Leonardo slammed Willow's body against her hallway wall as a small noise came from the back of her throat. His hands moved along her soft skin at her sides, lifting her shirt as she went with a smirk up and over her head. His body pressed tightly against her own as she felt every curve of his perfect chiseled chest mash against hers.
"I hate…" She panted against his lips. "This." She finished as he smirked and moved his lips from hers, kissing along her jaw bone, down her neck nipping the sensitive skin between his full perfect lips.
"Seems it." He murmured as she growled at him, grabbing a fist full of his hair at the back of his neck and turned so his body was slammed against the wall. She didn't have to fight him for long before he let his body move harshly where she wanted him. He looked down at her, trying to fight back a smile from the scowl on her face and flush of her skin from her excitement.
"You shouldn't have to do this!" She said narrowed her eyes on his as she growled once again, moving her lips hard to his and shoving her tongue into his mouth. She felt his large, skillful hands move down the curves of her body, snaking around the small of her back. His hands graced the back of her thighs once softly before he lifted her from the floor by gripping the thick skin on the back of her thighs. She wrapped her legs around his waist, thrusting her body closer to his own.
"I had to go out and look for a building with Donnie today." He shrugged as her lips moved down his tanned neck kissing his strong, beautiful jaw. "It's the only way I can. I have to work everyday love, you'll see me like this a lot. Not that I mind if this is the welcome I get." He chuckled as she growled louder biting against his sensitive skin. "Ow." He pulled back.
"You shouldn't have to hide yourself!"
"But, we don't live in that world Will." He groaned setting her feet down on the floor, running a hand over his dirty blond hair to the back of his neck. "Willow, this isn't a problem for me. I know you love me as I am. I know either way that we're meant to be together, no matter what happens. You can stop trying to prove it to me. Just be happy for us." He said as she sighed and nodded.
"It's just…" She sighed once more running her fingers through her long curly hair. "I just feel like…Ah, I don't know. I feel wrong."
"Well don't." He said, his voice turning stern as her sad eyes looked up into his from under her lashes. Still the same golden brown they always were. The same ones that made her knees weak and heart stop. She sighed out of happiness this time and leaned up to his perfect lips. "If you're going to marry me like this and keep things a secret than I don't want you freaking out on me at the alter." He said as she chuckled nodding her head. "You'll get used to it this way." He shrugged a bit as she nodded once more.
"You're right, per usual." She said rolling her eyes as he chuckled. "Speaking of marriage." She smirked taking his hand into hers as he automatically laced their fingers together. She looked down at their hands and smiled, before meeting his gaze again. "April gave me some homework. Want to help me study?" She asked with a playful grin before tugging his arm to follow her into the living room.
"I suppose I don't have a choice?" He asked as they sat on the couch and she turned towards him in a pout.
"You don't have to help, I just wanted to see what you thought and what you might like, you don't have to if-." He placed a finger over her lips before leaning to place a soft kiss on them.
"Not what I meant. I was talking about the situation we had ourselves in earlier…" He said nodding his head towards the hallway and she giggled.
"Oh that. Don't worry Tiger." She smirked patting his thigh as he grasped her hand tightly in his own and tugged her with his strength as she fell over his lap. She laughed as his hands gripped her waist and picked her body up to straddle over his lap.
"Were you just patronizing me?" He asked tickling her sides as she leaned forward, hanging her head on his strong shoulder as she giggled and tired to grab his fast hands.
"N-No." She laughed out. "I-I meant, ah God! Stop!" She said leaning back up, fighting back laughter as his hands moved down to her thighs and knees. She fell back on the couch as he followed bracing one hand for his weight on the back of the couch as the other still moved quickly over her sensitive, ticklish areas.
"You meant what?" He asked in amusement as she still laughed.
"Leo, please. I meant, that we'll get to it soon, I-I just…Stop!" She cried again as his hand stopped on her stomach. She sighed wiping away tears from the corner of her eyes and narrowed them up at him. "You're an ass. I was going to suggest that after I showed you these that we do something along the lines of what happened in the hallway. However, now I'm not so sure." She said as he sat up and pulled him with her, settling her on the cushion beside him.
"Alright you have my attention." He said putting his hands on his lap and looking over at her as she smirked and rolled her eyes.
"You're lucky I love you so much."
"Believe me I'm well aware." He whispered softly leaning over to her and kissing the side of her neck softly. She sighed and closed her eyes for a moment before pushing him back.
