Albert Wesker (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• You want to kiss this man so bad. You know Albert is someone who doesn't hand out a whole lot of physical affection, though.
• Is your hinting not blatant enough? If he was picking up on it and wasn't interested, you're sure he'd bluntly tell you.
• You decide to be blunt yourself and just see what happens.
• There's a moment of pause where you prepare yourself to hear one of Albert's flat noes.
• You don't.
• The kiss starts like he's executing it based on written instructions. It's not bad, it's just... Bordering on mechanical?
• Then, suddenly, your back is against a wall and the kiss is turning rough.
• When he pulls away, he does it almost abruptly. You're just left breathless and weirdly taken aback as he continues on as if none of that just happened.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Chris pulls to a stop in front of your place. Even though it's late and you're tired, you almost don't want to get out of the car.
• You turn to look at Chris and thank him for the ride. "I appreciate it," you tell him as you place a hand on the door handle. At the last moment, you lean to kiss him.
• As soon as he realizes what you’re doing, he closes the rest of the distance.
• One of his hands finds its way to the side of your face, his fingers in your hair.
• Things turn fervent rather quickly.
• You leave that vehicle breathless and overwhelmed in the best way possible

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis):

• You make Brad a complete mess.
• His nervousness is palpable when he asks to kiss you. He’s got his head bowed down slightly and the tips of his ears are red.
• He’s a bit stiff when you initially lean in, but he manages to relax.
• The kiss is just... gentle. And sweet.
• You loosely hold Brad’s hands in yours. He gives them a light squeeze.
• When you both break apart, he rests his forehead against yours, a soft look in his eyes.

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1):

• The first time you kiss Joseph, the moment is preceded by him jokingly asking if the two of you are about to do just that.
• Or him saying “make me” after you tell him to shut up.
• There's a moment of surprise for Joey—an "oh shit, I was kinda hoping but I didn't think you'd actually do it!"
• Then, he completely melts into it.
• He hooks his arms around your waist and pulls you flush against him.
• The kiss is so full of feeling and passion.
• Briefly, you can feel him smile against your lips before you separate.
• Hands still resting on your waist, now full-on grinning, he huffs out a happy laugh as he tries to catch his breath.

Barry Burton (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• You're out in the field with Barry.
• Just before you separate to cover more ground, you both pause to exchange good lucks and stay safes.
• The kiss is just a spur of the moment thing, really.
• Barry draws your chin up with his forefinger and thumb.
• It's meant to be quick. Only a peck, but you go back in a second time.
• Truly, it doesn't last that much longer. Maybe only a few seconds. There still gets to be a lot more feeling in it, though. More passion.

Carlos Oliveira (Resident Evil 3 REmake):

It's kinda late.

You're absolutely plastered. Carlos isn't home and you want to try and wait up for him.

You flop down onto the couch, turn on the TV, and try to get yourself comfortable.

Maybe a bit too comfortable. Not even minutes into the movie you decided to put on, you start to nod off despite your efforts not to.

You're not quite asleep when Carlos returns, but you're teetering dangerously on the edge.

He turns off the TV, deciding he'll carry you to bed after taking a quick shower and putting on some comfy clothes.

As he heads for the bathroom, flicks on the light, and closes the door behind him, you stare with half-closed eyes, confused.

In your drunken state, the first thought to slowly float through your brain is 'Who is that...?'

You then jump to the only logical conclusion: This is an intruder. One that's currently using your and Carlos' amenities!

You clumsily stand, nearly tripping over the coffee table as you go to the bathroom.

You press yourself up against the wall beside the door and wait.

The shower turns off.

A few minutes pass.

The door opens.

A figure steps into the doorway.

You go in for the attack.

Immediately, Carlos' instincts kick in. He steps back and assumes a defensive position, but he doesn't need to. You miss by quite a lot, doing a slight spin before falling face-first onto the carpet. It's unclear what exactly you were attempting in the first place.

After the initial surprise wears off, his features twist in confusion and concern. "You alright? What're you doing?"

You ignore him completely, latching onto one of his ankles as if it could possibly stop him from walking away. "Listen here, man." Your words are slurred and it immediately becomes obvious that you got too deep into the liquor cabinet. "If you think you can get away with breaking in here, you've got another thing coming. My boyfriend can kick your ass, and he's supposed to be home any minute now..."

You're still on the offensive, but you're too inebriated to accomplish anything.

Carlos bites back a laugh, amused by all of this. "Sure, babe. I'll kick my own ass."

The words don't quite process. "...Huh?"

He crouches down in front of you. "I'm your boyfriend, remember?"

"Ohhh..."

"Yeah." He picks you up and shoulders you. "Time for bed. You're wasted."

"Am not."

"Right. Sure."

Once you're in bed and all cozied up, Carlos puts a glass of water and some Asprin on the nightstand beside you.

You will be teased about this situation once you get some rest. And for a while after that.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5):

After spending a night hanging out with some friends, you get dropped off at your and Chris' shared apartment far more wasted than you have ever been before.

Chris went downstairs upon realizing he forgot to check the mail, and you miss each other as you make your way up. As far as you're aware, you're about to be home alone as you close the door behind you.

There are a few lights on, but you don't really think much of it.

You take your coat off and just barely manage to remove your shoes.

That's when Chris reaches the apartment. Ever the cautious man after all that he's experienced, he did go ahead and lock the door before stepping out.

Your attention is quickly caught by the heavy footsteps in the hallway, and the audible fumbling of keys.

This is just like a scene in one of the movies you watched with your friends, where the main character realizes some creep is trying to get into their place.

The thought sort of freaks you out, so you immediately lock yourself in the bathroom you're currently standing in.

Just before Chris can turn the door handle, his phone begins to ring.

"Hello?"

"Chris," you whisper, "someone is trying to break in."

Instantly, he's asking you if you're okay.

Chris is under the impression that you're still with your friends, so he's throwing open the door and hurrying around the apartment in an attempt to grab everything he needs to come to your aid.

He's asking for more details. What exactly is happening? Where are you?

You aren't being particularly helpful. You're hard to understand because you're crying, whispering, slurring, and panicking. But who can blame you? From your perspective, there's some stranger stomping around the apartment, moving things, and saying stuff that you can't make out.

"You have to tell me where you are."

"The bathroom," you sob out.

"Where? What's the address?" Chris presses.

"I'm at home!"

After a moment, he pauses. He's standing there completely ready to leave as the words sink in.

He says your name.

"Yeah?"

"Nobody broke in. It's me."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." He heads over to the bathroom and convinces you to come out.

You're still a mess, so he takes you into his arms and spends some time reassuring you.

Then, he guides you to the bed. He'll put on a show you like or something. You can watch it with him until you fall asleep.

Chapter Text

Salvatore Moreau (Resident Evil Village):

• Sal just fucking melts if you go and give him a lil' kiss on the top of his head. It almost always gets him giggling like a moron.
• He likes to play with your hands whenever given the opportunity.
• To what I'm sure is nobody's surprise, Salvatore is a huge fan of movie dates. He has lots of good ones to pick from, and a pile of blankets you guys could potentially snuggle under... It can get rather chilly down in that mine, you know.
• He might try to find a nice spot around the reservoir to have a picnic with you. Maybe the piers, one of the rooftops, or on a boat...
• He tells you that he loves you a lot.
• Sal makes his own bracelets (also, bone crowns) and will definitely be making you something as well.
• He gives you little trinkets and cool rocks he finds in the reservoir, and will barely be able to contain his excitement when presenting them to you.
• He uses pet names like darling, love, my precious, and sweetheart.
• The man loves to praise you and give you compliments.
• (In case you were wondering, he does enjoy receiving those things from you just as much).
• On occasion, you might find him affectionately bumping his head against you. Like a cat or something! :)

Ark Thompson (Resident Evil Survivor):

• Know that if you want to be with Ark, then it's crucial that you get along with/like his kids, Lily and Lott. It's important to him that the most important people in his life have a good relationship with each other.
• He's always trying to take you out to restaurants for dates. Usually hole-in-the-wall places since they, in his opinion, have the best food.
• He also strikes me as the type of guy to take you bowling, mini golfing, or something in a similar vein.
• You're one of very few people that gets to see his resting grumpy face change to a genuine toothy smile.
• Ark owns one of those wallets with a big ass photo sleeve, and one side of it is literally just pictures of you.
• He loves an excuse to rest his forehead against you or to have his head on your lap.
• I don't think he uses pet names all that often. Most of the time he just calls you a nickname that's pulled from whatever you go by.
• He can be a bit of a doting partner and is always talking about you.
• If he can get away with it, Ark likes to pick you up. Most often it's that type of carry where he hooks his arms around your legs and slightly under your butt, but he also goes for the fireman carry on occasion.
• He's a big fan of giving you single-lip and corner-of-the-mouth kisses.

