", "writing": "\tSounding adamant, Leo responded to Raph’s statement by saying, “That’s not an issue that should be discussed in the place where we train.”\n\n“Right here, right now. I don’t care if we [i]are [/i]in the dojo. We’re gonna clear the air about this dance you’re doing with Donny,” Raph repeated stubbornly.\n\n“Would you care to elaborate?” Leo asked coolly.\n\n\t“Drop the act,” Raph growled. “Ya’ know exactly what I’m talking about. Don ain’t made a move his whole life without thinking about how you’ll feel about it or asking ya’ for guidance. Ya’ eat that shit up. Seeing me and Mikey getting some of his attention is doing a number on your head. Ya’ need to just come out and admit it.”\n\n\tDespite his misgivings about listening in, Don leaned closer to his laptop. He wished he could look into the dojo, it would have been helpful to see the body language his brothers’ were exhibiting.\n\n\t“My only concern over your interactions with Donny are that you two might be pushing him to do things against his will,” Leo shot back.\n\n\t“If that was the case, then why do ya’ suppose he’s telling ya’ that we ain’t doing that?” Raph asked.\n\n\t“Because he wants to avoid family conflict,” Leo said. “Because he cares so deeply about this family that he would do anything to preserve it.”\n\n\t“So would we all,” Raph said. “This family is all we got and probably all we’ll ever have. Sure, we got friends who are close as family, but they’re human. They’ve got choices. Ya’ had to know we’d change and need more from each other as we got older.”\n\n\tDon was actually surprised at how well Raph was holding it together. He was making his points in a cogent manner, standing firm without becoming overly aggressive. As long as he maintained that attitude, things wouldn’t escalate to an all-out fight. Raph might actually get Leo to talk to him.\n\n\t“I expected that maturity would put an end to rash acts,” Leo said, “not foster new ones.”\n\n\t“So I guess that means ya’ think we’re rutting like some unthinking animals,” Raph said with a snort. “Is that really what ya’ believe drives Mikey and me to have sex with Don? Ya’ can’t tell me that you’re immune to needs or desires, Leo. I know damn well how ya’ feel about Donny.”\n\n\t“That is not the point,” Leo said. “Apparently [i]Don [/i]is immune to both of those things because he’s expressed to me that he doesn’t think about sex.”\n\n\t“Maybe not, but he thinks about us. About [i]you[/i],” Raph stressed. “Donny is off the charts smart, Leo. He’s always working on stuff to make life easier for us, always with his head in the clouds figuring out some theory that we don’t understand and never will. Most of his projects wouldn’t make sense to anyone that wasn’t a damn genius.”\n\n\t“I’m well aware of that,” Leo said. “What has that to do . . . ?”\n\n\t“How the hell are we supposed to hold onto him?” Raph demanded, not allowing his brother to finish the question. “We can’t relate to his brain. Maybe he doesn’t see it yet, but Don needs this physical link as much as we do because if we don’t give him a connection to his emotional side, before long he won’t have one. He might as well be a robot who can’t communicate with us, off in some little world of his own making.”\n\n\tSwallowing thickly, Don blinked back the moisture in his eyes. He’d never heard Raphael speak in such an impassioned manner and it was all the more touching because his brother was talking about [i]him[/i].\n\n\t“We love Donny,” Mikey said quietly, as though fearful of calling attention to himself, but still needing to add to what Raph had said. “Maybe we’ve been pushy and demanding, but how else were we supposed to get through to him?”\n\n\t“He likes being close to us, Leo. He likes feeling as if he belongs,” Raph said. “Maybe sex with us ain’t at the top of his list of fun things to do, but afterwards, when we’re holding him, we can tell that closeness is . . . damn, I don’t know the right words. Don would know the right words.”\n\n\t“Sustaining him,” Leo said softly.\n\n\tDon placed a shaking hand to his mouth, choked up by how deeply his brothers cared for him. This seemed to be what they’d been trying to express to him all along, but Don couldn’t see past the sexual aspect of their liaisons.\n\n\t“Yeah, exactly,” Raph agreed. “We gotta anchor each other. When I pull Don into bed and make love to him, I know he’s right there with me a hundred percent. He may not find sex with me to be as great as I’d like, but while we’re together I’ve got someone, I’ve got [i]Don[/i], body and mind.”\n\n\t“Coming close to dying makes you think about your life,” Mikey said. “It makes you wonder why there isn’t more to it than just fighting and surviving. I want to be loved, Leo.”\n\n\t“I love you, Mikey. Father loves you,” Leo said.\n\n\t“I want more than that,” Mikey insisted. “I want the sex and what comes after. I want the affection and that feeling you get when you’re holding someone who’s become a part of you. Someone who really cares about your feelings, someone you know would put you before themselves, someone who would never betray you. Someone gentle and loving. I want Donny.”\n\n\t“We both do, Leo, and so do [i]you[/i],” Raph said. “Ya’ need to get over yourself. Ya’ can still be a leader and have a lover too.”\n\n\t“That doesn’t mean any of us have to be doing this to Donny,” Leo said. “It seems wrong to ask something of him that he isn’t willing to offer.”\n\n\t“Where the hell else are we supposed to go?” Raph asked. “Don’s the giver, he’s the one who’s used to taking care of our needs. This set up is the only one that makes sense. You’re the leader of this team, Leo. It’s your responsibility to make sure we’re mentally healthy, not just physically fit.”\n\n\tMikey chimed in. “He’s right, Leo. Maybe this option isn’t amongst Don’s top choices, but I think he’d rather we go to him with our needs than to try and find other outlets.”\n\n\tThe implication was there and though Don didn’t have a visual of the dojo, he could almost see it hanging like a physical thing in the air between his brothers.\n\n\t“If I can find the discipline to ignore my hormones, you should be able to do the same,” Leo said firmly. “This existence wasn’t our choice, but it’s one we have to live with and we do that best by respecting each other’s boundaries.”\n\n\t“Give me a break,” Raph said, sounding derisive. “This last week you’ve been strung a hell of a lot tighter than normal. Don’t give me the bullshit that you’re just worried about the Foot. You’re beating yourself up for what happened to us. Hell, I expected ya’ to do that even though you’ve been told that it ain’t your fault. Ya’ need to find a way to relax, Leo. Ya’ can’t function at that level for long because something’s gonna snap.”\n\n\t“I’m fine,” Leo said.\n\n\t“No you’re not,” Mikey chimed in. “You push too hard, both yourself and us. That’s when mistakes happen. You taught me that, bro’.”\n\n\t“When’s the last time ya’ jerked off, Leo?” Raph asked abruptly.\n\n\tDon gasped, unable to believe that Raph had just come out and asked that. He could almost see the aloof expression on Leo’s face.\n\n\t“That’s none of your business,” Leo answered, sounding taken aback. “It isn’t the sort of question you ask someone, Raph.”\n\n\t“I’d almost believe that ya’ don’t,” Raph said musingly. “I’ll bet ya’ can’t loosen up enough to take care of that kind of need.”\n\n\t“I meditate,” Leo said, his voice chilly.\n\n\t“Meditation ain’t the same as a good orgasm,” Raph said bluntly. “If you’re too uptight to jerk off, why don’t ya’ let Donny help with that? Maybe he ain’t overly enthusiastic about doing me and Mikey, but he’d leap at the chance to wrap his mitts around your dick.”\n\n\tDon’s hand fell away from his face and he slapped the table with it. He’d never expressed any such desire as that to Raph and his brother should not have stated it as a fact to Leo. It took tremendous willpower not to jump up from his chair and go directly to the dojo to confront Raph.\n\n\t“That was crude and uncalled for,” Leo replied, his tone now icy. “Some things are supposed to be private.”\n\n\t“Maybe so, but I don’t know why you’ve gotta act like you’re some kind of monk,” Raph said. “What’s the big deal? Don’s a scientist and our doctor, he’ll do ya’ and won’t care anymore than when he changes a bandage.”\n\n\t“That is not true,” Leo snapped. “You’re being boorish and disrespectful towards Donny. He deserves to be treated well; to be held in high esteem. I won’t stand for you speaking about him in a derogatory manner!”\n\n\tThat statement was met with silence. Don could almost hear his own heart thumping inside his chest as he waited for what might happen next.\n\n\t“Gonna fight for Don’s honor?” Raph asked smoothly, sounding like the cat who’d eaten the canary.\n\n\t“Geez Leo, you are so totally in love with Donny,” Mikey asked. “How come you won’t tell him? Are you afraid you can’t reach him on that pedestal you’ve got him up on?”\n\n\tRaph chuckled. “Two of a kind. Did ya’ know that Don’s got ya’ up on one of them pedestals too, Leo?”