Ch6 Everything with the Council went exactly how Gaya had said. Raphael got papers what he signed. He now, officially, was the king of albino clan and therefor owner of their land. Staring paper in his hands Raphael’s mind was full of disbelief. He knew it was true, he was seeing it with his own eyes and yet it all felt so unreal. “Your Majesty.” Snapping his head up, eyes slightly wide from surprise, Raphael’s eyes spotted young man who bowed at him slightly in front of small cabin’s door. “I’m sorry we don’t have anything more royal to your Highness, but please, accept our best modern cabin as your place to stay.” It was awkward and confusing to hear someone talking to him like that, but he needed to get used of it. Nodding once Raphael stepped in as the door was held open for him, gasping with wide smile. Cabin was fully made of wood with warm lights and big fireplace in living room. Big glass windows also were nice touch, giving view right into forest behind the cabin. Going deeper in Raphael found small kitchen, separated bathroom and bedroom which meant he and Leo, still, needed to share a bedroom – which was perfectly fine. Raphael felt better when he was near Leo at all times anyway. He also fell in love with small fireplace in the bedroom with big bed which had four poles. It was a bit over romantic but his softer side still liked it. Turning to look Leonardo and their guide Raphael couldn’t hide his happiness and excitement. “It’s perfect! I love it! Thank you!” Leonardo’s face went long in shock as young man bowed to him. “I’m most pleased to hear such words. Everything should be in order for you to settle down here. If you, however, find anything missing or not pleasing you, call me. I have left my number on fridge’s door. Call me at any time. I’m at your service.” “Thank you, I will if it comes to that.” With that young man left, leaving Raphael and Leonardo standing face to face in silence. Something was off, Raph could feel it. Ever since Gaya had told them the truth Leonardo had shut down, becoming quiet. Something was clearly troubling young turtle. “Are you okay? Gaya dropped quite a bomb on you too.” “I’m… not sure.” Sitting on the bed duo spent a while in silence. Leonardo gathering his thoughts and Raphael patiently waiting. “I think I always had my suspicions about that rat. But still actually learning and hearing that he started a war and killed all albino turtles… That is insane and yet fully real.” Leaning on his thighs with his elbows Leonardo dropped his head down with heavy sigh. In a way Raphael understood Leonardo but lacking of right words Raphael just moved closer, wrapping his arm on other reptile’s shoulders, gently pulling him right against him. While allowing himself to be pulled and held close Leonardo remembered Splinter’s words of seducing Raphael if he was the king… He didn’t want to do it. He didn’t want to sink so low and do this dirty job for his so called father. But this also gave Leonardo another idea. A perfect opportunity in so many ways and he would go for it – even if he would do something what he didn’t want to. Looking up at Raphael’s face Leonardo saw warm and worried look which forced him to smile. “I’m okay, don’t worry. I mean I have you here with me. It eases my emotions and thoughts a lot.” Deciding to act before Raphael would pull away or anything Leonardo moved away from his hold, getting on his knees facing older turtle who seemed slightly surprised. Moving closer Leonardo’s expression changed into sweet and hinting soft smile. This sudden change in Leonardo was somehow worrying but as long as he wasn’t coming at Raphael with knives or anything Raph allowed this to go on. Moving in the middle of the bed, forced by Leo, Raphael laid on his shell resting his upper body still on his elbows so that he could see Leonardo better who stopped to sit between Raphael’s slightly opened legs. Atmosphere in the room suddenly felt heavy in warm way which was new to Raphael. He was nervous but he didn’t had the guts to tell other turtle to stop. Leaning towards Raphael’s face Leonardo smiled sweetly, too sweetly. “I was thinking… This gives us perfect opportunity to celebrate your promotion, don’t you agree?” Lowering his gaze on his hand which now was gently stroking Raphael’s thigh Leonardo kept smiling. “Get hard.” “H-huh!?” Those sparking eyes looked deep in his eyes, sending clear message to Raphael. “Get hard.” “A-are you nuts!? I can’t get hard by ordering it!” Reaching for Raphael’s clothes Leonardo snarled slightly. “Then let me help you with it. First we remove these.” Starting to pull Raphael’s pants off his hands were stopped when Raphael reached for them, grabbing on them tightly. “S-stop that!” “Why? You don’t find me attractive or something?” Panic grew stronger in his stomach when Leonardo kept pulling his pants down so