(Time Skip/year 2025)
Two weeks later
It was finally over, the guys were heading back and Raph was packing up his bags to head back into the lair. You and Raph were going to clean the entire place since it was most likely dusty, restock the fridge and clean up the rooms and dojo. You were going to miss seeing his face every day, as was he, but this was the next step, and you were both excited. When you got to the lair Raph took in a deep breath as you looked at him.
R: Ahh...the smell of sweat, anxiety and depression and virginity...god it's good to be home.
You laughed hunched over as you leaned on him for support. You calmed down and got his stuff back in his room. After you got him settled back in you both stood at the entrance with buckets of soapy water, brooms clothes and rolled-up sleeves. You had your hair up with a bandanna on your forehead. 
R: you ready? 
"Let's do this." 
The two of you started sweeping moping dusting. You whipped everything down and as he finished up you got groceries to last them for a few months. Raph was mopping up the living room floor as he thought about the last several months. You two got so used to living with each other that he didn't want to leave your apartment. But he thought it was too soon to start fully living together. For the past twelve months, he was in heaven because he got to be with you and only you. He stopped having his nightmares, he got to be a lot more, him. Not this outer protective shell  that he created. And he really liked that feeling. He remembered your first time, kiss, and date. He recalled when he was just sitting on the couch on the phone and you'd just come up to him after a long day at work and just lay on his belly. Being heavier he worried a bit, but you were always there to show him or tell him how much you loved him. 
"Ok, I have to go get groceries, could you finish up moping and dusting?"
R: of course, I can love. 
"Thank you...I'll see you in an hour or so."
R: bye. 
He smiled as you kissed then you walked away to the garage. He watched you leave and blushed smiling. For the next little bit he threw on some music and finished up the rest of the cleaning while you were gone. When you came back you were walking into the lair from the garage you carried four bags in your arms. 
"Hey, honey you busy right now?"
R: for you? Not at all. 
"Great could you help me bring in the groceries then, 'cause there is a lot."
R: of course.
He smiled and kissed your head before grabbing the groceries. After you put them all away you got pizza and drinks sitting in the living room, you where you both cuddled up as the movie played smiles on both of your faces. Raph kissed your forehead rubbing your lower back as he wrapped his arm around your body. Feeling his warmth comforted you, you loved him so much. 
"Honey..."
R: yes sweetheart?
You looked at him and smiled pulling him in and kissing his cheek. Making his eyes widen when he looked at you. 
R: y/n? Are you...
"Why don't we...head up to your room?"
R: oooh...
He smiled and kissed you putting his hand on your thigh as you leaned more on him. He laid you down on the couch making you smile wrapping your legs around his waist. Your arms wrapped around his neck made him blush. He then broke the kiss while smiling and he picked you up and ran to his room with you in his arms as you giggled he evilly chuckled. He didn't know why you loved him, but for as long as you do. He'll do anything to make you as happy as you've made him. When laying there with you, you looked at him and rubbed a circle on his chest.
R: this is the most amount of fun I've ever had in this room...
You didn't say anything, you just looked at the floor. You haven't spoken about it since it happened.
