3rd Persons POV

The next morning Mickey was the first awake, per usual. He immediately made his way to the kitchen, clutching his growling stomach gingerly as he searched the cabinets for any type of edible substances, which varied depending on how hungry he was. Yet, despite his best efforts, he came up empty handed.

"How is there no food in this whole house?!!" he whispered frustratedly, his stomach emitting a low growl of defeat as he retreated to Leo's room at the end of the hall to ask for guidance in his crisis.

Carefully, Mickey creeped down the hall, past his brothers rooms and their guests, to his oldest brothers room, pushing the door open ever so slowly to keep from making any noise. Being a ninja, quiteness was Mickey's speciality,

well, kinda.

"LEO WAKE UP WE ARE OUT OF FOOD!!!!!!" Mickey screamed into his sleeping brothers ear, just barely missing a swipe at his head.

"Mickey what the hell--??" Leo groaned, rolling his eyes and rubbing his face heavily with the palms of his hands.

"I'm hungryyyy, and we are all out of food," Mickey whined, cradling his stomach like a child, sticking out his bottom lip.

Leo stared at his brothers childish face for a moment before taking into consideration the long couple days have had an effect on him as well as everyone else and decided to let his anger go.

Leo sighed, "Alright, Mickey, i'll run to the store." Leo swung his feet over the side of his bed. Mickey jumped in excitement and sprung out into the hallway, nearly running into a half asleep (y/n) who had just leaned out of her bedroom to see what all the commotion was about.

Leo caught her eye and sent an apologetic look before raising to his feet and grabbing a few supplies for his run.

Curious, (y/n) wondered down the hall and leaned casually in Leo's doorway,

"Where are you off to?" she inquired, watching as he reached behind his head to fasten his dark blue bandana over his forehead.

"The market, I guess we are out of food,--"

"again" (y/n) and Leo said at the same time, to which they both laughed for a moment.

"Well would you like some company?" (y/n) asked, brushing her tangled mess of hair behind her ear softly, Leo obviously wanted nothing but for (y/n) to join him but he needed time to think, and didn't want to risk her safety, even if it was just a five minute drive down the road.

"No, that's alright, you get some more rest, ill be back soon." He stated blandly, pushing past her and down the hall.

"Oh, okay," (y/n) said softly to herself, shuffling back into her room and lying back on her bed, staring at the fan above her head spin around and around and around for what felt like forever, listening to the sounds of the woods outside her window begin to wake up.

By the time Leo had gotten back, everyone except Casey had left their rooms and was either visiting in the kitchen or watching Mickeys favorite show in the livingroom.

"Hey guys i'm back," Leo grunted, hauling two armfulls of grocery bags full of food and supplies fro the group. Just the sight of all the food and equipment brought tears to the teens eyes, a sample of what used to be normal to them, which seemed so long ago now.

"I hope i got everything--"

"FroZEN pIzzA?!?!!!" Mickey cried, holding six frozen pizzas in his hands, falling to his knees in front of Leo and thanking his brother over and over. The group laughed and began unloading the groceries, feeling once again at home.

Raph had retreated to the training room the turtles had added to Aprils cabin a month or two ago, hurling punches at a practice dummy until its mutilated figure fell to the floor, grainy dirt spilling onto the molded floor boards.

Dummy after dummy crashed to the floor in a gruesome pile of chaos. Limbs stretched further than they were meant to be, some thrown across the floor; sand covered the surface of the floor boards that reached just about every corner of the tiny room.

It only took a good forty-five minutes before Raphs punches began to slow to a steady decline, then he began to bawl.

His shoulders shook violently as tears rolled down his cheeks; he burried his face in his hands, sliding his back against the wall furthest from the door and just cried. He cried for (Y/n), for himself, for his sensei, and his brothers.

Brothers.

Leo.

Raph began to become angry again.

It was Leo's fault.

If he wasnt there, (Y/n) would for sure love him, it was all Raph wanted, was for (Y/n) to love him and for Leo to be gone.

'What am I thinking? I dont want that! Leo is my brother!' Raphs better judgment argued against him, he felt as if two sides of his head was against each other, and it gave him a splitting headache.

"Hey Raph, are- are you alright?" (Y/n) eyes filled with worry the second they laid upon Raphs tear-stricken face. She rushed forward and fell by his side, wrapping her arm around his shoulder.

"Is everything alright? What can I do?" She spoke softly, rubbing his shoulder soothingly, her bright eyes trained into his. He stared right back, his tears long gone, he was so lost in her beautiful, (e/c) eyes. He couldnt help it, it was almost subconscious, the way he thrust his lips into hers, clashing against her rosy, strawberry lip gloss.

She was suprised at first, but Raph didnt notice. He lifted his hand and placed it on her cheek, kissing her sweetly, before pulling away just as fast, studying her face to find any type of reaction, anything at all,

But she was silent.

Barely even blinked, her eyes wide open, her mouth slightly ajar, her lip gloss smeared just the tiniest bit over her upper lip, and Leo in the doorway, just as stunned.
