"ARGH!!!" The most hot-headed Turtle in town, exclaimed furious. "Shell for...!"

Just as Raphael was about to beat up the table in front of him he at last inch came back to his senses. His balled fists loosened, while he slumped back down into the couch he prior had stood from. Then red-masked kept his eyes closed for a moment, but then opened them again to stare down at his yet still empty parchment.

There were less than a day to New Year's evening, yet he still hadn't managed to do that simple task of fulfilling the usual tradition there marked the end and star of a new year. The deal went with everybody had to write down a wish or resolution for the upcoming year and then deliver it to master Splinter who then would meditate and pray over the wishes. Really it had to be done at a temple, but things like that weren't that common in New York.

Raph usually had no problems making up a resolutions: Getting new punching-bag, new movies, new skills, get to slap Mikey more often, whatever it was. However this year was. Raph knew his resolution should be about you, but no matter what he wrote down it seemed way too sappy and way too cringy..

Signing, Raph did a new attempt:

I wish (Y/n) get what she wish for.

Almost as soon as he written it, he crumbled the paper. Since you had left for school he been sitting there trying and trying. Now there only was a little under an hour left, but still he got nothing.

"Raphael," master Splinter's suddenly said appearing from the blue, surprising Ralph enough for him to jerk his head to the side. "Perhaps, you think too much."

Catching up on the meaning Raph grumbled. "This is why I bash heads first, question later."

Splinter laid a hand on his son encouraging. "My son, selfishness is a sin, but just in this case; how about wishing something there'd make you happy?"

Just like master of ninjutsu had arrived he left again, leaving Raph in a puzzle. However as a picture of you formed in his head, Raph slowly got a great inspiration to his wish. It was cliche, and more than anything it'd be extremely embarrassing for the tough Turtle if you ever found out. But still, he hoped it'd be granted and he hoped you felt the same.

Finally having found a answer to his many hours of frustration he, in rough manners, began writing the sentence down in kanji. Finishing it he folded it and went to hand it to master Splinter. It was just on the clock. Soon you'd be home, and as always Raph would be there to annoy and welcome you home like any other jackass, yet great boyfriend.

The parchment lay softly in his hand as well as the wish:

I, Raphael, want to be with (Y/n) always.
