A/N: Hey guys! I am so sorry I haven't posted in like 3 months. I just didn't have my laptop in December and then school started and its all been so hectic. I didn't like the idea of you having to beg him for forgiveness it just felt wrong. So I re-wrote it. I hope the longer chapter makes up at least a little.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own tmnt or any of the characters within.

Y/N pov

"M-me?" you stuttered.

He smiled awkwardly "Ya.."

"Me.." You said your voice trailing. You stared at the ceiling confused.

"Could you maybe say something beside 'me'?" he was starting to sound a little irritated.

You smirked before leaning towards him. He looked like a tomato as he watched you. Your noses where almost touching as you whispered "5 minutes ago." He looked at you confused. "W-what?"

You took a few steps back before turning to Spike. "We met 5 minutes ago. While you where in the kitchen." His confused look turned to one of understanding. "Oh."

You laughed. "Why do you look so disappointed? I thought you wanted to know our little secret."

He turned to you quickly "I'm not disappointed.. It just wasn't what I expected."

You furrowed your brow playfully "Well, what where you expecting?"

He swallowed "Well.. I just thought.." You took a few steps closer "Ah-ha?" you smirked as he swallowed again and started scratching the back of his head nervously.

"That you would maybe.." he continued rigidly. You had never seen him like this before. It was kind of cute.

"That I would maybe?" you asked walking closer.

He swallowed before glancing at you "Ya know.."

You where just a few inches from him now. "No, I don't believe I do."

He swallowed "That you'd.."

You smiled. 'Ok, enough easing him.' You looked at him earnestly. "I like you too, Raphael."

He looked at you surprised. "You do?"

"Yes. I do." you sighed. He was beaming.

"I didn't think you would. Ya know with me bein' a mutant and you bein'.. well, You." You had never really seen him this happy before.

"What are you talking about? Your impossible not to like. For crying out loud, Have you even met yourself?" you smiled.

"Well, I am pretty awesome." he boasted.

You sighed, "You can practically see your ego inflating." You crossed your arms. You both laughed.

"So. What now?" you asked.

"How would I know? This has never happened to me before.." He was still looking at you. It was starting to make you a little self-conscience. You scratched the back of you neck awkwardly "Well, for starters. You could stop staring at me like that. Its kind of getting hard for me to breath.." Just like that he snapped out of it.

"Sorry.." he said, turning pink.

"Maybe we shouldn't tell the guys just yet," You thought "I man it's still an early development."

"Right!" You he practically shouted "Maybe we should wait."

You stood awkwardly for a few seconds. Not sure what to do.

"Well, I should be off. I have to study for our pop quiz in Science and get some other homework done." You started petting Spike goodbye.

"Wait. How is it a pop quiz if you know about it?" H e asked confused.

"Oh please. Mrs Reyes gives up a pop quiz every Monday." You sighed. "So, I should go and as our principle says; 'Happy Hard Work' to me."

"Happy Hard Work?" He laughed.

"Yep, so we don't leave everything to luck anymore." You sighed "Anyway... Bye." you said before awkwardly starting toward the door.

"Um, Y/N! Wait!" he called.

You stopped midway to the door. "What's up?"

"Well, you could stay in the lair for a while. I'm sure Donnie won't mind helping you study.." he said hopefully.

You thought for a moment "I guess that would be ok.. but I should probably check with Donnie first."

"And maybe after your finished we could maybe.. hang out." He was scratching the back of his neck again.

You smiled. "That sounds like fun."

He beamed "Great! Its a date!" You looked at him funny. "Well, not a date like that, maybe just a...a.."

"Is the great Raphael at a loss for words!?" you giggled.

"Of course not! " He said defensively babbling. "I was just saying that if you don't want it to be a date like that then-"

You cut him off " I'd love to." you smiled.

"Awesome." He said letting out a breath.

Finally left to go to Donnies' lab.

"Hey Don." You chimed as you walked in.

He glanced up from his computer saying a soft "Hi."

"Soo. Are you busy with anything important right now?" You asked, plopping down on the counter across from him. "No, right now im just trying to figure out how I could get the Shell-razor to pick up more speed."

"Have you tried Rocket fuelled jets? It could amp up the speed and sure as an epic escape if need be. You could even get Raph or Casey to help you out with the quantum mechanics." You suggested.

