Love
Chapter 1: Yes or No

A/N: I got this idea a long time ago but since it was Valentines Day Wednesday, I thought I would put this up. I haven't heard a story with Mike and Raph in love so I decided to put one up. If there is, I haven't read it as well. All four turtles are paired up in this story and if Raph and Mike are in love, that leaves Leo and Don together. No crazy ideas though. This story probably only has kissing and swearing in it. Nothing deeper than that. I could go any deeper than that and I'm having fun at this level at this level. Dirty thinkers. Now quit thinking dirty and start reading. I didn't type this for my own health you know. If I did, I wouldn't post it.

Disclaim: Why the hell would I want to own them? I don't own or know the TMNT. I'm having fun knowing them this way. It makes every adventure more exciting. Quit thinking dirty!

I know them and yet, I didn't expect what has happened. He was always there for me but I thought just as a friend, never like this. But when he had asked me, I had to think about it. Did I like him as a friend or someone more – something deeper? I loved his as a brother though. God, why does this always happen to me? I never thought that way about any of them, ever. What would the others say though if they found out? What would Sensei say?

Ok, ok. I know. I just need to calm down and just think. But I can't. All I think about is him. It's so frustrating not…knowing. He's a brother to me, not that but I keep thinking about him.

Mike. Oh Mike. I'm so sorry. I never meant to harm you. I just…I didn't know how to deal with my feelings. I see that now. Mike. Do you love me?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can't believe I had asked him. He's…they would…I might…I don't know. Now I'm confused. Now my comic books don't even take my mind off of him. Does he love me? Does he hate me? Does everyone know? Does he even understand? God, this is for Donnie to think of, not me. I'm supposed to be the careless one, not have a care in the world. Why did it have to be him that I had to love? Why not Leo? Or even Donnie? Why did it have to be Raph? Leo's in Japan and Karai has destroyed the Lair. I don't know if the others are ok, if Leo's back or even if I'll see any of them. I wish I knew. I miss Leo…and Raph. I miss Raph a lot. I wish he was here. I really do. He would know what to do or even keep me company but we would probably fight instead. Raph, please love me too. Please find me. Please.

"Meow."

"Hey Klunk. Mike? Mike, wake up."

"Hu? Leo?"

"Hey bro."

"Leo, Karai. The others. I don't know if they're ok."

"It's ok Mike. Donnie and Master Splinter are at our new home."

"What about Raph?"

"I'm going to go search for him when you're safe."

"I'm coming with you."

"No Mike. I need you to stay with Donnie and Master Splinter. I don't want you hurt because of me. Please Mike?"

"Ok."

"Hello?"

"Who's there?"

"Raph?"

"Leo? That you bro?"

"It's me Raph."

"God, am I glad to see you."

"It's good to be home."

"What about the others?"

"I found them already."

"Mike?"

"He's worried about you. I don't think he'll be resting like I had asked."

"Why?"

"I don't know but you could ask him yourself when we get home."

"But the Lair-"

"Was destroyed. I know. Just follow me and you'll see what I mean."

Mike was pacing when Leo and Raph entered the new Lair.

"Raph!"

Mike had sprung towards Raph as soon as he entered but stopped himself before he made a scene. Luckily Don had cried Raph's name at the same time. Raph looked at Mike and Mike looked at his feet, not daring to meet his older brother's eyes.

Raph sighed. He so wanted to tell Mike that he loved him too, thanks to the chance to think, but he was so scared on what Mike's reaction was going to be. Guess he'll have to wait till he had a chance with Mike by himself.

Mike and Raph had gone over to April's where Casey was also at to tell them what had happened. Don thought it was odd for Mike to eagerly volunteer to go with Raph and then Raph to choose Mike. But, times had changed faster than Don could grasp so his attention went back to wiring the servallence cameras.

Up on the roofs, Mike and Raph were walking quietly under the night sky. Mike was looking at the clouds and Raph was looking at his feet. Both had the same thing on their mind. Should I tell him?

"I want to tell you something." Both brothers looked at one another when they both realized they had said it at the same time. Both blushed and looked away but Raph was the first to look back.

"Mike, I…"

Mike looked at his older brother who was looking at his feet where he stood. Mike sighed and walked over to Raph. Biting his lower lip, Mike stepped forward and kissed Raph on the lips. He held it there, waiting for the pain but it never came. Instead, Raph rapped his arms around Mike and pulled him close. Both turtles gave in and both enjoyed it. But, the kiss didn't last long. Mike pulled away and rested his head on Raph's shoulder. Raph rubbed his head against Mike's and started to cry, not from pain but from all the fear leaving. Mike started to cry too and both held each other close, not caring who saw.

Leo smiled from his spot. He had been out shopping and had stopped at the sight of his two brothers.

Bout time they fell in love like that. Now Donnie and I can show that we love each other too, Leo told himself. Don and Leo had been in love for about a year now ever since Leo figured out that he was in love with Don. With that thought, Leo turned and ran home to his lover.

Raph pulled back and wiped the tears from his little lover's face. Mike smiled and he kissed Raph on the cheek before taking Raph's hand and heading home, where they were destined for in the first place. Raph rapped his arms around Mike's waist and walked behind him.

"Do you think that the other's know?"

"I don't really care anymore," Raph said. "Besides, I know that Don and Leo are in love for a while now."

"Really?" Mike asked, not really surprised and resting his head on Raph's shoulder. "That would explain a few things."

"Yeah."

Raph and Mike were silent for the rest of the way and as they stood outside the new Lair door, they kissed once more before walking in, trying to act like there was nothing in-between them.
