The Fear Of Loving A Brother ~* COMPLETED~*

Chapter 2

     The next morning came as Leo got up from his alarm going off for 4:45 am. He got up amd put his gear on and his mask while he then walked off to the door grabbing his katana.
    He headed to the dojo as he liked it when it was silent from every one sleeping.
    As Leo got in he went to the middle of the room and sat with his legs crossed. His hands on his lap taking calm breaths.
    Leo closed his eyes and started meditating as he cleared his head to focus hard. But soon then the image of him and Raph fighting last night made Leo open his eyes.
   Leo signed and looked at the door then put a hand on his forehead. " What am I going to do with him..."
    " there is nothing you can do." Leo looked back to the door as he saw Splinter there as Leo started to stand up. " Oh good morning sensei."
    Splinter smiled at Leo and went over to him placing a hand on Leo's shoulder. " You where talking about Raphael."
   Leo nod his head as Splinter nod his head as well. " Leonardo, Rapheal has a very easy temper that gets triggered... some times I do worry about you alone with Rapheal..."
   Leo looked confused as he spoke at his father. " What do you mean sensei?"
    Splinter looked straight at Leo then spoke with a worried face. " I worry that Rapheal will hurt you my son... that he might do way more harm then he has already done..."
    Leo looked down as he never thought of that and just nod as he looked back to splinter. " I understand father..."
    But they did not know that Raph was there hiding behind the door as he heard them talk the hole time. Raph felt hurt and clinched his fists and started to the exit needing to be alow in the sewers right know to cool off his anger.
    Leo was just coming out of the dojo as he saw Raph just leave the lair. He looked at the door and thinked to himself. ' did Raph hear Splinter and I talk?'
   Leo looked back to the exit feeling that he hurt Raph. So he took a breath breath and started talking to the exit to find Raph and talk to him.
    Leo had no idea how he was going to talk to him with out anguring with him. But he wants Raph and himself to be friends and get along.
   Leo walked for a good while as minuets turned to hours that was making Leo stop walking as he looked around. " Come on Raph I know you are around here..."
   After a little Raph came down Surprising Leo as Raph landed infront of him a little close.
    Leo backed up with a gasp as he looked at Raph while he crossed his arms. " what do you want Leo?"
   " I wanted to talk about what you heard." Leo said taking one step closer to Raph.
   " no need... I cant be trusted thats what Splinter sees in me..." Raph said as he started to turn and looked hurt. But then he felt Leo grab his arm having Raph turn to Leo.
   Raph looked surprised as his eyes widened a bit as he struggled to hold back his light blush. " that's not true Raph... I trust you."
    As Leo said those words Raph could not hold it and blushed more red making Leo have that confused look. " Raph are you okay?"
   As Leo let's Raphs arm go he started to move his hand on Raphs head but Raph grabbed his writs fast and looked away fast. " I'm fine... just... just go! I want to be alone..."
   " Raph?"
   Raph said nothing as he let Leo's wrist go and runs off leaving Leo there confused. " what was that about?"
    Raph walked for a good distance as he placed A hand on his head trying to lose his red face. ' What the hell Raph! Your face would have turned like your mask if you stayed...' he yelled to himself in his mind.
    But he then went to a spot and pulled out a part of the wall that he found as he would hide one thing there.
   He grabbed a pack of cigarettes. He sat down and opened the packet showing five cigarettes and a blue lighter. Raph grabbed the cigarette and placed it between his lips then grabbed the lighter lighting the tip of his cigarette.
    Raph placed the lighter back in the pack as he placed it on the floor and breathing in on the cigarette. Once he felt he had enough he pulled the cigarette away from his lips and blew out the smoke as he looked up in the air slightly as he chuckled.
    " Haha if Leo sees me doing this... he would be laying eggs for years..." Raph then chuckled again as he brought it back to his lips and breathed in.
    Once he was done smoking he put the packet back in his hiding spot and started walking back home.
    It took him about 30 minutes when he got back. He insteantly went to the shower to get the smoke smell off as well as he brushed his teeth with the mint toothpaste.
    Once done he came out and went to his room getting in the bed as he noticed his brothers where not here. So he quickly got his clean other belt and knee, elbow pads on also his new clean mask. " Father!"
    Raph ran out to Splinters room as he came out looking at Raph. " Where is every one?"
    " they went out to potrol tonight but Leonardo wanted you to rest so he suggested you to lay down." Splinter said as he put both his hands on the top of his cane.
    So Raph just nod his head and went to his room leaving the door opened so he would hear them when they came home. But Raph hated staying home when the others are out.
    Not just because it's getting out of their home... but because Raph always worries if Leo will come home hurt in a deadly state that he could have prevented.
