Mumbled words drifted out from under the pillow that was currently covering Leo's head.

"Why'd you give me so many drinks?"

"Cause ya asked for them. Anyway, it was probably good for ya."

"I don't think this headache is good for me," Leo muttered.

Raph wasn't sure what time Leo's meeting was today, so he'd begun nudging the other turtle awake a few minutes prior. He removed the pillow and leaned forward into Leo's vision so the other could see the glass of water he had to offer. Then waited while Leo moved slowly from his plastron to a sitting position before he handed over the water and some pills.

"It's good for ya to relax every once in a while. Plus, yer havin a real shit storm for a vacation."

Leo swallowed the pills but shook his head. "Not vacation."

"All the more reason for you to have taken a night off and let loose."

"How loose?" Leo grumbled. "I don't even remember leaving the restaurant last night." He handed the glass back and Raphael watched as Leo took a deep sniff in through his nose as he glanced around the room for the first time. "Is this your bedroom?"

Raph nodded. "Yeah. I, uh, thought you'd be more comfortable here. I slept out on the couch."

Leo swung his legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood on wobbly legs. "Oh, God, Raphael, I am so sorry. When I called you last night my intention was not to get drunk and kick you out of your own bed."

Raph landed both his hands on Leonardo's shoulders, partly because the other didn't look entirely stable yet, and partly because he wanted Leo's full attention on his face.

"Hey, I have no issue with anything that happened last night." He made sure to keep his eyes locked with Leo's as his thumbs brushed over the other's shoulders. "I don't think ya let others help you all that often and I was happy to be there for ya."

Leo stared back at him for a moment before he relaxed his shoulders under Raph's squeezing fingers. "Yeah, but you've already gone above and beyond helping me these past couple days."

"So? Turtles first, right?"

Leo tilted his head before nodding slowly. "I'm really glad I met you, Raphael."

Raph grinned back at him and tightened his fingers over Leo's shoulder for a quick squeeze before he released him to stand on his own two feet.

"What time is yer meeting?"

"Right after lunch."

"Okay, well the bathroom is over there. And then I'll meet ya in the kitchen."

"This is a real nice bed and breakfast you have here."

Raph grinned at the tease, happy to hear Leo joking with him again. He stopped in the doorway to glance back at him.

"I'll feed ya breakfast under one condition."

Leo raised an eye ridge in question.

"I want ya to come back over here when yer meeting's over."

"Okay."

Raph turned and headed to the kitchen to pull some eggs for omelets. He grinned to himself as he thought about how there'd been no hesitancy in Leo's response.


Raph was working in his kitchen that afternoon when he spotted Leo walking towards his house. Half his mouth lifted in a grin as he shut his laptop and left it on the kitchen table before making his way to the front door to let the guy in. Leonardo still hadn't told him the details of this meeting, but he thought maybe that was due to Leo's nerves about the presentation he was supposed to give. He was hoping he'd open up to him now that the meeting was over.

But he frowned as Leo got closer to the front door. Leo was still wearing his tie and buttoned shirt, but the suit jacket had been tucked over one arm. And Leo looked upset, although he was also doing his best to school his face into a neutral expression, something Raph found he was able to see through immediately.

He barely waited for Leo to have crossed the threshold and was still closing the door behind him when he asked what had happened.

The other turtle tossed his suit jacket onto the back of the closest chair. "She - ," Leo stalled out, his mouth opening and shutting a few times with no words coming out.

Raph watched those blue eyes stare unfocused at the floor for a few moments before they lifted to his face.

"I got there and they were surprised to see me, because they said they'd already met with my business partner yesterday."

"You have a business partner?"

"No." Leo's tone was cold as he turned away and moved to stand and stare out one of the front windows.

"Did ya still get to meet with em?"

"No." Leo shook his head. "The person I was supposed to meet with wasn't even there. She's off island now or something. They said that since my business partner was there yesterday, that she wasn't expecting a meeting today."

"Did the business partner pitch yer product?"

"Apparently yes."

Raph grimaced. "Who the fuck would do that?"

Leo exhaled a shaky breath and Raph reacted without thinking, moving forward to wrap his arms around Leo's shoulders from behind. Although, he realized as he was doing so, that he was actually pretty comfortable invading Leo's personal space.

"Hey, everything is gonna be alright."

