#4 of On the Cusp

The one where Casey and Raph tell the rest of the turtles about some stuff that happened. People are honest. Things get spicy. Change is a comin'!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heyyyyyyyyy. Writing is a cruel mistress to me most of the time. I need to feel like I'm in the right headspace in order to do anything. And those headspaces have been few and far between lately. But, I feel like this chapter is a turning point and maybe, just maybe, I'll have the drive I need to actually finish this thing. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, please: COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BECAUSE I CRAVE VALIDATION! But seriously, let me know! I always love talking to people on here and I want more friends!

Enjoy!


Something was different now.

As Casey and Raph made their way through the maze of tunnels leading back to the lair, something felt... well, just different.

He couldn't tell if maybe it was the fact that he and Raph had just kissed for the first time--or that they'd essentially come out to one another right before. Or maybe it was the fact that they'd been holding hands pretty much since they left the rooftop. Or that they'd both been blushing profusely as they kept close to one another, Casey's cheeks a light, bright red and Raph a dark green.

Yeah. This is way more... intense than anything I ever felt with April.

Casey grinned stupidly ahead at Raph's bulky shell as they walked the last few feet to the back entrance and the wall whirred as the secret door opened for them.

"Tch. Of course, Donnie opens it up for you immediately."

Raph glanced back at him quizzically, "Whaddya mean? Donnie gave us all a button on our T-phones to open it."

He held up the phone to Casey, his thumb pressing a big animated lock icon. "I think Don just likes to play with ya is all."

He ground his teeth as Raph shook his head, chuckling softly. Words would have to be said to Donnie about this. But... later. Right now, Casey had to deal with whatever was going to happen next to their little group. Would there be any fallout from him and Raph being together? He'd assured Casey there wouldn't be but this wasn't just something all of them could ignore. This was serious, at least it felt that way to him.

Just before he stepped through the opening in the wall, Raph stopped and looked back at Casey. He tilted his head a bit while he thought and then he spoke softly.

"So, like I said, I think they'll be cool. Might be a bit of a scare to them at first 'cause like..."

He scratched his plastron nervously as he shifted on his feet, "I mean, we don't talk about this kinda stuff with anyone 'cept Splinter. S'new for anyone human to know about it let alone, uh, for a human to be into one of us."

He smiled sheepishly and then took Casey's hand in his again.

"I gotta find the right moment to do it."

Casey nodded and gave Raph a reassuring smile as he squeezed his hand.

"Sure, man. I'll just follow your lead. But wait, you said you talk to Splinter about, uh... this stuff?"

Raph sighed and shrugged, "I mean, we--look, dude, it's complicated. I'll let you in on everything later. Let's just get through dinner, ok?"

He squeezed Casey's hand one more time then let go, bending down slightly to fit his bulky body through the narrow passage leading into the lair.

The two of them headed towards the kitchen as soon as they made sure the door had closed behind them securely. Casey could hear muffled music echoing around the curved concrete walls of the turtles' lair as he and Raph finally emerged from the back entrance.

Mikey was in full chef mode as he flitted around the spacious kitchen, mixing and sifting as he bobbed his head along to the beat of the smooth, slightly jazzy electronic music he had playing from his Bluetooth speaker Donnie had made him. The taller, nerdy turtle was next to him, slightly further down the counter as he spun a salad mixer and then mashed the potatoes his brother had peeled and boiled.

Leo wasn't anywhere to be seen as the two of them walked across the living room area. Raph stopped right beside the old kitchen table, tapping his foot nervously until Casey stepped up beside him and touched his arm gently. He looked up at the big turtle and gave him a reassuring smile as he pulled a chair back and sat down.

"Yo! Mikey, what's on the menu for tonight?" he asked loudly over the music. Mikey turned, spinning a wooden spoon between his fingers in one hand and holding a steaming pot in the other.

"Oh hey, bros! I'm glad you could make it! Was worried you were gonna miss out on yet another Mikey masterpiece: Swedish Meatballs! Just like the ones from IKEA. Only mine are better because I make them with love. IKEA only makes theirs with the Swedish version of love, which is really difficult to assemble and breaks at the slightest touch."

"Mikey, you've never even been to an IKEA." Donnie said tiredly, glancing over at his little brother.

"Pft! Like I need to have been," he replied in an overly exasperated tone. "As if you've ever been to CES, dude. But I'm sure you can make way better tech than any of those nerds who actually go out there can."

"I..." Donnie looked like he had an answer primed but was taken aback by the compliment. He laughed slightly and smiled over at his brother, "Thanks, Mike."

The younger turtle winked at him as he continued to stir the pot on the burner. Glancing over at Raph and Casey, he continued.

"But anyway, what were you two up to? Seein' the sights? Kickin' ass? Takin' names?"

Casey looked up at Raph. The turtle had both hands gripping the back of his chair as he shook his head stiffly.

"Nah. Jus' uh... did a short recon run around the eastern perimeter. Nuthin' too crazy 'cause Casey's still healin' up and all."

He paused and then looked around.

"Where's Leo?"

Donnie brought over the salad bowl and placed it on the table, "He's with Splinter. He told Leo that he wanted to meditate for longer than normal and needed help preparing the room. Our fearless leader should be out in a minute or two."

Raph nodded and then pulled his large chair out and lowered himself into it. Casey tried to act normal but seeing Raph so nervous was making _him_nervous. He guessed that even though Raph knew his brothers well, he couldn't always anticipate what their reactions would be, especially with something so intimate. He'd seemed so sure of himself on the roof, but now... he seemed like a teenager again, worried about what his family would think once they knew.

As casually as he could, Casey slid his hand over Raph's knee and rubbed it, trying his best to ease the tension the turtle was clearly feeling. He felt Raph tense up more at the touch but then quickly ease off. The turtle sighed deeply and reached out to grab the cup of water that had been set out for him, gulping down half of it before placing it back on the table.

This was new for them. Touching. Well, it was for Casey at least. He'd always known the brothers to be rather affectionate, giving high fives, shoulder rubs, hugs, and roughhousing constantly. But for him with Raph?

Theirs had been more of a broship than anything else. They were as close as best friends could be, but now there was the potential for more. He knew what he wanted, and clearly, Raph wanted it too. But even so, the ease with which Casey found himself willing to touch Raph, to feel the turtle's scaly skin against his, was incredible to him. First to kiss his best friend and now to know that he was able to touch him when he wanted to? It sent a thrill down Casey's spine.

Raph looked at him and gave a wary smile. And then suddenly, he stiffened at the sound of Splinter's tatami door sliding open. Casey looked past Raph's shell and saw Leo sliding the thin paper door back into place before he turned and started to walk towards them from across the room.

