Hi all, im back with a chapter ^_^ and...

Raph is going to kill me O.O hehehe *Raph enters my room* OK squirt, what are you planning now?

TE: big bro fluff, you need it Raphie! ^_^' *CLANG* *sais hits the wall* *Runs for her life* what's with you? xD

PS. LEO/ MIKEY FLUFF!

Leo chuckled for Mikey's little joke and got to bed, how the shell could that kid be so good on cooking? He sure was glad he only got there to make a sandwich and a cup tea and then get out of there since the place hated him, he couldn't even walk near the microwave before...KABOOM!...It was turned to junk!

Since then he was only allowed to go there to make a small snack and stay away from it, Donnie and made it clear that if the microwave blew up one more time cause Leo had gone near it he would beat the bloody crap out of him, and Leo stayed away from him for three days until Donnie changed his mind, which changed after a day when Raph said that Leo thought Donnie hated him.

But even Leo knew that they didn't hate him, sure Raph had been for the last few weeks but deep down he had missed him and those emotions had over come him that night on the roof and Leo was glad they had that fight, and when that cage got sucked into the vortex it had almost killed his brothers, Leo had seen Raph's face as he watched the thing disappear.

Now he would think of something to make up for it, he fell asleep while thinking on it and didn't hear the door open and a smaller body crawl in his bed but he didn't notice a wet cheek press against him and is eyes snapped open.

"Mikey? You had a nightmare again?" Leo asked and looked at his little brother, the fear was hard to avoid and Leo smiled, pulling his brother in a hug and placed his chin on top of Mikey's head, hoping to calm down the younger turtle.

"Glad you're back Leo, Please down leave that long again..." "Don't worry, i won't...Not for a life time" Leo reassured and smiled down at him, Mikey smiled back and then saw the wound on Leo's chest, "How's the infection?" "Oh shell, thanks for reminding me!" Leo said and flew out of bed and told Mikey to stay there since it could take a while but Mikey got up and followed in case Donnie wasn't in the lab.

Donnie looked up when Leo came in with Mikey behind "Hey, what's..." He started but then saw the bandage on Leo's chest "I can't be that old already!" He laughed and got the things he needed, Mikey smiled and looked at Leo, who had a don't-even-think-about it look, he just hadn't been thinking about the wound until Mikey asked.

"Go get some sleep Mikey, in MY room, I'll be there when Donnie is finished with me and kicked to bed by me..."

"You take Mikey and I'll carry Donnie and tie him up in his bed if you want"

Raph stood in the doorway and watched them, then his eyes fell on Leo and his face paled "I thought he was fine by now" He said and started to help out, Leo rolled his eyes and waited for the flood of questions to come.

"How did this happen Leo? It must have been a real bad infection but you managed to keep it clean, and that sort could make you lose count of days" Donnie asked and started to work, Leo laid on his shell and thought for a moment.

"I don't remember much...Only the battle, the bullets and the guy with the sword, I tried to get away but when I did I had a large cut and then when I looked at the sword, it was a muddy and I knew that I had to make sure it didn't get worse, but...When I got to the place where I hided I started to clean it but it was already infected...The healing herbs did the trick but soon I ran low on them and was to weak to go find more"

Donnie had to stop to dry the tears from his eyes and then kept going until he was done, Leo got up and leaded Mikey back to the upper floor, leaving Donnie and Raph to talk "I-Why wasn't I there?...With a infection like that and all alone?" Donnie whispered and found his self getting crushed by Raph, Donnie let his tears fall and letted Raph hold him.

They were both shocked to hear that Leo had been through that alone when they all had promised that they would always be there for each other...And to hear Leo's tale about the jungle...Broke them both "You some with me, don't think you'll stand the nightmare tonight" Raph said and leaded Donnie to his room, once he got he gear off Donnie and left the belt and mask Raph did the same and then laid down beside Donnie.

Leo's room:

"You..Really went through all that by your self?" Mikey asked and laid down beside Leo and tried to dry off his tears, Leo didn't smile, only nodded as he got to bed as well and closed his eyes "I thought about you guys every time I cleaned the wound and it gave me the strength to keep fighting it, then April came and told about you guys and then I found the letters from you all, I hadn't been to the post office for while and then I forgot to write back...I started to think that you guys were better off with out me..."

"We weren't"

"...After only five weeks, Raph sneaked out of the lair with a bag on his shell, I knew what he did, he wanted to go after you...But after thirty minuets, he came back, bloody...He never left, he realized that he was needed here and not go after you, when I asked him where he was going, he just told me the truth"

Leo bit his own lip hard as Mikey talked and told him the real truth, how they truly felt the day he didn't come back and how close they had been to fall apart, Mikey felt Leo shake and knew that he was crying so he fell quiet and then both fell asleep, both in a dead grip.
