They watched from the top of an office building as paramedics pulled Ruffington out of his mangled BMW. The black car had flipped and rolled three times, flinging debris everywhere before it landed on what remained of its tires and bent around a streetlight. Dark blood obscured Ruffington's face and his neck bent at an unnatural angle. If that wasn't enough indication that the man was dead, the fact that his entire right leg remained trapped inside the wreckage sure was.

The turtles felt absolutely no remorse for Ruffington. Their sorrow was for the occupants of the other vehicle. The gray minivan now rested on its roof, its front end crumpled and pieces of its engine scattered all across the road. Both front tires were gone and both rear tires had punctured. The teenaged driver hadn't been wearing a seatbelt and ended up with his head imbedded in the windshield and his chest crushed by the steering wheel.

It'd be announced on the morning news that his only passenger was his nine-year-old sister who had gotten ill at a friend's slumber party. Her brother had picked her up as a favor to their mother. Now the little girl was sprawled face-down on the pavement with brain matter seeping out of her broken skull after being ejected from her seat through the window. Two paramedics were covering her with a white sheet while their comrades worked to free her deceased brother.

New sirens wailed in the distance. A police officer on scene had finally taken notice of the collapsed warehouse and called for another fleet of Fire & Rescue to be dispatched to their location. The number of looky-loos and newshounds was growing by the minute.

"Let's go," Leonardo ordered quietly as he turned and walked away.

Their journey back to the lair was silent and somber. The three younger ninja watched their leader warily, worried about the negative effects witnessing the car crash would have on him. Leo was well known to have a soft spot for kids and a low tolerance for failure. Tonight's fiasco was sure to make those characteristics of his personality dominant. The rigidity of his posture and his solemn expression were already cause for concern. Both were eerily reminiscent of that time after Shredder's exile when Leo had delved deep into a long period of irrational anger and self-loathe. No one wanted to see him fall into the dark pit ever again.

Master Splinter was waiting for them when they arrived home. He had seen the initial news report on TV. One look at his sons' faces was all it took to confirm that they were connected to the tragedy.

"Leonardo." Splinter singled out his eldest son and motioned for him to step forward. "Come with me."

Head down, Leo followed his father into the rat's private room and automatically kneeled when Splinter came to a stop. He could feel Splinter's eyes studying him, but he couldn't bring himself to lift gaze from the floor.

"Tell me what happened," the ninjutsu master finally requested.

Fingers clutching his kneepads tightly, Leo took a deep breath before answering in a voice he hoped was a calm and collected as his father's had been. "We arrived at Ruffington's warehouse without a problem. After a few minutes of observation through the skylight, we realized that Ruffington was preparing a shipment of illegal arms to send out tonight. I made the decision to put a stop to it, but before we could put the plan in motion, the roof collapsed. Except for a few bumps and scratches, the four of us weren't hurt so I ordered the others to proceed with our plan. While they were occupied, I noticed Ruffington was trying to escape and pursued him out of the building. He was getting into his car when I caught up to him and sped off before I could stop him. He crashed into the minivan fleeing from the scene."

"I see," Splinter commented a few seconds after Leo had fallen silent.

From then on, the teacher asked a slew of questions in an attempt to get more details out of his student. Leo had felt like a robot giving programmed answers in his responses to the inquiries. When he was dismissed an hour later, he felt completely numb inside and shuffled through the darkened lair in a daze.

Shut inside his bedroom, Leo sat down on the end of his mattress and stared at the floor. The surrounding silence was crushing him and he realized that he didn't want to be alone. Not tonight.

I want ta be the one ya come running ta for comfort.

The words sprang suddenly to mind and at that moment, Leo knew exactly where he wanted to be. Rising quickly from his bed, he strode towards the door, almost forgetting to flip the lights off before he departed.

Raph was standing naked at his dresser putting his gear away when he heard the doorknob turn. Glancing up, he was surprised to see Leo enter and close the door quietly behind him. The hothead had figured that his brother would want to be alone for the next few days at least. He stared at Leo who was lingering by the door, staring at the ground while twisting his fingers together nervously. It was obvious that he was struggling to come up with words to say. Defeated, he raised his head and looked to Raph for help.

