Rejected:
Part Seven
Taking effects
Raph's P.O.V:

I yawned and stretched my arms when I felt morning light warming my face.
Another day just started and I'm absolutely in no mood for a grumpy, cold Leo.
Talk about luck.

What did Chaplin say? It would take a while to take effects?...
... Think I'm losing both my hope and patience.
It's been five days and I haven't been able to make conversation with Leo. Not even a simple: 'Good Morning'

I've thought of ways to deal with this, the first option would be Master Splinter.
Definitely not.
If Leo's reaction was worse, Sensei's would probably be disownment.
And the only option left is waiting.
Yeah, all I have left now is time.

I made my way to the kitchen...

Leo was already there.
I took a deep breath as I prepared myself for another round of silent- treatment, angry glares and disgusted looks.
Even the thought of it made me want to go back to my room and hide there, sobbing out my misery.
No; I can't avoid him forever.
The least I can get is forgiveness...

"Morning Raph! Slept well?"
I was taken back by Leo's cheerful voice.
Well that, and the fact that Leo just talked to me!
Plus he is smiling wider and wider...It's creeping me out...

"Are you feeling okay?"
My voice came out rushed, and truth to be told I was ready to faint...
"Of course I'm fine Raph! Why shouldn't I be?"
Despite my out of the blue question his smile didn't drop.
Weird.
Maybe he's just feeling good.

A few minutes later the rest of our family came and joined us for breakfast.
Everything felt so normal.

"So my son" Sensei started "Is Miss Karai coming over today?"
Leo just nodded.
The mixture of Leo's actions and Sensei's statement hit me like an anvil.

Fucking little Miss Shredder.

And no matter how happy I was that he actually talked to me I couldn't help the knot that formed in my stomach.

"I think that's enough for today. We can plan out the rest tomorrow,"
Karai finished.
I mentally sighed in relief, she was gone for today.
" Or maybe you can come over to our headquarters now? We could work with no disturbance"
She glanced at me.
What?!

Did she just accuse me of being annoying?!
I balled my fists angrily! How dare you, you piece of worthless-
"Tomorrow's fine,I've got some things to do for now"
Leo's stern voice made the fire of my anger burn out.
God, I wonder if this is jealousy?

Karai winced.
Ha! Take that!
With no other word she left, clearly shocked.
The content feeling was too pleasureable for my own good.

"So Raph" he smiled "Wanna watch a movie?"
I nodded before he could take that back.
Maybe going back to normal wouldn't be that hard after all...

We started watching Twilight, though I wondered why did he choose that, none of us likes those cheek flicks...

Halfway through the movie we were both falling asleep, until I felt something on my hand.
I moved my head only to see Leo's hand on mine... He's probably not feeling well...
That I couldn't help my blush, though.

My eyes felt warm as sleep finally claimed me, something I stopped having a decent amount after I got rejected...
