Atelophobia [Raphael x Reader]

Chapter Four

Raph disagreed with the idea completely. He thought that (Y/N) needed space. She wanted to leave anyway, so why would she want to come back?

That's why he was completely caught off guard when she said she would go with them.

"Wait. You're serious?" He questioned.

She nodded. "Unless you don't want me to. I can stay."

"No. We want you to." Leo said, offering her a hand after shooting Raphael a look. "Come on."

(Y/N) took Leo's hand and let him carry her up to the rooftops. Raph followed behind him quietly.

He didn't understand why everyone was so worked up about her. Okay, so the Foot Clan wanted her. Yeah, that was a big deal, but she didn't have to live with them. She barely even had an entire night to herself, (Y/N) needed space, didn't she?

They made it to the lair quicker than what Raph would've imagined. Maybe he was too wrapped up in his thoughts to realize he was going down into the ground and into the sewers, but whatever the reason, he was there now, and so was (Y/N).

"Are you hungry?" Leo asked her as she sat down on the couch.

She shook her head and hugged her arms close to her.

Raph could tell that she was still nervous around them, but at least she was trying to hide it. Though, she wasn't very convincing. She looked a lot less uncomfortable than the night before, though.

"Are you sure?" Asked Donnie. "We have ramen if you don't want pizza."

"It's okay. I'm not hungry."

"Okay, more for me." Mikey said happily as he went into the kitchen.

Leo sighed at Mikey's comment. "Are you gonna be okay alone for a second?"

(Y/N) nodded.

Donnie and Leo gave her one last look over before going in the kitchen, too. Raph simply left with them.

"Why are you guys so serious about her?" He asked curiously.

"Dude, the Foot's chasing her. That's some serious stuff." Mikey said through a mouthful of pizza.

"You don't think we should be looking out for her?" Leo asked.

"No, I do." Mumbled Raph. "I'm just wondering... You know, what if her dad wakes up, or something, and she's not there? He didn't look like the kind of guy to be okay with his kid sneaking out in the middle of the night."

"It'll be okay. We'll have her back early, like last time." Said Donnie.

Raph grabbed a slice of pizza. "I know, but all I'm saying is-"

"It's okay, Raph." Leo assured, heading back out with (Y/N). "She's safe here. From The Foot and anyone else."

"Yeah, stop worrying about your girlfriend." Mikey said as he passed by.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Not yet."

Raph groaned and went back with everyone else.

(Y/N) hadn't moved from the last time he saw her. She was in the same place, curiously examining the lair. Her arms were still pulled close to her, she was still in the same spot on the couch.

In the spot where Raph usually sat.

Normally, he would've told whoever it was who sat in his spot to move, but he decided to let her stay where she was. Instead, he walked over to Mikey and pushed him off of the couch and sat where he was.

Mikey didn't even seem to mind. He just rolled over on the floor to continue watching Space Heroes.

What a stupid show.
