Inside Outside“Mikey, focus,” Leo tells me.How am I supposed to focus when you’re drifting off? You think it’s furtive, that you’re doing a good job hiding it, but I can see it. I can see it, for shell’s sake, the way you stroke Donny with your eyes, the way you smile at him and only, only at him – it’s making me sick! “Where is your focus today?” “With that pizza chick,” Raph taunts me. I almost snap at him: You’re not the one to talk Raph. God knows how long you’ve been having Casey before I realised that your late night adventures weren’t only for fighting crime. Is it the adrenaline that gets you off, huh? “You can’t blame him, Mikey’s in love,” Donnie says. Oh Donatello, we’re all in love. I’m in love with Annette because she makes me feel like a normal person. You’re in love with Leo ‘cause you help each other with handling reality. Raph’s in love with Casey ‘cause living with him is so simple. We’re all so madly in love that we’ve stopped spending time together. Who’d want to be in the Lair anyway, with those two love doves who’ve figured that incest doesn’t matter? Raph nearly never comes home. Neither do I anymore. And Splinter just chuckles and says… “Young love.” Am I the only fucking one who realises that we’re coming apart at the seams?! |