Mikey turned halfway and lifted the pot he'd been working on and waved his fingers, "Yo, Leo! Just in time. All done and we're ready to chow down."

"Hell yeah," Donnie said as he glanced across the table as he sat in his seat, placing a small jug of gravy to his left and then a separate pot of broccoli to his right.

The taller turtle paused suddenly and cocked his head as he stared at Casey and then Raph for a moment. He looked between the two of them but then seemed to shrug off whatever he'd been thinking as Leo approached.

"Perfect. Thanks, Mikey." Leo sat at the head of the table as Mikey brought over the steaming pot of meatballs, the strong smells of garlic and parsley and onions quickly filling the air.

"Fuck me, dude. This looks amazing!" Casey said as Leo grabbed the ladle and plated up several of the steaming meatballs for himself.

Mikey beamed at him, "Thanks, bro! It's one of Raph's favorites dishes, so I had to find a recipe for it that worked just right. He's got a very sensitive palette, you know."

Raph glared across the table at him as he giggled.

"Always makin' jokes at the fuckin' dinner table, dude."

"Well, what's dinner without a little laughter anyway!" Mikey said with another giggle as he took the ladle from Leo and plated up some for himself.

Donnie had taken some of the mashed potatoes and passed them to Casey, who took some and held out the bowl for Raph. But the big turtle seemed distant again, clearly lost in thought as he stared down at his empty plate.

"Uh... dude. Here."

Raph jerked slightly before he grabbed the bowl from Casey and ladled a massive pile of the fluffy white mixture onto his plate before quickly sliding it over to Leo.

With unusual gusto, he rapidly thrust several big forkfuls into his mouth, his brothers and Casey staring openly as he chewed for several seconds and then, finally, swallowed in one big gulp.

Raph licked the corner of his mouth and cleared his throat as he pounded his chest with a fist. Leaning back slightly, he glanced across the table and nodded.

"... S'real good, Mikey."

"... Thanks, Raph." Mikey said hesitantly, clearly wondering what was going on with his brother but not willing to pry. Luckily, a song from his speaker kicked on and filled the dead air as things relaxed.

Casey and Raph ate in silence as Leo and Mikey and Donnie eased in and out of conversation with each other. Mikey had made some headway on learning more about circuitry by fixing up his old PS3. Leo had found several books dedicated to ancient Japanese etiquette among the samurai caste. Donnie, as always, had been working on various projects in his lab; some new sort of security equipment for the lair, a more efficient water heater for them to use, a new experiment with--

"And... Casey, I guess we can talk about this now if you want."

Casey looked up from his plate at Donnie who was staring back at him expectantly.

"Huh? Sorry. Wasn't all there just now."

"The experiment, dude. The..." He nodded pointedly, "You know. The big one. The one we talked about a few weeks ago."

The atmosphere in the room had shifted. Mikey's music speaker played an oddly cheerful song despite the sudden tense shift in conversation. Casey looked over at Don for a moment before he nodded, taking his napkin and wiping his mouth as he paused to mentally catch up.

Donnie had gone over the basics of what he'd proposed to Casey already and so far, there hadn't been much in the way of concrete decisions from the rest of the brothers.

"Mm. Yeah, I mean, I'm still game if that's what you're askin'."

"Well, I'm glad you're ready and able, Casey. But we need to all talk this through first. It's not something to be decided lightly."

The experiment had been in the back of Casey's mind since Donnie had first brought it up. Along with healing his ribs, the idea of purposely exposing himself to mutagenic ooze wasn't super appealing to him. But something in his head still seemed to make sense out of that hesitation, the same part of him that craved the adventure and risk of something so important and so dangerous. He knew that going for it was the right decision even if it was a wildly treacherous one.

Donnie sighed and shook his head, "I'm still not certain though, that's the problem. I've done just about everything I can think of short of breaking into a lab with way more powerful equipment than I have here. And even if I somehow managed that, there's no way I can be 100% sure it'll work the first time around. This is why scientists test so much. Sometimes it just comes down to iteration after iteration until it works."

Leo cut in, "Hold on. From what you told me Donnie, this isn't some run-of-the-mill, just-for-fun experiment. This would expose you to pure, unaltered mutagen, Casey. You've seen firsthand what that stuff does to humans. I don't feel right about letting that happen to you on our watch."

Casey bit the inside of his lip as he considered it. He'd run dozens of experiments with Donnie over the years but none that had ramifications this wide or this potentially long-lasting.

Yes, they still had a small amount of retro-mutagen that Donnie hadn't been able to successfully synthesize. If the experiment went wrong--if he was mutated and they used the retro-mutagen to bring him back to his human form--then that was it for the time being. There was no other way of bringing anyone else back else from the effects of the ooze until they found more.

Casey turned to Leo and spoke.

"I... Leo, I definitely get where you're comin' from. S'not like I'm choosing to do this lightly. I just..." He leaned forward, glancing over at Raph and then looking around the table.

"This is bigger than me. If I do this and Donnie's able to make something that can actually protect humans against the biggest threat the Kraang have had over us since we first fought them, then, I mean, how can I say no?"

He leaned back in his chair and shook his head as he looked around the table, "Nah, I'm doin' it. Donnie, just give the word and I'll be ready."

The silence was deafening. Leo wouldn't argue against him, not when the potential benefit of helping to protect millions of people was what Casey was arguing for. Mikey knew it wasn't his place to try and dissuade Casey or Donnie, but he looked hopefully across the table at them both. Raph had put his fork down on the plate and was staring at Casey, his expression hard and inscrutable.

"I need a few hours to get everything set. Double-check some things. But if you're really set on doing this, then so am I. We can start tomorrow afternoon." Donnie said, his voice so much like a doctor's--calm, cool, confident.

Casey took solace in the fact that the lean turtle next to him was a literal genius and would do everything his considerable mind could think of to keep him safe.

"Alright then," Casey said as he looked around the table.

"I guess that's that then. I uh..." He glanced at Raph who seemed to understand what would happen next and gave a slight nod, "I've actually got somethin' to tell you all. And I'm... pretty sure you might already know but I gotta do this anyway. And I get that this is a horrible way of transitioning to this but I, like, don't... know a better time than now to do it. So, yeah. Uh."

He cleared his throat and straightened up slightly in his seat.

"I'm gay."

He looked at each of them--Leo arched his brow but had a growing smile on his slight beak. Donnie nodded knowingly at him with his eyes shining brightly. Raph seemed to ease up and gave a small smile, and Mikey's wide grin was a welcome sight.

