Hay guys! I know I know, this is an extremely late update, and I'm very sorry about that. This week has been break, and I really wanted to spend time working on my Human Life series, so please forgive me? I've been kind of busy, and I appreciate your patience! :3

Responses to awesome people!

Special thanks to FanGirlOfEveryone for favoriting!

To Skye7Diamond: Let's all root for Raph! I'm actually glad Leo showed up, Raph was choking him for crying out loud… but I get what you're saying! And I love the name change! You do you ;) And I love dogs! I'm a dog person all the way

To pinksakura271: I 100% agree! Lucas isn't very nice, and being a female as well, Lucas deserves more than a bitch slap from Raph. The last thing you should do is involve family when fighting with Raph, and Leo and Raph will always have their own secrets from the others :)

To Dreaming When Awake: Leonardo definitely knows how to calm Raph down! And I hopefully they don't get too annoyed with Mikey when they get home, they were late for dinner after all. And I love that idea for the main story! Maybe I'll use it?! ;) And yes, they boys are 15, and will always be unless I say otherwise :)

Here's another one-shot!

Mikey sighed as he slung the checker patterned towel over his shoulder. He finally finished the dishes, which wouldn't of taken so long if some people did their own dishes. But what are ya gonna do?

He put the towel onto the counter, feeling happy that he had finished the task. Lately it seemed as if he'd been doing all of the chores, though he wouldn't dare to complain. And it's not like he's mad about it either, he enjoys being useful to his family, but he wouldn't mind if somebody wanted to pitch in.

Mikey understood that everyone had their own things to do, and thoroughly respected that. But it's not like he didn't have his own things to do either, like his own school work or work on some nunchaku techniques he needed to perfect for the next day's training. And a little personal time with some video games would be very much appreciated.

That's when he suddenly remembered the long mental list of chores he still had to complete. After the dishes he had to dust the shelves in the dining room. And he knew how dusty they were, since they rarely ate in there, and they haven't had any guests over recently.

Mikey groaned, this was not how he wanted to spend his Sunday afternoon. A little light bulb became lit inside his mind right after that thought. Maybe he could ask his brothers for help?

Mikey stepped out of the kitchen, running around the house in search of his brothers. His first stop was Donnie's room, his immediate older brother was always cooped up in there, hiding his genius mind from the world. Mikey wouldn't be surprised if Don came out one day with an evil plan of world domination.

But before the youngest could touch the door handle, he could hear his brother talking to himself rather loudly, I sign indicating that he was working on some random project he had to do. He scientific babble was hard to decider, especially through a closed door.

Mikey sighed, knowing that Donnie wouldn't be willing to help him out at the moment. His next choice was Raph, though he was certain that he wouldn't help out even if he wasn't doing anything. Just in case, he went to find his hotheaded brother, knowing that there's the slight chance of him helping.

As Mikey went down the stairs to find his other brother, and as he walked he could hear faint snoring coming from the other room. The youngest rounded the corner, only to find Raph napping the hours away, his body almost taking up the entire couch with his right arm hanging over the side.

There is no way Mikey is waking him up, especially to do chores. Mikey's learned that lesson multiple times, so Raph helping him out was a definite no.

"Two down, one to go." Mikey mumbled to himself, walking past Raph and towards the sparring room.

The sparring room was basically a smaller version of the dojo, but with less weapons and less space. This room was to practice in, or in Raph's case to let off some steam. Leonardo also like to use this room to meditate, getting the habit from Master Splinter.

But Mikey also knew better than to disturb his eldest brother's meditation session. If that was what Leo was doing, then the answer is a no-brainer. He'd have to do all the chores by himself, again.

Surprisingly to Mikey's luck, when he peeked through the opened door, he watched his eldest brother only practicing katas from yesterday's training.

Maybe Leo could help him with all the housework?

"Uh, hey Leo. Do you think you can help me with something real quick?" Mikey knocked the side of the door before talking, not wanting to scare Leonardo.

