Raph was tired. He staggered on the stairs because he momentarily fell asleep and woke up when his subconscious seized reign of his body and steered him clear off the fall.
He worked out extra today, not willing to relinquish his usual lifestyle. Now he hardly had any energy left.
Yet, when he made it to his room and leaned heavily against the closed door, sighing, something felt off and he snapped open his eyes:"...da hell?!"

There in his hammock, swinging slightly, was Leo, covered by his, Raphael's, blanket so, that only the blue bandana tails sticking out identified the intruder.

Leo stirred to the sound and looked out of his improvised nest. "Hey" he said and graciously jumped out of the hammock, landing silently on his hurt foot.

Raph's breath caught in his throat. He never managed to jump out of the hammock in one motion and not make a single sound at that. And he's been doing it daily for years!
He always admired Leo's unmatched fluidity.

Leo took a couple of steps toward him.
Raph shook the untimely feeling off and straightened up, raising a brow, his expression alert.
"I missed you" Leo said in a way of explanation and came to stand just two steps away from his brother. "Haven't seen you for ... days. Missed your scent" - he stepped forward - "... your voice..."
Raph tore his gaze from Leo with visible difficulty and looked past him "Not allowed to talk to ya" - he murmured.
"Then don't"

Leo stepped deep into his personal space and laid his head upon Raph's shoulder. After a moment's hesitation, Raph's  arms came up to hug him lightly.
Leo nuzzled his neck and whispered: "Can you forgive me?"
His brother nodded slowly and tightened his arm around him.
"Are you forgiving me?" When no answer came, Leo freed himself from the embrace and pushed Raph in the chest, taking him by surprise.

Raph hit the door shell first, but before he could bounce back, Leo's hands pinned his shoulders to the door.
Brown eyes met amber ones. Very tired and irritated amber ones.Raph frowned at him defiantly.
"ARE you forgiving me?" Leo pressed.

Raph held his gaze for some seconds, then turned away.  Leo's hand cupped his cheek and forced him to turn back to face his leader.
"Oh... to hell with it!" the trapped turtle growled."Ya gonna force it outta me?!"
"Force it? No" Leo's hand slid down, caressing the scutes of emerald turtle's plastron, then  he leaned back into the embrace, letting his hands explore the body they got to know so well. Raph tensed, but didn't stop him. "I'm going to sex it out of you" Leo whispered into his ear slit.

Raph drew air noisily. Leo's touches were effectively stealing away his resolve. Yet he couldn't bring himself to push his mate away.

"Why are ya even apologizing?" He asked above the blue banded head "Imma one that needs ta apologize here. Can ya forgive me?"
Leo stopped and look up at him. Then he surged up and sealed Raph's lips with a kiss, half-licking half-biting at his mouth until the hothead kissed him back.
"There. Forgiven" - Leo said, withdrawing back.
That appeared to be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Raph spun them around to switch positions with his usually submissive brother, but Leo was also trying to move them elsewhere and since both refused to unlock the embrace as a result they toppled over and landed on the floor, the bigger turtle hitting the concrete shell first and Leo collapsing on top of him. The upper tutrtle didn't waste time and straddled his sprawled brother.

"Got you!"
"Really? I'm not so sure who's got who here" - Raph responded, rubbing at Leo's noticeable bulge with his fingertips. His Leader smiling at him was real eye candy. He couldn't help grinning too, as leaf-green cock peaked out of the slit responding to the caress.
The blue-banded turtle rocked his hips, rubbing his butt at Raph's plastron then arched back to stroke the inside of those emerald thighs, giving Raph full access to fondle him as he may please.

Raph's dick was still confined within his body and it was beginning to be painful. He ran his hands up Leo's thighs, cupped his buttocks under the carapace and pulled him forward. As Leo obediently shifted up and forward, Raph couldn't suppress a relieved moan as he dropped down.

Leo smiled at him and ghosted his hand up and down the hardening member. Raph mimicked his actions on Leo's dick. One hand pumping his brother's erection, the other stroked Leo's thighs and abdomen in intricate patterns.  Then Raph pulled him further up an rocked on his shell to lick the tip. Leo lost it. He arched back, closing his eyes and  churring loudly, as his hips involuntarily thrust forward  to keep the warm wetness where he needed it most.

Raph's fingers closed around the base of his shaft: "Patience, Fearless. Isn't that one of the highest virtues?".

Surprised, Leo opened one eye to look down at his brother: "You sure are getting a lot out of these extra trainings". Raph smirked and pinched Leo's tail lightly.  He resumed pumping and stroke the tail in time. Leo let out a moan.

