Okay So I know I recently had a Raph and Mikey one but someone requested this so I decided to do it because I aim to please, besides, seems like you all seem to really love Raph and Mikey moments!

This idea was SilverExorcist405 who asked me to write this c: So the credit goes to you because it was YOUR idea. I hope it was up to your standards!

The cool New York air was usually calming to his fickle anger, but not today. As he watched the night sky from the rooftops he felt his mood plunge deeper into a hole of irritation. Leo was riding him again, when was he not? There is always something Fearless has to correct or be on his shell about these days. Okay maybe he did purposely do things just to piss of the leader, but he didn't always mean to. Then Mikey tried to help but just made things worse. It shoved his temper into further frustration and he just had to get out before he punched someone. Raph was most likely going to get an earful from Splinter for retreating from the lair in such a fashion. He really has mastered the art of storming off in an irate fury, but it wasn't mature. He felt like a five year old having a tantrum and it wasn't something he was proud of but the older brother was asking for it this time. He kept poking the bear. Yet they always blamed him, they always shook their heads and sighed. It hurt, and he felt so alone.

The more he sucked in the hazy air the more he felt guilty. Okay, maybe he shouldn't lash out like that but it's hard. Leo was just so smug and deserved it, it's not the right thing to do but it felt good. Mikey didn't deserve it, but he got in the way. His anger is just too hard to control sometimes. They love to push it over the edge and then they scream and point fingers when the monster comes out.

They were the ones asking for it!

He sighed. No that's not true; his brothers love him and don't mean to get under his skin like this. It still felt like they did sometimes.

A scream split the air and Raph was knocked out of his thoughts. Without hesitation he ran towards the sound that was ingrained in his memory. He raced and peeked down a dark alley. A woman was fighting over her purse with a bunch of Purple Dragons.

His growl mixed with a smile.

Wrong night boys! He jumped down, deliberately making noise as he hit the pavement. The Dragons, about seven of them, turned and looked at the sudden sound. Raph twirled one Sai around his finger and crossed one arm underneath.

"Didn't ya mothers ever tell ya it's rude to take people's stuff without askin?" He smirked. He heard one of the Dragons groan.

"This freak again?"

Raph couldn't help but grin. The lady was smart and took this opportune moment to run out of the dark alley. The gang didn't care as they kept all eyes on the turtle.

"What? Didn't ya miss me?" Raph flipped his Sai in the air and grabbed the handle before taking off into a mad charge. He knocked into the man closest to him who fell to the ground. Then Instant chaos erupted and they all swarmed the turtle but Raph knocked them to and fro. He wrapped an arm around the neck of a Dragon and used him as shield for an oncoming punch.

"Hey nice shot!" He chuckled roughly and shoved them into each other. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a punk charge him. Raph slammed a punch into him and the man flew into a trash can.

The Dragon groaned amongst the trash cans and pushed himself to a sitting position. He watched the turtle smash and kick his gang around; this wasn't going well for them. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a plastic bag lying next to him and grabbed it. Raph was too busy taking out his buddies to notice the Purple Dragon running up behind him. He jumped on his shell, shoved the bag over the turtles head and pulled it back to cut off any oxygen.

Raph tried to shake off the man but he felt the rough punches from the other Dragons hit his body. He clinched his muscles as blow after blow rammed into his skin. His vision blurred and he scratched for air as the bag cut into his throat. His legs gave out and he fell to his knees, fighting for air.

This is it.

This is how he dies! And from the Purple Dragons!? How pathetic!

No, he was not going to die! He refused to die like this! He reached his hands around and felt the body that hung around his neck. He clawed at the man's arm and was prepared to throw the Dragon over his shoulder when the weight was suddenly lifted from his shell and the bag loosened around his throat. Raph fell forward and wrestled the bag off his face. He coughed and struggled as air compressed back into his lungs. He vaguely saw the Dragons who yelped and squealed around him but his mind was too busy thinking about breathing.

"I can't see it!"

"Where did it go?"

"BEHIND YOU!"

"mmmphh—"

Raph finally glanced up at the shouts and only one Dragon remained, the rest scattered unconscious on the ground. He blinked away his confusion and growled. He launched to take out the last standing man. The Purple Dragon heard the war like shout and fumbled for his gun. Raph felt fear lace through his heart and prepared to dodge a bullet when something from the opposite way zipped through the air. It zoomed past his head and it cut the punk's hand, he dropped the gun with a squeak. Raph didn't hesitate and punched him hard in the face; the Purple Dragon was knocked out instantly.

Without a second to lose he looked around for whoever helped him. He was still in a fighting stance not sure if it was friend or foe. He glanced up towards the roof of the building and saw an outline of a figure standing on the edge. Raph jumped on the ladder and began to climb towards him but the shadow took off.

"HEY!" Raph yelled out as he climbed quicker. The person jumped from roof to roof with ease, sticking closely to the shadows so Raph could only see its silhouette. He chased the figure but it was too fast and Raph was too far behind. He slowed to a stop and watched the outline continue to run. The shadow hopped on a beam and crouched low looking back at Raph. They stared at each other for a while until his rescuer jumped off, twirling in the air. He noticed the technique and ease of the flip. He also recalled its silent footsteps and how it used the darkness to its advantage.

It was definitely a Ninja.

Raph turned around and headed back towards the scene of the crime. He searched the ground until he found the object that knocked the gun out of the Purple Dragons hand. Metal gleamed against his palm, it was a Shuriken.

