Raph's POV
I'm trying to build my courage up but every time I get ready to tell them all my hope fades. I think I'm going to start with master splinter or Don, someone who understands. I don't want to be babied so that rules everyone out and spike is now slash so I have no one to talk to anymore. I layed on my bed staring at the
ceiling. If only it was easier I thought as I slammed my face in my pillow,silently crying myself to sleep.
*time skip til morning*
I'm going to do it in going to tell my family I'm blind starting with Master Splinter. I got up wiped the dry tears off my cheeks. I headed to the dojo ignoring breakfast. I knocked on Master Splinter's door. "Come in Raphael" I heard him say from the other side of the door. I always wondered how he could do that. I walked in and kneeled in front of him on the rug. "What is bothering you my son" he asked. "Sensei I need to tell you something but I don't want you to freak out" I said nervously. I could feel his gaze on me urging me to continue. "D-dad I'm b-blind" I said looking down. I'm glad I can't see his face right now. "My son........how long" he asked pain filling his voice. "Since my mutation" I said a tear falling down my cheek.
Master Splinter's POV
I thought there was something wrong with his eyes but I never thought that he would be blind. I looked at him with sad eyes. I saw a tear fall down his cheek which I wiled away with my thumb, bringing him into a tight embrace. He snuggled in the crook of my neck crying. I rubbed soothing circles on his back trying to calm him down. Ten minutes later he was softly snoring. I sadly smiled and packed him to his room. I layed him on his bed and gave him a kiss on the head and tucked him in. I turned out his lights and shut his door quietly. I went back to my room too meditate. I can't believe I couldn't see that my own son was blind
