Leonardo was getting undressed to go into the shower to clean up after training. They had trained hard that day in weaponless hand-to- hand combat. He turned on the water and set up his towel so it was close and he could wrap it around his waist when he got out of the shower.  He put his gear in his bedroom so it wouldn’t get water damage since it is mostly leather. He returned to the bathroom and found that Raphael was in there also preparing for a shower. 
“Hey, what are you doing in here? I’m going to shower.” Leo said. 
“I thought we were supposed to pair up when we were showering cause of our shells needing scrubbing.” Raphael said. 
“Right. I just wanted to get all of the sweat off from training. I don’t need my shell scrubbed.” Leo said as he walked to the shower and got in. Raphael took note of this but he had other things on his mind. He waited a bit and then slipped into the shower behind Leo. 
“What are you doing, Raph?” Leo asks.
“You don’t want anything growing on your shell, now do you?” Raph asks as he gets the brush that they use to scrub on the rough scutes of their carapaces. 
“No, I don’t. Raphael, what are you trying to do?” Leo asks as he turns around to face his younger brother. 
“Admit it, Fearless, you could cut the sexual tension in the dojo with your katana if you wanted to.” Raph said as he stepped closer to his older brother and let the warm water beat down on them. 
“I don’t know what you mean.” Leo said as he backed up until his shell hit the wall. Raphael blocked him on both sides. Leo was now trapped.
“You like me. You have been keeping it hidden for years ever since we were kids. Remember that one time when we were out getting some supplies for Donnie and you confessed to me about how you like both girls and boys?” Raphael reminded him.
“Raph. We were kids then. I’ve grown up. I only like girls now.” Leo retorted. Raphael bit his neck which made him groan in pleasure. Raphael slid a hand under one of Leo’s toned legs and wrapped it around his shell. Leo automatically wrapped the other leg around his shell and pulled him close with the strength that he had developed over the years of long and hard training. 
“So, do you like both or did you switch to only guys after what Karai did to you?” Raph asks.
“I like both. I won’t close my mind to all girls just yet.” Leo said. 
“Sounds good to me. Still want me to scrub your shell or not?” Raph asks. 
“If you let me down; you may.” Leo said. Raphael let him unwrap his legs from his shell and stand up on his own. Leonardo then turned with his shell facing Raph. He took the brush and slowly yet firmly began to scrub his shell. Leo rocked with the hard movement of the brush as it removed the dirt and germs from the scutes on his shell.  Raphael scrubbed all of Leo’s carapace and turned him around. 
“I can do the front.” Leo said. 
“I know you can. Just trust me for once?” Raphael asks.
“Fine.” He responded. Raphael started scrubbing at the top of his plastron and worked his way down; pausing for a moment at his stomach to place a hand on it. 
“Don’t you ever wish that your stomach was softer?” Raph asks. 
“Raph. First you ask me about my sexuality and now you want to know if I want to gain weight for you.” 
“Just answer the question, Leo.” 
“Deep down; If we weren’t training every day because Splinter makes us; yes, I’d think that I would’ve gained some weight by now.”
“Maybe we can persuade him. We do know a certain enchantress that can give you a reason to skip out on training.” 
“I won’t have my body be changed that way so we can be together.” Leo said. 
“Ok. Want to continue this conversation in my room?” Raph suggested.
“Sure.” Leo said. He turned off the water and stepped out of the shower and wrapped his towel around his waist. Raphael came up behind Leo and wrapped his arms around Leo’s waist. 
“You know; if Splinter is alright with you gaining weight, we might have to give you a head start for winter.” Raph said.
“Sounds like a plan.” Leo said. 


The end?