"Stop distracting me." She said scooting closer to the edge of the couch and spreading out the magazines and books April had given her.
He finally noticed the coffee table covered in books and magazines with 'Bride' and 'Wedding' plastered over the covers. Pinks and whites, flowers and cakes, wedding dresses and braids maids. He furrowed his brow looking over them slowly before sitting closer to her.
"Don't um, don't the men usually have no say?" He asked in a grimace, opening a magazine and closing it quickly.
"I know Ninjas don't have a lot of experience in this field…" She chuckled. "However, neither do I. So, I was thinking since it's our wedding perhaps we should pick things out together." She smiled sweetly over at him as his pursed lips loosened into a easy expression. He tilted his head examining on of the pictures as she smiled and moved closer to him. "I liked that one too."
"You did?" He smiled over at her as she nodded enthusiastically. "Good. So, we're on the right track then?"
"Seems it." She chuckled once more as he leaned in and kissed her rounded cheek.
Felicia rolled over on her back, feeling her shoulder protest to the movement. She groaned softly, and yawned, taking in the scent of her room. Furrowing her brow she opened her eyes slowly looking up at old bricks.
She sat up in a bed, red sheets and bedding and a snowy television in front of her. She felt the bed move at her side as she turned her head. A large scarred shell greeted her as a soft snore left the turtle beside her. She smiled for a moment.
"Raph." She said softly. No response. "Raph." She said a little louder, nudging his large green shoulder, feeling the taunt leather skin. "Raph." She said louder, using her full voice as he stirred.
"Wha?" He grumbled, rolling onto his shell as Felicia moved to let him lay down.
"We fell asleep." She smiled as he rubbed his amber eyes.
"Yeah… I guess so." He said, his voice husky from sleep. He sat up and looked over at her as she bit her lips nervously fixing her thick rimmed glasses.
"So uh, if you want I can sleep on the couch or…"
"No, no. I can uh, take you home if ya-"
"No! Uh," She cleared her throat and smiled. "No, I like it, um, here." She shrugged as he looked at her for a moment reading her expression. She shrugged again. "I was comfortable."
"You were?" He asked in disbelief as she shrugged again and nodded. "I'll go down stairs." He said grabbing his pillow as he latched her hands onto his large bicep.
"No, um, that's not what I meant." He looked down at her hands around his green skin as she watched his eyes, looking down at her own hands. She unwrapped them slowly and placed them back over her lap.
"So you want me to stay here?" He asked furrowing his brow as she looked up at him slowly, watching his dark amber eyes dance over hers. Her heart pounded heavily in her chest. She felt dizzy, and like she couldn't concentrate on anything but those eyes.
Just say something, anything. Say 'yes, please for the love of all that is Holy do not leave me alone in this bed. And also, could you stop completely and utterly controlling my emotions with your eyes because it really starting to affect my moods and my excruciatingly, hyper aware hormones.' Yeah, that'll go over well genius.
He's just looking at you, you have to say something! Speak! This can't be anymore difficult than with any other guy. Which makes it even more difficult because this isn't any other guy. It's Raph, fuckin' Raph! I don't understand why he asked to take me home… Oh God. Maybe he doesn't want to stay with me? Maybe he had a horrible time tonight! Oh, no. That's it. He is trying to get rid of me.
She rolled her eyes at herself, bringing them away from his as he sat back down on the edge of his bed.
"I-I um, I don't have to stay if you don't want me to." She stammered out as he smirked waving his hand to move her over. She furrowed her brow, but followed his instructions as he smirked and laid back in his pervious position.
"I want you, to feel comfortable." She said softly and slowly. She was now completely aware of her mouth going dry. She cleared her throat softly as he arched an eye ridge, watching her expressions. "I had um, fun…" She said trying to regain her voice back, looking down at her hands that twisted nervously in her lap. Raph tilted his head from where he was lying down and looked over at her, a smile slowly coming across his wide mouth. "It was nice." She shrugged. He snorted and pulled her by the shoulder down on the bed. She chuckled lightly laying back down on the pillow that he laid out for her.
"I had fun too." He said closing his eyes, his arms bent behind his head. She looked over at him for a moment and back up at the ceiling as smiled up at it.
