Saturday Oct. 5th

A/N: Raph and Jaelyn^^^
When Mikey woke up he was pretty shocked to feel the warm body of another's presence next to him. He jumped up hitting Luke on instinct.
"It's morning," he said as Luke sat up hurriedly.
"Wh-what?" Luke squinted his eyes.
"It's morning."
Luke looked around, "oh."
"Do you think they came home?" Mikey's face filled with worry.
"Would they leave you home alone all night?"
Oh no.
Mikey jumped out of bed, grabbing a shirt and walking out the bedroom door. Luke reluctantly followed.
April and Donnie were the only ones up in the kitchen.
"Morning," Mikey said brightly, taking the I-hope-you had-no-idea-what-happened-last-night direction.
"Morning Mike," April greeted, "morning Luke."
Donnie nodded at them, taking two pieces of toast out of the toaster for him and
"Mornin'."
"Where's Miwa?"
"She went over to Trevor's," April answered smiling over at Mikey.
Setting the toast on a plate, Donnie sides it over to April, along with butter, jam, and a knife.
"Mikey, can I talk to you?" Donnie glanced up at his only younger brother.
"Uh-sure," he exchanged a look with Luke before following Donnie up the stairs into Donnie's room on the left.
They sat on Donnie's bed and Mikey looked over at him, "so what's up?"
"I saw you and Luke last night-and I know you guys weren't doing anything-you weren't right?" He cut himself off to make sure.
"No!" Mikey nearly shouted, crossing his arms.
"Okay. I believe you. But what was Luke wearing?"
Mikey was generally confused, "what?"
"What was he wearing when you guys fell asleep?"
"Why does that matter? We weren't doing anything!"
"It looked like a binder."
"A binder?" He shook his head, "he was wearing a tank top."
"No I'm pretty sure it was a binder, Mikey. I'm only saying this-"
"Wait! What is a binder?" Mikey crossed his arms over his chest as Klunk pushed the door open, coming in and rubbing against his legs.
"Something transgender people wear to keep their chest flat," Donnie explained, "I'm only saying this because it is extremely dangerous for Luke to wear it at night. And I think you should tell him that."
"I didn't even know what it was until now. I just thought it was a tank top," Mikey admitted.
"Well then you and Luke have a lot to talk about."
Mikey shrugged, "I don't care if he is."

"Raph? Are you awake?" Jaelyn whispered running her hand through his hair.
"Hm?" He groaned not opening his eyes as his back was pressed up against the back of the couch and his head rested on Jaelyn's chest.
He was dressed in his undershirt and boxers. Jaelyn was in a v-neck shirt and pj shorts. The others like Jason and Madelyn were passed out on a few blankets on the floor and Casey and Naomi asleep on the other couch.
"Wakey-wakey. It's 9 in the mornin'," Jaelyn said still keeping her voice lowered.
"5 more minutes," he mumbled turning his face into her neck.
Jaelyn sighed, "fine. Just 5 more," she continued to play with his hair and he slowly nodded.

Stepping outside they sat down on the sidewalk.
"So...what did you're brother have to tell you?" Luke asked curiously.
"Uh..." Should he tell him? "He told me he walked in on us last night when they got home."
"Oh. Did he? What did he say?"
"He asked if we were doing anything?" Mikey looked up at him.
"We weren't."
"I know."
He couldn't ask him.
"Are you going home? Or do you want to stay the night again?"
"If your parents are alright with it. I don't really have any food at my place," Luke looked across the lawn as a couple ran past with a stroller.
"My parents won't care. I don't know if they're coming home tonight or tomorrow. They were staying at one of my da-father's friend's last night."
Luke nodded, "Why don't you call him dad?"
Mikey looked at his hands in his lap, shrugging.
"Sorry I didn't mean-"
"It's okay," Mikey cut him off but didn't go into any further explanation.

"You should have told me!" Miwa wanted to scream at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want you to worry. You already have to keep an eye on your brothers. I don't want you to have to keep an eye on me too."
"I'm your girlfriend. You can tell me anything. Don't worry about me worrying too much. I'm supposed to worry about you."
"But I don't want you to feel like you have the world on your shoulders."
"I won't."
Trevor shook his head.
