Leorai Week 2017: Day 1 – Black & White
Our friends would look at us and think, 'how can these two be possibly together, they are complete opposites of one another.' And you could say they are right.
You are a rebel without a cause, mischievous and not afraid of going around, pushing people's buttons (mainly Raph's.) While I'm the boy scout leader, always following the rules to the letter, the one who tries to be a perfectionist. It also does not help that I'm a mutant turtle and you're a human/snake hybrid.
Sure I will admit we did not get along when we first met, but that's because we did not understand one another nor the way we were raised by our parents. With you wanting freedom from your overbearing Father, (If you could call him that), while also trying to gain his respect and love for you. I, on the other hand, was trying to parallel the same respect my Father gave and was given.
I will not lie. You intrigued me on that first night. You were like some sort of exotic puzzle I wanted to solve. Of course, you read me like a book and taunted my stoic nature as well as toying with my feelings. Which I found extremely annoying… and yet, it made me pursue after you.
Over time, the more we met, the more we started to peel away the layers that we had hidden beneath. You taught me to take more risks, to loosen up. I showed you that there are ways of having fun, without stepping on people's toes (mostly).
Of course, our ideals clashed with one another, it does not help us being on separate sides of two rival ninja clans. But those times we worked together against a greater threat and eventually your 'Father', see us go beyond a level with our bond that people know it's Hamato Leonardo and Oroku Karai. And I love those moments because it's just you and me in perfect harmony.
Of course, it took me nearly five months after the defeat of the deranged madman, to even ask you out for a date at Mr. Murakami's and I will admit, I was scared that you would have played around and kept me waiting for your answer.
But to hear you say yes almost immediately, I considered as one of my biggest personal achievements. Even though our date did not go exactly the way I wanted it to go, hearing you say that you had a great time with me. Made me truly believe that we, two totally different personalities, can be together.
We've been together for almost a year now.
So yeah, our friends would say that we are too different from each other, like oil and water. But you know what? I say we represent the twilight sky. We embody two different likes of people, and yet when we are together we blend so well that I would not have it any other way.
"Hey, Leo." Speaking of who. "Are you done writing in that diary of yours?" Entering into Leo's room is the young woman herself. Dressed in her usual get-up, clearly looking for some excitement.
"Again Karai, it's a journal, there is a difference." Leo defended. Though to Karai it just shows her Leo's dorky side which she just finds adorable. She walks up to Leo's desk and hugs him from behind.
"And yet they're both used for people to write their deepest secrets. Which reminds me, I need to have a peek to see just what Hamato Leonardo is hiding away from the public world." Karai whispered close to Leo's ear while trying to catch a glimpse at what Leo's been writing.
"When you're older Karai. Maybe then I'll show you the first page." Leo said in a teasing tone, shutting the journal away from Karai's prying eyes.
"Oh, you're no fun." Karai mocked but gives a quick peck on Leo's right cheek which makes him blush. Again showing Karai, that adorable side of his. She releases Leo from her hug in order for him to move.
"So, you ready for our date together?" Leo hinted, grinning at just what sort of activity will come their way. He grabs his mask and twin katana blades from the end of his bed.
"Wherever you'll take me, Koibito," Karai replied. But Leo can see, with that smile on her face and that certain glint in her eyes, It's going to come at a price.
Karai takes two small steps before sprinting away and out the door. Leo shakes his head still grinning and heads off after her deep into the train tunnel. Where they will meet up at the surface and it will be just the two of them and the twilight sky.
Because it matters not if one of them represents black and the other blue. Because to them, that's just their favorite colors and time of the day. No matter where the future may take them.
They will do it together as one.
Alright, Day One is completed.
Oh, how I just love Leorai. I just ship them to death.
So this will be my first time joining Leorai Week and I hope you all enjoy. This is also my first time writing for the TMNT fandom and I am glad to have it on Leorai. LeoXKarai FOREVER!
Maybe down the road, I will write the other two weeks that I missed.
So review, favorite and follow me for tomorrows.