Donatello walked into a electronic store with a wide smile on his face. Michelangelo and Hayden close as his heels with the same smile scanning the room quickly. They had left the lair that afternoon, Mikey calling Hayden to join them so Donnie didn't 'make his brain hurt with all his geek talk'. Raphael was still asleep with his door closed and surpassingly locked when Donnie went to go ask him if he would like to join as well.
Donnie moved quickly out of the way as Mikey's eyes lit up to the large display of the a Wii system in the back and nudged Hayden with his elbow.
"Let us know when you're done gettin' off to your new toys Don." Hayden called out over his shoulder as he and Mikey chuckled, making their way to the video games. Donnie shook his head with red going to his lightly stubble cheeks, scanning the store quickly to make sure no one over heard the crude comment.
Shaking his head once more with a light sigh, he turned down an isle of computer parts. He looked up and down the isle for what he needed, solely concentrating on finding it with his eyes furiously scanning the racks in front of him. He kept his hands in his dark, baggy jean pockets and light gray shirt on with a zipper down argyle sweater over it, that Willow had given him that morning. She was it was going to get chilly out and made sure both brother's had something warm to wear. Mikey settled for a black long sleeve thermal shirt.
Moving along the isle as his eyes still scanning for what he was intent on finding, he felt someone bump into his side. He himself stumbled back a little before regaining his balance and turned quickly, catching the person, their footing just as unsteadied and helped them right themselves back on their feet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't…" He stopped a smile washed over his features as the petite red head lifted her wide green eyes to his soft hazel ones. "Are you ok?" He asked softly as her already flushed face, covered in a dusting over her nose of lightly brown almost orange freckles turned even more blotchy red as her eyes slowly scanned over his large chest, seeing the defined muscles under his opened sweater and gray shirt
"Y-yeah…" She cleared her throat, composing herself as she flipped her beautiful curly auburn hair over her shoulder. He took in a slow breath of it and smiled to himself. "It was my fault, I was enamored with technology." She chuckled as he smiled wider.
"It does have a rather substantial intensity all its own." He chuckled back.
"I'm Izzy." She stated, extending her arm that once laid on his shoulder, wishing to put it back and feel the movement of his muscles as he shook her hand. Instead she let her eyes flicker to the tight shirt and smirked once more, before returning to his depthless hazel eyes.
"Donnie." He said shaking her soft, warm hand as her eyes widened and her smile faltered.
"D-Donnie…" She stammered out as he chuckled again nodding his head. "Jesus…" She breathed out, taking a step back from him and looking over his body fully. He felt a slight heat rush to his cheeks again as her beautiful green eyes ranked up and down his newly formed body. "That stuff really works huh?"
"Yeah it-"
"Izzy!" Mikey called out as he and Hayden made their way down the isle.
"Mikey." She chuckled, shifting the items in her hand to the other as she gave the younger brother a hug. She stood back letting her eyes slowly do the same to the blonde as Donnie narrowed his eyes. "Outing with the boys?" She questioned, turning back towards Donnie as he removed his angered expression for a forced smile and slight shrug.
"Something like that. I needed to get something for my computer and they both decided they needed to come along. My conclusion was to bug the ever living out of me. So far, my thesis is correct." He said crossing his arms over his chest as Hayden sipped his soda loudly through his straw.
"Ya know man, when you talk all dorky and smart like that, totally makes me wet." Hayden stated with a straight face as he stuck the straw into his mouth again. Mikey snorted in laughter as Donnie shook his head in a sigh.
"See." He said gesturing towards the two as Izzy chuckled lightly.
"They are charming." Izzy said dryly as Hayden rolled his eyes and ran his free hand over the her red hair.
"You're just upset you can't get with his." He said, running his fingers through his moppy, dirty blonde head. Izzy snorted in laughed as Donnie shook his head.
"Idiots." She said as Mikey and Hayden chuckled moving down another isle of video games. "So uh, how are you feeling? Are they're any um…" She lowered her voice to a whisper leaning in as Donnie did as well, letting his shoulders hunch as his hands stayed inside his jean pockets. "side effects?" Donnie chuckled shaking his head.
"No, nothing we've come across. Including all the um, relations that Willow and Leo have um," He cleared his throat softly. "been doing, that's mostly what I was afraid of." He shrugged and she saw that his face was tinted slightly pink. She smirked watching his eyes go anywhere but her own.
