Month 5 / Day 1
-----------------------
Embraced by something warm and soft, it wrapped around April tightly.
It wasn’t material, though she could feel some pieces touching her skin, what was it?
Hissing sounds accompanied by annoying yet familiar sounds that were in perfect rhythm, surrounded her.
Hesitantly April attempted to open her eyes, yet didn’t succeed, part of her didn’t want too, and just continued to snuggle into whatever was so pleasant touching her body, also there was this aroma to it that was a bit alluring, comforting, she felt safe, relaxed even.
Nothing she could think of could make such a captivating smell; what could it be?
(I don’t want to get up… mmm it smells so good and feels so nice…)
Deep down all April wanted was to stay put for a bit longer, fearing that if she opened her eyes the warmth the sweet smell would be only a dream.
Curiosity finally won over, begging her to take a peek and figure out this mysterious thing that was such a wonderful sensation.
She reluctantly opened her eyes, her vision blurry at first, cleared as she became aware she didn’t have the faintest idea where she was.
Viewing her surroundings she saw a lot of pipes, some hissed with steam, was she in some sort of boiler room?
It would explain the warm air and pipes, but not the rest, looking down, she notice a blanket was wrapped around her and something else underneath.
In wonder she peeked through the blanket, April was surprised to see two green arms holding her, who would be holding her, couldn’t be could it!
(…)
Slowly tilting her head up, there fast asleep was Raph, he even had his bandana off that hung around his neck, this was the first time she has ever seen him without it on.
The annoying sound she heard earlier was his snoring; the pipes were competing in volume with it she noticed.
(Why is Raph holding me…)
April felt her face starting to get hotter as she watched Raph sleep; he was quite cute asleep with his bandana off, his jaw line...
Shaking her head, she cut off the thought before it continued, she had to focus on other matters.
(Um… ok… so where am I, what happened…)
The only last memory she could find was Raph asking her if she was ok, everything went blank after that.
For the life of her, she couldn’t figure out why, she wasn’t hurt that was for sure, then why did she pass out?
Debating if she should get up or not, April stared forward, she could try to get up, but that would probably wake Raph, he seemed peaceful and she really didn’t want to wake him.
Suddenly Raph shuffled holding her closer to him, what was she to do?
Feeling really tired herself, she eased up a bit, he was so warm, this moment was the warmest she felt since winter came, why fight it?
Giving into her urges, April laid her head into Raph arms as she started to drift back to sleep, figuring he would never notice she ever woke up in the first place; he would think she was shifting in her sleep that’s all.
“April?” a voice came piercing through the serenity of her dream.
“April, come on. It's time to get up,” the voice rang again.
Slowly April opened her eyes, Raph was leaning down in front of her, she was the only one wrapped up in the blanket, was she dreaming of him holding her?
(He was holding me, right… that was real? If it was he is sure not acting like it even happened…)
Looking at her sideways, Raph tried to read her unsure what to say he stared at her, then finally said something, “April are you ok?”
“I think sooo… Raph what happened?” April looked behind him; she was still in the same room as before, it couldn’t have been a dream...
Raph placed his hand over her forehead to check her temperature, “Well, you passed out, are you sure you feel ok,” hand still on her forehead, April cheeks started to feel hot and red.
With an odd look Raph suddenly turned red himself, then quickly he turned away getting up looking at one of the pipes like there was something interesting about them.
(He is blushing… wait am I blushing!)
“I figured as much that I passed out, but why? Where are we?” April watched Raph’s body movements as he continued looking at the pipes as if he did find something fascinating about it.
“We…,” Raph coughed to clear his suddenly squeaky voice, “We're in a boiler room in the morgue. Don’t worry, no one ever comes down here. As for what happened, I think you got hypothermia; you were so cold, your lips even turned blue. I brought you here right away.”
(Well then…)
“I did, I guess the warmest place you knew of, was this place?” April didn’t mention the fact he was holding her, though it did all made sense now.
If she did indeed had hypothermia, body heat would be the fastest way to warm her up.
“Sorry Raph, I must have scared you half to death…”
Shaking his head, he sighed, “A bit, April no offense, but why the hell were you outside, on your own and without a winter jacket on?”
“Well for starters I don’t have one remember, my old stuff doesn’t fit me anymore and my uncle only had regular clothes,” April answered him.
