Willow ran her fingers back and forth over Leonardo's forearm as the candles Splinter had lit started to burn out. Willow was just able to make out his soft, sleeping face from the low glow of the room. After her shower she rushed back to his side, leaving her bloodied wedding dress on the floor beside Felicia's maid of honor dress. They'd burn them as soon as they got the chance.
This whole thing had been a disaster and she couldn't help but feel as though she was the one to blame for it. Of course she had to blame herself for it. It was her wedding, she wanted it. She didn't tell them all to do what they did with the serum but, having the wedding itself was basically a calling card to have Karai come and get them like sitting ducks. Also, how could Donnie not be curious enough to tamper with their DNA when he knew that Leonardo was going to propose and knows Willow as well as he does? She was an idiot to believe that nothing would have happened. That their wedding day should have been a happy, beautiful one. Ridiculous.
But, she went along with it because Leonardo went along with it. None of the brothers seem scared or nervous at all while planning the wedding, even the night before. Not until they had reason to be. She should have just listened to Raph. It was just a stupid party, with people she barely knew giving her and Leo money and not even her Leo either, just a version of himself. But, they were all happy to do it for her, because it was what she wanted.
She was disgusted with herself. She should had just left it at them all having a small get together in the lair, a traditional Japanese style wedding with their close family and friends. That's what she originally wanted, so why did all this hype and common standards of society have to come into play? When did she even start caring about that kind of thing? I mean for God sakes, she was married to a mutant ninja turtle!
She sighed, shaking her head to herself as she put her forehead down on his arm that laid against his bedding. He hadn't moved much since Donnie and Mikey put him on the bed. He twitched now and again and a grimace would form on his face then even out but, that was all.
"Idiot." She said softly to herself at her inner ramblings. She should have just listened to Raph...
Feeling Leonardo's arm twitch underneath her she moved back, looking quickly up at his face as his eyes fluttered for a moment before opening. He groaned softly, trying to move his body from laying in the same position for so long.
"Leo?"
"Willow." He groaned, trying to sit up in bed as his eyes focused on her face. She quickly sat up, positioning the pillows behind him and putting her arm out for him if he needed it. He grimaced, leaning up as slowly as he could before giving her a small smile. "Hi." He said softly as she smiled back.
"Are you feeling OK?" She said, looking over at the tea Splinter had set for him when he woke. She poured some, it still steaming from the kettle as she handed him over the cup. He took a slow sip and a deep breath enjoying the calming, warm flavor.
"Better now that I know you're here. Who's an idiot?" He asked groggily as she shook her head.
"Doesn't matter." She said kissing his hand as he looked over at her from his comfortable position on his pillows, resting his cup on his chest plate.
"It always matters if you think you're the idiot." He said, eying her carefully as she looked up at him and then down quickly at her hands.
"How do you know I was talking about myself." She shrugged as he sighed.
"Willow... Really?" He said through a soft chuckle, grimacing as his side moved. He put his hand to it and hissed in pain as she pulled back the covers for him.
"It looks a lot better than it was." She said looking up at him with a forced smile. He shook his head, putting the covers back up over the cauterized and bandaged wound.
"Why are you an idiot?" He asked again, sipping his tea.
"This was all my fault. You, Felicia... I shouldn't of done this, we should have just had a small wedding here with the guys and my friends and my mom and dad. We shouldn't have had this big, stupid, extravagant wedding that ended in this." She said gesturing towards him as he waited for her to be finished.
"I am married to you now." He said slowly, putting his free hand on her chin to lift her eyes to his. "I am so grateful for that, you think a little stab wound is going to deter me from thinking that this wasn't one of the best days of my existence? Because it was."
"But, with everything that happened Tiger, I mean... Felicia and..."
"Felicia is safe, I know Raph is taking care of her."
"OK but, what about..."
"What about nothing. Willow, I am so proud to be your husband and that we got to share it with all our family and friends. I am so grateful that last night didn't get nearly as bad as it could have and I am hopeful that in the future we will have more days like it." Willow could feel tears start to prickle in her sore, tired and swollen eyes. Leonardo being awake and saying these beautiful words, reassuring her that she wasn't an idiot for having this wedding, that he actually did in fact want it like she did made her heart swell.
"You honestly mean that?" She asked, sniffing and wiping away tears that escaped her glossed over eyes. Leonardo reached to the apple of her cheek, rubbing some away with his thumb.
"I've never meant anything more true, other than how much I love you." He said as she shook her head, putting it down onto his arm.
"What did Donnie put in that IV? Sweet talking serum?" She asked, muffled through the fabric of his bedding. He chuckled lightly, grimacing at the movement. "Let me go see if he's up." She said getting from his chair as Leo took her hand, sitting her back down.
"Don't bother him, they've all been through enough and had a long day." He said as she nodded, cementing his words with a yawn. "Have you slept?"
"Here and there?" She shrugged as he sighed disapprovingly, moving over in his large bed to make room. "I'm not sleeping with you Leo, not with your side the way it is."
