Chapter 2
Leon woke up and rubbed his eyes. He was laying in the bathtub with Claire cradled on top of him. He then glanced down and saw that he was still inside of her. Smiling, he placed his hand on Claire's shoulder and shook her lightly.
"Claire? Claire..." he whispered into her ear and kissed it softly. She shifted on top of him and fluttered her eyes open.
"Leon?" she groaned softly and sat up. Leon watched her intently and smiled, "Morning." he cupped her cheek and stroked it with his thumb. Claire softly kissed his hand in response and looked around.
"We fell asleep in the shower." she looked down at their union and then at Leon. He nodded in response and started moving his hands down. "Yeah, we did..." he was about to grab her breasts but Claire placed her hands on his.
"We should get moving. There's bound to be Umbrella employees here." her gaze pierced his and he smiled. "Those bastards are the reason that I couldn't go to the hospital." he looked at his shoulder and saw the bandages. It still hurt, but at least the bullet was out.
"Maybe we can get you to a real doctor and have them look at it?" Claire placed her hand on the sides of the tub and started to dismount him. They both gasped as she finally got all of the way off. Claire stepped out of the tub carefully and stretched. Leon could help but check her out one last time before she got dressed.
Claire walked over to the toilet and started grabbing her clothes. While she was dressing, he still had is eyes on her. He tried to remember every curve of her body, who knows, this might be the last time he sees her naked.
After she finished dressing, Claire looked at Leon and smiled. "Are you going to get up?" the rookie gave her a slight shrug and looked at his pants on the ground. "I guess so, we need to keep moving."
Leon stood up and stretched his good arm above his head and yawned. The young Redfield smiled and looked at him, "Nice. Very classy." she tossed him his pants and boxers and waited for him to put them on.
"I'm one classy guy." he winked at her and headed towards the door. Claire walked right behind him and they entered the 'bedroom'. Sherry was still asleep on her bed, she was gravely deprived on sleep. Running away from a monster that was your own father for a few days can wear you out. Plus the two days it took to get to Stone Ville. They both wouldn't be surprised if she slept for the whole day.
Leon sat on his bed and examined his shoulder. Luckily the stitches hadn't ripped when he and Claire had their little 'alone time together'. She sat next to him on the bed and started unwrapping the dressing on his shoulder.
"I'll just clean this up again and get some new bandages on you." she grabbed her supplies that she used last night and started working on his shoulder. Leon watched her intently with a smile on his face. He loved the way her hands felt on his skin. Sure, he was in pain from the wound, but her fingertips seemed to sooth that pain away.
Claire placed more iodine on his shoulder and he sucked in his breath. He looked over at the brownish liquid that was coloring his skin, at least it was disinfecting the wound.
"Sorry..." Claire mumbled as she dabbed it with a clean cotton swab. He gave her a soft smile and looked up at her, "It's no problem. Thank you for taking care of it." her eyes looked up at him and then she nodded.
Claire grabbed a clean bandage and gently placed it on the stitched wound. Then she grabbed a wrap and started wrapping it across his shoulder and chest. "There, that should hold for a while." she gave him a bright smile and then stood up, "Give me your clothes sizes and and get everyone something new to wear."
She opened the night stand and grabbed the pad of paper that the motel supplied. Claire scribbled down Leon's sizes, and then looked through Sherry's clothes for hers. After that, she handed Leon a bag of food and headed to the door. "Keep watch when I'm gone?" she placed the door key in her side pack with her handgun from earlier.
Leon patted the Desert Eagle that was in his holster and nodded. "Yeah, just come back soon." he gave her a smile and then winked. She winked in response and headed out of the door.
He smiled and started rummaging through the paper sack. He pulled out the cardboard cylinder and popped the top of. "Pringles. Awesome." he took a stack out of the container and closed it up. Leon reached for the tv remote and pressed the power button. The news was on, and it was a report about Raccoon City.
Leon leaned up a bit and looked at the picture of the smoking crater that was once a growing metropolis. He hadn't known that the whole city was blown up too! He just thought it was the Umbrella labs that he and Claire escaped from.
Apparently, the President ordered a contingency plan and Raccoon was sterilized. Leon slammed his fist into the mattress and cursed. There were still innocent civilians that weren't infected. People lost their lives, and the President did the most reckless thing. He blew up all the evidence on Umbrella, all of it. Except for the memos and files that Leon and Claire took with them. At least they had that.