He felt Leo move and for a moment thought maybe the other turtle was trying to pull away from him. But then he realized that Leo was only trying to turn. So he loosened his grip and allowed Leo to twist so that they were facing each other. Then he tightened his arms around the other's shoulders again as Leo let his forehead fall to Raph's shoulder.

"You can't know that," Leo murmured.

"No," Raph said with a half shrug. "But I've seen you in action over the last couple days and I'm bettin ya can handle this."

Leo sighed and Raph actually shivered as Leo's breath hit his neck.

"And I'm gonna help ya. Okay? I know everyone on this island. We'll go back to that office tomorrow and I'll help ya straighten this out."

"I can't ask you to do that."

"Yer not askin me to do it. I'm just gonna do it."

Leo sighed again, sending another shiver through Raphael. "This trip has been a disaster."

"Well, except for meeting me, right?" Raph joked.

Leo lifted his head from Raph's shoulder and Raph watched as those blue eyes, which had been full of frustration and confusion a few moments ago, now softened as they scanned over his face.

"You're the only good thing about this trip."

Leo's arms rose from his sides Raph felt his heart start to race faster as Leo's fingers trailed over his biceps.

"Raph?" Leo asked slowly, "is it okay if I kiss you?"

Raphael licked his lips and tilted his head forward, his eyes focused on Leo's lips for a moment before meeting those blue eyes one more time. Then he lunged forward and pressed his mouth to Leo's mouth.

He had experience with kissing. Kissing wasn't new to him. But somehow kissing Leo felt like the first proper kiss he'd ever delivered. Their mouths fit together like puzzle pieces. In a way that had never occurred when he had kissed anyone before. It was feeling like the first proper kiss he'd ever received as well, based on how well Leo's lips were moving against his.

With Leo's tongue soon twisting around his own and Leo's fingers tightening over his arms, he growled as he began moving them away from the front door. He let himself fall into a seated position as the back of his knees hit the couch, though he wasn't separated from Leo for long as the other turtle immediately took the opportunity to straddle his lap and move his lips to Raph's neck.

"Jeezus." He twitched under Leo's mouth and sparks of pleasure shot down his neck to his arms, his shell, his plastron, his fucking groin.

"God, you smell good," Leo murmured before leaching his mouth back onto Raph's neck.

"Yeah?" Raph stilled only for a moment as Leo's words hit him. Mainly because one of his previous bedmates, not that there had been many in his history, but the last one had mentioned that he seemed to emit a strong smell when he was aroused, a smell that unfortunately said bedmate didn't enjoy. To the point where they were intimate less and less until they called it quits. And Raph hadn't pursued a relationship with anyone since then, feeling too self-conscious to want to try.

But, based on his own reaction to the incredible scent Leo was currently emitting, he was inclined to believe that Leo was actually enjoying his scent. The thought warmed him further and he felt himself relax even more under Leo's talented mouth. He arched his head back to give Leonardo better access to his neck and was rewarded with an appreciative noise from Leo.

His hands fumbled for the buttons on Leo's shirt, although he found he needed to remove the tie first. He'd really admired Leo in his suit that afternoon when he'd left for his meeting, but now he was cursing all the pieces to it. Because once he'd tugged the tie loose enough to get it over Leo's head, an act that had Leo growling at him since it forced him to separate his mouth from Raphael's neck, he found that the damn buttons on the shirt were freakishly tiny.

"If I give ya another buttoned shirt for yer suit for tomorrow, will you be okay with losing this shirt?"

Leo pulled his head back to look at him and Raph nearly groaned as those half-lidded hazy blue eyes looked back at him. Jeezus. He was ready to sign up to make it his new life mission to make sure Leo's eyes looked like that as often as possible.

"Lose the shirt?" Leo asked, clearly confused and doing his best to wrap his otherwise occupied brain around Raph's words.

"Fuck it," Raph murmured. He grabbed the two sides of the front of Leo's shirt, pulled, and was soon grinning as buttons flew. Then he grinned wider, because there was no confusion about which parts of Leo's body to touch for the best response. His fingers pressed teasingly into the cartilage on Leo's plastron and he immediately heard Leo's breathing speed up. His fingers dipped over Leo's sides and roamed around to his shell, already eager to explore the grooves he'd find there.

"Raaaph." Leo released his neck and nuzzled his face into the side of Raph's face.

