Out of his Shadow  Chapter 10

Raphael had kept his words, letting Leo have few days to himself relaxing and spending the time as he liked. Raphael instead has spend his own time alone in his room and Leonardo had respect his masters wish of being left alone but later his curiosity got the best of him and Leo sneaked behind Raphaels door.

Silently pushing the door open just a bit to be able to see inside, first thing what Leonardo noticed was small light from candles in Raphaels room and his brothers bodys figure sitting on the floor. Holding his breath Leo kept his eyes on their target realizing Raphael was sitting in lotus pose which caught him by a surprise. Leonardo had never seen Raphael meditate outside of those few rare hours what they had spend with master Splinter in the past meditating with him and he certainly hadnt expect Raphael to meditate after those session. Despite this surprise Leonardo couldnt hold back his smile what kept going on spreading on his face as he silently closed the door, allowing his master meditate in peace.

Later that day Raphael had come and find Leonardo from the small garden near by the place where they were staying, asking his older brother to follow him since they still had some training to do and Leonardo had very good guess what kind of training it would be. When the door of dojos opened in front of him and his blue eyes saw that familiar pole there, his head turned on Raphaels direction who once nodded at poles direction.

You know the thing.

Sighing once Leonardo took his katanas off, placing them on the floor near by the door, walking closer to pole before jumping to stand on it with one foot. After he was ready with his pose Raphael handed shoulder weight to him, reaching to take his long branch from the corner, tapping it against his palm few times. Gaining his balance Leo gave nod to a master of his who nodded back starting slowly to walk around him, suddenly giving hard hits with the branch all around his body.

Every hit made Leo jerk a bit but he had improve a lot and that focused look in his eyes what were locked on the painting right across him on the wall made Raphael smile with proud. Leo had learned so much and he was learning even more. After hours of training his toes and feet finally met with the floor of dojos when Raphael had announced their training was done for now but it kept on going in the next few days.

After all those days and intense training Leonardo stood calmly in front of his master who walked all around him, keeping his eyes on him like a hawk on its prey. Insulting and slapping his brother as much as he could Raphael was giving the final test to see where his brother was mentally with his anger and his happiness had no limits when Leonardo stayed all calm, cool and cold. He paid no mind to the pain or anger anymore and that was what had been Raphaels goal all along.

Excellent, Leonardo. You have achieve your goal and I have mine. Smiling widely Raphael stopped in front of his brother, placing his warm hand on Leos cool shoulder. You have come a long way and despite the fact I wasnt always nice or fair to you, I must say Im very proud of you.

Receiving such praising from his master made Leos lips turn into smile as he bowed slightly.

Thank you, master. I appreciate your effort and time what you have spend on me.

Hmh, you better. You were damn hard-headed.

Hearing chuckle from Raph made Leo chuckle as well since he knew exactly what Raphael meant since he had seen it during his life how hard-headed Raphael could also be.

So what now, master?

Now, my loyal general, we go enjoy some well deserved meal. After all this is our last day here so we should enjoy it and relax while we still can.

Leonardo nodded once as a sign of understanding as he started to follow his master out of dojo. Their path to dining room went through small and beautiful backyard and everything seemed to be just fine. Sky was blue, trees were beautiful, air was fresh and ground under their feet felt cool and nice but still Leonardo felt uneasy while keeping his eyes on Raphaels back. Something was unbalanced in one way or another. His mind kept analyzing this situation but he soon came to realize that feeling didnt come from Raphael since he was as calm and firm as ever so why? Why this uneasy feeling?

Soon there were big shadows what Leo saw from the corner of his eyes and one of them appeared right in front of Raphael. In a flash Leonardo pushed Raphael against the wall of the building placing himself between his master and intruder, blade hitting blade.

Master, stay behind me!

Leo shout while giving a look at surprised Raphael over his shoulder. Raphaels eyes stayed wide as he watched Leonardo fighting with this ninja dressed in black, slowly starting to realize the situation and the fact how Leo had been, most surely, aware of their present and how fast his general has made his way between them. Without Leonardo Raphael most surely would had got deadly hit.

