Chapter five:
I blink awake for a few moments trying to figure out what woke me up. I glance down only for Leo to freeze at seeing that he woke me up. I realize that he was trying to slip out without waking me. I loosen my grip though Leo doesn't move further away. "Morning." I greet and he gives me the same greeting.
We lay together for a little longer before getting up and heading to the kitchen. We find Leonardo already in there making some tea.
I guess getting up early is a Leo thing.
Leonardo turns as we walk further in before Leo sits on a chair at the table. "Do you guys want to do a morning practice with us? While you're here in our world?" He offers really getting our attention. "You don't have to if you don't want to. It's just an idea."
I glance to Leo trying to judge how ready he is for this. I know it'll most likely be nothing like what we've been doing for practice, I'm the sense that they probably wouldn't be looking for the signs thus going harder.
"We can try it. If the others say no I won't force them to join."
"Well I'm joining." I inform Leo a little proudly. "Gonna show up everyone with my skills!" I try to lighten things up which does seem to work as Leo chuckles slightly.
"Typical Raph." Leo gently punches my arm very clearly trying to be gentle with it.
I just smile through it since I know it's because Leo doesn't want to hurt me. I understand especially since things kinda got resurfaced due to coming here. "You know I'm going to win."
"I don't doubt you for a second." Leo smiles at me making my own smile grow.
I don't get a chance to respond as Raphael enters the kitchen. I turn as he grabs a cup of coffee that was brewing in a machine. My eyes briefly meet his when he turns. I swear I can see something brief sparkle in his eyes that is familiar to me. I watch him as he doesn't really say anything and just leaves the kitchen. I glance to Leo as he and Leonardo start up a conversation. I hear them discussing the best way to make tea so I decide that right now he'll be okay. I leave the kitchen which Leo does seem to notice though lets me do so. I hear sounds in the dojo so I head over. I peek inside finding Raphael having chugged his coffee and is now hitting the punching bag. I approach causing him to stop and turn to me.
"Why are you here?" Raphael questions to me. "Shouldn't you be by your Leo?"
"He's fine." I inform him. "He's talking with your Leo right now. I figured we could maybe talk. We probably only have a little bit of today before we head back. Not much time to talk to myself." I know I should start off easy as I know myself and he'll leave if I get straight to it.
Raphael does seem to possibly have some denial left in him after all. "Fine." He snorts so the two of us settle down on the mats to talk. "Look. I know what you're doing. I know myself. You're going to dance around what you actually want to talk about until you think you can slip it in there. Just be a fucking man and let's talk about it. Neither of us are going to be leaving until we fucking do." He insists so I decide to go along with it.
"Fine. I think you should be honest with your feelings and express them." I tell him to which he stares at me. "You could be surprised to find that it'll be worth it in the end."
"You're talking like you've already done it." Raphael tries though I know his game. He's trying to push it back towards me so he can kind of avoid it.
"I did." I confirm to him which gives him pause. "And it turned out great. I know our circumstances are a bit different however I saw that look in your eyes."
"Okay!" Raphael cuts me off from saying anything more. "And how can you even be sure that it'd go as smoothly in this world? Like you said our circumstances aren't the same. Plus your Leo behaves a bit differently than mine does. If you haven't noticed yours has lost his confidence."
"I am well aware of that. However you can't expect things to be the same considering what we've went through." I point out to him knowing that he knows this. "He'll regain his confidence in time. The healing for all of us has really only just begun. However that doesn't change that you should try with yours. I know you want to."
"And how can you guarantee that it'd go so well?" Raphael questions almost seeming like he thinks he's got me on this.
"You're delaying. Maybe I'll take him out and maybe we'll run into someone else that might be more willing." I smirk at him as he glares at me at this.
"Fine! You win!" Raphael gets up to his feet. "Get your Leo out of there."
"Okay! No more being a pussy!" I agree and head towards the kitchen feeling proud as Raphael growls at me. I enter the kitchen finding the two Leo's sharing tea together. I catch Leo's eye and he seems to pick up that there's something important. I nod to the way out which he nods and follows me.
Leo glances to Raphael who barges into the kitchen while we leave. "Whatd you say to him?" He inquires looking to me as we head to the living room.
"I just worked some magic." I inform him feeling rather proud of myself.
Leo does seem to catch on to what I mean.