Turning away from the dresser, Raph curled a finger at his brother. "Come here, Leo."

The leader's steps were hesitant, but he did eventually reach Raph and stood there, hands at his sides, waiting for the darker colored turtle to say something else. Raph didn't though. Lifting his arms, he slipped them around Leo and pulled him into a hug. Leo broke the moment he found himself wrapped in his brother's embrace. Clinging to Raph's chest, he choked on a sob right before the tears started falling. It was a disgraceful act and Leo hated himself for it. Try as he might, he couldn't stop.

For the life of him, Raph could not recall a time he had ever seen his big brother cry. To see the fearless leader display such raw emotion ripped Raph's heart in two. Tears of sympathy pricked the corners of his eyes and he hugged Leo closer. A damp patch had formed on Raph's upper plastron and was growing by the minute, but he didn't care. If Leo needed to lean on him and cry, then so be it. Raph wasn't going anywhere.

Leo's tears tapered off gradually to be replaced by hiccups that made his body rattle. Raph slid his hands up to Leo's shoulders and griped them gently as he pushed his brother back just enough so that he could look down at the smaller turtle. Red-faced, Leo hung his head to hide his shame. He squeezed his eyes shut when Raph slid a finger beneath his chin and lifted it. A few stray tears leaked free as Raph leaned in and kissed his hot cheek.

"Ya wanna stay here with me tonight?" Raph inquired quietly with only the most innocent intentions.

Leo drew in a shaky breath and slowly nodded. He bit at his bottom lip as a fresh wave of tears rolled forth. Another kiss landed on his forehead. At the same time, he felt Raph untie his tear-soaked mask which provided an unexpected relief. One more kiss to his opposite cheek and he was pulled back in to Raph's comforting hug.

They stood like that for almost an hour, never speaking, just holding on to one another even after Leo used up all his tears. Completely worn out, he fell asleep where he stood. Raph scooped Leo up and carried him over to the hammock. He set the leader inside and carefully crawled in next to him. Roused slightly, Leo's eyes peeped open and he adjusted his position until he lay on top of Raph. He had drifted off again by the time Raph tossed a blanket over both of them. Smiling softly, Raph gave his brother's forehead a final kiss before his eyes closed, too.

Mikey yawned loud and wide as he exited Donnie's bedroom at around 2 AM. It was not unusual behavior for him to have been visiting so late. He and the genius often sought each other's company during difficult times whether it be disastrous missions like tonight's had been or an intense war between Raph and Leo. The two mild turtles had talked for hours about what had happened at the warehouse, their feelings and opinions on it, the potential consequences that would come from Ruffington's death, and Leo's reaction to the whole thing. Both were concerned about their big brother and both wanted to offer their big brother support, but neither one knew how.

They were still debating tactics when Donnie finally gave in to his exhaustion. With his conversation partner zonked out, Mikey rose from the end of Don's bed to head for his own. Tiptoeing through the lair, he paused when he reached Leo's room. The door had not been closed properly which was atypical for the very habitual leader. Curious, Mikey eased the door open a bit more and stuck his head in to find the space lacking an occupant. He lingered for a moment, contemplating, before withdrawing and closing the door all the way.

Rather than continuing on to his room, Mikey redirected towards Raph's. He listened at the door for a moment then slowly reached for the doorknob. Moving with extreme caution, the youngest turtle cracked the door open and peeked inside.

Raph's lamp was still on, giving Mikey plenty of light to see that Leo had other accommodations for the night. The two alphas looked quite content cuddled together with the katana wielder's nose tucked under the sai wielder's chin. Leo had his right hand woven into Raph's left, their joined fingers resting over the taller turtle's heart. As Mikey watched, Leo shifted in his sleep and nuzzled Raph's cheek to which Raph responded subconsciously in kind.

A knowing smile spread across Mikey's face. He lingered for another minute before noiselessly puling the door shut. Yawning wide, he shuffled off to bed feeling significantly less worried about Leo's well-being.

"Do you ever wish you could go back in time and stop yourself from doing something that was really stupid or bad?"