Deciding to stay back and watch Raphael stood all tall watching Leonardo fighting with the ninja who seemed to me almost as skilled as his brother, while his hands slowly made their way on his sais what he always kept on his belt. Sensing 2 being behind him Raphael spun around, giving his fists greet those ninjas faces at first before attacking them with his weapons. Since these two didnt seem to be as skilled as the one who Leo was fighting against, Raphael could easily deal with these wimps.

Seeing his master being attacked by two ninjas Leo wanted to finish his fight as soon as possible but the ninja refused to give in and kept pushing Leo more further. Fighting with one katana was taking too long so Leo pulled his other katana behind his lower back and dashed toward his enemy who dodged those sharp blades when they sink in small trees trunk cutting it smoothly, air filling with falling leaves. Leos eyes followed this ninja who jumped near by the door against the wall, asking him to come there with a hand sign. Leo snarled while spitting on the ground before running after his target, pointing one blade right toward his enemy who easily jumped out of the way but he hadnt look around him carefully.

This ninja slammed against one thick wooden pillar and Leo was right at him, placing first blade against ninjas stomach and another blade he raised up in the air, ready to give one nice and smooth swing to cut off his enemys head without hesitation. However, Raphaels voice stopped him in time.

General, thats enough.
Turning to look over his shoulder, Leonardo lowered him weapon next to his body, still keeping second blade against ninjas stomach.

But, Master, they attacked you. They deserve to die.

Thats true too but you should take a look of this person first.

Confused by Raphaels words and smile Leo turned to look this ninja in front of him, slowly leaning down with reached hand, pulling the mask off. Gasp escaped from his lips as his eyes saw familiar face.

G-Goro!?

Goro smirked a little standing up with Leonardos help.

Sorry for that surprise attack but your master send me a letter few days ago, asking me to come here with few men and do surprise attack on you both. Like he said, he wanted to test you.

Not being impressed at all Leo growled while placing his swords back in their scabbards.

You could have said something. I almost killed you.

But isnt that what you are trained to do? No matter who attacks on you and your master, you have to be willing to kill the enemy without hesitation, no matter would the attacker be a friend or foe. Anyone could be a traitor like that, you know.

Yeah, I know but !? Where the other two are?!

Raphael snorted crossing his arms, nodding his head backward. Beaten and send to ER and from there to home. His golden eyes met with Goros who bowed deep to his master. Good work, Goro. You indeed are one of the elite ninjas who I can count on. Thank you for answering to my request and doing this test. You are free to go back home.

Bowing again, Goro replied; Thank you, master. It was my pleasure. Standing straight he gave glare to Leo and Raph, saying he would wait them back at Foots main building in New York. With one last bow he took off to get his ninjas and went back to New York. Watching after them Leos gaze turned on Raphaels back who walked past him, heading inside the building.

Why you did it?

Asked Goro and few of his ninjas here to test you? I couldnt had test you myself since I have been with you so long. Surprise attack like that was the best way. Hopefully you dont hate me because of it.

Of course not, master. I just I really could have killed Goro.

I know. Thats why I kept my eyes on you to make sure you wouldnt kill him.

Small smile spread on Leos face before he bowed slightly to Raph; Thank you, Master.

Hmh. Come now, we should go eat. And dont worry, theres no more surprises. Not attacks at least. Smirking at his bro in blue who looked a bit confused Raphael headed inside, Leonardo soon catching up with him.

- - - 

Leos eyes followed Raphaels every move while his brother was setting that small table to them, pouting slightly. He had offer his help to his master but he had deny it and that pissed Leo off since he felt it was his responsibility to help his master with everything if he could but at the same time he knew it must have feel uncomfortable to Raphael since, heck, what kind of adult male he would be if he wouldnt be able to or wouldnt want to do things on his own.

Finally the last plate with food was set and Raphael landed on his knees, bowing once to the food with Leo following him and they both ate long time in silent. Leos eyes kept jumping between his food and Raphael who kept his gaze locked on his food and it was a sign something was moving in his masters mind. Placing his chopsticks aside Leo coughed slightly raising his head, allowing his eyes been met by those gold orbs.

I mean not to pry but is everything okay in masters mind? It seems you have something serious going on in your head.

Hmh, you really have hawks eyes and super sense or ability to sense things and read persons, Leonardo. Theres no escape or hiding from you, isnt there?

