Things are starting to change~","writing":"Chapter 5-\n\n\tThis time, things have changed a lot in the lair. Starting with Leonardo’s lack of training and gain of gawking. This past week had been nothing but filled with business. Mikey and Donnie had finally relieved him of his bet with their satisfied smiles and a thank you. Leo had of course, scowled bitterly at them. They owed him big time and he was going to use whatever breaks he had to think up of a good way for them to repay him back. \n\n\tThough it hadn’t been that awful of a week if Leo actually sat down and thought about it. No it hasn’t been too torturous. The female look has grown enough on him that he no longer felt uncomfortable just sitting in the same spot for five minutes. He had hated the thought and cursed himself continuously for even considering the thought of liking the look. He could easily adapt female just because he was trained from toddler hood to adapt to any situation quickly. At least, that was his excuse.\n\n\tThe three mischief-makers only denied him of it and Leo ignored them with great pleasure. He could believe whatever he wanted to and that would satisfy him easily. Casey, Master Splinter, and Raph had never been the wisest of what he did on his patrol time much to his relief. But he was lucky enough to have gained a few break nights when Master Splinter demanded that they go all together and Donnie and Mikey had no other choice but to spare Leo a night. Just as much, Raph didn’t look any more pleased with the idea then he did, which was quite amusing if you were one of the ones who knew of the cause of his younger brothers behavior. \n\n\tHowever, the truth had never spilled from Leo’s lips when he had his time alone with Raphael. He would panic and often the words he slowly start to form with lack of confidence generally drifted into the next sentence of his fake life. He felt disappointed with himself, but he just couldn’t help the feeling of regret if he ever told Raph anything. Not only would there be blistering curse words attacking him, but the fact he would probably never see another smile from Raph that he caused. Even though he knew very well it wasn’t him that caused it, it was Lyric. \n\n\tNevertheless Leo had had enjoyed his time with his younger brother, if he could even still have the heart in him to continue to call him that with what he does nightly. Leo could see what was happening; if he stared hard enough into Raph’s emerald eyes he could see there was much changing from friendliness to something more, and as Leo had feared it, he was changing himself. \n\n\tHe knew it was all a matter of time before things would crumble at his feet. Sinking far too deep into this situation for him to be able to do anything about it now. It now had depended on him watching and waiting. \n\n\n\t\n\tLeo leaned against the dojo’s door. His third younger sibling has been training from early morning, and it has been this way all week. Leo was always the first up but to his surprise Raph was the next only a few minutes later. He would catch him wandering out of his room and into their training area. Beginning his katas and working through them almost flawlessly that Leo just couldn’t help but gape.\n\n\tHe hadn’t seen Raph this calm and focused on his training in such a long time it was almost alien to him. He knew Raph had the capability to be able to control his actions with ease but if it wasn’t necessary his moves would immediately turn impatient and clumsy. He didn’t have the time to count how many gray hairs on Splinters fur Raph’s inpatients had turned it.\n\n\tLeo forgot how long he’s been standing there, he lost track after fifteen minutes. He couldn’t get his feet to move or pry his eyes away. He had marveled at Raph with eyes he never knew he had till now. He was quite impressed, that much he knew. There was something else to. Something he couldn’t put his finger on. Either that or he didn’t want to. \n\n\tLeo studied each of Raph’s moves. Each kick, spin, punch, leap, etc. He contemplated the many scars that had been marked from their past battles. Each one they had won, but not without leaving its permanent mark to remind them day by day what they had gone through. Raph was the most battle scarred turtle out of all of them. Leo had once thought it was because the red clad ninja would always jump into a fight without thinking carelessly. But now that he’s bothered to take a second look, there was much more meanings to Raph’s actions than what he had concluded. Such as, love, determination, and protection. The strength he possess when it comes to those three things were remarkable to say the least and Leo was almost glad he dressed up as a girl to figure that out. He saw a side of Raph he never thought in his life time he would be able to see. It was soft, gentle, loving, and caring and it was all pointed to him. \n\n\tThe mint green turtle frowned. If only Raph could see it was him, and continue with it without a care. Leo shook his head, there was no way that could happen. Raph was obviously falling for a female mutant turtle named Lyric. Not a male mutant turtle named Leonardo who he had been raised with since babyhood. \n\n\tHe sighed, he had to face the facts sooner or later.