(OCC: February 3rd, afternoon. Bonding between Connor and Mikey)
Mikey was at a loss. He was allies with his enemy. He had Leo but he still didn't really know where Raph or Donny were. It overwhelmed him. But he tried to keep the ground afloat for the sake of Leo, Splinter and Casey. Splinter and Casey were not his versions but they were still family, especially Splinter. Still, it sucked being the optimist of the group, because everyone expected you to be cheerful. He made a lot of mistakes today, clumsiness and laziness being the main reason why. Leo forgave him as did Casey but Splinter lost his patience with him. Sure, the rat apologized for his rude words but Mikey was still recovering from the blunt nature. His Splinter lost his temper but this version was far crueler with his words. Mikey went to the kitchen, murmuring to himself "I can't do anything right" He drank some leftover soda and ate some chips "He's right. I'll never get anywhere by being a idiot" Mikey sniffed, feeling the tears "I'm a goddamn loser. I should be fighting. I should be working hard. Instead, I'm trying to make everyone laugh. Like a goddamn clown" Mikey wiped more of the tears spilling from his eyes. He ignored that his close friend Connor was watching everything. He ignored that Connor was coming closer. He just wiped his tears, murmuring "So much for a champion"

Connor paused hearing him and frowned. He wrapped his arms around the turtle holding him close. "Don't cry, Mikey. You are not an idiot. You do work hard. And making everyone laugh is an art. You're amazing. I wish I could make people laugh like you." said Connor. He grinned sheepishly. "My social skills aren't really the best. I was always hanging out with my mother when I could. Then when get got mugged for my brithday present.... and I ended up on the street I was all alone. Sometimes I still dream I'm back there on the streets alone." said Connor. He paused at Mikey's next words and grinned holding him as tightly sa he could. "You'll always be my champion." said Connor.

Mikey jolted a little in surprise as Connor joined him. That said, his surprise ended rather quickly. He allowed the man to embrace him, relaxing into him. He wiped his tears, murmuring softly "You're really sweet, Connor. That means a lot" Mikey wiped his tears more, smiling playfully "It's about time someone appreciated me" He then looked right to Connor, softly replying "Seriously though, thank you. I just feel alone sometimes. But you make me feel less alone" He then widened his eyes as Connor expressed the loss of his mother. Mikey held onto Connor, replying gently "God, Connor, you have no idea how sorry I am. And if it helps, you seem pretty okay to me. But then again I'm the King of socially awkward"
He then smiled warmly as Connor called him a champion. This made Mikey feel warm and touched. Unable to resist, he gave Connor a kiss on the cheek. He widened his eyes, realizing what he had done. Mikey blushed, looking away "S-Sorry, I just wanted to thank you"

Connor grinned. "Your welcome." replied Connor. He shook his head. "I know your family appreciates you. Your brother and Splinter are here. But some families aren't always the best at showing it." said Connor. Connor nodded. "It hurts but I've been trying to move on. I recently find out who my father was but then I got sent here. If you ever run into Oliver Queen let him know I'm here." replied Connor. He blushed as Mikey kissed him. "Well let me return the favor." said Connor. He leaned forward and gave Mikey a quick kiss on the lips before he lost his nerve.
