Raphael x reader

Chapter 25

Raphael stands on a rooftop looking over the streets. The soft drizzle of the rain chills his skin after being in it for hours, but he doesn't care. He's too busy obsessivly following Y/n again to care about his own health.

'Why is she acting so stupid! First she throws herself to the Shredder, now she isn't listening ta me! Why doesn't she get how dangerous it is! How many times do I have ta see her die in my nightmares before it becomes real.' Tears escape Raphael eyes against his will and mingle with the rain.

'She's safer locked up in the lair! ...Caged. All unhappy without the freedom to even take a walk in the park... Is it better to push her away? Is she safer without me? I just want Y/n to be safe, why is that so hard?!' Without care for property damage he kicks and punches everything he can find on the roof. He makes a dent in a brick wall, a satellite dish meets it's unfortunate demise and empty crates and barrels get stomped on. After his little temper tantrum and realizing he might have made a lot of noise he quickly jumps to another roof a few blocks away.

'If we wern't datin' she would have gone with her family ta europe. Safe, half way across the world, away from all this shit.'

Raph spots Y/n walking. 'Who's that guy she's laughing it up with.' He decides to ask. Even though there's a chance his text, like dozens before it, goes unanswered.

Y/n's texting him back but not giving him a straight answer. That's enough evidence for him to conclude Y/n is cheating on him. 'Oh and that guy thinks he's tough huh. Thinks he can just steal my girl? Threaten me? I'll show him who he's messing with.'

Raphael follows them to the guys house. Sure enough she walks inside with him. No hesitation or anything. This isn't the first time she's been there.

'How could I ever been so stupid to believe she actually cared about me..'

Gnawing jealousy eats at him. So much worse then when he saw Leonardo hugging Y/n. Perhaps because he knows Leo. Deep down he knows his brother wouldn't betray him. 'Y/n said they're just friends. She only calls me Raphael when it's important.. Guess I believe her on that one. But this asshole has to go.'

Before Raph can do something stupid and go assault a man he gets two texts. One expressing Y/n wants to talk the other one with a time and place to be. 'So this is it.' He suddenly feels drained. With led in his feet he makes his way back to the lair so he can go sulk in his room.

Raphael is sulking on the couch in the lair. Not the best place if he wants to be left alone. But he's not so sure he does want that.

Mikey plops down next to him and takes a moment to channel-surf before addressing his brother. "Dude when when I said to act like a caveman I was joking, you know that right?"

"What do you want Mikey?" Raph halfheartedly tries to act annoyed.

"Make up with Y/n already so she can come over again! I miss her!"

"Why would I! She's cheating on me!" Raphael shoots to his feet and starts angrily pacing around.

"Are we talking about the same Y/n that asked you out here?" Donnie asks.

"How do you even know that?!" Raphael turns to his nerdy brother.

"Y/n told April, April told me. But that's besides the point. The point is y/n is crazy about you! She wouldn't cheat."

"Well I saw her walkin' arm in arm with some schmuck to his house!"

"Maybe they're just friends bro, chicks like Y/n are crazy popular."

"Yeah right. Just friends." Raph crosses his arms.

"Raph you don't know anything until you've heard her side. Give her a chance to explain her actions to you." Leo pops up out of nowhere but seemingly heard every word of the conversation.

"Why would I listen to anything you say?!" Raphael points his finger in Leo's face. "You let Y/n go out without anyone keepin' an eye on her!"

Master Splinter stands between his two sons before they can start throwing punches at each other. "Listen to your brothers advice Raphael. Do you truly believe Y/n is of such ill character to hurt you so? Your insecurity may have blinded you to a simple truth she can clear up. I have also noticed your increasingly controlling behavior towards her. You must allow her to live her own life."

With nothing more to say, Raphael turns on his heels and walks to his room. He doesn't even have the energy to slam the door.
