"No," she replied. "I don't want to." Leo only pressed his lips together as he crossed his arms over his plastron. He cocked his right leg out while waiting for her to change her mind. Tonight was about trying new things, he had told her, not to bail out on everything he requested.
"Karai, you promised," Leonardo revealed. The humanoid serpent only huffed before she sat back down on the bed. She then, too, crossed her arms over her chest, glaring her green irises at his direction. Leo nodded over to the cardboard box that laid next to her. She lifted a brow before glancing at the box. Karai scoffed as her hand touched it. Slowly, she inched the box closer to the edge of the bed while continuing to stare at him. He widened his eyes when it fell over, scattering the items onto the floor.
"No," she sternly said. Leonardo scrambled the items and clothing back into its respectable place. "I told you, I'm not in the mood to do that." He sighed before getting up, the box in his hands.
"Alright. You win." Walking over to the bookshelf, he placed the package on the shelf prior to going back to her. "Though, you know what that means," he whispered. Her eyes enlarged when she realized that he was serious. Oh, she thought, this would be interesting. Still, Karai looked away, nose up in the air. Before she could get up to leave, she felt his large calloused hand on her clothed thigh. She nudged him away, but was easily beaten when he hummed a little tune.
"Stop." Karai knew the song he was humming, an obnoxious song that she heard a few days ago on the radio. "Don't do it." The song itself wasn't bad, it was just too repetitive for her taste.
"I'll stop if you do as I say." She almost shuddered at the low voice he presented. Yet, she tried her hardest to not give in. What would be worst, letting him sing that annoying song or wearing the strange clothing? Weighing both options, she finally made a decision. You're lucky that I really like you.
"Fine," she whispered. He cupped his non-existent ear while leaning closer.
"What did you say?" Karai groaned at his smirk.
"Fine! I'll do it!" she spat out as her fangs appeared before him. Leo gleefully stood up and jogged over to the bookshelf to pick up the box and bringing it to her. He sat back down on the bed, eagerly for her to wear the costume. Karai frowned before pulling out the sparkling dress and slipping into the pink ruffles. She managed to put it on over her clothing. After she was done, Leo dug into the box and pulled out a plastic tiara. Cautiously, he placed it on top of her head.
"Perfect." She rolled her eyes while he too began to get into his knight costume. Putting the board game to the bed across from her, Leo's bright eyes averted toward her. "Are you ready for some Mazes and Mutants?" he excitedly exclaimed. Karai, now dressed as a princess, groaned loudly while snatching the dice and throwing it at him.
"Baka, shut up and roll the dice." Leonardo only smiled at her words as he held the dice in his hands.
"I really like you, too."
