So the turtles are in human form cause I can't write worth shit unless I'm writing humans T^T

They still live in the sewers
But they're not brothers by blood, but more by bond.
Again, really sorry if I messed this up, I'm still not exactly a skilled writer, but I'm trying!

Asshole

-Leo-

Once again, Raphael has blown up. Figuratively of course, he didn't actually blow up. "Stop telling me what to do, Leo! Just because Donnie and Mikey do everything you tell them to, doesn't mean I'll be your obedient little whore, too!" And now he's gone. Jeez, I wish he'd take the anger management classes like we wanted him to.

"Uhm.. Leo, is Raph gonna be okay?" Donnie asked, but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"If he's late getting back, I'm not saving him any pizza." I looked over to Mikey, only to see that he had his arms crossed over his chest and nose to the sky defiantly. Chuckling, I told them to go on ahead. I need to find Raph. We're on patrol right now, and the last thing we need is to get caught, or be out way too late. We've got school in the morning.. or, well, most of us do. Donnie graduated a couple years ago. No, he's not the oldest, in fact, besides Mikey, he's the youngest. Donnie is just really smart. Currently, Donnie has graduated high school, Mikey is in Gr. 9, Raph in Gr. 11, and I'm in Gr. 12. Donnie would be in Gr. 10, but since he graduated, he's not. It's pretty cool how we're all about the same age, right? Though, with four teenage boys in the lair, Master Splinter has a hard time getting any peace and quiet.

"Raph! Raphael, where are you? Come on! I'm sorry, okay!? I know I'm harder on you than the other guys, and I'm sorry! Just come out already!" I've been yelling for him for a while now. 43 minutes to be exact. And while I walk aimlessly, I know he can hear me. In fact, he's probably following me, enjoying my misery. And I know what you must be thinking, 'You're harder on Raph than Donnie and Mikey?', well yes, I am, but there's a good reason for that. I never used to be this hard on him, but things have changed, I've changed. Lately, I can't help but feel attracted to Raph. My chest hurts whenever I see him flirting with someone, or if he's even close to someone else. I've been getting jealous, and I know I'm falling for the hot-headed idiot. Hell, I probably fell for him a long time ago, and I'm just realizing it now. But, with us being adopted brothers, and growing up together.. as brothers, there's not much I can do. I mean, we're not related by blood, but we were still raised as brothers, so it's probably kinda weird for me to have a crush on him. Well, plus, we're both boys. And so far that I know of, Raphael hates gay guys. He's always expressed a strong dislike for males that are gay, never for the girls though. That probably sounds sexist, but it's really not. Raph hates gay guys cause for some reason, he's always getting hit on by them. And, of course, lesbians wouldn't hit on a guy, right?

Crash. I snapped my head towards the alleyway, and got into a fighting stance. "Who's there?"

"Relax, dumbass. It's just me. C'mere, my mask got caught and I can't get it loose." Sighing, I walk down the alley towards the obviously frustrated, and probably still ticked off, Raphael.

"I'm surprised you asked for my help. I thought you hated me right now." I stated in a monotone voice with a straight face.

"Shut up, Splinter would kill me if somebody saw who I was, and you know it." Raph glared at me, indicating for me to get his mask free from the fire escape. I looked him over, eyeing his muscles a bit. Raph has messy red hair, and he's wearing our traditional black uniform vest and black jeans. We all wear those. But we each have a different coloured tank top for under the vest, the tank top matches out mask. Mine is blue, Raphael's is red, Donnie's is purple, and Mikey's is orange. Basically, it's our favourite colours. Though, Raph isn't wearing his mask since it got caught. Raphael's eyes are a bright green, they're beautiful.. and then his lips...

"What the hell are you doing!? Stop staring at me, and get the stupid piece of cloth free!" Heat rushing to my face, I turn away and start working on getting the red fabric free. Though, I snuck a peek at Raphael. A light pink is dusting his cheeks, and he's leaning against the alley wall beside me, though he's facing slightly straight, but to the right a tad bit. Probably so he doesn't have to look at me. His arms are crossed, and his left leg is bent, with his foot against the wall. He's like one of those 'typical hot bad-boys'. No wonder so many people want him. Not only does he look good, but he's got a pretty nice personality, though he doesn't usually show it. He puts up a tough front, probably to try to keep himself from getting hurt. That's usually why people do it, right? Well, Raph acts like a giant asshole, but I know he's actually pretty sensitive, and he cares a lot for our little adopted family. He'd do anything to protect any one of us, because we're really all he has. We're all we all have, really. Sure, we've all got friends, but it's really not the same.

"You're staring again, Leo. What the hell is wrong with you?" Snapping out of my trance, I look away, not bothering to answer his question. Finally, I got the mask free. Walking over to stand in front of Raph, I place the fabric on his face, so that the holes are where his eyes are, and I lean forward slightly, to see what I'm doing. I start to tie the fabric behind his head, when suddenly his strong arms wrap around my middle, pulling me against him. His hand slides up my back and starts to play with the end of my mask, which goes down nearly to the center of my back. My heart starts to race faster, and my cheeks are almost as red as his mask, but I keep a straight face, hoping he won't notice. Resting my elbows on his shoulders, I go back to tying his mask again, making sure it's tight enough that it won't slip. Dropping down from the tip-toe stance I didn't even know I was in, I look at Raph, slight confusion crossing my face when he didn't let go. Smirking, Raph leans in closer, and whispers in my ear.

