He is Real
Chapter 29
Warnings: Lemon, Gore, Language
*Author's Note: Aww, now I want to play my Resident Evil 4 game..... But of course, my mom doesn't let me play it anymore..... *Sigh* Apparently, "young ladies" shouldn't play violent, gorey, killing and shooting games. I mean, who cares?! All of you have played it, from what it sounds and looks like, and you people are probably around my age, maybe older. I miss Leon! I wanna play RE4 and kill Ganados!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He pulled you onto his lap, stroking your hair softly away from your eyes. He wrapped one of his arms around your waist. You watched him curiously and almost with a daze.
"Look at the sky," he whispered into your ear, nodding his head forward. You tilted your head a bit and switched your gaze forward. The sun had already set and the sky was radiating with beautiful blended colors. The orange, yellow and red hues mixed in with the indigo blue in a misty effect. The many bright stars were beginning to glisten with a very large crescent moon that seemed closer then usual.
"Wow..." you said with amazement. You have never seen anything this beautiful. You couldn't remember the last time you have seen so many stars in the sky before. A cool breeze brushed through, causing you to shiver a bit. Leon took notice and wrapped his arms around yours, warming you with body heat--he still had not put back his shirt. You leaned your back against his chest, a smile formed widely on your lips.
Maybe this whole experience wasn't bad after all. Okay, so you lost family members, friends, your house was probably destroyed by now, along with the town and you are stuck in the middle of a large forest. On the bright side though, you were saved by the very handsome Leon, protected from being almost killed so many times, and now you were resting on Leon's lap, looking out at the beautiful stars.
It wasn't such a miserable summer--at least you hoped it wouldn't get worse.
"C'mon, let's get back to camp," Leon whispered. You nodded in agreement and got up from his lap.
"But first, I still haven't tied your bandage," you pointed out as you pointed towards his arm.
"Oh, right," he said. You smiled and picked up his knife that had been dropped to the floor. You looked towards your finger, the blood had slowed flowing. You brought your index finger to your lips and sucked away the blood. You gripped the handle of Leon's knife and cut off the excess bandage. You tied it up.
"There you go," you announced. He smiled and picked up the excess bandage from the ground. He grabbed your finger and began wrapping it with the bandage. "Thanks," you whispered to him as he tied it in place.
"That should stop the bleeding," he informed and grabbed his shirt. You nodded. He placed his shirt over his torso again and sheathed back his knife. The two of you walked back towards the campsite.
"Finally, you came back, I thought you might have drowned or something," Jessica remarked sarcastically as she smirked. She was seated beside Luis near the fire with her arms hugging her legs to her chest.
"And you wouldn't have saved us if we did? Nice hero you are," you replied back with a grin. She laughed lightly.
"Who said I was the hero?" you rolled your eyes and shook your head. You plopped down onto the cool grass by the fire. Leon took a seat beside you. You licked your dry lips and starred down at the fire. Jessica sighed and looked over at Luis who seemed to be taking something out of his back pocket. He took out a pack of cigarettes, taking one by his lips and reaching his pocket for a lighter. He threw the empty pack into the fire.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I haven't had a smoke in a while," Luis replied. Jessica furrowed her brow and grabbed the unlit cigarette from his mouth, "Hey-"
Jessica cut him off, "Smoking is a bad habit to get into, unless you would like to kill yourself from cancer, then be my guest," she told him and flicked the cancer stick into the fire. You bit your bottom lip in order to stop yourself from giggling at the expression on Luis' face. He pouted his lips. Leon smirked in amusement.
"Think of the bright side, Luis," you spoke up, "Jessica is trying to save your life, so she is a hero." You smiled brightly.
"Shut up," Jessica playfully replied and threw a twig at you. You silently laughed. Luis kept silent, still pouting at the ashes of his once fresh cigarette. Jessica noticed this and lightly nudged him in the ribs. "Lighten up, would ya? I'm just helping you quit," she remarked. You smiled widely.
