"Raph? What are you doing?" Leo exclaims, shocked and confused at what he finds. His emerald skinned brother was covered from head to toe in what looks like Milk. Raph's cheeks, just visible under the milk, turned a faded pink. "Yeah What?" Raph mumbled, seriously embarrassed to find himself in such a scene in front of his leader and brother.

Leo took in what he saw and gave a small chuckle. "What are you doing at 1:36 in the morning covered in milk exactly?" he asked barely able to contain a small grin. Raphael's eye's narrowed and he was about to answer when they heard a sleepy voice call out to them.

"Guys? Why are you up? It's too early for meditation Leo" he grumbled as he made his way over. He stopped at the sight of Raphael and screamed. They echoed through the lair, waking up their genius brother. Donnie came out looking furious. "Mikey! Stop screaming! People are trying to sleep!" he whisper shouted when he had reached his brothers. Mikey was still shaking and pointed at Raph, "ITS THE BOOGIE MONSTER!" Don took one look at his second oldest brother and started cracking up. "Raph? Oh my God! You look terrible!" he managed to choke out through his laughter.

Raph glared at Donnie so Leo thought it was a goodtime to send his 2 younger brothers to bed while he helped Raph. They went their separate ways, Donnie still cracking and Mikey chuckling beside him. Leo turned his head back to Raph. "Now can you where you have been?" He asked with that air of authority that drove Raph nuts. Raph just glanced at Leo before nodding. "I need to talk to ya about it anyway Leo" he replied not meeting Leo's eyes. His older brother simply nodded before grabbing some towels to help his brother clean up.

Raph muttered what might have been an apology as he took the towels. While he was cleaning up, Leo was watching his muscles move under his skin and the milk sliding over them. He's perfect… wait, what? Leo shook his head, trying to clear his mind from his brother. Raph didn't notice a thing.

Once he had finished, he stood up and threw the towels into the bathroom where Leo had collected them from. "So… Leo…err…" Raph didn't know where to start and Leo took pity. He leant forwards and grabbed his brother's hand. "How about we start with where were you?" he said kindly, just to help his brother out. Raph just nodded and started again.

"Well, I was with Casey and we were just having a nice old chat on the rooftop near April's place. We had a few beers and-"Raph broke off because Leo had jumped up in shock. "Beers? WHAT? Raphael! You know better than to get drunk! What would have happened if the foot got you? I wish you would think some things through!" Leo exclaimed, the protective side for his brothers coming through.

Raph was chuckling which made Leo even madder. "Leo, Leo. I only had 1 okay? Wasn't a lot to get me drunk?"

He reassured the leader. Leo sighed and sat down, asking Raphael to continue. "Well, he then asked me if we were doing anything on Halloween night. And I asked why. Apparently, a friend of his is having a Halloween party! It will be spectacular and he invited us to tag along. So I was wondering… could we?" Leo stared at his older brother, thoughts racing through his mind. What if they were caught? What if Splinter found out? What if their identities were revealed? But at the same time, he thought that Donnie could use a break and Mikey needed to have a run around. Raph could also use some fun.

"Raph, when is this?" he didn't want to tell splinter. He obeyed his master's wishes, but the party could do some good for his brothers. "Leo, it's a Halloween Party. So it's on Halloween!" he spoke with a plain sarcastic edge to his voice. Leo rolled his eyes. "I mean! How many days is it until the party bonehead? "

Raph sat there for a moment. "Think 5 days? 4 tomorrow." He half growled. Leo nodded. "Okay so you guys can go, but please be home before 11:30pm? I don't want to spend all night waiting for you guys" Leo said teasingly, but Raph's expression was confused.

"You're, you're not coming with us?" he asked as he scrambled to his feet. "Oh no Leo... No no no no no! You are coming as well. It will be great!" Leo started to laugh. "Me? At a party? Raphael, you must be loopy! Sure you haven't turned into Mikey?" he teased mercilessly. Raph just held his serious frown and Leo knew his brother wasn't joking. "Raph. I- I can't go. I don't know what to do! Or how to talk to people or how to" he broke off looking embarrassed that made his brother curious as to what he was hiding. But Raph knew better than that.

"Leo?" he asked, trying to sound gentle. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want. Just come to the party! If you don't like it, we can leave. But just give it a go! For me?"

Leo looked up, surprised that his brother didn't try to grab the truth from him, and even more surprised by the softness in his tone. "Thanks Raph. But I'm still not sure." Leo spoke uncertainly. Raph leaned in and grabbed his brother's shoulder. "If it's the alcohol, I won't drink any. Although I was planning to have a couple of litres" he joked, bringing a smile to his brother's face.

Leo sat still and in a deathly silence. After a lot of thinking, he simply nodded. "OK, I'll, I'll go. But only if you promise me one thing." Raph nodded and Leo leaned in as if he was telling a secret.

"Help me slip some alcohol into Donnie's drink ok?" he whispered. Raph's eyes widened and he burst out laughing. Leo cracked up as well. Raph just shook his head at Leo. He was happy that his brother was letting them go to the party, but he was even more happy that Leo was coming. But why? Leo wasn't anything special, just his brother and leader. Right?

Raph stopped laughing and Leo stopped and stared. "What's wrong Raph?" he asked, concern showing in those beautiful chocolate eyes. Beautiful? ARGH! Raph jumped up. "Thanks Leo, for you know, letting us go to the party and all. I'm gonna go to bed now. Night!" He spoke at a world record speed and raced to his room, slamming the door shut, leaving a stunned Leo.

What was all that about? Leo frowned at his brother's retreat and sighed. He started to chuckle when he remembered that Raph hadn't had a shower yet to get rid of the stench of milk. Leo got up and (NINJA STYLE!) leaped up to his room. he paused. And turned to his brother's door. "Raph?"

A small grunt answered him. "You need to have a shower or you'll stink for a month". He heard creaking and the click of a lock. The door swung open.

Raph was staring down at Leo while Leo looked up. They were both drowning. Raph, in chocolate and Leo drowning in gold. Leo suddenly realised he was leaning in and quickly stepped backwards to his room. Raph must have realised the same thing as he avoided Leo's gaze and walked towards the bathroom.

Leo watched him all the way. He then snapped out of hit and turned, slamming into the door. Ouch!

He grabbed his beak in pain and stumbled into his room.
