"Roses are red. Violets are blue. Blah, blah, blah, I want you."

Leo's eyes lit up, but he kept his mouth even and rolled to his side in the sand, resting his head up on his raised hand.

"I love you enough to -," Leo paused deliberately and looked down at the turtle who lay basking on his shell next to him. He let half his mouth twist up into a smirk "- to never cook for you."

Raphael pursed his mouth, forbidding his traitorous lips from lifting into a smile. His eyes moved from the sunny blue sky back to Leo's blue eyes before he spoke again.

"Yer face. I love that shit."

The corner of Leo's lips twitched, but he fought against it and pushed on. "We're like hot chocolate and marshmallows. You're hot and I want to be on top of you."

One of Leo's eye ridges rose when he heard a low, gravely noise from Raph's throat. He was suspicious that the growl was being used to cover a churr, especially since Raphael was refusing to meet his eyes. But the noise didn't repeat, and Leo decided to let it slide.

Raphael swallowed once he was assured that Leo wasn't going to call him out on his response to that last line. He cleared his throat before saying, "Well, I'm here, what were yer other two wishes?"

Leo tilted his head so that his eyes could easily roam down Raph's hard body, allowing him to admire the way the emerald skin looked in the sun. He liked Raph's line, but the other turtle wasn't getting a laugh out of him for it, mainly because Raphael as his mate was always going to be a dream come true, not that he was going to say that mushy line out loud at this moment.

He was vaguely aware that Raph's eyes were back on his face and took advantage by letting his tongue move slowly over his bottom lip as he thought of another cheesy pickup line for their game.

"I'm not a weatherman," Leo said, "but I think you can expect quite a few inches tonight."

Raphael barked out a loud laugh. "Holy shit, Leo!"

A real smile finally crossed Leo's face as he listened to the rumbling sound of Raphael's laughter. He let himself fall forward off the arm he'd been resting on so that he could settle into Raphael's side and nuzzle his face into Raph's neck.

"You almost had me," Leo murmured as he listened to Raph's laughter die down.

"If yer gonna go that far, then I'm playin dirty next time, babe," Raph responded. He let his eyes slide shut, happy to have Leo tucked into him as he shifted his shell further into the sand.

A/N: First, I owe you guys a huge THANK YOU for your votes in the recent 2014-2015 TMNT Mature Fanfiction Competition! Stamina tied for 2nd place in the "Best Lewd Comedy" category (against freaking Hummerhouse, who has written some of my all-time favorite stories). You guys made me smile, and I hope this (albeit short) chapter made you smile as well.

Seriously, thank you guys for not only taking the time to vote, but also for your continued support for these stories. It's been a little over a year since I began actively writing in this community and I've just had the best time.

Secondly, I was recently on vacation and spotted a house that looked almost exactly like the one I had written for the Hamato family's island home – right down to the color! I took a picture, which I'm sorry you can't see here on FF. However, I'm posting it with this chapter on the archives site, and I also posted it on my tumblr account (Reader115 on both sites if you want to see the house and tell me I'm not crazy).
