He listened at the softly spoken tone, staring into depths of jade as she leaned up for red pouty lips to reach him. The surface of his carapace laid cold against the stone wall, muscular legs around her lithe body, hoping she wouldn't leave their embrace. A massive hand gently held her waist, as the other kneaded a slim shoulder, his breathing accelerating the closer she became. Soon, thin fingers curled over his plastron, metal armor rubbing alongside his chest once she stopped talking. The blue-clad terrapin overheard her wistful sigh, watching hot tears trace over sharp coils, lips trembling.
Karai withdrew, lowering to sit back onto the floor, gloved hands now reaching his wide leather belt. Thick digits rose to cup her face, thumb stroking cheek after pushing aside dark locks.
"Did you miss me?" Barely recognizing her voice, he still nodded. Constricted pupils soon averted, avoiding his solemn gaze.
Closing his eyes, he waited for plump lips to meet him, imagining the long awaited kiss he dreamed most nights after the invasion, back on Earth. Pulling herself up by yanking the two straps, the sultry smile forced him blink nervously.
"I missed you, too." Fangs poking his lip, hands groping his muscular thighs, he managed to hold in a moan, busying himself by tugging the plum colored sash away from her waist. He shuddered when her lips met the muscles of his neck, rising as gargantuan hands held her by the hips, never wanting to let go. She was finally in his arms, again.
The vibration of the space ship jolted him out of his trance, scrambling up to look over at the bright flickering red emergency lights surrounding them.
Breathing heavily, the leader glanced around, seeing his brothers taking care of the alerting sound. As soon as all was well, he slumped back to his seat, knuckles rubbing his skull, head throbbing. Leonardo silently reminisced the fantasy, wanting to remember the gentle touches, the tone of her voice, and the kiss.
He wanted her to come home. Safe and sound.
The piercing metal clanking against the floor alerted everyone on the ship, turning after Leonardo frustratingly threw his helmet.
Ignoring his own outburst, he turned to stare out the large window, wishing for a sooner reunion.
He needed her back.
"I miss you, Karai."