"Dude! First, like, congrats!" The youngest turtle's voice cut through the tension like butter and Casey instantly felt relief wash over him as he continued.

"I mean we all, uh, kinda did get a feeling after April left that something was up. But also, we've all got pretty good noses too." He giggled a bit and leaned back in his seat, balancing his immense weight on the rickety wooden chair, "Plus like... we're mutant ninja turtles, dude. Doesn't get much weirder than that. So you like dick! That's nothing new in Manhattan!"

Casey chuckled and rubbed the back of his head as he nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I uh... I guess you're right, Mikey. But I just... I mean, I've wanted to tell you guys for a while now. Haven't really told anyone else, other than April when we broke things off. Figured I'd be honest because, y'know," he winced and shrugged as he finished, "... you're my friends and shit."

Leo beamed at him, "Casey, you're our brother. We've always got your back."

"Ditto to what Leo said, dude. You're one of us. Nothing's going to change that." Donnie grinned over at him.

Casey blew out a pent-up breath and smiled back at all of them.

"Thanks, guys. Really. Means... means a lot to me to hear that."

Raph cleared his throat and spoke up, "An' uh... I... got somethin' else to say too."

The four of them stared at Raph as he leaned forward, putting the weight of his upper body on the table. He glanced over at Casey for a moment.

"Case' and I kinda... have a thing. For each other."

Leo's eyes went wide and Mikey's mouth dropped open.

"I _knew_I smelled something weird!" Donnie said as he snapped his fingers and shook his head at the two of them. "Soon as you both walked in."

He was smirking at them but to Casey, it didn't seem malicious or angry. It was more just... that Donnie had once again been the most attentive and smartest person in the room. Mikey on the other hand seemed to be stuck in some form of shock as he teetered on his chair, accidentally perfectly balanced on its back two legs as he gaped at them.

"Dudes. This is literally blowing my mind. It's like, too many revelations for one dinner!" Mikey's eyes were wide with excitement and he leaned back too far in his chair, the wood splintering under him and taking him down with it. Luckily his training kicked in and he simply rolled back off his shell and onto his feet, his arms wide as he looked at them both.

"Like, dudes! Holy shit, Raph! I knew you were into him but like, wow. This is some juicy, juicy news to drop before dessert!" He laughed wildly to himself as he rubbed his hands together.

"Does he know?"

Leo's voice was quiet but had an edge to it. Mikey instantly stopped laughing and all eyes suddenly went to their leader. He looked like some sort of shadow had been cast over him, and an uneasiness settled in the room.

Casey felt his stomach drop.

"Yeah."

Raph's voice matched Leo's. The two oldest turtles looked at one another and it was Leo, for once, who seemed wary and guarded. The normally steadfast and confident turtle seemed anything but right now.

"I told him. He knows."

Casey felt the gaze of the room shift onto him. Slowly, he slid his hand over Raph's which was bunched up into a taut fist laying on the surface of the table. None of the turtles spoke. They all seemed frozen in place at the implication that their biggest secret was known to someone outside themselves.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke softly and carefully.

"I would've preferred you talk to me about this first, Raphael." Leo's voice was pointed and direct. He stared at Raph with an unwavering gaze as he continued.

"This isn't something I was prepared to discuss with Casey, let alone deal with the fallout of your actions. I do not... I...."

Leo's eyes flicked to Casey and he seemed to shudder slightly, curling his fingers into a fist before taking several deep breaths through his mouth.

"Leo..." Raph said as he reached out and placed his hand on Leo's fist. His brother shuddered again and he dropped his gaze, staring at the table as he spoke softly.

"You know how fragile this is, Raph. How... how much it took for us to realize what we could share. What our family meant. What it can be. To jeopardize that is...."

His voice faltered and Raph rubbed his finger over the back of his wrist, not sure what to say. The big turtle looked at Casey and then back at Leo.

"I know it's a lot to take in, Leo. And I know that it's scary as shit. But Casey is one of us. He's our brother."

Raph looked at Casey and squeezed his hand in his, continuing, "If anyone was gonna be cool with knowing the truth, it was him."

Casey cleared his throat and leaned forward to see past Raph's frame.

"Leo, Raph's right. You guys are my family." Casey gazed into the faces of his brothers.

Leo, tilted his head up slightly, looking at Casey with wary eyes. He could swear that they were glistening slightly but maybe it was just the light. Could Leo even cry?

"I'm... I'm not the kinda human who turns tail and runs at the notion of something different. You guys have each other, which is more than most people can say. And I have you all. Like you said, I've got your backs. No matter what."

He gestured around the table and shook his head with a shrug as he continued, unsure of how he would say what he felt, but hoping for the best.

"The fact that you guys, uh, are like... together? I mean it's a little strange to say out loud, especially havin' saved the world a few times with you. But it actually kinda makes sense in a weird way. Not sure what that means for me in all this but... I'm cool with it. I mean, I already know I'm attracted to giant turtles. What's a little brotherly love added on top?"

Leo's eyes were wider than Casey had ever seen them before. He guessed the oldest turtle definitely hadn't been prepared for this many bombshells to be dropped in one conversation. For once, Mikey seemed to be out of things to say and even Donnie seemed to have lost his train of thought.

Raph grinned suddenly and shook his head, "S'it really hard to believe that the human who almost immediately accepted the fact that there we're four giant, mutant turtles living underground bein' trained as ninjas by a giant rat doesn't mind that I like sucking your dick, Leo?"

Raph was leering at his brother now, gleefully enjoying the fact that he'd managed to surprise their leader so effectively. Casey blushed at the sudden shift back to reality that Raph's words brought with them, but somehow he felt emboldened by his best friend's tone.

Leo's stupor didn't last long though and the oldest brother snapped out of it after a few seconds, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked between Casey and Raph.

"I... Casey, I apologize. I just didn't think... I didn't know that you would be so..." He cleared his throat as he searched for the right word.

"Accepting."

Casey nodded, "Yeah I mean, it's not somethin' that you see every day, but like Raph said, neither are you guys. And I... I love you guys. All of you. Not to get all sappy and shit."

"Holy. Shit." Mikey seemed to have slowly realized something as he stepped up to the table. "Does this mean we can make out on missions now?!"

Raph gave a hearty chuckle, "Mikey, you do that anyway."

"Nu-uh!" He shook his head vigorously, "Not when Casey's around!"

"Well, it's up to Splinter Jr. over here but, eh, what's a quick grope and a kiss gonna hurt anyone?"

Mikey nodded in agreement, "I literally can't even wait to go topside now, dudes. It's like a whole new world has just opened up to me."

