him under the table, "Urh I mean sure yeah that'd be great," he forced himself to make eye contact with her.

"Great, this is the address," she hands them a card each "See you Saturday," flipping her hair over her shoulder she flounced away leaving the boys with a faint strawberry scent.

"Dude, did we just get invited to a sexy party?" Chris asked still staring after Jessica.

"I think so, yeah," Leon nods looking after her too.