Raphael screamed; “I’m not into guys!” Freezing on his place Leonardo’s eyes grew wide as he stared big blushing turtle who couldn’t look at him in the eyes. Those words had more stronger effect than Leo realized, noticing how his whole being was becoming cold. Slowly he released his hold on Raphael’s pants, sitting back down between his legs. Seeing Leonardo so shocked made Raphael feel guilty but before he could explain his words, Leonardo spoke. “Have you ever been with a guy?” “… No...” “With a girl?” “No.” “Then how can you say you are not into one of them if you never haven’t been with one?” Raphael’s angry reply was something what Leo didn’t expect. “Excuse me, but I have been a slave my whole life. I exactly haven’t had any chances of being with anyone.” Speaking softly Leonardo placed his hand on Raphael’s ankle keeping his eyes down. “You have a chance right here and now.” Pink top of a tongue flashed between Leo’s lips. “And I’m gonna make you use it.” Grabbing once more on Raphael’s pants Leo pulled them off with one hard yank, Raphael’s horrified and sudden scream filling the bedroom. With heavy blush Raphael watched how Leonardo moved closer and this automatically made Raphael spread his legs more open, giving Leo more room. “Are you scared?” Leonardo asked softly as his hands traveled smoothly up and down on Raphael’s naked thighs. Swallowing Raphael whimpered no. He was just nervous. He didn’t know what to do, but Leo did. “Relax, my king. This will be all about you.” Taking his time to help Raphael to relax Leonardo kept stroking massive thighs, slowly reaching more further up. His fingertips came in contact with softer lower plastron area which made Raphael suck air between his lips. His body tensed slightly but soon relaxed back to normal. Taking his sweet time Leonardo toyed around Raphael’s slit which had started to open slightly. Tense breathing had become more relaxed and warm, new king laying still, eyes gently closed. It seemed Leonardo’s touch was doing good for him. When Raphael’s cock had swell enough, it dropped out. In awe Leonardo’s eyes stayed on reddish erection which was still filling in front of his eyes, precum slowly starting to pour out from the top. Taking Raphael’s dick between his hands Leo smiled widely. It was amazing! Raphael’s cock was huge and nothing like Leo had ever seen. It was pulsing between his hands, feeling hot. Taking some of Raph’s white precum in his hands Leonardo slowly started to move them up and down on Raphael’s length. A moan with long pleased sigh. It seemed king Raphael was liking the feeling of being touched – and Leonardo liked to touch him. Only Raphael’s soft moans and sighs were heard in the room as Leonardo kept stroking his full cock, desperately wanting to lean down to kiss that red round head but he didn’t. There was a chance it would be too much and too suddenly for Raphael. Patience, Leonardo reminded himself with. Opening his legs more Raphael started to groan louder as his hips slowly were getting higher and higher in the air. Speeding up his handjob Leonardo closely watched Raphael’s body language. His erection was expanding and voice growing stronger, muscles tensing all around his body while preparing to the final. Leonardo knew exactly what would soon follow all that. Taking tighter hold Leonardo sped up, moving foreskin around Raphael’s dick up and down faster, finally witnessing Raphael’s strong climax. Raphael almost roared when he came, white stream of semen flying high up in the air, splashing down on his thighs, lower plastron and Leonardo’s hands. Never before in his life had Raphael passed out as quickly as he did now. Sitting still with satisfied smile Leonardo watched how big turtle instantly fell asleep, leaving big mess behind. Luckily there was small tissue bags what Leonardo was able to use to clean the scene. After cleaning sudden sadness and emptiness filled young male as he let his eyes rest on sleeping snapping turtle. Now that Raphael was legally king and ruler, there was no reason for him to stay in the palace anymore, nor with Leo. He was free to go and live in his own land. Feeling lump forming in his throat Leonardo laid down on Raphael, pressing his ear hole against rough plastron. A heartbeat. Such strong and calming sound came in his ear with repeat, soothing his worried mind. Nuzzling against big body beneath him Leonardo pressed himself as tightly against Raphael as possible. He was so afraid of losing him… More afraid than ever before. He so badly had wished Raphael not to be the heir of albino turtles so that he could keep him to himself but now… Table had turned completely around, not favoring young prince at all. ** Hearing sounds of birds singing behind the window woke Raphael ever so gently. Not rushing to open his eyes Raphael smiled as he listened those small