"Shut up and get in bed." He said, moving the covers down exposing the soft looking sheets. She looked at them longingly, feeling her sore eyes get heavy as she thought about how it would feel to lay down after sitting hunched over for hours. "Bed." He demanded, as she looked up at him rolling her eyes.
"Just because you're my husband doesn't mean you can boss my around."
"So, why could I when I was your boyfriend? Or fiance?" He asked with a smile as she glared up at him, sliding into the warm sheets. She sighed as her body laid against the soft mattress. "I love you my wife." He said, leaning over to her and kissing her lips softly. She reached up making it easier for him to reach and not over extend his body, kissing him back.
"I love you husband." She said with a smile against his lips. "We're married." She giggled softly as he nodded, kissing her cheek.
"I wish we could make it official." He sighed, kissing the side of her neck as she let her eyes flutter close to the feeling.
"How do you mean?" She smirked as he pulled back to look at her eyes with a raised eye ridge.
"How do you think?" He asked back as she kissed his lips again.
"We will..." She smiled. "Let's get some rest first."
Felicia woke up with a long groan, trying to move onto her back as she laid in Raphael's large bed. In a huff, she moved herself slowly onto her back looking up at the cement, familiar ceiling. Putting her hand to the side of her face with the large gash she noticed her eye was nearly swollen shut. The skin along her cheek was extremely sore as she pressed her fingers into it as much as she could without wincing.
"Feelin' good today huh?" Raph asked from the doorway as Felicia looked over at him, feeling tears well in her good eye.
"How hideous do I look?" She asked, putting her hand back on her face.
"What?" He asked confused, hearing the desperation in her voice as she tried to sit up. She hissed in pain, shaking her head at herself for not even being able to move on her own as new tears started to form. He moved to her side, helping her sit up and placing a pillow behind her back as she looked down at her hands on her lap. "What's wrong?" He said, absolutely confused. "What hurts?"
"Everything..." She sniffed, shaking her head again, looking up at him and then quickly down again. "I can't believe I did that last night, no wonder you didn't want to touch me I must look like a monster with my face like this... I'm so sorry that..."
"Felicia, are ya kiddin' me?" He asked, putting his hand on the side of her face without the abrasion. "You're beautiful." He smiled softly as she sniffed putting her hands to her face and sliding down the headboard.
"You don't have lie to me Raph, I know I must look disgusting." She mumbled from behind her hands as Raph sighed, taking her hands and placing them back on her lap, holding them in his own.
"You're always beautiful to me." He said after a long sigh, trying to figure out a way to say it without sounding like a complete jackass. "I-I'm not...Good at..." He shrugged. "Just believe me OK?" He asked, as she looked up at him, trying to smile. "It's not that bad, the cut I mean." He said motioning towards her face. "It's just swollen, I can get ya somethin' for that." He said about to get up as she gripped tighter onto his large hands.
"Wait..." Felicia said, putting her lip between her teeth, feeling the broken sore flesh with her tongue. "Are we... OK?" She said softly as he looked at her confused, relaxing back where he was.
"What's that mean?" He asked as she took a deep breath, letting it out slowly, trying not to start crying on him again.
"I-I mean, us... As...Boyfriend and girlfriend... Are we... Together again?" She asked completely uncertain as Raphael smiled a little, leaning down to her forehead and kissing it gently.
"What do you want?" He asked, looking down at her as she shrugged.
"You. I've always just wanted you, Raph." She said softly as he smiled a little bigger now, kissing her lips as softly as he could.
"I want you too Fee... And ya know... I love ya." He shrugged as she smiled, looking up at him.
"Really?" She asked as he nodded his head. "I love you too Raph."
"Good." He said, getting up from beside her on the bed and kissing the top of her head. "Lemme go get you some coffee and somethin' to eat." He said as she nodded. "Ya hungry? Mikey made breakfast."
"Maybe somethin' small? Toast?" She asked with a grimace as he smiled with a nod, kissing her head again.
"Anythin' ya want babe. I'll be right back." He watched her snuggle back against his pillows as he left the room, leaning heavily on the door as he closed it.
He had been up since she woke him the night before. She fell back asleep easily, moaning softly in pain whenever she moved. He felt horrible, he knew how she was feeling all too well. Not being able to get comfortable because of all the pain striking through her body. He wanted to take it all away, make her feel better after the day she must have had. After the couple of days he knew she did have.
He left her to sleep, leaving his room to give her as much space as she needed in his medium sized bed. He just couldn't stand to see her toss and turn in pain anymore. Going down the hallway to check in on Leonardo he saw that his oldest brother was fast asleep with Willow by his side, giving him as much space as she could. He smirked to himself as he walked down the darken stairs to the Dojo as the lair was covered in silence. He knew he'd be regretting this in the morning but, he couldn't get his mind to rest especially with Felicia by his side in the state that she was.
