Hearing a knock on his door, Donnie remembered that Leo and Raphael were next door to him and thought in a panic that his emerald skinned brother might have heard April's scathing words and might be suffering. Swallowing his fury at April in his eagerness to comfort Raphael, Donnie swiftly opened the door.
"You okay, Raph?" Donnie asked anxiously, gazing at his brother. "I'm so sorry for all she said. It's not true. You know that, right? Are you okay? I hope you didn't listen to her. She's nothing more than a poisonous witch!"
"I'm fine…."
"Are you sure? Why don't you have a seat on my bed? You're still injured and….."
"Heh. I'm fine, Donnie…."
"Are you positive, Raphie? Please sit down."
"I am. I just wanted ta talk ta ya," Raphael said, entering the room and then sitting down on the bed.
"About what she said?" Donnie said in alarm and sat down on the bed next to his brother. "I am so sorry, Raph. I would never have dated her if I'd known she was a bitch. Please tell me you're okay."
"Donnie, relax. I'm fine. Honest. That ain't what I wanted ta discuss. I was a little hurt at first, but it ain't true, so I ain't gonna let that bitch rent space in my head. Ya shouldn't neither and it's her loss. Not yers. Yer the bomb, Donnie, and I think the world of ya. I always have. Yer smart, lovin', drop dead sexy and I am so sorry for what happened. Ya didn't deserve it and have only done yer ultimate ta please her. All she did was shatter yer heart and yer dreams and try and destroy our bonds. I say good riddance ta trash. Please don't think that yer gonna be alone forever and will never find love. Ya will."
"Yeah. Sure. All the hot and smart chicks are lined up outside my door. Can you see them?" Donnie said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. "Thanks, Raph, but the bitter reality is that it was it for me and nothing will change. I appreciate your kindness though. What was it you wanted to ask?"
"Why does it gotta be a chick? All they do is cause shit."
"Because I'm not gay. That's why."
"That wasn't the impression I got when ya pursued me."
"I was lonely and desperate and you were there and extremely willing."
Hurt flashed on Raphael's face and Donnie instantly regretted his words.
"I'm sorry, Raph. I didn't mean it like that," Donnie said. "What I meant was, I hadn't ever thought myself gay. I'd fantasized about April for ages and considered myself straight, but as time passed, I realized that we were unlikely to ever hook up and then you and I just sort of fell into a relationship. It made sense. You and I have tons in common, as well as intense chemistry and respect for one another. I was really happy with you, Raph, and you were an amazing mate, but when April pitched at the lair one night, looking immensely distressed after a fight with an ex, I gave her a hug and then one thing led to another. You were out with Casey. I loved being with April. I mean, it was what I'd always wanted, so who cares if the most magnificent being alive was hurt, right? I called you disgusting and vile and said it was sick you were intersex, but it wasn't because I thought so. I wanted you to dump me, so I'd look less of an asshole. Does that make sense? But you didn't. I dumped you and I came off looking like a massive dick, especially as I said I didn't regret being with April and that you were a mistake. You, a mistake? No. How could someone as beautiful and sweet like you ever be a mistake? I knew shortly after me and April hooked up, what a huge error I'd made, but I was too damn proud to admit it and I'd made my bed, right, so I sucked it up? We had niggles, but I thought we could overcome it and be as happy as you and I were, but that wasn't the case. We fought all the damn time and couldn't agree on anything, whereas you and I hardly argued. I was a lucky guy to have you and I threw it all away. Anyway, that's the past and you now have someone, who'll give you all you need and deserve. I never did. I got what I deserve: being alone. I am truly sorry for hurting you, Raph, and I hope you and Leo have a happy and long life together."
"Ya admitted she was a mistake. Does that mean ya really loved me?"
Donnie nodded and said, "Yeah. You were so sweet and caring. You made me coffee and cooked for me. You tended to me when I was sick, made sure I went to bed and didn't work in the lab all night. You were there when I had nightmares. I took you for granted and was a bastard. April only looked after herself."
"And do ya love me now?"
"Why are you asking? You're with Leo and we both know he would never give you up and besides, I'm not worthy of you. Look what I did. I cause you heartache. I'm a slimeball….."
"Answer the question."
