Raph groaned as he sat down on the bed. He and his brothers had just returned from their nightly patrol. While normally on top of things, Raph was out of sync tonight. Thankfully, his brothers didn't notice. If they did, they didn't say anything. The reason he was out of sync was sleeping in the bed next to him.

Jaymie, or Jay, was Raph's girlfriend. He had saved her from the Foot when his brothers were captured by Shredder five months ago. Evidently, she had been born with the ability to control metal, and the Foot wanted that. After she had helped him free his brothers, she had helped them defeat Shredder, suffering a blow in the process.

Raph reached out, gently tracing the scar that ran from her left cheek to her chin. It hadn't done any permanent damage, but the scar would remain. Jay said she didn't mind, and Raph thought it made her look tougher… and more beautiful. And that, was the problem.

'Why the heck would someone as beautiful as her love someone like me?' He sighed, resting his head in his hands. 'I can't give her a normal family. She would never be able to walk down the street with me like all the other couples. She-'

"Raph?" A soft voice snapped Raphael from his thoughts. Turning to his right, he saw Jaymie sit up, rubbing her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Her green eyes narrowed in disbelief.

"Right." Her black-and-red hair shook as she sighed. "Baby, c'mon. What's bothering you?" The name broke Raph.

"Why?" Jaymie tilted her head. "Why did you choose me when you could have any guy in the world?" Jaymie's eyes widened.

"What are you talking about?" Raphael groaned, throwing his head back.

"You're beautiful, extremely talented, smart, an amazing fighter, and-" A pale hand clamped over his mouth stopped him. Jaymie sat up, shifting till she was sitting on Raph's lap. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, letting her hands hang limply.

"Are you really asking what I think you're asking?" Raph snorted, turning his head away. "If that's all that you're worried about, then I'll tell you. Now listen up, cause I'm only saying this once.

"You're not the first the guy that's ever said he loves me, but you are the first that's ever really meant it." Raph glanced at her, still not fully facing her. "The second anyone find out about my gift, they threw me away like yesterday's garbage. But you didn't.

"You accepted it. You encouraged it. You trained it, for crying out loud, even though you had no idea how to. But not only that, you accepted me. You saw who I was on the inside, regardless of outward appearance or abilities."

"But what about-"

"I'm getting to that, oh impatient one." Despite his best efforts, Raph couldn't resist a smirk. "You're strong, probably the strongest thing on the planet aside from forged steel, you've got a temper that would make Natsu look like an angel, and you work your shell off in training." Jaymie smiled, resting her forehead on his.

"But, deep down, you love your family with your whole heart. You're willing to go to lengths that most wouldn't in order to keep them safe." Jaymie closed her eyes, pressing into Raphael slightly. He responded, wrapping his arms around her waist as he laid back. His carapace sunk into the mattress, with Jaymie resting on his chest.

"It's the inside that matters to me, Raph." Her fingers gently played with his bandana tails. "Although, it doesn't hurt that you're a super awesome turtle ninja. Your scars, your skin, everything about you… it's what makes you you." Jaymie sat up, resting her forearms on Raph's plastron. "I love you, Raphael, scars and attitude and appearance and all. I have ever since we met."

Raph looked up in awe at the angel laying on him. Her eyes shone in the low light, and her voice dripped in sincerity. Lifting a hand, he gently fingered her short locks, letting the black-and-red strands fall through his fingers. She smiled, leaning down to kiss him. Shifting his hand from her hair to her neck, Raph held her there, closing his eyes.

He felt it all wash away. The worry, the fear… none of it mattered. Jaymie loved him, and him alone. She said it herself. She didn't care about appearances. What she cared about… was the heart.

That was the one thing Raphael was sure of, if he was sure of anything. He had given his heart to the lovely maiden currently lip locked with him. In return, she had given hers to him. And he was never letting her go… not so long as he lived.
