  "writing": "\t“Don . . . Donny.”\n\n\tGroaning, Don slowly opened his eyes.  It had taken him a while longer to fall asleep than it had taken Raphael on account of the pain radiating from his backside.  Waking meant feeling that stinging, throbbing sensation again and Don did not want to go there.\n\n\t“What is it?” Don asked, sounding as grouchy as he felt.\n\n\t“Sorry bro’, but ya’ were having some kind of nightmare,” Raph said.\n\n\tDon blinked and then frowned.  “I don’t re . . . oh.”\n\n\tHe’d started to say he didn’t remember having a dream, let alone a nightmare, but then flashes of it came back to him.  It was all a vague collage of images, none of which he could pinpoint now that he was awake.  What Don could recall was the overall feeling of dread that had followed him out of his sleep.\n\n\t“One of those kind, huh?” Raph asked, as though very familiar with the experience.\n\n\t“I suppose so,” Don answered.\n\n\tRaph still had one arm around Don’s shoulders as they lay together and he tightened his hold protectively.  “Ain’t nothing gonna get ya’ while I’m around, Donny. Not even in your dreams.”\n\n\t“I appreciate that Raph,” Don said, touched at hearing the normally brusque turtle share such a sentiment with him.  “The same goes for me.”\n\n\tThey were quiet for a moment, Don working to ignore the faint discomfort from his nether regions in the hopes he could fall asleep again.  Just when he thought that Raph had already dozed off, his brother’s grip loosened and Raph’s head rolled back so that he could look into Don’s face.\n\n\t“Ya’ really didn’t want to go that far, did ya’ Donny?  I pushed ya’ into having sex with me, didn’t I?” Raph asked.\n\n\tThere was a painfully vulnerable sound to his voice, one that Raph rarely let anyone hear.  Whatever Don said, he knew it had to be as tactful as it was truthful.\n\n\t“I wasn’t expecting to actually have sex with you,” Don said carefully.  “Not tonight or pretty much ever.  It isn’t something I think about, Raph.  Hearing that you and Mikey have thought about it was a surprise to me.”\n\n\t“Did I . . . .”  Raph paused to clear his throat.  “Did I rape ya’?”\n\n\t“No,” Don answered quickly.  “You made it clear that I could say no.  Don’t go there.  Maybe I wasn’t completely acquiescent when we started, but I know how to stop something I don’t want.”\n\n\t“I was being pushy,” Raph said.  “I don’t mean using force either ‘cause I know you’re strong enough to shove me off.  It’s what I’ve been doing since that first night.  Bullying and threatening ya’ with what I might do if ya’ don’t give in.  That ain’t right.”\n\n\tRemembering back to a previous conversation, Don said, “You told me before that’s the sort of thing you do when you want something bad enough.  I’m not saying that it’s the right thing to do, because it isn’t.  What I’m saying is that I think I understand why you and Mikey have resorted to that tactic.”\n\n\t“Tell me the right thing to do then,” Raph implored.  “This is special to me and I don’t wanna let it go.  The sex is a big part of it but that ain’t all it is.  I really need this with ya’, Donny.”\n\n\tDon took a moment to simply breathe and think.  This was the first time that all of Raph’s bravado had slipped away, revealing the deeper emotions he was feeling.  Perhaps the need to be this physically close to someone had always been there for Raph and Mikey, but they’d kept it hidden because they knew there wasn’t anything they could do.\n\n\tSomehow that night they’d been ambushed had changed something for those two.  Mikey had come close to burning to death and Raph had sacrificed his hands for his little brother.  Raph had no way of knowing that damage wouldn’t be permanent, but he’d done it anyway.\n\n\tDon knew that though Leo was trying not to show that the ambush had affected him, it had.  Seeing death looming up in front of one’s face would surely make one re-evaluate their life.  His brothers were doing so in different ways; Raph and Mikey by pursuing their need to be close to someone, and Leo by isolating himself.\n\n\tMaybe Don was doing the same thing.  He’d certainly allowed himself to be placed into a situation where he’d now bedded two of his brothers.  Don had an inherent desire to give; to provide anything he thought his family required.  Perhaps this was now the most important necessity to his brothers.\n\n\t“Thanks for being honest with me, it helps,” Don finally said.  “I’m not going to turn you away, Raph.  I don’t think I could ever do that.  There’s something I need in return though.”\n\n\t“Anything, name it,” Raph said, a hopeful look on his face.\n\n\t“I need both you and Mikey to agree to this,” Don said.  “Lay off of Leo.  No more attacking him or his decisions.  Back him as much as you can.  I’m not saying never question his orders because he actually finds that to be helpful, even though he’ll never tell you so.  Just don’t push more than you need to or is necessary.  Sometimes I’m afraid that he’s being pushed away.”