Chapter Two
In Heaven
Meanwhile, everyone had gone back inside the farmhouse and had headed to bed, April and Casey had gone into their own room, Mona had gone into the small bedroom at the back of the house and the turtles and Splinter had gone upstairs.
Before the turtles and Mona retired to bed, Raphael remained behind as Splinter, Michelangelo and Donatello had gone upstairs so he could say goodnight to Mona.
Mona blushed as she stood at her bedroom door and Raphael stroked her cheek. "I had a great evening Raphael..." she said.
"It was the best night of my life Mona" said Raphael "I never thought I'd meet someone like you"
Mona placed her hand on his, "I dunno why I didn't tell you before" she said "I always had a thing for you since getting to know you more"
Raphael gave her the evil smirk and Mona felt her heart skip a beat.
"I feel like the luckiest Mutant turtle alive" said Raphael as he stroked her hair, "now that I've found you"
Mona looked up at him, "and I feel healed..." she said "You've made me so happy"
"And I will continue to make you happy babe" said Raphael gently pulling Mona close to him and placing his lips on her forehead "I promise".
He then went for her lips and they shared another passionate kiss, Mona wrapped her arms around his neck and her fingers fiddled with the red flowing ribbons from his ninja mask and Raphael wrapped his strong arms around her waist and shoulders and felt her soft dark ringlets with his fingers.
"Awww!" whispered Michelangelo as he and Donatello watched from the top of the stairs, "isn't that a cute sight!"
"Sure is!" said Donatello "Raphael's like a different turtle almost, so calm...so in love..." Michelangelo nodded.
"My sons!" the two young turtles almost jumped out of their shells as they saw Splinter standing above them with his arms folded, "Do you think it would be wise to let your brother and his mate have some privacy?" he asked.
Donatello and Michelangelo looked embarrassed and looked at the floor.
"Yes sensei" they sighed standing up and walking up to the room, Splinter narrowed his eyes at the two nosy turtles then followed them upstairs.
Not long after that, he heard Raphael walk up the steps. "Ah Raphael" said Splinter "You and Mona have said your goodnights?"
"Yeah Sensei" said Raphael walking over to a camp bed near the window.
Michelangelo and Donatello turned to their brother and began grinning. They then hopped over to him, "sooo!" said Donatello "how was it?"
"What?" asked Raphael cocking his head on one side.
Donatello gave Raphael a look as if he was an idiot, "you know!" he said "Kissing!" before giggling in excitement.
Michelangelo chortled and giggled.
Raphael looked annoyed at Michelangelo "Well...erm..." he said "It was kinda nice..." Donatello gave a goofy grin, "really?" he asked "what did it feel like?"
"Wet..." said Raphael, "...in a good way...it was like...like"
"Like what?" asked Michelangelo eagerly.
"Like..." said Raphael, he then sighed softly "it was like the soft petals of a rose...or a lotus flower..."
"Ooooo!" said Michelangelo and Donatello together "you're really in love Raphael!" said Donatello.
"I can see it all now!" said Michelangelo "Love! Marriage! Babies!"
Raphael's eyes widened, "Mikey!" he cried, but Michelangelo wasn't listening and continued to chant, "And Don, Leo and I get to be uncles...OW!" he yelped as he felt Raphael smack him across the head and Donatello yank on his mask ribbons.
"Cut that out Mikey!" said Donatello "don't get too excited!"
"Kids!" cried Raphael "Mona and I have just gotten together as mates!"
Michelangelo rubbed his head, "just saying bro!" he said.
"Well you two make a great couple!" said Donatello ignoring Michelangelo "way to go Raphie boy!" "Thanks!" said Raphael blushing.
He then lay back on his camp bed as he thought more about Mona, "She's like a geisha...so beautiful...but deadly!"
"Don't blame you bro!" said Donatello "she is a babe!"
"Ditto to that!" said Michelangelo "Indeed a very beautiful mutant girl" said Splinter "like the daughter I never had"
"When I first kissed her, I didn't want to let her go..." said Raphael "I know I'm in love...She's so pretty, and her personality...wow, she's such fun to be around, and we have a lot in common too"
"That's a bonus bro" said Donatello, "All these emotions I never knew before" said Raphael "now I'm feeling them...I feel...like I'm in heaven"
Splinter smiled, "You are feeling a new light in your soul my son" he said.
Raphael looked up at Splinter, "You're right there Sensei" he said "it's like a fire in my soul, a really bright roaring flame nothing can douse"
Donatello then yawned "well" he said "I'm gonna hit the hay" he said as he walked over to his camp bed.
"What about Leo?" asked Michelangelo "he's still not back from his walk, he has been gone a while"
"Good point" said Raphael sitting up at the looking out of the window "I wonder what he's doing out there"
Splinter walked to the window and looked out, "your brother has done this before" he said "he has stayed out for hours in the past"
"He'll be ok though?" said Michelangelo.
"Of course he will Mikey" said Raphael "for as long as we've known Leo, he's a big boy, he can take care of himself"
"Indeed!" said Donatello "he's a tough turtle"
Splinter looked out of the window and looked thoughtful, he knew his oldest son was ok when it came to taking care of himself, but he was worried about how he would react to Mona and Raphael's relationship.
After seeing the way Raphael and Leonardo competed for Mona's affections he was worried how the other react if Mona choose one of them, all he could do was hope Leonardo would accept it.
Splinter watched as Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael snuggled under some blankets on their camp beds and start to settle down, he switched off the light and went over to his own bed; he then lay down and stared at the ceiling as he let his thoughts wonder.
After an hour had past Leonardo made it back to the farmhouse, he saw that everyone had gone to bed and the lights were off in the farmhouse.
He felt the sense of emptiness and weirdness as he thought about how over a few hours ago the front of the house was filled with everyone laughing and partying after Mona has completed her tests and was made an official ninja.
He could still smell the hot coals on the barbecue even though it had been put out and there were a couple of paper plates on the ground that someone had dropped.
Leonardo sighed then looked up at the farmhouse, it was really quiet and he knew everyone was asleep. He didn't want to draw any attention to himself by going inside and waking everyone. He then looked towards the large barn next to the house.
With a heavy heart he walked to the barn and over to a bed of straw and blankets, he took one of the blankets and laid it over the straw then sat down.
Leonardo then looked up at the beams above and saw a couple of owls next a nest.
He sighed and looked down, even though he had cried all the tears he could cry and his eyes were stinging, his soul felt like it had been ripped apart and nothing could heal the wounds he was feeling within.
Leonardo lay down in the straw and curled up tightly as he tried to get some sleep.
But every time he closed his eyes he saw Raphael and Mona holding each other and kissing passionately, he felt bile rising in throat, but he tried to force the image out of his head and think of something else.
He had managed it before with meditation, but this time it was so hard.
Leonardo tried to clear his mind as he tried to let sleep take him, but it was so hard, seeing Mona kissing his brother like having a knife go through his body, he had been stabbed and shot by his enemies before and they had burned his body with pain, but this pain was greater than any physical pain he had felt.
Leonardo hugged his body tightly as he tried to clear him mind, as he did, he started feel exhausted from trying.
He relaxed into the sofa straw and despite his mind still being full with his heartbroken thoughts; he slipped into a dreamless sleep.
So Raphael's walking on air! But Poor Leonardo's disheartened.
Hope you enjoyed the little RaphxMona fluff, they'll be more in the chapters to come so stay tuned!
