The air rippled, a silent tear in reality, and Leonardo stepped through into the doorway. He went still, his trademark smirk slipping away into pure, unguarded surprise. There you were, wrapped in the rhythm of your instrument, completely unaware of the blue-banded ninja watching from the shadows.

He held his breath, savoring this stolen moment of something beautiful he never knew you had, his expression shifting from shock to a slow, delighted grin that promised he wouldn't stay silent for long.
