So Iāll have to split it into a few parts. Thank you for your patience with me š if anyone would like to be tagged in the next part please let me know:) itāll be out tonight!
Warnings: lil bit of freak
āā .ā¦
āYou should stay for dinner. Havenāt seen much of you lately.ā
Casey spoke absentmindedly, leaned back against the couch while some rerun hockey game played on the television.
Youād been busy lately. Busier than usual.
You loved spending time with your brother, but sitting around watching hockey highlights on repeat wasnāt exactly what you had planned for your Saturday night.
āIf itās okay with you and April, Iād love to,ā you smiled, sitting across from him.
From the kitchen, you could hear the faint sounds of dishes clinking together and a knife tapping rhythmically against a cutting board while April slowly worked away at dinner.
āYou hear Leoās home?ā
Casey asked, not even glancing away from the TV.
During Leonardoās absence, youād grown close with a certain hot-headed turtle.
Raphael would probably hate hearing you say it, but Leonardo really was the backbone of the team. Him leaving had made the others crumble like a house of cards.
Especially Raph.
Restless.
Harder on himself.
You tried helping where you could. Bringing dinner to the lair, staying longer than planned, listening when one of them needed it.
Somewhere between late-night talks and patched-up bruises, Raphael stopped feeling like only your brotherās friend.
Casey knew you cared about Raph.
He just didnāt know how much.
āYeah,ā you answered carefully. āI heard.ā
Casey snorted.
āWhole place feels weird now.ā
Before you could answer, movement outside the apartment window caught your attention.
Your eyes flickered toward the fire escape.
And there he was.
Massive shoulders hunched beneath the darkness, red bandana tails moving slightly with the wind.
Raphael.
He jerked his head once toward the rooftop.
Impatient.
Brief.
Like he expected you to understand immediately.
Before long, you watched Raphael haul himself further up the fire escape with practiced ease, disappearing toward the rooftop.
Caseyās attention stayed glued to the television, completely oblivious to what had just happened beside him.
You shifted on the couch and stretched your legs, trying to appear casual.
āWould you mind if I got some fresh air?ā
You nodded vaguely toward the window.
Most people would probably question why fresh air apparently meant sitting on a fire escape in the middle of New York.
Casey wasnāt most people.
Casey had spent enough time around mutants, rooftop patrols, and strange routines to stop asking questions years ago.
He reached for the remote, shutting the television off with a click.
āYeah, go for it.ā He stood, rubbing a hand over his jaw.
āIām gonna see if April needs help with dinner.ā
Your chest loosened slightly.
āThanks.ā
Casey only waved you off before disappearing toward the kitchen.
You waited a beat.
Two.
Long enough not to look suspicious.
Then crossed toward the window and slid it open.
āā .ā¦
The cold New York air hit immediately, sharp enough to send a shiver down your spine.
You definitely werenāt dressed for rooftops tonight.
Fingers curling around the metal ladder, you climbed carefully, shoes scraping against iron steps worn smooth with age.
The city sounded different up here.
Louder.
Sirens somewhere in the distance. Honking. The hum of people still moving below while the world around you slowed.
By the time your head cleared the rooftop ledge, Raphael was already waiting.
He sat on the rooftop edge, arms crossed loosely over his plastron.
For a moment, you only watched him.
In your eyes, Raphael had always been something unfair to look at.
The sharpness of him.
The scars.
The way he carried himself like he expected the world to swing first.
He turned toward you before you could linger too long, a small, knowing grin pulling at one side of his mouth.
āThere yāare,ā he said.
Your chest warmed immediately.
āHey, big guy.ā
The nickname earned a faint huff from him.
You walked over and sat beside him, leaning against his shoulder without thinking.
Neither of you questioned it anymore.
At some point, it had simply become normal.
āHowād you know where I was?ā you asked, tilting your head up toward him.
His arm came around your shoulders almost immediately, heavy and warm as he pulled you closer against his side.
Casual.
Protective.
Like breathing.
āCasey mentioned you were headinā over tonight,ā Raph muttered.
Your brows lifted slightly.
He glanced down at you then, the corner of his mouth twitching.