He looked up at you surprised "I never thought of that! I was going to modify the tank to use rocket fuel. It would have taken me at least a week to find the right parts!" He got up happily and stated walking around the lab from table to table.

"Happy to have helped." You watched Donnie walk around the lab for a few more seconds. "Um, Donnie could I ask you a favour?" He looked up from the papers he was now holding. "If it isn't too much trouble that is." You added quickly.

"Ya sure. What is it?" he walked back to you.

"Well, I was wondering if you could maybe help me study for my Science test. But if your busy i can just study in the kitchen." You said slowly

"Study for Science?" he asked "I'd love to! What are you doing in class right now?"

"Well we're going over the elements of the periodic table and we're revising sterkiometry, Biomes and the cycles of oxygen and nitrogen."

"Oh! Those are my favourite parts! Especially the periodic table, I use it all the time." He smiled.

Just then a thought came to mind you smiled. "Potassium."

He looked at you funny before realizing what you where doing. "Do you really want to start this? i mean i don't mean to brag but i am basically te king of periodic jokes.'

You gave him a look that said 'Challenge accepted.' before responding "Did you hear that Oxygen and Potassium went on a date? It went OK."

He smirked "Ever heard of Nobelium?"

You lifted you head up high and replied "NO." before you both dissolved into laughter.

*2 Hours of Lame Science Jokes Later*

You had laughed so hard you sides where splitting. After you finished studying, Donnie had offered to help you with your other homework. It was already 10:30pm when Raph came into the room wondering what all the laughing was about.

"We where just doing some lame Science jokes." You replied, still trying to catch your breath as you walked out of the lab after thanking Donnie for helping you with your school work.

You spent the rest of the night watching movies with Raph and feeding spike until it finally time for you to go home and get some sleep before school tomorrow.

*The Next Day*

You yawned as you switched off your annoying alarm and got ready for school. You missed the weekend already. For the next 5 days you could only see the turtles after you got back from school until 11pm. It felt good to have finally found your uncle. Even if he had turned into a mutated Rat, family was still family. You smiled 'Family' oh how you missed being able to be a part of one again.

You sat down in Science class. And even though everyone was chattering around you, you couldn't help but think of Raphael. You got butterflies just thinking about him. You still couldn't believe you where dating.

"Hey there Y/N! Why so happy today? Did something happen over the weekend?" You snapped back to reality, just to see your cheerful friend Ali.

"Why would you say that?" you said going slightly pink.

"Well you didn't immediately object, so you must be hiding something. Does this have anything to do with why your not answering my texts?" she pried.

"Oh! Sorry about that. I was really busy doing," you thought for a moment "Homework."

She raised an eyebrow "Homework. That's the best you could come up with? Really?"

You laughed shyly turning pinker. "Why are you turning pink?" She paused for a second before gasping "Its a boy isn't it!? Come on! Spill it! I want to know every detail! what's his name? How tall is he? What colour are his eyes? How old is he? Does he come to our school? Where's he from? Come on! Give ,e something!" she gasped for breath as she hadn't taken a breath throughout her interrogation.

"It's not a guy." You said smiling at her excitement "I was visiting my uncle and found out i have 4 adopted cousins."

"Oh! How cute! How old are they? How many girls, how many boys? I bet their the cutest things in the universe!" She beamed.

"Um, ok calm down. Their about our age and all boys." You laughed.

"Ooo! Are they cute? Tell me their cute. Wait. Their your cousins, and you don't even like any boys that aren't related to you. You probably don't even notice." she said mostly to herself than you.

"You'd think that wouldn't you." You whispered to yourself. "Actually we're not related by blood. Just by adoption." You said a little louder.

"Anyway." She continued "Are you ready for our dance assignment next lesson?" She grinned "Did you learn all the moves?"

You rolled your eyes "Honestly Ali. Have you ever known me to not learn all the moves?"

"True. You know-" She was going to say more, but just then the teacher walked in. "Chow Bella!" she yelled before taking her seat o the opposite end of the room.

School was boring. As usual, you being the diversely intelligent person you are you both got full marks for your dance, another 'A' in in gym. (Really? Climb a rope? You could that with your eyes closed.) In math Mr Calvin revised Trigonometry and how to distinguish between a sin, cos and tan graph. In Science Mrs Reyes gave you *Gasp!* a pop quiz! (Which you got an 'A+' for thanks to Donnie.) After school you practiced your Ninjutsu in the gym as usual and as you left it started raining. (You'd think you'd learn to bring an umbrella by now.)

