Song for this chapter - Blown ~ DNCE

Anatomy Lesson

~Lilly's POV~

"Hey Raph," I said, pulling his attention away from the tv and onto me. "How long have you and I been together?"

He frowned, "Are you making fun of me because I keep track? Or are you being for real?"

I chuckled, "I'm being for real."

He sighed, "Almost four months."

"Wow really? Feels like weeks..." I said with a small shrug.

Raph smiled a little, "Really?"

I nodded, "I guess time flies when you're having fun."

We were hanging around the lair, Mikey went to get something to eat, Leo is training or something and Donnie is in the lab. Which means, Raph and I are alone for the time being.

"Don't you think that maybe we should talk about certain things?" I asked, feeling my cheeks burn a little.

He blinked, "What things?"

I shrugged, "We don't have to do anything. But we should talk about it."

"Talk about what?"

"I mean-"

"Who's talking about what?" Mikey said, walking into the room with a plateful of pizza.

Fuck... I sighed, "Nothing..." I mumbled, crossing my arms over my chest as we continued to watch the television.

It wasn't an urgent issue that I talk to Raphael about being intimate with each other. I mean, I'm not ready for sex or anything like that, but I don't know his biology. I don't know where he keeps everything, if there's a slot, if I have to press a button to get something- I don't know how he works. And sure, when we make out it's great and everything, but I haven't let him see anything yet, except a couple times when I've changed shirt in front of him. Other than that, he's basically seen nothing. I've definitely seen nothing. Not one inch. Nothing.

If I'm thinking about having sex with him, then I have to tell him about the other guy. I have to. But... Did I trust Raph that much? I've never told anyone about what happened... My mom knows some of the story. I've told David about me having sex before, but all that did was cause him to push and push me to have sex with him. But again I didn't tell him why I didn't want to have sex.

If I'm this serious with Raph, then I have to tell him. I don't know when but... I have to prepare myself. Mentally...

I looked at Raph... How did I become so attach to someone who isn't even human? How did I go from hating him to...liking him a lot? I just don't know how...

Raph cleared his throat when he caught me staring, "Take a picture." He growled.

I blinked, "Huh? Oh..." Asshole... Lucky I'm even looking at him the way I am. I know he's not being mean because he wants to...at least I hope, but damn. Did he have to be so good at being the bad guy? I rubbed my forehead when it began to pulse.

This isn't important, there's no point in asking him. He's probably going to be too embarrassed to even tell me- no! He's probably not even into having sex with humans. And I don't think we have to talk about it if I'm not ready...right?

I'm pretty sure we have to talk about it sooner or later.

I'll wait till he brings it up.

"So..." Raph urged, giving me a playful nudge. "What was it you wanted to talk about?"

"What do you mean?" I asked, acting confused.

"Before Mikey interrupted, you said you wanted to talk about something?"

I blinked, "Oh yeah, right before you were a total dick to me." Using two hands, I pushed him as hard as I could, only to have him move probably two inches. "'Oh, take a picture' yeah you wish."

He laughed, grabbing me by my waist, "I had to play the part. You know that..." I pried myself from his embrace. "But, seriously, what did you want to talk about?"

"Oh I forgot..." I lied softly.

"Oh okay... Sorry, you know I hate doing stuff like that but-"

"No no," I stopped him, placing my hand on his cheek. "I get why you had to do that. Don't worry." I gave a shrug. "It bothers me because you do it really well, but we have to do what we have to do."

He grabbed my hand and we continued to walk down the railroad. "Alright..." he said with a small sigh. "Sorry babe."

"Don't be," I said with a soft smile. Maybe it wasn't time to have the talk... Or maybe it was, I don't know. If I can't find it in myself to ask Raph, then I'll ask someone else...

"Hey Donnie," I called as I slowly seeped into the lab where he was working. "Can I ask you something?"

He looked up from his desk, "Huh... Oh Lilly, what can I help you with?"

I shut the big door behind me, "I was wondering if you could teach me a few things." I asked nervously.

Donnie raised an eye ridge, "Teach you? About what?"

I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment. I cleared my throat and shook my head in an attempt to cool my face off. "I was hoping you'd help me with... Um, I was wondering if it was possible, that is if you're not too busy..."

Donnie did nothing but wait for my answer, he didn't look annoyed, he didn't look mad, he just waited patiently.

"Could you give me an anatomy lesson, please?" I finally forced out. Donnie is like a brother, and if I am going to learn about Raph I going to learn about the whole entire family basically. Should I be here? Is this like an invasion of privacy for the guys? I mean, Raph doesn't know I'm here.