Bruce McGivern (Resident Evil Dead Aim):

• Bruce loves to sling an arm over your shoulders when you're standing next to him/walking beside him.
• He also loves to come up behind you and hug you. Depending on your height, he might rest his chin on the slope of your shoulder or the top of your head.
• His attempts at flirting with you are almost always... corny. Very corny.
• Bruce is the kind of guy that likes to play fight/wrestle with you—if you'll allow him.
• He uses pet names like honey/hun, darlin' sweetheart, doll, and stud.
• If you speak more than one language, Bruce'll try and learn. He'll do it in secret and whip it out once he's confident in his abilities.
• He enjoys making you nice home-cooked meals. Be warned, if you choose to help, he is the kind of person who will smear a bit of the ingredients on your face.
• Bruce sleeps on his back, so if you're cuddling in bed, he likes to have you snuggled up against his side while he has an arm around you. Alternatively, draped over him like a blanket.
• Please run your fingers through his hair. He's a sucker for it. Might just lull him to sleep.
• Bruce is someone who hardly ever takes you on the same sort of date twice. Man's got a million ideas to try out with you.

Jake Muller (Resident Evil 6):

• Jake might not always be the best at expressing himself with words, so he often shows his affection for you through actions. He'll get you little gifts every now and then to surprise you, and often does things for you without asking.
• (You might find him doing stuff like this in an attempt to make up for doing something stupid).
• He can be rather protective of you. This guy wouldn't hesitate to take a bullet—or bite from some undead motherfucker if it means keeping you safe.
• When it comes to cuddling, Jake prefers when you're snuggled up against his side or straight up into his chest.
• You'll often find him resting a hand on one of your thighs.
• Or alternatively, both of his legs across them.
• Once you get to know him, it's not too hard to fluster him. Despite often acting like a smug bastard, compliments from someone Jake genuinely cares about can make them that way. He just doesn't know how to process them.
• Jake is the sort of partner that goes out of his way to annoy and tease you. Very, very rarely to the point of genuine frustration, though! It's all in good fun.
• His ideal dates involve going out without having any real idea what you're going to do, and just doing something that piques your guys' interest when you come across it.
• With his line of work, you either end up doing a lot of moving around or, unfortunately, go through periods where you only get to hear his voice. He calls often, at least.

Richard Aiken (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Richard is a big ol' cuddler.
• He isn't picky about cuddling positions, but he's particularly fond of when you lay on top of him like a blanket, your head on his chest and his arms loosely wrapped around your middle.
• Also, when you both just... lay side by side with your guys' hands clasped together.
• Richard often comes up behind you to hug you.
• The guy likes to linger for a moment after he kisses you, his forehead resting against yours.
• When you hold Richard’s hand, he’s likely to press his lips against the back of your hand.
• Whenever you cradle his face in your hands... Richard just melts.
• He 100% keeps more than one picture of the two of you in his wallet.
• He calls you sunshine.
• Other pet names from him tend to be something like beautiful, handsome, etc.
• Richard’s favorite kinds of dates usually involve being outside with you. Having picnics, going to restaurants with outside seating, on long strolls, finding a nice spot and looking at the stars with you... Stuff like that.

---

Billy Coen (Resident Evil 0):
• This man... craves your touch, to be close to you so much that it just makes him ache.
• However, public displays of affection make him a bit uncomfortable. The most you’ll usually get from Billy when others are around are an arm draped over your shoulders, a hand resting on your waist, maybe a thigh squeeze or his fingers interlocking with yours under a table.
• As far as cuddling goes, Billy’s favorite position is half-spooning, with him being the one on his back and you cozied up against his side.
• He can and will rest his legs across your lap.
• Billy tends to prefer more relaxed dates. Grabbing some food and driving to a place with a nice view, then finding a bench or simply sitting on the hood of the car while you eat and enjoy each other’s company; watching a movie late at night, sharing some alcohol beside a firepit.
• Calls you things like babe, doll, sweetheart, etc.
• Billy likes to pick you up and carry you around. Usually without warning.
• If you don’t already know how, he will make sure you can defend yourself. He’s managed to actually live a relatively quiet life since Rebecca let him escape, but better safe than sorry.

---

Lucas Baker (Resident Evil 7 Biohazard):
• If you've found yourself in a relationship with Lucas Baker, chances are that you knew him beforehand, or you were a victim-to-be of the Baker family that managed to intrigue him.
• Lucas likes to call you darlin’ and sweetheart.
• He acts like he doesn’t give a shit about cuddling, but if you rest your head on his chest or nestle your face into the crook of his neck, Lucas will always drape an arm around you and hold you closer.
• And when you wake up in the morning, you often find that you’ve mysteriously found your way into Lucas’ hold.
• He enjoys resting his legs on your lap.
• He texts you things when you’re sitting right next to him. Sometimes it’s something flirty, but it’s probably a shitty meme.
• Lucas definitely teases a lot.
• The two of you play video games together. If the game is something competitive, Lucas will probably resort to throwing your controller over to the other side of the room or blocking your view of the screen if you start winning too many times in a row.
• You also watch a lot of tv and movies together. On a couch, under an old ass blanket, with a load of snacks, which tend to be a bit more palatable than the… uh, things Marguerite cooks.
• Sometimes at night you and Lucas go up on the roof of the barn together, enjoy some whiskey or something, laugh about whatever, and throw things at any Molded that find their way into the backyard. Rocks, bottles, handfuls of bang snaps, whatever will get a reaction. Maybe if you’re cold (and real lucky) Lucas will let you wear his hoodie.
• If Lucas is ever in front of his monitors and happens to spot you on a camera, he enjoys scaring the shit out of you by unexpectedly talking through the speakers. What you hear has a 7/10 chance of being crude.
• He’ll frequently try and get you to help set up his puzzles and traps.
• He might even ask you to test out some of the less dangerous stuff… There isn’t much, of course.
• "C'mon, darlin'. I'd Like to see you try and crack this one."

Chapter Text

Ethan Winters (Resident Evil Village):

• Oftentimes, Ethan just wants to be held or hold someone he loves and doesn’t realize just how much until it’s happening.
• You start cuddling with this man and he’s frequently blown away by just how much he doesn’t ever want you to stop. It’s hard for him to wipe the soft grin off his face.
• Ethan loves when you run your fingers through his hair. He tends to do it to you as well (if he can).
• His favorite way to cuddle is to spoon.
• His preference leans slightly more towards being the one that’s getting held, but really, he'll be happy as long as he gets to be close to you.
• The man is a nuzzler. He nuzzles into the crook of your neck, your back, etc.
• He likes to press kisses against the tip of your nose when your guys’ position allows it.

Salvatore Moreau (Resident Evil Village):

• Due to his mutations, Sal can only lay on his side (with a specific arrangement of pillows and blankets), and there are only a couple of positions where he can comfortably cuddle with you.
• Boy does this man love cuddling with you, though! He is so touch-starved.
• His go-to is to cling to your upper back, an arm draped over your shoulder, and his legs hooked around your waist.
• Also loves when you both lay facing each other and simply clasp your hands together.
• Also, when you’re both sitting and you wrap your arms around one of his and rest your head against his shoulder? Maybe with your legs drawn up and one of your knees touching his thigh? Never pull away. Please.
• Sal is a bit shy when it comes to initiating, but after a bit of fumbling, he tends to just go for it if you aren’t picking up on what he’s trying to say.
• Be warned, he has cold feet.

