TMNT: 2003 Boyfriend scenario - Love Is Blossoming.

Bonds grows stronger - Raphael

After your introduction with Raph, things became very interesting. He kept his words and did indeed watch over you. You often felt his presence or that someone was keeping an eye on you, but funny enough it didn't bother you all that much.

Through the weeks Raph had come to visit you many times. He still used the excuse with he was watching you, but after have been with him so long, there was more to it than that and you both had developed the bond of frienship. Normally when you went home from school Raphael would be there waiting for you, but today the only thing you found was a note saying:

See ya later tonight - Raph

You sighed shaking your head. Of course if he weren't here now you would see him later. He sometimes did went with your to the gym watching you train. Since the gym always were empty it wasn't such a big deal if he came or not.

You started gathering your training stuff in a pile, before getting your bag and stuff your things into it. After that you went out of your room, placing your bag at the front door and spend the rest of the time with your brothers.

 <<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

As the clock passed  11 o'clock and your family more or less had settled to dreamland, you took your bag and headed for the gym. The good thing with having a boyfriend who's dad owned the gym, was that you always knew where the spare key was. You locked yourself in and put your bag at the bench as you always did. You changed into your (f/c) training clothes, folded your hands into a brown fabric and positioned yourself at the punching-bag.

Soon after you had started beating the punching-bag, you heard the faint sound of feet landing on the mat behind you. You smiled to yourself and kept punching the poor bag as hard you could. When the feet behind you neared, you turned around and made a front kick, just to let your leg be grabbed.

"Woah, someone's moody," Raph said sending you a smirk. "You really thought that you could take me down?"

"I have the right to dream," you replied.

"Dream bigger missy."

You rolled your eyes. "Whatever you say. Now would you mind letting go?" He let go of your leg. You placed a hand on your hip with a raised eyebrow. "Why do you look like someone kicked you into a container."

"Because one of the dudes did throw me into one," he admitted. "But don't worry. I threw him into two."

"Of course you did." You turned again and continued your actions from before, letting your blows become more and more aggressiv. While watching you, he shook his head and went behind your punching-bag, holding it to prevent it from swinging while you beat on it.

"Mind telling me what that earlier was about?" he asked after a few more jabs.

Earlier on the day, while your boyfriend had taunted the small students for their lunch money, you had overheard a conversation with him and his best friend (???) that had been the one   ambushing you. As you figured out (???) actually had been right about your boyfriend, you as the calm person you are, went up and slapped them both in the face.

"I broke up with a jerk," you answered and let your anger be shown every time you hit. "(???) were right, I had been sold out. Just one big play to earn some money." 

You started kicking the punching-bag with your knee for all force you had. "Think of it as a good opportunity." Raph let go of the bag and stood in front of you, making you stop hitting. 

You looked at him feeling your blood start boiling, but just clenched your fists holding it back. "What opportunity?! A good opportunity to make me look like a foolish idiot?!"  

"No. A opportunity to change, to stop being like him." Raph didn't even winch the least, knowing you were well enraged.

"What do you...."

"You're not with that jackass anymore.  You don't have to act so heartless anymore. Showing how you really are don't make you less tough." Just as he finished his sentence, you tried to pull a punch at him, but Raph are after all a ninja for a reason and caught you hand.

"Let go of me your jerk! What would you know. You know nothing about me!" you screamed at him and tore and pulled as crazy trying to get your hand free. "You're a asshole just like him! You just play with me too! You don't care about me! You...you..."

With your free hand you made a halfhearted effort to hit him, but he just grabbed it too and held both your hands firmly. After awhile with more screaming and pulling, you stopped fighting and your words turned into sobbing. Tired you let yourself drop to your knees.

"Sorry," you whispered barely audible. "I-I didn't mean..." You felt your hands be released and Raph kneeling before you with a surprisingly soft expression. He hugged you tightly and rubbed your back.

"It's alright, I know."

Not able to help it, you felt your facade crack and tears appear. For the first time you cried in front of someone and he didn't let go. The rest of the night till you had cried your broken heart out, Raph stayed with you.
