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.
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.
[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.]
He's a bit distracted sometimes. [That is the politest way he can put it. Peter barely knows Splinter, so he feels like he can't actively judge.] I only really have May, so, parents are kind of weird to me.
[It definitely isn't a 'first date' sort of topic. That's fifth or tenth date material, at best. But he sets Peter down, keeping hands on his waist and leaning in with a smile.]
You sure about this? Because like - I know for mutants and youkai, I'm a solid eleven, but I dunno about you humans. Might be a twenty. Too powerful.
[Peter just brings their foreheads together again, hand settling loosely against the back of Leo's shell. Unaware of how that likely feels. The fact they're finally doing this, going on a date, dancing, its a lot of things Peter wanted rolled up into one really good moment.
He means to go with something cocky and full of bravado, but his voice ends up quiet and hopeful.] I really want this.
[He didn't expect soft. He expected some joking banter like usual but - the soft is ...not unwanted. That anyone genuinely would want him is something he's given some thought to and then set aside given his family's whole... situation. But this, with Peter?
He looks down to take Peter's hands in his own between them.]
[Leo watches him, glancing down at their hands when he twines their fingers. But when Peter leans in, Leo just wraps his free arm around him to tug him close. This is... Nice. It's nice, and it's new, and for once he doesn't want to fuck this up.
But with the brush, he breathes in for a moment. Then follows after it with another.]
[Peter presses another kiss against Leo's beak, only moving out of his hold to sink onto the rooftop to sit down. He opens his arms a little hopefully.]
Peter Pile. Cute. He doesn't hesitate for a second to sink down with him, sitting close enough his knee knocks Peter's a little before he leans into those open arms.]

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

[Technically, they should thank her, but neither are dealing with that now.]
no subject
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.

no subject
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.
no subject
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.]
no subject
I'm his least favorite. He'd be thrilled to see me lose a bet.

no subject
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.
no subject
I think he loves you guys equally. I mean, that's what parents are supposed to do.
no subject

[Ugh. UGH. How did they get to this -
Bets. They gotta throw off this bet.]
Doesn't matter. What matters!
[Does a quick spin with Peter.]
Is this!
no subject
Peter can already tell Leo doesn't really want to talk about the topic. Even if he's curious, he's taking the not very subtle hint.]
Okay, yeah, this is what's important.

I do too.
no subject
Peter isn't completely sure what to say in the moment, just kind of spell bound. He leans in to brush a kiss against Leo's lips. Something gentle.]
no subject
But with the brush, he breathes in for a moment. Then follows after it with another.]
no subject
He really likes Leo. He doesn't want to mess this up.]
Can we stay here- longer? [He doesn't want it to end yet.]

Sit with me- like- if you wanna cuddle I mean-
