Chapter 9: Couch Talk/ Flashback

Spencer and Raph were sitting on the couch facing each other their backs to the arm rests, every one else had gone back to sleep after Splinter had told his sons about going to Spencer's apartment tomorrow and she'd introduced herself to Don.

"I'm scared." She admitted

"Of what?" Raph asked

"Of going back to my place, of the memories, it's the last place I saw him."

"It's okay Spence, I'll be there with you the whole time."

"But you won't be able to protect me forever."

"No, but I can try."

Spencer took one of Raph's hands in hers.

"What if he gets to me too?"

"Who?"

"Who ever killed my brother, what if he kills me too?"

"He won't Spencer, I won't ever let that happen."

"Raph, don't make promises you can't keep."

"I'm not." Raph looked Spencer dead in her eyes, "I'm not. As long as you need or want me here that's where I'll be."

"I might want you around for awhile."

"I might want that too."

"Raph, why do you act so tough?"

"What'd you mean?"

"You're always fighting with Leo and you don't really speak that much to your family, at least not in full sentences, but when it's just you and me you're different."

"I guess it's just…it's so much…I feel like I can be myself with you, I've never felt like that before and I just wanna hold on to that for as long as I possibly can."

"Aw, Raph, ya old softy." Spencer squeezed Raph's hand and smiled, but her happy expression quickly faded once she once Raph's depressed look. "Hey what's wrong?"

She entangled her fingers in his and turned her head to the side trying to read his mind; failing.

"Raphael?" She asked, "Please talk to me."

"I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

"About this, you and me and when this is over with how you aren't gunna need me anymore."

"Hey what'd I tell you before? What I need doesn't matter it's what I want that counts."

"But what if don't want me anymore either?"

"Hey let's just take this one step at a time, don't think about tomorrow focus on right here and now."

"And right here and now?"

"All my focus is on you." Spencer lifted the hand that was holding Raph's and gently kissed the tip of one of his fingers. Raph's face broke and he finally smiled.

"Spencer, we kissed."

"I know, I was there remember?"

"So what does that mean?"

"It means, well, we kissed, it is what it is."

"But where do we stand?"

"Well, I guess we're together."

Raph smile widened, he felt it again; that feeling he had when he realized how Spencer made him fell: Accepted.

Flashback…

"Raph, stop it!" Baya yelled as a glass vase shattered against the wall behind her and the man standing at her side.

"Don't you dare tell me what to do!" He said than flipped over her coffee table.

"Don't you yell at her, freak!"

"Shut the fuck up! I wasn't talking to you!" Raph growled, "You stupid bitch, did you think I wouldn't find out?!"

"Hey…"

"I said shut up I wasn't talking to you! Who are you?"

"Antony, I'm…"

"Antony, great, shut the hell up Antony! I'm talking to Baya right now!"

"Raph, don't make this any harder than it has to be." Baya rolled her eyes

"I'm not making it any harder than you already have, Baya!"

"Oh, stop acting like you're a damn victim, cause you're not, you're a freak of nature!" Antony flexed his arms trying to look buff.

"Oh quit acting like you have any balls, you sad little man, you're lucky I haven't kicked your ass to a bloody pulp!" Raph's hands subconsciously went to his sais.

"Raph, it's over move on!" Baya whined

"Baya, you're pathetic! I hope you and your, whatever he is to you, are happy together!" Raph turned on his heels only to come face to face with Antony, "Get outta my way!"

"No!"

"Fine!" Without warning Raph's fist connected with Antony's cheekbone.

"Oh my God!" Baya shrieked, but Raph didn't look back he simply stepped around Antony, who'd fallen to the ground, and left. That was the last time he'd seen his ex-girlfriend or her new guy.

End Flashback…

"You okay?" Spencer asked, " you look distracted."

"Sorry Spencer, I'm just thinking, 'bout the past."

"Is it as good as the present?"

"Nothing could possibly ever be as good as it is right now." Raph took both of Spencer's hands and pulled her on top of him so she was now lying comfortably on his chest. He kissed the top of her head. "Nothing at all could ever be as prefect as it is it is at this moment."

Okay so R&R and I might put up a new chapter tomorrow cause this 5 days thing seems to make people mad and nobody wants that right?