When Raph's finger poked at the other's hole only to find it sleek and pre-stretched, Raph stopped his actions and frowned up to his brother accusingly: " You've planned this".

Leo tipped his head to the side, looking down with a spark of humor in his dark eyes: "Did you honestly think I had no plan?"

Raph thought it over. "What's your plan B?" he asked. Leo squirmed a little to hint that he wouldn't mind if Raph would resume his ministrations, but the dark hands remained perfectly still. "To let you sulk until you're clear with the punishment".

Raph rose a brow "Couldn't wait this long, heh?". Leo looked a little irritated when he answered: "Yes. For the one forbidden to talk you talk too much"

Raph chuckled and caught the tails of his bandana, pulling Leo down to him and reached up to kiss him. Everything was in this kiss, all the relief and hunger he was feeling at the moment, all the hurt and all the sorry. Halfway through the kiss, Raph lined up and slowly pushed his cock into Leo, causing him to moan into his mouth.

Breaking the kiss, Leo straightened up and slowly impaled himself fully onto the hothead's cock. Raph dug his heels into the floor and started rocking on his carapace, the inertia causing Leo to slide up on the way forth and the gravity causing to down on the way back, Raph's hand on his cock matching this lazy rhythm.  For a while this slow rocking motion provided enough friction to savor the feeling of being connected, but as the time passed that movement wasn't enough anymore.

Once again using bandana tails, Raph wrapped them around his left wrist and pulled left.  They rolled to the side without even losing the contact. Grabbing Leo's legs under the knees, Raph hovered over him forcing his legs up and aside so that his blue-banded brother nearly doubled over.  Leo churred softly and reached to stroke himself, but Raph started pounding him at increasing pace and he barely touched himself before reaching his climax. "Don't. Ya. Ever. Do. This. Again!" Raph forced through his ragged breath, his thighs smacking hard against leaf-green butt.
"No..ted.." - Leo managed.

***
When the stormed had passed and Raph slid off Leo to lay beside him on the cool floor, neither of them said anything for a while. They were catching their breath and for once content just to lie side by side doing nothing. If Raph was tired when he entered the door, now he was positively floored. His eyes kept drifting shut, and he could barely feel his body, drifting on a soft cloud of concrete.

"That is why we never do it in your room" - finally said Leo, startling him. Raph waited out a little, but Leo seemed to think he said enough. Raph nudged him with an elbow. "and why's that?"
"You have no bed. And you're hammock is too small for two» Leo said.
"Yeah" - Raph responded, closing his eyes again.
"I still don't know why ya did it. But next time ya wanna have make-up sex, just say so"
Leo braced himself on the elbow and looked at his face : "I'll tell you soon enough. Raph.. you always trust me with your life when we're in a fight. You could jump into any crazy stuff if I tell you to without a question. You did, too. Trust me on this one, okay?"

"This ain't a fight"

"I know. And I was wrong to take your trust for granted. And I'm sorry for that."

Raph rolled his eyes:" Blah-blah. Cut it. It's getting sappy. I hate sappy".

"Allright. I want to see you climb into your hammock before I leave. You look like you're passing out and if I go now you'll probably sleep on the floor." Leo got up and offered Raph a hand. The later decided not to argue with this sudden over-fussiness. He was about to pass out indeed.

Leo pulled him up and saw him to his hammock.
"Are ya aware that it's the first time ya ever apologized to me?" Raph asked, settling down.
Leo frowned: "That doesn't seem right. Maybe you just don't remember?"
"Yeah. I don't remember cause it never happened."

Leo covered him with a blanket and lean down to press his beak to Raph's. "Good night"
Raph grunted an indistinct response but when Leo was already starting to leave, the emerald hand shot out to grab his wrist. "I love ya, big bro".
Leo turned back and once again pressed his beak to Raph's. "You do know how I feel, right?" he whispered."Yeah".

Leo turned to leave but Raph's voice stopped him once again: "Leo?"
"Will you please sleep already?" – Leo said without turning.
"You have to promise me one thing first." Leo turned to him, tensing. He just hoped Raph wouldn't ask anything he wasn't ready to promise him… like, being exclusive. "I'm listening"
"Promise you'll smack me one if I get too sappy?"
Leo smiled his relief: "I solemnly swear I will stop you before you cross the borders of Sappyland"
"Good" Raph mumbled out, eyes shut and on the verge of sleeping.

Leo stood there unmoving for a couple of minutes watching his mate fall asleep, his ghostly smile never leaving his face.  Finally he put out the light and silently left Raphael's room.

On the way to showers the smile slowly turned into concerned purse of his lips. Raph loved him. He had to tread carefully now.