\n\n\t“Stop it,” Leo said. “I don’t know what your point was in coming in here to confront me about Don unless it was a way to rationalize what you two have been doing to him.”\n\n\t“Actually, I think Raph started this because he wants to know how you feel about Don,” Mikey said. “I figured it out already, but I wouldn’t mind hearing you admit it. Knowing that you want him won’t hurt Donny.”\n\n\tDon had to wonder about the interaction he’d had with Leo earlier in the kitchen. Was Mikey right? Did Leo want something more with Don but seeing his distress over the situation with Raph and Mikey had himself abandoned any hope of a relationship?\n\n\tThe thought that Leo had given up on having something so deeply meaningful with him was more disquieting than Don had imagined it would be.\n\n\tThere was a careful tone in Leo’s voice as he said, “If that were true, would it hurt [i]you[/i], Mikey? How about you, Raph? I’ve had concerns that at some point this [i]arrangement [/i]would engender a certain amount of jealousy between you two but I didn’t expect that you’d be jealous of me. Have either of you even stopped to think that I might have team considerations to think of?”\n\n\t“Nice flanking move,” Raph said. “Ya’ ain’t gonna draw us off target that easily, so I’ll admit to feeling jealous of how much Don values your opinion. Mikey?”\n\n\tThere was another pause and Don could almost visualize Raph staring expectantly at his younger brother.\n\n\t“I want Donny to like what I do with him,” Mikey said wistfully. “I don’t want him having second thoughts about it or worrying that Leo’s gonna think less of him because he has sex with me.”\n\n\tLeo responded quickly. “I have already told Don that . . . .” \n\n\tThe creak of the infirmary door startled Don and he missed the rest of Leo’s words. Looking up, Don saw Master Splinter coming towards him and quickly muted the sound on his laptop so that his father wouldn’t know he’d been eavesdropping. A quick flick of Don’s finger switched the monitor’s view so that it showed Raph’s medical chart.\n\n\t“May I join you, Donatello?” Master Splinter asked as he stopped next to Don’s table.\n\n\t“Of course, Sensei. I’ll get you a chair,” Don said, jumping up to grab an extra one and then pushed it up so that Master Splinter could sit near him.\n\n\t“Thank you,” Master Splinter said as he settled onto the seat. He waited for Don to sit down before speaking again. “How is it that your brothers are having a conversation which should concern you deeply and you are not in the room with them?”\n\n\tThe question caught Don off guard and he gaped at his father. “Th . . . that was Raph’s idea,” he stuttered. Clearing his throat, Don added, “He didn’t want me there.”\n\n\t“Because he felt that Leonardo would not answer his questions freely if you were present?” Master Splinter asked astutely.\n\n\tDon found it hard to meet his father’s eyes, so he looked at his laptop as he nodded, answering with a soft, “Yes.”\n\n\tFrom the corner of his eye, Don saw Master Splinter’s grip on his walking stick shift so that he was holding it more tightly. That was a good indication that his father was disturbed.\n\n\t“I had expected one of you boys to come to me with an explanation as to what has caused such turmoil between you,” Master Splinter said. “I am quite aware that Michelangelo’s supposed illness a few days ago was not a physical ailment.”\n\n\t“We didn’t want to worry you Father,” Don said.\n\n\t“You are certainly correct to have assumed I would worry over the fact that you have entered into a physical intimacy with two of your brothers,” Master Splinter said, looking steadily at Don.\n\n\tDon’s head jerked around so that he was staring at his father. For a second his mouth hung open in complete surprise. When he finally did speak, it was to stammer, “H . . . how . . . wh . . . what . . . when d . . . did you know?”\n\n\t“Soon after Raphael’s disposition began to fluctuate so radically from one day to the next,” Master Splinter said. “Your brother is a very physical being and awakened to his carnal side before any of the rest of you boys. I soon realized that without the use of his hands, he would be unable to satisfy certain needs. When the two of you became so secretive and his moods started to shift, I knew that he’d come to you for relief.”\n\n\t“I couldn’t turn him away,” Don said in an almost pleading tone.\n\n\t“Why not?” Master Splinter asked. It sounded like simple curiosity rather than an accusation, so Don took a moment to formulate how best to answer.\n\n\t“He needed me,” Don finally said. “You know his temperament. He was anxious and angry, but more than that, he was afraid. Afraid that he was going to lose the use of his hands, afraid that without him our team would be greatly disadvantaged. It seemed to me that relieving his tension in the manner he was most used to was better than his trying to fight the world while in a severely injured state.”\n\n\tMaster Splinter frowned. “You are not responsible for his actions. It is not up to you to mitigate Raphael’s conduct by performing acts that you find to be personally abhorrent.”\n\n\t“I don’t mind,” Don replied quickly. “It’s just a physical act.”\n\n\t“Do I not know you, Donatello?” Master Splinter asked rhetorically. “Do you not know me? Because we are such unique beings, by necessity our universe is small. As much as we may like to, we cannot keep secrets. It did not take long for me to discover that first Raphael and then Michelangelo was pushing you to engage in sexual activities which you did not enjoy. Did you think that I would not become concerned once I learned of this?”\n\n\t“We meant to tell you, Master Splinter. It’s just that we didn’t know how,” Don said miserably. “We’re still having trouble explaining it to Leo.”\n\n\t“Hence the drama taking place in the dojo,” Master Splinter said. “Leonardo appears to have strong misgivings about the pact you have entered into with two of your brothers. He will not be browbeaten into accepting your new relationship. There is much discord in this family as a result of the awakening of your brother’s carnal desires.”\n\n\t“Leo won’t lead a team that isn’t unified,” Donatello said, reading between the lines.\n\n\t“It is not only that, my son,” Master Splinter said, “though it must be taken into account. What Leonardo understands is that a family out of balance does not survive. Many things can affect mental health. To achieve harmony, one must have no feelings of resentment, no lack of trust, no fear of what one may be called upon to do. Raphael and Michelangelo appear to have no inhibitions with regards to establishing a sexual relationship with you, a brother. Just because doing so makes them happy does not mean that your feelings in the matter should be discounted or pushed aside.”\n\n\t“I don’t resent them for what they want,” Donatello averred. “When it first began I did feel as though I was being manipulated into performing acts that I had no interest in. If I’m being honest, there were things they asked me to do that caused me a great deal of consternation. I’ve slowly come to understand why they needed that from me and not each other. Now I’m finding true joy in the intimacy that comes with sex.”\n\n\tMaster Splinter studied him for a few minutes without saying anything. Finally he sighed. “I sense that despite your assurances, you still harbor a certain amount of reluctance with regards to these new activities.”\n\n\t“Only because of my concern for Leo’s qualms over the situation,” Don said. “And . . . and perhaps yours as well Father.”\n\n\t“Is that your way of asking if I am going to forbid your continuing sexual assignations?” Master Splinter asked.\n\n\tA part of Don’s mind hoped that his father would do so and that would somehow turn back time to a point when he and his brothers [i]were [/i]only brothers. Taking the decision out of his hands would make life a lot simpler.\n\n\tEven as he contemplated that thought, a memory entered Don’s head. It had to do with Michelangelo, and how his younger brother had whimpered in his sleep, calming when Don slipped back into bed with him. How many nights had Mikey fought the nightmares that had invaded his sleep, torturing a positive soul with evil negativity? How many nights had Don himself gone without sleep because he couldn’t settle his own mind?\n\n\tThe comfort that came from having Raph’s strong arms around him was immeasurable. The contentment Don felt at soothing Mikey’s dreams was incalculable. How could Donatello go back to the way things were when he knew how much better Raph and Mikey’s life would be by merely incorporating a sexual component to their existence?\n\n \t“Yes Sensei, it is,” Don answered.\n\n\tMaster Splinter confounded him by standing up. “That question is something for Leonardo and I to discuss. A consensus on the matter is something that should be reached by all of you before I can render a decision.”\n\n \tHis father was halfway to the door when Don found his voice. “Of course Master Splinter.”