Italics are Raph's thoughts.

I know Mikey and I fight a lot, but this time, I almost killed him. Literally. I didn't mean to. Sometimes I just let my anger issues get to me in a way that I take it out on someone that means a lot to me. Yes, Mikey does mean a lot to me. He's my bro, y'know?

"Raphael, STOP!" Donnie said, pulling me back, away from Mikey's face.

"What the hell are you doing?" Leo looked at me in anger "TRYING TO KILL YOUR BROTHER?"

Master Splinter looked over at Mikey, then at me. "I do not know what is your problem, Raphael."

"There's nothin' wrong with me, Sensei!" I sighed "He wouldn't stop botherin' me!"

Leo grabbed me by my neck, pulling me against the wall. "And does that mean that you're gonna beat him to death?"

"Leonardo, let go of your brother." Master Splinter said.

Leo let go of me, while I growled at him. "I need some fresh air." I ran outside the lair, wanting to cry hard. What is wrong with me?

I ran over to April's, looking for Casey.

"Hey, Raph" April smiled while she opened the door "Looking for Casey, aren't cha?"

I nodded. "Come on in!" April offered. I walked in, looking around to see if Casey was somewhere to be seen.

"Sit down. I'll tell him you're here."

I sat down, looking down at my feet. I was thinking about what I did to Mikey. Why? I asked myself. Why did I do that? Gosh I just hate myself sometimes.

"Hey, bro!" Casey said while walking up to me "What you doin' here?"

"I came to talk to you...about something that happened back at the lair."

"What happened, Raph?" Casey asked, looking at me in confusion.

I sighed deeply, "Mikey was botherin' the hell outta me. It was getting' into my nerves. Y'know what happens when somebody or somethin' gets on my nerves"

"You didn't, Raphael!"

"Yes," I nodded. "I did. A-And I didn't mean ANYTHING. I swear. I love Mikey, but he just sometimes gets into my nerves."

"Dude, he gets into everybody's nerves" Casey said.

I sighed again, "I know. I know."

"Wanna go get somethin' to eat? I'm starvin'." Casey suggested.

"Pizza?" I smiled at his suggestion.

"You got it, bro!"

Casey and I walked out of the apartment, in search of a pizza parlor.

"Okay. We've got tons of choices. But…" Casey looked at me.

"Yeah, I know." I chuckled. "I got it all covered."

I ran over to a dark alley, and changed into human clothes.

"See?" I said, walking up to Casey "Told ya I had it covered"

Casey laughed, "You're good. C'mon…Pizza Hut, or?"

"I'm gonna go with Domino's. It kinda reminds me of Donnie."

Casey laughed again, at my lame joke. "I'll treat ya."

"No way, dude." I said. "You buy, I pay."

"No. I'll treat ya. I said it first." Casey said, while putting his hands on his pockets.

"Fine," I said "Let's go."

As we walked into Domino's Pizza, a couple of familiar faces starred at us. I didn't bother to stare back, 'cause I was not in the mood to be fightin' because of what happened earlier back in the lair.

"Peperoni?"

I nodded. The scenes from the fight with Mikey and I ran over my head like if they were some famous music video on YouTube that always got stuck in your head. Why am I such a jerk? Why did I do that? What is wrong with you, Raphael. You didn't mean to hurt your little brother. He's just young. But you are too. You both have lots to learn, you just wanna be like Leo.

"Okay, dimwit. Wanna talk about it?" Casey asked as he sat down in front of me.

"Not really. I mean—I love Mikey…he's just…" I sighed deeply, looking at Casey.

My shell cell rang. "Hello?" I asked.

"Yeah, hey Raph." It was Donny. "Mikey kinda wanted to apologize for getting into your nerves."

"Chill, bro. It's me who is supposed to apologize. I'll be home in an hour or so to apologize, okay?"

"Okay. I'll see you then." I hung up. By the time I did that, the pizza was already here. I grabbed a slice, and started eating.

"This is heaven, man. I swear!" Casey said as he took a bite off his pizza.

"I know what you mean." I chuckled while taking another bite off my pizza.

"Y'know what I think?" Casey asked.

"What?"

"That you and Mikey are pretty close. So close that one day you'll end up killing each other, like best friends do." Casey said.

"But, we're best friends and we're still alive." I said, taking a sip from my drink.

"You know what I mean, Raph."

Indeed I do, Casey Jones, indeed I do.

30 minutes later we finished eating, and Casey payed the bill. As we walked down the cold, dark street of New York, I looked behind me.

"Casey, we've got company." I took off my weapons.

"Oh, this is gonna be good!" Casey said while putting on his mask, and taking off his hockey stick.

A couple of punks came up to us, tryin' to beat us up. It was pretty easy to beat their sorry butt, 'cause they were tryin' too hard.

"That was easy." Casey said chuckling.

"Too easy." I said, looking around to see if there were more of them.

"Hello?" Casey said, talking to somebody on his phone. "Oh, hey baby."

April.

"Yeah, babe. I'm down here with Raph." Casey smiled. "We'll be home in no time, babe. Don't worry."

We kept walking down the street, until we reached Casey's.

"You sure you're gonna be fine, bro?"

"Yeah," I nodded "I'll be fine."

Not really. I won't be fine. I'll be broken into a million pieces if I won't sort this out.

I watched as Casey went inside his apartment, leaving me behind.

I sighed, and took off my clothes.

I'm sorry, Mikey.

Just a random thing I came up with. As you can see, I love Raphael. He's my favorite character. Anyways, I hope you liked this one. Reviews will be appreciated. Oh, and questions too. (:
