Author note: I hope you guys are enjoying this fanfic. Let me know if I need to change anything or what I can do to keep them in character. Enjoy! ❤️💜🍕💙🐢

Raph POV:
"Raphie. Oh, Raphie."

Mikey's annoying voice filled my ears, but I refused to open my tired eyes.
I didn't get much sleep even though I was dog-tired from the extra training sessions that Master Splinter was making us do. My mind just wouldn't shut off, even when I tried to relax. So I ended up practice my punches and punishing my punching bag until I passed out on the couch.

I felt Mikey poke me again. I growled with annoyance as I slipped an eye open. His innocent baby blue eyes stared back at me.

"G'd morning dude! Rise and shine Raphie!"

I groaned and pushed him off me.

"Go away Mikey..." I mumbled groggily.

Mikey just smiled back at me with that annoying grin of his. Sometimes his cheerfulness really pisses me off. I still love my little bro, but I think he can be a little too cheerful sometimes. He turns away, and marches toward the kitchen.

"Breakfast in 10 bro! I'm making my special pizza omelet!" He calls over his shoulder.

"Again?!" I yell as I sit up.

I groan as I sat up on the worn out coach. I could feel the beginnings of a headache begin to form from the late night. Groaning again, I made my way towards the bathroom.

Maybe a shower will do the trick and wake me up.

I felt the cool water run down my bare skin as I turned the faucet. Sighing in relief, I stood below the stream for several minutes before turning it to warm and resumed my hygiene.
(HEY! Don't judge! Just because I live in a sewer doesn't mean I have to smell like one!)

I came out about ten minutes later, my headache gone and feeling more energized. I snuck a peak in the dojo before making my way to the kitchen.
Yup, there he was. Fearless was always the first one up either to train or meditate. Today, he was meditating under the tree in the middle of the dojo.

"Hey Leo! Better come back to this universe before we eat all of Mikey's 'breakfast creation." I called.

Fearless gave a slight sigh.

"I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm not that hungry anyway." Leo said

I shrugged before walking into the kitchen. Donnie was already there sipping on his third cup of coffee, or what I assumed to be. I swear I don't know how that Nerd never gets a sugar rush, unlike Mikey, which we learned the hard way.

"Morning Don." I mumbled.

He grunted in response and tinkered with gadgets he brought to the table, while sipping his coffee. Mikey hummed happily as he clanged around making breakfast. The oven went off and he brought his pizza omelet, which is just a pizza folded into a omelet with tongues of eggs and his usual junk he calls food on it. Hey, I can't complain though. What Mikey lacks in brains, he makes up for it in creativity and taste.(tell him I  said that and you'll feel my fist in your face)

"Good morning my sons." Master Splinter greeted us.

"Morning." We answered in unison.

Splinter looked around around, probably noticing Leo was not with us. He said nothing though as he took his place at our makeshift dining table.

I could hear Mickey humming one of his ridiculous and crazy tunes he made up, while he scrapped and banged away making his morning creation. I groaned as the clambering hit my eardrums as my headache decided to come back. Donnie seemed to sense my agony and stopped tinkering to get me done tylonel. I could feel Sensei's worried gaze as he placed a paw on my smooth shell.
