Mikey’s phone rang on the table and it took turtle a bit long to get to it. Seeing the caller’s name on the screen made him swallow, but be bravely lifted phone on his ear. “Hey, Raph! How’s the spa?” “Zip it, Mike. Why was our home so fucking cold? You were supposed to keep it warm for us.” “I -” “And now Leo’s sick because of it.” “Look, I’m sorry. I was going to come there to warm your house, honestly, but Don fell from the ladders the other day while building his lab. He broke his arm. And because his leg prosthesis is still under repair he can’t move anywhere if I’m not there to serve him and push him around in a wheelchair. He can’t use it with one arm, Raphael.” On the background Donatello yelled; “I still could had managed to be couple of hours by myself for you to go warm their home, Mikey!” “I couldn’t leave you.” Raphael sighed as he listened with raised eye ridges how brothers at the other end started to argue like a married couple. It started to give him a headache. “Okay, okay, enough! Mike, look, you could had at least give me a call or send me text about all this.” “And disturb your spa vacation with Leo? Not a chance, dude.” Raphael rubbed his closed eye gently. “Next time you WILL call me, okay? I’m gonna do more than just nag at you next time if this same thing happens again. Understood?” “Loud and clear.” “Good. How’s Don’s arm currently? Do you guys need me there as helping hand or something?” Donatello stole phone from Mikey while sitting on the office chair which had 4 small wheels. Don was able to use the said chair quite well with one leg. “We are good, don’t worry about us. Just stay there and take care of Leo.” “Fine. But give me a call if you guys need anything or if anything happens. I’m not fooling around.” “You are very clear about that. I promise we will call you if we need you or anything.” “Good.” Raphael simply replied before closing the phone. He was slightly pissed. Not anymore only because the house was cold, but because Donatello had broke his arm and Mikey hadn’t inform that to them either. “Raphael?” Silent and trembling whisper reached his ears from the distant. Raphael turned around in front hall, looking up on the stairs. Leonardo was standing there, slightly leaning against the decoration pole which was part of the railing. “What are you doing?!” Raphael growled as he approached the turtle, taking two stair at the time, stopping by Leo’s side, holding him carefully. “You should be in bed.” “I know, but… I don’t feel too good.” Right after that Leo’s eyes rolled backward and he went completely limp which scared the shit out of bigger turtle, who grabbed Leo better in his arms. “Leo? Leo! Shit…! Come on, babe.” Lifting Leo in his arms Raphael murmured. “Why the hell everything is happening to me now?” Taking Leo back to bed Raphael wet to collect blankets and pillows from quest rooms, piling them under Leo’s feet. Then he covered the turtle better with thick blankets, sitting and waiting by his side. Waiting was pure torture for Raphael before Leonardo finally whimpered, slowly turning his head, keeping his eyes still closed. “Leo?” Raphael gently whispered, taking a hold of his hand. “… Yeah?” Other turtle softly whispered back. He heard how Raphael growled slightly. “You fucking moron. If you would be in better shape I would hit you. You scared the shit out of me. How are you feeling?” Leonardo forced small smile on his face. “I’m sorry.” Coughing some Leonardo breathed heavily. “I feel sick… Dizzy.” Now sarcastic side of Raphael’s kicked in. Sitting back on his chair Raphael crossed arms over his chest while lifting his right leg on the left. “Oh really? I wonder why.” “Raph… Please.” “You’ve been eating and drinking so much that I can’t understand why you would feel sick and dizzy.” “You know I have no appetite.” Raphael bend forward giving strict look to Leo, knowing perfectly well Leo didn’t see it, but he sure as heck would feel and sense his energy. “Then you better start to get it back. I’m gonna go make you food and you WILL eat it. Or I force it down in your throat.” Leonardo laughed slightly with coughing. “You are… so charming.” ** Raphael sat by the bed feeding Leonardo, to make sure he would eat. He also brought bowl of cut fruits to him. Leonardo had protested against so much food, but Raphael hadn’t backed away. Tho he did state that he was not forcing Leonardo to eat it all, but even some of everything. This Leonardo agreed with, eating some of the warm food and some fruits, drinking some water and hot blackcurrant juice. Then he laid down curling under thick warm blankets, falling asleep. He was sleeping a lot now while