Raphael tromped through the forest, doing his best to ignore the creatures that made his skin crawl with their buzzing sounds. It was irritating that even though it was late fall, the bug population was still going strong on their island. Even more irritating was the amused look on Donnie's face as he had tried to explain to Raphael why there were still so many bugs here. They'd made several trips to the island since their initial visit over the past two years and so far, Raph's personal favorite season for a visit was winter. Sure they couldn't swim and almost everyone else thought it was too cold to spend much time outside the house, but at least there weren't any bugs.
He stopped and looked at the trees and bushes around him. Someone had clearly been through here earlier, and they hadn't done a great job covering their tracks. And since he was pretty sure he knew who that someone was, he willing to bet he was walking right into a trap. He grinned and kept moving anyway.
Further into the forest, a thorny branch caught his arm and he cursed loudly at the long scratch marks that were left on his bicep. The thorns had scratched right through Leo's mark and Raph stopped walking to scowl and examine the damage. After a few moments, he was satisfied that once the scratches healed, there wouldn't even be a scar, but he still hated anything interfering with the mark that Leo had given him.
Speaking of his mate, Raphael lifted his eyes from his arm and scanned the forest in front of him. He could sense Leo nearby but couldn't see him anywhere.
Suddenly, there was a slight movement of the air and a quiet thud behind his shell. His arms were pulled behind him as his knees were knocked forward and he landed with a loud thud on his plastron on the leaf-covered ground.
"You don't even try to walk quietly," a voice whispered into his ear. "You are the loudest ninja on the planet."
Raph chuckled silently as he heard the combination of affection and reprimand in Leo's voice and didn't struggle as he felt Leo's solid weight on the back of his pinned shell. He felt Leo kiss the side of his neck before his arms were released. Leo pulled him up by his shoulders and onto his knees before he released him completely. He walked around to the front of the kneeling Raphael and ran a hand down the side of Raph's face.
"I think you lost this game on purpose," Leo said down to him with narrowed eyes.
Raph stared back up at him with amused eyes but managed to keep a grin off his face. His eyes traveled down Leo's body and one of his hands reached out and trailed a finger down Leo's thigh towards his knee.
"Uh uh. Losers don't get to touch."
Raph bit back a growl as his hand was batted away from the muscular legs he was so fond of. He did lose this game on purpose, not that he was about to admit that to Leo right now, but only because he wanted some alone time with Leo while everyone else was busy. He hadn't counted on Leo forbidding him from touching him. He watched as Leo circled back behind him and scowled again when Leo pushed his shoulders forward, forbidding Raph from twisting around.
Leo smiled down at the back of the still and begrudgingly submissive Raphael. He could tell Raph was getting aggravated, but he could practically feel the excitement that was also rolling off the emerald turtle.
He placed his hands lightly on Raph's shoulders before he let his hands move slowly down Raph's arms, stopping occasionally to massage over his favorite muscles. He walked back around to the front of his still kneeling turtle and dropped to his own knees in front of him so that he could easily kiss him.
The kiss was met eagerly as Raphael was already feeling a great need to touch Leo in any way that he possibly could. He tried to reach his hands forward to land on Leo but once again they were batted away and he was forced to keep his arms at his sides.
Leo pulled away from the kiss and smiled again at Raph's obvious frustration. He hoped Raph would re-think throwing their game so easily in the future. There had been something incredibly enticing in knowing that Raph was hunting him through the forest while he was hunting Raphael in return. It wasn't as much fun when Raph stomped noisily through the foliage, cursing loudly at both insects and branches that dared to touch him.
He rose to his feet and circled back around to Raph's shell, smirking as he saw Raph's hands bunch into fists. He leaned down to whisper into the side of Raph's face, his lips brushing against the skin as he spoke softly.
"Since you clearly need practice on how to be quiet, let's play a new game," he said, reaching down and gripping Raph's tail in his hand. He heard another sharp inhale from Raph. Leo continued as his fingers stroked down Raph's tail. "So I am going to touch you and you are going to remain completely silent."
Raphael tried to focus on Leo's whispered words as he felt those fingers move up and down his tail. It wasn't in his nature to be silent, especially when Leo's hands were groping him, and he cursed himself for literally stomping right into this game.
But those thoughts left him as Leo's fingers pinched his tail and he felt a churr rise up his throat.
Leo churred back at him in response, willing to forgive the involuntary noise they both made. "Any voluntary noise from you and I will immediately stop whatever I am doing," he said next. "So, do you want to play with me?" He let his tongue trail over the back of Raph's neck, exactly where he typically traced his fingers, and listened to Raph's sharp inhale.