Short chuckle escaped from his general as that adorable small smile spread wider on his face, warming Raphaels troubled heart. Leonardo still smiled in the same way as he did as a small turtle tot It brought smile on Raphaels face in turn and they both just sat there staring each others smiles.

When all dishes had been carefully emptied into their stomachs they both left the room and went out at the backyard noticing sun had already set, giving chance to stars and moon to take over the dark sky. Raphael halted crossing his arms, keeping his head bend back and eyes locked on the sky. Following his masters example Leonardo also turned his gaze up sighing deep after filling his lungs with cool night air.

If theres something what I will miss, this is the thing. Silence, peace, stars and moon.

Raphaels reply was simple nod which worried Leo who lowered his head back down, turning to look his brother worried. Of course this didnt go unnoticed by Raphael who raised his head back up, turning to look his brother.

What?

You are troubled by something, master. Im not gonna tell you to tell me but Im saying Im more than willing to listen if you wish to talk about it.

Giving small half smirk to Leo caught him off guard as Raphael turned on his heels, starting to walk away leaving Leo behind. Feeling those blue eyes on his back he made his way to his rooms door, halting. He could feel Leo was still standing at his place so taking a look at his bro Raph raised his brow, giving asking look.

Well? Are you gonna stay there or will you come inside?
Blush spread on Leos cheeks as he slowly started to walk toward Raphael, rolling his words in his mind. I-if he had understood right, Raph was willing to let him come in his room tonight instead of making him go to sleep all alone in his own room. When Leo reached his brother it was like if Raphael had read his mind and replied with smirk;

You may spend our last night here with me. But no snoring or I kick you out.

Laughing Leonardo poked Raphs cheek. Excuse me but if one of us snores, it is you, master.

Does that mean you will kick me out of my room then? Leo chuckled back at his brother who chuckled as well while opening the door.

It depends but maybe yes, if I wont find any other ways to shut you up that is.

Smirking after Leo who had smirked at him first before entering the room Raphael followed him, closing the door behind them. Entering deeper in this small one room Leo soon noticed there was only one futon closer to the back wall right in front of him and on his right side was small table with ink bottle, paper, paint brush and candle. Turning on his heels he almost hit Raphael on the nose with his head.

Hey, hey, hey, careful there. I dont need bruised nose.

My apologies, master. I was just surprised to see one futon there.

Raphael snorted as he walked past his brother, removing his cape and slowly his other clothes, placing them on the floor at the corner next to futon.

What did you expect? I sleep here alone so one futon is enough.

Leo kept following his movements blush creeping on his green cheeks as his eyes traveled on that body, sucking all curves of Raphaels body in, that pink tongues top carefully coming out between his lips wetting them and harder swallow was following the action. Raphael had already lay down but Leo could see the glow of those golden eyes when that body turned around and those eyes opened, looking straight at him. Raphaels low and very gentle voice filled otherwise so quiet room, making it sound like if the room was filled with other sleeping persons but master wanted his ears only to hear his voice.

What are you waiting for? Undress and get in here. Or were you gonna stand there on guard the whole night?

O-oh, no, master. Sorry. Leonardo tiptoed fast to Raphael after getting his gears and clothes off, placing them on top of each other right next to Raphaels clothes. Crawling next to that big green warm body under the same blanket made that blush turn stronger on his cheeks but Leo couldnt escape from the fact Raph was already aware of his heated cheeks.

Chuckling Raphael reached to touch Leos cheek, smiling with glowing eyes.

Man, are you shy?

No, master.

Then why all this?
I just I admire you so much, master. Your strong body, your will to keep training it and keep it in shape It is always such a gorgeous sight without anything on you.

Sneaky smirk spread on Raphaels face as he turned on his back, never breaking their eye contact, as he kicked blanket off on him, spreading his legs while tensing his thigh muscles, otherwise keeping his upper body relaxed as his hands sneaked under his head.

Oh so you like this package? You want to touch it? Perhaps even taste it?

M-master! Y-you shouldnt ----

Seduce you so much?

Raph easily heard it how hard Leo swallowed and he could see that slight lust in Leos eyes despite the fact Leo did his best to fight against it and hide it. Taking a firm hold on Leos hand Raph guided it on his chest, slowly on his stomach and just nearly past his most sensitive area in his groins on his thigh, moaning gently.