Immediate recognition hit him; it had to have been one of his brothers but which one?

Leo? It would make the most sense, the stealthy movements and secrecy fits. Yet he was fast, faster than Leo was. Also the way the figure moved had a certain signature style; it was flamboyant and natural instead of practiced and controlled.

Raph felt a smile meet his face; he knew exactly who it was.

Raph stepped in the lair, it was quiet and still. At this time of night one would think his brothers would be asleep but he knew better. Donnie would be tinkering around in his lab until three in the morning, Leo was most likely meditating before bed and Mikey was probably glued to the couch. Typical. He stalked towards the TV area and sure enough Mikey was lying on the sofa, his eyes were closed and his breathing was heavy.

Sleeping? Yeah right! He must have heard him come in. Raph tilted his head and put his hands on his hips.

"Nice try Mikey, that trick only works on Leo." He said. Mike opened one eye and stared right at Raph for a beat, then he sat up quickly and faked a stretch still trying to pull it off.

"Oh hey there Raphie! Just getting in?"

Is he really going to play this game? Raph thought and rolled his eyes. He crossed his arms and bore a look at his brother's lopsided grin.

"You would know; you probably beat me by fifteen minutes." Raph grunted. Mikey's eyes flashed with surprise but quickly transformed into confusion. He was a pretty good little actor, but he wasn't faking his way out of this one!

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Let's not play this game. You know what." Raph said roughly.

"I think you've finally lost your marbles!" Mikey exclaimed.

"And I think you lost one of these." Raph tossed the Shuriken and Mikey caught it out of instinct. He held it in his palm and examined it.

"Ooo…that's what you're talking about." Mikey's voice shook slightly and he gave a nervous giggle. "How'd you know it was me?"

"Cause Leo wouldn't have been caught." Raph snickered.

Mikey flinched at the words now feeling clumsy about his personal stealth mission.

"So why'd ya follow me?" Raph asked and shifted his weight onto one foot. Mikey felt small as he sat on the couch in front of his scowling brother. There wasn't such a great height difference between them all but his brothers could always make him feel three feet shorter. That didn't stop him from trying to get out of this increasingly awkward conversation.

"I happened to be on a midnight stroll." Mikey's voice was breezy.

"No."

"I wanted your autograph?"

"No."

"Okay okay fine….I'm batman" Mikey flashed a grin. Raph rolled his eyes and yanked on Mikey's mask tails. His head flung backwards.

"Owowow! Okay! I'll talk!" Raph released him and Mikey sighed.

"Well, I know you. You don't have a clear head when you are mad and I just had a bad feeling. I was…worried about you." Mikey picked at his wrist wrappings and looked away. Raph kept his arms crossed and gazed at his brother. It was silent for a while until Mikey couldn't handle it anymore. He looked up and Raph was still staring.

"So um—" Mikey started but was interrupted.

"I appreciate it but ya didn't have to. I was doing fine." He said rougher then he intended to.

Mikey felt the pangs of annoyance, he helped his brother and this is the thanks he gets. It's not surprising, and he was hoping Raph wouldn't have found out but it still frustrated him that his brother was annoyed about this.

"If that's your definition of fine then sure, but to me it looked like the Purple Dragons were kicking your shell."

Raph squinted his eyes and growled at the shot to his pride.

"I didn't ask for your help." Raph grunted.

"No but obviously you needed it!"

"I said I was doing fine!"

It was too much, Mikey rarely got irritated but Raph really was just so pig headed sometimes.

"Well I'm sorry I saved your shell! My bad! Next time I'll just let you die, happy?" Mikey exasperated and threw his arms in the air. He started to march towards his room when a hand shot out and grabbed his shoulder.

"Wait." Raph mumbled. Mikey stood up straighter and glared at his brother. He tilted his head up proudly but Raph could tell he hurt his brother's feelings. Raph sighed and softened.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. Mikey blinked at his brother and smiled.

"Excuse me, what was that?" He smirked and leaned his head in. Raph rolled his eyes and huffed.

"I said I'm sorry! I…uh…appreciate you watching out for me." Raph shifted uncomfortably and looked around the lair hoping none of the other brothers heard him. Mikey genuinely laughed.

"Was that really so hard?"

"Yes."

"Wait until I tell the others the Great Raphael apologized. Ya old softy." Mikey grinned and pinched Raph's cheek. Raph scowled at him before a thought came to his head, his lips formed into a wicked smirk.

"That's right, an ol' softy. Come here and give me a hug." He held his arms out wide. Mikey's smile faded and he suspiciously glanced at Raph. Mikey took a step back; he knew better then to take that bait. Raph saw his hesitation and chuckled.

"Come here Mikey, I just want a hug!" Raph teased. Mikey jumped over the couch to put it in between them and giggled.

"I'm good! No more thanks necessary!"

"Awh! You're hurting my "soft" feelings!" Raph laughed and launched after Mikey. Mikey turned to move but it was too late. Raph wrapped him in a harsh bear hug and squeezed with all his strength.

"Raph…I….Can't….breath!" He struggled out of his brother's hold while Raph continued to chuckle. Mikey was finally released from the crushing hug and made a show of being able to breathe again. Raph shook his head and started to walk away, he muttered quietly and Mikey almost didn't hear him.

"Thanks knucklehead."

Mikey beamed.

I hope you enjoyed this!
