I don't own TMNT this counts the last chapter too. I forgot to put this there -_-.
Leo blushed and sat back down while Lexi and Raphael both laughed. Leo mumbled something and left for the kitchen, still blushing. Lexi was still laughing and ended up falling over into Raph's lap. He immediately stopped laughing and blushed looking down at her. When Lexi finally gained her composure she looked up at Raph's face. Her face twisted in confusion then realization and she started blushing as she sat up fast. They both refused to look at each other and were blushing furiously. Leo then came back and brought Lexi's attention back to Space Heroes. For once Raph was thankful for Leo's timing; though he kept shooting Raphael amused glances. Eventually giving up on his comic book Raphael walked into the kitchen and found Donnie sitting at the table grinning like a love struck idiot.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Raphael asked him.
The smile didn't leave Donnie's face as he handed Raph what he recognized as Lexi's phone with head phones plugged in. The phone was a large touch screen and the voice recorder was open. Curiously Raph put the ear buds in and pressed on the only recording. It was silent for a moment but Lexi's voice filled his ears.
"Do you like any of them?" she asked. April's voice responded.
"I dunno," she replied.
"Come on you don't even think one of them is cute?" Lexi persisted.
"Well… Donnie is pretty cute," she said slowly.
"Uh huh?" Lexi said.
"He's smart and really sweet, and I like it when he gets all flustered," April confessed.
"It sounds like you liiike him," Lexi teased.
"Maybe I do!" April replied defensively. "What about you?"
"Hm?" Lexi replied.
"Do you like any of them?" April clarified. Raph tensed waiting for Lexi's answer.
"What? I-uh- don't- no!" Lexi stuttered. Raph frowned.
"Look at your face you totally do!" April said. "Who is it?"
"I'm not telling," Lexi said stubbornly.
"Oh come on! I told you who I liked!" April complained, Lexi sighed.
"Alright, alright it's-"
"LEXI!" Mikey's voice yelled interrupting Lexi.
There was a sigh of relief and the recording ended. Raph took the headphones out and gave the device back to Donnie. He looked like he was daydreaming so Raph just placed it on the table. He sat down and started to think. Lexi wouldn't like Mikey; he was like a brother to her. Donnie wasn't her type. That only left him and Leo. This troubled Raphael and he started to worry more about tomorrow. He hadn't really noticed how much time had passed when Lexi stood in front of him waving her hand in front of his face. He snapped out of his trance and noticed her bent in front of his face looking worried.
"Huh?" he said. Lexi rolled her eyes and dropped her hand.
"I asked if you were okay," she said.
"Oh uh yeah I'm fine," Raph replied rubbing the back of his neck.
"Good, I just came to say I'm leaving," she told him. Raph froze.
"So soon?" he asked. Lexi gave him a weird look.
"Soon? Dude I've been here for hours," she said. Raph shook his head and looked at the clock over the stove.
"Oh," he replied lamely. Lexi giggled before turning and leaving the kitchen. Raph sat still for a second before he followed her out. "Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked.
Lexi stopped and turned around looking uncomfortable. He noticed the slight colour to her normally pale cheeks. Noticing he was staring he blushed and looked at his feet. Her words pierced the uncomfortable silence.
"Um Leo's taking me, but, maybe next time okay?" she said quietly.
All Raph could do was nod slowly. He stood and watched as she walked over to Leo who was waiting for her at the door. They smiled at each other before Leo put his hand on the small of her back and guided her out. His eyes narrowed and once they were gone he stalked into the dojo. When he walked over to his punching bag he saw it was crumpled in a sad heap on the floor. Kicking it in frustration Raph left for his room. Entering he saw the rose he planned on giving Lexi. It reminded him of her. It was beautiful and soft but dangerous. Just the thought of her made him smile.
His smile faltered as he thought of Leo. He decided to go to bed before he broke something. His bed was a bit lumpy but he liked it that way. Sleep came easily to Raph when he was dreaming about Lexi. He imagined that she would pick him over Leo. Leo the leader, Leo who had everything easy, Leo who got everything. He smirked at the thought of Leo not getting what he wanted for once.
Sorry if you think Raph is OOC but this is how I think he would act if he was in love so. R&R!
