╔✫╝ Raphael snorted, pressing close to Leah. He didn’t feel at ease around a lot of people; even around his own brothers, vulnerability felt like weakness. He was supposed to be the tough one, the protector, the brawler – how could he be that, if he was also soft?

It wasn’t like that with Leah. He could be soft around Leah. She understood.

“Ah, that’s right, sorry, Lee. I forgot I was dating a dork.” Raph turned his head, just enough to place a small kiss on her face. “Y’alright? Sounds like you’re not all the way awake.”

image

           She pressed another kiss on the top of his head, arms snaking around his shoulders. For all her faults, for all her anger and inborn hatred, Leah absolutely ADORED the red-clad ninja. He was like her; angry and protective, and the bad seed of the world. He knew what it was like. It was one of the reasons she adored him so.

That, and sometimes he could be really funny.

“Never been better,” hummed the human, pushing herself off Raph and slumping next to him on the couch, eyes closing. She pressed herself into his side, tucking her legs beneath her. “Love you, my dude.”

🐢   ❝         well its even weirder when we live with the foot now after  dad dragging us into his crap .. i’m really not for dealing with that, no matter what LEO says ..             ❞ he murmured, moving as he turned on a couple lights in the room && made sure what was working or not. 

 ❝     thanks though, i .. i APPRECIATE it, its good to know you have my back, leah leah ..     ❞ he murmured, eyes softening as he looks to her.

         “I really don’t want to talk about living with the damned FOOT. ‘S not like we fought against them forever or anything.” Bitterness crept into her tone, even as she sneered. Lips pressed together, curled into disgust. “’Sides, like I said, you an’ Raph are the only reasons I’m still here. Leo needs time to recover, yeah, an’ I ain’t about to change things up on him, but… Man, I do not want to be around them right now.”

🐢   ❝          leah ——- ?? i didn’t expect you to FOLLOW ME .. after that blow up with the family earlier ..              ❞

          “Yeah, well– They’re not exactly the reason I stick around there much.” Aside from Mikey and Raph, Leah didn’t really get along with the rest of the family. Leo was too haughty, Splinter was a FUCKNUT, and Donnie– Donnie was hit or miss. Not to mention the other humans. No, she was better off hanging with Mikey. “’Sides, I wanted to come check on you, my dude.”

╔✫╝ Raph’s immediately much more perky, even if it doesn’t show outright; he leans close to Leah, mirroring her hum and closing his eyes.

image

“Love you, too, babe. What’s up?”

image

        Quiet grumbling, even as she leans against him. A five foot three turtle, and a six foot even woman; quite the odd pair. Not that Leah really gave a shit. If anything, she enjoyed the little differences. Dark eyes close. 

“Me.”

🐢   ❝          i’m the nickname maker ——- its in my blood y’know,              ❞ he joked, smiling up at her as he received the kiss to the top of his head, nodding after a moment while sticking his tongue out due to her pun. 

❝          well .. if they’re paying we can’t REALLY discriminate right ??              ❞

image

         “Rule one of business, my dude; you gotta cater to your clientele. If you over-saturate the market, ain’t nobody gunna want what you got to offer.” She winked, then moved to sit next to him. Her fingers played with the crumbs on the pan, scooping them up into a pile. “You find some good customers, and you play with them. You gotta make ‘em want to pay you.”

🐢   ❝          fair. that works though, thanks lei lei,              ❞ he murmured, starting to bag up the cookies he had left, glancing up at her. ❝          we haven’t hit the BRONX yet, if you wanna try there at all ..              ❞  

image

          “I’ll never understand where you come up with these names, my dude.” Still, she leaned over, pressing a kiss on top of his head. “I’ll take a peek. I have a few contacts I can get in contact with, though some are from the DRAGONS. Might wanna weed those out.”

From the grin on her face, the pun was totally intended.

💥 “ heh .. i’ll do my best, sweetheart.

         “Don’t call me that. Or I’ll kick your ass.”

🐢   ❝          right right, grammer is a thing. but cool .. if you wanna help grow some you can do that too i guess.               ❞ he murmured, shrugging a little as he debated on a cookie himself before sniping one from the tray.

image

       “I ain’t helpin’ ya grow shit, my dude. My best qualities involve sellin’, and gettin’ money outta people. So I’ll work on findin’ us new customers. You got it?”

💥 “ sorry darlin, that wasn’ my aim ———— it was to embarrass raphie.

         “Everything you do embarrass me. Might be a good idea to remember that.”
