Note

I've been rereading the love potion series and it got me wondering, how would the other turtles (since you did Mikey's reaction already) would be to a y/n under the potion's spell?

Would y/n be clingy and lovey-dovey? Or flirty and just a big tease? Or maybe even shy and just wants cuddles/physical affection?

I'm really curious ^^' sorry for the ramble

Love Potion: Roles Reversed

author’s note: it’s finally happening :D, I’ve gotten so many requests for y/n’s time to shine under love potion with dee, lee, & raph so here we go, I hope you all enjoy

warnings: cursing, established relationships, kissing, fluff, unedited

> mikey’s y/n under love potion influence <

—————————————————————————

Raphael

So clearly, he had left the glass on the counter unattended because he was whisked away by his brothers getting into a spat, BUT in his defense he clearly labeled the drink as his and for no one to touch, much less drink.

Yet when Raph came back into the kitchen the drink aka love potion was empty. Now why was he in possession of such a thing? Weird shit happens! And even weirder shit has so let’s leave it at that! It totally wasn’t because he was supposed to be the responsible turtle and Señor Huseo asked him to keep it safe for a day.

Raph looked into the empty glass with a shrinking stomach. He had one job! Leo would say his ‘chasm’ was getting bigger. “Shit!” He groaned, who could have possibly— the first suspect was obviously LEO! But he had just been with him, breaking up a stupid argument with Donnie… so was it Mikey??

Raph would’ve exited the kitchen in search for the youngest turtle if he hadn’t heard a hiccuped giggle. His brow bones came together in confusion as he rounded the island counter and crossed his arms at the sight of you, slouched on the ground, a giggling mess, “Y/n!!” He exasperated and watched as you lulled your head to the sound of his voice

Your eyes crinkled at the sight, “Raphieeeeee” you squealed, making grabby hands at your boyfriend. “I don’t even have to ask, but just to be certain, did you drink from the glass that was clearly labeled to ‘not’ drink?” You nodded quickly, still smiling up at him as he sighed. “Wanna tell me why???” he asked. You weren’t a rule breaker!

“The label was on the back of the glass! I didn’t see before it was too late,” you pouted. Your hands falling to your sides as you realized he wasn’t picking you up. The excuse sounded plausible, but Raph had been pretty darn sure he had the glass facing the right way. Another sigh left his lips.

“What am I gonna do with you?” His smiled despite himself, placing a hand atop your head and ruffling your hair. “Raphhhhh!” You whined, not wanting him to mess up your hair even though you liked his touch. Like really really liked his touch. More so than usually and your hands grabbed onto his wrist tugging down his hand for you to nuzzle your cheek into his open palm.

He coughed, his other hand covering his mouth as he blushed furiously, watching you nuzzle cutely into his hand. “Y/n! Stop that, you’re under a love potion, that wasn’t just some cool looking soda,” Raph explained. You wanted to be surprised but it made sense, and if the world was crazy enough to have yokai and mutants, love potions weren’t that wild.

“C’mere, let’s get you off the ground and home, I’m sure it’ll wear off in a bit.” Raph was hopeful that it would…

“No!! I’m not going anywhere. Especially not home!” You said, holding onto his hand even tighter and giving him big sad eyes that rivaled Mikey’s puppy dog ones. “Okay okay, but you ain’t staying on the floor!” He appeased you, then promptly picked you up like you were nothing but a leaf.

He carried you with care of course, Raph was a gentle-turtle. Now you were just snuggling into his plastron and he had to hold in satisfied churrs. “Raphie-pie, can I just stay in your arms forever?” He shook his head, that was the first time he’d ever heard such a nickname! “I doubt I’m that comfortable,” he joked and you went on to say his arms were the comfiest place ever!

Raph was in for a week of snuggles, cuddles, and embarrassing nicknames!

Leonardo

“What’s that?” You asked as you watched Leo pour a pink fizzy liquid into your designated cup. He jumped at the sound of your voice almost spilling the drink. “ACK! Y/n! Give a turtle a warning huh?!” You smirked at his dramatics, “Thought you were a ninja?” You teased and he fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

“The best ninja, actually, and I was concentrating!” He clarified. Then presented you the drink. “This my dear Y/n, is a love potion. And before you say ‘LeO tHaT isN’t rEaL’ it was brewed, before my eyes, by a witch!” You eyed the drink carefully, not taking it from him. “Ohoho! So you believe me!!?” Leo’s smirk grew bigger.

“Well.. I know New York is full of crazy, but it does sound like bullshit. Something out of a movie..” you took the cup. Giving it a closer analysis and even going as far to sniff, trying to see if it was just strawberry fanta. “Today, we make history! Y/n finally believes whatever I say ahahahaha!” Leo joked, bumping into your shoulder with his and making the drink slosh around.

“So.. you gonna drink it??” He said, giving you eyes that said ‘if you don’t I’ll make fun of you forever.’ You narrowed your eyes, “this isn’t really a love potion is it?” You wanted confirmation but Leo shrugged, watching you carefully with a crafty smirk. You scowled and went to put the cup on the counter, you weren’t stupid and whatever was in the drink was something that would entertain the hell out of your boyfriend.

“Chicken!” He squawked immediately and you whipped your head around glaring at him. “You spit in this?” His mouth dropped, “What?! No that’s gross!” He said defensively. “Is a bug in here?? Or some other embarrassing thing?” You gave him a pointed look and his sighed loudly.

“I’d never do that to you. To my brothers, yes. But to you? Ne-ver! Pinky swear~” he held out his third finger. “So you want me to drink a love potion?” You said as you rolled your eyes and hooked your pinky around his green appendage. “Yes! C’mon it’ll be fun!! Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, d—“

“OKAY!” You yelled, effectively shutting him up and he bounced up and down excitedly, letting go of your pinky. You gave the drink another wary glance and decided it was most likely not real… and drank a sip. He booed and you groaned as you downed the whole thing in one go. He whooped and cheered happily, giving you a bright smile and leaned in super close.