We turn noticing that Donnie is starting to stir. We let them slowly wake up to give the two time to get it done.
In the kitchen...
Raphael stands in front of Leonardo who has been watching him. "We need to talk."
"What's on your mind Raphael?" Leonardo calmly inquires before waiting for the other to speak again.
"Well I wanted to tell you something important. I guess I should have said something sooner." Raphael begins only to feel a warmth at seeing Leonardo cutely tilt his head curiously. "Well... I..." He finds his nerves try to hold him back though he tries to power through it. He takes a deep breath. He refuses to be a pussy. "I have been wanting to be more than I should want to be with you. Leo... I wanna be mates with you." He waits after that confession. He expects Leonardo to be angry probably even disgusted. He blinks in surprise when Leonardo kisses him. He lets his eyes meet the others when said other pulls back from the sudden kiss.
"I want that too." Leonardo admits blushing a little.
Raphael grins and wraps his arms around Leonardo sharing another kiss with him.
The two enjoy the moment between themselves. They pull away sharing a smile between each other with Leonardo leaning into Raphael's embrace.
"Finally!"
The two jump and turn to find Donatello standing in the entryway.
Donatello is smiling as if glad that things finally worked out.
"Finally?" Leonardo questions as Donatello walks further in going for the coffee machine.
"We've all been waiting for you two to finally admit what's between you two." Donatello explains while making some coffee. "We all saw it and I almost started to wonder if you'd ever admit it."
Raphael and Leonardo share a glance with each other at this. They hadn't even realized that the others had noticed their attraction.
"Oh yeah. Sensei said whenever you two finally decide to do something about your attraction, yes even he noticed it, that he wants to do some special training with you." Donatello adds as he waits for the coffee to finish brewing.
Leonardo and Raphael are a little curious about what the training will fully be. They know it'll be about fighting as a couple, though aren't sure how Splinter plans to do such a training.
"Say. Are our guests joining us in morning training?" Donatello inquires pouring himself a cup of black coffee, as usual.
"Leo and Raph said they would. The others might." Leonardo informs Donatello who nods to this.
"Cool." Donatello goes quiet to drink his coffee.
"Do you know if Mikey, our Mikey, is up?" Leonardo inquires laying his head on Raphael's shoulder.
"I'm not sure but honestly probably not." Donatello admits with a shrug. "I'll go get him. We should be having breakfast. I'll send the others in too."
"Guess I'll start breakfast." Raphael lightly shrugs before looking to his mate. "And Leo."
"Let me guess no touching the toaster." Leonardo almost groans though Donatello does it anyways.
"Please don't touch it." Donatello leaves even with Leonardo's eyes on him, plus with Raphael's chuckles.
In the living room...
I notice Donatello leave and approach us. "Everything all good in there?"
"Yup. You can go in. I'd suggest getting some breakfast, our Raph is making it, if you are joining morning training. You're always free not to." Donatello glances at all four of us over before taking a sip of his coffee. "Coffee is made if anyone wants it."
"We'll decide individually if we'll join today. We can do more mandatory training after getting home." Leo responds to which Donatello nods his head.
The others do seem to understand why Leo would come to this decision.
After breakfast we all head the dojo to do the training.
Leo slightly glances back though Splinter doesn't join them. He clearly supposes the other saw them all go in together and doesn't want to bring up bad memories. He turns away letting it go.
"You know we don't get the chance everyday. Probably never again in fact." Raphael cracks his knuckles with an evil smile across his face. "I wanna see what my other self has got."
I smirks at this. "Fine. You're on."
We all move to watch as us two Raphs get into position.
Leonardo acts as the referee for this spar. "No weapons." He tells us which doesn't bother either of us. "Go." He gives the signal and Raphael charges.
I watch Raphael's movements as he charges towards me. I shift as if about to defend myself from the incoming attack. I wait until the last moment before leaping away to the right. I spin around as Raphael skids to a stop. I leap at my other self's back almost knocking him down.
Raphael manages to stay standing just barely though. He throws his body back using how far down I had managed to get him to add more power.
I let go leaping away landing smoothly. I see Raphael spin around clearly ready to attack. I get an idea and carefully move around the left side with a slight curve. My movements are just fast enough to make Raphael adjust more than before. I am so going to win this. I won't let myself be taken down by my other self. I slow my movements enticing Raphael into an attack.
