TMNT: 2003 Boyfriend scenario - Love Is Blossoming.

Abroad we go - Leonardo

Checking you list over again in your mind, you absent-minded fidget with your suitcase's lock. You had run down the list of destinations that was possible for you and the Hamatos to visit without creating panic, at least a billion times inside your head. Yet still you couldn't help but go over it another billion times.

Your parents died, while you merely had a chance to start in kindergarten, and your uncle and aunt hated you like pest itself. You were never given the chance to leave New York or go on vacation, yet here you now were; packing your last belongings, just few hours from flying to foreign country with your boyfriend and his family. For all in the world you wanted your first vacation to be a succes, and didn't want to screw up that one task you and Leo had received.

Actually, you and the rest of the girls were rather shocked two weeks ago when master Splinter brought up the topic and invited you to Japan as a vacation. You'd never imagine mutant turtles would be able to travl anywhere, but apparently they could. Just the morning after the invitation, tasks for your trip had been delegated out between the couples. In you and Leo's case your responsibility were to plan destinations or areas where it was possible for everybody to enjoy themselves, even with the handicap of being a talking, giant turtle that is.

A heartfelt chuckle resonated behind you. Startled you jerked you head back, just to find Leo behind you with a teasing smile. Winking at you, he came up beside you and reached out for the suitcase. Easily he closed the lock, you yet had managed to lock. "You're never getting that locked, if you don't focus."

"Leo..." you muttered as watching him straighten his back. "I thought you helped loading the Battle Shell."

"I did." He hanged up in your suitcase. "We're ready to head for the airport soon, so I thought, I'd come get you."

You gave a silent nod, which earned you a funny look from Leo. Studying you features, he lowered the suitcase back to the floor and instead brushed a strand of your hair away from your eyes. 

"You're still thinking that list over?" Once again you nodded with a much to serious look. Seeing you like that, Leo started chuckling again. "(Y/n), it's a vacation. It's alright if not everything go as planned."

"But...!" 

Your protest was stopped by a finger over your lips. "Uh uh, no 'but'. It's your first vacation, right? As any other firsts, you share with me, I want you to enjoy it." He removed his finger with a smile and took your hand in his. "Enjoy and relax, alright? Let me worry about the rest."

You're dutiful side wanted badly to protest, but found itself unable to. With Leo smiling at you, you couldn't help but let your excitement get the better of you.  After all it was your first vacation. Soon you'd be in a privat-plane flying over the oceans, so letting a little loose couldn't possibly do too much harm.

Grinning brightly, you forgot about worrying, and instead replied cheerfully. "Then, Japan, here we go!"
