Just the Surface (One-Shot)

Moira sat in the passenger seat of Junior’s car, feeling the weight of the quiet between them. They didn’t often drive together—conflicting schedules, BSAA training, and various obligations always seemed to get in the way.

Today, though, Moira asked Junior for a drive to the TerraSave building for a party since he happened to be nearby. As best friends, how could he turn her down? But the heavy silence hung in the air.

“Normally, you’d fill me in on what’s going on,” Junior finally said, letting out a resigned sigh. “I mean, you don’t have to, but it sounds like you screwed up.”

Moira rolled her eyes and leaned her head against the window.

“I didn’t ‘screw up,’” she replied sharply. “It’s over, and talking about it isn’t going to change anything.”

Junior kept his hands on the steering wheel, giving her an assessing glance. “Right. I know you and your dad had a fight, but was that all?”

Moira leaned back in her seat, visibly frustrated with his persistence.

“I just said something that annoyed him,” she muttered under her breath.

“What? Did you tell him you wished he wasn’t your dad or something?” Junior quipped, making a turn that caused Moira’s leg to jolt.

“No, I didn’t say that.”

“Then what did you say?” He asked again.

“It’s not a big deal. I just told my dad I wished he hadn’t brought Dylan home because he’s turned our place into a nightmare—” Before she could finish, Junior suddenly hit the brakes at a red light.

“Wait… did you say that while Dylan was in the room?” He kept his eyes focused straight ahead, but a shadow flickered across his face, and Moira couldn’t quite read it.

“Yeah. I said our family would be better off without him,” she admitted nonchalantly.

Junior fell silent, processing her words.

“Why would you say that to him?” he asked. “Is that why you always make those jokes?”

Moira turned, her expression puzzled. “I thought you didn’t like him either?”

“I poke fun at him sometimes, sure, but I’d never say ‘everyone would be better off without you!’” Junior replied, his tone dripping with incredulity.

“What’s the big deal? He’s fine! Barry always defends him and bends over backward for him, even when he’s being a brat,” she retorted, frustration bubbling to the surface.

Junior let out a deep sigh, resisting the urge to bang his head against the steering wheel.

“The big deal is that he’s never said something like that to you,” he said, his voice edged with frustration. “Yeah, he gets annoyed with our teasing, but you crossed a line. You should know better—coming from me, that says a lot.”

Moira turned back to the window, seemingly indifferent. Junior stole a glance at her from the corner of his eye, struggling to find any sign of remorse. But she had a knack for burying her feelings.

“I know I should know better, but it’s not my fault he came into my family’s lives and ruined them.” Moira scoffed, her eyes stared out the window. “And don’t pretend you’re now good friends with Dylan.”

Junior got quiet, he kept driving.

“I wasn’t saying that Moira, quit fucking putting words in my mouth.” Junior told her. “He’s in the BSAA with me, he’s a good guy, I may not know him like you do, but I know he wouldn’t say the shit you said to him. He’s more understanding like that; he doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.”

Moira tapped her fingers against the handlebar of the car; she was trying to ignore Junior’s words. Clearly, his words were getting to her, and she didn’t like losing an argument.

“Stop guilt tripping me damn it.” Moira sighed in frustration, her hand still tapping.

When they reached her destination, the car door unlocked with a click.

“Maybe think before you speak, especially in there,” Junior suggested, trying to keep a level tone.

Moira unbuckled her seatbelt. “I’m aware of that. Thanks for the ride.”

“Yeah, sure,” Junior responded with a shrug. He watched her walk into the building, his mind not predicting what would unfold next.

Two hours later, the ringing of his phone jolted him from thought—his mother calling about the incident at the party. He hadn’t foreseen it happening and immediately felt a wave of guilt for not going in with her, even if it was a party. Who could have guessed they would seize Moira in the midst of it all? He felt responsible.

The next few weeks were difficult. He had watched Dylan becoming closed off more than usual. Not even trying to socialize with anyone. Which was understandable. But it left Junior confused as why he didn’t go home.

From what he’s overheard from his mom’s calls with Barry or Kathy. Dylan had stopped contacting them, Junior knew it was bad for the family but he didn’t think it was this bad.

One day after training, he finally managed to find Dylan alone and actually out and about.

“Hey.” Junior greeted Dylan who paused and looked at him. He seemed conflicted on saying hello back. He remembered when Dylan and him were kids and Dylan didn’t ever come out of his room when he first met.

“Uh…hey.” Dylan greeted robotically. His eyes lowered down to the ground.

“You doing good, man?” Junior asked the platinum blonde haired man.

Dylan kept staring at the ground. His right hand fidgeted with his right side pocket.

“Yeah.” Dylan nodded.

“…Mind answering something for me?”

“What?” Dylan stared at Junior.

“Why the hell aren’t you talking to your family?” Junior finally asked. He shot straight to the point, here wasnt a point avoiding the elephant in the room.

“Why does it matter?” Dylan muttered. His eyes on the ground.

Junior rolled his eyes.

“Cut the bullshit.” He said. “Do you know how hurt they are?”

Dylan didn’t speak.