“How do you feel?” He said making sure to maintain eye contact with you. You smacked your lips at the taste, it wasn’t half bad, and when your eyes snagged onto his it was like time stopped. Leo was your boyfriend, of course you loved him. But this feeling, it was like everything had multiplied by a thousand, no a million! You blinked as a furious blush overtook your face, it was hot! And Leo was so close and all you wanted to do was plant your lips on top of his!

You backed up, staggering and shaky. “I don’t know!” You managed and he followed you, not giving you room. “Did it work??” He said giving you a curious look. “Outta the way!!” Mikey bellowed as he hauled shell into the kitchen, he was hungry and wanted to fix his lair famous pizza. Yes he sometimes made pizza when the pizza funds were running dry! When your eyes left Leo’s to look at Mikey, the blue clad turtle quickly grabbed your face.

“No no no, you gotta look at me!” He declared and stared even harder into your eyes. Mikey paused, giving the two of you a weird glance as he shuffled around the kitchen for pizza supplies. “Uh, what’re you two doing??” He asked but he wasn’t overly curious, his mind was still just on food. “Couple stuff, mind your business! And don’t look Y/n in the eyes!! It’ll ruin all my hard work!” Leo said but made no move to look elsewhere.

“Let go!” You squeaked, your face felt too hot, like you might pass out! You were sure you looked like a tomato but Leo wasn’t the type to give in. “Maybe it just takes awhile..” he guessed, still staring, and his hands were starting to brush your cheeks, he could feel how hot your skin was. Luckily his hands were cool to the touch. “Leo it worked okay let me go!” And that was all he needed to hear, “I knew it!! So you do feel something??? Do you love me ten times more than usual??”

He was grinning like a loon, and tugging you out of the kitchen. This touch was more acceptable and you squeezed his hand, unknowingly nodding your head to all his questions. You couldn’t really focus, all you knew was that his touch felt nice. And you didn’t really want him to let go, at least not from your hand.

Leo was in store for lots of handholding, (which usually you weren’t a touchy person) and you showered him in compliments, very much a words of affirmation type. You didn’t really want to leave his side, but if you did go topside it was because you wanted to see his face light up from a gift you had picked out especially for him.

Donatello

You knew the risks of trying your own love potion. You were a witch after all. But you had expected to be alone and wanted to see if the effects wouldn’t well affect if you didn’t make eye contact for a day!

You had movies in store, a whole day to just veg out! But after a couple of movies, you maybe sort of forgot about the no eye contact when your boyfriend Donatello opened up your window with ease. You usually left it unlocked for him, and he knew that so came and went as he pleased.

“Y/n! You’ll never believe what I just invented, it shall change this humble town- no! The world!!” He cackled like the mad scientist he was. You smiled, happy to see your purple turtle and gave him your full attention. But as soon as you met his excited gaze, your eyes widened with realization as you felt the side effects take place.

“Oh sweet Merlin!” You groaned and after you blinked you were up, moving your limbs, well struggling to move away from Donnie. “What? Where are you going?!” He hollered after you as he followed you throughout your apartment. “Dee, you may want to go,” you said through gritted teeth. You did not want him to go, not at all, and it took you biting down on your tongue for you to not take back your words.

You calculated that only a few hours had gone by since you had drank the potion, and it work so well that it felt like you had only took a sip just a few seconds ago. You wrote that down in your little notebook that had been left on the kitchen counter. Meanwhile Donnie was overthinking. You wanted him to leave? But why? Had he done something? He was looking at you with a dejected expression. Maybe you weren’t interested in his inventions anymore… maybe you weren’t into him anymore.

The look on his face had you breaking. “I’m sorry, really Dee I took a love potion for research reasons and I’m feeling the affects right now, I wanna jump on top of you but I know you won’t like that so I—“ Your explanation had him breathing out in relief.

“Well, I don’t know if I can handle you climbing all over me, but I can hold your hand,” he offered and you were at his side in two seconds flat. Holding his hand and breathing out your own sigh of relief. He pulled you to your couch in the living room, “Now as I was saying!” He cleared his throat on of his robot arms bringing out his invention while another setup a projector.

He had a whole PowerPoint ready, because unlike most others, you wanted to know about his work in depth and he loved being able to go all out to explain! You were all “whoa!” “so cool” “but what about this?” “oooh how about adding this!” Throwing in a few, suggestions about how you could do this or that with your magic.

You weren’t letting go of his hand anytime soon. Donnie was in for a week of more touch than usual, definitely more quality time together, and you wanting to give him all the magical charms you could conjure. “But Donnie, my love, this one is for protection! And this one is for strength, and this one is like a stress reliever,” the list went on and on and usually he could decline such magical offerings but you were quick to tears under the love potion influence so he reluctantly accepted your gifts even if they were magical. Even if he had tech protection that also helped with strength and had other ways that his tech could surely help with relieving stress.

"Hello author! I've read some of your other works and I thought they were great, so I have a request for you.

Would you be willing to write a Rise Raph x reader where they're having a sleepover? Raph is nervous about wearing his retainer around them but doesn't realize that the reader also has a retainer until they put theirs on, fluff ensues.❤️🙏🙏🙏"

Sure thing! Thanks for the request :)

*****************************************************************

♡Self conscious sleepover♡

~During a sleepover, Raph gets worried about wearing his retainer~

Warnings: None, just fluff :)

Word count: 933

*****************************************************************

You had just had an amazing, long night with the gang.

Raph had invited you over for a sleepover, so you could hang out with him and his brothers, watch movies, play games, and chill.

It was getting late now though, even for them. Mikey was already passed out on the couch you all had been watching movies on. Leo was sitting in front of the couch watching Jupiter Jim intently, and Donnie was typing something on his wrist watch, as he was ‘definitely too busy to watch the Atomic Lass special’.

Raph yawned once, displaying his fang and teeth before stretching his back as he sat forward. He noticed how sleepy you were looking, and decided it was probably time for the two of you to head to bed.

“Y/n, you ready to head to Raphs’ room?” Raph asked, looking sleepy himself.

You yawned as well and nodded. “Yeah, probably…”

Raph nodded, definitely ready for bed; But he was the older brother, and had to make sure his younger siblings would go to bed too.

“Leo, last movie. Seriously, you won’t get any sleep. Same for you too Donnie, and no lab work past midnight.”

