Chapter four:

Raph returns from doing some work on moving the hay around in the barn. He got rid of any that might be going bad. He knows that whenever they visit they take care of things when they can. He and Leo are on their third day out here. He hasn't noticed any migraines from Leo so he thinks he's doing pretty well in helping. He has been trying to not argue with the other so he won't get stressed. He knows that this isn't like back home and that Leo needs to relax. He makes it back to the farm house when done. He had left Leo laying back on the couch so the other could relax. He doesn't see him there anymore. He checks the kitchen to find nothing. So he heads to Leo's room. He pauses as he gets close as he hears a groan. He hurries inside worried that a bad migraine has hit. "Don't worry Leo! I'm here! Are you okay?" He pauses as a strong unmistakable smell hits him.

The smell of an omega.

Raphs wide eyes land on Leo who is laying on his side on top of the sheets. He hurries to Leo's side seeing the sweat and hearing him panting. "Leo? Are you okay!? Are you presenting?!" He questions as he puts a hand on Leo's arm feeling how warm it is. He looks to his face seeing a blush having appeared there. He hardly pays attention to the fact that Leo is completely naked.

Leo shakes his head confusing Raph. He closes his eyes as if unable to look to the other. "I'm going into heat." He sighs as he knows that Raph probably has so many questions. Luckily he isn't deep enough into his heat yet so he can explain things. "I have been an omega for years. I presented not long after I became an adult. However because I was the first, plus seeing how omegas are treated I got fearful. Father gave me an option. That we hide that I'm an omega by a special formula he makes so my scent doesn't smell like an omegas." He opens his eyes halfway though his gaze is downward.

Raph is shocked at the confession though stays quiet as Leo continues.

"The only thing was we couldn't even tell you guys. We had to be safer than sorry about it. After you and Donnie presented I started thinking of coming clean. However by then I had become scared of how you guys would react. That you'd be mad that I had been hiding it for so long. Not to mention who would believe that an omega was a leader." Leo sighs again and shifts his legs, he has his legs pressed close to help with the smell, before he continues. "So since I do get migraines we just hid my heats as bad migraine episodes. So not all of those episodes were really migraines. Splinter kept track of the times I have my heat so we can be prepared for it. I guess I'm just tired of running from this. And besides I always figured it'd be you who would find out." He goes quiet to wait for Raphs reaction to all of this.

Raph can't believe this. He cant believe that Leo had to hide from them and handle his heats all alone. He has heard that heats can get bad, so it is amazing that when Leo would come here he was able to feed himself. He also knows from his rut how frustrating it is to try to deal with the symptoms alone. He does understand why they did it in the first place.

Unlike when Mikey presented Donnie and Raph didn't have their alpha scents.

Something really bad could have happened, since the alphas wouldn't be as deterred even if the turtles tried to protect Leo. It would have been very dangerous for Leo if he didn't hide that he is an omega.

"I understand." Raph finally gives his verbal response earning a surprised look from the other. He smiles to him. "We don't have to tell Mikey or Donnie yet if you don't want to. But I'm going to do what I can to help you through this. I'll make sure you eat and that you don't get dehydrated. I can wear my mask over my nose to help. I won't force myself on you so don't worry about that. Thank you for trusting me to find out about this." He really does feel special that Leo is trusting him with this secret. He has been allowed in willingly instead of stumbling into this secret. He didn't have to be allowed to come out here with Leo, but the other had let him come knowing his secret would become known.

Leo smiles gratefully to Raph as their eyes lock gazes. "I hoped it'd be you who found out." He reaches out to which Raph grasps his hand in both of his own. "Raph. You don't have to if you don't want to. I just." He glances away before working up the courage to speak. "I guess if you are going to know me as an omega then you should know this. I actually had wanted to be with you. I just gave up on that idea. I figured you'd deserve a more honest mate. I didn't feel worthy of being with you because I was hiding from everyone." His words are stopped when Raph kisses him. He looks to the others closed eyes with surprise. His eyes falling to close as he kisses back.

Raph keeps the kiss from having any tongue action and after a few moments pulls away.

The two open their eyes to look to each other's eyes.

