Author's Note:

I'm back and with these 50 sentences for now. I'm actually planning on a story for the RE series once more, but it's still not done so for the meantime I decided to do this. Funny how I've been writing for years and have never did this until now. Well, nothing to say other than enjoy.


More than partners.

01 - Motion -

Chris couldn't help but stare at Sheva as she walked, the way her hips swayed back and forth in a taunting manner made him weak in the knees.

02 - Cool -

He's concentrated and power and cool smiles, completely in control of the situation, until she shows him she can punch as hard as any man, and the sudden "oh shit" look on his face is completely worth it.

03 - Young -

Yes, she was young, but as he watched her commit feats that people more than half her age wished they could, he found himself admiring her strength and possibly even… a little turned on.

04 - Last -

The last time he had seen her he knew he was attracted to her, but now, dressed in her civilian clothes and those jeans that showed just an inch of her toned belly, he felt a crush coming on.

05 - Wrong -

It's probably wrong to think she is still beautiful now, when she's all stitches and staples and her skin is black and blue, but Chris feels so anyway.

06 - Gentle -

Their first kiss isn't gentle or sweet—it comes in a fit of rage and they both fight for dominance and end up with bruised lips, necks, cheekbones—and Sheva can't forget the burn of his lips.

07 - One -

There was only one before him she explained and he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, kissing her with such vigor that she would soon forget there was anyone else but.

08 - Thousand -

Sheva watched the majini stream by in uncountable numbers—raging men, bloodied women, frail elderly, dead children—and Chris knew that with each person she laid to rest, she felt her heart break a little more at the state of her birthplace.

09 - King -

Sheva may look like an African Princess, but her father was no king, and she would never want a throne; Josh thought she was some sort of delicate flower—Chris knows she's not.

10 - Learn -

She had taught him a few things; his absolute favorite being how she could make him mewl in bed.

11 - Blur -

There is a wall of fire between them, and he is being overwhelmed by majini, and she can do nothing but scream his name as his figure is blurred by smoke and tears and shadow.

12 - Wait -

After they fight, he makes a beeline for the door and she follows him, calling after him to wait, but when he stops dead and implores her to speak with stony eyes, she is too surprised to remember anything she was going to say.

13 - Change -

Chris can be dangerous and sarcastic and completely infuriating, but Sheva loves him that way and doesn't want anything to change.

14 - Command -

When they first became a team, he spoke to her gruffly, almost as if she weren't good enough to take the place of his old partner—but along the way his commands became softer and fewer, as if he had trusted in her natural intuitiveness.

15 - Hold -

He's almost catatonic as he tells her he doesn't need her help, holding onto horrific memories of the horror's that took place in Kijuju, and she finds herself rotating from understanding, to frustration, to anger, to deep, unadulterated, dangerous pity.

16 - Need -

In the darkness of their motel room, he finds her and takes everything she has been offering so freely with desperate lips and wandering hands.

17 - Vision -

When she stares at her reflection and understands for the first time, visions of a broken man unable to do nothing but watch his partner gave her life for his own float unbidden into her mind—she wonders if the unbearable loneliness that grips her now is the same as what Chris felt for two long years.

18 - Attention -

Chris has been busy with Jill lately, checking up on her and trying to help her cope; in response, Sheva watches from the sidelines, a little jealous but more amazed to be in the company of two legends.

19 - Soul -

At first, Sheva had refused to think of Chris—still he always there, never going away—but now, there is a gaping abyss where he had once been, a pit she can feel inside her.

20 - Picture -

"Do you love her?" Sheva asks, staring down at the photo of him and Jill standing side by side in the sunny streets of Raccoon City, and Chris replies with the only answer he trusts himself to give: "I'd rather not talk about it."

21 - Fool -

She feels like a fool for having ever looked at Chris and believed that, just maybe, she wasn't alone.

22 - Mad -

When Sheva is angry, her eyes burn like fire; when Chris is angry, he becomes fire.

23 - Child -

Childhood innocence was stolen from them both, she thinks, but she learns not to complain—after all, if they hadn't shared a common goal of wanting to take down Umbrella, they wouldn't have met at all.

24 - Now -

Every now and then she wonders, "If only I could speak to him again," but she thinks of how happy he is with Jill and so commits herself to saying nothing and staying away.

25 - Shadow -

The first time she escapes weaponless, she nearly is surrounded in the darkness as a majini grabs at her; when she is sure she won't see light again, she hears gun shots close by and a second later they all fall down, and she can hear Chris saying, "Maybe now you'll think twice before running off on your own."

