Well,I don't own TMNT and all that great stuff, blah blah blah. Just read this fic and...
MIKEY! GIVE THAT BACK!
Mickey: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, you gotta come and get it.
MICHAELANGELO!
Anyway,just read the fic and leave a review while I go and chase down Mikey.
" Hey Nina, you feel up to hanging out tonight after work?"
The raven haired woman asks. The brunette woman sits at her makeup table brushing out her hair.
" Uh, yeah, sure."
She answers,breaking out of her train of thought. The raven haired woman finishes changing out of her dancing outfit.
" Myra and Joanne have this place that they want to check out."
' Oh no, not again.'
Nina thinks,rolling her eyes and giving an exasperated sigh. She runs the brush through her hair one more time before
turning away from the mirror.
" You remember what happened the last time Joanne dragged us somewhere, don't you Diandra?"
Diandra leans against her own makeup table, chuckling at the thought of their last excursion. Nina stands and begins
gathering pieces of her dancing outfit, shoving them into her backpack.
" Of course I remember."
She starts,stiffling a laugh.
" We got stuck in the middle of nowhere for well over an hour."
Nina began to smirk at her own memories of that night.
" Yeah, and if I recall correctly,you said, and I quote; " Joanne, this is the last time I let you talk me into anything."
Speaking the last part in a mocking tone and giving Diandra a look. As she shoves the remainder of her dancing outfit into
the backpack, a blonde woman and a red head come into the room.
" Hey Nina, Diandra ask you yet?"
The blonde asks her, an enthusiastic perk to her voice. Nina slings the backpack over her shoulder, her back turned to the
woman. She rolls her eyes and again sighs exasperatedly.
" Yes Joanne, she asked."
" And..."
Joanne presses for an answer.
' I know I'm going to regret this'
Nina thinks, turning, only to come face to face with Joanne and her begging puppy dog expression. She looks to the other
two, fishing for a rescue from Joannes childish antics. They offer no form of help, only look at her expectantly.
" Fine, I'll go with you."
She answers, rolling her eyes again. Joanne gives an excited cheer, jumping up and down, and throws her arms around Nina,
scurrying off to change into her normal clothes.
" I'm going to regret this"
Nina whispers to herself as she turns and heads out the door.
" We'll meet you outside."
Myra states, a smirk appearing on her lips as she follows in the direction of Joanne. At that, Diandra turns on her heel,
raising a hand in acknowledgement, and follows Ninas path out of the dressing room. Diandra and Nina go out the back
entrance of the club to the parking lot, where they wait for the other two. Leaning against Ninas car the two of them look up
at the night sky.
" You know, something tells me that tonight won't be like any other."
Diandra says out of nowhere. Nina glances at her before looking back at the sky.
" I don't know why but, I have to agree with you."
Nina says before hearing the metal door swing open, seeing Myra and Joanne emerge from it.
" Ready?"
Diandra adresses Joanne and Myra.
"Yep, let's go!"
Joanne answers, throwing her arms in the air excitedly. Myra simply nods and they all get into Ninas car.
&&&&&&&
" Hey Fearless, you comin or not?"
The red wearing turtle adresses his blue clad brother, who is finishing a kata. Two other turtles stand next to him awaiting an
answer.
" I don't know Raph"
He says uncertainly.
" Dude, you seriously need some time off bro."
Chimes the one in the orange bandana. The blue clad turtle sighs thoughtfully.
" Mikey's right Leo, you have been working pretty hard lately."
Leo looks at his olive colored brother. Mikey walks up to Leo and gives his best puppy dog face.
" Pleeease?"
Leo looks at Mikey and smirks at his child like appearance. Sighing again he gives his answer.
" Ok, I'll come."
Mikey smiles widely as his brother gives in, turning on his heel and walking out of the dojo, Leo following close behind. They
all head to the closet where they pick and choose between various items of clothing, used to disguise themselves. Leo throws
on a pair of large baggy jeans and a dark blue hoody, watching his brothers throw on baggy jeans and hoodys of their own
distinctive colors. As soon as they're all ready, the four of them head to the surface. Along the way Leo can't help noticing
how clear the night sky is, accidentally bumping into his purple clad brother because of his lack of focus on direction.
" Ahh, watch it Leo"
The purple wearing turtle says, catching his balance again. Raph and Mikey look back to check on their other two brothers.
