Rock your world 2

Donnie stared into the skyline as he let out a long sigh. "Penny for your thoughts..." He turned his gaze, finding Leo standing next to him, arms loosely crossed around his waist. "You have been distracted since rehearsal. Anything you would like to talk about?"

Don's cheeks became lightly blushed. "I-it's nothing, really... I'm sorry if I caused any inconvenience, Leo. I promise I'll be back to normal by tomorrow." He gave his bandmate a toothy smile, but Leo was very keen when it came to deciphering people's feelings; he was far from being fooled. 

"It's your brother, isn't it..." It was more of a statement than a question. 

Donnie's eyes widen as his smile faded. He turned his sight back to the city, and taking a deep breath he opened up a bit to the other turtle. "He was so calm... I thought he would be angry, like 'murderous' angry... You know, after what I pulled on him..."  

"You mean when you picked yourself over him for once in your life?" Leonardo placed his hand gently on Donnie's, trying to coax the younger turtle's eyes back to him. "When will you stop punishing yourself over choosing your happiness? You should be happy your stubborn brother is willing to talk things out and maybe make amends."

Donatello's chin began to tremble, his eyes still set on the horizon. "What if he's still really angry... What if I say the wrong thing and push him over the edge again...?" A tear rolled down his cheek and he immediately shrugged his shoulder to wipe it off.

"Hmm... Those are both plausible situations... Being that your brother is a real hot-head." Donnie finally looked at Leo, fear in his eyes. Leo smiled, making Don's face blush. "He loves you, Donnie. He'll get it. And if he doesn't, I'll make him get it." Donnie's heart started to beat faster. There was something about Leo that would always put him at peace but at the same time exhilarate him. He could only manage a smile and a nod amongst his nerves. Leo chuckled, patted Donatello's bald head and walked off. 

Taking a deep breath, Donatello pulled out his phone, swiped through his contact list and then proceeded to bring it to his ear slit. 

Raph was snoozing off on Casey's couch. The time difference had him in a daze, and he was hating every second of it. Suddenly, the obnoxious loud alarm ringtone on his cell started to go off, making him slightly flinch. He groaned his annoyance and without looking at the screen he swiped the screen to answer. "State yer name and purpose." 

"Hey, bro..." Raph's eyes slightly open, he took a nice deep breath to ease his temper. "Did I wake you?" Donnie's voice was low and timid, it made Raph smile. 

"Hey, Donnie-boy. Yeah ya kinda woke me but it ain't yer fault, it's the damn time difference." Raph stretched his muscular arms out, giving out a lazy grunt in the process. "What's up?"

Don started to fidget a little, feeling nervous as he searched for his words. "Well, uhm... About getting together... I was wondering... Well, tomorrow we have late practice so if it's with you, maybe we could have lunch together...?" Don's voice etched off at the end of his sentence, his nerves getting the best of him, it made Raph smile.

"Geeze, bro, it's not like yer talking ta a girl or something, why ya getting so damn nervous!? Yer voice sounded like ya are just going through puberty or something." Raph herd a low nervous chuckle from Donnie. "No worries, kid. Yeah, we can do lunch. Just say the time and place, I'll be there." 

Don's face lit up with a huge smile, that had gone easier than he expected. "G-great! I'll send u a text later with the details!" Don was ecstatic. He had missed his brother very much, and getting him back was something he thought would be beyond difficult. "Hope you get some rest, Raph. I'll send the text tomorrow so it doesn't wake you. Bye!" 

"Sounds peachy. S'long, bro." Raphael hung up the phone, and with a smile he curled back up to snooze some more. 

"YYEEESSSSS!!!!" Don gave a little jump and pranced towards the living area where Leo was sitting watching the news. 

"I take it went well?" Donnie's face blushed as he happily nodded at his band leader. "I'm glad..." Leo smiled. His smiles where so beautiful and pure, yet stoic at the same time. Maybe that's what had gotten him so many fans, both girls and boys would go crazy for him. He was the closest one could get to being absolutely perfect. 

As Don started to sit next to him, they heard a scuffle of things coming from Mikey's room. Soon after the door opened and a young sexy lizard girl ran out half dressed, holding her shoes in her hand as an annoyed Michelangelo screamed behind her, "get out, ya filthy bitch. Hope ya know ya went as low as one can go. You disgust me." The girl stopped to open the door, noticing Leo and Don staring at her from the couch. Her eyes filled with tears as she opened the door and ran out, slamming it behind her. 

"Michelangelo!?" Leonardo hissed.

"Forget her, bro. Fucking broad slept with me to get to you. Ya know the story. It's always the same. You should make a fucking media announcement that ya swing the other way so I can have my girls in peace." Mikey seemed very annoyed, it was obvious this wasn't the first time this had happened. 

"I'm sorry that girl wasn't honest, Mike. Maybe you should pay more attention to your likes in women," Leonardo answered with a hint of a scold in his tone. 

"Maybe I should announce from the Empire State Building that Leo dearest is a fag..."

Leonardo was on his feet in a flash and had Mikey pinned against the wall. "Don't. Ever. Call me. That."

Mikey let out a deep breath, he knew he crossed the line. "I'm sorry, bro. My bad... It's just I kinda really liked that girl..." Leonardo released his hold and took a step back. "Besides, I don't understand why you can't just come out already... You know it would make you happier too. It's who you are, dude."

"It's too early in the game for that, Mike. We can't afford to loose any fan base at the moment... Besides, ultimately this is MY prerogative, not yours." Leo was very clear with that last sentence, Mikey could only lower his head and mutter an apology before the leader had grabbed his coat and head out the door.

"Pppfff.... As if. Chicks love drama and love regardless. So what if he's gay? I bet the fans would be eager to see him develop love relationships and stuff too. They would totally cheer him on." He slumped next to Donnie, grabbing for the tv remote. 

"It's not that easy, Mikey. Specially for a guy who's image is one of strength and manliness. Trust me on this." Don crossed his arms and focused on the revolving channels in the tv screen.

"Hmm, trust you, you say...?" Those words sparked questions in Donnie's head. If there was a turtle who didn't miss a beat when it came to catching hints in the air, specially if they weren't meant to be caught, that was Michelangelo.
