[87 RaphDon]
Don sighed out, fiddling with his fingers as he looked towards Raph. They'd been going on about Casey, which wasn't anything new, but what was new, was the fact Donatello wasn't annoyed by it. If anything, he was almost...jealous? No, that wasn't quite the word, but it's the best Don had. After a moment, he speaks up, tries to join in with the romantic words Raph was giving,
"Y-yeah, Yvonne's real great."
Why did it sound so awkward when he said it? Because he really did mean it! He thought she was great, and so many other things, but Donatello just couldn't say it - not like how Raph can do it. In fact, that's why he was here,
"Raphael, how do you do it?" Don asks, "How can you sit and say all this stuff about Casey, sometimes even in front of them, without feeling like an idiot?" He specifies, "I try and do that with Vonnie but I just sorta, you know, get tongue tied I guess?"
| Muse interaction
Raphael, made his way into Donatello's lab for well no real reason really, just to hang out with his brother. Still not the biggest fan of their inventions but well hey if Donatello could bother to ask for help when ones was stolen? Then Raphael could work on acting interested in what they did. Or in the least be aware of it when something went wrong. But also cause well Raph just liked hanging around Donnie, ya think the spent would let anything of note to be absorbed in his head. Letting Don tell him about his current project well at least the one that had their focus and he had the material for it to get it. Until Don seemed to run into a snag on a part that seemed to be just a bit too small.
Raphael sitting beside his brother idly tipping back in the chair he was resting in letting his brother work well they would mutter something here and there about what he was doing. Sometimes Raph answered seriously, mostly he just being Raph and cracking some sarcastic comments. It was all playful of course, till Don seemed to grow frustrated. Raphael turning to look at them to see it was because of their current struggle. He hears some mumbling about how it just won't fit because it's to small. "Things to say in the bedroom that will make me both happy and sad at the same time." Raph comments wide smile on his beak as he.
Letting his chair fall forward so he could get a better look him self taking the rotor from Don's hold as he just looks it over. "Ya know? I bet Case could help getting one of these things for you?" Raph offers to his brother as he looks at frame Donatello was trying to get it to fit into just a moment ago. "he works with engines and what not so bet if I ask he wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for a better fit?" Raph adds in so Don wouldn't have to run off to the dump in a mad search for what he needs. Raphael set it down and used his commutator to take a photo of the piece. Send it to Casey along with a text asking for what he said he would for Donatello. Smiling as he idly tosses in some sappy thank you Casey's way. He knew Casey never texted back less it was important.
"I know he'll do it, he'll do anything I ask" Raph slightly brags with a faint dreamy smile one his face as he sets his phone back down. "Guy can't help himself sometimes I don't even gotta ask he just goes 'oh this is for Raphael' nothing but a sap. It's adorable. He's adorable." Raphael soon goes on another tangent about his boyfriend. "He's such a dork I make a comment about something I like and he just remembers it and asks if it's something I wanna do or see and sure maybe I do but it's not really why I brought it up. Next thing I know big guys over here telling me were gonna go. So, asking for this? yeah he'll make it a mission to find." He chuckles a little not because he found it funny he really did love that about Casey. "Dork likely gonna bring in a few just to make sure he got the right size in the end. Nothing but big doe eyes when he comes here handing them to me." Okay well no one else would see said doe eyes seeing as Casey's make seemed to be basically glued to the mans face. But Raphael knew for sure they would have doe eyes aimed at him. There is a faint blush touching his face as he rests his cheek in the palm of his hand.
"He's amazing like that though, if its for me I really think he do anything. Why? apparently my smile is enough payment for him." HE blushes a bit more he suddenly gruffs and holds his hands out into the air as if he was grabbing something "Ugggh idiot why can't you be here so I can grab that gorgeous face and smoosh your cheeks in for being so damn cute and perfect!" Raphael complains now. "I wanna pull him in and kiss him all over for being so great, cause I want tell him how damn lucky I am for having this guy so willing to take time out to do one small thing for me if he can. No if I know he will why? I dunno somehow I got this amazing dude hooked on me. That if its for me he might do literally anything cause he just wanna do it for me!" Slightly sound like he was complaining he wasn't he was just in a fit of aggression only Casey caused. A cute aggression. "He'll then be all 'is this right jellybean?' al soft and shyly cause guys gotta be more adorable to kill me! and it'll be the right thing and i'll know that damn smile is behind his mask and he so rude for not letting me see it. So i'll just hold his hands and smile at him happily wagging my tail cause Casey's here now and i'm just so damn happy." Raphael continues on hes not even sure what he's saying now. Turning to look at Donatello who been dealing with this whole speech just then.
Tumblr media
"I love that man." Raphael ends his statement on. Feeling a bit bad he went off about his boyfriend when he was meant to be hanging out with his twin. Course thinking about it, Von tended to help him with his projects. "Hey, no Von today? So used to her being left by herself well your busy or hanging by your side I didn't even notice she wasn't here." Raph comments on. Soon fixing them with a look, as he leans over to better look at his twin. "Soooo, how that all going though? I mean you two seem to be getting along just fine right?"
"Y-yeah, Yvonne's real great."
"mm well yeah but what else?" Raph pushes a little, Don and him didn't often talk much about it but didn't mean Raph wasn't invested in knowing about Don's own relationship her. "I mean she seems like a great gal. When i'm not near killing her with my cooking but ya know the other stuff? I mean you know I think Casey's amazing and takes my breath away the moment I think about him. Which is a lot I surprised I ever breath." He jokes
"Raphael, how do you do it?"
"Do what?" He can catch the seriousness in the question as he gives his attenuation his brother now.
"How can you sit and say all this stuff about Casey, sometimes even in front of them, without feeling like an idiot?"
Raphael doesn't even change his expression like normally would or toss in a sarcastic thanks over his brother outright calling him an idiot in the moment. Hard to deny something when he had just been doing it after all, but he knows despite the insult Donatello is asking for a reason.
"I try and do that with Vonnie but I just sorta, you know, get tongue tied I guess?"
"Oh I feel like an idiot every time actually." Raphael confesses but he smiles when he dose so. "Ya really think I don't know how I can be?" He adds in even. He sees where his poor brother is coming from now why they seemed a tad to awkward about talking about Von when he was asked. "Nah sometimes when i'm flapping my beak i'm just thinking, jeeze Raphael do you ever shut up? You been going on about Casey for hours even Casey would says that's too much, which he dose more cause I think I embarrass him just a little bit. With how I go on and can be overwhelming for that guy. I don't think he hates it though." Nah if he did Raph's sure Casey would have mentioned that by now.
"Honestly? I annoy myself sometimes, I used to make fun of folks for doing what I do after all. Thing is though? It's cause Casey gives me a confidence I didn't know I needed." Raphael admits "Yeah I know, I'm already pretty cocky and such and don't ever hold back what I think well ever." He shrugs uncaring for all of that. "I ain't like you Donnie, I didn't really care about love and such maybe cause I didn't know I didn't like girls at the time I dunno. What I do know? is I'm so lucky Donnie. I say it all the time because I'm in disbelief on the fact I even have Casey in life ya know? I mean I thought he was good looking and liked him when he met and well things went off from there. I just had my mind set on the guy. Never dreamt he well feel the same." Raphael offers.
"Casey's truly a great guy to me, he's so good towards me too. For a first well everything I got lucky there right? So how can't i just be in such disbelief this amazing, kind, loving, gentle giant of guy loves me? I mean really loves me too. Casey's always so gentle with me Don." Raphael's face falls just a moment "In ways I didn't know I needed either but he is." Smile returns "So I find my self just kid of going off about how amazing he is because, well I want him to know that I really do appreciate and love that about him. Casey aint much of a talker himself ya see" which may be obvious, "And I think sometimes the guy worries about that so I sort just kept doing it more and more. I'm an idiot and well I don't mind being an idiot for Casey I guess is why I can do it?" He ponders a little "Yeah actually say that is why. I can't do too much else but I can do that. Maybe ya don't gotta blab on about Von like I do Casey though." Soon he turns back to his twin.
"Just cause werd twins don't mean were the same right? I run my mouth all the time cause I don't think. But you think, you think about her lots right? I bet you think about all the stuff she tells you she likes and whatever too?" That just made sense for Raphael when it came to his brother after all. "Think about the books she likes and whatever right? Maybe ya don't need to say it is my point." Raph ends his explanation on. "But cause your you, i bet you over think that uh?" He soon playfully flicked Donatello's forhead smirking a little after wards. "Maybe just work on showing it." Soon he nudges thier shoulder.
"Instead of leaveing her to deal with the rest of us in the living room that is." He has to just throw a tease in over that as well, of course. "That's what Case dose." Raphael says beaming "dose all kinds of things that tell me how he feels. And honestly? Means the world to me Don." He chuckles a bit "which may also be way I never shut up about him?"

madamkezzie asked: [ShadowSonic] [ RAGE ] : sender initiates a fight with receiver out of pure anger.
@aflockoffeathers​​ || Fighting prompts ( closed. )
        "Dude, chill out ! " So, he might've gotten under Shadow's skin a few times too many that week. Could he be blamed, though? He just wanted the guy to loosen up a bit! Dodging a hit, Sonic uses his arm to block a second one. Teeth grit together, emerald hues glaring distractedly at the ebony hedgehog. "Look, Shadow, it was a JOKE ! " Maybe he shouldn't have joked about their friends? 
Tumblr media
Then again, Shadow wasn't technically apart of the hero's friend group. & He had only mentioned the name Maria entirely on a whim. 
Stepping back, Sonic barely has time to think straight, thanks to a certain knee connecting with his stomach & knocking the breath right out of him. Gasping hard, he sucks in a deep breath, just so he can gather his bearings. Looking up, he can still see the anger burning in those scarlet hues. 
"Alright, fine. So, you wanna fight. I get it. No using dirty tricks, though, got it, FAKER ? " he spats the old nickname out, brows furrowing slightly. Mental note; NEVER say the name Maria around Shadow ever again. He punches their shoulder as a light jab, a 'friendly' little warning. 
                                  "Bet I can shove your face in the ground first."

