《Continuation for @tmnt-requests from here》
《♔》⇀ Normally, he’d reprimand Mikey for using such language. If Sensei heard, it’d be an hour in the Hashi. But...Master Splinter isn’t here. So he bites back the admonish and rubs his brother’s shell comfortingly. The last thing he needs right now is to be scolded. And seeing him so distraught brings out such a protective instinct that it’s nearly overwhelming.
He can feel the wetness of Mikey’s tears dripping down his plastron, and the fact that he’s crying so much makes him want to murder whoever hurt his baby brother in cold blood. He shoves the intense feeling down though and focuses on making Mikey feel better. For now, at least.
❝Shhh...❞ Leo whispers against Mikey’s head, where he’s placed his lips. ❝It’s okay. I’ve got you little brother. Just speak when you’re ready, okay?❞
