Leon heard a knock at the door, "Coming!" he called as he got off the couch "Sorry, hun." He said looking at Helena who was trying to put her bra back on in a hurry. Leon grinned as he walked toward the door he heard the knock again.
"He's gonna break the damn door." Leon thought as he strode to the door.
"Fucking christ!" Leon said as he opened the door and pointed to the man while looking at the woman to the man's left.
"How do you deal with Bam Bam here on a daily god damn basis?" He said in a playful tone.
The women laughed then gave Leon a warm hug that he returned happily. "You think that's bad, he's broken four end tables in our living room playing Dark Souls."
The man crossed his arms "Hey, Jill, in my defense, that game is FUCKING impossible." He said with a smile, as he turned and looked at Leon.
"Kennedy." he said with a serious nod
"Redfield." Leon said in an even tone.
Both men stared at each other for what seemed like forever, the tension levels in the room were rising at an alarming rate.
"Leon!" Chris exclaimed opening his monstrous arms for a hug.
"Chris!" Leon grinned before he was scooped up in an impressive death grip "SHIT!" Leon yelped as all the air rushed out of him.
"Chris…" Jill sighed "Put him down before you break him."
Chris released Leon as if on command and Leon crashed to the floor groaning.
He stood up and after he composed himself and looked at his two guests.
"It's great to see you guys again, how has every-"
"Ahem" Leon heard behind him
"Oh shit!" Leon cursed realizing he'd forgotten to introduce Helena.
Helena moved up and went to shake Jill's hand "Hi, Im Helena HA!-"
Helena was cut off and surprised when Jill drew her into a hug, "C'mon no handshakes among friends, any friend of Leon's is a friend of ours."
"That's right." Chris said stepping up. "Although I believe we've already met in Lanshiang."
Helena remembered their showdown with the fake Ada Wong. "He must be the soldier that Leon fought with..didnt think they'd be friends.."
She gave Chris a hug and smiled brightly "Yes we did, but this time it seems we meet under better circumstances."
Jill butt in with a smile "Okay, okay, we're friends Helena but don't linger on my man." she said protectively.
Chris grinned and put his arm around Jill " Babe, it's not her fault if she'd fall for perfection like this." He said motioning to himself.
Helena scoffed, "Don't flatter yourself, Redfield, I just wanted to see if those circus arms of yours were real or not."
Jill burst out laughing and Helena led her to the kitchen. "We'll let the men have their time together, I'l get you a cup of coffee."
"Sounds great, you two behave yourselves." Jill called over her shoulder as she and Helena sat down at the kitchen table.
Leon and Chris just watched as they left.
Things were quiet for a moment, then Leon spoke up.
"This doesn't feel right." He said.
"Yeah.." said Chris.
"They're like, best friends…and its been four minutes."
"We better be careful, Kennedy, conniving women are more dangerous than the Tyrant."
"Shit I Heard that."
Chris punched Leon's shoulder "FUCK" Leon thought rubbing his probably bruised shoulder.
Chris laughed and whispered to Leon, "Dude, Helena is so fucking hot! She's a goddamn aphrodisiac…HOW?"
Leon chuckled, "I know, man, she's honestly the best thing that had ever happened to me, we've only been together for two days, can you believe it!"
"Two fucking days! Whoa I would've though at least a few months." Chris leaned in "What's she like in the sack?"
Leon punched him in the shoulder " A Kennedy never kisses and tells."
Chris laughed "Tell that to Marilyn Monroe."
The conversation In the kitchen wasn't much different albeit a little more mature.
Jill leaned forward towards Helena with a sly look "So…how is he?"
Helena shrugged and played stupid "What do you mean?"
Jill chuckled "Don't bullshit me, Helena, whats he like in bed?"
Helena sighed "Fucking incredible" She glanced at Chris and Leon "I swear to god, Chris just asked Leon the same question."
Jill just laughed "Without a doubt need some help, I'm not a great cook but if i could help…"
Helena smiled "Sure, here" she said handing Jill a knife "Dice these onions will you?"
"Babe!" Leon called "Chris and I are going to start moving stuff!"
Helena looked over her shoulder, "Don't drop my pans, asshole!"
Jill just giggled.
"So.." Chris started as he picked up a huge box. "How have you been."
Leon gave him a weird look.
