Ch 4 Reflection
The scientist watched the two turtles playing in the water. The day went fast and, although Blue seemed to be more relaxed he was still rather wary of Red. Eventually, Mark once again brought a pizza to the enclosure and once again Red insisted Blue have some. Blue settled down much quicker then last time and enjoyed his share with happily with Red. That night, after eating, the enclosure lights dimmed and the turtles once again settled in for the night. This time, while Red crawled into the hallow of his tree, Blue settled himself against his tree in a more relaxed position and fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Okay, their both asleep." Bill noted. "Let's hope we start to see some action." He settled back in his chair with a huge sigh. "If we don't see results soon, we'll lose our funding on this."
"True." Mark agreed. "But I have to admit, I still can't help but feel like some part of this is all wrong." Bill let out an annoyed grunt as his co-worker continued. "These terrapins are almost human and we're playing with their natural order of life."
"In what way?" Bill huffed. "They're a strange type of species of turtle that needs to be studied." He laid his head back on his chair. "As a herpetologist, I would think you would want to study them." He looked at him sternly. "You should know that the more we learn about them, the better chance we have at figuring out what we can do with them."
"The only thing I want to do with them." Mark countered. "Is let them live the kind of life they prefer. I do want to study them, but I would rather it be in their own habitat. Not one made by man."
"Oh please." Bill almost sound disgusted. "They are doing just fine in that enclosure." He gave a slight chuckle. "Red at least is use to this. Granted he's been here for over a year but after a few months he finally accepted the situation. But Blue is new so we just have to give him time, he'll get use to it eventually." He let out a yawn. "Red will see to that."
"And what about all the other ones?" Mark turned away from him and continued to write in his notebook. "Are you still going to use them? Do you and the government want me to continue studying them?" He tsked at Bill. "If you had your way, the female he didn't want would be dead by now."
"Although I would prefer to terminate them and no longer deal with them, the government is giving you a decent amount of leeway to do with them as you see fit. So you may do what you want with them." Bill turned away from Mark and stood up. "I'm going to take a shower and get ready for bed."
Mark watched Bill leave and shook his head. He turned back to the two sleeping turtles with a thoughtful far away look in his eyes. Although the strange humanoid turtles did fascinate him, something about all this just didn't sit right, but for now, he had to let his feelings go. Hopefully, something would happen soon and they could get on with their experiments and, if everything went well, in a years' time they would be done with all this. Maybe then, he would venture into the jungles of Japan and look for these strange turtles' nesting ground.
For the next few days, the scientist continued to observe the turtles, waiting for something more to happen. But so far the turtles just played and react with each other in constant combat. It seemed to the scientist, their combat was a way for them to assert some sort dominance over each other. And although Blue won over Red several times, Red was not easily taken down and once Blue would walk away from him or just turn his back, Red would jump Blue and the fight would continue. At times, it seemed to the scientist that Blue would actually expect this and in his own strange way, encourage the fight between them to continue.
"They're fighting style is strange and yet...oddly familiar." Mark noted one day, after watching the two turtles in hand to hand combat."It almost looks like some sort of martial arts."
"What!?" Bill exclaimed, almost laughing out of his chair. "You are giving these things way too much credit." He said while taking a bite of his sandwich. "They are nothing more then stupid animals who want to fight to increase they're strange sexual play, there's nothing more to it then that."
"I suppose but still." Mark mused. "It seems like there just something more to all this."
"Well, again, I give them just one more week and if this is all they are going to do, then we'll have to change tactics."
They continued to observe the interesting turtles and finally, a few days before the week would be up, Red did something neither the scientist nor Blue was expecting. Mark took pizza to the enclosure as he always did toward the end of the day. Blue no longer attempted to try and get to the door when it would slide open, he had learned the door closed no matter what he did and he wanted to keep his fingers. So he would just sit against his tree or in the water and allow Red to bring the food over to him.
But on this night, when Red took the box back to Blue, instead of giving Blue the food, he took Blue's hand and forced him to come over to his tree, he brought Blue down into the hollow opening and settled back, forcing Blue to lean against him. He handed him a slice of pizza and placed an arm around Blue's shoulder. Blue, at first did not seem too happy with this new affection being shown to him but when Red refused to allow him to get up, Blue gave in and settled back. He ate his pizza while leaning his head onto Red's shoulder. That night, the two turtles cuddled against each other while they slept
"Well, it's about time."Mark commented, laying his head back in satisfaction. "Looks like Red is trying to get Blue to accept the situation, or maybe he really wants something more from him now." He wrote again in his notebook. "Or at least expects something more."
Bill rubbed his hands in anticipation. "Yeah, let's see what they do tomorrow." Bill closed his eyes and laid his head forward on the desk. "It'll be nice to finally see some action."
At the brightening of the lights, Blue opened his eyes and attempted to get out from the hollow of the tree. But the action woke Red up and he held Blue in his spot. Once again, Blue protested but when Raph put his arms around him and nuzzled his beak into Blue's neck, Blue smiled and snuggled back against him. Things started innocently enough, Red stroked Blue's cheek and continued to nuzzle him. He chirped and purred while he nuzzled from Blue's cheek down to his neck and eventually brought his eyes up to meet his. They stared at each other longingly and then Red brought Blue into a hug. Blue closed his eyes and snuggled contentedly into Red's plastron. He then pulled back and grabbed Red's hand coaxing him out of the tree. They stood up and made their way over to the stream and into the water.
The scientist leaned forward in anticipation and watched as Blue brought the two of them into the shallow part of the water and pressed himself against Red. He placed his mouth on Red's and kissed him deeply. He then began to sensually make his way down along Red's plastron. Blue grabbed Red's hands and he forced them to sink down into the stream and made Red lay on top of him. For the next several minutes, the two turtles laid in the water and kissed deeply and hungrily while the water flowed gently over them.
Blue's hands rubbed Red's shell soothingly, his legs on either side of Red's body. His hands working along Red's shell and down toward his ass where he grabbed at it roughly and pressed Red's groin against him.
"Yes!" Bill said triumphantly. "They're finally starting to mate." He watched the monitors intently and slowly his eyes narrowed as he watched. "Amazing." Bill whispered writing quickly in his notebook. "Does it seem like Blue is rather aggressive in combat but submissive in the other 'physical' activities?" He wondered out loud.
"No, Blue is actually coaxing Red to do what he wants him to." Mark commented as he too made notations in his notebook. "It's like Blue is appeasing Red through sex while he's getting something in return."
"Okay but what is he getting in return?" Bill wondered.
"Not sure right now." Mark told him. "This Blue is a strange turtle. At first he wanted nothing to do with Red but now he's allowing Red to do things to him while he's dictating what they do…but for what?" Mark tapped his chin. "Could it be he's finally giving in to being here and this is his way of just letting Red know that he's accepted the situation and is allowing them to be something more?"
Bill and Mark looked at each other and shrugged. "Guess will just have to wait and see." Bill told him.
They watched as the two turtles' foreplay increased in motion. They made out for a while til Blue forced Red up and began to coax him up his body. Red leaned up and the two stared at each other intently. Eventually, Red's cock slipped out and Blue forced his head down in between Red's legs and began sucking hard on Red's cock while Red straddle Blue's chest. Blue continued to massage Red's ass while he sucked hard on Red's cock.
Eventually, their fore play stopped and Blue pushed Red off him. He then got up and went into the water toward the pool and swam around, a come hither look in his hazel eyes as he stared at Red with his eye ridges wiggling.
