Cristen woke up to her stomach rumbling. Sat up in her bed and rolled over to her secret snack place in her dresser. When her hand grabbed air she realised he wasn't at home. Then events of the last 24 hours came back to her and she blushed. remembering what had happend before she fell asleep. She giggled and rolled around her bed in glee before she sat up abruptly. Her heart started to race. What would happen now? We're her and Raph a thing? Did she want them to be a thing? She remembered how sweetly he had kissed her, how he was always there for her when she needed him, his beautiful greeneyes that she loved. Yup. She wanted them to be a thing. But what about the others, and Splinter? Her train of thought was interupted by another growl of her stomach.
"Ok!ok!God." She said getting out of bed. She walked towards the kitchen and on the way she passed Leo and Raph watching tv.
"Oh hey Cristen. Have a nice nap?"
Leo asked as she walked past.
"What? Oh. Yeah. Sure." She looked towards Raph who was looking at her from the corner of his eye. "Hey Raph."
"Hey." He said blushing softly. Cristen continued to the kitchen and as soon as she got behind the cutain she slid to the floor.
"Hey? What the heck was that? Stupid stupid." She said hitting her head with her palm. She looked up to the counter and saw Spike peeking over the edge at her. "It wasn't that bad right?" She asked. Spike blinked and then walked back out of her sight. "Yeah I know."
Back outside Leo turned to Raph.
"Ok what happend?"
"What are you talking about?" Raph asked changing the channel. Leo took the remote and flung it to the other side of the room. Raph looked at his hand in shock.
"Did you just-?"
Leo grabbed Raph shoulders.
"You know what I'm talking about. What happened between you and Cristen?"
Raphs face slowly reddend and he shrugged Leos hands off his shoulders.
"Nothing." He mumbled under his breath crossing his arms. Leo gasped and covered his mouth in suprise.
"No way man. No way. You kissed her didn't you. Oh my God you kissed her. Guys!" He yelled standing up. "Raph and-"
Raph clamped his hand over Leo's mouth and pushed him back onto te couch. "Shutup Lamenardo. She'll hear you." He said glancing over to the kitchen. Leo grinned mischievously.
"Does Sensai know?" Raphs eyes widened and then turned into slits.
"You wouldn't."
"Oh Sensai." Leo called out. Raph jumped on him and tackled him to the ground.
"I swear if you ever-"
Leo opened his mouth to say something when Cristen walked out of the kitchen with a bowl of strawberries and a can of whip cream. She stopped spraying it in her mouth when she saw what was going on.
"Guuuyss. Whats going on?" She asked nervously.
"Nothing." Raph said getting up. "Right Leo?" He said through gritted teeth.
"Right." Said Leo brushing himself off. She gave them a look that said 'I call bullshit' but let it go.
"Um...Raph. Could I talk to you. Alone." Leo glanced at Raph who glared at him before nodding.
"Sure."
He followed her to her room where he shut the door behind them. She sat in her bed and ate a strawberry slowly staring at Raph. Her eyes narrowed as she pulled the green leaves away and placed them back in the bowl.
"Soo." Raph said rubbing his neck nervously. "What's up." She sprayed some whip cream in her mouth and offered it to Raph who declined. She shrugged and picked up another strawberry.
"I've been talking to spike." She said. The corner of Raphs mouth twitched up in a half grin. Whenever she had been thinking about something important she always talked to Spike. Raph could relate. He had been doing that for years. There was comfertable in talking to him even though he couldn't talk back.
"Oh. And what did he say." She laughed and stood up so she was right in front of him. Then her lips were in his. He stumbled back but the door caught him. He turned so her back was on the door and she gasped allowing him to explore her mouth. She tasted sweet. Like strawberries and whip cream. He kissed her jaw and made his way to her ear.
"So this morning wasn't a dream." He whispered. She played with his bandana tails and nuzzled into his neck.
"Raph. What are we doing?"
He pulled away and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.
"The truth is, I've kinda had a crush on you since we meet."
Her eyes widened and she looked up at him.
"Really?"
"Yeah. And the thing is, I tried so hard not to but, I just couldn't help myself. You're funny and cool and I can talk to you about anything. And look at you." he said gesturing to her. She laughed and covered her face.
"Raph stop."
He shrugged. "Ok fine. On one condition."
"What."
"You be my girlfriend."
She grinned and then sighed flipping her hair back. "Well, I'll have to inform all of my fine my suitors but...I accept." He rolled his eyes and she pulled him over to the bed and sat on his lap.
"Strawberry?" She asked picking up the bowl. He opened up his mouth and they went back and forth feeding each other strawberries til they were all gone.
Outside the room, Mikey had his ear pressed to the door.
"They've been in there a long time." He said. His eyes opened wider. "Do you think they're-?"
Donnie smacked him. "No! If they were doing that they would be making much more noise." That made Leo smack him.
"Donnie!"
"Well its true."
"Hey guys. What are you doing?" April asked. The guys all jumped in suprise.
"Uh. Not spying in Raph and Cristen. That's definantly not what were doing." Mikey said.
A look of confusion came over her face but then slowly her blue eyes grew to the size of a saucer.
"Do you mean? Wait. When? How? How did I not know?" Her eye twitched and she started banging on the door.
"Aye! Whats going on in there?" She yelled. Cristen opened the door mid knock.
"Uh it wasn't locked." She said.
April lowered her hand.
"Oh...well know that the door is open I want answers. Starting with why you weren't at school today."
Cristen mentally face palmed. In her panic she had totally forgotten to call April.
"It's a long story." She said. Raph came up behind her and noticed the red head.
"Oh hey April." He said with a stupid look on his face.
April turned back to Cristen.
"Oh I've got time."
