", "writing": "\tMikey lost track of Leo. After the encounter with Raph in the dojo, Mikey had been confused and in need of Leo’s soothing presence.\n\n\tLooking towards Master Splinter’s room first, Mikey saw that the shoji was open and the room empty. He heard his Father’s voice coming from Don’s lab and headed in that direction.\n\n\tMaster Splinter and Don were discussing the new security enhancements that the genius turtle was working on, but that talk didn’t include Leo. The eldest brother was nowhere to be found.\n\n\t“Has anyone seen Leo?” Mikey asked.\n\n\tThe pair glanced at him, both shaking their heads before going back to their discussion.\n\n\tMikey stood in the doorway to Don’s lab, his mind a thousand miles away as his Father and brother’s voices washed over him.\n\n\t“ . . . happy to assist you,” Master Splinter said.\n\n\t“Mikey, that would be wonderful. It will go so much faster with another pair of hands,” Don told him.\n\n\t“Huh?” Mikey asked, realizing that they were addressing him.\n\n\t“Earth to Mikey,” Don teased. “Weren’t you listening? I have some security equipment that needs to be installed and Master Splinter volunteered your services.”\n\n\t“Oh,” Mikey said and then shrugged. “Sure. Whatever you need.”\n\n\t“Okay, where’s the real Michelangelo and what have you done to him?” Don asked jokingly.\n\n\tMikey laughed but his mind wasn’t really there. He’d been thinking about how Raph had just kissed him. It wasn’t much beyond their lips touching, but it was still a kiss. His first kiss. Mikey had been standing in Don’s lab wishing his first kiss could have belonged to Leo.\n\n\tHe was still thinking about that in fact, although his Father was looking at him strangely and Donny’s eyes had lit up. Just a couple of days ago the thought of kissing one of his brothers would have made him puke. A couple of days ago he would have punched Raph’s lights out for even [i]trying [/i]to kiss him.\n\n\tNow all he could think about was how nice Leo’s mouth was. Mikey was even wondering how his oldest brother tasted.\n\n\t“Do you feel well, Michelangelo?” Master Splinter asked. He lifted his head and his nose twitched. “Your scent is off, are you ill?”\n\n\tDon jumped up from his seat and grabbed a box full of electronics, rushing towards the door to shove it into Mikey’s hands. He then snatched up his tool kit and another equipment laden box before nudging Mikey out of the lab with his hip.\n\n\t“Mikey’s a little dirtier than normal from our practice session sensei,” Don said quickly. “He chose to traverse the maze on his stomach rather than his feet.”\n\n\tFinally snapping out of his stupor, Mikey said, “Sorry sensei. I was helping Raph move some stuff around and never got a chance to shower. I’ll do it after I help Don with his gizmos.”\n\n\t“That would be wise my son. Good hygiene is essential to good health,” Master Splinter said.\n\n\tRushing to the elevator with Don, Mikey mumbled, “I feel like I’m four.”\n\n\tOnce they were inside and the doors had closed, Don stared at him. Mikey was looking down at the things in the box he was carrying, but Don’s eyes brought his head up and around.\n\n\t“What?” Mikey asked.\n\n\t“I can smell it too,” Don said with a slight smile.\n\n\tMikey scowled. “Rub it in. I’m dirty and sweaty from helping Raph lug that ginormous weight machine around and . . . .”\n\n\t“That isn’t what I’m referring to,” Don interrupted. “You’re sexually aroused. Didn’t you know our scent changes when that happens?”\n\n\tMikey blinked and shook his head. “Is that why you guys smell different sometimes?”\n\n\tDon laughed lightly. “Yes. It probably isn’t noticeable to humans, but turtles have an excellent sense of smell. And Master Splinter’s nose is unequaled in its ability to pick up the unusual. Good thing for us he doesn’t know what that deeper musky scent denotes.”\n\n\t“Oh shell, have I been giving this scent off all morning?” Mikey asked. “Crap, then that explains why . . . .” he stopped suddenly.\n\n\t“Why what, Mikey?” Don asked. When Mikey didn’t say anything, Don gave him a knowing look. “Did something happen with Raph while you were helping him?”\n\n\t“M . . . maybe,” Mikey stammered as the elevator reached the garage.