Not only was he able to finally say he loved someone again, but she was bruised and beaten in his bed by a woman who tormented his family for years. A woman who not twelve hours ago he killed. He hadn't killed someone in years. They were usually thugs or rapists, people who deserved it but not someone who played such a large roll in his and his brother's lives for so long. Since they were kids.
He walked into the large Dojo, flicking on the light as the room illuminated in the bright florescent. He walked over to the large punching bag, pushing it with his hand and looking around the open space with bamboo flooring before hearing a soft knock in the doorway.
"Hey..." Willow said softly, as Raph turned around putting his arms over his chest and giving her head a nod.
"Ya were sleepin'." He said confused as she shrugged.
"Not really. I can't get comfortable knowing he's..." She sighed as Raph nodded.
"I know whacha mean."
"How are you doing?" She asked, walking into the Dojo as Raph shrugged, going over to the wall of their old weapons running his fingers along his sais used as a teenager.
"Not good." He sighed as she nodded, sitting down on the broken leather workbench. She had a pair of Leonardo's boxers and a large black shirt over her from his human clothes, pulling her arms through the sleeves of the shirt and wrapping them around her chest to keep from the cool air.
"I figured that." She yawned. "Wanna talk 'bout it?" She asked as he shook his head, turning towards hers and leaning against the wall.
"No." He said gruffly as she nodded.
"Figured that too." She said with a small smile.
"You?"
"I what?"
"You wanna talk 'bout it?" He asked with a shrug as she sighed and shrugged too.
"This was all my fault."
"How?" He asked walking over to her as she sighed and shook her head.
"I don't know Raph, it was my idea to have the stupid fuckin' wedding. I should have just listened to you."
"Listened to me 'bout what?" He asked, sitting next to her on the bench as she put her head down, peeling at the broken leather.
"How it was just a stupid party. It was." She shrugged as Raph snorted a laugh.
"It was, but you wanted it and Leo wanted..."
"No he didn't. He did it because I wanted it. He would have been happy with anything just as long as we were married. He didn't even want or know if he wanted to marry me before I put the stupid idea in his head. 'are you gonna ever ask me to marry you?'." She said in a mocking tone. "I'm sucha fuckin' idiot." She sighed shaking her head as Raph smirked a little.
"He wanted to marry you, idiot." Raph said as she looked up at him. "He was just tryin' to figure out how he would be able to. If Donnie didn't make that serum he'd be freakin' out that he couldn't give ya the weddin' ya wanted n' probably would have taken him twice as long to ask ya. Because of Donnie's serum he could do what he wanted, which was to ask ya to marry him." Raph said shaking his head. "You are an idiot." Willow chuckled a little nudging his shoulder with hers.
"So, you don't blame me for all this, for Felicia?"
"No, I blame Karai." He shrugged as Willow sighed.
"Yeah... Do you think it's really over?"
"Probably... Maybe not. I dun really know." He said softly, getting up from the bench as Willow watched him start to pace. "If it isn't we'll handle it." He sighed, putting his hands over his face and giving it a hard rub. "I don't even know if I want it to be ova? Am I just so used to lookin' over our shoulders all the time, that not havin' her around is gonna throw me off completely? All of us. I mean, we'll always be lookin' over our shoulders for trouble, especially with all ya girls with us. But, is there really gonna come a time that we won't need to anymore?" He sighed again, shaking his head at his ramblings.
"I hope so." Willow said softly as Raph looked at her. "I hope it's over so you guys can be free." She sighed as Raph looked at her confused for a moment.
"We would be free, wouldn't we." He said as he chuckled a little, shaking his head. "We'd be fuckin' free. Holy shit." He said laughing a little as Willow furrowed her brow, starting to laugh from his being contagious.
Now, as he chuckled and pushed himself off his door leaving Felicia snuggling back in his bed and waiting for him to return with food, he walked down the cement stairs to the kitchen. He shook his head with a smile watching Mikey and Riley both making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Mornin' bro. Pancakes?" Mikey asked as Riley hummed a song to herself, dancing around the small kitchen as she mixed more pancake mix.
"You two seem happy?" Raph asked as he went over to the freezer, staring into for a moment.
"Whacha lookin' for red?" Riley asked, hopping over to him as he noticed she had one ear bud in her ear and an ipod in her pocket.
"We have bread for toast?"
"Not feelin' the pancakes man? You know I make 'em good." Mikey said, waving the large plate in front of Raph as he rolled his eyes.
"No numb nuts, Felicia isn't feelin' too well." He said as Mikey's face dropped and he nodded.
"Right." He said, putting the plate on the table. Riley sighed, going over to her large bag and pulling out a bottle of pills.
"Give her two of these and a glass of apple juice. The sugar will help her stomach if she feels nauseous. Toast is good, I'll make her some. If she feels up for it I can make her a cup of coffee, that'll help with the caffeine head ache later on." Riley said as Raph nodded, looking at her a little confused. "I used to take care of my mom a lot before she bailed on me and my dad." She shrugged, rummaging through her bag. "You should take an ice pack too and put it on her face." She said, going into the freezer and taking out a loaf of bread and a couple of ice packs. She went over to Mikey, grabbing a couple of paper towels and wrapping the ice packs in it. "She feels like shit huh?"