\n\n\tTurning at the doorway, Master Splinter said, “If you wish to influence Leonardo, it would be prudent for you to perform well during practice.”\n\n\tMaster Splinter left without waiting for Don to respond.\n\nThe conversation between his brothers and his talk with Master Splinter gave Donatello much to think about. Not the least was the fact that his father had not made a definitive pronouncement with regards to his wishes on the subject of three of his sons engaging in sexual intercourse with one another.\n\nLeo had said that Master Splinter would disapprove of his brothers exploiting Don for sexual favors. He’d argued with Raph and Mikey that their trying to hide their activities from Master Splinter meant they knew they were doing something that was wrong.\n\nWhat his oldest brother had not actually said was that Master Splinter would condemn the sex acts themselves. Was that because Leo didn’t know for certain that their father would put a stop to it or because he knew that Master Splinter would not do so as long as there was no force involved?\n\nThough Don wondered if his brothers were still engaged in conversation he no longer had a desire to listen to them. Rising from his chair, Don closed his laptop with a bang, feeling out of sorts.\n\nThere was still a couple of hours until practice was scheduled to begin and Don decided to turn his attentions to something he could control, rather than those he couldn’t. He saw no one as he left the infirmary and headed for the elevator, taking it up to the garage.\n\nTurning on the radio, Don reacquainted himself with where he’d left off working on the Battle Shell two days earlier. He’d found the source of the electrical problems and had begun splicing replacement wires into place, so he stepped into the back of the armored vehicle to continue the job.\n\nWhen the timer went off two hours later to alert Don that it was time to head down to practice, he’d had no visitors. After exiting the elevator, Don made a quick trip to the kitchen to wash his hands before going to the dojo.\n\nHaving no idea how his brothers’ conversation had ended, Don settled his face into a neutral expression in advance of entering their practice space. Master Splinter stood to one side, watching his sons go through their stretching exercises. Don saw that Mikey was teasing Raph while doing a handstand in front of his brother and noted that Leo seemed both amused and tolerant of his shenanigans.\n\nHoping that meant that their talk had ended well, Don took his place and quickly stretched his muscles before Master Splinter walked over to begin the practice session.\n\nDetermined to make a good showing, Don shoved his ongoing personal issues into a compartment of his brain, locking away all thoughts of the situation. To the forefront of his mind he focused entirely on everything he’d learned about ninjitsu.\n\nBy the time practice was over, Don had managed to outmaneuver Raph, thrash Mikey two out of three falls, and fight Leo to a draw. Hearing Master Splinter praise his performance had felt good, but receiving a small approving nod from Leo was better.\n\nThe banter at lunch was light hearted, another good sign. Though the discussion jumped from one subject to another, none of them touched on the thing that Don was most curious about. He had to wonder if all three of his brothers had decided that Don needn’t be privy to what they’d decided, if anything.\n\nFinding it rather irksome that they weren’t sharing information that directly related to him, Don ate his lunch quickly and excused himself, returning to his work on the Battle Shell. The compartment holding his thoughts about the changing relationship with his brothers was fully open again and Don was stewing over their seeming reticence on the subject.\n\nCaught up in a slowly building anger, Don didn’t realize he was no longer alone until a gruff voice asked, “Ya’ want some help with that?”\n\n“What’s it going to cost me?” Don snapped as he sat up from his spot beneath a control panel and faced Raphael.\n\nDon regretted the snarky question when he saw Raph’s eyes narrow and his mouth press into a thin line.\n\nInstead of lashing out as Don anticipated, Raph said quietly, “I guess I deserved that as much as that punch to the mouth ya’ gave me earlier.” He took a deep breath and released it. “How about we pretend this is just the two of us working on truck problems the way we used to and nothing else is going on?”\n\nClosing his eyes, Don counted to five to center himself, and then once more looked at Raph. “Okay, sorry. I could use the help.”\n\nWith a curt nod, Raph got to work. One of the things Donatello most liked about laboring alongside Raphael was how little guidance his brother needed when it came to mechanics. It was a shared common interest between them and before long their tension eased.\n\nIn a short time they were talking again, but both avoided the subject of sex. As curious as Don was about the dojo conversation, he refused to be the one to bring it up. He knew how he’d left things with Raph before his impulsive brother had decided to confront Leo. Don expected that Raph would understand that he’d want to know what had happened and would be forthcoming, but for some reason he wasn’t.\n\nThe sheer enjoyment of simply working alongside Raph soon erased both worry and the passage of time from Don’s mind. When Mikey appeared to announce that dinner was ready, the Battle Shell was fully operational again.\n\nAfter washing up, Don and Raph joined the rest of the family at the dinner table. Don had worried that the atmosphere would feel strained and was pleasantly surprised at how genial everyone seemed to be.\n\nThey were approaching the end of the meal when Raph suddenly said, “Don and me are gonna take the Battle Shell out for a spin. We’ve got her put back together again and need to do a live systems check.”\n\nIt was the first Don had heard of any such plan and he gave Raph an odd look. He didn’t get a chance to question Raph about his intentions because Leo had lowered his fork and was frowning at them.\n\n“Both the Foot and the Purple Dragons know what we drive,” Leo said.\n\nRaph bristled but kept his temper in check as he said, “We’re gonna stay far away from the Purple Dragons' territory and we’ll avoid all the places the Foot might be hanging out. We’re only going for a test drive.”\n\nLeo was on the verge of making a response when Master Splinter beat him to it. “I am aware that you must be suffering from cabin fever, so you two may go. I only ask that you adhere to the limitations you have set for yourselves and avoid trouble. If some should happen to find you, then please phone immediately.”\n\n“I installed an emergency beacon in the Battle Shell,” Don said. “If we encounter a problem, I’ll activate it. You’ll all get a signal on your shell cells that will tell you exactly where we are.”\n\nDon found it surprising that neither Leo nor Mikey offered to go with them. When he and Raph headed up to the garage, Don saw that Mikey had talked Leo into playing a video game with him.\n\nRaph darted ahead of Don and jumped into the driver’s seat, grinning as Don slid in on the passenger side.\n\n“I’m gonna give this baby a real test,” Raph said, looking cocky.\n\nRolling his eyes, Don replied, “Please don’t hit anything or exceed warp speed while you’re at it.”\n\nThey pulled out of the garage and Raph turned in the direction of the highway, apparently keeping his word to steer clear of their enemies. There was a fair amount of traffic on the road but Raph expertly maneuvered through it, holding to just over the speed limit to avoid the notice of any police patrols.\n\nAfter a while Don became puzzled as Raph drove farther from their home and the inner city itself. He didn’t ask where Raph was going, intent on allowing his brother to keep to himself what was no doubt meant to be a surprise.\n\nSettling back in the seat, Don relaxed and watched the world go past his window. It was nice to be out of the lair and away from the oppressive aura that had settled over it as of late.\n\nBefore long Don spotted a sign announcing that they were entering the gateway into the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and straightened in his seat. It was a place Don had long wanted to visit, but had never had the chance.\n\n“Ya’ talk a lot about wanting to go here,” Raph said quietly. “Figured it’d be nice to check it out when there’s a full moon and no one else around. Maybe we’ll see some of those turtles ya’ said live around here.”\n\n“I never thought you paid any attention when I was talking about the places I wanted to visit,” Don said.\n\n“I know all of them, Donny. Maybe I don’t let on that I wish ya’ could go anywhere you’d like, but I do want that for ya’,” Raph said.\n\nThey progressed a little ways into the park before Raph pulled off the paved road and followed a path marked ‘park personnel only’. When he reached a locked gate, he left the Battle Shell idling and jumped out to pick the lock, throwing the gate open. After he pulled past the gate, he went back to close it behind them.\n\nThe bumpy path took them near the water and Raph parked the Battle Shell, remaining far from the soft sand beach so they wouldn’t get stuck.\n\n“Come on, let’s check out the view,” Raph said as he exited the truck.\n\nDon followed quickly, eager to stand on the beach and look out over the wide expanse of one of two man-made ponds in the park. He joined Raph on the sand, taking in the beauty of the water as the full moon reflected off of its surface.\n\n“Did you know that approximately seventy species of bird nest at the refuge?” Don asked softly. “It’s awe inspiring.”\n\n“So are ya’ Donny,” Raph said, turning to face his brother. “I know you’ve gotta be wondering what me and Leo said to each other but ya’ haven’t asked. I appreciate ya’ giving me time to sort through how I’m feeling.”\n\n“I knew you’d talk about it when you were ready,” Don responded.\n\n“Yeah, well I wasn’t gonna be ready while I was cooped up at the lair,” Raph said. “Can I just tell ya’ that I love ya’ and that I made sure Leo knows that I do? I kinda think he needed to hear that so he’d know I wasn’t using ya’.”\n\n“He wasn’t opposed to us being together,” Don said, “only to the idea that I wasn’t a willing partner. It wasn’t necessary to corner him and demand answers.”\n\nOne side of Raph’s mouth lifted. “It was for me. I don’t mind sharing ya’ Donny, but I sure as hell ain’t giving ya’ up ‘cause someone else can’t.”\n\nDon frowned. “Mikey doesn’t have a problem with sharing, does he?”\n\nRaph lifted a hand to Don’s face, cupping his cheek gently. There was a softness in his expression that Don had never seen before. “No, not Mikey. Let’s forget about that for now, okay? There’s a big, bright moon over our heads and smooth sand under our feet. How about we try to enjoy it? We can make a memory here that’ll last a lifetime.”\n\nGiving Don no time for further questions, Raph stepped in close, wrapping one arm around Don’s shell and curving the other behind his brother’s neck. His lips pressed against Don’s and Raph emitted a satisfied grunt when Don responded by opening his mouth.\n\nA feeling of complete ease washed over Don as he allowed himself to experience the kiss without his usual inhibitions. There was a level of romance in Raph’s actions that Don found endearing and he decided to make the experience as memorable as he could for his brother.\n\nWhen Raph urged him down on the sand, Don tossed his bō staff aside and lay back without argument. Raph’s sai soon followed and then he swiftly removed his own belt before working at the knot on Don’s, pushing the material aside once it was loose.\n\nRaph leaned in to ply Don’s mouth with another more urgent kiss, and then his mouth fell to Don’s neck. Kissing his way down to Don’s collar bone, Raph lightly bit him, sending a wave of pleasure through the genius’ system. Don’s churr was followed by one of Raph’s, who then bit him a little harder, making Don’s hips grind against the sand.\n\nMoving his mouth to Don’s center front line, Raph began kissing his way downward, sometimes pressing his tongue into the gap between Don’s scutes. The feeling was overwhelmingly erotic and Don soon spread his legs in anticipation.\n\nDon panted as he watched Raph dig into his belt which lay on the sand next to them and retrieve the bottle of anal lubricant he’d brought along. Since he didn’t believe that there had been time for Raph to find where Don had hidden the lube in the infirmary, he figured it was the bottle from Mikey’s room.\n\nRather than opening the lube right away, Raph left it lying in the sand and returned to lavishing Don’s body with his kisses. When he finally reached the spot between Don’s legs that housed the softer cartilage, the bottoming turtle could barely contain his erection.\n\n“Drop down Donny,” Raph ordered in a guttural tone, massaging Don’s tail with one hand.\n\nA combination of Raph’s vocal vibrations and the tantalizing feel of his tail being teased caused Don’s cock to make an appearance. As soon as it was in the open, Raph kissed the shaft and then licked his way to the tip, making Don’s cock swell quickly.\n\nRaph swallowed his brother’s cock in one long, tight motion, the feeling so enticing that Don barely registered the fact that Raph’s hand had left his tail. The sound of the lube bottle popping open was drowned out by Don’s churrs as Raph’s tongue curved around his shaft.\n\nAs Raph lapped at the head of Don’s cock, his questing hand found its way under the genius’ tail. Raph must have used a fair amount of lubricant because Don barely felt his brother’s finger work its way inside of him.\n\n“Damn, ya’ taste good Donny,” Raph husked, twirling his tongue in Don’s pre-cum. “I want ya’ to fill my mouth with your jizz. Can ya’ do that for me lover?”\n\nDon moaned, unable to answer as Raph’s finger twisted inside of him and touched off fireworks in his groin. When Raph pulled his finger out, Don’s groan of protest made him chuckle.\n\n“Give me a second,” Raph said, coating his fingers with lube before returning two of them to Don’s ass. After barely breaching Don’s entrance with the tips of two fingers, Raph stopped and glanced up, making sure that Don’s was looking at him.\n\n“I want ya’ to guide me with your hands on my head, Donny. Ya’ tell me how fast ya’ want me to suck ya’ off,” Raph said, his voice husky with need. “You’re gonna cum in my mouth ‘cause I want ya’ to. Don’t hold back. It’s all about your pleasure.”\n\nHis voice shaky, Don said, “Okay.”\n\nLowering his mouth to Don’s cock once more, Raph began to lavish it with attention, stimulating the tip with his tongue while using his free hand to rub up and down on the shaft. Holding Don’s cock upright, Raph moved the head over his lips as though painting them with his brother’s pre, sending delicious spasms throughout Don’s lower regions.\n\nDon shivered as Raph began to push both fingers into him, slithering them all of the way inside. The feeling of Raph’s tongue flicking his frenulum pulled Don’s attention back to his brother’s blow job and he lowered his hands to the sides of Raph’s head to guide him.\n\nGently sliding the surface of his teeth along Don’s shaft, Raph followed the hint of roughness with the smooth stroke of his tongue. Scissoring his fingers inside Don’s ass, Raph began to turn his hand while alternately pulling back and pushing in again.\n\nWith his mouth fully engulfing Don’s cock, Raph paused, waiting for Don to direct his motion. Realizing that he’d been holding his breath, Don released it with an audible huff and lifted Raph’s head with his hands.\n\nThe sensation of Raph’s fingers inside of him and a hot mouth on his dick had Don quickly spiraling towards his peak. Urging Raph to move faster established a rhythmic friction and Donatello pressed his head into the sand, grimacing as the fire in his loins became overpowering.\n\nJust as Don teetered on the edge of release, Raph’s fingers brushed against his prostate. The jolt sent Don into a shuddering climax, his keening cry echoing in the night air.\n\nAs he’d promised, Raph swallowed his cum, taking his hand from Don’s ass so that he could hold Don’s legs in place as he licked off every sticky trace. Don’s hands fell to the sand, his eyes wide and unseeing as he gasped for air.\n\nVery vaguely Don felt Raph crawl atop him and shift his hips into a favorable position. Raph’s turgid cock entered him then, sliding into Don’s ass in one smooth motion. Though not nearly as painful as the first time, it still stung enough to pull Don back into the moment.\n\nLooking up at the stars, Don’s body rocked in the sand as Raph drove into him. Bending his knees, Don pressed his heels into the sand and pushed into each of Raph’s thrusts, taking his brother’s cock deep into his body.\n\nMoving hard and fast, Raph rutted into Don, grunting with his efforts. It did not take long before Raph climaxed, shouting Don’s name as he pumped semen into him.\n\nBreathing heavily, Raph rolled off of his brother and fell on the sand next to him. After a minute, he stretched his arm along the sand and said, “Come here.”\n\nDon crawled up next to him, placing an arm over Raph’s chest as his brother’s arm curved around his shoulders. Together they lay beneath the bright moon, neither saying a word.\n\nWrapped in Raph's arms, Don knew that this was what he'd been missing; this feeling of being so loved and so cherished. It had taken several false starts for Raph to finally find a way to convey that it wasn't about the sex, but about the way sex brought them such closeness.\n\nTears stung the corners of Don's eyes and he held Raph even tighter, determined to show his brother as much devotion as Raph had shown him. Maybe everything at home wasn’t settled just yet, but in this quiet moment, Donatello pretended that it was.\n\nTBC………….", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tSounding adamant, Leo responded to Raph’s statement by saying, “That’s not an issue that should be discussed in the place where we train.”

