Stitches (TMNT)

#2

Thanks for all the support! So here's your part two!

Mikey looking at his Red masked brother strangely

Why was he shaking?

Raph was indeed shaking, not of anger but of fear ...... pure cold-blooded fear

"M-mikey ....... oh god" he managed to choke out, he could feel his eyes getting blurry and his heart racing while his feet fell numb

Mike gave a sad look..

Wasn't Raph supposed to say ' great job mikey ' or something among those lines?

Had he disappointed Raph again?

'B-but this is what he said! He wanted this!' Mike thought bitterly

Mike tried to speak..
.
.
.
.
He couldn't

Every time mikey tried to open his mouth, he felt a piercing pain in his mouth. His lips were raw and still bleeding ....... but he knew it would get worse after the anaesthetic wore out and the numbness would fade.

That's right..... He used anaesthetic, he wasn't stupid, he knew the muscles in his lips were fragile. How many times had he bitten his lip in worry, But not fully bitting down because of the stinging pain his teeth did once they landed on the flesh.

Mike put his hand on his lips...

He just sewed his mouth shut....

For nothing........

He felt a small amount of rage build inside him, but it died down as he tried to reason with himself:

'Maybe he just doesn't like blood?

Maybe he'll like it once he sees how quite it is?

Ya ...... that must be it! He's said 'shut up' to me enough times to know that he wants this

He wants this

He wants the silence'

Mikey mentally nodded at his explanation, it made sense .......

Didn't it?

He suddenly heard a sob in front of him?

Raph was crying...

What?

Raphael Thie Raphael was crying... sobbing in fact....

Salty tears ran down his face, misery clouding his face....

Mikey was even more confused now........ He didn't want to make his brother sad? What had Michelangelo done wrong?

Raph's hands were curled up in tight fists. He was trying to keep himself from screaming in agony..... in anger ............

He failed...

Leo and Don waited in the kitchen for there remaining brothers

"How long does it take to wake up mikey?" Don asked, breaking the 5 minute silence

Leo shrugged "he's a heavy sleeper"

Donatello drummed his fingers against the table where 4 bowls of cereal, 4 plates of eggs and a carton of orange juice lay.

"Maybe we should of started with training before eating breakfast? On these days it takes us longer to get down to some hard work, I mean.... sensei already skipped breakfast and is meditating in the dojo"

Don nodded in agreement "i guess your right ....... when you know your going to be hit over the head with a wooden stick if your late, we tend to move faster" he let a smile twist on his face

Leo grinned aswell "ya..."

Suddenly, they heard on eyes piercing scream, erupting from there youngest brothers room

Without a second thought, they both made a mad dash for the room. Almost knocking down the table of food

When they arrived at mikey's door. They spotted Raph on his knee's in the doorway

" raph! What's goin-"

Leo thought that there was something wrong with his eyes when he saw raph's face flooded with tears

"Raph? ..... what's going on? Where's mikey?"

Don entered the room, putting a comforting hand on raph's shell

"Raph? Are you ok?"

Raph shook his head, a hand covering his eyes....

"Where's mikey?" Leo followed up, this whole thing was very confusing..

Why was raph crying?

Where is mikey?

And .......

Leonardo froze

Why was there blood on the carpet?

Well..... hello everyone, here's the newest chapter! And thank you so much for the comments! I really appreciate it! So I was wondering? Do you want this to become a full fledged story or not?