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• Karl is not a cuddler (lie). He is not super touch-starved (a bigger lie).
• He definitely prefers to be the one holding you.
• He loves to have you lay on top of him like a weighted blanket. He’ll drape an arm over you and rest his head on his other.
• The man is constantly warm. You probably won’t need more than one blanket.
• If Karl falls asleep while cuddling, he doesn’t just fall asleep. He passes the fuck out. Good luck trying to wake him up. Or slip out of his grasp when you want to get a drink or something.
• He frequently rests his legs across your lap.
• He also does that thing where he slings an arm around your shoulders quite a bit.

Albert Wesker (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Cuddling? What is that? Wait. Let him step away and discreetly look it up.
• The first time you cuddle this man, he’s very much like, “Disgusting. You may do it again.”
• He’s also a bit stiff at first, but he relaxes after a minute.
• He’s usually not one to initiate the cuddling. When he wants to give you affection, physical contact just isn’t what his mind jumps to first.
• Generally prefers to be in positions where he gets to be sitting up.
• Albert’s got some ice-cold corpse hands so I hope you’re prepared to deal with that.

Ark Thompson (Resident Evil Survivor):

• One might look at Ark’s resting grumpy face and think, yeah, that man doesn’t cuddle.
• Wrong! Physical touch is one of his love languages and he’s all about cuddling.
• Loves spooning and prefers to be the big spoon.
• Ark’s legs will get tangled with yours when you sleep.
• Also enjoys it when you’re both sitting up and you sit with your back to his front, nestled in his arms.
• After a long day, he likes to rest his head on your lap.

Barry Burton (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• One of Barry’s favorite ways to relax is cuddling with you.
• Preferably on the couch and in front of the tv.
• Likes when you rest your head on his chest.
• If your hair’s long enough, you can expect Barry to tangle his fingers in it.
• He gives you little squeezes while he’s holding you. Little nonverbal I love yous, if you will.
• He’s very warm. Like a heated blanket.

Chapter Text

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• Karl is the sort of person who doesn't start using pet names until after he's been with you for a while.
• Uses stuff like darlin', doll, toots, sweets, sweetheart, birdie, lover boy.
• I can't talk about this without mentioning buttercup. That's his favorite one to use. It's canon.
• He likes to frequently do this thing where he'll say your name and then immediately follow it up with a pet name. E.g. "[insert name here], darlin', c'mere."

Carlos Oliveira (Resident Evil 3 REmake):

• Carlos and his pet names. Oh boy. Once you are in a relationship with this man, he will be using a gratuitous amount of them.
• His go-to is simply babe.
• Also uses stuff like sweetheart, beautiful, handsome, gorgeous, stud, cupcake, princess/prince.
• Does he use these more than your actual name? Yes. Yes, he does.
• Has no absolutely no problem calling you pet names in public if you let him get away with it.

Piers Nivans (Resident Evil 6):

• Despite the fact that Piers only uses pet names a casual amount, his library is extensive.
• Expect to be hearing sunshine, sweetheart, love, bug, peaches, muffin, pumpkin, peanut—can you tell he’s a fan of the food-related ones?
• Piers is just,,, a cheesy little man. He can’t help it.

Jake Muller (Resident Evil 6):

• Jake... isn’t too big on pet names, but that’s not to say that he doesn’t use any!
• He pretty much just sticks to babe and honey.
• Oh, no, wait. I lied.
• He also might affectionately call you an expletive. Asshole, dumbass, etc.

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• His favorites are stud and babe.
• Joseph also enjoys calling you anything he can tack “face” onto the end of. Dollface, sweetface, angelface, etc.
• I like to think he’d have a pet name for you related to an animal you remind him of, too.

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis):

• The thing Brad calls you most often is his sweet.
• Also, love.
• He won’t start using pet names until after you’ve been together for a while.

---

Barry Burton (Resident Evil 1 REmake):
• Barry’s the type of guy that calls you stuff like honey, pumpkin, honey bun, and baby.
• On occasion uses gorgeous or handsome.

---

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake)
• Chris doesn’t use pet names all that much.
• To be honest, I can only picture RE 1 Chris using babe. And usually after your name. Like “[insert name here], babe, take a look at this.”

---

Albert Wesker (Resident Evil 1 REmake):
• Albert exclusively uses pet names when you’re alone with him.
• His favorite thing to call you is his pet.
• Sometimes also calls you his darling or his dear.

Chapter Text

Ethan Winters (Resident Evil Village):

• Makeup is something Ethan’s never thought about putting on his face before, but he’s not opposed to it when you bring it up. Feel free!
• He’s a great canvas. His face is practically static while you work.
• He fiddles with and examines every product the moment you put it down.
• He’ll leave it on for a few hours after you’re finished. At some point after that, he accidentally messes it up.

Lucas Baker (Daughters):

• Fuck no. Not happening. No way in hell.
• If you want to do Lucas’ makeup, it’s gonna take some convincing and bribery. Only then will you get him sitting down in front of you, positively grouchy as you get your supplies out.
• Listen, you better enjoy this while it lasts because Lucas is wiping it off as soon as you’re done!

---

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake):
• Er... Chris is hesitant. He would rather not, but if you really want to, then alright. At least it gives him an excuse to spend time with you.
• It ends up being a challenge to put anything around his eyes because the man's eyelids won't stop twitching. He can't help it.
• Absolutely hates the way it all feels on his face. How do you put up with it?
• Chris doesn't really think makeup is for him, but he does admit that you did a good job afterward.

---

Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 2 REmake):
• Leon’s never worn makeup before, but he’s always kind of wanted to try it. Please do him up. He wants to know how he'd look.
• Goes in hard with the flirting throughout the process. He can't stop himself when you're all up in his business, and your look of concentration is adorable.
• If he likes the results enough, he'll probably ask you to teach him how to do it.
• (This is likely).

---

Richard Aiken (Resident Evil 1 REmake):
• Richard is down for that if you want to do it!
• He repeatedly asks to get a look before you’re finished. He’s slightly disappointed if you say no. For like, a few seconds.
• Alongside other conversation, Richard does ask a little about the process and what you’re using. He’s curious.
• Maybe you can take a picture with him after? You’re so talented, and he wants to brag to people who haven’t met you!

---

Billy Coen (Resident Evil 0):
• Yeah, not happening. Billy isn’t into that sort of stuff.
• With some pleading, you do eventually end up getting a, "...You know what? Fine."
• Just don't go too crazy, you hear?
• "You look so handsome."
• "Yeah, yeah..."
• He'll keep it on for ten minutes tops after you're finished.

---

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):
• HAHAHA—
• No.
• Oh, you were being serious? Well, that changes things!
• No.
• Cue Karl grumpily sitting in a chair with his arms crossed, unable to believe he's letting you do this.
• "What the hell is that?" you'll hear every single time you pick up something new.
• He pulls away slightly and won't stop blinking whenever you get near his eyes.

---

Salvatore Moreau (Resident Evil Village):
• Yes! Sal might've just shyly asked you if you never did. He's always wanted to try out makeup.
• He has a lot of questions about what you're doing. He wants to understand what you're using and how you're using it.
• Gets upset when he inevitably ruins your work. Can you fix it? Please?? Salvatore will be more careful this time.
• Absolutely lights up if you offer to show him how to do it himself.