Those were the first words out of Leo's mouth since entering Raph's room. He lay pressed up against his brother's right side, head resting on an emerald green shoulder, staring blankly at the far wall as he quietly asked the question. He'd been alert and thinking for an hour now. About fifteen minutes ago, Leo sensed his brother stir and then a rough hand started to caress his carapace. It had taken him a while to build up courage, but he finally felt ready to share what was on his mind.

Raph had been dozing, but his eyes fluttered open when he heard Leo's voice. Left arm tucked under his head, he spoke to the ceiling as he gave his reply. "More times than I care ta admit."

"…I wish we could go back to the other night when you and I went out on patrol…" Leo confessed. "…I should have listened to you and stopped obsessing over the Purple Dragons. Then we wouldn't have known that Ruffington was involved…we wouldn't have gone to Dumbo…I wouldn't have chased him out of that warehouse…and…"

Leo's words failed as a lump formed in his throat. His guilty conscience wasn't going to let him speak easily. It wasn't that hard to figure out which direction his train of thought was rolling though.

"…and Ruffington would have put a whole bunch of weapons in the hands of the Purple Dragons…" Raph continued. "…and Hun would have been able ta hurt a lot more people…and Ruffington would find some other sleezebag ta do business with...and…"

"Don't try to rationalize what happened," Leo interrupted, a touch of anger in his tone.

Raph's hand stilled on Leo's shell. "I ain't. There's no damn reason why two innocent kids should've gotten killed. All I'm trying ta do is help ya see that ya ain't at fault. Ya had no control over the situation, ya was only a witness to it. That blood is on Ruffington's hands, Leo, not yers."

The katana-wielder went quiet for a minute. "…I still feel like it's my fault..."

"That's because yer programmed ta take responsibility for everything," the sai-wielder responded and resumed his previous petting. "Ya think it's yer obligation as a leader, but yer wrong. There are other people who need ta be held accountable for the shit that goes on in this world. Ya need ta learn when ta let go of the burden and give it ta someone else, Leo."

"How?" the eldest wondered, idly tracing a finger over a long scratch running diagonally across his brother's plastron.

"First, ya gotta accept that ya can't be perfect all the time," Raph explained. "And ya also need ta understand that nobody in this family is gonna look down on ya for that. We all know that ya give nothing but the best as a leader and we're damn proud of ya."

"You're just saying that to make me feel better."

"Is it working?"

Leo gave neither a negative nor a positive response. Smirking, Raph kissed the top of his brother's forehead. "I mean it." He chuckled softly as he noticed Leo's face turn a light shade of pink. Done embarrassing his brother, Raph continued with his advice. "Next, ya gotta stop being so self-critical. Yer allowed ta make mistakes and ya don't have ta punish yerself when ya do. Lower those standards ya set for yerself a bit. Ya'd be saving yerself a whole lot of stress." Raph watched Leo's fingers drift to a different scar on his broad chest to explore it. "Last thing, it ain't a sign of weakness ta ask for help or accept it when it's offered. Ya don't have ta walk the hard road all alone. Take someone with ya." Again, his lips made contact with Leo's forehead. "I hope that someone'll be me."

The leader's hand froze in place. "…you'd really want to go?"

"In a heartbeat," Raph answered. "The one thing ya don't ever have ta worry about is whether or not I'm gonna be there for ya. I'm with ya for the long haul."

Shifting his head, Leo looked up at his brother's face. "Promise?"

"Promise," the hothead assured.

The two turtles stared at each other in silence for several minutes. Pulling his arm out from under his head, Raph cupped Leo's right cheek in his palm and caressed the smooth skin with his thumb. Leo lifted his hand and laid it over Raph's, keeping it in place as he leaned into the touch. Raph felt warmth bloom from his heart and spread throughout his body.

"Damn, Leo…yer killing me with those big, brown eyes…" he whispered.

Leo's embarrassment flared again and he shyly tried to duck his head. Raph would have none of that though. He seized Leo by the hips and hefted him forward a few inches until their noses were touching. The heat in Leo's face rose as he found his gaze locked with Raph's once more. Eyes sliding shut, Leo closed the gap between them and kissed his brother.