MM Raphael - All Symbol Headcanons please uwu
| Send me a symbol and I will write a headcanon about…  For multimuse blogs, please specify! *disclaimer I aint a spoiler free blog I have stated before like with Helluva Boss, this is your warning now there are spoilers in this post.*
Tumblr media
I love this little gremlin boy so much. look at his smile pure gremlin uwu from the full trailer we got I knew I would be satisfied with this take on Raph. I can be kind of picky but that's just cause Raph was a character I always loved. I do like that Raph's anger issue was his only character trait least not like all he is about but that they did focus on the fact Raph dose just kind of like to fight in general. I like that he is sort of aware of it though and seems to try and handle it but clearly doesn't know so he turns it towards his more violent tendencies. And dose seem to try and not take it out on people around him. He has anger in him and he's trying which is why I love that he seems to turn towards sports at the end of the movie cause its not often a part of Raphael shows often give much attention to that he loves sports too. I look forward to more from this franchise with my boy ;3; I really just like that you can see for all of the boy they know who they wanna be but havent quite learned who they are.
𝓕 : My muse’s handwriting. (Is it good, bad, difficult to decipher, do they prefer writing by hand or with the help of some form of machine, e.t.c.) 
Tumblr media
"I'm not the best with uh spellin, " One of the more stylized writing styles clearly. The boy haven't had proper education for years so I feel they learned a lot from what they saw and Raph liked the subway graffiti they would see when making their way back home and learned to make it his writing style. Raph tries to control his emotions carefully emphasis on tries here of course. Draws attention to himself as seen in a lot of fights he tends not to care much for the whole be stealthy thing when it comes to a fight. Even crowing to get said attention before jumping in. Raph has a more out going personality shown from his large lettering. The gaping in his writing shows Raph enjoys his freedom.
Tends to take being grounded from the surface not well at all and pitting the blame toward Leo. Being able to explore the surface is the only real freedom he had and he dose carry this thought into going to school. Of course the heavy pen pressure come from tension and anger he has. That he doesn't full know the best way to deal with yet. I think having Beep bop and Rock steady however will help a bit but having a friend who gets it will do him even more wonders since they are closer in age. Despite being outgoing the slant of his writing shows Raph is a bit reserved which we see when it comes to April he doesn't talk as much as the other do or did when around her compared to how he is around his brothers even around the other mutants he was a tad more reserved here and there. Or outside of fights. Im pretty positive they will likely be like Splinterson considering Splinter isn't Yoshi but I would be to surprised if they didn't find a way to make use of Hamato for this verse but i'm not changing my tag XD so still under Hamato even if he won't be using that name unless stated he will be Splinterson in MM.
✈ : My muse and  traveling. (If they do it frequently and why, if they never left their home town, e.t.c.)
"Hmm I've been in the sewers, the subway, roof tops shipping yards-" Currently Raphael has only ever been around New York, they have gone to some pretty well know locations like Central Park or Madison Square garden, or stadiums but have yet to ever be out of New York. Of course, he likes the idea of maybe seeing more now that he's able to go to the surface. But hard to say if everyone is still willing to change their tune about Mutants. Even if they have been shown as Hero's this doesn't fully mean everyone and everywhere is ready to accept them or willing.
✿ : My muse and nature. (If they are an ‘outdoorsy type’, like the sound of bird’s singing, if they have never set foot in a forest, e.t.c.) 
"Ehhh I dunno 'bout that. 'ike i'll go I guess if I gotta?"
Despite living in hiding this guy is a pretty much a city guy at heart he is so used to the loud sound of a buzzing and bustling city. But with his wild energy he might love going out to the woods.
☼ : My muse’s first memory. (Where it was, who was with them, how this memory makes them feel, e.t.c.) 
"uh dunno I kind remember stuff as a kid like havin' nightmares and going to pops." I feel Raphael dose vaguely remember the one time Splinter took him and his brothers up to the surface.They seemed young but were able to start their training not long after. Raph sometimes had nightmares about the man that chased after them and would be the one to wake everyone else up and go to Splinter to sleep with. Dad is safe after all ;3;
☙ : My muse’s favourite food. (Bonus: A memory, be it good or bad, associated with said food.)
"Dose bulk up count as a food?"
Course it's pizza, but the bulk up in the crate during their shopping time was funny to me. Of course Raph always remembers the first time Splinter got his hands on a pizza for them. It was some of the first human food they ever tried and the most beautiful thing Raph has ever seen at that time in his life.
♬ : My muse and music. (What type of music they like listening to and in what context, what music they would never listen to, e.t.c.)
"Drake! he's the g.o.a.t!" Raphael likes Rap and R&B the most when it comes to music he dose enjoy Rock and heavy metal as well of course. But his favorite artis is Drake and if he could meet a celebrity he would want it to be Drake. he watched Degrassi solely because he found out Drake acted on that show. He might have a slight crush on the dude but he hasn't really figured that out himself. He also likes DJ Khaled, and Lil Wayne but course hes got his usual go to. He dose like a bit of pop as well here and there. He also will never admit it but some of the stuff Donnie listens to is kind of okay as he would phase it.
↺ : My muse and the past. (Do they live in the past and struggle to let go of past grievances, or move on more easily, is there anything in their past they want to forget, e.t.c.) 
"Eh I sort of do maybe?"
Raphael in a way dose in that he's very aware of the situation he was once in, forever made to hide away from a word he just wants to be part of. Surrounded by the same four faces all his life. It sort of feeds into the little freedom he has and more he'll get. Raphael just wants to be able to meet more people experience things he never got to before all because he never really got to live before, not like how humans do at least. Going to school just being on the top of that list simply because it's such a normal mundane thing but something he thought he never have. That it never even occurred to him that humans themself sometimes aren't all given those same freedoms he thinks they are lucky to have.
☾ : My muse and sleep. (How much they sleep, how much they wish to sleep, if there is something that never fails to put them to sleep, e.t.c.) 
"Eh not 'ike i got much a bed time? oh guess I do now?" Raph's used to staying up late seeing as it was the only time him and his brothers were able to out and about that Splinter could agree on with at least. So Raphael is far more used to being active at night over during the day going to take a lot is adjusting to the change least during the school week. Raphael likes to be up late still often going to bed late in night school night or not. Getting to sleep can be a bit of struggle so he tries to tire himself out in all the ways they tell you not to like aimlessly using the internet thinking he'll pass out. Sometimes he dose but ends up leaving his phone playing videos because of it. So it's always low on battery.
✧ : My muse and art. (If they have an artistic side or not and why, favourite artist if they have one, e.t.c.) 
"I like the stuff I seen on the streets." I pick his writing style for a reason Raphs a fan of street art, he has watched humans in the cover of the night work on their own street art. Murals, tags and such that they come across the city always tends to catch his eye he thinks it looks cool. When he was learning to write he really wanted to sort of have a style like what he saw. Raph tends to doodle out his name and even brothers names with designs things he thinks fits each of them. Course later hell add another name with some hockey sticks and such. It's far more like graffiti he dose and sticker art. He came across some name tag stickers and will put his stuff on that to slap around the city when him and his brothers would run around for their errands in the past. Usually slapped on to the back of signs, street lights, even some bollards, or billboards. It's mostly either his name "raph" or styled stuff showing Sai.
❃ : My muse and social media. (If the muse is/would be on social media and why/why not, their general opinion on it, e.t.c.) 
"Eh I sort use it?"
Raphael lurked in the past mostly making use of video platforms. He has a bad habit of falling asleep when watching tiktok and sending the videos to his brothers accounts. Once they get into school he will use twitter and snapchat, so to be in contact with some of the friends he's made. but he mostly sticks to texting apps like discord or whatsapp. Raphael just isn't much for social media but it was kind of the only way he could be part of the human world, so he did use it to just watch stuff. Mostly used it to watch dumb videos he found funny or keep track of news of stuff he was interested in. Like following Music Artis he likes.
✉  : My muse and others. (If they social and outgoing or more introverted, and why. If they prefer communicating with others face to face or in written form, e.t.c.). 
"I finally got some human friends so 'hats cool." As I mentioned before Raphael is pretty out going in general, he's not shy or even close to being an intervert himself. But he can be a tad reserved as a person. When it came to meeting and being around April of course he doesn't shy away from talking and answering questions but he dose tend to hang back a tad. When they met superflys crew Raph sort of did the same once the idea of afight was dropped with this reveal. We do see him pretty ecstatic around Beep bop and Rocksteady however but he still seems the most comfortable around his brothers even when at the Dance he's a bit more playful with them. But we can see him being open around the kids hes befriending. He's a friendly person and likely willing to talk to anyone but it takes him a moment to warm up and be more okay with all his sides being shown.
Raph still wants very much to meet someone who just understands him in a way most don't. Raphael knows he has a lot of anger issue to work through and he tries to handle that best he can but it has made him pretty interested in things that come off more violent like things. Sport, horror movies, fighting in general. Raph isn't a bad person or even trying to be intimating well outside a fight of course, but his interest likely will sort of give him a rep in school as a tough kid, scary dog privilege basically. Look big and mean but when you know Raph? once again scary dog privilege hes loyal and pretty loving very outwardly at that.
Why meeting Casey is such a thing. Casey and Raph hold a bit of rivalry since Raph going into school he wants to just try out for every sport the school has to offer. Of course, this meant the hockey team as well. Raph liked the more contact sports like football over soccer so he tried for the team along with another kid. They were both good but the coah wasn't sure who to pick. Raph wasn't fully set on it but this stupid kid picking a fight with him made him a tad petty so they wound up getting into a fight. To which even after going home with a black eye he told Splinter in a very excited manner he had made a friend. Sure Raph has some like friends least kids he could get along with but I feel thats more outta of convince. Casey is the first person he kind of opens up around to with stuff he hasn't with his brothers even. That got long TDLR: Raph can be reversed and def has the aura of a scary dog like a pit bull so people can be a tad turned off from getting too close to him and his over ethuism for certain things. He got some humans hes friendly with who gotten past that but he can be a tad reserved deepening how comfortable he gets with someone else. And much like many dogs like Pits? Hes actually very friendly, and welcoming.
▶ : My muse and level of education. (If the muse has some form of education, what education they perhaps wish they had, e.t.c.). 
"I only now going to school so?"
Anything Raph dose know was taught by splinter or something he abosrd growing up. I don't see him being the best student when it comes to school either. He dose great in subjects like Gym and even art a bit. (I like to think he'll take some art classes) but as for the rest? he'll have some struggles mostly Math and Science courses.
◐ : My muse and animals. (If they like animals and treat them well, do not care for them at all, e.t.c.). 
" uh 'm a turtle?" I think Raph likes animals I feel i've said this with nearly all them so far? i really just think Raph is a cat person. But I feel MM also is pretty big on dogs as well. Which is why I keep saying hes got scary dog privilege haha. Dogs sort of match his energy but cats are nice and calming. I feel he treats them pretty nicely gently and with care knows ya gotta let an animal come to you sort. And when one dose? hes the happiest turtle in the world at that moment uwu
❒ : My muse and gifts. (If they are good/bad at finding gifts, good/bad at receiving gifts, good/bad at wrapping gifts, e.t.c.) 
"ehh I try?"
I think Raph has found things for his brother like if he spots something they might like or related to it? he'll snag it when on their runs.
☘ : My muse’s relation with their family. (If they speak with each other and how much, if they are close or estranged, e.t.c.). 
"I Love them I do jus'..ya know I wanna know others too? nothin' wrong with it?"
Raphael is very much a teen in that part of his life where he's trying to have his own life. Sometimes he can get carried away with it even no that it's something he can have, rather spending time with a friend over his brothers. It's nothing against them at all more him not quite learning that balance yet. But of course his brothers will always be his top priority when it comes down to it. His brothers mean a lot to him and they were his first friends as well. Nothing can ever get between him and them he will feel bad if any of them feel as if that is the case of course.
Raph very much tries to play cool around his brothers pretending he doesn't care but you can see how thats just an act. That he is playing to around his brothers. Sometimes he lets it slip like mentioning he would like to go to school never fully saying why though. Raph is very close to them all though openly joking around with them just being a full dork and getting up into to trouble like messing with Leo's sword and throwing ninja stars around. Despite him sometimes being annoyed with hoe Leo acts and can be you can also see how excited he gets when leo wants to join in on something for once. He gotta be close enough with leo to not be too upset hes playing with his sword. Even leo sort of joins in a bit when they are playing around on the roof. Raph seems to be able to get his brother into messing around.
Like Mikey dose when he tends to start most the jokes they get into even. Raph's clearly older brother side kicks in around them letting Mikey climb on top of him and such. And Raph being quick to jump in to try and help him and Donnie out when they need it that is. Doesn't baby either of them but is for sure there and ready to get in the mix of the danger.
With Donnie his twin uwu never letting this go when I can apply it. He dose pick on them a tad for being a weeb but it is outta of love, luckily anime is more main stream so I doubt Don will have to worry about being picked on for it but if he was? Raph would stand up for them in his own way "Hey he might be a a major dweed for likin' it and he is a major dweeb for likin' it but least he got better thing todo then pick on someone for it" type of sticking up.
He dose try and show some care into what his brothers like but it's cause he really just needs that himself in his life.
He loves Splinter and respects them he dosen't like be grounded but he'll stick to it and not break it even if he grumbles over it. Raph in part dose understand Splinter just looking out for him and his brothers. Sometimes that means he gets grounded or scolded but he dosen't always take it personally more that Splinter dosen't understand to which yeah some bits Splinter dosen't understand. But Raph still dosen't fault them to much for it. Hes still not ready to have a mom though and a tad grossed out on Splinters relationship but it makes him happy so? As for the rest of his family he is getting used to the suddenly abundance he has. He liked having more family around and is closest to Beepbop and Rocksteady, his sort like uncles he can be found with them the most when it comes to the extended part of his family. They sort of get the anger thing and often offer some advice when he's feeling just a tad ganged up on. I like to think they encourage him on his friendship with Casey since they are such an inseparable pair themselves.

