Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT, just Maya, her pets and a few other characters in the later chapters.
I'm back! And with more RaphxMaya fluffyness! Also, in this story, Mikey gets a girl! Woohoo! This story is 4 all the others that read, reviewed or PMed me in regards to my other TMNT story, 'What Are You?'
On with the story!
Raphael woke up slowly, not really feeling like getting up out of his hammock. One reason was because it was a little cold in his room due to the fact that it had started to snow again. Another reason was because Maya was still asleep in his arms. She was curled up against his plastron, her head resting just under his chin and she was purring a little as her tail twitched. They had been together for about two months now and she started to sleep in the same room as him three weeks ago. Her nightmares had gotten so bad that she was afraid to go to sleep. It was only when Raph was in the same room as her did she have any peaceful nights. Not wanting to see his girlfriend scared, Raph suggested that she move into his room to see if it helped her any, and much to his surprise, it was indeed working.
Looking over at the clock, he saw that he had only half an hour before the morning training. Master Splinter said that Maya was only aloud to join them in the afternoon because she was recovering so slowly and that he didn't want to stress her out to the point of exhaustion. Kissing the top of her head, Raph carefully climbed out of the hammock and tucked in the blankets around Maya. Grabbing his sais, he walked out of his room and quietly closed the door behind him before going to the kitchen for a bowl of cereal.
When Mikey saw him enter the room, he started to bug him right away. " Hey Raphy! How was your sleep with Maya-OW! LEO! RAPH JUST HIT ME!" Mikey whined as he rubbed the spot on the back of his head while Raph grumbled under his breath about what an ideot his brother was.
" You know better than to bug Raph this early in the morning Mikey. Especial if it's about Maya." Leo replied as he finished his breakfast and got up from the table to put his dishes in the sink. However, he had to jump out of the way to avoid being roadkill as Mikey tore out of the kitchen screaming his head off with Raph running after him, a look of anger on his face. " Mikey, what did you say now?!"
" When I get my hands on you Mikey, you're gonna wish you neva even thought that!"
" I'm sorry dude! It just slipped out!"
" HOW DOES SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT SLIP OUT?!?" Raph yelled as he started to gain ground. Luck was on his Raph's side this morning, because while Mikey turned his head slightly to see how close his angry older brother was, Jack walked into the room and right into Mikey's path. He tripped over the dog and went flying right into the pool with a surprised yell. Raph waited until Mikey surfaced before grabbing the back of his shell and dragged him out of the pool. Right before he would have punched his little brother in the face, they heard a door open. They both turned to see a tired Maya wrapped in a blanket and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
" What's with all the noise? It's not even 7:30am yet." She finished rubbing her eyes and gave a little yawn while stretching, causing her shirt she was wearing to ride up and show off her middle. She had put on some weight in the two months she had been living with the guys so she wasn't as skinny as when she first came there but she was still thin. " Raph? What are you doing to Mikey?"
Glaring at his scared brother, Raph shoved him away before walking over to Maya. " Just helping him out of the pool. He wasn't watching where he was going and tripped over Jack. Why don't you go back to sleep? I'll be done with the training in one hour." He placed a hand on her shoulder before kissing her on her forehead.
" I think I'll wait until you're done training before I go back to sleep...Where's Jack?" She looked around the room until she saw Jack curled up in a corner and walked towards him. ' Are you alright Jack? Did Mikey hurt you?' She asked in barks and woofs. Said dog gave a little whimper and licked her hand before lying his head back down. Maya patted Jacks head one more time before turning around and stalked towards Mikey. " You jerk! You hurt his ribs!"
Mikey was at a lost. He had never seem Maya mad before and didn't know what to do. His brothers on the other hand, were enjoying the show.
" So, Raph, what did Mikey do to make Maya so mad?" Donny asked as he continued to watch Maya poke Mikey in his plastron, making him move back towards the pool.
Raph smirked as Mikey took another step towards the pool. One more good poke from Maya and he would be back in the water. " Lets just say that he made a very stupid comment that later involved me chasing him and him hurting the dog." There was suddenly a loud splash followed by a squeal from Maya as water splashed over her lower legs and tail. Hissing at a sputtering Mikey with the fur on her back and shoulders raised, she started to walk back towards the others who were laughing that the expense of Mikey.
" I'm going to go dry off my fur. Let me know when your training starts. I would like to watch this morning. Morning Leo, morning Donny." Maya said as she walked back into Raph's room.
The turtles watched Maya close the door and then went back to what they were doing before. Raph went to get his breakfast, Leo left to meditate for a while before training and Donny went to go check on the dog to make sure that none of his ribs were broken. Mikey waited until Raph was out of the room before climbing out of the pool and ran to his room. The day was starting out bad all because he asked a stupid question. ' So, did you two do it yet?'" Ya, real smart Mikey. Get Raph angry at you first thing in the morning." Mikey said to himself as he closed the door to his room. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to fight Raph this morning, but with the way his luck was going...
It was a good thing Donny got more band-aids last week.
Chapter one is complete! Poor Mikey! He just can't win, can he? Well, until next time people!
Remember: Reading + Reviewing equals one happy Deadly Fangs!
