serennedy in cozy situations….cuddling in bed, holding hands and forehead kisses…washing eachother’s hair in the bath…going for a walk on a rainy day….wough

Oughhh Serrennedy domestic fluff save me..

UGH hear me out. Regular old re4/r EXCEPT Luis didn’t die. And like after all the post-mission proceedings and whatnot, and maybe Luis ended up finishing up before Leon somehow, I don’t know. So he was like able to shower and whatnot before him, blahblahblah

And because Luis had finished up before Leon, he drew him a nice hot bath, and I’m sure Leon would probably put up a bit of a fight against the gentle treatment, maybe he doesn’t feel like he deserves it. Maybe he feels insecure with the idea of someone seeing his body, seeing all his scars, all his imperfections and the wounds that blemish his rough skin.

Or, maybe, he’s uncomfortable with being in such a vulnerable position. Being exposed so intimately to someone.

Either way, he desperately needs a bath, and he’s far too exhausted to fight over how he gets his damn bath.

It’s a bit odd at first. Leon’s used to taking care of himself. He’s used to licking his own wounds, mending himself just in time for his next job. Despite how uncomfortable he might be with the vulnerability of the situation. It’s not the first time he’s bathed around another person, he had grown accustomed to it during his training. That, however, was more detached. Separated. And even then, he was bathing himself, not anyone else.

He couldn’t help it if he was tense, he wasn’t used to someone else taking care of him. Hasn’t been for a long time. But Luis was just so gentle, handling him as though he were made from glass; tracing his scars, making sure he was extra careful around the open wounds and bruises that were littered across his body.

Oh and I just know Luis would talk to him all low and gentle. Just whispering sweet nothings, murmuring sweet praises about all the things he perceived as flaws, talking about how he did so well rescuing Ashley, that he did his job and now it’s time for him to relax. To let himself get taken care of.

I feel like it’d end up with Leon eventually like relaxing and just accepting the treatment fully. Without going into it too much, since this isn’t what it’s about (though, I will elaborate if asked I guess idk), I view Leon as the kind of guy that doesn’t cry a lot. Probably has some things he’s internalized over the years, maybe he finds the vulnerability of expressing his emotions so clearly uncomfortable. However you take it doesn’t really matter. Either way, I feel like he doesn’t cry much or very often, but he does seem like he might be the type to cry or get a little teary-eyed when certain things are overwhelming. For example, he could probably deal with various people trying to kill him and avoid a chainsaw no problem, but the intimacy and vulnerability of letting someone take care of him? That’s what does it for him.