"Anatomy lesson? On what? Us?" He asked and I nodded my head. "Oh... Oh!" He chuckled softy. "I see. This is because of Raphael? If you don't mind me asking..."

"Well," I sighed, relaxing my tensed muscles. Donnie's cool. "I don't want to bother you, or embarrass you or him. Since you're like the doctor of the family, i thought that maybe you could teach me a little on turtles."

He smiled, shaking his head softly. "No, I understand you intention. Of course I'd be happy to teach you about us for a while. Just tell me what you want to know."

I nodded, grabbing a rolling chair and sitting down comfortably. "I guess everything..."

"Alright then, let's get started."

~Raph's POV~

"Hey guys, have you seen Lilly?" I asked Leo and Mikey who were sitting watching one of those stupid cartoons.

"Why?" Leo asked, with a smirk.

"Where is she you dork?" I growled in annoyance.

He pointed to the lab, "I saw her going in there. Been there for quite a while though."

"The lab? Why?" I asked, not really expecting an answer. I quickly walked there, peaking through the small opening that was opened just enough for me to see and hear about what they were talking about.

"You guys are half human..."

"Did we never mention that to you before?"

"I don't remember but I'm pretty sure that's what a mutant is."

"Well, yes. We're half human. So the more I tell you about our anatomy, the more familiar it may seen."

"Familiar?"

"Uh... That's not what I-"

I opened the door, finally hearing enough. "What are you guys doing?"

Donnie looked up at me, "Oh hi, Raph. Lilly just wanted a little lesson on some things."

I stared at her, she never turned to face me. "About what?"

"Oh uh..." Donnie looked back at her and whispered something, she covered her face and nodded. "The anatomy of turtles."

"What?" Why did she ask Donnie about this when she could have asked me?

"She just wanted to learn. Nothing wrong with that. And I feel as though it were appropriate since you two are together. It's normal for her to be curious." He said with a soft smile.

"I know it's normal." I growled.

Lilly turned around, red faced with embarrassment. "I didn't want to bother you or embarrass you. So I asked Donnie instead..."

"Lilly," I snorted, feeling my heart skip a beat. "I'd be embarrassed yeah, but I still would have told you if you asked." I walked over to her, my hand patting her head.

Her cheeks were still so red when she looked up at me.

Donnie cleared his throat, "Do you still want us to continue?"

Lilly blinked, then turned back to Donnie. "Oh, sure..."

He nodded, "So, when we were mutated, human DNA was mixed with our turtle DNA. Which caused us to be...you already know. Some things, we lost, like our claws for instance. Instead we gained human-like fingernails. We also lost the teeth like ridges that would have gone around our mouth and down our throats. Instead we just have teeth."

"Ridges?" She asked.

"Yes. Now, we'll get into the...less comfortable subjects." He pointed to the paper Lilly had in her lap of a turtle's anatomy. "Our tail. We may be half human but we're half turtle, so we still have tails."

"Tails?" Lilly giggled. "Raph you have a tail? I guess I never really noticed."

"Well, that's because we protect them most of the times. We don't walk around with our tails out because if we were to fall back..." Donnie explained.

"Oh yeah... You could hurt it. Guess that makes sense. Is it like retractable?"

I smiled, "You know how a dog wags its tail when it's happy? We can kind of do the same thing, but it's like tucking it in."

"You can move your tail?"

"Just for protection." Donnie added.

"Okay? Protection, but if you cut your tail doesn't it grow back like a lizard?"

I laughed, cringing at the sound of that. "God no."

"You see Lillian..." Donnie chuckled. "The tail is where we keep..."

"The little guy." I snickered playfully.

She looked confused at first, staring at the diagram as hard as she could before nodding softly. "Your...tail..."

"For our whole lives, we have tucked our tail, not in anywhere specifically, just out of harms way. It's just a habit now, that's probably why you haven't seen a tail." Donnie explained to her.

"So if I were to kick you in the tail..."

"It would be the equivalent of kicking a man in the groin."

"Oh... So you do have a dick." She said, looking back up at me.

"Did you really think I didn't have one?" I chuckled.

"Well..." She shrugged.

Donnie smiled amusingly, "Now, a regular turtle's genitals are almost as long as it's body. Bu-"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Lilly scoffed, holding the paper to cover her face. "Oh Jesus..."

"Now, wait a minute, remember I said we are half human. So that part is also human."

"Oh... So it's smaller" She relaxed.

"Well, I don't know about them but I'm packing some-" she elbowed my stomach before I could finish my sentence. I chuckled.

She glared at me before turning to Donnie, "Go on..."

