A/N: Okay, the next chapter is up :D

I'm gonna focus more on Life-Breathing, Black Heart, and Ghost in NYC a bit more after this update but, if I hit a snag, I'll come back to this. For some reason, I find this story very easy to update XD!

I hope you enjoy this installment. There is no turtlecest in this chapter but it is mentioned.

Don

"... Leo, why are you meditating in my lab?" I said with uncertainty upon entering my space of science and creation- my beloved lab and second home. My older brother was currently sitting Indian style, taking up the meditative position, in the center of the room, his eyes closed and his face peaceful and serene. His eye ridges shifted slightly when I had broken the silence in the room, a small smile touched his lips before he responded to my question.

"What? I can't greet my younger brother earlier in the morning after... or in this case, during my morning reflections?" He said innocently, his eyes remained closed while he spoke.

I rolled my eyes, close the door behind me. Although I didn't like it when my brothers entered my laboratory without my permission- or at all, really- I kind of didn't mind when Leo did it. After all, Leo was the least likely of my brothers to break things or mess with my projects or act foolishly or break things... wait, I already said that, didn't I? Leo was very respectful of my work space, unlike Mikey with his with his odd impulses to press big, shiny, red buttons (wouldn't the fact that their big and red alert him to the fact that they could do something dangerous or risky?) and Raph with his insensitive, barbaric way of manhandling my equipme-

Oooohh, Raph. Heh, that had to be it...

I sighed, sauntering over to my work desk to search for one of my invention journals, "What going on with blockhead this time?"

Leo frowned slightly, his eyes slowly opened before they lock onto mine. His once serene facade melted away into one of uncertainty and mild worry, "We talked yesterday night..."

I blinked with confusion; that didn't sound to bad. After all, they hadn't talked on a regular basis since Usagi started to come around more often, "... Isn't that a good thing?"

"... it could have been if Raph wasn't so damn... confrontational," He said, shaking his head as he swiftly stood to his feet, "We had been talking about our relationship and why it had ended and... now, he wants to fix it."

"Well isn't that a good thing?" I repeated, shouting a mental 'eureka' when I found the book I was looking for before I brought my full attention back to my brother, "I mean... it might be a bit hard to do with Usagi and all but-"

"I meant he wants to fix it... forcefully," Leo clarified, crossing his arms over his chest slowly, "Or so I am lead to believe, anyway."

I raised my eye ridge "Forcefully? Like how?"

He shrugged, "I haven't the slightest idea but I am pretty sure it'll revolve around something sexual. That's what he tried to do last night."

Both of my eye ridges flew up before I snorted, "Man, he has no tact whatsoever."

"You're telling me," He breathed, "That's why I am opting to be a coward for the moment. Your lab is one of the best hiding spots in this whole layer. Raph wouldn't dare to come in here unless he wanted to invoke your wrath."

I laughed outright, shaking my head at his reasoning, "I'm mad you said that with a straight face..."

He lower lip slightly poked out, "It's true, though. If he finds me alone... there's no telling what will happen to me."

"Oh, I have a pretty good idea what would happen to you," I started in a matter-of-fact, walking past him to sit at my computer, fluidly turning it on in the process, "He'll continue to force himself on you until you give in...since you just can't resist his demanding character and muscle bound physique-"

I don't know why but I could just feel him blushed as he walked up behind my computer chair, "T-that's not..."

I cut him off, continuing with my rant, "- and then you two will proceed to have wild, passionate, I-haven't-had-you-in-weeks sex that will probably alert all- and I do mean all- inhabitants of New York City that you two are going at it. Does that sound about right?"

After several seconds of silence, Leo cleared his throat, a hint of bashfulness had entered his voice, "That's... t-true, I suppose. That probably would have worked if were we still together but this is different now. I have Usagi now, Don. I can't... I won't be unfaithful to him, no matter how much Raph presses me."

I grinned to myself, suppressing a giggle, "Even if he does that deep, gravelly voice that he only uses when you-"

"H-how do you know these things?" He said with an edge of surprise, walking up to my side in order to look at me with wide, startled eyes.

I laughed lightly, "You do realize that you two used to just... do it, right? Like, you didn't even check if I was in my lab or if Mikey was in his room or..."

"Alright, alright," He said quickly, his already darkened cheeks deepened further to an emerald green, "A-anyway, I'll just stay with you until you leave the lab. I'll even help you will some project...o-or with some heavy-lifting. Just as long I'm not left alone so that… that thing can get to me."

I laughed again, louder this time, "Okay. I don't mind, just as long as you don't start touching everything or breaking stuff. I trust that you won't."

He released an exhalation of relief, placing a grateful hand upon my shoulder as he did, "Thank you, Don. That means a lot."

I nodded, placing a hand on top of him as reassurance, "No problem, bro... but... what are you going to do when you aren't in my lab?"

He dropped his head, gently squeezing my shoulder before he let go of me, "I haven't the slightest idea. I just hope that Usagi comes back early..."

Warning: If you read my warnings and still decided to send a flame, I will report your ass. :)
