Promise (Raphael X Reader)

Barbara Gordon in her Batgirl costume.

It is finally the weekend, well it is a Friday night, but my first week of school is over. The week was decent. Aside from the Foot Clan coming to our school, everything went pretty normal the rest of the week.

"So you'll be over after your patrol?" I question to Raphael on the phone.
"Yea, Leonardo hasn't been happy that I missed a few nights, so to get him off my case I've been going on patrols with them."
"You don't always go?" I question.
"Nah, sometimes I'm in trouble, I don't want to or I'm with you." He answers me.
"Huh, sorry about getting you into trouble." I chuckle a bit.
He laughs with me, "Better than being with them or alone... Sorry (y/n) I gotta get off the phone. I'll call ya' when I'm on my way." He hangs up.

My phone rings again showing that Raphael is calling me.
"Hey, open the window I'll be there in 5." I hear after answering Raph.
I hang up and go to the window to open.
A few minutes go by when my bed shifted. Placing my bookmark I turn to face a pair of emerald green eyes, a red mask, and a giant turtle.
"How was patrolling good looking?" I ask.
"The usual saved a bus filled with children," he flexes "Then I jumped onto rooftops and landed like a hero." He jokes.
We laugh, "Alright what do you want to do?" I ask.
"Not sure, do you have any new games?" He asks me.
"I wish, with school going on I feel like I don't have time to play or anything. I'm glad that Jason and Damian are studying the same thing and started at the same time." I sigh.
"I wish I knew how ya' felt? Never went to school. I actually have my GED, mostly because Donnie roped us into doin' online school." Raphael stated.
"Huh, I guess that was good on him. Make sure you have a diploma you know."
"Eh, I don't see the reason for it."
"Wait, you got your GED? How old are you?"
"Oh, I'm going to be 20 soon." He answers.
"Huh, so we're two years apart." I realize.
Standing up I stretch, "I don't know about you but I'm hungry."
"Alright, I'll check if the coast is clear hopefully we can cook." He smirks at me.
I quickly go to check to make sure no one is home.

"What are you doing?" Damian comes up behind me after I checked his room.
"Jesu- Damian. Raphael is here and we were going to cook." I answer.
"I'll be upstairs. Barbs and Richard are in the library, and Jason is playing vigilante."
"Thank you." I hug him.
"Just do me a favor, if you're going to screw him use a condom." He jokes.
I punch his arm, "we're just friends."
"Yea, that's why you're blushing." He leans on the wall with his arms cross.
"Ugh, I hate you sometimes. Fine, I like him and tonight I want to make a move. I don't know what to do though." I sigh.
Damian laughs at me. I push him lightly then head upstairs.
"So, are we good?" I hear behind pulling me out of my seething.
"Yea we're good, " I pull him up "so what do you want tonight?" I lead him downstairs to the kitchen.

As promised Damian stayed upstairs in his room. Although we were texting.
You: "okay, we finished cooking now what?"
Damian: "I don't know. Talk. Be flirty I guess. How did you rope me into this?"
You: "You are the one who decided to barge into my room."
You: "Okay. I'll try to flirt."
Locking my phone I grab the plates after Raph set the table. "Sorry, Damian was getting excited about his laser tag game with Jason." I enter the dining room.
"All good, " his emerald eyes glace at me, we lock for a second. "But I have to ask why don't hang out with your friends?"
I took my seat next to him. "We hang out, I mean we live together." He almost cut me off "I know what you mean. I guess with my moms gone, things are weird. It's only me, Jason, Richard, Barbara and Damian here. We practically grew up together, but they do have their own thing. Barbara and Richard are together, Jason and Damian are very stubborn and will do what they want, which is why they always fight with Richard. Then I'm trying to handle moving, going to college which I wasn't even sure if I should start after just moving... I guess I'm trying to find my own path that isn't with them."
I felt a strong hand intertwine with mine, "Hey, you're amazin' in your own way. I'm confident that you'll find somethin' that's not with them." locking my eyes with his I take a breath. A with few beats pass, inching closer.
"(Y/n), " his deep rough voice breaks the trance. I bit my bottom lip, scared of what he'll say? Scared of what I'll do?

A/N
Sorry for the cliffhanger and having this short, but I figured I'll try to keep you interested in the story.
