Summary: Casey reflects about how Raph will always stay the same.

Never Change

Casey stood back to catch his breath. He glanced around at the unconscious goons that littered the ground around him. Tonight wasn't too bad. There was only about twenty or so. Nothing him or Raph couldn't handle. At the thought of his lover, his eyes raised up, searching for the redhead. He found him just as Raph brought his knee to an already beat up Purple Dragon's face, breaking his nose, making blood fly out. Casey has to smirk at the feral look on Raph's face. It was the same look he wore every night they went out fighting. The only difference was the obvious. His lover was no longer an emerald skinned turtle with a bad attitude and a hot ass. He was now a red haired human with a bad attitude and, Casey's eyes glanced downwards...Yup, still got a hot ass, Casey thought, with a smirk.

Then, as he watched Raph get in another fight with another Purple Dragon, he turned serious. After the huge change, everyone was scared. Even through it was never said, Casey knew Raph was scared about losing him, about losing his love.

Which is totally stupid, Casey thought, as he watched with pride as Raph jabbed an elbow behind him and into a throat of a thug that sneaking up behind him.

No, if anything, Casey loved him more. He loved how even after such a huge change, Raph didn't let it change who he really was. He was still the same inside. He kept his same fiery passion in everything he did, whether it was fighting or loving. And he kept his temper, Casey thought with a smirk as he watched Raph's booted foot fly up and hit a goon's chin in a high kick.

Yeah, Raph's always gonna be the same, Casey though with a goofy grin as Raph did a spin kick towards a new goon, kicking him across the right side of his skull, knocking him to the ground and out cold, then turned around towards Casey. Casey's eyes did a quick scan over Raph, checking for injury, eyes barely catching the streak of blood that stained a corner of Raph's mouth. Casey felt his breath hitch as he rushed over to the other man.

"Are you okay? What happened?" he asked frantically, as he grabbed Raph's chin and tilted his head up.

Raphael grabbed Casey's wrist and shook his head out of his grip.

"I'm fine. He just got a good hit in," he grumbled, looking back at the guy he just knocked out.

Casey glared down at the thug then grabbed the back of Raph's head and pulled him close and kissed him hard. His tongue sought entry in his lover's mouth, gaining it in only seconds. A few minutes after, Casey pulled back as his lungs started to protest. He opened his eyes and looked at Raphael. His lover's beautiful golden eyes were currently half lidded, with a glazed look, and his mouth was hanging open slightly. Casey smirked.

He slowly reached up, closed the other man's mouth and leaned into his left ear.

"We're done here. Let's go back to my place...and fine something else fun to do," he whispered, huskily.

Raphael shivered heavily from arousal and shakily nodded his head.

"Kay," he whispered back.

Casey grinned and dragged his lover back to his apartment, plans of ravaging him now filling his head.
