Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it, reviews are love \ (^_^) /
That night the brothers grouped together to watch a movie after April left saying how confusing it all was and Donnie babying her for a while.
After arguing half an hour over what to watch then finding the remote Mikey had hide while they fought, they finally decided on a stereotypical action hero movie with horrible graphics and animation that looked like it was from the stone age raph none to please with the choice Donnie and Leo had made and Mikey was just content to be a part of it all and he was even happier because he had put a woppie cushion under Leos seat
Raph was now laying his back on the couch and Mikey had decided to lie on top of raph to keep him from getting up and leaving despite the fact raph had said how much he wanted to go do something else because the movie was stupid.
Leo and Donnie leaned against each other Donnie's head resting on Leos shoulder and Leos head resting against Donnie's in a way that suggested they're need for sleep was dire.
Mikey sighed no one had actually sat on the woppie cushion and he put such great care in putting it in a place he was sure Leo would sit.
Twenty minutes into the movie Donnie was snoring softly and Leo yawning despite the fact that on the TV cars were exploding and the hero was in the middle of an epic battle against the enemy, Leo stood lifting his purple clad brother into his arms bridal style Donnie stirred slightly in his arms but instantly fell back asleep his arms wrapping around Leo
"I'm taking Donnie up to his room so he'll actually sleep in his bed tonight, rather than at his desk" Leo announced and received a tired nod from raph who looked rather close to Donnie's situation.
The two brothers disappeared across the lair going the direction of the rooms.
Raph tried his hardest to stay awake he really did but when splinter came out and put a blanket over them tucking them in and kissing their foreheads like he used, then turned the lights out, raph lost the inevitable battle and dozed off to the sound of mikey's small relaxed breathes he did when asleep, raph entered a dreamless sleep his gentle snores accompanying mikey's breathes.
。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
Raph was woken to the sound of mikey's girly scream and something crashing before his eyes were even open he was in the kitchen where the sound had come from.
raph took in the scene in front of him Mikey was holding his hand pain causing tears to prickle at his eyes a pan was sitting precationsley on the stove in a manner that showed it had been dropped
Raph grabbed mikey's hand and pushed it under the faucet turning on the cold water like he'd seen Donnie do to April when she burnt herself on the torch in his lab
"I'm sorry I woke you up raph" Mikey whispered watching the water course over his red hand
"It's okay Mikey" raph let go of mikey's hand leaving it under the water he went to the cupboard and got out the first aid kit
"Mikey ya gotta start being more careful you get hurt easier like this" raph scolded halfheartedly
"I know it's just hard I didn't realize it was that hot" Mikey whined turning the water. Off and sitting on the chair by the counter raph dried mikey's hand as gentle as he could
"When ya use your nun chucks be careful not to hit yourself it could be bad, in one of the modern ninja magazines I read it said that a lot of people break bones using em" Raph quickly wrapped the burn
"I'm a master nun-chucker I'll be fine" Mikey said smiling widely joy in his voice despite Raph's concern.
Raph turned and dug through a drawer pulling out an oven mitt he threw it to Mikey who caught it easily.
"Use this, it'll keep ya from getting burnt again" raph said turning and leaving the kitchen he went to his punching bag began throwing punches and kicks at it.
