  "writing": "\tFortunately for Leonardo, the bathroom stalls were still intact.  When Mikey ducked into one to take care of his nightly business, Leo took advantage of his moment of privacy in order to quickly splash cold water on his face, neck, chest, and groin.\n\n\tThe kiss they had shared still had Leo's body tingling and the shock of icy water was the only thing he could think to use in order to calm his excitement.  He had been bold in pulling Michelangelo into that kiss and it had been rewarding to discover that the young turtle shared his attraction.\n\n\tMikey's shyness when breaking the kiss was Leo's reminder to go slow.  The problem was that even that brief encounter had aroused the older turtle so thoroughly that he knew if the cold water didn't bring him to his senses, he'd have to sleep on one of the wooden benches.\n\n\tLeo was rinsing his mouth when Mikey joined him; the younger turtle's face flushed and eyes lowered.  He didn't say anything to Leo as he began to brush his teeth and Leo suddenly had a thought that Mikey might need a few minutes to himself at the sink.\n\n\tSliding into a stall, Leo waited silently, listening as Mikey tipped water from a jug in order to clean his teeth.  Then he heard the sound of the tap and knew that Mikey was also finding it necessary to splash some cold water on his body.  Leo smiled widely, delighted to know that Mikey had found Leo's touch to be so stimulating.\n\n\tLeo gave Mikey a few minutes of solitude before exiting the stall.  Their eyes met in the cracked mirror that hung above the sink and the young turtle offered his guest a bashful smile that had Leo's heart thumping in his chest.\n\n\tMikey draped his towel over the rack near the one Leo had used and led the way back to his bedroom.\n\n\tAs he began turning off the various lamps that lit the interior, Mikey asked, ``Do you want a bottle of water?  I usually put one on the stand next to the bed in case I get thirsty at night.''\n\n\t``That would be nice, thank you,'' Leo said.\n\n\t``'Kay, I'll be right back.  Make yourself comfortable,'' Mikey told him as he left the room.\n\n\tLeo carefully removed the remainder of his gear and stacked it neatly on the edge of Mikey's desk.  The bed was carefully made and Leo turned back the covers, finding that Mikey used two mismatched blankets and a green sheet for warmth.  When Leo saw that the fitted sheet and the cases on the three pillows were a blue that nearly matched his bandana, he blinked in surprise.\n\n\tShaking his head at the vagaries of coincidence, Leo crawled between the sheets and scooted back from the edge in order to leave space for Mikey.  He was lying on his side looking at the door when Mikey came back in carrying the water and Leo watched the young turtle step up next to the bed so he could set the bottles down.\n\n\t``I locked the place up for the night,'' Mikey said, ``so if you need to visit the bathroom you'll have to undo the latch to get out.  Um, you see that hatch in the ceiling over in the corner there?''\n\n\tHe pointed into a far corner of the room and Leo turned his head to look in that direction.  The outline of a door was just visible against the fresh paint that Mikey had obviously used to spruce up his living quarters.\n\n\t``An escape route?'' Leo guessed as his eyes came back to Mikey.\n\n\t``Yeah,'' Mikey said with a grin.  ``I learned a long time ago to never be in a room with only one exit.''\n\n\t``It's a good policy,'' Leo murmured, staring at Mikey's tail when the other turtle turned to shut off one of the two remaining lights in the room.\n\n\tOne small lamp was still lit; on the floor in a corner nearest the door, it gave off an illumination too faint to interfere with sleep, but bright enough to keep total darkness from enveloping the room.\n\n\tLeo reached for a bottle of water and took a sip as he surreptitiously watched Mikey strip.  The young turtle's belt and pads actually covered very little, but it was the thought that Mikey was removing his last vestige of `clothing' that Leo found seductive.\n\n\tMikey must have felt something similar, because when he looked up to find Leo's eyes on him, a light flush colored his neck, obvious even in the low light.  Taking a deep breath, Mikey sat on the edge of the bed and looked over his shoulder at Leo, giving his guest a shy smile.\n\n\t``Are you okay against the wall?'' Mikey asked.  ``I'll trade with you if you'd rather sleep on the outside.''\n\n\t``I'm very comfortable, Mikey,'' Leo said, his voice low and a shade deeper than normal.  He couldn't help that; the feelings that he'd washed away with cold water were coming back in full force.  