Chapter six:

Raph comes into the kitchen for some coffee and breakfast. He finds Leo is already there eating some cereal while flipping through the newspaper. "Morning." He greets the other.

"Morning Raph." Leo greets back while the other gets his own breakfast.

Donnie and Mikey are probably still sleeping.

Raph almost can't believe that it has been a month since he and Leo became mates. He turns as Splinter enters the kitchen looking at him.

"Raph. Can you come to my room before you eat breakfast?" Splinters words makes Leo look up.

"Sure sensei." Raph goes with Splinter and they sit on their knees facing each other. "What is it?"

"I wanted to make sure that you weren't losing track of time." Splinter tells Raph. "You will be starting your rut soon. And next month Leo will have another heat. His heats seem to come every second month."

"It hardly feels like that time has passed." Raph admits to the other glancing down. He had indeed lost track of time just trying to find hidden moments with Leo.

"You can be excused from training today to prepare for your rut." Splinter informs Raph. "Starting tomorrow it will hit you any day."

Raph looks back to Splinter. "Father. I actually want to do something a little different." He sees Splinter tilt his head curiously. "But I need some time to figure it out before I decide for sure."

Splinter is silent for a moment then nods. "Alright my son. Just be cautious with new ideas."

"Don't worry sensei. I know what I'm doing." Raph leaves and heads to the kitchen. He finds Donnie there having been given the newspaper from Leo. He meets with Leos eyes and gestures his head to the entrance of the kitchen. He hopes Leo gets the message that they need to talk.

Leo nods and gets up after Raph leaves the kitchen. He heads off with Donnie hardly noticing anything going on.

The two go into the training room and keep their voices low.

"Did everything go okay?" Leo inquires looking into Raphs eyes that look back.

"Splinter was just making sure I didn't forget my upcoming rut. Starting tomorrow it'll hit any day. I completely forgot all about it." Raph admits to Leo who blinks in understanding.

"Ah. I am guessing you want me to help you with your rut." Leo guesses to which Raph nods his head. He does see that it is fair since Raph helped him with his heat.

"It's just that. I know we were worried about pregnancy when I helped you with your heat. And the others don't know you're an omega. I just don't want to push you into taking that risk again after we managed to avoid it last time." Raph admits and Leo moves closer to him.

"It's okay Raph. I wanna help you. You helped me and mates should help each other." Leo tells Raph then leans closer to him. "Actually. I have a secret room Splinter made me for my heats. It's entrance is in my room. No one will know."

"If you're sure." Raph strokes Leo's head going down to his cheek, pausing as Leo nuzzles his hand.

"I'm sure."

The two share a quick kiss knowing that someone could walk in.

"Okay. I'll tell Splinter the plan. If that is okay."

Leo nods his head and he lets Raph leave. He heads to his room to get things ready for this.

Raph knocks on Splinters door and is invited in. He sits in front of him.

"Ah. Raph. Back so soon?" Splinter greets to which Raph nods.

"Yeah. It was a quickly made decision." Raph confirms to his father. "And I must confess something. Just before Leo lost himself to heat we did talk. And we decided to be mates. Since Mikey and Donnie don't know Leo's secret yet we've kept it hidden. I talked to him about the fact that my rut is coming up. We are going to use the secret room to deal with it." He goes quiet waiting for a response.

"Well that is wonderful news." Splinter smiles as Raph stares at him glad to hear his happiness. "I did notice the sparks between you. Though Leo told me he didn't plan on taking a mate since he was hiding the truth. You two can deal with this together if that is what you both decided on. I will help hide it if you are not ready to come out to the others."

"Thank you sensei. I don't want to make Leo have anything revealed before it is time. I can tell he has been considering how to tell the others. But anyways, how are we going to cover up this plan for my rut?" Raph inquires and sees the wisdom plus cunning on Splinters face.

"I have covered for Leo plenty of times. I can handle this. There's a few things I could say. We won't use the migraine excuse. We don't want it to be overused or seem weird if he ends up getting one." Splinter sees Raph nod in understanding. "I could tell them that I assigned Leo to make sure that you are okay during your rut. So you eat and stay hydrated. Since they see him as a beta it'll make sense to them as they'll think he can't be affected by your rut."

"Yeah. This can work." Raph agrees to those ideas. He feels relief that Splinter does know how to keep the two from finding out the truth. He knows that the other only told him what he could say as he knew it was what Raph needed.

"Alright. Go get some breakfast in you. I'm sure Leo is preparing his secret room for you. You might want to make sure you know it before you spend time with him there."

