IS IT LOVE? (Completed)

"Is it love?" Chapter 7

They were walking through the roofs, holding eachother hands. They both know that this demonstration of affection wasn't really usual between them, but come on..do you really want to hide such a strong feeling of love just for keeping a pointless "reputation"? No. The real Love, with the capital letter, is with no walls, no hesitation to express what you feel, and so it's their love.
After a bit long walk, they reach an abandoned place, an old port, where they could sit and look at the moon, stars and at the reflection of those on the water.
They look at eachother eyes, Raph talked first:

"Y'know Leo? I've never felt so happy as I am now."

The other turtle smiled at these words, his eyes shining of love:
"Awh Raph, I am so happy as well, and also surprised for how much you can be romantic", he does a slight smirk after saying it, but the red masked answered with another, bigger smirk:

"Oh y'are underestimating me, I can be even more romantic if I want"

"oh really?" Leo said raising his eyebrow:

"Yes really, and Imma show ya sooner or later, ya won't believe in yer eyes fearless"

"if you say so, then I can't wait".

They smile to eachother, and kept to talk for a bit longer time, looking at the stars.
After it they would go around for searching some criminals to beat, after all it was their job, but they were having fun, and they didn't argue at all; Raph would listen to Leo's orders, but Leo would leave Raph being his impulsive attitude where it wasn't too necessary to have a plan.

They found their balance.

Finally those useless quarrels won't happen anymore;
Finally Raph will manage to control his anger;
Finally Leo will be a really perfect leader;
Finally they all will become a perfect team.

Two hours already passed and they came back to that place for heading home together.
All the turtles, after getting home, eating some pizza and watching TV, they go to sleep.
After one hour, the lair was silent, everybody was sleeping.
Just for one turtle the day wasn't still finished, he gets out slowly of his room, his green eyes looking around in the darkness while trying to not wake anyone up. He heads the exit of the lair and starts to go, bringing with him a big bag.

_____________________________

In the next day, and in the following days of all the week, everything went as always, and in the night they would always go to patrol, and the two lovers would give some time for eachother. Leo didn't suspect anything of what Raph was doing;
Infact, the red masked turtle, was getting out in the middle of the night everyday, coming back to home sometimes also at 4am, sleeping only 2 hours or a bit more.
His big brother noticed just the tiredness of him and he got a bit worried for it, but Raph reassured him, saying to not make of it a big deal and that sometimes it happens to him to have struggles with sleeping. It didn't actually reassured Leonardo so much, but it was enough for him to not investigate on it or ask more.

It was passed almost another week, and Raph and Leo was patrolling together as every night, but Raphael knew that today would have been a special day, he smirks at the thought "now you're gonna see how much I can be romantic".
His thought got interrupted by his lover voice:

"Uhm, Raph? Can you please tell me where we are going?"

"Well, we are goin' here!" He points to the blue masked turtle a old hotel, nobody used that since years.

"Uuuh.." Leo was still a bit confused "okaay..and what's in there? Dust, spiders and cobwebs?".

Raphael smirked even more:
"y'are gonna see", as he said it, he starts to get into that building, Leonardo following him curiously.
They walk still for a bit untill they reach a door, Raph opens it for Leo, making him pass first:

"after ya princess" he does a little bow, never stopping to smirk widely, his heart was beating fast and he was feeling very excited.

"Ha ha, I want to see you if I call you like-" He stops to talk as he saw what there was in front of him, his blue sapphire eyes was widen, he couldn't believe at his eyes:

"H-How.."
