Atelophobia [Raphael x Reader]

Chapter Twelve

Raph wasn't really worried until April said that (Y/N) missed two days of school. None of his brothers heard from her, and he was admittedly slightly worried about that, but the fact that she wasn't at school...

He didn't want to think about what could've happened.

He wanted to go check on her, but no one else seemed to worry as much as he did.

They all made lousy excuses, claiming that she's probably just sick and that Raph was just overreacting. Each time one of his brothers said that, he got more and more annoyed.

Eventually, Raphael couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to the person who probably had the most answers.

He didn't want to interrupt Master Splinter's meditation, so he simply sat across from him on his knees. His three fingered hands rested on his legs as he waited for Splinter to speak.

"What is it, Raphael?" He finally asked, not opening his eyes the slightest.

"W-well, Sensei, I'm just sort of worried about (Y/N). April says she hasn't been to school in a while but no one else realizes that she could be in trouble." Raph explained.

"You're worried about her? Normally you would say the person concerned would be able to handle themselves."

"Yeah, but... I don't know, Sensei. She's different."

"Oh?" He opened one eye and raised an eyebrow.

"No! That's not what I meant!" Raph's cheeks turned bright red. "She isn't a kunoichi like April and she's nothing like Casey."

Splinter was about to offer his advise, but Raph continued talking.

"Besides, it's just her and her dad. He doesn't exactly look like he knows how to defend himself, either. So, if the Foot did get ahold of her, there wouldn't be anyone there to protect her." He rambled.

"How long has it been since April has seen her last?"

"She said two days. I'm starting to think they got her."

"Maybe." He said thoughtfully.

Raphael's eyes widened as he stared at Splinter. He couldn't believe he was so calm about this.

"What do you mean maybe?" He demanded, not thinking clearly.

Master Splinter shot his a deadly glare. When Raph quickly bowed his head, he continued on.

"Wait until tomorrow afternoon. If April says she still hasn't come to school, you and your brothers may go check to see if she's okay."

Raphael wanted to ask why they couldn't just go now, but he kept himself from doing it. He stood an bowed. "Thank you, Sensei."

But Raph couldn't bring himself to wait that log. He could only manage to wait until his brothers fell asleep. Raphael quickly snuck out and onto the rooftops.

He was a bit nervous as he rushed from building to building. He just hoped that (Y/N) was okay.

This took a super super long time I'm so sorry. This break has just been awful. There are a lot of problems going on with my grandpa so I don't really have the time to write right now. I'm so sorry this is so short and I swear I'll update when I can
