[As the fingertips brush, Leo has to fight off the instinctive full body shiver (but he's not entirely successful).
Oooh this is going to go badly, he's sure. Not that he has any doubt in his game and who he can pull, but it's different when it's someone he wants to be serious with, someone he actually cares about.]
He cannot fuck this up, he cannot fuck up his friendship over this. But if peter didn't want to crowd him, Leo leans in a little more, arm around his shoulders now.]
Okay, so- [Peter's smile brightens further as he describes the fight, sound effects included. He's just happy to talk to Leo, eager to talk to someone about the Coolest Thing Ever.
At this point the two are sitting very close on the twin sized bed, their knees touching.]
[Knees touching, Leo just feeling natural being all up in Peter's space. But he can't help how he leans in closer as Peter talks, not really realizing just how close their faces are getting.
Must be a turtle thing. But god that's a good smile.]
[Peter hasn't completely realized how close they are. He's just starting to go a little pink at the ears. He likes this. How close they are and how pretty Leo's eyes are.
Oh- uh yeah! He punched me. [He vaguely gestures at his black eye a bit carelessly.] It'll heal though.
[He bites his bottom lip a little nervously. A tentative hand settles against Leo's knee.]
Okay be cool. it's fine. They're friends, and Leo is touchy drapey like this with all his brothers, why would Peter be different, except he likes Peter and he realized that reality about ten minutes ago and Leo is dying wishing he could think of anything that isn't watching Peter bite his lip or how warm his hand feels on his own knee.]
Yeah, you uh. You've got the whole. Super healing thing. That's good.
He sees it happening and- yeah. Yeah, okay, don't fuck it up. All he can hear is his own pulse between his ears as he leans in the rest of the way, a quick chaste press of lips, not sure if he's reading this right.]
Yeah, I'm sure. [He says softly back. He shifts his hand so he can hold onto Leo.]
I think, I've liked you for a while. [The realization feels strange to have, but he just... knows now. A feeling settling over him as he just looks at Leo.]
[He squeezes peter's hand still watching his face.]
Then - can I? Um. [Normally he's the smoothest talker, no problem at all. But with Peter like this, he can't do anything about the sudden nervousness.] Kiss you. I mean.
[Peter mumbles an apology in passing, but he's definitely focused on kissing Leo. He draws his fingers along Leo's neck as they test out deepening the kiss. Neither quite know what they are doing.]
[Leo just gives another little laugh into that kiss, shifting so he's more properly facing Peter like this. He cranes his neck meeting that test and squeezes his hand.]
[Peter does figure out to tilt his head more to one side to abate the issue of beak and human nose clashing. He shifts one leg a little aside so the can draw a little bit closer.
He's seen people do this stuff in movies, but actually doing it is new. As the kiss lingers a shivery pleased feeling creeps up his spine.]
[Leo never really cared for the sorts of movies that have romance and big thematic making out in them, opting always for more action, more fighting. But he isn't a total idiot; he can at least sort this out as they go, leaning in when Peter shifts.
When he finally does break away, he's breathing a little hard just from the ...everything, the way his head is swimming right now.]
...Liked you for a while too. Just - kinda recently realized it.
[Peter needs a second to catch his own breath, smiling at Leo.]
Yeah, I just... realized right now. [Peter for his part isn't great at hiding anything. The admittance makes him go a little pink to the tips of his ears.]
[He sees that, sees how it's coloring Peter's entire face and. Look, it's cute. Everything about him is cute, even if Peter's kinda showing he's a scalie right now maybe? Possibly? Eventually Peter's going to remember Leo is a fucking turtle mutant and back out of this.
Until then, he rests his hand to Peter's cheek tentatively. Light enough to brush away easy.]

They'll definitely wanna see.

But now Peter is talking animatedly again, smiling at Leo like he's the most important person in the room.]
no subject
Oh he's done for.
That smile is it, that's the killing blow.
He cannot fuck this up, he cannot fuck up his friendship over this. But if peter didn't want to crowd him, Leo leans in a little more, arm around his shoulders now.]
I wanna hear all of it. Everything.

He hesitates, not quite sure if he's pushing this on Leo or if he's reading this right. The fourteen year old leans in.
This is definitely a kiss he's initiating.]

no subject
He doesn't draw away yet, just looking up at Leo with a gentle hopeful look before kissing him again. An unspoken question hanging between them.
'Is this okay?']
no subject
He isn't sure it's okay - it is for him, there's no question. But Leo knows how he is, he knows what he is, Peter could have so much more than this.]
You sure?

Cool. So. Both on the same page then.

Yeah, I- guess we are?
Like, [He pauses, starting to go a bit more red.] Dating?
no subject
[He doesn't sound super sure, watching Peter's face before making a decision. Nods.]
We are.
If you want.