It works as Raphael charges. He makes an adjustment clearly ready for me to leap away. He'll be able to make quicker adjustments this way, even already planning to charge where he thinks I will end up.
I slow to a stop letting the other get closer and closer. I manage to dodge the attempt to grab me and I kick the others legs. I slink around getting behind Raphael to try to push him down right after kicking his legs. I manage to get Raphael to the ground but the other isn't going down easy. I find myself being tossed backwards as Raphael uses his strength to push quite hard upwards. I can already feel the other shifting in order to pin me. I know my fall will be fine as the dojo is made for even these types of things. I have doubts that I can prove myself stronger than Raphael. I'm going to have to be more smart. I try to ignore any connection between this fighting smart and being smart to kill Splinter. I let him get me onto my back so I can shift my legs while he thinks he's got me. I get my feet into a good position just in time. I slide my feet under his body as he goes to pin my hands. I push hard throwing him off balance. I surge upwards pushing him down onto his back holding his shoulders. I make sure to land between his legs, so unless he plans like I did it'll be hard to get away.
Raphael glares at me as he tries to look for a way out of this.
I hold him down using minimal movements when he takes a swing at me.
"Damn it! You're not winning this!" Raphael growls and I instantly realize his tactic. He's trying to rile me up so I'll make a stupid move.
I've got more self control, from having to hold back to hide that I knew, than Raphael thinks I do. I ignore the attempt and just keep him held down.
"That's it Raphael. You lost." Leonardo calls it to which Raphael looks to him with wide eyes.
"What!? It's too early to call it!" Raphael complains turning back to me as I move to get off of him.
"It is what it is Raph. You've clearly lost." Leonardo tells him calmly causing the other to huff at him.
"Wow!" Michelangelo approaches me as I make it to my feet. His eyes slightly shining. "That was pretty cool! You managed to use more strategies than force! Even ignoring the taunt!"
"Just using your fighting moves and strength won't always lead to victory. Sometimes fighting more cleverly is what you have to do. There was no way we were really going to go anywhere competing over brute strength." I see interest in Michelangelo as if I have new knowledge to share.
"Raph would almost never even think to fight like that!" Michelangelo admits before Raphael, who is now standing, snaps at him.
"Hey! I fight just fine!"
I slightly glance away from Michelangelo, and I do see some thoughts going through Donatellos mind. I don't know what he's thinking about but whatever it is he's looking over evidence for it. I turn spotting from the corner of my eye Raphael heading towards Leo. I watch things as Leonardo also turns.
"Man. I'm still pumped!" Raphael admits giving a slight smirk at Leo. "How about you try to win against me?" He clearly would enjoy winning against Leonardo... Even if it's another version of him. "No weapons." He attempts to get Leo to agree to the idea.
"Raph, maybe thats not a good idea?" Michelangelo tries to tell Raphael in a worried tone.
"It's just a spar. It's fine." Leo assures Michelangelo moving to take position.
Raphael hurries to get into position as well.
As I walk out of the way I deliberately pass by Leo giving him a small glance. I see him glance at me assuring me that he'll be fine. I go to the sidelines putting my trust in him.
Leo and Raphael are soon in the right positions to begin the spar.
Leonardo lets this happen seeming to be putting trust in Leo's decision to do this. "Go."
At first neither charge as clearly Raphael is attempting to put some strategy in, clearly thinking that Leo could have tricks up his sleeve.
Leo is the first to make a move and swiftly charges for Raphael. He uses a skid to adjust where he's about to strike when Raphael moves only enough to not be in the strike zone. He throws a punch at Raphael who leans to dodge it before knocking his hand away. He moves a step back to give him enough time to adjust his stance. He throws another punch which Raphael blocks. He moves to the right to dodge a kick from the other before using the small window of opportunity. He does a quick duck and spin sweep with his left foot taking out Raphael's one leg; before the other has the chance to put his other leg back down. He lunges from the crouched position tackling Raphael as he falls.
Raphael waits for them to fall onto the ground before he tries to flip them.
Leo tries to roll them again before Raphael can get a good position to pin him. He finds the other manages to resist him enough so he'll have to use another tactic. He distracts Raphael with leg movement as if he's going to push him off. He then swings a punch hitting the other before wiggling out of the hold with that moment that Raphael's grip loosened. He swiftly gets to his feet charging Raphael as he also tries to get to his feet. He almost gets Raphael knocked down but the other managed to dodge in time.
