mnt_raphWAKE UP.
So he does, because when the Dream King expels you from his Kingdom, the only thing you can do is comply.
And as quickly as frickin' possible.
Raph groans slightly as his eyes work their way open. His body aches and his eyes burn. Weeks of non-use have taken their toll, and Raph did not have exact change. It's hard for him to focus on the room with the lights as dim as they are, but he begins to get a sense of where he is...and that he's not alone. He tries to sit up, but is unsuccessful.
"Raph? Keep still. It's okay. You're here. You're safe."
Leo. It's Leo. Just Leo. Raph stops fighting, and lays back down comforted that the shape in the shadow to his left is just his brother.
"hey..."
His voice is low, barely more than a strained whisper.
"...what's a guy gotta do to get some food 'round here?"
The shadow on the left leans forward, revealing an Asian man, and not the green skinned shape Raph was expecting. After a moment the man's expression cracks, breaking into a very distinctively dignified smile. There is no mistaking the man is Leo. But...human? When the heck did that happen?
"HEY!," he yells towards the door. "He's awake! He wants some food! Bring some food!"
Raph groans again as the shout reverberates between his ears. He reaches up to Leo in an effort to shush him, but instead finds himself pulled into a hug by his older brother.
"Don't you ever do that again. Do you hear me? We've been worried sick."
"yeah yeah, a'right Leo. jus'...get off me!"
But his older brother, caught in a moment of human emotional affection, doesn't budge. Just then the door to the bedroom opens, flooding the once dark and peaceful room with a nearly overwhelming amount of light and sound. The outside world is in, and it's not leaving without a fight.
Just as Raph's eyes adjust a flash cube explodes, and the tell-tale whirr of a Poloroid camera can be heard over the din.
"It's a Kodak moment," explains Don, just before Mike pushes past him with a tray of food. Stampy scoots in between Mike's feet, trumpeting her impending assault on the bed.
It's possible, Raph thinks to himself, that he was better off asleep.
Happy Birthday Raph, and welcome home.