āSaid he missed havinā ya around.ā
You smiled softly at that.
Guilt tugged at your chest for only a second before fading.
āWellā¦ā you shifted against him slightly, āI was invited to stay for dinner.ā
His brow raised.
āYeah?ā
āI just said I needed some air first.ā
That earned a low laugh from him.
Quiet.
The kind you only heard when he was relaxed.
āHope itās April cookinā and not Casey.ā
You sat up immediately, looking at him with mock offense.
āWhat!?ā
Your hand came down in a light slap against his shoulder.
āCāmon, my brother can be a great cook.ā
Raphael barked out another laughāmore surprised this time.
āNah.ā
āYes.ā
āAbsolutely not.ā
āYouāre being dramatic.ā
āIām beinā realistic.ā
You crossed your arms.
āOkay-One time..ā
Raph stared.
You pointed a finger at him.
āOne time Casey burned pasta and suddenly heās banned from kitchens forever?ā
Raphael looked down at you with the most unimpressed expression imaginable.
āā¦The guy could burn water.ā
Silence.
Thenā
āā¦Okay,ā you admitted slowly. āSo he may not be the best cook..ā
His shoulders shook slightly with another laugh.
You froze for a second.
Watching.
Because moments like this with him still caught you off guard.
Raphael happy.
Relaxed.
Looking younger somehow.
Less like the turtle carrying the weight of everything on his back.
His laughter faded after a moment, but the small smile stayed.
āYer starinā.ā
You blinked.
āHm?ā
One brow lifted.
āWhat?ā you smiled faintly.
āI canāt admire my boyfriend?ā
Raphael looked down at you immediately.
Expression unreadable for all of two seconds.
Thenā
The corner of his mouth twitched.
āBoyfriend, huh?ā
His arm around your shoulders tightened slightly.
āDidnāt think we were there yet.ā
You blinked.
Your head pulled back fast enough to look at him properly.
āā¦What!?ā
He stayed completely serious.
You knew Raphael like the back of your hand,part of you knew he was just messing around
āSo what,ā you stared at him, already defensive, āIām just the girl you casually make out with every now and then?ā
The smallest huff of laughter escaped him.
You stood from your spot abruptly.
Two could play this game.
āWell,ā you sighed dramatically, dusting off your pants. āGuess Iām gonna head out then.ā
You barely managed a step before a large hand wrapped around your waist, halting your movement immediately.
āNo,ā Raph muttered, tugging you back toward him.Ā
āDonāt get like that. Yāknow Iām messinā with ya.ā
āMhm.ā
You hummed, pretending to stay unimpressed as you stared out across the city instead of at him.
His hand stayed where it was.
Warm.
Familiar.
āMaybe if you ask me nicely to stay, I will.ā You smiled faintly.
One brow lifted.
āWhat?ā A laugh slipped through his words.
āItās not like Iām gonna get on my knees and beg.ā
Something crossed your mind then.
Quick.
Mischievous...
Your smile softened before you could stop it.
āThatās not fair,ā you murmured.
āIām always on my knees for you, but youāre not gonna get on your knees for me?ā
The last part came out quieter than you intended.
Different.
The teasing underneath it dulled just slightly.
You watched his expression change almost instantly.
The smile at the corner of his mouth faltered.
A flush spread across his face before his eyes flicked away from yours.
āā¦ā
For onceā
Raphael looked caught off guard.
You smiled down at himāsoft, satisfiedā
before he moved suddenly.
Faster than you expected.
In one quick motion, he hooked an arm and shifted you off balance, guiding you down onto his lap before you could even react.
āHeyā!ā
Your breath hitched in surprise, eyes widening as you steadied yourself against him.
But then it settled.
And you realized exactly where you were.
His arms around you.
Warm.
Solid.
Like you belonged there without question.
The expression on his face softened the second you looked at him properly.
Something quiet and almost fond.
Like he didnāt know what to do with it, but he wasnāt stopping it either.
You lifted a hand without thinking and pressed a small kiss to his cheek.
He went still for half a second.
Then leaned slightly into you like it was instinct.
āYāknow I love ya, right?ā he murmured.
Carefully.
Like he was checking something real.
