TMNT: Lullaby for Leo
Ch.7~ Crazy days
This last few weeks have been so confusing, first our lair is destroyed then the things that trashed our place try to kill woman. Then we help that woman and defeat the guy commanding the trash-can monsters. And we see ninja's in New York; other than ourselves, needless to say, I ain't exactly peachy... Not only did all that shit happen I tried to pound Mikey with a metal pipe.
Sitting on the rooftop I grumbled a few more choice words under my breath, seriously what the hell is my problem. No wonder everyone keeps their distance, all I do is bring pain and anger. Untying my wristband, I looked at the scar on my wrist, god doesn't tell me I was even thinking of trying to do that again. Sighing heavily, I slowly put back on my wristband; no I'll never make such a dumbass choice ever again.
"Get away!" A woman screamed, getting ready to pounce her assailants I saw a man with a bat and a goalie mask enter the alley.
Now, this seems interesting, I watched as the man knocked both men back and handing the woman back her purse who proceeded to run like hell. Seems like an ally to me, grabbing a hockey stick with his other hand from the golf bag he had over his shoulder he stood over the men angrily. He began to beat both the men to a bloody pulp, at this rate he'll kill them.
Jumping off the roof into the shadows I grabbed him from behind holding back, both punks ran like hell. Not that I could blame them this guy was a maniac. Shit he's strong, he broke free from my hold, swinging his hockey stick behind him I dodged it.
"Woah buddy easy, now I like what ya did but there ain't no need to kill them." I lectured dodging his attacks.
"Ya damn freak!" he shouted, getting ready to pummel this asshole I felt him kick me into the trash cans and run off. "Meet me the west end of the central park at eleven on Friday so I can kick your ass freak."
"Well ain't this a peachy day," I growled, getting up I whipped the garbage off myself. "Just peachy..."
(Leo's POV)
Raph came home and apologized to Mikey, who was used to this already and accepted the apology even if it was giving roughly. He was sporting a decent bruise on his cheek, knowing Raph he probably got that beating on street punks. Idiot, I don't why he feels he has to run off every time; although today Don and Splinter were real pissed I guess.
"Nice bruise hothead." I teased, he glared at me annoyed.
"Shut it fearless!" he growled, "I don't feel like kicking your ass right now."
"I'm just teasing you Raph, so I bet there's an interesting story on how you got it," I stated, he looked down annoyed.
"Damn Hockey mask wearing punk..." he muttered, okay what the hell was he doing?
"Elaborate."
"I saw another vigilante he didn't just try to scare off the punks, he was beating these punks to a bloody pulp then he got into a fight with me when I stopped him and let the poor punks go. I think he was crazy..."
"Trouble just finds you doesn't it?"
"Fuck off fearless."
"I'm surprised you ain't plannin' a counter attack," I said, he smiled devilishly. "You already have a counter don't you...?"
"Of course I do, and I have a nice idea for a ride."
"I have a feeling you're going to be bothering Don about this plan aren't you, just make sure he doesn't rip off your head."
"Very encouraging."
"Like I'd let Don do that, he won't kill you, he knows that means I'd be after him."
"Not helping Leo!"
"I'll go with you."
He growled embarrassed and walked ahead of me, I chuckled Raph was so adorable when he was like this. Let's hope Don is a little less pissed off, I don't feel like having to hold back a pissed off Don. He turns into a pretty strong guy when he's mad and doing anything to Mikey just makes him all the more formidable. Even I get a bit scared when he gets mad like that although I can definitely still hold him back and even beat him. Let's hope it doesn't come to that...
(Raph's POV)
At this rate the Battle shell is going to be a pretty sweet ride, I'm happy that I get to do stuff like this. Leo and Mikey were handling the paint job while Don and I handle the mechanics, and Leo says I'm the girly one. Okay, this is the worst time to remind myself of that, now I feel like I should be the one painting. Doubt Leo would have a clue on how to fix this engine and make it better though, so I guess the really girly one wins this battle of manliness. Take that Leo.
(Leo's POV)
I can't believe Raph is already this pumped, he's like a little kid and I actually find it rather adorable. We'll be leaving tomorrow and right now he can't even sit still, Don is up in the garage and Mikey went with him. Splinters in meditation it's one of the rare moments we get alone and all he does and pace around giddily. Not that I mind too much, it's too cute for me to dislike.
