Leo elbowed Mikey in the side for the fifth time as Mikey excitedly, but loudly, moved through the hotel's breakfast buffet line. Leo had woken up with a headache and it seemed like Mikey had his volume turned all the way up this morning.
"We should set up all meals like this!" Mikey exclaimed, eyeing the fifteen breakfast choices.
"You do set up all meals like this at your apartment," Leo said, pushing his little brother further down the line.
"Not like this, dude. They've got-,"
"I get it Mikey. Everyone here gets it," Leo said as he helped Machi reach the yogurt she wanted. He followed Machi back to their table and sat down between her and Raphael.
"Violet called earlier," Akito said. He'd already finished his breakfast and was eager to get on with the rest of their day. "She wanted to know if we could do something with them. Can we?" He expected a quick answer but instead he watched his fathers exchange an unsure glance.
"I don't think we're gonna see them today," Raph said.
"I'm actually not sure when we're going to see them again, buddy," Leo said, wanting to be as straight-forward as possible with their son. "Let's just get through our current family problem, OK?" He could see that Akito wanted to protest and he knew he'd have to come up with a solution for their son concerning Violet. He didn't want Akito and Violet to suffer just because he and Usagi weren't going to be friends any longer.
"Yer dad and I might have to head home tonight or tomorrow to help yer Aunt Miwa," Raph pitched in. "And we're gonna need you to help yer uncles watch over Aunt April, Machi and Shadow."
"You're going back?" Donnie asked, his head twisting in their direction from his side of the table when he heard them talking to Akito.
"We can't just stay here forever and wait to see what Stockman might or might not do," Leo said.
"Yeah, but it's been like one day, dude," Mikey said, scrunching up his face.
"What if Stockman has actually made retromutagen?" Donnie asked. "You made us all come because we're supposed to be avoiding him."
"Don't you remember how bad it was when all the mutagen was sucked out of Raph at the farmhouse? I'm not going through that again," Mikey said.
Woody frowned next to Mikey as he watched Mike actually shudder. He'd never heard of any occasion where any of the turtles had been de-mutagenized. It hit him suddenly that he could actually lose Mikey if this Stockman guy got his way and he exchanged a quick worried glance with his sister across the table.
"Of course I remember that," Leo growled back at him. He subconsciously put his hand on Raph's forearm and squeezed.
"What happened?" Akito asked, his eyes wide as he heard his dad actually growl. Out of all his family members, he could always count on his Uncle Mikey to tell him stories about the missions the four turtle brothers went on as teenagers. But he'd never heard the one where his pops had all the mutagen sucked out of him.
Leo's eyes shot over to Akito and then down to Machi who was also listening intently. "That was an entirely different situation, Michelangelo," he said, shooting Mikey a warning glance.
Mikey ignored him. "Fine, you'd be turned into regular turtles instead of a plant-,"
"Papa turned into a plant?" Machi asked in a small voice.
"Just for a little while," April said from the other side of Machi as she rubbed the little fox's shoulder.
"I'm not sure that's helpful," Leo said.
Raph reached over and pried Leo's bruising fingers off his arm. Leo didn't seem to notice. His hand subconsciously moved to Raph's leg and held on tight there instead. This time his grip wasn't pinching like it had been on his arm, so Raph let Leo's hand stay there. He didn't actually remember the original farmhouse incident with The Creep at all. He remembered walking through the woods before The Creep captured him and then he remembered waking up to the worried faces of his family. Donnie had filled him in later and he was rather happy not to have any memory of it. He realized now, though, that Mike and Leo never talked about it and he noticed that the color had drained out of both their faces.
"He was actually kinda cute," Mikey said to Machi, trying his best to lighten the mood despite the pit in his stomach. "Part of him turned into a flower."
Leo rested his face in his both his hands. "Why can't we just have normal breakfast conversations?" he muttered.
"We haven't decided we're goin yet," Raph said, desperate to change the subject before his kids were traumatized and Leo and Mikey got any more depressed looking.
"Hey, Leo and Raph," Sadie said, anxious to change the subject as well. "Why don't you two go do something today and the rest of us will stay with the kids?"
Leo was about to protest when he felt Raph perk up next to him. He turned to his emerald turtle and his eyes softened when he saw Raph's eager face.
"Well, we are in a place where we're free to go anywhere in the city. And there are some things I've always wanted to do with ya," Raph said to him.
"In public?" Donatello asked from the other end of the table.
"Yes, in public," Raph said, smirking back at his brainy brother. He turned back to Leo. "I think they'd be OK if they all stuck together."
"OK," Leo conceded, before Raph had a chance to start jutting out his lower lip at him. "A couple hours."
Akito called Violet as soon as he returned to his hotel room with his aunts and uncles to tell her he probably wouldn't be seeing her today.
"Akito, I think something happened," Violet said, her voice low. "Uncle Usagi spent the night here on the couch last night. He just woke up and he said our ninjitsu training is completed and that we won't be going back to the Hamato dojo."
