Rating: NC-17 explicit", "writing": "\tCuriosity overcame arousal as Michelangelo returned to the lair. If a fight with Leonardo had sent Raphael scurrying into the tunnels to jerk off, how had that argument affected the older turtle?\n\n\tMikey had assumed that Leo would use one of his tried and true methods to calm himself. But then, he'd also expected that Raph would simply run off the head of steam he'd built up during the yelling match. Mikey had found that he was very off base on that assumption.\n\n\tAs he made his way across the lair, Mikey saw Donatello walking away from the kitchen with a cup in his hand. Mikey was thankful that Don didn't even glance in his direction. He was no doubt flying on a caffeine fueled high, his mind engaged in whatever project was holding his interest at the moment.\n\n\tMaster Splinter had switched to a news broadcast and likewise paid no attention to his youngest son. Though Mikey's erection wasn't too painful to keep hidden away, he knew that anyone who looked closely would see the revealing bulge.\n\n\tRather than entering the dojo, Mikey peeked through the doorway. Leo was dancing through one of his imaginary fights, his flashing katana reflecting the overhead lights in moving prisms.\n\n\tAlong with his normal focused look, Leonardo's expression also carried a touch of frustration. There was a savagery in his movements that replaced Leo's usual finesse.\n\n\tMikey had a thought that the fight Leo was playing out in his mind involved Raphael.\n\n\t``What is so interesting?''\n\n\tJumping guiltily, Mikey turned to find Donatello standing behind him.\n\n``Leo and Raph had another argument,'' Mikey said. ``Raph ran off.''\n\n``So you're spying on Leo?'' Don asked. There was a cup in his hand, steam curling up from its depths.\n\n``How many is that?'' Mikey countered, nodding at the cup and changing the subject.\n\n``I don't keep track,'' Don answered. ``Clearly you're bored. I can find . . . .''\n\n``Nope, uh-uh, sorry,'' Mikey said, quickly moving around his brother. ``I've got my own projects. Check you later!''\n\nMikey took the stairs two at a time, climbing up to the third level of the lair. His room was above Leo's and around the corner from Raphael's. As much as he had loved the Y'Lyntian lair, in this newest place, the distance between he and his brother's bedrooms was more of an advantage as far as privacy went.\n\nThe image of Raphael jerking off in the tunnels was still vivid in Mikey's head. As he closed and locked his bedroom door, the sounds of Raph's churring and cursing resurfaced in his memory. Making straight for his bed, the erection that Mikey had been trying to contain for over half an hour finally escaped confinement.\n\nNormally Mikey preferred to prolong his self-stimulation, leisurely fondling himself and enjoying a slow climb towards completion. Tonight he was more than excited already.\n\nTaking from his bedside table the lubricant he kept hidden there, Mikey poured some onto his palm and then grasped his thick shaft. A low moan issued from his lips as he began to stroke himself from base to tip, thumbing the sensitive head of his cock before repeating the process.\n\nFaster and faster his hand moved, eyes closed as he replayed the vision of Raph masturbating. It wasn't just the fact that Raph was jerking off that titillated Mikey, but that he had been a secret observer of something so private.\n\nRaph would try to punch Mikey into next Tuesday if he found out he'd been seen. That thought had Mikey panting, his imagination picturing Raph with a full hard-on chasing him around the lair.\n\nMikey bit his lip to keep from crying out as he climaxed. For a moment he continued to pump his dick, riding out the last spasms of his orgasm.\n\nFinally his hand fell away and his body relaxed into the mattress. As he floated towards sleep, the meaning of the words that Raph had spoken in the tunnel suddenly clicked into place.\n\nRaph hadn't just been jerking off out of angry frustration. He had actually said he'd like to `shove my fat cock down that big mouth of yours', in reference to Leonardo.\n\nWhat other sorts of thoughts had Raph been having about their oldest brother? And more importantly, why did the idea of finding this stuff out arouse Mikey so much?\n\nHe fell asleep pondering those questions.\n\nThe next morning Michelangelo awoke early and bounded out of bed with a new purpose. His mission for the day was to observe and gather information. Until now he had been privy to Raph and Leo's arguments only after they had begun. Mikey wanted to see how one of them started.\n\nAfter visiting the bathroom, Mikey strolled downstairs. A glance at Raph's bedroom had shown him the door was shut, which meant his brother was probably still asleep.\n\nHe found Leo seated at the kitchen table, a cup of hot tea clasped between his hands.\n\n``You're up early,'' Leo said as Mikey walked over to the cupboard for a bowl.\n\n``I went to bed early,'' Mikey replied, grabbing a box of cereal and the milk. Pouring both into his bowl, he joined Leo at the table. ``Seen Donny this morning?''\n\n``Not yet, but I did hear him banging on something in the service bay,'' Leo said. ``He was hard at it when I turned in for the night too.''\n\n``That means he didn't sleep,'' Mikey said, talking around a mouthful of cereal. ``He must be building some new contraption.''\n\nLeo snorted his agreement. ``Don's been keeping something covered with a tarp,'' he said. ``He only does that when he wants to surprise us.''\n\n``That should be interesting.'' Mikey snuck a furtive glance at Leo as he tried to keep the sound of any undue curiosity out of his voice. ``What time did Raph finally get home?''\n\n``I don't know,'' Leo said, setting his cup down a little harder than necessary. ``He's been going out of his way lately to try and aggravate me.''\n\n``Got any idea why?'' Mikey asked.\n\n``Probably just tired of being cooped up,'' Leo said, rising from his chair and going to rinse his cup in the sink. ``Spar with me? I could use a good workout.''