New Life and New Feelings Chapter 9
When Raphael and Leonardo both got outside they couldn't help but to start laugh at how easily it was to fool Leo's father. And when they had gotten a few blocks away from the apartment Leo lives in Raph took Leo's hand in his own.
After a few hours of walking they finally reached Raph's house and while Raph went inside to get the keys to his motorcycle as well as two helmets Leo had walked into the kitchen and started to make food that they could have during their picnic. Leo may not be the best person when it comes to cooking but he figured that a few sandwiches should be enough. After a few minutes Raph walked into the kitchen and looked and Leo and he couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle.
"What's so funny?" Raph asked and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Nothing I just got an image in my head. I know that my younger brothers will find out about us sooner or later and I just got a mental image on Mikey's reaction" Leo answered and let out another chuckle.
"Oh really? And how would he react?" Raph asked as he watched Leo finish up in the kitchen.
"He would react in a childish matter, you know like saying we are sitting in a tree kissing each other" Leo responded and put the sandwiches in a bag since they were going to ride a motorcycle it would have been a bit hard to bring a basket with them.
"I see" Raph responded and headed for the door and he heard Leo putting away the things he used to make the sandwiches before he grabbed the bag and hurried after Raph.
"Is this the first time you are riding a motorcycle?" Raph asked as he closed the door after Leo once both of them were outside.
"Yeah it is" Leo answered and put on the bag.
Raph locked the door to his house before he walked over to the motorcycle that stood on the drive way. Leo followed him and looked at the motorcycle in curiosity, he have always wanted to ride a motorcycle but he was scared that he would crash with it and he also knew that his father would never allow him to ride one. Leo's father thought it was enough that his sons were allowed to drive the van Donnie rebuilt into their own battle vehicle even though none of them had a driver's license. Raph looked at Leo once he was at the motorcycle and saw the look on Leo's face and he couldn't help but to smirk.
"You look nervous, you sure you're okay?" Raph asked as he placed one of the helmets on the saddle of the motorcycle.
"Yeah I'm fine and of course I'm nervous, I've never been on a motorcycle before" Leo answered and looked at Raph.
"Well you have nothing to worry about, I'll be careful. Here" Raph said as he handed the other helmet to Leo.
Leo took the helmet and put it on and Raph did the same and when Raph had the helmet on he got on the motorcycle and started it, Leo waited until he heard the sound from the engine before he got on the motorcycle behind Raph. When Raph felt to arms wrap around his waist he slowly drove away from his house and since Leo was not prepared for it he tighten the grip around Raph's waist but after he while he loosened the grip and looked over Raph's shoulder so he could see the road. And like Raphael said he did take it easy, normally Raph drove a bit faster than he was allowed to but that was only when there were no cops around but since he knew he had Leo as a passenger he decided it would probably be best if he didn't drive faster than the set speed limit. Leo who had never been riding a motorcycle before couldn't help but smile as the two of them drove down the street.
Two hours later they were heading back to Raph's but this time Raph was driving a bit faster than last time since Leo had told him it was okay. Even though it went a bit too fast for Leo's taste he still enjoyed it and the smile he had when he first got on the motorcycle never left his face as he enjoyed just having the alone time Raph. Raphael didn't mind either since school kept them both busy and since they were training as well they never seemed to get some time for themselves so when he finally got to be with Leo he didn't complain.
The ride back to Raph's house wasn't long and when Raph stopped at the driveway and turned off the engine Leo felt a bit disappointed, he had hoped that the ride would last a bit longer. As they got off the bike and took off their helmets Leo couldn't help but to notice the smirk Raph had on his face and the made Leo wonder Raph was planning this time, whenever Raph had a smirk on his face Leo know he was up to something and sometimes it wasn't a very good idea.
"What's going through your head now Raph?" Leo asked and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Nothing" Was the only respond he gave Leo before he walked over to the front door and unlocked it before he held the door open for Leo.
"I hope you're not lying to me Raph…. You know I hate it when people lie to me…" Leo explained as he walked in through the front door while his eyes were still on Raph.
"I'm not lying Leo" Raph said as a matter-of-factly before he walked into the house after Leo and closed the door as he walked inside.
