A couple weeks had passed since their break up and Raph was doing better. He still felt awful about the whole thing and he was dying to call Casey up to hang out but it was still too soon for that. He still loved him way too much for that... His brothers had been trying to fill the empty space Casey had left in his life.

Even Leo had dragged him out of the lair with him, "I can go look for evildoers with you too, you know."

"Evildoers? Who talks like that?" He answered but followed anyway. In the end it had been all right but it wasn't the same. He decided to push Leo's constant need to try make him feel better by suggesting they have a few beers on the roof.

He had looked completely appalled at first and then quickly schooled his face into what he probably thought was cool and composed, "Yeah, a couple 'cold ones'." He used air quotes. "Heh heh, I'm in." He pointed finger guns at him and did the most awkward wink and smile combination ever.

Raph let him hold the pose for an uncomfortable moment and then laughed,"You suck so much at this." He said as he tried to keep his face serious through Leo's petulant pouting. "Come on, lets go home, you dork." He punched his brother playfully in the shoulder and turned in the direction of the lair.

"Oh, thank God! Yeah, okay." Leo looked ridiculously relieved. They both laughed on the way home.

"I, uh, talked to Casey." Leo said after walking into the lab the next day where Raph and Donnie were hanging out talking about upgrades to the Shellraiser's weapons.

Raphael stiffened and Donnie went quiet, eyes darting between the two. Mikey suddenly popped out of nowhere 'how in the world had he heard anything?' and now they were all sitting around the table as if this was some kind of war committee talking about their next strategy.

"What? Why?!"

"He said he was trying to reach you and you weren't answering his calls. He sounded desperate on the voice mail."

The voice mails. He had listened to a few but when it made him feel like shit he decided he would just delete the rest without listening to anything.

"What did he say?" Mikey asked in the tiniest and most hopeful voice ever.

Raphael rolled his eyes. "Probably something stupid."

"Well," Leo eyed Raphael deciding on how to continue, "when I told him we already knew about you two he told me everything. He said he was really sorry about how he pushed you. That he was angry and frustrated and that..." Leo swallowed thickly, it wasn't his place to say this and he'd told Casey but he also knew that he wanted his brother to be happy, "He said that he loves you. He wants another chance."

The room went silent and all eyes were on Raph. "No." He said to the room and he was surprised at how calm it came out. "It's going to be the same thing all over again, neither of us have changed. I'd rather we just let things go and get over it so we can go back to being friends again sooner."

"But some things have changed." Donnie pointed out, not willing to let it go. "We know about it now. Wasn't that one of the reasons why you broke up?"

"Splinter doesn't, we'd still have to sneak around."

"Dude, we always sneak around Splinter, that's nothing new." Mikey added and sometimes Raph forgot how smart his brother was for some things. "It's not like you'd be able to kiss each other here in the lair while he's standing right there even if he did know and was okay with it, or spend the night with him, or sneak him into your room. Plus, you don't seem like the hand holding, lovey dovey, pet names kind of people." Mikey demonstrated by making kissy faces and sparkly eyes at Raph. Sometimes Raph also forgot how annoying his little brother could be. He smacked him over the head but Mikey dodged.

The others snickered at the image it brought but looked away in feigned innocence when Raph sent a glare their way. The look turned pensive as he mulled it over. "It doesn't changed the fact that we're... so different. He freaked out when he saw I had a tail. It was super embarrassing."

"He freaked out or you freaked out?" Leo asked. Having talked to Casey he understood a few more things now.

"I freaked out at him freaking out!" Raph answered with an angry blush on his face. He got up and walked out. As far as he was concerned he was done with this conversation.

Less than a week later he was running across rooftops heading to one in particular where he was meeting with his brothers to see the 4th of July fireworks. It was a rooftop they liked because it was tucked by the windowless side of an abandoned building and part of it was in shadow and hid them from view while still being really high up. His brothers weren't there when he arrived.

"Hey." Casey waved at him and approached as he landed.

If Raph had seen him first he probably would have turned around and left without a word. But he hadn't seen him, Casey was probably hiding in the shadows. This was a set up and his brothers had a hand in it. He scowled when his heart sped up at the sound of Casey's voice. His excitement over seeing him again was completely overpowering the feelings of betrayal and anger he was trying to tap into. It was annoying the hell out of him.

"Why are you here?" He asked as he crossed his arms in front of him defensively.

"Raph, I... give me another chance." He looked around uncomfortably scratching his head and pushing back his dark locks. He wasn't wearing his bandanna. "I talked with Leo and I think I understand your position a bit more. We can work this out. I promise I've changed."

Raphael sneered. Those words couldn't sound more scripted if he had pulled out a paper and read them. It had Leonardo's interference written all over them. "How long did it take you to memorise that shit?"

Casey winced, and Raph turned away intent on leaving things before they said anything else they would regret. "Wait! Raph, look I'm really sorry okay. I was an asshole! But you were an asshole too! You could have told me what was going on instead of letting me think you didn't want me at all, you know? Fuck!" He wiped his face angrily with his fist. "You mess my head up, man. I've been fucked up since you left, bawling like a stupid baby." He finished miserably.

