Donnie was curled up on the bed when Venus slowly opened the door. She didn’t know if he was awake or not, he wasn’t moving and he was still wearing all of his Pleasure slave attire.
“Donatello?”
At first there wasn’t any reaction, and then he slowly turned to face her.
His eyes were tired and puffy, a sure sign that he’d been crying, possibly crying himself to sleep since the tears had completely dried up by now.
She gave him a sad smile, feeling sorry for him but knowing that she couldn’t do much else to help him right now.
“Did you get any sleep?”
Donnie sat up slowly, shrugging his shoulders slightly as he rubbed at his eyes. “I could hear the…the Churring.” His voice was soft, so quiet that she almost missed it. The voice sounded a little broken.
Venus walked over to sit next to him on the bed and ran a comforting hand across his carapace. “I will have the room soundproofed. Though I’m afraid it may take a few days.”
The olive coloured slave just nodded, he didn’t like to think of Leonardo with his brother. He’d been with Leonardo, and although it was better now, it was still very much Leonardo taking pleasure instead of giving it.
Venus sighed, getting up to her feet and adjusting her kimono. “Leonardo is in love with your brother.” She assured him. “He is as much a Slave to Michelangelo as you are to him.”
Donnie’s head rolled up to look at her, looking both confused and skeptical.
Venus pretended not to notice the look as she headed for the door. “My brother has given permission for you to see Raphael today. I’m to take you to him as soon as you are ready.”
Donatello just stared at her as she left. He was allowed to see him? After all this time he would get to see him mate again. He was starting to feel nervous now, wondering what to tell him. Did he know that Donnie was a pleasure slave?
One thing was for sure. He couldn’t tell him that Mikey was in a relationship with Leonardo. It would break Raph’s heart, and he would never be able to forgive their little brother for ‘betraying’ that clan.
Donnie slowly made his way out of his room, his eyes automatically looking into the main room where he could hear Michelangelo’s light snoring. One of the curtains on the four poster bed was open to reveal that his brother was alone, Leonardo must have left already.
He didn’t want to disturb his brother; he was still embarrassed and unsettled after hearing him and Leo the night before.
It wasn’t the first time he had heard his brother churring like that, Michelangelo was the only one of the brothers who had an active love life. As well as his short relationship with Raphael, he used to have an on-off relationship with a humanoid girl named Kala. It didn’t last long though. Kala was a roaming neutrino and did not settle in one place for too long.
The neutrinos were one of the strictest clans, keeping their settlement walls closed off and not allowing any outsiders onto their land. The few neutrinos that ever left their settlement were stern and almost military with how the conducted business and set up trades with other clans, not messing around and everything thing they did was for a set purpose. The strictness of the clan causes a lot of their young adults and teenagers to run away, and once they left, they were never welcomed back.
These teenage runaways were known as roaming neutrinos, and were almost completely opposite to the rest of their kind. They were loud, boisterous, fun loving kids who travelled around from settlement to settlement and took a few odd jobs, messed around a bit and then moved on again.
Kala had come to the turtles settlement twice over the years, and both times she and Mikey had gotten close. The first time they were just messing around with each other. Donnie only knew that they had slept together because Mikey had told him, the two turtles had been close friends almost all their lives and told each other almost everything.
It took a lot for Donnie and Raph to convince Mikey not to go with her and join them on their adventures after the second time, when their little fling had started to become more of a serious relationship. He did try and keep their relationship for a while, but the long distance was too hard for them and they both agreed that it was over between them.
Still, Donnie would prefer Mikey to have stayed with her rather than being with Leonardo. At least he knew that Kala cared for Mikey, even though she had gotten him into trouble while they were having fun on more than one occasion.
Donnie was trying not to think of Mikey and Leonardo’s relationship as he silently followed Venus out of the leader’s quarters.
Nervously looking around the area he was trying to ignore the looks he was getting from the few people they passed, both Kame and other turtle slaves alike were eying him with various degrees of curiosity and lust.
Venus didn’t seem fazed by it though, so Donnie assumed that this was normal behaviour and just stayed close to her as they made their way to the prison cells.
After a quick conversation with the guards, Venus was given a set of keys and had them leave, unlocking the cell before turning back to Donnie.