beautiful tones, feeling all relaxed and warm. He also felt another body’s weight on him and it was nice. Nothing new however since he had shared some nights with Leonardo before while prince had slept in his arms. Then, like a snake from tall grass, earlier events hit his memory causing Raphael to jerk. Sweat was instantly covering his whole body, wide eyes locked to stare the ceiling. Leonardo sighed deep before making small movement which caused Raphael’s attention to move on him. Looking up with tired eyes Leonardo forced small smile on his lips. “Hey. Had a nightmare when you jerked like that?” Sweat drop rushed down on king’s neck. “Um, no. Not a nightmare but… Umh… You still remember what you did to me last night?” Blush wasn’t fading from his cheeks as Leonardo’s gaze bore deeper in his own eyes, making him feel slightly uncomfortable. “You mean that handjob?” Now his smile turned into naughty grin. “You seemed to like it. Quite lot actually.” Laying better on Raphael Leonardo started to draw circle on Raph’s chest plate. “You made such wonderful primal growls towards the end and when you finally came.” Slapping hands on his face Raphael groaned. “Please, stop talking like that…!” Chuckling Leonardo rested his chin on his hands. “Why? I’m just telling you how it was. You liked it and I liked it that you liked it.” Holding back a moment Leonardo turned his face down enough to be able to place feather light kiss on Raphael’s chest. Looking at the other turtle between the gap of his fingers Raphael remained silent, not knowing what to say or how to react. Leonardo knew tho. “You still think you are not into guys?” Oh no, no puppy eyes! Unable to look away Raphael kept staring into big pleading eyes, full of hope that Raphael would feel something for him. “I… I’m not sure.” Turning quiet Raphael gave it proper thought. He wasn’t into guys, at least not that he was aware of it, but last night with Leo… It hadn’t been bad. It was completely opposite actually and, in all honesty… “I wouldn’t mind trying it again with you later. I mean there’s no harm, right?” Smaller eyes widened, smile turning into another naughty grin. “Well, then. I will let you make the start next time.” Moving off on Raphael Leonardo gave them a chance to sit down side by side which Raphael accepted. They sat silently feeling slightly awkward after everything. However more time passed, more gloomy Leonardo started to look like. Raphael couldn’t understand why. “Hey… Why so gloomy all of the sudden? Already regretting last night or something?” “No, no. I’m not regretting it. I just...” Sighing Leonardo looked away. “You’ve been good to me, Raphael. You’ve… been treating me so kindly. Not with disgust, hate and anger like some other persons in the palace. It has been huge thing to me. Besides Mikey you are the only one who I really like.” Lowering his head Leonardo felt his eyes burning, tears forcing their way up. “But now you’re a king and you will go to rule your own land, rebuild it.” Rubbing his eyes his voice trembled. “I wished so bad you wouldn’t be the heir of Miranda’s. That way you would had stayed beside me for the rest of our lives but now you won’t. Your own life as a king starts now and I have no room in your life anymore.” “… Why would you think that?” Laughing slightly Leonardo turned his teary eyes on Raphael. “You haven’t think it? Well think now. You are a king, I’m only a prince. I no longer have any power over you. I no longer can control you, make you obey me. You are free from me.” Turning to look away Leo hid his face in his hands. “I’m losing you.” Understanding what Leonardo was saying Raphael moved closer, sealing Leonardo in his arms. “Listen. I am the king, yes, and I will have my duties but they are not so urgent since I don’t even have a kingdom yet. I also need some time to get used of all this, but you must know and believe me...” Taking hold on Leo’s cheeks Raphael forced their eyes to meet and stay locked. “...I will not move away from your side, yet, but when the time comes and I must leave the palace, I will take you with me. I promise.” Now stunned Leonardo couldn’t do anything else than stare at bigger turtle in awe. Had he really hear him right? Raphael still would be there by his side instead of abandoning him? Leonardo didn’t need to use part of his plan later and ask Raphael to take him with him? Those big eyes were full of warmth and assurance which squeezed Leo’s heart. More tears, now with joy, rose up in his eyes and smaller turtle couldn’t help himself when he threw himself to hang on Raphael’s neck, kissing him strongly on the lips. Staring with wide eyes Raphael was caught by the surprise. So much things were happening to him in so short time but he had to admit, last night’s handjob and now kiss from Leo had been the best things to happen to him. Allowing his