“They lost Moira but that’s because she got abducted by some asshole.” Junior started. “Why did you just stop talking to them when they need you?’

Dylan again remained quiet. Not looking at Junior.

This was pissing Junior off. He was trying to not fuck up this conversation…if he can even call this a conversation.

"You’re not talking to your dad, I get that he didn’t want you to join, but what about your mom?” Junior stepped closer.

Dylan didn’t move.

“For fucks sake, what about Polly?” Junior growled. He recalled how closer Dylan was with Polly than Moira.

Basically all the stuff Moira didn’t do with Polly, Polly did with Dylan. All from listening and singing to Taylor Swift, Junior and Moira would poke fun at them for listening, especially Dylan.

He remembered Dylan playing tea party with Polly and being forced to partake to dress up to avoid polly crying.

“Are you going to just pretend they don’t matter?” Junior glared. Grabbing Dylan by the collar and pushing him against the wall.

Dylan frowned. He was holding back tears.

“I can’t go back….I….I….would only make things worse.” He looked away.

“Says who!?” Junior asked. “Do you think you caused Moira to disappear?”

“I…only make things worse for them….I made them lose one of their own flesh and blood.” Dylan mumbled.

Junior stopped holding him by the collar.

“Are you stupid or something? Moira got kidnapped. It wasnt anything you did. Hell, I feel responsible for taking her to that party.” Junior stated.

“…how do you do it? Just…how?” He frowned.

“Do what?” Junior repeated.

“Just live with it?”

“….I know its not my fucking fault and I also know that Moira is able to take care of herself when she needs to. I can’t save everyone sure….but I can certainly fucking try for my next mission.” Junior stepped back.

“Just move on?” Dylan said.

“Not exactly, but cut this shit out of cutting away contact with your family. Especially to Polly who feels like she lost both her siblings.” Junior told Dylan.

Dylan froze. He hadn’t thought about it that way before.

“So quit mopping around and call them, leave for a little while….do what you gotta do.” Junior finished.

“I…I guess.”

Junior walked away leaving Dylan with his thoughts. He knew it would take a while for the guy to absorb all that.

This was laying around my drafts so I finished it up because I wanted to finally finish this story. Especially since I really wanted to write a Dylan interacting with Junior after my RE6 doodles. This story takes place before RE6 and during resident evil revelations 2.

Junior belongs to my dear friend @feng-shui71 I really hope i did well writing an older Junior. T.T I’m a little rusty after a long time of not finishing a short story.

I know what you nasties want. First come first serve.

Email rileyserenity@hotmail.com if interested (and specify which one desired) . I will not be looking at messages on here.

Luca Moreau

Age: 20
Nationality: French–Romanian
Pronouns: they/them
Major: Music Production / Sound Design

Luca Moreau is one of those students everyone seems to know somehow. They float between groups, show up at events without really being invited, and tend to be wherever the music is loudest.

They study music production and spend a lot of their time in the campus studio mixing tracks, helping run sound equipment for events, or putting together last-minute parties that somehow don’t get shut down immediately.

Luca is relaxed, social, and easy to talk to. They joke a lot and rarely seem stressed about anything. But they’re also very good at reading people, and they tend to notice problems in a room before anyone else does.

They were assigned female at birth, but Luca never really felt comfortable identifying fully as a woman or a man. They use they/them pronouns, though they don’t make a big deal about it and usually just tell people to call them Luca.

The bandage on their cheek isn’t unusual. It usually means Luca got into a small fight, accident, or stupid situation and decided it wasn’t worth worrying about.
_______

Fighting Style

Luca’s fighting style is very different from Seren’s.

They don’t rely on technique or training. Luca fights like someone who’s been in a lot of messy situations and learned how to survive them.

Their approach is mostly instinct.

They rely on:

• fast movement
• quick punches and elbows
• dodging instead of blocking
• staying unpredictable
• using whatever objects are nearby

Luca doesn’t try to dominate fights. Their goal is usually to confuse the other person long enough to end it quickly.

They also tend to smile during fights, which throws people off more than it should.
_______________

Personality

• relaxed
• sarcastic
• socially confident
• protective of friends
• curious about people
• not great with authority

Luca acts carefree most of the time, but they pay attention to things others miss. When someone around them is struggling, Luca usually notices before anyone else does.
__________________

Trivia

• Luca speaks French, Romanian, and English.

• They run music for a lot of campus parties and student events.

• The fang in their smile is natural. People ask about it constantly.

• Luca has several ear piercings and switches jewelry depending on their mood.

• They can cook surprisingly well, especially late-night comfort food.

• Morning classes are their worst enemy.

• Luca cuts their own hair most of the time.

• They don’t mind if people ask about their pronouns as long as it’s respectful.

• The bandage on their cheek changes fairly often. Most people stopped asking what happened.

• Luca has a habit of leaning against walls instead of standing normally.

• They’re weirdly good at calming people down when things start going wrong at parties.

• They are the niece of Salvatore Moreau, though they rarely speak about him openly.

• After Moreau’s death, Luca was taken in by Mother Miranda, creating a complicated guardian dynamic.

• They feel a mix of loyalty, curiosity, and distrust toward Miranda.


