Apriltello

The Next Day...

~Lilly's POV~

"Does he have to be here?" April asked as she walked into my bedroom and saw Raph laying on my bed.

I opened my mouth to answer her but Raph spoke first, "Yes, he does."

I sighed, "No he doesn't." I said, glaring at him. "But he doesn't want to leave."

April crossed her arms over her chest, "Raphael,"

"Sorry, April but this is a buy one get one free deal," Raph said with a shrug.

"He won't tell if that's what you're worried about," I assured her. "I made sure he would and if he doesn't he knows what will happen." I threatened, wrapping my arm around her shoulder. "I promise."

Raph nodded, "Yeah...I don't even want to talk about the consequences. I'll keep my mouth shut."

April switched her stare from me to Raph before shaking her head, "I don't want to know." She said with a wave before giving a tired sigh and walking over to my bed.

Raph hasn't left since last night. Now I don't mind that he's here, but I can tell April does. In order for her to be honest, I need her to be completely comfortable. If she isn't, then I don't think Raph can be here.

"I don't care." April huffed before throwing herself onto my bed. "I'm too tired to care."

"Is this bothering you that much?" I asked.

"Yes," April mumbled. "If we talk about this, no one can get mad."

Raph scoffed, "Why would we get mad?"

April sat up, looking at me with frustrated eyes. I reached out to touch her cheek and shook my head, "We won't." I looked up at Raph and glared at him once again, to which he rolled his eyes.

"Okay…" April took a deep breath. "It's not that serious but I just want to talk about it to get it out of my system."

I nodded, sitting next to her. "Well, I've been in your shoes, so I know what you're going through."

April nodded, "It's like a whole bunch of emotions I have inside me. I'm scared, I'm confused. I'm thinking 'will this feeling pass' and if it does then…it's like a weight off my shoulders, you know?" She chuckled.

"Why is liking Casey such a big deal? It's so obvious he likes you too." Raph stated.

April looked over at Raph, narrowing her eyes in confusion, "He likes me? Casey?"

"Yeah but-" I started.

"Of course he does!" Raph interrupted. "The day of the invasion, he was asking me if you ever talk about him."

I blinked, "He asked you that too?"

"He asked you that?" Raph asked.

"Yeah, I told him no."

April stopped both of us, "Whoa whoa, wait…he asked both of you and neither of you told me?"

I shrugged, "I told him to ask you. I told him I wasn't a mind reader."

We both turned to Raph who scratched the back of his head, "Uh yeah, me too." Something about the way he evaded eye contact with April told me that he may not have been telling the truth.

"Well..." April let out a breath, "This is just..."

Raph smiles, "Well now things should be easier for you two. Now you can do what every teenager should do."

April suddenly frowned, "This changes everything now." She mumbled, looking more frustrated than when she first came in here. "Now, I'm even more confused then I was before."

"What?" Raph asked.

April pushed herself off of my bed and began to pace in front of us. I felt sorry for her, her feelings are only complicating themselves even more now that we told her about Casey. I also felt sorry for Raph for being so confused.

"Maybe you need a break," I suggested. "A break from everyone to think, yes?"

April never answered she just continued to pace.

Raph leaned in, "I'm confused." He whispered to me.

"Raph, April doesn't like Casey."

"She doesn't? Who does she like?" Raph asked as if he didn't already know the answer.

April stopped pacing, her head shot towards us. "You didn't tell him?"

I shook my head, "Of course not. He knows the gist but not the entire thing."

Raph grunted, giving me a little nudge in annoyance. "What? Who does she like?" He looked between April and me waiting for one of us to tell him. "Is it me?"

April scoffed before she went back to pacing.

I groaned and gave him push, "You're such an egomaniac!" I reached over to grab a pillow so I could shove it in his face. "No!" I shouted before pushing the pillow in his face. I turned to April, "You don't, right? You can tell me, you know?"

"Ew no. Raph is like my brother. Both of you need to stop." April chuckled nervously.

"Ew? Um, I'm right here." Raph said.

"Yeah, and you're about to leave if you keep saying stupid stuff." I snapped, Raph grabbed my hands before I was able to give him another push.

"Well, who are you guys talking about? If not Casey then..." he looked over at April before staring at me. I could see it click in his mind, and when his eyes widened, I smiled. "No..."

"Yes! Okay? Yes, it's him." April shouted angrily. "I don't know if I like him but there's...something there. But now that I know that Casey may like me it changes everything because that..." April stared at both of us before she let out a sigh. "...makes sense."

Raph narrowed his eyes, "What does?"

I grabbed his hand just to give him a little reassuring squeeze.

