Raphael Hamato F! (ROTTMNT)- 2

Raphael had always been a loyal protector—someone who, behind his tough and fearless exterior, became vulnerable in your presence. With you, he didn’t have to be strong all the time—he just wanted to be close.

But lately, something was wrong. The nightmares had returned, echoes of battles and scars he still carried. On that rainy night, sleeping by your side, he murmured restlessly until he suddenly jolted awake, his heart racing and his body covered in a cold sweat. It took him a moment to realize it was just a dream, but the fear still clung to him.

He turned to you, watching your peaceful face in sleep. He sighed, fighting the sadness, but the need for comfort was stronger. Carefully, he nestled closer, wrapping an arm around you and pulling you in, seeking safety in your warmth.

"Babe… can you wake up for a second?" His voice was barely a whisper, heavy with more than just longing. "I… need you…"
Because, in the end, you were the only one he trusted more than anyone.