Raph nods then leaves to the kitchen. He finds that Mikey stole his cereal. He just gets himself another bowl and eats it before heading to Leo's room. He pauses as Leo opens the door about to exit his room.

"Ah. Raph. You're here. Come." Leo heads back into his room with his mate following him. "Everything go well with Splinter?"

"Yeah. He's happy for us. And said he saw the attraction between us." Raph confirms as Leo shifts some stuff away from a wall. "He told me that he's going to cover us. That you would be assigned to make sure I don't die during my rut basically. Since they think you're a beta. You just might have to pretend to bring stuff to my room I'm guessing. If they see you that is."

"That's good. And sensei will make sure that two will have no idea. Plus I will be making sure you don't die." Leo points out knowing that if they think he's helping keep Raph alive, then Raphs scent on him won't raise any questions. He reveals a metal ring on the wall. He pulls it to which part of the wall slides open showing the secret room. "Thought you'd want to have a look before we use it." He mentions and reaches in turning on a light switch.

"Splinter suggested the same." Raph admits heading into the room. He sees that it is padded with soundproofing material. He finds the material soft under his feet. He can really smell Leo's omega scent and it sends an electric spark down his spine. He pushes it away as he takes in the room.

There is a pile of blankets, a mattress on the floor neatly made, two pillows on the mattress, and a box which Raph can guess is where Leo keeps his toys. It's not a big room, though big enough two can move around easily within.

"This will work." Raph confirms with a nod of his head then turns to Leo.

"And when it's closed the smell stays inside. Plus all our bedroom doors also don't let our scents from inside leak out. So that helps. I just have to have some of the solution to hide the scent if it enters my room, plus so sensei can spray himself down if needed." Leo explains as Raph exits the hidden room. He pushes it closed cutting off the scent.

"Don't worry. We've got this. That room is made for these kinds of things." Raph tells the other. "I'll make sure that I have what I need so we're ready."

"Okay." Leo lets Raph leave the room at this. He is a little nervous that he might not be able to keep up. He pushes that thought away as Raph kept up with him in his heat. He can do this.

Raph pretends like it's a usual rut as if he'll spend it alone. He goes into the pantry grabbing a bag of chips he saves for his ruts. He doesn't know why but when he has moments to snack in his rut he loves these. He doesn't know why cheddar SunChips are the snack for him during rut, he just goes with it. He turns and closes the pantry.

"So seems your rut is coming up." Donnie speaks to which Mikey turns look too.

Both noticing the bag of chips in Raphs hands. They are well aware of why he would be grabbing those specific ones.

"Yeah. Basically any day now." Raph confirms to the two of them. "So I might as well prepare." He sees them nod so he leaves the kitchen. He brings the chips to Leo's room after making sure he won't be noticed. He finds Splinter in the room with Leo. He nods to them and goes into the secret room.

"Don't worry. Raph filled me in on the plan. He even thought of the idea of pretending to take things to his room if they will see." Leo says as the two continue their conversation. "I promise that I can handle this."

"Yes. I do believe you both will be a bit more prepared this time." Splinter sounds glad and catches Raphs eye when he exits the little room.

"I think so too." Raph confirms as well.

"I will leave you two to prepare then." Splinter leaves the room with that so they can make sure everything will be all set. He heads into the kitchen just as Mikey and Donnie are about to leave.

"Should we head to the training room sensei?" Donnie inquires to which Splinter nods his head.

"Yes. I want to do some training with the two of you. Stuff I've been holding off however now that you two are mates I can teach it. It'll be some extra teamwork training. Mates can get protective of each other. Especially the alphas over their omegas. We will be touching on that as well during the training. So we will take this opportunity of Raphs rut to do this training." Splinter explains to the two of them.

"What about Leo?" Donnie inquires wondering what he would be doing during this.

"Leo will be absent from training. I have asked him to make sure Raph eats and drinks during his rut for me. So I can focus on your training." Splinter explains to them to which they nod in understanding. He turns and heads to the training room. He hears the other two following after him.

Back in Leo's room a little later, Raph turns as Leo enters the secret room.

Leo is carrying bottles of water into the room. He puts them down by where Raph put his chips. He had brought four into the room. "I can refill them during the breaks." He tells his mate who nods his head. "Anything else we should grab?"

"You're pretty much set up for things here so not really. Usually I have to set up my room, so I'm not dealing with my rut on my hammock." Raph is aware that Leo knows how sweaty they can get plus all the cum. He loves his hammock however it's not as easy to clean as bed sheets. Hence he's used to making a bed out of blankets before his rut. "I'll close my door so they'll think I'm in there. I can sleep here tonight. My rut could even start tomorrow."

