  "writing": "\tA loud thud from Don’s lab caught Raph’s attention as he was walking past.  The door was not quite shut, so Raph peeked inside to make sure the genius hadn’t blown himself up.\n\n\tPapers were scattered all over the floor along with several of Don’s precious books.  Don was sitting in his chair, arms on his legs with his hands dangling between them, and his head down.\n\n\tRaph wasn’t the most adept at reading the nuances of body language, but he knew Donatello.\n\n\tStepping inside, he silently closed the door and said, “Hey Don.  What’s up bro’?”\n\n\tDon glanced up, his face a picture of abject misery.  That look had Raph moving across the room in a split second.  He yanked a stool over in front of Don and sat down.\n\n\tWhen Don didn’t answer, Raph placed a finger under his chin and tilted Don’s head up enough so that their eyes could meet.\n\n\t“Talk ta me, Donny.  Ya’ know I won’t leave until ya’ do,” Raph said softly.\n\n\tDon sighed.  “I blew it.”  Three words out, and then he closed his mouth again.\n\n\t“Blew what?” Raph asked patiently.\n\n\tRaph could see that his brother was gravely upset about something.  Not the kind of agitation from some failed experiment, but a truly deeper emotion.  Don rarely became depressed; it wasn’t his nature to react emotionally to very many things.  Whatever had gotten to him this time was serious.\n\n\tSerious enough that Raph was going to have to pull it out of him piece by piece just to get to the root of the problem.\n\n\t“I should have thought this through better,” Don said, trying to lift his chin away from Raph’s finger.\n\n\tRaph curled the tip of his finger to hold Don’s head still.  Don countered by shifting his eyes away from his brother’s.\n\n\t“Look at me, Don,” Raph said gently.  “I want ta help, even if it’s some genius level thing I probably won’t understand, I can still be a good sounding board.  Isn’t that what we agreed?  None of us doing things alone?”\n\n\t“It’s Mikey,” Don finally blurted out.\n\n\t“What about Mikey?” Raph wanted to know, holding back the urge to say something sarcastic about their younger brother.\n\n\t“I tried talking to him again,” Don said.  He let out a long, forlorn sigh.  “I got pretty much the same results.”\n\n\tRaph snorted.  “So big deal.  Mikey ain’t as open as we’d like him ta be.  Ya’ said yourself maybe he just ain’t interested in sex.”\n\n\t“You don’t understand,” Don said, his voice almost plaintive.\n\n\tWrenching his chin away from Raph’s finger, Don sat back and rubbed his hand across his mouth.  Raph settled his palms on Don’s knees and leaned towards him.\n\n\t“What don’t I understand?  Explain it ta me so I will, Donny.  Ya’ know I don’t like seeing ya’ this upset,” Raph urged.\n\n\t“What if we’re wrong?  He’s so adamant about the idea that what we are doing is repulsive that I’m beginning to think we shouldn’t have started this in the first place,” Don said.\n\n\tRaph went still and cold inside.  With carefully measured, precise words, he said, “Tell me exactly what you’re talkin’ about, Don.  Shouldn’t have started what?  This contest for Mikey?”\n\n\tDon’s eyes focused solidly on Raph’s.  “Not that.  Us.  The  . . . incest.  I’ve been looking at everything I can find on the subject; arguments about the morality, social taboos, the need for dominance by one sibling over the other, inequalities in the power struggle and I can’t  . . . I can’t find anything that supports the choice we made.”\n\n\tRaph reached a hand out towards Don’s face and his brother jerked away from him, eyes wide.\n\n\t“Dammit Don!  Just ‘cause Mikey ain’t interested in sex doesn’t mean that our loving each other is wrong.  All that shit you been reading is from the human world and that’s the difference.  [i]We [/i]made a choice, all of us.  Nobody forced anybody else ta do something they didn’t want ta do.  Nobody is forcing Mikey either,” Raph said emphatically.\n\n\t“But that’s just it, Raph.”  