"My feelings for you never waned, Raph. I just let my dick rule me and like I said…"
"I still love ya."
Donnie blinked in surprise and said, "But how….?"
"Let me talk," Raphael said and grabbed Donnie's hand. "I LOVE ya and if we hadn't ended, I woulda done anythin' ta make ya happy, no matter what was asked. I was shattered when we ended, but I never hated ya. How could I hate someone as perfect as ya? That's right. I still think yer one helluva guy and I would….I wanna make ya happy again, Donnie, and give ya what ya want: love, kids and fulfil all of yer dreams. I wanna hold ya and make love ta ya again when I'm ready. I wanna have our love story. I wanna be there for yer, like before in all the ways that matter. What do ya say?"
"It's different now. There's Leo," Donnie said, as his heart fluttered with elation that Raphael still loved him.
"We talked and Leo wants ya ta join us."
"You're joking. Leo would never willingly…."
"Let me finish. Leo was slightly against ya bein' with me, but as long we work together and communicate and there ain't no jealousy, he's prepared ta try. Now, what do ya say?"
"Why the heck would you want a shithead like me back, Raph, when you have Leo? Golden boy can do no wrong. He probably shits roses."
"Because I love ya and I ain't never thought ya a shithead," Raphael said and smiled. "Besides, Leo has flaws too."
"Like what?"
"I don't kiss and tell, but he sometimes farts in his sleep," Raphael said with a grin. "They're worse than Mikey's, but that's our secret, okay, babe? And ya know Leo also did a crappy thing when he said he loved me and he didn't. Everybody fucks up sometimes, Donnie. I do a lot."
"If I agree, you know Leo will set limits on our times together and he will be insanely jealous of you. He always was."
"What?"
"You don't remember?"
"Guess not."
"When we were really small, Leo called you his baby and wouldn't let anyone else near you. He even bit Mikey when he tried to hug you. I don't think that jealousy streak has left him, Raph."
"I'll ensure he shares, okay, but I need an answer from ya. Are ya willing ta try again?"
"I'd be a fool to say no," Donnie said and smiled. "Yes."
Raphael immediately pulled Donnie towards him and gently brushed his lips against his, the kiss soft and as delicate as a butterfly's wings and just long enough, so that Donnie could feel the warmth of his brother's skin and inhale his heady and unique scent, which was a mixture of his natural musk, sweat and gasoline.
Butterflies fluttered in Donnie's chest and regret overwhelmed him, as memories of their relationship flashed in his mind: Raphael cooking for him, looking after him, tending to his every need. It had always been Raphael and he'd been a moron to throw away their relationship for someone like April, who wasn't even fit to breathe in the same air as his Raphie.
HIS Raphie.
"Hmmm. Ya smell good," Raphael whispered and nuzzled into Donnie's neck, before sitting back and gazing at him. "How was that?"
"As sensational as ever."
"Do ya remember our first kiss?"
"How could I forget? It was on our favorite rooftop. We snuck away from the others on patrol. I'd been trying to find a way to tell you how I felt for months and I just grabbed you and….."
"We sucked face," Raphael said and chuckled. "It wasn't romantic or anythin' and was sloppy, but it was wonderful all the same, because it was with ya. Then we admitted our feelings ta one another. One of the best days of my life."
"Mine too."
"We'll make lots of memories," Raphael said huskily, leaning close again, his breath tickling Donnie's neck and making him flush and heat pool in his groin.
Raphael's eyes twinkled mischievously and he said, "I turn ya on, huh? I can smell yer pheromones. Damn. Ya smell heavenly. Like leather. New cologne?"
"Yep. I am turned on. You have never failed to drive me wild, Raph, but we should wait. You're healing both emotionally and physically and you're not ready. You know that, so let's take things slowly and just stick to holding hands and kissing."
"I know I ain't ready for more and I know there's no rush. We got the rest of our lives together. I was just saying we will make loads of memories and ya will always know love and happiness from me, but I gotta ask, what if that bitch returns?"
"I'll tell her to beat it. I lost you once. I won't make that mistake again," Donnie said and kissed his brother's lips.
They churred into the kiss, as their tongues danced together and their hearts raced, warmth now pooling in Raphael's groin, his strong musk permeating the air.
