It wasn’t a common occurrence for him but his thoughts overwhelmed him to the point that he couldn’t shut them down. He kept going over conversations, both real and hypothetical. He felt like he was preparing for a big speech but still wasn’t sure what topic to choose. \n\nReading Leo’s notes only added to the torrent of thoughts. Try as he might, he just couldn’t stop thinking about everything. So, he got up to take a walk through the lair.\n\nHe ended up in the dojo and decided to run through some katas, adding in a few one handed back flips to avoid using his injured hand. He noticed how, the older that he got, the less flexible he was. Splinter had told him that it was something that came with age and that all men had to compensate for it. Mikey was determined to prove him wrong. He just had to work harder to maintain that level of flexibility. \n\nWorking up a good sweat, Mikey hoped that he body was tired enough to overrule his mind’s desire to stay awake. After taking a quick shower to clean off the sweat, Mikey headed back upstairs. \n\nAs he passed Leo’s room, he heard Leo mumbling and stopped to lean in close. Sounds of shifting and thumping accompanied the low mumbles. It wasn’t long before Mikey realized that Leo was having a nightmare. \n\nHe opened the door enough to look in and saw Leo thrashing on his floor. Memories of earlier that day had Mikey frozen in the door way. He didn’t want Leo to attack him again. He hesitated for a moment, and then ultimately decided to go in, closing the door behind him. \n\n“Leo?” Mikey stayed back out of arm’s reach. “Leo, you’re having a nightmare.” He tried to keep his voice soft but loud enough to penetrate the dream. “Wake up and please don’t freak out on me again.”\n\nLeo startled awake, his eyes wide in surprise as he looked up at Mikey. For a moment, Mikey was afraid that Leo was going to attack but he turned his face into his pillow instead. “I keep having nightmares that I’m back in the forest.”\n\nMikey nodded his understanding then hesitated to ask, “Why are you on the floor and not up in your bed?”\n\nLeo took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “The bed feels strange. I guess I got used to sleeping on the hard ground.”\n\nMikey knelt down and tilted his head to the side, “Was it easy adjusting to sleeping on the hard ground?”\n\nLeo pulled his head up but continued to look down at the pillow as he shook his head. “No, but I didn’t have a choice.”\n\n“No wonder you keep having nightmares about being back in the forest,” Mikey got up and pulled on Leo to stand. “If you slept on your bed, it wouldn’t feel the same as it did when you slept in the forest. Don’t let the floor be an option, Leo. Get yourself used to sleeping in a bed again.”\n\nLeo hesitated a moment then got to his feet, bringing his pillow with him. “I didn’t think about it that way.”\n\nGesturing to the bed, Mikey said, “Lay down.”\n\nAs Leo got up on the bed, Mikey picked the sheet up off the floor. He waited for Leo to get settled then flipped the sheet out and covered him. \n\n“Goodnight, Leo.” He turned to leave, making it all the way to the door when the sound of Leo shifting had him turning back around. Leo struggled to get comfortable and Mikey knew that he wasn’t going to get any sleep. \n\nShifting his weight from foot to foot, Mikey had a debate in his head. As much as he didn’t want to admit it to himself, he still loved Leo and seeing him suffer, hurt. He gave in to his desires and walked back over to Leo. \n\nLeo stilled when he realized that Mikey was walking towards him, unsure of what was going on. When Mikey moved to get on the bed, Leo shifted to make room for him. Though the bed was big, they had to press together so they would both fit. \n\n“I… I still don’t…” Mikey sighed in frustration, unable to put his thoughts together. Every speech he had prepared only hours before were lost in a jumble. \n\nLeo’s hand hovered over Mikey’s shoulder for a moment then pulled back. “It’s okay, Mikey. I don’t expect you to forgive me anytime soon. I’m sorry I took your art and looked through it. And for attacking you earlier. And… for the way I treated you before that.”\n\n“You were going through your own problems and my arm wasn’t hurt all that much.” Mikey shrugged, addressing Leo’s apologies in reverse. “My art’s all organized now and your notes were an interesting read.”\n\nLeo tensed, “I forgot those where in there.”\n\n“I’m glad my pictures helped you,” Mikey said in a small voice. “And…, it was nice to learn that you weren’t mad at me for drawing you… doing… uh… stuff with me.”\n\nLeo shook his head, “What got me the most were all the pictures you drew of yourself, sad, and realizing that you have been drawing them for years. You were always so jovial. ”\n\nMikey shrugged and did his best to hide his face, “I hid my sadness behind my jokes and let them out in my art. It was very therapeutic. I was never so sad that it was unbearable. Then I found a love in cooking and how much you guys liked what I made. That brought me so much joy.”\n\n“You have gotten really good at it,” Leo smiled, his hand hovering once again over Mikey before pulling back. \n\n“My box with all my recipes was lost in the fire,” Mikey said then added with a slight smirk. “That is, if you don’t have it hidden in here.”\n\nLeo managed a soft chuckle, “I wish I did.”\n\n“I still have doubts, Leo,” Mikey admitted. “Part of me thinks that you’re only being nice because I hurt myself.”\n\n“I don’t know what I can do to quell those doubts,” Leo’s hand, once again, hovered over Mikey. “I have doubts too, and fears.”\n\n“Like touching?” Mikey asked as Leo’s hand pulled back again. \n\n“Like touching,” Leo nodded, clenching his fist at his side. “The only contact I had with anyone in those two years was to hurt and be hurt. But my biggest fear is getting attached only to have Splinter see me as a failure and decide to send me back.”