“Leo has given permission of one hour of time for you to see you brother.” She informed him with a soft smile.
Donnie nervously stood outside the door; his stomach was churning as he stood so close to seeing his lover again after such a long time. He worried about what he would see when he stepped inside that cell. Raph was being beaten and abused probably daily, but he was stubborn, he was too strong to let it affect him like it had done Donnie. At least he hoped so.
Slowly, Donnie opened the door to get his first look at the damage that had been done to his mate. The sound of Raphael’s deep growl instantly drew his eyes to the emerald turtle.
He was kneeling on the floor, head bowed low and body tensed with stubborn anger. His emerald skin was even more broken with deep scars and barely healed cuts, green skin only visible in-between the deep black and purple bruising. The floor and wall around him were slightly stained with blood and damp from where someone had clearly just thrown buckets of water over him, probably in an attempt to clean him off.
It only took Donnie a second to notice the chains: a thick chain was stretched from the floor to his neck keeping his head bowed, and though Donnie couldn’t see it, he assumed it was attached to a collar of some sorts.
Two more were attached to his wrists, maybe about a foot of slack before it was secured to the floor by a latch of some sort. The rest of the long chain was attached higher up on the wall, making him believe that the latches were able to be unlocked to give his brother more movement.
Raph’s knees were spread slightly, letting Donnie see that his ankles also had a length of chain between them, another latch in the center pinning it down.
“So this is the famous Raphael?” Venus said to herself curiosity clear in her voice. “No one told me that he was a kame.” She was quick to kneel down and unlock the latch that was keeping his head bound to the floor.
As soon as he was able to move his head it snapped up to glare at her. His bright eyes burning with angry fire that Donnie had only seen once or twice before.
“I’m not a Kame.” He growled darkly, clearly warning her to shut up. Even bound and beaten as he was, Raph still managed to be intimidating, giving an aurora of pure power and rage as he glared daggers at the female Kame.
She didn’t seem fazed by his aggression, not seeing to much of a threat from the restrained warrior, only curiosity in her eyes as she looked over him.
Donnie closed the door behind him, the soft click of the lock drawing Raph’s attention away from Venus and onto his brother.
The two turtles locked eyes, sad brown orbs meeting bright amber.
Raph’s featured softened with a gentle smile. “Donnie?” As soon as Venus unlocked the latches on the floor allowing him more movement he stood up on slightly shaky legs, but Donnie didn’t move to meet him.
The olive pleasure slave was just staring at his strong lover, beaten but not broken, although clearly in pain. Donnie’s eyes were watering but he didn’t cry, it hurt to see Raph so hurt but also so happy to see him, his emotions were at war within himself.
Since Donnie didn’t move, Raph slowly made his way over to him, the chains stopped just before he could reach his partner, but he managed to get a grip on Donnie’s shell and pulled him back with him, until the chain allowed him to wrap his arms around the formally purple banded turtle.
As soon as he felt Raph’s hug everything became more real to Donnie. Reality catching up to him and he couldn’t stop his sobs as he held onto the other tightly, crying into his brother shoulder as the two of them sank down the ground.
Raph was stroking Donnie’s shell in a comforting manner, his heart aching at seeing the cool confident scientist so distraught.
Venus watched them for a few minutes, not wanting to interrupt the brother’s emotional reunion. Eventually she knelt down next to them, and couldn’t help but smile at the way the emerald prisoner pulled Donnie away from her protectively, not caring if he put himself into her line of fire if she had been planning to hurt them.
“Donatello? I will have to make sure that Raphael is chained before the hour is up. But I will leave you two alone for the most part if you wish.”
Donnie was quick to answer her. “Yes… T.thank you”
His tear stained eyes turned up to Venus, noticing something that he’d noticed before. When he’d first met the female he’d thought that she looked like Raph, but he’d assumed it was just because of the obvious Kame heritage, now he wasn’t so sure.
The dark Kame skin colour was similar, only Venus’s was a dark forest green whereas Raph’s was emerald. Her eyes were a different colour but the shape was the same, even her soft smile was similar to his mates.
Venus seemed to be studying Raph as intently as Donnie was studying her. Her deep red eyes flicking over every part of his body before she made her way over to the door and left, the sound of the lock clicking into place echoing around the room.
