They watched the green eyed turtle play around with Aprils teacher. The turtle wore a pair of jeans that were covered in oil, mud, and grease stains. A large black t-shirt with the Jack Daniels logo on it. And a red bandana around his neck in a 'cowboy' like style. He was trying to get the hoodie back to no prevail. While he clearly was larger and stronger, Mr. Jones was quicker.
" Casey you suck" he stopped to catch his breath, laughing.
" and you sw- April?" Casey's wide eyes had finally noticed the teenager. " what're you doing out this late?"
Then he noticed the other turtles. Recognition flashed in his eyes. He stumbled back and wacked the turtle in the arm.
" ow. dude what the hell?' he looked over as Casey tilted his head to the teenagers.
Upon seeing the turtles his eyes widened. His deep green eyes looked to each one of them. Recognition and, guilt flooded his eyes. His eyes rested on Leo and Donnie before he shut them. He took deep breaths and turned and walked away.
" oi! wait up." Casey jogged after him. Then one last look at April. " chapter 10 is due tomorrow" before disappearing after his friend
"... who was that?" the teenagers all asked before looking at each other.
" he... he seemed familiar" Mikey stated.
" yea. And I'm not sure i like that" Leo sighed
Donnie wasn't sure what to feel. He had a feeling he should know the other turtle, yet he just didn't. He continued to contemplate this as they were now home. The three brothers told Splinter.
" Are you sure?" he seemed shocked.
" Yes father." Leo responded. He was fidgeting around with his space heroes shirt hem.
...
Leo was woken by his brothers peeking into his room. They hadn't been able to sleep. Leo sighed and motioned them over. The turtles snuggled up in a turtle pile. They used to do it a lot when they were tiny tots, but they didn't do it much anymore. They typically only did this when they were upset or really couldn't sleep.
Mikey couldn't help but feel like someone was missing. He felt this every time they did this. Yet he chose not to bother his brothers with this. He swore he remembered bright green eyes like that. They were looking at him with a smile.
...
Mikey was crawling around aimlessly.
" where ya going squirt?" his brother looked down at him and smiled. Scooping him up, he held him close.
Mikey squealed happily and squirmed around. His happy laughs echoed the lair. In his happiness he left a kiss on his cheek.
" yuck. you drool" his brother laughed. He tried to keep a hold on Mikey as he kept wiggling.
...
Mikey and his brothers were scooped up by their older brother. Leo had gasped happily and clung onto him. Their brother tucked them all into his arms, creating a turtle pile. He was warm and the toddlers happily nuzzled into him.
...
Their brother began acting weird. He'd get aggressive and rude. He'd scream in the middle of the night and claw at himself. He'd be home less and less. Mikey missed him and wouldn't leave his side while he was home.
Leo would do the same thing. Donnie on the other hand grew wary of him.
...
Donnie was screaming. Mikey wasn't sure why and was on his way to find out. Suddenly his brother was around the corner and tripped over him. Mikey blinked and looked back. The green eyed brothers gaze snapped to Mikey. He dropped to all fours like an animal and snarled. Then turned and left.
Mikey didn't want him to leave. He cried out.
...
" -aph!" He sat upright in a cold sweat. His gaze looked over to his brothers who were worriedly watching him.
" You were crying...and whimpering." Leo explained. Donnie nodded in agreement.
" Are you alright?" They asked.
" I'm fine" Mikey stated and pulled his knees up to his chest. " I'm fine"
( authors note: this is based off a dream i had. Also the turtles are allowed out and about during the day. They go to school, do all the normal things humans can. They also wear clothes.)
