Aaaand I made it Raph x Reader ^^'
No mention of gender BUT I wrote this while thinking that reader is female.
Could work for other versions but for this part my brain took me to BayVerse specifically.
Raph kept you pressed against his chest for hours. The mug long abandoned on the side table had gone cold a while ago but he couldn't bring himself to care about it, or how Leo stared at the two of you every couple of seconds. You on the other hand were struggling pretty hard with the situation you found yourself in.
You and Raph and bonded almost immediately after meeting at April's place, he made a stupid joke and you had laughed so hard you ended up not being able to breath, he had been surprised by your reaction then and had kept pushing his luck, believing he'd eventually do something that you wouldn't like but it was quite the opposite; every time he made a snarky remark at one of his brothers you had joined him with another, whenever he fought Foot soldiers and crushed their bones, you had cheered for him, when he went to your apartment to get patched up after an intense fight, you hadn't even asked who the sorry guy was that he had beaten up, you just believed him when he said the other person deserved whatever he had done.
He genuinely believed there was something wrong with you but, looking at himself, he believed there was clearly more things wrong with him than with you and since you kept dropping by the lair to see him and his brothers, he had taken a liking to you and that was rare. He couldn't exactly say he liked anyone other than his family, (maybe April and Casey was definitely pushing it) so liking you had been a very scary process of opening himself up and letting himself be vulnerable around you.
He hadn't even considered anything more than friendship until a month ago when you appeared as usual at the lair wearing nothing else than a top and shorts due to the intense summer heat and he completely forgot how to exist for a solid moment. The way the fabric hugged your figure and marked each and every one of your curves had kept his eyes glued to you all afternoon, only when Donnie physically pulled him away was he able to look and think anything else other than you. He's pretty sure his face must have been iconic because Mikey kept teasing him even to this day about how he looked like a fish out of water, opening and closing his mouth, swallowing hard and eating you up with his eyes alone. You hadn't noticed his very obvious reaction then because you had been on the brink of a heat stroke and Donnie and Leo helped you cool off with ice packs and water and you had thanked them over and over again for helping you through it so your mind hadn't exactly been paying attention to what Mikey or Raph had been doing then.
To say he was mortified was simply not enough to describe how he felt and he couldn't help but wonder if you were playing dumb on purpose. It's not like he had openly said "hey I like you, wanna be more than friends?" but he had asked you to stay the night, in his bedroom, all alone with him, in the summer heat, with him sleeping in nothing but shorts and you sleeping in the skimpiest pajama you could find. He was sure you had done that to torture him but it had actually been April's idea because "big guy, big heat, you don't want to melt in your sleep, do you?" and that had made a lot of sense to you. You had been very awkward the first night he asked you to stay but you asked "so a sleepover between friends right?" and his casual reply of "yeah, just a sleepover between two good friends" made you assume exactly that; he liked you as a friend and just that.
Now you on the other hand had considered him a good friend for about three to four days after meeting because your good close friend miss April O'Neil had opened her mouth and told you the two of you made such a cute couple and it had been downhill for you ever since. You tried to ignore the feeling that you and Raph could be something more than friends because you didn't want to scare him away with your feelings but the way he spoke to you or treated you or offered to accompany you home when it was late and carry you princess-style all the way back refusing to let go of you because "you're not that heavy, you know?" as he rose an eyebrow ridge at you completely melted you. But that was what he did with everyone right?
You told yourself he was just being nice but then you had told April over a late take out dinner how he would drop by your place to get patched up with your help and repay you with a sleepover and food in his place and the way her jaw dropped as she stared at you told you he might not act that way around anyone else other than you. It had given you a weird but nice feeling in your stomach as your friend had grabbed your shoulders and yelled at you to tell her everything.
And you kept on noticing small things, how he'd save you a slice of pizza, stopped Mikey from making you the target of one of his jokes, stand very close to you whenever you talked to any other guy and oh no, he felt the same way, didn't he?
And now you were pressed very much flat against his chest as you replayed each and every moment that had lead to this one.
You were pretty sure your heartbeat was increasing same for your temperature but it's not like you could move without giving yourself away since you were pretty sure your face would give you away so you had to endure being held in powerful arms, close, so close to the guy you had hopelessly fallen in love with while you tried not to let him know how you actually felt.
