Your fingers trembled as they clutched the plush blanket closer to your form, you made a mental note to contact the owner of the apartments to come fix your damn heating. You could hear your teeth chattering but the motion only felt numb in your mouth, body too cold to feel anything, even the clothes on your back. You had been sat in a mass muddle of blankets and towels for the better part of the day, doing nothing that involved getting out of bed unless it was anything major like peeing and snacking on food.
The world outside of your blankets was dangerous and cold, you had forbidden yourself from leaving the cosy comforts of your fort. Yet that didn't stop the universe from messing with you. A loud bang clattered along the fire escape beside your living room window, the impact loud enough to reach your ears in the bedroom. Your breathing quickened at the thought of it being an intruder, but when the sound of light knocking came after silence, your breathing subsided.
Bellowing as loud as you could, knowing you'd get some angry neighbours in the morning, you waited for the sound of movement; which didn't take long. Raph easily lifted the window with one hand, whipping one thigh over the window ledge and onto the hardwood flooring. He let out a small squeal at the sudden coolness of your flooring, masking his outburst with a deep guttural cough, he continued until his body was fully inside.
Was it somehow colder in here than it was outside? The thought had crossed Raph's mind rather quickly, picking up the pace to find you, he checked the thermostat as he went. There's the problem, frowning Raph's large finger pocked and prodded the small dial forcing it to turn to a much higher temperature. When the dial stopped turning, Raph used more force, after a few short seconds the dial came off altogether in his hand. With wide eyes and a panicked frown, Raph checked you weren't around before jamming the dial back onto the wall.
"Everything okay in there, hello?" your heavenly voice called out to him. Raph had then realised he had never said anything to you, he just waltzed into your home broke your heating and remained silent like some warmth stealing thief. "Er, y-y-" his voice cracked as he spoke, coughing again to mask the imperfection he continued, "Er, yeah, don't worry 'bout it!" his voice was light but it was only to hide the fact that he had broken something of yours.
Now taking cautious steps into your room, a light smile lifted his face as he was you perched in your blankets like a cacoon. A t.v remote was by your side, while food wrappers and empty mugs laid on your bedside table. "Comfortable?" Raph teased, moving to stand beside your bed. You rolled your eyes at the comment, instead opting to pull the ring of blankets surrounding your closer to your neck. Taking that as your snarky reply back, Raph continued on, wanting to delve deeper into the problem.
"So what happened here? Miss Christmas already?"
"No," you huffed out, suppressing a shiver down your spine, "My heating blew out and the guy can't come and fix it until Monday." The disdain in your voice for this maintenance worker was very noticeable, especially with the harsh glare in your eyes. Taking in her form again with a clearer gaze, Raph's brain began to work, something Donnie chided would never happen. Goody two-shoes know it all Raph grumbled.
Leaning over your bed, Raph began pawing at your blankets. You shuffled away from him, your face contorting into the word offended, "What do you think you're doing?" you questioned with a pointed glare, how dare he disrupt your fiery kingdom. "Do you wanna be warm or what?" he groaned out, but soon smirked at your reluctance to answer his question with a straight face. Allowing him the luxury of pulling back the blankets, your body contorted into itself as soon as the bitter cold nipped at your skin, a whine leaving your lips.
"Quit ya whining like a puppy, just give me a minute!" Raph huffed out, gently laying down on your bed as to not break it. You felt the bed dip with his weight, your body rolling down to land beside him. He flipped the blankets into the air, smoothly wrapping an arm behind your shoulders as the blankets gently landed over you both. "See? Am I good or what?" he bragged, you shrugged your shoulders, body still shaking.
Raph growled at the shake of your arms, he pulled you closer to him, allowing you to finally feel that body warmth he was willingly sharing with you. With his free hand, Raph grabbed the T.V remote and flipped through the stations finding something worthwhile. You, however, were gazing up at him, eyes sparkling with joy and love. "What?" he asked, his eyes catching yours for a moment more before flicking back to the T.V, "Nothing, just- thank you," you hummed, shuffling your head against his arm.
"Hey, I'm not just doin' this for you, y'know how warm you are to a cold-blooded turtle like me?" he joked, earning a giggle of laughter from you. Lifting yourself just enough to reach his neck, you began littering kisses along his skin, embracing the churr that rumbled from beneath his shell.
Raph just smiled down at you, leaning closer he sealed the deal with a kiss to your forehead, you beamed at the added warmth that his lips provided. "Anytime, toots," You'd treasure this memory forever.