Chapter Text

Lucas Baker (Resident Evil 7 Biohazard):

• Lucas wears his hoodie so often that snagging it comes with a bit of a challenge. Luckily, you can be pretty damn sneaky. That’s sort of a requirement when you live near the Baker property.
• When you see the clothing item in question hanging off the back of a desk chair, Lucas’ back facing you as he’s hunched over in front of his monitors? You figure that this is an opportune moment.
• You slip that sucker off while he’s busy taunting the newest trespasser unfortunate enough to be pitted against his puzzles, pulling it on as you quietly leave the room.
• It takes about a half-hour for Lucas to notice.
• Somebody’s gotta be trying to get on his nerves, he thinks.
• You’ve fallen asleep with the hoodie on.
• …
• Okay. Alright.
• Truly, honestly, if it were anyone else, Lucas would be pissed. You’re the exception, though. You’re always the exception.
• And… dammit, the sight of you in something of his is adorable as all hell. Lucas just stands there and stares at you for a moment.
• He’s going to leave you be until he needs it again, which will be the moment he has to head back from the salt mine and see someone aside from you.
• Listen. Leaving without his hoodie would be like leaving without his phone. Or something sharp.
• In the meantime, Lucas is going to snap a picture and slink off to go screw with his victim some more.

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• Karl is, as per usual, working on a project while you’re wandering around the factory with no particular destination in mind.
• Then, you spot it: A familiar duster draped over a workbench, abandoned alongside a hat and white shirt.
• You’ve been tempted to put on some of Karl's things before, but you have yet to actually do it.
• …Until now, that is. You grin, not wasting a second more before stealing the duster and donning it.
• It takes Karl an embarrassingly long time to notice what you have on. He’s just so absorbed in what he’s doing—and you’re messing about in the background while you talk.
• Karl asks you to hand him a particular tool.
• Said tool enters his field of vision in your grasp, and…
• Hold on a minute.
• Karl lifts his head. His expression is neutral, but you’re making his mind go a mile a minute.
• First things first, he makes a mental note to leave more of his clothes around for you to wear because holy shit? This sight is one Karl is already fairly certain he’ll never tire of.
• Satisfaction stirs deep within him. This feels like further confirmation of just how comfortable and close you are with him.
• He tells you that his clothes are a good look on you and that you ought to wear them more often, which certainly won’t be the last compliment you’ll hear about your current outfit.

Chapter Text

Richard Aiken (Resident Evil the Umbrella Chronicles):

• He often greets you with hugs and doesn't part ways without giving you one first.
• Expect his face to end up buried in the crook of your neck.
• He'll gently rock you side to side.

Edward Dewey (Resident Evil 0):

• When you're in Edward's hold, you feel like you're being cocooned.
• His big strong arms lock securely around your waist.
• His tall 6'4" ass will probably curl around you. As in, his upper chest/head ends up leaning over you like a roof.
• He enjoys coming up behind you to hug you.

Enrico Marini (Resident Evil 0):

• Enrico doesn't hand out too many hugs, but if he gives you one, it's going to be a heartily tight embrace.
• There is a slight possibility that you're going to feel like the air is being squeezed out of you.
• He tends to grasp your shoulders first. Then, he pulls you closer to him.
• It'll probably be a while before he lets you go.

Forest Speyer (Resident Evil Deadly Silence):

• Forest goes into hugs with just... a lot of energy. Almost like you're being tackled! But more enjoyable. An advanced bear hug, if you will.
• He holds you nice and tight. It feels as though you're wrapped up in a blanket burrito style.
• He likes to do this thing where he leans back far enough to lift you off the ground. Then, he'll swing you side to side a bit.
• He might even go so far as to spin you around in a full circle.

Kenneth Sullivan (Resident Evil 0):

• If Kenny gives you a hug, you probably either asked him for one, or he asked if he could.
• He won't pull away until you do.
• His hold is gentle yet firm. It's very easy to relax into.
• He might just rub some soothing circles on your back.

Barry Burton (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Barry's hugs are almost always preceded by a "C'mere."
• He holds you nice and tight. It's like being wrapped up in a weighted blanket, and you feel... safe.
• His hugs tend to be a bit on the longer side. He likes them to last.
• Oftentimes, he'll let out a contented sigh or rock the both of you side to side.
• You'll be receiving a lot of side hugs from him as well.

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• If you hug Joseph, he is hugging you back in an instant. The man's a hugger.
• He gives full-on bear hugs.
• Prepare yourself for the possibility of momentarily being lifted into the air during the hug.
• He likes to give you a squeeze or two before releasing you.
• Half of the time, you get snuck up on and hugged from behind.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• While Chris' hugs don't last all that long, they aren't brief either.
• He pulls you towards him and into his hold.
• There's a chance he'll give you a few pats on the back before letting go.
• Or you might feel his fingers thread through the hair at the nape of your neck.
• He'll grasp your shoulders for a moment before fully pulling away.

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis):

• Brad doesn't often initiate. Mostly out of shyness.
• Hugs put a big smile on his face, though. He usually closes his eyes too.
• He simply... melts into your hugs. Fully relaxes and leans against you a little.
• You might just feel him rest his chin on your shoulder/the top of your head, or half-bury his face in the crook of your neck.
• He tends to pull away way sooner than he wants to.

Albert Wesker (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Albert will not hesitate to push you off with a dry "no" if he doesn't like you, which is probable.
• He almost certainly won't even let you get within hugging range.
• However, if this man does let you hug him, he must really like you. A lot.
• There's a good chance you'll have to initiate.
• It's awkward the first time. And brief. Albert is about as stiff as a board. He slowly puts his arms around your waist and they hover for a few seconds, not actually touching you.
• Over time, he starts to relax, and his hold is loose and comfortable.

Chapter Text

Carlos Oliveira (Resident Evil 3 REmake):

• Carlos is a super cuddly guy. He loves to hold you. So much.
• His favorite kind of cuddles are sleepy cuddles. When he’s on the verge of falling asleep and holds you like a teddy bear, then he gets to wake up to you in his arms? That’s one of his favorite things.
• With the way he often holds you, you’re in the optimum position to press your face into his chest.
• He can and will rest his chin on top of your head. But, not before giving you a lil’ forehead kiss.

Billy Coen (Resident Evil 0):

• Billy is the sort of guy you hardly ever have to ask about cuddling. The answer is usually yes, he does want to cuddle his girlfriend. He’s more touch-starved than he’s willing to admit.
• Speaking of, he kind of has a hard time asking at first. What you frequently end up getting is a gruff “c’mere?” and him holding his arms out.
• As time goes on, Billy becomes the one that initiates most frequently.
• He’s so tense most of the time. Nearly always on guard. But when Billy holds you, he completely relaxes. You’re one of very few people that he feels comfortable being vulnerable around.
• The likelihood of him falling asleep during cuddling is high.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Chris doesn’t often initiate, but he’ll gladly hold you if you want.
• Generally, he prefers positions where he gets to be sitting up.
• Like, when Chris is sitting and gets to have your back pressed against his front, his arms around your waist, and chin resting on your shoulder/the top of your head? That's his favorite.
• Also enjoys it when he gets to have you half laying on his chest.
• His hands often sneak up under your shirt to rest on the bare skin of your waist.
• He has cold hands, though. And feet, while we're kind of on the topic. Hope you’re prepared for that.

Richard Aiken (Resident Evil the Umbrella Chronicles):

• When Richard wants to cuddle, you'll often hear something along the lines of "Can I hold you, Sunshine?"
• If he could have it his way, you'd pretty much always be in Richard's arms.
• He often hums when he's cuddling with you.
• If he's able to, he'll card his fingers through your hair.
• Also, scalp massages. Richard likes to give those.

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis):

• Brad is almost never not in the mood to cuddle with his girlfriend.
• He's a little shy when he asks at first, but both of you manage to be pretty 50/50 about initiating.
• When you both end up holding hands or even simply placing one on top of the other, Brad likes to give you a kiss on the back of your hand.
• He generally prefers to be the one that's being held, and he also likes to be facing you.
• A lot of leg tangling happens when you cuddle with him.

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Joey is a very physically affectionate guy and often the initiator.
• He tends to cuddle you like a sloth, wrapping both his arms and legs around you.
• If you let him get away with it, he’ll occasionally interrupt what you’re doing, start cuddling you, and be like “pretend I’m not even here”.
• He likes to nuzzle your shoulder and neck.
• If he falls asleep and you want to get up, good luck managing to free yourself. It's like you're both covered in velcro.

