Confession Aftermath

The four turtles were lying in their beds in their shared room that night, none of them could fall asleep as each time they did they found themselves back watching Master Splinter get hurt, they could feel themselves falling with the tower with the thought of losing everything.

They never told their father exactly what had happened and what they had went through as they didn't want to worry him.

Now he was asleep as the four brothers pretended to sleep.

''Anyone asleep?'' Mikey asked tiredly, he could never take silence for very long.

''Nope.''

''Nah''

''Not even close'' Came three replies.

''Thought so'' Mikey sighed as he sat up, his brothers did the same.

''This really shouldn't be bothering us'' Leonardo sighs, ''We're ninja… we're supposed to be fearless''

''We're supposed to look fearless during battle'' Donatello corrected as he picked up his glasses from his bedside table and placed them on his face. ''Fear is a natural emotion to feel. Especially seeing as this was our first proper battle''

''Yeah ok Donnie'' Raph growled. ''Whatever''

Donnie shut his mouth and look down at his lap.

''So Raph'' Mikey coughed with a slight smile. ''What about what you said?''

Raphael looked at his little brother and frowned.

''Whaddya mean?'' he asked.

''Your little confession?'' Mikey smirked, ''When we were falling you said some sweet stuff bro! Ya can't be mean to Donnie now that he knows you're just as sensitive as him!''

''I'm not sensitive!'' Raph and Donnie blurted and looked at one another.

''Just shuddup Mikey'' Raph grumbled. ''At least I understood the ending of Lost!''

''What was it that you said again?'' Mikey pretended to think really hard. ''Oh yeah! 'I'm sorry! I'm so sorry I was so hard on you! Everytime I pushed you, yelled at you, pushed you beyond your limits it was because I believe in you! I believe in each one of you!''

''Enough Mikey'' Leo warned as Raph's eyes narrowed dangerously.

''I had no idea ya loved us so much'' Mikey grinned.

''That was only for Leo and Don'' Raph smirked nastily, ''You weren't included''

Mikey pouted childishly.

''Fine'' he got out of bed, ''I'm gonna go throw out the poptarts now thanks to Donnie'' He then pretended to storm out the room while Donnie blushed furiously.

Everything was silent for a moment.

''Thanks Raph'' Donnie smiled shyly, Raph raised an eyeridge. ''For the confession… though uh… I kind of already knew you felt that way… It was pretty obvious''

''Well, ain't you the smart one'' Raph smirked good-naturedly. Donnie chuckled lightly as he too got out of bed.

''You're not alone Raph…'' Donnie shrugged as he went to leave the room. ''We all feel the same…''

Then he left to go check Mikey wasn't ordering pizza at 2 O'clock in the morning.

Leonardo looked at Raphael.

''Honestly I don't remember most of your confession'' He smiled genuinely, ''But the last part will always stick with me… You're a good brother Raph… you don't need to worry about not being worthy. We are a team and if you ever left… well… I honestly don't think we'd ever be able to win another battle. You're important to us and we love you.''

''Thanks Leo… I-I'm sorry I got you guys captured… I should have fought better'' Raph bowed his head.

''It's not your fault… I guess you could argue that it's April's fault'' Leo chuckled, ''Either way it's all over now and we all made it through''

Raph nodded with a smile.

Donnie and Mikey came back in and settled into their beds again.

''I love our midnight talks and all but can we try to sleep now?'' Mikey asked with a laugh. ''I'm sleepy.''

Donatello took off his glasses and put them back on his little table, he smiled shyly as his brothers looked at him.

''They were annoying me… I don't mind talking to three green blurs'' He shrugged.

''Is there anyway you could get contacts?'' Leo asked sympathetically.

''Yeah! Glasses must be, like, the worst things ever during a fight!'' Mikey nodded.

''Don't you remember how long it took me to find these?'' Donnie chuckled. ''I'm not just gonna give them up… but… maybe one day I'll get contacts…''

Raph looked at his brothers and smiled, he was so glad they had survived everything together. He would've missed moments like this.

They all lay down in their beds and fell asleep one by one, taking comfort in the thought that Shredder was dead and they were all safe at home.

Next one will be up shortly x
