prompt -"Putting their foreheads together and just being content with each other's presence"
The lair was dimly lit as Raphael returned from his nightly patrol, his mind still buzzing with the events of the night. But as he stepped into the living area, his gaze immediately found you, sitting quietly with a book in hand, a small smile gracing your lips.
Without a word, you rose from your seat and approached him, your presence a soothing balm to his restless soul. Raphael's heart swelled with affection as he closed the distance between you, a silent understanding passing between you as you stood face to face.
With a soft sigh, Raphael gently pressed his forehead against yours, a wordless gesture of love and reassurance. In that moment, the world outside faded away as you both found solace in each other's presence.
The weight of his worries seemed to lift off his shoulders as he leaned into you, finding comfort in the warmth of your embrace. In your shared silence, he could feel the depth of your connection, the strength of your bond, and he knew that as long as you were by his side, he could face anything that came his way.
For a moment, time stood still as you stood there, your foreheads pressed together in silent solidarity. It was in moments like these that Raphael realized just how much you meant to him, how much he cherished the quiet moments shared between the two of you.
Reluctantly, you eventually pulled back, but Raphael's hand found yours, his grip strong yet gentle as he looked into your eyes with a sense of profound gratitude.
"Thanks," he murmured, his voice rough with emotion. "For always being here for me."
And as you stood there together, basking in the quiet connection you shared, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as you had Raphael by your side, you would always find solace in the simple yet profound moments of tranquility you found together.

Bayverse TMNT X nerdy male OC (y/n)

Rated PG
Spying Again
Raphael’s POV
He was so effing cute.
He probably thought it was creepy when I would peek into the McDonald’s window late at night to see if he was there, which he was. He always was.
Y/N sat at the same table, reading, every day. Some nerdy book, always something about a particular branch of science I never cared about anyway.
His hair was so soft and I wished at that moment I could comb my hands through it. That I could sit there with him while he rambled on about something that I’d never remember or understand because of how much smarter he was than me.
Y/N noticed me, and glared. I ducked back behind the bushes where nobody could see me. Dammit. Busted.
A few minutes later, Y/N had stormed out of the McDonalds and stomped over to my hiding place.
“What are you doing?!” He demanded.
“…Spyin’.” I replied. No point in lying to him. Y/N could see right through me.
“We’ve talked about this, Raph. You’ve gotta stop following me everywhere, especially places as public and lit and full of people as McDonalds!” Y/N whisper-shouted.
“I’m sorry!” I defended. “I just-”
“No. No sorry. Just stop. It’s dangerous, it’s creepy, and it’s annoying.”
I bit my tongue. I knew he didn’t mean it the way it sounded, but it almost felt like he was calling me creepy and annoying.
“K. Fine. I’ll stop.”
“Promise?” Y/N held out his pinky finger. He was so immature.
Frickin adorable.
“Promise.” I sighed, hooking his pinky with my third finger, much bigger than his.
I totally lied.
Next night, I sat behind the same bush, watching the cutie read his science book and drink his usual. A vanilla iced latte. Always a vanilla iced latte.
Fortunately, Y/N didn’t notice me this time. Or, at least, I thought he didn’t…
When I got to the lair, I realized I had several texts from Y/N.
«Dude, I can see you.»
«I thought you were supposed to be a ninja. Jerk. I told you to stop following me.»
«Raph, somebody is gonna see you.»
«What am I gonna do with you?»
«RAPH ANSWER YOUR BLOODY PHONE I KNOW YOU HAVE IT»
I sighed, and texted Y/N back.
«I wasn’t following you. We just happened to be on patrol, I thought I’d check in.»
Several minutes passed before he replied.
«Liar.»
I didn’t know how to answer. Y/N was right, I was being careless.
«sorry»
No answer.
“SORRY?!” My door slammed open, making me jump and nearly drop my phone. Y/N stomped in and pushed me- tried to push me. He was too little to really do anything. So cute, so hard to take seriously.
