Leo was in the dojo going through the katas that Master Splinter had taught them that morning. He knew that he had done just fine with them during practice but there was something very soothing about going through those motions and feeling the power that his body held.

It was also nice that his brothers had gone about their own business which left the lair blissfully quiet for him to work in. This made concentrating on the katas so much easier. No sooner had Leo thought that then the sound of Raph screaming out Mikey’s name rang throughout the lair.

Leo had just lowered his swords when the doors to the dojo went flying open. Mikey raced into the room and dove behind him just as an enraged, orange paint covered Raph came charging in straight at them.

“Protect me Leo,” Mikey yelled as he ducked his head behind Leo’s shell hoping Raph somehow might not notice him.

Leo didn’t respond at first to Mikey plea. Instead he stared at Raph standing in front of him covered from head to toe in bright orange paint which had begun to drip onto the dojo floor.

“Move out of the way Leo,” Raph panted in anger. “There’s no way that you can say he ain’t at fault for this.”

Leo held up a hand to stop Raph and glanced over his shoulder at the brother hiding behind him.

“Would you care to explain yourself Michelangelo?” Leo asked mildly.

Mikey cringed at the use of his full name. "Um. I thought that Raph could use a color change," Mikey said with what he hoped was a winning grin.

Leo just shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Raph go take a shower before the paint dries and becomes too hard to get off," Leo told him. Before Raph could protest Leo turned to Mikey. "And you will go clean up the mess upstairs and everywhere that Raph dripped on as he chased after you."

Raph turned and stomped out of the dojo. When he saw that Raph had left the room Mikey came out from behind Leo and smiled up at him.

“That was a lot of fun,” Mikey said happily. “Thank you for protecting me Leo.”

“You are welcome Mikey but you do realize that I was serious when I said that you are going to clean up this mess,” Leo said seriously.

“What?” Mikey asked, his face falling at Leo’s assertion.

Leo nodded firmly. “I will always protect you when you need it but that doesn’t mean that you can get away with causing chaos without having to pay the price for it. The price for your prank on Raph is having to clean up after it.”

“Awww man,” Mikey whined.

Dejectedly Mikey walked out of the dojo dragging his feet as he went. Leo just chuckled and shook his head as he watched his new mate sulk. Sheathing his swords, Leo followed Mikey. Protecting his mate didn’t just mean from physical threats such as an angered Raph but also from having to face hardships by himself. Even if that hardship was just cleaning up wet paint.

You just had to jinx yourself, didn't you Leo?
