il secondo giorno
The second day dragged on, even though there were only two fights, they lasted much longer than the fights the day previous and Mikey was itching to get out of there and see Raphael again.
And now that he knew that Raphael was part of the Hamato family, he knew where to look for him, that was if he was allowed past the gates.
...He could always sneak in?
He knew it wasn't legal, but it was worth it if he got to see Raphael again.
Yes, he would sneak in to see the Alpha turtle tonight.
As soon as it was dark, Mikey made his way to the Hamato estate. The gates were guarded, but the wall was easily climbable for a turtle as agile and athletic as he.
On the other side of the wall it felt like he'd stepped into another country. There were cherry blossom trees, various other green and light coloured plants, ponds filled with koi fish and a cascade which led down into the largest of the ponds.
What Mikey didn't see, until it was too late, was a turtle, dressed in a flower-patterned lilac kimono knelt down by the largest of the ponds.
"Who are you?" The turtle asked, startled as he stood up.
"Please don't call for anyone." Mikey begged.
"Who are you?" He repeated. "What are you doing here?" The turtle asked as he made his way over to Mikey. He was much taller than the orange clad turtle, but he must have been a Beta...but the Hamato clan was filled with Alpha's….and Raphael had said he had no mates, was he lying?
"My name is Michelangelo…" he said and the other turtle smiled.
"You're the Beta that Raphael is fighting for?"
"Yes, are you…?" Mikey said, not wanting to say what he was thinking out loud, but the other turtle's eyes widened, obviously he knew what Mikey was trying to say.
"Oh no, I'm Donatello, I'm Raphael's brother's mate."
"Oh, oh okay." Mikey nodded.
"Did you come here to see Raphael?" And after Mikey nodded he continued. "You know that is very dangerous, and illegal, you're not his mate...not yet anyway."
"I know, I just...need to see him."
"Of course, come with me." Donatello said, his hand open for Mikey to take, which he did and was led into the home and to Raphael's chambers.
