Oops . . .
AN: First short fic, based on something that happened to me.
Mikey jumped at the sudden bellow from his brother. He turned from the TV, on the floor, to see Leo storm in and glare angrily at him. Mikey crunched on his last pizza crust and swallowed it, staring at his brother, who was staring at him as though expecting Mikey to know why he had bawled his name at the top of his lungs.
Donnie glanced up from his computer to look, eye ridges raised. Mikey only got Leo's voice raised like that when he had done something bad.
Raph peeked behind the door from his bunk bed in his room, his game boy on pause. Leo usually saved his loud tones for himself.
Mikey stared a second longer then raised his eye ridges and lifted his hands in a confused gesture.
"What?" He asked.
"You stole some of my money didn't you?" Leo growled. Two subjects could get him this angry: Raph, and his money being stolen.
"No!" Mikey cried, a look of confused, soft anger on his face. Sometimes when his brothers accuse him of something, he can twist his features into such an adorable face they drop any accusations on him immediately. But this time it was pure surprise and confusion.
"You used it to buy that pizza, didn't you?!" Leo shouted, pointing to the empty pizza box beside Mikey.
"No I didn't, dude." Mikey said seriously. He was never one to take money, maybe for a joke, but not without asking or hinting.
"Yeah, you did because my money has gone and I know for a fact that you don't have any." Leo folded his arms and stared his brother in the eye.
"I swear I didn't take your money!" Mikey got to his feet and stood, standing facing Leo.
"Whoa, whoa, time out here!" Donnie walked in, holding his hands up in the time out signal. "Leo, I gave Mikey the money to get a pizza."
Leo unfolded his arms, his expression changing to surprise. "You did? Then what happened to mine?"
Donnie shrugged and walked into his and Leo's room. "Let's see."
"It's not in there, I looked." Leo argued, raising his voice as his brother walekd away.
"Where did you look?" Donnie asked, ignoring Leo.
Leo sighed and pointed to the mattress. "Under there."
Donnie searched the mattress, pulling up the sheets and lifting up the mattress.
"See?" Leo said, folding his arms again. "Not there."
Raph and Mikey came into the room and Leo turned to giv them a 'get lost' stare. They started grinning at something and Leo turned around back to Donnie, who was grinning and holding up a small wad of notes.
Leo unfoled his arms and took the notes from Donnie. He counted them.
"Under the pillow." Donnie grinned.
Raph grinned and started to laugh at his brother as Mikey smirked.
Leo looked up from his money to his brothers. His expression sheepish and his cheeks red.
"Oops . . ."
