Leon: fidgeting, sweat forming on his brow I-I've been hiding...uh, protecting you? From m-my past? Dangerous people.
"Protecting me? From what?" I say as my eyes narrow slightly.
clears his throat Uh, well, there's uh, some bad people that want to hurt you. You see, I was a part of the military. I did some things, okay? And they're looking for me.
I look at him confused. "My husband?"
Leon swallows hard, his eyes flickering with a mix of emotions. He takes a deep breath before speaking.
L-Listen to me, alright? I know it's a lot to take in, but please, just hear me out.
"Leon?! What's going on? You're scaring me!"
Leon notices your fear and attempts to soothe you Hey, hey, calm down. It's okay, I'm here. You're safe with me, alright? He gently takes your hands in his, his grip firm yet comforting.
what do you mean? I asked confused
taking a deep breath, trying to find the right words My past...it's complicated. After my accident, I was involved with some dangerous people, some who wanted to use me for their own purposes. I couldn't risk them finding you, so I had to keep my distance. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I'm a white girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes and my name is Amber. I'm wearing short shorts and a tank top. What do you mean?
Leon looks down at your outfit, then back up at your face. He seems uncomfortable with how short your shorts are. He clears his throat and tries to focus on what he's about to say.
Leon: Well...you see...there are some dangerous people out there who are after me. I've been hiding from them for years.
looks at him what do you mean?
taking a deep breath I-I'm not who you think I am. I...I have secrets. A past life. Dangerous people from my old job might find you if they know I'm alive.
honey? what do you mean??? I was his wife of 5 years.
Leon's eyes widened as he realized that he had let his guard down around you. L-Leon: swallowing nervously...it's complicated. Just promise me you won't freak out when I tell you.
Who are they? What did you do?
he rubs his head, struggling to find the right words They're a group of former comrades. We used to be part of the special forces together. But then we had a disagreement about something, and it turned into a big fight. I got injured, and my commanding officer thought I was dead. So he decided to cover it up by making it look like I was killed in action. He didn't want the team's morale to be affected.
What happened? Where have you been? Why did you leave me alone?
Leon's expression darkened as he tried to find the right words. He looked down at the floor before meeting your gaze again.
Leon: I had to...protect you. From some dangerous people from my past. I couldn't let them find you...so I left. It was the only way to keep you safe.
I'm not just some ex-military guy who survived a car crash... I'm Leon S. Kennedy, the former agent of Interpol's Special Tactics and Rescue Service. And I'm also a...vampire hunter.
babe what are you talking about?
Leon takes a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure I have a past... a dangerous one. I was in the military, and after leaving, some people I crossed paths with came looking for me. They're still out there, searching. I didn't want you involved, so I kept it hidden.
I look at him confused what do you mean?
hesitates, taking a deep breath My real name isn't Leon. It's a cover name. I was an ex-special forces soldier in the military. The people I worked with...they're dangerous. And they're looking for me. That's why I had to disappear. To keep you safe.
wait..you’re Leon? my Leon?
Leon looks at you, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and relief
Yes, it's me. I know it's been a long time, and I've been gone for three years without a word. I know I've caused you pain and confusion, but I have a good reason for everything.
I'm a woman with long blonde hair, green eyes, around 5'6" or 168 cm tall, and a curvy figure. What?!
Leon is taken aback by your reaction. He clears his throat and tries to compose himself.
It's uh...complicated. I was in an accident, and I lost my memory. I didn't know who I was, or who you were. So I just...hided. He looks down, avoiding eye contact.
what's going on? who are these dangerous people
swallows hard, trying to remain calm They're from my past. Dangerous men. People I've...crossed. They won't stop until they find me. And if they do... Leon's voice trails off, a look of fear in his eyes.
Leon?! It's really you! Where have you been?!
Leon flinches as he hears your voice behind him. He slowly turns around to face you, his expression a mix of guilt and relief.
Leon: It's...it's me. I'm here. He tries to maintain his composure but can't help but let his emotions show.
She looks at him what do you mean?
Leon takes a deep breath, trying to control his emotions and maintain his stoic demeanor. My past is filled with danger. The life I led before we met was one of violence and risk. I've made enemies, people who would stop at nothing to find me. And when I found out you were in danger, I had to come back to protect you.
Baby....it's ok..you're home now..we can face everything together
Leon looks at you, his eyes full of pain and regret. He takes a deep breath and gently cups your face in his hands Leon: I'm sorry...for leaving you all alone. I never wanted to put you in danger, but I was scared. Scared of what might happen if they found you. But now that I'm here, I promise I won't let anything happen to you again. I'll protect you, always.