Donnie piped in, "Uh, I just wanna say that I'm sorry in advance for Mikey's newfound overly romantic and sexual tendencies around you, Casey. It's sort of his M.O. when you're not within earshot."

Casey frowned.

"Wait so... have I been getting in your, uh, way?"

Raph threw a bulging arm around his shoulders, "Nah, Case'. We've been gettin' along just fine even with you living here. Believe me. Leo wouldn't have it any other way."

"Okay! I don't think Casey wants to hear about that, Raph." Leo spoke up hurriedly, standing up suddenly as he laughed nervously.

Mikey went back to giggling again as Donnie rolled his eyes.

"Leo, don't be such a prude. That's not like you at all. Casey's an adult and I think we can have adult conversations when he's around. Among having other things too."

The sexual undertones of the entire conversation had been supercharged in just a few short moments, and to Casey, he was seeing a whole other side of the brothers that he'd always assumed he'd never understand. But now? There was so much to catch up on.

Mikey looked slyly over towards Leo and cocked his head at him.

"Splinter Jr. over here won't say it but when he cuts loose? Whooo, that's a sight to behold, my dude. And to experience."

He reached across the table and curled his hand into a fist as Donnie giggled and bumped it with his own. Leo's blush deepened to an incredibly dark shade of green on his cheeks and Raph grunted as he rolled his eyes.

"Can you two keep it in your pants for like ten minutes? Let's at least finish dinner 'for we blow Casey's lil' brain."

"Hey! It's not that little, Raph." Casey complained as he punched Raph in the arm.

"That's what she said!" Mikey and Donnie giggled at their simultaneous joke and high-fived each other.

Leo, to his credit, had simply grabbed his fork and started to diligently clear his plate. Though even with his head down, Casey could see the telltale signs of embarrassment coursing through the bulky turtle at the end of the table. He'd rarely, if ever, seen Leo like this and he almost relished the fact that he now knew one of the few things that made the turtle uncomfortable.

"Hey, I don't mind talking dirty, but I think Raph's right. Let's... give Leo a break and just finish dinner." Casey said as he glanced over at Leo who looked up and him momentarily and nodded a grateful thanks to him.

Mikey sat back down in his chair and grumbled, "Man, you guys are no fun. Casey says he likes dudes now, we get to let him in on the family secret, and all you wanna do is eat dinner. L-A-M-E. Lame!"

The youngest turtle grabbed his fork as he glanced across the table at Raph and Casey, then Donnie and Leo before he let out an exasperated sigh. His fork moved his meatballs around his plate but his mind was clearly still fixated on... possibilities.

"Mikey."

He looked up and turned to Leo who was staring at him now.

"Stop playing with your balls. Just put them in your mouth and swallow."

Leo's face was as serious as it had ever looked and Mikey's eyes widened as everyone stared towards the head of the table.

And then Leo's face broke into a grin and he shook his head at his youngest brother who began howling with laughter. The rest of them broke out into easy smiles and the tension that had seemed to have built up around them dissipated like it had never even been there.

Casey chuckled and glanced at Raph as they both dug into their meal. The big turtle finally seemed at ease now, and judging from the reactions of the rest of the table, the feeling was mutual. He wasn't sure how exactly it was going to work with all of them, but he was glad that he'd been honest and open with all of them, and that they had done the same with him.

Donnie's experiment lingered in the back of his mind, though. Tomorrow would hopefully be a red-letter day for them all. Playing with mutagen was a dangerous game, but the potential gains far outweighed the dangers. Still though, a slight ache in his stomach made itself known as he let the conversation around him fill the background of his mind.

He was nervous. He didn't get nervous. But something about everything Donnie had mentioned was starting to get to him.

With a deep breath, he shook his head.

No. This needs to happen. And I'm gonna do it.

He glanced around the table at the turtles, each one laughing or happily stuffing their faces. For now, he simply wanted to enjoy their company and the fact that, for the first time, he had his family around him.

The rest of the night had passed peacefully.

After they'd cleaned up, Casey and Raph had gone to their room to work out. Raph had to carefully spot Casey on many of his routines because of his still-healing ribs, but both of them had been pleasantly surprised at the ease with which Casey was able to jump back into his old habits.

After they'd each showered and dried off, they spent the rest of the night playing video games with Mikey and Donnie, and even Leo for a bit. But before long, each of them had drifted off to their rooms leaving Casey and Raph once again together on the couch.

The two of them were watching some sort of old movie. 80s. Actiony. But really poorly done, except for the stunts. Neither of them was really paying attention though as they'd both still been fixated on everything that had happened that day.

It was Casey who made the first move, shifting his body towards Raph's on the couch and causing the big turtle to turn towards him, arching an eyebrow. Casey tried to look innocent enough but he couldn't help but smile stupidly as he moved over completely and slid next to his best friend.

Raph rumbled deep in his chest as he felt the weight of Casey's body dip the cushion he was on even more than it already was. He slowly slid an arm around the smaller human and pulled him close.

Casey let out a pent-up breath as he felt Raph's arm make its way around his upper body. He tilted his head and rested it against his best friend's plastron, focusing on breathing in and out as evenly as possible despite his now racing heart.

This is what boyfriends do right?

"Hope this isn't too weird, dude. I uh... kinda can't keep myself away from you now that we, y'know, kissed and shit." Casey said with a chuckle as he nestled into Raph's warmth, feeling his body flex with each massive breath.

"S'not weird. Just... new. I've been wanting this for a while now, man."

Casey nodded and couldn't help the goofy smile that spread across his face at the admission.

Raph cleared his throat as he ran the back of his thick fingers up and down Casey's arm, twisting his hand while he traced his nails over the hairs that ran along the slightly tanned skin.

"So. I'd say that went pretty well, huh?"

Casey nodded, "Yeah. Way... better than I expected. Did uh... did Leo say anything to you? After? I saw you two go into his room for a bit."

Raph was silent for a moment. Casey shifted his head and looked up at him.

"He was concerned that me 'n you being together would alter the... dynamic we have. That it'd make things uneven. 'Possibly unfair' he said. An' I get that. I'd be worried too if I was him. But I know it won't. And I think deep down, he knows it too. He's just gotta say shit like that as our leader. Makin' sure his clan is in order when he knows things are gonna change."

Casey nodded, bringing his hand up to trace his fingers along the divots in Raph's plastron, marks from recent fights and chips from old battles.

"And uh... what kinda dynamic do you have?" Casey asked, running his fingernail back and forth along a particularly deep ridge. "What am I walking into exactly? Can't say I'm not curious about everything."