Donnie broke the kiss and said breathlessly, "That was epic, but we'd better stop before we get too carried away."
"Yeah," Raphael said, touching his forehead to his brother's. "Yer right, but this proves we still have chemistry and a deep love for one another."
"But what are we going to do if Leo can't handle us together?"
"Oh. It ain't just us together. Joining us means ya and Leo together as well."
"But I have nothing in common with Leo, who is as interesting as a block of a wood."
"Hey, hey. That ain't true," Raphael said heatedly, his green eyes flashing. "Leo's smart, funny and we talk about everythin'. He ain't what ya think. He's got more layers ta him than just leader and big brother and he ain't a snooze. He loves video games, music, movies, arts and crafts. He's a gifted story teller, but he puts on his big brother and leader persona, because he can't afford ta goof off and just be a kid. He's passionate, lovin' and damn near perfection, so don't ridicule him. Do ya hear me? I won't hear nothin' bad about him!"
"Fine, but you have to face reality. Leo and I might not get along romantically. Sometimes there just isn't a spark."
"I know, but I think there could be between ya and Leo. Ya just gotta find things in common and that means spending time together. I can rustle up dinner for ya guys tomorrow night, with candles and music and ya can talk. How about it?"
"I'm willing to try."
Unbeknownst to them, Leo had been jealously watching them in the doorway, his arms folded, rage surging through him, as he saw his beloved so intimate with Donnie. He had promised HIS Raphie that he would try to share him and to be with Donnie, but seeing them together had made him renege, but you couldn't blame him, right? What person in their right mind would want to share their lover, especially someone as sexy as HIS Raphie, who was perfection personified.
"Knock it off," Leo growled, causing his brothers to break apart and to glance up at him.
"We were just talkin', Leo. Chill," Raphael said. "Ya will wake Dad. He's old and needs his sleep."
"You were doing more than that!" Leo yelled, making Donnie flinch.
"That's what partners do, Leo," Raphael said, staring evenly at the leader and refusing to cower. "What's the deal? Ya were fine about it."
"I wasn't I only agreed for you, but I've changed my mind. I don't want to share you and I don't want Donnie, so get your ass to bed, Raphael. Right now."
"Ya don't own me, Leo!" Raphael hissed, springing to his feet and getting up into Leo's face. "And ya can't tell me what ta do!"
"Oh, yeah? Rumor is you like being submissive. I mean, look what happened….." Leo began and promptly clamped his beak shut, realizing what he'd been about to say.
"What happened what? Ya mean, on the fuckin' rooftop. Is that what ya meant?" Raphael demanded, hurt flashing on his face that his brother could say such a malicious thing. "Take that back, Fearless!" Raphael roared and jabbed his finger into Leo's plastron. "Take that fuckin' back. Ya know it ain't true and it was non-con! How could ya say that, Leo, and remind me of it when ya know it was the worst day of my life and I still have fuckin' nightmares about it? I thought ya loved me."
"I d and I'm sorry. I didn't mean those harsh words, but I can't do this. You want your cake and to eat it, Raphael! Well, have Donnie," Leo said, his heart shattering, as he uttered the words. "I'll leave. Usagi asked me to his dimension some time ago and it would be good to see him. Maybe my feelings for Raphael will have dissipated when I return. I'll be gone for six months."
"The rabbit has a crush on ya!" Raphael said hotly, as jealousy coursed through him. "He wants ta plow yer ass!"
"Ya ain't goin'! Yer mine! Do ya understand, Leo?" Raphael bellowed. "Yer ONLY mine."
"What was it you said about not being told what to do?" Leo said frostily. "The same applies here. I'll leave tomorrow morning. Congrats, Don. I hope you and Raphael have a nice life together!"
"LEO, NO!" Raphael roared, hot tears running down his face and dropping to his knees and looking up at his beloved beseechingly. "Leo, remember what I said in the room….."
Donnie got up, closed the door, locked it and said, "You were always insanely jealous and possessive of Raph, Leo, but I get why. You always loved him most and it's his love that means the world to you. Raph always idolized you and followed you everywhere. You've always been his hero and his best friend, whereas me and Mikey spent more time together. You always favored him…."