A happy hum sounded in Raph's throat as their lips linked. Maintaining contact, Leo returned to his original location on top of the larger ninja. His tongue ventured out of his mouth to demand entry into Raph's and he was able to advance without resistance. Raph's grip on Leo's hips tightened briefly then his large hands began to stroke up and down the katana-wielder's exposed sides. Leo moaned lightly, spreading his legs until he was straddling Raph's lap, his knees pressing down into the fabric of the hammock. His own hands wandered to his brother's nether regions. Withdrawing from their kissing, Leo moved his lips to Raph's neck.

While teeth grazed and nipped at his flesh, Raph glanced at his alarm clock and immediately wished he hadn't. It was well past the time that their day should have started and although Master Splinter was fairly lenient on mornings that followed tough missions that didn't mean that their father wouldn't come looking for absent sons. Sighing in frustration, Raph reached down to put a stop to Leo's fondling fingers.

"Probably shouldn't be starting something we might not be able ta finish," Raph explained when Leo looked at him in confusion.

"We have time," Leo insisted, trying to grope for Raph's groin again.

"Ya've already spent an extra two hours in bed," the hothead said. "Ya don't want ta rouse suspicious, do ya?"

Leo had to take a minute to consider his options. He didn't want to stop. He needed Raph right now, physically and emotionally. He'd spend the entire day curled up in this hammock with his brother if he could.

But the chance of being caught mid-deed was petrifying. Leo knew he didn't have the strength of mind to deal with that possible scenario. Not when he was still so mentally exhausted from last night's misfortune. Raph was being the voice of reason for once and Leo decided to listen to him, albeit begrudgingly. With a final kiss to Raph's lips, Leo sat up.

"Later?" he inquired, conveying his desire to return to Raph come bedtime in a single word.

"Later," Raph affirmed and gave Leo's rear a gentle swat. "Now ya better get out of here."

Leo set the hammock swinging as he clambered out, feeling somewhat proud that he managed to escape without tipping the stupid thing. Except for his mask, he was still dressed in his gear which was making his departure much simpler than it usually was when he spent the night in Raph's room. He spotted the blue material in the middle of the floor and stooped to retrieve it. When he straightened back up, he was startled by Raph's sudden appearance right beside him and even more so when Raph took him in his arms and kissed him deeply.

"Try not ta beat yerself up too much today," Raph requested, caressing his brother's face lovingly. "And remember I'm here if ya need me, okay?"

"…okay…" Leo murmured.

Hands clasped on Raph's shoulder, Leo pulled the taller turtle down into a new kiss. Raph groaned into Leo's mouth. He should have known better than to restart a fire that had smoldered, but he hadn't been able to resist the temptation. Not with Leo looking like he needed a good kissing and, hell, especially not with him acting like he wanted way more than just that. Raph caught himself as his hands were creeping down to Leo's sweet ass and with a tremendous use of willpower, he pulled away until he was holding Leo at arm's length.

"Later," Raph reiterated gruffly while every instinct in his body was screaming at him to pin Leo to the floor and pound his cock into Leo's tight hole.

The katana-wielder felt a whine rise in his throat and he hastily swallowed to force it back down. He was disappointed, but the look on Raph's face told him that he no hope of seducing the larger ninja any further.

"Later," Leo echoed.

Raph gave a short nod and let his hands drop to his sides. Set free, Leo finally made for the exit. A quick listen and look indicated that his path was clear and he slipped out the door into an empty hallway.

He crept towards the bathroom only to pause halfway as the smell of fresh-baked blueberry muffins greeted his nose. Leo glanced at the kitchen door, noting that the lights were on and at least one shadow could be seen moving about. His sharp ears picked up the sound of Mikey singing while tending to food frying on the stove. Mikey's nonsensical song was suddenly interrupted by a voice that could only belong to Donnie. The genius's words were undiscernible, but whatever he said made Mikey burst out in laughter. Satisfied that his younger brothers were and would stay adequately occupied, Leo hustled into the dark bathroom and locked the door.

Leo leaned against the wooden barrier and took a deep breath while flipping on the lights. He was now aware of just how badly he needed a shower. Bits of dust had burrowed into the pores of his skin and nestled down in his scutes. The overall dirty feeling made him cringe in discomfort. Pushing off from the door, he stripped as he crossed the tiled floor.