“Yes yes dear brother, I know the rules,” Donnie said, dismissing it with a wave of his hand before typing more stuff onto his wrist watch.

“Don’t worry Hermanos, I’ll make sure Don Tron goes to bed…. Aaaand I won’t stay up past midnight either…” Leo said, giving Raph a smile before turning his attention fully back to the screen.

Raph sighed, content with their answer. “You two will sleep… Trust me, I’ll know if you didn’t.” He tucked Mikey in with a blanket before getting up from the couch.

“Ready Y/n?”

You nodded happily and sleepily, telling the twins goodnight before getting up from the couch yourself.

Raph’s bedroom was nice. It was large, decently organized, and decorated with a few scattered posters. You noticed the small (some larger) scratch marks on the walls from his spikes. He had a large bed, big enough for the two of you to sleep on. Actually, you guessed that it was a king sized bed and a twin mattress pushed together to make one large bed.

“I like your room,” You smiled, setting your bag down. You had already gotten changed into your pj's, brushed your teeth and hair, ready for bed. One last thing was needed, though, to complete your routine. You squatted down next to your bag, digging through its contents to find your retainer.

“Thanks,” Raph smiled, and sat down on his bed, having already finished his nightly routine… But, he needed his retainer, too. It was sitting on his mostly bare nightstand, next to a small lamp. He didn’t keep much on it, more than once he had knocked the contents off during the night.

He was nervous to get it out, looking over at it more than once as the two of you talked.

“It kind of reminds me of my own room… I especially like your squishmallows collection,” You smiled at him over your shoulder, still digging around in your bed.

Raph smiled a toothy smile. “Thanks! I like to collect them… Kind of hard to do that without spending a lot of money, though… Most of them are ones my brothers have given me over the years”

You nodded. “Cool! Seems like your brothers knew just what to get you then.”

Raph looked over at the small box on his nightstand. He was nervous about wearing it in front of you. He had only ever worn it in front of his brothers, and he was worried of what you would think of it… Especially because it was shaped around his fang and looked a little strange.

Finally your fingers found the container your retainer was kept in.

You pulled it out of your bag, opening the small plastic container with a click

Raph blinked. “You… Wear a retainer?” He asked as you put it on, fitting it inside your mouth.

After a short moment of muscle memory, you closed the container and put it back in your bag with a nod and a smile. “Yep, I wear a retainer.”

You glanced at Raph to see his reaction, and was pleasantly surprised when Raph’s face lit up into a smile.

“Really? I wear one too!” He said, grabbing his container from his nightstand. “Raph was a little nervous about wearing it in front of you…”

You raised your eyebrows. “Nervous? Why?” You smiled. “There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Raph nodded, feeling a little better. “I don’t know… I was just self conscious.”

You shake your head. “Don’t be! I would never make fun of you for it or anything, even if I didn’t wear one myself.”

Raph smiles, and you zip up your bag. He opened the small plastic container, putting the plastic retainer over his teeth.

You smile at him, and he smiles back, clearly relieved.

“Thanks Y/n,” He smiled, and scooted so you could take half of the bed. You sat down next to him with a smile, patting his shoulder.

“No problem… Seriously, don’t stress about it…. No one should ever make fun of you for it,” You say, laying down next to him on your half of the bed, pulling the blankets up over yourself. It was getting really late, and you could immediately tell how tired you were.

Raph smiled and nodded, pulling the gigantic blanket over half of himself too.

“Good to know…Thanks,” He said, sleepiness settling into his eyes and muscles.

“Anytime Raphie…”

*****************************************************************

Hope you like it! I'm really busy working on some personal and long requests, so I took a break to do some shorter ones :)

Bye bye butterflies!

Could you write what the tmnt boys would be like/do on a rainy day with their s/o who loves rain and thunderstorms? I hope you have a great day!

As someone who dislikes rain and has a fear of thunderstorms....yes I will do this

Rainy Day

By themselves:

None of the guys like leaving the lair (unless it's super important) in rainy weather. It's cold, and the sewers water level rises and gets all over their pants (even more than normal) and they just end up soaked to the bone

So they stay home and relax until the rains over

Raph and Mikey sleep in and catch up on some much needed zzz's

I feel like Raph doesn't like thunderstorms, (he had a nightmare when he was a kid and got woken up by a loud stroke of thunder) so the first brother he sees he'll kinda stick to for the whole day.

They don't mind, everybody is in a really chill mood and Raph's nice company when he's not yelling

Leo doesn't like to stay in bed super late so he'll get up at his normal time and just meander around the lair until someone else gets up

Donnie will either go to bed, or sleep in. He takes rainy days as mental health days, he'll sleep, and eat (all three meals!) with his family and take a nice long shower or bath. It's one of the few days that he actually shuts his brain off.

Splinter still has them train but goes easy on them, simple stuff they've done and mastered a hundred times. (He does it so he can praise them and tell them how proud he is of them)

With an S/O

Their ideal rainy day would be waking up in bed snuggled up with you hearing the rain.

Mikey wants to watch movies with you, or if you feel like it, he'll dare you to try and beat his some of his favorite video game high scores.

Donnie will invite you to join him in his shower/bath. (Let him wash your hair, please, it's one of his favorite things)

Leo won't stay in bed all day, he feels unproductive if he does, but he still wants you by his side. He just wants to do mundane things. Brushing your teeth together, that sleepy small talk as you both get breakfast but have to be quiet so you don't wake anybody else up.

Mikey insists that you help him cook dinner, rain just makes him want to cook big meals. So he'll drag you to the kitchen and teach you how to make their favorite meal (it's probably Mac and cheese)

They have a giant family meal, they invite April, Casey, Vern, and the six of you sit around the living room and eat. (The dining table isn't big enough for all of them). (April, Casey, and Vern wouldn't come over if it was raining too hard, but the boys would make an effort to call April and just check in.

Depending on what season it is, they'll put on a movie that correlates to it. If it's October it'll be a spooky movie, or something supernatural, in late Novemebr and December its Christmas movies.

They'll argue a little bit on movies, but it all stops when Splinter comes in and reminds them of the Remote Rule. Whoever gets the remote first gets to pick the movie.