\n\n\t“Ya’ really care about him, don’t ya’?” Raph asked, an odd look on his face.\n\n\t“Don’t you?” Don countered.  “I know the two of you fight a lot, but you can’t tell me you don’t worry about him sometimes.  If what he thought didn’t matter to you, the fights wouldn’t be so turbulent.”\n\n\t“He cares about ya’ too ya’ know,” Raph said, as though following his own train of thought.  “Leo pretty much always does whatever ya’ want or gives ya’ anything ya’ ask for.”\n\n\t“Leo does that for Mikey too,” Don said.\n\n\tA corner of Raph’s mouth lifted.  “No he don’t.  Remember the Turtle Titan thing?  Leo’s always telling him to take that damn costume off.  It’s different with ya’.  Do ya’ for one minute think Leo would have been so worked up at seeing me and Mikey going at it like rabbits?  He’d have issued a bunch of warnings mostly about how the two of us fucking each other had better not affect his team, and that would’ve been it.”\n\n\t“It sounds to me as though Leo thinks I need to be coddled,” Don said with a frown.\n\n\tRaph snorted.  “If that’s what ya’ want to hear, okay.  That ain’t what I said and that ain’t how he thinks.  But what the hell do I know right?  Getting back to the main point, if what ya’ need from us is to smooth things over with Leo, that’s what we’ll do.  I’ve been talking to Mikey about this stuff and I’ll explain it to him.”\n\n\t“If he could continue to perform the way he did at practice today, that would sure take some stress off of Leo,” Don said.\n\n\t“I’ll relay that message,” Raph said, turning to kiss Don’s forehead.  “Ya’ want a smooth running operation; you’ll get a smooth running operation.  Whatever ya’ ask for Donny, it’s yours.”\n\n\tRaph rolled onto his side and pulled Don up against him, throwing a leg over Don’s.  Sighing contentedly, Raph began to fall asleep again with Don’s head tucked beneath his chin.\n\n\tDon may have set Raph’s mind at ease, but his own was far from serene.  What he’d just done was to bargain sexual favors for certain services in return.  What was it that Leo had said about his becoming a sex proxy?  Don had just gone beyond that and prostituted himself.\n\n\tHe’d also admitted that he couldn’t tell his brothers no.  That combined with the fact that sex wasn’t all that important to him made Don ask himself why he shouldn’t turn it to his own benefit.  Why torture himself with feelings of guilt over allowing Raph and Mikey to use his body to satisfy their desires?  It didn’t seem to bother them that Don wasn’t into it as much as they were.\n\n\tDon had to wonder if he wasn’t simply justifying his actions again.  He now understood why husbands and wives couldn’t be compelled to testify against each other.  Pillow talk was just another word for the point after coital bliss where all of a person’s guards were completely lowered.  Raph had expressed remorse on two post sex occasions, relaying his fear that he’d forced Don into it, that he’d in essence raped his brother.\n\n\tWhatever had happened, there was no way that Don could allow Raph to be devoured by any kind of shame over what he’d done.  He couldn’t let Mikey return to feeling as though he’d be forever alone in the world.  If Don could give them this kind of comfort and provide some to Leo while he was at it, then it was all for the greater good.\n\n\tWith that thought, Don fell asleep again.  The nightmares did not return to plague him.\n\n\tThe next time Don woke he found that he’d rolled onto his side and that Raph was curved around his carapace.  A glance at the clock told him it was nearly nine in the morning.\n\n\tDon must have made some sort of sound because Raph began to stir.  Something wet touched the back of Don’s leg and he knew that Raph was waking to a morning erection.\n\n\tThere was no way Don could go another round so soon, his rear was just too sore.  Rather than worrying over having a protracted argument about that with his brother, Don flipped over and pushed Raph onto his shell.\n\n\tBefore Raph could even fully open his eyes, Don had wrapped a hand around his brother’s thick shaft.  Raph groaned as Donatello began to pump his organ, reaching out to clutch the edge of Don’s carapace.\n\n\t“Oh gods Donny, yes,” Raph muttered, his hips lifting in encouragement.\n\n\tSince he’d become something of an expert on what his brother liked, it did not take long for Don to bring Raph to completion.  Raph exhaled loudly as his cock spurted out the last dregs of his cum.  He was still shuddering from his release when Don removed his hand from Raph’s dick and used a corner of the blanket to clean himself off.\n\n\tOpening one eye, Raph watched Don carefully wipe off his hand and then look over at the clock again.\n\n\t“Mid-morning?” Raph asked, holding his hand out to Don.\n\n\tDon nodded, lying down again so that Raph could fold an arm across his shoulders.  “It’s past nine.  I don’t usually stay in bed this long unless it was a really late night.”\n\n\t“It was a late one for us,” Raph said, kissing Don’s forehead.  “Not as far as Leo knows though, right?  He thinks ya’ turned in when he did.  Ain’t that what’s worrying ya’?”\n\n\t“Yes,” Don said, seeing no point in dissembling.  “I haven’t thought through how I’m going to tell him that what I have with you and Mikey isn’t going to end.”\n\n\t“Ya’ mean how you’ll tell him you’re gonna keep having sex with your brothers in return for Mikey and me treating him better,” Raph said.\n\n\tDon pulled away from Raph to sit up.  “He doesn’t need to know that.  I thought you were okay with the arrangement,” he said sharply, frowning.\n\n\t“Chill Donny,” Raph said soothingly, rising onto his hip so that he could gather Don into his arms.  “Ya’ didn’t ask for anything unreasonable,” he whispered against the side of Don’s head.\n\n\t“You don’t have to make it sound like we’re just trading services,” Don said gruffly, refusing to return the hug.\n\n\t“I’m sorry,” Raph said, leaning back so that he could look into Don’s eyes.  “I can be stupid sometimes and say the wrong thing.  Ya’ don’t want me to be dishonest with ya’ though, do ya’?  Would I like it better if ya’ were more into sex than ya’ are?  Of course I would, it’d feel less like I was forcing something.”\n\n\tDon was allowing some of his resentment over the situation to bleed through and he hadn’t meant to do that.  “I may not be as excited about sex as you are, but I do get a great deal of satisfaction out of making you feel good.  I always have.  I just don’t want to cheapen what’s between us by relegating it to barter status.”\n\n\t“’Cause we can be really close to each other, right Donny?” Raph asked hopefully.\n\n\tDon’s expression smoothed out and he wrapped his arms around Raph’s shoulders.  Maybe sex wasn’t something his particularly wanted, but having Raph be so open with him wasn’t a bad trade-off.\n\n\t“Yes,” Don murmured into Raph’s neck.  “Let’s not hold things back, okay?  What we’re doing is very personal and keeping secrets will spoil it.”\n\n\t“When I said I wanted something special that wasn’t only about sex, ya’ understood, didn’t ya’, Donny?  You’re so fucking smart,” Raph said, tightening his hold on Don.\n\n\tNot knowing how to respond to that, Don instead pressed a kiss to Raph’s collar bone.  He’d asked that Raph be totally candid with him, but in truth Don wasn’t returning the favor.  He couldn’t, not without making Raph feel like a rapist.\n\n\tRaph moved his left hand so that it was cupping the back of Don’s neck.  Holding him in place, Raph titled his head so that he could kiss his brother.  It was a deeply sensuous kiss and Don perceived that Raph was pouring into it all of his spirit.\n\n\tTouched by the amount of feeling Raph displayed, Don returned the kiss as best he could.  It was harder for him because the passion that was an embodiment of Raphael himself wasn’t something that came naturally to Don.  Perhaps it was the lack of that kind of spark that made Don so disinterested in sex.\n\n\tDon must have done something right because Raph was panting by the time their lips separated.  “Damn Donny,” Raph husked against his mouth.  “If ya’ hadn’t just jacked me off I’d be getting a boner from that kiss.”\n\n\t“I’d have to use my hand again,” Don stated matter-of-factly, “because my rear hurts.”\n\n\t“Yeah, I had a feeling that’s why ya’ pounced on my dick so fast this morning,” Raph said with a chuckle.  “That lubricant was the same stuff I use when I’m masturbating.  I didn’t know if it was right for what I wanted to do with ya’, but I knew it’d be better than nothing.  Maybe ya’ can figure out what we should be using?  I’ll find a way to get hold of some once I know what to get.”\n\n\tFor just a second, Don’s head swam.  Was he really having a conversation about anal lubricant with his brother?  Was he actually making plans to again have intercourse with Raphael?\n\n\tDon would have pinched himself but Raph would have noticed and asked why.\n\n\t“I’ll do some research,” Don said.  “It shouldn’t be hard to get the right lubricant during my next pharmacy run.”\n\n\t“Get Mikey to go with ya’, that way ya’ don’t have to explain to Leo why you’re shopping for lube in the first place,” Raph said.  “I’ll leave it up to ya’ what, if anything, ya’ want to explain to Leo too.  For me, laying off of Leo like ya’ asked is mostly about avoiding situations that make me want to stick an elbow in his mouth.”\n\n\tDon couldn’t help but be amused.  “You have a colorful way of explaining things.”\n\n\tRaph grinned at him.  “So genius, what do ya’ want to do about escaping from your room?  Ya’ know the watchdog is out and about.  Wouldn’t surprise me to know he already peeked into my bedroom and discovered I ain’t in there.”\n\n\tDismayed, Don realized he hadn’t even thought of that.  “I guess that takes plausible deniability off the table,” Don said.\n\n\t“Ya’ ever think that just being up front about it might be better than acting like ya’ got something to be ashamed of?” Raph asked.  “This trying to hide things is probably what’s got Leo’s tail in a twist.  Ya’ jumping around like a cat on a hot tin roof whenever the subject of us being together comes up is what’s got him asking if we’re forcing ya’ to do stuff.  Leo’s gonna stay protective and watchful if he thinks that’s what ya’ need from him.”\n\n\tDon had to concede Raph that point.  Behaving as though he was being asked to do something that didn’t sit well with him certainly had a lot do with Leo’s vigilance.\n\n\t“I suppose if I’m asking that you and Mikey take some of the stress off Leo’s shoulders then I should do the same,” Don said.  “We probably shouldn’t be overly blatant about our having sex though; there is still Master Splinter to consider, but we can stop being defensive with Leo when he makes enquiries.”\n\n\t“Enquiries,” Raph repeated with a laugh.  “That sounds a hell of a lot better than saying he’s butting in where he don’t belong.  No wonder Leo favors ya’.”\n\n\t“I keep telling you that he doesn’t,” Don said, though he could feel the heat rising into his face.\n\n\t“Whatever you say, Donny.”  Raph was looking at him knowingly.  “So how about we shower together?  It’d answer any questions about what we were doing together in your room all night and show Leo that we ain’t bashful about it.”\n\n\tIt was one thing to talk big about acting like having sex with a brother was no big deal, quite another to go through with it.  To make this work, Don knew he was eventually going to have to bite the bullet, it might as well be now.\n\n\t“Okay,” Don agreed, extricating himself from Raph’s hold and rising from the bed.  He immediately shivered and clenched his butt cheeks together against the tiny sharp spikes of pain.\n\n\t“Need my help walking?” Raph asked with genuine concern as he got up to stand next to Don.\n\n\tShaking his head, Don said, “No.  I have to operate under my own steam if I don’t want Leo to freak out.  I think I have some cream in my lab that’ll help with the stinging sensation, at least enough so I can get through practice today.”\n\n\t“I’ll be happy to help apply that cream,” Raph offered.\n\n\tDon wasn’t sure how much lechery there was in that suggestion, but he chose to take it at face value.  “I can manage.  We don’t want to push too much in Leo’s face all in one sitting.”\n\n\tRaph made a noise signifying his agreement and opened the door for Don.  Taking a deep breath, Don stepped out of the room with his head up, trying not to appear like he was looking for Leo.\n\n\tIt was Mikey they encountered first.  The youngest turtle was seated on the top step of the staircase, ostensibly working on the wheels of his skateboard.  He grinned as Don and Raph passed by, letting out a low whistle to signify his appreciation.\n\n\tThere was no sign of Leo and Don rather hoped that meant his oldest brother was in Master Splinter’s room.  Don was just entering the bathroom when he heard Mikey say, “Oh hi, Leo.  Am I in your way?”\n\n\tPausing, Don glanced back over his shoulder and saw Leonardo staring at him, his mouth pressed into a grim line.\n\n\tThen Raph gave Don a gentle push to propel him into the bathroom, closing the door behind them with an audible click as he engaged the lock.\n\nTBC…………….\n\n",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>\t&ldquo;Don . . . Donny.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tGroaning, Don slowly opened his eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;It had taken him a while longer to fall asleep than it had taken Raphael on account of the pain radiating from his backside.&nbsp;&nbsp;Waking meant feeling that stinging, throbbing sensation again and Don did not want to go there.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;What is it?&rdquo; Don asked, sounding as grouchy as he felt.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Sorry bro&rsquo;, but ya&rsquo; were having some kind of nightmare,&rdquo; Raph said.<br /><br />\tDon blinked and then frowned.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t re . . . oh.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tHe&rsquo;d started to say he didn&rsquo;t remember having a dream, let alone a nightmare, but then flashes of it came back to him.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was all a vague collage of images, none of which he could pinpoint now that he was awake.&nbsp;&nbsp;What Don could recall was the overall feeling of dread that had followed him out of his sleep.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;One of those kind, huh?&rdquo; Raph asked, as though very familiar with the experience.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I suppose so,&rdquo; Don answered.<br /><br />\tRaph still had one arm around Don&rsquo;s shoulders as they lay together and he tightened his hold protectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ain&rsquo;t nothing gonna get ya&rsquo; while I&rsquo;m around, Donny. Not even in your dreams.