Raph was in love, how that was possible he didn’t know. But you had come into their lives a few months ago when your sensei has passed away. He had told you that being with splinter and his boys would be the only way ypu could be safe. So you packed up everything you had and moved to New York. And to raph, you were the most perfect female turtle mutant he had ever seen in his life. And bonus you could kick his shell any day of the week, what a woman.

If he had things his way he would wake up to you next to him, scratching ypur shell as you had a hand over ypur first clutch of eggs. Churring against his chest, man that would feel like heaven to him.

But the most he had managed to do with his feelings is shwo off his temper. It’s as if no matter what as soon as he gets ypu close to him or even so much as catches uour scent on the wind, he would make a fool of himself. Or he tries to act all macho and it usually ends with him and Leo being in a fight or something or the other. Which is what leads to him getting out in the hachi for being too rough in sparring

“Come on sensei! Hes fine, he can still breathe,” he tries to defend himself