\n\n\tThe door opened but Don made no effort to exit. “Raph approached you again, didn’t he?”\n\n\tMikey’s eyes were wide but for once he didn’t know what to say. Don was in love with Raph and Mikey did not want Donatello pissed off at him.\n\n\tDon set the tool kit and his box in the open door so that the elevator wouldn’t descend and then he approached his brother. Mikey held onto his box tightly, using it as a shield between Don and himself.\n\n\t“Mikey,” Don said in a low, soothing voice. He lifted a hand to cup Mikey’s cheek. “This is why Raph, Leo and I are all together. Sharing one another prevents us from feeling jealousy or possessiveness.”\n\n\t“He k . . . kissed me,” Mikey blurted out. “I mean, he s . . . sorta kissed me. I ran away.”\n\n\t“And immediately began searching for Leo,” Don said. “Something has changed for you hasn’t it, Mikey?”\n\n\t“I don’t know,” Mikey responded, rallying his emotions and reverting to his normal good humor. “Come on and show me what needs to be done.”\n\n\tDon stayed where he was, his thumb stroking Mikey’s cheek. “Can I give you one piece of advice first?”\n\n\tMikey found himself staring at Don’s mouth again, just as he had done in practice. He nodded and managed to bring his eyes up so that he could look into Don’s dark orbs. Why hadn’t he ever noticed how much tender care Don could manage to convey with just his eyes?\n\n\t“When your heart talks to you, take the time to listen to it,” Don told him.\n\n\t“Okay,” Mikey said in a whisper.\n\n\tDon smiled softly and pulled his hand away, turning to retrieve the objects he’d set down. Mikey followed him in something akin to a fog, his cheek where Don had touched him tingling much the way his lips had when Raph had kissed him.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n\tIt had taken several hours for Leo to acquire what he needed from April. She was mildly curious because it wasn’t the sort of request she normally got from Leo, but her store had been busy so she didn’t have time to wonder about it for long.\n\n\tPulling up her online account, April had handed her laptop over to Leo and he’d searched for what he wanted, reserving things as he ran across them. He waited in her basement until she closed up shop and then went to pick up his order, bringing it back to him in a large plastic sack.\n\n\tBy that time she was too tired to be curious and waved her good-bye as he disappeared into the tunnel beneath her home. April was just thankful that at least this time the request for help wasn’t a life or death situation.\n\n\tLeo hurried to get back to the lair by dinnertime. He had told Master Splinter that he was going straight to April’s to pick up something for Mikey and that he would be back before their evening meal. Having his Father begin to worry about him was not how Leonardo wanted this particular night to begin.\n\n\tAs he rounded a corner near the lair he immediately sensed a presence and stopped, sliding back into the shadows quickly.\n\n\tA deep, bass chuckle stayed his hand just as Leo was reaching for his katana. He watched Raph move out from his own shadowed hiding spot, his arms hanging at his sides, his thumbs riding his hips in a cocky manner.\n\n\t“Ya’ go off on a shopping spree all by yourself, Leo?” Raph asked. “Don’t ya’ usually give me shit for doing that exact same thing?”\n\n\tLeo moved back into the tunnel. “I told Master Splinter where I was going and that I wouldn’t go topside. Were you looking for me for a particular reason?”\n\n\t“Yeah,” Raph said. “I want ta have a little conversation about Mikey.”\n\n\tWalking towards his brother, Leo tried to read Raph’s facial expression in an attempt to glean some clue as to his intent. Raph’s mouth was turned up into a smug smile, his gold eyes shining as though he was holding a straight flush.\n\n\tLeo’s mouth went dry. Right then he began to wonder if he should have left the lair at all since Mikey was now both open and vulnerable.\n\n\t“I wish I had a mirror so ya’ could take a look at your face,” Raph said with a laugh. “It’s priceless. You’re wondering what happened while ya’ were gone aren’t ya’?”\n\n\t“Something happened?” Leo asked, attempting to sound unconcerned.