"You were the one that I wanted to be with. I just didn't think you'd want to date me. Seeing as how we are technically rivals in a sense." Raph admits to Leo who listens. He can smell the heat getting more intense. His alpha instincts want him to claim Leo right now. He holds back not wanting to just take him without permission. "We can take this as slow as you want. If you're not ready we don't have to mate. I can keep myself back."

"No." Leo shifts closer to Raph. "While I'm not in a heat crazed state I want to tell you. I give you permission to mate with me. I want it to be with you."

"If you're sure." Raph sees Leo nod his head. "Okay." He kisses him this time allowing their tongues to tangle together. He moves on top of his mate without them breaking their kiss.

Leo spreads his legs letting his omega heat smell wash over Raph in heavy waves. He feels Raph shiver not long before they break their kiss. He watches Raph strip down to be as naked as the omega is. "Have... Have you done this before?" He asks nervously as his mind becomes foggy as heat starts to take over. He just is curious while there's still time to ask.

"Honestly no. I haven't had sex before. I dealt with my ruts alone." Raph admits. He is actually glad the others could know when his rut started. He didn't have to hide to the same extent as Leo had to. He never had to worry about taking care of it all alone at the farm house; no one there to bring him food or water. "And I take it you didn't have sex either." He gets a shake of the head confirming that this is Leo's first time too. "It's okay. We both understand how it goes." He kisses Leo's warm cheek as the others blush deepens. "I'll make sure that you enjoy it as best as I can."

"That won't be hard with my heat." Leo points out and bucks his hips up into Raphs. His body's action causes them both to gasp as they let their cocks come out. He whines letting himself fall into his heat state as Raph begins jacking him off. "Oh! Raph! That feels so good!" He moans to him putting his arms around Raphs neck pulling him close.

Raph occasionally changes his pumping to touching Leo's cock head. He hears the other moan out a little more when he does this. He switches between the two movements until Leo cries out cumming on his own body. He moves his hand away letting the other recover from it.

It doesn't take long as Leo whines and looks at Raph with lustful eyes. "Alpha! Fuck me please!" He whimpers to the other.

Raph knows for sure that Leo is now lost in his heat. He doubts Leo would say it like that if he wasn't. He doesn't feel worried about it as he was given permission before the heat took over. "As you wish." He lets out a low rumble making Leo shiver with soft pleased noises. He nuzzles his face into his mates neck. He inhales the others scent storing it in his memory permanently. He pulls away before getting too lost in the haze of needing to mate with the other. "Hold on. I'll get lube. It'll hurt less with it."

"Alpha! Please!" Leo whines and shifts as he tries to get Raph to come back.

Raph digs through Leo's bag knowing he surely brought some lube. He finds some sex toys hidden among the bags contents. He then finds what he is looking for.

A slightly used bottle of lube.

Raph hurries back to Leo. He sees the other pumping his cock and shifting his hips with want. He can see the haziness of his mates eyes showing how deep in heat he is in. He gently moves Leo's hands away and lubes up his fingers. He can let himself get lost in the haze of the need to mate by inhaling Leo's scent after. He has to make sure the other is prepared for this. He pushes one finger in and watches his mates face after hearing a gasp.

Leo gasps and moves his hips to get Raphs finger to slip fully inside.

Raph is pleased with this and moves his finger in and out. Seeing the enjoyment on the other. He adds a second finger and stretches him out earning gasps plus moans.

It doesn't take long before Leo shifts his hips in pleading. "Alpha. Please. Let me have your cock." He begs making Raph let out a happy rumble.

Raph pulls out his fingers and lubes up his cock. He sets the lube aside after closing it. He moves his body over Leo and inhales the others scent from his neck again. Finally letting himself get lost in the feelings that come with it. He shoves his cock inside which causes them both to moan out in pleasure.

"Oh yes! Alpha!" Leo clings to Raph who starts licking his neck. His cries becoming loud as his mate starts moving. He moves his hips to try to keep up with his alpha's thrusts. Loving every single thrust of the others cock into him.

Raph picks up the pace enjoying every cry and groan that comes out of Leo's mouth. His own mind hazy and focused on both of their pleasures as they mate for the first time. He hardly even notices Leo's fingertips try to dig into his shell. He plants nips along Leo's neck all while still pounding into him. He pauses his nips, his hips not stopping, as he feels the other shiver. His instincts telling him to make sure his mate it okay. He sees pleasure written across his mates face. So he nips at Leo's neck once more.

