Raph knew that of his brothers he was the one with the most anger problems. He had definitely improved with harnessing that anger over the past few years and channeling it so that he didn't take it out on his family. This didn't mean that he was perfect and never lashed out though.

Mikey was still the king at getting under Raph's skin and pushing him to his breaking point. Ever since he had walked in on Raph and Don having sex in the garage yesterday he hadn't stopped giving them grief about it. He particularly enjoyed picking on Raph.

Jokes along the lines of Raph going soft to Don wearing the pants in the relationship to trying to tie Raph's mask in a bow flew fast and furious all morning. Raph had been able to keep his temper in check all morning but he was quickly reaching his breaking point.

Messing with his mask at breakfast after practice was the last straw for Raph. The minute Mikey took hold of one of his bandana tails in his hands Raph launched himself across the table and tackled his brother to the floor.

Mikey had been expecting this reaction and managed to wiggle his way out of Raph's arms. This was no determent for the red banded turtle who got right back up and took off after him. Mikey may usually be the fastest but Raph could keep up when he was motivated and that was definitely the case now.

Don and Leo were left standing in the doorway watching their mates running around. This wasn't the first time they had ever witnessed but it did cause them a lot of grief with the things that had to be repaired and it could get old very fast.

"Leo," Don whispered to his brother. "Has Mikey ever topped you in the bedroom?"

"That's a rather personal question Don," Leo said back. "But yeah. We've switched positions in the past but most of the time Mikey is on the bottom."

Don nodded to indicate that he had heard and walked out into the living room where Mikey and Raph were running around and jumping over the couch and pool of water. Quickly he moved to stand in the center of the room where his brothers wouldn't be able to help but notice.

"So Mikey," Don said loudly in order to get his attention. "You've been going to great pains to give Raph grief about supposedly being the girl of our relationship. Well apparently the same can be said of you. You bottom to Leo most of the time. We've certainly heard you through the walls often enough to guess that. So should you start wearing skirts and bows too?"

Mikey and Raph froze where they were with Raph pinning his younger brother to the floor. A wide grin made its way onto Raph's face as he smirked down at the helpless turtle below him. Mikey gulped at having been caught in his own hypocrisy. Standing up Raph walked over to the couch leaving Mikey on the floor.

"I trust I made my point?" Don questioned as he moved to join his mate in celebrating in their small victory of silencing Mikey's taunts for the moment, knowing that it wouldn't last long.