“Ok…then why not borrowed Mikey’s or Leo’s. Hell, why the hell did those two even let you go out alone in the first place!” anger flashed in Raph’s eyes as he growled over the notion.
“Actually, they don’t even know that I left the lair and if I did wear one of their jackets, I feared you would have avoided me thinking I was them. I had to wear something that was yours so you would recognize it. It's not like I could walk around not concealed, I couldn’t risk anyone seeing me, looking like this,” April pointed to her face.
Raph paused at what she said with a concerning look on his face, as if he disagreed with part of her statement.
(Why is he looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?)
“… April your beaut…rrr…well, umm… fine. Damn it April, I wish you didn’t leave the lair with no one knowing that you have left or where you were going. What if I didn’t hear that first gun shot, you could be in a snow bank frozen to death or worse… if anything happened to you…,” Raph crossed his arms looking away, frustrated and a bit embarrassed.
(…)
“Well, you have found me, I figure you would either way,” she smiled, hoping it will ease the tension in the room, and Raph would stop acting over protective and so weird.
Shaking his head, Raph huffed, “That is besides the point! April why… why come find me in the first place?”
April got to her feet, not taking the blanket off, “Simple I want to bring you home.”
“No.”
Glaring at Raph she wasn’t letting him off that easy, “Why not Raph, come on it’s been almost two weeks. Your fight with Leo has to be over by now.”
Slamming his hand into one of the pipes Raph ground his teeth, “It’s never over, why the hell should I go back home, what does it matter! If I do, Leo would just scold me like… like some child!!”
“Home isn’t the same anymore, believe it or not Raph, we miss you, even Leo!”
Growling under his breath, Raph refused to make eye contact with her, “Sure he does, he’s probably relieved he doesn’t have to deal with me and only has to worry about Donnie and Mikey,” Raph threw his hands up in the air as he started to walk away from her.
(No, there is no way he is walking away from me on this!)
Pissed at his stubbornness, April went forward grabbing Raph’s arm, forcing him to face her, then with that same hand she pushed Raph against one of the large pipes holding him there.
“Listen here Raphael, you can be stubborn all you want and maybe in truth, I really don’t have the right to get in the middle. But you have to know that back home, your home, your brothers are all falling apart. You all need each other, don’t you understand! Damn it, Raph I swear I don’t know who is more stubborn to admit that; you have to stick together. You with your god damn so called don’t care attitude or Leo with his responsibility and pride that I swear makes him put his head up his ass sometimes. This vicious cycle has to end now!” huffing April glared into his eyes, her temper was loose and she wasn’t going to stand down.
Silence filled the room, Raph only stared at her, then finally he responded with a surprised look, “Wow April I didn’t know you could be so… so aggressive, or have that kind of strength to be able to slam me into this pipe… Wait… Did you just say Leo puts his head up his ass,” suddenly Raph started to roar on the comment.
Realizing that she did, her face turned white, “I… crap… please Raph don’t tell him I said that… I lost my temper and I really didn’t…”
(Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I just said that about Leo… if he ever found out he would hate me.)
“Don’t worry April I won't tell, it’s just awesome to hear someone say something like that about him and you of all people too!” Raph gave another roar.
(… He does know that I didn’t mean it, right? It was my temper talking…)
With a sigh, April let go of Raph as she backed away from him, “Please Raph reconsider and come home.”
Stopping his laughing fit, Raph eyes became hollow, “No, sorry April I can’t.”
“Why?” she asked, feeling the conversation just started at the beginning.
“Just cause,” Raph rubbed his arm, staring at the ground.
(Is it me or does he look ashamed? Did he say something he really regrets to Leo? Is that why he doesn’t want to come home?)
“Just cause isn’t an answer, please Raph at least tell me why. You know you can talk to me right?”
Looking at her, Raph debated biting his lower lip; the ashamed look seemed more targeted towards her, why would he be, he never did anything to her.
“It’s because of Donnie…,” Raph finally got out, although it strained him to do so.
“I understand thing seem bleak with him right now, but we can’t just give up on him. We have to be there when he awakes. Who knows, he might be…”
Raph cut her off, shaking his head with a sigh, “No, that’s not what I mean…”
Confused by the way Raph was acting, April didn’t quite get it, she studied his body movements to see if it would shed some light.
(What does he mean, that’s not it? Then what else about Donnie would prevent Raph from coming home? Raph is not making any sense.)