"The adrenaline of it." She stated as his hazel eyes finally shifted back to her own. He smirked for a moment before nodding his head. "Well, that would be a good way to test it." She chuckled as his cheeks flushed all over again.
"So, what brings you here?" He asked after a moment of silence as she smirked.
"I actually came to look at the stereo systems for a possible DJ."
"DJ?"
"For the Wedding. Willow was set on having one and only playing the songs she picked out. Which, we were all planning on doing tonight."
"You were going to buy a new system?" Donnie asked a little shocked as Izzy chuckled.
"Rent maybe. I just wanted to see the set up really. Some of these DJ's with their turn tables and 'scratching' doesn't exactly seem too classy. Tyler was actually considering after his ushering duties to take the honors of being her DJ. He did it for school parties in high school, shouldn't be any different." Izzy shrugged. "And, he knows her music."
"She is trusting Tyler with such a daunting task?" Donnie chuckled as Izzy smirked.
"Well, I am actually. It's just music and considering Willow's taste in it, you can't really mess it up. She likes pretty much everything." She shrugged as Donnie chuckled once more.
"That's true."
"So, you're going out tonight?" She asked softly, stepping a bit closer as Donnie nodded, his hands still kept in his pants pockets as he straightened himself out to her body moving closer. "Well, keep this city safe. And, um, be careful." She said patting his shoulder.
"Will do." He said as she passed him with a smile. He let out a small breath as he watched her walk to the front of the store. "Man…" He sighed to himself as Mikey slung a long, lean arm across his brother's shoulders.
"Are ya done geekin' out Don? I'm starving." He said as Donnie rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, some of us do have lives other than our computer girlfriends." Hayden added as Donnie narrowed his eyes on the younger boy as Hayden took a step back. "Sorry man." He said softly as Donnie sighed shaking his head.
"Yeah I'm done." He said picking up a part he had been eyeing for awhile and walking towards the front of the store. "Mike, you know anything about what's going on for tonight?"
"Patrol, nine o'clock sharp." He responded in a mock of Leonardo's command that he received earlier that morning. "And don't be late Michelangelo." He added as Donnie rolled his eyes.
"What about the girls?" Don asked moving up a spot in line as Mikey smirked.
"They're having a Wedding night." He shrugged. "Will is supposed to pick out a design she likes for her dress, cake, all that crap."
"Maybe, before we head home for the night we should check on them?"
"Don't we always?" Mikey asked as he pushed his video games with his brother's purchase winking at the sales girl at the register. She smiled, trying hold back a giggle as Mikey leaned back on the counter. "Have I ever mentioned you're a genius?" He asked his older brother as Donnie shook his head with an eye roll again, paying the girl and shoving his brother's bag hard onto his chest.
"Raph, you really didn't need to walk me home." Felicia said as she opened her apartment door. He smirked with a small shrug.
"Well, since we slept the day away, I thought would be nice of me to walk you home." He said leaning his forearm against the door frame of her apartment. She chuckled lightly and opened the door, holding it for him.
"Because you're such the gentlemen." She said sarcastically as he shrugged out of his leather jacket placing it on the back of one of her set of bar stools. She leaned against her kitchen island counter, tucking her arms under her chest.
"I do try really hard." He shrugged arching a dark eyebrow as she chuckled and rolled her eyes.
"You wanna beer or something?"
"Nah, Leo'll kill me if he finds out I hada drink before patrol."
"Water then?" She asked holding out a bottle of water as he smirked and took it from her small hands. His fingers brushed against her soft ones and she caught his dark amber eyes as his smile widened.
"So you girls plannin' the whole sin-dig tonight?" He asked leaning his elbow on the counter as she shrugged.
"At least the music. April and Izzy are pretty much doing everything else." She shrugged as Raph nodded.
"And Will is alright with that?"
"Well, I don't really think she had a choice." Felicia chuckled. "April and Izzy believe that Willow isn't capable of her own happiness, apparently. I think that her wedding, planned her way would be pretty…" She shrugged. "However, arguing with those two is like talking to a brick wall."
"I'm surprised Willow isn't puttin' up more ofa fight." Raph chuckled as Felicia shrugged again.
"She's really nervous. She's kinda happy that she doesn't have to do that much." Felicia said as she twisted her bottle cap on the counter, leaning against it. Raph looked at her as her face slowly fell in their conversation.
"What 'bout you?" Raph asked nodding his head towards her as she lifted her head back up to his amber eyes, his brow furrowed in concern.
