(For TMNT: It’s not so bad in No Man’s Land)

Kisses 5 VS 1: Five times Raph kisses Shredder and one time Shredder kisses Raph.

(I’ve seen this kind of thing a few times before and I thought I would try it out)

1

The morning was quiet but warm, even in an early hour such as this. Shredder rolled over to face his partner, only to find him already awake and smiling warmly at him.

“Mornin’, Bloss.” He said.

Saki blinked at him, “Since when are you awake before me?”

Raph’s smile simply grew. He shuffled forward and pressed a kiss to Saki’s cheek.

2

Raphael looked up when he heard approaching footsteps as he gently set the weapon he had been working on down. Saki was walking over to him, on hand behind his back.

“What’cha got there, Sugar?” He called.

Shredder stopped in front of him, “I know you like games. Guess.”

Raph hummed as he folded his arms over his chest, “Flowers?”

Shredder pulled his hand out from behind his back to reveal a large bouquet of Tudor roses. Raph grinned as he took them.

“Pretty as always,” Raph leant down and kissed Shredder on the cheek of his Kuro Kabuto, “I’ll go put these in some water.”

3

Raph laid awake, staring at the empty bed in front of him. Shredder hadn’t retired when he had, promising Raph that he would only be another thirty minutes or so. That was an hour ago. Hachikō had even chosen to sleep near the door so that he could greet Saki when he finally decided to come to bed.

With a huff of annoyance, Raph threw off the covers and stormed out of the room.

Shredder was still sat at his desks when Raph thundered in. He looked up at him as he entered, looking completely surprised. Raph simply folded his arms over his chest and looked at him expectantly. Shredder sighed and set his pen down before standing up. When he moved over to Raph, he was met with an approving smile. Raph stopped him just long enough to kiss him on the shoulder before he took his hand and led him out of the room.

4

Shredder perked up at the sound of footsteps and set his coffee down on the counter. Raph came stumbling in, eyes half open and an exhausted look in his face. Despite this, he moved over to Saki first and pressed a kiss to his temple before he went on his way to make his morning coffee.

5

Raph raced around the bedroom, muttering ‘shit shit shit shit!’ Under his breath as he went. He was close to being late for some meeting with the Iron Brotherhood. Saki watched him from the bed, trying hard not to laugh let he be subjected to one of Raph’s infamous glares. Once he was mostly dressed (his tie was still undone and he had his coat stuffed under one arm) Raph moved to the door. He paused when he opened the door before rushing back to the bed again. He gave Hachikō an affectionate pat before leaning down and pressing a kiss to Shredder’s forehead. Then he ran out of the door like his pants were on fire and Shredder lowed himself a small chuckle.

1

Raph dropped down from the skylight and landed in a smooth, perfectly silent crouch in front of the throne. Shredder watched him as he wandered up the steps to reach him, grinning behind his Kuro Kabuto. Saki moved his arms and Raph made himself comfortable in his lap. Raph removed his helmet once he was comfortable and held it in his lap.

“Nothin’ new,” Raph said, slumping against his shoulder, “Nothin’ interestin’, either.”

Shredder hummed airily as he twirled the tails of Raph’s mask about his fingers.

“You aren’t listenin’, are you?”

Shredder shook his head, “No.”

Raph rolled his eyes, “Typical.”

Shredder chuckled. He removed the mouthpiece of his Kuro Kabuto, leant forward and caught Raph’s lips in a soft kiss which seemed to genuinely surprise him. Raph looked like a deer in headlights when Saki pulled away, which made him chuckle again.

“Is that a sufficient apology?” He asked.

Raph blinked at him before he gave him a light shove in the shoulder.

“You’re lucky you’re pretty.” He grumbled.

I want to write more development for the relationships between my characters, that’s why I created TMNT: The Men and The Myths. My problem is that I think you don’t want to see these developments so I either skip over them or write very small and dry scenes that I don’t think have much impact. Shredder and Raph will be the main focus, of course, and I do intend to flesh out their relationship more, but I want to focus on some of the non-romantic relationships as well:

TMNT It’s not so bad in No Man’s Land sneak peek

Shredder leant back as a grin settled on his lips, letting his arms reach back to rest along the back of the large armchair he had settled into. He watched as his new ‘friend’ sauntered over, drink in hand.

“Y’know,” Raph hummed as he sat himself down on the arm of the chair, “Comin’ to meet you is becomin’ harder and harder to do.”

Shredder hummed, running his knuckles down Raph’s arm, “Know that your efforts are deeply appreciated.”

Raph scoffed, “I’m serious. Casey’s startin’ to get as bad as Leo. I can’t convince him to cover for me forever.”

“You’re good a lying,” Shredder stated, “I’m sure you’ll figure it out. What have you got for me, Songbird?”

Raph rolled his eyes. He slid down to curl up in the little bit of space between Shredder and the arm of the couch and threw his legs into his lap. Shredder didn’t seem to care; if he did, he didn’t say anything.

