Everyone is alseep when we return. I can't seem to get rid of the giddy feeling inside me. My mouth hurts from smiling so much and even though Raph doesn't smile a lot, I can tell he's been fighting one himself.

We leave a trail of tiny puddles behind as we head to our rooms. For a moment we freeze, not knowing what to say to each other.

"So uh..." Raph scratches his neck and his cheeks grow pink.

"Goodnight?" I chuckle nervously and he nods.

"Goodnight," he says slowly and he reaches the doorknob of his door. I begin to walk away and sigh. The atmosphere has suddenly turned awkward but I shouldn't expect much. Raph isn't good at this whole dating thing and I don't want to rush him.

"Leo wait."

I stop and turn to him. He looks down at the ground while playing with his fingers. He seems to be whispering something under his breath and he finally looks up.

"I was wondering if you...you know like..I don't know maybe.."

I walk and stop right in front of him. My presence only seems to make him even more nervous.

"Ya know cause like...I just uh."

"Raph just spit it out," I say with a laugh and hold his hand in mine. His body slouches and he breathes deeply.

"I don't want to sleep alone," he admits quietly.

"Why is that Raph?" I ask gently.

"I keep having this dream repeatedly and its scaring me," he whispers. I trace circular motions on top of his hand. He visibly relaxes and closes his eyes.

"Want to talk about it?" I ask.

He shakes his head. "Not tonight. Do you think...do you think maybe you can sleep here with me?" He asks with a shaky voice.

I take a sharp breath before nodding. "Yes of course Raph," I reply. "I can stay with you for tonight."

He guides me to his room and closes the door behind us. I let go of his hand and pull the covers. We both remove our masks and put them on the counter. I lay down first, at the far end of the bed and Raph lays down next to me.

"You okay?" I ask.

Raph doesn't respond immediately as he snuggles next to me. My heart warms up at the gesture and I wrap my arms around him.

"As long as you're with me, I'm fine," he replies. "Thank you for staying."

"I'll always stay," I whisper and pulls him closer.

"That sounds cheesy," he says and I can sense him grinning.

"Oh shut up. You like it," I remark.

"Yeah I do," he mumbles. "Now shut up and go to sleep you butthead."

"Fine. Goodnight Raph," I laugh.

"Goodnight Leo," he replies.

I've never slept so peacefully before in my life.
