Always Be There

"Uncle! Mercy! Something!"

" 'Tis but a flesh wound' my ass! Let me fix it you idiot!"
"I assure you, Jones, I'm fine! It barely hit me!"
"Says the one who basically just got shot!!"
"It was worth it!"
"To hell it was! You're becoming a Leo!"
"No I'm not! Leo isn't the only one who should be allowed to sacrifice himself for people!"
"Blah blah blah! Come here!"
"No! I can do it on my own!"
"Not if you bleed out everywhere!"
"It's barely bleeding!"

Casey leaped at the terrapin, crashing into the floor as the genius dodged. He stood up again, scowling. "Have you ever looked in a mirror!"
"Yes, actually! It is fine!"
"What the hell is goin' on here?" Raph suddenly appeared in the lab, scowling.
"Oops- did we interrupt somethin' dude?"
"Yeah, actually. Your loud asses caused spike to freak out! Not to mention Leo was whining to me thinkin' I did it!"
"Oops—"
"Yeah. 'oops', why are ya yellin'?"
"Donnie almost let himself get sho—"
The purple clad turtle quickly covered his mouth, scowling at him. "Nothing, just an- accident. We're good, but he's whining about it."
"Yeah, I'm assumin' ya messed somethin' up in the lab?"
Casey picked the scientist's hand, causing him to retract and wipe it on his hoodie.
"Ew! Gross!"
"That's what ya get. Also, he almost pulled a Leo again because of my pops."
"Donnie what did we say about that?!" Raph snapped.
"It was an accident!" Donnie replied, though a much quieter tone.

"He locked me out of my apartment and decided to fight my dad."
"Actually, he decided to pull a gun on me for no reason. I was just trying to have a civil conversation." Donnie scowled.
"Donnie. . What the hell man?!" The red clad turtle yelled. "What is up with you this month?!"
"Heh. . Not sure— but it wasn't my fault this time! He was being a horrible father so I decided to intervene. You would too if you saw your boyfriend's—or in your case, best friend's—father hitting him. He hit him so hard he hit the damn wall for crying out loud. That's how hard the man slapped him."
"The only heroic bridal save I will accept." Casey grinned.
"Did you even check to see if the gun was loaded before fucking fighting the man?" Raph questioned.

"Well, if you count being shot at at least five times 'checking to see if it's loaded', then yes." Donnie retorted.
"Donnie!!"
"Whaaat? I dodged them all, it's fine."
"This dumbass forgot that gun had six slots, so he leaped over the couch and tackled the son of a bitch." Casey stated.
"I miscounted!"
"Not a good time to miscount!" Raph hissed.
"Ah yes, because I can just magically not make a mistake in a life or death situation. Good to know for the future." The genius replied sarcastically.
"Exactly. At least you're gettin' it."
"That was sarcasm, Raphael."
"Oh. I- I know!"
"Sure. Alright bud." Casey snickered.
"Shut up little miss 'damsel in distress'!"
"Hey! I was not a damsel in distress!"
"Says the one who got saved bridal style from your father."

"Less work for me." He grinned.
"Ah yes, make your 'knight in shining armour' do all the work and nearly get SHOT!"
"It. Was. An. ACCIDENT!" Donnie snapped.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. You might wanna get that cut taken care of before your dumbass gets it infected." Raph left.
"I can do it myself, ya know." Donnie huffed as he left, crossing his arms stubbornly.
"Mhm. . Mhm. . COME HERE!" Casey exclaimed, running at him again.
"No!" The terrapin began sprinting, suddenly being tackled and pinned on his shell by the boy. "Get off!"
"No." He grabbed the gauze and the cleaning solution from his pocket, waiting until the genius finally gave up his futile thrashing before beginning to clean the wound. "See, not so bad is it?" He grinned.
"You're lucky I'm still tired from the apartment." He huffed.

"Mhm, anyways." He finished, putting a big bandaid on the cut and patting it. "And a magic kiss to finish it off." He grinned, kissing the bandage and hopping off of the scientist. "There. Happy now?"
He just mumbled something inaudible and looked away, crossing his arms with another huff.
"Awww, is the big baby grumpy?" He teased, setting the supplies onto the desk and sitting beside him.
"No!" He replied.
"Mhm, sure. Anyways what do ya wanna do?"
"Uhh— unsure—"
"Well, until ya are, let's watch some YouTube." He pulled out his phone, unlocking it and tapping the YouTube app.

The two just watched some cat videos for the next hour.

