Close Brotherly Relationship

We love you Leo

Raph carefully placed Leo's head on his lap. Donnie was checking on the wound, it was pretty bad and Mikey, he was only staring at his oldest brother, Leo had an unusual look on his face, he was in pain, excruciating pain to be exact.

"This is not good, get him to my lab now!"
"D-Donnie, please, I'm not gonna make it. Stay with us, with me, until my death, please, that is all I ask of you."

Leo said, he had his hand wrapped tightly in Donnie's arm.

"Leo..."

Donnie wanted to save his oldest brother, any way he can at least.

"Don't cry Donnie, everything's gonna be..."

Leo was cut off by a cough which made Donnie press harder on Leo's wound. Leo gasped for air as Donnie tried the best he could to stop the bleeding.

"Fearless, I..."
"Don't say anything Raph, I know what your gonna say. You care about me, don't you?"

Raph looked shocked that his only older brother knew what was on his mind.

"H-how'd you know?"
"From the look on your face."
"Leo please, your my ONLY older brother, I don't wanna lose you."
"Leo, don't give up now, it's nearly Christmas, we may not have a gift for you but please, make it through."
"I'm sorry, I won't make it until Christmas."

Mikey began trembling on his own feet, he fell on his knees, crying relentlessly.

"Don't cry little brother."

Leo rubbed Mikey's shell and began to hum a gentle and sweet Japanese lullaby, it was Mikey's favorite, it resembled that the oldest sibling will always be there and if that sibling dies, it doesn't matter, the important thing is, that he/she died with honor to his/her family, friends and nation to bring peace to the land.

"Please don't leave me oniisan."

Oniisan was "big brother" in Japanese, Leo was shocked himself, Mikey haven't called him that before, but he was glad to hear it for the first time.

"WERE SORRY ONIISAN!!!"

The three brothers said in unison.

"You have nothing to apologize for."

The three younger turtles looked at the oldest and gazed deeply in Leo's dark blue eyes, which resembled a vast ocean that lives with peace throughout it's life for all eternity until death. With a big breath, Leo breathed in then out and said his last words.

"You will forever be in my heart, I forgive you and... I will always be a part of you, always and forever, to all I say this, I LOVE YOU, I always will."

As Leo was saying his last words, all four siblings were cuddled along listening to his words and gentle breathing. It sounded so peaceful, for death. Leo was hugging his brothers, and with that, his hands fell on their bodies and his last breath left his cold body. Leo was dead.