[87 Don Raph]
Donatello's beak opened and shut, taking in Raph's words carefully. He'd seen them angry, he'd seen them upset, but to be brought to tears with worry? Well, it's not new, but it's always worrying. And the fact that it was Donatello that did it to his own twin only made it all the worst in his eyes,
"Raphael I..."
But what can he say to make it better? No, it's not words that need to be said, it's actions.
So he opened his arms wide, and wrapped them around Raph, hugging them as tightly as he can in that moment, simply holding them until they seemed to be calming,
"Raphael I had no idea," Don admits, "I never realised me running off after my inventions worried you so much," He manages a tiny laugh, "For the smart one, I sure am dumb huh?"
He swallows thickly, frowning. Don's grip on Raphael tightens even more, proving he's not going anywhere,
"I'm sorry Raphie, I really didn't think it would upset you this much," Don apologises, "I promise, from now on, when one of my machines goes haywire, or mission, I won't try and take care of it by myself."
Something that was going to be incredibly difficult for him. They were his machines, his responsibility. Besides, if his brothers see how many of his inventions fail, seeing as there's a few they don't need to know about, well, they may look at him differently. But Don has to try and ask for help, for Raphael's sake more than his own,
"I'll come find you, or Leo, or even Mikey, if I need help - I promise it," Donnie repeats, still refusing to let go, "I'm really sorry Raphie."
| Muse interaction [ part one ] [ part two ]
Raphael watched as his twin seemed stunned at his outburst just now. Left to open and close their beak a few times clearly left with no words to give. They weren't the only one to be a loss for what more to say. Raph soon lifted an arm and use it to wipe across his face trying to dry up the damn tears that just wouldn't stop. Fuck what was with him so suddenly?
"Raphael I..."
Raph hadn't meant for himself to snap the way that he had but he just couldn't stand how blind Donatello seemed to be when it came to this all. And that was what was getting under his shell was, they Donatello just didn't see an issue with how they were being. So when Donatello confronted him well maybe part of Raphael had been just waiting to vent it out to make it known how he felt about it all! How Don running off and risking his safety put fear into his twin. Every single time all he could think was about if they got hurt. He could so clearly imagine them dying even.
Tumblr media
Before Raphael could think of anything more to say to what he admitted to though he felt Don's arm move to hold round him, hugging him close and tight. Raph stayed still a moment, before he curled his arm arms around his brother. Fingers took a moment to feel over their shell a moment as if needing to check for sure. Yeah he was still here. He dropped his face to rest against their shoulder and soon the water works were on once more. He hated crying.
"Raphael I had no idea,"
Yeah well how could they know Raph didn't exactly say anything to point to how he was feeling about Donnie's behavior after all. Slightly letting his face hide in against his brother's shoulder as he tried to clam down. The hug helped. Feeling his brother was here when that fear of his was working on him again? He just needed to keep that in mind, Donatello was okay he was alive. Raphael didn't need to be crying and getting so worked up like this. Cause Donnie was fine and standing right here with him there was nothing to worry about.
"I never realised me running off after my inventions worried you so much,"
"..Yeah well I kind of didn't either till it kept happening more and more. And it just got. Worse Donatello." Raphael manged to say voice a tad muffled as he spoke up, he could hear Don soon laugh a little, maybe trying to lighten the mood somewhat between them right now.
"For the smart one, I sure am dumb huh?"
Raphael manged his own chuckle just now "Yeah you're a real dimwit ya know Don?" His voice cracked a little as he cane feel Donnie's hold tighten he kind of understood what they were trying to say to him, So he relaxed his own grip just a bit as he rested in against his brother. Trying to clam himself back down.
"I'm sorry Raphie, I really didn't think it would upset you this much,"
Raph hummed a bit to show he was listening, as he sort of just stared over his brothers shell in thought. He guessed he should say it's okay to say he took their apology but, well it wasn't okay that Donnie didn't seem to even consider the risk to himself. Actually that brother him the most still how little his brother seemed to care for his own safety. If Raph was being the reckless once between them he was pretty sure Don would have a lot to say on the matter. Maybe Raphael was just being a bit too protective of them though?
"I promise, from now on, when one of my machines goes haywire, or mission, I won't try and take care of it by myself."
Tumblr media
Raph's attention shifted at what Donnie had said just now he was a bit shocked how easily they took to what he said just now. Oh he was very aware how hard it was going to be for Don to keep to that promise of course. Raphael knew his twin well enough to know that they could be very prideful at times. And well pride could make it hard to admit you made a mistake. Kind of why Raph harped on his inventions so much as well. He was taking shots at their pride. No wonder Don couldn't take his hazing anymore but it was that damn pride that created this issue. Don would very well die over the matter of pride alone.
"I'll come find you, or Leo, or even Mikey, if I need help - I promise it,"
That did get a smile on his beak at least, despite their ego he knew Don was being sincere right now.
"I'm really sorry Raphie."
Raph sniffled a bit and pulled up enough to at least lifted his head, gree eyes glossy from the tears still in his own eyes despite his efforts to put on a brave face as he offered a faint smile to them. "yeah well you best be numbskull." he gives a weak laugh, and pulls an arm away so he can once more try to dry up his eyes. Jeez he cried more than he realized guess it was getting to him more than he had thought. "Ya better come get one of us or imma use that damn Casey single and tell that lunatic I need him to keep an eye on ya." he mildly threatened just now. "pretty sure he'll do it if I tell him a lawbreaker been followin' ya around or something." he had the dumbest image in his head of Casey standing far to close to Donnie watching them like a hawk, baseball bat in hand looking more like they were the one going to hurt Donnie over protecting them. And Donnie looking annoyed and worried at the same time he knew Donnie didn't hold quite same level of patience for Casey after all. "Don't think I won't I don't make my threats lightly after all Donnie."
He soon latches back on to his twin giving them a good hard squeeze between his arms. It had honestly helped to get that all out in the air, all that yelling when his temper flared. Might not be the take away he should be having but hey Don listened and heard him even so ya know maybe it was also the right take away. "Don, I meant it I dunno what I do if I lost ya like that so suddenly. I know ya could do real good for the world if you wanted but...well. I still need my brother too. So I mean you know I'm always here too even if your inventions don't work out." he tried to offer best he could hoping they got what he meant. "but..I'm sorry to for being a bit of a jerk." he thinks for a second before pulling back from the hug finally willing to let his brother go now. "Okay for being a mondo jerk. Even if i worry about you. Just well I rather have you around to piss of then the opposite of that okay? So I'll try to cool it with the criticism" Not full stop cause well sometimes he did truly dislike Donnie's inventions when they back fried or directly affected him.