“Nothin’ you’ll like.”

“I don’t like most things,” Shredder mused as he curled an arm around Raph’s shoulders, “But the things I do like more than compensate. Tell me.”

Raphael smirked as he lifted his glass, “If you insist.”

As is, I will try to use voice typing to answer my current asks so expect those in the coming weeks!

New peace

The Shredder awoke, sitting up sharply as a gasp escaped his lips. His nightmare long forgotten; the fear remained. The fear was unforgettable, something that would never truly let him go. He knew it well, just like how he knew his rage. They were his demons, a fight he could never hope to win alone.

A shift captured his attention. He looked down, his chest still heaving with shaking breaths. Raphael rolled onto his side, facing the Shredder. He hadn’t awoken, thankfully, and was slumbering peacefully under the covers. Shredder felt his shoulders slump as his fear slowly dissipated. He laid back down and gathered the mutant into his arms. Shredder held him close, resting his chin on Raph’s head as he wrapped almost his entire body around him. Raphael sleepy arms snuck around him in return.

The Shredder closed his eyes, his breath ending out as a gentle sigh escaped him. This feeling was as alien to Shredder as it was addictive; his new peace settled in his heart. He slept, comforted by Raphael’s presence in his arms.

Idk if any writers know this or not but there's this guy who talks about historical weapons and the practicality of them which I think will really help writers make their fighting a bit more realistic. His name is bluminek on YouTube and he made this video about throwing knives I that I didn't even know about.

So make sure to check out his channel!

Fight Night

Raphael rolled his shoulders as he entered the ring, grinning from ear to ear from beneath his helmet. He was dressed in a red long-sleeved dress shirt with black pants and black shoes. He was wearing his signature vambraces that hid his arms and hands.

His opponent was smaller than him, though who wasn't now? But, he was still pretty big, rippling with muscle from beneath his tight clothes. Shredder had picked the man to hopefully give Raph some kind of challenge; he was one of the brutes in the Footclan and he looked like he's been in loads of fights.

Fight Night had become something of a tradition after Raph realised that Saki owned a couple fighting rings. He would go there once a week just to fight anybody who wanted to. People would bet on who would win. The regulars and members of the Iron Brotherhood and the Footclan betted on him, but the challengers' friends betted on them.

If the man was nervous, he didn't show it. He was watching Raph closely. Despite the fact he wasn't wearing his armour, Raph's opponent still got a weapon. He had chosen a simple bat and was twisting it in his hands. It was made of steel with a rubber grip. If it weren't for the tearing in the rubber grip, Raph would have said it was brand new.

Neither of them moved when the bell rang to start the fight. They were waiting for the other to make the first move. Raphael normally was never patient in a fight but he wanted to see what his opponent would do. Saki had picke dhim so he must be good, right?

After a couple of seconds of staring at each other, Raph and his opponent charged at the same time. He swung first and Raph ducked under it with ease. The mutant went to punch the man in the side with a simple right hook but he leapt back just in time. Good, he was fast.

Raphael followed his lead, keeping close to prevent him from swinging the bat properly. The man kept trying to back away and Raph kept pursuing. Raph went for a straight jab for the face, but the man ducked under the swing and tried to step around him. Raphael responded by bringing his knee up sharply and just about managing to scrape his torso when the man leapt back. Men and women, friends and strangers all shouted from outside of the cage. Their gazes were eating Raph and his opponent alive. Raph could make out his men telling him to stop toying with him and he could hear his opponent's friends telling him to help them win their bet. Raph found himself smirking again.

Raph lunged forward. He swung a left hook and, when the man moved to duck under it just like Raph thought he would, Raphael shifted his weight and slammed his knee up. The man shouted when Raph's knee connected with his nose and he fell back, hands flying to his face. Raphael outstretched his leg and slammed his heel down into the man's stomach as hard as he could, knocking the wind out of him and slamming him down into the ground.

Raph backed off as the man laid there, groaning. He watched him as the crowd's roaring got louder; his men telling Raph to finish the job, the man's friends telling him to get up off the damn floor.

It took a couple minutes, but the man slowly brought himself up. His nose was bleeding bad and was definitely broken but his hands still settled themselves over his torso despite this. It was only when the man was on his feet was when Raph charged again. This time, the man wasn't quick enough. Raphael shoulder-barged him so hard he went flying into the cage's wall with Raph colliding into him. Raph grasped the man's shoulder in one hand to keep him still and raised the other one high. The man glanced at the hand, visibly paling as his eyes grew wide. Raphael winked at him before knocking him out in a single blow.

Cheers and boos screamed through the air as Raph left the ring. A few of his men that he passed patted him on the shoulder or the back and sung his praises while his opponent's friends rushed to get him up. Raphael left the main area and moved up into the private office where the Shredder was waiting.