Chris groaned impatiently, "After China, how have you been."
Leon looked away, "You already know, you've read the report." He replied bitterly.
Chris put the box down, "Listen, Leon, I read the reports but I'm asking you. Jill has been helping every night with coming to terms with my losses in Edonia, I'm still a mess, and this was Helena's first outbreak she won't be ok I've read her file."
Leon sighed, "I'm sorry, Chris, it's just..I've always been able to shake it off y'know. In Raccoon City i was an Idealist, immature. In Spain there was no collateral, and it all felt like mercy killings for the ganados. But this…This time I saw it all, I killed the president, watched hundreds die in Tall Oaks, and even more in Lanshiang. It wasn't like the others, It was the hardest for me, but it was familiar. But Helena..she's taking it even harder, she killed her sister, her only family left…How do I help a patch a rift that big."
Leon realized tears had been streaming down his face as he was talking, he sniffed and wiped his eyes.
It pained Chris to see such a good friend, such a strong man be broken down to tears. He waited as Leon vented.
Leon grit his teeth, "Helena might be…No IS the best thing thats ever happened to me, and I almost lost her three days ago Her and Deborah were so close, I could never…Chris, I can't fail her. But I know I'll screw this up at some point."
Chris put his hands on Leon's shoulders, "Listen, Leon, I've known Helena for about and hour and a half, and I can already see how great a couple you make. She's beautiful beyond reason, smart, funny, loyal, and honest. If you want to help her, let her help you as well. You can't bear both of your burdens on your own. I'm still helping Jill come to terms with some of the things she'd done while under Wesker's control, and she's helping me with the loss of my squad. Open up to her and you'll be fine."
Leon looked at Chris in wonder "Thanks but…Where the FUCK did that come from?! Is there a giant cuddly stuffed panda beneath those circus arms of yours."
Chris took a step back in surprise, "N-no I just..Fuck off Kennedy and help me with this box!" He said in an irritated voice.
"Roger."
Helena and Jill were busy in the kitchen talking, laughing and in Helena's case dancing.
Jill poured herself another cup of coffee and sat at the table while Helena finished up. She smiled as she watched Helena hum to herself and dance around the kitchen.
"Why do you do that?" Jill asked curiously.
"Do what?"Helena asked as she twirled around the kitchen.
"That." Jill said motioning towards the dancing Helena with a nod, "The dancing."
"Oh…"Helena said quietly her cheeks flushed red, "It's nothing…I'll stop."
Jill stood up "Oh no, honey, no! I love it it's absolutely darling, I was simply asking why. Don't be embarrassed to be yourself around me."
Helena sighed and sat down, "My mother, she was a great cook. I always thought it was so cool so I got her to start teaching me when I was six. When i got good and didn't need her constant supervision, she'd turn on music and we'd dance, hum, and sing to the music while we cooked. I've done it ever since." Helena shuddered and wiped a tear from her eye," After she….died, I stopped dancing I stopped singing, I stopped humming…Until I started spending time with Leon. I felt the music again and i wanted to cook and dance. He means the world to me, and ever since we became a couple two days ago-"
Jill was taking a sip of her coffee when she started coughing, "Wait! Two days?! You guys have only been going out for two days!"
"Well…yeah.." Helena said a bit taken aback. "Why?"
Jill calmed herself "It just feels like and looks like it been more like 3 months."
"Really… That's wonderful, I know it's been two days but I feel like it's been going on longer, too. I love him so-"
Jill held up a hand, "Whoa whoa whoa, you love him? Already? don't you think thats a little fast?"
Helena started to panic "He makes me feel so happy! I can't imagine being without him-"
Jill walked around the table and put her hands on Helena's shoulders "Listen, hon, Leon is like my brother, I only want to see him safe and happy. I don't doubt that you two are perfect for each other. It's not my place to tell you how to feel about him, I'm just asking you to be careful. I like you a lot Helena, we'll be great friends, I just don't want to see Leon hurt unfairly 'cause then I might have to shoot you."
Helena smiled "Roger that, I'd hate to have to hurt you too. Now if you don't mind I have to finish cooking unless you wanna join me."
Jill smiled "Well, I don't think you'll have to teach me, so let's get to the dancing, I wanna make the men drool when they get back."
"I heard that! Helena said turning on the radio.
