", "writing": "\tThe size of the daybed in Donatello’s lab made it impossible for Raphael to get up without waking his bother.\n\n\tRaph was tucked against the back frame and had to work his way from under Don’s arms and one of his legs. Easing his bulk over his brother to step onto the floor caused Don to shift and when he did, his eyes blinked open.\n\n\t“Raph?” Don asked sleepily. “What time is it?”\n\n\t“Shh, go back ta sleep,” Raph answered softly. “It’s a little after four. I’ll be right back, I gotta take a leak.”\n\n\tDon’s eyes slid shut but his mouth curved up into a smile. “You’re going to check on Leo and Mikey.”\n\n\t“I might be a little curious,” Raph admitted cautiously.\n\n\t“Ri~ght.” Don sighed and rolled over. “Let me know what you find out.”\n\n\tHe could hear Raph’s low chuckle as his brother exited the lab. Squirming to get comfortable again, Don started to also wonder what had happened between his oldest and youngest brothers.\n\n\tFlipping onto his carapace, Don settled his head into the palms of his hands and played several different scenarios through his mind. Mikey was by no means a pushover, so there was a fifty-fifty chance that Leo’s plan hadn’t worked.\n\n\tOn the other hand, Mikey had seemed to recently have more than a brotherly interest in Leo. If Leo had managed to pique his curiosity and to also wake up some of Mikey’s more primal urges, Leo might find himself holding a tiger by the tail.\n\n\tAll that energy, exuberance, spirit, and agility would be more power than even Leonardo could harness. The thought of Mikey finding his sexuality and then storming over Leo made Don laugh. He could easily visualize Leo attempting to take his usual place as a seme and finding that Mikey had other ideas.\n\n\tDon suddenly found those mental pictures to be more than a little arousing. Coupled with the fact that a certain part of his body was already stimulated as it usually was at this time of the morning, Don started to wish Raph would hurry back.\n\n\tRaph padded upstairs on silent feet, determined to discover if Leo’s plan had worked or backfired. Since his oldest brother was normally a light sleeper and an early riser, Raph was careful to make absolutely no noise.\n\n\tMikey’s door was closed, but Leo’s was open. Having seen that the bathroom was unoccupied when he passed by it, Raph took a quick peek into Leo’s room. It was empty and the bed tightly made. Leo had not slept in his room.\n\n\tBiting his own tongue to hold back the satisfied sound he was tempted to make, Raph stepped up to Mikey’s door and lowered his head. With his eyes closed he concentrated his other senses towards the inside of that room.\n\n\tThe faint sounds of two sleeping turtles came to his ears and Raph nodded. Leo had managed to crawl into bed with Mikey and stay there, that much Raph now knew.\n\n\tMoving a bit closer to the door, Raph lifted his head and widened his nostrils, inhaling slowly and deeply. The smell of sex was so strong it almost knocked him over.\n\n\tSpinning lightly on his heel, Raph had to force himself to walk downstairs rather than bound. A wide smile was painted across his face and he couldn’t wait to tell Don what he’d discovered.\n\n\tBarely remembering to hold down the noise level so as not to wake Master Splinter, Raph let himself back into Don’s lab. With the door closed behind him, it took a minute for his eyes to adjust to the darkness.\n\n\t“Hey Donny,” Raph called in a low voice. “Guess who didn’t sleep in his own bed last night?”\n\n\tThere was no answer from the bed and Raph rolled his eyes. It was hard as shell to get his genius brother to go to sleep sometimes and it was just as hard to wake him.\n\n\tCrossing over to the bed, Raph said, “Come on Don, wake up for a couple minutes.”\n\n\tWhen he looked down at the mattress, he saw that Don wasn’t there.\n\n\t“Oh, I’m awake, Raphie,” Don whispered from behind him.\n\n\tBefore Raph had a chance to turn around, Don had grasped his wrists. Pulling them back and up forced Raph to bend over and Don pressed what had by now become a raging hard on against Raph’s tail.\n\n\tShocked by his brother’s aggressive maneuver, it took Raph a moment to realize that the hard object rubbing against his tail and backside was Don’s penis. A surge of adrenaline swept through his body and he grinned wildly as his own erection began to grow in response.\n\n\t“Damn, Donny,” Raph said, his voice dropping an octave. “What’s gotten into ya’?”\n\n\t“I was thinking that now we could have a foursome,” Don answered, leaning over to nip at Raph’s shoulder. “But before that happens, I want to take you up on your offer.”\n\n\t“What offer would that be?” Raph asked, knowing damn well what it was.\n\n\t“That you’d bottom for me,” Don told him.\n\n\tHolding onto Raph’s wrists with one hand, Don used his toes to grab the lube that he’d left lying on the floor next to the bed and lifted it to his hand. Raph watched the exchange, grinning the entire time.\n\n\t“Ya’ know how easily I could get out of this hold and spin ya’ around, don’t ya’?” Raph asked.\n\n\t“Of course,” Don said with a chuckle. “Do you want to?”\n\n\tRaph shook his head. “Nope. A deal’s a deal.”\n\n\t“Don’t worry,” Don said as the top popped open on the lubricant, “I’m so excited right now I doubt if I’ll last long.”