Back and bringing you a cute Christmas chapter too! Enjoy my Raph lovers! :3
Is That Mistletoe?
"Everything looks great April. You've really out done yourself," You place your hands on your hips and smile at the red-head. "The lair looks really festive."
"Thanks [Y/N]!" She smiles and gets back to making Christmas cookies. You help her baking process speed up by throwing together some punch. The turtles wanted to have a little Christmas eve party with some of their closest friends, which included, you, Casey Jones, and April O'Neil. So, while the guys were out for a quick patrol, you and April were baking a bunch of goodies to snack on once they got back. As you stirred the punch, Master Splinter walked in with a book in his hands.
"How are the party preparations going girls?" Master Splinter asks as he sits down at the table with the book.
"Good! We're just about done making the sweets," April smiles.
"What have you got there, Master Splinter?" You ask as you sit down next to him, pointing to the book.
He smiles. "This is an old photo album I have from when my sons were very small. It was our first Christmas and I had found a disposable camera in the sewers. Last year, I found the camera and had April develop the photos." He opens the cover and the first picture you see is one of the four guys when they were little. None of them had masks yet but you could clearly tell who was who just by their expressions and colors of their irises. Little Mikey had bunches and bunches of freckles on his beak. He had a freaked out expression on his face as Little Raph had him in a head lock with a devilish expression on his face. Little Leo and Little Donny were just smiling as they had their arms around each other.
"No way!" You squeal as you embrace the cuteness of the picture.
"Yes way," Master Splinter chuckles. "I knew you would like to see it."
"April! Have you seen there?" You laugh as you scan some more pictures.
"Yes, I have. And let me tell you now there are some pretty cute ones of Raph in towards the back." April laughs.
"Uh uh!" You gasp. She nods with a laugh.
"Hey everyone!" Mikey yells as the four of them walk in with Casey following.
"How's the baking going?" Donny asks.
"Great! But somebody stopped helping so she can look at old pictures of four small mutant turtles," April laughed.
"Say what?" Raph asks suspiciously.
"Raph! Aw! You guys were so cute when you were little!" You squeal as you hold up the book for them to see.
"Oh no!" Raph protests and steals the book from you.
"AH!" You shriek and chase after your turtle beau as he tries to keep the pictures away from you. "Raph! Give it back!" You whine.
"Not a chance babe!" He says. As he looks back at you though, he doesn't see Donny swipe the book from him and run towards you.
"Yes! Go Donny!" You cheer as he hands it to you and you take off back to the kitchen. As soon as you get in there, you sit in your chair and hug the book to your chest so Raph can't take it from you.
"That book also reminds me of a story I've wanted to share with you [Y/N]," Master Splinter says.
"Please, continue Master." You say with a bat of your eyes, making Raph roll his. Master Splinter laughs.
"When my sons were young, we would always decorate the lair for the season. One year, I had found a small mistletoe plant floating around in the sewers. I decided to bring it back to the lair and decorate with. My sons did not know what it was though. One evening I decided to tell them the tradition to the plant. They were all horrified to learn that stepping under it meant kissing the person that was standing underneath with them. Raphael was especially horrified. He was my son that always thought girls were nothing but trouble. And I was afraid he would never break from that mindset until he met you, [Y/N]," He smiles at you and you smile back. "But anyways, my sons never went near the plant for the rest of the season, and they did for years more until they were finally old enough to realize that you didn't always have to kiss under the mistletoe." He chuckles. "Every time Raphael would see a plant that looked like mistletoe, he would back up and ask me "Is that mistletoe?" and if it was, he would flee."
"Aw. Poor Raphie is afraid of mistletoe?" Mikey laughs and soon Casey, Leo, and Donny joined in the mockery. Raph's face was already red, but he blushed even more after that remark.
"I am not!" Raph protests.
"Oh really? How can we believe you Raph?" Leo taunts.
"Yer just gonna have ta believe me!" Raph says.
"Ya know what buddy? I think I'd believe ya if ya proved it to us," Casey smirks and points across the lair, where April had set up mistletoe in at the entrance of the lair earlier that day. "Ya know... If ya ain't chicken," Casey chuckles. The other turtles start laughing at Raph's reaction, which looks like a mixture of anger and disbelief.
"I ain't chicken!" Raph growls.
"Yeah? Den prove it," Casey grins and nods towards you. Your eyes go wide and before you can even protest, Raph is dragging you out of your seat and to the lair entrance. You struggle to keep up with him and his fast pace.
"Oh! Look at dat! Is dat mistletoe? What a surprise!" Raph says loud enough for the others to hear across the lair. He positions you right underneath the little plant with him. Before you can say anything, he dips you romantically and kisses you passionately. Everyone in the kitchen claps, yells, and whistles at the two of you. Your head spins at the ferocity of the kiss and a few minutes later, Raph brings you back up. You both are out of breath and a little surprised from the kiss. But then you smile.
"So, not afraid of mistletoe anymore?" You grin.
"Nope. Not anymore." He chuckles and kisses you again.
Dawww... I have no idea how I came up with this idea. But it sure is original, huh? Raph afraid of mistletoe... Hehehe. ;D