\n\n\tRaph cocked his head to the side and studied Leo, who was now carefully hiding his feelings. He hadn’t been fast enough.\n\n\t“This ain’t just a competition ta see who can get ta Mikey first with ya’, is it Leo? Don’t bother ta deny it,” Raph said quickly before Leo could speak. “I’ve been watchin’ ya’ working with him the last couple months. Mikey flips a switch on for ya’ doesn’t he? Somethin’ special like what Don does for me.”\n\n\t“Do you want that information so you can play games with me?” Leo asked suspiciously.\n\n\t“No,” Raph said flatly. “That ain’t why we decided ta be together the way that we are. That part of our lives is off limits ta petty jealousy and manipulation. If we don’t keep ta that pact then we can’t have this anymore. Ya’ reminded me of that yourself when I wanted to smack Mikey for upsetting Donny.”\n\n\t“I have always found Mikey to be very . . . special,” Leo admitted. “Our pact holds, I won’t resort to jealousy or possessiveness.”\n\n\t“I’m glad ta hear that,” Raph told him. “While ya’ were gone, Mikey helped me move some stuff down from the garage and then he asked me about feelings. He wanted ta know what it was like ta be in love.”\n\n\t Raph gave out a short laugh. “I never thought I’d hear him ask that and I especially didn’t expect ta ever have him ask me. I thought maybe he was givin’ me a green light, so I tried ta kiss him.”\n\n\tHe didn’t say that he’d actually pressed his mouth to Mikey’s because it hadn’t been much more than that. Raph wasn’t trying to upset Leo nor was he bragging; he did however, want to gauge Leo’s feelings for their youngest brother.\n\n\tLeo swallowed the growl that threatened to rise from his throat. “There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have,” Leo managed to say in a fairly even tone.\n\n\tA quick gleam flashed in Raph’s eyes. “Where Mikey’s concerned, ya’ ain’t much good at hiding your feelings, Leo. Ya’ might wanna work on that.”\n\n\t“The same way you hide your feelings about Donny?” Leo asked.\n\n\t“I ain’t gotta hide my feelings about him anymore, ‘cept around Master Splinter,” Raph said. “I’m out here ‘cause I wanted ta tell ya’ something before ya’ went back into the lair. The first thing was that Mikey and I talked and I tried ta kiss him. The second thing is he pulled away from me and took off looking for ya’.”\n\n\tRaph stopped in order to let his words sink in. Leo was staring at him, but his eyes were unseeing as he processed what Raph had just said.\n\n\t“He wanted me?” Leo asked, not really aware of the double meaning in his words.\n\n\tRaph was. “He wants ya’,” he said. “I yield bro’. That’s one of the other reasons I’m out here. I know when I’m licked. Ya’ got ta him and he wants ta be with ya’. I don’t know if he understands all of the ramifications, but I’m guessing ya’ ain’t through working on him yet.”\n\n\t“You’re just giving up on the chase?” Leo asked suspiciously.\n\n\tRaph shrugged and said, “Sure. This ain’t like our other challenges, bro’. If I keep screwing around trying ta weasel back into Mikey’s good graces somebody could get hurt and I don’t play like that. If he’s willing ta be with us too at some point, I know you’ll share ‘cause that’s how we do things. Besides,” he added with a grin, “you’re in love with the little shit and ya’ have been for some time.”\n\n\tIt was Leo’s turn to laugh. “Is that why you initiated this challenge, so that you could push me to work on Mikey and leave you free to find out how Don really felt about you?”\n\n\tRaph frowned before grinning widely. “I knew you’d figure it out sooner or later. I was hoping it would be after Don and I got a chance ta open up ta each other. It worked out okay for me so I’m feeling magnanimous enough ta want this ta work out for Mikey and ya’.”\n\n\t“Never mind the fact that Mikey is out of your league?” Leo couldn’t help but say. “I knew that first night when the three of us talked about this that you and Don didn’t have a chance with him.”\n\n\t“Keep it up and I’ll change my mind,” Raph threatened, though not very seriously. “Let’s say I think Mikey’s more suited to your personality. I wouldn’t have put it past him ta follow me out hear and listen ta our conversation, except that I know Master Splinter sent him off ta help Don.”