They'll turn down the jokes, and teasing, and sex jokes and comments when Splinters in the room. But without him its rare that all 4 of them will be quiet for the whole movie

After the movie they all bid each other goodnight and start getting ready for bed.

Donnie and Mikey turns off all their big lights and turn on fairy lights all around their room.

Raph and Leo are willing to do face masks, skin care, and or painting their nails if you want to

In the end it's just a chill day where the boys turn off their brains and do some self care and spend time with their family

Cold Hands, Warm Heart(Rise! Raph x Reader)

3777 words of complete and utter nonsense. I've never written for Raph before, so I hope I did well

Summary: Your heater broke down in the dead of winter. Hopefully Raph won't mind you hanging out with him for the time being.

-----------------------

My eyes flutter open as a chill runs down my spine, the heap of blankets paired with my warm pajamas not doing enough to fight against the cold. I shuffle a bit in my bed, trying to get comfortable again so I could fall back asleep. Winter has taken hold over New York, and the cold was finally starting to creep into my apartment. With my heater being busted at the moment, there was nothing I could really do except try and tough it out through blanket nests and warm foods. The company apparently can’t send someone to fix it until Friday, so waiting it out is kind of my best option. I glanced over at the digital clock that sits snugly on my nightstand, the bright and bold numbers flashing the unfortunate time of 3:22 AM staring me down, serving as a constant reminder of my inability to get some rest.

I shift under the covers once more, avoiding the cold spots created by the lack of body heat. It’s times like these I start to regret letting Leo borrow the heated blanket I bought a couple years ago. Guilt starts to pile up in my stomach for daring to think that, as I know he must have it worse right now. Even though they are warm blooded, all the turtle brothers tend to be more susceptible to both hot and cold than the average person. Lending Leo my precious heated blanket was a noble sacrifice I had to make if it means he’s getting through this winter a bit easier. Too bad I’ll most likely never see it again, stupid blanket stealing jerk.

My eyes finally start to droop as the drowsiness kicks in a bit more, my mind bouncing from Leo’s blanket thievery to Donnie’s recent invention to Raph’s kind nature, and the serotonin that came with the final thought was starting to knock me out once again.

I came to realize my crush on the giant snapping turtle about a year after we met, and he’s been at the forefront of my mind ever since. Even if his tall stature was a bit intimidating at first, his personality proved to me that he was just a giant teddy bear. A teddy bear with built in spikes, a dash of violence, and separation anxiety, but a teddy bear no less.

I lay my head against my arms, shifting the cocoon of blankets around me to try and keep the heat inside so I could stay warm. Feeling my body giving into the fatigue that held it in its grasp was comforting, and I hoped I could sleep till the sun’s up. Constantly waking up to a dark room was starting to make my overactive mind run through the possibilities of ghosts, demons, and murderers that might be in my room with me.

My eyes shoot open as I hear my phone start ringing, the familiar tune cluing me in to who’s calling. Raph. I launch my arm out of my warm blankets and aimlessly feel around for my phone. The cold of the room starts to seep into the opening my arm makes, and I grit my teeth at the unpleasant feeling. My hand finally feels the slick rubber of my phone case, and I quickly yank it back into my makeshift warmth pocket. I answer the call as I put the phone up to my ear, grinning giddily as I greet the snapping turtle on the other side.

“Um, hey. Sorry to wake ya’,” he starts, and I note the grogginess and nervousness that seems to seep into his voice. “I know it’s late, but I was wondering if ya’d like to come over? I had a nightmare, but don’t wanna’ bother any’a brothers right now, they haven’t gotten much sleep as of late.”

I smile softly at his words, knowing the double meaning behind them. He had another nightmare about the Kraang, and he doesn’t want his brothers to see that he’s still suffering. “Yeah, I’ll be over in a second. I’m assuming I can go straight to your room, or do you want me to meet you in the living room?” After the Kraang invasion, Raph’s been having nightmares, and I appreciated that he trusted me enough to ask for help.

“Kitchen, actually. I’ve started making some hot cocoa, and I’m not too keen on drinking it anywhere else. A bit worried I’d spill it, and most cleaning supplies are in Dee’s lab.”

“Okie dokie, I’m heading over now.” I hang up the phone and take a glance around my room. Turning on the flashlight function on my phone, I get up and stretch a bit. The cold air washes over me like a tsunami, and I curl into myself a bit. I almost forgot about the cold while Raph was calling, and it’s taking its revenge by ravaging my body with shivers.

I use the flashlight feature on my phone to help guide me through my room, and I turn on the light once I reach it. I rapidly blink a couple of times, trying to get my eyes to adjust to the sudden bright light faster. Once the world is a bit more clear, I trudge my way over to my closest. I really don’t want to have to change. Raph won’t mind me showing up in PJ’s, right? I mean, it is 3:30 in the morning, so it can’t be that weird. Making up my mind, I grab my jacket and put it on, throwing it over my shoulders as I turn off the light and head to leave my apartment after grabbing my keys. I really hope no one else is awake.

I speed walk down the dimly lit hallway, glancing over my shoulder as I go. The apartment I lived in was relatively safe, but one could never be too sure. Hell, the 2 guys that lived next door got mugged last week. Sure they were across town leaving a pub, but one could never be too cautious.

Leaving the apartment complex, I quickly head for the alley a couple blocks away. I knew there was a sewer hole there, and I wanted to get down to the lair as fast as I could, the cold was killing me. I inwardly cheer as I make it to the sewer plate, mentally patting myself on the back for not getting jumped. Not that I actually did anything, but still, it’s the little things.

Checking to make sure no one's around, I take the robot I got from Donnie out of my pocket and set it on the manhole cover. As manhole covers can weigh up to 250 pounds, Donnie gave me and April these little robots that open them for us. It will forever impress me how the turtle brothers lift them without assistance. Leo loves to hold it over my head how easily he can pick up the plates of steel and concrete, constantly making fun of me for not being able to do the same.

Once the cover is removed, I grab the robot and make my way down, putting the robot back onto the plate so it can close it. I take my phone out as the robot works and put on the flashlight. It gets really dark once the lid closes, and I learned my lesson the first time I tried to climb down in the dark. Turns out, it’s really hard to climb back up a ladder with a broken arm.

