Ch.15 Past is back; Touch him again and you'll die
Raph and Leo have gotten a lot closer since Raph came over that night. Leo feels more comfortable around him and Raph couldn't be happier about that. Right now it's February, and Leo couldn't wait to spend time with Raph. Raph has been a bit busy for a while but he made sure to call Leo whenever he can and when he gets to see him he take that chance. Leo always feels a chill when Raph tells him he loves him. Raph is always patient with him because of his past and Leo couldn't be happier. He may actually have the nerve to tell him on Valentine's Day but he wasn't sure yet. Time can only tell.
Right now Leo was outside his school waiting for Raph. Raph said he wanted to spend time with him and he couldn't wait. It's been a while since they hung out together. It's been about 2 weeks since they actually went on a date which made Raph really pissed off. Leo always laughed when Raph complains about him missing his special time with Leo.
Leo then deiced to read on of his favorite book while he waited for Raph. While Leo read there was a shadow over him and he turned around and right in front of his eyes…was his ex-boyfriend Ricky. Leo gasped and dropped his book.
"R-R-Ricky?! W-W-What the hell are you doing here?! You are NOT allowed to be near me or my family!" Leo yelled as he picked up his book quickly, put it in his bag, and started walking away from him but Ricky followed him.
"I told you…you will regret putting me in jail ya bitch! But since I'm such a loving guy, I'm here to be your boyfriend again." Ricky said with a smirk and Leo looked at him like he had two heads.
"HA! Like hell I'll be with YOU again Ricky. After the pain you caused me, and especially my sister, you'd be lucky I don't punch you like I did before! Now step BACK or I WILL call the police!" Leo yelled and began to walk further away from him. He wishes Raph was here. Leo may have more confidence but there's a limit that Leo can take.
Leo then got to the sidewalk and began walking further away from school and Ricky was STILL following him. Leo decided to send a quick text to Raph. He decided to put Raph on speed dial just in case. Raph agreed with him completely.
'-Raph hurry to my skool! Ricky's here!-'Leo texted quick and put his phone back quickly. Leo decided to keep walking away from him till Ricky grabbed hold of Leo's arm which made him wince in pain.
"Let me go NOW Ricky! I don't want ANYTHING to do with you! I already have a boyfriend!" Leo yelled trying to get his arm out of Ricky's grip. He may be a martial artist but Ricky caused him so much pain and fear that he doesn't know what to do.
Ricky's eyes went wide and then he laughed because he thought Leo was joking.
"Pfft! Yeah right! Who could stand your dumb ass besides me? Don't make me laugh! Now let's go, I'm tired of being here." Ricky said as he began to drag Leo but Leo held firm.
Ricky then punched Leo's face and Leo fell to the ground. He was doing his best not to cry but he was losing the battle. Ricky was about to punch him again but Ricky was pulled away by an angry Raph.
When Raph got Leo's text his heart was beating fast and he was boiling mad. He speeds down the road not caring if he gets pulled over, or if he hit anyone. He just wanted to get to Leo before Ricky did any more damage to Leo. When Raph pulled up, he saw Ricky punched Leo. He parked his truck and ran toward Ricky and pulled him away from him and punched Ricky in the nose and Ricky fell to the ground.
"FUCK! DAMN THAT HURT!" Ricky yelled as he held his nose that Raph punched. Raph then ran over to Leo to see if he was okay.
"Baby! Ya okay?! I got here as soon as I can!" Raph said as he looked at Leo's face. Luckily Ricky just hit Leo on the cheek and not his eye.
Leo whimpered when Raph gently touched his cheek. Raph gently kissed his cheek and grew angry when he heard Ricky begin to get up. Raph moved away from Leo to go over to Ricky and kicked him in the gut which made Ricky fall back down. Raph then kneeled down and he grabbed Ricky's hair hard as he pushed his head into the ground.
"Ya piece of shit! Ya dare punch my boyfriend?! Heh! Man…I've been dying ta meet'cha asshole!" Raph sneered as he pushed Ricky's head further in the ground.
"AHH! Bastard! Get the fuck off me!" Ricky yelled thrashing around trying to get Raph's hand off his head. Raph didn't listen but pushed him further.
Leo slowly got up from the ground and walked over to Raph as he watched Ricky's head being pushed into the ground. Leo didn't feel sorry for him one bit. If Raph goes over bored he'll intervene.
"Ha…So you weren't lying ya bitch! Pfft! If ya think I'm scared of this prick you're sadly wrong. When you're alone I'll-"Raph moved Ricky's face from the ground and punched him again but harder. Ricky gasped out in pain but Raph didn't care. He went over to him and kicked in in the gut hard.
"Ya must be new around here…Then let me tell ya somethin'. Ya miss with Leo; ya miss with me, and my gang." Raph said with a smirk when he noticed Ricky's eyes widened.
"G-Gang?! What the fuck are ya talking about you stupid turtle?" Ricky yelled only to get kicked in the face again.
