Scars

Donatello looked down at Michelangelo's arm. The large cut on his forearm glared back at him. He quickly turned around and grabbed some ointment and bandages. As he turned back to his lover, the blond was holding his arm with wide, fearful eyes. Donatello sighed.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Is that the stuff that stings?" Mikey asked nervously.

Donnie sighed again.

"Yes, Mikey, it's the stuff that stings, but it helps. It's either this or have your cut get infected," he said. Mikey pouted and gave his older brother puppy dog eyes, but when he noticed that his brother wasn't giving in, he huffed and held out his arm. Donnie nodded his head then squeezed some ointment on a q-tip then gently placed it across the cut arm. Mikey bit his bottom lip to stop from squealing in pain and tried to stay as still as he could while his lover wrapped a bandage around his arm.

As his brother started placing pieces of medical tape on his bandage, Mikey eyes trailed up Donatello's arms. They were covered in bruises. Some black and some a dark red, but the biggest was a dark purple. He moved his free hand up and lightly stroked the outside of the bruise. Donnie gave a little jump of surprise then glanced down to where his brother touched him.

"Does it hurt?" Mikey asked.

Donatello shook his head as he went back to finish taping the blond's arm.

"Not really. I try not to pay any mind to it," he said. He placed the last strip of tape on the bandage then moved back. "There, I'm finished."

Mikey took his arm back and looked over his brother's work.

"Cool," he said then glanced up at the brunette's face. There, on his left temple, was another bruise, same as the one on his arm, large and purple. Mikey leaned in and gently kissed it.

"You got hurt to, but you don't seem to care," he said softly.

Donnie gave him a gentle smile and shook his head again.

"Bruises aren't of any importance. Cuts are something to worry about. In case you don't know, it's a good idea to keep your blood inside your body," the brunette joked.

Mikey giggled and rested his forehead against his lover's. They both stay silent, thanking whoever cared to listen that the wounds they had all gotten tonight weren't major.