The omega being very vocal about enjoying the alpha pounding him into the mattress.

Raph can't help groans of his own as Leo feels so good and tight around him. He also admits to himself he loves how much Leo begs when lost in heat. He isn't sure if it'll be the same outside of heat, however he knows that he'll find out one day.

Soon enough Leo's hips tremble with each movement making Raph believe that he is close.

Raph isn't far behind as the beginnings of his knot is hitting Leo's entrance. He hasn't pushed it inside just yet though.

"Claim me!" Leo calls out and that is all Raph needs.

Raph slams his knot into Leo's entrance locking them in place. He hears his mates moans add a pleased purr. He smirks knowing why, it is that his mates omegas instincts are pleased with the thick knot plugging him up. "I'm close. Oh! Leo! My beautiful omega." He whispers then moans after moving his face to the side of Leo's head.

"Cum inside me. Fill me up with your seed. Please alpha." Leo begs as his hips twitch showing how close he is as well.

Raph manages a few shorter though hard thrusts, since his knot can't be pulled out now. "You're mine!" He snarls as he shoves himself deep inside the other. He lets himself pump rope after rope of cum into Leo. He hears Leo scream in pleasure, picking up that Leo is cumming as well.

The two ride the high of having cum for a few moments before settling down.

Raphs knot still keeping them locked together. He uses his arms on the bed to support himself.

The haze of them needing to mate has faded enough for a small break.

"Damn. You're amazing." Leo admits as he is momentarily taken out of his heat haze. He knows well that it won't be for long. He kisses back when Raph starts a kiss.

They pull away smiling to each other.

"You're amazing too." Raph admits and keeps their bodies close.

They won't be going anywhere or really doing anything until Raphs knot is finished.

"This is the first time I've had a knot inside of me." Leo admits meeting with Raphs eyes. "None of my toys can do that. It actually feels really good. Really satisfying. Guess that's my omega instincts." He blinks his eyes glancing down. "Are you still cumming?"

"Yeah. It happens when knotting. It'll stop before the knot lets us separate." Raph may not have had any sex before however he has learned a lot.

Mostly from the internet, overhearing conversations, or others alphas bragging about how great it is to him.

Leo nods and nuzzles into Raphs neck who happily lets him do so.

They just cuddle together as they wait it out.

After a bit Raphs knot finally fades to which he pulls out of the other. He checks his mates gaze seeing that soon his heat will take over again. He guesses that things are going to get a bit more intense, Leo's body will likely crave more faster shortening the breaks in-between.

After all his heat is just beginning.

"I'll get us some quick food. While we're aware enough to eat." Raph tells Leo who nods in agreement to this. He heads to the kitchen to get the food as promised. He also makes sure to bring extra water knowing it'll be good to have it there.

After they eat they didn't even have time for Raph to take the plates back to the kitchen.

Leo leaps into Raphs lap kissing him. His hips grinding against his mates own hips as they have a heated make out session.

Raphs arms move around Leo's waist pulling him close. He can jack off Leo if he gets needy while being knotted.

The two end up going round after round until they lay side by side on the bed exhausted.

Raph shifts and grabs the extra water he had brought. He shifts Leo to sit up a little. "Here. Drink this." He carefully tilts the glass letting Leo drink some water.

Leo taps Raphs arm to tell him that he's good.

Raph puts the water back where it was before. He feels his mate snuggle up close to him.

"Thank you Raph." Leo mumbles tiredly before he drifts into sleep. His face falling from a smile to a peaceful sleep look. He looks rather cute when he sleeps in Raphs eyes.

Raph is glad that Leo is getting some rest. He won't lie as he is looking forward to the next few days. He will also make sure they are fed and hydrated, he just knows they'll be having a lot of sex during these days.

Leo clearly is excited about the next few days as well. His earlier sparkling eyes and his smile, during one of their breaks, tells Raph without words.

Both knowing that a heat, and a rut, is a little shorter if having a mate to mate with.

Four days later Raph blinks awake as the morning has come.

The sheets are all messed up, damp with sweat and dirty with dry cum.

The room stinks of sex and the mixed scents of an alpha and omega.

