"Yes, I'm done!" he said with a little squeal. Finally, after weeks of painstaking sewing and cutting, he made his own Mikey plush doll. Small little green dude with blue beady eyes and was wrapped with the signature orange mask. He sweeps the excess threads on the plush doll and wrapped a red bow to its neck. He is quite excited that he can finally give him to his crush.

"Raphie!"

Well, he can give this as a brotherly gift.

He runs to the dojo room. He saw Leo and Raph staring at each other. Those gazes are different. It has intent and admiration. He noticed Raphael is flushing a little.

"… Raphie?"

The other two didn't noticed Mikey as he starting to get uncomfortable. For some reason, he felt very heavy in his chest, this unsettling realization running in his mind and of course, jealousy.

He can only turned around and leave without a word.

The red banded turtle snapped about it and looked around.

"Something the matter?" the leader in blue asked.

"I swear someone is calling me earlier,"

He knew Leo is closer to Raph than anyone else. They are not apart in their turtle order; they are also sparring buddies and partners. They often talk while him, Raph mostly talks to him when he is annoyed by his jokes or being sarcastic about it. He can say that those two are closest to each other.

He stopped at his secret tunnel, the only place where he feels calm and had solitude.

("Wow, the happy, party boy turtle is now a loner huh?") He thought and chuckled to himself. He holds the two plush dolls, yes, he made two, actually, and the Mikey plush is the second one he made. The first one is, of course, the hot headed turtle. He placed them together, how he wishes Raph and he would be like their plush counterparts. Together.

He stared at the walls; there are a lot of doodles with wonderful colors, primarily about Raph and him. Having picnics together, playing games, eating pizza, holding hands, simple hugs and smooches with no problems at all. There is a huge space in the middle of the wall, he thought of filling it up about something special.

He noticed he is out of chalks and only got a stick. He never cares about prettifying this mural anymore, maybe because the day he'll show this to Raph will never come… Unless he discovered this himself. But that will never happen, as he is the only one who knows the possible passages here and there are two ways. One of them is the route he usually goes, the hole behind his bed.

He picked the stick and started to draw a heart.

As he wrote their initials, his tears starting to flow down his cheeks. All he can do is keep his feelings and never say about it at all.

MIKEY

"Please don't be in love with someone else, Raphie…"

Based on CartoonLovr's art "Unrequited Love" (I was so stuck to the concept of this, I thought the whole story I'm at bed staring at empty space)

The plush idea came from KameChuu's Plushie comic (both came from DA)
