(no subject)

Who: [livejournal.com profile] i_speak_softly and [livejournal.com profile] gaijin_ninja (with [livejournal.com profile] honorthecode and [livejournal.com profile] after_march possibly joining later)
What: It wasn't (entirely) Don's fault. Raph doesn't care.
When: Relatively early this morning.
Where: House 55.
Summary: Raph does not approve of Don's behavior during the experiment. He will inform Don of this as soon as he finds him. Ah, there he is.
Rating: ... I'm guessing fairly high.

Don hasn't been home in two days, and it would be too much to hope that this has escaped Raphael's notice. Oh, how the tables have turned. It was always Raph, never Don, who suffered Splinter's wrath for coming home late. But a lot has changed in a year.

He doesn't even bother trying to sneak in a back way. It would only serve to marginally delay his fate. So he goes in the front door, head down, dreading the gauntlet he knows is waiting for him.

"Okay, okay. I was just sayin'." That does make him feel better, though. He pulls out a chair and sits down, wrapping his hands around his coffee mug. "I was sittin' here for two days with Leo thinkin' up worse case scenarios. Cut a guy a break."

Ah, coffee. The stuff Raph makes could probably peel paint off walls, and he only drinks it black. "I dunno. Everybody was runnin' around like they were on E or somethin'. Winry tried to kiss me and Isamu was tryin' to convince me to let him ride my shell. Moron."

He pauses to drink from his mug, sighing.

"Somethin' about that tree made everybody all gaga for one another or somethin'. You know, Valentine's. So the Mallies gotta make this whole twisted shindig. Makes me want to puke."

"I dunno. I'm stayin' off the journals. Haven't heard back from April yet, though."

"No. Leo told me she was off marryin' some guy in spandex."

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
He grunts, drinks from his coffee again. He did worry about her, and he wanted nothing better than to punch that guy in the face. But there was too much happening at once, and sometimes wayward brothers just matter more than anything else.

"Guess not."

Around then, the front door swings open and in comes Leo. He'll check around a minute before finding them in the kitchen.

"Don! Where have you been?"

Would've been nice if you showed up five minutes ago, Fearless. But eh, whatever. Raph'll just sit here and drink his coffee.

"Why didn't you call in and let us know where you were?" Leo will sit down as well. He was relieved to see his brother.

[identity profile] honorthecode.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Leo sighs. "We didn't know where you were. Also we had no contact from you. Just that Raph saw you near that willow tree."

Raph snorts into his coffee. "Yeah, for two days."

He knows he's not one to talk, but at least it's old hat for him. Whenever he doesn't show up, everyone just shrugs and knows he'll come back eventually. But there's something about Don being the same flavor of irresponsible that felt more like the dawn of the Apocalypse. Don just doesn't do that.

But then again, you really can't blame the guy for getting carried away by an event. It happens to the best of them. He's more disappointed that Don just couldn't resist like he and Leo seemed to be able to.

"The important thing is you're safe." He looks at Raph for a moment, then back to Don. "Any idea where your journal could be?"

[identity profile] meanandgreen.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Raph just shrugs. He could push it even further and ask Don why he didn't borrow somebody else's, but like Leo said, he's home, he's safe, and that's all that matters.

"Glad I didn't get caught up in that crud. Everybody was actin' stupid. I thought Winry was gonna try and kiss me. I told her to beat it."

He says that with a little more pride than he ought to, considering he was hyperventilating and hiding behind a tree when it happened. But hey, a turtle can dream, can't he?

"No body tried to kiss me." He looks relieved. "Had a few trying to get me under that tree. Or try to hug me." Which is strange idea in of itself. "I managed to escape them." And retreat back to the house.

Raph can't help but chuckle at the idea of Leo getting hounded by love drunk lunatics. Man, he wishes he was there to see that. "Glad you're puttin' those ninja skills to work, Leo."

He tilts his chair backward, balancing it easily on two legs. The grin doesn't leave his face.

Leo gives Raph a look for a moment, before he grins a little. "It was good practice." Practicing in dodging crazy people, just like old times. Don's shifting turns his attention to their brainiac brother though.

"Don?"