\n\n\t“Something catch your eye?” The sudden voice that cut through his thoughts caused Leo to jump. He stared at Raph for couple minutes before he shook his head with a lazy smile.\n\n\t“Sorry, just got caught up in my thoughts again. I came down here to train and saw you. You looked pretty good.” Raph gave a smug smirk and shrugged.\n\n\t“How come you never present your katas to Splinter like that before?” The emerald turtle grabbed a towel and wiped his forehead free from sweat.\n\n\t“I don’t know. The peace just never came to me like it does in the early mornings.” Leo nodded his head understandably. He very well knew what Raph meant, that was mostly the reason he was the first to wake up. It was peaceful.\n\n\t“You won’t tell Splinter about this, right?” Leo looked over to Raph behind his shoulder as he grabbed his weapons.\n\n\t“Of course not. Though I don’t see why not.”\n\n\t“Because, he’ll expect more from me. He’ll want me to do everything calm, peaceful, and perfect like I did in my mornings, but it’s almost impossible to do it any later. I don’t know, I just can’t.” Leo frowned and rested his hand on Raph’s shoulder and gave a tight squeeze.\n\n\t“He’s only trying to look after you and help you improve.”\n\n\t“I understand that, but some of these things I just can’t offer him like he wants me to. It’s like he expects so much more than I can provide right away. You know what I’m saying?”\n\n\tWith a nod Leo smiled softly. “I get what you’re saying completely Raph.” Raph looked to his eldest brother with a smile.\n\n\t“Thanks Leo.”\n \nThe sapphire eyed turtle just wanted to throttle Raph for that smile he gave him. He felt his knees buckling and he struggled to keep himself up right and stoic. He had to remember, he was boy right now and can’t just throw himself in Raph’s arms and giggle girlishly. That would need a lot of explaining to follow after. \n\n“Um, Leo? You okay?” Raph's voice again snapped him out of it.\n\n“Yeah sorry.”\n\n“You tend to get distracted a lot don’t you.” \n\nLeo chuckled. “It’s early morning. What can I say?” Raph laughed. \n\n“Good thing Master Splinter wasn’t here or he would have your head for being this distracted.” Leo knew that was true. He had actually did get caught a couple of times from the old rat during his private training. His thoughts again wandering to the only thing that could seem to occupy his mind anymore, and that was of the person who was next to him at this second. \n\n“What exactly does your mind go to Leo? Don’t tell me you’re dreaming of Captain Ryan again.” Raph teased with a smirk. Leo giggled awkwardly. [i]“You! You big lug!” [/i] He so badly wanted to answer, but he thought better than to do that.\n\n“I can’t help it. He’s amazing.” Raph rolled his eyes.\n\n“He isn’t that great. He’s a fictional cartoon character. If anything you should be fantasying about the guy with the imagination to make something like him up.” Leo scowled and stuck his tongue out at him.\n\n“You have no appreciation for the finer things.” Raph laughed and shook his head. \n\n“Whatever you say Leo.” Leo smiled as he watched Raph turn around and take out his wraps and entwine the cloth around his hand. He walked over to the punching bag and gave it a few swings and Leo stood in his place, gawking at each powerful attack. Gazing at the muscles that tightened at each assault and loosened at a pause. Raph was indeed gifted with a very nicely shaped body. \n\nWith a groan, Leo rubbed the space between his eyes and shook his head. He had to get out of here - before he ended up doing something he would regret. \n\n. . .\n\n\tRaph had made himself comfy on the living room couch as the television flickered different channels every time he pressed the button on the remote in his hand every few minutes. \n\n\tIt had only been a couple hours before him and Leo had their little episode and the mint green turtle suddenly fled out of the dojo without any hint of reason why. It had confused him, but he just chose it was better than to follow him and start up an interrogation that would surely turn into a burning fight. In fact, now that he was thinking about it, he and Leo hadn’t had a real fight in weeks that the thought almost surprised him but instead he shifted slightly in his spot. He glanced over at Leo who had placed himself beside him not but five minutes ago and he hadn’t done anything to show he cared in the slightest. Which he didn’t. Why should he care that his eldest brother was sitting with him on the same couch . . . really close to him actually. . . He would have laughed out loud if he wasn’t in control of his actions at the moment. His mind couldn’t have possibly wandered to that subject. He would have had to lose all his wits before he would consider that idea. It was ridiculous. \n\n\tRaph snorted and chuckled to himself which got Leo’s head to turn his direction.