Their fight with the thirteen demons and saving the city, again, had taken its toll on them. Raph was out with Casey, working on the truck and Don was with April, going over different artifacts from her latest collection while Splinter watched his stories on the computer. \n\nMikey loved being out at the farm in the spring, everything coming back to life after the winter’s cold; the soft grass and warm sun sent him in to a state of bliss.\n\nMikey and Leo wanted to take full advantage of having nothing to do and just relax, so they took a pack of Raph’s beer and were letting the alcohol take its effect. It wasn’t often that Leo let himself indulge in such a way so the fact that Leo chose him to relax with, made Mikey feel special. \n\nA gentle churr sounded from his left and Mikey looked over at Leo, “You thinking dirty thoughts,” he laughed. \n\n“That wasn’t me,” Leo shot back then pointed to the bushes. “It came from over there.”\n\nThey got up and made their way to the bushes to see if they could find the source of the sound. They parted the foliage and saw a small male turtle mounting a larger female. Mikey chuckled, “He’s out of his league.”\n\n“She’s letting him,” Leo pointed out.\n\n“Lucky bastard,” Mikey snorted out a laugh. They turned from the mating turtles and sat back down by the river. Mikey opened another beer and took a drink before looking up at Leo, “You see a lot of mating turtles in South America?”\n\n“Yes,” Leo nodded. “I followed one female until she laid her eggs then stayed by them until they hatched. It was beautiful.” His eyes took on a distant look as he remembered. “There were five that hatched and crawled out of the nest. They were so small and new, yet they were on their own.”\n\n“I’m glad you’re back,” Mikey smiled. “I really missed you.”\n\n“I missed you too Mikey,” Leo nudged Mikey’s shoulder with his own. \n\nMikey scooted closer to Leo so that he could place his head on Leo’s shoulder and Leo wrapped his arm around Mikey, holding him close. Turning his head so that his beak was pressed against Leo’s neck, Mikey breathed in Leo’s scent. “I missed you so much.”\n\nIt was subtle, but Leo’s breathing was heavier and Mikey could feel Leo’s pulse quicken against his beak. The gentle churrs of the mating turtles sounded in the distance. “I want you,” Mikey husked then started to attack Leo’s neck, sucking gently on the ever quickening pulse point. \n\nLeo churred and Mikey liked the sound of it and the need to hear it again overwhelmed his senses. “Mikey,” Leo moaned, gently pushing him away. “We should probably separate ourselves from each other for a while.”\n\n“Why?” Mikey looked into Leo’s eyes. “If you want me and I want you, why can’t we be together?”\n\n“We’re slightly drunk and it’s mating season,” Leo explained standing up, “that’s why. Our minds aren’t clear.”\n\n“Right,” Mikey got up and looked in the direction of the mating turtles then back up at Leo. “But, I thought about you a lot while you were gone. Maybe the beer and the season just make it easier for me to admit to it.”\n\n“If you really want a relationship with me…,” Leo started, but Mikey’s mouth on his cut off anything else he had to say. Leo staggered back and when is foot hit the slick mud along the riverbed he fell into the water and took Mikey with him. \n\nThey landed with a splash and they both gasped. “Oh that’s cold!” Mikey squealed, quickly getting up. He reached his hand down to help Leo up. “That’ll sober you up quick.”\n\nLeo accepted Mikey’s help up then flung some mud at him. “As I was saying,” Leo grumbled. “Our heads are not clear right now. If you still want me when mating season is over then we will know that your feelings are real.”\n\n“Okay,” Mikey nodded. “I’ll wait.”\n\nThey stayed out at the farm for a total of three weeks before returning to New York. During that time, Mikey gave Leo space but he still felt a desire to be with him. He was starting to wonder if Leo felt the same about him. \n\nMikey bided his time when they got back to New York and didn’t even bring up what happened at the river. The more time that passed the harder it got to even consider bringing it up again. \n\nSpring faded into summer and mating season was long over. Mikey would watch Leo throughout the day for any sigh that he was open to at least talking to Mikey about what had happened but Leo was too good at hiding his emotions. If he noticed Mike’s behavior, he didn’t show any signs of it. \n\nMikey still wanted a relationship with Leo but it was beginning to look like Leo did not feel the same. He thought about letting it go but he just had to get it out of his system. \n\nHe stood outside Leo’s room with his hand on the door while he built up his nerves. “Fuck it,” he grumbled and opened the door. Leo was going through his nightly routine and stopped mid kata as Mikey stepped inside. Mikey struggled to get his voice to work before he was able to talk. “It’s been a whole month since mating season ended.”\n\n“I know,” Leo dropped his stance to look at Mikey. \n\n“I…,” Mikey’s throat closed on him and he had to swallow hard past the lump. “I still want you.”\n\nA small smile spread across Leo’s beak, “Then why did you wait so long?”\n\n“I was afraid that you didn’t feel the same,” Mikey confessed. “You hadn’t said anything.”\n\n“I was waiting for you,” Leo walked over to Mikey and closed the door. “And you know that I don’t like public displays of affection.” \n\nMikey cupped Leo’s face in both hands and pulled him down into a kiss. Leo wrapped his arms around Mikey and pulled him closer so that their plastrons rubbed together while he opened his mouth. Taking the invitation, Mikey flicked his tongue out and slid it along Leo’s. \n\nThey stayed pressed together in a heated kiss while their hands roamed over each other’s bodies. Mikey reached down and grabbed Leo’s tail causing Leo to pull away. “We should slow down. Get to know each other first.”\n\nMikey looked at him, “We’ve lived together our whole lives. I think we know each other well enough.”\n\n“I don’t want to rush things,” Leo stepped back. “Please, Mikey. I wanna us to take our time with this.”\n\n“Alright,” Mikey nodded. “We can wait on the sex. Can we at least move to the bed and make out some more?”\n\nGrabbing Mikey’s hand, Leo laughed and led him to the bed. They lied down to continue kissing and Leo even allowed Mikey to lie on top of him. After a few hours, Mikey broke the kiss and nuzzled his beak against Leo’s. “The rush I’m getting from this is better than anything I’ve managed with just my hand and some porn and all we’ve done is kiss.”\n\n“Mikey!” Leo laughed and looked up lovingly into Mikey’s eyes. “I’m enjoying it too.”\n\n“This just feels right,” Mikey sighed. “Why did it take us so long?”\n\n“Fear of rejection for start,” Leo answered.  \n\n“And then you were gone for almost two years,” Mikey finished for him. \n\nLeo glared up at him, “Then you got cold feet.”\n\n“Because you’re so hard to read,” Mikey pouted. \n\n“Well it’s done with now,” Leo cooed, lifting his head to nuzzle Mikey’s nose. “And we have the rest of our lives to enjoy this.”\n\n“The rest of our lives?” Mikey teased. “I don’t want a serious relationship. I just wanted sex. When I’m done with you I’ll move on to Donnie.” The look he got from Leo sent Mikey into a fit of laughter. Mikey pressed down for one more kiss before getting up off of Leo. “I’m looking forward to many wonderful years with you.”\n\n“Me too,” Leo smiled. “Now get out so I can sleep. Splinter is expecting us bright and early for training.”\n\n“Goodnight, Leo,” Mikey opened the door then turned back with a grin on his face. “I’m not gonna let you keep me on second base for long. I’m gonna round those bases quick, Leo.” With that he shut the door and rushed back to his room. His mind raced with excitement and he didn’t want to go sleep, fearing that he would wake up and discover that it was all just a dream. \n\n\n**\n\n\nDonnie stayed in his lab and spent a good thirty minutes prepping himself with his dildos, stretching himself to fit Leatherhead’s massive size. It was something that he didn’t want to take the time to do when he was with his lover. What he had planned, he didn’t want having to prep him to get in the way. \n\nHe let himself enjoy the process, bringing the various dildos in far enough to strike his prostate. As the churr sounded in his chest, Donny pressed his face into his pillow to muffle the sound. He managed to bring himself to full orgasm, once, during the process, without needing to touch his penis. \n\nOnce he was done, Donnie placed a large butt plug in to keep his muscles stretched and tucked his tail up tight to hold it in place. He collected his things and made his way out of his lab, leaving a note on the door so that his family knew that he was at Leatherhead’s. \n\nThe nature of his relationship with Leatherhead was unknown to his family. They knew that the two spent a lot of time together but they all believed it was because they were working on projects. \n\nNervous anticipation ran through him as he made his way through the sewers. Two years with Leatherhead and he still got butterflies in his stomach at the thought of being with him. Their love for each other grew with no end in sight and part of Donnie wanted to finally tell his family so that he could move in with Leatherhead.\n\nWhen Donnie reached the entrance, he checked Leatherhead’s lair and saw that it was empty and he smiled in excitement. He headed into the bathroom to get dressed. He removed his gear and mask then applied some edible lotion to his skin. He then put a collar around his neck and a pair of white, laced stockings on that came up to his thigh. \n\nSquatting down he moved the butt plug, stimulating himself enough to become aroused. After securing the butt plug back in place, he tied a ribbon around his penis. His chest heaved as his breathing became heavy with excitement. He then tied another ribbon around the tip of his tail before heading out of the bathroom to wait for Leatherhead to return. \n\nHe made his way back to Leatherhead’s lab, where the bed was kept, and got himself situated to greet his lover once he returned. It wasn’t long before he heard Leatherheads voice and a smile spread across his face. He was about to call out to him but then it dawned on Donnie that Leatherhead had to have been talking to someone. Donnie’s heart froze when he heard Mikey respond to something Leatherhead said with one of his hearty laughs. \n\nDonnie suddenly felt ridiculous. He couldn’t hide in the bathroom because he would have to walk through the room Mikey was in to get to it. Panic filled him when he realized that they were heading back to the lab. \n\nLooking around, Donnie settled on a metal storage closet as his hiding place. He managed to get in and shut the door, praying that they didn’t hear him. His heart was beating so hard, he could actually see his chest pound. He didn’t want the sound of his breathing to tip them off to his location, so he calmed himself the best he could. \n\nThe space between the doors was enough for him to see Michelangelo carrying some boxes for Leatherhead, whose arms were equally full. Leatherhead pointed Mikey to the closet and Donnie felt a new surge of panic. He had to fight the tears that threatened to fall while he swallowed the sob that was caught in his throat. \n\nCovering his face with his hands, Donnie waited for it all to come crashing down. He knew that he would never hear the end of it if Mikey saw him like this. \n\nThe door opened and Donnie parted his fingers to look up at his brother but saw Leatherhead instead. Donnie froze, looking up at Leatherhead as a tear slid down his cheek. The door slammed shut and Donnie could hear Leatherhead making up and excuse for Mikey to have to leave. \n\nDonnie sat in the closet and listened to his brother’s voice gradually recede. A sense of relief washed over Donnie and he actually laughed. When the door opened again he greeted Leatherhead with a sheepish grin. “Hi.”\n\nA deep chuckle sounded from Leatherhead as he helped Donnie out of the closet. “That was close.” Donnie stood, embarrassed, in front of Leatherhead with his eyes down cast as he crossed his arms loosely over his chest. \n\nLeatherhead placed a finger under Donnie’s chin and lifted his head so that he looked up into the alligator’s eyes. A sad smile spread across Donnie’s face as he blinked away his tears. Leatherhead leaned in and nuzzled Donnie’s neck, then after noticing the scent of the edible lotion, licked along Donnie’s shoulder. Donnie chuckled as Leatherhead’s tongue lapped up the lotion along his neck and collarbone. \n\nLeatherhead’s hands started on Donnie’s thighs then moved around to play with his tail. His fingers encountered the butt plug and he started to play with it while Donnie kissed along his chest. \n\nLeatherhead sat with his back against the closet and Donnie got on his knees next to him. Licking along Leatherhead’s cloaca, Donny lifted his butt so Leatherhead had easy access to the butt plug. He churred as the plug was moved rhythmically, striking his prostate and Leatherhead rumbled out his own pleasure.  \n\nWorking Leatherhead up to a full erection, Donnie took as much of the swollen member as he could into his mouth. Despite the fact that he was prepped and properly lubed, Donnie made sure to leave a great deal of moisture on Leatherhead’s cock. \n\n“I forgot my skateboard,” Mikey’s voiced his presence as he rounded the corner to the lab and froze. “What the…?” From where he stood he got a good view of Donnie’s plugged ass. There was no hiding what they were doing. Leatherhead dropped his hand as Donnie sat, keeping his back to his brother. Tears flowed from his eyes and he could hear Mikey’s labored breathing behind him. \n\nWithout a word, Donnie heard Mikey turn and leave. Donnie’s body shook as he cried, hiding his face in his hands. Leatherhead did what he could to soothe him, but the olive turtle broke down into uncontrollable sobs and gasps. \n\nThe mood killed, Donnie cried himself to sleep in Leatherhead’s arms and woke up several hours later. After cleaning himself off in the bathroom, Donnie kissed Leatherhead goodbye and headed home. \n\nHe pushed the door open and tried to slip unnoticed into his lab, but his brothers were in the common room watching television and looked back at him as he entered. Donnie’s eyes locked with Mikey’s for a split second before he rushed off to his lab. \n\nDropping his bag to the ground, Donnie flung himself down on his cot and cried tears that he didn’t know he still had. His brothers were at his lab door, wondering what had him upset but Mikey pushed Leo and Raph out of the lab making some quip about Donnie getting over emotional when his experiments fail and shut the door in their faces. \n\nMikey made his way over to Donnie and sat down on the cot, leaning over to hug his brother. He kissed Donnie on the back of the head and whispered, “I’m with Leo. We’ve been seeing each other for about a month now. He still hasn’t let me have sex with him yet. He’s such a prude, that and he wants to tell Splinter about it before we go any further.”\n\nDonnie turned to look up at Mikey who smiled down at him. Mikey Leaned forward and pressed their foreheads together. “Thank you,” Donnie managed to smile, “for not making fun of me.”\n\n“I’m sorry I ruined your special moment with L.H.” A grin split Mikey’s face as he thought. “Can you get me a pair of stockings like that? And whatever it was that Leatherhead was messing with in your butt, I want one of those too.”\n\nDonnie blushed, “Can you please just forget what you saw?”\n\n“Sure,” Mikey laughed lightly. “Just get me those things. I want them for Leo.”\n\n“So you wanna dress up for Leo?” Donnie ventured. “Hoping that maybe he will finally have sex with you?”\n\nMikey shook his head, “No. I want Leo to wear those things for me. Stockings are hot.” His tongue flicked out and quickly licked Donnie’s neck. “And whatever it is that you have on, I want that too; it tastes good.”\n\n“B…but…,” Donnie stammered, wiping the spot Mikey licked. \n\nMikey chuckled, “Yeah, Leo reacted the same way.” Mikey turned to leave the lab, “Don’t worry about me saying anything, Donnie. My lips are sealed.”\n\n“Thank you,” Donnie managed to reply before Mikey slipped through the door.\n\n\n**\n\n\nRaph found the note and flash drive on the floor right outside his door and took it to his room to see what was on it. The note was vague, but expressed a desire of being together and was signed by Donnie. Raph plugged the flash drive into his computer and opened a file. The first image he clicked on took Raph’s breath away. It was a picture of Donatello in a pair of stockings, sitting on a glowing dildo, the angle of the camera giving a good view of the dildo entering Donnie’s ass. \n\nRaph knew that he should have stopped, but he continued to look. The flash drive was filled with pictures and videos of Donnie in sexual positions, pleasuring himself in one way or another. As he made his way through them, Raph pleasured himself to them. It was the best gift Donnie could give him. He had wanted Donnie for well over a year, but he never felt worthy of his genius brother. \n\nAfter he finished, Raph cleaned himself off and collected the note and flash drive then looked for Donnie. He found Don in his lab, frantically tearing through the room looking for something.  \n\n“Donnie?” Raph stepped through the door. \n\n“I’m busy, Raph, what do you want?” Don didn’t even look up from his search. \n\n“I… ah… found your note,” Raph held it out for Don to see.\n\nDonnie froze and slowly turned around, “What?”\n\nRaph closed the gap between them and pressed in for a heated kiss. Donnie tensed as Raph fumbled through his very first kiss. Breaking the kiss, Raph looked into Donnie’s eyes, “I feel the same. I’ve wanted you for a while now. I was just afraid to say anything. I’ve always thought that you were too good for me.”\n\n“Did you look at what was on the flash drive?” Donnie had tears in his eyes.  \n\nRaph smiled, mistaking Donnie’s reactions for nervous joy, “I did. They were hot and did the job; I’ve never been so turned on. I didn’t know you had that in you or that you could be so kinky and sexual. All you had to do was ask, though, I would have said yes. I would like to see you in those stockings again.” Raph couldn’t stop the tears of joy that fell from his eyes.\n\n“Oh God,” Donnie stifled a sob. “That wasn’t meant for you.”\n\n“What?” Raph felt his heart sink. “Who was it for then? You know Leo and Mikey are together.”\n\nDon nodded, “I know that. Mikey told me about it a few months ago.”\n\n“Then who?” Raph prompted. “Who’s left?”\n\n“It was a gift for Leatherhead,” Donnie confessed. “We’ve been together for two years and when we spend a lot of time out at the farm he gets lonely so I made that for him.” Raph could tell that Donnie was nervous; he tended to ramble when he was nervous. \n\nRaph felt sick, “Leatherhead?” He backed away from Donnie. “You’re with Leatherhead.” When Donnie nodded, Raph thrust the note and flash drive into his hands. “Yeah, okay. I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”\n\n“Raph,” Donnie reached out to him, but Raph pulled away. \n\n“I… I need some air,” Raph stammered before turning and running from the lab. \n\n“Hey Raph,” Mikey beamed as he exited Leo’s room. \n\n“Raph,” Donnie ran out of the lab. “Please, let’s talk about this.”\n\n“Talk?” Raph shouted, turning on Donnie. “You wanna talk? I just made an ass of myself and poured my heart out to you only to find out that you’re fucking Leatherhead.” Ignoring Donnie’s embracement, Raph turned to gesture to Leo and Mikey. “And there fucking each other. I’m the odd one out.” He pulled his shell cell out and threw it on the floor. “I’m outa here.”