April had an apologetic look in her eyes, "Casey and I."

For a moment, Raph just stared at her before he nodded. "Oh..." I could tell he was offended by that and he was just holding it in. This is why April told him not to get mad. If I'm being honest, I was a little hurt by that too because it meant that April didn't think we made sense but...that's okay. We don't. That's why I like our relationship. It's way different.

April looked down at her feet in almost shame. "It's okay, April," I comforted.

After a while, April looked up, "I'm sorry, this was probably a bad idea…"

I shook my head, going up to her, "April," I began, grabbing a hold of her hands. "It's okay to feel this way. It's scary to be attracted to someone who isn't…human. It's different, it's new…almost too new. Don't rush into anything though,"

April sighed, squeezing my hands, "I have to confess something…" I waited patiently for her to continue. She quickly looked over a Raph before looking back at me, seemingly contemplating whether or not she wanted to continue with Raph in the room. "When we were at the farm…" She took a deep breath, "We kissed."

My jaw fell wide open and before I could find my voice, behind me I heard Raph yell, "WHAT?!"

I blinked until I what she told me clicked inside my head, "You…what?"

"It wasn't like the way you kiss Raph, it was quick." She told me. "I mean, I felt so bad and he looked so sad. He was telling me that he would leave me alone now because he knew…he was just a mutant."

"So you kissed him?" I crossed my arms over my chest. "And you're not sure that you like him?"

April sighed, "I guess doing that made things a lot more complicated, huh?"

"Well, you did it out of sympathy, right?" I asked.

"I mean…yeah."

"What did he say after that?"

April shrugged, "He couldn't really look me in the eyes afterward, let alone talk to me." She went over to the edge of my bed and sat.

"That's why he was so quiet for such a long time?" Raph said. "He looked like he was trying to tell me something, I almost smacked the question out of him."

April didn't smile, she just sat in thought.

I went to her, I felt like I was going back and forth with her. If she gets up one more time, I swear. "Maybe you don't like him. It was just a split second of sympathy."

"Yeah…"

"But you felt something there. It's little but noticeable." I sighed. "I think if you don't want to be with him because he's a mutant, he understands that. However, you should talk to him about that if you want to get rid of what feelings you think you have."

"Talk to him? Wouldn't that make things worse?" She asked.

I shook my head, "I don't think so."

"But…what if it happens again?" April said, almost like a scared child.

Raph chuckled, "Only if you kiss him. He'd never just kiss you, he's too chicken."

"Do you want me there?"

April shook her head, "I think I can handle Donnie."

"You'll be fine. I think this is just a passing fad. If you talk things out with him, things will change." I pointed to Raph, "I avoided him after our first kiss. That didn't change my feelings. All I thought about was him and then when I saw him again it..." I sighed, I can already feel Raph's ego inflating. "My feelings just...increased. So maybe when you get yours out, the opposite will happen."

April looked at me apologetically, "Lilly, it's..." she stopped and looked at Raph. "Raph, I'm sorry. You know I love all you guys it's just-"

"April, you don't have to explain. Lilly told me the minute we started dating that it was weird because I'm a mutant. So I get it." Raph comforted. "It's not you."

"It's not you guys though. Or him. It's me. I'm the shallow one who just can't-"

I placed my hand on hers, "This does not make you shallow. If anything this makes you human."

"Yeah," Raph added. "When you stopped being our friend for a while none of us blamed you for wanting a normal life. So the fact that you don't want to date Donnie because he's a mutant, I'm positive he won't blame you for that either. You're allowed to feel that way."

"It just doesn't seem right. It feels like you guys are praising me for being a horrible person." April whined.

I laughed in frustration, "You are not a horrible person!"

Raph scoffed before laying down, "April, Donnie will not think you're a horrible person. I don't think you are. No one does. You're realistic, not an asshole."

"Lillian, I've asked you this before, I'm sure but…" she turned to Raph, "No offense Raph, how have you done this?"

I looked over at Raph who looked back at me like he was also waiting for my answer. I sighed then shrugging, "I don't know, April. I can't give you a real reason other than… I just can." I could tell that that wasn't the answer April was looking for. She looked more frustrated than before, which made me feel useless. "But it's okay if you can't," I reassured her.

April let out a heavy sigh before covering her face with her hands.

I looked over at Raph who sorta gave a clueless shrug. I motioned towards the door with my head to which he gave me a look like I just took away his toys or something. I mouthed the word 'go' to him at least three times before he finally got up and exited the room. Finally, April can feel as comfortable as she wanted to.

