    Summary

    for rbt_lvr — prompt: Rottmnt Donnie and Leo twin telepathy and/or body swap


    Donnie doesn’t believe in twin telepathy. He doesn’t believe they’re twins, either. But it feels like something is missing, when he no longer has someone so intrinsically linked to him. When someone who has always clung to him suddenly withdraws, pulling everything with him. It feels like holding water in his hands, seeping through every crack. And he cannot catch it, cannot stop holding his hands there even though he is losing all that is inside.

    “You don’t want to go in there.” Leo says quietly, hauntingly. His ninpo is pushed away, while the water continues to somehow drown itself.

    For once, he wishes he could see what was going on inside Leo’s head. For once, the idea of telepathy doesn’t seem quite so bad.

    OR:

    Donnie does not believe in twin telepathy. Surely there is some other reason to explain all of this.

    (and he is screamin' and cryin' for help)

    Leo is honest, and Leo hurts the people he loves, and maybe that's ok.

    Summary

    Casey is new to this little family, but damn if he doesn't think of them as his little brothers already. So even though he kinda-sorta thinks Leo hates him, he'll always be there if he needs a buddy to eat with. It's what friends are for, right?

    Funny, that he's trying so hard to control something, anything, from the bottom of their hierarchy. It would make him laugh if he weren't so dizzy.

    Summary

    “Raphael,” she said gently. “I know it’s difficult for you to use the past tense-”

     

    “It’s not difficult, it’s just wrong,” Raph growled. He couldn’t look at her. This was the thing. The thing that made everyone look at him with pity. Like he was defective or broken. Like he was some stupid idiot who couldn’t get with the program.

     

    But it was everyone else who was wrong. Raph was the only one who was living in reality.

     

    “Leo. Isn’t. Dead.”
    _________________

    It's been two years since Leo's disappearance. The city has erected a monument in Bryant Park to honor and mourn New York's bravest young hero.

    While Leo's statue sits in the park, Raph sits in therapy. Everyone believes Raph is too traumatized, too wounded to process the loss of his brother.

    But there's something Raph can't explain, something only he can feel, something everybody wants him to ignore. It whispers softly somewhere in the deepest corners of his mind: he's still here.

    Raph listens.