[07 Raph and Don]
Donatello smiled, gently taking Raph's wrist and leading them away from the main living room. He couldn't let either Yvonne or Ariel hear what he was about to tell them. It had been hard enough finding excuses to keep them out of the lab for the passed few days, he'd hate for all his work to go to a sudden waste by the surprise being ruined.
When he was sure he and Raph were far away enough, Donatello beamed at them,
"I need to show you something," He keeps his voice quiet regardless, "I need your opinion on it."
And it's there Don lifts his other hand, showing the two rings he had clearly made himself; there were a few scratches in the metal, tiny imperfections that one wouldn't see in something professionally made. If it wasn't proof enough Don made them, the fact the words 'Part of Your World' engraved into the metal should be enough. His tail wagged behind him,
"What do you think?" Don asks, "I've been working on them for a while - do you think Yvonne will like them?"
Usually, he went to Mikey with these sort of questions, but considering Yvonne saw Raph as her best friend, well, he figured Raphael might have a better insight,
"We have our own place, we have our Ariel, it just seems right to be married too," He says, the worry already starting to spark, "I want to make sure they're perfect, last thing I want is for her to say 'no' - not that I think she would," Donatello murmurs, "Then again, I don't know if she'd want to be married," Uh oh, "It's not like she could even have her own family there; Master Splinter could always 'give her away' I suppose, assuming she'd be okay with that, or if she'd be okay with being married at all-"
Looks like someone's getting lost in their own head again.
| Muse interaction
Raphael was standing behind the couch, Leo and Mikey were sitting on as Mikey was going on about honestly? Raphael forgot what exactly it was that Mikey was telling them about. Glancing down towards his older and youngest brother he could see Leo was at least giving them his full attention. Good because Raphael couldn't even pretend like he was listening in the moment. He did kind of take in how nice this was though. What with well everything that had happened over the years seeing Leo and Mikey on the couch like before? was just nice. And maybe Raphael feeling this way out of all of them said the most considering how pissed off he was about Leo leaving them before in the first place. Or how pissed off he got when Mikey betrayed them and joined the foot. Not that Raphael was innocent of anything. Least he was able to be standing her pretending to follow this conversation as Mikey continued to run his beak. Von sitting near by seeming to just as engaged in the conversation being mostly ran by Mikey
When Mikey finally breaks away to look up at Raphael asking him something about what he been talking about for the past hour. "uh?" was all he had to offer in response of course it gave away he hadn't been listening as Mikey's own face didn't shy away from expression the annoyance he felt in that moment. Luckily for Raphael though Donnie was to the rescues with out knowing it. Raphael tried to attempt to make a guess at what Mikey had been saying a moment ago when he felt the hold around his wrist suddenly. The tug that followed was enough for Raphael to retreat to go along with his twin brother. "Uh sorry Mikey gotta help Don wit' somethin' I forgot, ya know how the brainiac gets." He offers with a faint shrug of his shoulders.
Though now part of Raphael wonder if he really was meant to be helping Don with something? They had been holed up in the lab since Raphael got down to the lair. Was weird Von wasn't with him? Jeez how long had Mikey sent him in brain dead mode? "h thanks for the save bro but whatcha want uh?"
I need to show you something,"
Raphael titled his head to side noting the hushed tone Don was using, paying a second to look back seeing that no one followed them? "Yeah okay uh what for?" Raphael ask nothing meaning much from his own questioning tone he was more curious than anything really.
"I need your opinion on it."
Raphael pauses as in his stride as Don turns around to show him what it was he needed an opinion on so much suddenly. As he held up to bands of metal up for Raphael to look at. Slightly leaning in for a better look at them. He was able to make a guess they were meant to be rings like humans wore to show they were married. Or just for show like April sometimes did or Mikey when he managed to get April to lend a ring to him before. They didn't look as polished however? The kind of Ring's April wore were far more smooth and shiny. These seemed far more crudely made. All the scratches in the metal was enough of a tale that these were hand made rings and not professional or least made by someone who lack the full equipment needed. Kind of a surprise that Donnie would want to give them to Von as 'imperfect' as they were. Raphael muses over that fact a moment considering this is Donatello of all turtles. He needs to squint his eye a moment to try and read the words that had been craved into the metal. "Part of ya world?" he asks seeing if he read it right.
"What do you think?"
Raphael Smirks at Don's question he can't help himself as he moves to cross his arm over in front of his plastron.
"I've been working on them for a while - do you think Yvonne will like them?"
"hmm dunno Don seems a bit inappropriate don't cha think?" He gives Donnie a second to try and follw what he means by that. "I mean I love ya but ya should really give one of 'em rings to Von not me." He chuckles a bit before slugging his arm over Donnie's shoulders. "I'm messin' with ya, kinda of surprised ya only know gettin' round to giving her a ring though? Sorta figured you woulda done that a long time ago?" Least in Donnie's case he was far more a romantic after all. "Or did that get buried unda that fucking to do list of yas?" he Teases more bring up his other hand to dig his knuckles in against Donnie's smooth head to give his brother an affectionate noogie, before finally letting them free smiling back at his brother.
"We have our own place, we have our Ariel, it just seems right to be married too,"
Raphael slightly cocks his head to side over the sentiment he guess that makes sense when Don puts it like that after all. They lived together had a kid even he guesses being married wasn't too far off as next thing todo. Course he was pretty sure it was meant to be in a different order but eh that seemed like a small unneeded detail in the moment all the same.
"I want to make sure they're perfect, last thing I want is for her to say 'no' - not that I think she would,"
He can just see how the one off hand mention seems to be the start to get the gears in his brothers mind to start to turn in his head suddenly. Those gears starting to move and crank out the worries out into his skull to fill it up with a list of what ifs and more.
"Then again, I don't know if she'd want to be married,"
Raphael rolls his eye letting his head follow the action as he looks up to the ceiling a moment letting Don get most his thoughts worked out first before he cuts in. It was sometimes better to let them go down the doomsday path first.
"It's not like she could even have her own family there; Master Splinter could always 'give her away' I suppose, assuming she'd be okay with that, or if she'd be okay with being married at all-"
Raphael sighs and reaches out to plants his hands on to Don's shoulders suddenly making it clear how annoyed he felt in the moment "Donatello" He says their name with a faint warning in his tone fixing them with his expression. "Shut up." Is all he offers to them as some sort of advice all be it rude as it could be. "Lets step back a few 'ere alright?" He offers to his over thicker twin. "pump the breaks and just fuckin' chill out Don jeez."
Raphael lowers one of his hands and slightly rocks Don with the other hand. "It's like you said, you live together and you even got Ariel far as anyone can see it ya two are in this for the long game yeah? I mean you even lost contact for a few years." In truth it wasn't the only time but Raphael didn't see a point in bringing every bump in the road up at the moment. "And ya two got back together with out a hitch. far as 'm concerned that means something." After all he and Casey had a break up but found their way back to each other, if anything that alone should show Raphael meant it when he said it. "I promise shes gonna love it if anything she gonna tease you for taking so long. An' I gotta agree" He smirks once more "How can ya not have put a ring on her till now Donnie? jeez you better make it extra special for her or i'm tell Von to tell you no" Taking advantage of his best friend placement with the butterfly mutant not that Raph felt she would agree to that made to haze and rattle Donnie a little bit but nothing more than that. Though now that has him curious. "How are ya gonna about giving it to her? Cause knowing youes? it's gonna be more than needed aint it?"