"April," I said calmly. She never lifted her head. "If you don't tell Donnie how you're feeling, that's okay. But here's what I don't want you to do." April finally looked up at me with sad eyes. "Do not go out with Donnie out of sympathy. Do not lead him on in any way. It's unfair to both of you. If you want to wait for these feelings out, see where they go, that's fine. If you want to talk to him just to let him know that these feelings exist that's also fine, as long as you make sure he understands that you don't want to be in a relationship."

"Do you think I should be with Don?"

I smiled, "If you want to be with him, then yes. But this is not my decision. It's yours."

April nodded, "I guess… I just hope he'll understand. "

"Of course he will." I grabbed her hand and playfully smiled. "But let me say this, you're missing out on a lot."

April snickered at my joke, "I bet I am. The guys are wondering when he's coming home, you know? And he was here all night?"

"Where else was he gonna be? We haven't seen each other for three months." I laughed.

"Well, whatever you did to him really was something. Now, he doesn't even want to leave the room for like five minutes." April said, playfully pushing me.

I shook my head, "I didn't do anything new."

"I think it's because you guys are like...meant to be or something." April joked.

I felt my cheeks warm and my heart fluttered in my chest. Despite that I shook my head, "I don't believe in stuff like that."

"Really?" April asked, looking shocked. Did I look that naive? "Then he must not be that good." She playfully poked my side.

I shook my head, "Girl, that's not why. And trust me that has nothing to do with why I don't believe in soul mates or whatever. My parents are more than enough evidence to disprove any of that shit."

April laid back on my bed and sighed, "I believe in soul mates. But I don't think there's only one." She looked at me, grabbing my forearm and squeezing. "I think you're my soulmate. As friends I mean."

"Just as friends?" I asked with a frown before laying down next to her so I could give her a hug. "I love you," I told her.

April gave me a hug back and chuckled, "I love you too." I pulled away from her hug and smiled. "Now, If I can ask you kind of a personal question..."

I smiled and nodded, "Anything,"

April sat up a little, before leaning in towards me. "How is he really?"

"Raph?" I blinked. April has never really wanted to know about my sex like with Raph.

April nodded, "I mean you've been with a human before. How is it different?"

I snickered, "April April April...I am shocked that you would ask me something like that."

April rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, humor me for a bit will you?"

"I don't think it has anything to do with Raph being a mutant more than Raph being Raph. He's a very kind and giving person." I felt my cheeks burn even more than before.

"Raph? Kind? Are you sure?"

I nodded, "He's very patient and understanding."

"Huh!? Are we talking about the same Raph?" She shouted, sitting upright. "Patient and understanding?"

"He is when it comes to sex. Like if I don't want to, he won't even ask twice. Or like before we began to have sex, he knew why I couldn't and he waited. It's not hard to believe he's a nice guy."

April shrugged, "I mean, maybe that's because he loves you. Because he's an asshole to everyone. Not all the time but most of the time."

I nodded, "I believe you. I was friends with him before I was his girlfriend."

"I can't believe you were his friend first and still wanted to date him." She shook her head before pushing me. "You love him, huh?"

I nodded, "Of course, I do." I have a little shrug. "It's a plus that he's great in bed. I loved him before I slept with him, I just didn't know it yet."

"Aww, that's adorable." She gave my arm a hug. "You guys are cute."

"Thanks." I chuckled.

~Later~

"Are you sure you don't want a ride home? Ian and I can drive you instead of you taking the bus?" I asked April, standing out in front of my house.

April shook her head, "I have a lot to think about and I'd rather do that alone. Thanks though. For everything actually." She gave me a hug which I returned.

"Always. You know I'm here for you. Call me when you get home. Love you." I said, kissing her cheek before waving goodbye.

"Love you too. Bye." She waved back.

I headed back inside, then upstairs to my room. Raph was sitting at the edge of my bed, twirling his Sai in one hand while on his phone with the other.

"When are you going home?" I asked.

He looked up, placing his Sai on the bed. "Whenever I want. Why?"

"April said the guys are wondering when you're going to go home. I don't want you getting in trouble with Splinter." I walked over to him and draped both my arms on his shoulders, his hand went to my hip.

"I'll be fine. I texted Leo and called Splinter and he understands. He just told me to be careful. We had sort of an awkward conversation about the birds and the bees..." he shook his head. "I don't wanna talk about it."

I laughed at his reaction, playfully squeezing his cheeks. "You had the talk with your daddy? That adorable! Look it, you're blushing!" I teased, kissing his forehead.

Raph grunted, "Yeah yeah, it's not like Ian or your mom haven't had the sex talk with you."

"Ian, kinda. My mother, no. Ian just told me to be smart and not to end up like my mother. But...I've been having sex since I was like 13 so, I didn't really need the talk."

