Chapter 9: Blessings and Dates

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo all knelt on the ground of the dojo, waiting for Master Splinter to speak. They had let Donatello tell about what had happened during mating season. The genius would be able to tell their father in a sensitive and informative way. Now, they waited for their father's words.

"My sons," Master Splinter started. The four automatically straightened their backs, ready for whatever their father had to say. "I am surprised with the outcome of this season. I have not expected the four of you to all be mates. I have to say, I am glad that our family wasn't split because of this… situation. Now, we must find out where we go from here."

"Of course, Sensei," Leo bowed, speaking for his brothers.

"I want to know that you will all be equal in this new found relationship," Master Splinter stated.

"Hai, Sensei." All four turtles bowed to their father.

"I also think it would be wise to keep this from April and Casey. They will not understand," Splinter mused, making sure his sons understood him.

"Hai, Sensei."

Master Splinter turned to his sons once again. "I don't want to hear about you three ganging up on Donatello. Just because he is the submissive in your mateship, does not mean you can order him around. Do you understand?"

"Hai, Sensei," Leo, Raph, and Mikey all bowed, trying to force down the shock at the implications that they would force Donnie to do anything for them.

"Donatello, you are not allowed to manipulate your brothers with your position either."

"Hai, Sensei."

Splinter took the time to look at each of his sons, measuring their reactions. Leo, Raph, and Mikey all looked a little offended at the thought of them forcing Donnie to do anything while Donnie looked saddened at the thought of the implications of manipulating his brothers. He nodded to himself before saying, "Then you have my blessing."

"Thank you, Sensei!" Leo spoke out, speaking for all his brothers. "We really appreciate it."

"You are dismissed."

The four gave another bow before leaving the dojo, Leo pulling Donnie into his side while Raph and Mikey shared a high three. The four decided to gather in Mikey's room after the talk with Splinter. Even though their father accepted their new relationship, they needed to figure out a dynamic between themselves to maintain the team they had built.

Leo shut the door peering around the room. Raph and Mikey were both sitting on the bed while Donnie had taken the only chair in the room. He sighed before speaking, "That went better than expected."

"I thought Splinter was going to be piss," Raph put in.

Mikey nodded, "But do we really have that kind of power of Donnie just because we're dominants."

"Yes," Donnie answered, fiddling with a paper on the desk next to him. "When you guys give me an order, you'll release a hormone that only a submissive can respond to. I'll have to do what you say, no matter how much I don't want to. Nothing will be able to change that."

"Damn," Raph cursed. "We're gonna have to be careful with what we say to you. We could unintentionally do it."

Donnie shook his head. "I think it would only work with something you're really passionate about. It won't be like you telling me to let you in the shower first."

"That's good," Mikey breathed.

"Do you think you'll have that kind of power Sensei was talking about, Donnie?" Leo asked.

Raph snorted. "Come on, Fearless. You can answer that for you. If Donnie were to come up with those big brown eyes, you'd do anything he'd ask." Donnie blushed at the words, thinking that Raph was right. They all had a certain amount of power over each other and with the consummation of their relationship, it would only be stronger.

"So, it sucks that we can't really remember our first time," Mikey put in.

"What?"

"Man, fuck it. You're right."

"Come to think of it, I don't really remember after sending out a call to Leo."

Leo smirked, taking a step towards Donnie. "Maybe we should change that."

Donnie blushed at the intense blue eyes and almost gave in to those smoldering eyes when Raph spoke up, "Not when Splinter is in the other room. He'd be able to hear everything."

"Ugh! Gross! I don't even want to think about that!" Mikey cried out, covering his ears.

Leo backed down. "You're right, Raph. But maybe we should do this right."

"Do what right?" Raph asked, sitting up on the edge of the bed.

"We should go on dates."

"Dates?" Donnie asked, blinking in confusion.

Leo nodded. "Like we can go as a group and even pairs. We can each woo Donnie how we see fit and figure out how we can work better as a group. We are all in this mateship together. It is only right we figure it out together."

"I agree with Leo," Mikey put in. "How about we all go on a run together tonight and start individual ones later? We can each take Donnie out and even each other so we can figure everything out."

"Like when whoever has Donnie goes out, the other two can have their own date night. Then, no one is left out," Raph inputted.

"Is that okay, Donnie?" Leo asked. Raph and Mikey turned to the turtle in question, making sure he was okay with them making the plans.

Donnie looked up and gave them a sweet smile that practically made them melt into a puddle. "Of course. That sounds really nice."
