Haven't updating in a while...but here's another one shot~!
4#: Golden Opportunities~!
Man, it's boring when the others are on patrol...
Half an hour had passed from when she came on visit, and found out that the four green turtles were on their evening patrol. The Lair was creepily silent with only Splinter and her being the only ones there, but since the rat was asleep, she felt like was all by herself. Idly skipping from channel to channel, Alexander Taylor yawned. With her head resting on her palm, she made herself comfortable in the big blue couch and gave up hopes of finding anything interesting on TV. Her eyelids lowered little by little until she was lightly snoring, dazing off into a peaceful slumber...and then she was awaken by a loud sound of a piece of metal falling onto the floor from inside the kitchen. She drowsily glanced around and heard angry curses flying everywhere which made it impossible to fall asleep again.
"Raph?" she said and rubbed her tired eyes. Said turtle appeared later, one arm wrapped around his intelligent brother's shoulder for support.
"Where's the others?" One look at the blood-dripping wound on Raph's shoulder made her worried. "Donnie, what happened?"
"A group pf Foot ninjas ambushed us tonight and Raph got hurt," Donatello explained. "It doesn't look serious, but he couldn't fight so I had to take him to the Lair, or that the Foot would've use his wound to their advantage."
"Are Leo and Mikey okay out there?" Alex raised herself from the couch. "I can help them-."
"They said they were fine; The Foot weren't that many. But either way I'm gonna check on them."
"But what about Raph? Aren't you gonna treat him?" the black-haired girl asked.
"That's why I'm glad you're here. I want you to bandage his wound, while I'm gone," the purple-clad turtle continued. "He was in a lot of pain, so I gave him some painkillers. They should kick in soon enough."
"Sure thing. Good luck," she replied and replaced Donatello's shoulder with her own to help Raphael to the couch. He left the Lair and Alex brought the wounded turtle gently on the furniture, and went into the kitchen to get the first aid-kit. She plopped onto the couch again and frowned slightly when seeing the red-clad turtle swing his feet back and forth.
"You okay, Raph?" she asked and nestled closer to carefully remove the clumsy bindings that Donnie had put on. When she inspected it, she saw that the long gash wasn't deep but blood was ever so slowly beginning to gather.
"I'm good, I'm really good," he replied rather enthusiastically. "Actually, I'm feeling pretty dandy today!"
Alex raised a questioning brow but kept doing her business of cleaning the wound. Soon enough, she felt a gentle tug in her hair and glanced at the turtle beside her who had long locks of her hair in his hands.
"What are you doing, Raph?"
"Like your hair," he replied dozily. "Feels soft."
"Why thanks," she said calmly. "...but would you knock it off? It's kinda...distracting."
"Whatever you say," he hummed cheerfully, but kept running his fingers through her long hair. She sighed as she wrapped new bandages around the now clean wound.
Must've be the drugs Donnie gave him. He's way out of his normal behavior.
Satisfied with her work, Alex turned to put the equipment back into the kit and as she did so, she felt Raph hugging her from behind. She blushed a little.
"Whoa, you sure are in a loving mood today, huh?" she chuckled slightly, trying to get out of the embrace, but his tight hold didn't allow her.
"Love you, Alex," was his muffled response, a dopey grin on his face.
"Love you too, Raph, but if you don't let go I'm gonna have to hurt you~," she said in a sing-song voice. The turtle reluctantly did so, his face holding a childish pout that made Alex laugh.
For how long is he gonna be like this? When she heard him resuming his earlier task of humming a melody, an idea crossed her mind. Quickly she fetched her mobile from her pocket as she felt a wide grin appear on her face.
It would be soooooo wrong not to use this..!
"Hey, Raph," she began. "You don't mind doing some karaoke, do ya?"
When Raphael awoke later in his bed, he felt the pain from his shoulder and cringed slightly when touching the bandage. He didn't remember much from after his brother dragged him out of the battle to get him medical aid. In his mind it was all too blurry, and he guessed it wasn't such a big deal anyway. He drowsily exited his room and saw nothing to be out of the ordinary. Leo watching his stupid Space Heroes, Mikey was pestering Donnie to build something he thought was cool, and Alex...
Alex was sitting in the swing, with headphones on and was intensely staring at the mobile in her hands. She looked like she barely able to keep a straight face and that was confirmed when she burst out laughing a minute later.
That looked fishy.
"What'cha looking at, Alex?" Raph asked and walked towards her. She snapped her head up and quickly hid her laugh as well as the phone in a rush.
"Nothing."
"Didn't look like nothing," he said and followed her as she left the swing and walked away. "C'mon, I just wanna have a look."
"It's really nothing, Raph. I'll show you some other time-" she replied, but then in a flash her mobile was swept out of her hands.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, but he shrugged it off. Resuming the paused video, his eyes widened in astonishment. It was him with a microphone in his hand, singing karaoke to one of the songs he hated the most.
"You...!" he turned around, fire flaring in his green eyes. "How'd this happen!"
"I can explain!" she held up her hands in surrender. "You were pretty high on those drugs Donnie gave you earlier today, and-."
"Still doesn't explain that," Raph growled dangerously. Alex swallowed hard as she took as step back, that was mimicked by Raph as he took one forth.
"You..." she trailed off with a nervous smile. "...have a good voice..?"
"Of all the things you could think of, you made me sing like some kinda girl? And to that song?"
"Hey, you sing Baby better than Bieber. I couldn't resist..!"
Alex turned around and took off the exact moment Raph launched forward, both of them running around the Lair like lunatics.
"Baby, baby, baby, Oooh!"
"You are so dead!"
A/N: I once read a fic about Raph getting hurt and then turning all high when Donnie gave him some sedatives. I thought it would be funny in this one shot xD You like?