As much as Raph would like to memorize the patterns on Leo's shell, the sound of his name moaned out of Leo's mouth like that immediately forced his hands lower to squeeze over Leo's pant-covered rear end. A squeeze that led to Leo jerking his hips forward. There was a subtle grind of their lower plastrons against each other, which was enough to pull a noise from Leo that Raph was all too familiar with, even if he'd never heard it from another before.

"Oh fuck," he whispered as he pulled Leo even closer to his plastron with a possessive tug. Leo churred again in response and soon Raph was answering the churr with one of his own.

He stilled for a moment when Leo's head snapped up. The churr had been met by questioning looks in the past. But when he glanced up at Leo now, all he could see was a hungry look in those blue eyes.

"Oh, I like that sound, Raphael," Leo whispered.

"Lose the pants and I'll fill yer night with that sound."

Leo's eyes sparked at him and a small smile pulled at his lips. "What else are you willing to fill?"

Raph churred at him again and in the next moment he was on his feet and dragging Leo back into the bedroom. "Yer gonna kill me," he growled. Leo only chuckled in response as he pulled Raph's t-shirt over his head and then did his best to undo the button of Raph's jeans before they even reached the bedroom.

Leo's pants were pushed off quickly and while slowly teasing Leo was probably a fun activity that he'd look forward to in the future, for now Raph's thumb immediately rubbed the length of Leo's slit, a move that had Leo arching against him where they stood. Since his thumb was currently distracting Leo from Leo's previous task of getting his jeans off the rest of the way, he reluctantly pulled his hand away from Leo's bulging slit, pushed Leo back onto the bed, and finished the task of getting his jeans into a pile on the floor.

Then he climbed onto the bed and hovered over the other turtle. He took a moment to admire the come get me look that was once again shining up at him from Leo's hooded blue eyes. And he reveled in the way Leo's fingers were once again sliding over his arms.

His churred at the turtle beneath him as his hand returned to Leo's slit. Leo dropped down immediately for him, throbbing and warm and Raph didn't hesitate to dip his head and take the length into his mouth. He almost grinned as he heard an actual swear word fall out of Leonardo's mouth in response.

Leo's hips arched repeatedly as Raph worked his mouth over him, alternating between exploring the pulsing vein he found and doing his best to suck Leo's hard length towards his throat. He listened to Leo's praises and practically moaned himself as Leo's scent filled his nose and curled into a growing warmth in his stomach.

And while he distracted Leo with his mouth, his fingers began stretching Leo to accommodate him, a process that didn't take long, if Leo was to be believed, as he began dragging Raph up by his shoulders and spreading muscular thighs for Raph to fall between.

"Fuck," Raph groaned as he sank into tight heat. "You are gonna kill me." His hips thrust forward and he watched as Leo's mouth fell open in pleasure. "Jeezus." He just fit here. The two of them just fit together.

Strong legs wrapped tightly around Raph's hips and Leo arched himself as far up as his shell would allow as he continued to churr and pant with almost every one of Raph's movements. Raph reached down and wrapped a hand around Leo's length in order to further satisfy his partner. And he seemed to be doing the job, if Leo chanting his name was any indication. Encouraged, he moved his hips faster as churrs repeatedly rolled up his own throat.

Then he felt Leo begin to tremble within his grip and watched in wonder as Leo fell over the edge, simultaneously relaxing in his release, as well as managing to clench around Raphael. Raph cursed once again as he was hit with an entirely new sensation that jerked his entire body over Leo's with his own release. He let his head fall to Leo's shoulder and did his best to catch his breath. He listened to Leo's own panting breaths and minutes passed before he opened his mouth to say anything.

"Yer pretty fuckin incredible," he rumbled to the turtle beneath him.

Leo's mouth remained open as he gulped in air. But he still managed to lean his head forward and bite lightly into Raph's shoulder. Raph chuckled and rolled them to their sides.

"I needed that." Leo's voice was hoarse as his eyes finally opened again. "I need you, Raphael."

Raph ran a thumb down the side of Leo's face. His brain was still a little fuzzy, but he easily recognized the sincere need and adoration he could see in Leo's eyes. He rewrapped his arms around the other turtle and pulled him closer. He was going to kiss him for as long as Leo would let him. Then they'd sleep. And tomorrow, when his brain was ready to function again, he'd figure out a way to keep Leonardo.
