Chapter Text
Leonardo Hamato the oldest of his brother, the most responsible people would say, the leader, the one that makes up the plans. No one would imagine him sitting on the bathroom floor with blood dripping down his hands staining his fingers. What did he do to deserve this fate was there even fate at all is there even hope? Even after all that master splinter has told Leo about hope. Of course this all happened because of him. Of course he had to try to sacrifice himself for his younger brothers. Of course his younger brothers are mad at him. Of course they try to talk him out of it, and they yelled at him. Leonardo wasn’t the type to let his emotions get the best of him. But today was the day he couldn’t do it. The own sword he willed by master splinter he cut his skin open with. “Drip, drip, drip,” the blood splattered on the cold bathroom floor. Red and runny. “Damn it. I’m so stupid…who would ever want trash. Why do they even bother with me.”
“Knock Knock”
“Who’s there?..”
Before the person on the other side could answer or before Leonardo could clean himself up, the door opens. Splinter walks in. Before splinter could say anything or Leo could explain, Splinter smacks the swords out Leo’s hands. Leo looks up at Splinter wide eyed and scared. Splinter looks back his breath off edge. “Leonardo,”
“Father I-I…. I’M SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE IM SO SORRY IM STUPID AND-“
Leo’s head suddenly snaps to the side his cheek burning and tears threatening to spill, as Splinter smack him.
“Take a deep breath, my son”
Splinter wraps his arms around Leonardo his eldest son. “It is okay my son I am here..” Leo grips Splinter’s clothes tightly, blood trickling down his arms and on splinter’s clothes. “Please…stay with me sensei.” “Always my son.” Splinter gently cleans up Leo. “My son what happened..” splinter says in a gentle tone. “I disappointed everyone…they all hate me.” Leo sniffles trying to wipe away the tears but getting some blood on his face. Splinter gently wipes the blood away. “They do not hate you, Leonardo. They were worried and scared of losing you just how you are to them.” “Really?..” “Yes they are.” Splinter stands up with Leo as they both walk off to the dojo to meditate.