\n\n``Sure,'' Mikey said, quickly shoveling the remainder of his breakfast into his mouth.\n\nLeo shook his head. ``You're going to get indigestion eating that fast.''\n\n``Never have,'' Mikey responded. After washing his bowl and spoon, Mikey walked alongside Leo to the dojo.\n\nThey had been at it for half an hour when Master Splinter joined them. He watched silently as they continued to spar and then stopped them when Raph and Don arrived for their scheduled practice session.\n\nDon's movements were a dead giveaway as to the fact that he hadn't slept. From the expression on Master Splinter's face, it was clear that he and the genius were going to have a discussion about that after they were done.\n\nRaph hadn't said more than two words since his arrival, and those two had been directed at their father.\n\nMuscle memory made it easy for Mikey to keep up with the moves they were practicing, which allowed him to keep a surreptitious eye on the two brothers who currently held his interest. Leo was his normally resolute self, though he did seem to being going out of his way to avoid looking at Raph.\n\nIt wasn't the same for Raph though. He had started off by ignoring his brothers, but as the session went on, Mikey began to notice that Raph's eyes would periodically dart to Leo. They didn't stay on Leo for long, probably because Raph didn't want to be caught looking at his older brother.\n\nMikey found the entire thing to be highly entertaining.\n\nWhen Master Splinter pronounced the end to the day's training and pulled Don off for a talk, Leo excused himself to go to his room and meditate. Once he had turned away, Raph openly stared at his retreating shell.\n\nSo as not to seem interested in his hot headed brother, Mikey grabbed a jump rope and kept to one side of the room as he exercised. After watching Leo all of the way out of the room, Raph turned to his weight bag and began punching it.\n\nRaph's lips were moving with each punch he threw. He wasn't talking loud enough for Mikey to hear the words, but he could imagine the epithets that were spilling from his brother's mouth. Whether Raph was cursing Leo again, or himself, was anyone's guess.\n\nAs the day progressed, Mikey made certain to be near either Raphael or Leonardo. He noticed that while Leo interacted just as he always did with everyone else, with Raph he was slightly aloof.\n\nNightfall approached and Raph seemed jittery and out of sorts. At the dinner table, Mikey tried to talk his brothers into a movie night, but Raph merely glowered at him and Don said he had work to do.\n\nThat earned him a mild rebuke from Leo, who reminded Don that he needed to find time to sleep.\n\n``I guess it's your job now to assign us all bedtimes,'' Raph said sarcastically.\n\nIt was the first time that day that Raph had said anything directly to Leo. His words had an instant effect as the skin around Leo's mouth tightened and his body went rigid.\n\n``First off, my words were not aimed at you,'' Leo said. ``Secondly, since when is my concern for Don's welfare any of your business?''\n\nRaph planted his fists on the table. ``Since ya' started pulling that fake concern crap with all of us.''\n\n``Boys,'' Master Splinter said, a warning in his tone.\n\n``My apologies, Master Splinter,'' Leo said immediately.\n\nFrom Raph's expression it didn't appear that he was ready to drop the subject, but he did sit back in his chair and turn his gaze away from Leo.\n\nApparently that was enough to satisfy Master Splinter. They ate in silence after that, Mikey dividing his attention between Raph and Leo who from their body language, were both on edge.\n\nWhen Master Splinter bade them good-night and left for his room, Leo immediately rose and began clearing the table. Don was making some sort of calculations on a scrap piece of paper, his thoughts already a million miles away.\n\nGrabbing an armful of dirty dishes, Mikey trailed into the kitchen behind Leo. A glance showed him that Raph was staring in that direction, his eyes narrowed and one hand bunched into a tight fist.\n\nRaph looked for all the world like someone trying to think of a reason to engage the enemy rather than a brother who knew he was supposed to be keeping the peace.\n\nDonatello wandered off a few minutes later. Mikey was washing the dishes as Leo dried when Raph stomped over to stand behind them, his arms crossed.\n\nThere was absolute silence from all three turtles. Mikey could sense the tension, heck, he could almost [i]feel [/i]it like static hovering in the air around them.\n\nThe impasse was finally broken when Raph barked, ``Are we gonna patrol tonight or what?''\n\nLeo continued to dry and put away dishes, pointedly ignoring both the question and his brother. His hip against the counter, Mikey had a bird's eye view of both Leo's face and Raph's. Leo's expression was inscrutable, but after so many years of living with him, Mikey could see the tiny tic at the corner of one eye.\n\nA blind man could have read the signs of an impending explosion from Raph's countenance. It was suddenly clear to Mikey that every one of their nightly fights progressed in nearly the same manner, with Raph starting it.\n\n``I'm talking to ya', [i]Leonardo[/i],'' Raph said, his emphasis of Leo's name sounding as ugly as he could manage.\n\nLeo carefully folded the dish towel and set it aside. With great deliberation, he slowly turned, his eyes icy with contempt.\n\nMikey stepped back. This was certainly not his first, fiftieth, or even hundredth time being nearby when these two brothers went at it.\n\nThis was however the first time he actively sought to be out of the line of fire.\n\nTBC........... \n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tCuriosity overcame arousal as Michelangelo returned to the lair.  If a fight with Leonardo had sent Raphael scurrying into the tunnels to jerk off, how had that argument affected the older turtle?

