![]() “Mm-hmm, yes, I thought you might say that, and I am, of course, prepared to offer more evidence.”ĭonnie taps out of the photo gallery and brings up Mikey’s messaging app. The five of us do cheek- and forehead-kisses on occasion, too.” ![]() “Maybe they’re only super affectionate friends. ![]() “This doesn’t prove they’re dating,” he points out, mostly just to play devil’s advocate. Not when he has three older brothers and an older sister who have been waiting their entire lives for this moment. Of course, if Mikey thinks he can have a whole-ass secret boyfriend and get away with it, he’s got another thing coming. The other one is distinctly human, almost lost in a haphazard cloud of yellow curls and turned sideways to plant a kiss on Mikey’s spotted cheek. One face belongs to Leo’s little brother, caught mid-laugh. It’s a selfie taken at arm’s length of two faces squished together to fit the frame. He brings up Mikey’s camera roll, scrolling through dozens of post-invasion celebratory selfies and candids, past a few scattered pics of Mikey’s own cooking and digital art (and Leo makes a mental note to revisit that, because there aren’t as many of those as there ought to be) and finally making an “ah-HAH” sound under his breath, tapping on a particular picture to blow it up.

Leo sits up so fast he feels it in his entire body, an ache radiating down his spine like it’s a gong that just got rung. Sure, Raph had been camped beside his bed up until like ten minutes ago, but a lot can happen in ten minutes.Īs if to prove it, Don shoves a phone into Leo’s face. “Congratulations, my name just sounds like noise to me now,” Leo replies drolly, as if he’s not ecstatic to have company.
