Whoa, 3 updates! Damn you, chocolate bonbons! Ok, enjoy!

And nope... I don't own them

Leo wasn't allowed to train because of his wound and that was driving him crazy. Instead, he sat in a corner of the dojo and saw his brothers doing their katas. Though they wanted to deny it, Leo knew what the 'thing' they were talking about was but he wanted to be sure just in case. He had to wait until they were done so he could talk to them.

"Well done, my son. You are dismissed for today" Splinter said.

"Ok, it's now or never" Leo thought as he stood up.

The first one to interview was going to be Mikey. He thought his baby brother would talk but he soon would discover Mikey was the master of denial. Leo waited until Mikey took his video game controllers and got his mind lost into the game. That was the perfect moment.

"Mikey, can I have a word with you?"

"Yeah, bro. What is it?"

"It's about… the thing you were talking about with the guys this morning" Mikey's eyes went wide and lost control of the space ship on his game making him lost the game.

"Er… eh… oh shell! I… lost the game! Uhmmm… I think I'm up for a snack!" Mikey said as he stood up but a grip on his wrist made him stop.

"Mikey, please. I know something was bothering you and the others last night"

"Last n-night? How do you… er… I mean, nothing's wrong Leo, really. Now… please, if you could let me go… I'm… I'm hungry"

"…*sigh*… ok, go" Leo sighed letting his brother to 'escape' from him, literally talking.

"Hmm… maybe I'll try with Raph, though I know it would be a waste of time" Leo thought as he made his way to the garage.

Leo was glad to find him there but he wasn't alone, Casey was there already. Leo heard them talking about upgrades for their bikes and other stuffs and he understood that was Raph's way to let him know he wasn't going to talk either.

"Well, there goes my last chance" Leo sighed mentally.

"Wait a sec… Of course!" Leo thought as he remembered he hadn't used all his options, there was a certain genius turtle he hadn't talked to yet.

"If Donnie doesn't talk… then I won't be able to help them with this"

Don was in his room searching for some answers by his own. Having three nightmares at the same night with the same relieving and soothing ending was a weird coincidence. His mind and eyes were lost in the computer screen and he didn't notice when Leo entered into the genius' room.

"Donnie?" Leo asked placing a hand on his genius brother.

"AHHH! L-Leo? Don't scare me like that!" Don said angrily recovering from the shock.

"I'm sorry but I needed to…"

"I've checked your wound already Leo. Is it opened again?" Don asked in concern.

"No, no. My wound is ok, thanks for asking. But I still need to talk about… this morning"

"T-this morning? Eh… what y-you wanna know about this morning? In fact, what happened this morning?" Don asked nervously twirling his chair back to the computer. Leo twirled back the chair making his brother to look at him.

"Don, please. Don't lie to me, Mikey and Raph did the same. I need to know what that nightmare was about!"

"How do you know it was a nightmare?… eh… I mean… er… aww shell! I'm doomed, right?" Don said slapping his forehead.

"Hehe, now you're gonna tell me or what?" Leo asked chuckling.

"It's not a big deal, Leo. It's just weird that… hey, now seriously: how did you know about our last night nightmares?" Don asked back.

"Well… er… I just… thought of it! When you have a nightmare and you don't tell anyone about it, you always act weird and scared the next day" Leo explained.

"You've got a point on that one. I guess you know us more than I thought" Don said smirking.

"Well, what was that nightmare about?"

"I don't wanna talk about it. Every time I remember it, it's like…"

"Like making it real?"

"You really know us, Leo" Don said making an emphasis on 'really'.

"Not exactly. And tell me, Raph and Mikey had the same nightmare too?"

"Yes"

"And why didn't you tell me about it before?"

"I… we didn't want you to worry"

"But that's my job! I'm the eldest brother here"

"Leo, the last thing you need now is more worries"

"You mean for this?" Leo asked pointing at his wound "Donnie, if I remember well… Splinter prohibited me to train; I don't remember he prohibited me to worry about you too"

Don sighed sadly, his brother was right once more. Leo, the perfect one, had hit the nail on the head again. Leo was always protecting them from the bad guys in their battles and from their nightmares too. The genius turtle thought Leo was worrying too much but it was his big brother's natural instinct, almost like a mother.

"Donnie, you know I'm here for you and the others. No matter how tired or busy I am sometimes, you know you can come to me and tell me what's wrong. Understood?" Leo said calmly.

"Yeah, you're right bro. Sorry for not telling you earlier, but don't tell the guys I… well, you see: I promised them I wouldn't tell you about this and you know Raph…"

"Donnie, I didn't hear anything. Ok? They won't know about our talk, I promise"

"Phew! Thanks Leo"

"Well, I'm getting hungr-AHH!" Leo clutched his bandaged wound in pain.

"Leo, are you ok?"

"I-It seems the… the stitches got opened… again" Leo said, the pain clearly noticed in his voice.

"Stay here, I'll take care of that" Don said as he went to the bathroom for the first aid kit. He got back with his blue banded brother immediately.

"Whoa! That was fast!"

"I don't want this wound to get infected" Don said removing the bandage.

"But it was just for a few seconds, it's not…"

"It is a big deal! Don't you know you could die for an infection or something worse?" Don replied angrily.

"So… that was the nightmare about? Me… dying?"

"Leo, I… I…" Don stuttered.

"Bingo" Leo thought "Donnie, look at me" Leo ordered.

"Don't cry, Don. Don't cry!" Don repeated in his mind.

"Don, look at me" Leo ordered again. Don kept stitching the wound avoiding Leo's gaze and don't paying attention to the little tear rolling down his face. Leo placed a hand on Don's, stopping his stitching.

"Hey, being stubborn and playing deaf is Raph's line" Leo said smirking.

"Leo, let me finish please"

"No until you look at me, Donnie"

"And you say Raph's stubborn" Don replied.

"We're bros, we have a little of each other inside us. Now Don, look at me" Leo insisted. Don did what his brother commanded.

"Don, this is just wound. I've been wounded before"

"Yeah, but you weren't about to die before!" Don said letting another tear to escape from his eyes.

"Easy Don!" Leo said pulling Don into a hug. Don couldn't stand it any longer and let his tears run free.

"Ssh… I'm not leaving you, guys. Not for now" Leo soothed his genius brother and placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Don's mind snapped as he felt something familiar in that calming action.

"Er… Leo?"

"Hmmm?"

"I… I gotta finish your stitch" Don said as he broke the embrace and got back to his stitching. This was nothing but a coincidence, he thought. But somehow it felt almost like the soothing warmth that made his nightmare to go away.

"There, all done" Don said.

"Thanks Donnie. I better go to bed now"

"But you said you were hungry, Leo"

"Oh, right… right. I'll go just for a tea"

"Don't worry, I'll go for it. Just wait in your room; you don't want that wound to get opened again, do you?"

"Ok, but you don't need to…"

"But I want to, Leo. Wait in your room, I'll be right back" Don said as he left his room. Leo got up and made his way to his own room.

"I knew Donnie wouldn't lie to me" Leo thought smirking.