"Look Don an' I ain't all that close 'ike we used ta be" He lets his gaze drop as he mentions it for reasons he knew he shared blame on too. "I changed it, use ta be a picture of Donnie being all pissy cause Mikey got him with a water balloon. I changed it to this, the full picture was taken cause Don was rambling about stuff he needed and no way I was gonna know any of what he said. Jus' went lookin' through my phone the other day and notice he was smiling so ya know." Raph offers a shrug of his shoulders over the thought. "Just a better picture 'hat's all"

@aflockoffeathers said: 03/07 RaphDon - [☕] our muses make hot chocolate together
| SEND AN EMOJI FOR A STARTER ! ↳ winter season & holiday based
"Don, what the fuck are you still doing awake?!" was the very first words to leave Raphael's beak when he walked by the lab doors only to find Donatello being the only other soul awake in the lair. Was it really that big a surprise to see Don awake late at night? No. Should Raph really be reacting to the sight of his twin brother being up about himself right now? Also once again no. But that didn't stop the red banded turtle from voicing his thoughts on the matter. As he spotted them over by the coffee pot late in the night getting a fresh pot of coffee brewing. They must have just been in the middle of getting it ready since the coffee grounds were still in Don's hand when he was caught in the act. Seeming just as shocked to see Raphael up and about as Raph was with them.
The red banded turtle gave a faint roll of his eyes behind his mask really only repressed by how he tossed back his head to make the motion clear to his twin. Before he stormed into the kitchen and swiped the canister from Don's grip, moving to lean in and look them over as he slightly grit his teeth. "Don I can see the bags under your eyes going back your mask." He was being a bit of an exaggerator when he made that claim. As he slammed the coffee grounds on to the counter. "What day is it?" he asks and the way he did could very easily be confused on what he meant when he did. But Raph doesn't help his twin out by making it more clear on what it is he meant by that. The day of the week? some special occasion even? "You been up?" He finally adds to offer some help to brother.
Not that any answer they could give him would be a good answer to Raphael in that moment. Don could be on the second day alone, and the reaction may gauge about the same from the red banded turtle. Who only knitted his brow and let the corners of his beak hung down lower. Before he let out a sigh.
There had to be some irony to this dance he and Donnie entered as often as they always did. In fact, despite how he tries to act like he has nothing in common with their eldest brother Leo? Raphael could also be similar to Leo. Leo was always on Raph's case about his late night adventures, after all, and here he was grilling Don just as much over the lack of hours spent sleeping they spent instead working to 'get answers' as they have all been told in Don's rare snippy rant moments when he was getting told off about going to bed.
Of course, that did eventually seem to bring up a simple fact that made Raphael far mkre like his twin. Why was he up in the first place? This wasn't meant to be about Raphael. "Don' give me 'hat look Don, 'his 'bout you not me." Raphael happily pointed out in his usual gruff tone as he jabbed a finger into his brothers plastron as to punctuate his point on the matter. But it's hard to really poke holes in that logic, after all. Raphael seemed to see that himself as he looked down to his hand still holding away Donnie precious coffee. Before he finally gave in and hand over the grinds to then.
Admitting defeat on this stand still here, I can't really blame him since he saw he was, in fact, in the whole pot calling the kettle green here. Moving to the cupboards as he looked for a cup himself, but he seemed to be looking around for something else. Grabbing for thoer stash of hot chocolate packets as he moved to rejoin Donatello. It wasnt odd for Raphael to join them for a cup but seemed idea of sleep wasn't in hid plans either. Ever the hypocrite.
Though Raphael wasn't to big on tje bitter end of the flavor coffee had hench the the need for hos hot chocolate packets, he held it up to his beak and sharp teeth latched on and tore away the top of it with his teeth, before he pours the powered into the bottom of his cup. Well the pair were left to wait for the coffee to brew now. Finally Raph answers the question why was he even up to catch Don in the act.
"Eh can't sleep tonight, was gonna just sneak put top." He admits to Donnie, the only one well outside Mikey who wouldn't out right get on him about that habit of his. "Case aint up it seems though, so was gonna take my bike out for a late night ride instead" He offers with a shrug of his shoulders. Though nothing was stopping him from following through on that. Not like Don would be like Leo and go after him to make sure he stay put. Don might ask him about grabbing a part he might need or maybe even see about a late night run to the dump. Nah he was more taking the opportunity of Donnie’s company instead.
"What ya even workin' on now?" Raphael asks, a faint underline of interest in his question. As the pot finished, he filled up his own cup and let Don start to explain what currently had him so invested in right now. He could admire that about his twin. They were just so creative. Able to make seemingly anything that his mind could put together. " 'hats one 'hing make us different." He muses over to himself as he takes a sip of his coffee the chocolate mostly a sludge at the bottom but enough to sweeten it. "Ya make 'hings I bust well everythin' " He states with a shrug of his shoulders. Nothing fully elaborating on his thought. He didn't need Don to hear how he saw himself only destructive. He rather just stand here and listen to his twin speak what may as well be another language that seemed to make them.smile none stop as the went on and on about it. At beat catching like every fifth word that they said.

[2k12 Raph Von oop forgot about this]
Oh, this was bad, this was very bad, but she was certain of the cure. She just needed some help; even with four arms, the chances of her pinning down a trained turtle mutant, and injecting them, just was not going to happen. Thankfully, Yvonne knew Donatello had brothers, and had, sort of, met one. Well, he yelled down the phone at her, but still.
Having been told where he lives, Yvonne made her way to the lair, glad to see there was no door or anything. She was also glad to see other mutants already there, seeming to not have noticed her yet. She saw no reason to fear them. Reaching the turn stiles, Yvonne hoisted herself over,
"Uh, hello? I'm looking for Raphael!" She calls out, getting the other mutants attention, "You yelled over the phone, sounded mad at Donatello."
When she finds out which one she is, she immediately jumps to why she's there, formalities can come later,
"Oh, good, hey listen, Donatello, he's in serious danger right now," Yvonne tells him, "To himself mostly, he's causing his own issues," She wasn't making much sense was she, "Look, Don has been acting like more of a jerk than usual, obviously, and I know why - he's not doing his insulin," Maybe she should explain, "See, when insulin isn't done, several things can happen, but a noticeable one is mood swings - especially those of sadness and anger."
And suddenly, things were clicking,
"We can do formalities later, but, thankfully I use the same insulin, but I can't convince him to do it, so, if one, or all, of you can help me take him down so we can force him to take a shot, and, you know, not burn any bridges and inevitably die from ketones, that would be, well, grand."
| Muse Interaction continued from [here]
It was a mess safe to say. Mikey had been telling what happened at least what he was around to see happen. Don snapped at Splinter having heard them yelling he didn't fully catch everything Donatello said but had done his best to paraphrase it. Before recounting how they then took off into the tunnels and just left. Not like Don didn't have his own out burst time to time like this but yeah this still didn't seem like Don at the same time. Sure he could be a snippy bitch at times when given enough push but yelling at Splinter and storming out? Nah that was more a Raphael thing. Which Mikey was happy to point out that said turtle couldn't even deny at the time. Simply just annoyed by the remark.
Shit what was with Don lately. Raphael started to keep distance between them so he hadn't noticed anything that might explain why Don was getting like this. Slightly turning out Mikey as he continued to tell what had happened. Worried clearly but Mikey seemed to think things might be fine? But the worry was clear with him mentioning how long it's been since everything went down and Don hadn't returned yet. The idea they might be hanging out with their apparent girlfriend did come up and maybe it would give Don a chance to chill out for a time. Though it would soon seem that wasn't going to happen.
"Uh, hello? I'm looking for Raphael!"
Both Mikey and Raph near about jumped right out of their shells when hearing an unfamiliar voice speak just now. Raphael's starting to wonder if the set up to their lair was truly as safe as they once thought before. Considering this wasn't the first time someone basically just waltz right into their home when they had their guard down. Raph and Mikey both took in this was mutant of course but that didn't make either of them feel less of a threat at her sudden appearance. Mikey not minding how Raph stood in front of him taking to the usual guard stance. The red banded turtle narrowed his gaze on her. Taking in the four arms and eyes the wings and such. It was the fact she knew his name though that stood out.
"Alright, ya got Raphael now you got two seconds ta talk before I stop bein' nice." The warning given only because she didn't seem like a threat. No outright attacking going on if anything she seemed frantic and desperate.
"You yelled over the phone, sounded mad at Donatello."
"Yvoone?" Mikey was the one to speak now, as Raph slightly looked back at his brother slowly clocking in on what she was referring to. So he moves to ease his stance hand moving away from his belt. This must be Yvoone he guessed? Honestly he wasn't sure if he ever heard her name? He just went along with what Mikey siad in the moment. As Mikey move out from behind him standing beside Raph looking the mutant over himself now. Both seemed to have the same question. "Where's Don?" Raph slightly demands the questions her way.
"Oh, good, hey listen, Donatello, he's in serious danger right now,"
"What? What happened?! What did you do?!" Raphael quick to pin all the blame in to this stranger despite it not adding up. Blame the temper and lack of information all he heard was his brother was in trouble.
"To himself mostly, he's causing his own issues,"
Raphael just tilted his head to the side, a little before glancing over to Mikey. Maybe linked to what Mikey had been telling him happened, Don was pissed so he might have gotten himself into a mess? Didn't mean Raph had much patience rolling his eyes as he steps over to her. "Look spit it out what happened."
"Look, Don has been acting like more of a jerk than usual, obviously, and I know why - he's not doing his insulin,"
"Idiot" surprisingly it was Mikey who voiced that, Raphael wasn't all to sure why that was bad but knew Don needed to be caring for himself. Why else would Casey freak out so much over Angel not doing her own?
"See, when insulin isn't done, several things can happen, but a noticeable one is mood swings - especially those of sadness and anger."
Raphael blinks a little on the last bit as it stood out the most. He swear he hears Mikey say oh as he soon seems to understand himself what must have been going on.
"We can do formalities later, but, thankfully I use the same insulin, but I can't convince him to do it, so, if one, or all, of you can help me take him down so we can force him to take a shot, and, you know, not burn any bridges and inevitably die from ketones, that would be, well, grand."
"Mikey tell Splinter an' Leo!" Raph orders grabbing Yvoone by one of her arms "you take me to Donatello." Skipping over her name, he likely knew her name now but his mind was on poor Donnie he coild telling something wrong that Donnie needs him. "Right now!"
---
Soon as Raoh saw Donatello he ran over and dropped to his knees. "Idiot!" He yells out as he carefully picks them up holding his twin in his arms both caring and with a tight grip. He turns back towards Yvoone "I got him go for it!" He barks out before turning back to his brother ready to pin him down if he really has to but his grip is enough to keep Donnie in place now. Ready to wrangle them down at any sign of a fight.
"Donnie I swear if you ya fuckin' die on me 'm going to kick your ass! I'll follow you and go kick ya ass!!" He knew what he was saying and he meant it. His hands shook but his girl never faded. "Donnie please not 'ike this okay? Not when 'hings are fucked between us please."

