She was so not buying that, and it was clear in her expression. A sudden thread of rebellion lit in her, and she lifted her chin indignantly. "You know, I don't see why if you and Mikey can boff half the bar, I can't get laid every once in a blue moon."
"When you get laid as often as I do, four people seems like a lot," she pointed out with a pout. Why wasn't she more angry? She should be mad! It was all his fault she'd bought stock in Duracell, after all.
"That's not what I was talking about. I was talking about not wanting to share." She wasn't upset. Should have been, maybe, but then she'd have been a hypocrite.
How he ever would have expected her to not be in love with him after so many years of this same song and dance was beyond her. Perhaps he hadn't intended it, but then again, perhaps he had, on some subconscious level. As a means to an end, it was a bonafide guarantee that she'd never leave him. Regardless, it was always the same, and while the others did it, too, he was always the worst. And she always relished it, in her own secret way.
To say that April was blushing would have been a massive understatement. She was positively scarlet.
"No," she managed, and her head was back in her hands again. "That's not what I'm talking about. I know that we were talking about it before, and that it is kinda why we were talking about this in the first place, but can we please forget about it for a minute? Because you're missing my point."
God, she wanted to die. Funny how all of her apparent sexual finesse was reduced to the awkward flailing of a preteen when she was around him. She just didn't want to think about sex and Raph in the same context, ever. Made her aware of things she thought best left ignored.
*Raph might have taken some comfort in her full blush, where he making any sort of eyecontact with her at all...which he wasn't. What he was doing was trying to figure out if removing a limb would get him out of this conversation, and if so...which limb.*
"No." She knew that much for sure. It couldn't possibly get any worse. "Do you remember that talk we had, about not liking to share?" She cut him a sideways glance, peering through her fingers.
"I'm talking about you and your double-standard, Mister, that's what I'm talking about! How possessive you get, and don't even try and deny it! If I even show interest in anyone other than Casey, you make it a personal goal to emotionally scar the guy!"
Ah, Raph logic. Completely insane and yet unarguable. He was every bit as stubborn as she was.
"It's for his own good that you scare him witless?" April sighed, conflicted. On one hand, he was completely frustrating. On the other, he was doing precisely what she wanted. "I'm not this territorial with you."

Not love. Love is different. Love, you get. They can't have that.
