(A/n: the funny part about this story is that it was only gonna be a short two-shot, but now 61 chapters and still rolling-39 more to go) Warning: There's a Raph/Laila moment in this chapter, there's one because my friends who read this story are literally obsessed with Raph/Laila(their actual OTP)-you don't like Tcest, skip this chapter..or don't.
As soon as they arrived in the lair, Laila just ran to her room and stayed locked in there, refusing to come out even when Mikey offered her a giant cheesecake. Laila was on her bed, crying into her pillow. She just had to watch her father fall off a building, right in front of her own eyes. She couldn't get his last words out of her head no matter how hard she tried. She hugged the chibi doll that her father got her for her birthday tighter. Now, it was over. Her family was broken-for good. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock.
"Laila? Babe? it's me."
"C-Come in." Raph opened the door and shut it before sitting on the bed next to Laila. He was about to hug her when she beat him to it, tackling him and crying on his plastron. He blinked in surprise and rubbed her back.
"I just c-can't b-believe he's g-g-gone…" The tears were pouring down her cheeks as she cuddled more into Raph. He made sure it was still just them before he leaned down and gave Laila a kiss on the cheek, making her freeze in surprise as she pulled back and looked up at him. He merely lifted her chin up with his finger and kissed her. Laila immediately kissed back, wrapping her arms around his neck as they changed position so Laila's back was on the bed and Raph was above her, neither pulling away from the kiss. They only pulled away when they both got a lack of breath.
"Raphie?"
"I...I lo-...I love you dammit." Laila smiled, her eyes glazing over with love as she saw him look away, his cheeks were a dark dark red. She flipped them over so she was on top of Raph as she cuddled into him, giggling.
"We've been dating for how long and you're still shy to say that?"
"...Quiet." She smiled and snuggled into him more, yawning quietly.
"Night Raphie."
"..night. Love ya."
"You too." Laila fell asleep, not having to worry about anyone since the hotheaded turtle was right there.