"That's right prick…I'm the leader of The RayGunz. We may not kill…but you could be an exception if ya get anywhere near Leo or his family. So don't even think about going to his sister. She's dating my little brother. Ya might as well give it up." Raph said with a smirk and he wrapped an arm around Leo's shoulder holding him close.
Ricky just glared at Raph. He was mad because Raph was right. Thanks to Leo's new boyfriend he is feared and only people that want a death wish would mess with Leo now, as well as April.
Leo was surprised. He's never seen Raph fight before but he knew he would see it sooner or later. He knew Raph was the gang's leader and that there was some violence. It touched Leo's heart that Raph was only sweet around him.
"Seems ta me we have an understanding here Rick! Babe, call the cops; he still has a restraining order on you and your family right?" Raph asked as he looked at Leo in his right arm.
"Y-Yeah. Even if he gets out of jail, he is never to make contact with me, or my family. If so, he will be arrested on the spot for disobeying the law." Leo said to Raph as he got out his cell phone.
"Good call them. Good thing ya walked away from the school a bit…don't wanna make huge scene." Raph said looking around. Leo didn't even notice he left the school front. He was just desperate to get away from Ricky he started walking the sidewalk paying no mind. He was lucky Raph found him.
Ricky got up from the ground. When he heard that they were gonna call the police he was gonna try to leave, but Raph caught him in mid run and held him in a head-lock.
"Ngh! Where da ya think yer going tough guy! Ya thought ya were gonna come up here and try make Leo yers again! Pfft! Don't make me laugh! I'm gonna make sure ya go to jail fer hitting him ya bastard!" Raph said as he tightens his hold.
Leo was on his cell phone shaking a little bit. He's never seen Raph so angry but he couldn't really blame him for being upset. I mean, Leo was hit right in the head.
"Y-Yes 911. I'm here at Ninja Rd 89. A man named Ricky Grey has violated his restraining order on me and he assaulted me. Please hurry, my boyfriend has him in a head lock so he won't get away… Oh my…Y-Yes we'll do that. T-Thank you, bye." Leo said as he hung up his cell.
Leo walked over to Raph to see how he was doing. Raph was doing well. In fact, I think he was actually quite happy he got a chance to teach Ricky a lesson for hurting him.
"R-Raph, I called the cops…they should be here soon. They say not to let him go…It seems Ricky has escaped from prison. I guess he was gonna try and take me away with him. Sigh…Why won't he leave me alone..?" Leo said to himself as he sat down on the sidewalk away from Ricky and Raph. Raph noticed what Leo said and he got much angrier at Ricky and tightens his hold on Ricky's neck.
"YO! Ease up ya prick!" Ricky yelled trying to get out of the gang leaders hold but Raph didn't even budge.
Then a police car came up and Raph was glad. He didn't know when they'll come. He was about to kill the bastard.
"Ya listen to me well ya prick!" Raph growled in Ricky's ear which made the red head freeze from fear and he NEVER felt like that.
"If I ever find out you laid another hand on Leo, or his family…I'll make yer life a living hell! You touch him again and you'll die!" Raph hissed and Ricky freeze from his threat. If from the rumors he heard that if the leader of the RayGunz, that was against killing unless you hurt someone you love, were true, then he's happy he's going to jail.
"We gotta him son, you can let go now." A police officer said as he walked over toward Raph and Ricky.
Raph slowly let go of Ricky making sure he doesn't try to run off. Ricky tried to make a run again but Raph grabbed him again and the police officers brought his hands be-hide his back so they could cuff him.
"GODDAMIT! WHEN I GET OUTTA HERE LEO I'LL MAKE YA PAY! YA HEAR ME YA BITCH?! I WILL MAKE YO-"Raph punched him in the gut and police officers let him. The officers understood, plus they believe Ricky deserved it for what he's done.
"Didja not happen ta remember our little chat Ricky boy?" Raph asked with an evil smirk on his face that made everyone, even Leo, shiver from fear. Leo was glad that Raph was only nice to him.
Ricky palled and he shut his mouth up.
"Officer Rivers please take Grey to the police car and stay in the car with him. I need to ask these two some questions." Officer Tucker said to the other officer. He nodded and took Grey to the car.
"Thank you for your help. That man has escaped us about 2 weeks ago. He'll be going to jail for a long time." Officer Tucker said as he looked at the two turtles.
"T-That's good. W-What else did he do to get more jail time?" Leo asked as he cuddled up to Raph and Raph just hugged him closer with his arm.
"Sigh…During the escape attempted he killed an Officer on duty." Officer Tucker said with a grim look on his face. Leo felt horrible because he felt like it was his entire fault because he got out trying to get to him.
"I-I'm so sorry Officer Tucker…" Leo said as he clasped his hands together and looked down at the ground with tears nearly falling out.
"It's okay young man…It's not your fault. Can you please tell me you're two's name and what's your relationship with the culprit?" Officer asked as he got out his notepad.
