"Got a plan, Leo?"
"A plan? Oh, I've got more than just a plan."The blue bandanna wearing turtle chuckled to himself and whispered to Raph's non existent ear. Raph blushed a little and shook his head, looking at his big brother with wide eyes."No way!"
"Yes way."
"Nuh uh, no chance, and no dice. There's no way am I doing something that embarrassing! We haven't done that since we were kids!"
"And that is why we have to do this, Raph! We have to remind Mikey all the good times we had together. We have to show him that we still care about him. We have to express our love to him as brothers. We have to-"
"Have you been watching Sensei's soap operas lately?"
"...N-No...yes...Its pretty good once the drama sets in and-"
Raph held up his hand to signal Leo to stop talking."No more TV for you, Leo."
"B-But..."
"Did you two figure out a plan yet?"Donnie asked as he approached the two. Raph whispered Leo's plan to him, causing the younger turtle to blush."R-Really? A-Are you sure?"
Leo nodded and gave him a grin."Oh, yeah. Definitely. Now, let's begin Operation Hungry Hungry Mikey!"
Donnie groaned and Raph face-palmed.
"Your soaps have commercial breaks too, Leo?"
"Yes...why, Raph?"
"...Just askin..."
Operation Hungry Hungry Mikey is in progress
Well...it wasn't everyday he woke up to see...a scene like this before.
He was always the one to make breakfast in the morning. As soon as he entered the kitchen, however, it seemed he wasn't going to make breakfast this morning...or any morning for awhile. Why? Well, not only did the kitchen look like a disaster, but it looked like it was infested by three, big food monsters. And by food monsters, he meant his big brothers.
His pancake batter covered, buttery smeared, egg white coated, syrup smothered brothers.
"Uuuuuuuuuh..."
"Here!"
He blinked at Leo's face, that was covered in yellow liquid of an egg, and looked down to what he was offered. Mikey considered himself as a culinary chef. His family considered him as one, too. Sure he made some weird concoctions sometimes, but he liked experimenting with food. His creations would turn out to be quite tasty in the end for most of the time as well.
He wish he could've said the same for his brothers...because he had no idea what he was looking at right now.
"W-We made breakfast for you."Donnie said with a nervous smile and twiddled his fingers covered in syrup.
"Yeah...you usually make breakfast for us...so we wanted to return the favor."Leo said gently.
Before Mikey could open his mouth to say something, Raph picked him up bridal style."Ah!"
Raph walked over to a chair and sat Mikey on it. He sat on his own chair and watched his other brothers take their own seat. They all made sure to sit next to their baby brother as close as possible, scooting their chairs closer and closer until they touched his elbows with their own. Leo, however, sat across from them, pushing the plate of..."breakfast towards Mikey with a smile. Grabbing a fork on the table with one hand, the oldest turtle placed his other hand on the rim of the table to reach towards the plate.
Stabbing his fork in the creations him and his brothers worked so hard on for the past hour, he pushed it towards Mikey's face."Here comes the breakfast train, choo choo!"He exclaimed with a small grin on his face and tapped the fork on Mikey's lips. To his relief, his baby brother opened his mouth, although a little hesitant, and consumed the food on the fork. Chewing for a few minutes, he watched his brother close his eyes tightly and swallow the food audibly.
"I-Is it good?"Leo asked as his grin faded into a worried frown.
Mikey's eyes suddenly widened and he blinked a few times before opening his mouth.
"It's...Its..."
"Y-Yeah?"He said and gulped nervously.
"...Good."
"Really?"His brothers question in unison, surprised what they made was actually good. Then again, this was Mikey after all...
"Yeah, it's pretty alright...can...can I have some more?"
"O-Of course!"Leo practically exclaimed in glee and grinned as he took another forkful and fed Mikey. His baby brother hummed in joy and a smile was forming on his face.
'Yes! My plan is working! Now on to the next phase...'He said and once again fed Mikey another piece of breakfast, only this time, he made sure to slightly miss his target."Whoops."He said, not feeling the least bit sorry and felt quite happy with his accomplishment.
Mikey chewed his food and swallowed."That's alright, dude. Just a little syrup on my cheek is all, I can clean it up in no time."He said and wa about to use his tongue to lick it up, until he felt a hand on his chin. The hand directed him towards the owner, and he stared into the eyes of green.
"Raph?"
"I'll...get it for you."He said and used his other hand to lick his own thumb. Licking it twice, he used his thumb to wipe off the syrup on his baby brothers cheek. He felt his face burning and imagined it to be the same color as his bandanna. Seeing Mikey having a blush on his own face, though, made him feel a little less embarrassed.
"R-Raphie..."
He felt his heart pound in his chest as he heard Mikey softly whisper his nickname. He felt a sudden...warmth in his chest. A kind of warmth he hasn't felt in a long time. It felt...nice. It felt nice and...so right.