Raph didn't say anything, probably uncomfortable at how nonchalantly I brought up that topic. I lifted his face up with my finger, "Hey," I said softly, staring lovingly down at him. I gave him a sweet kiss, my hand cupping his cheek while my thumb gently ran across it.

"What was that for?" He asked, both of his arms now wrapped around my waist.

I shook my head, "Nothing. Just 'cause."

He gave me a little nod before smirking, his arms tightening around my waist. "So I'm good in bed, huh?"

"I knew you were eavesdropping!" I slapped his shoulder. "I would never do that to you." He pulled my waist towards him, pressing my hips against his plastron.

He buried his face in my stomach, giving me a small bite. "Kind, giving, patient, understanding..." he gave me another nibble, I giggled, cradling his head. "I was hoping for animalistic, toe-curling, passionate, the best you've ever had."

I rolled my eyes, "You're such a cocky bastard-" I squealed when he playfully bit my nipple through my shirt and bra. Jesus, do you know how hard you have to bite to get through the padding of this bra? "Ow! You bit my nipple!"

"Wouldn't be the first time." He laughed, burying his face in between my breasts.

"You're like a freaking child." I laughed, looking down at him as he looked up at me.

"This may be an uncomfortable question but," he began, pulling away from my breasts. "What am I like compared to a human?"

I sighed, "You're not that different. Just bigger than what I've experienced. Size doesn't really matter though."

"Ok see, now...I don't know how to respond to that." He said, loosening his grip on me. Uh-oh...

"I'm only telling the truth. You may be bigger than anyone I've been with. But that doesn't matter to me because..." I cupped his face and forced him to look at me. "I really like you." I joked, he smiled just a bit. "I'm comfortable with you and that's better than having a big dick. I mean...look at last night."

"Which time?" He asked with a smirk.

"The first time. That was the first time I've ever come while I was on my back." I kissed his nose. "It's because I just wanted to be with you." I sat down on his lap.

His hand traveled into my hair, "You know you're always saying how our sex is great just because it's me you're with."

"Duh," I gave him a small kiss. "Although, I'd still want to have sex with you if you sucked."

"Wait a minute," Raph blinked before looking suspicious. "Are you lying?"

"Raph, the one thing I refuse to do to you is fake it in bed." My fingers tangled with the ends of his mask. "And last night, I couldn't fake it even if a tried. All six times." I giggled, resting my forehead on his. Raph smiled, finally pushing my head towards him so he could kiss me.

"Lilly!" I heard my mother calling from downstairs.

I purposely chose to ignore her when I felt Raph's tongue tentatively touch my lips and I parted my lips, gladly accepting him in. My hand cupped his cheek, slowing his kissing down but unable to prevent myself from deepening the kiss. When I let out a small moan, Raph shifted to where he could pick me up just enough so that he was able to get off my bed and move me onto it. He pushed forward, pushing me back onto the bed so that he could hover over me, never breaking the now heated kiss.

"Is she sleeping?" I heard my mom ask from downstairs.

"I don't know, maybe." I heard Ian say.

"Raphael!" My mother called.

I groaned, knowing Raph was going to answer her because it was my mom.

Raph let out a frustrated sigh, pulling away from the kiss. "Yes?" He answered, trying not to sound annoyed.

"Are you staying for dinner?" My mother asked.

Raph looked down at me as if asking for my permission. I gave him a nod. "Yes, ma'am."

"Is Lilly asleep?"

"Bathroom," I whispered to him.

"She's in the bathroom." After he said that, I pulled his face back down towards mine.

"Do you know what you want to eat?" I heard Ian yell.

I groaned once again, pulling away from him in frustration. "They're doing this on purpose," I grunted.

Raph rolled over, "Pizza…" he muttered to himself, resting his hand on his forehead.

"Huh?" I asked him, confused as to why he said that.

"Pizza!" He yelled.

"Alright, do you care what's on it?" Ian yelled from downstairs. Oh, okay…

"No."

"Got it."

I sat up. The fact that Raph and my family get along now is just wild to me. Literally, everyone went from hating him to asking what he wanted for dinner. It's kind of cool, but it was also kind of hard to process, especially since all this has gone down in two days.

I think I just need to sleep for an entire day.

I slapped Raph's thigh, "Come on, might as well hang out downstairs since we're not going to do anything here."

Raph jumped up and followed me out of my room, "We will later, though." He hugged me from behind. "That's a promise."

"I'll hold you to that."

Alright, so it seems like everything is going great, right? Looks like we're going to end on a good note. ...anyways. Meet the baby in the next chapter!
