     “Fight him? Enji, come on. There’s no fighting him, not now.”    He was... tired. He had been tracking his twin all night, wondering and debating whether to go ahead with it at all. Attacking the others was easy. He didn’t have any second thoughts about that. But Enjiiro was... different. This was his twin, his closest brother, his other half.    Surely that meant something more?

   Raph growled to himself and shook the thoughts away, his hand clenching tighter around his sai. Maybe it meant something more, maybe not. But it didn’t matter. What’s done is done, and he had more things to do before the night was out. Either Enji was going to crawl home bloodied and broken, or he was gonna have to make sure that Raph didn’t get up again to hurt him.        I don’t want to hurt him.

     “You’re still important to me, you know.” Suddenly his voice softened, the weird look in his eyes fading into something like distant pain. Raph let his arm lower as he looked away, glancing down to his hand. What the hell was he doing? Was he gonna kill his twin? Could he? It didn’t... It was...    Wrong.      “You always were. But I have to... I gotta do this. I gotta make it stop hurting... You understand, right? I love you, Enji, but I can’t...”        I can’t do this. I can’t hurt him, he’s my twin, he’s--           The only thing holding you back. Once he’s gone it will be easier. It will stop hurting so much. You’ll be free.

   Freedom was a wonderful concept. Raph stiffened again and sighed, lifting his eyes back up to his twin’s, his jaw set. He could do this. For himself, he had to.       “I’m sorry, ani.”

   With that, he lunged in, a snarl ripping from his chest as his sai aimed for Enjiiro’s eye. Maybe he had to do this. But he could at least grant his twin a quick death. He owed him that.

Enjiiro’s eyes widen. His heart stops– chest rising and falling quicker and quicker as the panic starts to set in. He looks over to Raphael, asleep in the corner of the room. They’d separated to avoid lashing at each other but– he couldn’t cope without him. Couldn’t fight it–

Not again.

“No!” He tries to fight it, to push Falco away, but he just can’t, doesn’t have a wall to block him out. Cold hands fly up to squeeze his head as it explodes in pain, whispers playing at his brain, getting louder and louder; that phrase getting louder, and louder. “No! N-No please! I-I can’t–!”

RED.

SILENCE.

He stands, eyes hooded gently and gleaming red, and moves over to his twin. His fingers twitch in a fleeting moment of restraint and hesitation, but soon find their way to Raphael’s shoulders. They clench around his skin, ready to pull him up.

   It’s an effort to open his eyes as he was touched. Raphael groans as he drags his eyes open, glancing up at his brother. They’d been out all night, running and trying to find a safe spot to rest, and he’d only been asleep for what could have been... maybe an hour or two? Either way, he’s still exhausted, and he isn’t enjoying the way Enji is grabbing him.    But the second he opens his mouth to ask what’s going on, his eyes catch the flash of red and suddenly he’s not tired anymore. Not a bit. Raph jerks and scrambles to push his brother back, teeth gritting together. He knows that flash of red, he knows that look in his brother’s eyes; he knows the fear that Enjiro’s going through, trying to fight him off.

   It won’t be enough.

     “No! Get back! Get out of my brother!”

   He didn’t know why Falco wasn’t just controlling him on his own. Maybe it’s a nightmare. Maybe none of this is real and he’s still asleep and Enjiro’s just sleeping across the room and everything is fine. But his brother’s still there and he can feel the concrete beneath him, the gravel scraping beneath his thigh. 

   This isn’t a nightmare.

Meta on Raph Twins realising Falco's controlling them both, and what they do?

OKAY SOAt first, they probably freak out. They dont know what the hell to do! They’re worried about their brothers and how the other is going to react cause they’ve never BEEn in this situation before. 

But then they realize hey, he’s controlling HIM too.

So instead of freaking out, they band together. Protecting each other, leaving the lair and making sure that they have each other’s backs. Maybe they can’t stay home, but they can stay together right?Falco can technically control them both at the same time, but its much stronger and harder to fight when he puts his focus on one of them.

"Maybe we should just... give in?" (FalcoTwins ^^)

     “Well thats the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.” Raph snapped, shooting his eyes over to Enji and glaring at him. Yes, they were tired and his head constantly hurt and everything always hurt but… they couldn’t give in. Everything would go to shit. What was the point of fighting if they were just gonna give up? “What good is giving in gonna do, man?”

[jelibaen]

"You are so much more… WE are so much more… and together we will be unstoppable!"

     “Are you even listening to yourself?” Raph asked, taking a step back. Enjiiro wasn’t making sense, he was talking like Slash or Falco or something. He wasn’t talking normal. “We’re a part of a team, Enjii, we can’t just… run off on that.”