“Right here, right now.  I don’t care if we are in the dojo.  We’re gonna clear the air about this dance you’re doing with Donny,” Raph repeated stubbornly.

“Would you care to elaborate?” Leo asked coolly.

\t“Drop the act,” Raph growled.  “Ya’ know exactly what I’m talking about.  Don ain’t made a move his whole life without thinking about how you’ll feel about it or asking ya’ for guidance.  Ya’ eat that shit up.  Seeing me and Mikey getting some of his attention is doing a number on your head.  Ya’ need to just come out and admit it.”

\tDespite his misgivings about listening in, Don leaned closer to his laptop.  He wished he could look into the dojo, it would have been helpful to see the body language his brothers’ were exhibiting.

\t“My only concern over your interactions with Donny are that you two might be pushing him to do things against his will,” Leo shot back.

\t“If that was the case, then why do ya’ suppose he’s telling ya’ that we ain’t doing that?” Raph asked.

\t“Because he wants to avoid family conflict,” Leo said.  “Because he cares so deeply about this family that he would do anything to preserve it.”

\t“So would we all,” Raph said.  “This family is all we got and probably all we’ll ever have.  Sure, we got friends who are close as family, but they’re human.  They’ve got choices.  Ya’ had to know we’d change and need more from each other as we got older.”

\tDon was actually surprised at how well Raph was holding it together.  He was making his points in a cogent manner, standing firm without becoming overly aggressive.  As long as he maintained that attitude, things wouldn’t escalate to an all-out fight.  Raph might actually get Leo to talk to him.

\t“I expected that maturity would put an end to rash acts,” Leo said, “not foster new ones.”

\t“So I guess that means ya’ think we’re rutting like some unthinking animals,” Raph said with a snort.  “Is that really what ya’ believe drives Mikey and me to have sex with Don?  Ya’ can’t tell me that you’re immune to needs or desires, Leo.  I know damn well how ya’ feel about Donny.”

\t“That is not the point,” Leo said.  “Apparently Don is immune to both of those things because he’s expressed to me that he doesn’t think about sex.”

\t“Maybe not, but he thinks about us.  About you,” Raph stressed.  “Donny is off the charts smart, Leo.  He’s always working on stuff to make life easier for us, always with his head in the clouds figuring out some theory that we don’t understand and never will.  Most of his projects wouldn’t make sense to anyone that wasn’t a damn genius.”

\t“I’m well aware of that,” Leo said.  “What has that to do . . . ?”

\t“How the hell are we supposed to hold onto him?” Raph demanded, not allowing his brother to finish the question.  “We can’t relate to his brain.  Maybe he doesn’t see it yet, but Don needs this physical link as much as we do because if we don’t give him a connection to his emotional side, before long he won’t have one.  He might as well be a robot who can’t communicate with us, off in some little world of his own making.”

\tSwallowing thickly, Don blinked back the moisture in his eyes.  He’d never heard Raphael speak in such an impassioned manner and it was all the more touching because his brother was talking about him.

\t“We love Donny,” Mikey said quietly, as though fearful of calling attention to himself, but still needing to add to what Raph had said.  “Maybe we’ve been pushy and demanding, but how else were we supposed to get through to him?”

\t“He likes being close to us, Leo.  He likes feeling as if he belongs,” Raph said.  “Maybe sex with us ain’t at the top of his list of fun things to do, but afterwards, when we’re holding him, we can tell that closeness is . . . damn, I don’t know the right words.  Don would know the right words.”

\t“Sustaining him,” Leo said softly.

\tDon placed a shaking hand to his mouth, choked up by how deeply his brothers cared for him.  This seemed to be what they’d been trying to express to him all along, but Don couldn’t see past the sexual aspect of their liaisons.

\t“Yeah, exactly,” Raph agreed.  “We gotta anchor each other.  When I pull Don into bed and make love to him, I know he’s right there with me a hundred percent.  He may not find sex with me to be as great as I’d like, but while we’re together I’ve got someone, I’ve got Don, body and mind.”

\t“Coming close to dying makes you think about your life,” Mikey said.  “It makes you wonder why there isn’t more to it than just fighting and surviving.  I want to be loved, Leo.”

\t“I love you, Mikey.  Father loves you,” Leo said.

\t“I want more than that,” Mikey insisted.  “I want the sex and what comes after.  I want the affection and that feeling you get when you’re holding someone who’s become a part of you.  Someone who really cares about your feelings, someone you know would put you before themselves, someone who would never betray you.  Someone gentle and loving.  I want Donny.”

\t“We both do, Leo, and so do you,” Raph said.  “Ya’ need to get over yourself.  Ya’ can still be a leader and have a lover too.”

\t“That doesn’t mean any of us have to be doing this to Donny,” Leo said.  “It seems wrong to ask something of him that he isn’t willing to offer.”

\t“Where the hell else are we supposed to go?” Raph asked.  “Don’s the giver, he’s the one who’s used to taking care of our needs.  This set up is the only one that makes sense.  You’re the leader of this team, Leo.  It’s your responsibility to make sure we’re mentally healthy, not just physically fit.”

\tMikey chimed in.  “He’s right, Leo.  Maybe this option isn’t amongst Don’s top choices, but I think he’d rather we go to him with our needs than to try and find other outlets.”

\tThe implication was there and though Don didn’t have a visual of the dojo, he could almost see it hanging like a physical thing in the air between his brothers.

\t“If I can find the discipline to ignore my hormones, you should be able to do the same,” Leo said firmly.  “This existence wasn’t our choice, but it’s one we have to live with and we do that best by respecting each other’s boundaries.”

\t“Give me a break,” Raph said, sounding derisive.  “This last week you’ve been strung a hell of a lot tighter than normal.  Don’t give me the bullshit that you’re just worried about the Foot.  You’re beating yourself up for what happened to us.  Hell, I expected ya’ to do that even though you’ve been told that it ain’t your fault.  Ya’ need to find a way to relax, Leo.  Ya’ can’t function at that level for long because something’s gonna snap.”

\t“I’m fine,” Leo said.

\t“No you’re not,” Mikey chimed in.  “You push too hard, both yourself and us.  That’s when mistakes happen.  You taught me that, bro’.”

\t“When’s the last time ya’ jerked off, Leo?” Raph asked abruptly.

\tDon gasped, unable to believe that Raph had just come out and asked that.  He could almost see the aloof expression on Leo’s face.

\t“That’s none of your business,” Leo answered, sounding taken aback. “It isn’t the sort of question you ask someone, Raph.”

\t“I’d almost believe that ya’ don’t,” Raph said musingly.  “I’ll bet ya’ can’t loosen up enough to take care of that kind of need.”

\t“I meditate,” Leo said, his voice chilly.

\t“Meditation ain’t the same as a good orgasm,” Raph said bluntly.  “If you’re too uptight to jerk off, why don’t ya’ let Donny help with that?  Maybe he ain’t overly enthusiastic about doing me and Mikey, but he’d leap at the chance to wrap his mitts around your dick.”

\tDon’s hand fell away from his face and he slapped the table with it.  He’d never expressed any such desire as that to Raph and his brother should not have stated it as a fact to Leo.  It took tremendous willpower not to jump up from his chair and go directly to the dojo to confront Raph.

\t“That was crude and uncalled for,” Leo replied, his tone now icy.  “Some things are supposed to be private.”

\t“Maybe so, but I don’t know why you’ve gotta act like you’re some kind of monk,” Raph said.  “What’s the big deal?  Don’s a scientist and our doctor, he’ll do ya’ and won’t care anymore than when he changes a bandage.”

