Ch.7 Introducing Michelangelo; Taunting Girls
It has been about a month since Raph and Leo started going out. They dated for a few weeks before they decided to make it official. So now, Leo's happy to say he has a boyfriend. He never thought he would be dating again because of Ricky, but here he is now with his boyfriend dropping him and April off at school which was very sweet of him.
"Here ya'll go. It's been forever since I've been ta school, let alone see one." Raph said as he leaned back in his driver's seat taking in the view of his boyfriend's school.
"Wow Raphie! You actually went to school? Did you even graduate?" April asked in a snickering voice.
"Haha…Very funny red. Fer yer information I have graduated school. Now get outta my truck, I would like to spend time with my boyfriend before he goes." Raph said looking at Leo which made him blush.
April just giggled at him and left the truck giving Leo a little smirk.
Leo just shook his head at his sister and he looked at his boyfriend with a smile on his face.
"I never heard her call you that before. Everything okay Raphie?" Leo asked with a little smile teasing his boyfriend.
Raph just smirked and brought his head closer to Leo's which made Leo move backwards toward the passenger door.
"How about you and I go out on a date. Been a while since we went on our last one. How about it babe?" Raph asked with a smirk as he saw Leo blushed at him.
"Uh…that sounds nice Raph. Where were you thinking about going? I picked last time, so it's your turn."
"Hmm…How about the movies? I heard some pretty cool movies are coming out. And after the movies we can grab somethin' ta eat. Sound good?"
"Yeah that sounds great. I haven't been to the movies in a while so it should be nice. When do you want to go?"
"Hmm…how 'bout tonight if ya don't got that much stuff ta do."
"Sure Raph. Maybe I won't have much homework to do from school. They've been pretty light on the homework area thank goodness. Are you still going to pick me up from school?"
"Yeah, and Donnie's gonna pick April up if that's cool of course."
"Oh yeah that's fine, I don't really mind. Oh! I better go Raph before the bell rings."
Leo was about to open the door but Raph grabbed his shoulder which made Leo turn around to look at Raph.
Leo thought Raph was going to kiss him. They've been dating for a month now and they still haven't kissed. Sure Raph kissed him on the forehead, cheek, and hand but not on the lips. One time they got pretty close to kissing at Leo's house while they were waiting for Donnie and April to get home. They've been sitting on the couch watching TV and Raph was just about to kiss Leo when April and Donnie walked in. Safe to say that Raph was pretty pissed off.
Raph noticed Leo's look and smiled at him and kissed his forehead.
"I want our first kiss…ta be perfect…" Raph whispered making Leo blush and smile at him.
Raph just smiled and kissed Leo's head, eyes, and nose.
"Raph stop that! I'm going to be blood red when I leave and everybody will be wondering what I was doing." Leo said with a smile but was still embarrassed.
Raph just smiled at him and grabbed his hand to kiss it.
"I'll see ya after school babe." Raph said with a wink when Leo got out and headed inside the school.
Leo got to his locker expecting a normal day but all of a sudden some of his female classmates came up to him, which is weird because they never talked to him before.
"Can I help you ladies?" Leo asked politely.
"Uh, yeah! Who was that hunk of a man…or turtle that dropped you off?!" One girl nearly yelled. Leo thought her name was Tiffany but wasn't sure if he was right or not.
"Oh uh…that was…t-that was my b-boyfriend…w-why?" Leo asked hoping they leave him alone.
But knowing his luck that wasn't going to happen.
"WHAT?! Why is that hunky man with you when he could be with one of us gorgeous girls?" Another girl said. Brenda was her name Leo believed.
Leo sighed at this. He couldn't stand when someone thought they were better than the next person and these girls were the perfect example to it. Leo didn't care what they thought. Raph asked him out so he doesn't care.
"Because he asked me out and I said yes. Look if you guys came over here to make jokes about he's better off with one of you, or I don't belong with him, I don't want to hear it. We're in the 12th grade girls. Grow up." Leo said with a serious look on his face and he made his way toward class hoping the girls got the picture.
With Raph:
Raph made his way to his apartment room. All he wanted to do was relax until he can see Leo again. The Foot has lowered their attacks which brings a relief to Raph's mind. Donnie is pretty happy as well. Donnie and April weren't too happy about him coming with them on their date. Heck if it was them doing that to him and Leo, he would be pissed off as well.