The robot dings and I pluck it off the cover. Sticking it back into my pocket, I slowly make my way down the ladder, trying not to fall. When I reach the bottom, I lightly tap the concrete with my foot. Stepping in a puddle would really suck, and while sewage doesn’t drain through here that often, any water down here is really gross.

Satisfied with the dryness, I fully step down. I use my flashlight to guide me once more, muscle memory taking over. It was around a 10 minute walk from the alleyway entrance to the lair, but Mikey painted the entire way with little graffiti drawings so I would have something to look at while I visit.

Once I enter the lair, I head straight for the kitchen. I could see better now that I reached the lair, so I finally turned off my phone’s flashlight. Hopefully it wouldn’t die considering I forgot my battery pack in my rush to get here. As I entered the room, I could see Raph sitting at the island, his red onsie on and his retainer sitting next to him. He was sipping on a mug of what was presumably hot chocolate, and there was a second one next to him. Raph sends me a warm smile as I grab a stool to sit next to him, both of us wincing at the noise it makes when I drag it across the floor.

Raph slides the other mug over to me, and I eagerly take a sip. Holy moly Raph makes a good cup of hot chocolate, and this was just what I needed to warm me up. The lair was considerably warmer than everywhere else I had been tonight, and I wanted to stay here as long as possible.

Raph takes another long sip of his hot chocolate before he breaks the comfortable silence that settled between us. “Sorry to call ya’ so late, I really ‘preciate ya’ comin’ t’night.”

“Having nightmares again?” You look over at Raph, his mask was off so you could see the scarring around his eye. It was a miracle he could still see out of it.

Raph nods, staring down at his mug and watching the chocolate drink swirl. His leg was bouncing pretty quickly as he chewed on his lip. I wanted to ask what was wrong, see what was bothering him, but he beat me to it.

“Do ya’ mind sleeping over t’night? I’d ‘preciate the company. We could hav’a slumber party in the projector room, or just hang out in mine. Whichever makes ya’ more comfortable”

I scan Raph’s face, noting how he’s not meeting I gaze fully. Feeling relief that the main thing bothering him was just the shyness of asking his friend to sleepover, you shoot him a big grin.

“Dude, I’d literally love that,” I say, shifting in my seat to face him more. “My heater broke, and it’s actually warm here. You’re gonna have to drag me out kickin’ and screamin’.”

Raph finally meets my gaze, brows knitted together making his quote-unquote “Raph chasm” grow larger. “Are you okay? How long’s it been broken? Do ya’ know when it’ll get fixed?”

His rapid-fire questions stun me a bit, I didn’t expect him to care so much. Maybe he likes me back? Is this hope? A sign? I slightly shake my head, trying to shoo the thoughts out of my head. It’s Raph, he cares because his heart’s too big and I’m his friend. That’s it. That has to be it. Right?

“Yeah, I’m good. It’s been broken for about a day, and the repair dude said it’d take about a week for them to get out there and fix it.” I swirl the rest of the hot chocolate in my mug, frowning slightly when I see just how far down it’s gotten.

“A week? Isn’t that dangerous? Dee said it’s gonna get pretty close to zero around here soon.” Raph frown deepens and the creases in his forehead grow. I notice his leg starts bouncing once more, the growing worry clearly eating him up.

“Yeah, I’m not too sure what I’m gonna do. So far, the blanket cocoon idea isn’t working the best.”

“You could stay here.”

My head whips over to look at Raph, searching his face for any sign of deception or lies. “I really couldn’t, you guys have your own stuff to deal with, and I don’t want to impose.”

Raph sighs as he leans back on the stool, hanging onto the lip of the island with his hands while he stretches. “I get your anxiety about being a burden, really I do, but you know we care about you right?”

Raph shifts in his seat so he could look at me properly, putting his hand on my shoulder and waiting for me to meet his gaze before continuing. “You’re not a bother, you’re not a burden, and you’re always welcome here. We care ‘bout’cha, and I sure don’t want you to freeze. If anyone says anything about you staying here for the week, I’ll personally have a talk with them, ‘kay?”

My face warms at his words and I just nod my head dumbly, hiding my face behind the mug I continued to sip on. Raph seems to accept this as an appropriate answer, smiling warmly at me before patting my twice on the shoulder and turning back to his normal sitting position. We continue to sit in a semi-comfortable silence as I wait for my face to cool down again. This was not helping my crush on him at all.

I set my mug down gently, stealing a glance at Raph as he tips his head back to finish off the rest of his drink. I smiled a bit at the sight, the red giant’s tail was wagging slightly, obviously being pleased with the way his cocoa tasted. The worst he could say was no, right? That’s what everyone says? If I confess right now, maybe he’d go easy on the rejection. I take a deep breath and steel my nerves.

“Hey Raph?” Raph’s head turns towards me, his deep eyes putting their full attention on me. “I want to tell you som-”

My words were interrupted by a spoken “GASP”, and I deflate as Raph’s attention turns towards the offending voice.

Donnie marches in, phone in hand as he stomps and spits all over my attempt to finally admit my feelings to Raph. I vaguely notice that he has yet to change into his pajamas, but I was more focused on the eyebags showing around his eyes through his mask. He looked like he hadn't slept in a week.

“Holy Galileo, is that HOT CHOCOLATE? And you never even offered me any!? Raph, my brother I am OFFENDED!”

I giggle a bit, my mood lighting up a bit. Donnie really can be amusing when he wants to. Although, I’m not too sure he’s aware of it.

Raph rolls his eyes at the young pouting softshell, slightly amused by his dramatic outburst. “To be fair Dee, I thought’cha were sleepin’ already. Y’know, like your s'posed to be.”

Donnie falters a bit before perking back up, obviously reading to make his case on why he should be allowed to be awake and drinking hot cocoa, “You cannot turn this on me, no sir. Last I checked, you’re supposed to be asleep too, but you’re still up. And with THEM!”

Donnie accentuates his last sentence by dramatically pointing his finger at me like I was an enemy soldier on a warfront. I loudly slurped the rest of my cocoa, watching Donnie's eyes twitch at the sound. I smile a bit into my cup, proud that I was able to get a slight rise out of the turtle. Raph rolls his eyes once more at his brother's antics, pushing back his chair to stand up properly.

