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.]
Yeah, I'd really like that. [He wants to kiss Leo again, but is managing to restrain himself.] I think you're cute and funny, and I'd like to kiss you. Again, I mean.
[Peter laughs bashfully at that, the fourteen year old biting his bottom a little shyly now.] I'd like to kiss you- for as long as you'd like to kiss me.
[The two are hopeless.
But, Peter does lean in to press a quick kiss against Leo's lips, eager and happy all rolled up together.]
Yes. [No hesitation. But he's smiling nervously, like he isn't sure he's allowed to be this eager and hopes his brothers don't ever find out how they handled this together.
He laughs a little as Peter leans in, chasing after it with another deciding that one was far too short.]
[It does. It feels great with Peter, as awkward for a first time as this is. And glad it's Peter because he doesn't feel so bad testing new waters here if they happen to mess up somehow.]
I, um. That's. Good. [Laughing a little.] Not used to being speechless.
Yeah, me either. [Peter answers with a soft laugh of his own. He is still more than a little flushed. The fourteen year old just lays his hand lightly against Leo's arm gently.]
Pretty sure, like- we're both the ones who talk a lot. [In costume he absolutely leans into it. As Peter its hit or miss.]

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?

We are.