\n\n\t“I do not listen to private conversations,” Leo said haughtily.\n\n\tRaph was laughing again. “He does and ya’ know he does. You’re probably gonna turn him into an information gathering spy. I’ll have ta counter by havin’ Donny set up surveillance equipment.”\n\n\tLeo was chuckling along with him at the absurdity. “I think Don could be a lot more dangerous in that department that Mikey. Could you imagine going to the bathroom and lifting the lid to the commode . . . .”\n\n\t“And seeing a camera looking back at ya’?” Raph finished, nearly falling over with hysterical laughter.\n\n\tFor several minutes they were doubled over laughing, neither able to stop. Every time one would glance at the other, the laughter started again.\n\n\tIt finally started to taper off and they were left trying to catch their breath. Raph rarely got to see Leo laugh so hard and the joy of that moment got to him.\n\n\tStepping close to his brother, Raph twisted one of his hands in Leo’s mask tails, holding his brother in place as he ravished Leo’s mouth. Leo offered no resistance, allowing his spontaneous brother to do as he pleased.\n\n\tWhen Raph pulled away he was wearing his signature cocky grin.\n\n\t“Ya’ know that Mikey might be more of a challenge than ya’ think, don’t ya’ Leo?” Raph questioned in a husky whisper, his face inches from his brother’s. “He might not be willin’ ta bottom for ya’ like the rest of us do. What are ya’ gonna do if he wants your virgin ass? Ya’ gonna give it up?”\n\n\t“Wishful thinking, Raph?” Leo asked.\n\n\t“Maybe I figured out that ya’ were saving yourself for a reason,” Raph said. “Maybe I started this ‘cause I knew the only way I’d get a shot at fuckin’ ya’ was ta let Mikey take ya’ first.”\n\n\t“You came up with an idea that has quite a reach, bro’,” Leo said. “It helped you discover Don’s true feelings, pulls Mikey into our intimacy and, you hope, loosens me up as well. I always knew you were capable of long range planning.”\n\n\t“Laugh at me all ya’ want,” Raph murmured smugly. “I’ll have the last laugh. By the way, ya’ ain’t even made it ta first base with him, so I wouldn’t start getting too overconfident just yet.”\n\n\tLeo stepped back, the bag he was holding crackling with his movement. Raph released the hold he had on Leo’s mask and glanced at the bag.\n\n\t“You forget that I always have a plan,” Leo said.\n\n\tBefore he could stop Raph, his brother snatched the bag from Leo’s hand and peeked inside. The look of puzzled curiosity he gave Leo was eloquent.\n\n\t“I’m glad I’m not sitting through these with him,” Raph finally said. Reaching inside he snagged two of the half dozen DVD’s Leo had rented through April.\n\n\t“’The Ring’,” Raph read the titles. “’The Grudge’. Ya’ know these are liable ta give him nightmares don’t ya’?”\n\n\tLeo said nothing, merely holding his hand out. Raph slowly replaced the movies and handed the bag back to his brother.\n\n\t“He’ll eat this shit up,” Raph acknowledged. “Mikey has always loved a good scary movie. He used ta always have nightmares after watching one too. That hasn’t happened in a long time though, so if you’re planning on him waking up screaming for ya’ like he did when he was a kid, you’re liable ta have a long, lonely night.”\n\n\t“Not only do I always have a plan A, I also make sure to have a plan B, C and D,” Leo said softly.\n\n\tRaph snorted, his humor evident. “In other words, Mikey’s having a nightmare tonight whether he really has one or not.”\n\n\tLeo watched him carefully as he asked, “What are your plans for the night?”\n\n\tRaph wore his most innocent expression. “Me? I think Don was planning on having me help him with some ‘experiments’ in his lab tonight. Neither of us are gonna be able ta hear a thing.”\n\n\tLeo flashed his brother another rare smile. Heart beating fast, Raph smiled in return. Tonight was going to be special; a night that would change all of their lives for the better. He knew Leo would make sure of that.\n\nTBC………………..\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tMikey lost track of Leo.  After the encounter with Raph in the dojo, Mikey had been confused and in need of Leo’s soothing presence.

