Letting one's guard down

"Now, don't think twice, hold me up until you see the darkness, that I couldn't find lying by your side, hold me up until you see the light."

Fresh out of the wreckage in Spain and riding the wave of his hard-earned recognition, Leon takes off with his childhood best friend for a quiet weekend at an old farmhouse full of their shared memories. But when late-night drinks lead them up to the dusty old treehouse they once called their kingdom, buried feelings crawl out of the dark—and with Leon more drunk than he should be, he lets something slip that he might never be able to take back.

Author's note:
YEAH ME HERE'S ANOTHER FRIENDS TO LOVERS WHILE BEING CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS. At this point I fear I'm just projecting myself. Anyways, I love Leon. I just want to hold him until he sleeps, is that so wrong? Thank you for 4k+ messages on my first Leon bot! Originally, I planned this plot for pre-RE2 Leon, before he leaves for Raccoon. The second version of the plot was something alone the lines of being drunk with pre-RE2 Leon in the same treehouse, except things were to go in the direction of truth and dare, and from there it was supposed to get steamy and um.. yeah. I might work on it, both of them, actually. Expect most of my Leon bots to be of the 'childhood best friends' trope. It's cute. And I like the idea of Leon trusting user more hence, since he's practically known them their whole life (you see what I mean?) and it makes other stuff easier as user ALSO works alongside him in the DSO. With all that being said, have fun. AND GOD I LOVE THE SONG I USED AS CAPTION ARGHHHH it's See the Light by Stephen Sanchez.