\n\n\t“Take your time, Donny.” Raph’s cock slipped into the open as Don released his wrists and pushed a well lubed finger into his entrance. “I trust you’re gonna take care of me while you’re at it?”\n\n\tDon churred and then followed that with a grunt as he penetrated Raph for the first time.\n\n\t“Sh . . . shell, Raphie,” Don stammered as he began to thrust, forcing Raph to bend further forward and grab onto the mattress to keep from falling over. “Hold on for a few min . . . minutes and I’ll give you the b . . . best blow job you’ve ever had.”\n\n\t“I’m all over that,” Raph said, grinding his teeth as Don hit his sweet spot.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n\t“One up on you this morning, Leo!”\n\n\tMikey’s loud chortle woke Raph, who turned his head and groaned as he looked at the wall clock. This was one of the few mornings they normally got to sleep in, but Mikey had apparently forgotten that.\n\n\tDon was still asleep next to him and Raph smiled. Being taken by Don had been a major eye opener. For one thing, Don had bottomed enough to know what felt really good, and he was also damned accurate at striking a certain spot repeatedly.\n\n\tIf Raph hadn’t wrapped a hand around himself he would have blown his wad before Don’s promised blow job. And that had turned out to be something he wouldn’t have missed for the world.\n\n\tShaking Don’s shoulder, Raph said, “Wake up sleepy head. Let’s go make Mikey spill his guts about last night.”\n\n\tDon stretched and yawned. “You aren’t planning to rub it in are you? He’s probably sore and you’ll embarrass him.”\n\n\tRaph bounded out of bed. “I won’t be too hard on the little nut ball,” Raph said with a grin. “But he deserves a little payback for the grief he gave ya’ over this.”\n\n\tDon sat up and shook his head. “He does not. Mikey and I made up about that and you will leave it alone.”\n\n\tRaph’s grin turned into a tender smile. “You’re a lot more forgiving than I am, Donny. I love that about ya’.”\n\n\tAnother loud shout from Mikey got Don out of bed. The two of them followed the sound of their brother’s voices, discovering that Leo and Mikey were in the middle of a hot handball match.\n\n\tStanding off to the side, Raph and Don watched the action unfold. If possible, Mikey was in an even more energetic mood than normal, bouncing from one side of the makeshift handball court to the other.\n\n\tLeo was moving fast to keep up with him, concentrating hard to anticipate where the ball would land. He seemed to be having a slightly more difficult time keeping up with his brother this morning, possibly hampered by the huge smile on his face.\n\n\tAfter a few minutes of observation, Raph’s eyes narrowed. Studying Leo’s movements, Raph saw that something was off. It took another minute for him to figure it out.\n\n\tNudging Don with his elbow, Raph suddenly burst out laughing.\n\n\tThe sound stopped the handball game mid-action; Leo catching the ball as it bounced to him. Both he and Mikey stared at their red banded brother.\n\n\tSo did Don. “What is so funny?” Don asked him.\n\n\t“D . . . didn’t ya’ see?” Raph stammered as he tried to get his amusement under control. Walking towards his brothers, Raph pointed at Leo and asked, “How come you’re moving so slow today, bro’? Ya’ act like ya’ might be in a little pain. Something happen last night the two of ya’ wanna tell us about?”\n\n\tThe corners of Leo’s mouth twitched upwards making Don gasp.\n\n\t“Did Mikey . . . ?” Don’s mouth snapped shut so fast his teeth clicked together.\n\n\t\"Yeah, I did,” Mikey answered with a look of smug satisfaction. “I might be late to this game, but I’m catching up.”\n\n\t“That’s what I like about ya’, Mikey,” Raph said as he reached down to slap Mikey’s butt. “Ya’ give as good as ya’ get.”\n\n\tMikey reached over and pinched Raph’s tail in response. “I know who I’m going after next, too.”\n\n\tLeo’s smile grew wider as Raph protested, “No way is that happening, little bro’.”\n\n\tMikey plucked the handball from Leo’s grip and bounced it on the ground. “I’ll play you for it.”\n\n\tRaph stepped back, his palms up. “Not in a million years. Ya’ cheat at that game.”\n\n\t“Aw come one, Raph,” Mikey smiled brightly. “I’ll even let you serve.”\n\n\tHe threw the ball right next to Raph’s head. Surprised, Raph lunged for it and suddenly felt the floor disappear.\n\n\tWith a splash, Raph landed in the water of the channel feeding into the tide pool. Spluttering, Raph grabbed the edge and stared daggers at his youngest brother.\n\n\t“You plotted out the last challenge, Raphie,” Mike told him. “It’s my turn now.”\n\n\t“Why you little . . . .” Raph began.\n\n\tTurning to Don and Leo, Mikey asked, “Breakfast anyone?” His two oldest brothers were laughing as they walked towards the kitchen.\n\n\tSpinning back towards Raph, Mikey squatted just out of reach of his wet brother and said, “Remember bro’, you’re the one who first offered to let me take you.”\n\n\tJumping up, Mikey walked away. After a moment, Raph started to laugh.\n\n\tThe challenge wasn’t quite over. None of them had managed to claim Mikey yet.\n\nTHE END\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tThe size of the daybed in Donatello’s lab made it impossible for Raphael to get up without waking his bother.