His hand being forced to rub Raphaels muscular thigh Leo could feel his groins starting to tingle and Raphael silently moaning right next to him wasnt helping at all. However, somewhere, Leo found the strength to pull his hand away from Raphaels hold when he felt his grip loosening a bit. Surprised slightly about Leos reaction his eyelids rose revealing his unique golden eyes what instantly locked with those bright blue eyes.

Whats the matter? Im too much for you?

I Its late, we should sleep. Those as his last words Leo pulled his hand better to himself giving his back to his brother, closing his eyes hoping Raphael would do the same. Hearing some rustling and feeling weight movement Leo felt soft and warm fabric slowly raising up on his body, finally stopping at his neck. The warmth of blanket was welcome and it lulled Leo soon to sleep.

---

His consciousness was coming back with his senses starting to slowly awake as well. First thing what he noticed was his voice and the fact he was silently whimpering and moaning, then next came the feeling of movements and the feeling of something wet and warm moving under the blanket against his WHAT?! His eyes opening fully in a flash Leo pushed his upper body up on his elbows, throwing half of the blanket off on him, seeing smirking Raphael under the blanket down between his legs.

M-MASTER!! What the hell are you doing?!

I was bored and couldnt sleep so I thought I might as well give you some satisfaction since you kept whispering my name in your sleep.

With that Raphael pressed his head back down and started to lick Leos sensitive slit area again, not giving a damn of Leos protests what turned into pleased small moans.

B-but, master Aaahh, thats A lie. I dont whisper your name in my sleep.

Heheheh, true. You werent whispering it, you were screaming my name.

Looking now annoyed with strong blush on his face Leo protested again.

I DID NOT!

Wiping some saliva off on the corner of his smile Raphael lifted his body off chuckling. He just loved that serious pouting expression on Leos face when he was teased. If there was something what Leo couldnt handle or didnt like or maybe it was better to say took personally was teasing him like this. Crawling toward Leo with a smile with hidden hint in it, Raph leaned down placing soft kiss on Leos lips.

Chill. Im just teasing since I love this cute face with pout.

Looking down between them, they both saw Raphaels hard member already and thanks to Raphaels tongue job, Leos member was now out and quite awake as well. Another look of Leos eyes told Raphael how annoyed Leo was but he couldnt stop teasing him.

Oh my, it seems we have a problem here. We better take care of it.

Raphael was very fast with his movement since in a flash he was back down between Leos groins, eagerly sucking that delicious green cock, letting his own finger get covered with his own pre-cum before taking it on his own entrance, slowly pushing his finger inside.
Moaning gently against Leos cock brought incredible pleasure feeling to his older brother who had start to moan as well, pushing his hips slightly almost every second toward Raphaels face. Man, this was so good and seeing Raph there on his knees, upper body gently against Leos thighs and ass high in the air It was arousing.

Though Raphaels pose was quite weird since Leo never hadnt seen one before. How on Earth Raph would be able to fuck him in that pose? After some minutes Raphael finally came to stop panting hard, swallowing Leos pre-cum down smirking in sly way. Raising his brow at his smirking brother Leos eyes followed him when that emerald green body came to lay next to his and he was forced on top by Raphael. Seeing confusion in Leos eyes Raphael guided his brother.

Take me. That was all what Raphael had to say for Leo to get the hint.

H-huh?! A Are you sure about that? I mean youre always on top. I have no rights to claim you. You are my master.

Shut up and take me.

But you are my master, master.

Oh shut the fuck up and fuck me! I know I am your master and you should know your master is fucking horny and wants to get his ass banged hard! So do it!

Blushing deeply at Raphaels straight words Leo found himself unable to move and get down to business which caused Raphael roll his eyes while growing frustrated.

Look, just go on with it, okay? You know how to fuck, right?

Y-yeah, I do, master but I ---

Stop. Just stop.
Placing his hands behind Leos head and pulling him down in a deep kiss, Raphael lowered his voice still keeping it gentle but firm.

I am your master, but when we are like this Call me Raph. Or Raphael. True me wants to feel l-lo-loved too, not just your master. You understand?

