I've re-read Perseverance and Braving It, as it's been a while since I've updated, and I've decided to make a few plot changes to freshen it up. I've also decided to introduce a famous canon character... stick around to find out who it is. As always, feedback is greatly appreciated.
************************
Lisa couldn’t believe it - she’d been halfway to the subway when some jerk had driven through a big puddle and splashed her. Her clothes were dripping wet and muddy. She looked down at her white sweater - it was ruined. She made it to the subway steps and hurried down to catch her train. Leonardo was supposed to take her out tonight and she’d been hoping to wear the same sweater... he’d told her she looked pretty in it that morning. She picked some mud out of her hair - she’d have to have a shower and pick out a new outfit. Wherever Leo was planning on taking her, she hoped they could sneak in late.
She and Leonardo had been getting closer lately. Their goodnight kisses had turned into full-on groping sessions but things were getting more awkward between them as well. Sooner or later things were going to have to progress, and Lisa didn’t know if she could handle that.
So far Leo’s date ideas had been very original. In the last few weeks, they’d been to the planetarium (after hours, of course), they’d watched the circus school students perform in the park, and they’d crept into an old movie house to watch an old film from the closed-off balcony. That last date hadn’t gone well… they’d held hands, like they usually did, and Leonardo had even felt brave enough to put his arm around her in the flickering light.
They’d pushed the dusty armrest back so they could sit closer together and at first, Lisa’s hand had stayed on his knee. She’d brushed her fingers over his thick skin, just feeling the texture, but then her fingers had wandered higher up his heavy thighs, tracing the muscle definition. Lisa wasn’t sure why she did it… part of her was curious about his body. She looked at him all the time, but there were parts of him that she still new nothing about, and it made her nervous. Bubba’s penis had smelled like seaweed… what if Leo’s did too? She couldn’t cope with that.
She felt Leo stiffen as her fingers brushed closer to his groin, but she couldn’t bring herself to look up to his eyes. Finally her fingers arrived at the bottom of his plastron… if he was a human guy, her hand would be directly on his…
“Lisa?” Leo asked.
She bit her lip nervously and looked up. He looked nervous and confused, which made her feel bad. “I’m sorry, Leo,” she whispered as she pulled her hand back. “I just…” she trailed off and looked back to the movie screen.
He watched her for several long moments and then asked, “Are you okay?”
She sighed and looked back into his eyes. “Yeah,” she said. “I just… I guess I just wanted to touch you.”
Leonardo gave her a weird smile. “Okay,” he said. “You can touch me all you want.”
Lisa curled her legs up onto her seat and took a deep breath. She put her hand on his knee again and went back to tracing his muscles. The minutes ticked by and she knew darn well that he wasn’t paying a bit of attention to the movie. Once again, her fingers arrived at his plastron, he shifted in his seat, and she pulled her hand away. They looked at each other for a long time before he spoke.
“Tell me what’s bothering you,” he said. “I know something is.”
Lisa shut her eyes for a moment and turned her head back to the screen. “What do you look like… there?” she asked.
It took Leo a moment to figure out what she meant, and when he did, he felt his cheeks go hot. “Uh… you mean my uh…” he stammered.
“Yeah,” Lisa said. “I know that’s personal to ask, but… I know you’d like to… but I can’t…”
Leo tucked her hair behind her ear. “Hey,” he said, gently. “We said we’d take it slow, remember? I’m in no rush… I’m happy just spending time with you.”
Lisa smiled shyly at him. “Well… maybe I’d like to try something more but…”
“Bubba?” Leo guessed.
“The smell,” Lisa whispered. “Oh Leo, you can’t imagine the smell…”
Leo shifted in his seat. Her touches had made him hard as a rock but now his erection shriveled. He frowned a little and tried to think of something to say.
“Uh, well… Bubba and Frank probably weren’t taking too many showers,” he said. “Heck, I doubt Frank could have fit in a shower… Are you worried that I’ll smell gross… down there… because I’m a mutant?”
Lisa bit her lip and looked at the floor. “Maybe,” she admitted. She put her head in her hands and took a deep breath.
Leo shifted again and sighed. He felt like he‘d been kicked in the nuts. How could she think his body was gross after all the time they’d spent together? “Well, it’s not flattering,” he grumbled. He stood up to leave - she’d crossed the line. He was not gross. “Come on,” he said. “I think I should take you home.”
Leonardo took Lisa back to her house and waited until she unlocked the door, then he stepped into the shadows and went home. He could hear her calling him as she realized he’d left her. Back at the lair, the others were very surprised to see him and even more surprised when he’d stomped through the lair to his room and slammed the door. Leo never slammed the door.
Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Charlie blinked at each other in surprise. Charlie was the first to move. “I’m gonna guess that’s girl trouble,” she said. “I’ll go talk to him.”
She walked down the hall to their rooms and tapped gently on the door.
“This really isn’t a good time,” Leo grumbled.
“Yeah, I got that,” Charlie called through the door. “Can I come in anyway?”
“Are you alone?”
“Yes,” she answered.
There was a long pause and then she heard, “Fine.”
