The soft steps of The old Hamato Rat man goes along the stone flooring peaking into the room with family, the soft talking from the twins fell the hall in a whisper tone as the kids April snuggled against Raph, her glasses discarded on the floor, Raph the big lad himself who's has a eye patch on and laying gently on the ground half sleeping half listening as Donnie sat next to him with his shell off and a few wraps around his waist and knees that just need healing and love to recover, Leo laid in bed slightly propped up with a pillow talking on and on, a sling on his left arm and his other hand patting Casy Jr who's sleeping next to him, then of course the youngest son Mikey in his shell sleeping on top of Leo not wanting to let go and to make sure he doesn't leave.

There's something so soft and special about this scene in Yoshi's eyes, he loves his kids dearly and wishes he can be the best father to them but he just doesn't know how to, his face softened as he gave a small soft smile to the group and closed the blue curtain.

His family is safe and home…

Yoshi softly walked along the hallway towards his and Baron Draxum's shared room, he knocked on the door softly, "May I come in, Barry?" He asked in a soft tired voice. "Yes of course, Rat" Draxum said in a soft voice with soft walking up to the door, he opened the door to the short Rat.

Yoshi softly yawned putting his head on the wall beside him, "kids safe" he said in a soft tired voice, Draxum slowly picked Yoshi up with a response from him:

"Hmm good now bed, Yoshi."

"Mhm kiss first," Yoshi said tired, blinking very slowly still trying to process everything that has been happening, Draxum nodded and kissed Yoshi's forehead gently as he walked into the room, Yoshi trailed along Draxum's shoulder feeling the fabric of the gray shirt under his touch and sting of his tears falling down his furry face, "Barry, I didn't…. I didn't mean" he whispered into a cry.

"Of course you didn't, My Love," Draxum said in a whisper, stroking the Rat's back, kissing his forehead again as he sat down.

"I saw… mum," he softly weeped, as he continued, "she…. She looked proud," in a crying tone which honestly broke the old Goat's heart.

"Of course she is.." Draxum said, staring down at Yoshi in his arm, hand on grin, "look at me, my love" he said in his softest tone only Yoshi ever hears.

"You are the great Lou Jitsu, fearless ex-fighter and a beautiful father to four amazing turtles…. You…. you show so much kind and generous, and not if most of all forgiveness…. and love," Draxum said softly smiling in a soft sad way, Yoshi tries to look away from the Goat in front of him, in a blushed sad smile, wrapping his arms around Draxum's waist as Draxum continued:

"I choose you for a reason. I may have it out of purely bad selfish reasons at first…. but now I'm happy that you are… mine… My Love and I couldn't dream of doing anything like that to you….. you are a force of nature and I'm glad you're here…. And with me."

Yoshi softly leaned into his hand in soft way, cupping the side of his face as he kissed the palm of his hand in a soft way, "I am just a cowardly weak man though," he whimpered out the tears still going down his face as Draxum slowly leaned down and kissed his forehead, pressing his lips onto his forehead.

"You aren't either of those things and have never been," Draxum said softly, wrapping his arms around the Rat, rocking him from side to side in a gentle way.

"I just maybe I was distant….. I was terrified that I would have… to leave like my mother did…. I love them.. my boys so much, that if I ever had to leave like his mother, I didn't want to put them through that same traumatic heartbreak," he choked out in a fast paced way as Draxum nodded.

"Well you won't just focus on the now and slow down and breathe in and out," Draxum said calmly breathing in and out as Yoshi slowly followed.

They both slowed down and breathed in and out for a few minutes as Yoshi slowly and softly put his head on Draxum's chest, the tears dried up, Draxum in a soft tired mutter asked if he's feeling okay and all Yoshi could do was nod.

"Mmh good… I think it's bedtime, Yoshi," Draxum hummed deeply, getting into bed as Yoshi held onto him, he laid snuggled into the taller man's chest, listening to his heart, it sang like a lullaby, in a soft whisper tone he said in tired gaze, "I love you Draxum," as he slowly nodded off to sleep.