being sick. Raphael stood by the bed watching him, small smile creeping on his old face. Leonardo, while looking horrible and tired, also looked so darn cute when he slept. Moving slightly Leonardo curled on his side, pulling blanket to cover him almost fully. His head from nostrils to the top was only visible part of him. Silently existing the room Raphael now realized he had his change to order few Christmas gifts to other turtle. He hadn’t had many changes to do so yet. Sitting in the kitchen Raphael opened a laptop heading to online stores to search the items he was looking for. ** Days went by and Leonardo had recovered fully in Raphael’s gentle and loving care. After his recovery pair had visited Donatello and Michelangelo. It had took a lot of efforts from Donatello to assure their visitors that he was doing fine. His arm should be healed in a week or two at max. Then he would be able to go back on building the lab, and then fix his prosthesis. Leonardo and Raphael, both, lectured Donatello good stating he should not build the lab alone. He should have Mikey there to help him at all times. Heck, he even should call them. Older turtles would be more than happy to come to help. When lecturing was over Donatello strike back, asking how their time in the spa had gone. Leonardo and Raphael openly told them, but of course they never mentioned anything about them having a affair and having sex. It was their business only. However, the way Don’s eyes sparkled at his direction Raphael knew Don knew. They could lie to him, or hide, all they wanted but Don simply would know. Raphael snorted at himself smirking slightly to himself while looking down at his feet while being seated on the chair. Don really was a smart one. ** Christmas was right behind the corner and the items what Raphael had ordered, arrived. Thanks to good luck Leonardo was doing his daily training and meditation at the dojo in the basement, which gave Raphael much needed time and an opportunity. He carried the boxed in Leo’s room, locking the door from inside as he set the items on their places. It took time and he needed to test them too. They worked. Good! Everything was perfect and ready for Christmas. Existing Leo’s room Raphael locked the door just in case. He didn’t want Leo to go in there just yet. Sitting on the couch Raphael saw Leonardo from the corner of his eye when he entered the room approaching him. He was wearing thick winter shirt with long pants and fuzzy socks. Sitting next to Raphael Leonardo leaned against him, Raphael wrapping his arm around smaller male, sealing him in his armpit. Neither of them said anything as they watched and listened TV, fire cracking in the fireplace. “Hey?” “Hey.” Raphael smirked with small smile as he slowly petted Leonardo’s hand in his. “I have been thinking.” “Something naughty?” Raphael laughed, shaking his head. “No. No. Not this time at least. But I can if you want me to.” “Maybe later.” Leonardo replied as he lifted Raphael’s hand up, kissing his knuckle. “What did you want to talk about?” “We’ve been spending so many nights in your room. Perhaps we could spend few nights in mine?” “That sounds suspicious. Have you done something naughty in my room?” “Not more naughtier than what you have done.” Raphael grinned. “Or what we have done together.” Leonardo wore tender expression with small smile, blush covering his cheeks. “You want us to do naughty in your room too?” “That’s not my main point, but I’m not against that either.” Smirking Raphael snuggled against Leo’s neck. “But perhaps I can start to do some warm-up already ~” Leonardo chuckled loud as he bend his head out of the way, giving Raphael space to work on his neck. Sudden sound from phone when it started to rang startled both turtles. It was more than rare if their phone rang. At first Raphael wasn’t going to let Leo go to answer, but Leonardo managed to squirm free from his hold. Watching after the turtle Raphael listened when Leonardo finally picked the phone, answering. It was Alfred for sure. The way how Leo’s voice changed more happier was clue enough. Getting up Raphael walked behind Leo, wrapping his arms around him. This was perfect opportunity to tease the other male. Slowly and silently Raphael started to kiss Leo’s neck from behind, giving few small nips on the shoulder, returning back on the neck. Leonardo bit his lip as he listened Alfred on the another end, giving as clear replied as he could. At some point small chuckle escaped him, making Raphael grin widely while Alfred turned more worried. “Master, is everything alright?” “Yes. Raphael is tickling me. I think he’s still punishing me for