______________

Possible Romantic Interests (most likely first)

1. Daniela Dimitrescu
Probably the easiest match. Daniela’s laid-back personality fits Luca’s energy really well. They’d spend a lot of time doing random things together just because they felt like it.

2. Angie
Total chaos route. Luca can actually keep up with Angie’s party energy, which most people can’t.

3. Cassandra Dimitrescu
Cassandra treats flirting like a sport. Luca is one of the few people who can match her sarcasm without getting intimidated.

4. Donna Beneviento
A quieter route. Luca is surprisingly gentle around Donna and doesn’t pressure her to talk or socialize.

5. Bela Dimitrescu
A slow burn option. Bela doesn’t trust Luca at first, mostly because they seem too chaotic.

6. Alcina Dimitrescu
More of a tension-heavy dynamic. Alcina sees Luca as a distraction in class, even if she can’t deny their talent.

7. Mia Winters
Very unlikely. Luca respects Mia’s space and instinctively avoids pushing their luck around her.

8.) Mother Miranda: Very unlikely. Miranda took Luca in after the death of Salvatore Moreau, making their relationship closer to guardian and dependent rather than romantic. Luca might feel curiosity, loyalty, or even complicated emotions toward her, but Miranda herself is usually too focused on her goals and experiments to develop genuine romantic attachments. Any romantic development would likely only happen if something unusual drastically changed their dynamic.

_______

Reputation on Campus

This helps define how other characters see them.

Most students know Luca as “the music person.”

If there’s a party, concert, or event happening, there’s a good chance Luca is involved somehow. Some people think they’re chaotic, others think they’re fun, but almost everyone agrees they’re easy to talk to.

Teachers tend to see them as talented but slightly irresponsible.

____________

Family Background

Luca grew up in a fairly strict household where their parents expected them to follow a very traditional path. As Luca got older and started expressing their identity more openly, along with focusing on music instead of the career their parents wanted for them, the relationship at home became increasingly strained.

Eventually things reached a breaking point. After a serious argument about Luca’s identity and future, their parents told them to leave.

With nowhere else to go, Luca went to stay with their uncle, Salvatore Moreau. Despite his strange reputation, he was one of the few family members who didn’t judge Luca or try to force them into being someone they weren’t.

Luca rarely talks about that time in their life, but it’s clear that Moreau’s acceptance meant a lot to them.

After Moreau’s death, Luca was taken in by Mother Miranda, creating a complicated dynamic of loyalty, curiosity, and distrust that still shapes Luca today.

____________

Height

Height: 5'8" (173 cm)

They’re not especially tall, but Luca carries themselves with a relaxed confidence that makes them seem a little bigger in a room than they actually are.

________
Music Genre

Luca mostly produces electronic and experimental music.

Their work mixes things like:

• electronic / EDM
• industrial sounds
• distorted bass
• ambient background layers

They also like recording real-world sounds and turning them into samples. Street noise, broken machines, voices in crowded rooms, anything interesting can end up in one of their tracks.

Because of that, Luca’s music has a reputation for sounding unpredictable and atmospheric rather than polished or mainstream.

__________-
Dorm / Living Situation

Luca shares a three-person dorm on campus.

Roommates:
• Seren
• one other student

The dorm is slightly chaotic most of the time. There are cables, headphones, empty energy drink cans, and random objects scattered around from music projects or late-night hangouts.

Luca is usually the reason music is playing at odd hours, though they’re surprisingly respectful about lowering the volume when people actually need sleep.

Seren tends to balance out Luca’s chaotic energy, which keeps the room from turning into complete disaster territory.

Too Flustered

Since I doodled Dylan yesterday, have some more Dylan. But with Helena.

Helena would not notice Dylan having a crush on her. She just thinks he’s bad at talking with women based on what Leon’s told her.

Dylan is bad with socializing with girls. That and he already thinks she’s taken. (Cause hes too much of a wimp to just ask if she’s got a boy/girlfriend.)

Also….I just wanted to doodle Helena wearing a outfit i couldnt stop thinking of her wearing.

A little something after finishing Insanity mode 👀

Resident evil requiem …. I miss playing it! 😢

Leon handing a gun to Grace 🐾

quick sketchy thing i did to try and save me from my same face syndrome ;-;

Having Resident Evil Requiem combine both subgenre’s of the franchise into one game I think my ideal going forward after all the remakes are done would be mainline game’s maintaining the Grace Ashcroft style survival horror and a spin off series building off the co-op action stuff

Both are great, and the action is even more fun in co-op, but it should be a spin off of the main numbered games. Two characters per game would also help Capcom spread the love to the Many Many Many Resident Evil Protagonists who are trapped in the basement

Time to jump back into Resident Evil 5 and hunt down those SS ranks like they’re the last pieces of pizza at a party!

Hello everyone! I decided to make a RE rp server! Just ask who you wanna be if youre interested in joining and Ill let you know if that characters taken or not! This is all I have to say about it but we have nice and caring mods in there as well!

We hope to see you in 𝘽𝙞𝙤𝙝𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮…

Since #ResidentEvilRequiem just came out, I thought I’d do another #RE4 bonus video…
