Chapter One-The Beginning
(Mikeys POV)
I smiled as I ran through the sewers as my brothers and sister tried to catch me. I had to coax them out of the lair, because things were getting tense. Donnie was getting addicted to his electronics, Raph was getting pissed of easier, Andy was getting addicted to her video games, and Leo was watching too much of his show. I specifically wanted Raph to follow me; I needed to get him alone. And then, a thought struck my fourteen-year old mind. Only he knew my best hiding place; I showed him where it was so if he needed anything while I wasn't in the lair and was thinking in the sewers he could come get me.

I smirked as I turned into a small aclove, that was not noticable in the slightest; I only knew about it because I roam the sewers while my brothers are asleep. I watched from the shadows as they ran past. I had to go the opposite way, the way I came, to get to my place. I watched as they left my eyesight and earsight, and smiled. I ran out of my aclove, to the direction I came.

Within ten minutes, I found the hidden door. I managed to use any smarts I had to construct the security here. I was way smarter than my brothers thought I was. I was almost as smart as Donnie! I knew things only Donnie knew that my other older brothers didn't know. I actually read Donnie's journal when my brothers are asleep; I take it to my place and read that day's entry.

As I pulled the pipe that open the electronic lock, I smiled. The security here was pretty cool, and only Raph and I knew how to get past it. As I put in the code, and pressed enter, I wondered if Donnie would be able to find this place. I let that thought go away as the door opened, and I walked in. I pulled the door down behind me, and turned. The place was awesome.

It wasn't much of home, but it was more of a longing area. I had managed to get a couch and a couple of beanbag chairs from the junkyard connected to the sewers. I also managed to find a working TV, and hooked it up. I also created my own waterfall against the wall, and also had a skating ramp. Along with that, I had my own area to have dance parties and to practice katas. I smiled as I went over, and pressed play to start the music. The song that started playing was Everything I Ask For. I couldn't remember who it was by, but I still let it play. I turned it up high, and took out my nunchucks. I then started practicing my katas.

A few minutes later, I heard the door opened, and the sound of footsteps. I stopped my katas and turned to face my hotheaded brother, and my four-year crush. Yes, I had a crush on my own brother. I know some people would think it's wrong, but to be honest, I am actually in love with my brother. I didn't ever have the courage to tell him, but I promised myself that I would do it today.

Raph crossed his arm, giving me his pissed-off look. "Okay, bonehead. Why did ya come here? You only come here if you're thinking or you need to tell me somethin'. What's up?" He asks. I don't mind him calling me bonehead; I know that is how he shows affection towards me or any of us, to be honest. I smiled.

"Raph, I need to talk to you about something." I motioned for him to sit on the couch, and he did. I sat next to him and face him. "I hope this doesn't ruin our closeness, though I think it will but... Raph, I have to tell you something." He raised an eyebrow, but told me to continue. "The past four, almost five, years, I have had a bit of a problem." I rubbed the back of my neck nervously. "I've had to deal with something that you'd probably be disgusted with. Raph..." I looked him in the eye. "I love you."

(Raph's POV)
"I love you."

I sighed mentally. I wish he knew that I knew he only meant it as a brother. I wish he meant it as more. I mean, I have been crushing on him big time for the past four, almost five, years. I mean, I know it's supposed to be wrong, but I can't help being in love with my youngest brother. And I mean in love. I automatically said "I love ya too."

"That's not what I meant Raph." He shook his head. I gave Mikey a confused look, and the next thing I know, his lips are on mine. My eyes are wide for a second, before I am able to process what's going on. When it's finally processed, Mikey goes to break the kiss. But I close my eyes, cup his face, and stop him before he breaks the kiss. I can sense surprise, but soon we're in tune, kissing.

After a few seconds, I broke the kiss, and put our foreheads together. "Mikey, I never thought you would love me back. The past four years, almost five to be honest, I have wanted you to be mine. All these years of pure torture you've put me through, Mike. I love you too, Bonehead. Will you be my boyfriend and mate?"

I watched as he smiled. "Of course!" He was smiling more brightly then ever, but it faltered after a few seconds. "Raphie, what will the others think of this?" I could tell he was worried, but I had this all covered.

I smiled at my mate. "Everyone else knew that I had loved you; apparently it was obvious. So they said that if I end up making you my mate, they will support us all the way. Trust me, babe; I have figured this all out." I watched as Mikey's smile came back, and he kissed me again. I kissed him back, love pouring into the kiss.

(Mikeys POV)
A little while later, Raph and I were walking back to the lair, hand in hand. I was happy; I had finally gotten together with my long time crush. It was a dream come true! I looked over to my mate; after all these years of pure torture of trying not to reveal my secret, I had finally revealed it, and had become happy because of it.

When we walked into the lair, everyone was waiting for us. I smiled at them all, and it took them a minute to register that Raph and I were holding hands. When they processed it, they ran over to us, hugging us. I smiled when Andy came over though; she had given me the boost of confidence I needed to tell Raph I loved him.

"Good job, Prankie. You did good. I am so proud of you, Big Brother." And with that, we hugged. It lasted a couple minutes, as she kept saying how proud she was. And then she said she was gonna reveal her secret. I responded by telling her I was right here. She left the hug, and turned to the family. "Okay, I have something to confess." Everyone looked at her in curiosity. "I'm homosexual. I am a lesbian, which means I am attracted to girls." She said this nervously, but no one looked shocked.

"We kinda figured. I mean, it was obvious; you only look at girls on TV. Kinda made it a bit oblivious, Andy." Donnie answered. Everyone agreed, and Andy cursed under her breath. I giggled, and Donnie cleared his throat. "I also have a confession, along with Leo." I raised an eyebrow. "We've been in a relationship for about a month now, but have hiding it."

I looked at them, shocked. I never expected this; I mean, I expected it with Andy, because like Donnie said, it was obvious. But with Leo and Donnie... What the hell? I soon stopped being shocked, and put on my signature smile, jumping onto the young couple. "Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you two! Holy shell I never expected any of this! You guys soooooo shocked me!"

And that is how our story began.
