[LN] [Locked to Mikey and Bunny]

[othersdestructive]

"It wasn't a big deal. Everything worked out fine and I had an out so I don't see what the problem is. All of you are making into a bigger thing than it needs to be."

After storming off from the argument with Bunny over Raph running off to get Winchester's brother himself, he'd dragged Mikey into playing a video game. In reality, he'd have preferred to be alone but he could tell Mikey had been bothered by the fact he'd run off alone and gotten injured so he mostly just wanted to show him his arm was okay enough to play video games with it.

The problem was Mikey was still harping on what had happened out of concern.

Rather than being annoyed at Mikey, Raph was trying his best to put Mikey's concern to rest while channeling his annoyance into kicking his butt at Mario Kart.

There was no response Bunny could think of in the moment that wasn't some variation on "that's stupid."

And he couldn't say that, because it was obvious this wasn't about stupidity. It was about feelings, and by that point, Bunny had let his get too raw.

He spared a second to consider if he was leaving because he was giving up or because he had miscalculated, let the conversation get too personal too soon, and decided on leaving. With a tap of his foot, the floor gave out beneath him, and closed up once he was gone.

Raph glanced over where the Easter Bunny had been then back to the screen. After his little car went over a cliff (twice) he slammed the controller down and briefly sat there, knees drawn up to his chest.

He hadn't sat there long at all before Mikey jumped over the back of the couch, loaded down with cartons and bottles that were probably now going to fizz over when he opened them.

"So, I know I said I was gonna get soda, buuuuuuuuuut I got ice cream AND soda instead."

Not as good as Ice Cream Kitty, the forever love of Mikey's life, but still.

"Which do you want? Peppermint stick? Or chocolate? Peppermint stick? Chooooocolate? C'mon, let's celebrate the lack of yelling that just happened."

[othersdestructive]

Raph waved a dismissive hand at him.

"Not hungry."

[bestnamer]

"Come oooon. You're always hungry. You know you want it."

In the process of trying to shove ice cream in Raph's face, Mikey noticed the fragments of the broken controller.

"What, did yelling happen after all? Is ice-cream no longer a post-yelling treat?"

[othersdestructive]

"There wasn't yelling." A pause. "Well, there was some yelling but I was doing most of it."

Now he felt kinda bad about it, but kinda didn't. He didn't like being misunderstood and hadn't liked that the conversation had goaded him to talking about the invasion and sensei.

To keep his brother from getting upset, he held out a hand for a bowl.

"Chocolate's fine, I guess."

[bestnamer]

Mikey just handed him the carton. "Plenty more where that came from! I think the yetis make it themselves, so keep an eye out for hairs. I don't think they wear hairnets."

Mikey picked up a controller, attempting to start a new game one-handed while still shoving peppermint stick ice cream into his face with the other, but an unfortunate slip of dexterity made him gasp in horror.

"Oh snapricots, it's stuck on Rainbow Road!"

[othersdestructive]

Raph stuck in the spoon and snarfed down a big mouthful.

"That's perfectly fine with me," he said around the ice cream. "I always kick your butt on the tracks where you can fall off the sides."

[bestnamer]

"No fair! Rainbow Road is for monsters!"

Mikey flailed in his seat, dropping his ice cream and trying to SOMEHOW stay on track.

[othersdestructive]

"No, Rainbow Road is for winners. You just need to pretend winners are monsters because they're your natural opposite."

Raph started mashing his controller.

"Boomerang boomerang boomerang!"
