The tortoise and the.. Spider? // ROTTMNT SHELLSHOCKED

Four - Breakfast.

Mikey awoke from his sleep, He got a good nights sleep for the first time in ages. He yawned and sat up slowly, Swinging his legs off the side of his bed. He picked his blanket up and threw it to the other side of his bed before getting up. He walked towards his door and opened it, Walking out and to the main room. He saw his brothers weren't up yet, So he decided to make breakfast. He yawned and stretched before making his way to the kitchen. He looked in the fridge and freezer for something to cook but he couldn't find anything. Man, Does anyone ever get food around here? Mikey thought before closing the fridge and freezer. He looked in the cabinets for some cereal or really anything, Still nothing.

I guess I'll have to go get food myself.

He sighed before he closed the cabinets and left the kitchen. He ran back up to his room and grabbed a couple things. His phone, A hoodie, A pair of pants, His nunchucks and a couple extra things for safety reasons. He put them all in a backpack and he walked up to the sewer stairs. He climbed up and out of the manhole. I don't remember any grocerie stores being around here. I guess I'll check my map. Mikey thought, He opened his phone and went on Google maps. He searched for a place nearby. He pulled out his nunchucks from his backpack and used them to swing across the city, Making sure they didn't light on fire. He swung and swung before stopping on a building and looking around.

Mikey spotted the store and swung down to the ground, Only to be knocked over by someone swinging in front of him. What the? Mikey thought as he crashed on the ground. "Where the hell did you come from?" Mikey said as he dusted himself off. "You could really get yourself hurt you know." He got up from the ground and looked up.

"Mikey?", "Miles?" They both said in union before starting to laugh. "Watch where you're going next time!" Miles said in between his giggles. "A little too early in the friendship to be pestering me, Dont ya think?" Mikey said as he stuffed his nunchucks back into his backpack. "I don't know how friendships work." Miles said as he stopped giggling and Mikey just stayed quiet. "Where ya headed?" Miles said after Mikey was done with his bag. "Just the store, My brothers are still asleep and I wanted to make breakfast... Buuut, Theres no food left." Mikey said and Miles nodded in agreement.

"How about you? What're you doing up so early?" Mikey asked Miles with a small smile plastered on his face as he kept walking to the grocery store, Miles unknowingly following him. "Patrols," Miles said, Looking at Mikey. "I've gotta get up earlier if I wanna make it before school." He finished, The smile on Mikeys face seemed to fade when Miles got done talking. Miles took notice almost instantly. "Hey, Whats wrong?" Miles asked, Slowing his walking down and turning to Mikey. "Its just... I've never been to school before." Mikey said, Looking down at the ground. "Never been to school! Man you're lucky!" Miles smiled big and laughed a bit, After seeing Mikeys face get sadder he stopped immediately. "You'd think, Hah.." Mikey said quietly. "You never really have the chance to make friends." (I feel this, #homeschooled 🗣)

"Never thought of it that way,," Miles said in a comforting tone. "But hey, You found me!" Miles put a hand on Mikeys shoulder, Patting it softly. Mikey smiled at Miles. "Thanks for cheering me up." Mikey said softly, A small yet warm smile appearing on his face. Miles felt his face get warm at Mikeys soft tone and his smile. Miles immediately pulled his hand away from Mikeys shoulder, Clearing his throat. "You should get going, Huh?" Miles said quickly. "You could come with me?" Mikey suggested, Miles thought for a moment and smiled, nodding in agreement. They kept walking until they reached the store, Mikey pulled his hoodie over his head and put his hands in his pockets, Making sure the people there couldn't see any of his green skin.

He grabbed a basket and so did Miles, Mikey hated pushing around a big buggie, He always thought it was akward. They walked around the store and grabbed the essentials, Cereal, Milk, Chips, Some chocolate, Frozen pizzas, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Biscuits, and some drinks. Mikey snuck in a pack of gum too. They walked up to the register and set the baskets down on the counter, They both backed up and waiting for the person to scan their items. Mikey kept his head down so they wouldn't see. When the person was done they took the bags and baskets, Paying before starting to walk. They set the baskets down where they go and they walked out.
"You think you could come home with me and drop those off?" Mikey asked softly, Trying not to sound forceful. Miles smiled at him.
