Talking and laughing nonstop. Leo on the other hand was ignoring the conversation as he was trying hard to keep his anger in. The two were constantly treating him like he was a delicate flower. Which just pissed him off all the more. He was very well still a boy and he was half tempted to strip himself of everything and head for home. \n\n[i]‘The figure was supposed to last up to two hours Donnie said. It’s been about how long? Ten. Fifteen. Twenty five. About thirty minutes.’[/i]\n\nLeo huffed and slumped his shoulders. Great, he still had about an hour and half left of this stupid figure. Leo was for sure, never going to play truth or dare again. \n\n Donnie smiled and held Leo up by the arm. \n\n“Come on Leo. You’re a lady. Ladies don’t slump.” He instructed. Mikey snickering on the other side of him. Leo growled lowly and flashed Don a very displeased frown. \n\n“I can do whatever the fuck I want Donatello.” Mikey tsked.\n\n“Leo, ladies never curse.” Leo shut his eyes closed and counted to ten in his head. Why did they have to torture him so? Sure, he pushed them way above their limits in training just a couple days ago, but that was instructions from Master Splinter. Yeah, he instructed Mikey it was his day to do the dishes, but that has been their daily schedule ever since they were seven. Okay and he grounded Don from working in his lab, but that was his fault. Being so involved in his inventions caused him to slack in physical shape. Leo was only doing what was best for them, keeping things in order.\n\nHe groaned, his head hanging low as he gawked at the ground. \n\nAnd that was exactly why they did this. He could have guessed it sooner. Why had he been so stupid? He was just surprised Raph didn’t get in on the act, he was sure he bossed him around just as equally as Don and Mikey. He started cursing to himself in hushed tones but the two turtles next to him could well hear it.\n\n“Now Leo. We didn’t dress you up as a women just for you to act like a man.” Mikey proclaimed professionally. \n\n“I [i]am[/i] a man. You only dressed me up like this just to get revenge didn’t you?” He looked at his two brothers beside him and he could see the mischievous smirks plastered on their faces and he glared.\n\nOnly a few more minutes past before there walk had finally stopped. Leo leaned against the beam of a water tower. His arms crossing over his chest. \n\n“Okay, let’s work on your voice now.” Mikey’s cheerful tone cut through the quietness of the city.\n\n“My what?” Leo looked at him as if he just lost his head.\n\n“Do you know how weird it is? Looking at you as a girl and a male voice coming out.” Leo grumbled and turned away.\n\n“You are not going to make me talk like a girl. I’ve put up with this much. That’s quite enough.” He demanded strictly. Mikey giggled and grabbed Leo’s hand, spinning him around and dipping him low. Leo gasped at the move, he may have been taller than Mikey but that orange masked ninja knew how to make him feel small. He pushed on Mikey’s chest trying to get away. Redness slowly appearing on his cheeks. \n\n“Let me go, Michelangelo.” \n\nMikey smirked. “See little lady? Your voice has already raised quite a bit.” Don laughed.\n \n“Come on Leo. Be a sport. Just this once?” The genius turtle smiled wild and hopeful. God, Leo hated it when his brothers got this way. With one strong push he managed to slip out of Mikey’s grasp. \n\n“Alright fine. Just this once!” He pointed to the two turtles with a warning glare. The two smiled wide and nodded. \n\nDon grinned and walked up to Leo. \n\n“Okay. I want you to go from low and slowly move to high.” Leo stared before he sighed exasperatedly. He cleared his throat and the notes gradually made their way out of him from low to high. Somewhere when he thought he couldn't go much longer Don finally spoke.\n\n“Right there. Stop.” Leo did as he was told and held the note. “That will be your girl tone. Mikey?” The leaf green turtle nodded in agreement. Leo’s eyes widen.\n\n“Are you kidding!? I can’t talk that high!? I would lose my voice in a couple days!” He complained. Mikey smiled.\n\n“Now Leo, only in that tone you may talk.” Leo snarled and was about to attack Mikey till Don’s arms had gripped under his and thrusts him backwards.\n\n“Oh come on, it’s not that bad. You won’t have to talk that much anyway. Now just try to say something.” Leo glared at the two before he yanked himself out of his genius brother’s grip.\n\n“What should I say?”\n\n“Anything.”\n\n“I hate you two.” The words came out high and girly like. Despite how angry he was and how growly his voice became. The new voice was successful. Don grinned and wrapped his arm around Leo’s shoulders.\n\n“See? That wasn’t so bad.”\n\n“You can’t---“ His voice turned low again and he was immediately cut short by his youngest brother.\n\n“High voice.” Leo glared but did as instructed.\n\n“You can’t seriously expect me to talk like this?” The two brothers giggled at their accomplishment.\n \n“Of course we do. That’s what’s fun about it.” Mikey walked up first to Leo and made a gentlemanly bow. “Would my lady care for a dance?” He teased. Leo rolled his eyes before smirking. He made a lady like bow back. \n\n“Of course.” He spoke softly. The two getting into position as they spun around the roof top. The orange masked ninja not being able to stop laughing. Donnie had grabbed his T-phone and put on the music loud, setting it aside. Leo smiled innocently and stepped on one of Mikey’s toes purposely. The turtle yelped. He tried to ignore but his other foot was next stepped on. It continued that way for a while before Mikey immediately pushed Leo away.