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I appreciate that Raph,&rdquo; Don said, touched at hearing the normally brusque turtle share such a sentiment with him.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;The same goes for me.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tThey were quiet for a moment, Don working to ignore the faint discomfort from his nether regions in the hopes he could fall asleep again.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just when he thought that Raph had already dozed off, his brother&rsquo;s grip loosened and Raph&rsquo;s head rolled back so that he could look into Don&rsquo;s face.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; really didn&rsquo;t want to go that far, did ya&rsquo; Donny?&nbsp;&nbsp;I pushed ya&rsquo; into having sex with me, didn&rsquo;t I?&rdquo; Raph asked.<br /><br />\tThere was a painfully vulnerable sound to his voice, one that Raph rarely let anyone hear.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whatever Don said, he knew it had to be as tactful as it was truthful.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t expecting to actually have sex with you,&rdquo; Don said carefully.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Not tonight or pretty much ever.&nbsp;&nbsp;It isn&rsquo;t something I think about, Raph.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hearing that you and Mikey have thought about it was a surprise to me.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Did I . . . .&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph paused to clear his throat.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Did I rape ya&rsquo;?&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;No,&rdquo; Don answered quickly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;You made it clear that I could say no.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don&rsquo;t go there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe I wasn&rsquo;t completely acquiescent when we started, but I know how to stop something I don&rsquo;t want.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I was being pushy,&rdquo; Raph said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t mean using force either &lsquo;cause I know you&rsquo;re strong enough to shove me off.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;ve been doing since that first night.&nbsp;&nbsp;Bullying and threatening ya&rsquo; with what I might do if ya&rsquo; don&rsquo;t give in.&nbsp;&nbsp;That ain&rsquo;t right.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRemembering back to a previous conversation, Don said, &ldquo;You told me before that&rsquo;s the sort of thing you do when you want something bad enough.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&rsquo;m not saying that it&rsquo;s the right thing to do, because it isn&rsquo;t.&nbsp;&nbsp;What I&rsquo;m saying is that I think I understand why you and Mikey have resorted to that tactic.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Tell me the right thing to do then,&rdquo; Raph implored.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;This is special to me and I don&rsquo;t wanna let it go.&nbsp;&nbsp;The sex is a big part of it but that ain&rsquo;t all it is.&nbsp;&nbsp;I really need this with ya&rsquo;, Donny.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tDon took a moment to simply breathe and think.&nbsp;&nbsp;This was the first time that all of Raph&rsquo;s bravado had slipped away, revealing the deeper emotions he was feeling.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps the need to be this physically close to someone had always been there for Raph and Mikey, but they&rsquo;d kept it hidden because they knew there wasn&rsquo;t anything they could do.<br /><br />\tSomehow that night they&rsquo;d been ambushed had changed something for those two.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mikey had come close to burning to death and Raph had sacrificed his hands for his little brother.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph had no way of knowing that damage wouldn&rsquo;t be permanent, but he&rsquo;d done it anyway.<br /><br />\tDon knew that though Leo was trying not to show that the ambush had affected him, it had.&nbsp;&nbsp;Seeing death looming up in front of one&rsquo;s face would surely make one re-evaluate their life.&nbsp;&nbsp;His brothers were doing so in different ways; Raph and Mikey by pursuing their need to be close to someone, and Leo by isolating himself.<br /><br />\tMaybe Don was doing the same thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;He&rsquo;d certainly allowed himself to be placed into a situation where he&rsquo;d now bedded two of his brothers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Don had an inherent desire to give; to provide anything he thought his family required.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps this was now the most important necessity to his brothers.