Raph slowly opened his eyes. An immense sense of fullness made his head feel fuzzy at the sight of the peaceful turtle sleeping next to him. One of Leonardo's legs was draped over his body, making him feel like the smallest turtle wanted to feel their proximity at all moments. Raph stared down at every feature on his lover's face. Leo looked very relaxed. His breathing a steady rhythm. Raphael could see all the frown lines drawn on his forehead. He made a mental note to remind Leo to not frown so much cause he would age prematurely by decades. He chuckled quietly when he imagined the pout Leo would probably give him if he said that to him. Leo moved a bit in reaction to Raph's laugh. His hazel eyes peeked through his tired lids. As soon as they met Raph's golden irises, he smiled.

Raphael felt the urge to hug him tightly, Leo giggled and let himself be embraced against the emerald turtle's bright yellow plastron gladly. "Please tell me we can stay like this for the rest of the day...?" Raph whispered into Leo's ear slit.

"I have no where else I want to be..." Leo answered as he traced gentle circles over Raph's shoulder.

They went back to sleep, enjoying each other's warmth for a couple of hours before they woke up hungry. They ordered room service, laughing and telling each other stories as they ate. "Wait.... So let me get this straight... Your dad faked being stuck on a high pipe to help you overcome your fear of heights?"

"Haha, yeah! He's crazy like that!"

Raph snorted when he imagined the sight. "Shit, and here I thought he was a sweet, defenseless old rat-man."

"Hmm... Don't let him fool you. Before he got sick, he was very strong... A force to be reckoned with." Leo's voice showed a bit of sadness.

Raph didn't want to let anything ruin the mood, he liked seeing Leo happy and laughing. "So I heard ya wrote most of the songs ya sing?"

Leo's shoulders tensed a bit, but relaxed right after. "Uhm, yeah..."

His body language did not go unnoticed by Raph. "What was that reaction for?"

"Nothing really... It's just a little embarrassing." Raph raised an eye ridge, expecting him to elaborate more on his explanation. "They're so cliched... Our manager is who gives me the guidelines to write them. He says they need to be commercial for the public. I can't tell you how many times my original lyrics have been turned down..."

"Well, sounds like yer manager is a bigger dick than I thought." Raph stood up from the breakfast table he was sitting at to come lay with Leo who was comfortably perched on the bed. "Can I hear them...?" He gave Leo a soft kiss to the side of his head.

His forest green skin raised with goosebumps. His head snapped to the side to look at Raph with wide eyes. His mouth opened but closed right back again.

"Please~...?" Raph cooed into his neck as he kissed him.

Leo moaned. His lips opened to give way to words, but the only thing he could do was nod his head. The lump in his throat to have someone to share his world with, fully, had his whole being very overwhelmed.

Hearing Leo moan like that made Raph crave his taste more. He kissed his neck more, going down slowly until his lips reached the exposed collarbone, then he bit down gently.

Leo moaned louder, his head tilted completely back, his body melting in Raphael's embrace. Raph positioned his body between Leo's legs, kneeling into him, his hands tracing his lover's slim but well chiseled body. He had come to love Leonardo so much, he wanted to know everything there was to be known of him. He wanted to share it all, to be his rock and savior, to make him crave him as much as he did. Raph wrapped an arm around Leo's carapace and pulled him closer, making him yelp. The voracious emerald turtle then covered his beloved's mouth with his own in a hungry kiss, laying him back gently as his tongue prodded that delicious mouth. Leo was loving every second of it. To feel so vulnerable but safe at the same time was something he had never experienced before.

Raph's fingers danced over Leonardo's body while his mouth continued to focus on the other's lips and tongue. He traced his hands down the other's arms, massaging his muscles gently. He then went down his sides in a light tickle that made Leo's breath hitch lightly. It was when his fingers reached those deep leaf green thighs that Leo let out a pleasured groan against Raphael's mouth. Raph churred in response. He massaged the muscles on the back of Leo's legs as he lifted them slightly over his own legs. Leo squirmed in anticipation.

