It was supposed to be a simple normal Friday night, but life isn't always what you are expecting. You went to the turtle's place and you were hanging out with Casey, April and splinter, waiting for the turtles to return from their patrol.

Half an hour later, the boys arrived. You waved at them with a big smile but you remained seated. You looked at every turtle to see if there was any wrong, any wounds or anything. When it was Raphael's turn, he gave you a look saying something like "what the shell are you doing?" You giggled and he walked up to you. Since he was way taller then you, you had to tilt your head a little. He told you about some stuff that happens during the patrol and you joked a bit.

(Bonus: in the corner of the living room was master splinter standing there looking at his children, when April walked next to him and whispered "I think I ship those two", designating you and Raphael and the master nodded)

After a couple of minutes, Mickey proposed to play hide and seek in the sewer. Everybody was pretty enthusiastic about it before you realize that you didn't know the sewers at all. You tried to abandon the project, but they all insisted and Donnie gave you a special GPS with a map of the sewers. Then Leo got out a bag with little papers, the color of the paper determined your team. You got into the hiding team with Leo, Mickey, and April while Raphael, Casey, and Donnie were the searching team. The game was all prepared and the searching team started to count. You started to run looking at the GPS and almost hit a wall.

(Couple of minutes later)

After a while, of walking the eyes absorb by the GPS, you realize that you were in complete darkness, there was only the light glowing from the screen of the GPS. You were getting a bit stressful but you kept walking trying to calm yourself.

But luck wasn't on your side as the GPS's glowing started to fade. You started to panic a bit because there was darkness all over, only waiting for a second of opening to eat you alive.

You heard a snapping sound making you jump. You turned an around but you tripped and dropped the GSP and the glow faded away

Letting the darkness completely full* your senses. You started panicking, you couldn't see anything, you didn't know where you were, and you couldn't feel anything except the pounding of your heart. It was almost as if you couldn't feel the ground, you felt as if there were no boundaries it was just the void. Your heart was beating faster and faster, your breath was going sharper and sharper. Your body instinctively got in fetal position, you were shaking. You felt tears running out of your eyes. There was so much and nothing at the same time. You were sure you were about to die.

Right after this though, you saw a light and someone.

"(Y/n)?" the voice called

"Raph..?" You asked as the light got to you with a short breath

"What happened?" He asked as he ran to you

You weren't able to answer, no sound were coming out of your mouth, and your body needed air so no time to talk.

He got next to you and posed his hand cautiously on your shoulder "its fine… you're safe"

The second he touched you, your body moved on its own. You hugged him, it never happened before, you rarely showed PDA but you were so desperate for something familiar and reassuring. Your head was at the level of his torso. After a minute you felt his hand lightly pat your head.

"Heh … okay lucky, its fine …like…. you are safe... Just breathe..." he chuckling not knowing how to deal with this

After a couple of minutes, you got up.

"What was that?" He asked weirded out

"I have no idea, man "you responded, rubbing your forehead.

You got the GPS back and saw that the battery had died. You walked back with him in an awkward silent.

"Raph? Can you promise me something?" You asked

"Maybe..." he answered

"Nothing happened ok, I'll make an excuse but please don't talk about it..."

"sure, I mean you got a lot of my secret hostage too so it's only fair..."

"Thanks..."

You got back to the lair and gave a gang different story and lectured Donnie about his batteries, to scatter any doubt.

You stayed a bit longer but you were tired so Raphael walked you home. You said goodbye, goodnight and thank him.

In the night, Raphael looked at his hand, it was the first time someone other than his family hugged him. You touched him this small feeling appeared and it was fading slowly, Raphael was confused but he smiled and vanished into the night.
