<div class="floatleft">(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/350/3/b/leo_by_jennyverse-d8a4zeh.jpg)</div>The events of the previous day had been both exciting and somewhat exhausting. After Leonardo and Splinter's surprisingly sexual training session, it had only felt natural for the young turtle to want to enjoy the newfound sense of intimacy between himself and his mother for some time longer. But after he had accompanied Splinter to her private quarters to cuddle with her, it hadn't taken him long to lose track of time. After some more light petting and kissing, Leo had eventually drifted off to sleep snuggled against his mother's soft and fuzzy form. It had been several years since he'd last slept nuzzled in her arms, but it was just as soothing and relaxing as he remembered. Perhaps even more so now, with the knowledge of what they had done in the Dojo together.<br/><br/>In the morning Leo eventually began to stir, slowly opening his eyes to gaze at Splinter's sleeping form. She looked so beautiful in rest that it brought a smile to his face, and he nuzzled against her closer for a time. He was feeling very comfortable, and didn't want to get up. But as he glanced at a clock that Splinter kept in her room, he suppressed the desire to groan out loud. They had overslept! The others had to be awake by now. Were they wondering where Leo and Splinter were? Leonardo had always prided himself on being an early riser, so would they be suspicious of his absence? He began trying to slowly untangle himself rom Splinter, not wanting to disturb her from her rest. He had a feeling that she needed the sleep as much as he had. As he separated from her though, he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "Sleep well, Sensei."<br/><br/>Once he had gotten his shell back on and tied on his blue mask, he silently crept out of Splinter's room, using everything she had taught him to try and leave without making a sound. He yawned softly as he walked through the lair, able to hear the sounds of activity in what would have passed for the family's living room. The others were likely watching TV. He started in that direction, trying to think of an credible excuse if any of his siblings asked where he had been this morning. Maybe they'd believe him if he said he'd been out on an early morning run through the city?<br/><br/>"Watching Terminator 3 again, Raph? I don't know why you like that one so much. The first two are much better." Even from the hallway, the sounds of Arnold's acting couldn't be mistaken. Leonardo stepped out into the living room of their lair, completely unaware that he was about to step into Mikey's latest 'Pranksgiving' celebration. "Mikey, I want to talk to you about what happened the other day..."