Don was vehement.  “Maybe he’s so uncomfortable with the concept because our having sex is making him [i]feel [/i]like he’s being forced to do this with us.  That would be wrong, that would make this thing we have wrong.”\n\n\t“It ain’t wrong,” Raph growled.  “I ain’t ever felt so complete in my whole life, Donny.  I mean, sex with Leo is thrilling and all, but it ain’t like when I’m with ya’.  Mikey just doesn’t understand that part of it yet.”\n\n\tStanding up quickly, Raph’s eyes narrowed and he glanced towards the door.  Don saw the determined expression that settled on his brother’s face and jumped up from his chair.\n\n\t“Raph  . . . .”\n\n\tRaph looked back at Don and his face softened.  “Don’t worry, I ain’t gonna do anything crazy.”\n\n\tDon shook his head, unconvinced.  “I shouldn’t have said anything.  I should have simply ended this with you and Leo and let it fade like any other phase we’ve gone through.”\n\n\t“This ain’t a phase, Don, this is who we are.  I ain’t gonna let Mikey guilt trip ya’ into thinking otherwise, especially when that little mutt don’t know what he’s talking about.”\n\n\tHe reached for Don’s arms, but Don stepped back quickly, nearly tripping on the chair that was behind him.\n\n\t“Please don’t, Raph,” Don murmured, his voice cracking just a bit.\n\n\t“This is why we should’ve included Mikey ta start with,” Raph said bitterly.  “I don’t think he’s nearly so innocent as he pretends ta be.  He knew exactly what buttons ta push ta mess with your head, didn’t he?”\n\n\t“It’s not that,” Don protested.  “He’s . . . Mikey is just making me think about this situation a little more.”\n\n\t“Thinking about something ain’t the same as threatening to end what we’ve got.  Thinking about something don’t include ya’ pulling away from me like my touch is acid ta your skin,” Raph said bitterly.\n\n\t“I’m not,” Don said.  “I think maybe taking a breather, putting some space between the three of us would give us a better perspective . . . .”\n\n\tRaph’s lunge took him by surprise.  Gripping Don’s biceps tightly, Raph pulled Don up against his plastron and pinned him in place with a fiery stare.\n\n\t“Ya’ think I’m ignorant, Donny?  I know what ‘taking a breather’ is code for.  There ain’t no way I’m going back to the lonely existence of wanting ya’ and banging my head against a wall ‘cause I can’t be with ya’.  You’re special ta me; ya’ always have been.”\n\n\tHe pressed his mouth to Don’s.  Raph could feel the resistance against his lips, the normally pliant and giving softness unyielding.  Releasing his hold on one of Don’s arms, Raph snaked it around Don’s shoulder and grasped the back of his brother’s head.\n\n\tHolding Don firmly in place, Raph increased the pressure of his lips against Don’s.  Raph’s eyes were open and staring into the chocolate orbs that he loved so much, waiting.\n\n\tThen Don’s eyes flickered, the dark brown color deepening just as his eyes slid shut and his mouth opened.\n\n\tRaph’s tongue entered Don’s sweet mouth and met his brother’s.  They danced together in a coordinated rhythm, letting time slip past as they enjoyed each other.\n\n\tThe kiss broke by mutual consent, though Don’s eyes remained closed.  Raph could tell his brother was still racked by doubts; but at least Don wasn’t trying to distance himself from Raph’s embrace.\n\n\tFor now.  Let the situation with Michelangelo continue to fester and Don would be questioning things again.\n\n\t“If ya’ wanna give up on trying ta be with Mikey, I won’t hold that against ya’,” Raph whispered, his mouth hovering an inch above Don’s.  “Me, I think Mikey needs ta have his eyes opened a little.  Dodging and insulting us has worked for him so far, but that’s done.  He needs ta understand that what we have together, what the four of us could have together, is special.”\n\n\tReleasing Don suddenly, Raph strode towards the door.  Don’s voice made him pause.\n\n\t“Raph!  Wait, please.