"I never did…." Leo began.
"You did! Damn it. You can lie to yourself, but not me. You always protected and loved Raph more than us. He knows it and took advantage of it at times. You covered for him when he screwed up and rebelled. You didn't so much for me and Mikey. You've even saved him first in battles. I've lost count of how many times. I never said anything before, because I didn't want you in trouble….But I have noticed, Leo, so I get you're worried that the new relationship dynamics will affect your relationship with Raph and you'll lose your status as his lover, hero and best friend, but that won't happen, because you and Raph are two sides of the same coin. You complement one another perfectly and balance one another out. He frigging adores you and nothing will ever change that. I wouldn't let it."
Raph continued to stare up at Leo, pleading with him to change his mind about leaving.
Leo lowered his gaze to the ground and said, "Then why does he need you too, Donnie? Why am I not enough and why don't I meet his needs? Isn't this like swinging?"
"It's….Think of it this way. A flower needs oxygen to survive, right? But it also needs water. You are his oxygen. I am his water. Does that make sense? I meet certain needs and you meet others, but that doesn't mean we aren't any less valuable to Raph, although I can say I think he loves you most for the reasons I gave earlier. We aren't swingers, Leo, and this isn't passing Raph back and forth, like a toy. We both adore Raph and would do anything for him and he'd do the same for us. Plus, you and I will be together, so it's meant to be a balanced thing, which was the agreement, right? I know we don't know one another romantically, but I am willing to try. And if friction occurs and we don't get along, I will step aside, but at least give it a try. Who knows, it may cement our bonds too?" Donnie said and smiled. "We can take baby steps."
"Yeah," Raphael said. "And if ya ain't happy, we can end it, Leo."
"And then what?" Leo asked. "You'd pick either me or Donnie and one of us would be miserable."
"That's right, but this could work, Leo. Think of the benefits. Ya'd have the gentleness of Donnie, as well as my passion. I probably won't want sex when I'm heavily gravid and Donnie can tend to yer needs. That'll be hot ta watch. The baby or babies will have another parent and…..Please, Leo. Give it a chance for me."
Leo sighed and said, "I'll try, but I can't guarantee I'll like it."
"Awesome," Raphael said and grinned. "Now tomorrow night's all 'bout ya two. I'll cook ya dinner and ya can get ta know one another beyond brothers."
Raphael stood up, gently pulled his brothers towards one another and said, "Kiss each other and let's make it official."
"W-what?" Leo said.
"Come on, Leo. It's just a kiss. Don't look so perturbed. Donnie's a fabulous kisser. Ya'll like it."
Leo shut his eyes, his heart racing, as he leaned forward and gently kissed Donnie, the genius's warm breath caressing his face and his scent that was a curious mixture of leather and coffee, but which wasn't unpleasant filling his nostrils.
Damn. Donnie smells good, Leo thought. I love his scent.
Donnie deepened the kiss by cupping Leo's face and tugging him closer, their tongues meeting in a merry dance, as hands roamed and they explored the shift from brothers to lovers, the kiss sparking unexpected heat in their groins and causing butterflies in their chests, as their plastrons ground against another's, causing a delicious friction and churrs to roll up their throats, which soon increased in volume.
Leo's such an excellent kisser, Donnie thought, as his hands wandered down Leo's body, settled it on his rump and then gave it a loving a squeeze.
The leader squawked in surprise and returned the favor by stroking Donnie's tail, causing him to moan in pleasure.
A thrilled and turned on Raphael couldn't tear his eyes away from the scene before him and began to stroke his slit, his eyes glazed over, his heart pounding, his nostrils flared and his own pheromones permeating the air and mingling with his brothers', who were still lost in each other.
Damn. It's so hot watchin' them, he thought. I knew it would be.
A low growl escaped Raphael's lips, as he dropped down, his cock slick with precum and some of it already dribbling down the shaft.
I ain't been so turned on before, Raphael thought, as he sped up his stroking. We gotta make porn movies. That would be so much fun and I got so many ideas in mind.
His brothers briefly came up for air, before resuming kissing again.
He soon came with a loud churr, his cheeks flushed, his essence spilling onto his fingers and painting his plastron white.
