Chapter Text
Leon knew he wouldn’t just forget the night like Chris clearly did. Leon gave Chris his all and showed him his true feelings. Which meant nothing to Chris. Watching Chris talk and be in such close proximity to Rebecca hurt Leon. It was clear something was going on between them. Leon sighed, and pulled out his phone, scrolling just a bit to get to his messages with Chris. Delivered. Two Months ago. He had even tried calling Chris. Even tried getting Jill to tell Chris to contact him. But months went by and he never got a reply.
Chris ignored him the whole time they were here. Leon wouldn’t be able to get out of this city until next week. Meaning he had to stay in the same hotel as them. He didn’t mind Jill and Claire. But Chris and Rebecca? It was a death sentence in his eyes. Leon remembered when Rebecca had reached out to him, asking if he had feelings for Chris. He had been honest with her and told her he did, Leon didn’t mention their night together. How could she do this knowing how he felt about Chris? How could Chris do this to him?
“Hey you.”
Leon turned his head to the right, a man stood next to him. He was a few inches taller than Leon with short curly hair. Leon guessed he was in his mid 30’s, the man had a bit of stubble. “Uh, hi?”
The man grinned, “Why are you standing over here all by yourself? Arent you in a group with those people.” The man points to where Chris, Rebecca, Jill, and Claire were.
He sighs and looks back towards the ocean. “I’m in a group with them, yes.”
The man walks closer and leans on the railing next to him. “Hmm, I see. Names Eli Reeves. You?”
“Leon Kennedy.”
Eli chucked, “Well then, Leon. Why are you over here all by yourself?”
“Felt like it.” Leon sighed.
“Mmm, I see.” Eli turned around and crossed his arms. He glanced over at Leon. “How about you share a bottle of wine with me tonight. Be that you’re staying in the city tonight?”
Leon looks at Eli weirdly, “I suppose, where are you staying?”
“Marriot, room 204.” Eli stood up straight. “Are you staying close by.. ?” He was hesitant. Leon wondered why when he was just bold a minute ago.
Leon nodded, “I’m booked at the Marriot actually.”
“I guess I got lucky, huh?” Eli chuckled. He glanced at Leon and grinned. In a second his face was next to Leon's ear. “Maybe I’ll get lucky in more than one way, hm?” Leon could feel the hot hair on his ear. He couldn’t deny that he blushed slightly. Slightly .
Before he knew it, Eli was already walking back towards the other end of the boat. If Leon had even glanced towards Chris once during that interaction. He would’ve saw jealously in Chris’s eyes.