All of a sudden, Mikey felt an arm wrap around his shoulder from behind. He looked behind him and met a pair of reddish brown eyes. Donnie smiled at him warmly and used his other hand to rub his shell gently."Look at Leo."Mikey gave him a curios look, but did as he was told.
Looking at Leo, his big brother gave him a grin."Do it, Don."Leo said and Donnie nodded. Using his hand that was rubbing Mikey's shell, he patted its its some force three times before a burp came out of his baby brothers mouth. And it wasn't one of Mikey's big and loud burps, it was actually small one. A small, baby burp that made his freckled cheeks redder than before.
Donnie giggled."Aaw, that was cute."
"H-Hey! W-What did you do to my burps?! That was weak!"
Raph chuckled."Just like you."
"Hey! I'm not weak!"Mikey glared at him.
"Sure you are...and I'll prove it!"He smirked and grabbed Mikey into a hug. While Mikey struggled in Raph's hold, Donnie took the opportunity and hugged him too. Leo laughed and got up from his seat.'Now on to the final phase.'He though and went over to his brothers, stretching his arms wide and hugging all three of them.
Mikey stopped struggling and gave them each a wary eye and sighed in defeated."You're right...I'm weak."
"Raph was just kidding, Mikey."Leo chuckled.
"Yeah, loosen up will ya?"
"R-Really?"He asked a bit timidly, and his brothers didn't like that.
"Of course, silly."Donnie said and nuzzled the back of his neck."You're not weak, Mikey. You're strong and...so much more."He spoke softly and hummed happily.
"What Don said, you're...more than what you think you are."Raph said and buried his face in the crook of Mikey's neck. He wanted to say more, but his face was boiling. He felt like if he just tried and opened his mouth he would spit out fire.
"You're special Mikey."Leo said just above a whisper and kissed the top of his head, blushing slightly.
Raph and Don looked up and smirked to each other. Mikey's face was priceless. It was completely red and it looked like he wanted to say something, but no words were coming out. The two brothers nodded at each other and kissed Mikey's freckled cheeks. Mikey let out a sudden coo and quickly smacked a hand around his mouth.
The three looked at him in wonder and they could feel the heat rise from their neck to their face. Their heartbeats quickened and they tightened their hold on him. Mikey slowly took his hand off his mouth and whispered in a squeaky voice."D-Did I make that noise?"
"I missed that noise...I missed you, Mikey."Leo said and his two other brothers nodded in agreement."Do you miss us, baby brother?"
Mikey wanted to ask what he meant by that...until a gurgling noise erupted from his stomach.
"Mikey?"Leo questioned and let go of him, seeing how his face was slowly turning green. Raph and Don saw this and let go, too.
"I...I don't feel so good. Hmpf!"Mikey's eyes widened and quickly held his mouth with his hand, his cheeks puffing up as he rushed to the bathroom. A few seconds passed by and the three turtles could hear the other turtle vomiting his breakfast away. They all groaned and face-palmed.
"We made him sick..."Raph said roughly and rubbed his face.
"I knew this breakfast was too good to be true..."Donnie said and grabbed the plate of unfinished breakfast, shoving it straight into the garbage can.
"N-No wait! This...This could be a good thing! We can comfort Mikey now and make him feel better!"Leo said hopefully, despite the fact that this was probably a very desperate, and sad attempt to take care of his baby brother because of an awful mistake they've done.
He heard footsteps."He's coming back!"Leo said excitedly, until the footsteps stopped. Bigger footsteps were then heard and the three brothers looked to see what the commotion was about. What they saw made them boil in rage.
"Michelangelo, are you alright?"
"No, not really Leatherhead...my stomach hurts."He said softly and pouted, holding on to his stomach in discomfort.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
'...No.'The brothers dreadingly thought.
"Well...could you...hold me and rub my tummy? That'll make me feel a whole lot better."
'No...'The three mentally whispered in horror.
Leatherhead nodded and took Michelangelo into his arms, cradling him with one arm and using a single claw to rub his belly. Mikey hummed and sighed in content."Thank you, Leathy."He said just above a whisper and cooed gently.
"No...problemo...little brother."Leatherhead said carefully and smiled when Mikey giggled at his attempt for saying something he would normally say.
'No!'The three mutants screamed in despair in their heads and dropped to the kitchen floor. Donnie brought up his knees to his chest and buried his head in his hands. Raph clenched his fists and shook his head vigorously, kicking the floor and trying not to curse. Leo's eyes and head twitched violently and his whole body shocked. He hugged himself and his breath started to grow heavy.
'H-How...w-why...Mikey please...please help me! I can't stop this feeling...I-I need you, Mikey. I need my baby brother...I want you in my arms and not that freak! I want you to call me your big brother and look up to me! Not him!' Leo mentally yelled and his breathing quickened its pace.
'I can't breathe...I can't breathe! Mikey, help me! Please!'He thought in panic and floating dots appeared in his vision all of a sudden. His heart pounded in his chest painfully and he started to feel faint.
In only a few moments, his vision turned black.
Operation Hungry Hungry Mikey...failed.
