Okay, writer's note: After reading lots and lots of TMNT fanfics, finally decided to write one myself.
Disclaimer: Obviously enough, I don't own any character you've seen in the series. Also, this is based on the 2007 movie.
"He's. Never. Gonna. Forgive. Me." Raphael grunted as he pounded on his punching bag. The whole incident replayed on his mind.
"We got along just fine without you!"
Raph pounded on his punching bag. The muffled sound echoed through the dojo.
"You think the world revolves around you!"
He fell weakly to his knees from physical and mental exhaustion.
"I'm better off calling my own shots! Now get used to it."
Raph hugged his knees while leaning his head against the punching bag. His hand bled from hitting the punching bag too hard.
"I was training, training to be a better leader, for YOU! Why do ya hate me for that?"
Raph let out a muffled sob. His mask was wet from the tears that he'd been tring to hold in for so long now. Suddenly, a hand was placed softly on his shoulder, surprising the red masked turtle who jumped at the touch.
"M-man, Leo, do ya hafta do that?" Raph asked shakily while holding back his tears.
Leo smiled, he didn't say a word as he pulled his brother into a hug. The shocked turtle shook as he returned the embrace.
"Look, Leo, I'm sorry about what happened and I won't blame you if you hate me, it's just that I-I-"
"No, Raph, it wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have said those things." Leo said.
"There ya go again, Fearless!" Raph shouted. Leo released his brother from his grasp and looked at him shocked.
"Ya just hafta take the whole world's burden on ya shoulders, don't you? Can ya stop being so selfless! It was my fault! Can't the fearless leader accept for once that it was…my...fault?" Raph asked. He pulled his sai out of his belt and pointed it at Leo.
"You are so smug, ya know that?"
That was how it happened. Raph losing his temper, than threatening his brother with his sais. Raph immediately dropped his weapons. The two sais clattered as they hit the floor. Leo stared at him wide-eyed. What he just said. It sounded too familiar for him.
"L-leo…I-I'm sorry…" he stammered before running to his room, holding back tears.
"Raph, wait!" Leo called out from the dojo
Raph slammed his room door shut and leaned against the door. There, he sought comfort from the darkness of his room. A minute passed before raphe heard a knock on his door. Was it really a minute or just a few seconds? He couldn't tell.
The knocking came again, this time accompanied by a soft voice. "Raph? Can I come in?" Leo asked.
I forgot how to put in lines so I'm using ~ to replace the lines people use to separate author's note from the story. Anyways, review, hope you liked it! (sorry it's short, but I've gotta go)
-Peace out, Jas