Forest Speyer (Resident Evil 0):

• Cuddling with Forest is like cuddling with a hot water bottle. He is warm.
• He shifts around a lot during cuddle sessions. It’s hard for him to be still for long. He’ll play with your hair (if he can), fiddle with the hem of your top, etc.
• If you’re standing when the question of cuddling pops up, Forest will pick you up and carry you over his shoulder to the bed or couch.
• Loves when you bury your face in the crook of his neck.

Edward Dewey (Resident Evil 0):

• Edward...
• Big Man Edward is a gentle cuddler. Unless you request otherwise, he holds you rather loosely.
• He enjoys absentmindedly tracing patterns onto your skin and stroking his thumb over your knuckles while cuddling.
• Also likes to press feather-light kisses against your shoulder, jaw, and temple.
• Pretty 50/50 when it comes to initiating. He does it about as much as you do.
• His favorite position is simply having his chest pressed against your back.

Chapter Text

Salvatore Moreau (Resident Evil Village):

• You noticed that Salvatore didn’t exactly have a whole lot in terms of tops. Just his trenchcoat. It’s not exactly easy for him to find things to wear with his mutations, so you decided to make him something.
• When you present the sweater to Salvatore, he’s a little confused and surprised. You got him something? No, you made him something? Did he forget a holiday? Oh no, he doesn’t have anything for you!
• You explain that it isn’t a holiday, you just thought he might like a sweater. He doesn’t have to get you anything in return.
• You were correct in thinking that Sal would like it. He starts crying. Full-on sobbing, really. He’s going to need a minute. Or a few.
• The sweater is so nice. You’re so nice.
• Eventually, Salvatore gives you a watery smile and a thank you.
• You have to help him a little with putting it on.
• Sal wears the sweater around a lot. Sometimes with his trenchcoat over it, sometimes without. He’s even shown up to a few Lords meetings with it on.

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• Honestly, Karl isn’t quite sure how to react.
• You just kind of walked up to him while he was working and went, “Here. I made this for you.”
• At first, he’s like, “A sweater??”
• But Karl likes the gift more than he expected himself to.
• More than he’s willing to admit.
• He gruffly thanks you, but not before finding some way to tease you for liking him enough to make him a whole ass sweater. You can’t not expect him to be a bit of a bastard (™) (affectionate) when you do stuff like that.
• It goes on under the duster only.
• You see Karl wearing it around his factory sometimes. He has to ask you to darn a few holes that end up in it.

Chapter Text

Carlos Oliveira (Resident Evil 3 REmake):

• Carlos is a big fan of doing the simple things with you, such as grocery shopping. (Would you be surprised if I told you that he likes to carry all of the bags himself? He wants to show off to you).
• He enjoys taking you to fairs and carnivals for dates. He's determined to win you a prize every time, of course.
• Also loves a classic dinner and movie date.
• While it's not something Carlos would ever go out and do himself, I firmly believe that if you wanted to get a manicure/pedicure, he'd join you.
• He gets it if it isn't your thing, but he'd love to go to the gym/jogging with you.
• The man is a real romantic. The kind of guy to leave you a trail of rose petals when you get home.

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Joseph's idea of a fun date is simply playing some video games with you. Break out the Playstation or N64!
• Alternatively, gathering an absurd amount of snacks and drinks, getting under a blanket, and watching a flick. Joseph will watch any genre, but he prefers horror, and his favorite horror movie is Cujo. Don't worry, he'll hold you if you get scared.
• Joseph is big on out of the blue dates.
• Maybe when you guys are both free in the morning, you can hit a doughnut shop together. Joseph knows a place where they're heavenly.
• You can bet your ass that if he ever catches wind of a magic show happening, he's taking you to it. He will beg you to go with him. Joseph loves magic,,, so much.
• You can also bet that every time he learns a new trick, he'll try to impress you with it.
• If you’re dating this man, you better expect a semi-decent amount of light and loving teasing.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Like Joey, generally speaking, Chris is a fan of spontaneous dates.
• He’s fond of driving around with you with no particular destination in mind. Pit stops to get food and/or makeout are optional, but preferred.
• Sometimes you go on nature trails or small hikes together.
• There's a drive-in movie theater he likes taking you to.
• Please let Chris take you fishing. Or just like... out on the lake together. He loves the water.
• Maybe you could go to a baseball game with him? Or a hockey game?
• Man loves seeing you in his clothes. Please wear his things.

Forest Speyer (Resident Evil 0):

• Please let him take you out on his motorcycle. Forest loves riding around while you have your arms wrapped around his middle.
• There are hole-in-the-wall restaurants around the city he enjoys taking you to. They're special to him and it's like he's letting you in on a secret.
• He likes to hit the bar with you.
• Also, partying. There is a decent chance that Joseph and/or Chris will make an appearance as well.
• He usually sings along to the radio and tries to get you to join him. It's okay if you can't sing well, Forest can't really either.
• Forest will a hundred percent take you to a shooting range as a date. And he'll teach you how to use a gun if you don't already know how.

Edward Dewey (Resident Evil 0):

• As far as dates go, Edward's favorite type is simply taking you to sit-down restaurants.
• Also, places where he can dance with you, of course. He isn't big on clubs (they're just... a lot), so he finds other places. Oftentimes you two just dance in the living room with the radio playing in the background.
• He loves cooking and baking with you. On occasion, you have a small picnic together afterward.
• He takes you to museums. Art, history, science, etc. Take your pick!
• You go to random one-time classes together. Like pottery or woodworking.
• He enjoys braiding your hair. If he can and you'll allow him, that is.
• Edward is the kind of guy to get you flowers every now and again just because, or see something in a shop that reminds him or you buy it as a surprise.

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 Nemesis):

• Brad is the sort of guy who likes to play board games with you as a date. And they're usually ones you've never even heard of.
• He also enjoys simple coffee shop dates.
• And going on little walks with you. Especially during autumn.
• You both like to do this thing where you go to a shopping outlet or mall together, separate, buy something you think the other person will like, and then meet up and present it to see the reaction.
• More than anything, Brad’s content to simply cuddle and talk while the TV plays in the background.
• If you call him cute, adorable, or anything similar, he never fails to get flustered.
• Maybe once a week, Brad picks up food on his way home from work and you have a lil' candlelit dinner at home.

Richard Aiken (Resident Evil 1 REmake):

• Richard often enjoys surprising you with dates.
• He loves going swimming with you at the lake.
• He likes taking you to the Racoon City Zoo.
• Also, to the bowling alley. Better prepare yourself, though, Richie is a good bowler.
• Will you stargaze with him? And maybe do a bit of cuddling?
• Firmly believe Richard would want to share a milkshake with you. Sitting beside you/across from you in a restaurant, two straws, sharing fond looks, the whole shebang.
• He'd probably take you to a roller rink, too.
• He gives great shoulder massages, I think.

Billy Coen (Resident Evil 0):

• I think I've already said this before, but Billy prefers more relaxed activities. He's had more than enough excitement in his life already.
• Whenever he goes poking around the wilderness and finds a nice spot, he likes to go back to it with you.
• Can you watch the sunset with him?
• He enjoys just sitting outside the house with you and chilling. Perhaps with a bit of alcohol.
• This man... is a tired man. Let him take a nap with you, please.
• There's a middle-of-nowhere diner you two end up becoming regulars at.

Chapter Text

Salvatore Moreau (Resident Evil Village):

• Salvatore is so excited when he sees you coming back to the reservoir with Hewie. He loves dogs! He’s grinning so hard.
• You want to keep him? Sal wants that too!
• He used to have a beagle when he was a boy. She was his best friend, and he hasn’t truly had the companionship of a pet since she died. Lycans just aren’t the same.
• Hewie follows Sal just about everywhere, both on land and water.
• You know how most dogs love car rides? Hewie loves boat rides.
• Sal gives him tons of kisses on the crown of his head.
• He likes to sprawl out across both you and Sal’s laps. Especially when it’s movie night.
• During those nights, Sal likes to explain what you’re both watching to him.
• One day, Salvatore comes back from a Lord’s meeting and Hewie is waiting for him with a gift. It’s a rock. Sal tears up a little and puts it on a shelf.
• It becomes a regular thing for Hewie to present gifts to both of you whenever you return home.
• Yes, Sal does keep all of them.
• (So do you).
• Hewie often hides under Sal’s trenchcoat.

