In the sewers

Nobody's POV

Mikey and Raph were racing home. Raph was a little in front of Mikey and determined to win. But he wasn't running at his full capacity. Because, even though he would never admit it, he still felt bad about him and Leo fighting and making Mikey so angry.
Raph looked over his shoulder to see if Mikey was still okay.
"Watch out!", Mikey yelled suddenly. Raph looked surprised, but noticed immediately what Mikey was talking about.
Before he even had had the chance to turn his head around, he felt himself tripping over something and falling on the ground.

For a moment, it felt like the world was spinning around him. Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder turning him around. Then, a voice: "…Raph!... Come on, man!"
He opened his eyes and looked straight in Mikey's concerned face. Mikey noticed Raph was fine and sighed: "Would you stop scaring me like that!" Raph grinned, then he thought of something: "What was the thing I fell over?" Mikey looked behind him: "You don't wanna know... A loose tile"
Raph put his hands over his eyes: "Oh…my… Serious?! Something that stupid?"
Mikey nodded but smiled. He stood up and offered Raph his hand. Raph took it and pulled himself to his feet.

When he stood, he looked at his left knee. It was bleeding a little bit and it looked like there was dirt in it.
"I should have Donnie take a look at it…", Raph said "Wait a minute… I've got an idea!"
"Never a good thing!", Mikey said. Raph rolled his eyes, but continued: "I know how I can save you some trouble! Just play along and do what I tell you to do. Deal?"
Mikey nodded, happy enough that he wouldn't get in a lot of trouble.
They continued their walk at a much slower pace.

When they had almost reached the lair, Raph stopped walking. "Listen, this is what we're gonna do", he said "I'm going to lean on you and pretend that I'm hurt, okay? I'll tell them I got hurt by protecting you from some Purple dragons who tried to attack you from the back. Ok?" Mikey nodded to show he understood: "But how will that save me a lecture? All I think it will save is your ego"
Raph let the insult go, but continued his explanation: "If they're too busy about being angry with me for 'rushing into action without thinking', they won't even remember that they were supposed to be angry with you."

Mikey smile grew with every passing second: "You are willing to take lectures from both Don and Leo, just to help me out? For my own stupid action?" Raph shrugged his shoulders in response, but winked.
Mikey flung his arms around Raph's neck: "You're the best!" Raph put his hands on his little brother's shell: "And don't you dare to tell the others about anything that happened today! Otherwise I swear, I'll hide your comic book collection somewhere where you'll never be able to find them again!"
Mikey pulled back and nodded. He knew that Raph only said that and didn't mean a word of it, but he played along.

"Let's do this!", Raph said. Mikey pulled Raph arm over his shoulder and 'supported' for the little walk home. "I hope this will work…", Mikey said.