Raph snorted and nodded, "Yeah, I don't blame you. But just a forewarnin', it's a lot to understand. And some of it is more... instinctual than human relationships."

"I definitely would've assumed that," Casey said with a chuckle as he looked up at Raph, turning his body more towards the turtle. "But I'm ready. I wanna know."

"Alright." Raph sighed and shifted slightly on the cushion.

"It kinda started when we were younger. Like, early-teens. Splinter gave us all the talk about puberty and shit, but he let us know upfront that we were different than what he'd known. We were all gonna react differently than humans would. I remember Donnie bein' super into the mystery of tryin' to understand how our bodies worked and what advantages and disadvantages we'd have compared to humans. Like I said, it was... different."

He sighed and continued, "We weren't always this big. We actually started out pretty small. But Donnie figured out that the mutagen would enhance any kinda growth we'd experience during puberty. Which is how we all went from bein' like two feet tall to nearly seven now."

Casey laughed, "That's one hell of a growth spurt."

"Man, you got no idea. All of our bodies were constantly growing. No shit, Donnie grew two inches in one night. One night! And it was like that for a while. We just got bigger and bigger for years. An' I think it was around 16 or 17 that we all really started feeling... different. Me especially."

Raph let out a big blast of air as he continued to stroke Casey's arm up and down. He bit his bottom lip for a moment and then shook his head.

"You gotta realize... we were so isolated down here. The only four of our entire species. Cooped up in the old lair with Splinter teaching us new fighting techniques every day, and only basic cable to keep us entertained at night. There wasn't a ton to do, so that left us time to... explore. Ourselves. And each other."

Casey felt Raph's fingers stop rubbing his arm and he looked at Raph until finally, he was ready to continue.

"Leo 'n me... we got into fights a lot. Like, a lot, a lot. Y'know I got a temper now, but it was way worse back then. Every little thing set me off, and Leo, he just--"

Raph shook his head, "He just knew how to push my buttons so well. An' one day, we were all training in the dojo with Splinter. I can't remember exactly what set me off, but I just... fucking lost it. Something cracked and I couldn't focus. Felt like all this stress had built up inside my head and all over my body, and it finally decided that it all needed to be released somehow. And I walked out. I... I knew that if I was gonna lose it, I was gonna hurt somebody. So I walked out of the dojo, into the tunnels, and just walked. Felt like I was bubbling over but I couldn't figure out how to calm down."

The big turtle shivered a little and Casey sat up straighter, pulling his arm around Raph's and looking right at him, waiting patiently.

"I dunno how long I was out there. Didn't even know where I was anymore, I wasn't even payin' attention where I was walkin'. But Leo must've been followin' me because I turned around and there he was. Mister fuckin' perfect come to get his lost brother back home. I wanted to punch him in his face, but I just... I couldn't do anything, Case'. It was like I was frozen but I wasn't scared. I just didn't know how to move forward."

Raph looked over at Casey as he continued, "But Leo was Leo and he... he walked up to me and just hugged me. Really hard, like he meant it. An' I just broke down right there in his arms. I didn't know what was happening or why I was cryin' but the longer he held me, the better I felt. An' then I... I kissed him."

Casey's eyes widened, "Whoa, so you... made the first move?"

Raph shrugged, "I wouldn't say it that way. It was more natural than what most humans experience. It was just the right thing to do in the moment, I guess. But yeah, I kissed him. And he... didn't stop me. We kissed for a while down there."

He cocked an eyebrow at Casey before saying, "Yeah, yeah. I know. Real fuckin' romantic. First kiss I ever have an' it's in a goddamn sewer tunnel with my fuckin' brother no less."

"I didn't say anything!" Casey said with a grin, holding up his hands in mock defense as Raph kept going.

"Mmhmm, well, yeah. We kissed and... it was fuckin' great, man. Kissin' him was like my version of hitting a punching bag. All that stress and anger and emotion I'd been buildin' up since I was 13 finally had somewhere to go. And he liked it too! He was into it. I never even considered the fact that he might not go along with it but... well, Donnie always quotes Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park. 'Nature uh... finds a way.' But yeah, we just sorta went from there to, uh, talkin' to Mikey an' Donnie about it. Leo's big on making sure things are equal with the four of us. So there wasn't any hesitation with him. He was all in from the start, so long as we all knew."

"So, you all just started... what, fucking?" Casey asked with a grin.

"No, you idiot!" Raph rolled his eyes and shoved the human slightly, "We just... we started experimenting, is all. I told Donnie how I'd been feeling and how bein' with Leo made me feel, and he sorta suggested we all try it. That maybe if I'd been feeling pent up, then the rest of us all probably had similar issues as well. So we slowly just sorta decided to sleep together. Like, actually sleep, not fuck, you asshole."

He glared over at Casey for a moment in mock anger and shook his head with a smile, "We'd usually be cautious about it because none of us wanted to let Splinter know. He never actually asked about me leavin' in the first place. I think Leo took care of that for me. But from then on, we'd usually sleep in one space together a few nights a week. Just that... closeness. It helped all of us. And then yeah, we all took things further and further every few weeks from there. I mean, we all wanted to. Jus' took a while for us to realize it."

Casey spoke up, "Aww, no juicy details? Mikey was so eager to share over dinner!"

Raph rolled his eyes, "Yeah, Mikey's got a thing for bringing up sensitive topics when he knows he shouldn't. Dude's got a thing for being caught out in the open too."

"Wait, really?" Casey looked shocked at Raph's admission.

"Heh. Big time. Splinter's probably gotten more than his fair share of memories from walking in on Mikey going at it with all of us one time or another."

Casey held up his hands, "Whoa whoa whoa. Wait. You mentioned Splinter knew before but... he's seen you guys fucking?!"

Raph looked at him like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "Dude. We live down here all day, every day. Limited space means limited options. This couch has taken way more of a beating than you realize."

He smirked at Casey's shocked face, "S'not like Splinter sits down and watches us. But we think he's learned to accept the fact that his sons are better with each other than keeping things bottled up. He normally doesn't complain unless we're out here during one of his shows, then he'll kick us out. Heh. Ain't like we have to worry about company comin' over."

He kept going as he rubbed Casey's shoulder, "Eventually, we all talked with Splinter about it. Maybe six months after we started having sex. And I mean, there's no fuckin' way he didn't already know. Like, we can smell each other all over ourselves after sex, s'no way Splinter couldn't smell it too. But we came clean and he was... fine with it. He gave us a lot of advice about relationships but admitted he wasn't in any position to judge. But he said he knew we loved each other and that he loved us and wanted his clan to be strong. This was the best way to make that happen."