“Y/N?”
“‘Sorry’ isn’t gonna protect you if somebody sees you, calls the wrong people and you get captured! Sorry isn’t going to stop scientists running experiments on you or dissecting you! SORRY ISN’T GOING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER IF I LOSE YOU!” Y/N screamed.
“WELL MAYBE I JUST WANNA BE THERE WITH YOU!” I screamed back.
Y/N took a step back, and we both realized what we had just admitted.
I went first, and took a deep breath. “Maybe I just wanna be there too. Maybe I just… I wanna buy you your vanilla iced latte, and sit in McDonalds with you, and just hold your hand and listen to you talk about whatever you’re reading about. Maybe I just… I wanna be able to take you on a real date, and be part of your daily life. Maybe… Maybe I wish I didn’t have to hide, maybe I wanna be able to exist in public with you. Maybe I want people to see us, to see us and know that you’re my boyfriend, and that be all they see. I just… I just wanna go with you.” I sat on my bed, feeling defeated. I hated being vulnerable, and it definitely wasn’t easy around Y/N, somebody who I wanted to see me as strong and confident, not vulnerable.
Y/N sat beside me and leaned into my arm, gently placing his hand over mine.
“I know… but you’re being reckless…” He sighed. “I wish you could be there and sit with me at the table, and I wish I could lean against you while I read aloud to you… and I wish I could show you off and say to the world ‘Hey look, I found one. I found one and he’s all mine’… I don’t want you to get hurt, teddy bear.”
I blushed at the nickname. Ever since Mikey had started introducing me as a “big cuddly violent teddy bear”, that was Y/N’s pet name for me. I didn’t hate it, but I wished I had one for him.
“I won’t.” I promised. “Because this time, I’ll actually stop. I didn’t- I should’ve thought about your feelings.”
Y/N kissed my cheek. “Good.” He smiled.
Damn his smile. It was so cute. It made his eyes light up. And his cute little dimples…
“Dammit you’re adorable.” I muttered, kissing him.
you were in the dojo, waiting your turn to spar with one of the turtle brothers. Splinter had offered to teach you how to defend yourself from the footclan.
You had met the turtles when Raphael had saved you from a building that the Foot had set on fire. That was also the day you started crushing on the red clad turtle.
‘(Y/N)’, Splinter snapped you out of your thoughts.
‘Yes?’
‘Your turn, you shall spar with... Raphael.’ Oh no, every time Raph sparred with someone, you got so distracted by the flexing of his muscles and those beautiful green eyes of his.
‘Now, this is just practice, no weapons, no injuries. Is that clear?’ We both nodded. ‘Hajime’ Splinter said.
Raphael attacked immediately but you were able to dodge it. But after a minute or two, you were starting to get a little tired. Raph noticed and took the chance to grab you and pinned you to the ground. You tried to free yourself, but the turtle was just to strong.
Raphael smirked down at you, causing you to blush. ‘One more thing’, Splinter said, ‘If (y/n) can turn the tables, she wins.’ Geez thanks, cause I totally have the strength for that. Suddenly the most stupid plan crossed your mind; but you didn’t feel like losing a sparring battle today.
Even though Raph had pinned your wrists to the ground, you were able to lift yourself up into a sitting position. You crashed your lips onto his.
Raph wrapped his hands around you waist as he pulled you closer. This made you almost forget what you were doing in the first place. You grabbed his shoulder and pushed him down, breaking the kiss. He looked up at you quite bewildered, as if he’s only just now realized what had happened. The boys looked at the both of you in shock, and Splinter slightly snickered to himself. You smirked down at him as he was the one to blush this time.
The lair was bustling with activity as you and Raphael found yourselves alone in the dojo. With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Raphael approached you, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
"Hey there, [Y/N]," he said, his voice tinged with playful energy. "Wanna spar?"
You raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the corners of your lips. "Sure, Raph. But I hope you're ready to lose," you teased, knowing full well that Raphael never backed down from a challenge.
