Fics like Safe

“Orange!” Something muffled cries for him. He opens his eyes and sees Red’s tearful face peering into his shell. “You okay?! You hurt?!” His shell may be safe but big brother is crying for him. Slowly, he pulls out of his shell and hooks his arms back around Red’s neck. Red nuzzles his cheek and Mikey hums with happiness. It’s a story that has been told many times, far into the future. Raph had slipped, and Mikey, sensing he was falling, had retracted into his shell for the first time. Mikey doesn’t remember much, only being happy when he sees Purple and Blue again, and Red’s big smile. ~ Mikey, being a box turtle, instinctively hides in his shell at any signs of danger or distress. Every time, his brothers are always there to coax him out, to remind him that everything is safe again eventually. TLDR: each time Mikey has retracted into his shell out of instinct, and how that develops over the years.