"I know you like me, Leo.." Damn his voice his sexy.. so damn ho- wait, what!?

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" I replied, a little too quickly. I pushed against Raph's chest, trying to pull away, but he held me firm. Raph has way more brute strength than me, the only reason I'm a better ninja is cause I had an extra year of training, and I can keep calm while fighting. Keeping my hands on his chest, I lean back slightly, staring at him dead in the eye, and furrowing my eyebrows.

"Let me go, Raph." I demanded, hoping to god that for once, he just might listen.

"Now why would I do that? I've always been suspicious, but you just made it so obvious tonight, Leo.. why won't you just admit it?" He said the last part in a low, husky voice, making me shiver and causing my blush to darken.

"I honestly have no idea what you're talking about." I said defiantly, shifting my eyes away from him.

"Sure ya don't.." He mumbled, and loosened his grip, though not enough for me to escape. Turning my eyes back to him, I studied his form. He's still leaning against the wall, but he's not looking at me anymore. He's staring at the ground to the left, with a disheartened look on his face. Relaxing a little, I stop pushing, and just stare at him.

"Raph..?" I whispered, unsure what to say. Why does he look so pained? Did I hurt him while I was pushing away? Or does he like me back..? No, of course he doesn't... don't be silly, Leo. It's not possible. After realizing I had relaxed in his grip, Raph looked back at me. He's slightly taller than me, but just by an inch, if even that. Smirking, he started to play with the end of my mask again, and I frowned, but moved my hands to his shoulders. We stayed like this for a while, neither of us daring to speak. Sighing, I leaned forward slightly, but quickly leaned back after realizing. Raph looked at me, a little disappointed that I had pulled back again. Placing my hands on his chest, I decided to speak.

"God, what are we doing..? We can't be standing like this together, it's not right! You need to let me go, Raph, this is probably torture for you anyways, knowing how much you hate gay guys.." I trailed off, turning away from him.

"There's nothing wrong with standing here like this. I know you like me, you're not very good at hiding it. And besides, it's not like we're actually brothers. Not by blood, anyways. And where did you get the idea that I hated gay guys? I'm bisexual, Leo. I have nothing against gay guys, most of them just bother the fuck out of me. It's like they never leave me the fuck alone, and they're all stereotypical gays, so it's really fucking annoying." Raph stated, as if it was obvious. Shocked, I stared at him for a moment, before narrowing my eyes.

"I don't like you like that, Raph. We're brothers, always have been, always will be." I said, hoping he'd believe me. Leaning in, he brushed his cheek against mine.

"Who're you trying to convince? Me? Or yourself?" He whispered, making me tense. "You've got a boner, Leo. I can feel it." My face darkening even more, I try to pull away, but once again, I failed miserably.

"You know, you're a real fucking ass! If I had wanted you to know, I would have told you." I told him unamused, and angry. Sighing, he pulled his head away, and rested it on the wall behind him, pulling me closer as he did so.

"Leo, I really don't see what the problem is. I mean, let's face it, you never would have told me even if you wanted me to know.." I sighed and turned my head away, knowing that what he said is true.

"I love you, Leo. I love you more than a brother should, I love you the same way you love me. And I thought that, even though you're as dense as you are, that with my actions right now, you would have noticed..." Raph trailed off, staring at me. I looked back at him, a bit surprised.

"You.. do..?" I asked, hesitantly, unsure that he was telling the truth, or if he was just messing with me. But surely.. even though he's a giant asshole... he wouldn't play with my feelings... right? We stared at each other a little longer, before my gaze dropped to his lips slightly, but returned to his eyes quickly, hoping he hadn't noticed. Biting my lip, I looked away, unable to match his stare. Chuckling slightly, Raphael grasped my chin, and pulled my face back to face his. Then suddenly, his lips were on mine. I was shocked at first, but I slowly melted into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck. I know that after this, I won't be able to pretend we're just brothers, like usual, but he won't be able to either. Hopefully. Pulling away, we stared at each other, panting a little.

"Soo... are you guys done... oorrr...?" Snapping my head to the side, I saw Mikey with his hand rubbing the back of his head, and Donnie just standing there with a goofy smile on his face.

"It's about time you guys got together, I was beginning to think you'd keep pretending to only see each other as annoying brothers forever!" Donnie laughed, then turned on his heel, and started walking away, shoving his mask in his pocket. Mikey followed suit, shoving his mask into his skater backpack. Raph laughed, pulling my mask, along with his, off and shoving them in his back pocket.

"H-hey!" I yelled, startled by my mask suddenly leaving my face. Raph stared at me for a moment, then picked me up bridal style, and walked out of the alley. Instinctively, I grabbed onto his shoulders to stop myself from falling, though I know Raph would never drop me unless it was on purpose.

"Raphael, I demand that you put me down right now! I am you're elder, and you'll listen to me!" I attempted to sound in charge, though it came out a little fearful. Mikey started laughing, then jumped on his skateboard and rolled away. Donnie looked back with a smile, then ran to catch up with Mikey. Frowning at how my brothers ditched me when I needed help, I turned back to Raph, who had a smile on his face.

"I won't be putting you down anytime soon, babe. You're mine. And it doesn't matter if you're a year older, I'm naturally more dominant than you, and you know it." He whispered the part about being dominant seductively, and I shivered. Giving in, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and rested my head on his chest.

"Asshole.."
