Having spent the past few nights cooped up in the lair Raph and Don were looking forward to going topside in order to run to the junkyard and go treasure hunting. Mother Nature had other plans however. It had been lightly drizzling all day which normally wouldn't have stopped them but the thunder storm that had moved across the city in the past hour would.

The door to the sewers slammed closed behind Raph as he and Don made their way back into the lair soaking wet. Having only expected the drizzle they brought no protection with them when they went topside and ended up getting caught out in the open when the skies opened up.

All they wanted at this point was to get rid of their wet gear, dry off with a towel, and maybe have something hot to drink to try and warm themselves up. Walking through a cold tunnel system while water dripped off of them was a recipe for disaster.

Leo and Mikey were in the dojo practice sparring together and hearing the sound of the slamming door made it so that neither of them intended on coming out any time soon.

After they were sufficiently dried off and their wet gear was placed with the rest of the laundry they decided to forgo the hot drink for the moment and headed into the living room. Together they sat down on the couch and stared at the blank television screen.

"This really sucks," Raph grumbled to himself.

"Well you know the saying, 'whenever one door closes another one opens'," Don said with a casual shrug of his shoulders trying to make the best of the situation.

"Yeah? Well where exactly does this new door lead too?" Raph asked as he slouched down on the couch and pouted his unwilling house arrest.

Don moved from his current seat until his was straddling Raph's lap. Slowly he leaned forward making sure to press his bodily fully against that of his mate's and forcing Raph to grab a hold of his hips to try and anchor himself. Crossing his arms on top of Raph's collarbone Don brought his mouth just an inch away from Raph's lips.

"I was thinking that the first door could lead to the bathroom," Don said giving Raph small kisses every few words. "We could take a nice, hot shower to really warm ourselves up and get all nice and clean. And then we could go through a second door into our bedroom where we can get all dirty again."

Raph moaned into Don's kissed and just pulled him even closer. "I really, really like that idea Don," Raph told him. "We just need to get off the couch first."

"That would be a good starting point," Don agreed as he deepened the kiss and rocked his lower plastron into Raph's dragging a rumbling churr out of him.

They may have made a plan to warm up but right now they seemed to be generating enough of their own heat themselves. It wasn't until Leo and Mikey ended their practice and walked back into the living room that they finally pulled away from their heated embrace.