Raph glances down to his mate. He is holding the other close with his mate snuggled against his torso. He sees Leo starting to awaken then their eyes lock. "Do you need some morning sex?" He inquires though Leo shakes his head.

"No. I don't feel my heat." Leo admits to his mate.

"How long does your heats usually last?" Raph is curious about how long it takes for Leo to come out of the heat.

"Seven days. However if it is a bad one then ten days at most." Leo admits to the other and nuzzles Raph who returns the gesture.

"Okay. You might be out of your heat then." Raph shifts to sit up. His body feels a little heavy from all the sex. He ignores it and picks up Leo carrying him to the bathroom. He puts him down on the bath mat before getting a bath ready. "How is your body?" He questions as Leo seems a little shaky.

"My limbs feel like jello. Its stronger than me doing this on my own." Leo admits as he waits for Raph to finish the warm bath. "By tomorrow I usually feel better with enough relaxation."

Raph nods his head willing to stay out here for as long as they need to. He finishes getting the bath ready then picks up Leo placing him gently into the warm water.

Leo sighs as the warmth and the water feels good on his body. He leans back relaxing in the bath.

"I'll go clean the sheets. You relax here." Raph tells Leo and leaves the bathroom after getting a nod. He takes the sheets off of the messy bed then hauls them to the laundry area. He is glad that they were able to have a modern washer and dryer.

It makes things so much easier to do laundry.

Raph knows that when Leo is ready Mikey and Donnie will be understanding. He just doesn't plan to push his mate into confessing the truth before he is ready. He will make sure that he knows that it'll be okay though. He wonders if it'll be soon because now he knows Leo's secret.

Only time will tell for sure.

Back in the turtle lair Mikey enters into Donnies lab. "Donnie? Are you busy?"

"I'm not busy for you." Donnie mentions pushing away a device he was working on. He hears his mate hurry over to him and hug him from behind. He turns a little as the other rests his head on his shoulder.

They exchange warm loving glances with each other.

Donnie notices a thoughtful look on his mates face. "Did you come here because you're bored?"

"I wanted to see you." Mikey tells him then blinks hopefully at the other. "Donnie. Can I kiss you? Please."

Donnie blushes slightly at the request. "Yeah. Sure." He agrees to which Mikey leans closer. He meets him half way letting their mouths lock into a kiss.

Both of them blushing as they enjoy the kiss they are sharing. Their lips moving in sync.

Mikey pulls away after a little of the kiss. He opens his eyes half way looking at Donnies eyes, and he sees the other do so too. He smiles as their eyes lock to which Donnie smiles too. "That was great." He admits hearing his mate make a sound of agreement. "We are doing that again. But I'll let you work now." He gives the other another quick kiss then he heads out of the lab. He is grinning to himself as he goes.

Donnie finds the other is gone before he can say anything. He turns back to his work blushing a little... Though he can't bring himself to concentrate. His mind is stuck on his mate. He closes his eyes with a sigh and he gives up. He heads to find said mate he wants to be around right now.

Mikey is sitting on the couch watching some TV.

Donnie sits next to him causing Mikey to turn to him. "You seem to know how to make me just want to spend time with you." He mentions meeting his mates eyes.

Mikey kisses him quickly then snuggles against his mate. "Aw. You're too cute sometimes Donnie."

"You're the cute one." Donnie points putting his arms around his omega who doesn't argue.

The two watch the show that Mikey had picked out.

Back at the farm house Raph returns to Leo after getting laundry started. He sees that Leo is enjoying the bath a lot. He turns to leave him for now having an idea. He can let the other soak in the warm water for a bit longer. He returns a little later just as Leo shifts a little. "Done?" He questions then the other nods. "Well almost." He gently washes his lover who lets him do so. He nods in satisfaction when the other is clean. "There we go. Now you're done." He gently picks him up and lets him sit on the toilet with the seat down. He dries off his mate who seems content to let him do so. He puts the towel on the sinks edge for now. "Okay. Now I wanna show you something." He drains the tub.

Leo blinks his eyes curiously at his mate. He lets himself be picked up once more, and is carried out of the bathroom.

Raph takes him to the living room and Leo gasps at what he sees.

The couch has been moved back with the cushions missing. In front of it is a pillow fort with a blanket roof constructed well.

