Donatello's POV
After Leonardo left, we all stood still staring at each other. I knew it would come to this. I wasn't backing down. I didn't care what they said. I needed Leo.
"Let's cut the shit." Raph started right away. Raph doesn't mess around. It could be a good or bad thing depending on the sitatution.
I crossed my arms and waited for him to continue.
"We all want a piece of Fearless? Am I right? You all have been giving him that look." Raph stated the obvious.
'I want more than a piece." I snapped at him, glaring. He laughed and turned his head to the side, eyes glittering with amusement.
"You are trying to say something there, Donnie?" He asked.
My hands clenched. As if! He knew damn well what I was getting at. "You only have a physical attraction to Leo. You will end up hurting him! So back off, Raph!"
There I had said it. I felt like I had just dropped a burden off my shoulder. Now Raph knew that I would call out his little plan. He knew now that if he ever hurt Leo, I would be there to kick his teeth in!
Raph growled at me, very serious now. I backed up a step. Crap! He was like a cannon coming at me. Mikey shot between us. "Whoa dudes!"
"HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?" Raph shouted at me over Mikey's shoulder. I shuddered at the force of his voice. He would have hit me if he could of reached me. "How The fuck would you know anything? You sit in you little lab all day trying to pick my brain, Donnie? How the fuck would you know what I think of Leo? What about you? You fit into your fucking theory too? Or only I get the fucking pleasure!"
Okay…maybe I misjudge…
I stared back at him with wild eyes. "You just never seemed… interested…in..I mean..you fight a lot..." I trailed off.
Raphael bared his teeth at me. "You know what, Donnie? You are going to regret saying that. You're the one with a fucking problem. Not me. At least, I don't sneak around with photos."
My heart dropped in my chest. Oh my fucking…oh my..he knew! How did he know?
My face must have shown what I was thinking because Raph laughed, coldly.
"Yeah, I know about your little porn site."
Mikey backed up, eyes the size of saucers. "Porn? Of Leo?" He stared at me, his expression unreadable.
I swallowed, feeling lower then dirt. I shifted, uneasy. I opened my mouth to talk, but the words were caught in my throat. I had no real way of justifying myself about this. I was guilty as charged. I was a sicko. Raphael was right about me. I was a hypocrite.
"Damn! I would have never guessed, Donnie! Will you show me?" Mikey was suddenly, latched on to me. I saw Raph's look of triumph, stagger. Heck, even I was shell-shocked.
'W-what..?" I said, slightly surprised, but relieved at the same time. Mikey didn't think I was a freak. But Mikey seemed to accept things pretty easy to begin with.
"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I have some wicked drawings, but real pictures would be sooooooooo much better!" Mikey was saying it all in one breath. I felt like my brain was overloading.
"No! I'm not showing them to you." I said, trying to push him away, so I could have some breathing space. Drawings? Did he just say drawing?
"WHAT?" He wailed. "But you showed Raph!"
"No, I didn't!"
"This is crazy." I heard Raphael say, quietly. We both looked over at him. He was staring at the ground. "I still can't believe it. There has to be something wrong with me. I mean…I like my brother! What the hell? What. The Hell?"
Raph put a hand to his face. I felt compassion rush into me. He was my enemy, but before that, he was my brother. I understood. I knew what it was like. Raphael wasn't going to have to go through it alone, like I had.
"Hey, I felt the same way." I said to him. Mikey nodded in agreement beside me. Raph lowered his hand a little to look at me.
I took a deep breath and went on. "It is completely natural in our state that we would turn to each other."
Raphael made a sound of disagreement at that. "Nothing about this is natural."
"Well, I don't see April here, holding our hands." I snapped, and then took another breath. Geez, Raph was frustrating.
"Look, we only have each other. We have been raised together as brothers, but our DNA is different. So…what I'm trying to say is…"
"It is okay to love Leo." Mikey finished and I shot him an appreciated gaze, before turning back to Raph.
"There is nothing wrong with you, Raph. We have just reached that stage in life, where we want a mate. And with so little options. We all have picked the best one."
Raph's face broke into a wide smile. "That stage, huh? Wonder when old, Fearless is gonna reach that stage? The guy doesn't seem to have a clue. I mean, I am hitting on him with every thing I got and he still acts like we are just having a bad day. How thick can you get?"
Mikey nodded. "But I think it is cute. For once, I know something that Leo doesn't."
Raph pulled Mikey into a noogie. "No, you just like jumping on him and him letting you, you pervert!"
"ooooooooooouch! Cut it out!" Mikey squirmed.
"Well, now what?" I asked, looking at them. "Leo got us up here to work things out, but I am going to be honest. This doesn't mean I'm going to let you have him."
Mikey pulled free from Raph. "Who says we would expect anything else?"
I smiled. "Then a friendly challenge? Winner gets Leo?"
'A challenge?" Raph asked. "You guys are not a challenge. "He smirked at me. But I just smiled.
"We can't fight like before. All it did was worry Leo. But I think we should have a rule." Mikey said, hopping up and down with excitement.
"What?" Both Raph and I said together.
"Whoever Leo chooses, the rest of us have to accept that. Cuz I do not want to have to spend my life beating you guys up because you won't leave my honeybuns alone!"
There was a beat of silence after that.
"What the fuck did you just say?" Raph said, giving Mikey a look over.
"Honeybun?" I echoed? I exchanged looks with Raph and we bursted out laughing.
"Oh, I am soooooo calling him that!" Raph snorted.
"Well, he does now that you mention it." I said, snickering.
"Hey." Mikey stuck out his bottom lip at us. "That name is trademark by me. Go find your own!"
"Hey, that reminds me. We need to go find old honeybuns." Raph said, chuckling.
I raised an eye ridge at him. "We? I'm the one who is it."
Raphael's grinned widen. "When have I ever listened to Leo?' And with that he bolted, heading off in the direction that Leo took.
"Not if I find him first!" Mikey shouted, sprinting after him.
I stared. "Shit." I breathed and then broke out in a run.