"She asked me if I thought she looked hideous." He sighed as Riley smirked to herself.
"Her face looks pretty bad. You didn't tell her that did you?" She asked, glaring at him as Raph shook his head. "Good. She's beautiful and nothing else." She said pointing a finger at him as he rolled his eyes.
"I know that."
"Do you?" Riley asked, going over to the toaster and putting some bread into it.
"Of course I do."
"So, you two are back together?" She asked as Raph sighed, looking over at his little brother who gave a questioning look.
"Yes." He said as Mikey smiled.
"Good." Mikey said as Riley nodded.
"Yeah, now just next time don't over react and walk out on her for some stupid reason." Riley said point blank as Raph furrowed his brow.
"How do you even know what happened?" Raph asked, starting to get a little irritated as Riley rolled her eyes.
"She's my best friend. I know everything dude. Eve-ry-thing." She said looking up at him as Raph rolled his eyes and put everything Felicia needed on a tray.
"Great." He said, as Riley buttered the toast lightly and put it on a plate, on the tray. He started for the stairs as Mikey kissed Riley on the side of the head.
"You tell them everything about me too?" He asked as Riley chuckled.
"Pretty much." She shrugged.
"All...Good things?" He asked as Riley chuckled.
"Of course Mikey."
"Well, good morning Mr. and Mrs. Hamato." Michelangelo said as he entered Leonardo's room. He and Riley both had their hands full, his with a tray of food and hers with a cup of coffee and a cup of tea.
Willow opened her eyes slowly, looking up at her bright eyed best friend and brother in law. Pushing her wild hair from her face she sat up in bed, looking over at Leo who was already sitting up and awake in bed.
"Morning sleepy head." He smiled as she glared at him, reaching out for her cup of coffee. Riley handed it to her, eying her wild hair state.
"Have fun last night?" She chuckled as Willow looked over at her friend.
"You did toss and turn a lot last night." Leo said, looking over at her worried. She shrugged, taking a sip of the warm bitter liquid.
"Bad dreams." She sighed.
"I hear that." Riley said with a sigh of her own as she looked over at Mikey.
"How are ya feelin' bro?" He asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Better. I can..." He stopped for a moment, gritting his teeth as he reached up above his head with the arm attached to the side that was injured. "Do that." He sighed, putting his arm back down, rotating his shoulder. "So, that's a plus."
"Don't do too much too soon." Willow said as he smiled and kissed her forehead. She sighed, looking over at Riley who sipped her down coffee. "That means, 'oh Willow, you're so silly and no nothing about ninja business'." She said as Riley chuckled, looking over at Leo who shook his head.
"No, that means I love you." He said happily, doing it again as Willow jerked away from him.
"I love you too."
"You guys are gross." Riley said as Mikey snorted into his glass. "Enjoy your eggs ala Michelangelo."
"Does that mean they have bacon in them?" Willow asked, grabbing the tray that was at the bottom of the bed.
"What else would it mean?" Mikey asked insulted as Willow smiled, digging into her plate of eggs and putting Leo's on his lap.
"We really didn't need to be served in bed." Leo sighed as Willow looked up at him confused.
"We didn't?" She asked as Riley chuckled.
"Of course you did, it's your honeymoon... Kinda? So, we wanted to help you guys make the most of it." Mikey said with a shrug as Willow awed, crunching into her toast.
"They love us." She said looking over at Leo who brushed crumbs from her side off the edge of the bed. She rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry Mr. OCD I'll make sure I didn't get any crumbs in the bed."
"I'll send Donnie up in a few." Mikey said with a chuckle as he and Riley left his brother's room.
"Are you upset that we didn't exactly have a honeymoon as of yet?" Leonardo asked shyly, taking a sip of his tea. She looked up at him confused as she took another bite of her eggs.
"Of course not, I am just happy that you're all alive and safe." She said shaking her head. "We'll have a honeymoon soon enough." She shrugged as he smirked at her.
"If we could go anywhere where would you wanna go?" He ask, tilting his head towards her as she finished off her food.
"Um..." She said, chewing her food in thought. "Italy? Maybe London?" She shrugged, as he smiled. "Japan I'm sure for you."
"Nah, not really." He said, taking a bite of his own eggs.
"Really?" She asked surprised, putting the tray aside onto the seat she had been in the night before.
"Well, I mean the culture in itself is beautiful but, it's like a seventeen hour flight." He sighed, as Willow chuckled.
"This coming from the guy with complete self control and utter patience?" She asked as he rolled his eyes.
"I never said I have any of that."
"No, your body just exudes it." She said stretching out of the word as Leonardo chuckled a little kissing her cheek.
"Knock, knock." Donnie said as he entered Leonardo's room. "How ya doing?" He asked, walking over to Leo's side as Willow got from the bed, taking her tray.
"I'll let Doctor Don get started." She smiled as Donnie looked at Leonardo's bandaged side. "I love you."