“One, I called Y/n in the middle of the night. This is an apology/bonding hot cocoa. Two, you’re supposed to be asleep. However, I am willing to make more if you want some, I'm running low anyway.” Donnie eagerly nods at Raph’s words, fishing down a mug for himself while Raph starts to busy himself with finding the big cocoa powder tin. He looks over at me, holding the tin and slightly shaking it in a silent question to me. I grin and nod excitedly at the notion, pushing my mug towards him slightly as I mutter my thanks and pleases.

Raph hums as he pours water into a saucepan along with sugar, cocoa powder, and a small amount of salt. Donnie pulls up a stool and sits next to me, his mug in front of him while he plays on his phone in wait.

“Why are you here? It’s almost 4 o'clock in the morning.” Donnie says, never looking up from his phone.

“Raph called me to hang out and my heaters broke anyway, so I just came to hang out.”

Donnie finally looks at me, his brow furrowing in confusion. “Why isn’t it fixed yet?”

I shrug. I didn’t really know why it wasn't, but it continues to not work. “The company that I contacted said they couldn’t send someone ‘till Friday, didn’t really give me a reason though.”

Donnie frowns at my answer, his ‘eyebrows’ knitted together in a similar fashion to Raphs. “It’s tuesday.”

“Oh wow, really? Gosh, thanks for telling me such valuable information. I will cherish it forever.” Sarcasm drips from every word I spout, and Donnie looks incredibly unamused. I hear Raph snort from next to the stove, so I count this as a win.

“Why would it take them 5 days to come out and fix your heater? That’s a 2 hour job at worst.”

“Yeah, well, that’s what they told me. There isn’t much else I can do but wait.” I shrug, and turn back towards Raph, watching him stir in the milk before pouring the mixture into each of our cups. Both Donnie and I give a quiet thanks to Raph while he walks around to sit next to me once more.

Continuing the conversation, Donnie speaks up once more. “I could fix it.”

The skeptic look I was staring down Donnie with brightens to one of hope. “Are you serious? ‘Cause that’d seriously be so awesome!”

Donnie nods his head as he sips from his mug, obviously savoring the sweet drink as much as possible. “If you’d want, we could head over right now-”

Raph slams his cup that he was previously drinking, the loud “WHAM” making both Donnie and I jump slightly. Donnie and I both turn to look at the snapper, but Raph refuses to look either of us in the eye.

“Oh Raph-a-la, want to share what that was about, hmm?” Donnie and I both continue to stare Raph down, his face slowly turning as red as his pajamas.

“I, um. They don’t need it done now, plus we’re all tired, so Raph thinks they should stay here tonight. No offense Donnie, but you look like you might pass out any second.”

Donnie continues to stare Raph down, and seems to find something during his analysis. With a little nod to himself, Donnie shoots Raph a tight smile.

“Well, if you say so boss man. I’m gonna take this,” Donnie raises his mug of hot chocolate, “and head off to my lab. Goodnight you two. Come find me in the morning if you want to take me up on that offer, Y/n.”

I nod and Donnie and wave goodbye as he leaves. I hear Raph calling out his own little goodbyes, and I realize we are left alone once more.

“So…., what were you gonna say earlier?” Raph starts, taking a sip from his mug as he eyes me. “It seemed important, but Donnie kinda interrupted you.”

I freeze in my seat. I completely forgot about the almost confession that happened earlier. “Oh, that.. Um, well, I just kinda wanted to get something off my chest, but it isn’t really important. You don’t gotta worry about it!”

Raph’s eyes narrow as he looks me up and down. “Uh huh, sure. Y'know you can Raph anything, right?”

I shrink a bit under Raph’s gaze, my face heating up as I try to work up the courage once more. “Yeah, I know. It's just, I don’t know. I don’t want to make things weird between us.”

“Why would things become weird between us?”

Here goes. “Because I like you, like, a lot.”

I watch Raph freeze, his body grows tense and I start to panic. “Not that you need to reciprocate! I know I’m a bit weird, so I totally understand if you don’t like me back! We can totally ignore any of this happened, I can even go back to my apartment if your uncomfortable, I don’t want to make things weird between us-”

Raph puts his hand on my head, stopping my ramblings. There's a small smile on his face and the pit in my stomach grows. This is it. I’m about to get rejected and he’s never going to talk to me again. This sucks.

Raph opens his mouth and I tense expecting the worst. “Don’t worry! Raph likes you too! Like, a lot.”

What?

That’s not what I thought was gonna happen. I meet Raph’s eyes and they are filled with nothing but warmth. I melt into the hand on my head, the relief mixing with elation and I feel like I just had a sugar crash.

“You do?” I had to make sure, make sure this wasn’t some pity move to make me feel better.

Raph nods, pulling me into a hug which I instantly melt into. “Raph promises. I like you too, Y/n. I have for a while.”

“Oh.”

I feel Raph’s body vibrate with the chuckle that escapes him. He just holds me for a bit, keeping me next to him to prove that this wasn’t a dream and I wasn’t about to wake up. The events of the day slowly catch up to me, my body demanding sleep now that all the worry was drained out of my body.

“Do you wanna talk about it?” I ask, trying to gauge whether this was a conversation I need to wake myself up for or not.

“No, let's try in the morning. We’re both too tired to think. Do you want to sleep in the projector room, or mine?” Raph shifts me in his arms, standing up while carrying me. I was a bit embarrassed he felt the need to, but I would care more later. I’m still riding on a love high. Plus, Raph’s carrying me, I'm not complaining for the world.

“Uhhhhhhh, yours. I want to snuggle in your plushie pile.”

I watch Raph nod through half lidded eyes, snuggling into the turtles arms even more. I fell asleep before I reached the room, dreaming of all the things Raph and I were going to do together now that the feelings are officially mutual.

early morning, day 14

nightwatcher raph

He had a routine that was working pretty well. As long as he was headed home by 4 am, he’d be safely in bed and by all appearances asleep before Donnie was up making breakfast.