"What?" Akito asked, immediately alarmed. He thought back to the look his fathers had exchanged at breakfast. "My dad didn't say anything like this that this morning. But he did say he didn't know when we'd see you guys again."
"You're so close for a change," Violet said, her voice sad. "I want to see you."
Akito agreed with her. Sitting in this hotel room while she was practically down the street felt like a waste of time.
Leo didn't watch sports on television. Mainly because it seemed extremely lazy to sit still and watch others exercise in front of you. He didn't understand pinning his hopes on a particular team to win. Or yelling at a screen when no one you're yelling at can hear you. But, he realized, he didn't have those same feelings as he sat in a baseball stadium seat next to Raphael. There was something fun about watching the players in person and, unlike at home where he was bored to death between batters, there was plenty going on in the stadium to keep them entertained as the game moved along. Since they weren't familiar with either team, Raph had assigned them fans of the home team and Leo also noticed that it was hard not to be entertained as he watched Raphael's green eyes light up when someone scored a run or even turn to a scowl at every out.
Raph leaned over and bumped shoulders with him.
"Yes, its fun," Leo said in response, bumping his shoulder back. His earlier headache was forgotten as he enjoyed sitting outside in the sun. "You want a hot dog?" he asked as he watched a vendor begin to move towards their seating section.
"No. And don't ya eat either," Raph said.
"Why not?"
"I want you hungry," Raph said, shooting him a heated look.
"This isn't what I thought you meant when you said you wanted me hungry," Leo said thirty minutes later as they sat across from each other in a restaurant. Raph had pulled him from his seat in the stadium before the game had even ended and led him down the street without telling him where they were headed.
"I told Donnie-boy we were going to do fun things in public," Raph said. "And I always thought it would be nice to go out to eat with you in an actual restaurant."
"And you think I'm a dork," Leo said, grinning widely at him.
Raph did his best to ignore him by keeping his green eyes pinned to his own menu.
They entered their hotel room after their lunch and were surprised to find it empty. Raph picked up a note he found on the desk.
"April's note says they decided to go to a movie," Raph said.
"Does she say what time the movie starts?" Leo asked as Raph watched Leo disappear into their bedroom.
Raph followed him into the room and shut the door behind him. "Looks like it starts right about now," Raph said, pulling Leo around to face him.
Leo kept his eyes on Raphael's face as Raph reached forward to begin removing Leo's gear. Raph's fingers trailed over Leo's skin as he slid the elbow pads off Leo's arms and an immediate shiver of anticipation ran through Leo. Raph unbuckled Leo's katana and set them aside before he grabbed the knot in Leo's belt and used it to push Leo backwards so he landed on his shell with his legs over the side of the bed.
Leo propped himself up on his elbows and watched as Raphael began to push off his own gear. "Are we going to sleep this early?" Leo asked, smiling at him.
Raphael leaned forward and began pulling Leo's knee pads off. "No. I need somethin from ya," Raph said.
"What do you need?" Leo asked as a churr rose up his throat at the sight of Raphael towering over him.
Raph dropped to his own knees and let his fingers slide over the muscles in Leo's legs. His appreciation for Leo's legs rivaled the appreciation he knew Leo had for his arms. It was that knowledge that usually pushed him while he was lifting to do an extra set. "I need ya moanin my name." Raph husked out before his head dipped so he could lick over the leg muscles he admired.
"Raphie," Leo exhaled in a whisper as he twitched under Raph's tongue.
"Like that," Raph smirked. "But louder. And over and over again."
Leo smirked back at him. "You may have to work for that."
Raph's green eyes sparked as they lifted to Leo's face. He was game if Leo wanted to challenge him. He continued rubbing his hands over the muscles in Leo's legs and licked his way up to one of the creases between Leo's leg and plastron. He slid his tongue along the length of the crease and heard a churr from Leo. He moved his head to the other leg crease and gave it the same treatment as Leo squirmed beneath him.
Leo churred again but bit his lower lip to keep from moaning. He could feel his whole body begin to warm and he let himself drop back on his shell on the bed and off his elbows.
Raph reached forward and uncurled Leo's tail so he could drag his fingers down the length of it and smirked as he heard Leo's sharp inhale. He reached his tongue forward here as well and left a long wet stripe along Leo's tail before he leaned back and blew a breath onto the wet skin. He chuckled softly as Leo twitched away in response. His large hands wrapped around Leo's thighs and pulled him back into place before he pulled Leo's tail into his mouth and let it roll over his tongue as Leo's intoxicating scent filled his nose. He heard Leo release a contented sigh before he applied pressure and sucked the wriggling appendage with such ferocity that Leo churred again and arched as much as his shell would allow.
Raph released Leo's tail and his eyes moved to the bulge growing in Leo's lower plastron. "Drop down, Fearless,"
Leo did as he was told, already feeling desperate for Raph's touch, and he was rewarded with a strong emerald hand wrapped around him. Raph's strokes were slow and Leo moved his hips upward to create more friction, much to Raph's amusement. But instead of answering Leo's silent request, he moved his tongue again in order to circle Leo's entrance. He heard Leo gasp again and he pushed one of his fingers into the tight circle in response.