\tMikey laughed but his mind wasn’t really there.  He’d been thinking about how Raph had just kissed him.  It wasn’t much beyond their lips touching, but it was still a kiss.  His first kiss.  Mikey had been standing in Don’s lab wishing his first kiss could have belonged to Leo.

\tHe was still thinking about that in fact, although his Father was looking at him strangely and Donny’s eyes had lit up.  Just a couple of days ago the thought of kissing one of his brothers would have made him puke.  A couple of days ago he would have punched Raph’s lights out for even trying to kiss him.

\tNow all he could think about was how nice Leo’s mouth was.  Mikey was even wondering how his oldest brother tasted.

\t“Do you feel well, Michelangelo?” Master Splinter asked.  He lifted his head and his nose twitched.  “Your scent is off, are you ill?”

\tDon jumped up from his seat and grabbed a box full of electronics, rushing towards the door to shove it into Mikey’s hands.  He then snatched up his tool kit and another equipment laden box before nudging Mikey out of the lab with his hip.

\t“Mikey’s a little dirtier than normal from our practice session sensei,” Don said quickly.  “He chose to traverse the maze on his stomach rather than his feet.”

\tFinally snapping out of his stupor, Mikey said, “Sorry sensei.  I was helping Raph move some stuff around and never got a chance to shower.  I’ll do it after I help Don with his gizmos.”

\t“That would be wise my son.  Good hygiene is essential to good health,” Master Splinter said.

\tRushing to the elevator with Don, Mikey mumbled, “I feel like I’m four.”

\tOnce they were inside and the doors had closed, Don stared at him.  Mikey was looking down at the things in the box he was carrying, but Don’s eyes brought his head up and around.

\t“What?” Mikey asked.

\t“I can smell it too,” Don said with a slight smile.

\tMikey scowled.  “Rub it in.  I’m dirty and sweaty from helping Raph lug that ginormous weight machine around and . . . .”

\t“That isn’t what I’m referring to,” Don interrupted.  “You’re sexually aroused.  Didn’t you know our scent changes when that happens?”

\tMikey blinked and shook his head.  “Is that why you guys smell different sometimes?”

\tDon laughed lightly.  “Yes.  It probably isn’t noticeable to humans, but turtles have an excellent sense of smell.  And Master Splinter’s nose is unequaled in its ability to pick up the unusual.  Good thing for us he doesn’t know what that deeper musky scent denotes.”

\t“Oh shell, have I been giving this scent off all morning?” Mikey asked.  “Crap, then that explains why . . . .” he stopped suddenly.

\t“Why what, Mikey?” Don asked.  When Mikey didn’t say anything, Don gave him a knowing look.  “Did something happen with Raph while you were helping him?”

\t“M . . . maybe,” Mikey stammered as the elevator reached the garage.

\tThe door opened but Don made no effort to exit.  “Raph approached you again, didn’t he?”

\tMikey’s eyes were wide but for once he didn’t know what to say.  Don was in love with Raph and Mikey did not want Donatello pissed off at him.