"What about me?" She asked tilting her head, forcing a small smile. Raph shook his head with a snort.
"You've been her best friend since like what, you two were in diapers right? You got no say?"
"I wasn't asked." She shrugged, her head falling once more as her fingers continued to roll around the bottle cap.
"That's bullshit." Raph said as Felicia snapped her head back up.
"What?"
"You're the best friend, right? You should have more say than Izzy, especially April." He said rolling his eyes. "Tell 'em you want some input. You know her better."
"Well, I mean I guess I could…" She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Just say what ya think is best." He shrugged as she lifted her eyes from under her lashes slowly back to his.
"Alright." She smirked. He slapped his hand down on the counter.
"Good." He said with a nod and crooked smile. "I have to get goin'. Don't forget what I told ya." He said pointing his finger at her as she smirked, lifting her hand to her forehead for a salute.
"I-I captain." She chuckled.
"I'll see ya 'round." He said grabbing his jacket and tossing it over his shoulders, and his arms through.
"You'll see me around…" She said softly and then stood up quickly. "Uh, I mean, um, why? I mean, um…When?" She sighed and he chuckled lightly.
"We're gonna stop by Will's later." He said heading for the door as she nodded and opened it for him.
"Oh." She said looking down at her feet as she shifted her weight. "Ok, so um, later then." She looked back up at him as he nodded with the same smug smile and headed for the hallway.
"Later."
"Are you kiddin' me? We're not listening to 'Wind Beneath my Wings' at my wedding!" Willow said as Riley laughed on the couch next to her.
"It's a beautiful song." Izzy fought as she held out the CD. April chuckled, holding her wine glass to her lips before sipping.
"It's an absolute horrendous song with no symbolic meaning to Leo and myself, whatsoever!" Willow said again snatching the CD from Izzy's hands and tossing it over her shoulder.
"Hey!" Izzy said standing up to retrieve her CD.
"I still think that you guys should dance to 'I'll Be'. That's a pretty song with a strong meaning." April shrugged as Riley rolled her eyes and Willow sighed with a shrug.
"I don't know, still doesn't fit."
"What about 'All Around Me' by Flyleaf?" Felicia said as Izzy snorted in her wine glass, shaking her head quickly as she swallowed.
"No, she's not dancing to a punk song as her first song." She said as Willow looked towards Felicia with a smile.
"That." Willow said shaking her finger at her best friend. "That is perfect. That's our song!" She said clapping her hands together. "Ah man, let's play it!" Willow said setting her wine glass down and jumping off the couch for the stereo.
"It's a good choice. And it's not punk." Riley said in the same tone of disgust the Izzy had used. "It's actually really pretty. The singing has a beautiful voice, and its not punk, it's more metal than anything." She shrugged as Izzy rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." She grumbled taking another sip of wine.
"I played this for Leo before." Willow smiled. "He liked it, actually." She shrugged with a small giggled as she made her way back to the couch. "It fits us almost perfectly, the lyrics, ah. It's perfect!" She said with a small smile and clap of her hands as Felicia smiled back. Riley rolled her eyes again.
"You two are adorable."
"What is up your ass grumpy smurf? You've been moppin' around here all day!" Willow scowled crossing her arms. Riley shook her head taking a sip of her rum and coke. She said that she needed something stronger than wine.
"Nothing." She shrugged as Willow sighed.
"Fine."
"It's your day or whatever, I don't wanna ruin it." She said with another shrug as Willow rolled her eyes this time.
"Its far from my day and if there is something bothering you the Wedding can wait."
"No it can't!" Izzy said looking at the two as Willow threw her arm out, palm up to hush her friend.
"I broke up with Billy."
"Good." Izzy said taking a sip of her wine as Willow snapped her a glare towards the red head. She shrugged. "What? He was an ass."
"He was troubled." Willow corrected as Riley snorted.
"Yeah, troubled. He accused me of cheating on him with Mikey and called me a whore…" She shrugged again. "Whatever it doesn't matter. I told him I was done after that anyways. He doesn't even know me. Spent most of his time with his precious weed and video games anyways." She grumbled sipping her drink.
"You don't deserve someone like that. You deserve so much better." Willow said softly, patting her friends knee as Riley sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah. The great guy is out there for me right? I get that. But, what happens when I don't see it or, I push him away, or…" She sighed again. "I get scared and…and, do something really stupid." She said letting her head fall as Willow smirked.
