~RAPH'S POV~

I paced back and forth in my room. Of all the times I needed Spike!! Come on, Raphael! Y/n is your girlfriend! Just schedule a date with her! I groaned loudly. But what kind of date? There weren't a lot of things we could do seeing as I was a giant mutant turtle! I looked in my mirror and cursed silently. How Y/n wanted to date me I would never know. I mean, I wouldn't want to date me. I shook my head. She deserved this. I wanted to give her something. Just a special night as the two of us. But what could I do? Running out of ideas I pulled out my phone and searched up stay at home date ideas. Some of them wouldn't work and I cringed at the cheesiness of others. I was beginning to give up hurt when an artical caught my attention. That would work! It had to...

I took a deep breath before texting Y/n. 

Raph:
Hey, I'm free tonight, want 2 have a date?

Babe:
Sounds cool. Wat time?

Raph:
8?

Babe:
Perfect! C u then!

Well that was easier than I thought. Now to get ready.

~YOUR POV~

I squealed happily. Raph and I were going on our first date! Hopefully it would be the first of many. I opened my dresser and started rummaging through my clothes. No, nuh-ah, maybe...

"Hey, Casey!" I shouted to my brother.

"What?" Casey called back from downstairs. 

"I'm going on a date with Raph tonight! Help me pick out my outfit!"

"But the hockey match is-"

"Casey!"

"Fine!"

Casey may not seem like the best person to ask for advice for an outfit from but given two choises he could usually help me pick out the right one. Casey opened the door to my room and plopped down on my bed. 

"Okay, N/n, what you got?"

I then held up two outfits for him. "You know Raph best. Which one would he like better?" Casey looked between the first outfit to the second one. "I'd go with the one on the left," he shrugged. I nodded. 

"So, you and Raph, huh? Do I need to give him the twin talk?" Casey half teased. 

I rolled my eyes playfully. The twin talk was basically the same as a protective parent talk to a new boy/girlfriend. Casey and I might argue a lot but we always stood up for each other. "I think everything will be fine, Casey. After all, he is your best friend."

Casey shrugged and walked out of the room. I got changed into my outfit. I then braided my hair and put on some simple makeup. I turned once in the mirror and examined my reflection. Most people thought I didn't care what I looked like but the truth was that I was really self concious. I took a deep breath and straightened my skirt. 

I turned when I heard the firmiliar sharp rapping on my window

I turned when I heard the firmiliar sharp rapping on my window. I quickly went over and opened the window. "Hey, hothead," I teased my favorite turtle. 

Raph chuckled, "Hey, girlie. You ready to go?"

"Go where?" I asked while I climbed out the window. 

"You'll see. But don't worry, it's not far," Raph said walking up the fire escape.

I rolled my eyes playfully at the turtle, "Yeah. Because I live in New York and I hate walking."

"Just shut up and follow me."

"Fine."

Raph lead me to the roof of our apartment building. I gasped lightly when I saw a picnic blanket on the roof with a pizza on it and some (favorite drink). I looked to Raph in shock. The idea that he would do something like this never occured to me. "I-it's cheesy I know. Y-you know what, just forget it. Sorry, I-"

I cut off his rambling by placing a finger on his lips. Raph's green eyes grew and a faint blush penetrated through his green skin. "I like cheesy," I said with a smile. Raph smiled back at me and lead me over to the blanket. The air smelled sweet with the scent of the pepperoni pizza. 

"Mickey made the pizza," Raph explained. "He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but man can he cook."

I laughed and took a bite. "Wow! You were right! He can cook!"

"You can say that again. He once managed to make us a mutation day cake without going to the store."

I raised a skeptical brow, "How did he do that?"

Raph shuddered slightly, "I'd rather not think about that."

I laughed again and took another bite of the delicious pizza. We soon were talking up a storm. I learned a lot about Raph in that time; I learned that he loved animals, that he read modern ninja magazine, and he had always wanted to go see a wrestling match in person. I told him about my teachers at school, my best friend's weird brother (IDK), and even about how my mother left. 

"When Casey and I were eight, our mom left one day. She always wanted to see the world, do something crazy. I guess, she decided that she had had enough of our boring life. So, one morning, we woke up and found a note that said she wasn't coming back," I explained quietly.

Raph frowned at me in sympathy, "I'm so sorry, Y/n. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to have a mom. I mean, Master Splinter has always been great but.." A long sigh escaped Raph. "I don't know, he's always been closest to Leo. They just have this natural bond. I know he loves me. I love him. But... I just wish we were closer."

I nodded in understanding, "I've always felt like that with my dad. He and Casey have always been closer but recently he's been more distant from the both of us." I smiled at Raph warmly, "... But at least I have you." 

~RAPH'S POV~

I smiled back at her. Her hand looked so tiny and delicate. Did I dare hold it? Slowly, I extended my hand to hers and wrapped her fingers around my own. Y/n gave my hand a reassuring squeeze before placing her head on my shoulder. My face automatically felt warm. I did my best to consill my blush. I looked back at her. Her glowing (e/c) eyes were glued to the sky. I followed her mystified gaze to see thousands of stars twinkling in the night sky. We sat in silence for a long time, watching the stars. Our silence was interrupted by Y/n letting out a kitten yawn. I turned to her with a chuckle, "You tired?"

"Mmph," she replied, nuzzling into my neck. I smiled. Gosh, she was gorgeous! I did my best to pick her up without causing her to worry. Her response was to subconciously smile with her eyes still closed. She trusted me. She trusted me this much. I jumped down onto her fire escape and climbed in her window. It was a little tough to balance her in one arm but I managed to pull her bed covers back. I placed her on the bed and pulled her pink covers up to her shoulders. I could tell she was asleep by now. I brushed some of her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead before slipping out of her window. 

Okay, can I just mention that no one has a mom in ninja turtles! Like, what is up with that! April's mom disappeared. The turtles never had a mom. Karai's mom is dead. Casey doesn't have a mom for whatever reason and we don't know about the rest of the characters. Seriously! It's the same thing with Disney princesses!!! There is not one single mom!! Anyways, it's January 1st and it feels like it's seventy degrees outside. Thanks for reading!!!
