Word By; Bookhater95 : Serious


"Raphael!" Ugh, I knew that tone, it was going to be Leonardo coming at me once again to have another lecture. I stood with my back to him, trying to remember what I'd done this time, and when nothing came to me I turned slowly on the spot and came face to face with-

"Mikey?"

His arms were crossed, his face set, and for a moment there was a flicker of our Father's stern expression in his eyes as he glared at me. I was so startled I almost took a step back before shaking it off and frowning at him. "What's up Mike?"

"Are you the one who threw away that box I left on the counter, I one I specifically told you not to touch."

I had to cast my mind back a bit to remember what he was talking about until I landed on said box, chard a bit around the edges and when opened revealed to have burnt up paper inside that seemed pointless. I didn't remember Mikey saying not to throw it out though, maybe I'd phased that part out. Still "Yea, so what? It was a box of junk."

His eyes narrowed and he puffed up, like he was contemplating on smacking me. This was starting to get down right creepy, my baby brother never looked at anyone like that. "So what! Raph, that was a box from April's old shop, it had notes from her parents before they died! She left it here when she was staying for a while, and I found it in my room last night. I was going to return it to her."

Now I kind of wish he had slapped me, that would have felt better then knowing I'd thrown out April's stuff. "I'm sorry Mike, I didn't know-" he cut me off by stating "Don't apologize to me, but maybe you should start thinking before doing sometime."

He then turned away and stomped off, to go to the dump and look for the box I presume. I stared after him in utter shock, stunned by the fact that this had been the first time in a very long time Mikey had lost his temper. Guess our baby brother was finally growing up, and I wasn't sure I liked it.

"Hey Mikey, wait up!" I hollard after him, now determined to do what ever it took to not only get that box back, but remind him how much we all needed to hear that care free laugh again.


So, I'm not used to doing a serious Mikey, but when I do I go with this angle. I don't really know where that stuff at the end really came from, I just wasn't sure how Raph would take this either. I also don't know how April's parents died, and there like never mentioned. Ever. Yet that episode about her Uncle made it sound like they were close, which lead me to believe diseased parents, you get the gist. Hope you guys enjoyed

p.s. I think this is the longest one yet
