WHAT DID I SAY. SHORT. AS. FUCK. Only 357 words, by far the shortest thing I have ever written.

5Mississippis: Thank you! So much! I posted the chapter and checked my phone before going to sleep, and I saw that someone had already reviewed and I was like what? Already? Who could this be? And I read it and I was so happy when I went to sleep! XD

Yukio87: asdfjkl; Thank youu! I'm so so happy you liked it! I have started on that chapter for you, and everything is planned out, I just might not get it done in time by tomorrow. BUT IT'S BEING WRITTEN RIGHT NOW. :D have a good day/night!

OKAY. ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING. On the 18th I'm going to camp. I wish I could bring my computer along, but electronics aren't allowed... But that shouldn't stop you from reviewing in that time so I can see how you all are doing! You guys make me so happy, AND THANK YOU WHO FOLLOW AND FAV THIS. I THINK OF YOU GUYS TOO.

I'll get back officially on the 25th, so you can expect a super long chapter either before camp or after, review what you want and I can make it happen!

THANKS FOR READING THAT NOW THE STORY. HOPE YOU LIKE IT!

I own this. Hahaha I lie. Excuse me while I cry.

13 Light- Leo always leaves a light on for when Raph finally gets home. It's what he does. Raph always turns off the light Leo leaves on for him. It's what he does.

Raph always got mad when Leo stayed up to wait for him. He couldn't describe why, exactly. Maybe it was just that it seemed like Leo was being a goody-two-shoes by looking out for him. Maybe. Either way, Raph hated it.

So one night, he told Leo he hated that he waited for him. It got on his nerves. He thought Leo knew and was just doing it for that reason. But the next time Raph came home, Leo wasn't waiting there for him. Instead, a light was on by the stairs. It gave off enough light for Raph to see where he was going.

It was strange, not having Leo there on the couch waiting, but it was also nice not having his smug face there telling him off for running out after a fight he'd started. So Raph climbed the stairs and flipped the switch at the top, turning off the light.

The next time Raph ran out, he was still angry when he came back. There hadn't been any crimes to stop, no thugs to beat up. So he left the light on, as a 'so there' gesture.

When he woke up the next morning for training, it was off.

It became something more than just a light. Leo did it to show he cared. Raph did it to show he wasn't angry anymore. It was a nice system.

One night, Leo was the one to storm out. Raph knew he'd hit a breaking point when he'd brought Karai into it. So Leo left, and Raph was left there scratching his head at what to do.

Mikey and Donnie went to bed first. It was almost midnight by now. The lair was dark.

All except for the light left on by the stairs.

Leo stared at it. It wouldn't seem like much, but coming from Raph, it was all Leo could ask for.

With a small smile, he flipped the switch.