\n\n“Okay, I can’t stand it. You’re a horrible dancer Leo.” He whined and collapsed on his rear to the ground. Holding his aching feet. Leo laughed. Don giggled.\n\n“You know Leo. If you’re going to be a girl you should have a women like name.” Leo looked shocked at his younger brother.\n\n“You leave my name alone. First my look. Then my voice. And now my name!?” He snapped angrily. Don shrugged. \n\n“Fun and games, Leo.”\n\n“Well I don’t want to be a part of it.” His arm crossed over his chest and he glared darkly. \n\n“Please Leo?” Mikey embraced his older brother tightly. With those same puppy eyes and his voice slightly higher and begging. Leo growled.\n\n“That’s not going to work again.” He gripped tighter and rubbed his forehead against Leo’s neck making soft whimpering sounds.\n\n“Pleeeaasssee~” Leo grumbled. \n\n\t“Fine.” He scooted back against the water towers beam and crossed his legs. “Got any ideas?” Don smiled at Mikey who took out a piece of paper from his belt pocket and unfolded it. “You guy’s seriously already made out names?”\n\n\t“Of course. We came prepared. We listed some names starting with L. You can choose which one you like.” Leo rolled his eyes and sighed. Nodding for them to start.\n\n\t“Alright, how about Loren?” Leo shook his head. Not really wanting to listen.\n\n\t“Larissa?” Another shake.\n\n\t“Lexi?” Another.\n\n\t“Loretta?” And another.\n\n\t“Linette?” Leo grumbled and shook his head once again.\n\n\t“Oh, how about Lyrica?” The mint green turtle glanced over at Don. Then Mikey. Then back at Don before a small smile spread across his face.\n\n\t“That one doesn’t sound too bad.” The olive skinned reptile grinned.\n\n\t“Lyrica it is.” Mikey smiled. “We’ll call you Lyric for short.” Leo rolled his eyes and leaned against the beam. His eyes closing as he took in the feeling of the night breeze blowing past his body that was turning sore. Not noticing that Don and Mikey had placed themselves right beside him. Either that or didn’t care. The less he cared of the situation the better for him. \n\n\tLeo had stayed in his happy place for God only knows how long. Concentrating on staying calm and carless and for the most part, it worked. He hardly herd whatever his little brothers were discussing. He eventually though, opened his eyes to view the dark sky above him. His youngest siblings continuing their conversation on the other side of the water tower. With a smile he pushed himself up from the ground and walked over to the other side of the roof. He glanced back at Don and Mikey before he hopped to the next roof top. He hadn’t anywhere to go so he decided to wander a bit.\n\n\tThe little time he had to himself was pleasurable, but as all good things they must come to an end. He stopped right in his tracks as he came face to face with his third youngest. Raph had leapt from the building over to where Leo was and as soon as his eyes landed on him his feet froze to the ground. Leo gasped and immediately backed up and bounded behind a wall. He could not have Raph see him like this.\n\n\tRaph stared at where Leo had once been before he slowly and carefully started walking in that direction\n. \n\t“Hello?” He called. \n\nLeo shook where he stood and looked around himself. He stealthy leapt across the building and hid in the shadows. He was lucky enough Raph had not noticed. Taking a breath he backed up and collided with another plastron. Swiftly turning around he sighed in relief when it was only Don and Mikey.\n\n\t“Is Raph here?” Mikey’s bright smile got Leo to shiver.\n\n\t“Yeah, come on guys. We should go now.” Leo was just about to walk away till his wrist was grabbed a hold of.\n\n\t“No. Not yet. I want to try something.” With a nervous sigh he looked over at Mikey.\n\n\t“What could you possibly want now?” Both his little brothers had mischievous smiles on their faces which Leo hated.\n\n\t“Well how about we experiment with Raph. You’ll go over there and introduce yourself and see if he recognizes you.”\n\n\t“Mikey, I’m his brother. I’ve lived with him since baby hood. Of course Raph would recognize me.” Mikey smiled.\n\n\t“Dudette, I didn’t even recognize you after all this. Despite I was there for the transformation. Like I said before this is all fun. . .”\n\n\t“And games. I know. I know.” Leo finished with a displeased grumbled. “You don’t seriously think I’m going to go as far as deceive my brother into thinking there’s a female mutant turtle in the world.” Mikey giggled and wrapped his arm around Leo’s shoulders.\n\n\t“This isn’t deceiving, Leo. This is just a little experiment. Afterwards we’ll spill the truth and everything will be all right. This is just a harmless prank.” Leo sighed and glanced down at Raph who was still searching for him. He looked back at the two who were still smiling those smiles he despised. \n\n\t“There really is no arguing about this is there?”\n\n\t“Nope.” Don said cheerfully. “Don’t worry Leo. Everything will be fine.”\n\n\t“Or should I say Lyric?” Mikey said jokingly. Leo sighed and nodded. Just one little act and he’ll spill who he is. Hopefully not getting a weeks’ worth of injury’s from it. He turned and was about to walk away till something had made a slapping sound and his rear started stinging. His eyes widen. His youngest just spanked him! He looked over his shoulder, delivering a murderous look to Mikey.