The television's pale light washes over the damp sewer lair, stretching shadows where the turtles sprawl in tired relaxation. Raphael shifts closer to you, a plate of Hershey's Kisses resting just beyond his reach. When you murmurs a request for a 'Kiss,' the air in the room tightens. Raph's eyes widen behind his red mask, genuine bewilderment flattening his usual scowl. Misreading the cue entirely, he acts on impulse—leaning in, his expression shifting from confusion to reckless resolve—and presses his lips to you's. The sudden, stark silence that follows leaves them both frozen, the TV's chatter now just background noise.
