neonleon | mcu/rise mashup

[It's their moment, yeah. Leo can tell Peter knows what he's doing, for a guy who's normally self conscious and nervous. It just warms Leo's heart even more, squeezing his hand while they dance. Not even seriously, just goofing, a mix of what feels right and his own ninjutsu moves.]

See? Totally the right place.

Perfect place. [He agrees readily, just happy to dance. He realizes belatedly he had laughed pretty loudly. He's still dancing but trying to reel it back a little.]

Sorry- if I was too loud. It kinda just- came out.

Oh my god, no don't apologize for that. Laugh all you want, no one's up here to hear it but me.

[Just leaning in close with the next few steps before he realizes how close he actually is, pressing nose to nose for a second.

Makes the split second decision to go for it, kisses him quick.]

[Whatever Peter had in mind to say drops out of his head at a kiss. He flusters, but responds best he can. Chasing the quick kiss while it lasts.

It's chaste, and a little awkward, but he wants the kiss.]

[OH!

He smiles as Peter chases after it, arm around his shoulder and kisses back this time, just happy. Feels like a pressure finally released.]

[Peter wraps his arms around Leo, just leaning into him as the kiss lasts.

Their faces don't perfectly align, but with enough adjustment mid-kiss they manage it.

He breaks away after a moment, very pink in the cheeks again, but smiling a very dopey kind of smile.]

[Oh that smile and face are perfect. Leo smiles even more seeing it, pressing forehead to forehead like this.

He wants this to last. He's a sap, and his brothers are going to give him so much shit for this, but who cares.]

Think I'd be embarrassed if you knew how long I was trying to ask you out.

Considering a truck blew up one time when I was asking, I feel like we're pretty even. [He keeps his arms looped around Leo, just wanting to hold him close.]

A truck blew up on you, Foot clan robbing a store for mine.

[This is perfect, though. He just keeps both arms around Peter now that he can.]

...Hey, wanna do something fun with me?

Why is our luck like this-?

[He blinks a little at the question, but doesn't hesitate to answer.] Yeah, what do you wanna do?

Let's pretend we were still waiting for April and we didnt't figure out it was a date she set up. Just see how long it takes.

[Peter snorts at that.] Are you sure Hueso hasn't like told her by now? He seemed like he was kinda aware of what she was doing.

I'm game though.

[Deadpan:] Hueso has more loyalty to me, his precious favorite turtle patron who buys more pizza than April who doesn't even like the place.

[Peter just snorts again. The look on his face is comically salty. Peter just kisses his snout a little.] Okay, okay, I'll take your word on that.

What do you wanna do, just keep texting her like we're confused?

Could. Or just wait a day or two and ask where she was. We hated eating without her, but she'd gone through the trouble of the reservation, so it would've been rude not to eat.

That works for me. [He doesn't pull many jokes on people, but this one seems fitting.] Honestly feels fair given she just set us up.

[Technically, they should thank her, but neither are dealing with that now.]

[Leo's going to thank her when it's her birthday. Until then, it's free jokes hour.]

Right, exactly. We'll just have a little fun with our own joke.

[Although... now that he's having a few minutes, he's realizing he knows his brothers and April really well.]

...I guarantee they made a betting pool.

Oh my god. They probably did. [He's briefly exasperated by the though, still gently pulling Leo along with him. A loose sway of a dance just to stay close.]

Where do you think they fell betting wise? I can kinda guess Donnie assumes we wouldn't figure it out.

[Oh... this is also nice? He keeps hold of Peter's hand to sway with him.]

Donnie definitely doesn't think we'd figure it out. Mikey probably on we did, for the sake of the romance. Raph.... Hard to say.

[A beat, two steps. Sighs.]

Pops definitely on Donnie's side.

Raph is a toss-up. He'd want to be hopeful, but... we've both kinda not gotten super far? [This isn't the weirdest conversation they've had by far.]

Probably? I don't know your dad as well as you guys. [Peter is friendly, but Splinter is focused on his shows for the most part.]

[Yeah, Splinter's just .... not involved.]

I'm his least favorite. He'd be thrilled to see me lose a bet.

I... how can you be anyone's least favorite? [The sentiment absolutely makes Peter confused.]

I know!

But Raph's the oldest and the leader, he says Donnie's the funny one, and Mikey's the baby so obviously.

[He sighs, resting his chin on Peter's shoulder while they sway together.]

Least favorite.

[Peter just sways with Leo. He lays a gentle hand against his boyfriend's shell.]

I think he loves you guys equally. I mean, that's what parents are supposed to do.

[He hums at that touch. Used to only his brothers or April touching their shell.]

...He's not like.............. a typical parent, though.

[He wouldn't outright say Splinter's a bad dad. They have everything they need and then some, it's just... Splinter's a little detached from them most of the time.]
