Hello readers of Raph's Babe! Terribly sorry for my absence, but summers just starting and things are crazy! Hope this song drabble makes up for it! It's to Battlefield by Jordin Sparks! Enjoy!
Battlefield
You walk around the empty lair for a bit. The guys had gone out for patrol and Master Splinter was locked up in his room. You waited for them to get back so you all could start your horror movie marathon. You slowly make your way to the dojo and start looking around. In the corner you spot Raph's beaten punching bag lying on the floor. A couple of days ago, he got so mad he actually punched it off the hook and onto the floor. He didn't pick it up either, so there it sat.
Don't try to explain your mind; I know what's happening here
One minute its love and suddenly it's like a battlefield
One word turns into a…
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you don't…
I'm not here without a shield
Can't go back now
You go over to it and set it up carefully. You see hand indentions from Raph's fists and places where Donny has stitched it up multiple times. You sigh and shake your head. Why is it you can't get him out of your head? Yet ever since the night he took you on a ride, he's been avoiding you like you have some kind of disease.
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
Why we gotta fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
Ya know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what were fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like…
But you haven't been any better. You avoid him because he's avoiding you. Most days when you come to the lair, you stay in the lab with Donny or watch a movie with Mikey. If Raphael even enters the room, you don't acknowledge his existence. You don't want him to know that on the inside it's killing you that he won't talk to you. Raph's not the kind to like weak girls.
Can't swallow our pride, neither of us wanna raise that flag
If we can't surrender then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no
Both hands tied behind my back for nothing, oh no
These times when we climb so fast to fall again
I don't wanna fall for it now
I never meant to start a war
Ya know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what were fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
You pull up the punching bag and set it back on its hook. After a while of just staring at it, you go and grab the gloves and slide them on your hands. You go back over and start beating the punching bag to clear your mind. That's one of the habits Raph has that you caught onto.
Guess you better go and get your armor, get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor, get your armor
I guess you better go and get your…
We could pretend that we are friends tonight, oh
And in the morning we'd wake up and we'd be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
You don't even know why you both are avoiding each other. So what you accidently fell on him? It was his fault anyway. Besides if he even liked you, he wouldn't have minded. That's what made you conflicted with yourself. If he DID like you, he wouldn't be acting the way he is.
Guess you better go and get your armor
I never meant to start a war
Ya know I never wanna hurt you
Don't even know what were fighting for
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
You feel like you're at war with yourself, Raph, and everybody. Somehow, you feel alone. Like it's you against the world. Why is love so difficult?
Guess you better go and get your armor, get your armor
I guess you better go and get your armor, get your armor
Why does love always feel like…
Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what were fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what were fighting for
"Hey, [Y/N]?" Someone yells. You toss the gloves off your hands and head out of the dojo, flipping the light off as you go.
"Here!" You yell and wave at the guys.
"Were you practicing in the dojo?" Mikey asks.
"For a while. I got bored." You shrug.
"Ready for the movie marathon?" Donny asks.
"Yeah." You smile. You stiffen as you feel Raph's gaze on you. "Let's go." You say, and start walking away.
My gosh! Poor you, feeling conflicted with yourself! Hopefully things will lighten up soon! Don't forget to send me your ideas, my awesome readers! I would love to put your idea in the story!
As always, thanks to my readers and big thanks to my reviewers, mr nice puppy, Giai Kame, turtlegirls16, and I Love Kittens too!
Love,