"I'm fine with that." Leo confirms so Raph heads out of the room for now.

In the training room Splinter has Donnie and Mikey back to back weapons drawn. He has set up a dummy for them to face. "You are surrounded." He tells them to get their minds into the scenario. "And the enemy has figured out you two are mates. They plan to use this against you." He keeps his watchful gaze on them as they face the dummies. He tosses a plush weapon towards Mikey just out of his view.

However in the view of Donnie.

Donnie reacts quickly spinning his staff to knock the weapon away. He succeeds only for Splinters cane to be against his neck.

"If I were a real enemy you could be dead right now." Splinter tells Donnie as Mikey glances back to them. "Even if it's to stop your mate from getting hurt you can't leave yourself open. Do not let your instincts cloud your judgement in battle." He moves his cane away then moves back a little. "Turn back to your enemies in front of you."

The two turn back to the dummies.

"They are charging toward you." Splinter watches the two hurry forward to take out the enemy in front of them. He throws a second plush weapon at Mikey that Donnie notices.

Donnie is about to move to stop it when he sees Splinter heading for him. He pushes away his instincts to stop the attack for his mate. "Mikey look out!" He calls and uses his staff to stop Splinters attack.

Mikey turns and knocks the fake weapon away. He uses one nunchuck while using the other to keep the enemy at bay.

Splinter moves back and gives a nod. "That was much better. Again." He has to make sure it becomes easier for them to do this during battle. He'll get this down with them then move onto some more mate teamwork fighting.

The next day Raph blinks awake in the secret room. His body feels hot and his mind foggy. He becomes well aware of the hard cock throbbing between his legs. All he can smell is Leo. He buries his face into the sheets taking a deep inhale of the scent. His hand instinctively going down to his cock to jerk off to the scent. He wanted to make sure he can't just jump Leo, plus it'll be better if he can't be heard in Leos room during this.

They can get a bit vocal during sex as they have learned.

"Raph? Are you awake?" Leo's voice comes into the room as he comes to check on the other. He takes notice of the grunts and he knows that the others rut has started. "I'll grab us food." He promises and notices Raph clutching the sheets to stop himself from jumping Leo. He leaves the room and grabs them some food greeting Splinter who is making coffee. He heads back putting the food down in the room. He heads over after closing the door with the ring he can pull on this side. He can give Raph some morning sex before they eat.

It's two days into Raphs rut.

Leo comes into the kitchen where Donnie and Mikey are talking over some snacks. He smells heavily of his alpha lover. He is glad he doesn't have to try to explain why he smells heavily of the other.

"How have things been going with Raph?" Donnie inquires as Leo gets some food ready.

"Pretty good." Leo tells him. "He's been eating pretty well. He is actually pretty good at not jumping me." He knows that is a lie, but he has to play along with the story they've made.

"That's good. It probably helps that you don't have an omega or an alpha scent." Donnie mentions and Mikey hums in agreement.

Leo thinks if they only knew. He pushes that thought away for now. He can think on the whole revealing the truth later. "How are things going with training?"

"Pretty good." Donnie begins when Mikey chimes in.

"Splinter is teaching us a lot about fighting as mates." Mikey tells Leo who listens to what he has to say. "I think we're doing pretty good with it too."

"Well that's good to hear." Leo nods his head and finishes the food preparation. He went with something that just needed time in the microwave, since Raph is going to be needing him again very soon. "You two keep up the good work then." He takes the food for the two of them and leaves the kitchen. He is glad that they won't see him enter his own room from the kitchen. He however notices Mikey leave the kitchen heading for the bedrooms. He changes his path and goes into Raphs room. He closes the door and waits for Mikey to go to his room. He hears the door open and close. He sighs in relief then sneakily heads to his room. He ensures Raphs door is closed to keep up appearance that he's in there. He sighs in relief when he gets into his room. He then heads to make sure that his mate eats before he gets too lost in his rut again.

As the next three days pass by Leo has managed to keep up with his mates rut.

Both glad for the soundproof room blocking out their moans to the others.

Even if their brothers knew they don't have to listen to them having sex.

"Raphie!" Leo cries out as he cums with Raph cumming inside of him. He hears a groan of his own name, and sighs happily as the knot keeps them locked together.

The two try to catch their breaths as Raph lays on top of him.

"I think that my rut will end soon." Raph mentions to Leo. "I'm feeling more aware than any of the other breaks."

"That's good. This could be your last day." Leo speaks in agreement to which Raph nods his head.

"Are you holding up alright?" Raph shifts to allow their eyes to meet. He is clearly worried that Leo must be pretty sore from all the sex.

