What's up, Mona? [Has let go of Mondo's claw for now. Beaming. Smiling. Flourishing. In his Lane.]

[SHAKING MONDO'S CLAW AND MAKING EYE CONTACT WITH HER.] RAPH IS SO EXCITED TO MEET YOU /AND/ SEE MY LOVELY GIRLFRIEND IN THE SAME PLACE! :)

[Tail wagging as he spots @balladofmonalisa.bsky.social and @w0rm-0ff-thestring.bsky.social!] Oooooh oh! Hi, babe! Are you okay? Your eyes look a lil puffed up. . .

Sorry, Mikey. . . [Grumbled, as he hears voices near the lair entrance. RUNNING towards it to greet Mona and her sibling!]

Mikey, it was an emergency, there was no way she'd give an ETA! She ain't no airport attendant! [Imagining her in the uniform. Aww.]

No idea, Mikey. We can't really assume anythin' till they come back. [With the air mattress is taking its sweet time, Raph's glance lands on one of the lair entrances. Coulda' sworn he heard something.]

Well, she said it was like, an emergency. Maybe-- maybe something fateful happened. . .? [Shrugging, Raph grabs the mattress, a crinkled up piece of plastic, and the pump follows soon after. . . He attaches it, as Donnie instructed, and then-- waits.] I dunno, reunions don't HAVE to be terrible.

Thanks, Mikey! [GRABBING THE GUEST CAR AND RIPPING OPEN THE BOTTOM DRAWER IN SAID CLOSET.] Raph's wonderin' what her sibling's like. . . Must be someone real special, if they're related to Mona. . .~ [Swooning and talking out loud.]

@ohmigosh.bsky.social , do you know where the air mattress is? Mona's bringing someone over... she said sibling, but-- [Scratching the back of his head a bit, as he's already torn the rooms apart looking for the air mattress, anything for Mona.]

📲: RAPH'S ON IT. 📲: RAPH LOVES YOU PLEASE BE SAFE

(INSTANT REPLY.) 📲: RAPH UNDERSTANDS. 📲: DO U WANT RAPH TO SET UP THE AIR MATTRESS?

temp pinned yippieeee personal portrayal of mikey from rottmnt! icon art by thekeineryn! will set up proper tmrw or maybe tonight we'll see y'all

[He's desperately pacing by his phone, waiting for such a thing. So, maybe?]

Al...right? [Nuzzles her real fast before letting out a churr.] Call Raph if you need anything!

Oh-- uh. Do you-- need backup?

??? Mona was here a second ago. . . I could'a swore Raph heard a phone ringin', but-- [Confused boyfriend noises.]

guh-wuh

Of course! Raph wants to know if this rabbit is even worth Leo's time! After all, Leo's ego doesn't need any more stroking, and someone who hurts him would be bad too. . . [Humming in thought. Nightmare scenarios come to his mind.]

I may tease him, but I am proud of my lil' bro. . . Sniffle sniffle. Sob.

Well, we haven't gone on another date yet. We're already smooching! :3 [Seems so smug and proud of this.]

Good luck on your date, Leo. [CLASPS A BIG HAND ON LEO'S SHOULDER, LEANS DOWN TO WHISPER.] Don't fuck it up.

(( I'M GONNA SEND YOU TO THE JAMEROQUAI BOX. ))

[Currently stuffing his face with Leo's leftovers because he's mad at him.]

. . . [Holds up a finger, walks up to the nearby sewer grate that leads down to the actual sewer waters. BARFS UNCONTROLLABLY INTO IT. Panic barf.]

OH GOD THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT RAPH'S STINK.... [Severe panic anxiety headcanon? ACTIVATE!]

[HORRIFIED LOOK.] Is it... that obvious that the stink is because of-- Mona?

Leo, if any more words on THAT phase of Raph's life come out, you're going to get dunked like an Oreo into the sewage water.

[TAIL WAGGING!] Woah, what a nice rainbow....ring? Rings? Donnie would be having a heart attack at this. . . [Has not noticed the spirit, but is just happy to be alive and seeing a rainbow. :3 ]

. . . [It takes him a second to process, and when he does, he takes her other hand in his, and says one little word.] So? [Raph will elaborate.] You said because you need money, you do it to survive! Raph knows ALLLLLL about doing weird things to survive. . . once again, We ain't so different!

[His blushing gets worse. Oh god, so much worse. He uses a free hand to rub behind his head, but then, speaks.] Raph is 10,000,000,000-- [He keeps saying "zero" over and over until he runs out of breath. DEEP BREATH.] percent sure he likes you, Mona Lisa!

[TEMPTED to lift her out of the water and yell "I LOVE YOU" into her face, but... he doesn't. He crouches back into the water with her, underwater hand grabbing her's, very gently.] So much. Very very very very much. [He's also blushing too, also struggling to keep it together.]

[Blurts out.] Maybe that's why Raph likes you so much. He sees himself in you... and he likes the safety of that?

Y-Yeah! Raph was like a co-parent, since he was the oldest! Our dad did his best, but... we were four mutant turtle babies. It must'a been hard for him to do it alone.
