For a few minutes, there was nothing but silence. You couldn't even hear Mikey's crying, who's tears were slowing down. He calmed a bit, but still felt guilty. Not daring to look at his brothers, he decided to stay where he was in the exact position until they left. He awaited the sounds of their feet walking away to somewhere else in the lair.
The sounds arrived...but they weren't walking away...
Suddenly, Mikey felt a hand on each of his shoulders and one on his head. He payed no attention to them, though. He didn't want to.'I'm so stupid. Now they're gonna tell me just how stupid I am.'He thought sadly.
"Mikey...Mikey look at me."Leo spoke softly.
Mikey hesitated, but then felt the hand on his head petting him gently. He guessed that was Leo's. Lifting his head up a little, he saw Leo looking at him. His face looked serious, Mikey was surprised how he talked so softly. He waited a few seconds to see what his big brother would say to him next.
"You're right. That was pretty stupid of you."Leo said calmly.
Mikey looked down at the floor sadly again. He wasn't surprised to hear that. Not at all surprised. He expected to hear that. Now, he just needed to hear it from his other two brothers.
"Really stupid."Raph said on his right.
"Dumbest idea you ever came up with."Donnie said on his left.
Their voices sounded strange to him. They didn't sound angry like he thought they would. They sounded calm and spoke softly like Leo. Nevertheless, he put his head down in his arms again. He felt new tears beginning to form in his eyes.
'Well...it's official...I'm the dumbest, stupid excuse for a little brother, in the whole world.'He thought miserably.
He heard his big brothers whispering something to each other. He couldn't really hear what they were saying, though.'Their probably whispering about stupid I am. Maybe even a punishment to go along with it.'Mikey thought as a few minutes of silent whispering went by.
"This young turtle isn't so smart is he?"Raph said.
"For thinking of something as dumb as this? Im afraid so."Donnie said.
"If he was smart, he would realize that none of this was necessary."Leo said.
"Huh?"
