"My brother is my friend. He is my heart. He is my world. He has my heart. We run, we cry, we play, we laugh. But at the end of the day he will always be my friend, but mostly my big brother and he is here to stay by my side."

(Michelangelo)
As the little brother, I rely on my big brothers so much. Though they fight all the time, they try to protect me from all kinds of harm in their own way. But big brothers don't use one method in saving them. They use and rely on their personalities; their true self. That's what I love about them. In turn, I respect them all. Though I am not like them, I do my best protect them in my own way. If I were a big brother, that would be hard. You need to deal with life when it comes to a little brother. But even if I'm the youngest, I fully understand why they do their best to get me out of harm. Related or not, they are always there for me.
Leo is the total big brother. He acts like the president, always making sure that everyone is happy and safe. I can understand his pain. It's always risky for him. Sometimes, he needs to give up his childish ways and acts very matured. I hate to admit, but I pity my own brother. He's done so much and he never asks for any appreciation. To me, he is our savior. He is a true hero. He puts his life on the line for us. He is a very skilled who would go on lengths just to save his brother. Like him, we have the same protective streaks, though I never show it.
Raph is more of a tsundere. He is always violent and is short-tempered but like Leo, he only does it for the good side. He is always the victim of my pranks and in turn, I am always the victim for when he gets mad. But though we have a love-hate relationship, we still care each other deeply. Like Leo, Raph would go measures just to save my life. When one falls, he would be so mad. He would chase the monsters in my dreams away. Like him, we are both tsunderes. But unlike Raph, I rarely use this personality. I'm more of a deredere. I'm always sweet to everyone.
Donnie is a genius. Among the others, I am the most amazed person when it comes to Donnie's inventions. But I'm always the cause of the viruses in his computer. But though we are opposites, we love each other no matter what. When no one would play with me, Donnie would challenge me into video games. He takes me to the dumpster the most to look for scraps of metal. When we can't find scraps of metal anymore, he would sneak in to my hideout. Down below the dumpster is an RV van. We would crawl in there and eat pizza or just have fun. Like him, sometimes we are both smart. When the time comes, I always act as the smart one for my big brother's lives.
But sometimes, they push me down.
Recently, they blamed me for breaking our friendship with April. Sensei became really disappointed. Then, I heard the voices in my heads. The voices say that I am no longer useful to them. They also say that I need to start fresh once again. And that's what I did. By December, I was adopted by a lovely woman named Mrs. Marigold. But I call her Auntie Agatha. We were a happy family. But when her three sons came in, life will never be the same again...
(Third Person)
"Nii-nii?"
Those words made it out of his lips. But it was soft. It was so they wouldn't be confused. He just mumbled that word.
Those three boys...reminded him of his brothers. The names sound similar and by their looks, have the same personalities. The eldest looked like a fierce leader who would do anything to protect his brothers. He's a fan of sci-fi shows and is the oldest. The next one is the short-tempered fellow but has a soft side. He may not look like he has a soft side but he rarely shows it. The last looked like a genius. He looks like he won many awards from various Science competitions. Though smart, he has a protective side. To make it short, his brothers are similar to her sons.
"H-Hi. I-I'm Mikey. It's a pleasure to meet you dudes."
The eldest stepped up. "I'm Leon. These are my two brothers: Raffaelo and Don."
"Well then, my sons, please go to the kitchen. We need to have a talk. Mikey, you can watch TV."Aunt Agatha said.
Mikey nodded and went to the couch.
When the three sons came in, they sat down and ate their "Welcome-back treat".
"Mother?"
Agatha turned to see Leon. "Yes dear?"
"Why is Mikey here?"
Agatha sighed. "Well, it all began a few months ago..."
"...and that's how he ended up here."
The three brothers nodded. They didn't know that Mikey had a past like that.
"That was...horrible."
Agatha sighed. "That's why I want you to please don't repeat what his brothers did to him. Do I make that clear?"
"Yes mother."They replied. Agatha smiled. "How about you guys play at the backyard?"
Don smiled. "That would be great. I'll ask Mikey."
Immediately, Don stood up and walked to the living room, thinking, "How long had he live in that hell?"
"Hey, Mike. Mom told us that we could play outside. Wanna come?"
Mikey smiled. "Sure, Don. But are you sure?"
"Of course."Both turned to see Leon and Raffaelo. "I...heard about your past. And...if anything, we won't treat you like your family. We are a team. Related or not."
Raffaelo smiled. "Yeah. And I swear, if I find those bozos, I'll make sure to teach them a lesson they will never forget."
Mikey laughed. "Be careful, Raf. They are highly trained ninjas. I think you might be at the hospital the moment you lay a finger on them."
Raph's eyes widened. "But...but...I'm a trained vigilante. You never said they were ninjas!"
Leon, Don and Mikey laughed.
"So, what do you usually do at snow?"Mikey asked, touching the frozen ground. He wore Leon's shirt, Raf's jacket and scarf and Don's boots, gloves and hat.
"Well, we make snow angels, snowmen and have snowball fights."Leon said, making a snowball. He then threw it to Raf. Raf turned around and threw two snowballs at him.
Leo smirked. "Oh, it's on!"
After six hours of snowball fight, Raf and Mikey won by 125 points. Leon and Don were five points away from them.
"We win~!"Mikey exclaimed. "That means you two have to do the dishes for a month!"Raf exclaimed. The two high-fived each other. Leon and Don sighed. "Okay, we surrender."
Suddenly, Agatha opened the window. "Come inside for dinner. I made cookies and hot chocolate!"
"Aw yeah! Hot coco and cookies!"
The four ran to the door, excited for dinner. And for the first time, Mikey didn't think about his brothers. No. He thought about this newfound family he had. They were better than his other one. He didn't think about his pains. All he thought was that Christmas was coming and he was happy that he found a new home.
But at the next few chapters, he didn't expect this...
"Within the memories of you and me
Sorrow and sighing will echo
All the fragments of the peaceful days
Look away and give up on everything
I'm sorry I've looked away until now
You were forced to bear your suffering
Another roll of the dice
Repeating the darkness
Because I'm walking with you
I'm not lonely anymore
But secretly I think about the heartache
I was also mistaken
I'm so grateful that I met you
Because instead of tears I have a gift
From everything that I have run away from
But this time I will believe
It will be okay, so believe in the power
That can even cause miracles
With everyone the future has been opened
Darling, it's the beginning of the world
I will face forward and never mourn anymore
I will not run away from the stage
Come, let's go to the shining future
You and me, marching together
From now on this is our story
I wonder what will happen next"