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Thanks for being honest with me, it helps,&rdquo; Don finally said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I&rsquo;m not going to turn you away, Raph.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don&rsquo;t think I could ever do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;There&rsquo;s something I need in return though.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Anything, name it,&rdquo; Raph said, a hopeful look on his face.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I need both you and Mikey to agree to this,&rdquo; Don said.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Lay off of Leo.&nbsp;&nbsp;No more attacking him or his decisions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Back him as much as you can.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&rsquo;m not saying never question his orders because he actually finds that to be helpful, even though he&rsquo;ll never tell you so.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just don&rsquo;t push more than you need to or is necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes I&rsquo;m afraid that he&rsquo;s being pushed away.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; really care about him, don&rsquo;t ya&rsquo;?&rdquo; Raph asked, an odd look on his face.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t you?&rdquo; Don countered.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I know the two of you fight a lot, but you can&rsquo;t tell me you don&rsquo;t worry about him sometimes.&nbsp;&nbsp;If what he thought didn&rsquo;t matter to you, the fights wouldn&rsquo;t be so turbulent.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;He cares about ya&rsquo; too ya&rsquo; know,&rdquo; Raph said, as though following his own train of thought.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Leo pretty much always does whatever ya&rsquo; want or gives ya&rsquo; anything ya&rsquo; ask for.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Leo does that for Mikey too,&rdquo; Don said.<br /><br />\tA corner of Raph&rsquo;s mouth lifted.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;No he don&rsquo;t.&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember the Turtle Titan thing?&nbsp;&nbsp;Leo&rsquo;s always telling him to take that damn costume off.&nbsp;&nbsp;It&rsquo;s different with ya&rsquo;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do ya&rsquo; for one minute think Leo would have been so worked up at seeing me and Mikey going at it like rabbits?&nbsp;&nbsp;He&rsquo;d have issued a bunch of warnings mostly about how the two of us fucking each other had better not affect his team, and that would&rsquo;ve been it.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;It sounds to me as though Leo thinks I need to be coddled,&rdquo; Don said with a frown.<br /><br />\tRaph snorted.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;If that&rsquo;s what ya&rsquo; want to hear, okay.&nbsp;&nbsp;That ain&rsquo;t what I said and that ain&rsquo;t how he thinks.&nbsp;&nbsp;But what the hell do I know right?&nbsp;&nbsp;Getting back to the main point, if what ya&rsquo; need from us is to smooth things over with Leo, that&rsquo;s what we&rsquo;ll do.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&rsquo;ve been talking to Mikey about this stuff and I&rsquo;ll explain it to him.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;If he could continue to perform the way he did at practice today, that would sure take some stress off of Leo,&rdquo; Don said.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll relay that message,&rdquo; Raph said, turning to kiss Don&rsquo;s forehead.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; want a smooth running operation; you&rsquo;ll get a smooth running operation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whatever ya&rsquo; ask for Donny, it&rsquo;s yours.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tRaph rolled onto his side and pulled Don up against him, throwing a leg over Don&rsquo;s.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sighing contentedly, Raph began to fall asleep again with Don&rsquo;s head tucked beneath his chin.<br /><br />\tDon may have set Raph&rsquo;s mind at ease, but his own was far from serene.&nbsp;&nbsp;What he&rsquo;d just done was to bargain sexual favors for certain services in return.&nbsp;&nbsp;What was it that Leo had said about his becoming a sex proxy?&nbsp;&nbsp;Don had just gone beyond that and prostituted himself.<br /><br />\tHe&rsquo;d also admitted that he couldn&rsquo;t tell his brothers no.&nbsp;&nbsp;That combined with the fact that sex wasn&rsquo;t all that important to him made Don ask himself why he shouldn&rsquo;t turn it to his own benefit.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why torture himself with feelings of guilt over allowing Raph and Mikey to use his body to satisfy their desires?