A/N: Hey two chapters in 24 hours, I'm doing good so far! Hopefully there aren't too many errors in this chappy, I did this in parts due to having to clean my split lip and take care of some housework. I know it's short, but there wasn't much catching up left to do with Mikey right here. I'll take care of that stuff in the next chapter. Alright, to the chapter, yes? This one is a few days after Leo woke up, and I'm hoping I didn't botch this one with Mikey.

Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT.

Michelangelo found his pleasant dreams abruptly ended by the sound of something splintering horribly. He sat up quickly and yelped as his abdomen and chest exploded in pain. "Ooooh oh, that didn't feel too good." He thought to himself, easing back to laying down.

"Raph! I already told you that it's really unstable here! Don't be trying to move stuff like that!" Don's voice echoed. "Well I'm bored t'shit, Brainy! I'm wonderin' if there's still a functionin' T.V. here!"

Mikey wrinkled his face in puzzlement and glanced about the white room.

"Raphael! Don't break anything else! We have very little salvageable equipment as it is!" Leo's voice rang out. Mikey's head whipped to the side, spotting Leonardo sitting on the bed rewrapping the hilts of his katanas. Mikey's eyes began to grow wet with tears as he eyed the bandages around Leo's shoulder and chest.

Leo sensed something and turned, his eyes went wide as they met Mikey's. Leo dropped the katanas and quickly, though stiffly, made his way to Mikey's side. Leo pressed his forehead to Mikey's . "Shhh, Michelangelo, it's okay. Everything's okay now." Leo whispered, clutching Mikey's hand in his. Mikey sniffled. "Leo… I'm sorry…" Mikey started. Leo pulled back and shook his head. "Don't you dare Michelangelo. I've been hearing far too many apologies for the past few days. I just want things to calm down again, Mikey." Leo stated, looking deep into Mikey's eyes. Mikey swallowed. His eyes streamed tears and Leo wiped them away. "It's okay, Mikey, everyone is alive and well. In fact everyone has been waiting for you to wake up." Leo said with a smile.

"Really?" Mikey managed with a small smile. Leo nodded. "Yeah." He replied, happy to see a smile on his baby brother's face.

"Leooooo!" Came Donatello's angry voice from the doorway of the room. Leo turned and grinned sheepishly at the furious purple-masked turtle. "Donnie… surely I can move about now?" Leo asked, standing up with a sheepish grin plastered on his face. The furious genius began ranting angrily and Leo had a guilty look on his face. "Oh come on, Don… Mikey woke up." Leo said, trying to wriggle his way out of the angry turtle's scrutiny. "He did?" Raphael's asked, shoving Don out of the way and making his way into the room with a huge grin.

Michelangelo found himself bombarded by the smiles and loud voices of his brothers—and he couldn't help but smile back. His smile suddenly disappeared and a look mixed between bewilderment and pure animosity appeared on his usually smiling features.

Don frowned and turned to spot Tenjin peeking from the doorway. "Mikey, it's okay, that's Tenjin. I wasn't too happy about him at first, too—but he's actually been helping us a lot since he and the others got here. They used to work for Leo back when… well he was the Shredder." Don explained, furrowing his brows near the end of his sentence. Leo seemed quite uncomfortable by the explanation as well. Raph simply shrugged. "But he's one o' us now, bro'. He's the one who helped me fetch Leo's lil' ticker." Raph said with a grin, knocking on Leo's plastron. The older turtle shot a glare at Raphael who grinned wide.

Mikey wrinkled his face in puzzlement, forgetting the ninja. "Leo needed a heart?"

Don paled at that, glancing at Raph who seemed to regret his previous joke. Mikey sat up, his face a mix of hurt and betrayal. "You gave me your heart? You broke your promise…" Mikey whispered in incredulity. Leo sighed deeply. "Michelangelo…. I…"

"No. It's my fault. I removed his heart and gave it to you, Mikey. You were destabilizing quickly and Raph had already ran off to get Leo an artificial heart…" Don trailed off after seeing a fuming Raphael.

"Ya' have no right t'get all righteous with Leo. He did a brave thing fer' ya'. Ya' better appreciate that kinda' thing, Mikey. Not a lot o' people can give ya' their heart." Raph bit off every word, Don giving him a warning look so as not to set off their younger brother and cause more problems. "Raphael, that's enough." Leo said with a sigh as he rubbed the bridge between his eyes. Raph looked at him with a "are you seriously gonna' take crap like that" face. Leo shot him a glare and turned back to Mikey, who was on the verge of tears.

"Michelangelo," Leo said, dropping to one knee with a grimace. Don moved forward but Raphael caught his arm and shook his head. "This is somethin' they gotta' take care of." Raph whispered, stepping back. Don nodded and followed suit, the both of them nodded.

"I did break a promise, and I had intended to from the start. I, however, am not sorry for what I did." Leo said, kneeling. "I understand if you're mad at me. I understand if you are unwilling to speak with me for a long time. I-"Leo continued, his head bowed. Mikey yanked Leo's mask tails and the older turtle gave a muffled yelp as he was dragged into a hug. "I'm not mad at you, Leo." Mikey whispered, hugging Leo tightly. "I can't be, you saved my life! You protected me with all you had even when I thought you were an enemy… "Mikey whispered. Leo hugged him back gently and basked in the comforting embrace. "I was just trying to keep that first promise, Mikey." He whispered back. "I know," Mikey said.

The two remained that way for a few minutes. Raph and Don watched with warm smiles.

"Hey Leo." Mikey said.

"Yeah?"

"You still owe me ice cream."

A/N: I know, but I needed to bring back some humor. I don't want to go too OOC here. Anyways, thanks for reading this one, please review!