Raph sat up, looking at Leo who was panting under him. His eyes traced his lover's body, noticing the growing bulge on his lower plastron. Raph's guttural voice rumbled, "drop down for me, Leo..." But Leo only smiled, his cocky eyes wanting more play, saying clearly to Raph 'make me'... Raph couldn't help the excited shiver go down to his own bulge. Raph leaned forward and slipped the covers off the pillows, carefully kissing Leo's arms as he wrapped each hand securely in each one, then tying both sheets to the head of the bed frame. Leo pulled at them strongly, letting Raph know that they were well secured. The hothead brought his hand down and traced his thumb over the opening of Leo's bulge, touching the head of his cock, he felt it jump slightly, but still not enough to make Leo drop.

With a cocky grin, Raph licked his lips, reaching over to the night stand he opened the drawer and pulled out a small packet of K-Y jelly lube. Leo groaned and gave him an annoyed look. "Why didn't you use that before?"

"Honestly I wanted to ravage ya so bad I kinda didn't think things through..." Raph shrugged his shoulders and he opened the packet, squeezing out a bit on top of his finger. Leo pulled on his restraints again, moaning in anticipation. Raphael danced his finger tip around Leo's entrance, feeling it wink beneath his touch. He gave out a throaty churr, feeling his own excitement start to peak at the feeling of Leonardo's gyrating bottom. Without much warning, he slipped his whole finger inside Leo, immediately searching for his prostate. Leonardo moaned and curved his body up as much as his anatomy allowed him to. The head of his erect penis glancing out slightly. "Peekaboo... I see you..." Raph purred.

Leo yelped, trying to hold back as much as he could, wanting the game to go on for longer. He was loving the attention he was getting. Raph continued to thrust his finger into Leo's asshole, twisting it during the entry, rubbing on his sensitive prostate. Leo braised his body up with his shaky legs to give Raph a better angle, unconsciously bringing his bulge up. Raph smiled and bent down, giving the soft cartilage a slow, wet lick. Leo's eyes shot open as he couldn't hold it anymore, releasing his erection into the open to be only engulfed by the warmth of Raphael's waiting mouth. "Nnngghhh....! No-fair~..." Leonardo panted as Raph sucked on him, savoring his delicious sweet precum as he continuously probed him with now two fingers. Leo could only close his eyes and try to control his breathing, pulling on the pillowcases, not in an attempt to escape, but as a mere reaction to the extreme pleasure he was being submitted to.

Raph licked his lips as he separated them from Leonardo's beautiful erection. The older turtle's legs gave out, laying now on top of Raph's legs once more, he panted loudly, glancing at Raph through hooded eyes, noticing his goliath of a cock bobbing up and down as those golden irises promised to devour him whole. "Yer so fucking beautiful, Leo..." Raph raised one of Leo's legs up to his shoulder, turning his face to shower it with soft nibbles and kisses. "So... Beautiful... Ah~..." He thrusted his penis inside Leo, once again getting engulfed by the warmth and tightness. Holding the leg right against his plastron and shoulder, he pulled Leo's body back with every thrust, giving the friction more strength.

Leo's cock bobbed up and down almost painfully with every thrust, making him want to have at least one free hand to pump himself to the rhythm. Almost as if reading his mind, Raphael took hold of it with his free hand, squeezing it lightly, letting it glide inside his hand. Leo bit his lip, he felt beads of sweat roll down his body. He glanced at Raphael; his eyes were closed, his face pressed against the possessed leg, his nostrils flaring against it. He could feel Raph's cock swell up inside him, he knew their release was close. "Harder, Raphie...!" Raph's eyes flew open to look at him sideways, not wanting to relinquish the feel or leverage that sensual leg was giving him. With a cocky grin Raph lifted his body on his knees and started to thrust even harder, pumping Leo at unison to the movements. "Ah~, yes! Yessss~... Nngghh~...! AAAHHHH!!! Raph, I'm-I'm cumming!" Leo's load erupted in Raphael's hand, coating their plastrons, and a little of Raph's neck and face. That was what sent Raph to his edge, with a muffled curse and groan and two more hard thrusts, he exploded inside Leo. Letting go of his leg slowly he dropped his weight forward on shaky arms.

