Enjoy the chapter!

When Leo woke up, he was surprised to see it was only about 8 AM. Judging on how he felt, he'd probably only gotten 3-ish hours of sleep. "Well, I'm gonna be tired all day..." he muttered to himself, groggily getting out of bed. He made his way through his still-messy room.

"I'll have to apologize for blaming them for trashing my room," he reminded himself, making his way to the kitchen. On his way over, he noticed Raph, Casey and Mike asleep on the couch. When he saw the bandages on Raph and Casey, he drew in a short breath. Had HE done that?

He immediately erased the thought. He'd made a promise, and he kept his promises.

Well, he did when it was him in control. He had no idea what had happened the night before, after he'd turned.

He started to make some tea for himself; he would've made breakfast, but he'd blown up the toaster last time he'd glared at it. As he sat and drank his tea, April and a tired Don walked in, April's hair being smoothed down after a brushing.

When she saw Leo, her eyes widened. "H-Hey, Leo," she said, forcing a smile.

Leo oblivious to her nervousness, waved back. "Hey, guys." He might as well ask. "Did I, uh, keep you guys up all night?"

Don nodded sheepishly, yawning. "Y-Yeah, kinda."

Leo looked into his tea cup. "What happened to Raph and Casey?"

April stepped behind Don, who cast a worried glance at her. "Uh, you kinda did..."

Leo's eyes widened and stared at Don. "Were the wounds bad?"

Don bit his lip. "Well, they didn't need stitches..."

Leo threw his hands in the air, accidentally spilling his tea but not noticing. "Well, that just solves everything!" he exclaimed.

April ran out of the room; Leo's expression saddened. "Great. I hurt my family, got 3 hours of sleep, and now April's terrified of me! April!" he called, following her.

Don sighed sadly as he started to clean the spilt tea.

Leo followed April to the lab, where the redhead sat on a cot, head in hands. The werewolf bent down and looked April in eye. "April?"

April looked up at him with bleary eyes. "Yes?"

"Was I that bad?" Leo asked, sitting next to her.

"Well, let's see, you tackled me, choked Casey, and cut Casey's face, and Raph's leg..." she listed, her voice rising with every word.

Leo winced at her volume. "Yep, that sounds bad. Could you, um, explain the night to me?" he asked, leaving the fact that she didn't have to in his tone.

April shuddered, but nodded.

"...And, that's all I know. Ask one of the others for the part that I missed," April finished.

Leo's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. "Thank you for that, um, detailed explanation."

April smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. It did feel good to get that off my chest, though I don't know why."

Leo smiled in spite of himself. "Does this mean that you won't rum away whenever I get a little bit mad?" he asked hopefully.

April's hand made a 'sort-of' gesture. "Probably until you get cured."

"OK, hopefully that'll be soon!" Leo said as he got up. "Bye!"

April waved, smiling, as he left.

When Leo got back to the kitchen, Don was making some coffee while watching the tea pot and putting bread in the toaster. "Hey, Leo. Sorry about all that."

Leo did a tight-lipped, fake smile. "She said she'll be over it when I'm cured."

Don gave him a real smile. "I just need a day or 2 to analyze your DNA sample."

'Why does that sound like it wouldn't work?' Leo asked himself as he took over the tea and caught one of the toasts from the machine and gave it to Don. As he sat down with his tea and a bowl of cereal, Raph and Casey, the former rubbing his eye as Casey rubbed the back of his head. Leo grimaced at the sight of the bandages on Casey's face and Raph's leg before giving them his best fake smile.

"Morning, guys. You sleep OK?"

Raph glared at him. "We went ta bed at 5:30, an' it's 9 in da mornin'; whadda ya t'ink?" he growled.

Leo's gaze fell to the table as Casey went to get some coffee from Don. "I'm sorry," the werewolf whispered.

Raph's gaze softened. "Leo, I-"

Leo snapped his head over to Raph and stood up forcefully, banging the table on accident. "NO, you're right! It's my fault for getting bitten by the damned wolf! It's my fault for keeping you up all night! It's my fault for fucking injuring you!" he screamed, and everyone took a step back as Leo got into Raph's face.

"Leo..."

"'Leo' nothing! You think I like being a damn werewolf?! You think I like hurting people?! You think I like getting this fucking pissed?! Well, news flash! NO! I don't like it! I fucking hate it!" The pissed leader went to his room and slammed the door, leaving a shocked family and friend behind.

Too short for comfort! It's not my shortest, but it's definitely not my longest, either. I'm sorry for slow updates, but there will be a sequel, sooooo... More torture for you! Sorry! Anyway, review, rant, flame! BYE!