"You'll just know not to, and if you do something stupid or get scared then he's not the right guy." She shrugged as Riley lifted her eyes back to her friends.
"It's true honey. I thought that I'd never settle for someone like Casey. Loud and outspoken, knuckle head that obsessed with sports…" April said with a grimace that turned into a soft smile. "And when I met him, I thought he was an idiot, baboons ass with no sense of decency or had a gentlemanly bone in his body. But, I couldn't stop thinking about him. And that first kiss I knew, I couldn't be without him." She smiled wider as Willow did as well. "You'll know." She shrugged.
"You will." Willow agreed as Riley sighed letting herself relax a little with a small smile. "What about Mikey?" She suggested slyly as Riley's head snapped up with wide blue eyes.
"What?"
"Mikey, you two are like inseparable lately." She pointed out as Riley chuckled shaking her head.
"No, it's not like that. Mikey, he's it's different. There is no way…" She sighed softly. "It's different." She shrugged as Izzy and Willow snorted nodding their heads.
"Sure it is." Willow said with a smile as Riley sighed, rolling her eyes.
"So anyways," Izzy said clapping her hands. "What about this?" She asked Willow shoving a Wedding magazine from across the coffee table in front of her. Willow tilted her head looking at the long fitting, silk dress. She pursed her lips and shook her head looking up at her friend.
"No, I want Cinderella puffy, not…"
"That's elegant."
"I have way too much thigh and hip to move in that thing." She pointed out turning the page. "Next!" She said as April chuckled.
"Ok," The older woman said putting her wine down. "What about cake?"
"Red velvet!" Willow said at once as Felicia laughed.
"That's a groom's cake." Izzy said making a face as Riley laughed now.
"So, there is going to be a groom there isn't there?" Willow asked with an arched brow as Izzy rolled her eyes with a sigh.
"Do you want me to help or not?" She asked as Felicia snorted. "What?" She asked wiping her head towards her chocolate brown-haired friend.
"Nothing, it's just…" She bit her lip and shrugged a shoulder. "She seems to be doing good on her own with out you acting like Attila the Hun and bossing her around."
"Ooo…." Riley said getting up from the couch and going into the kitchen to get another drink.
"No, no! It's not what I meant!" Felicia protested shaking her hands in front of her as Willow smirked.
"What did you mean exactly?" Izzy snapped as Willow rolled her eyes and slapped her hand down on the coffee table.
"Hey! She's right, you're worse than a Nazi right now. Calm yourself. And it's not just you doing this, and helping me. All of you are. I want everyone's opinion." She smiled as Izzy huffed and got up to get another glass of wine.
"What do you want to play after your guy's song?" Riley asked sliding down the back of the couch into the cushions as Willow smirked.
"'Decode'."
"Oh lord! What is wrong with you?" Izzy groaned from the kitchen as Riley and Felicia chuckled.
"What? It's a good song?" Willow shrugged as Riley and Felicia laughed louder.
"Are you sure Edward got your invitation?" Riley asked in between laughter as Willow shook her head, grabbing a pillow and chucking it at her.
"Shut up! I just like Paramore. I have a lot more of their songs I want to play. Like, 'My Heart' for one. That's a good song. The next time Leo and I dance we'll play that one. Oh and 'The Way You Look Tonight' by Frank Sinatra! And, 'Your Song' by Mayday Parade. Oh, and, and 'My Everything' by New Found Glory!" She said bouncing on the floor, flipping through her large CD case as April chuckled and Izzy groaned.
"Hey what time is it?" Felicia asked as Riley furrowed her brow, leaning her head back on the arm of the couch and looking at the clock on the wall.
"Almost one, why?" She asked looking back at her friend as Felicia shrugged.
"Just, um, wondering."
"The guys should be back soon." Willow pointed out as April nodded.
"Unless something came up." She shrugged as Felicia and Willow both looked at her with concern.
"Came up, how?" Willow asked as April smirked.
"Nothing they can't handle." She assured her as Willow sighed nodding her head.
"Right, right. If Leo heard me doubting him again… No, you're right, nothing would happen." She said, forcing a small smile when a soft rap came from the window. Willow jumped to her feet quickly sliding open the heavy window in an instant.
She threw her arms around the first one standing in front of her tugging their body into hers. They place a large arm around her back, patting it softly as she sighed and leaned back.