Mikey's nearness had the most amazing physiological effect on him and Leo had a pretty good idea that it always would.\n\n\t``I d . . . don't think I roll around too mu . . . much in my sleep,'' Mikey stuttered, obviously stalling.  ``Just smack me if I d . . . disturb you.''\n\n\tLeo suddenly found that Mikey's nervousness made him feel more confident; sure that it was a signal that Mikey needed Leo to give him some direction because the young turtle was determined not to run away.\n\n\t``Lie down, Mikey,'' Leo said in a slightly guttural tone.  ``I'll be fine and so will you.''\n\n\tMikey stared at him for a second and then nodded, spinning quickly so that he could slide his legs beneath the covers and then pulling them up to his chest.\n\n\tLeo waited for the young turtle to relax before lifting himself up on an elbow in order to reach over Mikey and replace the water bottle on the nightstand.  He could feel Mikey's eyes on him and waited until he was pulling his hand back in order to look down into those sparkling blue orbs.\n\n\tVery slowly, Leo caressed Mikey's cheek with two fingers and then leaned down to place a softly chaste kiss to the youngster's lips.  With a small smile, Leo pulled away and said, ``Goodnight, Mikey.''\n\n\tWhen Leo lay back down, Mikey cleared his throat and said in a near whisper, ``Goodnight, Leo.''\n\n\tOn his side facing Mikey, Leo curved an arm underneath his pillow so that he could lift his head enough to see the younger turtle.  Mikey's eyes were shut, but he was nibbling at his lower lip and his fingers were twisting together on his plastron.  The young turtle's scent was strong from this close up and Leo could smell the unmistakable musk of arousal mingling with Mikey's naturally alluring essence.\n\n\tAfter a minute or two, Mikey turned over on his side, presenting his carapace to Leo.  The older turtle could almost hear Mikey's heartbeat and could tell that his host wasn't anywhere near sleep.\n\n\tIt was no surprise to Leo when Mikey broke the silence.\n\n\t``Leo, do you think we're really brothers, like, [i]blood[/i] brothers?'' Mikey asked in a soft voice.\n\n\tNot sure where Mikey was going with the question, Leo answered as truthfully as he could, ``Don says he doubts that we came from the same clutch because of certain physical differences between us, so we're not likely to be related by blood.  We're mainly brothers because of the circumstances of our mutation, and for Raph, Don, and I, because of our upbringing.''\n\n\t``So technically, I'm not actually a brother,'' Mikey said.\n\n\t``You're still family,'' Leo replied strongly, ``whether you want to consider us to be brothers or not.  You were lost to us for a time, but now we've found each other again.  I think that was always meant to be.''\n\n\tMikey was quiet for a few minutes and Leo had a feeling he was thinking about Leo's answers.\n\n\tLeo heard Mikey sigh audibly and frowned, because the sound had a note of resignation to it.\n\n\t``Mikey, talk to me,'' Leo said firmly.\n\n\tMikey shrugged but didn't change positions, almost as if he couldn't bear to look at Leo. \n\n\t``Brothers can't have a physical relationship, can they, Leo?'' Mikey asked, his voice quivering slightly.  ``'Cause isn't that wrong?  Isn't that . . .  incest?  I don't want to lose you because we did something we weren't supposed to do.''\n\n\tFor a moment Leo lay stunned, unable to move as he processed what Mikey had just said.  Somehow in his pursuit of the lost boy, Leonardo had never considered the concept of human morality coming between them.\n\n\tNow he had to find a way of explaining things to Mikey in a manner that would keep the young turtle from pulling away from him.\n\nTBC...........\n\n",

that Leo found seductive.<br /><br />\tMikey must have felt something similar, because when he looked up to find Leo&#039;s eyes on him, a light flush colored his neck, obvious even in the low light.&nbsp;&nbsp;Taking a deep breath, Mikey sat on the edge of the bed and looked over his shoulder at Leo, giving his guest a shy smile.<br /><br />\t``Are you okay against the wall?&#039;&#039; Mikey asked.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I&#039;ll trade with you if you&#039;d rather sleep on the outside.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``I&#039;m very comfortable, Mikey,&#039;&#039; Leo said, his voice low and a shade deeper than normal.&nbsp;&nbsp;He couldn&#039;t help that; the feelings that he&#039;d washed away with cold water were coming back in full force.