Leo looked at me and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Raph, "you've been doing what"

"I have been privately training with master Splinter" I repeated.

Leo frowned, "why didn't you tell us?" He asked clearly puzzled.

I looked down, "I kept it secret out if fear."

Donnie looked up at me, "fear? Of what?"

"You guys"

Raphs eyes widen as he realizes what I was talking about. "Y-you kept it secret because of me, didn't you?"

I looked away, "yeah, yeah I did."

He scowled, "ah fuck. This is all my fault."

"No! No it isn't! I'm the one who kept secrets!"

"Yeah but I'm the reason why you kept secrets!" He insisted.

I growled, angry at Raph for blaming himself. I grabbed his shoulders, "Raph. Look at me, never ever blame yourself for anything. Okay?"

He nodded, shocked by what just happened. I let go, "okay then."

Donnie spoke, "but, what did Raph do?" He asked.

I sat down, "it began when we were only 4 years old...."

~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~

I ran through the sewers, I was playing tag and Raphie is right behind me! I began running backwards and shouted, "you'll never catch me Raphie!" Then I saw him stop, and he screamed at me.

"I don't care! You're just a big old jerk! No one can catch you because you're sooo perfect." I frowned, did I do something wrong? He continued, "well, you're not perfect! Because I hate you! I hate you! I wish you weren't my brother!" I stopped, before turning and running back home.

When I got there, I made a decision. I would be the worst at everything, so that you guys wouldn't have to hate me. But Splinter noticed and we made a compromise, I would train privately, and pretend to be the worst around my brothers.

~~~~~~~~End Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~

I saw tears in my brothers eyes, "omg Mikey I'm so sorry" Raph was the first to speak.

"Oh god, I remember that," I heard Donnie mumble.

Leo just gave me a much needed hug, which the rest of my family soon joined.
