TMNT-Something has never changed Chapter 2: Something is wrong Mike's POV Did you know that, on the island, where we live, there's an orphanage? That's Leo's, Donnie's and my home. A kind human have built for every homeless children there. She's like a mother for us. She hired a chef and any cleaners so we get good food and don't need to tidy up all the building but our rooms. We can stay here untill we turn to eighteen. Actually, not much children got to the island. Luckyly, most of them have parents. ... The next morning, Leo didn't come to have breakfast. Donnie went to wake him up. I followed him. *Konck, knock* "Leo, wake up. It's breakfast time," Don said. "Yeah bro, don't miss it out," I said. After we didn't hear any noise or something Donnie opened the door. And gues what, dude, Leo wasn't there. "What..? Where is he?" I asked. "Maybe he has gone earlier." "But... without breakfast..? Hey, do you think his helping can be mine?" He hit my shoulder. "No, I guess he'll be hungry when he comes home." "Okay..." I was so disapointed. ... He wasn't at school, neither. "It's not fair. He missed out breakfast, he missed out school and what's then, he'll miss out training too?" I was complaining while we were walking to the dojo. "Idiot! May be, he is in trouble...or he just hasn't wanted to do anything today...This doesn't mean that I haven't started to worrying." *Sigh* "I hope he is fine..." "Anyway, we must tell it anyone, Donnie." ... "What if he...won't come home..?" I asked. "I don't know...You shouldn't ask things like that...or even think about it..." We continued our conversation in front of the dojo's door. "What if, Leo..." I would have continue if the master hadn't opened the door and interrupted me. "Leo!? What's with Leo?" Don's POV I didn't count on him... "Nothing," we said. Mikey and I followed him into the room, where we train, then sat down onto the tatami. Raph looked at us weirdly... "Do not lie to me! What have happend to Leo!?" he asked loudly. That scared us. 'What the heck was that..?' I thought. Suddenly, the door opened and Leo stepped in. He looked so tired and frustrated... "Leo?" Mikey and I said. "What happend?" I continued. "Where were you?" Mike asked. "N-no where...I..." "Alright. I need explanation right now!" the master ordered us."What happend?" "Nothing special. I just went to the... beach playing volleyball." Leo lied. I knew he didn't say the truth. "But you missed out sch..." I shut Mikey up with my hand. "Ohh. So there were you. We couldn't find you." I said. "So-sorry. I should have told you." he said shamefacedly. "What did he miss out?" the sensē asked. "Nothing. Mikey doesn't know what he says." So long aggravating silence... "Alright then. I'm not going to do this lesson so you can go home." This really surprised me. "Really..?" I asked. "Of course." "YEAH!" Mikey stood up. "Mikey!" I said. "Sayonara sensē." Then he ran away. "Sayonara," I said. "Hey! Mikey, wait up." Raph's POV 'Finally...but they were so weird. Like they are hiding something from me...' I was thinking when I realised Leo headed to the exit. "Wait! I want to talk to you," I stopped him. He turned around"...Hai sensē...' he said. 'Oh, poor boy...You look so frustrated and frightend...Is this because of me???' "I...I want to...Just forgive me, please..." "Forgive you..? But what did you do?" 'Wha..?Did he really forget it!?' "Ohh! I got it! Don't worry. I know I was so annoying and...you were...I just wanted to know what had happend..." "I know and I'm glad you are worrying about me, however, it isn't necessary...I am so sorry becuse I shouted at you...It wasn't your fault..." "...No problem..." He was quiet for a minute and watched down to the floor. During, that minute I just could watch him. His face was a thing I wanted to touch. That cute face...Those eyes were beautiful when their owner looked up... "Anyway, don't you think you should be at home now?" I asked. "Yeah, I think I had better to leave now. I don't like when Donnie is worrying...Sometimes, he's acting like he would be my mom..." *Chuckle*"Then sayonara, gakusē." "Sayonara, sensē," He said with a huge smile. ... At home, I still couldn't forget that dream and the guy's weird behaviour. 