Everyone had fallen asleep that night spread out in the pit, including Splinter.
Mikey lay on top of the coffee table, head hanging off and drooling onto the floor.
Leo lay on the far right end of the couch, asleep with his head rested on Splinters lap.
Splinter sat, leaned back and asleep with his head resting on the back of the couch.
Raph had fallen asleep on the ground.
Donnie and Casey had fallen asleep on the far left end of the couch, leaning against each other as they lightly snored away.

The lair was quiet, a peaceful quiet. It was dim, but not dark. The T.V. had turned off automatically due to not being used in the last hour. (new addition Donnie made a while back)
There were blankets and pillows thrown about on the furniture and floor, most of which had ended up in Raph's hold. The red clad turtle had basically acquired an entire forts-worth of blankets and just as much pillows. He was buried in the soft comfort of them, snoring away without a care in the world.

The following morning, everyone had slept in. Though Leo and Splinter were the first to rise, followed by Mikey (surprisingly), and, some time later, a very grumpy Raph. The other two were still exhausted, and therefore would not be waking up for awhile. The other four threw some blankets on top of them and left to do their own things.

Sometime later, the two woke up, sitting in silence for awhile until Donnie finally stole all of the blankets, curling up with them piled around him in a cocoon-like fort.
"Heeeeyyy. . . That's meannn-" Casey whined drowsily, giving a non-hostile scowl at the spot where the terrapin was.
He just mumbled something inaudible before shifting around, reaching an arm out and yanking Casey into the cocoon-fort.
"Mmm, thank you. ." He smiled, snuggling close to the scientist.
"Mhm. . 'nything for youu-" He muttered in response, burying his face into the boy's chest.
"Awwww, that was cheesy, kinda cute though." He gave a half-hearted grin, knowing the genius wouldn't have seen.
"Mmmmshutup. ." He muttered back.

"Okay, mister cranky-"
"Shhhh. . . . Sleep-" He interrupted.
The teen just chuckled lightly and nodded, wrapping his arms around the terrapin.

"Alright lovebirds, wake up. You've been asleep all day." Raph growled, nudging the cocoon blanket pile.
"Mmmmfivemoreminutes. . ." Casey muttered.
"No. Fearless is gonna kill ya if you do. Then we ain't gonna be able to have juggalo party night." He huffed.
"Mmmmkay-" Donnie mumbled, shifting around and crawling out of the blanket fort. "Ehhhh- bright. ." He squeezed his eyes shut, rubbing them with the back of his hand like a tired child.
"Yeah, yeah. Well it is fuckin' morning already so."
"MORNING?!" Donnie yelped, suddenly wide awake.
"Yeah. Morning. You two slept all day the day after and then all night. It's mornin' now."
"Oops-"
"Eh, you get a pass I guess. Though mister blanket lord over here don't get none." He yanked the blankets off of Casey, causing the boy to fall off the couch with a grunt.
"Heeeeyyy, wait we've been asleep for an entire day?"
"And a night." Donnie added.
"Yeah, yeah." Casey rolled his eyes. "Smartass." He received a punch in the arm in response.

"Well, you two can do whatever. Imma game for a bit and then head to bed like everyone else." The red clad turtle grunted.
"Alright"
"Ehhhhh, still tired thoughhh" Casey grumbled.
"Deal with it zitface. Now move before I throw ya out." The red clad turtle scowled.
"Alright! Alright! Fine!" He stood, stretching and flopping onto Donnie's lap. "There. Moved."
"You little-"
"It's fine Raph, I got him." The scientist said, picking the boy up and standing. He then proceeded to throw him over his shoulder and walk out while holding his back so he didn't fall.
"Weee!" Casey grinned.
"You're such a child." The purple clad turtle rolled his eyes, walking into the lab.
"Thanks hun." He snickered, suddenly being dropped on the medical bed with an oof.
"Whatever." The genius walked to his work bench, sitting down and beginning to work on the retromutagen.