On your way to the lair you glanced at your watch and realized you could still catch them before training! In addition to the 3 hours you spent in the gym. You made your way down the manhole, making sure to close it behind you, and quickly made your way to the lair.

Leos' pov

Sensei had just called us in for training when Raphael walked past me with a smile on his face. And i don't mean his signature smirk. He has been in a good mood the whole day and its starting to worry me. He hasn't even snapped once!

Y/N pov

When you got to the lair, you heard Master Splinter talking in the dojo, so you decided to head in. You opened the door slightly and picked your head in. Everyone was staring at you.

"Y/N." said Splinter happily.

"Um, Hi!" You said happily "Sorry for popping in unannounced, i just thought i'd say hi on my way home."

"It is no problem my child. Would you like to join us in training?" he questioned.

"Um, sure." You said walking in "I guess I'm already dressed."

You sat down in between Micky and Donni. "Wow! Duddet! Why are you so wet?" exclaimed Micky, seeing your drenched clothes.

Everyone turned to look at you. "Well... It's sort of raining outside and I forgot my umbrella at home so.." You scratched the back of your neck awkwardly.

"You should not stay in wet clothes my child. You could get a cold." Master Splinter said the worry evident in his voice..

"It's ok. Really. It'll dry in no time." You reassured them.

"Even so, I would rather you change just in case." Splinter insisted.

"I'm ok. Really it's no big deal, Oji. And anyway I have nothing to change into." You said pointedly.

"Hm, I suppose you are right.." Splinter thought.

"Um, actually I think I know where to find some clothes that may fit her." Came a soft response from your left. You all turned to the voice and found that it was Raph. He was sitting next to Leo at the end of the line.

"Very well. Raphael, you will show Jordan the clothes and then return to Training." Master Splinter decided. You where about to object, but Raph had already gotten up and started towards the door. You jumped up and hurried after him. Leaving the others to begin training.

As you followed him through the corridors to wherever it was that you where going you decided to try to catch him off guard for once. You jumped up and landed on the back of his shell. He tumbled over due to the unexpected force.

"What are ya doing?" he laughed.

"Oh. You know just walking down the corridor to destination I know nothing about." You said sitting sideways on his stomach "Typical Monday." you looked at him and smirked playfully.

"Hey, how many times do you have to walk down corridors not knowing where your going for it to become typical?" He raised an eyebrow.

"About 3." You replied getting up.

"You've wondered down 3 that you didn't know?" He asked taking your outstretching hand.

"I blame my Boyfriend." You said helping him up.

"Wow. Your Boyfriend must be a very astonishing and handsome guy." He gloated.

"And modest too." you said sarcastically. "Although he can be a bit fiery at times. Especially when it comes to his brothers."

"I am not!" he said shocked.

"Relax. That's what I like about him." You said leaning up and pecking his cheek.

He stood stunned for a few seconds so you walked ahead. "So, this way?" You asked pointing to the only remaining room in the corridor.

"Y-ya! That one." He said finally snapping out of it. He raced in behind you.

You walked into a plain room with nothing but a double bed and a cupboard. Raph moved towards the cupboard and picked up a small pile of clothes before handing them to you. "I'll wait outside." He said walking out the door.

You pit the clothes on the bed and started taking off your wet clothes. Once you had replaced the clothes you looked at yourself in the mirror in the cupboard. "Are these Aprils Clothes?"

"Ya. I'm sure she wont mind. I mean you two are friends right?" He asked

"Yes, but we have completely different taste in clothes." You said walking towards the closed door.

"Well it was either that or you risk getting a cold. So.." He was cut off by you walking out of the room.

"Is it as bad as it feels?" You asked. "And be honest."

"...No." he replied.

"You hesitated." you narrowed your eyes.

"N-no I didn't." He said looking away. "It just doesn't look like you."

You sighed "Well, It's only for the next 2 or so hours then i'll be back in my beloved clothed again." You said dreamily.

You both walked back to the dojo and as soon as you walked in everyone looked at you. "Not a word." You said angrier than you intended. You where just happy that April was the same size as you or this would be very awkward.

