It wasn't until almost noon that Raph and Don made their way downstairs in search of food. They had woken up a few hours ago but had decided that Don's new sheets needed christening. By the time they got to the kitchen they couldn't stop smiling, touching each other, and exchanging quick kisses.

Mikey was already in the kitchen working on making his own lunch. Neither Raph nor Don were quite sure what it was he was making but there were bowls and different food items scattered all over the counter space.

In an effort not to be in Mikey way, and to hopefully not get run over by him, Raph and Don moved over to the side to work on their lunch. Having missed breakfast earlier and gotten a little personal exercise in for the day they were both very hungry.

Hunting through the fridge they pulled out some leftovers from last night's dinner and out them into the microwave to reheat. They didn't bother putting the food into any different dishes since it was Raph's day to wash them and the fewer he had to deal with the happier he was.

While they waited for their food to heat up Don moved to sit up on the counter and Raph stepped forward to stand in between his legs. Leaning closer they let their lips meet and play along each other. Their hands dragged along any piece of skin that they could reach. The beeping of the microwave was their only signal to pull away from each other's lips.

Mikey did his best to ignore his two older brothers making out while he was trying to make his own lunch. "Didn't you get enough of each other this morning?" Mikey asked over his shoulder.

"Not nearly enough," Raph smirked as Don grabbed the food from the microwave and Raph pulled him from the room.

When they went back into the kitchen half an hour later to put their dishes in the sink Mikey had already finished and headed out. What he left behind though caused both Raph and Don to stop and stare.

There were dishes everywhere. They were in the sink, on the counter, tipped over on the table; there was even one that was on the floor, presumably for Klunk to get a taste from. Knowing that Mikey had left the mess for Raph to clean up since that was his chore this week almost had Raph seeing red.

"When I find that nutball I'm gonna kill him," Raph muttered as he set about picking up all of the dishes and moving them over to the sink.

"How about we make this easier," Don said as he turned on the water and started filling the sink. "You wash and I'll dry and put away."

That caused Raph to pause for a moment and stare at Don. "You don't have to do that Donnie," Raph told him. "You didn't make the mess and it is my turn to wash the dishes. You go do whatever and I meet up with you when I'm done."

"Or we could go with my plan and get done faster," Don insisted. "Besides, you did something nice for me yesterday with getting me those new sheets. I can do something nice for you today."

"Don, I did that because I wanted to see you happy. Not because I wanted you to think you owed me or something," Raph tried to convince him as he started scrubbing at the first dish.

Don grabbed the plate from Raph's hands once it had been rinsed off. "I'm not doing this because I owe you. I'm doing it because I want to do something nice for you too," persisted Don. "Now the faster we finish this, the faster we can go hunt down Mikey."

"Now that plan I like," smirked Raph.