"Love you too." Leo and Don said at the same time as Donnie chuckled a little. "Sorry, I couldn't help it." He shrugged as Leo rolled his eyes.
"So, how's it look?"
"Like you got stabbed." Donnie sighed as Leo arched an eye ridge at him. "I didn't sleep very much last night." He shrugged as Leo nodded. "How'd you sleep?"
"As well as I could." He shrugged, wincing a little to the movement. "How's Betty?" He asked as Donnie sighed, pulling a chair over towards the bed.
"We're OK. I got freaked a little last night and thought that if I broke it off with her it would be saving her from getting hurt again... But, she pretty much told me I was an idiot." He smiled, pulling back the bandage and setting out a fresh new one on Leo's night stand.
"Well, that was pretty stupid." Leo nodded as Donnie sighed.
"I don't want her to get hurt."
"Well, thanks to Raph you might not have to worry about that anymore." Leo said as Donnie nodded. "H-How is he?" He asked as Donnie sighed.
"He was wondering around last night, I heard him get up and watch him go into the dojo. I thought he needed something for Felicia, I wasn't really sleeping either worried that someone was going to need something." He sighed as Leo nodded.
"We're all fine little brother, you should go get some sleep." Leo smiled as Donnie nodded.
"I will... Lemme just finish this." He said as Leo sighed shaking his head.
"I feel like an idiot." Felicia grumbled as she placed the ice pack to her face.
"You wanna feel stupid or have one eye?" Raph asked, laying down beside her on his bed.
"What are we gonna watch anyways, not that I'll be able to see anything." She grumbled looking longingly at her glasses on Raph's side table.
"You don't like being cared for do ya?" He asked as she looked over at him, glaring with her good eye.
"I don't think this waiting on me hand and foot is necessary."
"Yeah, but I'm doin' it, so get ova it." He said with a shrug, turning on his large TV. "We're gonna watch somethin' mindless so you don't hafta see much. How 'bout that?" He asked as she sighed, and moved closer to him on the bed. He put his arm carefully around her as she laid her head on his shoulder.
"Does it look bad?" She asked again for the hundredth time as Raph sighed, rolling his eyes.
"No, you look beautiful." He said kissing her forehead as she now rolled hers.
"You're sucha liar, I know I look like shit."
"Then why you askin' me?" He chuckled as she sighed.
"So, I do look like shit?" She asked as he put a hand over his face.
"Ya know, I was wrong I think we should break up." He said getting from the bed as Felicia grabbed his arm, slapping it as hard as she could.
"Don't even joke like that, jerk." She grumbled with a pout as Raph laughed, kissing her good cheek.
"Then stop with this askin' stupid questions. You're beautiful, you're safe and with me that's all I care 'bout." He said putting his arm back around her shoulders and tugging her gently to his side.
"Thank you baby." She said kissing his shoulder that her head laid against.
"Yeah, yeah just watch or listen to the damn movie." He chuckled as she sighed, adjusting the ice pack to her face.
"We're gonna go venture and see what's going on." Mikey said as he and Riley knocked softly on Leonardo's door where Donnie was changing his bandages once again.
"I would rather you wait for me." Leo sighed as Donnie nodded.
"Betty needs to get some things from her dorm, so at least wait for us." Donnie said as Leonardo sighed.
"That's not exactly what I meant Don. I wanna go so I know you guys are safe." He said, looking at his two younger brothers.
"We'll be fine." Mikey shrugged. "I was thinkin' I'd change into a human, put my chucks in a jacket just in case.
"And, you need to rest a little more before you even begin to consider moving from this bed." Donnie said as Willow nodded, sitting next to Leo.
"He's right Tiger, you can barely sit up straight. It's hasn't even been a full seventy two hours yet. You need to wait at least a week before you can start trying to do anything over strenuous.
"If you can keep him away from it for a week." Donnie grumbled.
"I am fine." Leo shrugged as Willow and Donnie both sighed.
"Then lift your arm." Donnie shrugged as Leonardo started to move his good arm as Donnie shook his head. "Nice try Fearless. Your other arm." Leonardo sighed, putting his hand to the bandaged side and started to lift his arm. He could feel his muscles stretch and his body nearly refuse the action as he groaned and put his arm back down. "Exactly. You're not going anywhere. Mikey and I will be humans, we'll watch the girls. We need to see what's going on up there." Don said with a shrug as Willow nodded.
"Maybe I'll come too. See what Casey and April are up to." Willow shrugged as Leo shook his head.
"No, you will wait for me." He said as Willow sighed.
"Tiger, I need more clothes. I love you but, I can't keep wearing Casey's hand me downs. I feel like I'm sixteen again and not in a good way." She said, putting her arms out with the oversized sleeves covered well beyond her hands.
"Tell me about it." Riley grumbled behind Mikey as she wore one of his plain t-shirts. "At least yours don't smell like Hayden." She said as Willow chuckled.
