Hey everyone! I wanted to start something different. It's fun to imagine the turtles as children and I love making head canons with fellow fans. So I decided to create a series of drabbles. I know that I usually write fanfics revolving mainly around Donnie, however I promise that each little story will have a bit of each turtle. Also, I'm not abandoning Back into the City. I just took a small break from it and I'll probably update that sometime soon. Well anways, I hope you all enjoy this and I'll try to add some stories to this as time goes on. Happy Reading!

Each little step Donatello took echoed throughout the dark tunnels. Only six years-old, he hadn't quite fully mastered the element of stealth yet, so the pitter patter of steps bounced off the walls. It was dark in the sewers; however, his eyes were used to it, being raised in those conditions and all. Straining his ears, he tried to listen for a series of giggles.

He was it.

His brothers insisted that they played a game. Donnie was eager to, however he wasn't happy with being it. He was always it. Hide and seek, or tag, whatever the game may be, he was always it. This time they brought their game of hide and seek into the tunnels, instead of their lair. Master Splinter said it was alright, as long as they didn't go far.

"Guys…This isn't funny!" Whining, his voice quivered.

"We went too far! Are you guys trying to scare me?" Biting his lower lip, Donnie wanted to curl into his shell.

Laughter sounded and a small series of light pounding echoed in his ears. Feeling angry, Don clenched his fists and ran after the other little turtles. He had enough of this game. Seeing a turn up ahead, he heard one of his brothers run to it.

"Hah! Found y-"

Being cut off from his sentence, he was knocked to the ground. "Uwah!"

Michelangelo's snickering rang in his ears as he watched Raphael pin him down. Raph was heavier than him, so he used it against him and held him in a lock.

"Stop it! Get off of me!" Whining, he tried to fight his brother's grip.

Trying to hold back his tears, he hated it when the older turtle picked on him. He normally expected this kind of prank from Mikey, but this time Raph went too far.

"I said...Get. Off. Of. Me!" Mustering up his strength, he threw Raph off his shell.

Quickly standing up, Donnie slammed on top of Raph making him grunt out in pain. Using his strength, he shoved him down. When Raph hit the ground, he landed on some stones that had been there for years. A loud crack sounded in Donnie's ears and Raph cried out in pain.

"Ow! My Shell!" Crying out, Raph tried to hold back tears. He was only six years-old.

"Hey, what happened? Are you okay, Raph?" Leo's loud voice of panic rang throughout the dark tunnel.

Realizing what he had done, Donatello quickly stood up and stared at his hands. He had never gotten so angry before.

Stammering, Donnie's tears started to flow. "Raph…I'm sorry. I- I – I didn't meant to!"

Mikey stood there, watching. He didn't move or say a word. Seeing Donnie's fit of rage scared him and he didn't know how to cope with what he just saw. Donnie tried to help his brother up, but Leo rushed over and pushed him aside.

"Go home and get Sensei!" Leo ordered him, while glaring at him. "Also, take Mikey with you!"

Grabbing his little brother's hand, Donnie ran with him as fast as his little legs could go. "I hurt him." Donnie whispered to himself, over and over. Gripping Mikey's hand harder, he heard a light "Ow!"

Gasping, he let go of his hand and stared at his hands once more. Turning away from Mikey, he kept running home. He wanted to go to lock himself up in his room and never come out again. As he reached the lair, Master Splinter had been standing there, stroking his beard.

He saw Donnie's face wet with tears and snot. "What's wrong my son? Did your older brothers pick on you again?"

At the mention of his older brother, Donnie's face scrunched up as he began to sob. "Sensei, I hurt Raph! He's hurt and it's my fault!"

At the mention of his son of his son's in trouble, Master Splinter's eyes widen and he drew a hard stern. "Where is he?"

After Donatello told him where they had been, Master Splinter wasn't surprised. He had stood there waiting, because he had a feeling his son's would have disobeyed him. Instead of lecturing however, he commanded for Don to wait right there and rushed off passed Mikey to find his other two boys.

Minutes passed, as Master Splinter returned with Raph in his arms and Leo on his back. Donnie tried to fight back tears as he saw some blood from Raph's plastron.

Noticing Donnie, he gave a heavy sigh and said "He'll be okay. It's not life threatening, his shell is cracked, but it'll heal." Softening his expression, he added "I'll go bandage him up. You can go to your room to calm down."

Without a word, Donnie nodded and took off towards his room. Once he was inside, he slammed the door shut behind him. Slumping down to the ground with his shell to the door, Donnie buried his face in his hands and began to bawl.

Hours passed and there was a slight knock on the door. Donnie curled up under his blanket even more. Again, another knock sounded, but this time Raphael's faint voice could be heard.

"Donnie, can I come in?"

"Mhm." Was all he could manage.

The door creaked as Raph opened it. "Sensei said I should talk to you."

Leaving the door open, Raph walked over to the bed. "I'm not mad at you. Sensei told me how upset you were."

"Uh huh." Sniffling slightly, Donnie replied.

"I know I bully you a lot. I'm sorry. Sensei said you must've let out all your anger you always have about it" Trying his hardest, the young turtle tried to imitate their father.

Chuckling at Raph's terrible imitation, Donnie came out from inside of his bundle. He saw the bandage around Raph and a hard lump formed in his throat. Noticing this, Raph nudged him. "It's my fault, okay?"

Knowing he wouldn't get anywhere with arguing, Donnie nodded. "Does it hurt?"

"Nope! I'm strong!" Using a cheeky smile, he tried to reassure his little brother.

Slightly laughing, Donnie felt a little better. Raph felt glad when he saw the younger turtle's face lighten up and beckoned him closer. Next thing Donnie knew, Raph was hugging him. After a few awkward seconds, Raph let go and stood up.

"Don't you tell Mikey or Leo, I did that!" Firmly, Raph pointed at Don.

Softly chuckling, he nodded. He also didn't want anyone else to know that.

"Okay. Later!" Raph called out as he left the room.

The Injury healed, but it left a lightning shape gap in Raphael's shell. Donnie felt terrible, but Raph insisted it made him look "cool." However, after that day Raph knew never to go overboard with the bullying towards Donnie.
