Raph stared at Casey, shock before growling and tugging his best friend towards his room. Once inside he pushed Casey against the wall.

"What do you know?" He hissed into his face. Casey flinched slightly before answering.

"Well, you have been acting weird lately and Don and me had these suspicions that you in fact liked Leo and he told me that you talked to him." He said carefully.

Raph sighed. He had suspected it was Don who had told him. He hadn't expected that Casey had been noticing his change in attitude.

"Why didn't you tell me Raph? I'm your best friend" Casey said softly, with only a trace of hurt lingering in his voice. Raph sighed and sat on his bed.

"I just couldn't Casey. I mean, it's not every day you fall for your brother" Raph snorted. Casey smiled softly.

"I aint judging. I just don't want you to be sad." He said. They shared a smile. Raph was now glad that he didn't have to tell his friend, but mad that Don had told him. I'm gonna have to hit him, then thank him, Raph thought chuckling.

"We better be getting back to the guys" Casey says. Raph nods. They might start suspecting something.

They walked out of the room and into a deserted lounge room. They looked at the room and then back at each other in confusion. That is, until they heard a commotion in the kitchen.

"LEO NO! DON'T TOUCH THE BLENDER! EVERYONE RUN FOR TEHIR LIVES!" Mikey's shout echoed through the lair.

"Mikey! I'M NOT TOUCHING THE BLENDER!" An answering shout reached them before they both bolted towards the kitchen to find Leo sitting on the table with a scowl on his face.

"Jeez Leo! I was only joking, but you know you can't touch a cooking appliance without nearly wiping out the human race" Mikey said smiling. Leo kept scowling, but the corners of his mouth began to lift.

"Is he that bad?" Casey whispered to Raph. They had been watching the scene without the others noticing just yet.

Raph chuckled.

"Yep" he said before they made their way into the kitchen. The others barely acknowledged them.

"I'm not that bad!" Leo protested. Don just chuckled next to him.

"You kinda are Leo" He smiled. Leo looked away and was the first to notice Raph and Casey. He smiled and waved them over.

"Can you please tell them that I'm not that bad a cook?" He asked a note of exasperation in his tone. Raph just raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry Fearless, but I'm with Don and Mikey. You can't cook." Leo just smirked.

"Oh really. Well, how do you think I fed myself in South America?" Leo snapped. Raph pretended to think for a minute and the others started to snicker around him as he said sarcastically,

"Oh I don't know… you stole things from the villagers? Or ate fruits that don't need cooking to be eaten?" He said. The rest just started laughing and Leo rolled his eyes.

"Actually Raphael, the fruits there were very dangerous and needed to be cooked. I can't cook in a modern kitchen, but I sure can work a master piece with a pot, roots, fruits and campfire that's for sure" he said before hopping off the bench and walking out of the room.

Everyone stared at each other. But Raph just kept staring at Leo's hips that were heading towards the dojo. What was with his hips? Raph was addicted to them!

"Should I go get him?" Don asked. Mikey just shrugged and went rummaging through the cupboards. Don rolled his eyes and sat, lost in thought. His eyes turned to Raph and pointed towards the dojo. Raph nodded.

"Hey don?" he asked. Don turned to him expectantly.

"Yeah Raph?"

Raph smirked and came up to him. Don's eyes went wid. SLAP! Raph had just slapped Don's arm.

"Ouch! What the friggin hell Raph! Shit! That Hurts!" He exclaimed, rubbing the skin that was now turning a light shade of red.

"That was for telling Casey about my LP." Don was going to say something when Raph suddenly engaged him in a warm embrace.

"Thank you" he whispered and that made Don smile softly as he returned the hug. He let go and patted Raph on the back before walking over to the fridge for an ice pack. He deserved the hit and they both knew it while only one would admit it.

Raph let out a small sigh, but Don could detect it. He took Raph outside of the kitchen and smiled.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Raph just glanced at the dojo and Don understood everything from that one look. Raph went to say something when Don interrupted.

"Rejection? Don't tell him now if you don't want to yet. Just wait for when the time seems right ok?" he said and Raph nodded uncertainly. Don pushed him towards the dojo.

"Go to your princess" he whispered before running back towards the kitchen before Raph could launch himself at him.

Don chuckled as Raph headed to the dojo. This plan was gonna work! Casey gave him thumbs up and Mikey smirked.

"Those two don't know what hit the!" he whispered which made Don laugh. Mikey's heart began to flitter around in his chest. It always did when he heard Don's laugh. He returned to cooking with Casey and Don just sat down to study some technology that they had found one day after going to the dumpsite.

He tried to concentrate, but he kept glancing up whenever he heard Mikey and Casey laugh or joke. He scowled. Why was he feeling this way?
"Wow Don! What did the couch do to you bro?" Mikey's voice disturbed his thoughts. He looked at Mikey and smiled before turning back to his invention.

"Nothing Mikey. Just having some trouble with this" He said. Mikey smiled sadly before turning away. Casey just smiled and gave Mikey a comforting hug. Casey knew of Mikey's crush because Mikey was too embarrassed to tell his brothers and April was not an option. So he was left with Casey.

Casey had actually listened to him and supported him. Casey was a bonehead, but he was also very comforting.

"C'mon Mikey. Let's keep cooking okay? We are only half way through the lesson! I need to know more" Casey said, hoping to distract him. Mikey giggled which caught Don's attention.

In the dojo…

Leo narrowed his eyes as he went through the kata's. He wasn't angry. No. he was just a bit sad. He could cook! Just not with modern appliances. And how they all laughed at the him cooking ruined his appetite.