\t“That is not true,” Leo snapped.  “You’re being boorish and disrespectful towards Donny.  He deserves to be treated well; to be held in high esteem.  I won’t stand for you speaking about him in a derogatory manner!”

\tThat statement was met with silence.  Don could almost hear his own heart thumping inside his chest as he waited for what might happen next.

\t“Gonna fight for Don’s honor?” Raph asked smoothly, sounding like the cat who’d eaten the canary.

\t“Geez Leo, you are so totally in love with Donny,” Mikey asked.  “How come you won’t tell him?  Are you afraid you can’t reach him on that pedestal you’ve got him up on?”

\tRaph chuckled.  “Two of a kind.  Did ya’ know that Don’s got ya’ up on one of them pedestals too, Leo?”

\t“Stop it,” Leo said.  “I don’t know what your point was in coming in here to confront me about Don unless it was a way to rationalize what you two have been doing to him.”

\t“Actually, I think Raph started this because he wants to know how you feel about Don,” Mikey said.  “I figured it out already, but I wouldn’t mind hearing you admit it.  Knowing that you want him won’t hurt Donny.”

\tDon had to wonder about the interaction he’d had with Leo earlier in the kitchen.  Was Mikey right?  Did Leo want something more with Don but seeing his distress over the situation with Raph and Mikey had himself abandoned any hope of a relationship?

\tThe thought that Leo had given up on having something so deeply meaningful with him was more disquieting than Don had imagined it would be.

\tThere was a careful tone in Leo’s voice as he said, “If that were true, would it hurt you, Mikey?  How about you, Raph?  I’ve had concerns that at some point this arrangement would engender a certain amount of jealousy between you two but I didn’t expect that you’d be jealous of me.  Have either of you even stopped to think that I might have team considerations to think of?”

\t“Nice flanking move,” Raph said.  “Ya’ ain’t gonna draw us off target that easily, so I’ll admit to feeling jealous of how much Don values your opinion.  Mikey?”

\tThere was another pause and Don could almost visualize Raph staring expectantly at his younger brother.

\t“I want Donny to like what I do with him,” Mikey said wistfully.  “I don’t want him having second thoughts about it or worrying that Leo’s gonna think less of him because he has sex with me.”

\tLeo responded quickly.  “I have already told Don that . . . .”

\tThe creak of the infirmary door startled Don and he missed the rest of Leo’s words.  Looking up, Don saw Master Splinter coming towards him and quickly muted the sound on his laptop so that his father wouldn’t know he’d been eavesdropping.  A quick flick of Don’s finger switched the monitor’s view so that it showed Raph’s medical chart.

\t“May I join you, Donatello?” Master Splinter asked as he stopped next to Don’s table.

\t“Of course, Sensei.  I’ll get you a chair,” Don said, jumping up to grab an extra one and then pushed it up so that Master Splinter could sit near him.

\t“Thank you,” Master Splinter said as he settled onto the seat.  He waited for Don to sit down before speaking again.  “How is it that your brothers are having a conversation which should concern you deeply and you are not in the room with them?”

\tThe question caught Don off guard and he gaped at his father.  “Th  . . . that was Raph’s idea,” he stuttered.  Clearing his throat, Don added, “He didn’t want me there.”

\t“Because he felt that Leonardo would not answer his questions freely if you were present?” Master Splinter asked astutely.

\tDon found it hard to meet his father’s eyes, so he looked at his laptop as he nodded, answering with a soft, “Yes.”

\tFrom the corner of his eye, Don saw Master Splinter’s grip on his walking stick shift so that he was holding it more tightly.  That was a good indication that his father was disturbed.

\t“I had expected one of you boys to come to me with an explanation as to what has caused such turmoil between you,” Master Splinter said.  “I am quite aware that Michelangelo’s supposed illness a few days ago was not a physical ailment.”

\t“We didn’t want to worry you Father,” Don said.

\t“You are certainly correct to have assumed I would worry over the fact that you have entered into a physical intimacy with two of your brothers,” Master Splinter said, looking steadily at Don.

\tDon’s head jerked around so that he was staring at his father.  For a second his mouth hung open in complete surprise.  When he finally did speak, it was to stammer, “H . . . how . . . wh . . . what . . . when d . . . did you know?”

\t“Soon after Raphael’s disposition began to fluctuate so radically from one day to the next,” Master Splinter said.  “Your brother is a very physical being and awakened to his carnal side before any of the rest of you boys.  I soon realized that without the use of his hands, he would be unable to satisfy certain needs.  When the two of you became so secretive and his moods started to shift, I knew that he’d come to you for relief.”

\t“I couldn’t turn him away,” Don said in an almost pleading tone.

\t“Why not?” Master Splinter asked.  It sounded like simple curiosity rather than an accusation, so Don took a moment to formulate how best to answer.

\t“He needed me,” Don finally said.  “You know his temperament.  He was anxious and angry, but more than that, he was afraid.  Afraid that he was going to lose the use of his hands, afraid that without him our team would be greatly disadvantaged.  It seemed to me that relieving his tension in the manner he was most used to was better than his trying to fight the world while in a severely injured state.”

\tMaster Splinter frowned.  “You are not responsible for his actions.  It is not up to you to mitigate Raphael’s conduct by performing acts that you find to be personally abhorrent.”

\t“I don’t mind,” Don replied quickly.  “It’s just a physical act.”

\t“Do I not know you, Donatello?” Master Splinter asked rhetorically.  “Do you not know me?  Because we are such unique beings, by necessity our universe is small.  As much as we may like to, we cannot keep secrets.  It did not take long for me to discover that first Raphael and then Michelangelo was pushing you to engage in sexual activities which you did not enjoy.  Did you think that I would not become concerned once I learned of this?”

\t“We meant to tell you, Master Splinter.  It’s just that we didn’t know how,” Don said miserably.  “We’re still having trouble explaining it to Leo.”

\t“Hence the drama taking place in the dojo,” Master Splinter said.  “Leonardo appears to have strong misgivings about the pact you have entered into with two of your brothers.  He will not be browbeaten into accepting your new relationship.  There is much discord in this family as a result of the awakening of your brother’s carnal desires.”

\t“Leo won’t lead a team that isn’t unified,” Donatello said, reading between the lines.

\t“It is not only that, my son,” Master Splinter said, “though it must be taken into account.  What Leonardo understands is that a family out of balance does not survive.  Many things can affect mental health.  To achieve harmony, one must have no feelings of resentment, no lack of trust, no fear of what one may be called upon to do.  Raphael and Michelangelo appear to have no inhibitions with regards to establishing a sexual relationship with you, a brother.  Just because doing so makes them happy does not mean that your feelings in the matter should be discounted or pushed aside.”

\t“I don’t resent them for what they want,” Donatello averred.  “When it first began I did feel as though I was being manipulated into performing acts that I had no interest in.  If I’m being honest, there were things they asked me to do that caused me a great deal of consternation.  I’ve slowly come to understand why they needed that from me and not each other.  Now I’m finding true joy in the intimacy that comes with sex.”

\tMaster Splinter studied him for a few minutes without saying anything.  Finally he sighed.  “I sense that despite your assurances, you still harbor a certain amount of reluctance with regards to these new activities.”

\t“Only because of my concern for Leo’s qualms over the situation,” Don said.  “And . . . and perhaps yours as well Father.”

\t“Is that your way of asking if I am going to forbid your continuing sexual assignations?” Master Splinter asked.

\tA part of Don’s mind hoped that his father would do so and that would somehow turn back time to a point when he and his brothers were only brothers.  Taking the decision out of his hands would make life a lot simpler.

\tEven as he contemplated that thought, a memory entered Don’s head.  It had to do with Michelangelo, and how his younger brother had whimpered in his sleep, calming when Don slipped back into bed with him.  How many nights had Mikey fought the nightmares that had invaded his sleep, torturing a positive soul with evil negativity?  How many nights had Don himself gone without sleep because he couldn’t settle his own mind?