He nodded, "Alright, next thing you need to know is the sound we make."

"Sound? What sound?" She looked up at me, and I had too look away.

"You don't know? That's odd." Donnie said, crossing his arms over his chest. "I figured since you..." His eyes shifted from Lilly to me, the longer he stayed silent the more confused Lilly got. I rubbed the back of my head in embarrassment. This is where they catch me red handed. I never made that stupid fucking sound because human don't make noises and I don't want to scare Lillian off by doing something that may come natural to me but...she may not be used too. "Well, turtles make these churring noises when they get excited. Almost like a purring sound cats make." Donnie continued. Boy, I wish he hadn't.

"So, if I haven't heard it, it means Raph hasn't gotten excited?"

I sighed, "I have. I just... Don't want to freak you out so I stop it."

"I didn't know you could do that, Raph." Donnie said.

I scoffed, "Well, you can."

"So what does it sound like?" She asked.

"I'm not doing it."

"Why not?"

"Don't worry Lilly, you'll hear it eventually." Donnie chuckled annoyingly.

"Alright, well I'll hear it eventually. No point in hiding from me." Lilly looked up at me and smiled. I looked away again. "Is there anything else I should know about?"

"Oh yes, we don't carry salmonella."

She snickered, grabbing onto my hand. "I figured."

"Also, and forgive me this is kind of embarrassing..." He cleared his throat. "First two weeks of spring are tough on all of us. If Raphael does in fact, although I highly doubt he'd avoid you, but if he does, then he's doing it to protect you."

Lilly suddenly looked worried, her little hand clenched around my finger. "What? Why?"

"Well, would you like to explain?" Donnie asked me.

I sighed, "Fine..." I grabbed onto her hand. "Spring is mating season."

She held a hand to her lips and snickered, "Really?"

"Yeah... Our hormones go crazy and we're horny all the time. Leo meditates, Mikey, since he's the youngest, it doesn't really hit him as hard as the rest of us and his time is shorter than the rest of us, Donnie spends most of his time here, and me-"

"Jack off?" She asked suddenly.

Donnie snickered to himself, turning his head away from me to hide his stupid smile.

I cleared my throat, "I work out."

"Why would I be in danger? Are you extra angry?"

"More like frustrated."

It suddenly clicked, I saw her eyes flicker and her cheeks turn pink. "Oh! That's what you mean... Alright, first two weeks of spring,

I'll mark it on my calendar." She looked back at Donnie who was still trying to stop himself from laughing. "Anything else?"

Donnie composed himself, "No, I think that's all. If you have any questions though, don't be afraid to ask me."

Lilly smiled, handing Donnie back that paper then throwing her arms around him. "That's why I love ya!" She giggled.

Donnie laughed, giving her and awkward pat on her back, clearly seeing how uncomfortable I was. "Oh well... Love you too." He said softly.

I grabbed Lilly's arm and helped her away from Donnie. At first she scoffed but when I held her close to me with just one arm, she relaxed placing her head on my shoulder. "Yeah, thanks."

Donnie rolled his eyes at my jealousy, "Yeah, whatever."

"So that's what you wanted to talk about?" I playfully teased, fighting the urge to pull her close when I saw her cheeks turn pink.

"No." She muttered softly, her eyes never leaving the tv.

"No?"

"No." She shut her eyes and sighed. "Okay maybe...but, I didn't know how to bring it up."

"How about 'hey babe, can I see your dick?'" I said in a tone barely above a whisper.

She gasped, her hand suddenly banged on my chest causing me to laugh even more. "Why do you have to be a pig?"

"Learn your animals, lady. I'm a turtle."

"I didn't want to see it, dumbass. I just wanted to talk. Knowing you, I think I made the smart choice to going to Donnie and asking him about turtle anatomy, he's mature." She crossed her arms over her chest and I just stared. The pink in her cheeks only got darker the more she talked. Thank god there's nobody around; Mikey in the kitchen, Leo in the dojo with Sensei and Donnie where he always was. It gave us a little privacy for at least 2 minutes.

"Yeah, about that." I leaned in. "You thought it was smart to go and ask my brother about my junk?"

She grunted, her hand flying out to hit me again but I caught it easily, twisting her wrist harmlessly but enough to let her know I didn't like that. "Not your junk!" She yelped, struggling to get her hand out of my grip.

I shushed her.

"I wanted to learn more about you." She huffed. "Nothing sexual. It... I feel like I barely know you. Maybe it wasn't the ideal choice to go to Donnie but-" she groaned. "Let go of me, you're making me nervous."

I brought her fingers to my lips before letting her hand go, "Babe, you could have just asked. It is okay to ask you know?"

