Mikey's POV
Raph seems a pit off today, maybe it's just me but if even I am recognizing something's off then something must really be off. Whenever I prank Raph, he doesn't jump in fright anymore, instead, I think he's actually flinching in fear. And it's so unlike Raph to be afraid. To be honest... It scares me a little. If Raph's afraid, then there must be some terrifying force. I wonder what's going on. Why he's acting this way. Everyone's sending secret messages back and forth in glances. Our eyes ask questions to each other like, "What's wrong with Raph?","Is he okay?","Do you know why he's acting this way?".
Master Splinter calls us for training and normally Raph would be the first into the dojo, ready to kick shell, but his face turns whiter than Leo's teeth! (And we all know Leo has whiter teeth than the sparkling snow.)
Leo walks in stride with Raph to the dojo, but Raph's gaze just falls on the ground, we haven't really gotten a good glimpse of his face all day like he's avoiding us or at least our eyes.
"You feeling okay Raph?" Leo asks, concern clear in his voice. Just as clear as the fact that those two clearly have a thing. I'm not judging, cause I got my own crush, and it's funny to watch Raph blush sometimes, it's also really fun to poke fun at. I like making Raph chase me, I don't know what's so fun about it, bout having a new bruise added to me every time I bug my older brother but, it's our bond, our relationship, our way of communicating I guess. I don't know if that makes sense, shell I don't know if half of anything I see, do, say, hear or feel makes sense. I don't really know if anything at all makes sense! But I just find that funny!
Giggling I skip up beside Donnie.
"Hey Donniepoo!"
Donnie smiles at my nick name for him. I'm so good at naming stuff.
"Hey Mikey."
I sorta become serious for a moment, "Do you know what's wrong with Raph? He seems really... I don't know... You know?" Donnie chuckles a little, making a slight blush creep across my face like when I spill strawberry milk on my hands, the inkish stuff sorta stains my hands for a couple days, that's the colour, or what I imagine it looks like. That's what it looks like when Donnie blushes, but it's SUPER cute! Even cuter than Icecream Kitty! And even a blind dude could see Icecream Kitty is the cutest thing ever! (But Donnies cuter!) hehe!
"I'm not actually too sure." Don starts, his hand resting on his chin as his face screws up in thought. I gasp. A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!
My purple masked bro catches me staring in awe and the strawberry milk blush stains his face.
"Geez Mikey... S-stop looking at me that way." His blush darkens to a colour more like Raph's mask as he stutters, I feel the heat bubble up to my cheeks.
"S-sorry Donnie." Quickly my gaze launches elsewhere before he can see my blush so deep I swear it's actually the colour of a strawberry! Not just strawberry milk. Cause strawberry milk is always lighter than an actually strawberry, and sometimes there's different shades of red, even pink! Sometimes they have this little white part at the top around the green leaf. Hmmm... Now that I think about it, the green is sorta like Donnies skin shade. Though sometimes the leaves are different colours of green. Ugh I'm making my own head hurt. So many colours!
"Raph's been really distracted today, maybe it's just an off day, we all have em." Donnies hand comes to rest on my shoulder, his skin sending tingles of adrenaline absorbing into my skin and pumping into my bloodstream. His smile makes my heart do a double take, my tail wagging despite my efforts but I feel myself giving in, I want to feel this way.
"Thanks Donnie!" Without really even knowing what I'm doing, in fact I never really know what I'm doing, but who needs to know anyway?!?, I launch myself into him, embracing him as my head nuzzles his chest.
"Thank you too Mikey..." To my surprise, his long arms come around and caress me in such welcoming warmth I want to stay like this forever. Leo interrupts us. Really Leo?!? I'll get back at him for it later, ruin the moment between him and Raph or something. Hehehe...
"Come on lovebirds, to the dojo."
Strawberry milk, the colour of both mine and Donnies faces. Strawberry milk... I love Strawberry milk!
