AU FART (out of order)

Leonardo Finds out....


In hindsight, that was the most hilarious expression Leonardo's face ever held.

And... in hindsight, doin' her in her room in broad daylight was a bad idea. But what was done was done and now Wren was seated on the edge of the bed, legs still splayed around me as she gaped at my brother. My finger was still in her and she jumped slightly as I removed it. Her shirt had been hiked up over her tits and the lace parts of the bra were pulled down, making them more pronounced than usual. Not to mention how her nips were poking out in arousal. Lace panties were around her ankle, still tickling the back of my neck.

Leo looked like he had just walked into the sewage recycling center. Eyes screwed up, face as dark as any turtle blush could be, and hands frozen. Those eyes looked from her and then to me and I remembered her juices were still on my face. I tried licking it off which only seemed to set Leo off more. A second later that 'what the fuck did I walk into' expression was gone and his eyes hardened at her shocked face. "Is he forcing you?"

...What?!

"What the fuc--"

"No!" She seemed to get out of her funk and pulled her leg off my shell, sitting up more and tugging her shirt down. "How could you think your brother was forcing me into anything?"

Leo didn't answer. He simply turned and left the room, leaving us with the door open. We both shared a look then. Wren's eyes moved away from mine first and she got up to close the door and finish dressing since the mood was shot. I stood up as well, pulling my mask back up over my face. "Fuck."

"We need to talk to him," Wren murmured softly to me, eyes to her door.

"And say what? 'Sorry we didn't tell you sooner, but we're an item'?" The look she gave me made me feel guilty and then I bulldozed that feeling with anger. "I don't need his permission for anything!"

"No, you don't, but he deserves an explanation. He's your brother, after all."

"He ain't my keeper." She shot me another look, this time softer. "Ya afraid he's gonna tell your folks?"

Bonin' the farmer's daughter jokes never had good endings.

"They already know." She was in the process of adjusting the rest of her clothes properly, looking both at me and herself in the mirror.

"They already know? And?"

"I'm my own person, Raph. They trust me to make good choices." Finally she turned to me, stalking up with that dangerous glare of hers and kissed me soundly on the mouth. "You're a good choice."

Yeah, but when was that going to suddenly become a bad one?

She didn't give me a chance to muddle it out. In fact it was a bit of a blur but the next thing I know we were both kneeling in front of my brother. Leo's gaze hadn't changed at all so trying to figure out what he was thinking wasn't going to happen any time soon. And then Wren spoke first. "I'm sorry we didn't come to you, sooner." I watched her bow low in apology from her kneeling stance, one fist pressed to her heart and the other was palm up, bearing her wrist. Weird thing to do, but whatever. Leo thought it was weird too, from the expression I saw on his face.

"My brothers and I are ninja," Leo stated flatly. He glared at me when I sighed, though. "We are a single unit."

"Yes, I understand."

"There can't be room for distractio--"

"I understand you're ninja, not priests," Wren interrupted him, looking up at Leo. Heh. That caught Leo off guard.

"Come again?"

"Not priests. You haven't taken a vow of celibecy, have you?" Her eyes shifted towards me and I held my hands up, shaking my head. Then she looked back to Leo who hadn't answered. "Well?"

"I don't see why this has anything to do--"

"Answer me directly."

Leonardo glowered, focusing on a point just in front of Wren instead of her face. "No." Oh, it was so hard not to grin right then and there!

"I'm not following you," she admitted then. Her words were soft, almost a whisper even to me. "So what is the harm in having a moment of peace and happiness? To know that there's love out there?"

That's when Leo looked up at her. "Because then one of us will know what we'll never, ever have."

He's right. I already know how good I have this and it's not permanent. I knew that going into it and so did she. He didn't need to remind us of that. And more importantly, he didn't need to remind me of that. Wren was quiet then. She didn't look like she knew how to answer him. "So? Are ya jealous it ain't you figurin' it out?"

"No." That level-headed, serene calm was back again. "All I feel is pity."

She was up before I could reply to that callus remark and Iwas just as shocked as Leo when she connected with a slap to my leader's cheek. "You apologize to your brother!" Wren, for as small and unassuming as she was, knowing full well she wasn't trained in any sort of combat was one scary girl when she was lit up in fury. "How dare you think he would force himself upon me or anyone else! It's not my fault that you're scared. But don't you belittle what Raph has. Don't you dare think of this as a weakness! Love does not make one weak. Being afraid of it makes you weak."

I was still in shock that she had the brass to even get up and yell at Leo, much less slap him full in the face! The next thing I noticed was that she was stalking away from the both of us, back straight, shoulder's squared, bristling like an agitated cat. "That's my birdy." Yeah, I pretty much figured I said that aloud when Leo looked back to me.

"She loves you that much."

The smirk on my face said it all. "Yeah, she does."

"I don't want to see you get hurt, Raph."

"I'm already gonna get hurt when we go home, Leo. It ain't her fault or mine it's gonna happen." Leo backed down a bit when he saw I wasn't going to. "I ain't lettin' her go." He dropped his head in defeat. I made certain I didn't see that smirk I knew he had on his face, either.

Leonardo stood up and rested his hand on my shoulder. "I'm happy for you, bro." He said it quietly, almost too quiet. "Just...make certain you air out the room after, okay?" His hand slipped away and I was left there on my knees, grinning like a fool. Leo wasn't crazy about the notion, but he wasn't going to stop it, either. Like he ever had the power to stop it in the first place. And I knew that now Leo was aware of this, my other bros would be, too.

She didn't come back until past dinner time. Her parents didn't seem too worried about it and neither did her aunt and uncle. No, it wasn't a common occurrence so maybe she called to let them know she was still cooling off? I don't know. She returned after the sun had gone down, her fight gone, her body tired. We were all watching something on the TV when she came in and it was a few minutes more before she came into the room we were in. Wren must have grabbed some left overs because when she came in and flopped down next to me, her breath smelled like dinner. There was something really solid and comforting with the way she curled up, leaned against my arm and side and snuggled in. Both D and Mikey turned and gaped at us, their jaws dropping more when I wound my arm around her shoulders to tug her in tighter.

"You're missing the action parts," Leo reminded them, not even bothering to look in our direction.

"Leo?" Wren practically peeked over my shell to look at my bro, her eyes wide.

"Yeah, I know. I was a jerk. I'm sorry." He connected with her, giving a small smile. His hand moved over to my shoulder and squeezed lightly. "I'll work on being less of a jerk."

I swear our little brothers were going to need straws to be fed from now on.