\tThe comfort that came from having Raph’s strong arms around him was immeasurable.  The contentment Don felt at soothing Mikey’s dreams was incalculable.  How could Donatello go back to the way things were when he knew how much better Raph and Mikey’s life would be by merely incorporating a sexual component to their existence?

 \t“Yes Sensei, it is,” Don answered.

\tMaster Splinter confounded him by standing up.  “That question is something for Leonardo and I to discuss.  A consensus on the matter is something that should be reached by all of you before I can render a decision.”

 \tHis father was halfway to the door when Don found his voice.  “Of course Master Splinter.”

\tTurning at the doorway, Master Splinter said, “If you wish to influence Leonardo, it would be prudent for you to perform well during practice.”

\tMaster Splinter left without waiting for Don to respond.

The conversation between his brothers and his talk with Master Splinter gave Donatello much to think about.  Not the least was the fact that his father had not made a definitive pronouncement with regards to his wishes on the subject of three of his sons engaging in sexual intercourse with one another.

Leo had said that Master Splinter would disapprove of his brothers exploiting Don for sexual favors.  He’d argued with Raph and Mikey that their trying to hide their activities from Master Splinter meant they knew they were doing something that was wrong.

What his oldest brother had not actually said was that Master Splinter would condemn the sex acts themselves.  Was that because Leo didn’t know for certain that their father would put a stop to it or because he knew that Master Splinter would not do so as long as there was no force involved?

Though Don wondered if his brothers were still engaged in conversation he no longer had a desire to listen to them.  Rising from his chair, Don closed his laptop with a bang, feeling out of sorts.

There was still a couple of hours until practice was scheduled to begin and Don decided to turn his attentions to something he could control, rather than those he couldn’t.  He saw no one as he left the infirmary and headed for the elevator, taking it up to the garage.

Turning on the radio, Don reacquainted himself with where he’d left off working on the Battle Shell two days earlier.  He’d found the source of the electrical problems and had begun splicing replacement wires into place, so he stepped into the back of the armored vehicle to continue the job.

When the timer went off two hours later to alert Don that it was time to head down to practice, he’d had no visitors.  After exiting the elevator, Don made a quick trip to the kitchen to wash his hands before going to the dojo.

Having no idea how his brothers’ conversation had ended, Don settled his face into a neutral expression in advance of entering their practice space.  Master Splinter stood to one side, watching his sons go through their stretching exercises.  Don saw that Mikey was teasing Raph while doing a handstand in front of his brother and noted that Leo seemed both amused and tolerant of his shenanigans.

Hoping that meant that their talk had ended well, Don took his place and quickly stretched his muscles before Master Splinter walked over to begin the practice session.

Determined to make a good showing, Don shoved his ongoing personal issues into a compartment of his brain, locking away all thoughts of the situation.  To the forefront of his mind he focused entirely on everything he’d learned about ninjitsu.

By the time practice was over, Don had managed to outmaneuver Raph, thrash Mikey two out of three falls, and fight Leo to a draw.  Hearing Master Splinter praise his performance had felt good, but receiving a small approving nod from Leo was better.

The banter at lunch was light hearted, another good sign.  Though the discussion jumped from one subject to another, none of them touched on the thing that Don was most curious about.  He had to wonder if all three of his brothers had decided that Don needn’t be privy to what they’d decided, if anything.

Finding it rather irksome that they weren’t sharing information that directly related to him, Don ate his lunch quickly and excused himself, returning to his work on the Battle Shell.  The compartment holding his thoughts about the changing relationship with his brothers was fully open again and Don was stewing over their seeming reticence on the subject.

Caught up in a slowly building anger, Don didn’t realize he was no longer alone until a gruff voice asked, “Ya’ want some help with that?”

“What’s it going to cost me?” Don snapped as he sat up from his spot beneath a control panel and faced Raphael.

Don regretted the snarky question when he saw Raph’s eyes narrow and his mouth press into a thin line.

Instead of lashing out as Don anticipated, Raph said quietly, “I guess I deserved that as much as that punch to the mouth ya’ gave me earlier.”  He took a deep breath and released it.  “How about we pretend this is just the two of us working on truck problems the way we used to and nothing else is going on?”

Closing his eyes, Don counted to five to center himself, and then once more looked at Raph.  “Okay, sorry.  I could use the help.”

With a curt nod, Raph got to work.  One of the things Donatello most liked about laboring alongside Raphael was how little guidance his brother needed when it came to mechanics.  It was a shared common interest between them and before long their tension eased.

In a short time they were talking again, but both avoided the subject of sex.  As curious as Don was about the dojo conversation, he refused to be the one to bring it up.  He knew how he’d left things with Raph before his impulsive brother had decided to confront Leo.  Don expected that Raph would understand that he’d want to know what had happened and would be forthcoming, but for some reason he wasn’t.

The sheer enjoyment of simply working alongside Raph soon erased both worry and the passage of time from Don’s mind.  When Mikey appeared to announce that dinner was ready, the Battle Shell was fully operational again.

After washing up, Don and Raph joined the rest of the family at the dinner table.  Don had worried that the atmosphere would feel strained and was pleasantly surprised at how genial everyone seemed to be.

They were approaching the end of the meal when Raph suddenly said, “Don and me are gonna take the Battle Shell out for a spin.  We’ve got her put back together again and need to do a live systems check.”

It was the first Don had heard of any such plan and he gave Raph an odd look.  He didn’t get a chance to question Raph about his intentions because Leo had lowered his fork and was frowning at them.

“Both the Foot and the Purple Dragons know what we drive,” Leo said.

Raph bristled but kept his temper in check as he said, “We’re gonna stay far away from the Purple Dragons' territory and we’ll avoid all the places the Foot might be hanging out.  We’re only going for a test drive.”

Leo was on the verge of making a response when Master Splinter beat him to it.  “I am aware that you must be suffering from cabin fever, so you two may go.  I only ask that you adhere to the limitations you have set for yourselves and avoid trouble.  If some should happen to find you, then please phone immediately.”

“I installed an emergency beacon in the Battle Shell,” Don said.  “If we encounter a problem, I’ll activate it.  You’ll all get a signal on your shell cells that will tell you exactly where we are.”

Don found it surprising that neither Leo nor Mikey offered to go with them.  When he and Raph headed up to the garage, Don saw that Mikey had talked Leo into playing a video game with him.

Raph darted ahead of Don and jumped into the driver’s seat, grinning as Don slid in on the passenger side.

“I’m gonna give this baby a real test,” Raph said, looking cocky.

Rolling his eyes, Don replied, “Please don’t hit anything or exceed warp speed while you’re at it.”

They pulled out of the garage and Raph turned in the direction of the highway, apparently keeping his word to steer clear of their enemies.  There was a fair amount of traffic on the road but Raph expertly maneuvered through it, holding to just over the speed limit to avoid the notice of any police patrols.

After a while Don became puzzled as Raph drove farther from their home and the inner city itself.  He didn’t ask where Raph was going, intent on allowing his brother to keep to himself what was no doubt meant to be a surprise.

Settling back in the seat, Don relaxed and watched the world go past his window.  It was nice to be out of the lair and away from the oppressive aura that had settled over it as of late.

Before long Don spotted a sign announcing that they were entering the gateway into the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge and straightened in his seat.  It was a place Don had long wanted to visit, but had never had the chance.

“Ya’ talk a lot about wanting to go here,” Raph said quietly.  “Figured it’d be nice to check it out when there’s a full moon and no one else around.  Maybe we’ll see some of those turtles ya’ said live around here.”

“I never thought you paid any attention when I was talking about the places I wanted to visit,” Don said.

“I know all of them, Donny.  Maybe I don’t let on that I wish ya’ could go anywhere you’d like, but I do want that for ya’,” Raph said.

They progressed a little ways into the park before Raph pulled off the paved road and followed a path marked ‘park personnel only’.  When he reached a locked gate, he left the Battle Shell idling and jumped out to pick the lock, throwing the gate open.  After he pulled past the gate, he went back to close it behind them.

