Chapter One: Together Again
Raph's POV
I stood on the roof of an abandoned factory in the middle of town, watching her as she slept from a distance not too far away from me. Even when she slept she looked beautiful. I know she told me we will meet at midnight but I couldn't wait much longer. I needed to be with her. I was nothing if I didn't have her in my arms again.
I searched the streets below me for any sign of humans, but there was non to be seen. I cracked my knuckles before jumping off of the roof and landed with a soft thud. As soon I got up, I looked down on the ground where I landed and noticed that that part of the road had multiple cracks from the impact. "I'll call somebody and tell 'em 'bout it tomorrow," I walked towards her building and a few seconds later I snickered and continued, "No I won't."
I knew her apartment was on the third floor and the second to the last window to the right so I had no trouble climbing to the top with the fire escape that was built on the side of the building. I crept slowly up the rusty stairs until I got to her room window. "Here goes nothin'." I tapped on the window a couple of times and waited. I could hear some rustling coming from inside, and it wasn't long until I heard the unlocking sound of the window and saw it slide up. It was pitch black inside the room (the moonlight was not much help at all) so I just stood on the platform, staring into the darkness, waiting for my angel's voice to speak to me.
"Raph? I thought we were meeting at midnight?" She must've been searching for a light switch because the small room had suddenly illuminated with light.
I scratched the back of my head, embarrassed, and said, "We were, but-" I was immediately interrupted by her lips against mine. I closed my eyes and caressed her face with my right hand as I kissed her back. My heart was beating at a million miles per hour and I couldn't help but like the way her soft lips felt. We broke the for air.
She stepped aside and I climbed through the window. I layed down on my back on her bed and sighed heavily. She walked over and layed down beside me, hugging me by the waist. I put my arm around her and asked, "So where are ya parents?"
"Ugh! Don't ask or say anything about them to me again!"
I sat up and stared down at her. "What happened?"
"They tried another attempt on sending me to a therapist just 'cause of how I act." She growled and threw one of her pillows against the wall. "I don't know why they do this to me! This never happened before until my father married that demon of a stepmother."
I turned away from her and lowered my head in shame. I knew the story that led to her pain right now. I know it because I caused it. Her real mother was one of the victims of The Shredder's manipulative plans. I still have no idea why he targeted her but all I know is that I couldn't stop him from succeeding.
"Don't worry, Raph. I don't blame you." She said softy.
"What?"
"I don't blame you for the death of my mother. I know you did all you could to stop him because I was the one that spent nearly months treating your wounds and taking your request on not letting your brothers know about your battle. But, I am still sorry for keeping you in my closet for most of the time and not allowing you back home long enough for your family to think you ran away." She blushed at her apology. Man, she looked so cute when she blushed.
I chuckled. "Don't worry 'bout it. T'was my begging that made you keep me here for a long time. I'm actually glad everything happened 'cause, if none of that did, we wouldn't be together right now." I leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "But, could ya at least give me a hint to where ya parents are at?" I smirked.
"Shut up!"
"Hey don't you dare throw that pillow at-"
"Hehehe! I never miss, do I?"
~~Meanwhile~~
Leo's POV
"Where is that hothead?!" I asked furiously.
"I think it is very unlikely for someone as violent as Raph to miss out on one of Mikey's recordings of the MMA fights." Donnie declared as I paced around the living room. At the corner of my eye, I could see Mikey walk in with a bowl of popcorn.
"Dudes, why worry? You guys know how he imitates these things! I still have the bruises from last months Recorded MMA Fight Night!" He whined.
"Yeah, and you know how rough he is out on the streets. The last time I caught him out, he nearly brutally murdered four members of the Purple Dragons." I protested sternly. "If anything he shouldn't be topside at all! Master Splinter grounded him for five months last night for using you, Mikey, as a punching bag!" I began to become strict.
"That is true but, since when has Raph ever LISTENED to Master Splinter? He always does what he wants and that's the way it has always been. I thought you figured it out ages ago." Donnie said.
"Yeah, I thought you would've gotten used to this, Leo." Mikey set the popcorn on the coffee table and sat on the couch, ready for the Fight Night to begin. "Just chill, Leo. Doesn't he, like, always leave the sewers at night?"
"He gave up the Nightwatcher act so there is no point in leaving whatsoever."
"Hey, maybe he is the new vigilante that I have heard about on the news this morning!" Mikey's eyes became wide with excitement and he showed off his big goofy smile.
"If he is then he is going to have a lot of explaining to do..."
~~Back To Original Setting~~
Raph's POV
"You can't beat me. You know that, right?" She said as she stretched.
"Hey, ya probably don't know but I been practicin' since last month! Learned all I needa know from a certain source."
"By 'a certain source' do you mean Casey?" She chuckled.
"Maybe..."
"You ready?"
"Let's do this."
"Just Dance 4!" We both said in unison.
We danced to the song What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction that was being played on her XBox Kinect. We were neck and neck with each move that was performed and we knew we had to beat the other to decide who was the best dancer.
"This song sucks." I grimaced.
"I know."
"Why did we even choose-" I slipped on something on the floor and fell flat on my back when it was already at the end of the song.
"Yes, I won!" She cheered.
"Yo, I wanna rematch! I fell so it doesn't count." I protested, tring to get myself off the ground.
"Sorry, Raphie. No rematches. That's what you said before we started."
"Dammit!"
She began laughing as she knelt down to pick me up.
As soon as I was back on my feet, I gently pushed her to her bed where she layed down. I crawled over her, putting all my weight on my hands as I kissed her lips. I pushed my tongue against her teeth, begging for entrance. As soon as she allowed me through, I deepened the kiss. Our tongues danced together as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I broke our kiss and began to nibble on her collarbone. She moaned, allowing me to know that she enjoyed it all. I stopped and I looked her straight in the eyes with a smirk on my face. She used one hand to undo her hair that was fixed in a ponytail as she shook her head a couple of times to let it flow. She looked so sexy at that point. I had a cocky look in my eye as I used one hand to rub her side, moving my hand casually up her shirt where I continued to rub her side.
As she began to trace circles with her fingers on the back of my neck, a strange sound was released from my vocal chords. Did I just purr?
I looked down on her to see her slightly giggle. "Well, I guess someone is enjoying this a lot." She said mockingly.
"Shuddap." I got off of her and walked over to the window.
"What's wrong? Are you leaving already?" She asked sadly.
"Yeah, I gotta go before Splinta Junior blows a fuse."
"Well, before you go, I wanted to ask if this weekend we could do something for my birthday?" She placed a hand on my shoulder and turned me around to face her.
"What did ya have in mind?"
She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I want to go out on the town with... The... Nightwatcher."
My eyes widened in shock. I had completely forgotten about my passed identity. Oh, how I missed the days where I beat up criminals and brought justice. That was a part of my life, but it was all taken away by Leo. So, I had to forget about it all because I knew I could never start over with him to be there to bust me.
I smiled and nodded. "Alright. But, only this once. Yer lucky I stole that helmet from Splinta's shelf. Now I gotta dust off that duffle bag of mine and bring back the good ol' memories."
