Hospital Love

The Crush

The next day when Raph and Leo came to the hospital, they didn't go straight to their father's room, they went to their father's doctor who was the brother of the person they were trying to find. They found him quite quickly. "Mr Hamato, is there something wrong?" the doctor asks with concern.

"No, we were just wonderin' if ya knew where Mikey was." Raph states with a friendly smile.

"So, you're the one he was telling me all about." He said with  what could only be described as a knowing smile. "He's with the elderly people upstairs at the moment. He should be down soon. Would you like me to give him a message for you?" He asks with a friendly tone of voice.

"That's very kind of you, but I think this is something we need to discuss with him face to face." Leo told the doctor, hoping he wasn't coming across as rude in any way.

"If this is about asking him to get someone to laugh or smile, he'd be more than happy to. He normally does it anyway without anyone's permission. Howwver, when your father arrived I told him not to go there unless given permission. No offence or anything, but you just didn't seem like the kind of people that would allow that. Usually Mikey doesn't listen to me and goes anyway, but he did this time." He explained, hoping the boys wouldn't get offended in anyway.

"Well, when he's finished ya can tell 'im he can come over." Raph says with a smile, Leo nods his head. He couldn't help but feel that this wasn't just for their father, but also an excuse for Raph to spend time with Mikey.

"That's very kind of you." Came a voice extremely familiar to Raph, one he couldn't wait to hear again. They turn around to find Mikey standing there. Now Leo understood why Raph liked the boy, he was quite attractive. Leo just hoped that, that wasn't the only reason Raph liked Mikey. "Seth has improved a lot today Donnie, he actually recognised me." Mikey told his brother with a shining smile.

"That's wonderful news, I'll be up there in a minute or so, I just have to go check on Sue." Donnie explains, genuinely thrilled to hear the news.

"Is the baby still moving a lot?" Mikey asked with a frown, Donnie just nods his head. "Tell her to try moving her hand over her stomach slowly and gently in a clockwise motion, whist singing a soft gentle lullaby." Mikey suggests. Donnie looks at Mikey in shock.

"I can't believe I didn't think of that! I'll go tell her now! Thanks Mikey." Donnie said before leaving to go attend to Sue. Mikey looks at Leo and Raph with a smile.

"Hi Raph...and Leo, right?" Mikey asks with his hand stretched out to Leo, Leo nods his head as he take the hand. "Raph told me a lot about you." Mikey says with a friendly smile.

Leo smiles back at the grass green turtle. "I can say the same about you Michelangelo."

"Please, call me Mikey." Mikey states happily. "Shall we go." They went to the boy's father's room. They introduced Mikey to him and him to Mikey, and they just seemed to hit it off straight away. It didn't take long for Mikey to get them all laughing, and all they did was share information about each other. They were learning so much about Mikey and vice-a-versa. He just fit into the family so well it was like he was family. Mikey looked up at the time. "Well this has been very fun, but I've got somewhere else I have to be. It was very nice meeting you Mr Hamato." Mikey smiles polightly, with a small bow of respect to the older turtle.

"It was very nice meeting you as well Michelangelo, and please call me Splinter." The boys were shocked, their father only let people he really liked, call him that. The boys never had to because they were his sons, but they knew that very few people were allowed to call him that. Mikey smiles and says ok before he goes to leave.

"Hay Mike." The new shorting of his name caught Mikey a bit by surprise, but it felt quite nice. He turns around and looks at Raph who was blushing a little bit. "Since it's a Saturday tomorrow, I was wonderin'...do ya wanna go ou' for coffee with me or somethin'?" Raph asked nervously, his blush getting a bit deeper.

Mikey smiles, not remembering the last time he got asked out. "Sure. Do you know the Coffee House just down the road from here?" Mikey asks, Raph nods his head. "Cool, how about you meet me there about...9:30?" Mikey asks with a smile and slight blush.

"Sure, see ya then." Raph says happily, with a big smile on his face.

"See you then." Mikey smiles brightly before leaving with a cute blush on his cheeks.

"You really like Michelangelo don't you my son?" Splinter asks, Raph turns around to find his father smiling kindly. Raph nods his head with a blush on his face. "What is it you like about him?" he asks, also needing to know that Raph didn't just like Mikey for his attractiveness.

"Everything. His smile, his laugh, his funny personality, the way he seems so confident and laid back, his kind heart, the way his so calm yet so energetic at the same time, I love his eyes, his kind loving soul...and just...everything else." Raph said gently, smiling as he explains. Leo and Splinter also smile, in Raph's explanation not once did he say anything about how attractive he looks. Raph loved Mikey's personality which was the most important thing to judge a person by. "Not ta motion he's really cute." They couldn't get mad at Raph for liking the way Mikey looked, or that he found Mikey cute, because everyone would notice that. What was important to them was that Raph didn't just see Mikey's attractiveness, and since Mikey's appearance didn't come up until after everything else Raph had said, they could safely say that Mikey's appearance wasn't the only thing Raph cared about.

After both Mikey and Donnie left the hospital, Mikey told Donnie about him going out with Raph. Donnie also asked Mikey what he liked about Raph, and Mikey was the same as Raph. Mikey didn't motion how Raph looked until he'd talked about Raph as a person. Donnie was happy for his brother. It was very hard to find love in this would, especially because they were turtle. Before they met Leo and Raph they thought they were the only ones of their kind. So, finding love would be very hard, but when Mikey told Donnie he was gay Donnie knew that Mikey may find it a little harder to find love. Howver, fate had given Mikey an open door, now it was up to Mikey, to go through or not.
