Leo knew that each of his brothers could be very firm and stubborn when they wanted to be but he usually gave credit of those traits to Don and Raph. Mikey certainly had the ability, he just didn’t often show it.

A snort escaped Leo’s mouth as he knelt down in the kitchen in front of the oven. Apparently today was a day that Mikey had decided to practice giving firm orders and stubbornly sticking to them even past the point that a normal person would have let something go.

Mikey was far from normal though and typically Leo wouldn’t have changed that for the world. Right now though Leo would happily trade just about anything not to have his head stuck inside the oven.

Yesterday when they had been making dinner for their double date the dessert had overflowed inside the oven. While they had been fast enough to save the blueberry cobbler they hadn’t bothered cleaning up the mess because the oven was too hot at that point and had forgotten all about it before going to bed and enjoying a very long make out session before going to bed.

Now the blueberry juice was stuck on the inside of the oven and Mikey was insisting that Leo clean it off. Mikey was helping by providing the soapy water that Leo would need but had insisted that Leo be the one to do the dirty work. After all, according to Mikey it was Leo’s fault that they had gotten distracted and forgotten about the dessert.

Leo really couldn’t argue against that logic. He was the one that had initiated the kisses that had taken their attention away from the task of cooking so it really was only fair that he be the one to have to take on the harder portion of the job.

The thing that Leo was not as thrilled about was that fact that this was the third time washing the inside of the oven. He knew that Mikey was the one most often in the kitchen and considered it to be his domain. This meant that things had to be cleaned to his standards and apparently Leo hadn’t reached those standards.

Pulling out of the oven Leo sat on the floor and threw the scrub brush from his hand into the bucket filled with soapy water. Mikey leaned over Leo to take a look before standing back and tsking at his mate.

“You still missed a spot,” Mikey said.

Leo was about to growl in frustration when he noticed the twinkling in Mikey’s eyes which showed the fun that he was having. The realization that his mate was playing a joke at his expense dawned on Leo like a thunderbolt striking down from the heavens.

Giving his own smirk in return, Leo reached into the bucket and wrapped his hand around the scrub brush that he had been using. With one quick motion Leo pulled the brush out of the bucket and flung soapy water straight at Mikey.

Mikey never had a chance to react and ended up soaking wet. He retaliated in turn by dropping to his own knees and using his cupped hands to splash water onto Leo. This led to the oven being forgotten entirely and an all out water war being carried out in the middle of the kitchen.

This war only end when the two of them were so out of breath from laughing that they couldn’t sit up anymore. Looking at each other covered in soap and dripping wet only cause them both to erupt in fits of giggling. Neither of them truly cared about the mess they would have to clean up once they had calmed down. The oven had gotten cleaned and they had fun doing it. That’s all that mattered to them.