Each piece of clothing removed seemed to be saturated with Raph's scent. The heady musk teased Leo and made his cock swell beneath his plastron. He could barely contain his erection by the time he entered the shower. Twisting the hot tap, Leo grit his teeth as he was blasted by frigid water that rapidly changed to near scalding. Dirt and grime ran down Leo's body in small streams to join the river rushing down the drain. Leo let the water wash over him, his mind too distracted to pick up a sponge and scrub himself clean.

Raph…

His red-masked brother was the sole subject of his thoughts…

…the dark green skin…those fierce golden eyes…that accented voice…

…strong arms…

…soft touch…

…gentle lips…

…all the things he'd said and done to provide comfort throughout the night and into the morning.

Bracing one hand against the shower wall, Leo groaned when his aching cock sprang forth into the open air. There were no reservations as he wrapped his other hand around the stiff flesh and began to stroke with vigor. He could feel his heart rate rising both from the heat of the shower and the heat in his loins.

…Raph…

Leo wanted him…

…needed him…

…now more than ever.

The leader didn't last long in his pent-up state. One final stroke and he came hard, blowing his load over the wet tile in front of him. Panting heavily, he rested his forehead on his arm as the water continued to rain down on his tired body, completely oblivious to the fact that Raph had achieved a similar satisfaction mere seconds ago in the bedroom they had shared.

XXXX

The day couldn't have been passing any slower. Leo found himself checking the clock constantly and grew increasingly irritated with how little the time had changed. He tried to hurry it along by performing his katas, reading, watching television, and meditating, but it was futile. Nothing could hold his interest for very long and he transitioned from one activity to the next repeatedly without really accomplishing anything.

Of course, most of the remaining clan assumed that their leader's restlessness had to do with the Ruffington catastrophe. Mikey, Don, and Master Splinter had each made inquiries to Leo regarding it, but he had brushed aside their concerns with curt replies and hasty retreats from their vicinity. They eventually took the hint and let him be, but continued to glance in his direction and hold hushed conversations about him. Leo didn't care. It wasn't their attention that he was after.

He wanted Raphael's.

Leo had felt Raph's eyes on him multiple times, but only met his brother's gaze once. The encouraging half-smile he'd received from the hothead had sent Leo's heart hammering and his tail twitching. His jerk-off session in the shower that morning hadn't slaked his lust for Raph at all. With his insides aflutter, Leo had briefly returned the smile and looked away. From then on, it was a constant struggle to keep from staring openly at the object of his desire and eventually he had retreated to his room to give himself a break.

Flopping his shell down on to the mattress, Leo stared up at the ceiling. He caught sight of the crack above his desk and frowned. It had gotten bigger. While wondering whether he ought to tell Donnie about it, Leo's eyes began to flicker and he soon drifted off for an unintended nap.

He was roused four hours later by Splinter gently shaking him by the shoulder. The ninjutsu master requested Leo's presence at the supper table. Leo grumpily complied and sat through a meal he didn't want to eat, forcing conversation he didn't want to have while hoping his face didn't reveal just how much he was yearning for Raph who was seated directly across from him. Afterwards, Leo marched for the dojo where he forced himself to remain late into the evening, taking out his frustrations on a few unfortunate practice dummies.

At last, the hour was late enough for him to seek out Raph's company. As Leo prepared to exit the practice room, he had to remind himself to keep his movements discreet. His caution was unnecessary. Everyone else had already gone to bed, leaving the lair completely dark. Even so, Leo utilized all of his ninja skills to surreptitiously re-enter Raph's room and lock the door.

As expected, Raph was stretched out in his hammock with one foot dangling over the side which he used to rock himself. He was too engrossed in his motorcycle magazine to notice that he had a guest right away. It took a few page flips before he finally spotted Leo in his peripheral vision. Head popping up, Raph cast his magazine aside and stood to greet his brother. He was barely on his feet when he was knocked backwards by Leo crashing into him.

Both turtles fell in a heap on the cushy pile of pillows and blankets littering the floor under the hammock. Raph grunted as Leo's weight landed on top of him. He wasn't given the chance to speak. That opportunity was immediately denied by Leo who claimed Raph's lips in an aggressive kiss that made Raph's eyes widen in shock.