\n\nMikey placed his hand on Leo’s cheek and the older turtle closed his eyes as his breathing staggered. “Does that hurt, Leo?” Mikey slid his fingers along Leo’s jaw line. \n\nLeo shook his head but didn’t open his eyes, continuing to take uneven breaths. \n\n“You’re not a failure, Leo. Having the strength to come home was the test. I don’t think Splinter will send you away again but if he does, I’ll go with you. I won’t let you be alone again.” Mikey’s words had Leo’s eyes opening. A soft smile spread across Mikey’s beak and he slid his hand down Leo’s arm. “Maybe we can help each other quell our doubts and fears.”\n\n“I’d like that,” Leo whispered. With a gentle smile, Leo brought his trembling hand up and caressed Mikey’s cheek. “I don’t think there is anyone I would rather do it with.”\n\n**\n\nRaph checked the handle on the lab door and found it locked. Grinning, he picked the lock with precision and slid, unheard, into the lab, closing the door behind him. \n\nThe lab was dark with the exception of one, dim light, back where Donny kept his bed. With the stealth of a ninja, Raph made his way through the dark lab. Rounding the artificial wall of bookcases and cabinets, Raph saw exactly what he was expecting to see. \n\nDonny was without his shell, on his bed, with a dildo pushed balls deep into his ass. It was titillating to watch. Raph’s eyes moved up and noticed that Donny also had something that he was using on his cock, leaving Raph to wonder just how many toys Donny owned. \n\nDonny’s eyes were clenched shut and he was biting his bottom lip. Raph felt his cock harden and slip out as he watched. It was when he heard his name on Donny’s lips that he couldn’t take it anymore. \n\nDonny was so absorbed in what he was doing that he didn’t notice Raph until he was almost on top of him. Donny’s eyes snapped open, wide with surprise. His chest heaved and his body went limp, not fighting as Raph removed the dildo and tossed it to the side. \n\n“You don’t need that anymore,” Raph’s husked, settling between Donny’s legs. \n\nThe surprise in Donny’s eyes faded and softened into a smile. He pulled Raph down into a messy kiss then pushed on Raph’s carapace. In his aroused state, it was hard for Raph to gain the level of concentration needed to detach from his carapace. It wasn’t something he liked doing so he wasn’t practiced in it. \n\nAfter a few minutes, they managed to remove it and Donny set it on the floor, next to his. With the shell gone, Raph gained some extra flexibility, making thrusting easier. With little effort, Raph was able to push inside Donny, eliciting a soft moan from the smaller turtle. \n\nThe silky warmth had Raph’s head spinning and his cock screaming with the need to release. He moved with tentative strokes, burying his face in the pillow by Donny’s head. “Oh, fuck.”\n\nDon ran his hands down Raph’s back then back up again. “You can wait a minute before moving so your body can adjust to the new sensation.”\n\n“That sounds like a good idea,” Raph choked out, swallowing hard. “I don’t know if it’s gonna make any difference. This is a little bit of shock to the system.”\n\n“It’s my understanding that most men don’t last long their first time penetrating,” Donny stated as a matter of fact. “Masturbation is nothing compared to it.”\n\n“Thanks for being so understanding,” Raph mumbled, pulling out a little. The cool air on his shaft did little help to ease his raging hard on. “I’m gonna have to make it up to you,” he grunted and pounded out his release. \n\n“How do you plan on making it up to me?” Donny asked in a teasing manner when Raph collapsed down on him. \n\nRaph kissed along Donny’s neck and his voice was muffled but clear enough to be understood, “I guess I’ll have to let you finish inside of me.”\n\nDonny’s body shuddered in anticipation, “Sounds fair.”\n\nSliding out from underneath Raph, Donny got everything he would need to properly prep Raph. He sat on the bed, facing Raph, and then got to work prepping him. While he stretched the tight muscles, Raph’s hand worked to maintain Donny’s erection. \n\nAs Donny moved between Raph’s legs, he had a goofy grin on his face that made Raph smile. Whatever discomfort, that was about to happen, would be worth it. All of Donny’s prep work paid off, and Raph felt no pain as he was breached. He wasn’t called a genius for nothing. \n\nThough Donny’s didn’t last long enough for Raph to climax, he did enjoy it. He knew that the day would come where they would both last longer. They just had to get though all the trial and error first and get to know the each other’s bodies. Raph looked forward to getting to know Donny in such an intimate way. \n\nThey kissed and fooled around a little more and Donny showed Raph a few more of his toys before they were both satisfied. Raph kissed the tip of Donny’s nose as they snuggled up against each other. “I have some good news,” Raph said in a soft voice. \n\n“What’s that?” Donny nuzzled against Raph then let out a deep, satisfied sigh. His finger traced down a few of the deeper scars on Raph’s plastron.\n\nRaph’s hand trailed down the sensitive skin on Don’s exposed back. The protective plates, covering the connectors on the spine, shifted slightly in reaction to the touch. “On my way here, I passed Leo’s room and I could hear Mikey in there with him.” Raph answered with a grin. \n\n“That is good news,” Donny smiled back, shivering slightly. “I think, knowing Leo’s problems will help Mikey heal and, out of all of us, Mikey is the best one to help Leo.”\n\n“I’m glad I got stuck with you,” Raph placed his forehead against Donny’s. \n\n“Me too,” Donny’s voice was just above a whisper. \n\nRaph felt himself start to slip into slumber but Donny shook him awake. “We better get our shells back on.”\n\n“Right,” Raph grunted as he sat up, his mind still a little fuzzy. “Which one’s mine?”\n\n“Left,” Donny yawned. \n\nRaph got up off the bed and picked up the shell on the left, putting it on in one fluid movement. Donny’s eyes widened as he watched. “The left from the position on the bed, not facing it!” He reached out to stop Raph but it was too late. \n\nThe connectors took hold and the pain that followed had Raph’s legs going numb. \n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Mikey couldn’t sleep.