&nbsp;&nbsp;It didn&rsquo;t seem to bother them that Don wasn&rsquo;t into it as much as they were.<br /><br />\tDon had to wonder if he wasn&rsquo;t simply justifying his actions again.&nbsp;&nbsp;He now understood why husbands and wives couldn&rsquo;t be compelled to testify against each other.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pillow talk was just another word for the point after coital bliss where all of a person&rsquo;s guards were completely lowered.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph had expressed remorse on two post sex occasions, relaying his fear that he&rsquo;d forced Don into it, that he&rsquo;d in essence raped his brother.<br /><br />\tWhatever had happened, there was no way that Don could allow Raph to be devoured by any kind of shame over what he&rsquo;d done.&nbsp;&nbsp;He couldn&rsquo;t let Mikey return to feeling as though he&rsquo;d be forever alone in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;If Don could give them this kind of comfort and provide some to Leo while he was at it, then it was all for the greater good.<br /><br />\tWith that thought, Don fell asleep again.&nbsp;&nbsp;The nightmares did not return to plague him.<br /><br />\tThe next time Don woke he found that he&rsquo;d rolled onto his side and that Raph was curved around his carapace.&nbsp;&nbsp;A glance at the clock told him it was nearly nine in the morning.<br /><br />\tDon must have made some sort of sound because Raph began to stir.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something wet touched the back of Don&rsquo;s leg and he knew that Raph was waking to a morning erection.<br /><br />\tThere was no way Don could go another round so soon, his rear was just too sore.&nbsp;&nbsp;Rather than worrying over having a protracted argument about that with his brother, Don flipped over and pushed Raph onto his shell.<br /><br />\tBefore Raph could even fully open his eyes, Don had wrapped a hand around his brother&rsquo;s thick shaft.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph groaned as Donatello began to pump his organ, reaching out to clutch the edge of Don&rsquo;s carapace.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Oh gods Donny, yes,&rdquo; Raph muttered, his hips lifting in encouragement.<br /><br />\tSince he&rsquo;d become something of an expert on what his brother liked, it did not take long for Don to bring Raph to completion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph exhaled loudly as his cock spurted out the last dregs of his cum.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was still shuddering from his release when Don removed his hand from Raph&rsquo;s dick and used a corner of the blanket to clean himself off.<br /><br />\tOpening one eye, Raph watched Don carefully wipe off his hand and then look over at the clock again.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Mid-morning?&rdquo; Raph asked, holding his hand out to Don.<br /><br />\tDon nodded, lying down again so that Raph could fold an arm across his shoulders.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s past nine.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don&rsquo;t usually stay in bed this long unless it was a really late night.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;It was a late one for us,&rdquo; Raph said, kissing Don&rsquo;s forehead.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Not as far as Leo knows though, right?&nbsp;&nbsp;He thinks ya&rsquo; turned in when he did.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ain&rsquo;t that what&rsquo;s worrying ya&rsquo;?&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; Don said, seeing no point in dissembling.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t thought through how I&rsquo;m going to tell him that what I have with you and Mikey isn&rsquo;t going to end.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; mean how you&rsquo;ll tell him you&rsquo;re gonna keep having sex with your brothers in return for Mikey and me treating him better,&rdquo; Raph said.<br /><br />\tDon pulled away from Raph to sit up.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;He doesn&rsquo;t need to know that.&nbsp;&nbsp;I thought you were okay with the arrangement,&rdquo; he said sharply, frowning.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Chill Donny,&rdquo; Raph said soothingly, rising onto his hip so that he could gather Don into his arms.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Ya&rsquo; didn&rsquo;t ask for anything unreasonable,&rdquo; he whispered against the side of Don&rsquo;s head.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t have to make it sound like we&rsquo;re just trading services,&rdquo; Don said gruffly, refusing to return the hug.