Strangest Kind Of Love

Rose was in her bathroom, taking her usual midnight shower at around 11pm. She was getting ready to go to bed since, her hopes of Raph showing up that night had been crushed.


When she came out of the bathroom to get dressed, he was there, seated on her bed like it were his with his back facing the bathroom door emmiting his usual cold and distant aura. As usual she didn't notice it maybe because she wasn't a very observant person. His hair was damp as if he too just got out of the shower and he was dressed in his pajamas. A black top and grey sweatpants. He seems really fond of dark colors too.


Rose wasn't wearing anything decent. She thought she'd be the only one in her room so, she wasn't wearing her bathrobe. The only thing covering her shame was a towel just was just below her feminity. But she had totally forgotten all these facts as she yelled "Raph!!"


He immediately stood up like he were a kid caught in the act of stealing. She ran up to him and hugged him really tight he could hardly breathe. Or, so she thought. He stood there, astonished. He wasn't expecting this reaction from her. She looked up at him with pursed lips like a child about to throw a tantrum. "Why did you come late?" she said with an accusing tone.


"Just busy" he answered in a nonchalant tone.


"Yeahhhhhh. Busy with taking a bath? Because, you smell really nice. Like..." She inhaled his scent to point her finger on what he smelt like. "The earth...and rain. That nice but faint smell after a rainy day. Ughhh! I'm officially intoxicated by your scent". She was no longer obeying the personal space rule. She tiptoed and buried her face in the nook of his neck and inhaled his scent once more. 


What she didn't know is that he always smelt like that. But, she had never noticed because it took great concentration to make out his scent. It was just too faint to realize it was even there.


"I think it's called personal space please"


With widened eyes - because of realization - she took a step backward. "Come, let's go to the balcony and I'll give you the manners 101 class you missed when you were young" Without waiting for his response, she grabbed his arm but, he wasn't moving. She turned around to see why when he said "Like this?"


She had totally forgotten that she was indecently dressed! All the excitement she was feeling evaded her rationality. She turned red out of embarrassment. 


"I'll just go to the balcony and wait for you there. I'll close the door behind me" he said like a polite gentleman.


"Why? Do you want me to get you dressed because, if that's what you want, I can make it happen." his naughty side was coming alive as he was wearing a wicked smirk.


"NO! I just don't trust you enough. How am I so sure you won't be looking through the peep hole."


"Ok, I'll just leave you for the night. It's even already late"


"Elm, how about we do this. You stay here and I'll go to the other side of the room." She immediately ran to other room. "Elm, close your eyes." He did as he was told. "Now, turn around, for extra protection. Do not open you eyes nor turn around even if you hear me c


Once she was sure he was doing as he was told, she scrambled her room for her pajamas and when she found the pair she was looking for, she went back to her original position and started to get dressed quickly. She was about putting on her shirt when Raph said "The funny thing is that I can still see with my eyes closed"
