[He didn't pull away from the purple fabric being used to wipe his tears away, even slightly leaning into the touch, finally looking directly up at Donnie after he cast aside the mask and put a hand on his shoulder.

With a quiet that only ever happens in the overactive teen when he's been fairly well emotionally drained, he sits quietly and mostly still and listens to his brother, his eyes misting up again.]

'M sorry Donnie... I have had you and Leatherhead and I... I'm being a whiny little kid.

[The last few words came out sound more like something Raph would say, which only brings more tears to his eyes.]

I just... I want to stay with you... we are strong, we could do it.. together. I... I want to be a part of your team still. Wouldn't we be safer together anyway?

[He knew he was pushing a bit much but he knew that even though he was acting so strong, Donnie wasn't used to doing what Leo did for them all, and he wasn't as okay as he acted. He wanted to make sure that his brother wasn't alone if he reached his limit.]