\t“That’s what I like about ya’, Mikey,” Raph said as he reached down to slap Mikey’s butt.  “Ya’ give as good as ya’ get.”

\tMikey reached over and pinched Raph’s tail in response.  “I know who I’m going after next, too.”

\tLeo’s smile grew wider as Raph protested, “No way is that happening, little bro’.”

\tMikey plucked the handball from Leo’s grip and bounced it on the ground.  “I’ll play you for it.”

\tRaph stepped back, his palms up.  “Not in a million years.  Ya’ cheat at that game.”

\t“Aw come one, Raph,” Mikey smiled brightly.  “I’ll even let you serve.”

\tHe threw the ball right next to Raph’s head.  Surprised, Raph lunged for it and suddenly felt the floor disappear.

\tWith a splash, Raph landed in the water of the channel feeding into the tide pool.  Spluttering, Raph grabbed the edge and stared daggers at his youngest brother.

\t“You plotted out the last challenge, Raphie,” Mike told him.  “It’s my turn now.”

\t“Why you little . . . .” Raph began.

\tTurning to Don and Leo, Mikey asked, “Breakfast anyone?”  His two oldest brothers were laughing as they walked towards the kitchen.

\tSpinning back towards Raph, Mikey squatted just out of reach of his wet brother and said, “Remember bro’, you’re the one who first offered to let me take you.”

\tJumping up, Mikey walked away.  After a moment, Raph started to laugh.

\tThe challenge wasn’t quite over.  None of them had managed to claim Mikey yet.
