When you said you wanted to change your hair, Raph thought you meant a new haircut or something,

Not… this… Nothing prepared him for this. Not being the leader of the Mad Dogs. Not Donnie’s horrible work ethic, Mikey’s hyperactivity, or, Leo’s constant jokes and irresponsibility.

Raph, the big tank and protector of his family, didn’t know how to react… to his significant other/lover with freshly cut and... dyed hair... Red hair dye. You dyed your hair red. That was his colour. You dyed your hair his signature red colour. That alone made the turtle mutant’s head draw a blank. He couldn’t believe it. You would do this, all as a surprise for him.

“Wow… uh…” Raph mumbles as he scratches the back of his head. His face was a light shade of pink as he tried to think of something to say. But looking into those beautiful eyes of yours and seeing your newly red hair. The snapping turtle kept on drawing a blank. His stomach had butterflies, and he felt… something. Something good. And, he liked it. Very much so. “Raph… uh… thinks you look good” He finally manages to say, while internally scolding himself for speaking in the third person. Damn, that must make him sound like an idiot! But he couldn’t help it. To him, his lover just looked so good in his colour.
