NOT MINE!! I GOT THIS IDEA FROM CRYSTAL VIOLETA ON FFN.NET! (Find her here: www.fanfiction.net/s/9850243/5… ) The following excerpt is from her story...

Summary: (Turtle Tot, around 8 years) Leo is Splinter's slave, serving him and his own brothers. It's Christmastime, and Leo receives nothing but a small piece of bread on Christmas. Meanwhile, Raph is jealous of Mikey's present, a toy car, when all he got was a small, expensive toy train. He decides to steal it...

Fortunately for him, Michelangelo slept like a rock, so he didn't notice the intrusion. Raphael took the car and left the room. He wanted to play outside the lair, where no one could hear him and later... perhaps... destroy the toy so Mikey could not use it again. But arriving at the hall, he found Leonardo, sitting on the floor, engrossed, contemplating the lights that flashed on and off on the Christmas tree. The tree was so beautiful, that the child seemed to be mesmerized by its beauty.

"How I would like to know what it feels like to receive gifts and play like my brothers!" The child sighed, because he knew slaves couldn't have toys, couldn't even touch them. But at that time, he came up with a great idea. Leonardo looked at the bag of trash that he had just picked up and smiled.

Quickly, he emptied the bag on the floor and chose three boxes found in the best condition. Then, he ran to the sewer tunnel, took his old blanket and after briefly inspecting the drainage, picked up a stone and old brick. He went up the stairs and returned to the living room. There, he placed his blue blanket in a box and wrapped it with scraps of wrapping paper. In another box, he put the stone and in another put the brick. All was wrapped and decorated with used bows. Then, he put everything under the Christmas tree.

With a smile, Leonardo lay on the floor with his head resting on his hands, while he contemplated the Christmas presents. Of course, the paper was torn and wrinkled, and the bows were somewhat twisted and bent, but even so, they were gifts.

From the above, Raphael watched him. Raphael was confused and he was about to ask him what he was doing there, when suddenly, Leonardo stood up and without realizing he was being observed, he collected the three wrapped gift boxes and, as if he were talking to someone unseen, said in a low voice, "All this for me?" Leonardo pretended to be surprised, "Thank you so much! I had never received gifts before." The child took the boxes and hurried down the stairs.

Fearing that his brother had gone crazy, Raphael followed him silently. He went down the stairs slowly, careful no one could see him. Hidden, he watched his brother out his crutch on the ground, place the chain on his right foot and put on the padlock, as he did every night. Afterwards, he approached the wrapped boxes. He opened the first present and pulled out his old blue blanket.

"Wow! A new blanket!" The child pulled out his old blue blanket, already worn and torn from use, and wrapped himself in it, "Thank you so much, Donnie! It will serve me well for winter!"

Then, he unwrapped the second box and pulled out the stone, "A stroller!" Leonardo stroked the rock and smiled, "Thank you, Mikey! It's very nice!" Finally, he uncovered the third gift and when he pulled out the brick he embraced it with force, "It's a train! Thank you very much, Raph! I have always wanted to have a train like this!"

Leonardo put the brick on the ground and slid it across the floor while he imitated the sound of the train and the whistle of the locomotive. With his other hand, he fastened the stone sliding along the ground, as if it were a toy car, making the sounds of an auto accelerating at high speed.

From the stairs, Raphael sat watching the whole scene. Now that he thought, this was the first time in his like that he saw Leonardo so happy. He always saw him working or being punished by Splinter, but never had he seen him play before, not even once. Raphael wiped away his tears. That night, Raph swore he would never complain and would be grateful for the gifts he received.

With a lump in his throat, Raphael went back to Mikey's bedroom and returned the toy. Then, he went to his own room, flopped on the bed and started crying. He felt ashamed for envying Mikey's gifts, while his brother Leo played with stones and pretended they were real toys. It broke his heart, "This is not fair...! It is not fair!" Feeling the grief of his brother as his own, Raphael wept until he fell asleep.

The next morning, when Raphael got up, Splinter gave him the key to unleashing Leo, "Bring the slave. Tell him he has to prepare breakfast."

Raphael took the key with indignation and squeezed it firmly. He went downstairs. But there, in the dark corridor, at the end of the chain, he found his brother sleeping peacefully on the ground, wrapped in his old blue blanket and hugging a brick and a stone, which were pressed against his chest, as if they were two great treasures.

(Fanfiction, y u no let me copy-paste?? This was a pain to transcribe!!)
So yeah, I didn't put the blanket on him because I wanted the scratches and dirt and stuff to be seen, and the blanket would have covered most of them. But oh well. And omg, I really like the details on this one! I was going for a dirty, sketchy look, but I don't think it turned out as well as I thought. But the details on this thing are the best! I have some cracks in that wall, I got some shading and lighting, and I have scratches! Ahh, this was fun

Oh, and I didn't put any muscle on Leo and a lot on Raph to show the difference. I tried to make Leo thinner, actually, but he ended up chubby no matter how hard I tried... But I didn't put any muscle on him to make up for it. Splinter doesn't care about him enough to teach him ninjitsu, is my headcanon.

(Should I put a mature warning on this??)

Crystal Violeta, I hope you like!!