"Y-Yes sir…I'm Leonardo Hamato. Ricky Grey used to be my boyfriend about 3 years ago now. H-He was verbally and physically abusive to me. One day when I stopped calling him because of family problems. He wasn't happy about that and came to my home one night and…knocked my door in scaring me and my little sister. He told me t-to either choose him or my family and I chose my family of course. He then tried to force me to go with him and my sister tried to stop him and he struck her. I was angry and struck him back. And my sister called the police and he had a restraining order on us for life. He was never allowed anywhere near me or my family. And…that's the whole past story officer." Leo said with a shaky voice from re-thinking of his past trauma. Raph just hugged Leo closer to him to give him comfort.
"Yes…Oh! I see it now in the report. Well, I'm sorry you had to go through this again Mr. Hamato. But with the murder charge, he will be in prison for life for killing an officer of the law. And what about you young man. Are you Mr. Hamato's friend?" The officer asked as he looked at Raph.
"I'm Raphael Ray and I'm Leo's boyfriend. Me and Leo started dating last year around September. And yeah I have a record but nothin' as bad as that prick." Raph said as he threw his thumb at Ricky that was in the back of the police car.
"Yes, I know your record Mr. Ray. Some of us Officers support you for stopping the Foot gang. Just be careful out there son. Anyway we'll take care of Mr. Grey. Raphael and Leonardo take care of yourselves. We'll add the charge of assault from the punch he gave you. Take care you kids." Officer Tucker said as he walked toward the police car and drove off taking Ricky back to prison where he belonged.
Leo was shaking so bad he fell to his knees while he hugged himself. Raph followed after him right away and wrapped his arms around Leo to comfort him.
"Baby…It's okay…Shhh…Shhh…I'm here fer ya. I won't let him hurt ya again." Raph said as he hugged Leo tighter. Leo hugged Raph back shaking from his encounter with Ricky. Why can't he just leave him alone and move on with his life. What has he done to deserve such pain. He's finally able to move because he found a great guy but he can't help but fear Ricky every now and then.
"I'm proud of ya Leo." Raph said gently to Leo's ear. Leo moved his head away from Raph's chest to look at Raph and he gave him a confusing look.
"Why? W-What did I do?" Leo asked wondering what he could have done to make Raph proud of him. The only thing he remembered was being afraid of Ricky.
"Leo…you faced yer fears. You held yer own against Ricky. Ya didn't let him make you go with him anywhere, or let him talk down ta ya. If Ricky did have any control you wouldn't be here right now and…Sigh, I'm just really proud of you…And you should be proud of yerself too baby. Ya faced a portion of yer pain." Raph said with a little smile. Raph's words made Leo's heart swell. Raph was right…he should feel proud of himself because he faced his fear and held firm. Leo won this battle of fear from Ricky. Sure he was still a bit nervous around him, but he doesn't let Ricky control him like 3 years ago. Leo smiled at Raph.
"You're right Raph…I…should be proud of myself…I proved to Ricky that I won't be controlled anymore by him…Sigh…I just…can't believe he killed an officer…" Leo said quietly looking down at the ground.
"Baby…that ain't yer fault either. That man was crazy obsessive with ya. He would of hurt anyone. The important thing is that he's been caught and will be sent to jail for life for takin' an officers life. So…don't let that get ta ya babe." Raph said as he grabbed Leo's chin to make him look at him.
Leo looked into Raph's eyes seeing nothing but love, truth, and worry…This turtle in front of him helped him through so much. He knows he loves Raph and he'll tell him that soon…but for now he'll show Raph how much he loves him through action.
Leo moved his head and gave Raph a chaste kiss that surprised Raph but he kissed Leo back. Raph could feel in Leo's kiss that he loves him, and that was enough for him. He'll wait for Leo…no matter how long it takes and he'll make sure that if anyone hurts Leo…they'll be wishing for death.
Few Hours later with Ricky:
For some reason the cops said Ricky had a guest. He knew it wasn't Leo, and his family didn't live in New York so he had no idea who could want to see him. He didn't care though, a few minutes out of his cell was great for him.
Ricky walked over to the phone window box and sat down to wait for his guest. Ricky was just sitting there waiting. After a few minutes and saw his guest, he couldn't believe his eyes.
His guest grabbed the phone and calmly waited for Ricky to take the other phone on his side. Ricky shakily took his phone to put up next to his ear to listen to what he wanted.
"I heard you had a scuffle…with the leader of The RayGunz." The guest said with his deep chilling voice that sent fear down Ricky's spin.
"Y-Yeah…What of it?" Ricky said in a gruff voice. He was still sore from that headlock the turtle gang leader gave him.
"You tell me what the scuffle was about, and what caused it…I'll get you out of prison. How about it Grey? Wouldn't you like to have revenge on the turtle that brought you in here?" The guest said with a knowing smirk.
Ricky thought for a moment. All he had to do was tell him what he knows…and he's free. He could leave NYC and be done. He wasn't going after Leo no more that's for sure. He didn't want to deal with the RayGunz leader…but he could leave him a gift of dealing with his guest.
"I'll be happy to tell ya…Oroku Saki…"