Raph brings the other over showing that he has placed a bunch of soft things inside it. "Made it especially for you. You should be able to rest pretty comfy in here. Plus you can watch movies so you don't get bored."

"You made it big enough for you to join me too?" Leo inquires with a slight purr to his tone and the two gaze lovingly at each other.

"Of course. I figured you would ask." Raph tells him and nuzzles his mate getting a giggle from him. He shifts and puts his mate into the cozy pillow fort. He is pleased to see him get settled rather quickly on the soft surfaces.

"Join me?" Leo blinks a little pleadingly at Raph looking rather adorable.

Raph swears his heart almost burst out of his chest. His face gaining a blush. "Soon. I just gotta shower myself then I'll join you. Promise." He heads off after Leo nods to this. He hops in the shower making it a quick one so he can race back to Leo. He dries himself off then quickly joins Leo in the fort.

Leo snuggles against Raph who holds him close. He nuzzles the others shell with a happy soft purr.

"I could listen to you all day beautiful." Raph places a kiss on the top of Leo's head and smiles seeing him blush. He keeps his arms around the other, planning to be there for as long as said other wants. He just does know that they'll need to eat something, and he will make sure Leo eats. He doubts that will be hard.

"Later can we watch Ghostbusters 2? I wanna see the titanic scene especially." Leo questions staying where he has found himself comfy.

"Sure we can." Raph agrees to this. He really likes that movie too and knows the titanic scene is Leo's favourite moment.

"Thanks."

The two fall quiet and after a little bit Raph thinks he should get them food.

Raph glances down to Leo and hears the soft snores. He smiles letting the other rest as he must be pretty tired. He is just going to be stuck here for a bit. He moves his free arm, the other arm trapped under Leo's body, and checks his phone at getting a text. He looks to it seeing that it is Donnie asking how things are going. He uses his one hand to type a response after turning his phone to silent. He doesn't want to risk waking Leo up.

'It's going pretty well. We've been able to avoid bad migraines. How about with you guys?'

Raph gets a message back not too long after sending his own.

'Pretty peaceful here. It's good that Leo hasn't had any bad migraines. You two take as much time as you guys need. I don't want to make the work you've done be for nothing, and Leo ending up having a bad migraine episode. I made some more pills for his migraines so we have them.'

'Thanks. I'll make sure that he'll be okay before we decide what day to head back. Enjoy your time with you and Mikey back home there.'

'Already doing so.'

Raph smiles to himself at that response. He plays on his phone quietly while letting Leo sleep. He'll get them food when the other wakes up.

The next day...

Leo is lounging on a cushioned outdoor lounge chair. He is looking out to the nature all around the farm house. He feels better than the day before which is nice to be able to move without Raphs help. Plus he is super glad that they have pain pills here, so if he is too sore he can have one. He closes his eyes feeling a breeze go by him softly. A soft smile on his face.

"Enjoying yourself?"

Leo opens his eyes and turns to a smiling Raph. "Yeah actually." He confirms to the other smiling more. He returns the kiss when Raph gives him one then they look into each other's eyes. "Wanna join me out here?"

"Sure." Raph moves another chair closer then sits in it. He looks to what Leo turns to.

"I love the nature." Leo mentions as they stare out what is out there. "Out here it is so beautiful. I feel like I could spend hours taking in its beauty."

"Heh. I can see what you mean." Raph smiles a little. "The nature out here really is something special." He guesses that Leo prefers to spend his heats here, so while recovering he can stare out to the nature here. He doesn't really understand how there is something that is so relaxing about it. "The views make it worth it to come here. Plus you make it worth it too." He looks to Leo smiling at seeing the blush on his face.

"Aw. You're such a sap." Leo teases and Raph chuckles.

"Well we're out here alone and mates now after all." Raph tells him seeing him look to let their eyes meet. "Just don't always expect such snappiness."

"Wouldn't dream of it." Leo chuckles and Raph shakes his head as if Leo is being silly. He motions Raph closer then when the other does come closer he pulls him into a kiss.

The two break said kiss and let their eyes lock.

"Before we go back, but after I recover enough, we are going to have some more fun." Leo tells Raph who lets out a happy rumble in his chest at hearing this.

"Sounds good to me."