\n\n\t“I [i]will[/i] get you back for this Mikey. If it’s the last thing I do.” His voice turned low and growly and Mikey just grinned.\n\n\t“Girl voice Lyric. Don’t forget the girl voice.” With a scowl, he turned back to his true task. Leaping back to the roof he was previously on. He snuck from the shadows to the wall and peeked past the corner. He took a nervous shaky breath and slowly emerged from his hiding place. He rubbed his arm awkwardly. [i]‘Be a girl. Just this once.’[/i]\n\n\tHe peeked up slightly and found Raph’s reaction somewhat amusing but he thought better than to laugh.\n\n\tRaph was frozen in his stance as he stared wide eyed to Leo. \n\n\t“Y-You’re a girl.” Leo looked up the rest of the way and bit his lip. He had no clue if Raph knew it was him or not. He took a small step forward. He hesitated before speaking.\n\n\t“Yes. I am.” He spoke in his high voice. He didn’t think it was possible, but Raph’s eyes grew wider.\n\n\t“Who are you?” Leo’s grip on his arm was clenched so tightly he swore he cut off the circulation. He smiled his sweetest smile he could muster up.\n\n\t“My name is Lyrica. You can call me Lyric.” Raph continued to stand in his pace, clearly still flabbergasted. “A-And you are?”\n \n\t“I’m uh. . . I’m Raphael.” Leo smiled and stepped slightly closer.\n\n\t“Well, it’s a pleasure Raphael.” \n\n\t[i]‘Just think girl. You have no clue who this guy is.’[/i] He continued to remind himself. Raph blinked several times. Leo licked his dry lips and slowly raised his hand to him. Raph looked at Leo then at the offered hand then back at Leo. Leo could see his whole arm was shaking uncontrollably as he struggled to raise it up. Their hands touching. \n\n\t[i]‘Don’t crush his hand. Light, gentle touches.’[/i] He closed his fingers around Raph’s hand and smiled. \n\n\t“Where did you come from?” The emerald turtle asked.\n\n\t“Not too far from here.” He answered easily. He wasn’t entirely prepared for so many questions. He could hopefully muster up enough information to satisfy Raph’s curious mind.\n\n\t“Were you born?” \n\n\t“Now. Now. I hardly know you.” Leo started to slowly pull away, “I should go.” Raph immediately gripped on his wrist and Leo looked shocked to him.\n\n\t“Wait, please don’t go.” Leo gulped the lump from his throat and nodded. He glanced over his shoulder, hoping to catch a glance at Donnie and Mikey. To his distress and surprise, they were no longer on the roof. He tried to look around but they weren’t anywhere in sight. \n\n\t“Something wrong?” Leo turned back to Raph and shook his head. \n\n\t“N-No. Nothing is wrong.” Raph gave a half smile and pulled Leo slightly to him, the mint green turtle couldn’t help the bright blush that showed up on his cheeks.\n \n\t“R-Raphael, I hardly know you.” Raph chuckled.\n\n\t“Call me Raph.” \n\n\t“R-Raph.” Why was he so shy? This was his own brother for peats sake! He should be able to talk to him so easily. Leo took a breath and smiled at Raph. The red masked ninja of course started to gradually ask him questions and Leo would make up stuff, trying to make his fake back story sound believable. Why was he doing this? Why couldn’t he just tell Raph who he was? Every time he attempted to speak the truth he just ended up continuing the conversation that he was slowly starting to relax and enjoy. \n\n\tHe wouldn’t know how much time has passed as him and Raph continued to talk about random things. He just couldn’t stop, and he had to admit it was fun to tell Raph things he only wished could happen. It was only until his T-phone started to buzz when he snapped out of it. He was so grateful he turned the phone on silent. He reached over and shut it off with the button. Don and Mikey were just across the building behind Raph waving over to him. Leo didn’t know why, but he didn’t want to leave. He was going to shake his head but when Don started pointing to his waist he knew what he was talking about. An hour had past and he could slowly feel his waist starting to release.\n\n\t“Um. I really got to go now Raph. It was nice talking to you.” He pushed himself up from the ground and dusted off his outfit. Raph followed him with a frown on his face.\n\n\t“Do you really have to go?” \n\n\t“I’m afraid I must.” He smiled and held out his hand to Raph who responded with resting his hand in Leo’s.\n \n\t“Maybe we can talk again?” He suggested. Raph grinned.\n\n\t“Tomorrow?” Leo smiled and nodded. He gave Raph’s hand a tight squeeze before another buzz went off in his belt and he immediately separated from Raph with a wave and took off till he was out of sight of his third youngest brother. What had he done? Tomorrow!? He promise Raph to talk tomorrow!? With a growl and a shake of his head his cursed bitterly.\n\n\t“Hey Leo. That looked like it went well.” Leo glared at Mikey.\n\n\t“I’m meeting him tomorrow.” His voice turned back to normal. That had made the orange clad terrapins smile to turn into a grin. \n\n\t“You Lyric, have a date with Raphie boy~!?” Leo snarled. \n\n\t“No I don’t. And it’s not a date.” Donnie snickered.\n\n\t“Wow, you actually fooled Raph so well. How’d you manage it Leo?” The sapphire eyed turtle just glared darkly and walked past the two without any details to spare. The two were whining and begging but this time he wouldn’t give in. If he was going to have a date. Or a hangout he’d prefer to call it, with Raph. He wasn’t going to tell anyone about it.\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Chapter 3-