getting sick few weeks ago.” “Oh Lord, are you alright?! Why didn’t you call me?! I would --” “You would had come here to nurture me. That’s why. You’re on your own trip and I want you to stay there and enjoy. Besides Raphael was here with me, still is, and he took very good care of me. He still makes sure I dress up warm, eat and drink.” “Hi, Alf.” Raphael said over Leo’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. Your precious Leo is in good hands.” Turning his head Raphael pressed his lips against Leo’s ear hole, whispering super silently for Leo to hear him only; “Literally.” while groping that nice ass. Damn, it felt so good, so right and fitted so well in his hand. Trying his best to ignore Raphael’s eager hand Leonardo focused on Alfred. “You heard him. All is fine so focus on your trip.” Alfred sighed in defeat on another end. “I guess so. But you must promise me you will call me if you get sick again or if anything else happens.” “Don’t worry. I promise.” Alfred was silent a moment, silent voice reaching Leo’s sensitive hearing. It was a woman who told Alfred that food was ready. “I would had loved to talk with you more, master, but I must go. My family will not look at me good if I skip dining with them.” Alfred was laughing. He either was truly joking or hiding his concern. “Then you should go.” Leonardo said smiling. “It was so lovely to hear your voice and I think we will see each other after 3 weeks at max.” “Yes. Master, stay safe and remind our brute to take care of you. I will have his shell if he fails.” Leonardo laughed. “I will deliver your message to him. Take care, Alfred.” “You too, master. Goodbye.” “Goodbye.” Leo just barely managed to release his hold on the phone when Raphael spun him around, kissing him deeply, holding him close. “Say, it’s getting late. Wanna go bed early?” There was too clear and obvious hint in Raph’s voice. Sighing Leonardo smiled looking away. “Oh, I don’t know… I kinda wanted to listen some more TV.” Throwing Leonardo on his shoulder Raphael grinned as he started to approach the stairs. “Ya can listen TV later. Besides I already turned it off.” Leonardo only laughed as he felt Raphael’s other hand rub his ass over the pants. The smell in Raphael room was so different from Leo’s. While this was, indeed, Raphael’s room it didn’t smell like him. Perhaps the reason was that Raphael hadn’t been sleeping there. Instead he had been with Leo in his room and bed. Raphael’s bed felt different than his own to Leo when Raphael dropped him on his shell, taking a hold on Leo’s waistline, pulling his pants down. Leonardo only laughed. “You are so eager as always.” “I’m horny.” “Aren’t you always?” “Listen. I’m at my 50’s and you’re the only one who I ever have had sex with. I like it, and you, and I think we have lots of catching up to do.” “You mean you want to have sex with me by catching up of decades of sex?” “Yeah, and have sex in store too. We can’t be humping when Alfred comes back.” Leonardo tried not to laugh, doing his best to keep his face normal. “I’m afraid my ass can’t handle that much sex.” Raphael laughed. Truly laughed instead of smirked, grinned or chuckled. He laughed hard and long. This kind of laugh of his was always something which made Leo’s heart expand and warm up, bringing smile on his face, making him laugh with Raphael. Watching his lover Raphael couldn’t help but to feel enormous love towards this guy. He wanted, and had already decided, to spend his life with this turtle. Never before had he felt this way, all these feelings; so strong and warm. Completely opposite to it what he normally had felt. Anger, hurt, aggression, loneliness… “Never again.” Raphael thought as he got on Leo on all four, pressing his forehead against the other, then softly kissing him. “I love you.” He whispered with most softest and loving tone, Leonardo whispering the same words back with the same warmth. They were so in love, they both knew and felt it – and it was beautiful. “Hey.” “Hey.” “So… You’re up for sex?” “Isn’t that the reason why you kidnapped me and brought me here?” Again both of them laughed, this time more slightly and shortly. “Well, yeah. But I wanted to be sure.” “You know I’m yours.” Leonardo said as he reached to search Raphael’s hand, taking soft but firm hold on it. “Well then. I would like to try new pose with you. We’ve been using the same two poses what we used at the spa.” “And this new pose is called with something horrible?” “Usually doggystyle, but --” “Eeeeww! Raphael, that’s… That’s sick! We are not dogs!” “Honey, I don’t come up with these names. You know that.” Leonardo looked so disturbed as he