Charlie opened the door and stepped into his room. She pushed it shut and walked over to Leo’s bed. The blue turtle sat on his bed with a box of rags and was carefully polishing his katanas. Charlie sat next to him and rested her chin on his shoulder to watch him work. “What happened?” she asked.
“Apparently I’m a smelly mutant,” he grumbled. The sword was in perfect condition, but he kept running the rag over it, watching it tear against the sharp blade.
“What?” Charlie barked. “Tell me what happened!”
Leo sighed heavily and with a lot of blushing and downcast eyes, he told her about their conversation at the movie theatre. Charlie rubbed the back of his shell as he talked, then moved her hand up to the back of his neck when she remembered that he couldn’t feel it.
“She’s never gonna come around, is she?” he asked. “I mean… I didn’t mind waiting when I thought she was eventually going to love me… for who I am.” He looked at his three-fingered hands and then balled them into fists. “But after everything we’ve been through and everything I’ve done for her, she still thinks I’m a disgusting, smelly mutant! He looked at Charlie and asked, “Tell me the truth… do we… does Don smell bad… down there?”
“No,” Charlie said, softly. “No, Leo, he doesn’t… his penis smells like the rest of him does, only a little stronger.” She reached out and hugged him. “Bubba was gross, but you guys aren’t. You did the right thing by coming home… always stand up for your dignity.”
Leonardo rested his head on hers and sighed again. “What do I do?” he asked. “I don’t want to make things difficult between you and Lisa, but I’m not so desperate that I’ll keep dating someone who’s repulsed by me.”
“Don’t worry about that,” Charlie said. “You’re going to be my brother-in-law just as soon as we figure out how to get married. I’ll always side with you guys before anyone else… you’re my family.” She reached out and picked up one of his swords. It was a lot heavier than it looked. she turned it over in her hand for a minute, then passed it back to him. “Want my advice?” she asked.
“Yeah,” he said.
“Give her another chance. It sounds like she was trying to move forward and be honest with you, so you should ask her out again and see how it goes. That doesn’t mean you have to let her insult you or make you feel like you’re less-than-human, though.”
Leo nodded. “I really do like her… she’s fun to hang out with… usually.” He passed Charlie a rag and turned his katana so the blade faced up. She dropped the rag over it and watched it shred.
“Lisa’s been through a lot,” Charlie added. “And it’s not your job to fix her, Leo. You’re a great guy and you’ve been very kind to her, but maybe you need to do a little less for her for a while and see how that goes.”
Leonardo sheathed his swords and stood to hand them on his wall next to a small tapestry with a picture of a Japanese village on it. He leaned his forehead against the wall and took a deep breath. “What if she breaks up with me?”
*****
Leonardo reached down and patted the dog that lived across the street from Lisa. If he didn’t know better, he’d swear that the dog waited out every night for his green visitor. Leonardo frowned as he scratched the dog’s ears - the lights were all out at Lisa’s again. The porch light was on, though, which was good.
He hurried across the street and knocked on the door. There was no answer. “Lisa?” He called. Still no answer. Had she decided that she didn’t want him to take her out? Leo looked up and down the street. No one seemed to be around, but he still didn’t feel comfortable standing out where anyone could see him. He tried the doorknob and it turned easily. Leo frowned… why wasn’t it locked?
He crept through the dark livingroom toward a thin sliver of light that shone through a crack in her bedroom door. He peered inside and saw Lisa, sitting on her bed, wrapped in a towel. He watched for a moment as she combed her hair, and then he knocked gently on her door.
“Lisa?” he called.
She screamed and jumped to her feet. The towel fell to the floor and Leo took in her breasts and shaved pussy before she grabbed it back up. It didn’t excite him as much as he thought it would.
“It’s just me,” he said. “You left your door unlocked and I was worried.”
She hurried to her bedroom door and opened it. “Were you spying on me?” she asked.
“What? No, of course not,” Leo said. “Don’t be so jumpy.”
“I’m not jumpy!” she snapped. Lisa frowned at him for a moment before her face softened. “Just give me a minute to get dressed, and then we’ll go, okay?”
“Okay,” Leo said. He went into the livingroom, turned the light on, and sat on the couch. Why was she being so snappy? He took out his shell cell and texted Don.
LEO: Hey bro.
DON: How’s the date going?
LEO: :S
DON: Oh… everything okay?
Leo waited nearly a minute before responded. He didn’t know what to say.
LEO: I don’t know. She’s being weird. Can I ask you something really personal?
DON: Sure.
LEO: The first time you saw Charlie naked, how did you feel?
DON: :D!!!!
LEO: Yeah, that’s what I thought.
DON: Did you see Lisa naked?
LEO: Yeah. Just for a sec.
DON: And?
LEO: :S
There was a long pause and then his cell beeped as someone else sent him a text.
CHARLIE: Where are you going on your date?
LEO: Symphony in the park.
CHARLIE: Want Donnie and I to go to?
Leo sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. That might actually make things less awkward.
LEO: Yeah… thanks.
He heard Lisa’s door open and he quickly shut his cell and tucked it in his belt.