He was struggling as much as you were and was trying very hard to not think anything of how your nails were scrapping his skin and plastron and how he would love to have marks of those very same nails all over his body. He was physically restraining himself from shuddering every time you breathed and it would reach his bare skin.
Liking you was an understatement, he adored you and, if he had been afraid of scaring you back when you first met, now he was terrified of scaring you away by confessing his feelings for you. He couldn't lose you to wrong words and a messy confession so he did what he thought was best and just kept being your friend hoping one day you'd tell him the words he'd been desperately trying to tell you.
The two of you had been so caught up in your own feelings you hadn't noticed or heard how April had arrived and was talking with Leo a literal seat away from you both.
-It'd be nice to just be able to tell someone how you feel about them, right? - April was casually telling Leo when you tuned into their conversation to distract yourself.
-Absolutely, honesty is the base of any relationship - the turtle had agreed with her. You felt a low grumble leave Raph's chest as he side-eyed the two of them.
-But then again, how obvious do you have to make it to tell someone you like them? Like, do you have to actually them "I love you" or does it count when the other turtle, I mean person saves you a slice of their favorite pizza? - the redhead kept on talking as you slowly realized what she was doing. April could be sneaky when she wanted to but right now she was playing wing woman and she was not being subtle about it.
-At some point that has to count - Leo had chimed in, agreeing with her on the topic of the two of you - specially if both parties involved pull the "I need help with something specific and only you can help me with it" card, that's pretty obvious if you add everything else together. - He made sure to punctuate certain words of his phrase and as you looked up for the first time in the entire afternoon, you realized what Leonardo ment.
You saw, almost in slow motion, how the brute that was still holding you was considering something in his brain and went from confusion to denial to questioning to hopeful acceptance.
And his eyes locked onto yours and you were done for.
You were looking up at him, a glimmer of hope shinning in your eyes as he mirrored your expression. Something soft bloomed in his features as he swallowed hard.
-You… - he started very slowly, carefully testing the waters as he stared at you. You could feel his fingers twitch against your body as he tried to put his thoughts into words.
-Yes. - you didn't let him finish as you pushed yourself on his torso and pressed your lips to his.
His eyes shot wide open as you kissed him, tiny delicate lips against his rough beak felt like heaven to him and to you. He stiffed his entire body before relaxing and properly kissing you back.
It wasn't rushed, it was perfect, slow and beautiful as his hands held your waist and your own hands cupped his face as the two of you melted in a deep kiss.
-Finally! - April sighed in relief, clasping her hands together as she celebrated the two of you.
-Took them long enough - Leonardo leaned back on the couch, a smirk on his face as the two of them stared at the two of you.
Too preoccupied with breathing and keeping your lips pressed to Raph's, you didn't notice when April called for Mikey and Donnie and just pointed to you. You were very busy licking, sucking and exploring his mouth as he was doing to you.
By the way he was kissing you, it felt like he was starving and only you could help him. Low rumbles escaped his body as he pulled you impossibly closer to himself, you gasped against his mouth at the motion and he took the opportunity to take control of you, forcing your legs around his torso, causing you to moan as you dug your nails on his shoulders.
-Get a room you two! - Mikey shouted while Donnie and Leo couldn't control their laughter and April just shook her head but the smiles in all of their faces betrayed them.
You separated immediately at the comment, gasping for air as you pushed back, a string of saliva still connecting the two of you, you felt your cheeks burn at the embarrassment of making out in front of basically his entire family. You were shaking a bit but his strong rough hands held you grounded in the moment, one of said hands cupped your chin and forced you to look at him as he licked his lips, taking your shared saliva inside his mouth before offering you the most sincere and honest look you'd ever see in him.
The moment didn't last long as Raph turned to face his brothers, something resembling anger crept up on his features as he tightened his grip on you.
-Cut it out - he said, his tone stern and you were sure if looks could kill, everyone in the room other than you would be dead.
-C'mon! It took you sooooo long to get together. Let us enjoy it - Mikey moved closer, puppy eyes as he begged for mercy.
-And I owe Casey twenty bucks. Let me have this, okay? - Donnie commented casually as if betting on his brothers' love life was a normal thing to do.
Leonardo had to control his laughter once again as he knew Raphael was about to kill them all.
You couldn't help yourself but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. You were sure once your brain caught up to everything that had happened, you'd be embarrassed to death but you were silently hoping that moment would arrive between Raphael's arms and preferably in his bedroom.