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mikey&#039;s nearness had the most amazing physiological effect on him and Leo had a pretty good idea that it always would.<br /><br />\t``I d . . . don&#039;t think I roll around too mu . . . much in my sleep,&#039;&#039; Mikey stuttered, obviously stalling.&nbsp;&nbsp;``Just smack me if I d . . . disturb you.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tLeo suddenly found that Mikey&#039;s nervousness made him feel more confident; sure that it was a signal that Mikey needed Leo to give him some direction because the young turtle was determined not to run away.<br /><br />\t``Lie down, Mikey,&#039;&#039; Leo said in a slightly guttural tone.&nbsp;&nbsp;``I&#039;ll be fine and so will you.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tMikey stared at him for a second and then nodded, spinning quickly so that he could slide his legs beneath the covers and then pulling them up to his chest.<br /><br />\tLeo waited for the young turtle to relax before lifting himself up on an elbow in order to reach over Mikey and replace the water bottle on the nightstand.&nbsp;&nbsp;He could feel Mikey&#039;s eyes on him and waited until he was pulling his hand back in order to look down into those sparkling blue orbs.<br /><br />\tVery slowly, Leo caressed Mikey&#039;s cheek with two fingers and then leaned down to place a softly chaste kiss to the youngster&#039;s lips.&nbsp;&nbsp;With a small smile, Leo pulled away and said, ``Goodnight, Mikey.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tWhen Leo lay back down, Mikey cleared his throat and said in a near whisper, ``Goodnight, Leo.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tOn his side facing Mikey, Leo curved an arm underneath his pillow so that he could lift his head enough to see the younger turtle.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mikey&#039;s eyes were shut, but he was nibbling at his lower lip and his fingers were twisting together on his plastron.&nbsp;&nbsp;The young turtle&#039;s scent was strong from this close up and Leo could smell the unmistakable musk of arousal mingling with Mikey&#039;s naturally alluring essence.<br /><br />\tAfter a minute or two, Mikey turned over on his side, presenting his carapace to Leo.&nbsp;&nbsp;The older turtle could almost hear Mikey&#039;s heartbeat and could tell that his host wasn&#039;t anywhere near sleep.<br /><br />\tIt was no surprise to Leo when Mikey broke the silence.<br /><br />\t``Leo, do you think we&#039;re really brothers, like, <em>blood</em> brothers?&#039;&#039; Mikey asked in a soft voice.<br /><br />\tNot sure where Mikey was going with the question, Leo answered as truthfully as he could, ``Don says he doubts that we came from the same clutch because of certain physical differences between us, so we&#039;re not likely to be related by blood.&nbsp;&nbsp;We&#039;re mainly brothers because of the circumstances of our mutation, and for Raph, Don, and I, because of our upbringing.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\t``So technically, I&#039;m not actually a brother,&#039;&#039; Mikey said.<br /><br />\t``You&#039;re still family,&#039;&#039; Leo replied strongly, ``whether you want to consider us to be brothers or not.&nbsp;&nbsp;You were lost to us for a time, but now we&#039;ve found each other again.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think that was always meant to be.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tMikey was quiet for a few minutes and Leo had a feeling he was thinking about Leo&#039;s answers.<br /><br />\tLeo heard Mikey sigh audibly and frowned, because the sound had a note of resignation to it.<br /><br />\t``Mikey, talk to me,&#039;&#039; Leo said firmly.<br /><br />\tMikey shrugged but didn&#039;t change positions, almost as if he couldn&#039;t bear to look at Leo. <br /><br />\t``Brothers can&#039;t have a physical relationship, can they, Leo?&#039;&#039; Mikey asked, his voice quivering slightly.&nbsp;&nbsp;``&#039;Cause isn&#039;t that wrong?&nbsp;&nbsp;Isn&#039;t that . . .&nbsp;&nbsp;incest?&nbsp;&nbsp;I don&#039;t want to lose you because we did something we weren&#039;t supposed to do.&#039;&#039;<br /><br />\tFor a moment Leo lay stunned, unable to move as he processed what Mikey had just said.&nbsp;&nbsp;Somehow in his pursuit of the lost boy, Leonardo had never considered the concept of human morality coming between them.<br /><br />\tNow he had to find a way of explaining things to Mikey in a manner that would keep the young turtle from pulling away from him.<br /><br />TBC...........<br /><br /></span>",