Wary, Raph looked into Aprils eyes, he was fighting back the tears, April wasn’t sure if she should console Raph or wait until he explained himself.
“April… I… You know the incident on the roof of your apartment; both you and Leo blame yourselves for what happened to Donnie… It’s not true, neither one of you are truly at fault…,” shifting his feet Raph stared at the ground again.
“What do you mean; no one could have known of how that day's events would have played out. So yes, I blamed myself, that's because I could have stopped him before he got to the roof and…”
“Damn it April! It’s not your fault or Leo’s regardless!! So stop blaming yourself, damn it Leo kept doing the same!!” Raph looked back up at her anger and guilt in his eyes, “ Damn it, Donnie wouldn’t have left the lair… if it wasn’t for me! I lost my temper on the fact of what he did to you, which in turn made you leave. He hurt you when you have been so kind to him and us. I told him off, told him it was all his fault. I told him what he did is something my true brother wouldn’t do!”
Shocked April just stared at Raph, unsure what to say.
(They… Donnie kept saying they told him, Donnie meant Raph… that’s what put him on the edge. The way he was at the moment, he might have thought I was just leaving for a bit, Raph must have told him I was never coming back…)
Ashamed Raph turned around slamming his fist into the pipe, covering his face with his other hand, “I’m such an idiot! I let my anger get the best of me and let it control me. I told my sick brother, he was nothing!! I even went as far as telling him he was a disgrace and that he wasn’t my brother at all and I didn’t care about him… But I do… I upset him and the worst part, I wanted him to leave and was happy when he did at first… Damn it!!! What the hell is wrong with me!!”
Slowly April came up to Raph’s side, then wrapped her arms around him, surprised Raph turned his head towards her, his eyes were blood shot from his tears, “April? Why are you not mad at me? You should hate me for what I said to Donnie.”
With a sigh April shook her head, “What’s with you and Donnie, thinking I should hate you for the mistakes you have done, don’t you feel guilty over them? If so why punish you when that guilt is your punishment, why should I be mad? What happened, happened. That said, its best you come home so you can apologize to Donnie, then start things over again, it’s that simple.”
Confused by her calm and forgiving ways, Raph just stared at her, “It’s never that easy.”
“Says who? Come on Raph, do you really like living in a boiler room under a morgue, aren’t you worried about zombies, this would be the first place they would hunt,” April joked, trying to lighten the mood, for if the conversation continues she feared she would never get through to him.
Regardless of what he did, he didn’t mean too, everyone makes mistakes, the best way to fix those mistakes is to confront them or even apologize to the one you made the mistake with, he had to come home to make amens.
Studying her Raph thought for second on the things she said, then he couldn’t hold back his smile, “Really, I figured it would be a graveyard, that an ugly ass zombie would hunt down some poor sucker’s brains.”
There it was, his smile, his real smile, the one that April liked seeing on his face, in return, she smiled warmly back, “Nah many people are cremated these days, and the bodies that are in the ground, their brains must be worm food by now.”
With a cough Raph laughed, “Wow, we have to make sure to cut down your movie time with Mikey or time with him period; I think you’re catching his weirdness disease.”
“Sooo I presume when you say we, you mean you and Leo? So that means you’re coming home?” April crossed her fingers that Raph didn’t back down and returned to being stubborn again.
Raph thought on it, then sighed, “Yeah, but on one condition.”
Raising her eyebrow she studied him, “Ok, what is that condition?”
Leaning towards her, he was inches away from her beak, she could feel his warm, sweet breath, “You promise that here on out, you would at least tell someone that you’re leaving the lair. Don’t make one of us worry about you ok… and…”
“Wait, what do you mean and? You said one condition,” April narrowed her eyes at him, trying to figure out what he was up too.
With a devilish smile Raph became amused, “And you have to promise not to mention that we spent last night in each others arms regardless of the fact I was keeping you warm. Also…,” Raph smile grew wider, “Also the part where you woke up and decided to stay in my arms for the remainder of the night.”
With that Raph turned around quickly starting to pack up his things, as April just stared at him in complete disbelief.
April felt her face go red again, as the memories of him holding her bubbled up to the surface and her decision to stay in his arms after she woke up the first time.
(… So he was awake… he knew… ummm… Is it me or was there a twinkle in his eye when he said that…)
