Chat, is this real. Like, the shock factor has left me, is Horikoshi actually serious? Is that REALLY suppose to be the ending we got? Now that the shock of it is gone for me, I'm just PISSED now. Cause- WHAT THE FUCK. AFTER ALL OF THE PINING, AFTER ALL OF THE DEVELOPMENT, AFTER THE FUCKING WAR, WE GOT THIS!?? OCHAKO AND IZUKU HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY ZERO ROMANTIC DEVELOPMENT, THEY HAD A FRIENDSHIP, THAT WAS IT. NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. THIS WAS JUST UNNECESSARY, THERE DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO BE A ROMANTIC ENDING, IT WAS FINE BEFORE!! And what the actual fuck do you MEAN Katsuki helped Izuku go to Ochako?? WHEN HAS THIS MAN EVER CARED ABOUT WOMEN IN A ROMANTIC SENSE? NEVER! And calling Ochako your hero? Not that she isn't a good hero, but you obsessed over Katsuki practically your whole damn LIFE! You and Katsuki mutually obsess over each other, are overly protective of each other, YOU CAN BARLEY STOP THINKING OF EACH OTHER, I COULD GO ON AND ON FOR FUCKING HOURS!!! SOMEONE HERE IS LYING AND I KNOW DAMN WELL IT'S HORIKOSHI!!!!! Oh and Dabi's death was unjustified okay bye

!TW! Talk of Self Sacrifice/Death Of Loved Ones. No Actual Death/Sacrifice !TW!
Mikey whoops as he leaps straight up, the air rushing past him. There’s one glorious moment when he can’t go any higher, but before gravity pulls him back down, where he just hovers. Then he falls back to the ground. The turtle curls into a ball and leans forward into a rolling tumble in the air.
Wait.
Not yet.
NOW!
Mikey stretches out his arms and catches a rung of a fire escape, swinging all the way around before letting go and flinging himself to the next building.
“COWABUNGA!”
He tucked into another roll and leapt to his feet to keep running.
This was a perfect night! The moon was full, the city was alive, and Mikey was razzing his tazz! Nothing was going to spoil tonight!

Raph was completely ruining his night! When Mikey had snuck back into his room, the runners high and excitement making him feel bubbly and buzzy, he hadn’t even glanced at the dark shadows in the corner.
“Hamato Michelangelo!” Mikey yelped, jumped, and curled into his shell in surprise. Dang it!
Before he could uncurl and relax, the box turtle felt his shell be picked up and turned over so he could peer out into one very angry snapper’s eyes. Yeah.... He’s going to stay in here for a minute.
“Hey, Raph.” He called trying for his most innocent smile, even his older brother couldn’t see it.
“Where were you?” Raph asked with narrowed eyes. Oh no, not good.
“With April?” He tried.
“I called her already.” Double dang it. That was his only hope. Mikey popped his head out.
“Can you put me down first?” The snapper did so, and Mikey let his legs pop out so he could stand as tall as he could to appear confident. Not that it helped with the older brother.
“I wasn’t doing anything bad.” The box turtle started.
“Then why didn’t you take anyone with you?” Raph crossed his arms.
“Because I wanted to be by myself for a little!”
“You should have at least told someone.”
“Then you would have made someone go with me!”
“I would not!”
“YES! YOU WOULD!” Mike threw up his arms in frustration. He knew this would happen. He tried to slow his breathing and lower his voice. He did not want the twins to take part in this.
“Well, I would have been better than you going topside alone! I was worried sick! What if something happened?”
“I had my phone.”
“Really? Cause you didn’t pick up my calls.” Mikey winced at that. He had put his phone on silent for that very reason, he just didn’t want to be dealing with a call from Raph every 20 minutes. But... yeah, that wasn’t the best move.
“Ok, I’m sorry. I’ll be better next time.”
“NEXT TIME? No, Mikey, there is no ‘next time!’ You can’t just disappear like that! Do you not realize how much stress you put me under when I don’t know where you are? How can you be so reckless?”
“Quit being such a hypocrite!” Mikey shot back. Because, ok, no. That is where Mikey draws the line. Because, yeah, he snuck out, turned his phone off, and worried Raph. And he will say that he’s wrong for doing that. But Raph does not get to talk to him about being reckless. “You wanna talk about being reckless, how about that time tackled Meatsweats, even though I would have been fine and we had a plan?”
“You were going to get hit! I had to-”
“Or when you dropped off a cliff so that the rest of us could unlock our Ninpō?”
“You guys-
“Or what about with the Shredder, when you covered Donnie with your own body?”
“His shell-”
“Or when you almost killed yourself to save Leo from the Krang?!”
“HE WAS GOING TO DIE!”
“YOU WERE TOO!”
Both of the brothers froze at the words. Triple dang it, Mikey shouldn’t have said that.
The younger tried to take a deep breath and calm down. He knows that it wasn’t the same. That Raph did that to save them, not to go do parkour, and the idea of any of the others dying made him feel sick. But he couldn’t hear his brother talk about taking risks without having his mind go white with images of him running to save someone’s life at the cost of his own. But still...
Great now he felt guilty.
“Mikey...”
“I’m sorry. I should have said that. You’re right, I won’t do that again. I mean it.” Mikey looked down and wrapped his arms around himself.
It wasn’t too surprising when Raph hugged him. They both clearly need it. Mikey just hugged back.
“Thanks for apologizing.” Raph said after a moment. “I forgive you, and I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have been so mad. You should be able to be alone sometimes. We can talk about that later, and I promise that I’ll try to be less overprotective.”
“Thanks,” Mikey said, tightening the hug.
He wasn’t going to ask for Raph to be less reckless. If any of them were in danger, Raph would do anything to save them. I wasn’t fair to have him make a promise that he could never keep. But they could talk about that later, when they were less tired and more reasonable. For right now they just hugged.