Raph was watching Leo from the edge of the room. He smirked as Leo twisted his mask around as to blind himself and went through some kicks and jumps. It was all perfectly timed. But of course, Fearless Leader needed to be perfect. Raph silently walked behind Leo and tapped his shoulder.

Leo stiffened and punched the figure behind him.

"SHIT! What the fuck was that for?" Raph said, angry at the attack. Leo froze. SHIT! He had just hurt Raph! He turned and saw his brother rubbing his cheek which now held a nasty bruise.

"Raph! I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you! I was just so caught up and then you come out of nowhere…" Raph stopped listening to Leo's apology to smirk. Poor Leo, getting worked up over nothing. His brother was still talking.

Raph just put a finger on Leo's lips, where he wished that his own would one day meet. He smiled at Leo he went bright red.

"It's alright. I just wanted to make sure you were alright" Leo shyly smiled, his face still red. That's nice of him… he thought dreamily. Raph then moved back and held up his fists.

Leo just stared before copying the position. Raph wanted to help his brother relieve some tension so a small fight should ensure him to relax after.

Punch.

Kick.

Doge.

Kick again.

Duck.

It was like a routine until Raph finally pinned Leo to the ground. Leo smiled and Raph got off him. Leo took the offered and stood up. They stared at each other. Raph was still holding Leo's hand and he blushed as he let go awkwardly. Leo smiled and they walked out. The clock read 2:30 and Casey said that he would have to be gone by 4pm.

Mikey and Casey were just serving the food up on plates. Don tossed them a towel each and they wiped their foreheads and arms before eating.

"Yum! Pasta!" Leo said, happily. Raph stared in surprise. Leo like pasta? I thought it was sushi or pizza! Raph thought as he watche Leo twist the pasta on his fork.

Clearly everyone thought the same. They stared at him shock. He glanced around.

"What?" he said. Raph decided to answer.

"We thought that you liked pizza or sushi." He said and Leo just chuckled.

"I do like them, but pasta has always been my favourite. I actually can make it here without anything burning." He said with a note of proudness.

Everyone just smiled and laughed silently.

"I'm glad you like it!" Mikey said as he began to eat. They all started eating happily, talking about the ice hockey, Don's new project and , sadly, girls.

"So… Leo… you got your eye on anyone?" Mikey asked. Leo turned bright red.

Yes…

"No"

"Really?" Mikey said. He then glanced at Raph "What about you Raph? You got someone in mind?" Raph blushed. If looks could kill, Mikey would have been dead years ago. Mikey ignored the glare and Don was staring at Mikey in disbelief. Was he seriously asking that? Don chuckled softly.

Leo was just watching Raph through hesitant eyes. Raph's eyes flashed to him for a second before answering.

"Um… well… kinda?" he mumbled. He saw Leo looking at him curiously.

"What about you Mikey?" Raph asked, trying to draw the attention away from him. Mikey was blushing and stuttering as he mumbled something about water.

Don looked at Mikey and Raph, amusement in his eyes. Casey was pretending to drink his glass of coke while smothering up his laughter. Leo shook his head at Mikey. He stood up and began to collect some of the dishes that needed cleaning.

Leo was scrubbing some of the dishes when he heard a small cough from the entrance of the kitchen. Casey had left 5 minutes ago and Leo had done most of the dishes. Don was in the lab and Mikey was playing a video game.

He turned and saw Raph holding some cups. Leo smiled and turned back to his washing up. Raph walked in and placed the dishes on the counter.

"I'll wash the rest. Just put them away okay?" Raph mumbled and Leo nodded. The radio was going and it was an alright song. It was Red by Taylor Swift. While he was putting the things away he started to sing softly.

Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving was Red…

Leo smiled softly. It made him think of Raph whenever this song came up. Raph was listening to Leo sing along. He liked Leo's voice- It could travel various pitches and it all sounded smooth and wonderful.

Leo huffed suddenly and Raph looked up to see that Fearless couldn't reach one of the cupboards.

Chuckling, he reached up and took the pot and placed it inside the cupboard. He shut it and put a finger on his lips, his eyes sending a message.

I won't tell

Leo smiled and nodded.

Thanks his eyes spoke and Raph nodded before they returned to their jobs. Leo was nearly done when a wet towel was flicked at his neck.

"Huh?" he looked around to see Raph washing the dishes looking innocent as he whistled. Leo could see that there was wet towel next to him and he smiled.

Leo grabbed his own towel and dipped it in the water. He pretended to help wash up, before flicking his tea towel at Raph. He cracked up at the look of astonishment before he packed the last cup up. Raph shook his head. Leo smiled and stuck his tongue and Raph copied.

"See ya Raph. Can you get someone to wake me up when its time?" Leo asked. Raph nodded and wiped the bench.

Leo smiled as he walked away. He walked to his room and fell on his bed into a dreamless slepp

That is, until someone woke him up.

"Leo?" Leo looked up and saw Donnie.

"It's time! We got your coat so we can leave now if you want. "

Leo nodded and grabbed his coat from Don's hand. They walked out of Leo's bedroom and towards the lair exit. Raph and Mikey were chatting excitedly. Raph looked up and smiled.

"Ready guys?" They all nodded.

"Then let's go" they shrugged their coats on ran out of the sewers and into the city. They walked around with Don leading the way. It took 10 minutes until they arrived at a Gymnasium of a school where Casey told them to meet.

He was waiting out the front and Raph grabbed his hand.

"Guys! You came! I thought you were gonna bail on me!" He said smirking. He led them inside and they where soon they were soon engulfed by music, teenagers and a party atmosphere.

"Welcome to a party my friends!" he said smiling. "Now go have fun." He grabbed their coats off them and shoved them into the crowd.

Whoohoo! I'll try to add in another chapter soon!