I can&rsquo;t find anything that supports the choice we made.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRaph reached a hand out towards Don&rsquo;s face and his brother jerked away from him, eyes wide.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Dammit Don!&nbsp;&nbsp;Just &lsquo;cause Mikey ain&rsquo;t interested in sex doesn&rsquo;t mean that our loving each other is wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp;All that shit you been reading is from the human world and that&rsquo;s the difference.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>We </em>made a choice, all of us.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nobody forced anybody else ta do something they didn&rsquo;t want ta do.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nobody is forcing Mikey either,&rdquo; Raph said emphatically.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;But that&rsquo;s just it, Raph.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don was vehement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Maybe he&rsquo;s so uncomfortable with the concept because our having sex is making him <em>feel </em>like he&rsquo;s being forced to do this with us.&nbsp;&nbsp;That would be wrong, that would make this thing we have wrong.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;It ain&rsquo;t wrong,&rdquo; Raph growled.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I ain&rsquo;t ever felt so complete in my whole life, Donny.&nbsp;&nbsp;I mean, sex with Leo is thrilling and all, but it ain&rsquo;t like when I&rsquo;m with ya&rsquo;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mikey just doesn&rsquo;t understand that part of it yet.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tStanding up quickly, Raph&rsquo;s eyes narrowed and he glanced towards the door.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don saw the determined expression that settled on his brother&rsquo;s face and jumped up from his chair.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Raph&nbsp;&nbsp;. . . .&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRaph looked back at Don and his face softened.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, I ain&rsquo;t gonna do anything crazy.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tDon shook his head, unconvinced.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I shouldn&rsquo;t have said anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;I should have simply ended this with you and Leo and let it fade like any other phase we&rsquo;ve gone through.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;This ain&rsquo;t a phase, Don, this is who we are.&nbsp;&nbsp;I ain&rsquo;t gonna let Mikey guilt trip ya&rsquo; into thinking otherwise, especially when that little mutt don&rsquo;t know what he&rsquo;s talking about.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tHe reached for Don&rsquo;s arms, but Don stepped back quickly, nearly tripping on the chair that was behind him.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Please don&rsquo;t, Raph,&rdquo; Don murmured, his voice cracking just a bit.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;This is why we should&rsquo;ve included Mikey ta start with,&rdquo; Raph said bitterly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think he&rsquo;s nearly so innocent as he pretends ta be.&nbsp;&nbsp;He knew exactly what buttons ta push ta mess with your head, didn&rsquo;t he?&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not that,&rdquo; Don protested.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He&rsquo;s . . . Mikey is just making me think about this situation a little more.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Thinking about something ain&rsquo;t the same as threatening to end what we&rsquo;ve got.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thinking about something don&rsquo;t include ya&rsquo; pulling away from me like my touch is acid ta your skin,&rdquo; Raph said bitterly.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not,&rdquo; Don said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I think maybe taking a breather, putting some space between the three of us would give us a better perspective . . . .&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRaph&rsquo;s lunge took him by surprise.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gripping Don&rsquo;s biceps tightly, Raph pulled Don up against his plastron and pinned him in place with a fiery stare.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; think I&rsquo;m ignorant, Donny?&nbsp;&nbsp;I know what &lsquo;taking a breather&rsquo; is code for.&nbsp;&nbsp;There ain&rsquo;t no way I&rsquo;m going back to the lonely existence of wanting ya&rsquo; and banging my head against a wall &lsquo;cause I can&rsquo;t be with ya&rsquo;.&nbsp;&nbsp;You&rsquo;re special ta me; ya&rsquo; always have been.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tHe pressed his mouth to Don&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph could feel the resistance against his lips, the normally pliant and giving softness unyielding.&nbsp;&nbsp;Releasing his hold on one of Don&rsquo;s arms, Raph snaked it around Don&rsquo;s shoulder and grasped the back of his brother&rsquo;s head.<br /><br />\tHolding Don firmly in place, Raph increased the pressure of his lips against Don&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph&rsquo;s eyes were open and staring into the chocolate orbs that he loved so much, waiting.<br /><br />\tThen Don&rsquo;s eyes flickered, the dark brown color deepening just as his eyes slid shut and his mouth opened.<br /><br />\tRaph&rsquo;s tongue entered Don&rsquo;s sweet mouth and met his brother&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;They danced together in a coordinated rhythm, letting time slip past as they enjoyed each other.<br /><br />\tThe kiss broke by mutual consent, though Don&rsquo;s eyes remained closed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph could tell his brother was still racked by doubts; but at least Don wasn&rsquo;t trying to distance himself from Raph&rsquo;s embrace.<br /><br />\tFor now.&nbsp;&nbsp;Let the situation with Michelangelo continue to fester and Don would be questioning things again.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;If ya&rsquo; wanna give up on trying ta be with Mikey, I won&rsquo;t hold that against ya&rsquo;,&rdquo; Raph whispered, his mouth hovering an inch above Don&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Me, I think Mikey needs ta have his eyes opened a little.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dodging and insulting us has worked for him so far, but that&rsquo;s done.&nbsp;&nbsp;He needs ta understand that what we have together, what the four of us could have together, is special.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tReleasing Don suddenly, Raph strode towards the door.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don&rsquo;s voice made him pause.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Raph!&nbsp;&nbsp;Wait, please.&nbsp;&nbsp;We should talk about this,&rdquo; Don insisted.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;What are you going to do?&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRaph&rsquo;s lip curved up, a gleam of intent shining in his golden eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna go clarify a few things for Mikey.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tBefore Don could stop him, Raph was gone.<br /><br />TBC&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;&hellip;.<br /></span>",