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• If you want to keep that thing, it’s going to be your responsibility entirely. You’re cleaning up after it, feeding it, keeping it out of places it shouldn’t be, etc.
• That's okay with you!
• Unless Hewie ends up being some sort of bioweapon that can obliterate Miranda, Karl doesn’t think he’s going to get too attached.
• That lasts for about half of Hewie’s first day at the factory.
• Karl is working when Hewie comes over and stares up at him.
• “What do you want?"
• Hewie sets his head down on Karl's lap.
• "I'm busy."
• When you find them later, Hewie is laying on some sort of blanket nest Karl's thrown together and gnawing on a mystery bone. Karl is complaining to him about the other Lords while he works.
• Karl and Hewie end up becoming the epitome of "a dog is a man's best friend".
• The first time that Hewie gets to meet Alcina, he starts growling at her. Karl is delighted.
• "Get your mutt under control."
• "Hey, he's just picking up on what a massive bitch you are. That's not my fault!"
• Karl starts showing you and Hewie whenever he finishes another project.
• He makes a custom metal nameplate for Hewie's collar.

Chapter Text

Raymond Vester (Resident Evil Revelations):

• You're probably going to have to be the first one to admit to having feelings. If not, you'll likely be waiting quite a while for Raymond to stop pretending there's nothing between you two.
• He prefers to express his affection through actions more than anything else. Leaving little gifts for you, picking up food from your favorite place on the way home, running quick errands for you, etc.
• Raymond can be a bit oblivious when it comes to flirting. However, when he does pick up on it, you're almost guaranteed to make his pale face flush as red as his hair. He doesn't know how to handle it.
• He's slow to start using pet names with you. You might hear angel, babe, or sweetheart once he does.
• Raymond has a begrudging love for being the little spoon. If you ask if you can hold him, his "yeah, sure" will be surprisingly eager and you'll have a hard time getting him to move after.
• He enjoys having an arm around your waist or an arm linked with his when you two walk together.
• The man is very observant when it comes to you. He knows where you like certain things to be put, how you prefer your coffee (or other drink of choice) to be prepared... Small things like that. He doesn't need to ask, he already knows.
• His favorite kinds of dates are the simple ones. A stroll through the park or downtown, eating takeout by candlelight, browsing at a store, and other things in a similar vein.
• His kisses are low, and his hands tend to gravitate toward your hips.

Chapter Text

Karl Heisenberg (Resident Evil Village):

• You were a bit nervous telling Karl.
• You do have to explain what asexuality is because his initial response is “The hell does that mean?”
• But once you do, once you go over what you are and aren’t comfortable with, he’s... really understanding.
• Listen.
• Karl can be a bit of a bastard(™), but he is sure as hell not going to force anything on you or wittingly make you uncomfortable.
• He loves you and cares a lot about you.
• Spending time in your presence, meaningful touches, having conversations... That’s all Karl really needs.
• Sure, he is broody, intimidating, and all that, but he’s also secretly a softie that craves hugs and cuddles more than anything else.

Chapter Text

Joseph Frost (Resident Evil 1):

Arklay Mountains. It’s the evening of July 24, 1998. Led by Captain Wesker, you and four other members of the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team are searching for signs of Bravo team and pilot Kevin Dooley, with whom contact was lost the day prior.

You trudge through the tall grass, gun unholstered and flashlight scanning over every dark shape in your path.

A persistent sense of unease hangs in the air. You’d be hard-pressed to think of another time you’ve felt so on edge while on the job.

There's shifting behind you. You whip your head around.

Joseph is standing there with his gun. "Jumpy?" he teases half-heartedly. You roll your eyes at him and resume what you were doing.

"Hey... wait a sec..." He motions for you to come over.

"What is it?" You point your light down as you approach. It catches a metal object laying in the grass between you. It's a gun. A standard-issue Beretta.

Joseph bends down to pick it up, which is when you realize that it's attached to something.

It's...

It's a hand.

A human hand with no human attached to it.

Joseph drops the severed part in shock. Both of you jolt away from it with a yelp.

Upon further inspection, realize that you know who it used to belong to. You recognize the fingerless glove and the wristwatch. They're part of a S.T.A.R.S. uniform. More specifically, the uniform of Edward Dewey from Bravo team.

For a moment, the only thing you can hear is the wind and your heart pounding in your ears. You can do nothing but stare in disbelief.

There have been a lot of deaths lately. Gruesome ones. You’ve seen the crime scene photos. You’ve seen the crime scenes. They’re difficult to stomach. But the feeling that washes over you here and now is particularly visceral. Every last drop of blood in your body has run cold. You feel dangerously close to hurling.

Edward is someone you see almost every day. He...

He’s a great man. A friend of yours.

He can’t be...

You finally manage to tear your gaze away and look at Joseph.

“...Eddie can still be kicking,” he says blankly. “Guy doesn’t need both hands to live.”

Yeah.

Yeah, Edward can still be out there. Alive. Hopefully. He's tough...

...

Is that...

...growling you're hearing?

Out of the corner of your eye, you realize something—multiple somethings are rapidly approaching. Joseph notices just a beat later than you do.

“Joey, watch out!” With all of your might, you shove your partner out of harm’s way. He hits the ground.

A bloody creature collides with you, its sharp teeth sinking into the exposed skin of your forearm. You cry out, wrenching your arm to the side in a desperate attempt to make it release you. It does, tearing a chunk of flesh away in the process, and quickly latches back on.

A second beast joins in, causing you to lose your balance and fall.

Followed by another one.

And another.

And another.

There are so many. They look like dogs and smell like rotting corpses, but you aren't paying much attention to that. You're in so much pain, it's difficult to think. They're quite literally eating you alive and all you can manage to do is flail about, weakly attempting to get them off.

Joseph shouts your name in alarm, scrambling to pick up his gun. His weapon-mounted light illuminates the mass of creatures pinning you down. Blood and viscera glisten.
He fires round after round, trying to kill them.

Jill, Barry, Chris, and Wesker rush over to help.

Your screams abruptly stop, cut off by an awful, strangled, gurgling noise as a set of teeth manage to rip your throat out.

"No!" Joseph keeps firing, unable to process it all. Just because you've gone quiet doesn't mean you're dead, right? Right? There's a chance you're still alive. There has to be! "Get off! Get off!"

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

"Joseph, it's too late!" Chris grabs Joseph's shoulder, trying to make him stop. Joseph won't. "We have to go!"

This can't be happening. This can't be real. You're not gone. You're not!

The remaining beasts turn their attention toward the rest of the team.

Finally, Chris and Barry seize Joseph by the back of his tactical vest and physically drag him along as they start running. He doesn't stop calling your name, doesn't stop reaching for you even as your body becomes further and further away from them.

"Brad!" Chris shouts as their helicopter abandons them. "Brad! Where's he going?!"

This night can't get any worse. They end up seeking refuge in a mansion. The moment Jill slams the doors shut and locks them, Joseph plops down on the floor, breathing hard and cradling his head in his hands.

He can't believe it. You're gone just like that. It all happened so fast... And if you hadn't done what you did, it would've been him instead.

He wishes it were him instead. His eyes begin to burn.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 6):

"We're picking up a large bogey on radar. It's heading right for you!"

Just when you thought shit had already hit the fan, that message came through on comms and not even a minute later, a tandem rotor helicopter appeared, dropping off another absolutely massive—probably a good thirty feet tall—B.O.W. onto the team's already full plate.

Echo needs three anti-aircraft guns taken out before further help can be given, so everyone tries to provide cover for Finn as he sets the charges needed to blow them up.

The wrecked buildings around you provide little cover from the ogroman, which is intent on crushing the lot of you.

Chris points out a weakness that can be exploited: Soft, exposed red flesh around where a big metal connector is sticking out of its back.

