Stitches (TMNT)

#7

S'been a while, huh guys?

"Um, sensai" Leonardo slid the traditional door open and steeped inside

"What is is my child" splinter spoke with his eyes still shut "I sensed a disturbance in the area, and thought you might arrive to enlighten me.." he tone was soft but demanding

"I- father...." he couldn't find the words to tell him if what had happened "mikey.."

"Ah, so what has Michelangelo done?"

Be calm Leo, be calm

"H-he's hurt.... really hurt"

How else would you describe it?

Sensei half lidded eyes snapped open and he immediately rose out of his usual spot on the old Japanese rug and sped past Leo

Leonardo took no notice if the sudden hostility and followed behind his adoptive father

"What has happened to him?"

This time you could actually hear it.... The worry, the panic that lingered in each word

"I don't know how to.... how to say it, without-" he cringed a little

Spinter gave him a sharp but curious look

"I understand, my son" though he probably didn't truly understand the situation, he definitely felt the pain Leonardo was feeling

He patted Leo's shoulder in a comforting manager before they continued on their way

(Meanwhile in donnie's lab)

Donnie was almost done, he managed to calm the freckled turtle down and pull the thin bits of thread through the broken skin, and out through the almost healed holes

He whipped the dry and crispy blood off with a wet towel, he continued to dab them with a paper towel before rubbing a ointment to smoothen out the damage and keep the flesh from getting infected

The scarey thing about the whole procedure was that mikey's eyes were open

They were staring at him

There was no judgment behind those beautiful blue eyes, just fear and confusion

"D-donnie?" He croaked

"Hm?, yeah m-mikey"

it sounded casual, he was trying to be casual, but all-in-all, he sounded pathetic..

"Am I crazy?....?"

That was a tough one...

Donatello felt sick to his stomach when trying to think of an answer

Was his brother crazy?

"D-do you feel crazy"

Stupid question, donnie

Did he really expect mikey to answer him with all honesty?

His chocolate brown eyes were looking everywhere except at his little brother's face, was he scared to look again into those baby blues and diagnose if his metal state was still in one piece?

Donnie finally built up the courage to look at his brother, and he couldn't belive his eyes as a sudden fear shot up his spine

Mikey was smiling

"Sorta"

In all honesty I forgot about this fic, hope you enjoyed it though!