They were both panting and sweaty. Leo then noticed his semen on Raph's face and went beet red in embarrassment. Raph knowing exactly the reason to the oh so cute reaction, giggled and said, "what? Do I have something on my face?" Leo pouted and pushed Raph over with one of his legs.

"You're gross. Now, a little help, please?"

"Hmm, not sure I wanna help ya now, since ya think I'm gross n stuff." Raph's face started to come closer to Leo's.

"Eww! Hahaha... Stop! Don't you dare get jizz on my face!"

Raphael smiled lecherously. He brought a hand up to his face, wiping Leonardo's cum with his finger off his cheek, giving that finger a lick right after. Leo's smile faded, he wanted to laugh and tell Raph how disgusting that was, but he couldn't help but find it to be very sensual at the same time. He instinctively stretched his neck to Raph, placing a hungry kiss to his mouth, probing him with his tongue, savoring the lingering taste. "Damn, babe... Let a guy catch a break, won't ya?" Leo smiled and gave Raph a soft peck. The larger turtle's eyes were soft and tender. He then reached up and loosened the makeshift restraints, allowing Leo to stretch out the muscles in his arms.

They both enjoyed their after glow, talking here and there. Leo shared a song or two of his own, Raph praised him where he thought it was deserved, then teased him on parts he found to be corny, but still complimented him for the feelings behind each lyrics. Not being able to deal with the stickiness anymore, Leo pulled Raph up and headed to the shower. Leo lovingly helped Raph wash himself, as Raph did for him. "Hey, Raph...?"

"Yeah...?"

"Did you decide about Japan yet?" Leo avoided Raph's eyes as to try and hide the anxiety in his own.

"Yeah." Raph answered as he peppered kisses over Leo's head.

"And...?" Leo prompted.

"And, what?" Raph snickered.

Leo's patience was wearing thin, he pushed Raph off him slightly, and stared him straight in his eyes, unwavering. "I'm serious, Raph. It's not fair for me to not know."

"Not fair? And why is it not fair, Fearless?" Raph pressed his body closer to Leo's again.

"It's not fair to keep your boyf-." Leo caught himself, a cold chill ran through his body. He mentally cursed himself for letting his emotions take hold of his mind. He had promised himself to not let things get too emotional, for both his sake and Raphael's. They weren't in positions where they could let each other commit to one another. Raph needed a cold head to make the right decision about his future, and Leo... Leo wasn't even sure he would have a beating heart after Oroku Saki returned from Japan... He only knew he owed too much to Raph, for making him love life again, for making him stray back to his path, for helping his heart become righteous again, for restoring his honor in himself. He could not stand in Raph's way of making the choice that would benefit him the most in his career.

Raph's eyes widened. "To keep my, what?" Leo lowered his face to the ground. Raph gently cupped his chin and lifted it to meet his eyes. "Leo...?"

"Nothing. Forget I said anything. I got carried away, that's all." Leo pulled his face from Raph's hand, sliding away and making his way out of the shower.

Raph grabbed Leo's arm and pulled him back forcefully. He didn't like word games. "My. WHAT?" He pinned Leo against the wall, his face crunched up in a silent growl.

"Raph. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let that slip... I got carried away in the moment... It's not fair of me to put any more pressure on you."

"Do ya love me?" Raph's eyes were piercing.

Leo swallowed hard. He had promised he wouldn't lie to him anymore. "Yes."

"Then why?" Raph's face softened. "Why can't we love each other fully? Why can't we be official?" He cupped Leo's face, he noticed there was pain in those hazel eyes. "I know there's stuff ya can't share with me yet, and I respect that, I really do... But I'm just not willing to let ya go."

Leo's breath hitched, his nose tickled with the threat of tears. "Raph... I won't put you in danger. I truly do want to be with you, and trust me when I say I'm trying to get out of this shitstorm I'm in... Cause I want to be with you..." Two big tears slid down Leo's face.

Raph turned the shower off, cupped Leo's face with both hands and kissed him gently. "I'm not going anywhere without ya."

Leo's eyes snapped open. "No..."

"Come with me to Japan... You and yer dad... Let me be the one to save you."
