Raph liked you, a lot. No, he loved you. You were the only one that truly understood him and could comfort him in the hardest times. He adored you for that, and for a hell lot of other things. He always gave you small gifts, blushed and stuttered around you, smiled like a dork with you and tried to be close to you as much as he could. It was obvious he liked you and he really wanted to ask you out, but there was a problem, a pretty big one..you were a human, and he was a faint alligator snapping turtle mutant. There could be no way you two would work out and he knew that, and besides, why would you like a turtle mutant?— he asked himself. He felt upset and afraid that he could never have the feeling equally returned love.