opened his mouth, froze and then slowly his expression changed to confused and asking. “What… did you call me?” “… Honey...” Raphael mumbled with blush as he realized this was the first time when he had called Leonardo as such. He usually called him babe or Leo. “Honey...” Leonardo whispered with a smile on his face, wrapping his hands behind Raphael’s neck. “I really like that.” “But not a doggystyle.” Leonardo’s expression turned stern instantly. “No.” Raphael smirked with a small smile. “Is ‘from behind’ better? It’s the same pose but it has two different names.” “From behind sounds MUCH better. Use that only, please.” Reaching down Raphael kissed his love once, giving his word to use that specific name. Getting rid of their last clothes turtles laid on the bed kissing and cuddling, touching and arousing each other under the blanket. God, it felt good. Leonardo moaned softly while moving his hips slightly as Raphael’s hand was between his legs rubbing his slit, hot lips kissing one spot on his neck over and over again. “No marks, please.” “I’m careful, no worries.” They silently mumbled to each other until they both were ready. “I need to remove the blanket.” After this Raphael escorted Leonardo on all four, his rear towards Raphael who was ready with the lube. Preparing Leonardo with care was something what Raphael always liked and looked forward to. And another thing what he was looking forward to was… “Hey, spread your legs more for me.” Leo didn’t ask anything as he did what he was asked to. Getting on his shell Raphael slid between Leo’s legs, coming face to face with Leo’s erection. “Well, hello ~” He said smirking, taking a hold on Leo’s staff which made Leo jerk a bit, giggling. “What are you doing?” Not bothering to answer Raphael kissed, licked and then started to suck Leo’s swollen member, earning long soft moans from his partner. Leonardo closed his eyes, blush covering his cheeks as he fully allowed himself to sink in the feeling of pleasure. He loved it when Raphael sucked him. He was so darn good at it and, to be honest, Leonardo felt his sex never started if he didn’t receive a blowjob. Blowjob. That name made him laugh slightly. Once again a sex name which he didn’t understand. Wet warm mouth soon left his erection hanging in cool air, covered with the mix of saliva and precum. Raphael’s mouth was next on Leonardo’s anus, playing there a moment while his hand prepared his erection with the lube. Stepping closer on his knees Raphael guided his erection in right line, slowly pushing in. Leonardo moaned loud, pushing his hips slightly towards Raphael who took firm hold on it. Not going too slow nor too fast Raphael started to move with good speed, Leonardo lifting his head up towards the ceiling, moaning and talking a lot with silent whispers. “Oh! Aahh! Ah! Yes, ah! Ra-Raphael, yes!” Dropping his head down Leonardo closed his eyes, blush turning stronger on his heated cheeks. “Oh God, so good… So good, Raphael! More, keep moving.” Raphael smiled while feeling incredibly proud of himself. “You like?” “I love it. Feels so damn good...” Leonardo managed to whimper between moans. “Yeah?” Raphael panted, bending down to give long lick on Leo’s shell. “This pose is said to be one of the kind which feels super good for men.” “You know so much, ahaha.” Leonardo chuckled before he was back on moaning. Next minutes went in silence as Raphael listened Leonardo’s soft moans, voice and whispers as he kept telling how good he was feeling. Raphael loved to hear it all. Sliding his other hand from Leo’s hip around Leonardo’s erection, Raphael started to pump it with the same rhythm with his hips. It was like if something would had hit Leonardo on his shoulders since he dropped chest, shoulders and head against the mattress, making louder pleasure sounds. Closing his eyes tight Leonardo swallowed many times between moans. Damn, he was almost drooling from pleasure. And it didn’t help that Raphael’s other hand was now stroking his sensitive tail. Pushing his ass hard against Raphael Leonardo demanded bigger turtle to fuck him good – which Raphael gladly did. Both males were now panting faster, moaning out loud before they both screamed more or less in bliss as they reached their climax. Leonardo’s seed splashed on the sheets while Raphael’s splashed all around in his ass. Laying still Leonardo focused on catching his breath, feeling how Raphael pulled out, then giving him long lick on his shell; from the bottom to up, letting the lick slide on the backside of his neck and head. Moving back down panting Raphael teased Leonardo’s tail with his mouth a bit before finally letting other