Tmnt oneshots

Cool but sensitive

heyaaaa lol!! I couldn't help myself.. I needed to write this. Not just because it's cute af, but because I know a certain someone who would love to read a Raph centered oneshot hehe

now, on to the story!

Raphael had always been tougher than the rest of his brothers, it was a part of his personality. He liked being tough, it kept up his image as a'bad boy', but he could still let go sometimes and show his true feelings. It was rare to see him act on it, but Raphael was a sensitive guy. 

So that's why, on a perfectly fine Saturday afternoon, Raphael is tending to his little buddy, Spike. That screw-up Mikey had once again played some pranks on them, resulting in Spike getting a small cut on one of his tiny legs. Michelangelo got a good beating after that. 

"There we go" Raphael spoke to himself under his breath, tying a small knot with the bandages on the turtle's leg. Spike only chewed slowly on his leaf, seeming content. Raphael smiled and released a breath he didn't know he was holding in, while carefully petting his pet's head. 

"Aww, talking to Spike again?" Michelangelo teased, a pizza slice in his hand as he plopped down on the couch. Raphael tensed up and turned around as soon as he heard the prankster's voice. 

"So what? I'm taking care of his wound, that you caused, you idiot!" he practically spat at his younger brother, pointing a finger accusingly at him. 

Michelangelo rolled his eyes and put up the one hand that wasn't holding a pizza slice. "Whatever dude. It was an accident." 

"Accident, my ass! You always do some sort of harm when you're pranking, and you never gotta pay for it!" Raphael was now standing up, his eyes mere slits. 

Just the Leonardo, who had heard the commotion, came from the kitchen and into the living room. He was holding a small, steaming cup and judging by the faint smell, Raphael guessed he was drinking his nasty herb tea again. He cleared his throat, getting the attention of his two younger brothers.

"What's going on guys? Are you fighting again?" Leonardo asked calmly, but you could tell by the tone of his voice that he was slightly annoyed. 

'Typical,' Raphael thought, 'disturb his tea-time and you'll get a 5 minute lecture.' 

Michelangelo had eaten the whole pizza slice by now, but he wasn't making any move to speak up. In fact, he avoided all eye contact at all. Raphael groaned and took it upon himself to tell their leader what was going on.

"This shellbrain here is trying to make fun of me for treating Spike's wound!" Raph half-yelled, once again pointing to Mikey. 

Leonardo sighed and took a long sip of his tea, contemplating his thoughts. "Mikey, give Raph a break." Just as soon as Raphael was about to agree with him though, the leader had more to say. "But Raphael, don't be so rude to Mike. You know how he is." 

Raphael was getting angrier and angrier by each second. Just when he was about to explode Donatello stuck his head out of his lab. 

They all turned their heads to the side to see what their genius brother was up to. "Can you lot be any louder?!" Donatello practically screamed, contradicting himself. 

Leonardo gave him a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry, Donnie. We'll be quieter."

"THAT'S IT?" Raphael finally exploded. "Donnie was rude to us, but you apologize to him and let him get away with it! But when I defend myself and call Mikey out, I'm rude and need to calm down?!" he shouted with all his might. 

Leonardo's and Michelangelo's mouths were wide open, and they could all hear a faint 'oh snap' coming from the lab entrance. 

Raphael shook his head and picked Spike up before storming off to his room. He didn't want to hear what those idiots had to say anyway. He slammed his door shut, hard, to signalize that he did NOT want company. 

Spike had eaten his whole leaf, so Raphael went and picked out a new one he had in his stash. He fed Spike very carefully, keeping him on his lap. 

"It's a good thing I have you, Spike. I think I would go nuts down here with those idiots if it wasn't for you." Raphael said very softly, in case someone was peeping behind his door and trying to spy on him. 

3 hours later, and it was soon going to be dinnertime. Raphael was now reading a comic book on his bed, Spike resting by his head. 

He stopped reading for a second though, because he heard soft knocking on his door. 

"What?" he called out, scowling. 

The person behind the door seemed hesitant to answer the question, but did anyway. "It's me, bro. Mikey."

'Of-fucking-course it is.' Raphael thought, but he still put the comic book down and opened the door. His little brother looked timid, something that was usually very rare to see.

"What do you want, Mikey? I don't want to play with you." he was still scowling, but it faded slightly when he saw the look on Michelangelo's face. 

"I wanted to say I'm sorry, dude! Honestly!" Michelangelo's voice sounded sincere, so Raphael was going to let him keep talking. "Leo told me later that Spike had gotten hurt, 'cuz of me. I didn't know that bro, I swear! I thought you were joking!"

'Why would I ever joke about that?' Raphael wondered, shaking his head slightly. Mikey continued. 

"You know I admire you, right? Everyday I wish I could be more like you, big bro. I guess I just picked on you because I found it funny that someone as cool as you would talk to your pet in the way that you do."

Raphael was honestly a bit shocked by the words, he was touched. His scowl was gone, and there was even a small smile on his lips now. When Mikey looked up at him with his huge blue eyes, he couldn't resist to rub his head. 

"Whatever, shellbrain. But next time you do something like that I'm going to pound you so hard your whole body turns blue!" The threat was mostly empty, but Michelangelo still gulped and nodded his head frantically. 

"Dinner's ready, by the way." Michelangelo said, slowly turning his heel and walking towards the kitchen. 

"Race to the kitchen?" Raphael challenged him, smirking mischievously. 

Mikey laughed and ran, looking back and teasing him once again.

"You sure you don't want to talk to your little turtle buddy instead? You guys seem to have awfully fun conversations! haha!" 

Michelangelo got a good beating after that.

sorry it was short :)
