Summary
Inspired by angelmichelangelo's "chocolate cake."
On Leonardo's eighth birthday, all he wanted to do was buy himself a birthday present. So, while his mom has friends over and Michelangelo is asleep, he heads to what used to be a toy store. Instead of a toy as a birthday present, he found himself something sweeter.

Summary
prompt: murakami
“It’s very nice to meet you both,” Murakami says. There’s an itch, deep under his skin that he wants to scratch; to reach under and discover more about these two, scrawny, messy children that appear at his shop with hungry bellies and owlish eyes.
“Do…” He hesitates, before taking a breath and trying again. “Do your parents know you are here?” He then asks them.
Leonardo’s expression faults for a moment, stilling and stalling before he gives him an answer.
“Uh… no.” His voice suddenly timid and small, like the first occasion he’d wandered into his shop and stood on his tippy toes to greet him. “Our mom, she, uh—”
“Sleeps a lot!” Michelangelo chimes in, voice cheery and bright — a stark contrast to the dark cloud that was apparently now looming over his brother's demeanour at the mention of such parent.
Murakami feels his heart twist in his chest. From the dirtied clothes and the gaunt, haunted looks deep behind their eyes and the way there seemed to always be a shadow hanging above them, it was clear that whatever home these boys came from, wasn’t a particularly loving one.
What kind of child spends their birthdays alone?

Summary
He’s hanging upside down in the middle of the great underdark, weighed down by a half hysterical turtle in the middle of a bunch of pipes and water and rock that are conspiring to kill us both off, and Leo still manages to sound like he Has A Plan.

Summary
Now that they've set up some boundaries, Leo has been keen to explore the inside of Yuichi's clothes, and Yuichi is happy to let him kiss and grope and snuggle all he wants. At least until Leo falls sideways into an Accidental Nap. Yuichi knows he can't help that right now. His biological rhythm is still set on doze even after the "Big Sleep" - his brothers are still occasionally nodding off all over the place, too. Yuichi has found them all crowded together in their rooms or in front of the projector; swaddled in comfy clothes and blankets, tucked into various pillow piles, in front of or on top of every surface that generates any amount of heat.
It's actually pretty funny now that Yuichi actually knows what's going on.
And Leo falling asleep during make-outs, even a week later, is objectively Hilarious.
--chapter 12; revenge is so, so sweet//Leo and Yuichi deal with their own (and each other's) bullshit - I mean baggage. Or: Emotions Are Messy and Keeping Secrets is Hard and They Are Both Dumb Teens, the Fanfic.