Shaking his head, Casey whistled low as he considered it all, "Man, that's... different from my parents. From most people's parents, I'd say. No offense."

"Yeah well, most people don't have to deal with the fact that there aren't any other people like them in the entire world," Raph said matter-of-factly. "I've got Leo, Mikey, Donnie, and now... you. So my world's opened up quite a bit, I'd say."

Casey smiled at his best friend and leaned towards him suddenly, capturing the turtle's bigger mouth with his and wrapping his arms around his thick neck. They kissed softly for a few moments before Raph pulled away slightly and looked into Casey's soft brown eyes.

"Mmm. Certainly ain't gonna complain about doing that whenever I want to."

With a grin, Casey turned his body and quickly straddled Raph's lower half, pinning the turtle's thighs between his own and leaning his torso into the turtle's hard plastron plates.

"And I won't complain about doing this whenever I want to." Casey replied, and then added, "Though like I said, what's... the situation? Who's toes am I stepping on by doing this with you?"

Raph chuckled lightly, "The guys have known I've had a thing for you for a few years now, Case'. S'not like it's a groundbreaking reveal. Donnie thought he had a thing for April when we first met but... clearly, that didn't work out. But nah, you're not steppin' on any toes. Just know that I can't--I mean look, they're my brothers, Casey. I love 'em so much and I can't just leave that. But I'm hopin' I can sorta... welcome you into the family if that makes sense? I know humans got weird-ass customs and stupid rules but--"

"No, no. I... I get it, Raph. Really." Casey said earnestly, leaning close to the turtle and nuzzling his beak slightly with his nose, "Look, I knew that this wasn't ever gonna be normal. And if being with you means having your brothers along for the ride then... yeah. I'm game."

Raph stared at him for a while, his golden irises flickering in the dim light from the TV, but aflame with emotion. And then he wrapped his arms around Casey and slowly met his lips again as he shifted his weight around and pulled the human with him. With a bit more shifting, Raph was suddenly laying across the entire couch, shell down with Casey laying on top of him as they continued to kiss each other.

Casey felt every twitch of Raph's lips against his and couldn't help but swipe his tongue across his best friend's--no, his boyfriend's--green lips, meeting the thicker, longer, more powerful tongue behind them as they deepened this kiss. Both of them were hungry for this, needed this so badly and they moaned into each other as they continued.

Slowly, Casey took the initiative and kissed eagerly into the crook of Raph's neck, drawing a gasp from the turtle as he flicked his tongue over the scaly skin. The texture was different than a human's, that much was apparent, but he loved the feel and taste--almost a salty-sweet mixture that seemed to tingle his tongue.

Continuing down, he kissed and nipped at Raph's shoulder and upper chest, placing his lips at the region between his skin and the hard surface of the turtle's upper plastron.

"Mm... does it feel good when your plates are touched? Or is it numb?" Casey asked between kisses. He ran his hands up and down the plates, letting his nails scratch against the hard surface slightly.

Raph shrugged, "Feels good when you do it, babe."

Casey stopped and looked up at him.

"Really? Babe?"

"What? I thought it was cute."

"Hmm. Keep sayin' it and maybe I'll come around."

Casey moved his hands to Raph's sides and met more scaly skin as he rubbed and kissed his way further down his boyfriend's torso, ending up dangerously close to the waistband of the overly large pants the turtle wore. Raph moaned and opened his eyes slightly, looking at Casey staring back at him from just above his waist.

"You uh... ever done this before?" Raph asked curiously.

"Nope. But April was a big fan of giving me BJs, and I've seen enough porn to get the concept."

"Sure but... I'm guessin' you've never seen any of us naked before. So you might need to prepare yourself for it."

Casey arched an eyebrow, "What, you guys got like ten dicks or somethin'?"

"Not exactly. Mutation hit us all a bit differently with that. Leo an' me are basically human-ish, just, er, well big. Way bigger. Mike and Donnie are both more turtley. But you can deal with the details later. For now..."

He reached down and undid the crossing of belts that he used to keep his pants on, letting the leather unlatch before pulling both of them from around his waist and dropping them to the floor.

"How 'bout you keep doin' what you were doin'? I'm sure you'll figure it out."

Raph's voice had a sultry edge to it that sent a thrill right between Casey's legs.

I'm really doing this. With Raph. My giant turtle boyfriend. Fuck, that's so hot.

Slowly, Casey pulled the edge of the waistband downward, his eyes eagerly watching as more and more of Raph was revealed to him. The hard plastron gave way to a slightly lighter shade of scales and skin, causing Raph to moan low in his throat. Casey stopped and just looked, running a hand down the turtle's crotch and feeling an absolute behemoth of a cock under the fabric. He giggled as Raph gasped and bucked slightly upward, moving Casey along with him.

"Fuck, Case'. I'm... I'm fuckin' sensitive and really, really fuckin' hard right now. Don't play around too much or I might lose control before I want to."

Casey was still shocked at the sheer length of Raph's pole as he ran down his left pant leg. He'd always been curious as to what the turtles were packing and now, getting to see first hand, he was eager to know. Ever so slowly, he pulled Raph's pants down more and more, exposing the rest of his crotch until, finally, the turtle's dick sprang free from its confines.

It was huge. Utterly massive in every way, more so than Casey had expected. He knew Raph was bigger than his brothers in height and muscle mass but this... there was no way any of the brothers could beat this.

Raph's shaft was green, a lighter shade than the rest of his body and as Casey looked up, a slightly darker green, kind of mushroom-shaped head was leaking copious amounts of precum from its tip. As he sat back on his knees, he stared at it, mouth gaping at the sheer masculinity that was pouring off of it. The head wasn't exactly human, it was a bit blunter, a bit wider, but it wasn't so far off the mark that Casey was surprised by it.

No, what surprised him was the sheer size of the thing. It was at least a foot long, maybe more, and several inches wide. Veins ran up and down it and it throbbed openly as Raph groaned lewdly, thrusting his hips ever so slightly into the air as he gripped the couch with one hand.

"T-told ya, babe."

"Fuck me. That's... fuck me." Casey said, his eyes transfixed.

"Is that an invitation?" Raph said with a laugh.

"Dude... I've never sucked a dick before, let alone been fucked by one. I have... I have no idea how you'll ever get that thing in me."

Raph laughed again and wiggled his shell into the couch, getting comfortable while he spoke, "Lots of lube for you, babe. Unfortunately for you, one of the advantages of bein' a turtle like me is that we handle our own uh... lubrication automatically. Our precum is slick. And well... so are other parts of us."

