Disclaimer: I don't own the turtles
' Midnight patrol in the rain sucks.' Mikey thought miserably as he raced after his brothers on the rooftops of New York, New York. His feet pounded in a steady pace, splashing slightly threw the puddleing rain water on the roofs. He sniffled with every step he took. ' Especially when I'm not feeling my best.'
All day Mikey had just felt worn down. The small tickle in the back of his throat wasn't helping either. He knew he was definatly coming down with somthing, and now, he deeply regreted his decision to go on patrol anyways. He could have just told his brothers and spent the night in his warm, cozy bed.
Mikey let out a yawn at the thought of his bed. Sleeping sounded so much better than being out in the rain miserable, cold, and sick.
" Hey Mike," Raph taunted from in front of him. " Who was saying they were the fastest the other day? " Mikey, for once, was bringing up the rear in the group. His pace was definatly slowing down. " We ain't goin too fast for youare we Mike? "
Mikey sniffled. " In your dreams Raphie-boy."
The brothers slowed to a stop at the ledge of a building. " It doesn't seem like much is happening tonight." Leo stated looking down at the street.
" The Foot and Purple Dragons have been lying pretty low." Don agreed.
Mikey cut in with a dramatic yawn.
" Getting tired Mikey? " Don asked.
Mikey's eyes drooped lazily. " Jus' a little." He yawned again and shivered.
Don chuckled and Leo walked over, putting his hand on his brother's shell. Mikey shivered again at Leo's touch.
"Seems like you're getting a little chilly too Mike." Leo said looking at his little brother's tired and shivery form. "Let's head home."
After getting home, the turtles took turns taking hot showers before bed. Being the youngest, Mikey was always last for shower time.
Thankfully, Leo was courtius and had taken his very quickly. Raph was taking a little longer, so Mike and Donnie were left to sit in the kitchen, wrapped up in towels, waiting for their shower time. "Raph's totally useing all the hot water." Mikey grumbled with a sniffle. He pulled the towel tighter around himself.
"Come on Mike," Donnie said patting him on the shell. "It hasn't been that long. There will be enough hot water for the both of us." Don felt his brother's shiver violently. He frowned slightly as he rubbed his brother's shell. Mikey had been sniffiling constantly all night. That and Mikey's shivering made Don wonder if the rain and cold was getting to Mikey.
"You can have the next shower if you want Mikey." Don offered.
His brothers looked at him skeptically. " Really Donnie?"
Don smiled at him lightly. "Sure it won't kill me to go last one time."
Mikey smiled back "Thanks Don."
So the end of chapter one. It would be longer but I still don't know what I'm doing. I'll probably make them longer once I get into the swing of things.
