#crack fic #Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles #800 words, #Not Beta Read #cleonpneweek #cleontb

Synopsis: Leon and Claire have something in common. And it's not just their feelings.

Note: I'm fascinated with the idea of the so-called 'crack fic'. It's usually this one that gets me laughing. I thought I should give it a try and write one.

P.S.: I got inspired by the CNE week ad poster from Tumblr. Whoever made that, thank you very much.

After she was certain Sherry had calmed down and slowly drifted to sleep, Claire turned to Leon and said, "Leon, you got a minute?"

Leon followed Claire to the adjacent room. His back was facing her as she closed the door. While he was looking around the deserted room, an unforeseen assault from the person he trusted the most suddenly caught him by surprise.

Resulting in him turning around to confront her, he cried out his pain, "Oww, that hurt. Why did you do that?"

Caressing his bodily part that was assaulted, his face expressing what he felt at the moment. Hurting not just physically but also emotionally.

She exclaimed, "It's real." A pinch of surprise could be heard in her voice.

"Of course, it's real. It's my ear."

"I thought it was fake. That you wearing a headband."

"Headband? Seriously, Claire? First of all, I'm in uniform on my first day on the job. Secondly, we are in the middle of a zombie attack. Didn't you think it a bit tad off if I wear this just for funsies while trying not to get infected and turned to those cannibalistic fucking creatures?"

"Alright. Geez... you sound stressed."

Leon spat out his rage freely, "I'm stressed. And you pulling my ear had me even more stressed. Fuck!"

Claire drew his body to hers and embraced him. He protested her at first but her holding of him was firm. She gave him a gentle stroke on his back and his tense body relaxed. He nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck, which smelled strawberry and sweat.

"I'm sorry, okay."

Upon noticing him returning her embrace, she voiced her query softly. "Got it since birth?"

Still got his face buried in her shoulder, he nodded. Then, she heard him mumble against her skin. "You could just ask if it was real or not."

Her fingers caressed the baby hairs at the back of his head prompting him to look up seeking an explanation. They both locked in each other gaze.

"I know. My bad experience took the best of me. I once dated a guy who got that thing surgically fixed just to increase his chances to get by with us Bunnies."

He dislodged from her arms, his face flashed confusion. "Us? You?"

She answered him with a nod.

"But you- look normal.", he examined her.

She did not have the infamous buck tooth and the size of her palms and her feet were normal. No prominent whiskers. And definitely no long fluffy ears. Seeing him in befuddlement, she took 3 steps back from him. Then, she proceeded to unbutton her denim shorts.

"Err... Claire-"

Immediately, he lowered his gaze to the floor when she turned as he could guess what was coming. Only to look up when she called his name.

"Leon."

Her skimpy denim short was pushed just below the butt cheek revealing a small furball lookalike, located right above her butt crack just below the dimples on her back.

He looked at her with deepened interest, "Is that?

"Yeah."

"You too?", asked Leon. His eyes were shining with excitement upon knowing he shared something in common with the girl that he gradually crushing on.

"Me too."

"It looks fluffy."

"It is fluffy."

Advanced closer to her, he brazenly asked. "Uhmm... can I-"

"Touch it? Yeah, go ahead."

"It is fluffy." His face brightened with a broad smile, his hand still fondling the fluff furball.

"Ahh... not so much, please." Claire's voice came out breathy while her body shuddered.

However, Leon retracted his hand upon hearing her whimper. A flash of concern was apparent on his face as he regarded her. "Oh, sorry did I hurt you?"

"No, it just- if you do too much it triggers another reaction."

"What reaction?

"The good kind.", shared Claire in hushed tones. She averted her eyes away from his blue ones as she pulled back her short to wear it properly again.

Leon noticed her face redden under the clear ceiling light. "So, we're the same."

"With your ear?"

Thus, Leon gently lured her hand and nudged it to his fluffy ear. As she proceeded to scratch at the soft spot of the back of his ear, his shut closed as he rode the shivers of instant pleasure.

She gasped momentarily yet quickly clasped her mouth to contain her excitement. His eyes fluttered open, his cheeks pinked with blush. He did not usually share these intimate details with others, especially with strangers, but Claire was an exception. He likes her.

"We're the same."

"Fluffy ears and fluffy tail."

A playful grin bunched on his lips, "So, is there a reason why you aggressively pulled my ear earlier?"

"It's a spur of the moment. I want to know it real."

"And why is that?"

"Because I like you."

Thereafter, he triumphantly kissed her upon hearing her confession.

Endnote: It's ridiculous. I know. But I'm not sure this is 'crack' enough. I don't know. Please tell me.

P.S.: Imagine Leon being mad at you with bunny ears. Ohh.. If it was me, I could not take it seriously. It's just too cute.