\tDon set the tool kit and his box in the open door so that the elevator wouldn’t descend and then he approached his brother.  Mikey held onto his box tightly, using it as a shield between Don and himself.

\t“Mikey,” Don said in a low, soothing voice.  He lifted a hand to cup Mikey’s cheek.  “This is why Raph, Leo and I are all together.  Sharing one another prevents us from feeling jealousy or possessiveness.”

\t“He k . . . kissed me,” Mikey blurted out.  “I mean, he s . . . sorta kissed me.  I ran away.”

\t“And immediately began searching for Leo,” Don said.  “Something has changed for you hasn’t it, Mikey?”

\t“I don’t know,” Mikey responded, rallying his emotions and reverting to his normal good humor.  “Come on and show me what needs to be done.”

\tDon stayed where he was, his thumb stroking Mikey’s cheek.  “Can I give you one piece of advice first?”

\tMikey found himself staring at Don’s mouth again, just as he had done in practice.  He nodded and managed to bring his eyes up so that he could look into Don’s dark orbs.  Why hadn’t he ever noticed how much tender care Don could manage to convey with just his eyes?

\t“When your heart talks to you, take the time to listen to it,” Don told him.

\t“Okay,” Mikey said in a whisper.

\tDon smiled softly and pulled his hand away, turning to retrieve the objects he’d set down.  Mikey followed him in something akin to a fog, his cheek where Don had touched him tingling much the way his lips had when Raph had kissed him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

\tIt had taken several hours for Leo to acquire what he needed from April.  She was mildly curious because it wasn’t the sort of request she normally got from Leo, but her store had been busy so she didn’t have time to wonder about it for long.

\tPulling up her online account, April had handed her laptop over to Leo and he’d searched for what he wanted, reserving things as he ran across them.  He waited in her basement until she closed up shop and then went to pick up his order, bringing it back to him in a large plastic sack.

\tBy that time she was too tired to be curious and waved her good-bye as he disappeared into the tunnel beneath her home.  April was just thankful that at least this time the request for help wasn’t a life or death situation.

\tLeo hurried to get back to the lair by dinnertime.  He had told Master Splinter that he was going straight to April’s to pick up something for Mikey and that he would be back before their evening meal.  Having his Father begin to worry about him was not how Leonardo wanted this particular night to begin.

\tAs he rounded a corner near the lair he immediately sensed a presence and stopped, sliding back into the shadows quickly.

\tA deep, bass chuckle stayed his hand just as Leo was reaching for his katana.  He watched Raph move out from his own shadowed hiding spot, his arms hanging at his sides, his thumbs riding his hips in a cocky manner.

\t“Ya’ go off on a shopping spree all by yourself, Leo?” Raph asked.  “Don’t ya’ usually give me shit for doing that exact same thing?”

\tLeo moved back into the tunnel.  “I told Master Splinter where I was going and that I wouldn’t go topside.  Were you looking for me for a particular reason?”

\t“Yeah,” Raph said.  “I want ta have a little conversation about Mikey.”

\tWalking towards his brother, Leo tried to read Raph’s facial expression in an attempt to glean some clue as to his intent.  Raph’s mouth was turned up into a smug smile, his gold eyes shining as though he was holding a straight flush.

\tLeo’s mouth went dry.  Right then he began to wonder if he should have left the lair at all since Mikey was now both open and vulnerable.

\t“I wish I had a mirror so ya’ could take a look at your face,” Raph said with a laugh.  “It’s priceless.  You’re wondering what happened while ya’ were gone aren’t ya’?”

\t“Something happened?” Leo asked, attempting to sound unconcerned.

\tRaph cocked his head to the side and studied Leo, who was now carefully hiding his feelings.  He hadn’t been fast enough.