Leo tensed, “I forgot those where in there.”

“I’m glad my pictures helped you,” Mikey said in a small voice. “And…, it was nice to learn that you weren’t mad at me for drawing you… doing… uh… stuff with me.”

Leo shook his head, “What got me the most were all the pictures you drew of yourself, sad, and realizing that you have been drawing them for years. You were always so jovial. ”

“I don’t know what I can do to quell those doubts,” Leo’s hand, once again, hovered over Mikey. “I have doubts too, and fears.”

“How do you plan on making it up to me?” Donny asked in a teasing manner when Raph collapsed down on him.  

Raph kissed along Donny’s neck and his voice was muffled but clear enough to be understood, “I guess I’ll have to let you finish inside of me.”

Raph’s hand trailed down the sensitive skin on Don’s exposed back. The protective plates, covering the connectors on the spine, shifted slightly in reaction to the touch. “On my way here, I passed Leo’s room and I could hear Mikey in there with him.” Raph answered with a grin.

“That is good news,” Donny smiled back, shivering slightly. “I think, knowing Leo’s problems will help Mikey heal and, out of all of us, Mikey is the best one to help Leo.”

“I’m glad I got stuck with you,” Raph placed his forehead against Donny’s.

“Me too,” Donny’s voice was just above a whisper.

Raph felt himself start to slip into slumber but Donny shook him awake. “We better get our shells back on.”

“Right,” Raph grunted as he sat up, his mind still a little fuzzy. “Which one’s mine?”

“Left,” Donny yawned.

Raph got up off the bed and picked up the shell on the left, putting it on in one fluid movement. Donny’s eyes widened as he watched. “The left from the position on the bed, not facing it!” He reached out to stop Raph but it was too late.

The connectors took hold and the pain that followed had Raph’s legs going numb.
