Summary:

Leon and Claire have a late night conversation in bed.
The prompt I used was "Memory loss"

Notes:

I really struggled with this prompt. I struggle with writing angst and a prompt like that kind of calls for it I think?? But then I had this idea and maybe it doesn't quite fit but I don't know ha ha...

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"Would you take it all away if you could?" Claire asked, cuddling closer to Leon on the bed.

"All of what away?"

Claire rested her head on his chest. "The memories. Raccoon City, Spain, China... all of that? Make it easier to sleep at night..." She shrugged. "Maybe."

Leon contemplated for a moment before running his hand over Claire's bare hip. "I wouldn't get rid of all of it. Not you or Sherry... just... the painful stuff."

Claire nodded silently, closing her eyes. "Can you really separate us from the bad though?"

Leon snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. "Well if I can't..." He kissed the top of her head. "Then I guess I'll just have to keep all of it. The bad..." He took her hand in his. "And the good."