With a laugh, Raphael gestured for you to come at him, his grin widening as he took up a defensive stance. You wasted no time in lunging forward, your movements fluid and controlled as you engaged in a playful mock battle.
The two of you danced around each other, exchanging blows and banter as you tested each other's limits. Despite his tough exterior, Raphael was surprisingly agile and nimble, dodging your attacks with ease and delivering swift counterattacks of his own.
But as the spar continued, you noticed something different about Raphael. Gone was the usual seriousness and intensity; instead, he seemed lighter, more carefree, his movements infused with a playful energy that you rarely saw in him.
With a smirk, you launched yourself at him, aiming a playful jab at his side. But to your surprise, Raphael sidestepped your attack and retaliated with a tickle to your ribs, his laughter filling the room as you squirmed and protested.
"Hey, that's cheating!" you exclaimed, trying to fend off his relentless assault.
Raphael only grinned in response, his eyes sparkling with mischief as he continued to tickle you mercilessly. You couldn't help but laugh along with him, the sound of your shared laughter echoing through the dojo.
Finally, Raphael relented, his laughter subsiding as he pulled you into a tight hug. You leaned into his embrace, feeling the warmth of his body against yours as you both caught your breath.
As you sat there together, basking in the warmth of each other's company, you couldn't help but feel grateful for moments like these, when Raphael let his guard down and allowed himself to be goofy and carefree. And as you leaned into his embrace, feeling the weight of his love and affection, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as you had Raphael by your side, you would always find solace in the strength of his embrace and the joy of his laughter.

The lair was quiet, save for the soft glow of the lamps casting shadows across the room. You and Raphael stood facing each other, the air thick with unspoken words and the electricity of shared emotion. Without a word, he closed the distance between you, his gaze intense and filled with longing.
Raphael's touch was electric as he gently cradled your face, his thumb brushing lightly against your cheek as he leaned in to capture your lips in a heated kiss. It was like a spark igniting a flame, setting your heart ablaze with desire.
You melted into his embrace, the world around you fading into oblivion as you lost yourself in the intensity of the moment. Raphael's hands found their way around your neck, pulling you close as if he never wanted to let you go.
The warmth of his touch enveloped you, grounding you in the present as you both surrendered to the depth of your feelings for one another. Time seemed to stand still as you lingered in each other's embrace, savoring the sweetness of your connection.
In that moment, there was only you and Raphael, tangled in each other's arms, lost in the depth of your love. And as you stood there together, lost in each other, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as you had Raphael by your side, you would always find solace in the strength of his embrace and the passion of his love.

The lair was quiet as Raphael returned from his nightly patrol, the weight of the city's troubles still heavy on his mind. But as he stepped into the dimly lit room, his eyes immediately found you, sitting on the couch, a small smile playing on your lips as you looked up at him.
Without a word, you rose from your seat and approached him, your arms open in silent invitation. Raphael's heart skipped a beat as he closed the distance between you, his muscles relaxing at the thought of being enveloped in your embrace.
And when you wrapped your arms around him, pulling him close, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief. Your touch was like a balm to his weary soul, calming the storm of emotions raging within him.
He squeezed back just as tightly, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort flood through him at the familiar embrace. In your arms, he felt safe, loved, and utterly at peace.
For a moment, the world outside ceased to exist as you lingered in each other's embrace, the silence broken only by the steady rhythm of your breathing. It was in moments like these that Raphael realized you weren't just his partner—you were his sanctuary, the one person who could make everything feel right in the world.
Reluctantly, you eventually pulled back, but Raphael's arms remained wrapped around you, unwilling to let you go just yet. His gaze was filled with love and gratitude as he looked down at you, his heart overflowing with emotion.
"Thanks, sweetheart," he murmured, his voice rough with emotion. "I needed that."
And as you stood there together, lost in each other's embrace, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, as long as you had Raphael's strong arms around you, you would always find solace in the sanctuary of his love.
