…

Leo's gaze dropped down to the floor and stared at the shadow casted upon the floor. He silently watched as the shadow's hands clenched and unclenched as if wanting to say something but verbally incapable to. Leo's eye casted downward even more until he was staring at his own shadow which stood proud and unmovable as if it could say whatever it want, but choose not to. But this wasn't about Leo's shadow but the one before him, Raph's. It's now was probably about one o'clock in the morning but for Raph he would stay up forever until Raph was ready to tell him whatever he wanted.

"Leo….I...um?...uh" Raph muttered under his breath and slapped his breath. Lord knows how long his being practicing in front his mirror and reciting to himself and here he is in front of his brother and nothing to say. What an idiot! Raph mentally kicked himself as he saw Leo's gazed slowly climb back to him.

"Raph, no. It's fine" Leo smiled gently and Raph just groaned loudly.

"No, no. It's not. I'm sorry, I woke you up this early" Raph apologized as he groaned and rubbed his face with his hands.

"No, Raph. It's ok, I usually get up around this hour, and meditate for a while anyway." Raph easily saw through the lie and frowned at Leo.

"No, you don't " Raph signed Leo gave a soft smile and shook his head.

"No, I don't" Leo nodded in agreeance Raph dropped head in his hands.

"You ok?" Leo asked leaning forward so that his shell wasn't on his bedroom door anymore. Raph's head was still buried in his hands shook his head 'no'.

"Are you gonna tell me what's bothering you?" Leo asked as he now stood not leaning on his door for support but his own two legs. Raph shook his head 'yes'. Leo was quiet for a second before he was suddenly pulled in by two thick warm arms into a warm chest. Leo tensed at the quick motion, but then relaxed when Raph wrapped both of his arms around him and pulled him close, burying his face in the crook of Leo's neck. Leo silently wrapped his arm back around Raph and brought both of them closer together.

"You know I forgave you right there no need for this" Leo whispered softly Raph only squeezed Leo tightly and shook his head.

"Yeah, I know but this...this is something different" Raph whispered back softly Leo signed.

"Is it a bad different?or a good different?" Leo asked shuddering a bit when he felt Raph's breathe against his neck.

"It depends on your answer" Raph replied back, as he slowly let go of Leo. Leo reluctantly let go of Raph so that they both could face each other.

"Well, you gotta tell me or I'll never know" Leo smile brightly but then it soon dropped when he saw Raph physically tense and his eyes widened a bit.

"Yeah, I guess I do don't I?" Raph whispered mostly to himself as he dropped his head. Leo watched Raph silently, watched as he was visibly tense and scared. Like a child caught with his hands in a cookie jar. Leo silently and skillfully moved close to Raph closing the distance, between them so that only a very thin sheet of paper could fit between them. Lifting his left hand and resting it on Raph's cheek it brought warming comfort to the both of them. Surprisingly Raph had leaned into Leo's touch and then and only then did Raph pick up his head, both of his eyes were closed. Then Leo raised his other hand and rested it upon Raph's other cheek, briefly Raphs eyelids twitched but remain closed. Leo's thumb played softly over Raph's cheeks, encouraging him to meet Leo's gaze. Raph's let a breathe passed his lips as he let his eyelids slowly open. When Raph finally met Leo's gaze, Leo eyes widen when he saw something in them he's never seen before. Fear, uncertainty, guilt, anger, worriedness, and self hatred all swam in Raph's eyes but that not all that swam there. Passion, trust, respect, happiness, eagerness ,and love. Leo softly smile and slowly dragged his hand downwards to rest on Raph's neck, and silently he pulled Raph against him. Leo understood why Raph could speak and tell him what was the matter. This feeling isn't normal for any of them but it doesn't mean they do feel it. Raph let Leo pull him in and buried his face in the crook of Leo's neck, taking in the much needed scent of Leonardo. When Raph was fully against Leo's plastron Leo moved his hand so that they wrapped around his neck and Raph's head buried in his neck. Leo lost track of how long they were like this, but the sudden movement of Raph leaning forward and grabbed Leo underneath his thigh and lifted him up, so he could get between his legs, and pressed him against his room door. Then Raph shifted so he could rest his forehead under Leo's chin, Leo's arms still around his neck. Raph moved his arms so that one can wrap around Leo's whole waist and the other still under Leo, supporting him whole.

"I don't know what to do" Raph whispered quietly shook his head as if trying to bury his head deeper in Leo's chest. Leo pulled Raph's head closer to his chest, and softly kissed the top of his head.

"What do you want to do?" Leo asked as he moved his head so that his cheek was touching the side of Raph's face. Raph pulled back and stared at Leo.

"Watch to see what happens" Raph admitted leaning forward

"What if you don't like what happens" Leo asked leaning in closer to him too.

"Well, that's when the fun begins" Raph said back as his lips gently met Leo's
