Rise of The Monster! (Raph X Gender Neutral! Reader)

Okay raph. You've totally got this. Just take a deep breath and then ask Donnie for help because there's no way that you can spend a whole evening alone with your crush.

Raph had sucked in a deep breath just as he thought, closing his eyes sitting on his bed. Now what had gotten him so worried? Well if any mind readers had been listening they'd know that raph was incredibly nervous about spending time with his crush.

Which was obviously you.

The two of you planned a Halloween themed night of fun together. Alone. You had suggested making cookies as well as watching scary movies and playing board games. Now poor raph lately could hardly say a word to you. Only able to nod or shake his head in response with a dopey grin stretched far across his face.

You were starting to worry about him. Which was reasonable as he used to be so talkative with you. So before you came today raph decided that he'd go talk to Donnie about his predicament. He had tried talking to his other brothers about it but their advice didn't get him very far.

First raph went to Leo, after all being the face man of the group surely he had some good input. He was the type who knew every pick up line in the book and if there was anyone who could help or raph thought it was leo! (He was wrong.)

Leo's advice led to topics raph had no idea existed. As well as telling him he needed to dress up and impress you going to extreme lengths for your attention.

Raph tried, don't get him wrong he really did. But it didn't go as planned. Dressed in a nice suit one day you had found him in the lair. It was bad timing however as his suit got ruined by poor Mikey who was running with his cup full of paint water. Just as you rounded the corner and saw him the water splashed against the suit.

Needless to say that the plan didn't work and you didn't even realize why he had dressed up in the first place. But you were really kind about it offering to help him get it dry cleaned even though it wasn't your fault. (Gosh he really likes you. You're so thoughtful.)

Then he tried to ask Mikey what to do. The most emotional brother surely has to have some good advice? Or so raph thought. Mikey had just told raph to be himself and not worry so much about trying to impress you because if you really like him for who he is you're already impressed.

It was a sweet sentiment but raph knew better! People like charming men! And well raph didn't think he was all that charming. He did try though, just to appease mind raph and Mikey.

But like all other times since realizing his crush on you he couldn't talk. He'd get tongue tied the moment your (E/C) eyes met his. You were just so interested in what he had to say it made him so flustered.

That left only one brother left to ask for help. So raph figured this was his last attempt before never trying again and hiding from you. He just can't take the way you look up at him with a smile anymore! He swears his heart will burst one of these days.

Raph wasn't entirely sure what donnie could do for him, but it had to be something. Even if it was teaching him a new big word to use in a sentence to maybe impress you.

With another deep breath raph had successfully calmed himself down pushing his body up from the bed. This was going to be easy! Just tell Donnie the situation, if he didn't already know, and then use what he's learned on trying to impress you.

The alligator snapping turtle walking down the hallway twiddling his thumbs together. He felt like a little kid all over again getting up in the middle of the night to ask if he could sleep in his pop's room after a nightmare. (But this was different!)

Donnie's room loomed in front of him, he could hear his brother hard at work in there with the sound of mechanical whirling. Raph didn't have time for pleasantries he only had an hour until you arrived now.
