Raphael's POV:

I don't understand what happened between me and Leo.. one second we're perfectly fine and the next he just begins to give me the cold shoulder...

It's been a few days since me and Leo had that fight, but he still hasn't talked to me at all, and it's beginning to worry me. I mean, it's so dumb. Why would I still have feelings for Mikey? He and I just didn't work out because we were too different for eachother.

Suddenly, Leo barged into our room and sat down on the opposite end of me in a couch.

"Hey... Are you feeling better?" I asked, concern lingering in my voice, floating up to the atmosphere to fill the void of complete and utter silence.

He shrugged, and looked at me. His eyes not having the same shine they did before. Something must have gotten into him, right?

"I wanted to apologize for my irrational behavior last time. That's all." He said, coldly. His expression remained emotionless, and his tone was almost tinged with a bit of jealousy and anger.

"I still...don't understand where you got that I loved him." I asked him, trying to mimic his unnerving emotionless state so I could hide that I was almost about to start crying.

"That's not important." He asked, shifting his gaze from my eyes to his hands.

Finally. Some emotion.

Leo sighed and looked up once again at my eyes. A smile warmly crawled up unto his face. I couldn't tell if it was a forced smile or not...but regardless it was still a smile I loved so much. I smiled back, my teeth showing from how hard I was smiling.

Leonardo's POV:

raph was smiling at me, but somehow.. it didn't bring back any of my usual lovey-dovey feelings for him. ever since he and i had that argument, my feelings have been completely dormant.

the smile that i gave raph was an extremely forced one. he looked so sincerely sorry and inside i knew he wouldn't go and break my trust like that.

but something else told me he's lying. "he's cheating on you." is what it always tells me. of course, ever since this one specific night:

a few weeks ago, i had an extremely weird dream. it took place in the sewers, our old home. i was laying in my room and all i felt was remorse. which was strange, because why would a dream start like that?

anyways, after feeling my remorse go away a bit, i walked out of my room, possibly to just ignore what happened, when i saw raph and mikey kissing and hugging and all of that shit.

somehow, it felt like that was an indicator of what's to come in the future. i knew it was so silly inside but something about it made my trust for raph shatter, and therefore maybe my feelings have been dormant for the sole reason that if he does break my heart, then i wont feel anything. which i guess is pretty nice.

but he wouldn't break my heart and his promises to me like that. i know. i just don't know how to begin feeling things again.
