Chapter 4
Now it was don’s turn to be Jubilant in the morning, Leo stood watching him in amazement as Don was fixing himself a full breakfast; Cereal with fruit and a bagel, the bagel he held in his mouth as he sat, then took a bite while reading the paper, humming to himself with every chew. He stops when he feels Leo’s hand touch his forehead, “Leo?” Leo checks Don’s Eyes, after swallowing his bagel, Leo looks into his throat, on his tongue, touches Don’s arms, his shell, patting his thighs, “Hey what about your rule of no sex? Tease” Don jokes………..jokes? Don hardly jokes, especially about Sex, “alright, what’s going on?”
Don looks at his leader/brother innocently, “What?” Leo narrows his eyes, before he said anything more though, mikey came bouncing in on his feet heading for the left over’s to have pizza and Chinese for breakfast, “Morning Donnie-boy, you sleep well?” Don faltered in eating his cereal as he fought back a blush, did they hear him with raph last night? Nah, Leo didn’t otherwise he wouldn’t be asking, Mikey must have though otherwise he wouldn’t be wearing that grin.
“Dojo, after breakfast” Leo’s stiff and hardened tone had both wincing, they knew they were busted since their attitudes did a flamingly obvious 180 from being miserable, anxious, pent up and grouchy. After leaving the kitchen, Leo finds raph in the dojo, as usual, warming up for their morning session, he noticed even raph seemed more jubilant than normal, he’s never a morning person and his morning grump always lasted till almost lunch time, now he’s humming to himself while doing warm-ups.
The morning session continued as normal, though again, don mikey and raph were a lot more playful, teasing and frisky than was considered normal for them, well actually Mikey being frisky and playful was normal. So for him it was more like mikey was BACK[/i] to normal, don’s demeanor however it was like he swallowed a mikey pill that morning, and then Raph, definitely raph was not exactly being normal. Even when casey is around he hardly gets playful during sparring sessions, which with raph it ends in a growl-fest of who’s more tough or more muscle.
Leo kept his eyes on them and watching raph as he fought the two younger brothers, Leo felt a tingle, shaking his head he set that familiar feeling aside, he made a promise to himself even if his brothers broke it with eachother, he was honor-bound to hold his promise true. Raph leaves the Dojo first and Leo catches his arm, “Hey raph, it’s your turn for a supply run, we need milk, eggs, veggies, Mikey’s running out of Icecream and Don needs more coffee, and I’m almost out of my Jasmine tea” Raph blinks and nods, “Alright, I’ll head out in a bit, the shell-cycle needs refueling” Leo nods letting him go, “You two stick around, I want to talk” Raph glanced back knowing that Leo noticed their attitude change, giving his two brothers a comforting smile he walks on heading for the garage.
After Raph leaves or the supplies, leo confronts both brothers, “What is going on” he asks directly to both of them, “What do you mean?” Don answers first, “Yeah leo, you’re being weird.” Leo shifts a glance between both his brothers narrowing his eyes and frowning, “You both broke the abstinence promise didn’t you?” don and mikey’s eyes flatten knowing that was coming and both answer in a simultaneous, “Nope” which almost had leo falling over like some anime character.
Amused by Leo’s reaction, mikey curls his hands up like a lucky cat statue, and don holds his chin with one hand all exaggerated in being intuitive, “If you wanna get technical it was Raph that broke our promise” don nods with every word enforcing mikey was right, leo looks at their faces with a skeptical look, “You’re serious?” Mikey and don nod only proving further, yeah, raph went to them willingly.
Though he still wasn’t happy that he goaded mikey and don into having sex after they swore abstinence, though he figured it’d likely happen sooner or later to begin with, I mean, come on, 3 months after becoming hyper-aware of eachother? It was common sense, still though……raph, the turtle they were trying to spare from some form of embarrassment, “Did he say anything?” Leo finally asks after mulling it over. Mikey and don just shrugged, “He didn’t say anything about it with me, Donnie?” The young scientist shook his head raising his hands questioningly
“He didn’t even flinch when I asked him about walking in on us 3 months ago, so it’s clear that he knows. But he didn’t seem bothered or upset about it though.” Mikey nods, “yeah, he didn’t react in any way that was negative when I brought it up either” Leo looks back at the elevator hearing this, “Really?” they both give an agreeing sound only further compounding the fact Raph came to them as opposed to them simply just giving in, now the next step was talking to the instigator himself.