You and a few others distract the beast with bullets. Chris manages to leap onto its back while you do so, ripping out a bit of protruding bone and driving it straight into the weak point. The process is rinsed and repeated a few times before the ogroman dies, dissolving into a foul-smelling, steaming goop that leaves you coughing.

Two anti-aircraft guns down, one more to go.

Everyone's comms crackle. "There's another giant B.O.W. closing in on your location!"

A loud roar rings out.

A massive hand grabs onto a rooftop, sending shingles raining down onto a few j'avo.

"It's the one we lost at the Two of Hearts," Piers points out.

Chris orders the team to prepare to engage. You follow Finn to the last gun, making use of an underground passage that leads you into another building. When you're standing on the top floor, the target of the objective comes into view, sitting on the ground below beside a barricade.

"Let's try to make this quick."

The ogroman has other plans.

Finn and Piers, a little ways ahead of you, head down the ladder.

You and Chris are stepping out from behind a partially destroyed wall when it turns and spots you there.

The two of you begin to unload your clips into it, not getting too many hits on that weak spot thanks to the way it's positioned itself.

Click.

Click.

Click.

"I'm out!" you announce.

"Me too," Chris says. "Look out!"

A massive hand shoots out toward you.

You both dive out of the way in time. You land back behind the wall, and Chris is still out in the open stretch. Another hole is smashed into the building.

The ogroman draws its arm back, then raises it up and prepares to sweep it across.

"Chris!" You don't even think, you just act, launching yourself back onto your feet and sprinting toward him. It'll hit him if you're not quick enough!

The arm grows closer.

With mere seconds to spare, you shove Chris back to the floor.

All the wind is knocked out of you as the ogroman makes contact, sending you sailing straight over the edge.

You make a graceful arc before colliding harshly with the pavement down below.

"Shit!" Chris shouts your name in alarm.

He needs to get to you.

"Cover me!"

He slides down the ladder while other members of the team show up to keep the ogroman busy.

A red puddle has begun to form beneath you. By some miracle, you're still responsive, but only barely.

"You're gonna be alright. You're gonna make it. Just hold on, okay?" Chris begins to drag you over to cover. You let out a groan, unable to process any of what you're hearing. "I need you here." Speaking into his comm, he calls for urgent first aid.

Before long, your feeble movements begin to peter out. Chris feels his stomach drop.

"No... No, come on. You have to stay with me. You have to!" You mean so much to him. He can't lose you. He can't. Not like this.

One last raspy, rattling breath leaves your lips before you're gone.

The grief, the devastation is like an instant weight settling upon Chris' shoulders. He slams his fists against the ground and cries out, leaning down to rest his head against your chest.

This is his fault... He'll never forgive himself.

Brad Vickers (Resident Evil 3 REmake):

"Pizza's here," you announce, shutting the apartment door with your foot. It's late in the evening, and you and Brad decided to call in and order one for dinner.

(Both of you also went ahead and ordered one for Brad's friend, Jill, who has scarcely left her home since being suspended. Brad would've been as well, had he joined in on the shouting match she and three other S.T.A.R.S. members got into with Chief Irons over the mansion incident. You know Brad still feels guilty about it).

"Brad. Pizza." You pop open the box and waft it in front of his face before placing it on the coffee table. He snaps out of it and sends you a small smile.

"You pick out something for us to watch already?"

"Uh-huh." He places the TV Guide down and picks up the remote. "They're showing one of our favorite flicks tonight, actually."

"Yeah? Which one?" You plop down beside him on the couch with a few paper plates in hand.

...

Hours have passed, and you've fallen asleep living room. The movie has long since ended, the remaining half of dinner is sitting abandoned, and Brad is snoring lightly beside you. You might've remained that way until morning...

...if not for a loud noise from somewhere on the street below waking you up.

You slowly straighten up, removing your head from your partner's shoulder.

Then, you begin to process the not-so-distant sounds of chaos. There are sirens and people screaming.

'What is going on...?'

An orange glow is bleeding from around the edges of the drawn curtains. You get up and pull them open. Multiple fires are burning.

You hurriedly wake Brad. "Hey. Something is wrong," you tell him as you drag him over to the window. "Very, very wrong. Look."

"Holy shit." He blanches. "We need to go."

You throw on a coat and shoes while Brad puts on his S.T.A.R.S. getup. He grabs his Beretta. All you have is a pocket knife.

The two of you make your way out of the apartment, hurriedly heading down the corridor and into the stairwell.

When you reach the emergency exit at the bottom of the stairs, you encounter a problem. Before Brad even gets the chance to push the door open, something rips it off the hinges. It's a huge figure clad head to toe in a black outfit, which is dotted with small yellow hazard symbols and staples.

"S.T.A.R.S...." it growls.

After a moment's hesitation, Brad seizes you by your sleeve and begins to high-tail it toward the front of the building. Time to try the front doors instead.

The thing gives chase. It's fast. Surprisingly so.

Brad aims his gun over his shoulder and opens fire. The bullets appear to have no effect. Not good.

It lifts its hand. A thin tentacle shoots out quick as lightning, wrapping around one of Brad's ankles and tripping him up. He lands harshly on the floor, his weapon slipping from his grasp. It begins to drag him.

"Help!"

You stagger to a stop, whipping around and grabbing hold of him. All that accomplishes is making the pursuer pull you along as well.

"Let go of him!" You take your blade and slice the appendage in two. The half still attached to it retreats. You help Brad up.

"S.T.A.R.S.!"

A new tentacle pops out of its sleeves. The moment you catch a glimpse of it, you put yourself directly behind Brad.

Rougher than before, the pursuer swings its arm back, yanking you over to it.

"Brad, run!"

Brad doesn't. He freezes in place.

It picks you up by your face, squeezing so tightly that it feels as though your skull might shatter. You struggle. "Run! Before it gets y—" Your sentence is cut off by the tentacle going straight through your mouth and out the back of your head.

You're tossed aside, dead as dead can be.

You land facing Brad, your face stained red and your eyes wide open. He feels himself begin to shake.

Then, he runs.

This can't be happening. This seriously can't be happening!

He should have stepped in to help you. Doubly so after you had done that for him.

He should have done something. Anything but just stand there! What the hell is wrong with him?!

'Oh, god...'

When it seems that he's finally lost the pursuer, Brad slumps against the wall and slides down it until he's sitting. Alone in a random building, he cries harder than he has in a long time. He's so incredibly angry with himself for practically letting that happen.

There's a hole in his heart where you used to be that can simply never be filled again. You're gone. Gone. He can't believe it...

Barry Burton (Resident Evil Gaiden):

As the Starlight slowly sinks into the waters below, explosions rattle it, illuminating the pitch-black night sky with bright oranges and yellows. You, Barry, Leon, and Lucia stand safely aboard the deck of the Umbrella submarine Barry hijacked. Admittedly, you're still a little mad that he scared you again. A few years back, when you were both part of S.T.A.R.S., he pretended to betray you and the others the same way Wesker had.

He did it to protect your daughters and kept the ruse up long enough for Wesker to let his guard down. Tonight, he pulled a similar stunt. He made a fake deal with Umbrella and acted as though he was going to hand Lucia over to them, abandoning you and Leon on the ocean liner in the process.

"Sorry, honey," Barry says, noticing the sour look on your face. "I couldn't risk them finding out."

You sigh. "No, I get it. I just can't believe I fell for it again, even if only briefly."

"I guess I must be that good of an actor, huh?"

"I wouldn't go that far," you tease lightly. "It was just the panic of it all..."

"Ouch." Barry puts on a hurt expression.

Somewhere behind you, you hear the crackle of a radio. "Hey, I'm finally getting through to headquarters," Leon announces.

Barry places a hand on Lucia's shoulder. "I'm sure Polly and Moira will be excited to meet their new sister."

Lucia's eyes widen. "You guys were being serious?"

"Of course!" Your hand lands on her free shoulder. "Welcome to the family."

She grins. A genuine, happy-as-can-be grin.

"HQ, this is Leon. Mission accomplished. We're heading home."

