Home is where the heart was.

So, uh? Hi there?

The name's Mike - Michael, to be exact, but just uh.. Mike is fine. Just opening up this blog for asks, and maybe just to get some connections?

I can't guarantee anything, but it's better to try.

Just holding onto him and I don't think I've ever seen him so still before. He barely responded to me and now he just... He's just staring off.

And proceeded to look at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen to the point I hugged him. Yes, I did get emotional because technically this is.. my big brother from the future and no Raphael should look so worn down and sad.

My question is: he was assumed dead. He's here and alive.

Simoni won't leave him alone for nothing and he's clinging hard to him: and he-

He looks exactly like my big brother from the future. He looks like him and I think I might need an emergency session with my therapist.

THAT'S A BIG BITCH

JESUS CHRIST

GO VISIT THEM

I LOVE YOU BUT I CANNOT DO THE SULKING YOU'VE BEEN DOING

I also don't want to overwhelm them and I ammm

Eugh.

I just asked his brothers and they seemed keen to tell me. Thank fuck.

No, I haven't, but Imma check their blog in the morning because I'm unsure what TF he means.

A 6 year old Don.

He's uninjured, as far as I can tell, and doesn't seem to be in pain from the transformation so it may have been mystic in nature. Either way, he's gonna be like this for a week and rn he's asleep in my lap after a good few Lou Jitsu movies.

... As weird as this sounds, this didn't feel like loneliness, being out in the vastness of it all in Nevada. It felt like peace, breathing in the crisp air and simply being.

Maybe I can bring everyone out if they wanted but.. I dunno. I think I'll keep this little place to myself.

Lou Jitsu is still playing on the projector when the fuck did that get fixed and there's leftover pizza in the fridge. Don and his past self is awake and chattering away but damn. Damn he was tiny.

They all are. Even now they're still really young.

I really don't wanna explain to Raph about his future self here though because that's,, a painful bag to unpack.

Why the fuck is there a past version of my family in the lair?

Well, actually, the question is redundant now because Simoni just came zooming in and this has to be the first time I've heard him laugh like that. He just lit up so bright that could rival my Mikey's - but that?? That is a past version of me and oh boy. Oh boy this feels weird.

... Apparently Simoni has a titanium spine that past Donnie wants to fuckin fine tune and Idon't like the thought of that?? At all??

Simoni's pretty much been at Mikey's apartment with Raph n Donovan and the kiddos