"Riley can get you more clothes." Leo said looking towards the platinum blonde. "She's going back to your place anyways, Mikey will be with her... I need you here where I can see you." He said a little softer, only to her. She smiled, leaning forward and kissing his lips softly.
"Fine." She sighed, rolling her eyes. "But, bring back pizza!" She said, looking towards Mikey as he scoffed.
"Because I would bring back anything else? Have we met before?" He asked Willow extending his hand as Willow chuckled slapping it away.
"Whatever ass hat. You, don't pick out your kind of clothing. I want my clothes." Willow said as Riley looked at her offended.
"What's that mean?"
"You know exactly what it means! No see through shirts, no fishnets, nothing that would give me terrible early two thousands flash backs." She said pointing a finger towards her best friend as Riley chuckled.
"Jeans and t-shirts. I know plain Jane, anything else?"
"Undies." She shrugged as Donnie and Mikey sighed. "What? I need underwear!" She said as Donnie started to leave.
"On that note, I'll go get Betty."
"Anything for the honeymoon?" Riley winked as Leo shook his head, relaxing back against the headboard.
"No, he can't do anything with me anyways until he feel better and I am not gonna torment him like you would Mikey."
"I am right here." Leo said with a heavy sigh as Willow smiled and kissing his cheek.
"She doesn't torment me. I'm not injured and even if I was I'd enjoy the show." Mikey shrugged as Riley giggled a little to him putting his arm around her side.
"Adorable." Willow said with a blank expression. "Just go get my clothes and food, please."
"Yes your majesty." Riley said, waving her hand with a bow as Mikey chuckled following her out of Leonardo's room.
"They'll be fine." Willow said after a moment as Leo kept his eyes on the closed door.
"I hope so..." He sighed, putting his head back and closing his eyes as Willow moved closer to his side, kissing his naked shoulder.
"So, I think you're gonna like this." Donnie said happily as Mikey and Riley stood in the lab, Betty moving back and forth in one of Donnie's lab chairs.
"What's that brainiac?" Mikey asked, looking over his brother's shoulder as he pulled out a tray with little white squares along it. "What are those."
"These, Mikey are serum patches." Donnie said with a large smile. "I've been working on them since we've been kinda stuck down here and Betty actually gave me the idea."
"Well, it wasn't an idea per say." Betty shrugged as Donnie waved her off.
"It was brilliant. She was talking about her friend who smoked for years and is now on those nicotine patches, well that got me thinking. If they can create a patch that has a slow releasing chemical compound then why can't I? So, I did. These are actually a lot better than the serum which, as you know we would have to keep injecting ourselves with, right? Now, these little beauties release the serum slowly through out blood stream so we can stay human longer and actually once we take them off we'll turn back into ourselves." Donnie said with a large smile as Mikey nodded approvingly.
"Wow dude, that's amazing. Good job Betty." He said smiling towards Donnie's better half as she rolled her eyes.
"I did nothing but talk about a friend with a bad habit." She shrugged as Donnie kissed the top of her head.
"Brilliant." He said as she rolled her eyes with a smile. "Do you mind, again being my guinea pig?" Donnie asked Mikey as she shrugged.
"Why not." He said, taking one of the white patches and placing it on his upper bicep. "How long does it take to work?" He asked, as Donnie shrugged.
"Not sure, possibly a few seconds maybe more."
"Maybe I should go?" Betty asked as everyone looked at her for a moment.
"Why?" Donnie asked as Betty grimaced.
"Well, I am sure you and Riley and possibly Mikey don't want me to see him naked?" She asked as Donnie's eyes widened and he nodded his head quickly.
"That's true! Um, Mikey go to your room I'll come check on you in a few." He said as Mikey chuckled with a nod, dashing out of the room and up the cement stairs to his bedroom.
"I'll go make sure everything transforms correctly." Riley smiled as Donnie rolled his eyes.
"Yeah you do that." Betty chuckled. "You gonna try it too?" She asked as Donnie nodded. "We should go to your room then." She said with a smirk as he nodded slowly. "I haven't seen you..." He shook his head slowly again as she smiled. "Do you want me to wait down here?"
"No." He said, his leg starting to bounce up and down.
"Don't be nervous Don, it's just me."
"I know that, but we haven't... Had..."
"Sex."
"Yeah." He shrugged. "And, this would technically be my first time, if we ever did have..."
"Sex." Betty finished for him again as he nodded his head silently. "Don, do you want to?"
"Of course I do." He said, looking at her confused as she smiled and got from the computer chair. She leaned her body close to his, kissing his lips softly.
"Tell ya what..." She said, her voice low, making a shiver crawl it's way up his spine. "I'll wait down here while you get situated in your room. Then, once we figure out what's going on top side we'll take a little longer getting back from Willow's than Riley and Mikey do. My dorm is closer to here so, I don't think it would be kind to make Riley and Mikey wait outside for us to... Finish. They can go get pizza and we can stay at Willow's and... Relax." She smiled, letting her fingers drag slowly over his large green bicep. "Of course, I want this patch off when we take our little detour." She said as he nodded his head, swallowing hard.
