As the sky lightened from deep black to murky violet and became foggy with the dawn, Leo always found himself dragging. It was easy enough to put up a stern face for his brothers when they gathered for the end of their patrol, play the leader role as he finally let them end their nightly work and would head home together. However in the recent months, his work days began to crest with a different mood.
Meeting with his brothers went quick and smooth, Leo no longer always took the responsibility to report to their father once they head home. Sometimes Raph did it. Maybe Donnie. Sometimes both were in too bad of a mood, and even then Mikey was always happy to take on the job. His brothers were more than capable of taking on that to let Leo have a break.
Today Raphael seemed wired, full of energy but not too combative, Leo thought he must have had a fulfilling patrol when Raph nodded in understanding without so much as a smirk, today it was on him. Donnie was dead tired and the semi hysterical laugh from Mikey made his level of exhaustion clear.
Leo’s joints and muscles felt heavy, so he knew he was in the same boat as Mikey and Donnie and was happy to dismiss them all for the day.
Leonardo watched for a moment as his brother kept across the roofs together before dipping below his line of sight towards home, and he turned to head a few blocks to the west. No matter how hard he tried to set their meeting place close, the final journey still felt too long. Setting it much closer could be dangerous, though, the thought of The Foot finding this secret was too much for him to risk, so the ache in his body as he traveled his final rooftop trip was worth it.
Dropping down to a small balcony, just big enough for a few potted plants and two humans, Leonardo didn’t have to think as he pulled a key out of a pocket on his shorts. The window made the slightest of creaks as he opened it and slipped inside as silently as his ninja training could promise. A tabby cat slept on a cushion of the couch in the small living area he had entered, he slept on unbothered by the large turtle’s entrance. He closed the window just as silently and relooked it, moving deeper into the cozy room. Leo received a sleepy purr as he gave the cat a pet as he walked by towards the bedroom. The bed was so close and so warm, he could still smell sweet cinnamon from a candle burned the night before. When he opened the bedroom door, cinnamon combined with the smell of bundled sleep and lavender made the desire to rest hit him twofold.
Approaching you however, curled up around a pillow both embraced that want all while stirring up something hot and awake in his chest. Yet, as his knee hit the bed, his body screamed and wailed, only quieting when Leo let himself lay down. You rustled for a moment, cuddling deeper around the pillow you were spooning, as the bed shifted and your giant of a boyfriend stilled. A moment passed, you sigh in your sleep and just seeing it radiates relief through Leonardo’s limbs.
His hands find your hips as his head finally hits the pillow, and he greedily presses himself against your back and burrowed you both back under the covers. Wrapping his arms around you fully, another sigh passed your lips and Leo thought he felt you wiggle closer into his hold. Before his eyes finally closed he saw through a window that the sky was blooming to a pastel pink as the fog covered the sun. With his eyes shut, he let his body let go of the night, of his stress, his tension, his nose pressed to the back of your head and took a deep breath. In your sleep you released your pillow and held onto the green arms around tour chest and hummed. He felt his chest erupt in the same peaceful warmth your sanctuary always provided. He took another deep breath. You smelt like lavender, warmth, and an overcast morning protecting him from the sun as the world finally dropped away.