It's only been a month but Raph feels like he known Leo forever. He knows that sounds cheesy as hell but it was the truth.
Raph was about to take a nap when he heard a knock on his door, but he decided to ignore it thinking it was just a door to door salesman.
"YO! Raphie! Open up dude!" The voice yelled which made Raph annoyed and happy when he recognized that annoying voice.
Raph grumbled when he got up to open the door. He opened the door and he was right about the recognize voice.
"Ay there Mikey. What'cha doing here? Shouldn't ya be in…cooking class or whatever?" Raph said wondering what Mikey was doing here.
"Oh c'mon bro! You know ya missed the old Mikester!" Mikey said with a big smile on his face that could like up a room.
Raph just crossed his arms as he leaned on the door frame with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, gotta love having the old Mikester here. Is everythin' cool? Nothin's wrong right?"
"Oh there's nothing wrong bro. My girlfriend and I decided to move back here. I was offered a job to cook for some restaurant so I thought we move back here where my bro's are. Calla agreed with me so…here I am." Mikey said with a huge smile on his face.
Raph just smiled and gave his friend a noogie like he did when they were kids.
"OW! Not the head! Not the head! DUDE! You know how long it took to make my head this shiny! It takes a while for a good looking turtle like myself to wax this head!" Mikey yelled making Raph laugh.
"Oh man! Yeah, ya haven't changed a bit. Anythin' new goin' on?"
"Nah bro. Just that me and Calla are moving back, getting a new job. What 'bout you? Ya still with that chick…uh…what was her name…Jasmine was it. She was pretty hot."
"Pfft! That bitch's my past. The only reason she was with me was cause I'm the leader of my gang. I left her ass a long time ago…" Raph said as he leaned back on the couch with his hands be-hide his head.
"Dang and I thought you two were serious. You dating anyone now?"
Raph just looked at his best friend and gave him a smirk and Mikey just smiled.
"Oh~ I was right! Well! Tell me about him or her? C'mon dude don't leave a brother hanging!"
"Hahaha…He's name is Leonardo. Get this man; he's a turtle just like we are."
"Really that's cool. I thought you, me, and Donnie-boy were the only turtles. Speaking of Donnie how's he doing. I heard he graduated school early. He graduated at like…15 right?"
"Yeah he did. He's doing good. Dating my boyfriend's little sister. Ha…if it wasn't fer her, I wouldn't of never met Leo."
Raph then began to tell Mikey the story of how he met Leo and how they both started dating. He even told him the moment when he was about to kiss him but was interrupted. Mikey laughed at that.
"Oh dude! That happened to me and Calla! Damn I know how ya feel. Give it time and you'll get your kiss. Planning anything?"
"Yeah, if he ain't busy I'm takin' him ta the movies tonight and grab somethin' ta eat."
"He sounds cool. Ya got picture of him?"
Raph's eyes widened for a moment and then he realized he and Leo haven't taken any pictures of each other.
"Damn! No bro I don't. I'm gonna have ta change that. I don't think he's the type that likes gettin' his pic taken."
"Well you two just been together for a month so I ain't surprised. Oh snap! I need to get going bro! I gotta help Calla with the moving." Mikey said as he got up getting ready to leave.
"Aright man, ya take care and tell yer girl I said ay." Raph said as he and Mikey arm hugged each other and Mikey made his way out.
Raph then went back to the couch and laid back down with his hands be-hide his back. He just laid there thinking about Leo. He never thought about getting a picture of himself and Leo. He's gonna have to change that when Leo gets back.
With Leo and April:
It was now after school; Leo and April were outside school waiting for their boyfriends
"So how are you and Raph doing Leo?" April asked breaking the silence.
"Yeah, it's going well so far. And luckily I don't have much homework, so that means he's taking me out tonight." Leo asked with a smile and a blush on his face.
April just smiled at her big brother. She was so happy to see him smile and be happy for real. Maybe she should be a matchmaker.
"How are you Donnie doing April?"
"Very good Leo. He's taking me to a dojo to learn some martial arts move. I can't wait; it's been a while since I've trained with my fan." April said with a huge smile.
