It was half past eleven when finally the bathroom door opened and Leo emerged carrying Mikey's motionless form.
Both Don and Raph were waiting for him in the corridor. Seeing their younger brother unconscious, Don cast Raph a disdainful look before rushing to Leo, his medical kit in one hand. "Is he alright?"
"Asleep" - Leo whispered back and carried Mikey to his room. When he walked back out, both his brothers were still there.
"How is he? Is he hurt?" - Donnie demanded. Raph said nothing, but he looked anxious for the answer as well.
"Not as far as I can tell" Leo answered, and added, turning to Raph "But not for the lack of trying on your part"
Don relaxed a bit "I'll check on him in the morning." He passed his glance from his leader to the brother he disliked most at the moment noting Leo's grim expression and Raph defiant pose and decided he didn't want to witness the inevitable clash. The genius turned to leave, but then stopped.
"Leo!" he tossed something to his older brother and Leo caught it without thinking.
"Lube, Donnie?"
"For your tomorrow." The resident doctor shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, I don't think either of you is gonna catch me" - Leo said with a thin smile, earning a derisive smirk from the hot head.
Don shrugged his shoulders again "Just in case" - he said and turned to leave. "Goodnight"
As he left, the two rivaling brothers stared at each other.
"Explain yourself!" - Leo demanded in harsh whisper.
"Hey! Mikey's fine, isn't he? He can take it"
"I'm not concerned about him taking it - it's you bringing it on that bugs me! This is no way to treat your brother! Or anyone"
Raph crossed his arms upon his plastron "It's no concern of yours how we run things between us! He didn't use stop words, so what's your problem?"
"You could have seriously hurt him! And he told you you were hurting him. Wasn't that enough?"
Raph gave him a "phew" "And I told him he was a slut. Did any of us mean it?" - he shook his head
"Chill. He had it coming, he knew it was coming, he didn't stop it. Whatta ya want from me? Or are you rather concerned that it turned you on seeing me go rough on him?"
Leo blinked at him then said "Did not!"
Raph smirked sensing a weak spot in Leo's position "Did too. I could feel yer gaze on me all the time. So why doncha use the time before your run to prep yourself with that lube cause I'm so catching ya tomorrow and let me and Mikey deal with our thing ourselves?"
Leo stepped closer in "You don't get it, do you? I'm gonna stop this game if that is your idea of playing it. What could he possibly do to cause you raping him?"
Raph hands bailed into fists, he scowled and spat "I dun wanna talk about it, why doncha go ask the little brat?"
Leo pulled to all his height and held his ground too "I'm asking you. So if you wanna have your chance tomorrow, you will answer me now."
For a second, Leo thought Raph was going to punch him, but the hothead unexpectedly backed down and rubbed his face with his hand "Really dun wanna talk about it" - he muttered then said "he ruined the shellcycle seat, ok?"
"That's it? Raph! He's your brother!"
"And she's my babe!"
However serious the matter was, Leo couldn't help but pick at this unexpected revelation. He raised a brow "Oh... it's a SHE now?" Raph gave him an annoyed look and Leo dropped the smile before it fully appeared on his face.
"But seriously, just because of that? Ruined how?"
Raph shoulders slumped as he was contemplating whether he should reveal the rest. "Ya gotta promise ya won't tell anyone and we're not discussing it anymore".
Now Leo was truly intrigued: "Ok. I won't tell anyone that I know about it."
Raph sighed, then sighed again, making up his mind until he finally made himself spill it "-put-superglue-on-the-seat-n'I-didn't-notice-unti l-I-stuck-n'he-made-me-blow-him-for-release-n-then -he-wenta-fetch-solvent-didn'-come-back-so-I-hadta -tear-m'self-off-m'tail-still-hurting-well-now-his -hurts-too-and-dontcha-dare-laugh!"
Leo put the sternest expression on his face though keeping it there proved to be not so easy "I see" - he said carefully, "did you settle the score? Is it over?"
Raph nodded "can't stay mad at him for too long anyway".
"Ok. I think you both stepped over the line here. But at least you're not a maniac"
"Hey", - Raph said, relaxing now that the matter was cleared "I told you now you tell me. Did that really turn ya on?"
Leo's eyes glossed over as he recalled the scene. "A little" - he admitted, is cheeks darkening."See you...probably not tomorrow" Leo turned to leave, but Raph's hand on his shoulder stopped him.
Raph turned him back and stepped close in "We could just do it already" - he suggested.
"Oh my... you want me so bad, don't you?" Leo mused.
"You have no idea" - Raph exhaled beside his ear. Leo felt warmth emanating from his brother - a sure sign of his excitement, and for a moment just basked in it, before saying "that would be against the rules we all agreed to"
The next moment Raph's lips touched the skin above his collarbone and the hothead's hands closed on the edges of his carapace to pull him closer to their owner. Raph kissed and licked and nipped at his skin where it was most sensitive. Leo hesitated a moment, then tilted his head a little to offer more access for this tantalising mouth. Raph kissed his way up Leo's neck to the swordsman's ear sit and whispered: "I wanna fuck the rules. And the one who set them"
Leo chucked softly and turned his head to look at him from this too close a distance "You will have to work for it" - he said and freed himself from the embrace.
"Night" he said turning to walk off to his own room. Raph didn't try to stop him - his hopes to bend Leo's rules hadn't been too high to begin with.
As Leo was passing Raph's open door he stopped and looked back at his brother, a sly smile on his lips.
"Do you know it's two minutes past midnight already? Tempos fugit" he said.
Raph reacted instantly, surging forward and barreling Leo into his room. Both fell inside the room and Raph's triumphant "My territory" was met with soft laughter of delight from the turtle pinned under his weight.
"But you'll still... have to...work for it... later today" - Leo said between kisses.
"I've never been a lazy bun, - Raph responded, plunging a knee between Leo's legs "So.. - he exhaled after another long kiss "ya wanna play it rough?"
Leo raised his brows and smiled "Have mercy! I have a whole day of running ahead"
"Soft it is, then" - Raph said, and kissed him again before kicking the door shut.