'What if something truly happened to my dearly loved Leo...I need to find out the truth...If anyone hurts him I will...do...I don't know what but I swear I will!' ... At night, I was going to make my dinner but when I wanted to start it I accidentally broke a glass. "Fuck!" It cut my hand so badly. "Shit! That hurts like hell!" I needed to go to the hospital. They sewed it then bandaged. At home, the kitchen was full of blood.Guess what who had to clean all up? Me..! Who else? ... When I was sleeping that dream came back and scared me. "This night becomes better and better..." I couldn't sleep all over that night. ... A month later Raph's POV Luckyly, my injury didn't took more than two weeks. The guys asked me what happend. I answered I just hurt my hand. I got any response from Leo, only. "How painful could it be..." he said. "Nah, it wasn't..." I tried to look stronger than I'm really. "Wonder how strong you are..." "...Thanks..." 'He wonders how strong I am...He said it on his cutest tone...' ... "The more practice, the better achievement. Do not forget it boys." "Hai, sensē." "You can leave now." "Sayonara," they said. "My favourite day is Friday like today because no trainig for the next two days. Which is yours, Don... Did I say that aloud," Mike was talking while he was heading to the exit. "Yes, you did however it's not a problem because everyone knows you aren't one of the kindest and most silent persons of the world. Actually, I know you are so lazy, sometimes," Don teased him. "HEY!" Mikey shouted we laughed at him. "You know it isn't what I meant." "Easy, boy. I know but we had better to go now," Donnie broke the laughing. "Are you coming, Leo?" "Why not." "Have you got a minute? I need to talk to you, Leonardo." "Sorry guys..." "Okay. See you," Don said and the two of them left. I led him into a back room. There I sat down to the tiny japanese table. He followed me. "Well...Why do you want to talk to me?" he was so curious. "Because...in the last month you weren't on top and now, your achievement is getting worse and worse. You miss out the plus training and you are always late." He looked in my eyes scaredly. "Leo, kid. What's happening to you? I really would like to know." "Nothing. I...I have no time...That's only." 'Oh, boy. You don't need to lie to me.' I thought. "Are you sure?" "Yes." 'I can see you aren't...' I thought. "If you need I'm always beside you. I'll help you in everything just tell me your problems. I promise." Leo's POV 'why do I need to tell you anything..? Please, just let me go. What do you want more?' I thought. "Take my advice. You should have a rest at the weekend and give over the things you can't deal with. Unless you don't take it into consideration you will be worn out...I...I don't want to see you like this... I-I love...love you as you would be my son..." he flushed and wacthed me scaredly. '...Yo-your son..? Hey, why are you flushing..?' I was startled. "Se-sensē...I-I don't know...what to say..." "...Don't need to anything...Ju-just go home...and leave me alone..." 'Huh..? Live you alone..?' "Why? Wha-what happened?" "NOTHING..! Ju-just go..!" he was so angry and that scared me badly. "Ha-hai..." I couldn't say it easyly because of the fear I felt. I just stood up and ran away as fast as I could. By the time, I left the dojo my tears started to pouring down on my cheeks. I couldn't hold them back, anymore. 'Why is always everything my fault..? I'm sure they all hate me..! Bu-but I don't know why... What did I do!?' ... I was running. Running for hours. I didn't wanted to get home never again. That was my wrost decision, ever. Raph's POV *Grrr*'Poor boy... I didn't want to... Fuck! If I wanna love him, I'll hurt him... Shit..! But I still need to do something...' I thought. I didn't want to break anything in the dojo so I went home as fast as I could. There I tried to calm myself down. Unfortunately, I broke any plates, glasses and a vase... ... At night, I had that fucking dream again..! I couldn't sleep because it made me so angry. I just walked around in my room, all night. TBC
