Promise (Raphael X Reader)

Picture of Richard "Dick" Grayson.

It is the last weekend of summer. Nothing like labor day weekend. Most of the kids probably went to their parent's cabin that's by a lake and party. Beer being chugged, and trashed. While smoke fogs the area. Me, I'm at the mansion's pool with Barbs while the boys are at the gym. I worked out with her earlier today for a change of pace. The boys were training with Richard.
"So I know this out of my place, but who do you text?" She smiles a sly curious grin.
"It's not like that, I just made a friend." I reply.
"That's why you always smile and blush." She's teasing now.
I sigh, "It is just a friend, I just also like them and don't want to scare them away."
"Huh, meanwhile you don't really like people, do you. Well, I just wanted to make sure you're okay, and not sending things for money." She jokes.
"Gross. And I think you meant Dick wanted to make sure I was okay." Whenever Richard wanted to know something he asked Barbs to find out.
"That obvious huh?" She lifts her sunglasses up to her tied ginger hair, displaying her bright blue-green eyes.
I nod my head yes.
"Hey uh, is anyone gonna be home tonight?" I ask her.
"Bringing your friend over?" She winks at me.
"It's the last night of summer, after tonight I won't be able to hang out with him as much. Since we're going back to hell." I explain.
"As far as I know you'll be alone. Just don't get pregnant." She smiles and winks playfully at me.
"Dammit Barbara." I didn't have a comeback, but the thought of me and Raphael even going that far made my cheeks redder than his mask.

It's evening and everyone is out. I open my window for Raphael. Within 10 minutes he was here.
"What's up (y/n)" he smirks at me. While flopping onto my bed.
I giggle, "well since this will be our last late night I figure we could go night swimming." I suggest. I know I was at the pool with Barbara earlier but we were on floats and tanning mostly.
"Uh, where are we going to swim?" He asks.
"Oh we have a pool, so no one will see you." I reassure.
While on our way to the pool I give a little tour of the mansion even though he knows the mansion since we had a lot of late nights.
"Right out these clear doors you can see a beautiful garden, and next to that is the pool and although you can't see it from here there's a hot tub." I end the tour.
"Hot tub, huh? Maybe we end our night there." He suggests with his sexy smirk.
Going through the door, we enter the pool area. Once we were by the pool chair I take off my towel to reveal my bikini.

Raphael pov
I was taking off my weapons and everything except for my clothes, I don't mind if they get wet. I turn to see (y/n) towel off and on a chair. I stare at her I don't mean to but she looks incredible. Shaking my thoughts I head her way.
"So it'll be just us?" I ask her looking straight into her eyes. "Wow. Her eyes." My thoughts were cut short.

Your pov
"Yea everyone else is out, Barbs and Richard have school tomorrow so they're out while they can, but Damian, Jason and I start Wednesday." I answer the red-clad turtle pulling him into the water with me.
"Why Wednesday? How come Barbara and Richard start tomorrow?" He questions me
"I don't know different colleges, and they chose to have classes on Tuesday and Thursday." I answer still tugging him to my direction I as I head deeper into the pool.
He nods trying to understand.

We were out of the pool and drying off in my room, I had my PJs on and towel drying my hair. The pool was fun we splashed, and I got thrown into the pool. I tried pushing him in but it was impossible, I'm surprised he even floated.
"That was fun." He comments getting out of the bathroom.
I look at my phone, "Dang we were there for a while." I turn my head towards the wall of muscle before me drying himself off. "Would you want to sleep over?" I bravely ask him.
"Isn't that girly?" He tilts his head to me.
"It's also late, and I rather have you here safe than you going out and probably getting hurt." I answer to him worried.
"Aww someone cares about me." He jokes.
I punch his arm, knowing it wouldn't hurt him.
"Alright I'll stay but as soon as the sun goes down tomorrow, I'm leavin'." He smirks. "He's is going to make me melt with that smirk."
Smiling towards him, I decide to go make popcorn before things get awkward.
After I came back upstairs I see that Raph already picked a show for us to watch until we fall asleep.

I woke up snuggle on top on Raph, I couldn't help smile. Nights like last made my summer. Of course, my moment is short lived.
"Hey, (y/n) have you seen-" Damian barges into my room, cutting himself off when he saw me cuddling a mutant turtle.
"Uh, I can explain." I blurt out silently not wanting to wake him up.
Slowly I get off the bed making sure he stayed asleep.
"Did you get lonely?" Damian teases me.
I felt my face heat up, "No I had him over last night and it was late so he stayed over." I explain.
"Okay, but why a turtle? Or how did you two meet?"
"Wait you think I would turn someone into a turtle, I'm not that petty. But I met him the night we moved in, we've been hanging out most of the summer." I answer Damian.
"Does anyone else know?" He looks at my door.
"Barbara kinda knew, she never met him, just knew I am seeing someone. Any more questions?"
"Yea, last one. Who is he exactly?"
I was hoping he wouldn't ask, "His name is Raphael, he's one of the vigilantes that Jason was snooping for." I mumble for only him to hear.
"So this will have to be between us?" Damian read my mind.
"Please, even he can't know that you know. At least for right now, I'll tell him later that you know but for now, you know nothing." I beg slightly.
"Okay okay, relax. But what about everyone else?"
"I'm not telling them. Jason will want to get involved, Dick will pull us out here, and Barbs might tell Dick."
"Good point. Look let's just order breakfast. Dick and Barbara already left for their classes. You keep him hidden and I keep Jason away."
"I owe you big time." I hug Damian before we went on with our plan.