turtle lay down to rest on clean side of the bed. Taking tissues Raphael cleaned Leo’s mess from the sheet as good as he bothered at the moment, then cleaning himself and Leo’s ass. Leonardo was chuckling silently. “You always do so proper cleaning...” “Yeah. Mess ain’t pretty or nice.” Raphael calmly replied as he tossed used tissues on the floor, crawling next to Leonardo. They nuzzled and cuddled a good time under the blanket, staying as close to each other as possible. “You sleeping?” Raphael carefully whispered when Leonardo stopped moving in his arms. “No.” Was silent whisper. “Not yet at least. I’m still enjoying the warmth of your body.” Raphael smiled softly as he kissed Leo’s head. “I thought I would wait for Christmas, but I’m a bit impatient with this one gift I have for you. Can I give it now?” “If it bothers you so, yes.” Pushing his hand under his pillow Raphael pulled out a small fabric bag, hesitating a moment. Leonardo sensed this, turning his face towards Raphael’s while keeping his head on dark green shoulder. “You can save it for Christmas if you start to have second thoughts.” “I would like to, actually, but at the same time I feel this is the best moment.” Raphael eyed wide silver ring between his fingers, hoping it to fit. Taking Leo’s left hand Raphael swallowed, pushing the ring on Leonardo’s little finger. It fitted perfectly! Raphael let our huge sigh of relief and Leonardo laughed, touching the ring with his fingers. “A ring?” “Yeah. I saw it one day online and it reminded me so much about you that I had to buy it.” Quickly Raphael added; “It’s not engagement ring, tho!” Leonardo kept smiling, some weird emotion flashing through his eyes still. “Are you sure?” He asked softly still rolling the ring around his finger. He liked how it felt. “Well, I… Maybe… I mean...” Raphael clearly didn’t know what to say so Leonardo took the reins. Turning his head back in its previous position Leonardo half closed his eyes, looking far in the distance. “I wouldn’t mind if it was engagement ring.” He said softly, but with all seriousness in his voice. Turning his head in surprise Raphael couldn’t stop blush raising on his cheeks. Laying there in silence Raphael’s head was empty, confused… “You… mean that?” “Yes. Or would you prefer open relationship with just lots of sex?” “No! No… I mean… I wouldn’t mind taking this deeper.” Leonardo turned his head now, smiling towards him. “So where’s your ring then?” “I --- Don’t have one yet. To be honest I didn’t even think you would accept that one.” “Well ~“ Leonardo said, grinning playfully. “You better get yourself a ring too or I will flush this down the toilet.” “Auch. That hit straight into my heart.” Leonardo chuckled, placing an apology kiss on Raphael’s neck while Raphael remained silent, thinking. “How about Alfred? How he will react if we are engaged when he gets back?” “Oh yeah...” The happiness what was on Leo’s face a moment ago was now history. Worry and concern clearly on his old face. “I forgot him. I got so happy...” “We could send him a text tomorrow that we got engaged. Or that we are planning it.” “No. I think we just need to go for it. If Alfred cares about us as he keeps saying, he will accept it. Understand. Or if we don’t want him to know the truth instantly when he comes back we can do little changed to our engagement. I can wear a ring on my finger while you wear yours as a necklace.” Smiling now again Leonardo ran his finger on Raphael’s scarred chest scute. “I can imagine you wearing a silver chain and silver ring hanging on it. It suits you. Makes you so handsome.” Raphael snorted softly with a smile. He was able to see it too and he liked it. “Should we go with that then? I put the ring on my finger later after we’re sure Alfred won’t kill us. … Or just me… From taking his precious Leonardo away from him.” Raphael laughed as he nuzzled against Leo’s head, kissing it once at the end. Leonardo laughed sweetly. “Alfred won’t kill anyone. I will handle him, talk to him but only after he comes back. Let him enjoy his vacation and time with the family.” “Deal. I leave him to you.” Leonardo smiled as he closed his eyes while turning on his stomach, still slightly resting on Raphael. Before falling fully asleep he whispered; “And I’m giving myself to you. For the rest of my life.” Such words warmed Raphael’s heart so, so much. He felt himself to be so important to Leonardo, suddenly feeling huge weight and pressure on his shoulders to be the best for Leonardo. To protect him like never before, make sure he’s happy every day, make him laugh and smile every day. He would give his all to this turtle – forever.
