*Yes, she might be leading, but that doesn't stop Raph from getting the door. Which, in of itself is strange. He's not usually one for opening doors for people, but this is different.*

So yeah, the roof.

"If you wanna keep going, we can. I was just taking a breather."

*he very quickly sits down, and despite the fact that he's not breathing hard...*

Breather sounds good.

She rolls onto her belly, chin resting in her hands, ankles crossed in the air.

"You know, for just a second back there, you almost looked like you were having fun."

She's grinning. Still.

*smirk*
Lies. All lies.

"Funny. I don't believe you."

*looks taken aback*
Gasp! M'lady, you wound me!

"Me? Wound a big strong boy like you? Surely you jest."

No jest. And don't call me Shirley.

She smiles at him, and reaches up to pat his cheek.

"You're great, you know that?"

*a blush begins to form*
lies. always wit' the lies.

She taps him gently in the chest. Her voice is quiet.

"What, you don't believe me?"

*he breaks eyecontactl, but there's a half smile lurking.*
nah, you're biased.

She looks down, very interested in the blanket on the bed.

"Maybe. A little. More than I should be."

Yeah, so you mentioned.

Suddenly, this bed seems like a very dangerous place to be... and yet, she's not moving. She just looks up at him.

"Yeah... how about that?"

Yeah how about...
*He turns back, not expecting her to be looking in his direction*
that..

She sits up, not breaking eyecontact, and leans forward just the tiniest little bit, to touch his cheek with the tips of her fingers.

"This is bad. So bad..."

yeah, probably

*His hand covers her, but unlike last time he doesn't pull away.*

She leans in, very slowly, very carefully, and brushes her lips against his.

It's such a tiny thing, but... there's not that much that could prepare him for it. It feels like all the sweetness that comes from life on the edge of a razor. It's Jack and Coke and sun on the water and blades in an alley.

*His eyes close, and there is a sharp intake of breath. It takes his eyes a few seconds to focus when he does reopen them. He's speechless....utterly speechless*

She leans back and smiles at him, sweetly and maybe a little sadly.

"That's why we don't get involved with mortals."

*with a look of astonishment still overpowering his expression*
that's not the conclusion I'd have come to....

She strokes his cheek with her thumb.

"I don't want to break you, Raph."

*Completely sincere*
You're years too late for that.

"Are you alright?"
