Time And Change

Hang Out

You and Raph get to the pizza place and its just awkward silence. He orders your favorite pizza which makes you smile you end up staring at him up and down cause how changed he looks. He looks nothing of how he use to look he was more energetic and happy looking when you last saw him he then turns back to you and you look away quickly. You hope that he didn't catch you staring to creep him out you feel his big hands touch yours you look up and see him smiling at you which makes you blush a little he says with a warming look "Y/n its been such a long time since we hung out hasn't it?" You say while smiling at him back "y-yeah it has actually..to be honest i miss it" He blushes a little with a surprised look on his face and you look down and he still has your hand in his its just silence while you stare at his. You try to break the silence by saying "Wow raph your hands are so big compared to mine" raph then says with a shocked look on his face "W-What? Are my hands really that big?" He moves them away quickly looking sad he then mumbles under his breath "i've always been self conscious about my hands i never knew you didn't like them y/n.."  You realize what you said made him sad and quickly try to make him feel better "Raph! I didn't mean it that way!" He looks at the ground sadly while his hands are ticked between his legs and you try to come up with something to boost his confidence "Raph please i didn't mean to offend you i like your hands there's nothing wrong with them being big if they were smaller it wouldn't look right since your so muscular"  Is sad look slowly turns into a big smile which makes you smile he says " Thanks y/n your so sweet" The person comes with the pizza and you both drool soon as you see it

Time skip (after you eat the pizza)

You and raph both walk the street at night heading back to your house It was raining and you both was under an umbrella and yet again it was awkward silence and you hated that you were gonna break the silence until he says something "Today was good huh?" You look at him and smile a bit "Yeah today was good its been awhile since we last hung out and you still eat your pizza like you haven't ate its years"  "Yup i still have that habit a habit that i should try to avoid"  "Don't avoid it..please" Raph looks over to you and you have a sad look on your face. "I don't....I don't want you to change too raph.."  You start to cry and he holds your hand tightly which makes you look at him he has a worried look on his face and he gets closer to you "Y/n..? What's wrong? Did something happen why are you crying? Who ever made you sad i will kill for you just tell me his name i will send people out to find this person"  You look at him with a scared look" Its nothing raph you don't have to kill anyone for me haha plus i don't want to talk about it" he looks at you with a really sad and concerned look "i..."   "Look im at home today was great raph thank you so much that was just what i needed" He looks at you with a gentle smile he turns to walk away but then you run and hug him from behind tightly he gasp a little and you start to cry "Thanks again raph your the only friend who haven't changed" and before he could turn around you run into the house and lock your door. "At least this day took my mind off the fact that he kissed her ha..raph is a ninja he should be able to turn me around fast enough before i could see he tried to cover up the truth and for that i am very grateful"

The next day..

You get up and do your every morning routine you go downstairs and make you a cup of coffee and scroll through your phone. You feel like someone is watching you and you turn around but no one is there you turn back around and see mikey he's close to your face and you gasp in shock and try to punch him but he jumps back he then says with a smirk on his face "Wow you would really hit your bestie like that im surprised y/n Ha"  "YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO REACT LIKE THAT?! WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?!"  His smirk gets bigger and turns into a big smile he says nothing to you and goes into your fridge and starts eating your left over fruit salad and sits on your counter. You get irritated and cross your arms and stare at him until he notices that he's not wanted in your house. You roll your eyes and say "Mikey please get out of my house you just can't break in here its creepy" He looks at you with a fake sad look "Awww cmon bestie don't you miss me its been a couple of years we only talk to each other threw a phone i should be welcome here riiiiigghhhtt?"  He proceeds to eat and walks to your couch and turn on the tv you notices that his eyes are red and you realize that he's been smoking pot "Mikey have you been smoking what i think you've been smoking?" He looks at you and smiles again "Maaaaaaaybe hehe"  you look at him annoyed and walk over to him and smell him he smells like weed and alcohol you quickly back up away from him. He looks at you with a irritated look and he angrily says " WELL SO WHAT IF I DRINK AND SMOKE IM 19 ITS LEGAL RIGHT? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! WHY WOULD YOU CARE ANYWAY?"  You turn around and head to the bathroom and lock it. You think to yourself "mikey..? Drinking and smoking? That's not like him at all people like that usually end up in jail or worse..Dead.."  You start to cry and wipe off your tears you go to open the door but Mikey is infront of you you gasp and look at the ground you say "You know..you should stop popping up like that its creepy"  You see drops of tears and look up to see mikey eyes full of tears "Y/n...im sorry i started d-doing this when i was 16 cause of stress and the smoking and drinking made me feel better about myself and the situation"  wipe his tears and you get curious to what was going on "Mikey what happend? What situation?"  His crying gets worse and he falls to his knees "A year ago someone..blew up the sewers and splinter died i thought you knew.." You gasp and start to cry along with him. You had no idea no one told you you felt really bad cause you wasn't at his funeral and haven't supported them.
