Rated: M (rating could change)", "writing": "\tLeonardo sat on the rim of the second floor balcony watching Michelangelo perform skateboard tricks. His eyes were on his younger brother, but his thoughts were far away.\n\n\tTry as he might, he could not understand why Donnie had shut him down so hard. It had hurt, and not the `fall down during a double laser flip' hurt, but the kind of hurt that felt like someone was stabbing you straight in the heart.\n\n\tThat wasn't the kind of hurt Leo had ever felt before. He'd had a passion for Donnie for as long as he could remember and it made no sense that his brother wouldn't feel the same. They were practically twins, weren't they?\n\n\tFrom the moment of their mutation the pair of them had enjoyed a unique relationship. Leo would pick on Donnie, and Donnie would give as good as he got. It was fun and entertaining, especially in the early years when there wasn't much else for them to do. Thinking about the next prank he could play on Don in order to get his attention was a never ending source of amusement.\n\n\tLeo was certain that Don had to have spent as much time thinking about him too. He was always prepared to retaliate and that couldn't happen if Leo wasn't on his mind, right?\n\n\tMaybe it was all the shiny gadgets that had come between them. Or it was the video games, or the cell phones, or all those books that Don read. Leo had a book. Granted, he used that book to balance one of the legs on his desk, but it still counted.\n\n\tFor the first time in his life, Leonardo wanted something and didn't know how to get it. The only time he felt a worse sense of frustration was while he was trying to open a portal to Tahiti and would instead wind up in the bathtub.\n\n\tA loud thud and a shouted ``Ow!'' drew Leo out of his reverie for a moment and he glanced down to see Mikey sprawled on the floor, skateboard on top of his face. Mikey gave him a thumbs up to show that no real damage was done.\n\n\t``Good one!'' Leo called down to him, though he hadn't actually seen whatever it was that Mikey had done. There was a moment of regret over that because it must have been spectacular to have left Mikey's limbs bent at such unnatural angles.\n\n\tLeo's mind returned to his own problem, leaving it to his brother to untangle himself. It wasn't as though Leo couldn't think things through, but he much preferred to let solutions come to him in a flash, and that wasn't happening.\n\n\tIn his mind's eye, Leo could see himself wrapped in Donnie's arms as they lay together in bed. Don was sleeping, but his hands were still tight around Leo's shell, the other clasping his leg. Leo watched him, as he often did, still fascinated that someone as perfect as Don even existed.\n\n\tThere had to be a solution to this, a way to open Don's eyes and make him realize that he felt the same things for Leo. It just wasn't fathomable, despite what Don had said, for him to not want Leo's affections.\n\n\tAnother sound interrupted his thoughts and this time it wasn't Michelangelo. Splinter strolled past his son, whistling a tune to himself. His dad was carrying a glass of milk and a slice of cake, clearly on his way to his favorite chair.\n\n\tA thought struck him as his dad disappeared from view. What Leo needed was advice from someone who spoke the language of love. Someone with experience in that area. Someone like . . . \n\n\t. . . ``Hola Senor Hueso!'' Leo called out upon entering the bone man's restaurant.\n\n\tHueso stopped wiping down a table to look up. His expression soured as soon as he saw the turtle. ``No. Whatever it is that you have come for, the answer is no.''\n\n\t``How can you say that after all we've been through together?'' Leo asked, giving Hueso his best smile.\n\n\t``I say it because I do not wish to go through anything more with you,'' Hueso said, waving his hand in a dismissive gesture. ``Now go away.''\n\n\tLeo slapped a hand down on the table, leaning forward to hold Hueso's gaze. ``I need your advice and if you don't give it to me, I'll never be your waiter again.''\n\n\t``Is that a promise?'' Hueso asked with a hopeful look.\n\n\tEyes narrowing dangerously, Leo replied, ``Give me some advice or I [i]will [/i]be your waiter again.''\n\n\t``Fine, fine, fine,'' Hueso said, tossing his rag aside and crossing his arms. ``What is this advice that you need?''\n\n\tStraightening up, Leo said, ``How do you tell someone that you want to be with them after you already told them and they shot you down?''\n\n\t``Tell me, is this girl shy?'' Hueso asked.\n\n\t``It's a guy,'' Leo said.\n\n\t``Whatever, I do not judge,'' Hueso said. ``How did they, as you say, shoot you down?''\n\n\t``He said I didn't really care about him, that I was trying to trick him, and that he didn't want my attentions,'' Leo answered.\n\n\t``Aie, that is harsh,'' Hueso said. He rubbed his chin, thinking hard. Leo stared at him expectantly. With a frown, Hueso asked, ``Don't you have family that you can talk to about this sort of thing?''