\tLeo’s arms was hooked around both Mikey’s and Donnie’s. Talking and laughing nonstop. Leo on the other hand was ignoring the conversation as he was trying hard to keep his anger in. The two were constantly treating him like he was a delicate flower. Which just pissed him off all the more. He was very well still a boy and he was half tempted to strip himself of everything and head for home.

‘The figure was supposed to last up to two hours Donnie said. It’s been about how long? Ten. Fifteen. Twenty five. About thirty minutes.’

Leo huffed and slumped his shoulders. Great, he still had about an hour and half left of this stupid figure. Leo was for sure, never going to play truth or dare again.

 Donnie smiled and held Leo up by the arm.

“Come on Leo. You’re a lady. Ladies don’t slump.” He instructed. Mikey snickering on the other side of him. Leo growled lowly and flashed Don a very displeased frown.

“I can do whatever the fuck I want Donatello.” Mikey tsked.

“Leo, ladies never curse.” Leo shut his eyes closed and counted to ten in his head. Why did they have to torture him so? Sure, he pushed them way above their limits in training just a couple days ago, but that was instructions from Master Splinter. Yeah, he instructed Mikey it was his day to do the dishes, but that has been their daily schedule ever since they were seven. Okay and he grounded Don from working in his lab, but that was his fault. Being so involved in his inventions caused him to slack in physical shape. Leo was only doing what was best for them, keeping things in order.