So as not to seem interested in his hot headed brother, Mikey grabbed a jump rope and kept to one side of the room as he exercised.  After watching Leo all of the way out of the room, Raph turned to his weight bag and began punching it.

Raph's lips were moving with each punch he threw.  He wasn't talking loud enough for Mikey to hear the words, but he could imagine the epithets that were spilling from his brother's mouth.  Whether Raph was cursing Leo again, or himself, was anyone's guess.

As the day progressed, Mikey made certain to be near either Raphael or Leonardo.  He noticed that while Leo interacted just as he always did with everyone else, with Raph he was slightly aloof.

Nightfall approached and Raph seemed jittery and out of sorts.  At the dinner table, Mikey tried to talk his brothers into a movie night, but Raph merely glowered at him and Don said he had work to do.

That earned him a mild rebuke from Leo, who reminded Don that he needed to find time to sleep.

``I guess it's your job now to assign us all bedtimes,'' Raph said sarcastically.

It was the first time that day that Raph had said anything directly to Leo.  His words had an instant effect as the skin around Leo's mouth tightened and his body went rigid.

``First off, my words were not aimed at you,'' Leo said.  ``Secondly, since when is my concern for Don's welfare any of your business?''

Raph planted his fists on the table.  ``Since ya' started pulling that fake concern crap with all of us.''

``Boys,'' Master Splinter said, a warning in his tone.

``My apologies, Master Splinter,'' Leo said immediately.

From Raph's expression it didn't appear that he was ready to drop the subject, but he did sit back in his chair and turn his gaze away from Leo.

Apparently that was enough to satisfy Master Splinter.  They ate in silence after that, Mikey dividing his attention between Raph and Leo who from their body language, were both on edge.

When Master Splinter bade them good-night and left for his room, Leo immediately rose and began clearing the table.  Don was making some sort of calculations on a scrap piece of paper, his thoughts already a million miles away.

Grabbing an armful of dirty dishes, Mikey trailed into the kitchen behind Leo.  A glance showed him that Raph was staring in that direction, his eyes narrowed and one hand bunched into a tight fist.

Raph looked for all the world like someone trying to think of a reason to engage the enemy rather than a brother who knew he was supposed to be keeping the peace.

Donatello wandered off a few minutes later.  Mikey was washing the dishes as Leo dried when Raph stomped over to stand behind them, his arms crossed.

There was absolute silence from all three turtles.  Mikey could sense the tension, heck, he could almost feel it like static hovering in the air around them.

The impasse was finally broken when Raph barked, ``Are we gonna patrol tonight or what?''

Leo continued to dry and put away dishes, pointedly ignoring both the question and his brother.  His hip against the counter, Mikey had a bird's eye view of both Leo's face and Raph's.  Leo's expression was inscrutable, but after so many years of living with him, Mikey could see the tiny tic at the corner of one eye.

A blind man could have read the signs of an impending explosion from Raph's countenance.  It was suddenly clear to Mikey that every one of their nightly fights progressed in nearly the same manner, with Raph starting it.

``I'm talking to ya', Leonardo,'' Raph said, his emphasis of Leo's name sounding as ugly as he could manage.

Leo carefully folded the dish towel and set it aside.  With great deliberation, he slowly turned, his eyes icy with contempt.

Mikey stepped back.  This was certainly not his first, fiftieth, or even hundredth time being nearby when these two brothers went at it.

This was however the first time he actively sought to be out of the line of fire.