"Well, hello ta ya, too," Raph said teasingly after Leo relinquished his mouth several minutes later. He grinned, feeling Leo's hands all over him, roughly yanking off his gear. "Missed me, did ya?"

"Yes," Leo husked then nipped harshly at Raph's neck while simultaneously reaching for his groin.

His less-than-gentle bite summoned forth a loud groan from Raph. Fingers dipped inside the slit in his lower plastron to rub at his housed cock. Raph shuddered as Leo quickly coaxed him into an erection. Leo's rigid dick had already emerged and was grinding steadily against Raph's hip. The hothead fumbled for the leader's belt, stripped it away, and cupped his hands around Leo's derrière to pull him even closer.

Another nip prompted another groan followed by a curse. "Shit, Leo…easy on the teeth…"

Leo lifted his head and looked down at Raph briefly before he leaned in to attack Raph's mouth again.

"…Le-…Leo…Leo…" Raph tried to get his brother's attention between the frantic kisses being applied to his lips. "…Le-ahh-ohh!"

Raph's attempt at speech turned into a throaty moan as Leo squeezed his solid shaft and thumbed the sensitive tip. Pulling back, Leo rose into a low crouch over Raph's waist and positioned the throbbing member he held in hand directly beneath his puckered hole. Raph realized Leo's intentions and tried to stop them a second too late.

"…no, wai-…!" Raph protested just as Leo impaled himself on Raph's cock.

The sai-wielder groaned while the katana-wielder gasped at the sudden penetration. Leo grimaced in pain, his jaw clenching and his fingers digging into Raph's hips. Despite his discomfort, he had only the slightest regret for his rash action. He drew in a ragged breath and was about to lift himself up again, but Raph had seized hold of his thighs and was keeping him firmly rooted to the spot.

"Ya big dummy!" Raph chastised with a scowl. "Yer gonna hurt yerself!"

"I don't care," Leo insisted.

"Well, I do!" Raph argued.

Slipping his hands up and around Leo's shell, he carefully reversed their positions while remaining inside his brother's snug rear. He tugged Leo's hands off his hips and pinned them to the floor on either side of Leo's head. Robbed of his control, Leo could only stare up at the larger ninja questioningly.

"Yer heart and mind are suffering enough as it is," the hothead reasoned in a softened tone. "Ya don't need ta add physical pain ta the mix, ya hear me?" Slowly, Leo nodded. Raph leaned in and brushed his lips along his brother's reddened cheek as his voice dropped to a whisper. "…besides…we ain't in no rush now…"

"…Raph…" Leo began, squirming under his brother's hold.

"Shhhh…" Raph hushed. "…just relax…"

Smothering Leo's lips with his own, Raph let them linger there until he felt the tension in his brother's body slacken. His hands lifted off of Leo's wrists and he repositioned them so that his right was supporting him while his left was free to tease and caress Leo. As his fingers burrowed through pillows to get to the older turtle's tail, Raph trailed kisses across Leo's cheek and down to his neck where his lips decided to settle.

The leader huffed as a rough palm wrapped around his tail and stroked it in long, even pulls. He attempted to flick the appendage out of his brother's grasp, but the hold stayed firm. Leo had to endure the darts of pleasure each stroke sent straight to his groin. His pain-shriveled cock was gaining girth and length. When the next pulse came his revitalized member throbbed and he moaned with need.

Prying Raph off of his neck with his left hand, Leo turned his head and brought their lips together again. Leo latched onto Raph's carapace, slowly raking his fingers down the hexagonal scutes to a pair of solid buttocks and back up along the edges of Raph's plastron.

The thrilling touch made Raph's spine tingle and his tail twitch in excitement. His buried cock, still raging hard, dribbled pre-come from its tip, lubricating the passageway it had entered. Releasing Leo's tail, Raph reached for his brother's dick and gave it the same teasing treatment.

Beneath him, Leo shifted as he tried to bring more of his body in to contact with Raph. Understanding, Raph decided to appease the older turtle and slipped his right arm under Leo's neck to cushion it before lowering himself further. Their chests bumped together and Leo immediately hooked his arms around Raph's shell while his thick thighs squeezed the hothead's hips. Disengaging from their kiss, Leo opened his eyes and stared up at his sibling.