26 - Goodbye -

"So, I guess this is goodbye." she says with a small smile, and Chris glances at her, "Yeah, I guess so," he says quietly, and almost looks sad, but when she blinks his expression is hard and his eyes piercing, commanding her to leave; she does, and somehow she knows she will never see him again.

27 - Hide -

There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, but as he turned for a moment to stare at Sheva, he was surprised to find that even in the face of Wesker, she wouldn't show she was afraid.

28 - Fortune -

They were definitely fortunate enough, they agreed over a bottle of beer, to fight with Wesker and live to tell the tale.

29 - Safe -

He can't afford something as precious as sanctuary, but she's been offering to give it away for free.

30 - Ghost -

There are days when Chris feels an echo, a step, something, and he becomes irrationally convinced that Sheva is there, just out of sight.

31 - Book -

Sheva is lounging in a chair with a book spread across her lap and Chris asks curiously, "What're you reading?" and when she smirks deviously and holds it up for him to see, his eyes widen in surprise at the naughty display and he bends over while holding onto his stomach in a fit of laughter, but still she says, "Want to try some now?"

32 - Eye -

In her eyes he sees the reflection of a million fragmented destinies, locked and twisted into a web that stretches far beyond his understanding of time and space—this, he knows, is part of the reason he must continue in his line of work and throw himself head first into such terrors.

33 - Never -

She had never been with an older man before him, but he descended lower while placing chastise kisses down her body, she was quickly learning the benefits.

34 - Sing -

Sheva sang, not very well but what she lacked in tune and pitch she more than made up for in volume and enthusiasm; at least that is the only answer Chris ever gives her.

35 - Sudden -

Sheva suddenly pushed him against the wall, kissing him hungrily while jumbling sloppily with his belt.

36 - Stop -

Wesker needed to be stopped, and while an army might not be what was needed Sheva was beginning to think this one man beside her might be enough.

37 - Time -

When they come to the wasteland that was once Raccoon City, Sheva stumbles over the unfamiliar ground and Chris doesn't quite know what to do with himself, but the fight is over, and time—to waste and heal and learn—is something they have in abundance.

38 - Wash -

They wash the dark ashes from their skin, the sweat from their brows, and the blood from their hands, but they know they will never be clean; Chris wonders if he ever was, but then he turns to Sheva, and he feels what he thinks must be guilt, blossoming at the edges of his heart.

39 - Torn -

Chris tears the photo in half and, resisting the urge to set it on fire, lets the pieces fall to the floor; when Sheva walks into the room, she finds the pieces and mends them with tape, placing it in a drawer for him because she knows he'll want it later.

40 - History -

While looking for Umbrella in the BSAA files, she finds Chris' picture and agent file: it is meticulously labeled and overlaid with diagrams, every part of his history dismantled and weighed and pointing invariably to the same impossible conclusion.

41 - Power -

He's a grown man, the definition of pure masculinity and power, and she thinks maybe this is why she was attracted to him from the very beginning.

42 - Bother -

She likes to think that he needs her, but it bothers her that she can only convince herself it's true when she's feeling especially stable.

43 - God -

Chris was never the type to believe in god—what happens, happens, and there's nothing and no one that can suddenly make everything right in the world; he believed in what he could see and feel, like the fire burning in his veins (and her eyes), and the soft weight of the darkness around his body (like the weight of her hand in his).

44 - Wall -

Chris' revelation that Sheva is just as walled-in as he is, at first, a bit of a shock to him; perhaps he always should have known, given her circumstances, but he supposes that her pure smile threw him off.

45 - Naked -

She loves to walk around his place naked, showing off full round breasts with hard taunt nipples (and those necklaces that she never takes off), but when she turns around and wiggles her perfect ass just to taunt him, he finds himself growling in a animalistic manner, chasing after her as she runs off in a fit of devious giggles.

46 - Drive -

"Sheva, are you sure you know how to drive a stick?" Chris asks, eyeing her nervously as she tries to maneuver the gearshift, "Yes, Chris, now will you shut up?"; when the engine makes a horrible grinding sound he gives her a pointed look, "Maybe I should drive instead."

47 - Harm -

He didn't want to hurt anyone, not again, but she assured him that she was strong enough for anything.

48 - Precious -

All that is left to him is honor and duty, and nothing is more important than the vows he takes and she wonders how she became much more precious than his beliefs.

49 - Hunger -

He can't get enough of her, biting her lip and kissing her deeply, feeling her skin against his, drinking in every bit of her essence to sate the desire that clamors in his head, yelling that he wants to be with her forever and ever and ever, to never let her go as long as they both live.

50 - Believe -

Her belief has changed, but the act of believing leaves her as ecstatic and terrified as ever.