\n\nHe bolted from the lair before the others could recover from their shock. \n\nMidwinter in New York was not a good time for a turtle to be out on his own. Though the thick sewer walls provided insolation, the cold quickly caught up with Raph and he felt himself stagger. He thought about going to Casey and April’s apartment but knew that would be the first place his family would look for him. In fact, they’ve probably already called them. \n\nSo he decided to go to the one place they didn’t know about, Mrs. Morrison’s. \n\nHe had to force his limbs to pull him up the latter and it got colder the closer he got to the surface. Exhaustion was starting to win as he pushed on the manhole cover, but he still managed to get it open. \n\nHe slipped to the surface and didn’t even to bother replacing the cover. The cold quickly became too much and he collapsed to the street. “Fuck,” he grunted as he struggled to get back to his feet. When the temperature drops into the negatives, even a human would be overwhelmed by it. Raph was in such a hurry to leave that he didn’t grab is winter clothes and now he chastised himself for it. \n\nHe struggled to get to his feet and pushed himself to run to Mrs. Morrison’s door. Pounding on the door, Raph felt himself quickly losing consciousness. When the door opened, Raph fell inside. He could hear Mrs. Morrison’s voice, but it was muffled. Raph closed his eyes and slipped into darkness. \n\nWhen he woke up, he was in a warm bath with several people around him. He started to panic and moved to get out of the bath. The people around him didn’t move to try and stop him, instead they stepped back to get out of the way. \n\nRaph struggled to get his body to move and fell to the ground when he slipped over the side of the bath. “What did you do to me?” he demanded.\n\n“Saved your life,” came a familiar voice. Raph looked up to see Bishop standing over him. “Your body was shutting down from the cold. You should be happy that I had the old woman’s home watched.”\n\n“Why were you watching her house?” Raph managed to get up on all fours. \n\n“Waiting for you, of course,” Bishop answered. “When I learned of your connection to her, I placed agents to watch for you to visit.”\n\n“Why?” Raph grunted. “I thought your hate for us was over.”\n\n“It is,” Bishop just stood back and watched while Raph regained control over his body. “I was waiting for you so that I could offer you a job.”\n\nRaph got his legs under him and stood, unsteady on his feet, “You wanna offer me a job?”\n\nBishop nodded, “I want you to resume your roll as Nightwatcher.”\n\n“What?” Raph looked at Bishop in disbelief. “Why?”\n\n“You did a lot of good for this city as the Nightwatcher,” Bishop explained. “You became a symbol. Something the people could believe in. They want you back.” Bishop handed Raph a newspaper with the headline ‘Where is the Nightwatcher?’, “Don’t tell me that you haven’t heard.”\n\nRaph looked down at the paper, “I heard.” He shook his head, “I did this while Leo was away. When he got back and after we saved the city again, I promised Splinter that I was done with Nightwatcher.”\n\n“You will be paid,” Bishop offered. “And you will be given a team to command.” Raph stood holding the paper, unable to respond. He enjoyed the freedom that being the Nightwatcher gave him and he did just leave home so he needed somewhere to live. \n\nBishop removed his sunglasses and looked down at Raph, “Can I ask you something?” Raph nodded and Bishop continued. “What happened at home that made you leave without taking the time to dress for the cold weather?” \n\n“I don’t wanna talk about it,” Raph sighed. “I will tell you that I don’t plan on going home again anytime soon.” He looked up, his face an unreadable mask, “I accept. The only problem is that my gear is back at the lair.”\n\n“Not a problem,” Bishop waved it off. “We have several, updated suits for you to wear and a new bike.”\n\nRaph nodded, “Alright.”\n\n“Do you feel well enough for a tour?” Bishop asked, stepping to the side to let Raph pass. “This entire compound is open to you. I have no secrets.”\n\n“Sure you don’t.” Raph brought the paper up and slapped it on Bishop’s chest, leaving it there until Bishop brought his hands up to grab it. “Why don’t you start by showing me to my room,” Raph smirked as he walked past. “Then you can show me the weight room. I’m in need of a good work out.”\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Leo and Mikey sat by the river, basking in the sun. Their fight with the thirteen demons and saving the city, again, had taken its toll on them. Raph was out with Casey, working on the truck and Don was with April, going over different artifacts from her latest collection while Splinter watched his stories on the computer. <br /><br />Mikey loved being out at the farm in the spring, everything coming back to life after the winter&rsquo;s cold; the soft grass and warm sun sent him in to a state of bliss.<br /><br />Mikey and Leo wanted to take full advantage of having nothing to do and just relax, so they took a pack of Raph&rsquo;s beer and were letting the alcohol take its effect. It wasn&rsquo;t often that Leo let himself indulge in such a way so the fact that Leo chose him to relax with, made Mikey feel special. <br /><br />A gentle churr sounded from his left and Mikey looked over at Leo, &ldquo;You thinking dirty thoughts,&rdquo; he laughed. <br /><br />&ldquo;That wasn&rsquo;t me,&rdquo; Leo shot back then pointed to the bushes. &ldquo;It came from over there.&rdquo;<br /><br />They got up and made their way to the bushes to see if they could find the source of the sound. They parted the foliage and saw a small male turtle mounting a larger female. Mikey chuckled, &ldquo;He&rsquo;s out of his league.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;She&rsquo;s letting him,&rdquo; Leo pointed out.<br /><br />&ldquo;Lucky bastard,&rdquo; Mikey snorted out a laugh. They turned from the mating turtles and sat back down by the river. Mikey opened another beer and took a drink before looking up at Leo, &ldquo;You see a lot of mating turtles in South America?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; Leo nodded. &ldquo;I followed one female until she laid her eggs then stayed by them until they hatched. It was beautiful.&rdquo; His eyes took on a distant look as he remembered. &ldquo;There were five that hatched and crawled out of the nest. They were so small and new, yet they were on their own.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m glad you&rsquo;re back,&rdquo; Mikey smiled. &ldquo;I really missed you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I missed you too Mikey,&rdquo; Leo nudged Mikey&rsquo;s shoulder with his own. <br /><br />Mikey scooted closer to Leo so that he could place his head on Leo&rsquo;s shoulder and Leo wrapped his arm around Mikey, holding him close. Turning his head so that his beak was pressed against Leo&rsquo;s neck, Mikey breathed in Leo&rsquo;s scent. &ldquo;I missed you so much.&rdquo;<br /><br />It was subtle, but Leo&rsquo;s breathing was heavier and Mikey could feel Leo&rsquo;s pulse quicken against his beak. The gentle churrs of the mating turtles sounded in the distance. &ldquo;I want you,&rdquo; Mikey husked then started to attack Leo&rsquo;s neck, sucking gently on the ever quickening pulse point. <br /><br />Leo churred and Mikey liked the sound of it and the need to hear it again overwhelmed his senses. &ldquo;Mikey,&rdquo; Leo moaned, gently pushing him away. &ldquo;We should probably separate ourselves from each other for a while.