She smirked to his reaction, leaning up on her toes to catch his mouth in a kiss. Slowly sliding her tongue through his parting lips she pressed her body tight to his, as tight as she could get to him. He put his hands around her back, gripping the fabric of one of his t-shirts that she had worn to bed the night before. Just his t-shirt. He watched as she crawled into his bed, exposing her perfect, milky thighs that he had dreamed about for months now. He was only centimeters from them and he was too scared to do anything but run off for a cold shower.
"S-S-So you want to... Tonight?" He stammered as they broke away from the kiss. She smiled, nodding her head. "I-If your not ready, we don't have to." He shrugged as she giggled shaking her head.
"Donnie, I know we don't have to. I want too, I want you." She said, whispering against his mouth as his knees nearly buckles. "Just like this too... No human, just you." She said, looking up into his widening hazel eyes. He nodded his head, words completely escaping him. "Good. Now, take a patch and go get changed so we can get this first part over and done with." She smiled as he nodded his head again, looking over at the patches and putting one on.
"These things are amazing dude, you're a genius." Mikey said, looking down at his human arm with a little white patch peeking out from under his t-shirt. The four stood in the kitchen of the liar as Raphael looked over his brother's human forms, his feet kicked up on the table with Willow next to him both taking swigs from their beers.
"I hope ya have fun." Raph grumbled as Willow sighed.
"You could come with us?" Donnie suggested as Raph snorted, shaking his head.
"I have to watch over Felicia and this one." He said thumbing next to him. Willow arch an eyebrow at him, taking another long pull of her beer.
"Yeah, it's me you hafta watch out for." She said shaking her head. "Be careful out there."
"Yes mum." Riley said, rolling her eyes.
"We should be back before mid-night." Donnie said, looking over at Betty as she smiled and nodded.
"It's only eight." Riley said confused, taking out her cell phone and looking at the time. "It shouldn't take us that long to get clothes and pizza."
"We're not gonna get pizza." Betty said, looking over at her friend as Riley and Willow both looked at her completely confused.
"I don't think you two should split up." Willow said shaking her head as Betty sighed heavily, giving her friend a pointed look.
"I need to look for something at your place." She said flicking her eyes over to Donnie. Riley shrugged and shook her head, looking at Willow for confirmation who just looked equally as confused. Betty sighed, letting go of Donnie's hand and taking Riley's. "We'll be right back." She said, grabbing Willow's hand as well, pulling her quickly up from the chair as she lead the two down the alcove to the dojo. "Donnie and I are gonna have sex tonight so, you and Mikey should go get the pizza...Alone." She said in a rough whisper as Willow and Riley's eyes both widened.
"Ohhhh..." Riley chuckled. "Yeah, you look for that something. You look for it good."
"I thought you two had already..." Willow asked as Betty shook her head.
"No, we have done... Other things... Mostly above the waist." She shrugged with a sigh. "Every time I would try something he always just holds my hands and kisses them or, leans back from me if we get too hot and heavy. I can't tell if it's me or him..." She said sadly, looking down at her shoes.
"It's him." Willow and Riley say at the same time. They both look at each other with smiles.
"So you have blue balls like whoa right now." Riley chuckled as Betty smirked a little.
"You don't even know! I try and wear the most skimpiest things to bed, like last night I wore just this shirt. Nothing else, literally and he gets up and goes to take a shower. Like I didn't know what he was doing? At least he has his hand..." She sighed, crossing her arms over her chest.
"He's just nervous, scared..." Willow shrugged. "It's gonna be his first time. No girl, at least none that I've seen has ever gotten intimate with him." Willow said as Betty nodded.
"I know but, it's me."
"Which is why it's that much more important to him." Willow said with a smile as Betty sighed, nodded her head.
"You're right. I should go slow with him tonight?"
"Yes. As hard as it may be," Willow chuckled. "Go at his pace." She said as Riley nodded, putting her arm around her young friend's shoulders as they started to walk back into the kitchen.
"What are you doing out of bed?" Willow asked as she noticed Leonardo slowly making his way down the stairs.
"I need to get up Will, I can't lay down any longer." He sighed, leaning heavily on the railing. Raphael got up and pulled out a chair for him as Leo shook his head to it. "No, I need to just be vertical for a minuet." He sighed as Raph nodded, putting his feet on the chair. "You four better be careful."
"Yeah, Willow already gave us the speech." Mikey sighed.
"Good. If we don't hear from you or see you come back before midnight, I'll come looking for you. I don't exactly feel like climbing a manhole cover so, if I find you, you are not going to like it." He said with a glare at the four as Riley and Betty both shifted nervously under his glare.
"Well... Donnie and Betty might be awhile. But, you two if you're not back we'll come and find you." Willow said pointing a finger as Riley nodded and Mikey looked at them both confused.
"Why do they get to stay out?" He asked as Betty rolled her eyes, and Donnie's face turned a bright pink.
"Because..." Willow and Riley said at the same time.
