Chapter 17: Stargazing
Leonardo stood in the dojo practicing some Niten Ichi-ryū. It's been a long day. First they ran into some guy calling himself the Pulverizer, Raph got poisoned, the Kraang got away with the power cell and to top it all off they had to push the Shellraiser back to the lair. *Bleep Bleep* the sound of his t-phone went off pulled him back into reality. It was a text from April.
To: Leo Ichiban TurtleLeo can you come over please?
From: April
Leo quickly responded that he would. He was slightly puzzled but anything for April. He found her on the roof gazing at the starry night that cascaded over the city. "April!" She turned and smiled to the turtle motioning to the spot next to her to sit.
"Hey Leo."
"What's up? Is everything okay?" he questioned.
"Yeah it's just on nights like this my dad would take me out here and we would just watch the stars. He would show me all of the constellations are. I've been kinda lonely since he's been gone and I want someone to share this with." April fell onto her back and Leonardo followed her motion. He listened as she pointed out the big and little dipper, Orion, the little bear and even Castor & Pollux the twins. Leonardo listened to every word watching her every movement, he was truly fascinated. After awhile things got silent between the two as they watched the beauty of the night sky. "You know those flowers you gave me were beautiful. I never really got to say thank you."
"You know they reminded me of you. April I don't want to lose you either because..." she sat up and stared down at him, her eyes hopeful and confused. Waiting for his next words. Say it Leo, just say it. I don't want to lose you because of something like that. "Lose our friendship." He now sat up facing her, blue eyes to blue eyes.
"So you think I'm beautiful like the flowers?"
"Well... I.. umm.. Hey look at that star over there!" His arm outreached to the glowing north star above them.
"Leonardo." She was now leaning in close towards him. Just inch's away. He could feel her breath on his lips.
"Extremely." He closed the gap between them, placing his green lips on her soft ones. It was awkward at first but soon their lips began moving as one. They returned to their stargazing his arms wrapped around her pulling her closer to him as he stole more kisses under the starry night from his red-haired beauty. Unfortunately, to the disappointment of the female foot clan glaring from across the rooftops.
A/N: Yay! They finally kissed! Leave a review of your total excitement and let me know what you think! :)