"Yeah. I'll be fine. I've been taking some medicine to help so the others won't know. Plus so I can grab you food and keep you hydrated." Leo assures his mate with a smile who smiles back.

"Alright. As long as you're okay." Raph mentions and Leo nods his head.

In the training room Splinter has just finished Donnie and Mikeys training.

The two head out of the training room.

Donnie pauses as Mikey tugs on his arm. He turns to his mate noticing a blush on his face.

Mikey nods to his room in suggestion to which Donnie blushes too.

Donnie nods then is taken by the hand as Mikey takes him to the younger's room. He closes the door behind them and Mikey flops backwards onto his mattress. He joins the other who seems to be excitedly inviting him to join him.

The two wrap their arms around each other holding one another close.

"Donnie." Mikey begins gently tracing circles on his mates shell with his finger.

"Yeah?" Donnie inquires before giving his mate a nuzzle.

"Could we maybe have sex? If you want to as well." Mikey quickly adds the last part hoping he isn't going too fast for his love.

Donnies blush darkens at the suggestion. "I'm good with it if you are." He sees Mikey nod so he pulls him into a kiss.

Their tongues quickly twining together in the kiss.

Donnie trails his hand down Mikeys body earning a soft moan from him. His hand finds the cock that hardens as he strokes it. His actions earn even more moans from his mate. He finds just the sweet moans of the other is getting him hard. He shivers in pleasure as Mikey moves his hand down to his own cock. He bucks into the others hand as he pumps it.

Mikey gently plays with Donnies cock mimicking his movements.

They break the kiss and gaze into one another's eyes.

Donnie rolls them so he is on top of his mate. And reaches under one of his pillows pulling out a small bottle of lube.

"You had that under your pillow?" Mikey inquires looking at it as Donnie gets it open.

"Since our interrupted night I thought it might be good to have. It makes things much easier." Donnie explains then pours some onto his fingers. "Trust me."

"I do."

Donnie shifts Mikeys legs to be spread. He lowers his finger to the others entrance. He pushes it in getting a gasp that makes him pause. He looks to his mates face and Mikey nods for him to go ahead.

"It just feels a little strange." Mikey mentions and is given a quick kiss.

"It is your first time. It'll feel a little weird at first." Donnie works his finger in his omegas entrance letting him get used to it. He then adds another finger earning a moan with pain mixed in it. "It's okay. It'll hurt a little but that'll go away to pleasure." He sees the other give him a soft nod to show he heard. He carefully works his fingers as he stretches the other out.

"Donnie." Mikey whines a little after a little stretching out. "I want more."

"Okay." Donnie agrees guessing that the other should be stretched open enough. He pours some lube onto his own cock and rubs it so it is spread over it. He moves to position himself at his mates entrance. "Okay. Are you ready? I'm going to push in." He gets a nod so he pushes his cock inside. He goes slowly as he makes sure the other isn't in too much pain. He stops once he is fully inside of him. "Dang. You're tight. Take a moment. Let yourself adjust. Tell me when you feel okay enough for me to start moving."

Mikey pants softly as he lets himself adjust to the hard length inside of him. He finds that it doesn't take as long as he thought it might, as he feels more ready after a few moments. "Okay. You can move." He confirms to his mate.

Donnie pulls out until it is just the tip inside then thrusts back into his mate. He keeps the movements not too fast as he thrusts in over and over again. He listens to his mates moans hearing the pain start to disappear. He picks up the pace once all pain has disappeared. He seals their lips in a kiss to muffle the others increasing in volume moans.

The others don't need to listen to them having sex.

Donnie is soon enough pounding into his mate, who is crying in pleasure into the kiss. His own groans mixing in with the cries. He admits to himself that Mikey feels really good wrapped around him. He moves a hand down to his mates cock finding it leaking precum. He also feels the others hips start to twitch indicating he is close. He can feel his knot knocking on the others entrance. He gives a good hard shove to get his knot inside locking them together. He groans loudly into Mikeys mouth as it feels so good to have his knot inside an omega.

"Donnie!" Mikey shouts into the kiss muffling it a little. His hips twitching even more as he cums.

"Oh fuck. Mikey." Donnie groans back and releases rope after rope of cum into his mate.

The two break the kiss panting as they ride the enjoyment of their orgasm.

Mikey shifts after a few moments only to stop as they groan softly.

"Yeah. Sorry. We're knotted. We'll be stuck here until my knot fades. It's an alpha thing when we have sex." Donnie explains and Mikey pulls him close as their eyes are locked.

"Well then I guess that you're mine to love on for a bit longer then." Mikey teases a little making Donnie chuckle warmly.

"I'm fine with that."