"Ho-ly shit. You're finally gettin' laid tonight, aren't ya?" Raph asked pointing towards his geeky brother as Donnie put his reddening face down and Betty rolled her.
"None of your business Raphael." Betty said with a glare as Raph chuckled, getting up from his seat to grab another beer.
"Sure, sure..." He said, holding his hands up in defense. He nudged his brother's human shoulder with his own giving him a wink. "You kids have fun." He said as Donnie groaned as Betty smirked a little.
"We'll be back in two hours, three tops." Mikey said, giving Willow a kiss on the cheek as Raph and her both took their seats at the table.
"Yeah, and don't bother givin' Donnie too much time. I'm sure it won't last long." Raph said with a laugh as Willow slapped him hard on the arm. "Ow!"
"Stop being an asshole." She hissed at him as he held his arms out. "Just please remember no later than twelve." Willow said in a pleading tone towards the four as Riley and Mikey nodded.
"I'll put a timer on my phone." Riley said taking it out of her pocket. "Wait, why don't I just call you guys? Check in?" She asked.
"That's kinda my fault..." Donnie said raising his hand. "I put a block on all our phones and the main line. They wouldn't be able to receive them until I take it off." Donnie said with a shrug as Riley nodded her head.
"So, take it off."
"Not until we're aware that everything is fine top side." Leo said, wincing as he tried to stretch his arm over his head.
"Not too much." Willow hissed at him as he sighed and put his arms down.
"I was stretching." He shrugged as Willow rolled his eyes, looking back towards the four about to leave. "Don't you two get distracted like they will." Leo said, nodding his head towards Donnie and Betty as he pointed at Mikey and Riley.
"We won't. We've had sex plenty since we've been down here." Riley shrugged as everyone groaned. "Right, right touchy subject." She chuckled as Willow threw a beer cap towards her. "Love you!" She called out as her and Mikey made their way up the cement stairs towards the exit.
"We'll keep an eye on them." Donnie shrugged as Leo arched an eye ridge at his younger brother.
"Just no later than one." He said pointing a finger at Donnie as he nodded. "Be careful." He added as they started to catch up to the others.
"So, we're the only ones not getting' any? How does that seem fair?" Raph sighed as the lairs brick door closed behind the foursome, looking up at Leo who leaned heavily over the back of a chair. Willow pouted at him, kissing Leonardo's arm.
"We've went longer." She shrugged as Leo rolled his eyes.
"Have a dry spell did ya, fearless?" Raph chuckled as Leo ignored him, going into the cabinet for some tea.
"No, it was me not him." Willow shrugged, taking a sip of her beer.
"Oh yeah, what happened?"
"You really wanna know?" She chuckled as Raph shrugged.
"Be more entertainin' than the crap they get on TV lately."
"We're not discussing our sex lives with you." Leo said, putting the tea pot on the oven burner.
"It's ya lack of a sex life and I wun'ent talkin' to you." Raph said with a laugh as Leo sighed, looking over at Willow who shrugged. "I'm a big boy I can handle it."
"It's nothing big." Willow shrugged. "Remember when I was sick for that like month? That's all. I didn't want to get him sick and basically slept on the couch because that's as far as my body would let me go." Willow laughed as Raph rolled his eyes.
"That was cheap."
"Well, tell me somethin' about you and Fee." She shrugged as Leo sighed, sitting down slowly in a chair next to Willow.
"Do we really need to do this?" He asked as Willow chuckled.
"You can go back to ya room Fearless." Raph said as he sighed, sitting back in his chair. "Well, I don't know 'bout him but, I think I may be a little more adventurous in the sack."
"Says who?" Willow chuckled as Raph shrugged.
"Just an assumption of knowin' my brother for twenty seven years."
"Well you assumed wrong." Leo said shaking his head. Willow smiled with a shrug.
"I still wanna hear this."
"Well, I don't." Leo said, getting from his chair. "I'm going to check on father, see if he's doing OK." Leo said as Raph nodded, looking back towards their father's room.
"I checked on him a couple hours ago, he was meditatin', didn't say much." Raph shrugged as Leo nodded, headed towards the room.
"Anyways! Mr. Adventurous, tell me!" Willow said, leaning in towards the middle of the table. Raph chuckled shaking his head.
"Nah, it's stupid. Leo's right." He shrugged as Willow's mouth dropped open.
"Not fair! I told you my thing!"
"And it was lame." He shrugged as Willow sat back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest.
"You ever do it doggy?" She asked with a shrug as Raph looked at her with an arched eye ridge slowly taking a sip of his beer. He thought for a moment before nodding his head. Willow smirked. "With Felicia?" She clarified as Raph rolled his eyes.
"Of course with Felicia."
"Wow, didn't think she had that in her." Willow mused as Raph snorted a laugh.
"You know nothin' of the inner freak ya best friend holds." Raph laughed as Willow's mouth dropped again.
"She never tells me anything!"
"Well gee, I have no idea why she wouldn't?" Raph said sarcastically, shaking his head.
