into the real word - Raph x reader/oc

12-"I could die here and I'd be a happy man"

I look at him trying to not laugh "I don't need to tell her anything, it's not like she would care anyways" I say the last part a bit lower "and I was planning on running away for years, you have no idea how bad is to live with my Ma" I say making vague hand gestures, after a moment of akward silence he asks
"So that's why you were shaking that other day? Damn, I'm happy that you could come here with me and my bros then" his voice sound more serious than normal, that's kinda worryingly

"Same, guess that dreams can come true" I say smiling like a dork while thinking of me and Raph
"Aww you're blushing, that's so cute! You're thinking of Raph isn't it?" He asks teasing me
"Heey I'm not cute! You are! " I shot back while pointing a accusatory finger at him,  then we start talking about life and such; mostly about mine;

"Well, my mom and dad had me at a young age, something close to 16 if I'm remembering right, they didn't even planned me tho, so I was right the whole time, I'm the living proof that mistakes exist!" I say in a fake happy tone
"But anyways, my mom got separated from my dad and my Ma had to take care of me, Idk when it happened, but she started abusing me and hitting me for anything, I had several depression because of that and tried to kill myself one time, but when I was bleeding I saw that there was still someone that cared about me and took care of my wound so I wouldn't bleed to death before searching for a therapist, then I found Ka by someone of my class and had therapy for 2 years now, this month is the last one I'm in therapy and I think I'm ready to face the works without the help of a therapist! I think that's all i have to say about my life tbh" I say all of that while making exagered hand gestures

"Wow, I really wished your life wasn't that bad, but what matters is that you're ok now duddete!" Mickey says in his usual happy tone
"True true, also, can you just call me dude? Like, in the masculine" I request and he nods "sure sure, you're trans or something?"
"Actually, yes, Pan and trans to be more exact" I say then the timer of the oven do a 'ding!' sound when the pizza is done, I open it and take the pizza off of it with help of some dishcloth, I put the pizza kn the table and look at it proudly

"Damn dude, it looks amazing!" Mickey says patting my back  and I nod in agreement "Guys! The pizza is done!" I scream to the boys while I take some plates for us all, the boys and Master Splinter come to the kitchen and sit on the seats of the table, they get some slices of the pizza while saying how good it looks and smells, when they're about to eat I say in a rushed and nervous tone
"Wait a minute! I know that the speech thing-y only works on movies and such, but I have something to say to you all" they all look at me surprised and Mickey pats my shoulder trying to make me feel a bit more confident, I smile at him

"I'd like to say that I'm really happy that I got the chance to meet you all and live here, I thought that life would be boring, repetitive and that I would be just another nobody in the world, but then I met you and felt like things would be different, that life would finally be fun and interesting.. I'm really happy to be with you and call you all family" I finish while smiling like a dork and Mickey pulls me in a hug while pretending to cry
"Dude that was beautiful-" I laugh a bit while hugging him back, then I feel more contact and when I see we're in a group hug

"I could die here and I'd be a happy man" I say in a joking tone while appreciating the hug, after we separate we eat the pizza while chatting about various things

Wishing for them to be with me was the best thing i could ever have done in my life..

I didn't even think while writing the speech, I just let my mind go wild in that part and woah, it worked!