You glance behind you in an attempt to see Leon, but he's standing closer to Barry. Your gaze only finds his shadow. You look away.

Over the sound of the rain and explosions, your ears manage to pick on a subtle gurgling noise.

Once again, you turn your head. The shadow is beginning to change. It's distorting and growing.

With dawning horror, you realize that all of the B.O.W.s haven't been eradicated, that it isn't actually Leon standing with you guys, that he's probably still aboard the Starlight.

"We aren't out of the woods yet!" is all you can manage in warning before the Tyrant finishes turning into its true form, red, intestine-like tentacles shooting out of the wide cavity in its stomach.

Barry doesn't even get the chance to fully pull his magnum from its holster before you throw yourself into the path of danger.

Rather than your husband, the appendages end up grabbing you instead. With how your arms end up pinned to your sides, you can't grab your pistol or knife to try and free yourself.

Panic instantly tightens itself around Barry's lungs. "Good god! Lucia, get inside!" He opens fire on the monster, desperate to make it release you.

It swings you all around, making it difficult for him to get a clean shot. It slowly but surely begins to squeeze you.

A big gray forearm collides with Barry, sending both him and his weapon flying across the deck.

The monster leaps off the sub and into the cold ocean, slowly sinking.

"No, no, no!" Barry practically throws himself over the railing, grasping it with one hand and desperately grabbing for you with the other. Just barely, he manages to take hold of your webbing.

The monster tightens its grip and there's an audible crack. You stop struggling.

...

Barry stills, his fingers going slack. He can't breathe, can't believe it. The devastation hits like a sucker punch to the gut.

Your body fully disappears into the dark waters. This is one of his worst nightmares.

He curses, banging his fist against the sub. It should have been him, not you! Why did you do that?

...He knows the answer. It's because he means as much to you as you do to him.

He knows he would've risked himself like that too if the roles were swapped.

He wishes that they were. What is he meant to do without you?

Albert Wesker (Resident Evil the Umbrella Chronicles):

By all accounts, Albert Wesker should be dead. Instead, he's woken up as something else. Something more than human.

And now, he needs to leave this place before it turns into a pile of burning rubble. It isn't clear how much time is left before the self-destruct sequence goes off, but it ought to be enough for him to make it back out the doors.

Most of the bioweapons are easy enough to take out and get past. There is, however, one problem—one nuisance that is refusing to leave him alone: Lisa Trevor. She's followed him all the way back up to the mansion proper. Since she doesn't have the good sense to give up, he's had to take a different route in an attempt to lose her.

Finally, he thinks he might have. The exit is close. Just down the stairs, in fact. He can see it.

A door behind him flies open. He turns, tightening his finger on the trigger of his Samurai Edge.

"Captain Wesker!"

Oh. It's only you.

Albert is pleased to see that you've made it this far. Not that there was much doubt in his mind that you would. You're one of the best S.T.A.R.S. has to offer when it comes to your combat abilities.

"Where'd—" Your eyes widen before your features twist in concern. "What the hell happened to you?"

It's evident that you haven't run into Jill, Chris, Barry, or Rebecca since everything that happened down in the basement labs. This could work to his advantage. He was hoping to have you join him.

Sparing a glance at the absurd amount of red staining the front of his tactical vest, Albert tells you, "It's nothing serious."

You head closer and stare at him incredulously. It's a lot of blood. As in, more than should be outside of anyone's body if they're still alive. Maybe not all of is his? He isn't acting like he's injured.

"...Alright, if you say so," you reply, unable to shake your worry completely.

"Come with me. We're leaving." Without waiting for another second, Albert starts heading down the stairs.

"But what about the others?"

"There's no point in going after them now,'" he answers vaguely. "I'll explain everything once we get outside."

You hesitate for a moment before beginning to follow him...

...Only to be stopped moments later by an awful, raspy moan and a hunched figure hobbling into the entrance hall with surprising speed.

'What is that?!'

It's clad in a raggedy blue medical gown, wearing a mask that appears to be made of stitched-together human faces, and making a beeline for Albert.

He moves to pull out the gun he just reholstered.

The monster hunches further. A load of worm-like tendrils shoot out of its back.

Everything seems to be happening in slow motion. Wordlessly, you throw yourself between the two of them in order to save your captain from further injury,

As though they were sharp knives, two of the tendrils pierce straight through you. One through your stomach, and another through your chest. You land in a limp pile on the marble floor, blood pouring from your wounds and past your lips.

...

No...

No, this won't do at all.

White-hot anger slowly begins to crawl through Albert's veins.

"You have no idea how grave of a mistake you've just made."

Yet again, he deals with her, this time ensuring that it will be the last time. You watch through half-lidded eyes, unable to truly process any of it. You're teetering dangerously on the edge of nothingness and it's far too late for you to be saved.

Albert just about unloads the rest of his ammunition into Lisa, saving his last bullet so that he can send the chandelier crashing upon her.

"Be a good girl and stay dead." He sneers, then turns to you.

You're already dead. He picks you up.

"Don't worry, my dear. I'll fix this. I will help you rise from the ashes as I did. I will make you something more."

Lucas Baker (Resident Evil 7 Biohazard):

• "Lu, what the hell? Now you're just cheating!"
• Lucas only cackles. The old couch you're both sitting on creaks loudly as he shifts to the far end to avoid your outstretched hand, which is trying desperately to grab the controller he snatched from you moments ago.
• Playing video games is often a way you find yourself spending time with him, and right now, he's trying seriously hard not to lose. Not that that's anything out of the ordinary.
• "It ain't cheatin'. It's advanced strategy, darlin'!" He proclaims. There's a huge grin on his face.
• You're practically on top of Lucas and you still can't reach.
• 'Advanced strategy, huh?' you think. Time to implement some of your own, then.
• You seize him by the front of his hoodie, pulling him up and kissing him, completely catching him off guard.
• Lucas' eyes widen so much that they just about pop out of his skull. It takes him a moment to return the kiss.
• The first thought to briefly pass through his mind is, 'What the—?' The follow-up is a drawn-out 'Yessssss...'
• He presses back into you hard, quickly bringing the kiss toward the rougher side. His hands find the collar of your own top, curling his fists into it and tugging you ever closer.
• ...This means your controller is now sitting freely on the couch and you can snatch it back, which you do. You pull back and quickly reclaim your win.
• "Hey! You lil—! That's cheatin'!"

Chapter Text

Jake Muller (Resident Evil 6):

• Jake is not used to this stuff. Being close to people, getting attached, being affectionate, all that.
• When you come out of nowhere and try to hug him, he pushes you off out of a mixture of surprise and reflex.
• You're both just standing there. There's an uncomfortable moment of silence.
• Jake's blue eyes dart away from you. He clears his throat, then gruffly mumbles something that might be sorry.
• He slowly holds his arms out, offering to try the hug again. He does want one from you.

Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 6):

• Chris is at a point in his life where he won't admit he needs a hug, but he does. Desperately.
• At first, his hands grasp your biceps, and it seems as though he might reject your hug.
• But then, he slowly wraps his arms around you, pulling you impossibly closer and squeezing you tightly.
• He's never been one for long hugs, but he remains in your embrace for quite a while.
• When he pulls away, you find that his gaze has softened, though only briefly.

Piers Nivans (Resident Evil 6):

• When you practically throw yourself at Piers, it's like stepping on a beartrap. Except it's far more enjoyable!
• His hazel eyes widen a fraction in surprise.
• As soon as you make contact, his arms immediately close around you tightly. Congratulations, you are now trapped.
• Not only does he hold you for a long time, but he also gives you a few good squeezes.
• When you finally pull apart, Piers sends you a smile, keeping his hands on your shoulders.

Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil 6):

• Things have been especially rocky and insane lately, so the hug is a pleasant little surprise.
• The corners of Leon's lips lift momentarily. He huffs out a quiet ghost of a laugh.
• After a second, his arms wrap firmly around your waist in return. His tiredness shows.
• He takes a deep breath, inhaling your scent.
• Two seconds of silence pass. He makes some borderline cheesy remark about how you can't keep away from him.
