Donatello's POV
Well, this was a fine mess I was in. How is it that in less than twenty-four hours all my brothers had a thing for our leader now? Is that even scientifically possible? This can't be happening to me.
I had seen that leering look on Raphael's face as he eyed Leo like he was candy. I was about ready gouge his eyes out! I couldn't believe how smooth he was about getting me trapped in the kitchen with Mikey. He had blown, my perfectly thought out plan, out of the water in a matter of seconds!
First Mikey, now Raph! It was beginning to sound like a plot in one of Splinter's soap operas! What had changed for Raph all the sudden? Why was it Leo? Why can't it be someone else? I thought Raph hated Leo! It was probably just physical attraction for him, the snake!
"Dude! Why are you slamming everything around? What did the kitchen do to you?" Mike snapped behind me. I didn't answer. I was too caught up in my thoughts. Plus, I wasn't going to be talking to him. The traitor!
No one even cared to ask how I felt on the matter! No, "oh by the way, I like Leo too." Heck everyone assumed it was a free for all! Where is my say in the matter?
I figured I could take Mikey on, but Raph? Raph never backed down from anything! It was one of the main reasons Leo and him fight all the time. How the shell was I going to get him to walk away? What was I going to do? I had to get things back into my favor!
"Donnie, you're starting to freak me out, man. You look like some evil scientist dude trying to create a monster instead of dinner…"
Mikey sound unnerved. Did it scare him? Well, good! He was the start of all this! He couldn't just keep his hands off of my Leo. That was what probably gave Raph ideas…
"Don.."
I spun around so fast that I heard Mikey give a gasp. "I am on to your little game, Mikey." I hissed. I couldn't believe how my voice was coming out. I sounded nothing like me! But I went with it. I stuck my finger in Mikey's face, forcing him to back up until his shell bumped into the counter.
"I have one thing to say. It won't work! You want to know why? Because I will make sure that it fails. You can't have him! Got it?" I took a deep breath and pulled a nasty smile onto my face.
Mikey stared up at me, mouth parted, alarm in his eyes. "What are you talking about?" He said, softly. But I could tell he was lying. He was caught and we both knew it. He was not going to weasel out of it.
"Leo. Is. Mine!" I deadpanned.
Mikey's eyes expanded and his shocked look went blank. For a second, no one moved. I could practical see the wheels turning in Mikey's head. He was putting two and two together now. I waited. Any second, he was going to run for it. Then all I would have to worry about was Raph. It was going to take a lot to get Raph out of the picture.
Suddenly, Mikey's eyes came back into focus and he frowned. I felt my cool composure falter. Mikey was looking really pissed now. Was he seriously mad? Was he mad because he lost? He probably would call me a name and then run for it. I figured. I waited.
He looked up at me, licked his lips and said, "Says who?".
Fuck. "I beg your pardon?" I asked, darkly.
"I don't see your name any where on Leo. In fact, I bet Leo doesn't have a clue!" Mikey went on, anger ringing out in his voice. He was pissed? This was not how it was suppose to happen! He wasn't supposed to fight back!
"Of course, he doesn't have a clue! He's Leo!" I snapped back, my hands fisted.
Mikey chuckled. "You had me for a moment, Don. But we all know how shy you are. Fact is, you could NEVER tell Leo. So Leo is fair game." He leaned forward, eyes shinning with determination.
"Hey!" I growled. "I liked him first…"
"Pst. Finders keepers, bro." Mikey shrugged, smiling. He picked up the plates. 'Sorry, dude. But I am not going to be quiet on this one. I want Leo. So good luck! You are going to need it."
I watched him walk away to set the table. He acted like nothing had just happened. He wasn't worried at all that I liked Leo too. The little punk! He thought that I was the washed up one! Well, Mikey, you are about to learn a valuable lesson!
"May the best man win!" I said under my breath.