\n\n\t“Something amusing?” He asked curiously. He wouldn’t have questioned it except that they were watching football at the moment and he didn’t really see anything amusing about it. Raph smiled and looked to Leo.\n\n\t“Nope, nothing. My imagination is just trying to run away with me.” Leo would have smiled but his head decided to cock to the side in confusion. What could Raph had possibly be thinking about that got him to chuckle? It wasn’t that big of an event but Leo just couldn’t help but wonder what Raph thinks about in these particular moments. Shaking the situation off, he turned back to the tv.\n\n\tRaph smiled as he watched Leo. He looked bored out of his mind at this moment and that was part of the reason of him being in such a good mood. It was very comical seeing Leo like this.\n\n\t“Would you prefer it if I changed the channel?” He asked. Holding up the remote in offer. Leo glanced at him before shaking his head.\n\n\t“Only if you want to.”\n\n\t“You look bored to death Leo.”\n\n\t“I am. But I have nothing better to do with my time now.” That was a first. Since when did the mighty leader of their clan ever have nothing to do? He either meditated for hours. Trained for more hours. Took a nap. Ate. Or read in his room. Maybe Leo needed something new to do. Without asking for permission he started flipping through the channels.\n\n\t“What are you doing? You were watching that?” He protested. Raph giggled and ignored him. He finally settled the channel on Leo’s favorite tv show, space heroes. Leo’s eyes widen and his jaw dropped as he stared at Raph.\n\n\t“You put on Space Heroes!?”\n\n\t“Well I’ve had the television for almost an hour to myself. I don’t think watching just a little bit of it would hurt.” Raph smiled when he saw Leo’s pout light up in a wide grin. He couldn’t help but feel he has seen that sweet wide happy smile before. Shaking his head swiftly from those thoughts. He snuck a few peeks over at Leo just for the heck of it. He never really took in the sites of his brother too much, moments like these were the only times he really paid attention to the likeness of him, and thank goodness that Leo was too engulfed into his show to even notice. \n\n\tRaph’s eyes wandered to Leo’s chin, the part that always seems to stick up in the air every time he’s ordering around. He went farther up to Leo’s jawline. It was a fairly smooth curve in his face, not too strong. His sights turned to Leo’s smile. Right now it was wide that he was surprise his face hadn’t split in two yet. With a chuckle he looked farther up along Leo’s cheekbones that was sharp and strong, but they all had sharp cheekbones. He moved to Leo’s eyes. He smiled at those beautiful sapphire orbs of his. Raph didn’t know why, but he always found Leo’s eyes attractive. They always sparkle when he was happy or turn dangerous when he was mad. If he was to reply so bluntly, those two blue gemstones were just lovely. \n\n[i]\t‘Whoa!? What the hell!?’[/i] With a shake of his head, he rubbed his temples and closed his eyes with a grunt. Leo had glanced over at Raph for a split second.\n\n\t“Got a headache Raphie?” He asked with a smirk, his voice turning higher. Raph’s eyes snapped open in shock. What was Lyric doing here!? He looked up to Leo in astonishment. Leo frowned and when he realize what he just did he forced himself to stay calm. \n\n\t“Raph? You okay?” He asked again, coughing so his voice turned lower. Raph stared at Leo for minutes and the mint green turtle was starting to get worried if he had just blew everything. The hand that was resting on the arm rest tightened and he was surprised his fingers hadn’t ripped through the fabric yet. Raph grunted and shook his head. \n\n“Yeah I’m okay,” He answered. “Just really tired.”\n\n“Then perhaps you should rest a bit?” Leo suggested. Raph nodded in agreement, pushing himself up from the couch he headed to his room. Rest was exactly what he needed, a small nap in the middle of the day wouldn’t hurt. Possibly from all that training he did early in the morning before training with Splinter tuckered him out terribly. He wasn’t Leo who was so used to it to the point he had an internal alarm clock in him.\n\n\tHe was tired, that was it. He was starting to imagine things. He must really miss Lyric to imagine that Leo was her. Cause that was impossible. Leo wouldn’t have been able to magically grow breasts and form a figure. He would have laughed at himself but they never came out, he glanced behind him to find Leo had taken up his side of the couch with his legs. No there was absolutely no way Leo could ever be a girl. He was too much of a boy for that. \n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Chapter 5-

