It's been a long time, since I've seen you

He glanced up, from the rooftop, to view the full moon as his blue mask blew from the light spring breeze. He shifted and saw her at a distance, the smoothness of her movements as she sped away. Her gray and light violet scales shone brightly against the cascading moonlight that beamed from the dark empty sky. How he wished that she would return to them, to him, to realize that he would always be there for her, even in her new mutant form. She was beautiful to him, and would always be. The way her eyes pleaded for help, the way she called his name, and the way she fell onto his hand made him want to scoop her up and embrace her until she would feel better.

The way she slithered away, made him want to chase her across any obstacle of danger. He wants her to realize the feelings that he carried for her. Leonardo continued to watch as she approached an abandoned building. He tilted his head off to the side and smiled prior to sprinting towards her.

You're beautiful forever in my eyes

Karai wanted to run to him, but she resisted. He deserved better, for he was honorable, trustworthy, and fair. She was not. She rejected the fact that the man who raised her was not her true father, yet the persistent ninja would constantly tell her, but she refused to embrace the truth. She was not worthy of him, and possibly never will be. Though she wished and desired to be by his side. She hoped that one day she could.

The kuniochi spotted him, watching her as she tried to run away from him. She glanced back and saw the tails of his mask float behind him. The serpent sighed out and rested on the cement floor of the rooftop. She waited because she knew that he would run towards her, as he always did. Karai heard his light footsteps and she shut her constricted pupils, and waited for him to approach her.

You weren't the same, you've change

"Karai." His voiced seemed lower to her, but made no remark. She tilted her head and looked up, noticing the maturity of his stance. Her tongue flicked out as she gently hissed. She did not mean it; her animal instincts were overpowering her. She grew self-conscious of her new body and shyly glanced down. He softly smiled at her new persona, but secretly wished that she would taunt him, as she always did before. A right hand reached down to graze the textured scales on the top of her head, making her look up at him.

"Leoooo," she moaned out. Her throaty voice was music to his ears and even in her new serpent form, he saw her attractiveness. The gentle caress that she was receiving made her groan out from the touch he gave her. "Leoooo," she slithered and coiled herself around him, wrapping her elongated body around his carapace, leaving his arms free to hug her back. Her hands hissed with pleasure as she nuzzled her face against his cheek. "I'm not a monsterrrrr." Leonardo wanted to tear up, for her thinking that way. Of course she was no monster, for she was pure at heart. He tightened his embrace and turned his head to face her. Karai's jade-colored eyes stared back at his azure irises.

So close, but so distant

"You are no monster, Karai." His forehead gently grazed the top of her snout before he whispered, "you're beautiful." She gasped while small tears ran down her slim cheeks. With his hands, he caught the salty liquescent from falling prior to leaning in to kiss her lips. She felt awkward, but elated by the moment and just wished that they would remain together. Her fangs scraped his bottom lip as he deepened his peck. She tightened her embrace which caused him to moan within their kiss. She rose up and pushed him back, still wrapped around his body, as he fell onto the dusty ground. His palms pressed against her upper back, bringing her closer to him, feeling the coolness of her scales underneath his fingertips. Leonardo pulled back and softly smiled at her. He blushed and glanced down before Karai flicked out her tongue to quickly tickle the spot between his eyes. He returned her gesture by giving her a peck on the tip of her nose before he uttered, "forever in my eyes."

It's cold miles away, from the love you once had

I couldn't help myself with another leorai drabble. They are just so freakin' cute! Especially in the 'Serpent Hunt' episode!
