Raph
My girlfriend, a kunoichi? Finally, she'll be able to protect herself, but I'll be damned if I'm not gonna have a heart attack worrying about her. Being a kunoichi is so dangerous. Is my girl ready for something like that?
"Hey, Raph." Leo says, breaking me from my thoughts. I sit up and he makes eye contact with me. How long has he been standing at my door?
Leo quietly shuts the door behind him and approaches me. I raise an eyebrow, "What, am I in trouble or something?" I question, totally puzzled. He approaches me like a dad about to discipline his kid for sneaking out of the house and going to a party.
"Is there something going on between you and Y/N?"
"What?" I answer immediately, shouting. He raises both brows at my sudden reaction. Shit, he's on to me.
"It's clear to anybody with eyes, Raph. You two have been awfully close lately for people who hated each other not too long ago. Taking her home when she was hurt despite her being the enemy at the time, hugging her, her running to you as the first person for help, you getting really upset and overprotective when she nearly ran into her brother. Dude, she sleeps in your room! What even happened in that warehouse, anyway?" I shake my head.
"You've got it wrong, we're just friends."
"I'm not stupid," I glance around, racking my brain for a snarky reply to make him go away, "Now answer the question. What happened in that warehouse? You've been all buddy buddy since then." I grind my teeth and grimace. He knows, what's the use in denying it?
I stand up and glance out the door to make sure nobody is in sight before fully closing it. I briefly pace around my room. "I already told you everything."
"You told us that her brother wanted her to kill you and she helped you escape. That's it. I don't even know how she helped, considering she was unconscious when you got home. It's not adding up."
"There's something special about her." I stare at the floor, refusing to make eye contact despite feeling his blue eyes stare directly into my skull. "I felt sick to my stomach seeing her so beaten. Thoughts nagged me every time I left her side til she woke up. Whenever she looks at me or talks to me or if I even just think of her I get butterflies. She's beautiful and..." I trail off.
"Don't let this romance between you two get in the way of our mission. We have assholes to take down and I don't need her becoming your weakness." Leo warns me. I scowl. He's right, goddamnit he's right, but there's no way in hell I'll let him know it or stop protecting Y/N.
"Do the other guys know?"
"Know what?" He asks.
"Know I'm crazy about her."
"I haven't talked with them about it." He answers. Mikey is always teasing me about liking her but he's got shells for brains so I don't think he's figured it out yet. Maybe Donnie is still too gaga over April to notice.
"I just don't want them to know yet, okay? I'll tell them when I'm ready." I say. Leo sighs, shaking his head a bit.
"Okay, Raph. One more thing, it's your turn to take out the trash." I roll my eyes as he leaves the room then plop back into my bed.
Great, Leo knows. He can keep a secret, but if he thinks it'll threaten the team or our mission I know he'll spill the beans. Ugh, why can't Lamenardo get his own love life to worry about?
