It would have been so easy to write it off as another "Raph" thing. To just ignore the fact that he had hidden away in his room yet again. But something made Leo look closer this time. 

Gently he opened the door to a darkened room looking at the slumped figure on the bed. No antagonistic words, no angry shouting telling him to get out. The fiery life that always seemed to surround the hothead, diminished.

Slowly Leo walked closer, as if navigating a minefield. When he sat beside the red-masked ninja he remained silent. Waiting. Finally daring to look, Leo watched as Raph's eyes grew glassy, leaking tears down his face. Carefully he brought his arms around Raph, like he was made of glass. 

He didn't know what the problem was, or even if he could fix it. Instead he just held his brother, pulling him tighter when shaking emerald arms wrapped around him. 
I've been in a mood lately that I really am not liking. I'm with Raph and could use a hug
