Leorai A-Z Challenege

Winter

    Reptiles hate winter. To be more specific, cold-blooded organisms hate winter.
So the four Hamato turtle brothers weren't exactly huge fans of winter season. Although they were mutants, they still possessed a good deal of cold-bloodedness in them; in other words, they were still able to be tortured by the freezing cold weather of winter. In the beginning, Karai didn't truly understand their predicament due to her being then warm-blooded; but now, now that she was part-mutant snake, she completely understood just how horrible winter was to a cold-blooded organism. She thought of this as she was coiled up tightly in her snake-form in her room, a mass of heavy blankets burying her with a whole bed made up of nothing but pillows underneath her. Despite this, she still felt a small chill brush through her scales over and over again. The bedroom door opened and Karai saw her dear friend and right-hand woman Shinigami enter with a pile of thick blankets and pillows overflowing in her arms. "All right, Karai. These are the last blankets and pillows I could find around here." the mystic witch/kunoichi said, tossing the blankets and pillows aside to add to the already formed mountain of other pillows and blankets. "Thank you, Shini." Karai said to her friend. "I can't believe that you could still feel chilly even underneath that mammoth dump of blankets. I'd be sweating like a pig." Shinigami said. Karai looked at her. Shini shook her head. "Sorry. I'm still getting used to the fact that my best friend is now half-snake."
"It's all right. I still appreciate your help, Shini."
      Suddenly, Shinigami smirked mischievously. "I know what'd make you start feeling even warmer. Try thinking about Leo in his Foot Clan uniform!" she teased, throwing in a wink at Karai. Karai's serpentine eyes widened in shock. "Shinigami!" she hissed, feeling annoyed. Shinigami only cackled in joy. "Oh c'mon! He looked hot as Hell in that outfit! I saw how you checked him out." she happily added. Karai narrowed her eyes. "Leo and I are only friends." she said. "Rrrriiiiiigghhhttt. And I'm Angelina Jolie's stunt double." Shini said and rolled her eyes in disbelief at her friend's claim. Karai only shook her head and buried her head underneath the blankets. She didn't want to admit it but Leo did look pretty hot in his Foot Clan uniform. But then again....Leo was hot in general. Wonderful sapphire blue eyes, precious and sometimes sexy smile, a lean yet muscular build, nicely shaped head, husky and handsome voice.....God, how was it legal for someone to be so sexy and so adorable at the same time! On one hand, he was rather brave and organized, responsible, more mature than most boys at their age, fun, and handsome; and on another hand, he was just so freakin' adorkable (adorable/dorky) what with his love for those cartoon shows her and his brothers watched (ex: Space Heroes) and his moments of precious childishness and he was so cute, lovable, sweet, and--

....uuuuuuhhhhhh.....

   The next thing Karai knew, a warm sensation rushed through her long, serpentine body. She realized what happened and buried her face into a pillow in embarrassment. How could she think like that!

Ding!

Karai looked up towards her cell phone. She reached over to pick it up, checking it. She had gotten a text message.......from Leo. Oh, perfect timing. she thought sarcastically. Karai looked at the text and read it:

Hey, Karai! Hope you're feelin' warm and cozy this winter! Better than me and my brothers. We're freezing to death down here. Anyway, hope you're doing good! :)

A smile had spread out across Karai's snout. Another text from Leo appeared. This time, it was a picture. Karai stared at it. The picture was of himself, curled up completely in a mass of blankets that covered his whole self. He was even wearing a blue scarf and a thick wooled beannie cap. Sitting in his lap was steaming hot chocolate in a blue mug with stars, moons, and rocket ships decorating it. Karai snickered. Damn, he's so cute...... she thought as she felt heat consume her again without shame.
