Your back was against the wall of Donnie's lab when heavy thuds came your way, signaling the arrival of Raphael. He stopped right before you and eventually kneeled to see why you were on the ground.
"Everything alright?" He asked grumpily.
You just looked up and nodded, no blush or anything. It was all fake now so what did it matter? If this was all just part of your stupid imagination, you'd be having any of the turtles fall for you at any moment. So there was no need to get all worked up about it.
He got up and turned to leave silently. Before he could go, you grabbed for his fingers. "Hey, Raph?" You asked softly. He peered down at you with confusion. "Could you sit with me on the couch?" Your idea was kind of weird considering anyone could sit on the couch with you. But he just shrugged and sat down near the TV, waiting for you. You got up, dusted yourself off, and plopped down right next to him. The muscular turtle's eyes were staring intensely at the remote.
"Sorry if this is weird. It's just... I need someone to hug." You explained, wrapping your arms around him without hesitation. You could feel his muscles tense up and he froze solid. Then he melted, giving in to the hug and doing the same to you. A snort came out from above you as he retorted your statement. "Seems like ya need that a lot."
A glare from below was all Raph needed to shut up.
His hands moved awkwardly as he didn't know how to properly cuddle with someone. Raph didn't want to embarrass himself or make you uncomfortable. So, he tried to move them to grab your shoulders. However he missed, and ended up accidentally grabbing your neck out of pure nervousness and lack of attention. The look on his face was pure gold.
"Sorry!" He exclaimed, dropping his hands. You felt the deep blush blooming across your cheeks as the sensation of his hands on your neck left. "Uh- don't be."
You two snuggled together, and eventually turned on a movie. After you'd fallen asleep Leo snuck into the room and snapped a photo with his camera, taking it to plaster right in the center of Raph's room.
