It was late at night and Raph was tired. The only problem was that he couldn't seem to fall asleep. Part of that he blamed on the fact that sometimes he would get cases of insomnia and could barely catch a few hours of sleep in a week. Raph thought that might be partially to blame but he wasn't going to lay the complete fault at insomnia's feet. There was also the fact that Raph had gotten used to falling asleep with Don tucked safely in his arms.

Unfortunately for Raph, Don had gotten an idea for a new invention just after dinner and hadn't left his lab since. Considering the fact that it was now nearing eleven it was safe to guess that Don would probably not be joining Raph in bed that night.

Finally getting tired of just laying in his hammock without being able to fall asleep Raph decided that maybe some exercise would be able to exhaust him enough to let him fall off into dreamland. If that didn't work he could always go and sit quietly in Don's lab. As long as he didn't distract Don too much Raph was sure that he would let him stay.

When Raph got downstairs one of the first things he looked for was the light shining from under the lab door. What he saw instead was a dark doorway and a light shining from inside the kitchen. Curious, Raph made his way inside to see who was in there at this time of night and what they were doing.

Inside Don was sitting calmly at the kitchen table eating what looked like a bowl of half melted ice cream. Looking up when he heard someone approaching Don smiled when he saw who was standing in the doorway.

"Hey Raph. What are you doing up so late?" Don asked waving his spoon in Raph's direction.

"Just couldn't sleep without you there," Raph said tiredly. "What are you doing eating ice cream right now? I thought you were working on some new invention."

Don chuckled quietly at Raph drooping eyes. "I hit a bit of a dead end on my idea," he explained taking another bite of his ice cream. "I was thirsty so I was going to get some ice water but someone turned the temperature down in the freezer. The ice was completely melted and the ice cream was following right along behind. I got the temperature back up so the meat wouldn't spoil but thought it was a waste to lose perfectly good ice cream so I decided to eat it."

"Oh," yawned Raph. "You coming to bed any time soon?"

"I thought I might," Don answered. "Just as soon as I finish this bowl. Why?"

Raph shrugged and looked away from Don as he answered. "Just can't sleep without you there. My arms feel too empty," Raph said with a blush.

Don quickly shoved the last few bites of ice cream into his mouth before putting the bowl in the sink. "I'm ready for bed now," Don announced. "So your room or mine?"