After concluding that everything is alright, they turn and continue to walk.
" Oh, sorry Donny."
Leo apologizes, coming out of his short trance. Donny looks at him curiously, noticing the distant expression on Leo's face.
" Somethin on your mind? "
" Not really, just enjoying the scenery."
He admits, as his brother walks beside him. Don raises an eye ridge, puzzled.
" But, it's the same as always."
Don reminds his seemingly entranced brother. Leo sighs, looking at his feet, which don a pair of velcro sneakers.
" I know, but, something seems different tonight."
He admits, looking up so as not to bump into anyone or anything else.
" Different? how?"
" I don't know."
Leo shrugs.
" It just is."
He finishes, as they come upon their final destination.
&&&&&&&
The four women sit in the car as Nina steers them down the street.
" So, where exactly is this place anyway?"
Nina asks, not taking her eyes off the road in front of her.
" It's not too far from here."
Answers Joanne, a large grin appearing on her face.
" I'll point you in the right direction."
Chimes Myra, giving Joanne an annoyed look.
" Thanks My."
Says Nina,looking at her through the rear view mirror. Arriving at their destination, the four of them get out of the car and
walk up to the entrance of a small club. Nina grins, recognizing the place in front of them.
" Hey Ben, how're things going?"
Diandra adresses the man at the door. Looking over the rim of his sunglasses he answers her.
" Hey, if it isn't my favorite crew of dancers. Things have been pretty good on this end. How bout you?"
They glance at each other before one of them answers.
" We've been good Benny, mind lettin us in?"
He smiles and opens the door as four guys walk up behind them. Nina notices that they are also trying to get in and turns to
Ben.
" Hey Benny, they're cool."
She says pointing in the direction of the guys. Nodding to her, he lets them enter and as they walk in she notices they are all
wearing hoodys. Her and the others find a table to sit at and once seated, Myra starts in on her.
" Hey, why'd you tell Benny to let those guys in?"
Nina shrugs.
" Just a feeling."
She answers, looking around to see them all leaning against the bar, standing next to one another. She smirks and turns her
attention back to her friends, every once in a while glancing over at the guys leaning against the bar.
" Hey Fearless, looks like you got a fan."
Raph motions toward the table where Nina and her friends sit and Leo's eyes follow. He catches sight of Nina and she
quickly diverts her gaze elsewhere but, brings her eyes back in Leos direction.
" She's been lookin this way since we walked in."
" Isn't she the one who got us in here?"
Don asks, following the conversation between his brothers.
" I think so."
Leo answers, his eyes still fixated on Nina.
' Wow, she's cute.'
He thinks. She glances in his direction again, locking eyes with him.
' Oh man, he's looking at me, now what do I do?'
She thinks, once again diverting her gaze when she realizes that she is blushing.
" I don't know about the rest of ya but, I sure didn't come here to stand around all night."
Declares Raph, making his way over to Ninas table. Nina watches as the red hooded stranger walks up to her raven haired
friend. Diandra looks at her with a smile and walks to the dance floor with him. A few minutes later the guy in the orange
hoody walks up behind her blonde friend and they walk to the dance floor together. Only Leo and Don are left standing at
the bar but,even that doesn't last long when Donny walks up behind Myra and asks her to dance. As Nina looks on at her
friends and these three strangers, a smile crosses her lips and she shakes her head. Looking in Leos direction nervously,
she sees he is doing the same thing, which causes her to laugh. Building up her nerve, she decides to take a chance on
asking him to dance with her. Making sure that he isn't looking, she gets up and walks over to where he stands.
" Hi"
She says over the music. Leo turns quickly, surprised to see who is talking to him.
" Hi"
He returns. She continues.
" My name's Nina,what's yours?"
" Leo."
He answers, slightly nervous.
" You wanna dance?"
She asks,thinking.
' Please say yes'
Leo starts to fidget at her question.
" Uh,I'm not very good at it."
He tells her honestly.
" That's ok, I'll show you."
She says, taking his hand and leading him to the dance floor. He is reluctant at first but,lets her lead him out anyway. Some
people watch as Nina leads Leo onto the floor and begins showing him some basics. Raph notices them and nudges Donny.
" Hey Don, look."
