Reaching Out - Leorai Fanfic

Chapter 2

"Where is he!" Raph said angrily. "He's kept us waiting here for the last hour!" he said now pacing back and forth. "Chill bro he's probably kicking some shell down south he'll be here soon" Michelangelo said calmly. "Well he should've called first instead of making us wait for him!" Raph practically screamed. "Woah woah woah what's with all the yelling your going to blow your cover" Leo said as he jumped onto the roof. "Sorry I'm late I was......busy with some foot soldiers" Leo lied. "See dude I told you it's all cool" Mikey said to his hotheaded brother. "Can it Mikey!" Raph turned to Leo "Do u have any idea how long we've been waiting for you!" "Raph I'm the leader of this team, if I need to take care I something your just going to have to live with it!" Leo exclaimed. Raph just growled angrily at his older brother. "Ok break it up you 2, Master Splinter is going to kill us if we don't get back to the Lair soon" Donnie said. "Exactly let's go" Leo said.

-----In the Lair-----

Once they got to the lair, Donnie went into his lab to tinker on something, Mikey went immediately to the tv to play video games, Leo went into the kitchen to grab something to eat, and Raph....just wouldn't let it go. Raph 
walked into the kitchen grumpily. "Your a horrible liar Fearless, where were you and why were you late because I'm damn sure that you weren't crushing the Foot" Raph demanded. "Would you let it go Raph, so what if I was late and so what if I wasn't crushing the Foot, I was doing something...important" Leo said as he grabbed a piece of pizza out of the fridge, but as soon he turned to face Raph, he had a hint of blush on his cheeks and Raph knew right away where he was. "You were with HER!" Raph yelled. "Keep your voice down!" Leo hissed. "I can't believe this! So you were tongue wrestling with the Foot while we waited on a roof for an hour!"  Leo blushed "I was not tongue wrestling with her! I was just helping out a friend." "The Foot is not our friend!" Raph yelled. "You don't know her like I do Raph! She's different...she's in trouble" Leo stated. "I can't I just can't! I'm telling Master Splinter" Raph said as he started walking away. "No I don't think you understand! I NEED to help her!" Leo yelled. Raph turned around "Why! Why do you NEED to help her Leo!" Leo had lost it so he yelled without thinking "Because I love her and I don't want anything to happen to her!" There was what seemed like a very long silence. Raph was about to open his mouth to say something when Leo just stormed out of the kitchen and into his room while Raph just stood there dumbstruck.

----The Next Morning----

After the usual training session in the morning, Donnie and Mikey went to the main area to play video games while Raph read a comic. Leo on the other hand ran right out of the lair as soon as the training session was over. Both Donnie and Mikey were wondering where he had gone but Raph knew exactly where he was going.

----At the Apartment----

Leo came to the apartment with different bags of groceries, books, etc. He set all of the bags down in the small kitchen. He looked around the living room and kitchen/dining room and saw no sign of Karai. "Karai?" There could only be one more place she could be. He carefully opened the door to the bedroom. He was met by the sight of a small petite frame in the queen sized bed. He smiled at the sight because never before had he seen her so at peace. He walked closer to find she was actually wearing a small smile as she slept. 'She is so beautiful' Leo thought. He blushed slightly at his own thoughts. He knelt beside the bed to just admire her. After a few minutes she opened her eyes. When she looked over at Leonardo she still had the small smile on her face and she then looked a little deep in thought. "Leo, if this is a dream you can stay but if it's not I would strongly suggest getting out of my room" she said with her classic smirk. He smiled "Well it's nice to know you haven't changed" he said. He stood up "I'll be waiting in the living room ok." "Ok " she replied. He walked out of the room and she sat up in bed. She got up and put on the only thing she had left from when she lived with the Shredder, what she had on yesterday. She washed it yesterday before she went to bed the night before so she would look presentable. She went out into the living room and sat a distance away from Leo on the couch. He looked over at her and smiled "As promised I got you what you need" he gestured to the bags in the kitchen. She smiled an then it sorta faded when she started to think. "Why are you doing all this for me?" He blushed "Because I believe you deserve a chance at a better life" he said trying to hide the fact there was another reason he wanted to help her. She saw right through him "There's another reason, what is it?" Leo blushed even more and scratched the back of his nervously "What are you talking about there's not another reason." She scooted closer to him on the couch "Leo I'm the master of lying I can see right through you" she said as she placed a hand on his shoulder "you can tell me" she gave another one of her rare small smiles. He blushed at her touch and honestly didn't feel like he could lie to her so he said "u..um I...I m...might have s...sorta fallen f...for you a..and I just w..want you to b..be safe" he whispered and looked away. Her eyes widened slightly. Part of her expected this already from how he reacted around her but part of her was still shocked. She had always had a soft spot for Leonardo and even though she rarely admitted it to herself, she liked him too. Taking a deep breath she faced him. He was still looking down so she put her hand under his chin and twisted it so he was looking at her. When she looked at him he had the most heartbroken expression like she had stomped on his heart and threw it to the curb. The look by itself kinda made her want to cry and she NEVER cried. She shook her head. She then touched his cheek and let her thumb stroke it. She then placed her other hand on his cheek so she was cupping his face an pulled him towards her and planted a kiss on his lips.......