"Fucking shit, Kennedy, you need to hit the gym! Chris said to the huffing Leon.
"Fuck…You…Beast." Leon said out of breath.
"You should work out with me sometime." Chris stated.
"Ha! Fat chance of that, you live like even hours away!" Leon laughed.
"Not anymore."
"What?" Leon asked confused.
"Me and Jill were moving to Washington." Chris said with a big grin.
"That's great! Any special occasion, captain?"
"Actually it's major now, the BSAA is moving me to central command. Probably going to try and stick me behind a desk, I'd like to see them try."
Leon high fived Chris and laughed "Congrats, man! Thats great, where are you guys moving too?"
Chris scratched the back of his head. "We don't know if we want a house or a flat. At least with all the shit we see we get paid a good buck, eh, Kennedy?"
Leon laughed, "Yeah, let's go check on the women, I think Lena's making dinner and by god lemme tell you she's an amazing cook."
Chris nodded "Hell yeah, I'm starving."
Leon followed Chris back into his apartment "L-!" Chris's hand went around Leon's mouth and he led them behind his the couch.
"What?" Leon mouthed.
"Look." mouthed Chris as they peeked over the couch.
Both mens jaws dropped.
"Whoa…" Chris breathed.
About a minute before.
Jill looked at Helena the food was in the oven and the guys would be back soon, "Helena Ive got an idea to make the men do the dishes, I'm gonna act you just play off me…be racy, very racy."
Helena nodded with a big grin. just as they heard the door open.
"Ok. They're here." Jill whispered, Helena just giggled.
They both acted normal until they were sure that they could be seen.
"Oh! Im sorry dear." Jill said spilling water on Helena's shirt.
"Oh no biggie just a little wet thats all." Helena said sweetly trying to brush water off her chest.
Jill shook her head trying to hide a smile. "No honey here lemme take this.." she pulled Helena's shirt off and started drying her chest with a towel.
They both nearly lost it when they heard a gasp.
"Its a good thing the men aren't back, it would be awful for them to see me in my small clothes."
Jill lifted up her shirt "I wonder whose are bigger…yours or mine?"
Helena tapped her finder to her chin. "I don't know…Hey, boys! What do you think."
They both broke out laughing when they hear both the mean curse.
"Shit!"
"Fuck!"
Helena shook her head "Jill, what are we going to do with these dirty boys?" she said while putting on her slightly damp shirt.
Jill smiled "Well for one, they can set the table…"
Chris grinned "Looks like I'm getting off easy."
"And then they can do the dishes."
"Awh Fuck!" He thought.
Dinner went quickly everyone shoveled the pizza Helena made by hand down their throats, especially Chris. After they finished the Jill and Helena went out to the balcony and had some wine while Chris and Leon did the dishes.
Leon and Chris walked out on the balcony when they were finished and joined them.
"You and Chris can sleep in Helena's old apartment we didn't move the bed. Just keep it down…I need my beauty sleep.." He said while stretching.
Jill just rolled her eyes, "Jesus you're lame, but I think I'm ready to turn in. It was a long drive, Sweetie you coming."
"In a minute babe." He looked at Helena, "Helena it was great to re-meet you." he jerked a thumb towards Leon. "Take care of this emo haired lug will you."
"Hey!" Leon protested running a hand through his hair.
Helena laughed and gave Chris a hug, "It was great to meet you two Chris behave yourself in my old apartment."
Chris just grinned then looked at Leon "Kennedy." he grunted.
Leon just nodded.
After Chris left Helena jumped into Leon's arms and sighed, he leaned in and kissed her deeply.
they broke their kiss and stared deeply into each others eyes.
"I've been waiting to do that since they got here." He said
Helena smiled, "I know.." She leaned up and whispered huskily in his ear. "For the rest of the night I'm yours."
Leon's Heart skipped a beat. "Oh really Ms. Harper."
"Really Mr. Kennedy." she said as he carried her to the bedroom.
"Now..what exactly did you have in mind?" He asked as he laid Helena down on the bed and took off his shirt.
"Oh..I don't know…" Helena said as she pulled her shirt and pants off, letting him stare at her in her small clothes.
Maybe, something like.." Leon continued as he crawled on top of her.
Helena flung her arms around Leon's neck and pulled him down.
"This." she barely managed to say before their lips met.