\t“Well I’ve had the television for almost an hour to myself. I don’t think watching just a little bit of it would hurt.” Raph smiled when he saw Leo’s pout light up in a wide grin. He couldn’t help but feel he has seen that sweet wide happy smile before. Shaking his head swiftly from those thoughts. He snuck a few peeks over at Leo just for the heck of it. He never really took in the sites of his brother too much, moments like these were the only times he really paid attention to the likeness of him, and thank goodness that Leo was too engulfed into his show to even notice.

\tRaph’s eyes wandered to Leo’s chin, the part that always seems to stick up in the air every time he’s ordering around. He went farther up to Leo’s jawline. It was a fairly smooth curve in his face, not too strong. His sights turned to Leo’s smile. Right now it was wide that he was surprise his face hadn’t split in two yet. With a chuckle he looked farther up along Leo’s cheekbones that was sharp and strong, but they all had sharp cheekbones.  He moved to Leo’s eyes. He smiled at those beautiful sapphire orbs of his. Raph didn’t know why, but he always found Leo’s eyes attractive. They always sparkle when he was happy or turn dangerous when he was mad. If he was to reply so bluntly, those two blue gemstones were just lovely.

\t‘Whoa!? What the hell!?’ With a shake of his head, he rubbed his temples and closed his eyes with a grunt. Leo had glanced over at Raph for a split second.

\t“Got a headache Raphie?” He asked with a smirk, his voice turning higher. Raph’s eyes snapped open in shock. What was Lyric doing here!? He looked up to Leo in astonishment. Leo frowned and when he realize what he just did he forced himself to stay calm.

\t“Raph? You okay?” He asked again, coughing so his voice turned lower. Raph stared at Leo for minutes and the mint green turtle was starting to get worried if he had just blew everything. The hand that was resting on the arm rest tightened and he was surprised his fingers hadn’t ripped through the fabric yet. Raph grunted and shook his head.

“Yeah I’m okay,” He answered. “Just really tired.”

“Then perhaps you should rest a bit?” Leo suggested. Raph nodded in agreement, pushing himself up from the couch he headed to his room. Rest was exactly what he needed, a small nap in the middle of the day wouldn’t hurt. Possibly from all that training he did early in the morning before training with Splinter tuckered him out terribly. He wasn’t Leo who was so used to it to the point he had an internal alarm clock in him.

\tHe was tired, that was it. He was starting to imagine things. He must really miss Lyric to imagine that Leo was her. Cause that was impossible. Leo wouldn’t have been able to magically grow breasts and form a figure. He would have laughed at himself but they never came out, he glanced behind him to find Leo had taken up his side of the couch with his legs. No there was absolutely no way Leo could ever be a girl. He was too much of a boy for that.
