Chapter One: Welcome Home.
It had been two years since Leonardo has last been home. During that time, the three brothers and the old rat left behind had gone through many hardships during that time.
Raphael would want to argue with that, but Donatello and Michelangelo wouldn't. Without their older brother was a lot more difficult then they had imagined. Many things had gotten out of hand as well.
Raphael had gone out as the Nightwatcher; to keep the villains in their place and to keep the city of New York safe.
Michelangelo joined the birthday party business; posing off as Cowabunga Carol.
Donatello had began to work for the It-Tech support.
The jobs were not easy. Donatello and Michelangelo didn't like working where they did, but at least they made some money.
Raphael, on the other hand, actually got to lay back some. Sure saving the city wasn't easy either, but at least he wasn't put under the pressure of having to work at a real job.
Donatello had asked him so many times to try and work somewhere, but every time he did it had always ended in a fight or Raphael would just blow it off and completely ignore the subject.
Yes, things were not going well without their eldest brother.
Even things were difficult for Master Splinter. Neither he nor Donatello could keep Raphael in line, it came down to the point where he just allowed the hothead to go up to the surface when he needed to.
In all honesty, they just couldn't wait until Leonardo came back home, then things would finally be put back into order or so they thought...
Leonardo frowned as he made his way through the familiar sewers that he hadn't been down in almost two full years.
Needless to say, he was actually glad to be home. It come down to the point where he had gotten so busy that he couldn't even write a letter or phone a line in to his family.
Leo had just gotten so caught up in his own world that he had forgotten everyone else.
April had brought him back, made him finally realize that his family truly did need him and that what his training in South America really was all about.
Taking a deep breath, Leonardo pulled down the hidden pipe that opened the stone wall that led to his home.
A small smile graced his features as he walked into the room and saw that both of his brother's were asleep.
Donatello was snoring softly as he was sprawled in the armchair; a magazine covering his face as he slept.
Michelangelo was sprawled out among the couch, his left hand laid over his plastron and millions of candies and sweets surrounded him.
Deciding not to wake up his younger brother's, Leonardo headed towards his fathers room. Unaware of the golden eyes following him from up above the railings...
-0-
"Father?" Leo asked softly, his voice was barley above a whisper. When he saw his father meditating, he quietly closed the tattie-doors and kneeled in front of the old rat before him.
Master Splinter managed to crack a smile, the candles surrounding him almost seemed to sense his emotions as they glowed brightly; the light of the candles flickering around the room.
"Leonardo my son... you have returned." The old rat spoke calmly as his soft black eyes looked upon his son. His hands placed calmly across his lap as he looked upon his eldest son for the first time in almost two years.
"Yes Father. I'm sorry for taking so long to return. I had gotten so caught up in my own world, that I have forgotten about everyone else." Leonardo said softly, his head bowing in shame, his brown eyes clenched tightly.
"Forgive me sensei, I have failed..."
Master Splinter managed a smile at this. "On the contrary my son, you are now much stronger." His eyes danced in happiness as Leonardo looked up at him with a fond expression on his face.
"You have done me proud my son." The old rat said softly.
Leonardo smiled at this and he pulled his master into a hug once they had both risen to their feet.
"I have missed you Leonardo."
Leonardo chuckled as he hugged his father a little tighter. "I have missed you too father."
When they had both pulled away, Splinter frowned slightly as he noticed his hotheaded sons presence from within the door way.
"It is good to have you back my son, but maybe you should talk to Raphael. Your absence has been particularly difficult for him, though he may never admit it."
Leonardo was just about to retort to his father when he turned around and saw his second youngest brother standing before him from the doorway. "Hey." Leo said awkwardly, obviously knowing that Raphael had heard everything that he had his father had been talking about.
"Yeah, 'ey welcome home." Raphael said with an awkward grin, his hands playing placed out before him as if he were actually welcoming Leonardo back.
"Yeah, thanks." Leonardo said with a grin, chuckling nervously.
The hothead yawned then as he stretched his arms over his head. "Well... 'm goin' ta bed." With that said, Raphael walked out of the room. He chuckled as he walked passed his sleeping brothers and he knocked off the magazine from Donatello's face as he passed by saying:
"'ey! Leo's back, betta go say hello befer he leaves again."
As soon as Raphael had knocked the magazine off of his face and Leonardo's name was mentioned, Donatello awoke with a jolt and he was brought into an arm lock by Leonardo and he laughed as Leo noogied his head playfully.
"Hey! Cut it out!" Don teased playfully and he almost burst out laughing as Michelangelo almost fell off of the couch as he looked at their older brother with wide and unsure eyes.
"Leo! Is that really you!" Mikey exclaimed, a huge grin crossing his face as he brought Leonardo into a tight hug. "I'm like dreaming aren't I?"
Leonardo chuckled nervously as he embraced his little brother back in return. "No Mikey, you're not dreaming."
Michelangelo grinned at this and he pulled Leonardo closer, his eyes closing softly. "Good, because I have nightmares about birthday parties."
Leonardo frowned as he could hear the sadness within Michelangelo's voice. Had things really gotten that bad without him here?
To be continued! :D