You had already missed the spar between Micky and Donni but next up was Raph and Leo then You and Donni.

You watched them closely. Watching Raph as he dodged and landed light blows before glancing at you. Your eyes met and your breath hitched as you gave him an encouraging smile.

Just then Leo spin kicked Raph in the chest sending him flying into the opposite wall. You gasped at the hard 'Thump' that had come from his body colliding with the concrete. You got up as you saw Raph get up and stomp towards Leo. Fury evident in his eyes as he clenched his fists ready to punch.

You glanced at Leo who was smiling triumphantly at you. Raph was 3 steps away before you sprung towards him and placed both hands on his shoulders telling him to look at you. Cold emerald met Calm E/C. You looked into his eyes and told him firmly "Calm down. Breath with me." you instructed him as you breathed "In." pause "and out." pause. You continued this until he seemed calm again. You smiled before letting go of his shoulders.

"Raphael," Raph looked hesitantly away from you and to Masters Splinter. "You seem distracted today. You are usually not so easily defeated. Even so. You must learn to control your temper."

"Hai Sensei." Raph replied with a respectful bow of his head.

"As for you Y/N. You are very good at calming down even the most unharmonious of storms." Splinter said turning to you.

"Ya. I've never seen Raph calm down that fast before." Added Donni.

"Thank you Sensei. I was a First Aider at my old school in England. Level 3 actually. So they taught us how to deal with anxiety attacks and hyperventilation so I just adjusted it for the situation." You shrugged.

"Wait. You where a First Aider?" Micky asked confused.

"Yes. One of my friends was the Vice Captain." You added.

"It'll really help to have someone who knows First Aid around here." Donni commented "I mean. I know Biology and what I've read online, but it's good to have someone who specializes in it."

"Anyway.." you said desperate to change the subject "Lets go Donni."

"Actually I am pairing you up with Leonardo instead. To get a better idea of your skill level." Sensei interrupted.

"Ok." You shrugged.

You took your place on the sparing mat and waited. "Hajime!" Splinter called out.

You circled Leo, mimicking his position not taking your eyes off of him. He smiled at you. Catching you off guard. He sprang into action like a snake in the night and tried to trip you with a leg sweep, but you jumped and regained your focus. He attacked again, this time with a punch. You deflected with ease before spin kicking him in the leg causing him to lose balance and fall to his knees before you pinned him to the ground from behind.

"Hajime!"

You let go and helped him up. "Well done Y/N your skills are advanced. You are a true Kunoichi." Splinter complimented.

You smiled up at him. "Thank you, Sensei. But I can't take all the credit. I did have an amazing Sensei. And now I hope to become better with you as my Sensei." You said sitting back down between Micky. You focused your attention back on Raph as he stood smirking at you before taking his position on the mat opposite Donni.

Raph beat Donni by Knocking him on his back and pinning him. When training was over Raph looked at you before turning to leave the Dojo. You where about to follow him, but you where engulfed in a sea of questions ranging from First Aid to Training after School.

After you 'escaped' you made your way towards the training room. As you closed the door you heard grunts coming from behind you. You turned around to find Raph by the punching bags with his back to you.

You smiled as you walked towards him. "So this is where you went." you said standing right behind him.

He jumped a little before turning around and seeing you. "Ya. I spend most of the day training and the rest of the time I spend eating pizza." He laughed.

"Well then I guess the only time left for me is to train." You said mock sadly.

"I can make time for you." He said walking towards you.

"No no. There's no time for that when there is training to be done." You said firmly. You looked at him and watched his face go serious.

You walked towards the mat and he followed. "Why don't we continue with hand to hand." He nodded an 'Okay' before taking up stance.

"Ready?" you asked. He smirked.

You circled him waiting for him to make the first move. He lunged at you trying to trip you in a similar maneuver to the one Leo had used. You dodged by jumping behind him. You swept your leg under him trying to trip him but he jumped and landed a few feet away. You smirked at each other. He lunged at you again and you grinned at him slyly. He looked at you confused. Momentarily letting his guard down. You then sprung into action and pinned him to the ground holding his wrists on either side of his head.

"I win." you smirked.

He smiled at you impressed. "I guess you did. Now what?"

You pause for a moment "This." You said looking down at his confused face as you leaned down. He caught on and closed his eyes as your lips brushed...