Donnie’s breakfasts were horrible—he knew just enough about nutrition to put way too many elements into one meal, and absolutely nothing about flavor. But Mikey’s gigs were usually in the evenings, so it was hard for him to get up early. He’d make a big lunch and save the leftovers for dinner. Raph should’ve really been making dinners while Mikey covered lunch, but that would require having Donnie’s eyes on him in the evenings. He was already playing it risky. Better just let them think he was a bum.

Some mornings—like this one, when the streets were quiet—which only ever happened thanks to him—he’d head back early and do what he could.

The challenge was, he didn’t necessarily want them to know he’d been cleaning. He tried to do things quietly that Mikey would assume Donnie did and Donnie would assume Master Splinter did. Wiped down counters, dusted the living room, took out the trash.

They needed to vacuum, bad, but he couldn’t really do that without waking anyone.

So, he changed the vacuum bag and cleaned out the brushes. He was trying to decide if he should leave it out or not; on the one hand, it was evidence, but on the other hand, it was more likely to get vacuumed if the thing was right in their way.

When had they all gotten so burnt out? Had Leo really been pulling that much of the housework?

“Thanks for doing that.”

Raph startled, glancing between the exhausted form of his brother and the oven clock declaring 4:57. He refocused on his task, clenching his jaw in irritation.

“Donnie. What are you doing up?”

Instead of answering right away, Donnie padded towards him, sliding out a kitchen chair and settling down to watch him work.

“Gotta make breakfast soon.” He gestured at the vacuum, “Meant to get to that.”

Raph grunted and refused to look up. As the minutes ticked by in silence, he started to get antsy.

“What are you watching me for?”

“You don’t know that I’m watching you. You’re not even looking.”

Raph glanced up, and found Donnie was in fact staring, almost mesmerized, at the inside of the vacuum. In other words, he was watching him.

“You just waiting for me to mess up?”

“I don’t know how you could mess up cleaning out a vacuum.”

“Yeah, well—what are you doing up so early?”

This time, Raph looked at him. Looked hard, at the circles under his eyes, the slump in his shoulders, and most of all, the way he turned out to be just as shy about eye contact as Raph was.

“We got a letter from Leo yesterday.”

Raph’s heart sank. It should be a huge relief, but something in his brother’s fragile tone suggested otherwise. “Oh?”

“He sent it from Hawaii, but he said he wasn’t staying long. He’s probably headed to South America. Wasn’t too detailed, but at least we know he’s alive.”

Raph clicked the vacuum back together. “Anything about being late?”

“Nope. Which for me pretty much confirms he just lost track of time.”

“By two months?” Raph sneered, startling himself with the venom in his voice. It wasn’t Donnie’s fault. He needed to calm down.

It was a bit infuriating when his companion just shrugged. “He’s been through different timezones, and it’s not like he has a calendar. I’m sure we’ll see him soon.”

“Yeah. Right.” Raph couldn’t begin to explain the twisting feeling in his gut. He could find a post office, but not a calendar? Donnie might he ready to accept excuses, but Raph wasn’t.

He finished winding the cord back up, and hesitated.

“You can leave it out,” Donnie said softly. “I’ll vacuum later.”

He wanted to take that as an invitation to retreat to his room. But he could see his brother’s mind working, and he couldn’t really just leave.

He wasn’t like Leo.

He took the seat across from Donnie, and waited.

“Yesterday,” Donnie’s tone was deceitfully matter-of-fact, “Mikey asked me if I thought Leo was staying away on purpose.”

He glanced up to see Raph’s reaction, and he tried to give none. He didn’t do too well; he couldn’t help a scowl. “What’d you tell him?”

Donnie traced one of the table legs with his finger. “I told him I didn’t think so.”

Raph shifted in his seat, leaning across the table. “What do you think happened?” He really tried to make it a question and not a snarl. Just because he’d given up on Leo didn’t mean his brothers had to.

Donnie finally looked him straight in the eye. “I told Mikey that our brothers would never leave us. That we’re a family, we’ve only ever had each other, and as long as we possibly can be here, we would be.”

Raph narrowed his eyes, refusing to hear the reprimand. “And?”

Donnie sighed. “And that Leo probably just lost track of time.”

He snorted and rolled his eyes, turning only just away to hide, even though it must have still been obvious, that he was crying. “How long is that excuse gonna last?”

There was a long, hard silence between them. Then, like a final judgment, his brother’s soft tone ended the conversation.

“Usually until about 5:15. What do you want on your omelettes, Raph?”

He had to adjust his routine after that. He didn’t know what Donnie thought he was doing, but he clearly wasn’t buying sleeping all the time. He would have to come back a little earlier, make sure not to be caught like that again.

He didn’t know at the time that he’d need to keep it up for another ten months.

PROMPT FIC: The International Incident

@supershiny-raven asked:

😺 confessing their feelings 🍯 friends to lovers 🤠 Fake dating Leo

BayVerse Leonardo X Reader

Rating: PG-13 + She/Her Reader + TW: alcohol, mild swearing, threats of exhibitionism

The International Incident

PART 1:

“Leo! HELP! I’m in trouble!”

Your desperate voice over the phone snaps him into action mode. He hits the shell cell emergency alert button to get his brothers moving and presses the speaker phone button. Two hands free, he can belt his swords into place while getting details.

“Did something happen at the bachelorette party? Stay calm. Tell me what's going on.”

Leo hustles out into main room, barking orders. “Donnie. I need a location on her phone ASAP. Raph, I know you just restocked the first aid kit; make sure it gets into the truck. Mikey—

“Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod!! LEO, THEY FOUND ME!!” Your voice overloads the phone speaker and makes it pop and squeal.

Michelangelo races over to Leonardo and the phone. His face is stricken with fear for you.

“I’ve got a location on her! She’s at Boho Karaoke Orchard—“ Donatello cuts off as bandsaw squealing knifed out of the phone.

“YEEEE! I FOOOUUUUND HEEEERRRR!!!” A chorus of drunken women squeal and laugh in delight. “Our laaaaassttt SINGLE LADY!! Get her shirt! She’s doing topless shots until she gets 3 hotties’ phone numbers!” A raucous cheer goes up.