\t“This ain’t just a competition ta see who can get ta Mikey first with ya’, is it Leo?  Don’t bother ta deny it,” Raph said quickly before Leo could speak.  “I’ve been watchin’ ya’ working with him the last couple months.  Mikey flips a switch on for ya’ doesn’t he?  Somethin’ special like what Don does for me.”

\t“Do you want that information so you can play games with me?” Leo asked suspiciously.

\t“No,” Raph said flatly.  “That ain’t why we decided ta be together the way that we are.  That part of our lives is off limits ta petty jealousy and  manipulation.  If we don’t keep ta that pact then we can’t have this anymore.  Ya’ reminded me of that yourself when I wanted to smack Mikey for upsetting Donny.”

\t“I have always found Mikey to be very  . . . special,” Leo admitted.  “Our pact holds, I won’t resort to jealousy or possessiveness.”

\t“I’m glad ta hear that,” Raph told him.  “While ya’ were gone, Mikey helped me move some stuff down from the garage and then he asked me about feelings.  He wanted ta know what it was like ta be in love.”

\t Raph gave out a short laugh.  “I never thought I’d hear him ask that and I especially didn’t expect ta ever have him ask me.  I thought maybe he was givin’ me a green light, so I tried ta kiss him.”

\tHe didn’t say that he’d actually pressed his mouth to Mikey’s because it hadn’t been much more than that.  Raph wasn’t trying to upset Leo nor was he bragging; he did however,  want to gauge Leo’s feelings for their youngest brother.

\tLeo swallowed the growl that threatened to rise from his throat.  “There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have,” Leo managed to say in a fairly even tone.

\tA quick gleam flashed in Raph’s eyes.  “Where Mikey’s concerned, ya’ ain’t much good at hiding your feelings, Leo.  Ya’ might wanna work on that.”

\t“The same way you hide your feelings about Donny?” Leo asked.

\t“I ain’t gotta hide my feelings about him anymore, ‘cept around Master Splinter,” Raph said.  “I’m out here ‘cause I wanted ta tell ya’ something before ya’ went back into the lair.  The first thing was that Mikey and I talked and I tried ta kiss him.  The second thing is he pulled away from me and took off looking for ya’.”

\tRaph stopped in order to let his words sink in.  Leo was staring at him, but his eyes were unseeing as he processed what Raph had just said.

\t“He wanted me?” Leo asked, not really aware of the double meaning in his words.

\tRaph was.  “He wants ya’,” he said.  “I yield bro’.  That’s one of the other reasons I’m out here.  I know when I’m licked.  Ya’ got ta him and he wants ta be with ya’.  I don’t know if he understands all of the ramifications, but I’m guessing ya’ ain’t through working on him yet.”

\t“You’re just giving up on the chase?” Leo asked suspiciously.

\tRaph shrugged and said, “Sure.  This ain’t like our other challenges, bro’.  If I keep screwing around trying ta weasel back into Mikey’s good graces somebody could get hurt and I don’t play like that.  If he’s willing ta be with us too at some point, I know you’ll share ‘cause that’s how we do things.  Besides,” he added with a grin, “you’re in love with the little shit and ya’ have been for some time.”

\tIt was Leo’s turn to laugh.  “Is that why you initiated this challenge, so that you could push me to work on Mikey and leave you free to find out how Don really felt about you?”

\tRaph frowned before grinning widely.  “I knew you’d figure it out sooner or later.  I was hoping it would be after Don and I got a chance ta open up ta each other.  It worked out okay for me so I’m feeling magnanimous enough ta want this ta work out for Mikey and ya’.”

\t“Never mind the fact that Mikey is out of your league?” Leo couldn’t help but say.  “I knew that first night when the three of us talked about this that you and Don didn’t have a chance with him.”

\t“Keep it up and I’ll change my mind,” Raph threatened, though not very seriously.  “Let’s say I think Mikey’s more suited to your personality.  I wouldn’t have put it past him ta follow me out hear and listen ta our conversation, except that I know Master Splinter sent him off ta help Don.”

