Your body instinctively tenses as Leo’s sturdy plastron presses firmly against your back, creating a solid barrier that feels both safe and comforting. His strong arms wrap around you in an undeniably protective embrace, yet carries a hint of possessiveness that sends a small shiver through you. His left hand gently covers your eyes, shrouding you in darkness and blocking out everything outside of this intimate cocoon you've found yourselves in.

With his right hand, he captures the delicate curve of your neck, his fingers dancing lightly against your skin in a soft, teasing rhythm that ignites a familiar warmth within you. It's as if each caress is a silent promise, a testament to the bond you share. You can practically sense the smug smirk spreading across the turtle mutant’s face as he relaxes, leaning into you, his chin resting comfortably on your shoulder.

“Y'know... Telling me I’m crazy... just sounds wrong…” he murmurs, his voice a low and smooth drawl that sends another shiver down your spine. The sound wraps around you, mingling with the warmth of his presence. Every brush of his thumb along the nape of your neck feels electrifying, tracing the delicate bumps of your spine in a way that shows how much he's in control.

“I'd rather just say... I’m madly in love with you," he whispers, the warmth of his breath grazing your skin, sending shivers cascading across your nerves. The words hang in the air, heavy with sincerity, as he leans closer, pressing a tender kiss just beneath your ear.
