Welcome back!

Big Brother: Donnie Hamato (Raph and Mikey are here too! It's just mainly Donnie)
Little: Leo Hamato

The leader in blue is giving the attention he deserves <3

Thank you to @EmirisRose for your request and I hope you all enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leonardo Hamato was the oldest brother out of the four. As the leader and oldest brother he swears on his life to protect his brothers, his family, and his home. It was all in a days work, but.. sometimes being the oldest was very stressful.

The constant fear of failing his family, the constant arguments he has to stop, the constant missions he has to lead. It's all exhausting.

However, to deal with all of the stress, he uses a coping mechanism called "Age Regression."

Its something his friend Casey introduced him to!

"Is this something that humans do? I don't think I've ever heard of it before."

"Well, I guess so. But it's for everyone dude! I'll give you some more information on it if you want to try, Blue."

After doing it for awhile it's something that he's even gotten the courage to tell his family about! Like him they were all confused at first. But after some explaining they understood, and accepted him for it.

Life was still rough, but at least he has something that makes some of the bad days into good days!

~The Morning~

The four turtle brothers had a very long night of patrol yesterday. When they got home all of them went into their rooms and went to sleep. Well.. except Leo. He couldn't sleep! So he took that time to age regress until he slept.

But to his dismay, when he woke up this morning,
he was still in his little mindset.

"Dang it.."
He got out of bed and stretched. His body was very sore from fighting yesterday. He could smell breakfast already, something smelt like it was burning. But that was normal, maybe somebody burnt their toast on accident.

He grabbed his mask and went to put it on over his eyes, but then stopped

Leo messed with the two ends of the mask trying to remember what he had to do.
"How dwo I do this agwain..?"

"Oh! I need to mwake a knot, I 'member now. That sweems kwinda hard tho."
Leo tried to do the loop technique Donnie taught him, but the two strings would come down again.

"Mwaybe if I do a double knot?"
He went and did the loop again.. and the mask didn't fall off this time! Even though the knot looked kind of sloppy, Leo didn't mind at all. He was proud of what he did!

"Sweet! Otay, I'll eat bweakfast, cwean, and then train."

He opened the door to his room then walked out, closing the door behind him.

~TimeSkip~

"Donnie! I told you scrambled!!"
Raph semi-yelled from across the kitchen, Donnie scoffed. "That plate wasn't even supposed to be for you Raph, it was for Mikey! I'm making yours right now."

Mikey was drinking some orange juice contently while playing a game on his phone, "It's no biggie D! I'll just eat some pizza from the fridge."

"Yeah no I'm not allowing that, you need to eat more than that. And not leftover pizza either."

"WHAT? How come I can't eat pizza for breakfast?! It's bread, tomato's, cheese, and meat! All the good food groups."

Donnie noticed Leo come in the kitchen from the corner of his eye, "Thank goodness, Leo! Please tell him that he can't eat pizza for breakfast."

Leo tilted his head to the side in confusion,
"Pwizza would be good for breakfast. I wan' pwizza too!!"

"SEE! Thank you Leo!! Y'know what? I'm going to heat some up right now."
Mikey laughed getting up from his chair, Leo looked proud of his choice.

"Leo what the heck?! Wait- also, what's up with your mask? It's in knots."
Donnie went over to Leo and touched the messy ends of his mask.

"Um.. what do you mean, Dwonnie? It's the same as iwt's always been." 
Leo backed up from Donnie, he looked offended from Donnie's remark. Raph looked at the two confused, "You alright, Leo? You're acting weirder than usual."

"I no acting weird. I'm fine! See?"
Leo did a small little spin, "See? Normal Weo!"

All three of his brothers looked at him with an expression that screamed "Are you for real?"
Leo however looked convinced that he got his "case" across.

"Whatever you say, fearless."
Then they all continued to do their separate things.

"Yay! I did it! Im the best convincer ever.. now to eat, then I can do my chores."

