--------
Leo really was having a bad week... no months... he was cranky and having mood swings, and he didn't know why...
It didn't help that not that long ago, Don seemed to be starting to catch a cold.
Leo wondered why this was happening at once, his eyes widened as his stomach told him it was time to run to the bathroom
He groaned and got up rushing into the bathroom.
Mikey winced hearing the unpleasant sound of some one tossing cookies, "Looks like leo's in the bathroom again"
Raph walked into the Bathroom, and grabbed a wet washcloth, concerned for him as he rubbed his shell.
Leo wretched the last of his meal before just sitting there feeling like crap
Raph crouched down beside him, and lulled him gently against him before wiping his face with the cloth.
"Thank you" said Leo looking at his mate tiredly
Raph nodded. He felt guilty that he couldn't help his mate any more then he was. He wished he knew what was going on with him.
Leo stood up still not feeling all that great, wanting to get out of theroom before he got sick again.
Raph helped his mate out of the bathroom. "Hey Leo! You gonna be up to going to the museum later tonight with April?" asked mikey
"I'll try," he said leaning against raph lightly
Mikey nodded. "Oh this trip to the museum will be great!" Don managed just before he sneezed.
Mikey looked at Donny worried over whether he should go with his cold.
"Maybe you shouldn't go Donny..." He said concerned, and wondered what was going around in the lair lately, first Leo's down with stomach problems, and now Don's got a cold.
"Please? I've been wanting to see the dinosaur exhibit for a long time," said Donny looking at his mate, he really did want to go.
Mikey sighed. "Ok, I guess." He said. "But is there something in the water or something, first Leo, and now you and this cold..."
"I'll check the water after we get back, I'd like to know what's causing us to be sick too" said Donny before he sneezed again
"Bless you" Mikey said.
"Thank you" said Donny
"And don't mind me if I avoid drinking any water in here for a while..." Mikey added.
Raph helped his mate to a seat, and then looked to Don and Mikey. "When are we leaving for the museum?"
"In about 3 hours, were waiting for most of the people to clear out before we go in," said Donny
Raph nodded.
"I guess I have enough time to start testing the water" he mused to himself before walking away sneezing
He got some water from the lair to test.
He wandered back to his lab ready to start the testing
He managed not to sneeze for the moment as he went to work.
Leo leaned against raph as they sat on the couch he felt tired and still a little queasy, since
He had three hours to wait maybe he could take a nap or something.
Raph just held his mate as he rubbed his back gently.
Leo really hated being sick... it always left him languid, but some reason this stomach flu felt different.
This was awful, he was the leader, and he wasn't supposed to get sick.
But as his mate had argued before everyone gets sick you can't stop from being sick
At least he wasn't alone in his sickness.
Donny had caught a cold, and would rest no matter what his mate would say
"I wish I knew what I had." Leo complained to his mate.
"Probably just a stomach flu, it'll be over soon." said raph
Leo sighed and nodded.
Leo relaxed against raph, he really wanted this throwing up every morning and night to end, it was driving him crazy
Raph hoped it would pass soon, he felt sorry for his mate.
Raph hated seeing leo like this, his mate was going crazy from all of the losing his food and feeling so dull all the time, raph could tell that much
"Anything I can do?" He asked softly.
"Let me cuddle up to you and take a nap," said Leo
Raph nodded and pulled Leo against him gently.
Leo cuddled into raph relaxing his eyes lids drooping
Raph leaned back in the couch as he held his mate, listening as his breathing slowly evened out in sleep.
He smiled at Leo, he was glad his mate was able to relax he had spent most of the night hovering around the bathroom
He closed his eyes as he rested his head on his mates, and just enjoyed the quiet moment.
Mikey walked into Donny's lab wanting to check on his mate
Donny was hovering over his equipment as he checked on the water testing.
Mikey smiled watching for a moment knowing how cranky Donny got when ever some interrupted him
Donny got the results, which confused him as it proved it wasn't anything in the water...
"Weird." he said looking it over
"What's weird?" Mikey asked
Donny jumped surprised looking behind him seeing mikey he gave his mate a mild glare before answering "there's nothing wrong with our water"
"I dunno, maybe you guys caught something on one of our trips to the surface lately..."
"Could be." said Donny putting down the test results
Mikey stepped up and carefully hugged his mate from behind.
Donny smiled enjoying the hug, nuzzling his mate's cheek
Mikey smiled and nuzzled back. "Just get better."
"I will," said Donny
Mikey nodded.
They stayed in an embrace for the moment, Donny smiling happy that at least he could touch his mate even though he couldn't kiss him
Mikey laid his head on Don's shoulder for a moment, before lifting his head. "How's the scratch on your leg?"
"It still hurts a little bit, but I think it's healing"
Mikey nodded. "Glad to hear it, it doesn't seem to give you much trouble."
"Its just this cold, its so annoying"
"Yes well, most are, from what I hear."
Donny sighed a light smile on his lips "Your lucky, you haven't had a cold since you were little"
Mikey grinned. "I'm Mikey the battle nexus champion! I don't catch colds!" He said with a hehe
Donny eyes narrowed "Mikey, don't make me have to hit you"
Mikey blinked. "Sorry." He said softly.
Donny nuzzled him "Just remember mikey, raph won't say anything when he does smack you" he kissed mikey's cheek
Mikey nodded with a grin and nuzzled back; he really wished he could kiss his mate.