Raphael had stopped walking towards the ledge at the crack in his voice and stood in silence to hear him out. "I fucking love you so much and I thought you... didn't." Casey continued. "Every time you pushed me away and I didn't understand why I thought you were rejecting me, it hurt. I thought it was because I was human and you weren't attracted to me because I was different."

Raphael turned around quickly, "You thought I wasn't attracted to you because you are human? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Why would I even date you if I wasn't attracted to you?"

"I dunno, I just thought..." He sighed and shrugged. "Leo told me about..." He waved his hands around vaguely. "Why you thought I wouldn't like you when I knew about you, about how different we are."

"What did he say?"

"Man, that is one conversation I do NOT want to think about ever again. He ended up stuttering and going like dark purple and calling Donnie over. He drew diagrams, dude, diagrams. I had turtle dick diagrams drawn over my notebooks in 'accurate detail'. I was not expecting a turtle sex-ed class by your brothers, man." He started laughing in his annoying screechy voice he did when something was really ridiculous and Raph couldn't help but chuckle with him.

"I am so glad I wasn't there."

Casey stopped laughing and stepped closer, reaching out and pulling Raph to him, leaving his hands on the sides of Raph's belt as he looked down at him. "Look, I know you're different, I got eyes, ya know? I can see you're a mutant turtle and you're not going to freak me out, not with your alien shaped cock or the stupidly long orgasms or the insane amount of cum, you hear me?" Raph smacked his face with the palm of his hand, completely embarrassed by his brothers. That must have been one hell of a conversation. "Are we, okay? Give me another chance?"

"Yeah," he smiled after composing himself and grabbed Casey by the collar, tugging him down and giving him a rough kiss. They both moaned at the contact. He loved the way Casey smelled and tasted. He had missed him so much. Casey answered his kiss hungrily, sucking in his tongue and biting down on it gently. His hands were tugging on the edge of his carapace trying to press their bodies as close as possible.

After a few minutes Casey pulled away with a groan. "We're supposed to be watching the fireworks." He moved his chin in the direction of the firework display going on behind them.

"Fuck the fireworks." Raphael answered breathlessly and he pulled Casey into the darkened corner of the roof, his fingers sliding under Casey's shirt to touch the soft skin over his hips. As embarrassing as it was to have his brothers explain to Casey about mutant turtle anatomy it lifted a huge weight off his shoulders knowing that he was cool with it. That he knew it all and still wanted him.

Raphael shoved Casey against the brick wall and pinned him to it by his hands and a knee between his legs. "Are you sure?" Casey asked with his eyes closed and his head leaning to the side to give Raph's wandering mouth better access to his neck. "I can wait if you're not, Raph. Nnngh Raph!" Raph was biting along the soft side of his neck and Casey couldn't help but grind against Raph's firm thigh. "Fuck." He said under his breath when Raph started pulling at the zipper in his jeans with one hand while he tugged at his hair to get a better angle with the other.

He didn't know Raph like this, urgent and demanding, excited and relaxed. His head was spinning with the turn of events and he decided to just go for it. He pulled away from Raph for a moment. "Just, fuck, Raph, just give me a second." He gave up on pulling Raph's hands away and just sank to his knees, Raphael following him while he reached over to his backpack to pull out a blanket he had shoved in there hopefully in case things went well.

"The fuck are you doing?" Raph stilled when he saw Casey unfold the blanket and spread it on the ground. "You making a fucking picnic? You gonna pull roses out your ass now or something? I swear if you start lighting candles I'm gonna punch you."

"No, numb nuts, I just don't want to get my back scratched up on the bricks."

"Well excuse me, Princess." He snorted but sat on the stupid blanket and grinned when Casey crawled over to him. God he was hot with his hair messed up like that and that hungry look on his face.

Casey pushed his knees apart and slid his hands over his thighs, then pushed Raph down onto his shell as he bit his lips softly making Raphael growl. "Tell me when you wanna stop and I'll stop."

Raphael nodded and pulled Casey's shirt over his head. It curled up under his chin and got stuck just under his shoulders and Casey had to sit up off of Raph to untangle himself from it before tossing it to the side. "Stupid human clothes." Raph muttered. He took advantage that Casey had his arms up and was wrestling with the shirt to rake his hands over Casey's bare torso, sitting up to flick his tongue over a hardened nipple. Casey gasped and Raph decided less clothes was better. He was tugging at the tiny zipper in his jeans again, struggling blindly with his large fingers as his mouth wandered over Casey's bare skin.

Casey slapped Raph's hands away and pulled open his fly as Raph's hands snaked to his lower back and tugged them down along with his underwear. "Raaaph," Casey moaned as his erection sprung loose and rubbed against Raphael's plastron while Raphael squeezed Casey's butt cheeks. Raphael lowered his gaze to Casey's hardened dick. He had done that, Casey was panting and rubbing himself on his plastron mindlessly because of him.