He groaned, his head hanging low as he gawked at the ground.

And that was exactly why they did this. He could have guessed it sooner. Why had he been so stupid? He was just surprised Raph didn’t get in on the act, he was sure he bossed him around just as equally as Don and Mikey. He started cursing to himself in hushed tones but the two turtles next to him could well hear it.

“Now Leo. We didn’t dress you up as a women just for you to act like a man.” Mikey proclaimed professionally.

“I am a man. You only dressed me up like this just to get revenge didn’t you?” He looked at his two brothers beside him and he could see the mischievous smirks plastered on their faces and he glared.

Only a few more minutes past before there walk had finally stopped. Leo leaned against the beam of a water tower. His arms crossing over his chest.

“Okay, let’s work on your voice now.” Mikey’s cheerful tone cut through the quietness of the city.

“My what?” Leo looked at him as if he just lost his head.

“Do you know how weird it is? Looking at you as a girl and a male voice coming out.” Leo grumbled and turned away.

“You are not going to make me talk like a girl. I’ve put up with this much. That’s quite enough.” He demanded strictly. Mikey giggled and grabbed Leo’s hand, spinning him around and dipping him low. Leo gasped at the move, he may have been taller than Mikey but that orange masked ninja knew how to make him feel small. He pushed on Mikey’s chest trying to get away. Redness slowly appearing on his cheeks.

“Let me go, Michelangelo.”

Mikey smirked. “See little lady? Your voice has already raised quite a bit.” Don laughed.
 
“Come on Leo. Be a sport. Just this once?” The genius turtle smiled wild and hopeful. God, Leo hated it when his brothers got this way. With one strong push he managed to slip out of Mikey’s grasp.

“Alright fine. Just this once!” He pointed to the two turtles with a warning glare. The two smiled wide and nodded.

Don grinned and walked up to Leo.

“Okay. I want you to go from low and slowly move to high.” Leo stared before he sighed exasperatedly. He cleared his throat and the notes gradually made their way out of him from low to high. Somewhere when he thought he couldn't go much longer Don finally spoke.

“Right there. Stop.” Leo did as he was told and held the note. “That will be your girl tone. Mikey?” The leaf green turtle nodded in agreement. Leo’s eyes widen.

“Are you kidding!? I can’t talk that high!? I would lose my voice in a couple days!” He complained. Mikey smiled.

“Now Leo, only in that tone you may talk.” Leo snarled and was about to attack Mikey till Don’s arms had gripped under his and thrusts him backwards.

“Oh come on, it’s not that bad. You won’t have to talk that much anyway. Now just try to say something.” Leo glared at the two before he yanked himself out of his genius brother’s grip.

“What should I say?”

“Anything.”

“I hate you two.” The words came out high and girly like. Despite how angry he was and how growly his voice became. The new voice was successful. Don grinned and wrapped his arm around Leo’s shoulders.

“See? That wasn’t so bad.”

“You can’t---“ His voice turned low again and he was immediately cut short by  his youngest brother.

“High voice.” Leo glared but did as instructed.

“You can’t seriously expect me to talk like this?” The two brothers giggled at their accomplishment.
 
“Of course we do. That’s what’s fun about it.” Mikey walked up first to Leo and made a gentlemanly bow. “Would my lady care for a dance?” He teased. Leo rolled his eyes before smirking. He made a lady like bow back.

“Of course.” He spoke softly. The two getting into position as they spun around the roof top. The orange masked ninja not being able to stop laughing. Donnie had grabbed his T-phone and put on the music loud, setting it aside. Leo smiled innocently and stepped on one of Mikey’s toes purposely. The turtle yelped.

“You leave my name alone. First my look. Then my voice. And now my name!?” He snapped angrily. Don shrugged.

“Fun and games, Leo.”

“Well I don’t want to be a part of it.” His arm crossed over his chest and he glared darkly.

“Please Leo?” Mikey embraced his older brother tightly. With those same puppy eyes and his voice slightly higher and begging. Leo growled.

“That’s not going to work again.” He gripped tighter and rubbed his forehead against Leo’s neck making soft whimpering sounds.

“Pleeeaasssee~” Leo grumbled.

