A/n: This one was written a long time ago, before I even made the account on this site. I never meant to publish it but since I haven't updated any oneshot for many days, I decided to do a little tweaking with this one and publish it here.

The turtles are about 5 years old in this one.

Pillow

It was late morning and the boys had just finished with their weapons-training a few minutes ago. Their sensei had ended the practice earlier than usual since all four of them looked tired. Mikey especially, kept yawning during the whole session and even nodded off once while watching Donnie and Leo spar.

As soon as they were dismissed, Donnie and Raph went to their rooms to take a nap while Mikey disappeared into the kitchen for some snacks.

Leo, not wanting to sleep even though he was tired, decided to do something else to distract him from the images of his soft, comfortable mattress which kept popping in his head.

He was reading one of his comic-books when Mikey came out of the kitchen and plopped down next to him, leaning his head on Leo's shoulder. The blue-masked turtle looked at his little brother with confusion written over his face.

"Mikey? What are you-"

"Shhh! I'm sleepy and I need a pillow."

"Mikey, you already have a pillow in your room."

"I know, but it isn't warm and comfy like you."

The freckled tot snuggled closer to him and started to doze off within a few minutes. A content smile formed on the eldest brother's face as he eased Mikey in a more comfortable position in his lap and pulled him closer.

"Sweet dreams, little brother. Sleep well."

"...night Ani..."

Mikey mumbled sleepily and cuddled even closer to Leo, the eldest's amused chuckles following him to dreamland.
