This is a Raph x Mikey fic. Human AU. It has the sort of family hatred like Romeo and Juliet but instead of family, it's break dancing crews.
I'm only using some scenes from Shakespeare play, so don't expect it to be just like the play or exactly like Ninja Turtles.
Ok, enjoy
"Hey Leo," Casey caught up to the blue clad teen.
"Hey Casey," they clasped hands and hugged. The other teen was dressed in a simple white tank top with dark blue basketball shorts and black sneakers. His shaggy black hair swept to one side, just barely brushing over his dark blue eyes with a baseball cap worn backwards.
They were on their way to go see Leo's brother Raph. Their break dancing crew, the Montague's, was going to a dance battle tonight. The main reason that their crew is going is because the Capulet's, their main rival are going.
Raph wasn't feeling to well on account that he pulled a muscle but his best friend and brother thought they would still check if he wanted to go. Of course, the red loving teen hated being on the side lines.
They entered the Hamato house, seeing Leo's and Raph's older father, Yoshi, or Splinter, sitting at the kitchen table. Their house was simple, a three bed room with two baths. It was neat and orderly, except for Raph's room, and decorated with accent Japanese décor. The basement was where the Hamato brothers practiced break dancing and trained in the ways of ninja from their father.
"Hey Mr. H, how Raph?" Casey asked. The old Japanese man greeted the teen with a smile, after setting his mug of tea down. Splinter has grey short hair with small dark eyes and a thin beard from his chin. He wore a simple long red Japanese style robe, with a cane by his side.
"Good evening Casey. Sadly, Rapheal's leg is still sore and he has pulled a muscle."
"Were going to the dance battle tonight, do you think Raph still wants to go?" Leo asked, sitting down at the table across from his father.
"Yeah, I'll still go," said teen made himself known. He stood in the doorway, holding his bicep that he pulled. He wore a dark t shirt, tightening around his muscles, with baggy ripped shorts. He wore a red bandana around his head, covering his dark brown short hair. His electric green eye stood out from the dark outfit.
"But I ain't gonna be happy about it," he grumbled.
"Try and enjoy yourself Rapheal. Maybe, you will learn something from the side lines," Splinter said.
"We'll be back later dad," Leo said.
"Later.
"Be safe my sons."
The thing about the Capulet crew is that Leo and Raph haven't really seen one of them. Sure, they knew that the gang's hated each other, but it started so long ago, way before the Hamato brother's joined. Raph, Leo and Casey were brought into the gang only about three years ago. But, they've still never ran in to a Capulet member, surprisingly. The fights that they've heard about always happened when they were in school, seeing as how the majority of the members were graduates, or drop outs.
Splinter knew his sons kept out of trouble and tried to stay out of drama without compromising their loyalty, but he still worried, despite their ninja training. It was just what a father does.
The boys met up with some more members of their crew, Raph's main friend, Slash.
"Hey man," Raph smiled, clapping him on the back. Slash, named Spike, was a large teen that dropped out of high school a year ago. He had a shaven head with a black stocking hat, and dark grey eyes. He wore a dark shorts and shirt, even from his size it was still baggy.
"Yo Raph, I thought you pulled you muscle?" two more of the Montague members showed up, Benvolio and Mercutio.
"Yeah, he's just sitting out today though," Leo said for him.
"That bites man, the first time you could've been up against some Capu-lames," Mercutio chuckled.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever, let's just get this over with," they entered the 'battle ground'. It was just an empty warehouse with teens and young adults everywhere. Some on the upper levels, some around the padded ring where two crews were getting ready to dance now.
"Yo Leo!"
"Ca-seeey! Slash, Ben, Mercutio, get your asses up here!"
Leo patted Raph in the shoulder as the rest joined them up on the stage. Raph scowled as he went to sulk in a corner. The ring master, who made sure that things didn't get out of hand, announced that the Montague crew won after a good 10 minuets. Raph was getting bored after they won against another crew until they announced that The Montague's and Capulet's were finally facing each other.
Raph straighten up, seeing how the crowd was getting excited. He moved his way up to get a better look. The ringmaster was going through the rules again before the buzzer went off, starting the booming music.
Raph's crew was first, going in awesome sync, with Leo, Casey and Slash up front. The rest of them backed up for Leo who rolled into his back before jumping back up onto his feet with ease.
Then, a lanky teen with short dark hair and bright brown eyes stepped up. Though Raph couldn't get a clear picture of him, he had a small tooth gap, and wore a tight sleeveless top with baggy shorts and a purple arm band. The Hamoto brother's thought that the taller teen looked familiar. The tall dancer pulled a few jackhammers, which turned into deadman float and to top it off, a flare. Raph smirked, looking over at Leo who, he could tell was a little mesmerized.
Slash stepped up, doing a few of his moves, before the Capulet's moved him off doing a key synchronicity. A few more sole dances were done but non compared to the one Raph watched, that made his mouth hang open. It was bad enough that the small teen was doing one handed flares and 2000's without breaking a sweat, it was that even with out the crazy moves he was mesmerizing. He had shaggy brown hair with impossibly wide and beautiful baby blue eyes. Freckles across his face with a tiny smile as though he couldn't help it. He wore a large t-shirt over a long sleeve shirt with baggy jeans and an orange bandana around his neck.
After the teens sole dance, he was so caught up in it, he didn't even realize where he was and took him a minuet to get back into sync with his crew. Raph looked around and asked the boy next to him, "Hey, who was that?"
"That? That was Michelangelo Leather, Mikey. Ey, aint you a Montague? Why do you care?"
"Mikey," Raph whispered, feeling it bounce off his tongue. No one heard him anyway, due to the loud music. That's when he realized, Mikey, and that taller dancer were childhood friends of his and Leo's. He couldn't remember Mikey's brother name at the time, but he sure did remember Mikey. Shit, Raph swore, scolding himself for even thinking about the rival crew. Raph didn't listen to see who won, he'd heard about it from his friends and brother anyway. He also didn't really pay attention when Leo walked up to him, talking to him though he didn't hear.
"Hey, Raph, are you listening?"
"What? Oh, no, what's up?"
"I was talking about those two dancers. Remember those two childhood friends of ours? That taller dancer was Donnie, and his little bro, is-"
"Mikey."
"Yeah…" Leo wondered how Raph remembered when he didn't. The older Hamoto brother raised an eye brow at his brother who avoided his gaze. He hummed to himself in thought.
I don't know a lot about break dancing, I just looked these up. So if someone knows some rules or whatever, they would be most helpful.
Thanks, WolfKid
