Author Notes: Well I was asked nicely if there could be another chapter to this, so I agreed, as I'm quite flattered you guys like it! This is basically a Don/Leo chapter.
I'm Sorry
When Donatello opened his eyes he become aware of two things, he had a banging headache, and for some reason he was draped around his big brother. In fact, he wasn't just draped around Leonardo, he had him in a fair imitation of a death grip. He loosened his hold slightly and looked up at his big brother, who was looking back down at him in concern.
"Hey Donnie." Leo greeted softly. Don made an unintelligible noise in the back of his throat before shifting slightly.
"What time is it?" He asked, wondering why Leo wasn't practicing, and why he looked so tired.
"It's almost ten." Leo told him gently. Don was about to ask why they weren't practicing when he suddenly found himself being thrown into memories of the previous night. Not only had he gotten wasted, but he had disappointed Master Splinter. Slight tracks on Leo's plastron reminded Don that not only had he done that, he'd embarrassed himself further by blubbering against Leo until he passed out.
"Would you like some Aspirin or some Tylenol?" Leo asked after the silence. When Don nodded Leo detangled himself from his brother before sliding off the bed and going to retrieve what could help his brother feel better. It felt longer than it actually was for Leo to return with some water and two tablets of Tylenol.
"Thanks Leo." Don murmured taking what he offered gratefully. "I'm…I'm so sorry about last night."
"What are you sorry about Don?" Leo asked mildly.
"I'm so sorry I dragged you out of the lair to pick me up after I drank myself stupid for no good reason, and that I disappointed Master Splinter, and-"
"Donnie, hush." Leo cut in gently. "It's ok, no one is mad at you. If anything we're mad at ourselves for not knowing how bad the situation has gotten."
"There was no reason for me to do that. It was stupid."
"No one is denying you going out to get plastered was stupid, and believe me, Casey and I will be having a long talk about it. As of now, Splinter has canceled all practice until he talks to us all. Once he sees how everyone else feels, we'll go from there. I'll make sure of it you won't be fighting." Leo told him. Don did not envy Casey, but had to resist the urge to throw himself back into Leo's arms. His eldest brother was really going to go to bat for him, keep him from fighting if he didn't want to. Memories from the night before trickled back into his mind making Don sigh.
"I made such an ass out of myself." Donnie groaned burying his head in his hands in embarrassment.
"Don't worry I'm not going to repeat anything." Leo assured him, and by the look on his face, Don must have unloaded some stuff on him. He took that moment to really look at Leo and decided he must have been up all night.
"I should probably talk to splinter." Don said weakly.
"Why don't you take a shower first, then I'll make sure your uninterrupted." Leo offered, and Don smiled.
"Thanks Leo, you're the best." Don said, drifting into the bathroom. Leo waited until the water was running before he decided it was about time to have that talk with Casey.
