Acceptable Risk
Priorities
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, neither characters nor anything pertaining to the franchise. I do own a cat though, so I have that going for me which is nice.
Author's Note: So I've decided to write some shorts (some might not be so short some might be rally short) from the perspective of April/Raph. Originally for the 2012 series Raph was supposed to be in love with April, not Donnie. Since the series presents him as a guy who can't really be honest with his feelings I figured that Raph would be the ultimate tsundere type guy.
Also I'm on tumblr .com. Come follow me if you like. I'm a big turtles fan and sometimes post extra stuff there
This one takes place somewhere between Turtle Temper and New Friend, Old Enemy. They are finally allowed to bring April over to the lair. I figured Raph would want her to see his most important stuff.
"And this is the main CPU it's linked throughout the lair. We had to use a multi-core processor to keep the units from overheating."
"Wow, you used a double loop router which practically eliminates feedback surges. That's brilliant."
"That's nothing you should see what I did with theā¦"
Raph growled slightly, his eyes trained on the television.
Since the moment they had led April into the lair he hadn't had a moment alone with her. Mikey had been first dragging her around, showing off the junk he'd collected on their many dump trips. Then Leo had forced her to sit through three episodes of his stupid space show.
Donnie had been worst of all. He and April had bonded immediately, becoming nerdy science buddies.
At first it had been cute, watching her eyes light up as she chatted animatedly. After two hours Raph was getting antsy, when would it be his turn?
Vaulting out of the pit, Raph stomped over to the pair.
"Hey Donnie, enough with your boring science stuff." Raph placed a hand on Aprils back, shivering slightly at the contact. "Come on April, I'll show ya something cool."
Ignoring the bewildered look Donnie was sending his way, Raph led April towards the kitchen. Pushing aside the cloth hanging he gestured towards the table with pride.
"April this is Spike. Spike, meet April."
The turtle on the table merely chomped serenely at his leaf.
This one was super short. I really loved Raph relationship with Spike and I'm probably going to write something later with Slash. If he thought that Leo, Donnie, and Mikey were holding Raph back how well would he have handled it if Raph had a crush? Probably not well. Anyways thanks for reading and pop a review my way if you want more.