He nods his head in the direction he wants him to look and what Don sees causes him to start laughing. Nina and Leo don't
even notice the others as they continue dancing together. Making a mistake, Leo accidentally bumps into Nina.
" Sorry"
He apologizes. She shakes her head.
" It's ok, just listen and move."
She reassures. The song ends and another soon begins. The other three girls run over to Nina, attempting to drag her with
them to the middle of the floor.
" Come on Nina, it's our song."
" Wait I..."
She pleads but, it's too late.The other three have lined up. Rolling her eyes, she follows suit. Everyone else steps off of the
floor and the four of them begin to dance. Their every step is synchronized perfectly, and their movements are so fluid that
they seem to send everyone into a trance. When they are finished, a roar of cheers and applause fill the room and Raph,
Don, Mikey,and Leo are in awe. All four of them stand there, jaws on the floor in sheer astonishment and Raph manages to
say only one word.
" Whoa"
The girls walk over to them, smiling at their surprised expressions. As Nina approaches Leo he continues to stare at her,
surprised by what he has just witnessed.
" Where did you learn to dance like that?"
He asks, following her back to the bar as the others sit at the table. Nina has a large grin on her face as she sits down and
begins to explain to Leo.
" Benny taught us, we used to be his weekend entertainment."
She tells him, slightly embaressed. Leo gives her a slightly confused look.
" Used to be?"
She looks away from him, a slightly hurt expression on her face.
" Yeah, some legal stuff went on and Benny couldn't keep us here anymore."
She explains. Not wanting to bore him with her memories she flags the bartender and orders a drink. Since he is fairly new
to the job, the bartender pours her drink into one of Bennys "special " glasses without knowing it and hands it to her. She
takes a few sips before turning back to Leo.
" You ever had a drink?"
She asks, trying to forget the previous subject.
" No"
He answers honestly.
" Here, try a bit of this, if you don't like it. it's cool."
She says, pushing her glass over to him. He looks at it cautiously and than looks at her.
" It's not gonna bite you Leo."
She reassures, taking another sip to prove her point, before placing the glass back in front of him. Carefully, he picks up the
glass and takes the smallest sip he can. As he swallows the liquid,he makes a sour face that causes Nina to laugh.
" You actually drink that stuff?"
He asks, pushing the glass back to her. Still laughing, she takes the glass and nods.
" It takes some getting used to."
She admits before taking another sip, a smile still crossing her lips as she looks at Leo, who is still trying to get over the
taste in his mouth.
" Now you tell me."
He says, smiling at her. Looking out at the dance floor she sees her friends and the other three dancing again but, this time
doesn't drag Leo out. They sit there through the next two songs in silence and she cradles her glass. A slow song begins to
play and she is surprised when Leo stands and offers his hand to her. Smiling, she takes it and they walk onto the floor
together and begin dancing.During the song, a strange feeling starts to come over Leo but, being who he is, he dismisses it.
After the dance they return to the bar and sit down, the strange feeling still getting to Leo. Not wanting something to happen
in the presence of all these people, he decides to leave. Turning to Nina, he notices that she seems to be acting a little
strange as well.
" Are you alright?"
Looking at him, she nods and points to her glass. He nods and walks over to where his brothers sit. Tapping Don on the
shoulder he lets him know what's up.
" I'm heading home, I'll see you guys there."
He says, Don nods his head and goes back to his previous conversation. Nina watches as Leo heads for the door, than looks
at the table where the others sit.
" So, much for Fearless takin a break."
Says Raph as he watches Leo briefly before turning back. Hoping that no one notices her, she follows Leo out the door,
meeting up with him again shortly, down the sidewalk.
" Hey, what's wrong?"
She asks, concerned. Shaking his head, he answers.
" I don't know, I just feel strange right now."
" You too huh?"
She says admittedly.
" It must be the alcohol."
She concludes, taking him around the arm.
" Come on, my apartments only a block away."
She states. He looks at her for a second before letting her tug him along, not paying any attention to the direction they are
traveling. They arrive in no time and she pulls her keys from her pocket, unlocking the door and leading Leo inside before
reclosing it. He looks around, unsure of what he should do.
" Go ahead and sit down, I'll be right back."
She invites,leaving the room. Leo does as he is instructed and sits on the couch, as Nina re-enters the room with a glass of
water. Sitting on the table in front of him, she hands Leo the glass.