He painted a wide stripe with his tongue on Casey's chest and shuddered at his whimper. Then he reached between them to stop Casey's grinding his cock by holding it in his hand, feeling with his fingers from the base to the tip before stroking it experimentally.

Casey cried out loudly in ecstasy startling Raph before starting to thrust into his hands. Casey searched out his mouth to shove his tongue into him hunched into an awkward position before pushing Raph back down. He pulled on Raph's belt and pulled it out from under him, fishing out his sai and leaving them at a safe distance. They were out in the open, this was such a bad idea but Raph didn't care any more. God help whoever decided to interrupt him now that he'd made up his mind about what he wanted.

"Raph, I want..." He groaned as Raph squeezed a little tighter and stroked him with the perfect amount of pressure. "I want to touch you, let me touch you Raph." Raph hesitated and stilled his hand. "I know what you look like, it's fine, I want it so bad Raph."

Casey was nudging his legs further apart with his knees and stroking the soft inside of his thigh. He inched his way up until he reached Raph's tail and brushed his fingers over it causing Raph to make a noise between a moan and a whine, shivering against him. When Raph didn't make any move to pull away and relaxed again he curled his fingers around it and pulled it gently, straightening it away from where it was tucked against Raph's body.

Raph's was shaking and moaning helplessly as Casey stroked it gently, feeling for the slit he remembered from his 'turtle junk master class'. He kissed Raph's warm cheek soothingly. Raph had stopped stroking Casey and was holding on to his body, his large fingers digging into the skin at his hips and his heels digging into the blanket. He'd have bruises tomorrow but he couldn't care less. He found the slit, his tail was stiff and swollen now, jutting upward between his legs, the opening parting slightly to reveal dark red flesh underneath. Raph whimpered when Casey dipped the tip of his fingers in him.

"Come on, Raph, give me your cock." Raphael could do nothing but obey, dropping down into his hand with a strained exhale of breath and Casey curled his fingers around it. It was larger than he thought, thicker and longer than his own, but not monstrously big. He could work with this, he thought as he stroked Raph gently and watched the soft flared tip open slightly. He ran his fingers over it squeezing it back closed, Raph was writhing under him, a continuous rumble emanating from his chest. 'Churring' his mind provided.

Raph's eyes were glazed with pleasure, his hips bouncing in time with Casey's stroking and Casey leaned forward, taking his weight on one hand over Raph's shoulder and pressing his dick to Raph's. He curled his fingers around them both and stroked them together, thrusting against Raph for added friction. It didn't take long before Raph was shaking again, his mouth opened and the rumble turned into a vibrating, reptilian moan. He began bucking his hips frantically, the flared tip wide open now, dribbling a steady stream of pre-come and Casey focused on sliding his fingers over it, pressing it closed with each pass.

With a violent shudder Raph came, his semen shooting over Casey's hand and onto himself. Casey came shortly after over Raph's plastron and he released his own cock and kept stroking Raph gently who was still in the throes of his orgasm. 'Stupid long turtle orgasms...'

Raph seemed to be dead to the world during most of the roughly two minutes he was in this state. His come spurting out in waves along with his strange churring sound that came and went as it varied in intensity. Casey hadn't realised how dangerous it was to do this out here until he realised how out of it Raph was during and after. It seemed like a really draining process. He had manoeuvred his body to lay down beside him, kissing him and stroking him until he was done, watching the fireworks out of the corner of his eye every once in a while but mostly he kept his eyes on Raphael who clung close to his body.

'Welp, I didn't like that blanket anyway.' He thought as he used a dry corner to wipe Raphael's plastron off as he dozed, head on his shoulder and breathing into his neck. There seemed to be turtle come everywhere. Over Raph's body, pooled between and around his legs. It was kind of gross and hot at the same time and not for the first time he was glad for that awkward explanation. It would have freaked him out a bit otherwise.

Raph was stirring and Casey kissed him to rouse him further. "When do you have to go back?"

Raph hummed against his lips, a satisfied smile curling them upwards. "Could tell Leo I'm staying at yours, let him deal with explanations." He considered he deserved a little payback for meddling. "Is your mom home?"

"No, she's out til 9 AM. Got the night shift." Casey sat up and pulled Raph with him, wiping his legs with the blanket while he held him steady with his other hand. He rolled up the wet blanket and stuffed it back into his backpack. 'Turtle jizz in my school backpack, nice.' He thought to himself.

Raph looked slightly embarrassed at his sigh, "Sorry about the blanket."

Casey pulled him close and pressed his lips to his mouth, biting him before he could continue. "Come on, let's go. I have a few ideas about what to do the rest of the night at my house." He grinned showing the gaps in his teeth.

"I bet you do, ya perv." He punched Casey playfully and Casey cackled as he ran off ahead. "I'll meet you there I gotta stop by the store to buy a couple things. Want anything?"

He thought for a moment, "Nope." he answered and meant it. Here, on the roof of this building high above the humans who watched the fireworks exploding around them he had everything he ever wanted.