eyelids close Raphael wrapped his arms around thin turtle, answering the kiss as well as he could. Naturally it was awkward and both males chuckled a bit between kisses because of this but it didn’t stop them for sharing more small kisses. ** Days went by faster than any of the turtles would had wanted to. Leonardo had no any desire to return back to the palace, Gaya still wished young king to stay since those two still had so much to talk to and Raphael… He wanted to stay here with Leo since he knew how Leonardo felt about returning back home and all dangers what there most surely would be waiting him. Both of them had mentioned it if they should stay but they came to conclusion it wouldn’t be wise since there was a chance Splinter would send some of his men to look for them. None didn’t know why but that feeling they both got. Back at the palace everything seemed to be like always and it was no surprise Splinter wasn’t there to greet them. Only one rushed to jump on them and give them a hug - and it was Michelangelo. Poor guy clearly had been missing them, not to mention being lonely. Eagerly Mikey was circling around the pair firing them with questions of their journey while eating the snacks what Leonardo, as promised, had brought him. It wasn’t they didn’t trust Mikey but both Raphael and Leonardo had agreed not to mention about Raphael being the king – not until it would be good thing to expose. In one evening Splinter had managed to come to welcome his son home, giving him a hug what neither of them actually wanted. Donatello also had, while passing by Leo’s room, said just hi from the door. It was somehow infuriating and sad that nothing hadn’t changed during those days when Leo was gone. Even that weird scarred crocodile was still around and it gave Raphael uneasy chills. Whenever he spotted that specific male Raphael tensed, his muscles growing a bit bigger as he stepped right next to Leonardo, his instincts screaming him to protect young prince. Crocodile noticed this every single time and it seemed to amuse him. Expression on his face never changed but the glimmer in his eyes told Raphael all what he needed to know. Growling in his mind Raphael swore he, one day, would show him some real amusement. Leonardo, who also had seen this happening and sensing Raphael’s moods changing, had encouraged Raphael not to give any damn to the crocodile. It was easier to say than done tho. Few more days went by. Splinter had kept his eyes tightly on Leonardo and Raphael, sneaking to speak with his adopted son whenever he could. He wanted to find out the truth about Raphael but so far all what he had got from Leonardo was; “He’s not royalty. You can be at ease.” Somehow Splinter didn’t believe that so he went to investigate. Knowing his son being out training with his bodyguard Splinter sneaked in Leo’s room, searching for anything which could give any hints. He didn’t need to search long when he finally found Raphael’s necklace and paper which stated it loud and clear. Raphael was royalty. Growling Splinter almost scrunched Raphael’s paper in anger. His little ungrateful brat had been lying to him…! But then again it was no surprise since Splinter wasn’t, and hadn’t been, all that honest either. Placing items back where they had been Splinter left the room, heading to meet his only trustworthy son. Raising his brows Don watched in silence how Splinter entered the room, slowly closing the door behind him. None of them said anything as Splinter approached Donatello. “Anything new?” Sitting down Splinter sighed. “That brat has been lying. That big turtle is royalty. He’s the heir of albino turtles.” “I assumed that much.” “Why didn’t you say anything?!” Donatello snorted as he got back on writing some notes to himself. “You wouldn’t had listened to me. And you would had insist seeing some facts and proofs – which I don’t have.” After a little pause his dark eyes rose to eye Splinter. “How do we continue from here?” Splinter rubbed the area between his eyes. “We have two choices. We either wait and press Leo to marry that turtle and then we kill them or we simply go and kill them both now and just go claim the land.” “So with the latest option you are saying you would go and fight against the whole Council in a war? Because they surely wouldn’t just hand Albino Turtles’ land t you. Not to spoil any fun from you, Splinter, but you know you would lose. You have no chances of winning a war against Council.” Pink naked tail flashed back and forth. Splinter was not happy and it showed. Suddenly his expression changed as he eyed Donatello who was back on writing. Standing up Splinter came next to his son, eyeing his hand writing. Much for Splinter’s joy Donatello’s handwriting was very similar to Leo’s. None would never know the difference. “My son, do you think you could fake Leo’s signature?”