Just like every other tie he had been to Raph's house it was empty and completely silent, so much different than his own home which made Leo a bit uncomfortable, Leo was far too used to the noise his brothers were doing that he felt lost and alone and it showed and the moment Raph saw the look in Leo's eyes he wrapped an arm around Leo's waist and pulled Leo closer to himself. The action caused Leo to Look at Raph and the moment he saw the faint smile on Raph's face Leo couldn't help but to smile back.
"What's on your mind Leo? I've never seen you look so down before." Raph asked while looking at Leo with concern written all over his face and Leo couldn't help but to smile, he knew he wasn't alone yet the feeling lingered in the back of his head.
"Nothing, I'm just not used to being in an empty home where it's so quiet. My brothers can be pretty loud and I guess after all these years I got so used to it without even knowing it" Leo responded while he looked around the empty house.
"You know we don't have to be here if you don't want to" Raphael responded and looked at Leo and wrapped an arm around Leo's waist.
"That's not what I meant" Leo started and let out a light chuckle before he turned his head to his right to look at Raph.
"I actually enjoy the silence. I rarely get it back home so it feels kind of good" Leo finished and smiled as to prove his point.
"If you say so Leo" Raph responded and gave Leo a smile as he walked into the living room to start a movie just like they had planned.
"Hope you don't mind if we watch an action movie" Raph said as he turned to look at Leo the moment Leo walked into the living room.
"No I don't mind" Leo responded and walked over to the couch and sat down on it.
Raphael just went through the movies before he picked a random action movie and put the disc in the DVD and started the movie, since Raph had taken some time to do that Leo had walked into the kitchen and made some popcorn for them before he walked back and sat down on the couch again. As the movie started with the opening credits Raph got up from the floor and walked over to the couch and sat down on the couch next to Leo.
"Hope you don't mind I made some popcorn" Leo said as he placed the bowl with popcorn in on the coffee table and leaned to lay his head on Raph's chest.
"No I don't mind" Raph responded and wrapped his arm around Leo.
Hours later when the movie was over Leo looked at the time one his T-phone and when he saw that it was almost 1 am his eyes widen and he jumped off the couch which caused Raph to look at him surprise.
"Where's the fire?" Raph asked in a joking matter as he got up from the couch as well and turned off the TV, took out the movie disc from the DVD, turned off the DVD and put the movie back where he got it.
"It's 1 am…. If my dad finds out… He's going to flip!" Leo said in with a slight sound of panic in his voice as he walked into the hallway and put on his jacket and shoes.
"Over protective father?" Raph asked and raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"A bit…. He's not my real father but he has taken care of me and my brothers all our lives so he sort of is like my real father…. Besides he lost his family once before so I guess that's why he is so over protective" Leo admitted and looked at Raph.
"And your real parents?" Raph asked as he walked over to Leo.
"Don't know…. I've never met them" Leo said and wrapped his arms around Raph and gave him a kiss before he let go and walked out the door.
"I'll see you later Raph" Leo said before he closed the door after him and ran down the streets towards his apartment.
Raphael watched Leonardo leave and leaned against a wall and crossed his arms over his chest. He had a nagging feeling that Leo was hiding something from him and he wanted to know what it was. At the same time he didn't since he thought it might it might ruin what they have and that is something Raph doesn't want to happen.
As Raph was back in his house trying to figure out what Leo might be hiding from him Leo ran down the empty streets of New York as he tried to get back home as fast as possible.
Aw shell this is not good! Master Splinter is going to kill me!
Leo thought as he made it inside the apartment building and hurried up the stairs to his apartment door. When he got there he took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door as silently as possible before he opened the door just big enough for him to slip through the door before he closed it and locked it as quietly as he could. Once he was finally inside he heard something coming from the living room, not knowing what could cause the sound Leo silently walked into the living room and looked over the couch and what he saw made him stop dead in his tracks.
M-Mikey? D-Donnie? What are you two doing?" Leo asked quietly as he watched his brothers quickly pull away from each other, ending their little make out session.
::Note::
I am so sorry this took way too long for me to finish. :c And I'm sorry I missed out the whole date scenario but I've never been to a date nor do I know what a good date in New York is. :c My lack of knowledge and imagination made me skip the whole thing so I could finish the chapter and upload it for you to read.
Again I'm sorry! I'll try to upload new chapters more often but with school and so many fanfictions to finish I can't promise anything.
Hope you still enjoyed this chapter and have great day/night.
