Donnies pov:
Everyone in this family has problems or at least had, Raph has anger issues, leo has a pretty bad stress problem, I have a bad self estyme problem and mikey......well I wouldn't say him being childish is a problem after all he is a child the others just don't see it for some reason like I do.
But I have been observing everyone lately to help with there physical and mental problems I guess it just comes with the job of the "genius" but I do find myself looking at mikey more recently he's been a bit...off, he doesn't talk as much, he doesn't bounce on walls anymore, and it's almost like he stiffens when people enter a room.....what is he up to?
Mikeys pov:
Laying on my bed starting at the ceiling not bothering anyone, not talking to anyone,....not....bothering anyone? I was never bothering anyone but it's like he just sitting down watching TV would cause a issue. I'm just tired of being yelled at over nothing I'm really tired.
Hearing a knock on my door I stiffen God do they have to talk to me...ok that's sounded rude and I don't want to be rude "who is it?" I say standing in front of my door.
Donnies pov:
Entering mikeys room I eminently I noticed his poster he looked like he was faced to face with a stranger he couldn't trust, I noticed this behavior all too well. When he met leather head, snake, purple dragons, all of them he had the exact same stans his shell was hunched just the slightest, his head was up and he kept an eye on my hands as if they where unpredictable.
"Hey mikey we're all in the lab discussing our next plan, leo wants you."
Mikey pov:
I sigh rubbing my eyes going towards the lab. Entering the lab I look at my surroundings carefully slowly taking steps to make sure I don't mess anything up somehow. Sitting at the table I stare at the paper as my brother's discusses the plan. They wouldn't want my input on anything I'm too stupid, they think I'm stupid, BUT IM NOT but of course I can't say that to there's face they'll laugh at me, tell me I'm useless.....my heart starts to speed up a bit as I try to zone out more avoiding eye contact as if I where in a cage full of rabid dogs.
Leo's pov:
Discussing plans for the attack, I'm making direction, orders, and other leader stuff "raph can you get me another marker?" Donnie asked tossing the old one away as raph groaned and left to go get one. That's when I noticed mikey, head down staring at the paper I always noticed he barley said anything at theses sessions or anything at all, but I can tell by the look on his face that he definitely wanted to. I also noticed a strange pattern if he was talking to someone and the show the smallest sighn of being done with the conversation he shuts up eminently.
I realized that I was taking something from mikey that a leader should give, A voice, I was straining him from his voice his freedom to speak on anything. If he was silent here what else has he been silent about and why?
"Mikey do you have anything to say" Mikey looked at me a little confused "i-um......so I was....thinking-" he muttered out as he explained a.....actually pretty good idea, sure there was some holes here and there and big probabilities but it was a good plan. I can tell he loosened up more cause he started talking more like himself, but then raph walked in and gave him a glare and he eminently shut up it was almost shocking how a glare from someone can shut someone so passionate so fast.
I glare at raph a but "what did I miss" he said hunching over the table, I was about to explain what mikey just said to me and donnie but to my surprise "nothing" Donnie replied and I looked at him crazy then look at mikey who was once again curled into himself just listening.
I was gonna fix this
Donnies pov.
It's most likely that mikeys current behavior is due to the fear of embarrassment or anxiety....around his family? Shivers go down my spine thinking mikey was afraid of us. So I headed to the kitchen to see mikey listening to music cooking himself something "Hey mikey" I smile at his but he get started and pulls his headphones off "oh hey dee what up did you want some?" He smiled but he did seem a little scared .
"Have you read any recent comics?" I ask grabbing a cup of coffee and took a seat on the other side of the counter "um yea" Mikey replied as his eyes lit up and started babbling about some sort of food monster, as doing so he must have realized that he was talking a bit too much but u nodded him off to keep going.
Raphs pov:
I walk into the living room to see mikey, he didn't notice me so I just sat down on the couch and bagn to read a comic and I let out a loud sigh getting comfortable mikey definitely noticed that, he gives me a frightened look but turns back to the TV. But now his posture was stiff and he had a small frown on his face.
Mikeys pov:
Oh godddd did I do something wrong? What did I do? Witch was a general question because I don't think I did anything wrong. Why am I feeling so anxious
I can't be here
I get up and walk to my room cowardly laying in my bed once again I'm. So. Tired.
