A/N: I own nothing. My second venture out of Narnia. My first TMNT fic. Be nice.
Master Splinter stared in shock at the slightly crinkled paper in his hand. His assignment had been to write a poem about one of their brothers. He still couldn't believe his carefree, youngest son had written this.
Always
Though you taunt me and tease me
I'll always wanna be like you
Though you push me away
I'll always defend you
Though you punch me or kick or threaten to kill me
I'll always hold your hand when you're hurting
I'll always, always stand by you.
Because we played together
Because we ate together
Because I can see love in your eyes, behind the rage
Because of extra pizza that you 'didn't want'
Because of extra toys you'd outgrown
Because of a reassuring hand on a stormy night
Because when you're here, I know everything'll be alright
I'll always love you, Raph.
A/N: This is dedicated and was inspired by my next door neighbors, no matter what the elder brother does to the younger brother, the younger brother smiles and takes it, and is always ready to hug and play. I thought that was a lot like Raph and Mikey may have been as kids.