'What're we gonna do if he gets hurt? Donnie ain't no doctor' raph threw his sai hitting a modified dart board across the room
'They're gonna go after him the hardest' raph kicked the [punching bag and the cord broke the bag flew across the room and hit a wall crashing loudly a picture frame Donnie had hung fell to the floor shattering
Raph dropped to the ground realizing he was running out of breath from the relentless beating he gave the punching bag
"dude Donnie isn't going to be very happy" Mikey said from where he had crept up behind raph "he just hung that yesterday" raph looked up at Mikey from where he sat on the floor
"brainy-ack will get over it" raph said shrugging his shoulders, he watched as Mikey crossed picking the frame up he squeaked slightly brow furrowed
"What's wrong Mikey?" raph asked walking over to Mikey he watched as a drop of blood rolled off his finger and hit the floor
Raph quickly grabbed mikey's hand knocking the picture frame out of his grasp he then pulled the younger former turtle behind him to the lab where he sat him down on the desk
"I think I used to take thick skin for granted" Mikey said sighing slightly as raph pulled a piece of glass out of his finger with the tweezers he found on Donnie's desk
Raph pulled one of the bandages out of a pack he found in the drawer and wrapped his finger
"You're gonna get better soon Mikey just you wait then you'll be back to normal and ya won't get hurt anymore" raph assured
"I'm useless I won't be helpful to the team anymore like this" Mikey whispered close to tears "I can't even make breakfast without getting hurt"
Raph watched as a tear rolled down mikey's freckled cheek he wiped it away as soft as he could manage
"hey your still useful to us okay? I think your fine like this, i mean your faster and lighter on your feet you can be the most stealthy out of all of us now" raph said then let out a small grunt "don't tell anyone I told you any of that ya brat"
Mikey smiled through tears leaning forward against Raph's chest he wrapped his arms around the older turtle
"Thanks raphie" Mikey whispered he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around him
"No problem bro" raph gently rested his head against mikey's shoulder
"It's a Kodak moment" Donnie's voice said behind them
"Yeah" Leo agreed
Raph and Mikey split apart glaring as there brothers laughed leaning on each other to keep from falling over
Raph helped Mikey down from the table ruffling his hair
"Breakfast is ready" Mikey said smiling happily
。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
after breakfast the turtles went about their projects for the day, Donnie working on armor for Mikey and the rest piled into the dojo Leo began meditating while Mikey and raph trained together raph with his sais and Mikey his nun chucks they began going at each other
Mikey ran circles around raph bouncing around hitting him as often as he could, raph did his best but found holding back a difficult thing, he grabbed mikey's leg as he bounced past and pulled him to the ground Mikey let out a cry as raph flipped him on his back and sat on his stomach In one swift motion he held mikey's hands down.
"Look Mikey ya gotta put more force into your swings your never gonna get anywhere like that" raph scolded
"Well you didn't even try to hit me" Mikey said putting his bottom lip out
"Don't worry ill hit ya as soon as Donnie finishes your armor"
The two glared at each other not wanting to lose by looking away
"My son how long do you intend to sit on your brother?" splinter asked from where he had been watching un-noticed
Raph jumped flinging himself off Mikey who stood still pouting
"Sensei" raph said bowing
"If you intend to become better then you mustn't hold back Michelangelo" splinter said frowning at his youngest son who simply nodded still in full on pout mode
"That is enough training like this for today" splinter put his hand on mickeys shoulder "you should work with your weapons to get control of them once again"
"Yes master splinter" Mikey said a dejected look on his face
"My son you will get better still the fear in your heart" splinter whispered pulling Mikey into his arms for a brief hug before he turned and walked away going to find Donnie

April entered the lair feeling slightly nervous she was greeted by the sight of a shirtless human Mikey, running from raph the older brother was looking at Mikey with the intent of murder and Mikey was laughing as he bounced off the couch doing a flip he landed and sprinted faster than April had ever seen him go
"Mikey I'm gonna kill ya" raph shouted
"Come on raph chill" Mikey laughed turning just in time to avoid raph
April smiled softly
"Hey guys I'm here" April called out Donnie came out of his lab wearing a welder mask
"Mikey listen to raph and put your shirt on Aprils here" Donnie commanded and Mikey obeyed but not without pouting for a minute before
Raph was quick to help Mikey into his shirt the two brothers glaring at each other
"So April what's up?" Donnie asked trying to act causal as he came closer to the ginger
"Eh I just wanted to bring you this box of clothes for Mikey" April said smiling as she held the box out, raph quickly snatched it smiling evilly
"Oh no April what did you do?" Mikey cried "now he's gonna make me change again"
Mikey was drug away by raph who held the box in his arm a smirk on his face
"So raph dresses Mikey?" April asked Donnie who was a blushing mess
"Yeah, he kinda has always had a thing for the way people dress so now he has a human all to himself to dress" Donnie said sighing
"his own human" April muttered images popping in her head that would make the turtles blush and never look at each other or her the same way
Donnie led April into his lab where he tripped over himself and his words for half an hour before raph emerged dragging Mikey behind him
Mikey was dressed in black skinny jeans and a pair of red skate board shoes he wore a red shirt and a red jacket
April smiled brightly he looked so cute her thoughts were cut off when Mikey hugged her then jumped back hiding behind raph again
"He's quite pleased with how soft the clothes are" raph explained his eyes going to his suddenly shy brother
"Let's go skate board raph" Mikey whispered pulling raph by his hand raph sighed but allowed himself to be pulled back into the sewers to where they skate boarded
He just couldn't say no to Mikey especially in his weakened state