"What you looking at?" he growled, I chuckled he was far too sweet.
"Come here a second," I replied, he moved closer and I pulled him into my lap. "You're far too adorable."
"Leo what are you?" he asked in a whisper embarrassed and flushing.
"Is it wrong that I want you." I purred, he flushed as I kissed his lips quickly but with passion.
"Leo, what about?"
"It's just us for now."
I placed another small kiss on his lips but as soon as I did I heard the shoji doors open Raph jumped out of my hold and began his impatient pace again. Not again at this rate, I'll never be able to hold him or kiss him for a year. Damn, I hate this whole damn rule!
(Raph's POV)
I can't believe it Leo was kissing me on the couch, god then I pulled away, ugh I wanted to feel his lips again and those arms. I'm so the chick now, god when did I want him to do these things to me. Even my fantasy turned into a chick version, at this rate I'll want to wear make-up.
Flopping on my bed I groaned into my pillow, this is so uncool. I mean I love Leo and all but god I hate feeling like a chick; I used to be a dude! What happened to my manliness; maybe when I fight that damn hockey mask wearing weirdo I'll feel manly again.
"Raphael?" Splinter said knocking on my door lightly.
"What is it sensei?" I growled opening my door.
"I was wondering if you'd like to join me for a cup of tea?" he asked, okay he must need to talk to me.
"Uh sure sensei," I replied, I followed him into his room and shut the shoji doors behind myself.
"You have been getting stronger I am very proud of you, but I was wondering if you'd let me on why you are being so distant? It worries me to see this, you know you can always talk to me."
"Scared..."
"Of what?"
"Leo finding out the truth..."
"Does his reaction scare you that much?"
"Of course, it does father, it's just..."
"You are hoping that soon I'll allow you to search for Vincent."
"Yes, you've seen my improved skills maybe I can finally..."
"It is still far too dangerous, and I told you only when you had the support of your brothers could I allow you to search for Vincent."
"But father..."
"No Raphael it's far too dangerous."
"Sensei I was..." Leo started opening the shoji doors.
"I shall speak to you in a moment..." Splinter began but I cut him off.
"No actually you can both talk, I was just leaving," I growled I walked past Leo and I felt his gaze follow me as I went back up to my room.
(Leo's POV)
He had tears in his eyes, I turned to father who looked sadly at Raph as he stormed off. Shaking his head wearily he knelt down and poured himself some tea. Motioning me to sit down I shut the doors and knelt in front of him.
"So, what is it you wished to speak to me about Leonardo?" Splinter asked.
"I was wondering... if you let me be with Raph..." I muttered, he set his tea on his little table and I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"The time is not yet right for me to answer that question, you shall have to wait till the story is told." he stated, what did that mean.
"What story?"
"You shall understand when the time is right my son."
(Raph's POV)
Finally, this was all over who knew that punk was such a cool like I seen; his name's Casey and I have to say he's fun to hang with. Splinter has pretty much banned him from the lair he's kinda like Mikey he breaks things and well I guess he's just too much for them to deal with.
Me and him like to go vigilante together now which is usually fun he said soon he'd get me to try beer. It's nice to have a friend to hang with when I run off after arguements at home. It puts some of Leo's fears to rest a bit knowing I have a backup if I ever get into a bad fight.
"Raph?" Leo called knocking on my door lightly.
Opening the door I leaned against the frame, "What's up Leo?" I asked.
Leaning forward he pushed his lips against mine which caused me to instinctively pull back in shock. What could have made him do this, he moved closer and kissed me again. I tried to pull away again, but his arms wrapped around my waist holding me close. Flushing madly, I turned away from his kiss, taking a deep breath I smelled something different.
"Raph..." Leo said again and kissed my neck gently.
"Hands off," I growled pushing him away, don't tell me mating season started.
"Stop that." he hissed pinning me to the wall kissing me again.
Shoving him off me I felt myself getting more aroused, okay I need to get him out of here. Pushing him out of my room and into the railing I slammed my door shut locking it shut. I felt him slam into the door angrily, damn him.