Leon was lost in his thoughts and didn't hear when Claire knocked or even when she opened up the door. She had a couple shopping bags with her and a backpack.
"I got the clothes, and a bag for all of our supplies." she raised the bags at him and then sat them on the floor. After shutting and locking the door, she looked up at Leon.
He nodded towards the tv and spoke, "Did you hear about what they did to Raccoon? They nuked it! They blew up the whole city!"
Claire looked at her shoes and nodded, "Yeah, I know... I heard about it. Didn't you see the smoke from the city?"
Leon shook his head and looked at her, " I was shot Claire. I didn't pay much attention to anything for the past few days."
"So you didn't pay attention to me?" she bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes. He rose up off the bed and walked over to her, "Claire, that's not what I meant." he placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed. "You mean a lot to me Claire..." he titled her face up to his and gave her a small peck on the lips.
She did the same back to him and then they both started kissing harder. Leon took his hand off of her shoulder and wrapped it around her thin waste. He gave a slight squeeze and Claire wrapped her arms around his neck. Leon groaned as he slid his tongue past her lips. She tasted like peppermint, so he plunged his tongue deeper into her mouth, gliding it across her own, tasting her.
Claire moaned softly and broke the kiss, "Leon..." He placed a finger over her lips and shushed her, "Shh.. Claire."
She kissed his finger lightly and shook her head, "We can't do this anymore. I'm sorry..." Claire let her arms drop to her sides and looked down, " I have to find my brother..." she walked away from Leon and took a shopping bag with her into the bathroom.
Leon stood there, dumbfounded. Why wouldn't she want him anymore? Why is her brother more important than him? Apparently he's alive and well in Europe. It's not like he couldn't defend himself. He stood silent for a few more minutes and glanced over at the door. It was closed, but he didn't care. Leon turned to door knob and saw Claire standing in her bra and panties. She looked up at him and tried to cover herself.
"We need to talk.." he moved her hands away from her chest and held them gently, "Why don't you want to do this anymore?" His blue gaze pierced her own.
She swallowed hard and thought about what she was going to say, "Because this is wong, Leon. We just used each other for a night of sex. We were stressed, and that was how we blew off steam..." she closed her eyes and turned her face away. She didn't want to say that, but it was something that needed to be said.
"Claire..." he tired to make her look at him.
"No, Leon. Just forget about me, pretend this never happened." she turned around from him and started putting on her new clothes. Leon stared at her in disbelief and shook his head.
"No. I wont." his voice was firm, like he was scolding a child.
Claire turned around and faced him, she had tears brimming in her eyes, "Last night was a mistake, it shouldn't have happened."
"Claire..." Leon sounded pained, he couldn't believe that she had just said that to him, "Then why? Why did you say 'yes'?" he stared at her in the eyes, trying to understand her more.
"I was upset, I needed..." she stopped and broke her gaze with Leon. He moved in and wrapped his arms around her tightly. His mouth moved close to her ear and whispered, "To be comforted? To be touched?"
Claire shivered from the tickling of his breath on her skin. She wanted to wrap her arms around him and stay close. But she couldn't, she still had to find Chris.
"Leon..." Claire moved out of his grip and looked at him, " I have to find my brother. He's the most important thing in my life." she bit her bottom lip and walked past him. Leon had his eyes gazing down at the floor and slammed his fist into the wall, then he walked out and spoke,
"Dammit Claire! What about Sherry? What about me?! You're just going to leave us here and find your fucking brother? We need you too! He's a big boy, he can handle himself!" Leon's eyes looked like they were on fire as he glared at the young Redfield.
"You know what Leon, fuck you!" she didn't care that she cursed by Sherry. She had to find her only family and make sure he was safe. Leon could take care of Sherry while she was gone.
"No, FUCK YOU!! Just leave us alone! " Leon panted with rage and continued, "You're looking for you brother right, just go!" his eyes looked over at Sherry and saw her face covered with disbelief.
Claire was filled with rage and walked to the door, "Don't have to tell me twice." she opened the door and slammed it behind her. Little did Claire know, there were men waiting near that wanted to have a little chat with Leon.
A/N: Not as fluffy as I wanted (barely any at all D:), but hopefully I'll have more chapters up soon!