[07 Raph, Summer and Don uwu]
Now that Donatello was playing the role of Uncle as well, he was able to get his revenge. So when Casey was at work, and Raph taking care of Summer, Don waited until Raph was distracted, had his shell turned, and made his move. Breaking into homes and sticking to the shadows was something they all did well. Summer cradled in his arms, Don was in and out of their home without a noise. Don't worry though Raphael, Donatello left a note.
At his own home, Donatello had Summer and Ariel, grinning as he watched them play. They were a little too young for him to start showing them experiments - but oh, when they could walk and talk, he's going to totally show them some science.
And when Raph inevitably showed up, Donatello decided he was going to be the bastard this time, smiling their way, as if butter couldn't melt,
"I thought you could use a break, I know how difficult it is looking after the hatchlings after all."
Neither of them were hatched, it's just what Donatello ended up calling the little munchkins,
"I mean, are you really going to break up them up - that's cold Raph."
Oh yeah, he's throwing everything back. They really were twins,
"Can't believe you'd be so cruel."

Raphael had their little Summer child bundled up in blankets, even as she fussed slightly trying to her legs out free from the blankets. Once she had learned to use them she never quite let them being trapped away like so small little babbles being made as Raph at least kept a good hold on her in his arms. She was a bit to focused on getting free to take in the fact Casey was heading off to work. Raph at least was standing near the door to the apartment idly talking back and forth with Casey. Well aware they didn't want to go to work they wanted to be home with the new addition to their lives. After the worst case of baby fever had hit the pair. making them talk the idea over and over. Going from maybe one day we'll have this to they really truly wanted to have a baby all their own. Hypothetical children spoken about random names dropped here and there as they would let those conversation go on to long. To kidnapping their niece Ariel just to get the fix of a baby. Even if it meant they were going to be more running away from Donnie then playing with the baby. That part was fun to.
Shifting Summer in his hold to hold her up to look at Casey now, telling her to tell her Dad bye now. Summer idly stared up to her Dad taking in blue eyes of his before smiling and waving her arms around. Raph just eating up watching the mister tough Casey Jones melt at the sight of their kid, baby talk falling out from his mouth as he told her he would be back. Before Casey turned attention back to Raph telling him the same. Raph acted like that did hit his heart just a little to square in the center. Before shutting the door and turning attention back on to Summer. Letting her tiny little fingers curl around one of his own squeezing it as tight as she seemed to be able to before her free hand reached up and made a grab for his mask. High squeal let out as she tug on the soft fabric dragging it down to get a good look at Raph's reaming green eye. Raph didn't flinch away or tell her to stop he just chuckled to himself.
Sometimes he took off to the lair with Summer when it was the two of them. It was a good system Casey took off to work when he had to go in. And Raph got to spend all day basically playing with Summer. Family wasn't ever a dream or wish he wanted. But those moments by the door telling Casey bye, Summer being his excuse cause of Course had to make sure she knew Dad was leaving. Taking pictures for Casey of her since he had to miss out. Switching off when Casey got back home cause course Casey needed his fill of baby time once he was home. Sometimes full switch in roles if Raph had to join his brothers on something going on. It just gave him more reason to think a bit more before he acted so they could keep this little routine going. Raph liked being a Dad that's kind of all he knew, he could see why Donnie seemed to treasure it all so much. Really did become a full time thing uh? Raph had been making Casey's place more and more his home as well. Staying days at time sometimes never leaving still there by the time Casey came home. Once Summer came around? He pretty much never left. Outside visiting a time or two.
All of Summer's stuff was at home after all, her crib, her favorite toys all the stuff she liked to get into that she shouldn't like Casey's golf bag of blunt weapons he used to stomp the wannabes with. Summer soon started to fuss a little more and Raph just chuckled again.
"yeah yeah I know, don' 'ike bein' confined" Stepping over to the living room where her play mat always stayed set up. Setting her down just under the toys that hung over head that she right away tried to grab for. Hans garbing the first stuff toy they could tugging it down and giggling the whole time. "never stop do ya uh?" Raph asks playful poking her stomach before he reclaimed his mask and started to set it back over his face before moving to step away. "Sit tight slugger" his way of telling her he'd be right back she was bound to grow hungry soon and whine for her favorite toy that was left in her crib. His eyes were only take off of her for all of a solid four minutes at best so he could grab her hockey player teddy bear and get a bottle ready for her.
But that was all the time needed for Donatello to go and pull a little reverse on Raphael. Aware of his twin's current daily routine seemed to pin point the right time to make himself at home. Summer seemed aware of her self leaving the ground. The baby slightly grew quite as she turned to look at Donatello, not scared or spooked. She knew the other creatures that resembled her papa. But when she didn't see the red her paper worse, her lip quivered a little bit as she reached up and grabbed at their purple mask tugging it down in her fuss only to pause when getting the glimpse of green in his own eyes though she started to settle down and moved to pat his snout any sign of a cry dying out. She knew the green of her papa' Raph's eye and it was like that even if it was mixed with brown. Making it far easier for Don to take off with her. Summer unaware of what was going on simply settled in her uncles hold and happily looked around once they were outside.
In time for Raph to come back to the living room with a missing baby and a open wide window. Face would panic or snap over the fact his and Casey's baby was suddenly gone. But thanks to Summer's little habit he found purple cloth left on the floor beside her play mat and he knew what happened. Only one of them would been able to sneak in her so easily after all. Though Raph couldn't help but feel annoyed he knew all too well why Don did this.
" You're fuckin' petty ass bitch Don." he simply sighs out as he make his way inside of Don and Von's own place tossing thier mask over at them before he went to cross his arms infront of his plastron, holding Summers little stuff bear by the paw so it hung over his arm. Uncaring if they didn't like the language he went and used. Summer grew uo around it after all and beside Ariel heard it a lot when with Raph and Casey as is.
Sighing well shifting his attention down to where summer was happily sat on the ground with her cousin. They two of them babbling nonesense but you swear they were holding a whole conversation between. As Ariel held tightly on to her mermaid doll that once belong to Donatello. Summer seeming to try and take it from her.
"I thought you could use a break, I know how difficult it is looking after the hatchlings after all."
"Hatcklings?" Raph soon questions "I though Airel came outta Von?" Not seeming to catch it was just a term of endearment and not a factual statement.
"I mean, are you really going to break up them up - that's cold Raph."
Raph just huff and moved to bent down now as he hand Summer her bear so she would stop trying to take her cousins doll away last thing they needed was a baby fight to break out. Raph was pretty sure Summer would win anyway. All well keeping his twin on ignore he knew what theynwere doing. He was simply paying back some revenge Raphael's way.
"Can't believe you'd be so cruel."
"Don I already called ya a petty bitch don' prove my point here." Despite his statement he moved to be beside his brother, because even if he wanted to take Summer and go home just because they pissed him off anf royally annoyed him well Don had a point it would be kind of cruel.
Summer now having her own favorite toy and Ariel's doll safe from being stolen seemed to make their play far more peaceful before the possible fight was about to break out. Raph did smile a little, watching them letting Don's little stunt brush over his shoulders now. "They gonna be jus' as bad as us ya know 'hat 'ight?" He brings up suddenly "glued to the hip, more trouble together 'han apart, bring out the worst and best outta the other?"
Of course thier kids were bound to be close with how close the pair of them were. But even if that moment was nice and sweet Raoh still swiftly punched his brother in the shoulder. Not one his little light hello taps no a an actual punch aiming to hurt his brother with the action. "That don' mean ya get to jus' steal my kid cause ya a petty ass bitch though. Jus' means imma hav'ta get ya back again."
Because, it's okay when Raphael steals Don's baby but not the other way around. Smirking at the expression Don had aimed his way cause he knew they had a similar line of thought in mind about what Raphael threatened. "Could've jus' asked me ta come over I know you miss me but really Don? Using the girls as an excuse?" This was Don's doing stole hos kod so now he's gonna be annoying. "I mean I know I'm ya favorite but can just talk to me." Not anywhere near being Don as he gives a purposely annoying voice when speaking as Donnie. "Hey Raphie come hang out wit' me 'm lonely since ya went an' started a family too." Just because Donnie was getting pay back meant Raoh was going to let Donnie enjoy it.

