Back to New York! (2nd)

An Awkward Talk

Kylee woke up, stiff and sore. She remembered the other night and cringed. Jeremy had gotten way too close in her head, how’d he even get there? How did Raph get in there? It blared into Kylee’s head on what had happened, what he had said to her… because I can’t just let ‘em torture my girl right?  What had he meant by that!?! Did he say he wanted her back? or…”GAH! Men are so complicated, no wonder why I wasn’t good with them when I was a kid.”

“Hey, can ya quiet it down up there, some reptiles are tryin’ ta sleep down ‘ere” Raph grumbled sleepily, groggily slapping her hand. DAMN IT! RAPH WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME?  Kylee thought, leaning over the bed getting a closer look at Raph. Something caught her attention and she leaned closer over, falling off and onto Raph. He glared at sleepily. “Ya don’t get the meaning of sleep do ya?” He grumbled, Kylee blushed a little, and looked at his right arm and then the floor. “um…Raph…your arm.” She pointed innocently. Raph looked at his arm. Bloody and cut, it felt numb. “Sorry ‘bout the floor kid” He said, the carpet was stained with his blood. Kylee scoffed, getting off him and helping Raph up. “It’s just carpet; I’ll put a rug over it. But right now we gotta get that arm cleaned up. You got that cuza me?”

“Nope, me this time.”

Kylee brought Raph to the living room and sat him down on the couch. She got her first aid kit and began working on Raphs arm. He watched as she diligently cleaned and stitched his wound, her eyes clouded with concentration and thought. His eyes narrowed to only look at her face. How long had it been since he held it in his hands? “Say kid-”

He was interrupted before Raph could finish, as Becca barged in and attacked Kylee as she luckily finished with Raphs arm. Kylee was shook like a rag doll as Becca wept and hugged her.

“Are you alirght?”

“Yes” Kylee said dully

“Did those evil witches hurt you?”

“Yes”

“They didn’t do anything icky to you did they?!”

“One tried ta kiss me if that’s what you’re asking” Kylee said. Raphs facial features twitched a little, he was going to kill that little bastard…

“OH MY GOD, DID YOU KICK HIS BUTT?!”

“Not really, I just…talked him out of it…”

“How so?”

“why you so nosey all the sudden?”

“BECAUSE IDIOT! YOUR LIFE WAS JUST IN PERIL, HOW CAN YOU BE SO COOL ABOUT THIS?!! NOW HOW DID YOU TALK HIM OUT OF KISSING YOU”

Kylee looked down and away from Becca, giving Raph a quick glance and then looking back at the floor, blushing. Raph looked at her curiously and Becca looked at Raph quizzically. “Kylee, how exactly did you talk him out of kissing you?” Becca said, leaning on Kylee’s head and pushing it down painfully. “Becca, sissy, I don’t mean to offend but can you leave? Raphael and I have some stuff to talk about.”

Becca got off her friends head and blinked curiously. Winking she left with the threat ‘I’ll ring that answer outta you sooner or later, you can’t escape forever. When she closed the door behind her, Kylee got up to lock it. When she turned around, Raph was there-pinning her to the door and kissing her. She closed her eyes and let him kiss her. “I missed ya kid” He said, his lips still pressed to hers. Kylee turned away, breaking the kiss. “Raph what are we?” she said quietly, her eyes turned away from the turtle, who was still holding her to the door. Raph looked at her, studying her features. “What eva you want us ta be”

“Raph, you left. Sure it was for good reason, but you left me not knowing.”

“I wanted ta tell ya. But I dind’t want them ta stay and hurtcha.”

“So you’re gone for five years and now you want to get back together.”

“I did wait for ya ta cool down.”

“I know. But what’s gonna happen now? What if we get back together and you disappear again? What then?”

“Then I’m taking you with me. I think yer tough enough ta fight off Jer now.” Raph smiled. Kylee smiled weakly back. She wasn’t sure she could trust Raph. He disappeared twice in their lives already, each time she went through hell worrying about him. What if he disappeared again and never came back? Kylee couldn’t bear a third time, she’d kill herself. Raph saw the uncertainty in her and made her look at him. “I love you too much, what if you leave again?” She whispered, her eye’s wavering. Raph smiled, chuckling softly. His eye’s grabbed hers and Kylee couldn’t look away, but she didn’t want to. “I’m not goin’ anywhere” He said, kissing her again. This time Kylee wrapped her arms around Raphs neck and kissed him back, not hesitating to try and bring him closer to her. Raph pulled her closer and closer to him until they were chest to chest, smooshed together, until not even air could pass through them.

“Raph, I hate it that I love you.” Kylee murmured in mid kiss, Raph pulled away for a moment and smiled wickedly. “Well then I guess I gotta challenge then” and he kissed her again.