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why?&rdquo; Mikey looked into Leo&rsquo;s eyes. &ldquo;If you want me and I want you, why can&rsquo;t we be together?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re slightly drunk and it&rsquo;s mating season,&rdquo; Leo explained standing up, &ldquo;that&rsquo;s why. Our minds aren&rsquo;t clear.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Right,&rdquo; Mikey got up and looked in the direction of the mating turtles then back up at Leo. &ldquo;But, I thought about you a lot while you were gone. Maybe the beer and the season just make it easier for me to admit to it.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;If you really want a relationship with me&hellip;,&rdquo; Leo started, but Mikey&rsquo;s mouth on his cut off anything else he had to say. Leo staggered back and when is foot hit the slick mud along the riverbed he fell into the water and took Mikey with him. <br /><br />They landed with a splash and they both gasped. &ldquo;Oh that&rsquo;s cold!&rdquo; Mikey squealed, quickly getting up. He reached his hand down to help Leo up. &ldquo;That&rsquo;ll sober you up quick.&rdquo;<br /><br />Leo accepted Mikey&rsquo;s help up then flung some mud at him. &ldquo;As I was saying,&rdquo; Leo grumbled. &ldquo;Our heads are not clear right now. If you still want me when mating season is over then we will know that your feelings are real.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; Mikey nodded. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll wait.&rdquo;<br /><br />They stayed out at the farm for a total of three weeks before returning to New York. During that time, Mikey gave Leo space but he still felt a desire to be with him. He was starting to wonder if Leo felt the same about him. <br /><br />Mikey bided his time when they got back to New York and didn&rsquo;t even bring up what happened at the river. The more time that passed the harder it got to even consider bringing it up again. <br /><br />Spring faded into summer and mating season was long over. Mikey would watch Leo throughout the day for any sigh that he was open to at least talking to Mikey about what had happened but Leo was too good at hiding his emotions. If he noticed Mike&rsquo;s behavior, he didn&rsquo;t show any signs of it. <br /><br />Mikey still wanted a relationship with Leo but it was beginning to look like Leo did not feel the same. He thought about letting it go but he just had to get it out of his system. <br /><br />He stood outside Leo&rsquo;s room with his hand on the door while he built up his nerves. &ldquo;Fuck it,&rdquo; he grumbled and opened the door. Leo was going through his nightly routine and stopped mid kata as Mikey stepped inside. Mikey struggled to get his voice to work before he was able to talk. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a whole month since mating season ended.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I know,&rdquo; Leo dropped his stance to look at Mikey. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip;,&rdquo; Mikey&rsquo;s throat closed on him and he had to swallow hard past the lump. &ldquo;I still want you.&rdquo;<br /><br />A small smile spread across Leo&rsquo;s beak, &ldquo;Then why did you wait so long?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I was afraid that you didn&rsquo;t feel the same,&rdquo; Mikey confessed. &ldquo;You hadn&rsquo;t said anything.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I was waiting for you,&rdquo; Leo walked over to Mikey and closed the door. &ldquo;And you know that I don&rsquo;t like public displays of affection.&rdquo; <br /><br />Mikey cupped Leo&rsquo;s face in both hands and pulled him down into a kiss. Leo wrapped his arms around Mikey and pulled him closer so that their plastrons rubbed together while he opened his mouth. Taking the invitation, Mikey flicked his tongue out and slid it along Leo&rsquo;s. <br /><br />They stayed pressed together in a heated kiss while their hands roamed over each other&rsquo;s bodies. Mikey reached down and grabbed Leo&rsquo;s tail causing Leo to pull away. &ldquo;We should slow down. Get to know each other first.&rdquo;<br /><br />Mikey looked at him, &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve lived together our whole lives. I think we know each other well enough.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to rush things,&rdquo; Leo stepped back. &ldquo;Please, Mikey. I wanna us to take our time with this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Alright,&rdquo; Mikey nodded. &ldquo;We can wait on the sex. Can we at least move to the bed and make out some more?&rdquo;<br /><br />Grabbing Mikey&rsquo;s hand, Leo laughed and led him to the bed. They lied down to continue kissing and Leo even allowed Mikey to lie on top of him. After a few hours, Mikey broke the kiss and nuzzled his beak against Leo&rsquo;s. &ldquo;The rush I&rsquo;m getting from this is better than anything I&rsquo;ve managed with just my hand and some porn and all we&rsquo;ve done is kiss.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Mikey!&rdquo; Leo laughed and looked up lovingly into Mikey&rsquo;s eyes. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m enjoying it too.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;This just feels right,&rdquo; Mikey sighed. &ldquo;Why did it take us so long?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Fear of rejection for start,&rdquo; Leo answered.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;And then you were gone for almost two years,&rdquo; Mikey finished for him. <br /><br />Leo glared up at him, &ldquo;Then you got cold feet.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Because you&rsquo;re so hard to read,&rdquo; Mikey pouted. <br /><br />&ldquo;Well it&rsquo;s done with now,&rdquo; Leo cooed, lifting his head to nuzzle Mikey&rsquo;s nose. &ldquo;And we have the rest of our lives to enjoy this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;The rest of our lives?&rdquo; Mikey teased. &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want a serious relationship. I just wanted sex. When I&rsquo;m done with you I&rsquo;ll move on to Donnie.&rdquo; The look he got from Leo sent Mikey into a fit of laughter. Mikey pressed down for one more kiss before getting up off of Leo. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m looking forward to many wonderful years with you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Me too,&rdquo; Leo smiled. &ldquo;Now get out so I can sleep. Splinter is expecting us bright and early for training.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Goodnight, Leo,&rdquo; Mikey opened the door then turned back with a grin on his face. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not gonna let you keep me on second base for long. I&rsquo;m gonna round those bases quick, Leo.&rdquo; With that he shut the door and rushed back to his room. His mind raced with excitement and he didn&rsquo;t want to go sleep, fearing that he would wake up and discover that it was all just a dream. <br /><br /><br />**<br /><br /><br />Donnie stayed in his lab and spent a good thirty minutes prepping himself with his dildos, stretching himself to fit Leatherhead&rsquo;s massive size. It was something that he didn&rsquo;t want to take the time to do when he was with his lover. What he had planned, he didn&rsquo;t want having to prep him to get in the way. <br /><br />He let himself enjoy the process, bringing the various dildos in far enough to strike his prostate. As the churr sounded in his chest, Donny pressed his face into his pillow to muffle the sound. He managed to bring himself to full orgasm, once, during the process, without needing to touch his penis. <br /><br />Once he was done, Donnie placed a large butt plug in to keep his muscles stretched and tucked his tail up tight to hold it in place. He collected his things and made his way out of his lab, leaving a note on the door so that his family knew that he was at Leatherhead&rsquo;s. <br /><br />The nature of his relationship with Leatherhead was unknown to his family. They knew that the two spent a lot of time together but they all believed it was because they were working on projects. <br /><br />Nervous anticipation ran through him as he made his way through the sewers. Two years with Leatherhead and he still got butterflies in his stomach at the thought of being with him. Their love for each other grew with no end in sight and part of Donnie wanted to finally tell his family so that he could move in with Leatherhead.<br /><br />When Donnie reached the entrance, he checked Leatherhead&rsquo;s lair and saw that it was empty and he smiled in excitement. He headed into the bathroom to get dressed. He removed his gear and mask then applied some edible lotion to his skin. He then put a collar around his neck and a pair of white, laced stockings on that came up to his thigh. <br /><br />Squatting down he moved the butt plug, stimulating himself enough to become aroused. After securing the butt plug back in place, he tied a ribbon around his penis. His chest heaved as his breathing became heavy with excitement. He then tied another ribbon around the tip of his tail before heading out of the bathroom to wait for Leatherhead to return. <br /><br />He made his way back to Leatherhead&rsquo;s lab, where the bed was kept, and got himself situated to greet his lover once he returned. It wasn&rsquo;t long before he heard Leatherheads voice and a smile spread across his face. He was about to call out to him but then it dawned on Donnie that Leatherhead had to have been talking to someone. Donnie&rsquo;s heart froze when he heard Mikey respond to something Leatherhead said with one of his hearty laughs. <br /><br />Donnie suddenly felt ridiculous. He couldn&rsquo;t hide in the bathroom because he would have to walk through the room Mikey was in to get to it. Panic filled him when he realized that they were heading back to the lab. <br /><br />Looking around, Donnie settled on a metal storage closet as his hiding place. He managed to get in and shut the door, praying that they didn&rsquo;t hear him. His heart was beating so hard, he could actually see his chest pound. He didn&rsquo;t want the sound of his breathing to tip them off to his location, so he calmed himself the best he could. <br /><br />The space between the doors was enough for him to see Michelangelo carrying some boxes for Leatherhead, whose arms were equally full. Leatherhead pointed Mikey to the closet and Donnie felt a new surge of panic. He had to fight the tears that threatened to fall while he swallowed the sob that was caught in his throat. <br /><br />Covering his face with his hands, Donnie waited for it all to come crashing down. He knew that he would never hear the end of it if Mikey saw him like this. <br /><br />The door opened and Donnie parted his fingers to look up at his brother but saw Leatherhead instead. Donnie froze, looking up at Leatherhead as a tear slid down his cheek. The door slammed shut and Donnie could hear Leatherhead making up and excuse for Mikey to have to leave. <br /><br />Donnie sat in the closet and listened to his brother&rsquo;s voice gradually recede. A sense of relief washed over Donnie and he actually laughed. When the door opened again he greeted Leatherhead with a sheepish grin. &ldquo;Hi.&rdquo;<br /><br />A deep chuckle sounded from Leatherhead as he helped Donnie out of the closet. &ldquo;That was close.&rdquo; Donnie stood, embarrassed, in front of Leatherhead with his eyes down cast as he crossed his arms loosely over his chest. <br /><br />Leatherhead placed a finger under Donnie&rsquo;s chin and lifted his head so that he looked up into the alligator&rsquo;s eyes. A sad smile spread across Donnie&rsquo;s face as he blinked away his tears. Leatherhead leaned in and nuzzled Donnie&rsquo;s neck, then after noticing the scent of the edible lotion, licked along Donnie&rsquo;s shoulder. Donnie chuckled as Leatherhead&rsquo;s tongue lapped up the lotion along his neck and collarbone. <br /><br />Leatherhead&rsquo;s hands started on Donnie&rsquo;s thighs then moved around to play with his tail. His fingers encountered the butt plug and he started to play with it while Donnie kissed along his chest. <br /><br />Leatherhead sat with his back against the closet and Donnie got on his knees next to him. Licking along Leatherhead&rsquo;s cloaca, Donny lifted his butt so Leatherhead had easy access to the butt plug. He churred as the plug was moved rhythmically, striking his prostate and Leatherhead rumbled out his own pleasure.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Working Leatherhead up to a full erection, Donnie took as much of the swollen member as he could into his mouth. Despite the fact that he was prepped and properly lubed, Donnie made sure to leave a great deal of moisture on Leatherhead&rsquo;s cock. <br /><br />&ldquo;I forgot my skateboard,&rdquo; Mikey&rsquo;s voiced his presence as he rounded the corner to the lab and froze. &ldquo;What the&hellip;?