Raphael swings a kick getting Leo's shell though Leo manages to stay standing.
Leo spins around to face Raphael swiftly in the stance to attack.
Raphael throws a punch that's deflected by Leonardo who then kicks at the hot heads side.
I see Raphael manage to catch Leo's leg where he pulls him to throw him off balance.
Leo tries to not lose his balance, or at least for long enough to give Raphael a chance to make a move. He swings a punch while trying to pull his leg away from the others grip.
Raphael's grip is pretty good on his leg.
I clench my teeth trying to not let my eyes stray to where Raphael has Leo. My mind bringing up an image of our Splinter gripping Leo to hurt him.
Leo does a jump spinning to which he kicks Raphael's side to make him drop him. He lands on his back but is pretty swift at flipping to get to his feet.
I hope Leo can end this soon. I want him to win and prove to everyone he's still amazing, the amazing turtle I know.
Raphael charges seemingly letting his aim for victory momentarily cloud his judgment.
Leo spots it too and, while I'm sure either way Raphael is talented, this might be the needed opportunity. He charges as well dodging to the right just before they'd collide. He spins around pushing Raphael down while he's in the middle of charging still. He gets him down and after a bit of a struggle, mainly with insistent attempted punches, he manages to pin Raphael down.
"You lose Raphael." Leonardo informs Raphael who clearly isn't happy about this.
Leo gets off and I know he did win... But it wasn't perfect so he might look for us Splinter saw him not be perfect.
I start to head towards Leo when I notice a figure enter the room. I turn to see Splinter who seems to have an idea. I'm not sure what it is however I can tell he thinks it'll help. I let him go by but do keep a close eye on what's going on.
Leo freezes staring at Splinter before quickly relaxing to hide that he's scared; scared about the punishment our Splinter would have given for not being perfect.
Splinter reaches out moving not too quickly. I start heading over worried about what's going on.
Leo closes his eyes expecting something bad to happen.
We both pause when Splinter just gently places a hand on Leo's head, rubbing it softly with affection and care.
Leo opens his eyes blinking in surprise at this as he looks to Splinter.
"You did very well. Both of you did. I am proud of all you did. Perfect or not that was great." Splinter tells them offering a kind smile.
I can see Leo trying to contain his emotions though his eyes are starting to water. I'm not sure if he can really keep it together in this moment. I am proven right as some tears fall from Leo's eyes.
Splinter doesn't seem upset or bothered by this as his smile turns comforting.
Leo shifts his hands to do his best to wipe away his tears.
I head over putting my arm around Leo finding Donnie and Mikey quickly joining.
Leo wipes away a few more tears and gives us a smile to try to assure us that he's okay.
"Why don't you four take a small break?" Splinter suggests before glancing to the others. "Michelangelo and Donatello lets see how you've been improving by a spar."
I bring my siblings, and mate, to the sidelines where we can take a breather watching Donatello and Michelangelo spar. I keep my one arm around Leo who is working on getting his tears to stop falling.
At least the attention has been diverted away to the spar now.
I can't help wondering if Splinter did that on purpose to try to not overwhelm Leo. I think he did, which I am appreciative of. I move one hand to wipe away one of Leo's tears. I'm not too worried since I can tell that these tears come from good emotions.
It probably meant so much to genuinely hear from the one who raised us, or well another worlds version of him, that he was doing good no matter if he screwed up at all. Words he was supposed to hear a long time ago, ones I have a feeling he's wished our worlds version had said instead of saying cruel things.
I pull Leo close letting him rest his head on my shoulder. I glance to the spar letting my mate relax a bit.
Michelangelo attempts to throw Donatello down to pin him, only to find that the other manages to shove him upwards making him get off said other long enough for him to roll.
Donatello quickly gets to his feet once out of the way where Michelangelo lands.
I turn away as Michelangelo gets to his feet managing a dodge since Donatello charged. I gently rub Leo's arm which helps him relax a little more currently.
Leo's eyes flicker up to me blinking those beautiful sapphires so cutely at me.
I offer him a smile which he does look grateful for.
His eyes tell me he'll be ok.
I decide that if he wants we can talk about that moment alone together later.
A loud thud causes us to turn back to the spar finding that Donatello is victorious.
