Raph watched Mikey skate around the parking lot a smile on the blonde's lips as he made a particularly hard trick with no troubles what so ever
"BOYAKASHA" Mikey shouted loudly flipping through the air and landing back on his skate board "you're up dude beat that"
Raph rolled his eyes and did the trick to his best ability, but he was heavier so it didn't turn out as well as mikey's and he wound up sitting on the ground rubbing his head
"That was horrible raph" Mikey said laughing as he flopped beside his older brother
"Whatever pinky" raph muttered faking anger
"Hey raphie do you think I'll actually get better?" Mikey asked voice hardly above a whisper
Raph turned to his brother who was looking up at the starry night, a faint smile on his lips, raph sighed and looked up too
"Does it matter that much if you go back to a turtle?" Mikey turned to raph "heck you're the same as you were the only difference is you're a human instead of green freak, I see no problems" raph looked at Mikey smiling
"You can go see people and have a normal life if you wanted, like April and Casey" raph saw mikey's eyes widen as though he hadn't even thought of it
"y-you mean it won't matter to you?" Mikey whispered his voice holding shock
"Look Mikey like I said before your my baby brother that won't ever change" raph stood smiling confidently at Mikey as he held his hand down to help him up
"r-raph thank you" Mikey whispered letting himself be helped up
"Look at the stars Mikey, ain't they pretty?" raph said softly his eyes glimmering
"Yeah"
Mikey reached over and slipped his hand into Raph's big one the older turtle looked down then shook his head and smiled he squeezed mikey's hand before letting his eyes go back up to watch the heavens glitter and sparkle like a snow globe
Raph felt his protect brother side kick in and he pulled Mikey a bit closer to keep him warm, the younger boy smiled in thanks and leaned against raph eyes still on the sky above
They stood together watching the stars for half an hour before raph gently pulled Mikey home
Leo paced the living room hands behind his back forehead furrowed
"Whatever dude I totally beat you" mikey's voice called loudly, Leo's head snapped up and he caught sight of Mikey and raph jumping the gate into the lair
"No you didn't, I wasn't trying to beat ya" raph growled throwing his skate board in the corner with Leo and Donnie's
"Five missed calls a dozen text!" Leo growled trying to keep control of himself "where the heck have you two been" Leo shouted his calm facade breaking
The oldest marched up to the youngest two and he glared at them making a look he only used on them in the worst times
"What do ya mean fearless?" raph asked shrugging his shoulders and rolling his eyes
"We went out skating dude" Mikey said looking to the floor as though it held life answers
"You didn't tell me you didn't tell don you didn't even tell April" Leo shouted getting dangerously close to Raph's face
"Back off Leo" raph growled his green eyes finally meeting Leo's blue ones
"Why didn't you answer your phone raph?" Leo said his voice low and gruff
"I forgot it here"
Leo turned to Mikey glaring down at him
"And you Mikey? You never leave your phone" Leo said
"i-I" Mikey stuttered still not looking up
"You what Michelangelo?" Leo demanded
"I-I broke it when I fell skating today" Mikey whispered his eyes slightly teary
Raph looked at Mikey and felt his stomach drop, the boy was about to break down and Leo was still going at him, the kid couldn't help it
Raph shoved Leo harshly and pushed Mikey behind himself
"That's enough Leonardo" raph shouted his voice carrying all the way to where splinter sat meditating
"Cant ya see he's about to cry?" raph growled reaching behind himself and grabbing mikey's hand he felt the boy trembling
"I'm sorry Mikey" Leo said sighing in defeat he stood from where he had fallen to the ground.
The oldest son walked past raph and pulled the quivering Mikey into his arms, the boy stood for a minute before throwing himself on Leo his trembling calming slightly
"I was so worried about you two" Leo whispered stroking mikey's back gently
"I'm sorry Leo" Mikey whimpered leaning against his brother's strong frame
Raph sighed gently and pulled his brothers into his arms they both leaned heavily against him, mikey's arm wound around his waist
"It's okay guys" raph whispered reassuringly, his strong arms surprisingly gently when wrapped around his brothers
"Guys guess who has a date" Donnie shouted running out of his lab arms in the air
His excitement died down when he saw his brothers in the middle of a group hug
"What happened?" Donnie asked going into panic mode. His eyes traveling over them looking for injures or anything else that could cause alarm.
Mikey gently pulled out of the hug walking meekly over to Donnie he held out his smashed t-phone.
"i-I kinda tripped and broke it" Mikey whispered guilt lining his eyes Donnie sighed in relief pulling his baby brother into his arms
"Geez don't worry about it Mikey" Donnie said chuckling softly
"Thanks d" Mikey said still feeling guilty even though he was reassured by all of his brothers
"Hey Mikey come on let's get dinner made" raph said gently pulling Mikey into the kitchen.
"What are we going to make" Mikey asked loudly
"How about we make pizza" raph suggested causing Mikey to squeal girlishly
"You're the best dude" Mikey shouted
The brothers and their sensei all sat at the table eating the pizza Mikey and raph had struggled over.
"It kinda looks…" Donnie started but couldn't seem to find the right words so he simply shoved the disgusting looking pizza into his mouth
"Well it really different from normal pizza" Leo said poking the greenish surface with his finger, his eyes went up to Mikey and raph who were shoving it into their mouths Mikey playing on Raph's t-phone and raph watching over his shoulder
"Come on Mikey ya got this" raph said all of a sudden
"Dude chill I know" Mikey said smiling his eyes glittering stinkerishly
"My sons I'm afraid you won't be going on patrol tonight" splinter said biting into his pizza cautiously
All four brothers' heads snapped up at the same time
"But master splinter that's not fair" Donnie cried
"It will snow tonight Donatello, you all know it's too dangerous for you to go out in the cold weather" splinter stood frowning rubbing his beard thoughtfully
"But sensei" they all whined at once
"You will not go out" splinter snapped "that is final"
"Yes master" Leo muttered quietly his eyes falling back on the table in a way that was as close to pouting as Leo ever got
The boy all went back to eating sad looks on their faces as they thought of the winter ahead and how much time they would be forced to spend inside
Mikey slowly lifted the game back up and began playing raph went back to watching him but with a lot less enthusiasm than before
