Just another day

@accioturtur

"Three Valentine's Days in. Not bad for a relationship that began at superspeed based on mutual murderous professions, hidden from everyone until it wasn't, interspecies at best, and by far the best thing to have ever happened to me."

"Happy Valentine's Day Mikey" she answered with a smile that brighted his entire day.

"Do you know that you mean more to mean than my entire comic book collection? More than my babies?"

"I'm sure your nunchucku are very offended" she laughed as he kissed her neck lovingly. "But yes, I know."

"I can't wait to go out. First time out in the world on the most romantic day of the year with my wifey? Best time ever."

"Everyday with you is the most romantic day of the year baby" Shadow was milling about the desk, piling various papers into piles to keep everything organized.

"You wound me. Today will be extra heavy on romance!!"

"Hmm. What have you got planned?"

"Dinner."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"It's a lonely table, off in the back where we can be alone."

"Are you sure? Laying low has been working wonders for you."

"I'm sure. Going out to dinner with you on Valentine's has been one of the highlights of this whole thing. I literally woke up in the hospital after it was all said and done and thought, Ah ha! Finally we can go out on a proper Valentine's Day date!"

"I see you have your priorities straight."

"Always. I even know a spot nearby where we can have a quickie if you want."

"It's a too cold for a quickie!"

"I didn't say it was outside!"

"We don't have to do anything Mikey, I promise I don't mind. I just want you to be all right."

"Again with the wounding. This is the day of love, my love! As soon as you're ready we're going out for a day of good times only."

********************

The table was indeed lonely and quiet, which suited them both perfectly. He coudn't even see anyone else and it allowed him to snuggle up to her affectionately without distraction and she was free to do the same.

They were there for at least an hour, lingering with conversation that never seemed to run out or get old. After a few glasses of wine and a delightful three course meal they burst out laughing over the the fact that they would definitely rather be doing something else.

"Well we checked this box. Not nearly as great as I thought it would be but I had a damn nice time." He giggled.

"It was really nice Mikey" she laughed. "It's not exactly the center of the multiverse or any of the other wild things you've taken me to do but it was fun."

"I have fun every minute I'm with you."

"You are literally always with me Mikey."

"And I'm always having fun. Do you want to…" He was interrupted by his phone buzzing in his pocket. He'd ignored it a few times, but when it rang for a 5th time within a couple of minutes he decided to check. He pulled it out and put it on speaker.

"Mikey. Shit about time! There is something really wrong here. One of them things, at least one, I think is headin' topside."

"Where?" Shadow asked.

"Still at dinner? We lost it not too far from there, a few blocks north. I think. Too big to get through a manhole but fuck it can probably just break through the damn street."

"A'ight. We're on it bro."

"That's not all Mike" Leo took the phone. "Something else is going on. Renoir and Donnie are acting strange. This isn't good. I'm going to go back and check on them. Raph will meet you topside. Call Casey. I'm calling in the Foot. I think we're going to need everyone."

Mikey hung up and stood, Shadow right behind him. He waited next to the table and grinned at her. "Maybe this is more like it. Care to do the honors?" He held out his arms.

It was hard to not simply run out the door, but dammit, it was Valentine's. Shadow reached up to unbutton his collar, then the rest of his shirt. There was always a few seconds to undress him, and it still felt like an hour's worth of foreplay. Once he was sufficiently undressed, a telltale sign to the public that there was trouble afoot, he kissed her. "I'll see you on the other side."

She took his clothes and set them on the seat of their table. "I don't like it when you say it that way."

"I'll see you when I get home from work?"

"I'll see you after you kick that things ass."

He tucked his phone into his belt, winked at her, and sprinted out of the restaurant. Shadow followed suit, starting that process of instructing people what to do and where to go in case a fight came nearby.