The bumpy path took them near the water and Raph parked the Battle Shell, remaining far from the soft sand beach so they wouldn’t get stuck.

“Come on, let’s check out the view,” Raph said as he exited the truck.

Don followed quickly, eager to stand on the beach and look out over the wide expanse of one of two man-made ponds in the park.  He joined Raph on the sand, taking in the beauty of the water as the full moon reflected off of its surface.

“Did you know that approximately seventy species of bird nest at the refuge?” Don asked softly.  “It’s awe inspiring.”

“So are ya’ Donny,” Raph said, turning to face his brother.  “I know you’ve gotta be wondering what me and Leo said to each other but ya’ haven’t asked.  I appreciate ya’ giving me time to sort through how I’m feeling.”

“I knew you’d talk about it when you were ready,” Don responded.

“Yeah, well I wasn’t gonna be ready while I was cooped up at the lair,” Raph said.  “Can I just tell ya’ that I love ya’ and that I made sure Leo knows that I do?  I kinda think he needed to hear that so he’d know I wasn’t using ya’.”

“He wasn’t opposed to us being together,” Don said, “only to the idea that I wasn’t a willing partner.  It wasn’t necessary to corner him and demand answers.”

One side of Raph’s mouth lifted.  “It was for me.  I don’t mind sharing ya’ Donny, but I sure as hell ain’t giving ya’ up ‘cause someone else can’t.”

Don frowned.  “Mikey doesn’t have a problem with sharing, does he?”

Raph lifted a hand to Don’s face, cupping his cheek gently.  There was a softness in his expression that Don had never seen before.  “No, not Mikey.  Let’s forget about that for now, okay?  There’s a big, bright moon over our heads and smooth sand under our feet.  How about we try to enjoy it?  We can make a memory here that’ll last a lifetime.”

Giving Don no time for further questions, Raph stepped in close, wrapping one arm around Don’s shell and curving the other behind his brother’s neck.  His lips pressed against Don’s and Raph emitted a satisfied grunt when Don responded by opening his mouth.

A feeling of complete ease washed over Don as he allowed himself to experience the kiss without his usual inhibitions.  There was a level of romance in Raph’s actions that Don found endearing and he decided to make the experience as memorable as he could for his brother.

When Raph urged him down on the sand, Don tossed his bō staff aside and lay back without argument.  Raph’s sai soon followed and then he swiftly removed his own belt before working at the knot on Don’s, pushing the material aside once it was loose.

Raph leaned in to ply Don’s mouth with another more urgent kiss, and then his mouth fell to Don’s neck.  Kissing his way down to Don’s collar bone, Raph lightly bit him, sending a wave of pleasure through the genius’ system.  Don’s churr was followed by one of Raph’s, who then bit him a little harder, making Don’s hips grind against the sand.

Moving his mouth to Don’s center front line, Raph began kissing his way downward, sometimes pressing his tongue into the gap between Don’s scutes.  The feeling was overwhelmingly erotic and Don soon spread his legs in anticipation.

Don panted as he watched Raph dig into his belt which lay on the sand next to them and retrieve the bottle of anal lubricant he’d brought along.  Since he didn’t believe that there had been time for Raph to find where Don had hidden the lube in the infirmary, he figured it was the bottle from Mikey’s room.

Rather than opening the lube right away, Raph left it lying in the sand and returned to lavishing Don’s body with his kisses.  When he finally reached the spot between Don’s legs that housed the softer cartilage, the bottoming turtle could barely contain his erection.

“Drop down Donny,” Raph ordered in a guttural tone, massaging Don’s tail with one hand.

A combination of Raph’s vocal vibrations and the tantalizing feel of his tail being teased caused Don’s cock to make an appearance.  As soon as it was in the open, Raph kissed the shaft and then licked his way to the tip, making Don’s cock swell quickly.

Raph swallowed his brother’s cock in one long, tight motion, the feeling so enticing that Don barely registered the fact that Raph’s hand had left his tail.  The sound of the lube bottle popping open was drowned out by Don’s churrs as Raph’s tongue curved around his shaft.

As Raph lapped at the head of Don’s cock, his questing hand found its way under the genius’ tail.  Raph must have used a fair amount of lubricant because Don barely felt his brother’s finger work its way inside of him.

“Damn, ya’ taste good Donny,” Raph husked, twirling his tongue in Don’s pre-cum.  “I want ya’ to fill my mouth with your jizz.  Can ya’ do that for me lover?”

Don moaned, unable to answer as Raph’s finger twisted inside of him and touched off fireworks in his groin.  When Raph pulled his finger out, Don’s groan of protest made him chuckle.

“Give me a second,” Raph said, coating his fingers with lube before returning two of them to Don’s ass.  After barely breaching Don’s entrance with the tips of two fingers, Raph stopped and glanced up, making sure that Don’s was looking at him.

“I want ya’ to guide me with your hands on my head, Donny.  Ya’ tell me how fast ya’ want me to suck ya’ off,” Raph said, his voice husky with need.  “You’re gonna cum in my mouth ‘cause I want ya’ to.  Don’t hold back.  It’s all about your pleasure.”

His voice shaky, Don said, “Okay.”

Lowering his mouth to Don’s cock once more, Raph began to lavish it with attention, stimulating the tip with his tongue while using his free hand to rub up and down on the shaft.  Holding Don’s cock upright, Raph moved the head over his lips as though painting them with his brother’s pre, sending delicious spasms throughout Don’s lower regions.

Don shivered as Raph began to push both fingers into him, slithering them all of the way inside.  The feeling of Raph’s tongue flicking his frenulum pulled Don’s attention back to his brother’s blow job and he lowered his hands to the sides of Raph’s head to guide him.

Gently sliding the surface of his teeth along Don’s shaft, Raph followed the hint of roughness with the smooth stroke of his tongue.  Scissoring his fingers inside Don’s ass, Raph began to turn his hand while alternately pulling back and pushing in again.

With his mouth fully engulfing Don’s cock, Raph paused, waiting for Don to direct his motion.  Realizing that he’d been holding his breath, Don released it with an audible huff and lifted Raph’s head with his hands.

The sensation of Raph’s fingers inside of him and a hot mouth on his dick had Don quickly spiraling towards his peak.  Urging Raph to move faster established a rhythmic friction and Donatello pressed his head into the sand, grimacing as the fire in his loins became overpowering.

Just as Don teetered on the edge of release, Raph’s fingers brushed against his prostate.  The jolt sent Don into a shuddering climax, his keening cry echoing in the night air.

As he’d promised, Raph swallowed his cum, taking his hand from Don’s ass so that he could hold Don’s legs in place as he licked off every sticky trace.  Don’s hands fell to the sand, his eyes wide and unseeing as he gasped for air.

Very vaguely Don felt Raph crawl atop him and shift his hips into a favorable position.  Raph’s turgid cock entered him then, sliding into Don’s ass in one smooth motion.  Though not nearly as painful as the first time, it still stung enough to pull Don back into the moment.

Looking up at the stars, Don’s body rocked in the sand as Raph drove into him.  Bending his knees, Don pressed his heels into the sand and pushed into each of Raph’s thrusts, taking his brother’s cock deep into his body.

Moving hard and fast, Raph rutted into Don, grunting with his efforts.  It did not take long before Raph climaxed, shouting Don’s name as he pumped semen into him.

Breathing heavily, Raph rolled off of his brother and fell on the sand next to him.  After a minute, he stretched his arm along the sand and said, “Come here.”

Don crawled up next to him, placing an arm over Raph’s chest as his brother’s arm curved around his shoulders.  Together they lay beneath the bright moon, neither saying a word.

Wrapped in Raph's arms, Don knew that this was what he'd been missing; this feeling of being so loved and so cherished.  It had taken several false starts for Raph to finally find a way to convey that it wasn't about the sex, but about the way sex brought them such closeness.

Tears stung the corners of Don's eyes and he held Raph even tighter, determined to show his brother as much devotion as Raph had shown him.  Maybe everything at home wasn’t settled just yet, but in this quiet moment, Donatello pretended that it was.
