Leonardo sighed and rubbed at his face before letting his arms flop back onto the bed. Training was done for the day and meditation hadn't really helped the turmoil the turtle currently felt. He was stressed out, and he knew it, but there's no way he'd say it aloud. Raph had snuck out twice already this week and it was only Wednesday, he had to drag Don to bed at least three times, Master Splinter had been sick though thankfully he'd felt much better this morning, and Leo could've sworn that Mikey had been packing away 10 chocolate bars per day he'd been so hyper. The eldest turtle was worn out and was partially considering just sleeping but it was only 4:30, if he went to bed now he'd wake up in the middle of the night.

He sighed again and continued staring at the ceiling. No, he wouldn't go to bed just yet but he didn't really want to do much of anything either. He just lied on his bed, small random thoughts passing through his mind once in a while but otherwise it was blank and he didn't plan on encouraging anything of a faster pace. He closed his eyes and simply relished in the slight comfort that the sheets under him could provide.

The door made a small squeak as if it had been nudged and the turtle felt a presence enter his room, stopping part way. He looked toward it and found Michelangelo's cat settled in the middle of his room, looking at him as if studying him and tail twitching in a smooth continuous motion. Klunk suddenly tilted his head to the side as if asking permission which elicited a small chuckle from him. Apparently that counted for the cat got up and jumped up to join him on the bed, making himself comfortable on Leo's chest.

"Well hello to you too." Leo said quietly as he scratched behind the animal's ear. Klunk started purring and pushed his head further into the turtle's hand. A small smile graced Leo's features and for a while the two of them just stayed like that.

After some time Leo started feeling a bit better and his hand flopped back to his bed. A sigh escaped him and in response Klunk inched his way closer to the turtle's face. When he was close enough, a little textured tongue licked Leo's chin and the small furry head looked up into his face. Leo chuckled and rubbed the cat's head.

"I guess you're looking after me now aren't you?"

A/N: I couldn't resist, I love animals. :P
