There was something going on with Donnie. Raph knew it, he just couldn't prove it. After a lifetime of being a ninja he had learned to trust his intuition. It was the only thing that had saved his life and allowed him to return home in one piece on a few occasions.

Right now Raph's intuition was telling him that Don was up too something that he wasn't sharing. He wasn't quite sure what it was that Don was hiding and he didn't know if he should be offended or not that Don apparently didn't want to tell him.

Even before they became a couple Raph had been the one that Don would come and share his secrets with. Raph had always felt so special but now Don was keeping this to himself. After breakfast had finished this morning Don had placed a quick kiss on his cheek before disappearing back up to the garage saying that he still had work to do on his project.

Since then Raph had been tempted more times than he could count to get up and follow his mate. It wasn't that he didn't trust Donnie. He had just gotten so used to being Don's partner in his projects that it was driving him crazy to be left in the dark.

Right now Raph was sitting on the couch trying to distract himself with a motorcycle racing magazine. It would have worked too if Mikey and Leo weren't sitting on the other end of the couch.

Typically Raph wouldn't have considered himself a paranoid person. In this instance though, he knew without a shadow of a doubt that his oldest and youngest brothers were out to get him. Mikey must have been rubbing off on their leader because while they sat on the couch they also talked about their plans for the evening loud enough for Raph to hear every word.

Mikey wanted to have a date night out on the town with his lover and they were planning where they wanted to go. From which comic book store Mikey wanted to go to, to whether they should get pizza or Chinese, they made sure that Raph could hear every word.

Normally this wouldn't have bothered Raph but it didn't take a great leap of intuition to tell him that they were doing this just because he couldn't leave the lair until tomorrow. As much as this annoyed Raph he couldn't really blame his brothers for what they were doing. He would probably be doing the same thing if their roles were reversed.

Knowing that he would probably do the same thing didn't help all that much though. Raph refused to admit defeat however and leave the couch. He had been the first to sit down here and he wasn't about to let Leo and Mikey chase him away this easily.

The thing that was really driving Raph crazy wasn't the brothers that he was with. He had learned years ago how to tune both of them out when he really wanted to. It was Don and his mysterious project that was driving Raph nuts. The genius could be very secretive when he wanted to be and the only thing Raph could do was wait and see what would happen.