"I don't know who's going through mating season but stay away from me fearless!" I yelled, banging on the door.
"Let me in Raph it's nothing like that!" he yelled, damn lustful idiot god I can smell him through the door.
"It is so now mess off!" I cried, feeling a small tingle of pleasure run through me from the smell alone.
God, he's like a hunter after his prey, god stop thinking of it like that I'm just getting excited. Think of Mikey belching, spiders anything, god why won't he leave me be. I trembled as another wave of pleasure hit me as he banged on my door. Don't let me open this damn door and let that horny son of a bitch in.
"Come on Raph you know you want me to come in." he pleaded, god why does he sound so seductive?!
"Go away you know we can't break Splinter's rule, please Leo leave you're scaring me," I begged, his banging stopped.
"I'm scaring you..."
"Please, Leo just go away..."
"I-I'm sorry..."
I heard him walk away looking down I saw a tear hit the floor, why am I crying. More followed as I silently cried, was I scared he'd find out I'm pretty much a girl. Was all his banging and yelling making me scared or maybe it was both. I didn't even bother to attempt to wipe away my tears as I leaned on my door shaking as I cried in silent agony.
(Leo's POV)
Leaning against a wall in the safety of my room I looked at my shaking hands in horror, I had just scared Raph. The one person in the world I swore I'd protect from all the pain of the world; I had just made him scared of me. Even now that feeling of lust is still fighting me for dominance. How could I be so rash Raph has seen enough hell why do I do this to him?
Tears flowed from my eyes as I hide my face in my hands trembling at my act. Looking back, I can see why he was so scared all I did was go in and kiss him shove him into the wall when he clearly wanted me to stop and forced him to lock me out of his room. Then after all that all I did was bang on his door yelling at him, that must be so scary for him.
How can I even apologize for this he's probably still scared, and I can't comfort him because I am what he fears. How long will this one last, will I even be able to apologize to him in the time he would actually forgive it. Before I stormed up to his room I had felt fine then I had walked by Don and Mikey and... wait did one of them go into mating season and trigger me. Was I trying to make sure they wouldn't have Raph just like an animal would do?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, Raph." I sobbed.
(Mikey's POV)
Don had been all over me and Leo had run up to Raph's room, but he was soon kicked out, Don had run off to his lab not long after that. That smell must mean he's in mating season and well from his escape act I'm assuming he's still too scared to take me as his own. I should check on Raph he's probably upset that he had to kick Leo out of his room, walking up the stairs I knocked on his door.
"Didn't I tell you to fuck off Leo!" he yelled, he sounded like he had been crying.
"It's just me Raphie, are you okay?" I asked.
"Mess of Mikey I ain't in the mood..." he growled.
"It wasn't Leo's fault Don went into mating season and I guess he acted on instinct to protect you and claim you as his mate, so Don couldn't get you. Donnie explained this to me one day, I don't know why he ran off though he was just about to kiss me..." I replied, the door opened a creak and Raph pulled me into his room.
"Okay explain that last part to me Mikey?" he questioned, I smirked I guess I hadn't told him.
"Donnie and I are in love just like you and Leo just Donnie's too shy to kiss me," I answered he looked at me in disbelief. "I thought for sure that sudden change in hormone would mean he'd try something, but he ran away."
"Good thing, Sensei would have pulled you apart," Raph stated coldly.
"I don't care what Splinter thinks he can try to send me or Don away, but I won't let him."
"Father says we're still too young and come on even though I'm a gir..."
I looked at him and he was flushing, was he about to say he was a girl or something. No that can't be right I mean Raph's a big muscle-bound dude. Right?
"You were about to say girl, weren't you?"
"I swear if you tell anyone this I'll skin you."
"What, when?"
"When I was gone for that year, I swear if you tell Leo I'll kill you."
"You haven't told anyone this?"
"Sensei knows but other than him, no."
"Does that mean you can have a baby?"
"Yes... Can we change the subject?"
"Fine."
I can't believe it Raphie's a girl now, maybe Don can turn me into a girl so I can have babies too. Leo gets to be a Dad that so cool, wait I'll be an Uncle that is so cool!