You didnāt hesitate.
āI love you too,ā you said softly. āWith all my heart.ā
That did it.
Something in his expression shiftedāsubtle, but real.
And before you could even process it, he leaned in first.
His hand slid to your waist, pulling you closer as he kissed youāslow, warm, certain in a way he usually wasnāt with anything else.
Your arms wrapped around his neck almost immediately, pulling him in just a little deeper.
It wasnāt rushed.
It wasnāt messy.
Just⦠real.
When you finally pulled back, the world felt quieter than it had a second ago.
Like everything had paused just long enough to let you breathe.
And thenā
A voice snapped through the rooftop.
āYou gotta be kidding me.āĀ
The words cut through the rooftop like a slap.
Everything stopped.
Raphaelās grip loosened instantly, his entire posture shifting in an instantāprotective, alert, ready for a fight before his brain even caught up.
You turned your head too fast.
And there he was.
Casey stood near the fire escape, frozen halfway between stepping fully onto the roof and turning around.
His eyes were wide.
Not angry yet.
Just stunned.
Like his brain hadnāt finished processing what he was looking at.
You.
Raphael.
Too close.
Too familiar.
The silence stretched for a beat too long.
Then Caseyās jaw tightened.
ā...I can't believe this.ā
His voice came out lower this time.
Sharper.
You instinctively shifted off Raphaelās lap, standing quickly, hands half-raised like that could somehow fix what had already happened.
āCaseyāā
āNo.ā
He cut you off immediately.
One step forward.
Then another.
His eyes flicked between you and Raphael like he was trying to find the joke in it.
āNo, donāt start with that.ā
Raphael stood too now, slow and deliberate, putting himself slightly in front of you without thinking.
Casey saw it.
And that only made his expression harden.
āGet out of the way, Raph.ā
āNo.ā
The answer was immediate.
Flat.
Casey scoffed.
āAre you serious right now?ā
āYeah,ā Raphael said simply.
That was worse.
The calm.
The lack of hesitation.
Casey looked at you again.
Really looked this time.
Something shifting in his expressionāhurt slipping in under the anger.
āHow long?ā
Your breath caught.
āCaseāā
āHow long has this been goinā on?ā
The rooftop felt colder suddenly.
The city noise below didnāt matter anymore.
Everything narrowed to that question.
And the way his voice dropped on the last word.
Like he already knew the answer wasnāt going to feel good.
āYou,ā Casey said, taking a step closer to Raphael.
His voice was low, but there was no mistaking the hurt in it now.
āI trusted you. You were my brother. I shared everything with you, I watched your back, you were my ride or dieāā
His jaw clenched.
āAnd now I find out youāre screwing my sister?ā
The words cracked through the air between them.
Raphaelās expression hardened instantly, but there was something flickering underneath it too.
Not guilt.
Not exactly.
More like heād expected this.
Still, the accusation landed.
Hard.
āCaseyāā you started.
āNo,ā he snapped without even looking at you.
āDonāt.ā
His eyes stayed on Raphael, blazing now.
āYou had all this time to say somethin'. All this time, and you kept it from me.ā
Raphaelās shoulders squared.
āWasnāt tryinā to screw anything up.ā
Casey let out a sharp, humorless laugh.
āYeah? Sure looks like it.ā
The air on the rooftop went tense and thin, like one wrong word could make the whole thing blow apart.
Casey turned away, like looking at the scene in front of him had become too much.
He took a long breath in through his nose.
Slow.
Controlled.
When he spoke again, his voice had dropped into something steadierādangerously steady.
ā(Y/N), go back to the apartment.ā
A pause.
āI need to talk with Raph.ā
You didnāt move right away.
Didnāt speak.
Because something in his tone told you this wasnāt something you could fix by staying.
It was already bigger than that.
Slowly, you stepped back from behind Raphael.
The space between you felt wrong immediately.
Cold in a way the wind had nothing to do with.
You glanced up at Raph once.
Just for a second.
His eyes flicked to you too.
But he didnāt stop you.
And that hurt more than anything Casey had said.
You turned toward the fire escape and left without another word.
The metal steps creaked softly under your weight as you descended..