03 RaphYvonne  🍷💖
| Send a "🍷💖" and My Muse will drunkenly flirt with Your Muse
Raphael didn’t have a drinking problem it was far more he became a problem when he did drink well everyone else’s problem not so much to himself. In truth he should count himself lucky people put up with him when he did go just a tad to far on a drinking binge. And right now? He as the problem of his Twin brother and basically sister Yvonne. They might not be married but Raph had already saw her as part of the family heck if those two broke up? He would still see Yvoone as his sister. Which was good for him on both counts, his poor twin brother who made worrying a special skill and his ever kind heart sister being willing to find him when no one was sure where he landed up. Raphael recalled asking Casey to crash with him, Casey offered to get him bu he assured them he was fine to get there on his own. Raphael wasn’t all that far from their place anyway. Something he planned ahead of time just in case he did drink more than he maybe should, which often he did. Traveling the roof tops was a bit well risky, sure it meant it take the turtle longer to get to his boyfriend, but he didn’t need to add to Casey’s worries showing up a mess too. It was dark enough so if he stuck to the alleyways and such going by the streets would be fine too he’d just give Case a call when was outside so he could help him from there.
Only problem was Raph had no sense of direction when he got drunk, as he stumbled around holding a hand to the closet building for support. Working like a maze was it Don or Leo who told him that trick about doing that? He decided it was Donnie because he was pissed off with Leo at that moment. What should had only taken him ten minutes, twenty at the latest. Went on for hours streets got so mangled and twisted he got turned around so many times. Heard voices a time or two and needed to duck and hide which just made him go in the wrong direction. Honestly Raphael had no idea where he as anymore he stopped and tried to catch his bearings when he heard a familiar voice call his name suddenly turning to see Yvonne.
“Heeeeey!” He loudly calls out waving his arm in the air in truth glad to see someone he knew not fully aware what she was saying when he let himself wobble over towards her arm thrown over a shoulder in need of the support he nods as if he heard what she was saying. When he lifted his head to speak he paused and looked across the way. Eyes narrowing as he tried to focus “I think ‘hat Crees checkin’ ya out Von.”
That was sort of the last thing he recalls before being at Vons place now with her and Don. Soon as they got him inside he just fall on to the floor. Uninjuried as he laid like so trying to get his head to stop spinning. Confused because he swore he was heading to Casey's? He slowly rolled to rest on his shell man he felt like time was skipping on him was he blacking out?
The world felt like it was spinning, or maybe Raphael was spinning? Nah that don’t make sense he sure of that because he’s laying flat on the floor of Von’s place so he can’t be spinning clearly. Right? Brow slowly furrowed as he tried to make sense of his line of thought in that moment, this was nothing new Raphael drunk to a point he couldn’t use his brain. Not much loss there he didn’t use it all that much in the first place after all Raph moved to lift himself up to try and sit best he could but that wasn’t proving to be a good choice as he felt his head go light suddenly, leaning over to grab on to the couch where Von was sitting still seeming to be talking to someone? Jeez his vision was nothing but a blur he might have drank more than he should have. Raph was in for a harsh morning that’s for sure.
Heading turning a little when eyeing his brother Donnie who didn’t seem all to amused right now, not mad either more annoyed. Raphael only catching every maybe fifth rod coming out from his brothers beak as they turned to look towards Raph now. A remark about him being awake being made that Raph just shrugs off.
“Hard to believe when all ya crap bores me to death” he snickers very maturely after to himself mostly “blah blah don’ drink so much and blah blah somethin’ ‘bout not runnin’ round tryin’ ya start stuff with the guy making weird looks at Von here.” That wasn’t exactly what happened it was just some mascot cardboard cut out that sat outside the drive through of some burger place not to far from the docks. But to a drunk turtle? It was a guy trying to pick up on his sister, Don’s girlfriend. Cause quite a scene when the night shift team working the place found a mutant turtle fighting with the cut out. “Don’ see why ya mad Don, fine next time ‘lol jus’ lets the guy eyein ya girl get her number too.” He huffs a bit annoyed at Donatello with not justified reasoning in the least.
Well he grumbles something incoherently against the fabric of the couch. Mostly along the lines of how ungrateful Donnie was for Raph having his back clearly. And, that he liked Von better than Donatello in this moment because at least she wasn’t being a jerk to him like Donatello was. Yes very mature of the red banded turtle. H’es should count himself lucky Von and Don were near by when he was off and about drunken wandering around the city as he had been. Raph just needed to blow off some steam after another one and his and Leo’s famous arguments broke out but, sometimes Leo’s word stung and well alcohol numbed those stings in him. But one drink was always quick to turn into far more that Raph soon lost count, he meant to go to Casey even called to ask if that be fine but guess he miss judge the trip before winding up found by Von and Don. He was compliant in going with them till he saw that stupid looking chef eyeing up Yvonne and right in front of Donnie? Pfft what he was just meant to let it go? Well clearly seeing how it was just a cardboard cut out. Raph ignored that bit even after he realized it after ripping it’s head off. Still didn’t stop the drunk idiot from mumbling that he liked Von better.
“gonna call her Vonnie now,” Raph speaks up with suddenly as he lifts up his head and yells at Don “ Ya ‘hat’s ‘ight you lose your nickname now Donatello cause ya wanna be a big dumb jerk!” Raph managed to make his legs work to get himself to climb up on the couch so he could sit next to Von. Throwing an arm over her shoulders as he casually pulls her over his way and away from Donatello extra measures even given as he scoots to the other end of the couch with her.
“Actually ya don’ get Von at all either, cause ya let anyone flirt with her, and then act ‘ike a big ol’ jerk when I try and have ya back ‘bout it. So no more Vonnie for you lost ya rights.” As if Raphael had like any power to make these claims sticking his tongue out as his brother though because yes clearly Raphael did have the power to make these claims. Yvonne didn’t seem all to bothered by his antics which he took as a good sign. “Side’s I found her first anyway.”
Okay no where was Raphael going with this? Sure that as true Raph was the one spying on Bishop that night when he saw them with Yvonne that night they met and was in a sense the one to introduce them. Though actually Mikey did that bit when she came to the lair but eh that was splitting hairs at that point. But that aside clearly the drunk has some thought going through his skull right now. Leaning back a bit to shift attention towards Yvonne over his twin more putting him on full ignore in this moment. Didn’t care for the looks they aimed his way or whatever he was saying easily brushing them off without a single care.
“Ya know Vonnie if I had a nickel every time I saw someone as pretty as you, ‘d have five cents.” He casually remarks on, hey Raphael wasn’t gay he was in fact attracted to both guys and gals. Honestly, he never understood why was it girls an guys were both so hot to him? Yeah sure he leaned more towards men cause well they were more his speed he just got along with guys a tad more seeing how he was a tough guy and all he liked the excuse of picking fights with good looking gays. But that didn’t mean he was unaware or blind to a women’s good looks. And yeah that meant Yvonne. Who was objectively pretty not his type but hey he knew a pretty face when he saw one.
“I ain’t good at holding conversation like big mouth” He says gesturing over to Donatello “an’ sure he has talked ya ears ‘ight off ya more ‘Han once been there I get it. But would it be okay if I held ya hand instead? Mean got four of ‘em even.”
Thankfully even drunk Raph can’t keep his face straight as he starts to laugh letting his face fall into the couch as his shoulder shake, it was Von after all even drunk he knows that much at least. Beside he had Casey all he was doing was trying to piss Don off.
“Sorry Von I ain’t serious” he laughs even more to himself as he lifts up his face and moves to sit on the other side of Yvonne “But Don still can’ have ya cause he’s a big dumb jerk, so shoo go back to lair. Von’s my friend so ya can’ hang out with her anymore.”

Dose Raph have a favorite brother any of you're Raphs?
Tumblr media
OHHH Big time! Like don't get me wrong he loves his brothers he loves them all so much! Despite how Raph can be tough on them at times it's just how he is, but he so obviously plays favorites and it can be pretty obvious.
Tumblr media
Rise!Raph it's Mikey. Mikey is his favorite and everyone knows it he claims he don't have a favorite but with his role in the family he can't help be even more protective over the baby in the family. He tends to like Mikey get away with the most as well. Lets Mikey paint on his shell all the time. Id say leo and Donnie tie in second but Leo is his best friend.
Tumblr media
2012 Raph surpise surpise it's Leo. It's partly why he eggs him on so much Raph show affection in his own special way and Leo deals with it the most. Raph is more willing to tell Leo sorry when he acts out, he talks to Leo about stuff either on his end or checks in on Leo. Boy legit didn't leave leo's side and filled in on taking over training well they were in a coma ;3; not to mention they have this stupid little fringer wiggle handshake they do. He is also willing to quote leo's favorite show to help motivated them. Im blod enough to say Donnie is second for this version cause he really loves getting a rise outta of them and messing with them in fights and he loves encouraging when they get mad. Mikey thats more brotherly.
Tumblr media
2003/2007 Raph its donnie come on thats obvious. Donnie is the one he don't fight or outright threatens with violence mostly snark. He tends to be more clam around Donnie and will join them on finding stuff in the trash even if he hates doing it. He tends to point out how great Donnie is a lot to with no need as well like Raph your favoritism is showing sir. Also if Donnie calls him Raphie hes there no matter what uwu Leo is second for this as well, despite how he can be he dose listen to Leo even when he don't want to.

Just smirks watching their face drop and they huff now. "But I hate that you tease me for my favourite film."
Tumblr media
"ain't my fault ya picks the singin' fish movie to get all in ta. Pft ya even know all songs by heart." he paused a second smirking more cause that crush they had was pretty obvious back then "wait was that why you liked April for a bit? cause the red hair?" He started to snicker a little " It was wasn' it!"

