He doesn’t react right away
First instinct is control.
He observes, processes, contains.
Goes noticeably quieter
Speaks less. Listens more.
You can feel his attention on you without him saying a word.
Watches everything
Who you stand closest to.
Who you laugh with.
Who you lean toward.
He memorizes it without meaning to.
His posture shifts subtly
Straighter. More guarded.
Instinctively positions himself a little closer to you.
Becomes more… authoritative
Tone sharpens just slightly.
Uses leadership as a shield for personal feelings.
Trains harder to cope
Longer sessions. More intensity.
Pushes himself until his mind goes quiet.
Avoids you—then lingers anyway
Keeps distance so he doesn’t act on impulse.
Somehow still ends up nearby.
Protectiveness spikes
Any sign of disrespect toward you? He steps in immediately.
Calm, controlled—but firm.
Hates seeing someone else touch you
Jaw tightens. Shoulders tense.
He looks away… but he noticed.
Asks careful, indirect questions
“Do you trust them?”
“They treat you well?”
Never “I’m jealous.”
Tries to rationalize it
You’re allowed to move on.
This was his choice.
Repeats it like a mantra.
Doesn’t fully believe it
Rare moments where it slips
Interrupting too quickly.
Standing a little too close.
A look that lingers too long.
Pulls back immediately after
Rebuilds his composure.
Puts the walls back up.
Softens when it’s just you two
Voice quieter. Slower.
Less guarded.
Jealousy comes out as something gentle… and painful
“…Are you happy?”
And he truly means it
Even if the answer isn’t him.
Raphael⋆˚꩜。
He doesn’t process jealousy calmly.
It shows up fast. Loud. Physical.
Tight fists. Clenched jaw. Shorter temper.
Gets visibly irritated when you mention someone else
Even if you’re just talking casually.
His responses get shorter.
“Yeah? Cool.” (It’s not cool.)
Talks shit about the person you’re seeing
Doesn’t matter if they’re actually nice.
He’ll find something wrong with them.
“You serious? That’s your type now?”
Stares. A lot.
Doesn’t hide it either.
If they’re near you, Raph’s eyes are on them.
Sizing them up like it’s a fight waiting to happen.
Gets territorial without meaning to
Steps closer to you.
Positions himself between you and them. (This person knows the turtles)
Not even fully aware he’s doing it.
Interrupts more than usual
Cuts into conversations.
Changes the subject.
Pulls your attention back to him.
Snaps easier—at everyone
Brothers, enemies, random comments.
His patience drops fast when he’s jealous.
Picks fights he shouldn’t
Especially on patrol.
Takes unnecessary risks just to burn off the feeling.
Hates seeing someone else touch you
That’s his biggest trigger.
Hand on your arm? Shoulder? Waist?
Yeah… he’s looking away before he does something dumb.
Acts like he doesn’t care (badly)
“Do whatever you want, I don’t care.”
…he cares. A lot.
Keeps tabs on you indirectly
Asks Mikey.
Listens when April mentions you.
Pretends he’s not paying attention.
Gets competitive out of nowhere
Tries to prove he’s stronger, better, more reliable.
Especially if the other person is around.
Voice gets sharper when he talks to them
Not outright aggressive (at first)
But there’s an edge. A warning.
Softens only when it’s just you two
The anger drops a little.
Still tense, but more honest.
Jealousy slips out as frustration, not confession
“You moved on that fast?”
“You really into them?”
Struggles with the fact he has no right anymore
That’s what pisses him off the most.
Not you. Not them.
Himself.
If they hurt you? It’s over.
Raph doesn’t hesitate.
Doesn’t ask.
Doesn’t hold back...
Donatello✧*。
A/N: His face card is so lethal
His first reaction is denial
Labels it immediately.
Irrational. Unproductive. Unnecessary.
Tries to shut it down before it grows.
…it doesn’t work
He starts analyzing instead
Who they are.
What they do.
How they interact with you.
Turns your relationship into something he can study.
Compares himself constantly
What do they give you that he didn’t?
Where did he fall short?
What variables did he miss?
Finds out things before you tell him
Not intentionally… at first.
But information just happens to reach him.
And once it does, he doesn’t look away.
Keeps tabs in subtle ways
Security feeds.
Background checks.
Casual questions disguised as curiosity.
Acts normal on the surface
Polite. Calm. Friendly, even.
You’d almost think he doesn’t care.
But there’s an edge underneath
Slightly sharper tone.
Responses that are just a little too precise.
Corrects your partner mid-conversation
Small things. Technical things.
Not enough to be outright rude—
just enough to establish he’s smarter.
Gets quieter when you laugh with them
Especially if it’s easy. Effortless.
Because he remembers how hard he had to work for that.
Overthinks every past interaction with you
Replays conversations.
Rebuilds scenarios where he said the “right” thing.
Tries to solve a relationship that’s already over.
Throws himself into projects to cope
Stays in the lab longer.
Works until exhaustion.
Anything to avoid sitting with it.
Jealousy slips out as passive-aggression
“Statistically, that won’t last.”
“Interesting choice.”
“I suppose compatibility is… subjective.”
Hates that he’s feeling this way
He knows it’s not logical.
Knows you’re allowed to move on.
That almost makes it worse.
If you ask him directly? He deflects
“I’m not jealous.”
“…That would be an illogical response.”
He is. Deeply.
Softens when it’s just you two
The sharpness fades.
He’s quieter. More honest, even if he doesn’t mean to be.
Jealousy comes out as quiet curiosity
“Do they make you happy?”
“Are they… what you wanted?”
And underneath all the logic—
there’s one thought he can’t quite get rid of:
Why wasn’t I enough?
Michelangelo⋆˚✿˖°
His first instinct is to play it cool
“Ohhh, look at you, moving on—okayyy!”
Big smiles. Teasing tone.
Acts like it doesn’t bother him at all.
He wants to be okay with it
Genuinely.
He wants you to be happy, even if it’s not with him.
He would be welcoming.
Friendly. Warm.
Offers snacks, cracks jokes, tries to make them comfortable.
Almost like he’s proving he’s not threatened.
But he notices everything The way you lean into them. The way your attention shifts without thinking. The way you smile at them… the way you used to smile at him. Starts trying a little harder around you More jokes. More energy. More him. Like if he’s funnier, louder, brighter—you’ll look at him the same way again. Gets quieter when it doesn’t work Laughs a little less. Lets conversations move on without him. Fades into the background more than he ever used to. Leaves earlier than usual “I got stuff to do!” (He doesn’t.) Just can’t sit there watching it. Still tries to stay your friend That matters to him more than anything. Even if it hurts, he won’t pull away completely. Jealousy shows in small, soft ways Slight pauses before he jokes about your partner. A forced laugh that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. Looking away when you’re affectionate with them. Lowkey tries to one-up them Better snacks. Better jokes. “Oh you like that? Yeah, I got like ten more of those—watch this—” If they make you even slightly upset, he changes instantly Smile drops. Tone softens. “Hey… they shouldn’t make you feel like that.” He doesn’t get mad at you Never blames you for moving on. If anything, he blames himself for not being enough. When it’s just the two of you, the act slips He’s quieter. More careful with his words. Jealousy comes out as something honest and a little fragile “…You really like them, huh?” And he tries to smile after he says it Like it doesn’t matter what your answer is. Even though it does. A lot.