Panting heavily, Raphael glanced at his still kissing brothers and said, "Enough now. Time for bed."
Leo broke the kiss and said with a smirk, "You jealous, Raph?"
"Course not. It was fuckin' hot watchin' ya guys, but it's super late and we need sleep. I knew ya guys would dig kissin' one another. Now ya know ya got chemistry, things will be easier. Ya'll see."
"It's more than digging," Donnie said. "Our kissing has always been magical, Raph, but it was different with Leo. It was like opening my soul, tasting, feeling and seeing every color of the rainbow….."
"Like catching a smile in a bottle, its softness and sweetness," Leo said. "Like you're levitating off the ground and floating in the air."
If I didn't know better, Raphael thought with a frown, as jealousy blossomed in his heart. I'd think they were gonna dump me or I was gonna be the third wheel. That would be a huge backfire in my plans and be a kick in my gut!
"Hmm. Looking pensive there, my love," Leo said and kissed Raphael sensuously. "I think you need some attention, am I right?" Leo asked and fondled Raphael's tail, making him flush profusely. "I've always been good at interpreting emotions and I know you better than you know yourself. Am I correct?"
"Yes, but…." Raphael said, his blush deepening, as Leo moved his hands to Raphael's slit, stroked it and warmth pooled in the hothead's groin.
"So you do want attention," Leo said and sped up the stroking.
"Damn it, Leo. Hell yeah! Stop teasing me. Just give it ta me already!"
"Hahah. I knew it," Leo laughed and led him to the bed. "See, Donnie, he pretends he doesn't want things when he actually does. Stubborn mule. Lie down and spread your gorgeous legs, Raphie. Donnie, come here and watch. I'll show you what he likes."
Raphael lay down, spread his legs and looked at Leo, as he lowered his head between Raphael's legs and lapped at his slit.
Donnie sat down on the edge of the bed and watched.
Leo glanced up and said, "Most of the time he likes it sensual and slowly. He likes it if you keep your eyes locked on his, whisper dirty things and you must tell him how beautiful he is. He needs to hear that and that he is loved and above all, never be rough with him. It could trigger a flashback. Raph and I haven't had sex all the way, but I know that's what he would want after all he's been through and I know what he likes orally."
"Leo, quit yer yammerin' and give me what I want," Raphael said grumpily.
Leo grinned and said, "He can also be extremely needy. Watch and learn, Donnie."
The leader licked Raphael's slit and listened, as soft moans escaped Raphael's lips, which increased in volume, as his arousal grew.
Raphael soon dropped down with a deep rumble rolling up his throat, his eyes hazy with arousal, his heart pounding, his hands fisting the bedsheets.
Leo knows exactly how ta please me, Raphael thought and churred loudly. I'm so lucky ta have him. I know I'll always be safe with him and he will always love me.
Leo took Raphael's cock inside of his mouth, deep-throating him, while playing with his tail. The dual simulation was always guaranteed to make Raphael cum and quite quickly, but that's not what Leo wanted.
Donnie watched, mesmerized by them and as heat flooded his groin, signaling his own arousal, his cheeks flamed. He had never been so excited before.
It's such a turn on watching them, he thought and immediately began stroking his slit.
Sensing Raphael's climax, Leo stopped.
"W-why? Raphael demanded and angrily pulled out of Leo's mouth with a plop. "Ya tryin' ta give me blue balls, Leo?"
"Yes. It's Donnie's turn."
"I think he's occupied enough, Leo!" Raphael snapped, gazing at Donnie who was frantically jerking off. "So ya can continue. Now!"
"Donnie!" Leo hissed and moved towards the other side of the bed.
Donnie immediately stopped, his cheeks crimson. He crawled to Raphael and lowered his head between his brother's legs.
"Now what?" Donnie asked.
"You lick him," Leo said. "Didn't you watch?"
"Um, yeah, but…." Donnie said, as his cheeks flamed. "I've never given a bj before."
"If ya don't wanna, don't," Raphael said testily.
"I didn't say I didn't want to, Raph. I just have never and Leo looks like he's a pro. How can I compete with him?"
"It ain't a competition, doofus, and besides, ya'll get better. Just try. If ya don't like it, ya don't gotta do it again. I won't hold it against ya. Promise."