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry,&rdquo; Raph said, leaning back so that he could look into Don&rsquo;s eyes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I can be stupid sometimes and say the wrong thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ya&rsquo; don&rsquo;t want me to be dishonest with ya&rsquo; though, do ya&rsquo;?&nbsp;&nbsp;Would I like it better if ya&rsquo; were more into sex than ya&rsquo; are?&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course I would, it&rsquo;d feel less like I was forcing something.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tDon was allowing some of his resentment over the situation to bleed through and he hadn&rsquo;t meant to do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;I may not be as excited about sex as you are, but I do get a great deal of satisfaction out of making you feel good.&nbsp;&nbsp;I always have.&nbsp;&nbsp;I just don&rsquo;t want to cheapen what&rsquo;s between us by relegating it to barter status.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;&rsquo;Cause we can be really close to each other, right Donny?&rdquo; Raph asked hopefully.<br /><br />\tDon&rsquo;s expression smoothed out and he wrapped his arms around Raph&rsquo;s shoulders.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe sex wasn&rsquo;t something his particularly wanted, but having Raph be so open with him wasn&rsquo;t a bad trade-off.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Yes,&rdquo; Don murmured into Raph&rsquo;s neck.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s not hold things back, okay?&nbsp;&nbsp;What we&rsquo;re doing is very personal and keeping secrets will spoil it.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;When I said I wanted something special that wasn&rsquo;t only about sex, ya&rsquo; understood, didn&rsquo;t ya&rsquo;, Donny?&nbsp;&nbsp;You&rsquo;re so fucking smart,&rdquo; Raph said, tightening his hold on Don.<br /><br />\tNot knowing how to respond to that, Don instead pressed a kiss to Raph&rsquo;s collar bone.&nbsp;&nbsp;He&rsquo;d asked that Raph be totally candid with him, but in truth Don wasn&rsquo;t returning the favor.&nbsp;&nbsp;He couldn&rsquo;t, not without making Raph feel like a rapist.<br /><br />\tRaph moved his left hand so that it was cupping the back of Don&rsquo;s neck.&nbsp;&nbsp;Holding him in place, Raph titled his head so that he could kiss his brother.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was a deeply sensuous kiss and Don perceived that Raph was pouring into it all of his spirit.<br /><br />\tTouched by the amount of feeling Raph displayed, Don returned the kiss as best he could.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was harder for him because the passion that was an embodiment of Raphael himself wasn&rsquo;t something that came naturally to Don.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps it was the lack of that kind of spark that made Don so disinterested in sex.<br /><br />\tDon must have done something right because Raph was panting by the time their lips separated.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Damn Donny,&rdquo; Raph husked against his mouth.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;If ya&rsquo; hadn&rsquo;t just jacked me off I&rsquo;d be getting a boner from that kiss.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I&rsquo;d have to use my hand again,&rdquo; Don stated matter-of-factly, &ldquo;because my rear hurts.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Yeah, I had a feeling that&rsquo;s why ya&rsquo; pounced on my dick so fast this morning,&rdquo; Raph said with a chuckle.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;That lubricant was the same stuff I use when I&rsquo;m masturbating.&nbsp;&nbsp;I didn&rsquo;t know if it was right for what I wanted to do with ya&rsquo;, but I knew it&rsquo;d be better than nothing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe ya&rsquo;

Raph repeated with a laugh.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;That sounds a hell of a lot better than saying he&rsquo;s butting in where he don&rsquo;t belong.&nbsp;&nbsp;No wonder Leo favors ya&rsquo;.&rdquo;<br /><br />\t&ldquo;I keep telling you that he doesn&rsquo;t,&rdquo; Don said, though he could feel the heat rising into his face.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Whatever you say, Donny.&rdquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;Raph was looking at him knowingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;So how about we shower together?&nbsp;&nbsp;It&rsquo;d answer any questions about what we were doing together in your room all night and show Leo that we ain&rsquo;t bashful about it.&rdquo;<br /><br />\tIt was one thing to talk big about acting like having sex with a brother was no big deal, quite another to go through with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;To make this work, Don knew he was eventually going to have to bite the bullet, it might as well be now.<br /><br />\t&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo;