"Okay but I wanted to know everything. You're still part animal, so I wanted to know if you have strong sense of smell, or if you're color blind, or if you're territorial or...anything really." She sighed heavily. "I don't know..."

I rolled my eyes, "Yes, no and yes. See? Easy."

She turned to face me, her expression was kind of confusing. She looked hesitant but at the same time determined to say whatever it was that was in her mind. It was only for a second before she finally spoke, but I waited for what felt like hours. "I want to have sex."

I felt my eyes go wide, then all the muscles in my body suddenly tensed us to the point where I was frozen in time. My heart was in my eyes so I couldn't hear anything, my vision was blurry so I barely saw Lilly even though she was sitting right in front of me, and my stomach suddenly felt like I ate something really bad. I wanted to puke, I could feel the cold sweat and my mouth get really moist.

Mikey came in at this exact time and just decided to sit down and watch tv. Great! Now we can't even continue this conversation! Why can't I move? I need to move. Stop looking at Lillian. Oh man. Oh...fuck.

Of course I wanted to have sex. At that very moment...no. Eventually, sure! It's not like I haven't thought about it before. And I have...well, Lilly's let me feel her up once or twice. I've seen her half naked, always thought about her actually being naked in front of me. But now that the opportunity is finally here I am...fucking panicking.

Lilly turned back to the television while I just stayed there frozen. Finally when I blinked, I was able to breath, I was able to actually change my facial expression into a confused one instead of a horrified one. I looked back at Mikey who's back was towards us, then looked back at Lilly, noticing all the pink from her cheeks where gone completely. I took one deep breath before relaxing in my seat. I noticed what was on the television but I never watched it. Then, just like before, it hit me like a train in a second wave of shock. "What!" I suddenly yelled. Both Lilly and Mikey jumped to my sudden mini explosion.

Mikey slowly turned his head around in fear.

I grabbed Lilly by the wrist and pulled her up and over to the kitchen. She never pulled away this time. "Now? You wanna have sex now?"

She narrowed her eyes, "No. What made you think that I wanted to now?"

I scoffed in disbelief, "Hmm... I don't know. Maybe you saying you did!"

She shushed me, "Okay, I should have added the word 'eventually'. That was my bad."

"You think!?" I placed a hand on my heart. "I nearly passed out because of you. Jesus Christ..."

"Oh don't bring him into this. He has no time for us sinners." She joked awkwardly.

"Lilly," I rubbed my face with my eyes. "I'm... Okay, well..." I shook my head. "No, you know what, we can talk about this. We can..." I sighed. "Only thing is I don't know anything about...anything."

Lilly smiled. Her hands grabbed my own, "All you have to do is ask."

"About what? Your boobs?"

She blinked, "Did you want to see them? They're just boobs."

"Lilly." I warned.

"Okay, no more jokes. One day, you can come over and I'll tell you everything you need to know okay?"

I sighed. I appreciate her offer, but I didn't know how to tell her that I didn't... I wasn't ready to be that intimate. I'm too nervous. I don't know anything about her body. How am I supposed to just have sex with someone I've never seen naked...yet at least. "Lilly, I'm just..." I can't say it. It sounds like I'm chickening out.

Lilly cupped my face, "Calm down," she seemed to pick up on what I was panicking over almost immediately. "I said one day. Not tomorrow. Maybe not even next week. I want to eventually have sex. I still have my reasons on why I..." she just stopped. "We'll talk about that another time. Don't worry."

I nodded, feeling a weight fly off my shoulders. "Are you ready?"

"No..." she said slowly, suddenly her hands let go of mine and her whole playful demeanor vanished instantly. She hugged herself and took a step back. "You?"

I shrugged, again not wanting to sound like a pussy. "Is it because you've never been with..." I stopped, should we be having this conversation here? In the kitchen?

"Raph, we'll talk later. Okay?" She turned. "It's too risky here."

I reached out to grab her hand, then I slowly put it down when I saw Leo walk into the kitchen. I watched as she walked passed him, then he made an odd face and waved his arms around. "Whoa... Tension in the air. What happened? She mad?"

I sighed, "No... Maybe... Women." I cursed. I didn't like feeling confused. And I don't know if Lilly wanted me to go after her, but I assumed she knew I couldn't run after her. As much as I wanted to try to get her to talk, I think I'd just listen to her this time. When Lilly wants to talk, she will, and when she doesn't there's no way that I'd be able to get it out of her without causing a giant scene. So I'll let her be. But... I couldn't help but be confused at why she changed attitudes so fast.

Like she said, I'll find out later.