—————

"Alright, well, my phone died. What do ya wanna do"
"Um, want to go spar or something?"
"Bet, I need the extra training anyways." Casey stood, holding a hand out for the genius to take.
He took it, standing and walking to the dojo with Casey.
Once they entered, they walked to the training rack, picking up two training bō's and walking to the mat.
"Ready to lose baby gap?"
"Ha, in your dreams zitface."
"What is up with everyone and calling me that!?"
Donnie grinned, taking the distraction as a sign to strike. He sprinted at him, twirling his bō and knocking the boy down, promptly pinning him.
"Aw no fair!"
"I think it's completely fair. Never let your guard down, especially in the dojo."

"Alright, alright. Round two?"
"Sure." He stepped back, pulling Jones into a stand and walking back to his side of the mat.
"Alright, ya better not hold back, genius."
"If you are sure, hockey boy."
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure."
"Okay. Ready, start."
The two ran at each other, each sidestepping an attack from each other. They went to sweep each other's legs from each other, accidentally slamming their bō into the other's and stunning them both from the impact.
Donnie was the first to recover, promptly pulling the bō up and whacking the boy in the chin.
He reeled back, falling onto his back with an oof. "Ow."
"You okay?"
"Yeah—" He swung the bō at the turtle's legs, causing him to fall onto his shell.
"Ack— that's fair—"

"Heh, not so tough now, huh?" He stood, walking over and resting his bō onto the terrapins plastron.
"Well, you could say that. Hey what's that?" He pointed behind Jones, causing the boy to turn out of curiosity. He snatched Casey's bō, throwing it just out of reach and using his own to knock the boy back. He stood, beginning to hear slow clapping from the entrance of the dojo and turning.
The other three brothers stood against the wall by the doorway, grinning and slow clapping sarcastically.
"Bravo genius, you took down a teenager." Raph rolled his eyes.
"What are you all doing here?"
"Came to see what all of the noise was. Stayed to watch the fight." Leo retorted.
"Kick his ass Casey!" Mikey cheered.

"Will do Mikester." Casey grinned, grabbing his bō and standing in a defense position.
"Mikey!" Leo scowled.
"What? You let raph cuss!"
"Because he won't listen if I tell him not to."
"He's right, y'know." Raph piped up.
"Can you all leave? It's just a simple—" He was cut off, being yanked back by a bō on his neck. He knocked into Casey, who grinned as he held the two ends of the weapon tightly.
"Gotcha!" He joked.
"Ohhh no! I've been caught! Whatever shall I do?" The purple clad turtle replied sarcastically.
"Surrender?"
"No thank you," He grabbed onto the hilt of the bō, which was held against his neck, and quickly lurched forward into a hunched position, promptly sending the boy flying forward and releasing the weapon."I'm good."
"WoAh! Ow!!" He faceplanted into the ground, sitting up and rubbing his nose with a scowl.

"Bro just got dropped by Dee!" Mikey grinned.
Donnie walked forward, shoving the boy down back onto his back with the bō end. He pinned him by his chest using said bō, grinning and crouching down. "Surrender?"
"Not a chance!"
"I've got you pinned, what more could you do?"
"Charm?"
"That only works in movies, hun." He jokingly patted his cheek and stood, removing the bō and walking to the rack to return it to its spot.
"Nah 'cause you see me personally dude—"
"Shut up Mikey!"
"Fine! Rude!"
"Well, while we're here, how about we all train?" Leo suggested.
"I'm down"
"Sure"
"Heck yeah man! I'm going against Casey!"
"Mikey! You always choose me!"
"And you always lose!"
"He's right Zitface."
"Shut it Raph!"
"What did you say?" He walked over, wrapping his arm around the boy's neck and aggressively rubbing his head.
"Ack! I'm sorry! Uncle! Mercy! Something! Help!" Casey yelped, flailing around.

"You're on your own Jones. You brought that upon yourself." Donnie stated.
"Yeah, you should know by now Raph hates being told to shut up." Leo agreed.
"This is funny." Mikey grinned, watching.
"Raph I said sorry man!!"
"And I don't accept the apology."
"My hair! My precious, lovely hair!"
"I don't think you could call that excuse of a mullet, 'precious' and 'lovely'." the genius snickered.

Once Raph finally released him, they all began sparring, each going against Casey specifically, though mostly to make fun of him.

(Sorry it's another crappy chapter, I ran out of ideas for it so it's more of a fun little chapter with them 'bullying' each other (mostly them bullying Casey))