\t“I do not listen to private conversations,” Leo said haughtily.

\tRaph was laughing again.  “He does and ya’ know he does.  You’re probably gonna turn him into an information gathering spy.  I’ll have ta counter by havin’ Donny set up surveillance equipment.”

\tLeo was chuckling along with him at the absurdity.  “I think Don could be a lot more dangerous in that department that Mikey.  Could you imagine going to the bathroom and lifting the lid to the commode . . . .”

\t“And seeing a camera looking back at ya’?” Raph finished, nearly falling over with hysterical laughter.

\tFor several minutes they were doubled over laughing, neither able to stop.  Every time one would glance at the other, the laughter started again.

\tIt finally started to taper off and they were left trying to catch their breath.  Raph rarely got to see Leo laugh so hard and the joy of that moment got to him.

\tStepping close to his brother, Raph twisted one of his hands in Leo’s mask tails, holding his brother in place as he ravished Leo’s mouth.  Leo offered no resistance, allowing his spontaneous brother to do as he pleased.

\tWhen Raph pulled away he was wearing his signature cocky grin.

\t“Ya’ know that Mikey might be more of a challenge than ya’ think, don’t ya’ Leo?” Raph questioned in a husky whisper, his face inches from his brother’s.  “He might not be willin’ ta bottom for ya’ like the rest of us do.  What are ya’ gonna do if he wants your virgin ass?  Ya’ gonna give it up?”

\t“Wishful thinking, Raph?” Leo asked.

\t“Maybe I figured out that ya’ were saving yourself for a reason,” Raph said.  “Maybe I started this ‘cause I knew the only way I’d get a shot at fuckin’ ya’ was ta let Mikey take ya’ first.”

\t“You came up with an idea that has quite a reach, bro’,” Leo said.  “It helped you discover Don’s true feelings, pulls Mikey into our intimacy and, you hope, loosens me up as well.  I always knew you were capable of long range planning.”

\t“Laugh at me all ya’ want,” Raph murmured smugly.  “I’ll have the last laugh.  By the way, ya’ ain’t even made it ta first base with him, so I wouldn’t start getting too overconfident just yet.”

\tLeo stepped back, the bag he was holding crackling with his movement.  Raph released the hold he had on Leo’s mask and glanced at the bag.

\t“You forget that I always have a plan,” Leo said.

\tBefore he could stop Raph, his brother snatched the bag from Leo’s hand and peeked inside.  The look of puzzled curiosity he gave Leo was eloquent.

\t“I’m glad I’m not sitting through these with him,” Raph finally said.  Reaching inside he snagged two of the half dozen DVD’s Leo had rented through April.

\t“’The Ring’,” Raph read the titles.  “’The Grudge’.  Ya’ know these are liable ta give him nightmares don’t ya’?”

\tLeo said nothing, merely holding his hand out.  Raph slowly replaced the movies and handed the bag back to his brother.

\t“He’ll eat this shit up,” Raph acknowledged.  “Mikey has always loved a good scary movie.  He used ta always have nightmares after watching one too.  That hasn’t happened in a long time though, so if you’re planning on him waking up screaming for ya’ like he did when he was a kid, you’re liable ta have a long, lonely night.”

\t“Not only do I always have a plan A, I also make sure to have a plan B, C and D,” Leo said softly.

\tRaph snorted, his humor evident.  “In other words, Mikey’s having a nightmare tonight whether he really has one or not.”

\tLeo watched him carefully as he asked, “What are your plans for the night?”

\tRaph wore his most innocent expression.  “Me?  I think Don was planning on having me help him with some ‘experiments’ in his lab tonight.  Neither of us are gonna be able ta hear a thing.”

\tLeo flashed his brother another rare smile.  Heart beating fast, Raph smiled in return.  Tonight was going to be special; a night that would change all of their lives for the better.  He knew Leo would make sure of that.