\t“Fine.” He scooted back against the water towers beam and crossed his legs. “Got any ideas?” Don smiled at Mikey who took out a piece of paper from his belt pocket and unfolded it. “You guy’s seriously already made out names?”

\t“Of course. We came prepared. We listed some names starting with L. You can choose which one you like.” Leo rolled his eyes and sighed. Nodding for them to start.

\t“Alright, how about Loren?” Leo shook his head. Not really wanting to listen.

\t“Larissa?” Another shake.

\t“Lexi?” Another.

\t“Loretta?” And another.

\t“Linette?” Leo grumbled and shook his head once again.

\t“Oh, how about Lyrica?” The mint green turtle glanced over at Don. Then Mikey. Then back at Don before a small smile spread across his face.

\t“That one doesn’t sound too bad.” The olive skinned reptile grinned.

\t“Lyrica it is.” Mikey smiled. “We’ll call you Lyric for short.” Leo rolled his eyes and leaned against the beam. His eyes closing as he took in the feeling of the night breeze blowing past his body that was turning sore. Not noticing that Don and Mikey had placed themselves right beside him. Either that or didn’t care. The less he cared of the situation the better for him.

\tLeo had stayed in his happy place for God only knows how long. Concentrating on staying calm and carless and for the most part, it worked.

Raph had leapt from the building over to where Leo was and as soon as his eyes landed on him his feet froze to the ground. Leo gasped and immediately backed up and bounded behind a wall. He could not have Raph see him like this.

\tRaph stared at where Leo had once been before he slowly and carefully started walking in that direction
.
\t“Hello?” He called.

Leo shook where he stood and looked around himself. He stealthy leapt across the building and hid in the shadows. He was lucky enough Raph had not noticed. Taking a breath he backed up and collided with another plastron. Swiftly turning around he sighed in relief when it was only Don and Mikey.

\t“Is Raph here?” Mikey’s bright smile got Leo to shiver.

\t“Yeah, come on guys. We should go now.” Leo was just about to walk away till his wrist was grabbed a hold of.

\t“No. Not yet. I want to try something.” With a nervous sigh he looked over at Mikey.

\t“What could you possibly want now?” Both his little brothers had mischievous smiles on their faces which Leo hated.

\t“Well how about we experiment with Raph. You’ll go over there and introduce yourself and see if he recognizes you.”

\t“Mikey, I’m his brother. I’ve lived with him since baby hood. Of course Raph would recognize me.” Mikey smiled.

\t“Dudette, I didn’t even recognize you after all this. Despite I was there for the transformation. Like I said before this is all fun. . .”

\t“And games. I know. I know.” Leo finished with a displeased grumbled. “You don’t seriously think I’m going to go as far as deceive my brother into thinking there’s a female mutant turtle in the world.” Mikey giggled and wrapped his arm around Leo’s shoulders.

\t“This isn’t deceiving, Leo. This is just a little experiment. Afterwards we’ll spill the truth and everything will be all right. This is just a harmless prank.” Leo sighed and glanced down at Raph who was still searching for him. He looked back at the two who were still smiling those smiles he despised.

\t“There really is no arguing about this is there?”

\t“Nope.” Don said cheerfully. “Don’t worry Leo. Everything will be fine.”

\t“Or should I say Lyric?” Mikey said jokingly. Leo sighed and nodded. Just one little act and he’ll spill who he is. Hopefully not getting a weeks’ worth of injury’s from it. He turned and was about to walk away till something had made a slapping sound and his rear started stinging. His eyes widen. His youngest just spanked him! He looked over his shoulder, delivering a murderous look to Mikey.

\t“I will get you back for this Mikey. If it’s the last thing I do.” His voice turned low and growly and Mikey just grinned.

\t“Girl voice Lyric. Don’t forget the girl voice.” With a scowl, he turned back to his true task. Leaping back to the roof he was previously on. He snuck from the shadows to the wall and peeked past the corner. He took a nervous shaky breath and slowly emerged from his hiding place. He rubbed his arm awkwardly. ‘Be a girl. Just this once.’

\tHe peeked up slightly and found Raph’s reaction somewhat amusing but he thought better than to laugh.

\tRaph was frozen in his stance as he stared wide eyed to Leo.

\t“Y-You’re a girl.” Leo looked up the rest of the way and bit his lip. He had no clue if Raph knew it was him or not. He took a small step forward. He hesitated before speaking.