\n\n\t``That is not a solution,'' Leo said. ``You're the only one I know with any experience. The only one who speaks the leguaje del amor.''\n\n\tHueso put his hands on his hips. ``Wasn't your father a famous action movie star who had a different woman on his arm every night?''\n\n\t``That doesn't count,'' Leo said. ``It was ages ago and if I ask Splinter anything about it, I'll have to listen to him talk about stunt men for hours. I want advice now.''\n\n\t``You have an amazing gift for taking absolutely nothing seriously,'' Hueso said.\n\n\t``We~ell, thank you,'' Leo said, puffing out his chest.\n\n\t``That was not a compliment,'' Hueso said. ``Perhaps this is why your man believes you are trying to trick him. You must show him that you have a serious side to your nature, that you can be tender. You must treat his every word as though it is made of gold. He must be the center of your universe, the one who can do no wrong.''\n\n\t``How long is all of that going to take?'' Leo asked. ``I was hoping to persuade him by dinnertime.''\n\n\t``Idiota!'' Hueso snapped. ``Do you think that the heart can be swayed with a few sweet words? You must work hard to convince someone of your sincerity. Your efforts must be subtle, you must take the time to make them cherish your presence. It is not the endeavors of a single moment, but of many hours that wins the heart.''\n\n\t``Pish,'' Leo said, flipping his hand at Hueso. ``That takes too long. Tell me the shortcut. Everything has a shortcut.''\n\n\tHueso slapped a hand to his own forehead. ``Why do you ask me for advice if you will not take it?''\n\n\t``I asked you for [i]good[/i] advice,'' Leo said.\n\n\t``When I met the future Mrs. Hueso, rest her soul, I was but a mere lad with grand ideas,'' Hueso said. ``As soon as I saw her bone structure I knew that she was the one and I set about courting her. I brought her flowers, I took her to dinner and told her of my dreams to open the best restaurant in the hidden city. I let her know that I was going to be someone.''\n\n\tLeo stared at his nails and yawned. ``Are we getting to the punchline sometime in this century?''\n\n\t``Do not be impertinent, Pepino,'' Hueso told him. ``The point is that my stories of the future included her, so that she would know that not only could I provide, but that she was the most important part of my reality.''\n\n\t``I get it,'' Leo said, brightening. ``I just have to let Donnie know that no matter how much he tries to shoo me away, I won't be going anywhere. I'll hang on his every word. Thanks, Senor Hueso!''\n\n\tLeo ran out of the restaurant, leaving Hueso to stare after him. ``I do not think he gets it,'' he mumbled. Then a puzzled look crossed his face. ``Donnie? Isn't that his brother?'' Hueso shook his head. ``You do not care, Hueso. What these crazy turtles do is not your concern, as long as they do not do it in this restaurant.''\n\n\tBack at the lair, Leo first went in search of Donatello, but couldn't find him anywhere. He did locate Mikey, who was in the arcade playing one of the games.\n\n\t``Have you seen Donnie?'' Leo asked him.\n\n\t``He went out to test the rotors in his battle shell,'' Mikey said, his focus on the game. ``He said something about an upgrade and fusion power, but I stopped listening.''\n\n\t``Donnie shouldn't be out there alone,'' Leo said.\n\n\tMikey stopped playing to stare at Leo, ignoring the onscreen blast that indicated his defeat. ``Since when? Is something going on that I should know about?''\n\n\t``No, not at all,'' Leo said quickly. ``Everything's fine.''\n\n\t``Uh, uh, nope, you're lying,'' Mikey said, stabbing a finger accusingly at his brother. ``I've seen that look before.''\n\n\t``Do you think Don cares about me?'' Leo asked.\n\n\t``He's your brother, he loves you,'' Mikey said, and then added, ``most of the time. He just doesn't trust you and I'm pretty sure he thinks you don't trust him either.''\n\n\tLeo snapped his fingers as if struck by an idea. ``Ah ha! I will show him that I trust him by giving him permission to experiment on me!''\n\n\t``Since when has he needed permission?'' Mikey asked. His eyes narrowed. ``Something weird is going on around here.''\n\n\tLeo reached out to pat his head. ``Nothing to worry about, little brother. I have everything under control.''\n\n\tHe sauntered off. For about three seconds Mikey continued to look suspicious, but then he shrugged and went back to his game.\n\n \tLeo's next stop was the kitchen, where he made a number of selections from the refrigerator and cabinets. With them neatly arranged on a platter, he left the kitchen and entered his genius brother's lab. After acquiring a few items he exited and made straight for Donatello's bedroom.\n\n\tDonnie was in for a pleasant surprise when he returned home. Leonardo would make certain of that.\n\nTBC.....\n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "\tLeonardo sat on the rim of the second floor balcony watching Michelangelo perform skateboard tricks.  His eyes were on his younger brother, but his thoughts were far away.