Chills went down on Leos spine as he heard those words and his mouth turned watery while throat turned more tight. So all this time Raphael had thought Leo loved him only as a master? Leo had been blind for not making sure Raph would know he loved him as HIM. No matter was he in his master mode or Raphael mode. But then again they really never hadnt talk about this issue. After their first time at the hot spring they had have sex once but it had been blowjob session since Leo had been too sore to do anything else. But now that he could do whatever he could to show his love to his brother, he would do it.

Leaning down Leo sealed Raphaels lips with his own, whispering gently against them; I love YOU. All of you, no matter are you my master or lover, Raphael. I love all about you.

Sigh of relief was silent but clear as the look in Raphaels eyes turned more relieved and warm.

Thats what I have been wanting to hear all along. That Im loved by you. Gently placing his hands behind Leos neck he pulled him once more in a kiss what soon escalated into one hell fervent one. While keeping Leos lips and mind occupied with kisses, Raph sneaked his hand between them finally finding a cock what wasnt his, guiding it further more down at the right spot right against his entrance. Whispering encouraging words gently and silently into Leos ear, Leo started to push his hips carefully forward and thanks to Raphaels own preparation, his cock went in quite easily.

Moans turned louder as Leo followed Raphs orders about speed, depth and position. Even while being fucked Raphael still made sure he was the one controlling things since he had work so hard for taking controls away from Leo and there was no way he would let Leo go back on that road. Sounds of watery slaps filled the room after each other over and over again as the moans mixed with each others, sweat drops shining slightly in the darker room. Pressing his forehead against Raphaels neck Leo could easily feel the fast beat of his lovers heart in veins, feeling the vibrating of that low and raspy voice and smelling the sweet scents of Raphaels sweat and pre-cum. Man, he never hadnt smell these scents before but they were absolutely arousing and maybe, just maybe, it was since this was first time when Raphael allowed himself to be fucked.

Holds turning more tight, bodies pressing harder against each other and moans turning into pleasant screams Raph begged Leo to keep holding his own orgasm since it was another control play and Raphael wanted to come first. Biting his lower lip eyes tightly shut Leo did as he was ordered hearing raspy voice repeating; Right there! Right there! Oh yesssshhhh, riiiigghhtt thereee!! With final loud scream Raphaels load spread between their bodies and it sent Leo so close to his own climax but just very barely he was able to hold himself, finally receiving permission to cum as well and how strong pleasure it was when he finally was allowed to fill his brother with his hot semen.

Collapsing on Raphaels sweaty body desperately gasping air he could hear and feel his heart slamming like a hammer in his chest but then again, it felt Raphaels heart was doing exactly the same thing and at the same time that sound was extremely soothing, forcing Leonardos eyes close.

- - - 

Waking up once again during that same night Leonardo was surprised to see light inside the room. Slowly turning his head with half opened eyes he saw Raphael sitting on his knees in front of that small table, writing something on the paper with ink and brush. Slowly sitting up and walking naked to his lover Leonardo knelt down next to Raphaels body, resting his head on that emerald green shoulder.

What are you doing? Shouldnt you be sleeping?

Couldnt sleep.

Removing his eyes from the side of Raphaels face on paper Leo noticed it was a letter what his brother was writing. A letter to who? Licking his lips once parting them Leo encouraged himself to ask that question but Raphael interrupted him.

You think he will accept us?

And who you might be talking about?

 Master Splinter.

Silence suddenly took over the room as Leo kept his surprised gaze on Raphaels slightly worried and sad eyes. Why Raphael thought such things?

You know hes dead. Been for years.

I know but I still have been writing him letters, asking him to give me signs Im doing the right thing about everything. And now I want to know what he thinks about this relationship with you. Is it something what he accepts...

Gentle small smile spread on Leos face as he moved right next to Raphaels body, pressing himself against him smiling.

You should know him better than that. Im sure he has already give us his blessing. If not, Im sure he would had done something to separate us. Also he always told us to stay together but he wasnt more specific about it that how we should stay or be together.

That comforting smile on Leos face made Raphael smile and feel better, returning his focus back on the letter writing the last sentence under Leos loving gaze; I love Leonardo. Brush gently pulled out of his hold, his eyes nailed on Leos hand when he wrote right under Raphaels sentence; And I love Raphael, father. Gently smiling to each other and pressing heads against each other, holding their bodies close one another they sat silently in the room in candle light, staring those last words in the letter.