Mocha Wedding the second uwu || @aflockoffeathers
Richard, couldn't believe his dork of a husband coming into the café that afternoon making sure every single customer in the building at the time was directing thier attention his way and he soon turned to Richard. Moving down to take a knee and held out a small jewelry box to present a ring to the eagle. Richard remembers how his face felt warm the second he saw it, despite having been in this situation before with the very same man. As Bailey once again asked if Richard would marry him.
What the heck was Bailey thinking was Richard's first thought. Not blurting out a 'yes' like the last time they had done this, of course, he still gave them a yes second. Even if his damn rooster went on to make a fuss over how Richard started to blush over thier gesture. For whatever reason Bailey could get to him, fluster him, make him blush and even feel a bit of shyness. Doesn't help when your bratty husband goes and tries to drag you back out so everyone can see you blush since he was just so cute when he did it apparently. Brat.
His brat that was of course. Who was still sleeping peacefully in Richard's hold they didn't exactly marry again after that day so much happened. Richard didn't need a wedding per se after all life happens but Bailey still wanted to give Richard that wedding. Nearly ready to go bankrupt for it alone. Dork, nothing but a huge soft dork Bailey was they had thier reasons for it though of course. And Richard would be lying if he wasn't excited to marry them again he would tell them yes every time after all. It was why he was awake so early now, unable to get himself to sleep. This second wedding was different for both of them it was to say 'I meant it when I said forever.' with them facing some darker parts in life well making a better life together. They were growing a life they wanted but thought wasn't for them. A loving home, thier furbabies, and Buddy thier pride and joy. Thier little family and each other.
Were, all the thoughts going through his head right now as he lay in his and Bailey's bed. He'd been awake for a bit now just looking to the ceiling thinking he would doze back to sleep. That just never came to him so he was left reeling at the fact the day was here. Richard was beyond excited to renew his vows to the rooster, to continue this life they were building to show he would always choose to be with them. Maybe he should just start his day? he was not getting any sleep anyway. Hmm Bailey would whine and pout if he just left them on thier wedding day though. Well, the answer to that would be obvious, yes they would because Bailey was a child like that. Gently giving a shake to thier shoulder to wake them now.
"Hey Sleeping beauty you awake?"
Richard asked softly hoping to just wake them long enough to tell them he was going to get up and start taking care of things. Well also letting Bailey go back to sleep on thier own. Looking them over to see if the attempt got them to stir at all. He gave them a soft nuzzle of his beak against thier cheek, as he softly spoke to them. In case there were a little awake he wouldn't fully wake them up just yet well also just getting in some early morning affection "I'm gonna start getting things ready for our big day pollito, we got a lot to do before the actual event."
If they didn't wake up he'd just try again in a bit he decided on as he started to slip out from under the rooster gently shifting them down to the bed as he scooted across the mattress. Checking again to see if they woke up yet.
"Jeez even on our wedding day you go and sleep like a log?" He asked before pressing a kiss to thier forehead. "Fine all I get to work you sleep like the lazy butt you are." He teased them to himself mostly as he went to get up from the bed now mentally setting up a checklist of all that needed to be done and then what would need to be done himself to get ready.
Pausing because it kind of just hit him now, he was getting married. Sure they have been married for a bit now and it's not the first time clearly but at the same time. Richard was getting married to Bailey again. Sitting on the edge of the bed as the idea was settling in over his shoulders right now, tail feathers fanned out across the bed. It wasn't like the last time sure because he knew what being married to Bailey was like but it was still exciting he just couldn't pinpoint what it was about this second go-around that was getting him so, well giddy to be honest. Maybe because of everything else? Even after Bailey had gone through rehab and gotten clean. He still wanted Richard in his life. That had him smiling, even more, damn it, they didn't need to actually be awake to get to him it seemed damn that brat he thought to himself.

4. [Richard/Bailey] “I love you so much, you have no idea to what limits i’d go, to prove that to you.” |word count 1,668 | @aflockoffeathers
NSFW content: Yandere themes, injuries, car accidents, violence. Alcohol mentioned 
a/n  Don’t hurt his rooster, more Richard in this one since the nugget got hurt
--
Richard had been in this place before, coming into the hospital to the sight of Bailey resting in one of the rooms. Though not so late in the night when visitors were not really allowed in. His heart unsettled and heavy  when walking into their room. Looking at how they were propped up on the bed with a good pile of pillows behind their back, well he did always like being comfortable, Richard thought as he entered the room. The only noise came from them as they rested and the machine in the room. Richard took a seat on the side of the bed and looked Bailey over. Part of him was aware that it wasn’t that bad but staring at the cast on his leg, broken femur,  made his eyes narrow down at it. There were some signatures on it from two other visitors already likely Sue and Val but it was too dark to see, but it was a pretty easy guess to make. Eyes trailing up their body, left arm in a brace and sling, dislocated shoulder, also a brace around their neck, due to damage from whiplash. It was a miracle they were only like this.
Richard scoffed at that. 
Bruises dark enough to show over feathers and a shiner on his right eye. Feathers were a mess, Bailey likely was upset about that alone. Softly resting pain medicine seemed to be working to keep him comfortable. He was going to be fine but would need to stay in the hospital for some time. Before getting to be discharged even after that these wounds would take time to heal. That made Rihard seethe with anger the most. What was worse was the reason behind it all. Bailey was in a car accident and rear ended the other driver. Only Bailey got hurt though, but the crash was on him still.  
“Who hurt you?” was all Richard simply asked of them. No answer of course, Richard stood up and looked around the room he needed to find their phone. Eye light up a moment when he finally came across it on the side table, he unlocked it and went through it. Didn’t take long to get to where he needed. A text message conversation between the two, to sort out the exchange of information. Richard glared at the screen this person seemed fishy from the messages. Bailey was too nice he wouldn’t pick up on all of this, back tracking on injuries. Gaslighting here and there, scrolling up and down Richard could pick out some conflicting and troubling responses, but Bailey was easily tricked by them. This person was up to something. 
Richard put Bailey’s phone back down then looked back to them. The sight made his blood boil, how could anyone cause harm to his Bailey. Oh don’t worry though Richard wasn going to find out what was really going and handle it. He led down and placed a kiss to Bailey’s forehead.
They stirred a bit in their sleep from the contact, slowly opening their eyes. Bailey simply smiled at him and tried to speak up. But Richard stopped him. Bailey needed to rest, that was the more important thing right now, but if Bailey spoke he might prevent Richard from doing what he needed to. When it came to Bailey Richard melted, if Bailey asked him to stay he would. He couldn't risk it now. No Richard was going to handle this no one would hurt Bailey, make a fool of him or take advantage of them.
“I know I wasn’t here earlier to see you, don’t worry I’ll be back soon.” Richard smiled darkly gently nuzzling their cheek to give a bit of affection, he knew that wasn’t enough for them but it would have to do for now 
He looked at them with a familiar dark look but different. Not fueled by love not this look that shimmered in Ricard’s eyes was more from a need to protect. It was the last thing he said to Bailey before leaving. No matter how hard it was to leave them behind like that he knew how needy and lonely they could be without him. Richard would have to make it up to them later. But for now he had someone else to meet.
---
“Ha, get this the light was red so I got outta my car to take a whizz. Light on 36 always takes forever to change right. Just my luck, some dude wrecks his car. Hit a pole and bump my car. The idiot though he hurt me though, that rich rooster guy so I decided ya know what let's milk this. He’s got all the cash to burn. After all, why not get someone for myself?” They laughed proud of themself for their scheme. “Told him we can handle it between us doesn't seem to notice my slips up here and there when I tell him about my damage and own injuries. Since we didn’t get cops involved no one even knows that the damage came from the pole he hit.” They just shrug pleased with themselves. “Isn’t that just hilarious? Bout time, some rich dude gets what is coming to them.”  They say looking across the table from them.
It was close to the last call in this small little bar, more a hole in the wall but that seemed fitting for someone like them to be spending their time at. Couple drinks and they were bragging about their little scheme for an easy buck. Hard not to when the golden eagle across from them kept providing drink after drink. It was easy to go for, free alcohol after all. 
“Yes I agree.” Richard said “He deserves everything coming for him.” he smirked under his words. Because of course he meant something different, from his opposite. 
The bartender let them know it was time to go, the man groaned he wanted more to drink. Richard was quick to suggest keeping things going with him. In private. There was no room for rejection, they were enjoying the company of the eagle. Getting alone seemed even better so they agreed happily leaving with Richard as they followed their lead.
“So tell me what injuries did you say you received from the crash?” Richard asked calmly.
They pondered a moment “heck I kind of keep forgetting but that idiot dosen’t seem to notice. Hmm whiplash forsure since I can fake that if I gotta. Said my back got all jacked up as well, my I think I said I broke my arm too least those are the one I kept track of can’t recall what I said at first decided to up the injuries a bit get some sympathy too.” they bragged. 
Just following behind the eagle not aware where they were being led to. Happy to brag about what he was getting away with. Richard though, despite how quite he kept it oh he was passed a breaking point. As he walked down into an alley his guest all unaware. Smiling to himself as he stopped suddenly they bump into him finally taking a moment to bother and see where they were.
“Is that all uh? Mm I feel we can make that worse” Richard voice cold despite the smile on his face. Turning around those amber eyes pricing the night air. “You want to have a convincing story after all don’t you?”
“Wha?” they didn’t get to finish that thought 
Richard grabbed them by the collar of their shirt and slammed them back against the cold brick wall, their head knocking against the wall making them hiss in back. “No then why don’t we make your tale ture and give you every injury you lied about? Doesn't that sound fair to you?” Richard asked, nearly purring in delight  the stare in his eyes had biome crazed. Because all he could see was the image of his Bailey in that dreaded hospital. Truth be told, Richard hated hospitals everytime he was in one; it wasn’t good. Now his beloved was in one again.
And Richard couldn’t be with him. Bailey was in pain. Bailey was alone. All because of this person, yet what made him even more mad was them calling Bailey an idiot. Richard took hold of their wrist and twisted their arm as far as it could go. The image of Bailey’s cast flashed in his mind. “I wonder if anyone will bother to sign yours? Why don’t we find out?” Pupils had shrunken  and a laugh escaped him. “Well we're at it I’ll let you know the injuries he is dealing with as well.” A quick twist to their arm so Richard could grab on to their forearm with his free hand slowly adding the pressure to the bone. The snap that came was a pleasant sound almost as good as the scream that followed.

A shift in the bed as Bailey looked over finding Richard scribbling on to the cast. “Morning love.” Richard greeted. “Are you feeling more rested today?” He followed up with. Putting the pen away once he was done writing what he wanted to. “Hope you don’t mind I peeked at your phone seems the fellow you went into the wreck with realized his car didn’t get by much he was out of it but remembered you hit a traffic light pole instead. Too much alcohol in his system at the time. Isn’t it nice of him to come forward about that?” Richard simply asked them “And you'll be able to leave soon so ill make up the lack of love you haven’t been able to get. You'll need to take it easy still though. Hopefully just attentiveness will be enough for now for you.” Richard smiled at Bailey leaning over to give them a peck on the check. 
“I love you so much, you have no idea to what limits i’d go to prove that to you.” He whispered softly to them.