~Timeskip~

The four turtle brothers didn't say much to each other while eating. Occasionally Mikey would show his brothers some videos he thought was funny.
Now it was time to do their daily chores.

Mikey had to clean his room, Raph had to clean the living room, Donnie had to clean the kitchen, then Leo had to clean their weapons. Oh boy..

Leo had a towel and some cleaning spray.
"..I gotta be careful. I don't wan an owie."
Leo took a deep breath and composed himself. He his katana once with the spray then went to wipe it off.

After awhile, it was shiny!

One complete, only 4 more things to clean to go!

He grabbed Raph's sai's and cleaned them one by one. It wasn't now shiny and clean! So clean that Leo could see his reflection.
It made him giggle,
"I wook siwwy."
He stuck his tongue out and it made his reflection look a bit distorted, it made him laugh!

He was making a whole bunch of faces, not paying attention to his current surroundings.

"Leo are you done with that cleaner? I need it to clean my- oh wait, what are you doing with Raph's sai's?"
Donnie looked at his eldest brother confusingly, while Leo looked over to Donnie with a goofy smile.

"D!! Wook! If you look into Waph's sai's, it makes your fwace look silly."

"What's up with his voice..? He's been acting strange all morning. Wait a minute.. does this mean he's regressed?"
Donnie had never seen him regress before. Heck, none of them had seen Leo regress before! It was hard to tell. But to be honest, Donnie had done some research on what LittleSpace was after Leo told them all that night. He found it unique and interesting. He studied the signs of regression to help his brother if he ever needed regressing time.

It was time to put that knowledge to work!!

"H-Hey Leo? Are you regressed right now bud? It's okay if you are, I just wanna make sure."
Donnie's voice was calm. Leo looked at his brother with an embarrassed look on his face..

"Nwo.. what are ou talking about? I'm fwine'."

"I know your fine, b-but I think you're little right now! You shouldn't be cleaning the weapons if you're feeling small, I don't want you to hurt yourself."
Donnie swiftly took away the weapons and put them back on their racks in record time, it made the mentally younger brother whine.

"Hey!! I was dwoing fine.."
He muttered, a small pout forming.

Donnie sighed,
"How about me and you do something else? Like.. you can help me clean in the lab! That way I can keep an eye on you, and you can still help with chores. Deal?"

"Hmm.. Dweal!!"
Leo bounced up and hugged the taller turtle, "Thwanks D!"

Donnie chuckled,
"No problem, Leo."

~TimeSkip~

"What thwis?"

"Those Are my chemicals, I use them to make mutagen so we can help April's papa. Remember? Oh! And also, be careful, those are kind of dangerous."

"Ohhh.."
Leo pointed to some of Donnie's power tools, "What dwoes that do?"

"Oh? These help me repair the Turtle Tank! I need to get some new ones.. maybe tonight after patrol."

"Patworl!? I cwan't wait!"

"Nuh-uh-uh. Not for you Leo, you're too small to go out today, we might run into some bad guys! Plus, todays would only be quick. I just need to stop at the junkyard so I can maybe get some new tools."

Leo whined, "Nwoo!! Unfair!! I wanna goooo!!"
The little turtle dragged himself onto the floor out of frustration, his face was facing the floor.

"Hey now, staying home isn't too bad!" Donnie informed whilst cleaning some of his beakers, "You can relax and have a whoooole marathon watching Space Hero's with your action figures! That sounds fun right?"

"..Ou right. But I did that bwefore!"
Leo pulled himself back up, but brought his legs close to his chest. (That type of sitting position?)

"I wan have fun with ou, 'ikey, and waph."

Donnie laid down his things for a moment then walked towards his little brother, he patted him on the head with a smile, "We can have some fun another time, I promise.. like, maybe tomorrow we can do some LARPING? How's that sound?"

Leo's ocean blue eyes sparked wide open, "Ou really wanna?! I would 'ove too!! Mikey and Waph play too?"

"Of course, all four of us little bro!"

Leo giggled and kicked his feet out of excitement,

"Haha!! Yay!! I cwant wait!!"