&rdquo; From where he stood he got a good view of Donnie&rsquo;s plugged ass. There was no hiding what they were doing. Leatherhead dropped his hand as Donnie sat, keeping his back to his brother. Tears flowed from his eyes and he could hear Mikey&rsquo;s labored breathing behind him. <br /><br />Without a word, Donnie heard Mikey turn and leave. Donnie&rsquo;s body shook as he cried, hiding his face in his hands. Leatherhead did what he could to soothe him, but the olive turtle broke down into uncontrollable sobs and gasps. <br /><br />The mood killed, Donnie cried himself to sleep in Leatherhead&rsquo;s arms and woke up several hours later. After cleaning himself off in the bathroom, Donnie kissed Leatherhead goodbye and headed home. <br /><br />He pushed the door open and tried to slip unnoticed into his lab, but his brothers were in the common room watching television and looked back at him as he entered. Donnie&rsquo;s eyes locked with Mikey&rsquo;s for a split second before he rushed off to his lab. <br /><br />Dropping his bag to the ground, Donnie flung himself down on his cot and cried tears that he didn&rsquo;t know he still had. His brothers were at his lab door, wondering what had him upset but Mikey pushed Leo and Raph out of the lab making some quip about Donnie getting over emotional when his experiments fail and shut the door in their faces. <br /><br />Mikey made his way over to Donnie and sat down on the cot, leaning over to hug his brother. He kissed Donnie on the back of the head and whispered, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m with Leo. We&rsquo;ve been seeing each other for about a month now. He still hasn&rsquo;t let me have sex with him yet. He&rsquo;s such a prude, that and he wants to tell Splinter about it before we go any further.&rdquo;<br /><br />Donnie turned to look up at Mikey who smiled down at him. Mikey Leaned forward and pressed their foreheads together. &ldquo;Thank you,&rdquo; Donnie managed to smile, &ldquo;for not making fun of me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry I ruined your special moment with L.H.&rdquo; A grin split Mikey&rsquo;s face as he thought. &ldquo;Can you get me a pair of stockings like that? And whatever it was that Leatherhead was messing with in your butt, I want one of those too.&rdquo;<br /><br />Donnie blushed, &ldquo;Can you please just forget what you saw?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sure,&rdquo; Mikey laughed lightly. &ldquo;Just get me those things. I want them for Leo.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So you wanna dress up for Leo?&rdquo; Donnie ventured. &ldquo;Hoping that maybe he will finally have sex with you?&rdquo;<br /><br />Mikey shook his head, &ldquo;No. I want Leo to wear those things for me. Stockings are hot.&rdquo; His tongue flicked out and quickly licked Donnie&rsquo;s neck. &ldquo;And whatever it is that you have on, I want that too; it tastes good.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;B&hellip;but&hellip;,&rdquo; Donnie stammered, wiping the spot Mikey licked. <br /><br />Mikey chuckled, &ldquo;Yeah, Leo reacted the same way.&rdquo; Mikey turned to leave the lab, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry about me saying anything, Donnie. My lips are sealed.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Thank you,&rdquo; Donnie managed to reply before Mikey slipped through the door.<br /><br /><br />**<br /><br /><br />Raph found the note and flash drive on the floor right outside his door and took it to his room to see what was on it. The note was vague, but expressed a desire of being together and was signed by Donnie. Raph plugged the flash drive into his computer and opened a file. The first image he clicked on took Raph&rsquo;s breath away. It was a picture of Donatello in a pair of stockings, sitting on a glowing dildo, the angle of the camera giving a good view of the dildo entering Donnie&rsquo;s ass. <br /><br />Raph knew that he should have stopped, but he continued to look. The flash drive was filled with pictures and videos of Donnie in sexual positions, pleasuring himself in one way or another. As he made his way through them, Raph pleasured himself to them. It was the best gift Donnie could give him. He had wanted Donnie for well over a year, but he never felt worthy of his genius brother. <br /><br />After he finished, Raph cleaned himself off and collected the note and flash drive then looked for Donnie. He found Don in his lab, frantically tearing through the room looking for something.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />&ldquo;Donnie?&rdquo; Raph stepped through the door. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m busy, Raph, what do you want?&rdquo; Don didn&rsquo;t even look up from his search. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; ah&hellip; found your note,&rdquo; Raph held it out for Don to see.<br /><br />Donnie froze and slowly turned around, &ldquo;What?&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph closed the gap between them and pressed in for a heated kiss. Donnie tensed as Raph fumbled through his very first kiss. Breaking the kiss, Raph looked into Donnie&rsquo;s eyes, &ldquo;I feel the same. I&rsquo;ve wanted you for a while now. I was just afraid to say anything. I&rsquo;ve always thought that you were too good for me.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Did you look at what was on the flash drive?&rdquo; Donnie had tears in his eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Raph smiled, mistaking Donnie&rsquo;s reactions for nervous joy, &ldquo;I did. They were hot and did the job; I&rsquo;ve never been so turned on. I didn&rsquo;t know you had that in you or that you could be so kinky and sexual. All you had to do was ask, though, I would have said yes. I would like to see you in those stockings again.&rdquo; Raph couldn&rsquo;t stop the tears of joy that fell from his eyes.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh God,&rdquo; Donnie stifled a sob. &ldquo;That wasn&rsquo;t meant for you.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What?&rdquo; Raph felt his heart sink. &ldquo;Who was it for then? You know Leo and Mikey are together.&rdquo;<br /><br />Don nodded, &ldquo;I know that. Mikey told me about it a few months ago.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Then who?&rdquo; Raph prompted. &ldquo;Who&rsquo;s left?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It was a gift for Leatherhead,&rdquo; Donnie confessed. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been together for two years and when we spend a lot of time out at the farm he gets lonely so I made that for him.&rdquo; Raph could tell that Donnie was nervous; he tended to ramble when he was nervous. <br /><br />Raph felt sick, &ldquo;Leatherhead?&rdquo; He backed away from Donnie. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re with Leatherhead.&rdquo; When Donnie nodded, Raph thrust the note and flash drive into his hands. &ldquo;Yeah, okay. I&rsquo;m sorry for the misunderstanding.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Raph,&rdquo; Donnie reached out to him, but Raph pulled away. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip; I need some air,&rdquo; Raph stammered before turning and running from the lab. <br /><br />&ldquo;Hey Raph,&rdquo; Mikey beamed as he exited Leo&rsquo;s room. <br /><br />&ldquo;Raph,&rdquo; Donnie ran out of the lab. &ldquo;Please, let&rsquo;s talk about this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Talk?&rdquo; Raph shouted, turning on Donnie. &ldquo;You wanna talk? I just made an ass of myself and poured my heart out to you only to find out that you&rsquo;re fucking Leatherhead.&rdquo; Ignoring Donnie&rsquo;s embracement, Raph turned to gesture to Leo and Mikey. &ldquo;And there fucking each other. I&rsquo;m the odd one out.&rdquo; He pulled his shell cell out and threw it on the floor. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m outa here.&rdquo;<br /><br />He bolted from the lair before the others could recover from their shock. <br /><br />Midwinter in New York was not a good time for a turtle to be out on his own. Though the thick sewer walls provided insolation, the cold quickly caught up with Raph and he felt himself stagger. He thought about going to Casey and April&rsquo;s apartment but knew that would be the first place his family would look for him. In fact, they&rsquo;ve probably already called them. <br /><br />So he decided to go to the one place they didn&rsquo;t know about, Mrs. Morrison&rsquo;s. <br /><br />He had to force his limbs to pull him up the latter and it got colder the closer he got to the surface. Exhaustion was starting to win as he pushed on the manhole cover, but he still managed to get it open. <br /><br />He slipped to the surface and didn&rsquo;t even to bother replacing the cover. The cold quickly became too much and he collapsed to the street. &ldquo;Fuck,&rdquo; he grunted as he struggled to get back to his feet. When the temperature drops into the negatives, even a human would be overwhelmed by it. Raph was in such a hurry to leave that he didn&rsquo;t grab is winter clothes and now he chastised himself for it. <br /><br />He struggled to get to his feet and pushed himself to run to Mrs. Morrison&rsquo;s door. Pounding on the door, Raph felt himself quickly losing consciousness. When the door opened, Raph fell inside. He could hear Mrs. Morrison&rsquo;s voice, but it was muffled. Raph closed his eyes and slipped into darkness. <br /><br />When he woke up, he was in a warm bath with several people around him. He started to panic and moved to get out of the bath. The people around him didn&rsquo;t move to try and stop him, instead they stepped back to get out of the way. <br /><br />Raph struggled to get his body to move and fell to the ground when he slipped over the side of the bath. &ldquo;What did you do to me?&rdquo; he demanded.<br /><br />&ldquo;Saved your life,&rdquo; came a familiar voice. Raph looked up to see Bishop standing over him. &ldquo;Your body was shutting down from the cold. You should be happy that I had the old woman&rsquo;s home watched.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why were you watching her house?&rdquo; Raph managed to get up on all fours. <br /><br />&ldquo;Waiting for you, of course,&rdquo; Bishop answered. &ldquo;When I learned of your connection to her, I placed agents to watch for you to visit.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Why?&rdquo; Raph grunted. &ldquo;I thought your hate for us was over.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;It is,&rdquo; Bishop just stood back and watched while Raph regained control over his body. &ldquo;I was waiting for you so that I could offer you a job.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph got his legs under him and stood, unsteady on his feet, &ldquo;You wanna offer me a job?&rdquo;<br /><br />Bishop nodded, &ldquo;I want you to resume your roll as Nightwatcher.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What?&rdquo; Raph looked at Bishop in disbelief. &ldquo;Why?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You did a lot of good for this city as the Nightwatcher,&rdquo; Bishop explained. &ldquo;You became a symbol. Something the people could believe in. They want you back.&rdquo; Bishop handed Raph a newspaper with the headline &lsquo;Where is the Nightwatcher?&rsquo;, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t tell me that you haven&rsquo;t heard.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph looked down at the paper, &ldquo;I heard.&rdquo; He shook his head, &ldquo;I did this while Leo was away. When he got back and after we saved the city again, I promised Splinter that I was done with Nightwatcher.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;You will be paid,&rdquo; Bishop offered. &ldquo;And you will be given a team to command.&rdquo; Raph stood holding the paper, unable to respond. He enjoyed the freedom that being the Nightwatcher gave him and he did just leave home so he needed somewhere to live. <br /><br />Bishop removed his sunglasses and looked down at Raph, &ldquo;Can I ask you something?&rdquo; Raph nodded and Bishop continued. &ldquo;What happened at home that made you leave without taking the time to dress for the cold weather?&rdquo; <br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t wanna talk about it,&rdquo; Raph sighed. &ldquo;I will tell you that I don&rsquo;t plan on going home again anytime soon.&rdquo; He looked up, his face an unreadable mask, &ldquo;I accept. The only problem is that my gear is back at the lair.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Not a problem,&rdquo; Bishop waved it off. &ldquo;We have several, updated suits for you to wear and a new bike.&rdquo;<br /><br />Raph nodded, &ldquo;Alright.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Do you feel well enough for a tour?&rdquo; Bishop asked, stepping to the side to let Raph pass. &ldquo;This entire compound is open to you. I have no secrets.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Sure you don&rsquo;t.&rdquo; Raph brought the paper up and slapped it on Bishop&rsquo;s chest, leaving it there until Bishop brought his hands up to grab it. &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you start by showing me to my room,&rdquo; Raph smirked as he walked past. &ldquo;Then you can show me the weight room. I&rsquo;m in need of a good work out.&rdquo;<br /></span>","pools_count":1,"title":"TMNT: Something Unexpected Ch 1","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"text/rtf","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"2","rating_name":"Adult","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"4","name":"Sexual Themes","description":"Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal","rating_id":"2"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"1","views":"457","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