"Well done both of you." Splinter nods his head indeed looking proud. "Your training is coming along very well." He adds as Donatello lets go of Michelangelo allowing them both to get up. "I think that'll be good for today. Let's all take a break. Enjoy a little of today at least." He suggests which everyone agrees.
I head off to just outside of the lair, not going far, with Leo so we can talk. I sit with him next to me and our hands joined. "Do you want to talk at all?"
"I'm ok really." Leo assures me with a smile. "It felt really nice to actually hear that from him... Even though it isn't him technically... I don't fully understand how I can hate our worlds version, yet kind of wish I was hearing that from him." He wraps one arm around his legs staring off ahead. "It feels nice to not have him around."
"Whether or not we hate him doesn't mean he didn't raise us. Despite the despicable things he did. I think you just wanted a father figure who didn't always treat you so horribly. Then suddenly you had it."
"And ended up almost completely sobbing like a child right then and there." Leo groans while I chuckle for a moment.
"Don't worry man. Everyone understands. No one was judging you I promise." I nuzzle his cheek gaining an appreciative churr. I tilt my head just as he turns to me allowing our lips to meet.
Our kiss is passionate as we lean closer to each other. We pull away once we start to need air. Our half open heated gaze look at one another locking our gazes.
"Should we really be doing this?" Leo whispers almost as if the very idea is forbidden. "Here?"
"Further into the tunnels." I suggest moving the hand not holding his to wrap around him. "We can find our way back afterwards."
Leo nods despite his cheeks blushing.
We get to our feet and hurry further into the tunnels. We finally stop at the perfect spot.
I manage to quickly pin Leo against the wall with our mouths quickly back together. I only remove the parts of our gear that needs to be taken off. I know that we should do this quick before someone comes to try to find us. I rub myself against him causing us both to moan softly, and even drop down as we quickly get excited over each other. I pull away from the kiss getting a whine as Leo tries to follow me. I chuckle warmly a little. "Don't worry Leo. Despite that this one will be fast you'll like what comes next. Maybe when we get home we can have a proper round." I spit into my hand once I'm done talking. I reach my hand down rubbing the saliva onto my cock. I smirk as I see Leo's hard cock twitch with interest as he watches me. I line my cock up with his entrance thrusting in. My eyes looking to his face instead of what I'm doing.
Leo moans a little louder as I penetrate him. He does show some pain though quite a bit of pleasure.
I stop once I'm fully inside of him. I wait a few moments and take his squirms as my cue to move. I pull out until it's only my head inside then thrust back in. Repeating this motion over and over again getting moan after moan from him. I let my thrusts get faster and faster with each thrust.
Leo's hands can't find something to grab onto on the wall so they quickly go to my shoulders. He gently squeezes while I fuck his brains out.
I catch his lips with mine in another kiss that he is all too happy to participate in. I purposefully aim for his sweet spot to ensure that he will cum rather quickly.
Leo's so tight around me it feels amazing! He arches his body into mine with his hips moving to try to move with my thrusts. He doesn't have the right angle in order to really keep up with the pace I'm going, it's just cute that he's at least trying.
I groan into his mouth when he slightly tightens as I stroke his sweet spot.
Our mouths remain together though our lips don't move in a kiss, as we lose ourselves to the pleasure of this moment.
I stroke his sweet spot drawing him closer and closer to orgasm. I can feel his body gaining small shudders as he draws close. I do listen to his sounds through my own pleasure haze, in a mix of liking the sounds and making sure I'm not just overstimulating him. I don't notice anything so I just let myself enjoy the sounds he's making.
Leo finally cries out into my mouth, his body tightening around my cock as he cums.
I can't hold back as Leos so tight I feel every tiny twitch. I call out into his mouth as I cum deep inside of him. I hold myself with my cock buried as deep inside as I can, trying to not let a single drop escape at least not yet.
We come down from our high pulling our mouths away where we share a smile.
"Lets get cleaned up and head back. Before they come looking for us." I suggest seeing Leo nod looking pretty compliment and blissful now. I'm thinking I might need to do that more as he looks pretty cute when he's like this. I don't want to try to control him or brainwash him. I just want to make him feel good and happy.
Leo's good emotion faces tend to be some of the best looking he ever gets, which is impressive since he's already pretty good looking.
Oh I can't wait to get home and give Leo a proper mating session.