"Fuck me, that's hot," Casey said again as he leaned forward, eyes locked onto the wide tip that was leaking more and more fluid. It was a clear, murky white color and it flowed down Raph's shaft in small pulses, coating the soft skin well. He followed one pulse from the tip, down and down until it stopped at the base of Raph's dick. And then Casey noticed the rest of Raph.

His balls were enormous, fitting him perfectly as they sat in his scaleless sack, pendulous and throbbing slightly along with his pulse. Casey just laughed and reached out, cupping one ball that fit perfectly in his palm.

"Oh shit, Casey--oh my god..."

Several spasms from Raph's hips caused Casey to reach out and lean forward, practically burying his face in the turtle's crotch. He smirked as he nosed around the base of his boyfriend's shaft, tracing his lips and trailing his tongue around the soft skin, smelling the potent musk that emanated naturally from it. It was heavy, slightly sweaty, but also somewhat fresh and natural smelling, like moss almost. Casey thought it suited Raph perfectly and he licked his tongue down further, flicking the tip across the smooth skin of his testicles.

"C-Casey, I don't think I'm gonna last much longer! I-I've been pent up for like three fuckin' days."

"Aww, you waited for me all that time?" Casey said as he grabbed the base of Raph's shaft while he sucked one of his balls into his mouth, getting a feel for just how big his boyfriend was compared to him.

"You shouldn't have," Casey said as he moved his mouth towards the base of the shaft he was holding, licking upward and catching the stream of precum as it descended.

The taste was pure arousal and it hit him with a flood of endorphins, drawing a gasp from both of them as he continued to lap and lick his way up the spire of turtlehood. It was like a sweet, salty, almost delicious sauce that poured from the tip of Raph's cock, and he wanted more of it. He needed more of it. It was so slick too, letting his tongue glide effortlessly whenever he wanted.

Casey's mind felt near and far simultaneously. He was hyper-focused on his job, on bringing Raph to completion, and the rest of him seemed to fall away. His eyelids fluttered as he wrapped his tongue around the rim of Raph's flared tip, leaning forward and letting his tongue trail out of his mouth like a dog as he kissed the slick skin. He swiped his tongue over and over, lapping hard at the opening and filling his mouth with more of that sweet taste.

Raph was quickly coming undone beneath him. His legs were writhing back and forth and he moaned loudly, uncaring if his family heard him. He whimpered slightly as Casey wrapped his lips eagerly around the tip of his shaft, managing to fit him inside his human mouth, which was a feat in and of itself. There was the scrape of teeth at first and he gasped at the sensation, but Casey seemed to notice and pulled back slightly, moaning as he let Raph's cock smear precum across his face.

Raph shuddered at the sensation, the absolute lust that had overtaken his human--the air was thick with his pheromones, much more than he'd anticipated and his heart was beating almost out of his chest as his muscles spasmed. He was close. So close.

Casey gripped the base of his shaft again and lapped at the tip as he clenched his hand and ran it up and down Raph's length. The veins under his hand felt so perfect and his hand glided up and down so easily, so smoothly as he gave his boyfriend a rub, though he was still focused on swirling his tongue around the turtle's tip.

Slowly this time, he opened his mouth and wrapped his lips around the wide rim, feeling the edges of the engorged skin fall into place in his mouth as he lapped and swirled his tongue around. He was so eager. He was new at this, but he was ready and willing to learn. He wanted Raph to feel as good as possible.

Carefully, Casey sucked and pushed forward, feeling that even just a few inches of Raph's shaft would be his limit. For now at least. But he could handle a few inches.

He bobbed his head slightly, tears forming at the edges of his eyes as he strained to fit the massive turtle cock into his throat.

Raph was shaking now, twitching and doing his best not to thrust up into Casey's mouth. He knew his boyfriend was new at this, but his own instincts to mate, to cum, to explode were impossible to ignore. Reaching out, he placed a hand on Casey's head and ran it through his thick hair, moaning loudly again.

"C-Casey! F-fuck, I'm close! I-I'm so close! I'm gonna--!!"

Raph shook hard and yelled, the sound echoing around the living room as he exploded into Casey's mouth. His shaft throbbed and pulsed and thickened inside the human's maw as blasts of cum shot down his throat, the thick seed coating everything.

Casey's eyes bulged at the sudden enlargement of Raph's shaft, and he moaned from lust and worry at the absolute deluge of spunk that suddenly shot down his throat. His tongue had caught the first blast but the second and third and all the others had managed to force their way past and he felt suddenly bloated with his boyfriend's seed. Quickly, he managed to pull off of the pulsing shaft but not before his entire face was absolutely coated in the stuff.

He sputtered and coughed as he felt his shirt getting absolutely soaked with Raph's seed, and yet still, he couldn't help but stick his tongue out once he'd caught his breath, catching a few small drops as they launched from the tip.

The taste... it was everything. If Raph's precum had been an appetizer, his seed was the entree and the dessert all in one. It wasn't as overly salty as his own cum tasted, and had a sweet, fresh taste to it, one that he instantly found himself craving as soon as it was gone.

Raph was barely still there, his orgasm almost knocking him out entirely, though, through force of will, he managed to hold on and watch Casey's face and upper body become absolutely soaked with his cum. What surprised him though was when Casey started to lick his spent cock against, lapping and gulping down his turtle seed like it was candy. The sight would forever be etched in his mind and he swallowed thickly, wondering just how far he and Casey could go with each other in the future.

Casey, for his effort, was soaked and sticky, but entirely satisfied. His first time giving a guy a blowjob and it was his mutant turtle boyfriend who had absolutely the biggest dick he'd ever seen. Not that he'd seen a lot. But the experience left him hungry for more, as his own dick, throbbing hard and leaking between his thighs, reminded him.

He crawled his way up Raph's torso as he unbuttoned his own jeans and slid them down along with his underwear, laying his hairy, naked bottom half across the turtle's body.

The site was so much like a dream to Raph that he wasn't entirely sure it was real. Either way, it was one of the hottest things he'd ever seen.

Still recovering but wanting to give as good as he got, Raph pulled Casey forward and crushed their lips together. He tasted himself on Casey's tongue and got a thrill sent right back to his dick.

This is how he should always taste.

Casey ground his hips against Raph's stomach, rubbing his own cock against the hard plastron and smearing fluids all over it. The big turtle rumbled with pleasure and nuzzled his boyfriend.

"Mm... want me to suck you off too? Y'did such a good job, Case'. Made me feel fuckin' amazin'."

Nodding and without a word, Casey pulled his legs forward and dug them into the cushions behind Raph, slotting the back of his knees into the big turtle's wide, muscled shoulders.

Raph could only look up as he watched Casey peel his cum-covered shirt off, leaving the human entirely naked on top of him.

