Older Sibling Reassurance ๐ด๐จ (โค๏ธโ๐ฉน)
Plot
The boys are out on their usual route for patrol until Raph spots Octavia on her rooftop, looking rather upset. He decides to hang back with the cotton candy haired girl and Octavia explains that she had grown more worried for her siblings even if she was far away, so Raph gives her some advice.
The boys were doing their routes for the night as Mikey gave a laugh while he jumped across the rooftops and Leo did the same but with a bit more flare to it using his portals while Donnie had to keep up by using his flight shell which of course left Raph jumping across the rooftops the old fashioned way which he didn't mind, however he picked up something and looked around as he took notice of a familiar figure on a rooftop not too far away.
The figure had cotton candy pink colored hair, there was only one girl that the guys knew who had that kind of hair: Octavia. Raph landed on the rooftop he jumped to and he stopped as Leo had to skid to a stop when he noticed Raph wasn't following them anymore as Mikey and Donnie did the same. "Raph you coming?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, what's the hold up?" Donnie raised a painted brow in confusion about why the red masked brother stopped following them so suddenly.
"You guys go on ahead, I gotta deal with something real quick." Raph said, motioning to head home and Leo arched a brow bone but noticed where Raph had looked too, taking notice of Octavia but understood what was going on.
"C'mon guys." Leo said, he then resumed his way back as Donnie followed while Mikey followed too after looking back at Raph.
"Call us if anything happens..!" Mikey chimed, he then followed after Leo and Donnie as Raph then made his way to Octavia's rooftop and Octavia was sitting on the ledge as she sighed quietly while looking down at the city below, then glancing at a picture she had in her hand. "Are they really okay..?" Octavia mumbled to herself, not knowing someone else was heading to the rooftop.
"Something on your mind via?" Octavia perked up and she looked over to see Raph land on the rooftop as he made his way over to her while Octavia gave a soft hum to herself. "Yeah, just lost in thought I guess.." Octavia said.
"About what?" Raph sat down next to her and he looked at Octavia and she held up the picture for him, Raph softly grabbed it and examined it as he saw the picture was of Octavia and her siblings.
Her older brother Bailey standing next to her, her two twin brothers Max and Danny stood in front of the two elder siblings and the youngest sister Valerie was holding some beautiful flowers while in front of the sibling group.
"Ah, sibling worry huh? Via that's a natural thing." Raph said, he gave the picture back to her and Octavia grabbed it as she tucked the picture away in her pocket with a gentle huff. To her, it was something much different than your usual older sibling worry/concern.
"It's not just that, my siblings wanted me to get out and take in my possibilities. They've supported me on my dream of wanting to be an artist, so I moved here. But, now everyday I'm worried what could happen if I'm not there for them.. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong Raph.." Octavia responded, she pulled one leg up to her chest and held it there for a while as she looked away.
Raph looked at Octavia and he thought to himself quietly but he had been in this position before as he then grabbed a folded up picture he kept himself, he never told his brothers about it, he usually had it tucked away and he held it out for Octavia.
Octavia moved her leg away from her chest and she grabbed the picture as she unfolded it, seeing it was a picture of Raph and his brothers as turtle tots.
"Is this you and your brother's from when you were little?" Octavia asked, she was surprised how much differently the guys looked as tots but thought that they all looked adorable in their own way.
"Heh, yeah. And dealing with those three as tots wasn't a cakewalk, I'll tell ya that much via." Raph said, he chuckled quietly but smiled as he remembered the few times his brothers would have to be on constant watch to avoid being in danger or unknowingly did dangerous things.
He remembered the last time he let one of his brothers out of his sight and it wasn't exactly pretty to look at, plus his brothers would cause a lot of chaos for their dad as tots.
"You're kidding!" Octavia exclaimed, she looked at Raph and then back at the picture as her expression shifted into one mixed with surprise and understanding.
"Whoa.. you must've learned a thing or two having to care for them growing up." Octavia said, she tucked a stray strand of her hair behind her ear while she examined the photo in her hands.
"Yeah, I did. And trust me Octavia, there's something you gotta know too." Raph said, he looked at her and Octavia looked up from the photo with confusion and uncertainty. "What?" Octavia questioned, Raph gently patted Octavia's shoulder with one hand and he smiled softly at her.
"You're doing great." Raph said, he knew from experience that every older sibling had their fair moments of doubt or feeling like they weren't doing everything right do he wanted to make Octavia feel like she was doing everything perfectly in her own way of course.
Octavia was shocked and she teared up a bit as she hugged the snapper, Raph hugged her back and he comforted Octavia as he was glad that Octavia felt a lot better with comforting reassurance that her methods of caring for her siblings were great the way they were, even if she wasn't physically with them.