"Okay. I'll do my best," Donnie said nervously.
Donnie licked Raphael's slit and listened to his loud moans of pleasure, his heart pounding, as Raphael soon dropped down, his cock semi-erect, leaking, veins pulsating and inches from Donnie's mouth.
Sure, Donnie had seen it when he and Raphael had made love, but he'd never done oral. It had been just a quick fuck and him then lambasting Raphael on what a freak he was for being intersex, but this was on a deeper level now.
He was expected to perform oral. After all, that was one of the most intimate acts you could do for your lover. He'd done it for April, had loved it and he loved Raphael, so why was he so hesitant about sucking Raphael off?
Raphael, who was crazy about him and who would do anything for him. Did his unwillingness mean he didn't love Raphael, like he thought he did?
No. He would try.
Donnie gently took Raphael inside of him and sucked him, as if he was a lollipop, while caressing his thighs and then playing with his tail, the way he'd seen Leo do. Simple enough.
Raphael churred loudly, fisting the bedsheets and thought, Donnie's doin' great. Ah. This is heaven. Two guys, who love me ta the moon and back. I'm so blessed.
I can do this, Donnie thought. It's not so bad. Raph actually tastes okay.
Leo beat himself off, as he watched his brothers, his jizz soon splattering his plastron and fingers as he came.
The temperamental turtle soon climaxed with the dual simulation, flooding Donnie's mouth with his warm and salty essence and making the genius' eyes widen, but he forced himself not to gag and swallowed it all down, as if it was nectar. He also resolved not to spit in disgust, because he didn't want to offend Raphael. Maybe it would be better next time and he would grow used to his brother's taste.
Raphael pulled out with a plop and said breathlessly, "Like it, Donnie?"
"I didn't think you were so potent."
"I am. Ya didn't answer my question."
"Yeah. You taste wonderful."
"Leo says I taste like honey and he loves it."
"Hmm. That was my thought too. I'm beat now."
"Ya didn't really like it, did ya? Be honest. I won't be upset."
"It was different. April's was like honey and yours is salty and manly. Does that make sense?"
"So ya don't wanna do it again. Okay."
"I didn't say that. I want to do it again, Raph. I will. I know you like it and it makes you happy."
"I don't want ya ta do somethin' ya don't wanna do, okay? If oral ain't yer thing, that's okay. There are other ways we can be intimate, okay? I love ya and respect ya too much ta force ya ta do somethin' ya hate, okay?" Raphael said, sitting up and taking Donnie's hands in his.
"You're too kind to me, Raph."
"Nah. Relationships are 'bout love and respect and that's what I feel for ya. Ya wouldn't make me do somethin' I don't wanna do."
"Tell you what, I'll try once more and if I hate it again, I won't do it."
"That's fine. Now I think it's bedtime," Raphael said and yawned. "What do ya say, Leo?"
"I agree, my love. Raph, you lie in the middle."
The hothead shifted to the middle, his mates on either side of him.
Leo and Donnie peppered Raphael's face with kisses and then lay down, snuggled up close to him, their arms wrapped around him.
"Love you, Raphie," Donnie said.
"Love ya too, Donnie. Love ya, Leo," Raphael replied, his face buried in the crook of Leo's neck, the way he always slept.
"Love you, my angel," Leo said and planted a kiss on his head.
"Hey, Leo, do ya really think we'll all work out?"
"Yeah. I have a feeling we will. Rest now. I have you and I always will. Aishiteru, sweetheart."
"Aishiteru, Leo."
Raphael and Leo closed their eyes and were soon fast asleep and gently snoring.
Donnie listened to his brothers' breathing and their soon soft snores and thought, I don't know if I'll ever love blowing Raph, but I do know that I am happy for the first time in ages, I am where I belong and I have a feeling we'll all work out. I am a lucky guy to have two such fantastic mates and I won't take them for granted. Fuck, April. I don't want or need her. I have everything and everyone I want right here with me.
Thanks to all following me and for all your support. A special thanks to Jasmine-Fox, who has been there for me through my darkest days, motivated me to get going and who has given me invaluable help with my stories. Thank you, my friend. You are the greatest.
