“Excuse me?”

Leonardo turned to her with a baffled expression on his face, eyes wide and blinking. It wasn’t that he hadn’t heard her, but Odette’s words confused him, if possibly for only a moment, before an embarrassed fluster suddenly over-took his face. Cute? Him?

Turns out that it wasn’t far from a very delightful smelling safehouse, and it wasn’t like a locked door was going to stop him. He does lock it behind him again, though.

“C’mon. It’s fine, nobody’s here yet.” Raph keeps his hold around Leo’s shell, one shoulder tucked under Leo’s arm to keep his weight and help him along. He doesn’t know where anyone is. The lights are off, which is a good thing, and he didn’t actually read the sign so he doesn’t know what time the bakery actually opens, but it’s safe enough. He’s never been more grateful for a chair, though. 

Raphael guides his brother over to the stool behind the counter and makes sure he’s awake enough to stay sitting up, and then goes searching through the darkness for the first aid kit. They have to have one around here, right? They play with ovens all the time, there’s gotta be bandages around here somewhere.

     A pen tucked behind her ear and a roll of tape measurement in her hand, Liana navigated the various stage crew and performers mingling on the stage, looking for one person in particular.  A flash of blonde hair caught her attention and she hurried over to its owner: one of the dancers she was yet to meet.

[ text ; detty ] baby girl, just heard the news! they’re okay. [ text ; detty ] leo’s okay. raph’s okay. [ text ; detty ] are you okay? [ text ; detty ] my dad and i are heading down to the lair. long story. [ text ; detty ] do you think you or rene could bring shauna down here?  [ text ; detty ] sorry to leave you with her for so long. shit kept coming up before i could, like, pop over.

{~⚔  Leonardo wasn’t exactly sure what drove him to swing down and kiss her, but it was an urge that he couldn’t really ignore, so he took a chance and hung down in front of her to kiss the girl who makes him feel less like an abomination that other humans see them as. Her eyes look at him, at it’s just the kindest, softest and most loving expression he’s ever seen. 

Kissing her, actually kissing her, put him on a different plain, the entire world stopped and no one else existed. There’s an intense emotion that feels as if it’s coursing through his very veins. Like the longer their lips were connected, the more he feels her start to seep into him and it’s in that instant he knows she’s becomes the most important human to him. 

He needs her.

Leo didn’t want to pull away, but he wants to look at her. Cerulean blue’s meet the softest pair of blue’s he’s ever seen. After that kiss, how she kissed him back, he isn’t afraid anymore. 

A light is in his eyes as he looks at Odette, hands still lightly cupping her head as her hands still rest over his. A soft laugh echoes from his chest before he releases her only so he could flip down from where he was hanging to be on level ground with her. 

A hand lightly cupping her cheek once more. 

"Raphael, I do not fight! I do not think ballet lends itself to ninja kicks."

“I would give you a kiss on the cheek but you are TOO TALL. I need a chair, or you need to lean down.”

and there she goes, leaning down so that odette can smooch her cheek.
