Know you Now 2

"Raph, time for breakfast dude!" Mikey yelled, banging on Raph's door for a third time.
" heelloo!, come on I kno-"
The door swung open, revealing a very upset looking Raphael.
" Ya, I'm up so get lost, would ya?" Raph growled out, going to close the door when a foot stopped the door from closing.
Mikey had an intense look on his face, which made Raph stop.
"Mike?, whats wrong?" Raph said, opening the door wide and steeping into the hallway.
"It's-its just, eh its not important" Mikey went to turn away, walking towards the stairs.
" Mikey, what is it, huh?...if ya-" Raph stopped himself. He had put his hand on Mikey's shoulder to make him turn around, when he saw the glitter in Mikey's eye which could only mean one thing...
Trouble.
Worse then that. The sparkle, that glitter, it meant a prank.
Not good.
" what are ya up too?" Raph said, scowling down at Mikey.
They were both close to the stairs now, and Raph didn't want to take any chances, backing up Raph slowly inched his way back to his bedroom, his safety.
The grin Raph received from Mikey only confirmed what he thought. There was definitely a prank.
" Nothing dude, meet you down stairs!" Mikey yelled, running quickly down the stairs and strait for the kitchen.
Crud
"Mike! what are ya planning ya little-" Raph stopped mid sentence. looking up only to receive a bucket full of goo." ...ugh"
Wiping the goo from his eyes, Raph made his way down the stairs.
This was going to be a great morning for the red clad turtle.
After washing up in the bath room, Raph made his way into the kitchen, to find Don, Leo , and Mikey all sitting down eating their breakfasts.
Don was reading a news paper with a coffee in hand, slowly turning the pages.
Leo was eating a bowl of fruit with green tea.
And Mikey was eating his sugar filled cereal, that would probably kill him one day, with all the sugar that it held.
So different
Raph walked past his brothers and over to the sink to grab a bowl for his cereal.
Mikey was sitting closest to Leo, not wanting to be to far from the Leader in case a fight broke out.
Sitting down at the table Raph began to eat his cereal.
"Hey Raph, were switching sparring partners today so you get Don." Leo said, looking up to see Raph.
"Ya, kay"
Odd. Leo thought. He had een paying closer attention to Raph lately, not wanting to run into another incedient.
Leo had learned something about his brother that day, a few months ago.
He had not only learned how Raph was needed in the family to really work, but also how much he needed him to really function.
It was funny, really. They spent so much time arguing that anyone else would think they would hate each other. Yet they balanced eachother.
Raph helped him not to think himself perfect and to just make him feel.
While Leo gave Raph a challenge.
"soooo, Raphie-boy? have a nice...uhh shower?" Mikey asked, grinning like a fool, while slowly hiding behind Leo.
" Ya know, Mike? One of these days I'm just gonna not care about yo stupid pranks...then what are ya gonna do?" Raph said, standing up and throwing his bowl in the sink.
Patting Mikey on the shoulder, Raph chuckled at the expression on Mikey's face, then made his way to the dojo.
Back in the kitchen the brother stared dumbfounded.
" Wait...I don't get it..."
"get what, Mikey? maybe he's just not mad"
Mikey stood, sliding his chair back and slapping his hands onto the table.
" Dudes, seriously! I just dumped a huge bucket of-of goo on his head!...He should be yelling and chasin' me!"
It was leo's turn to look serious. " You don't think he's, well, you know going back to that -"
"No"
Leo and Mikey both looked to Don who was staring back at them just as intently.
Don stood up putting his cup in the sink, then turning around to look at his brothers.
" Look...the last time Raph, well you know, he completely isolated himself and everything else." Don looked to his brothers to make sure he still had their attentions. " but this time...he's just...I don't know, he's trying to get past the anger and into something more-more comfortable"
" But whats Raph without the brute anger?" Mikey asked.
"easy..he's Raph"
Mikey, looked over to Leo who had a small smile playing across his lips.
" huh, I guess he's grown up now." Leo looked up, eyes crinkling from his smile.
" ya I guess" Mikey pouted, crossing his arms." But now what can I do with him?"
"not sure" Don answered." I guess will just have to find something new, and see how it will play out."
With everyone in agreance, the brothers left the kitchen to join Raph in the dojo.