"Awww, how cute, Jessica cares," you commented. Jessica blushed lightly, trying to silence you with her eyes. Luis grinned and pulled her closer towards his body.
"You owe me something for those smokes then, amour," he whispered into her ear. Jessica's expression switched from shy to confuse.
"What does amour mean?" she asked by mouthing her lips and silently saying the words behind the back of her hand to you.
"He called you love," you told her, "Amour means love." Her eyes flashed with surprise and her cheeks began to redden.
No doubt she was embarrassed with his affection in front of Leon and you. Luis began wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her in front of him so she was now sitting between his legs. It was cute and amusing to you, but you couldn't help feel a little uncomfortable by their act of expression.
Hours began to fly by as the four of you talked on. You were learning more about each other. Getting to know each other's opinions and even sharing old stories. Some how your conversation winded up to the discussion of the Resident Evil 4 videogame.
"Oh, oh, oh, one time Jessica was playing, and I was telling her that there were these dogs that had the parasite on their back. Anyways, as I was telling her to be careful while she was playing there were three dogs in front of her, or Leon, whatever. She was like, 'Aw look at the cute doggies', I told her to run because those were the dogs I told her about, but it was too late and she ended up dying, or killing Leon," you laughed nervously at the end after telling the story.
"Well, I didn't know what they were going to do," Jessica replied.
"If you listened to me, then you would," you remarked. She shrugged. "I was just wondering though, how did they get all the information to make that game? Did they just make half of it up and the rest were facts?" you wondered.
"They asked me," Leon answered, "The president insisted that we kept the incident in Europe quiet so the best idea was to make the plot into a game. Now people wouldn't believe that it was actually non-fiction."
"Oh, hey, do you ever get people come up to you and say you look just like Leon in Resident Evil 4?" you asked further.
"I haven't had much time to socialize after bringing back Ashley," Leon replied. You scowled at the mention of her name. Leon raised a brow and smirked, "You don't like her?"
"Are you kidding me? She hates her with a passion, sometimes she kills her in the game for just being there," Jessica spoke up. You scratched the back of your neck nervously and shrugged. "She even swears whenever she sees her hug you, or the video game you," she continued, "And there was one time..."
"Would you shut up!" you shouted, "Okay I hate her, so what? How about you Jessica! You cried when you saw your beloved Luis die in the game." She bit her lip and began to blush.
"I didn't cry...I was just sad."
"Mmhm," you murmured with a cocked up brow.
"Enough with your teasing, we should get to sleep," Luis suggested. Leon nodded in agreement.
"Rivera knows where we are, and sooner or later she'll come pay us another uninvited visit to finish us all. We have to find the merchant if we want to defeat her, we're nearly all out of bullets. We'll be defenseless when she appears," Leon said with a serious expression. You sighed but nodded.
"Do you think the merchant will be near?" you asked.
"That guy pops out of no where so he has to be," Jessica replied as she got out of Luis' grip and lay back on the grass.
"We should put out the fire, we wouldn't want to attract our mindless amigos," Luis said. Leon then stood up.
"I'll get some water," he insisted and walked towards the river. Luis lied back beside Jessica, cuddling close together.
You lay back also, turning on your side and tucking your hand under your head for a comfortable sleep. You closed your eyes, waiting for sleep to overcome you. Leon came walking back, a reasonable amount of water in the bottle of an empty first aid spray. He poured it onto the fire, hearing the flames disperse and the sizzling noise as steam formed up.
You heard his footsteps behind you and he lay down on his back. You turned towards him, resting your head on his chest for comfort. He smiled and wrapped an arm around your waist. You smiled back and closed your eyes, drifting off.

*Author's Note: One thing I know I don't miss from RE4.... is the CHAIN SAW MEN! I wouldn't miss them if my life depended on it. And unfortunatly, they can end yours in one swing...... I now seriously have a phobia of chain saws..... Just hearing one of those, or sounds similar, I start panicking and looking around. .
