Raphael x reader

chapter 4

True to his word, twenty minutes later you hear knocking on your window and Raphael stands on the stone frame outside. You quickly open the window and let him inside. It's clear as day that Raph's upset, and that's putting it lightly. That won't do, and you decide to try and get that frustration out. And what better way to do so but by slaying hordes of zombies with cool and incredibly silly weapons! Luckily you were just playing a game like that to kill time (and nerves).

"Pizza will be here in a few, wanna play Dead rising?"

"Yeheheah! Die you undead uglies!" Raph was already on the couch and playing the previously paused game before you even ended your sentence.
You join him after getting something to drink for Raph and yourself.

When the pizza arives you put up a film. Soon you two are laughing and joking together like you've known each other for forever. His snarky and sarcastic remarks crack you up to no end.

Seeing as he is completely emerged in the movie you take this chance to observe Raphael for a bit. It is definitely less weird to see him for the second time. You see the wounds he had are all completely healed. His mood has changed since he came in. He seems to be a lot more relaxed.. Raphs bright green eyes are focused on the tv, they are so beautiful.

Emerald orbs lock with yours and it takes a moment to find that Raph's focus has shifted from the tv to you. His gaze is intense and he looks.. Shocked?

"Erm, thanks?" Raph's gruff voice sounds a bit unsure.

Then it hit you.

"Ohmygod did I just say that out loud?" You hide your flushed face in your hands.

When Raphael arrived at Y/n's place he felt stressed, angry, and more then ready to punch something. He definitely didn't feel like talking about what had happened, so he was all the more relieved when Y/n didn't even ask. In stead she did everything to distract him from it. Talking about her day, the game and joking about the movie. She gave him the official house tour and Raph finds out Y/n sometimes does Yoga.

Raphael is staring at the Tv, but his thoughts are elsewhere. Y/n to be more specific. 'She's such a pretty girl, so nice. She could make friends with anyone I bet. Ungh, why am I thinking about this.'

"Your eyes are so beautiful."

'And her voice... It's soothing. Wait. What did she say? Did she just compliment me? What am I supposed to say to that?!' Raphael felt his cheeks warm up. He mumbled a thanks and watched as Y/n cheeks exploded in a red rivalling his own mask.

"Ohmygod did I just say that out loud? I didn't mean... well I did...do... But not like that! And I'll shut up now." Still hiding behind her hands Y/n turned back to the tv, watching the movie through her fingers.

'She's so cute.' Raph thought. 'Oh fuck thoughts STOP damn it!'

The evening went well and the two of you had fun. Raphael left actually in a good mood, which lasted until he walked back into the lair.

Leo stops Raph on his way to his room. "Raphael, where were you?"

'Great. Just the turtle I didn't want to see' "None of your business fearless."

"It is my business if you go out and antagonize our enemies!"

"I didn't pick any fights! Now leave me alone!" Raphael pushes past his older brother and slammed the door to his room shut.

"Woah, Raphieboy went upside and didn't bust some heads? The apocalypse is at hand!" Mikey began running through the lair all the while screaming dramatically in a high pitched voice.

"Hmm, that is strange. Perhaps I should follow him next time Raph goes out." Leonardo murmered to himself, deep in thought.