Leo's hips jerked forward again and this time he couldn't hold back as he moaned out Raphael's name.
Raph didn't take the time to smirk over his accomplishment. Instead, he lifted himself higher in order to pull Leo's length into his mouth. Leo groaned out in relief and reached down to clutch at Raphael's shoulders. Raphael knew Leo's body well enough to know where the bundle of nerves he was looking for was located and he happily listened to Leo moan out his name again when he found it.
He freed his mouth and smirked up at Leo. "I believe that's two already, Leonardo." He watched Leo bite his bottom lip again before he pulled Leo back into his mouth.
Leo felt Raph pull him towards his throat, and, although his fingers tightened around Raph's shoulders and his hips moved towards Raph's mouth, he refused to release any further sounds other than the loud panting which he absolutely could not help. The warmth that had begun in his arms and legs had turned into a raging heat that he always associated with Raphael. He was beginning to think about his impending release when Raphael's mouth and finger both suddenly left him.
"Raph?" he said, aware only after it left his mouth that it sounded fairly like a moan.
Raphael tried to hide his smile as he lowered himself into a crouch on the floor and once again ran his tongue over the muscles in Leo's legs. Leo's scent was even stronger than it had been before and although Raph had been intent on teasing Leo, he could feel his resolve crumbling as he dropped down and ran a hand over his own waiting length. He moved his hands back to Leo's legs and massaged over the muscles he found as he heard Leo relent and moan his name once again.
Raph rewarded him by lifting himself back up onto his knees and running his tongue up Leo's length. He blew a breath over the wet skin as he pushed two fingers into Leo's entrance and watched Leo's hips jerk towards him as Leo moaned again.
Leo raised himself on his elbows again as he felt Raphael remove his fingers and watched as Raphael's tongue lightly moved over his erect shaft. It felt nice, but wasn't nearly enough to push Leo over the edge as he desperately wanted.
He was beginning to regret challenging Raphael.
Raph raised his eyes to Leo's flushed, panting face and could see Leo's internal debate about doing what Raph wanted and being rewarded or continuing down this slow and frustrating path they were taking. He crawled his way up Leo's body and shoved him further up the bed in the process before he moved his mouth to Leo's neck.
"What do you want, Leo?"
Leo fell back off his elbows again as he let Raphael position him and churred when Raphael began licking his neck. He shifted his hips up towards Raph but Raph was holding himself too high for Leo to easily reach.
Leo's resolve was completely gone. "You, Raphael," he moaned in response.
"What do you want me to do?" Raph asked, moving his tongue up to Leo's jaw as the fingers from one of his hands traced leisurely over Leo's arms. He'd never pushed Leo this far before and now he wanted to see what else he could get out of him.
Leo grabbed Raph's face and pulled it forward so he could kiss Raphael and move his tongue into the emerald turtle's mouth. "I want you to fuck me, Raphael," Leo growled into Raph's mouth. "Right. Now."
"Shit, Leo," Raph whispered back as he immediately lowered himself to Leo's body and pushed his way into Leo's entrance. He watched as Leo's eyes went from fierce to half-lidded in pleasure before Raph even reached down to begin stroking Leo as well.
Leo grabbed hold of Raphael's biceps and felt his body heat up once again. He was thankful they were the only ones in the hotel as he loudly and shamelessly moaned out Raphael's name repeatedly.
"Yes, Leo," Raph said, thrilled to hear his name flying repeatedly out of Leo's mouth as his own body responded with loud churrs. He watched Leo go rigid in his release and just knowing that he was responsible for Leo's pleasure pushed him into his own release at almost the same moment.
Instead of collapsing his full weight on top of Leo, he pulled Leo to the side with him and immediately rumbled over to him, "I don't think I had to work very hard to get ya moanin my name, Fearless."
"I still think I'm the - the winner in this deal," Leo panted.
"Ya would," Raph chuckled, nuzzling his face into Leo's neck. He groaned in frustration as the phone began ringing in the main room. He didn't feel like getting up but when he glanced at Leo, Leo only responded with a lazy smile. So he rolled off the bed and made it to the phone before its third ring.
"Raph, good, you're back," Donnie said in a rush. "Is Akito there?"
A/N: So I ditched cable months ago, which is great for the bank account, BUT now I have to wait three full weeks before the new TMNT episodes air on Hu*luPlus (anyone know why that is? It's frustrating). So I thought it was kind of funny that I included a Creep reference in that breakfast conversation and then he actually showed up in the (new-to-me) episode I finally got to watch this weekend. I actually had to go back and re-word part of that conversation since I now know they ran into him again. So maybe it was a good thing that this chapter took longer than normal to type. The Creep was definitely one of the scariest bad guys I've ever seen. Even Shredder couldn't suck the mutagen out of the guys.