\t“Yes. I am.” He spoke in his high voice. He didn’t think it was possible, but Raph’s eyes grew wider.

\t“Who are you?” Leo’s grip on his arm was clenched so tightly he swore he cut off the circulation. He smiled his sweetest smile he could muster up.

\t“My name is Lyrica. You can call me Lyric.” Raph continued to stand in his pace, clearly still flabbergasted. “A-And you are?”
 
\t“I’m uh. . . I’m Raphael.” Leo smiled and stepped slightly closer.

\t“Well, it’s a pleasure Raphael.”

\t‘Just think girl. You have no clue who this guy is.’ He continued to remind himself. Raph blinked several times. Leo licked his dry lips and slowly raised his hand to him. Raph looked at Leo then at the offered hand then back at Leo. Leo could see his whole arm was shaking uncontrollably as he struggled to raise it up. Their hands touching.

\t‘Don’t crush his hand. Light, gentle touches.’ He closed his fingers around Raph’s hand and smiled.

\t“Where did you come from?” The emerald turtle asked.

\t“Not too far from here.” He answered easily. He wasn’t entirely prepared for so many questions. He could hopefully muster up enough information to satisfy Raph’s curious mind.

\t“Were you born?”

\t“Now. Now. I hardly know you.” Leo started to slowly pull away, “I should go.” Raph immediately gripped on his wrist and Leo looked shocked to him.

\t“Wait, please don’t go.” Leo gulped the lump from his throat and nodded. He glanced over his shoulder, hoping to catch a glance at Donnie and Mikey. To his distress and surprise, they were no longer on the roof. He tried to look around but they weren’t anywhere in sight.

\t“Something wrong?” Leo turned back to Raph and shook his head.

\t“N-No. Nothing is wrong.” Raph gave a half smile and pulled Leo slightly to him, the mint green turtle couldn’t help the bright blush that showed up on his cheeks.
 
\t“R-Raphael, I hardly know you.” Raph chuckled.

\t“Call me Raph.”

\t“R-Raph.” Why was he so shy? This was his own brother for peats sake! He should be able to talk to him so easily. Leo took a breath and smiled at Raph. The red masked ninja of course started to gradually ask him questions and Leo would make up stuff, trying to make his fake back story sound believable. Why was he doing this? Why couldn’t he just tell Raph who he was? Every time he attempted to speak the truth he just ended up continuing the conversation that he was slowly starting to relax and enjoy.

\tHe wouldn’t know how much time has passed as him and Raph continued to talk about random things. He just couldn’t stop, and he had to admit it was fun to tell Raph things he only wished could happen. It was only until his T-phone started to buzz when he snapped out of it. He was so grateful he turned the phone on silent. He reached over and shut it off with the button. Don and Mikey were just across the building behind Raph waving over to him. Leo didn’t know why, but he didn’t want to leave. He was going to shake his head but when Don started pointing to his waist he knew what he was talking about. An hour had past and he could slowly feel his waist starting to release.

\t“Um. I really got to go now Raph. It was nice talking to you.” He pushed himself up from the ground and dusted off his outfit. Raph followed him with a frown on his face.

\t“Do you really have to go?”

\t“I’m afraid I must.” He smiled and held out his hand to Raph who responded with resting his hand in Leo’s.
 
\t“Maybe we can talk again?” He suggested. Raph grinned.

\t“Tomorrow?” Leo smiled and nodded. He gave Raph’s hand a tight squeeze before another buzz went off in his belt and he immediately separated from Raph with a wave and took off till he was out of sight of his third youngest brother. What had he done? Tomorrow!? He promise Raph to talk tomorrow!? With a growl and a shake of his head his cursed bitterly.

\t“Hey Leo. That looked like it went well.” Leo glared at Mikey.

\t“I’m meeting him tomorrow.” His voice turned back to normal. That had made the orange clad terrapins smile to turn into a grin.

\t“You Lyric, have a date with Raphie boy~!?” Leo snarled.

\t“No I don’t. And it’s not a date.” Donnie snickered.

\t“Wow, you actually fooled Raph so well. How’d you manage it Leo?” The sapphire eyed turtle just glared darkly and walked past the two without any details to spare. The two were whining and begging but this time he wouldn’t give in. If he was going to have a date. Or a hangout he’d prefer to call it, with Raph. He wasn’t going to tell anyone about it.
