Reaching Out - Leorai Fanfic

Chapter 5

It was about 8 the next morning when Leo finally woke up. He opened his eyes and automatically felt pain in his chest. He groaned slightly at the pain. He was about to try to get up when he finally felt something holding onto his hand. He looked down to see Karai holding his hand while sleeping. Her head was on his bed but the rest of her body curled up along the side of it. He smiled slightly at just the sight of her here with him, then his eyes widened. 'She's in the lair! My brothers and Splinter are going to freak out!.....what even happened last night' Leo thought. He attempted to sit up but pain shot through his body "Ahh!" he yelped as he laid back down on the bed. Karai looked up immediately "Leo! What's wrong!" She asked with concern in her eyes. "I just tried to sit up and it really hurt...but what are you doing in the lair, if my family sees you it won't end well" he said in a weak voice. "Your brothers brought me here after I saw you....injured" she said as she looked away. She was still holding his hand and he squeezed it reassuringly. She looked up at him with a sad expression. "Now it's your turn, what's wrong" he said with a small smile. She moved so she was closer to his face so she could look directly at him. She took a deep breath "Why me?" she asked. He turned carefully so he was on his side. "What do you mean why you?" Leo asked. "I mean why me, why did you chose me to fall for?" she whispered. He smiled slightly "I didn't pick you, it just happened, I fell for you because your you" he whispered. "I'm not worth it Leo" Karai whispered as she shook her head and looked down. He put his hand under her chin so she was looking at him "Karai, of course your worth it" he whispered. "No I'm not, you could've died all because my father was looking for me" Karai said. "Karai look at me" he said. She looked up at Leo to see an emotion she's never seen before. Love. "Karai I didn't tell him where you were because I want to keep you safe and because I love you" No one has ever said those three words to Karai before. She felt like she might cry again but not out of sorrow but out of joy. Karai cupped his face gently and pressed her lips to his. Leo kissed her back and let one of his hands rest in her hair. Karai let one tear fall down her face. Leo took his thumb and wiped it away. She pulled away and rested her forehead against his. "I love you too" she whispered. He smiled. He was about to kiss her again when Donnie walked into his room. "Leo I..." He saw that Karai's and Leo's faces were very close. His eyes widened "Am I interrupting something?" Donnie asked nervously. Leo sighed and turned carefully so he was on his shell again. "Not at all Don what's up?" Leo asked. Karai just stood up and sat at the end of Leo's bed trying not to look annoyed that she and Leo were interrupted. "Um, well I came to see if you were awake which you obviously are so I want to tell you that you will need to stay in bed for the next 3-5 days, also we're going on patrol right now and Raph is going to fill in as leader" Donnie said. Leo groaned "Ok first of all I am not staying in bed for 3 days and second there is no way your going on patrol without me especially after what just happened" Leo commanded. "Well first of all" Donnie said mocking Leo's tone of voice "you will stay in bed or Splinter will kill you and second you aren't my leader until your healed and you also have nothing to worry about Leo, we'll stay safe, promise" Donnie walked out of the room.  Leo groaned again. Karai looked over at him and smiled slightly. "Cheer up Leo." Leo smiled "What's there to cheer up about" he said sarcastically. She smirked and crawled over to him so she was holding herself up above him "I have absolutely no idea what we could do in your room...alone" she whispered seductively as she brought her mouth to his. He blushed as he kissed her back. His hands went to her waist and she then straddled his hips. She brought both hands to his face and let her tongue flicker across his lips. He moaned slightly and opened his mouth and let his and Karai's tongues play with each other. She let her hands drag slowly down his plastron and stop at his belt. Leo shuddered in pleasure. Karai smiled against his lips. She let her fingers slide underneath his belt and he moaned. He took his hands away from her waist and moved them so they were on her wrists. He pulled away hesitantly "Karai stop" he whispered. "Why?" She whispered. "For one I'm not ready to go all the way and there's......differences we should talk about first" he whispered. She nodded "Your right" she said. "For know we can just enjoy each other's company" he smiled. He gestured for her to come lay next to him under the covers. She did so and smiled as she cuddled up next to him. He kissed the top of her head "I love you" he whispered for the second time that night. "I love you too" she whispered back to him with a smile. They both fell asleep in each other's arms.