Despite his aversion to silence, Raph knew there was no question about whether or not he wanted to play with Leonardo. He turned his head towards Leo's face and nodded.
Leo pinched his tail again and Raph blew out another sharp exhale.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" Leo asked in a low tone.
Raph wasn't sure if answering Leo's questions would count as making too much noise so instead of opening his mouth to respond, he wiggled his tail between Leo's fingers.
Leo smiled again and finally pulled Raphael up to his feet. He released Raph's tail and let both hands slide up and down one of Raph's arms as he reached his tongue out to trail over Raphael's bicep.
"What did you do?" Leo murmured as he came across the scratch marks ripping through his mark.
His tongue traced over the scratches and Raph bit back yet another groan of pleasure. He panted out loud breaths and scowled at Leo when Leo pulled his tongue away and raised an eye ridge. He shut his mouth and forced his breaths through his nose, which was admittedly quieter although not as satisfying.
He scowled harder at Leo's sudden smug smile.
Satisfied, Leo returned his tongue to trailing over Raph's arm as one hand moved down to rub across Raph's slit. He listened to Raph's admittedly loud breaths through his nose as a bulge began to form in Raph's lower plastron.
"Can't be too hard to keep quiet if this is getting hard so easily, huh Raphie?" Leo purred at him as he shifted his body so that his mouth could reach Raph's neck.
Raph squeezed his eyes shut and bit back a groan as a shiver ran through him. That was pretty much as close as it came to dirty talk from Leonardo and it figured he'd pull it out when Raphael wasn't allowed to say anything back. His fists tightened as he once again forced them to stay at his sides. And he even remained quiet when he felt Leo's mouth leave his neck as Leo dropped to his knees once again and began trailing his tongue over his slit. He dropped down only a moment later and let a string of curse words fly through his head as he was pulled into Leo's warm mouth.
Leo's hands gripped Raph's muscular thighs as his amused blue eyes rose to watch the emerald face scrunch in what he was sure was equal parts pleasure and frustration. He was glad Raph was so willing to play along with this game, but he realized he was missing the sounds he normally earned from his favorite turtle.
He refocused on his efforts to pull Raphael towards his throat as Raph's musky scent filled his nose. He let himself moan loudly and listened to Raph's loud exhale in response. He pressed Raphael to the roof of his mouth as a churr rolled up his throat and his fingers tightened around Raph's legs to help steady him as he felt Raphael tip over the edge to his release.
Raph's hands shot out and grabbed hold of Leo's shoulders to support himself as his legs began to shake and he suddenly roared out Leo's name, completely unable to keep in the loud shout.
The game of silence was momentarily forgotten as Leo couldn't help but be pleased to hear Raphael screaming his name. He tightened his mouth around Raphael until Raph's convulsions stopped and then smiled as he watched Raphael collapse down on his shell on the ground.
"Ya drive me crazy, Leo," Raph panted.
Leo rolled to his own shell and settled down next to Raphael. He looked over at him and waited until those green eyes met his. "I want you to actually hunt me next time," he said in a dark voice.
Raph felt another churr rise up his throat as the sound of Leo's husky voice and sight of those blue eyes staring hard at him. And for the first time since Leo had proposed the initial hunting game, Raph realized that Leo had been looking forward to being hunted through the forest. By him. He was beginning to think about another round when he heard someone approaching them.
The sound of footsteps was quickly replaced by an exasperated sigh.
"Did you seriously forget that you sent the entire team out here on this little training exercise?" Donnie asked them, clearly agitated over finding his brothers panting on the ground where anyone could've come across them. He figured he should at least be thankful for his good timing.
"Of course not," Leo said, making zero effort to lift himself off the ground. "I just thought I'd hear you coming."
"None of us are as loud as Raphael."
"Thanks Donnie," Raph said, grinning over at him.
"That wasn't a compliment," Donnie growled, turning away from them. "I'm counting this as finding both of you and going back to the house."
Leo watched Raph smirk over at him as Donnie left.
"So, am I allowed to touch you now?" Raph asked. He wasn't ready to sit up yet but began to reach his hand over to grab Leo.
"Sure," Leo said, moving his arm away before Raphael could get a hold of him, "as soon as you find me."
Raph growled as he watched Leo move completely out of his reach once again. His mate was off the ground, into the trees and out of his sight in the next moment.
"Alright, Leo. Huntin time," he whispered.
A/N: I don't know why I like teasing Donnie so much. I just do. Can't help it.