"Are you alright?" She asked and then furrowed her brow. "Hi Raph…" She said pushing him aside as he shook his head and went inside.
"I'm fine, thanks for askin'." He said as Willow latched herself to the one she first intended on. Leo smiled, pressing his face into the side of her hair and taking in a breath of it, in the cold night air.
"Are you alright?" She asked softly as he chuckled, picking his head up and nodding for his brothers to head inside. They smiled sliding in through the window as Leo pulled Willow from himself and looked at her.
"Are you?" He chuckled as she shook her head with a smile.
"Yeah, I mean April said that something could be holding you up and I got worried and I know that you can handle yourselves and everything that still doesn't mean I can't worry about you, I have that right, to worry. You can't make me not, especially when the Wedding is coming and Donnie said he was almost finished with getting his license and teaching Splinter the right ceremony and…" Leonardo leaned forward, pressing his lips against hers as she clenched her eyes shut, tugging his body closer to hers, gripping her fingers into his strong, green biceps.
He pulled back slowly, running his hand along her cheek and pressing back her hair that flew into her face from the wind.
"I'm fine." He said looking into her eyes as she nodded. "We're all fine, nothing happened." He smiled. "It was actually a slow night."
"But, they won't all be slow." She said softly, her head falling as he caught it by her chin with his large finger, turning it back up to his.
"No, but that doesn't mean we won't be prepared." He said as she nodded again. "You trust me?"
"Always."
"Then know that Will, I wouldn't lie to you. We'll take care of anything, I know that." He said as she nodded once more, leaning her body on his chest plate and hugging him to her tightly. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled nuzzling her face up to the nape of his neck.
"C'mon, Mikey's probably blowing a gasket that you hugged Raph and not him." He said as Willow chuckled, turning back towards the window.
Raphael ducked into Willow and Riley's apartment window, hearing the soft murmurs of Willow asking if his older brother was alright. With a roll of the eye he let them fall on the dark hair brunette that sat on the floor, her legs hidden under the coffee table, her soft brown eyes went to his. Her short choppy hair in pigtails against her neck and her deep red, cat eyed glasses perched on her petite nose, and a small smile on her soft, full pink lips. A smile of his own went over his face before he pushed it down and walked into the kitchen with a shake of the head, going into the fridge.
Felicia looked up as the first turtle went through the window and a blush went to her cheeks as Raphael's bright amber eyes met hers. She looked down for a moment and back towards him as she noticed a smile falling from his wide mouth as he headed for the kitchen.
She got up without another word as Riley faded out of her conversation with her and Isabella that she must have been in the middle of, following the small brunette with her eyes. Felicia wasn't exactly listening anyways.
"Weird." Riley said looking back towards Izzy with a furrowed brow as the red head smiled.
"Not so much." She pointed as Felicia made her way to the small kitchen.
Felicia leaned against the doorway and he turned towards her, flickering a smile on his mouth before turning back towards the fridge and holding out a beer for her. She took it with a smile taking a step towards him, as he brought one towards her.
"Hey." She said softly, twisting the cap off as he nodded his head once.
"Hey."
"Good night?"
"Borin'." He shrugged as she nodded, looking down at her opened bottle, chewing on her bottom lip. "So you do what I told ya?" He asked as she smirked nodding her head, her face still facing the bottle as he smiled and took another step towards her. "Really? Wha'da say?"
"I said that Willow was doing fine on her own and that Izz was acting like Attila the Hun." She shrugged as Raph chuckled.
"Nice."
"Willow agreed with me." She shrugged again. "Izzy pouted about it, but got over it." She chuckled. "In the long run, Willow's wedding is about her and Leo and will be beautiful either way." She smiled with another small shrug as Raph smile back.
"So, you stayin' here tonight?" He asked after a moment of their feet shifting back and forth. She looked up at him with a small smile with a one shoulder shrug.
"Uh, well, I don't know…" She said furrowed her brow as it faded into slight worry. "Why?"
"Do I need'ta walk ya home lata?" He asked as she smirked.
"Did you want to?" She asked softly as he snorted with a smile.
"Are you stayin' here?"
"I might." She shrugged.
"Yes or no Leesh." He said plainly as she chuckled and looked up at him.
"You can walk me home." She nodded as he smiled heading back into the living room. She watched him walk away, biting her bottom lip with a smile.
