Shredder x Raphael (request)

this was requested by the lovely @ImaginativeLilFreak , thank you so much <3

I'm going to start this story by apologizing.. I've been terrible. you requested this in April, and I let you down. at first I was unable to work on it because had a lot to do in school. but now, even on summer break, I still haven't done it. 

I'm super sorry, I hope you can enjoy this anyway :) 

(Btw, I tried to stay as close to your request as possible, but since it was pretty long I might have made a mistake or two)

RAPHAEL IS 18 YEARS OLD.

Raphael was, as usual, in a bad mood. But this time he was angrier than he usually was. 

"Why don't you ever trust me? Huh, Fearless?" he hissed at his older brother, who stood before him with his arms crossed over his plastron. 

Leonardo sighed, this was the third time this week Raphael tried to make them go after Shredder. He chose his words well, to not anger his brother more. 

"I do trust you Raphael, but I can't trust the Shredder. We already spied on him TWICE this week, isn't that enough?" when Raphael didn't lose his defensive stance, Leonardo decided to get under his shell a bit. 

"What's been up with you lately, Raph? You always want to go after Shredder, it's like you're obsessed with him.. what's up with that?" Leonardo was fully aware of the way his brother's cheeks heated up and his fingers twitched. 'Weird' Leo thought, but he didn't have time to think about it more before Donatello showed up. 

The purple banded ninja's usually gentle eyes were spiked with anger. "Have you guys forgotten we still have to look after missing canisters of mutagen? we can't afford to fight around like this!" he almost screamed, but calmed down when Michelangelo took his hand. 

Leonardo sighed again and dropped his shoulders down a bit, knowing that Donatello was once again right. Raphael still hadn't calmed down though, in fact he almost seemed even more tense than before. 

It was just a question of time before the bomb went off and he would explode. 

Tick..tock..tick..

"AURGH! you know what? fine! FINE! you get what you want, like you always do!" he roared, pointing his finger accusingly towards Leo. Leonardo's face didn't budge, but on the inside he was fuming. 

Raphael was halfway out of the lair when Leonardo muttered "yeah sure, run away from your problems.. like you always do." 

It made the sai wielding turtle stop in his tracks, twitch for a split second, and then storm out of the sewers. 

Up on the rooftops Raphael could finally relax and calm down. Breathe in, breathe out.  No controlling brothers or responsibilities. Just him and his thoughts. 

He would never admit it to them, but sometimes his brothers words and actions really hurt him. Especially Leo. 

He hated himself for it, but lately he had started to have feelings for Shredder. He could never admit this to his brothers, since they would probably throw him out of the sewers and he would never see them again. No matter what happened, he loved his brothers. If he had to keep his love secret to be accepted by them he would take it. 

It made him angry aswell. 'Why can't I be normal and just have a crush on a girl like Donnie? Why do I need to fall in love with out family's worst enemy?'

A single tear rolled down his cheek as he sat down on the rooftop, leaned against a shack on the rooftop. He eventually fell asleep, fighting with his brothers and crying made him exhausted.