Leo whipped his head so he could face the door. He saw his youngest brother's head that had found its way into the room. Leo looked back at the clock, and realized that he'd been practicing for about two hours.

"Uh, yeah sure. I'm finished anyways." Leo took breaths between each word, practice making him short of breath. He gave Mikey a tired look, to which the latter replied with a smile.

"Thanks!" Mikey said, leading his brother into the kitchen. He let Leo watch him in confusion as he began to get the dusters out of the cabinet below the sink.

"Mikey, what exactly am I helping you with?" Leo asked with a raised eyebrow, putting a hand on his hip. Mikey stood up with the dusters in hand, giving one to Leo.

"You're gonna help me dust the shelves in the dining room!" Mikey answered, grinning as he brought Leo into the dining room. Leo gave his brother a look, crossing his arms and putting a smile on his face, tucking the duster underneath his arms

"You make it sound like it's fun." Leo said sarcastically. He looked up and saw Mikey chuckle, as the blonde began to dust the shelves all around the room. Leo rolled his eyes, and did the same.

Minutes passed, before Mikey spoke again, which has broken the awakes silence.

"Hey Leo, can you give me that chair?" Mikey asked, pointing to one of the chairs next to Leo. He nodded, pushing the chair towards Mikey.

"Remind me why I'm helping you?" Leo asked, smirking as Mikey stood on the chair to reach the top shelf. Leo could've easily gotten it if Mikey had asked him to, but Leo decided not to offer his help, since this was kind of amusing to watch.

"Uh… cause I'm an awesome little brother who usually does all the chores around here and you love me so much you that I'm probably your favorite?" Mikey answered, looking at Leo with a smile.

"You don't do all the chores around here. Don, Raph and I help out too." Leo defended, putting his duster onto the table. Mikey scoffed at Leo's response, giving his brother a look.

"Since when? Who's been doing all the dishes and laundry and vacuuming? It's been me, big bro." Mikey responded, jumping off the chair. Mikey wiped his forehead and looked around the room.

"Well at least I finished that! Thanks for the help, Leo!" Mikey took the duster off the table, and began walking to the kitchen.

But Leo quickly stopped him, putting a hand on the blonde's shoulder and turning him around.

"Don't take it so lightly, but I'm sorry that we haven't been helping out lately, I didn't mean to burden you-" Leo was cut off by sudden laughter, to which Leo raised an eyebrow at.

"Dude chill! I'm fine, sure I'm a little pressured but it's nothing I can't handle! Don't freak out over it… but I wouldn't mind if you wanted to help a bit more." Mikey said, putting his hand on Leo's wrist.

Leo nodded in response, smiling as they walked back into the kitchen. Mikey put the dusters back where they belonged, before standing up and sighing.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta unload the laundry-" It was Mikey's turn to he cut off by the latter.

"Mikey, take a break ok? You seem to have done a lot around here." Leo indirectly ordered, feeling guilty that his baby brother has been doing almost all the chores around the house.

Sure, Master Splinter surely shares the load, being the father and everything. But lately he's been working at the dojo, coming home just in time to make dinner. And Mikey is more than happy to help, but he seems to have over burden himself lately.

Mikey thought about what Leo had said, before accepting the suggestion. Taking a nap and playing some videogames had Michelangelo's name written all over it!

"You're the boss!" Mikey shouted with a wink towards his brother, before running up the stairs to take a nice long nap.

Time to spend his Sunday afternoon like a normal person! Or at least, as normal as he can get.

Once again, I'm really sorry this is SUPER LATE, things have been happening and I'm trying to manage everything the best I can, please forgive me! ;;; I know this one isn't a suggestion, but the next one will be a strongly requested one…

HINT BECAUSE IF YOU READ THIS YOU ARE AWESOME: (Even though anyone who reads my stories I love and appreciate very much)
