Raph's one and only

What's going on

Author notes

So I'm switching up how it is written because I wasn't liking how it sounds later in the story so third POV instead of First person I may rewrite the previous chapters but for now the change is here would love feedback or comments I just needed to write to get other stuff off my brain also ps the dream could be a trigger for SA survivors .

++++++++++time skip+++++

Raph's POV

they brought Tara back to her apartment Donnie was busy showing and explaining the camera system pointing everywhere but the bedroom area

"alright and here I placed a panic button under your kitchen counter here" Donnie explained trying to not go to fast and be sure she is able to understand all his directions. Tara crouched down to see it looking at the small but obvious button now planted under her counter.

"Does it make a loud noise" she asked as she reached for it you could tell she wanted to press it but resisted the urge

, "it does, but not here it will alert us directly" Donnie exclaimed pretty proud of his invention shaking the t phone at towards her indicating that we would get an amber alert of sorts if it was pressed. Leo watched arms crossed he still didn't like the idea of leaving her by herself but what choice did he have she wasn't his to keep.

"What about my board" she asked standing up from under the counter with a stitch of worry about her equipment clear on her face

"we were able to find it and retrieve it it's in our shell raiser garage though we couldn't get risk getting seen bringing it back here." Raph explained to her trying to make her feel better about her lost gear. She nodded obviously pleased with this answer

"awesome Thankyou guys so much." She kind of glanced around seeming unsure to say something but she did get to it as she reached Raph's amber eyes and they found each other, A quick heart beat lurched at the sight in Raph but he kept his cool nonchalant face in check

" can I see you guys tomorrow?"

"Ya" Raph answered a little faster than he wanted to he coughed looking away trying to seem like he didn't just run towards her and inviting her back

"ya I can come pick you up if you would like.  She lit up

" yes that would be amazing ,can bring my skate board" she said pointing to the pile of sports gear sitting in the corner.

"Yes dudeette bring it" Mikeys said obviously excited to skate with the new girl and to really do anything other than training Raph looked at Donnie waiting to see if he would allow it also feeling protective of her and didn't want to see her hurting again for any reason

"that should be fun" Donnie chimes in not really looking at anyone more surveying his work making sure he didn't forget anything about his new project. As the others went to leave Raph kind of lingered in there trying not to let any emotion show, but not wanting to leave her behind it was an internal debate about whether he should just stay here or go with his brothers. She touched his arm jumping him out of his stand still argument his amber eyes burrowed into her crystal blue ones and he couldn't resist watching her lips fidget until she found the words she was looking for

"Hey Raph Thankyou for everything I never really got a chance to say that you really saved me more than I would like to admit"

she said rubbing her arm and no longer looking at him in the face almost as if she was embarrassed about something. "Do you have a phone number to like text or anything she asked as she tried not to make eye contact as she asked the question pulling at her hair playing with it anything but to look at Raph.