Casey's body was hardy, beefy, and thick. He wasn't defined or overly lean, instead, he was built like a linebacker. His muscles were meaty and strong, and he had a number of scars that accentuated his build. A thick coating of black body hair ran from his chest down to his crotch, where his thick, eager cock was leaking onto Raph's neck. He peered down at his boyfriend with lust and wanton need, nodded at him again.

"P-please. Suck me."

Immediately, Raph wrapped his arms around Casey's naked form and pulled him forward, opening his mouth and plunging the human's cock into it.

By now, Raph was more than adept at sucking dick, and he swirled his tongue eagerly as he grabbed Casey's ass and pulled him forward, forcing the dick as far down his throat as it would go.

Casey was by no means as large as Raph, but he'd never been ashamed of his dick. Around seven inches in length and fairly thick, it was above average and he'd never gotten any complaints from April.

But what Raph was doing to him was something else entirely. It was like a form of energy had wrapped itself around his shaft and was pulling, licking, sucking, and pulsing heat around it. His eyes rolled back into his head and he thrust forward, gasping lewdly as he felt Raph's throat swallow around him.

The heat and sensation that came from Raph's mouth was incredible, and Casey leaned over his head, wrapping his arms around the scaly, soft skin and thrusting his hips. Raph grunted and redoubled his speed, clenching at Casey's ass, prying his cheeks apart, and fingering his thick fingers up and down his hairy crack. One of them teased his hole and he shuddered, his thrusts faltering as he realized just how close he was to release.

"R-Raph, I-I'm... I'm close now. Holy s-shit, I'm fuckin' close."

Please with himself, Raph sucked harder, sliding his tongue around the thick shaft in his mouth as he pulled Casey close. He slid his thick middle finger between his boyfriend's backside and right against his fluttering hole.

Damn, this boy is eager.

Slowly, he pulsed that finger harder and harder as he sucked more and more, driving Casey's pleasure to new heights as the human cried out his name.

"R-Raphael! Oh fuck, oh my god, OH--"

Casey came hard, harder than he'd ever cum before in his life. He thrust his hips and mashed his cock into Raph's waiting mouth as he shot his seed right down his gullet. It was like being surrounded by silk as he came, sliding easily in and out of the turtle beneath him. And every time he thrust, Raph's finger pressed a little deeper, a little harder into him, edging his hole just enough to drive him higher up the wall of unfathomable pleasure he was climbing.

Raph was used to much bigger dicks with more seed, but Casey was a firebrand all on his own. Even though he was smaller than his brothers, Raph was surprised at just how much seed he was swallowing from his boyfriend's shaft, and at how good it tasted. Saltier and a bit meatier, but delicious in its own right.

Slowly, he pulled back off of Casey's cock and removed his finger from his hole, drawing a gasp from the human sitting on top of him. Both of them were panting heavily, sweaty, and utterly spent. But even so, they looked at each other, their eyes half-lidded and still filled with lust for each other.

The two of them kissed deeply once more and hard. Tasting themselves and each other, mixing their seed together. It was seemingly hot, and it was just the beginning for them.

After a few minutes, both of them had calmed enough to regain their composure. Casey was blushing hard as he sat naked, still on top of Raph's lap. The turtle was nuzzling his boyfriend's hair, getting his scent marked as best he could.

"Mm... pretty sure everyone knows what we just did," Raph said softly, kissing down Casey's neck.

With a shrug, Casey responded, "Well, I assumed they'd know anyway from the smell. Even I can tell someone had sex in here."

Raph chuckled and kissed Casey again before lifting him up to stand, then standing himself, towering over the human. He smirked and shook his head.

"Let's get cleaned up. Least the showers are free," he said as he grabbed Casey's hand in his and started to lead him towards the showers before pausing, "Not that I'd mind sharing."

Casey just laughed and shook his head, feeling the thrill of walking naked in the lair he'd called home more than once before, and following an equally naked turtle he'd just had sex with.

He was still laughing when Raph suddenly stopped, causing Casey to walk right into his back. He shook his head a bit and peered around the mountain of turtle muscle to see... Leo.

He was standing just in front of the shower entrance, naked and unashamedly showing off his assets. He was clearly aroused and his cock bobbed in front of him as he leaned his shoulder against the doorway. Casey's eyes widened at how well-endowed the other turtle was compared to Raph, nearly the same length and maybe even a bit thicker, with those same massive, swinging balls hanging heavily beneath his shaft.

Without a word, Leo walked slowly up to them, though sauntered was more like it. His eyes blinked from Raph's to Casey's and he grinned at them both as he approached, stopping right in front of Raph.

He pushed up against him, his cock turning up and sliding between their plastrons as he leaned in close. His lips trailed up Raph's neck until they reached the other turtle's and slowly, sensuously, he kissed his brother. Their lips slid over each other and Leo thrust his tongue hard into Raph's mouth, drawing moans from them both as they seemed to battle.

Casey watched in awe as the two behemoths kissed openly, the heat of their passion nearly scalding to behold.

But slowly, Leo pulled away, licking Raph's mouth as he thrust forward, smearing his precum over his brother's plastron, and then trailing his fingers through the residue.

He turned to Casey and flicked his eyes to Raph, who nodded.

Casey took a step forward and didn't fully realize what was happening until Leo had leaned down to his level and looked him straight in the eye for a moment. And then he reached out and trailed a finger over Casey's face, the same finger that had his precum on it. The somewhat sticky residue followed Leo's fingers as he ran it over Casey's nose and lips.

And then suddenly, Leo was kissing him too. The leader's lips were pressed against his own shocked ones and, for a moment, Casey couldn't think, let alone breathe.

But Leo's tongue was insistent and he opened his mouth, letting the bigger turtle taste him, share him.

Leo moaned and a soft churr reverberated from his chest as he tasted both Casey and Raph's seed, letting his mind get to know the combination well before he pulled back. His cock was bobbing more now, and to Casey's surprise, a jet of precum shot out and hit him square in the chest. Leo chuckled and trailed his hand down the human's muscled chest, matting the thick hair down with his precum.

He leaned down, kissing Casey's cheek and nuzzling his beard slightly before he whispered into his ear.

"Welcome to the family, Casey Jones."

Then he stood up straight, winking at Casey before leaning over and kissing Raph once more. And suddenly, he turned and left, heading towards his room as silently as, well, a ninja.

Casey was absolutely stunned. Aroused. Curious. So many things.

He looked to Raph who gave him a slight grin and shrugged his shoulders.

"Told you we were weird."

He grabbed Casey's hand and pulled him gently towards the showers.