"…Raph…now…" he requested. "…please…"

"Ya sure yer ready?" Raph asked.

"Yes!" Leo replied enthusiastically and squeezed his thighs again. "Please?"

"Okay," Raph relented, his mouth forming a grin. "Just remember that ya asked for it."

With that, he went in for another kiss while giving his hips a shallow thrust. Leo gasped, but this time it wasn't in pain. Raph repeated the motion over and over, gradually increasing his speed as Leo continued to utter sounds of bliss. When Leo suddenly threw his head back and moaned, Raph knew that he had found the appropriate target inside his brother's tight hole and focused on hitting the same spot from then on.

"…Raph…ahhh….Raph…Raph…" Leo mewled, his fingers grappling his brother's shell. "…oh god…Raph…"

The mantra made Raph's ego swell, but Leo's volume was quickly approaching a risky level. Slowing his thrusts, he issued a caution to his older brother. "Shhhhh…now yer the one being too loud…"

"…don't care…" the katana-wielder insisted. "…don't stop…"

Pulling his knees up towards his chest, Leo planted his feet on Raph's hips and directed them to move forward for a hard thrust. Raph's moan matched the smaller turtle's as his cock drove deeper.

"Fuck," Raph swore as his limbs trembled slightly. "Ya keep that up and I ain't gonna be able ta stay quiet either."

"I said don't stop," Leo snapped impatiently, digging his toes into Raph's skin.

Arching an eye ridge in surprised amusement, Raph gave a tentative thrust while he grumbled. "...sassy little power bottom, ain't ya?" The remark earned him a comical glare which made Raph snort with laughter. "Alright, alright…quit yer fussing..."

He snuck in a few quick kisses as his hips worked to resume their previous rhythm. Sounds of approval slipped past Leo's lips once again and he leeched back on to Raph's throat. Lifting his feet, he hooked them behind his brother's shell.

"…hah…goddamn, Leo…" Raph muttered with a newfound appreciation for the leader's flexibility. He hissed as teeth sank into him once again. "…ya keep getting better and better at this…"

Humming in agreement, Leo reached down and laid his right hand on top of Raph's left which had ceased motion on his cock. He guided Raph through the proper procedure for stroking his straining shaft. Their fingers grew slick as pre leaked freely from Leo's tip and dribbled everywhere. Leo groaned, feeling the front end of his orgasm set in.

"…Ra-….Ra-….Raph…."the leader gasped and forced their combined hands to pump faster while he legs hugged his brother's waist tighter. "….Raph….hah…hah….ahhhhh!"

In a moment of clarity, Raph hoped that his bedroom walls were thick enough that no one would hear Leo's scream of passion. The though quickly passed though when he became distracted by the rush of hot cum coating his hand and the intense pressure encasing his dick. Mouth open, he sucked in air while his hips continued to gyrate.

"Ah, fuck!" Raph cursed as every muscle in his body suddenly tensed and then relaxed right before his dick exploded inside the other ninja. "…nnngh….Leo…" His vision blacked and he temporarily lost the ability to breathe. "…shit…"

Panting hard, he rested his forehead on Leo's heaving chest. The next several minutes passed in a blur while their elation slowly faded. Leo lay in sated bliss, staring blankly overhead and gently petting the back of Raph's neck. He was acutely aware of Raph cleaning him up and tucking him away. Then he felt a sense of loss as Raph freed his spent cock.

With reluctance, Leo unhooked his feet and planted them flat on the floor. Raph's face came into view, smiling down at him as fingers caressed his cheek again. Leo grinned in return.

"Happy now?" Raph inquired quietly.

"Yes," Leo said in complete honesty.

The sai-wielder's smile brightened. Hands gripped his shoulders and pulled him down as Leo settled back into the pillows. They gazed at one another for a long moment until the katana-wielder closed his eyes and instigated a kiss.

Leo's heart surged when their lips touched. It was a powerful sensation, much different than the influence adrenaline had on his vital organ. In all his life, he had never experienced such a feeling and he was struggling to comprehend it.

Then Raph kissed him a second time and Leo felt the surge again. As their tongues sought each other's company, Leo thought that he might understand.

Maybe…

…he really was falling in love with Raph…

...maybe.