" Here, this might help you feel better."
She says reassuringly.
" Thanks "
He says, taking the glass from her and taking a few sips. She watches, as he cradles the glass in his hands for a few seconds,
before moving to set it down on the table. Unfortunately, it slips from his fingers and heads straight for the floor.
Instinctively, they both reach for it but, it's Nina who catches it, not Leo. Since, his ninja skills aren't up to par at the
moment because of how he feels. Looking from
the glass to each other, they find that they are nose to nose, and look into each others eyes. Nina sets the glass down beside
herself on the table and becomes overtaken with a strange feeling of her own. Still nose to nose, they gently press their lips
together in a short kiss. When it ends, they look at each other again, their hearts beating wildly. They press their lips
together again, more firmly than before, and now completely overwhelmed with feeling. Leo wraps his arms around her
waste, as she wraps hers around his neck. Together, they stand and clumsily make their way to her bedroom, continuing to
kiss one another. Once in the room, Leo closes the door with his foot and they make their way to the bed where, Nina sits
down, still kissing Leo, as she pulls him on top of her. They lay there kissing one another, their tongues intertwining, as they
run their hands over each other. Nina pulls back the covers, as Leo runs a hand to the small of her back. He begins to kiss
his way down her neck and she reaches under his hoody, running her fingertips along his plastron. He gasps at her soft
touch, continuing to kiss her neck.
" Leo "
She whispers.He moves to her ear whispering.
" My full name's Leonardo, feel free to use it."
He captures her lips with his again and begins lifting her shirt. She lifts his hoody just enough to reach the waste of his jeans,
where she undoes them. Lifting off her shirt, he kisses down her neck to her chest, running a hand to the front of her pants,
undoing them. She slides his hoody off and tosses it to the floor with her shirt, placing soft kisses on his plastron. They slide
each others pants off and throw them down with their other clothes. Slipping a hand to her back, he unclasps her bra, sliding
it off as he kisses her lips. They kiss deeply and passionately, pressing themselves against one another. Sliding his hands
down, he removes her last item of clothing and runs a hand up her leg, stopping as he reaches her hip. Continuing to kiss
her, he pulls her tightly to him and begins making love to her. Soft moans escape them both as they continue, and softly she
says his name.
" Leonardo "
She says, running her nails along his shell.
" Nina "
He returns, kissing her neck and chest in various places. Simultaneously, they climax and Leo lays his head on Ninas chest,
listening to her heartbeat. She wraps her arms around him and they fall into a content and comfortable sleep. Leo and Nina
wake in her bedroom the next day, their heads slightly bothering them.
" Morning"
Leo says groggily, gently laying an arm over her.
" Morning"
She returns, equally as groggy. Their eyes fly open as their minds register what's just happened, and they snap their heads
to face each other.
" AAH! "
They scream, nearly jumping out of bed, staring at each other from opposite sides, Nina using the blanket to cover herself.
" Leo?"
She says curiously after a few seconds. Suddenly,it occurs to Leo that he isn't wearing his disguise anymore and that she can
see what he really is.
" What the shell did we do?"
He asks, realizing that she isn't running in terror at the sight of him.
" Well, isn't it obvious Leo?"
She answers, sarcasm entering her voice. She begins gathering her clothes from the floor hurridly, Leo doing the same. As
she bends down and reaches for Leos hoody, he reaches for it and their hands touch. They look into each others eyes and
swallow hard.
" I'm gonna get dressed."
She says, looking away from him and heading towards the door. Leo nods and picks up his hoody as he watches her leave
the room. Dressing quickly, he sits down on the bed waiting for her to return. As she re-enters the room,she looks at Leo
who nervously looks at her.
" I should go."
Not knowing what to do, she nods in agreement.
" Alright."
She says, only loud enough that Leo can hear. Uncertainly, Leo stands and heads for the door.Turning, Nina stops him just
as he gets to it.
" Leo,"
She says. Walking up to him, she looks into his eyes briefly and than kisses him. His eyes close as soon as their lips touch
and he kisses her back. They break off after a minute or two.
" What was that for?"
He asks. Looking into his eyes again.
" Something tells me that I won't see you for a while."
She tells him, and he smirks before turning to leave, looking back before heading out the apartment door.
OOOO, looks like Leo's gotten himself into somethin pretty serious.
