I do not own TMNT or any of the characters or anything related or in common with it. If you have any problem with me just wait! I'll let you know when I care.
"Oh,"Raphael it's nice to see you again dearie" Mrs. Morrison gave him a soft sweet smile. Raph smiled back and brought the teacup to his lips, when the liquid in the teacup touched his lips. Raph immediately pulled back and looked at the teacup and smelled it. Leo drinks this type of tea, mint lemon verbena herbal tea, Raph grabbed his cup tighter and bit into his lip. Even if he wasn't around Leo, he couldn't stop thinking about him.
"Eh, it's good ta' see ya again Ms. Morrison" Raph greeted back keeping the frustration out of his voice, but letting it carry like a heavy accent. Mrs. Morrison did not need to see the young man to know something was bugging him. Reaching forward and placing her hand on Raph's upper arm and rubbing slowly concern written on her face.
"Raphael, are you ok?" Mrs. Morrison asked as she used her other hand to set the teacup down on its tiny plate. She felt Raph tense beneath her hand. She knew he for some reason hated being touched but at some time she could get away with it.
"Mrs. Morrison, I...I...I don't kno' wha' ta do..." Raph whispered dropping his head, and laying it softly on the table. Mrs. Morrison smiled and stopped rubbing his upper arm.
"About what darling?" She asked as her tiny feline friend hoped uptopp the table and began to climb on Raph purring and meowing, normally that would have Raph laughing softly, petting her, but this time he just signed, picked her up, only to set her down on the ground. The cat stopped mid meow when her paws touched the floor and not a shoulder.
"I…...can't seem ta focus.." Raph tried to explain, tried to find something to replace the original words he wanted to say. How could he say? this to her? how could he explain? why was he here? Raph buried his head in his hands.
"Focus on what, sunshine?" Mrs. Morrison smile as she stood up softly trembling using her chair, and the table as leverage for her. Once she was up with the help of the table, chair, and Raphael. She moved to the kitchen to get more tea.
"So, lately my mind has b'n stucka on someon-thin'! and it's driving me crazy no mattah what I do it's there" Raph tried his best to explain using something else to replace something else. Mrs. Morrison face contracted in confusion, she put the large teapot down on the counter and made her way back to the table.
"Have you ever tried hiding it or moving this 'something' so that it isn't bothering you? like try not to look at it, or cover it, or even throw it away. If it drives you crazy" Mrs. Morrison said Raph lifted his head and slammed his hand on the table startling Mrs. Morrison.
"I WOULD NEVA' DO THAT!" Raph shouted then blushed when Mrs. Morrison had leaned back so Raph wouldn't bite her head off.
"But deary, I don't understand...didn't you say that it's driving you crazy?" Mrs. Morrison trying to understand the situation, what? they were talking about material things weren't they? Raph shook his head then abruptly moved knocking the chair too the floor.
"Yes!, yes! I know, but I can't for some stupid reason I can't get rid of what's bugging me, and I…..I…..completely love it, but hate it at the same time" Raph started pacing back in forth in front of Mrs. Morrison hands at the side of his head. Why was this so confusing?!
"Raphael..." Mrs. Morrison called softly smile playing against her lips as she finally figure out Raph's 'little' problem
"I mean yeah it's crazy why would this damn thing leave me alone!" Raph continued to rant and pace noting catching how Mrs. Morrison was calling him.
"Raphael…."
"And then when I finally think i'm over it. Here that 'something' comes making it harder to ignore the first time around!"
Leo pouted, and rolled his eyes as Raph smirked and poked his 5'5 older brother in the chest while he stood a proud 6'3 way above him.
"And honestly it terrifies me to the point where I can't even be in the same room with 'it'" Raph said his voice holding nothing, but fear.
"Raph!, wait please you know I didn't mean it" Leo whispered when he managed to reach forward and grab his younger brother by the arm and pull him back.
"And, every time i try to get away"
Raph kept his head buried in his hands as he felt the tears continued to fall from his eyes and run down his hands. he stayed in the far corner of his room, hoping no one would knock and they all would just. Leave. Him. Alone.
"It always manages to find me"
Leo stood and watched silently as Raph sat in the farthest corner of his room in the shadow area. Leo walked all the way in and closed his door and locked it to make sure they had privacy. Then Leo decided to walk to him, and sit down right behind him and leaned forward to rest on Raph's shell bringing in huge amount of comfort to Raph
Raph stopped pacing and buried his face in his hands shaking his head, smiling against himself.
"And I think what I hate the most was that at times. I yearned for him to be near me"
Raph silently sat by the edge of the couch watching as Leo's chest rise and fall. Raph could've swore he's never prayed so hard in his entire life, all he wanted was for his brother to wake up.
"I don't know what to do" Raph said picking up his head and swiping some of the ew tears that leaked through. Mrs. Morrison smiled she had never ever 'it' be quoted or put like that before! she remember the time she gave that effect to her husband.
"And it feels like I don't know, something's wrong like I shouldn't be acting or feeling like this but it feels so right..." Raph admitted
"Because you're in Love"
Well that's reasonab-!, what the FUCK!?
Raph turned around and laughed before catching the seriousness in Mrs. Morrison's voice and written all on her face. Raph immediately stopped laughing.
"You can't be serious?" Raph said totally exhausted his voice
"I'm dead, Raphael everything you describe is everything a person in Love, would describe it as" Mrs. Morrison said pouring her some more tea. Raph blushed heavily before barking
"W-who said that another person was involved in this?!" Mrs. Morrison smile. Guess people in love could be very very clueless.
"You know when they rant, and, rant, and rant, and rant about the same 'it' for about 25 minutes, and start to zone out. Unless this isn't a person, and you really fell in love some material thing, then seek help, Raphael" Mrs. Morrison explained to Rapheal, Raph signed and dropped his shoulder he's that easy to read, huh?
"What should I do?" Raph said as he picked up then chair and plopped back down in the chair across from Mrs. Morrison. Mrs. Morison shrugged and brought the teacup back up to her lips.
"Tell her how you feel" Mrs. Morrison stated simply causing Raph to chuckled.
"I don't think he'll like that..ya now the stuck up type" Raph snickered as Mrs. Morrison blush a bit and set her teacup back down.
"Then maybe just be blunt about it, go and say I love you and/or be mine, then kiss" Mrs. Morrison suggested Raph groaned, and leaned back and rubbed his hands over his face.
"I...I… that sound ridiculous" Raph signed Mrs. Morris laughed softly. Looking at her hand she showed Raph her left hand with a big diamond on her ring finger.
"That's what he did" Mrs. Morrison whispered softly a sad glint in her eye. She misses Harold, but it seems that even if he left the earth, he never left her heart. Raph looked down at the ring and then back up at the old lady
"How long?"
"45 years we were going for 50, but it seems life had other plans for him"
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean-"
"No, no it's fine, babe. Don't apologize, you just go, and make your move" Mrs. Morrison smiled and encourage him. Raph smiled hope, fear, uncertainty and excitement filled his eyes. Standing up he ran toward the door and opened it before shouting back.
"Thanks Mrs. Morrison I will!" Raph said winking at the end of the sentence and charging out the window. Mrs. Morrison smiled and rubbed the back of her cat's head as she leapt and landed on top of her lap.
"Ah, Rapheal, only gets harder from here, but i'm sure you'll make through"
Mrs. Morrison, is an actual character she shows in episode Touch and Go or something like that? but yeah! I love her and her interaction with Rapheal it's so cute!.