"Where's Raph taking you?"
"Uh…he said a movie and going out to eat."
"That's awesome Leo! Man it's so nice to see you so happy Leo. When you get home I want you to tell me all about it when you get back."
"Hehe…Sure, but you have to tell me about your date as well." Leo said with a smile to his sister.
April nodded in agreement with a smile.
The Hamato siblings heard some vehicle's pull up and they noticed it's their boyfriends.
April giggled loudly as she jumped off the ground and ran toward Donnie's car. When Donnie got out and around his car he caught April in a huge hug. He just smiled and kissed her head.
Leo didn't do all that. He just calmly walked toward Raph's truck. Raph was already around his truck to meet up with Leo. He gave Leo a smile and he opened up his arms telling him to give him a hug.
Leo didn't hesitant and gave him a hug and he felt Raph kiss his forehead.
"How was your day Raph?" Leo asked as he moved his head from his chest to look up at his bright green eyes.
"Boring as hell! Nothin' really big was goin' on which is good. Been missin' ya though babe." Raph said with a smirk that made Leo blush again.
"Do you always gotta make me blush?" Leo asked trying to force the blush away.
Raph just smirked at his boyfriend being embarrassed by his flirting. He looked over Leo's head and saw some preppy looking girls giving Leo a cold glare that made his blood boil.
"Raph…you okay…You seem upset about something." Leo asked worried about Raph.
Raph snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his worried boyfriend and gave him a smile.
"Yeah baby I'm fine. You able to go out tonight?"
"Yeah! I don't have much homework. I finished it in study hall so I'm all yours." Leo said with a smile that made Raph's heart make a familiar flutter.
"Great. Then get'cha pretty ass in my truck and let's go." Raph said with a huge smirk. Leo just smiled at his boyfriend and walked toward his truck. Leo was about to opened the trucks passenger door, but Raph stopped him and opened the door for him. Leo just smiled and got in the truck. Raph smiled and he walked around to get to the driver's side when those preppy girls stopped him. He sighed in annoyance.
"What?! Look say what'cha ya want and scram! I would like ta spend time with my boyfriend!" Raph yelled giving the girls a death glare. They shirk away a bit but still stand firm.
"Why is a hunky man like you doing with Lame-a-nardo? Don't you want a real woman like one of us?" Another girl said giving him suggestive look. Leo could hear what the girl said and he felt self-conscious about himself again. This reminded Leo of when Ricky got flirted with by these same girls and Ricky always flirted back and ditched him. So he hoped Raph wouldn't do the same.
"Tch! Don't make me laugh! Sorry girlies but I don't date sluts. I care about Leo, so go jump in a river!" Raph said with so much venom in his voice that sent shivers down Leo's spine.
The girls just looked at Raph with shocked looks on their faces and nearly ran away from him.
Raph then got into his truck and he looked at Leo. Leo gave him a sad smile that Raph didn't like one bit.
"Ay what's the matter babe? Did those girls bother ya today?" Raph asked as he rubbed Leo's cheek.
"Well…Yeah a little bit but not very bad. I mostly ignored them. When…When I used to date Ricky, those same girls always flirted with him and…he flirted back and agreeing with whatever they said about me. Most of the time he even ditched me to go on a date with one of them. And…everytime I went back to school they always rubbed it in that they were better and all that. So…I was really happy when you stood up for me and didn't ditch me." Leo said with a sad smile.
Raph just looked at Leo and he brought Leo into a tight hug to his chest. Leo's eyes widened and hugged Raph tighter to himself as well. He loved it when Raph would just hug him and make him feel better even if just for a few minutes.
"I would neve'a do that ta ya babe…I ain't Ricky…I'll be the man ya deserve…and I know ya ain't a girl but…I'm gonna treat ya like my queen." Raph said as he kissed Leo's forehead.
Leo's eyes widened and blushed blood red but he smiled at the compliment and rubbed his head into his chest.
"Thank you Raph…You're nothing like Ricky…Well…Let's go on a date!" Leo said with a smile and Raph smiled back at him as well.
"Yeah…let's go on our date…" Raph said breaking the hug and driving them off on their date.
