Anoooother update! Man, I'm so inspired!

And nope... I still don't own them.


That night the guys went out on patrol, all but one. Things where pretty good at the beginning but went they hit the nightmare topic, things were from bad to worse.

"Guys, I think we should have told him" Mikey said.

"Mikey, we've already talked about that. Leo's not our nanny, nor our dad or our mom. He ain't need to know every single move we make" Raph said angrily.

"Oh really? I'm sure you soooo wanted to tell him your nightmare as much I did! But your stupid pride made us to hide it from Leo!" Mikey replied.

"Watch yer words, Mikey!" Raph said pointing his finger at Mikey.

"Guys, guys. Calm down!" Don said.

"You know what, Raph? If I remember clearly when we were kids you were the first one to go with Leo when you had a nightmare. Do you remember that Raphie?" Mikey said playfully.

"I'm warnin' ya!" Raph said getting angrier.

"We…er… we better go back home. The city seems quiet tonight" Don said nervously.

"You go guys; I'll stay a little longer" Raph said walking away.

"We can't go back just the two of us. Leo's worried enough and…"

"I'm tired of that! Leo this, Leo that… could ya stop thinkin' about Fearless for once? And he's worried just 'cause he wants to be"

"He wouldn't be worried if we should have told him!" Mikey replied.

"Mikey, just one more word…"

"STOP! I TOLD HIM!" Don yelled.

"Eh?" Mikey and Raph looked at Don.

"I told him… about what happened last night… to us"

"You little traitor!" Raph took his genius brother by the shoulders and pushed him to the wall.

"Raph! What are you doing?"

"I thought we said NOBODY would tell him! And YOU…"

"Raph, I'm sorry! I didn't want it but…"

"But, but? If yer so worried about yer brother then why da shell did ya talk?"

"He insisted about it! I couldn't help but tell him, Raph. I was…"

"Scared? I'll show ya a reason to be scared for!" Raph said waving his fist in front of Don's face.

"Raph, it's enough!" Mikey yelled and threw a punch on Raph's face. Everyone froze at the scene. Mikey slowly realized what he had done but now it was too late to turn back the page.

"Raph, I… I didn't mean to… really, dude! I…" Mikey stuttered and ran away.

"Mikey! Come back!" Don yelled.

"Leave him" Raph muttered.

"Raph?"

"He's right; I'm just… a jerk" Raph said sadly.

"Raph, I'm sorry"

"Don't be. I'm the one who's sorry, Donnie. I shouldn't have yelled at ya; it's just… *sigh*… I ain't want Leo to get worried either"

"I know; I used to think the same thing but I guess we can't change Leo's nature" Don smiled.

"Yeah. Well, we gotta go back. I need to fix up things with Mikey"

"Raph, he was angry. Try to…"

"Hey, I already know that. I ain't gonna kill' im! I guess I needed that punch after all" Raph chuckled.

Back into the lair, Mikey was lying in his bed; his head buried in the pillow trying to muffle his sobs. Unfortunately, Leo had a good ear. The blue masked ninja came into the prankster's room and sat down beside him in the bed.

"Mikey, you ok?"

"I… I… no, Leo. I'm not ok" Mikey sobbed throwing himself into his brother's arms "I did something… terrible!"

"What did you do?"

"W-we were on patrol and… w-we started to t-talk… t-then w-we had an argument and I… I… I hit Raph!"

"Whoa! It must had been a very bad argument" Leo said in surprise.

"I didn't m-mean it, L-Leo… re-really! I was s-so… angry because we hid you the truth a-about…"

"I know, I know. Donnie already told me" Leo said smirking a little.

"W-we know y-you just w-wanted to help but… Raph made us not t-to tell you and… and I felt s-so bad! I'm sorry, Leo!" Mikey cried harder.

"Ssh Mikey, it's ok. You don't need to apologize, I understand" Leo said and hugged Mikey tightly.

"Y-you're not angry at us?"

"Why should I be? Now, if you have another nightmare just come and we'll find the solution together ok?"

"Thanks Leo. You're the best brother ever!"

"Mikey, you have to apologize with Raph when he comes back"

"But what if he doesn't forgive me? Or worse! What if he hits me so hard that I won't be able to talk for a week?"

"Well, what if I talk to him first and then you go and apologize? Are you good with that?"

"Uh-hum"

"Ok, but that will be tomorrow; it's late and you need to sleep"

"Ok, thanks again Leo"

"No need to thank me, bro. Good night" Leo said covering Mikey with his blanket and placing a kiss on his forehead. Immediately, the orange masked ninja froze at the familiar sensation. Leo made his way out of the room when Mikey called him back.

"Er… Leo?"

"Yeah?"

"N-nothing… good night, bro"

"Night, Mikey" Leo said and closed the door. Mikey rolled on his left side feeling a little confused. It was a weird coincidence, he thought; maybe his mind was playing with him last night but that warmth felt so familiar, so real… almost like last night. Finally, Mikey fell asleep with the doubt still on his mind.