Raphael barrels back into the room, about to demand when they’re leaving. He gets an earful of you and your best friend, the bride-to-be, fighting over the phone.

“NO no no no, please! I don’t— Let me keep my shirt! AND MY PHONE! Kristy! Give it back! You— you can’t make me to do the shirtless shots!”

“I can and I will and I warned everybody that single ladies in my bridal party get extra attention tonight! You’d better be wearing a sexy bra! Gimme the phone! Who’s Leo anyways?!”

Michelangelo puts his hand over the microphone on the shell cell and whispers, “So…Is this, like, an emergency-emergency?”

Raphael snorts and throws himself into the recliner. “Not one we can help with.”

Leonardo just stares wide-eyed at the phone. Why the heck did you call him of all people? Is he supposed to bust into a karaoke bar and swoop you out before your friends make you do shots? Honestly… maybe you and your friends have already had some drinks. That would explain all this.

“C’mon, sweetie! Who’s Leo? You keeping secrets before my wedding?!”

The phone in his hand echoes with toilet flushes and background girl talk. Apparently you called him from the ladies’ room. He shifts uncomfortably. He should hang up. The women’s bathroom is a private space and you aren’t in the kind of danger that needs … turtle power. Maybe he and the guys could wait outside the bar and make sure you get home okay. With your shirt back on.

“Leo’s …Leo. Um, I shouldn’t talk about… “

Yeah. You're tipsy alright.

“Wait. Who is Leo?” Someone else butts in.

“O.M.G. Is… wait! Is this why you’ve been fighting doing the shots!? IS LEO YOUR BOYFRIEND?!”

Michelangelo swipes the phone right out of Leo’s hand.

Oh no. Leo should have hung up immediately. He should have hung up before he even alerted his brothers. He should have gone back in time and hung up before he was born.

Leo snatches at the phone, but Michelangelo is laughing to bust a gut and has already tossed it to Donatello. Shit. They're going to play keep away.

"Gimme the phone, Donnie." Leonardo stalks closer to Donatello's brain station.

Hopefully Mikey mute the microphone or the whole bridal party is going to hear his brothers.

It’s bad enough that he can hear his brothers.

“OMG. LEO. ARE YOU HER BOYFRIIIEEENND?!”

“Knock it off, Mikey. Don, could you please just hang up and give those girls some privacy?”

“No way! Throw me the phone! We’re not missing this!”

"No! Raph. Don't--"

Leo spins Donatello’s office chair, but it is too late! Donnie has already slingshot the phone over to Raph in the recliner. All Leo gets is a face full of laugh-snorting nerd.

Fine! Follow the phone!

He pivots lightening fast and strikes for the phone in Raph’s grip. Leo leans over Raphael and grins in triumph as he squeezes the plastic casing now in his hand… wait. This is the remote control. The phone is suddenly in Raph’s other hand.

Which is how Leo gets a front row seat to your ultimate betrayal.

“YES! LEO IS MY BOYFRIEND!! I LOVE HIM!! NOW GIVE ME MY PHONE!!”

The sudden happy cry of “OOOOooooOOOOO” from the ladies’ bathroom is loud but not as loud as Leo’s brothers joining in. Shit-eating grins all around. Donatello’s giggling snorts dance out from behind his screens.

“Ho. Lee. Shit! You have a boyfriend and you didn't tell me?! You didn't introduce us?! Is he your plus one to the wedding tomorrow?! He's on the phone right now!! Gimme the phone!! LEEEOOO!!! WE GOTTA TALK, MY MAN!!”

“No no no nononono! KRISTY! THIS ISN’T! STOPPIT! I DIDN’T! Oof! I DIDN’T! Gimme!! I DIDN’T TELL YOU BECAUSE IT’S LONG DISTANCE!!” The sounds of you shouting and jumping for your phone echo around the lair.

Three of the boys lean in closer with cheesy grins. All eyes on Leo. It is so rare to have something to tease the guy about. Watching him get flustered and embarrassed about you? Best. New. Hobby. Ever.

For his part, Leo stands stock still. His brows stretch the top edge of his bandana as they climb up his forehead.

You called him your boyfriend. That is completely false. You are inebriated. You are trying to avoid doing to shirtless shots. You are trying to get your phone back. It is obviously false.

His face heats regardless.

You two have never discussed feelings. Friendship or otherwise. Not that you aren’t friends. You are friends. For sure you are friends. Even if you never explicitly spoke about friendship. But friends can be like that, right? Just being. Not naming it specifically.

His hands open and close. He doesn’t have anything to grip right now.

It’s the significant-other-level feelings that need to be discussed first, right? That’s what TV and books and movies and common sense tell him. He can’t be your boyfriend and not know. You can’t actually love him—like LOVE-HIM love him—and he not know.

He swallows hard on a mouthful of spit. Hearing you say those things and knowing they aren’t true? Everything under his front plates spins like a washing machine. He rubs his stomach ache absently.

Meanwhile, the bride-to-be is giving you the third degree. “He’s not talking. So you tell me! How long distance is long-distance? Where did you meet him? How long have you been hiding him? Is he some creep from the internet?”

“Kristy. Please. Give me the phone. He’s not a creep from the internet. He’s a nice boy ...from Canada.”

“A nice boy?! From Canada?! GIRLS! We’re taking this back to the song booth! He’s still on the phone! Get your questions ready. I’m about to get married and go on a 2-week honeymoon so we have only have two hours to get to know this CANADIAN LEO. Get ready, LEO!”

“Can’t I have the phone?,” you plead.

“Nope! But we can have another round of cocktails! Who wants something fruity?!”

A whooping chorus of friends shouts approval in the background.

“Raph,” Leo cuts in at a whisper. “Just hang up. The phone’ll lock and they won’t be able to call back.”

“Are you kidding?!” Raph tosses his head back with a guffaw. “No way! Mr. Long-Distance Canadian Nice-Boy! She called you! She needs you! Aren’t you gonna stick this out and keep her from having to do shirtless shots in front of strangers?”

“…” Leonardo shifts uncomfortably. Strictly speaking, this is a mess of your own making. But the way Raph phrased that…

“Oh you bet he is!” comes from Michelangelo. “My brother is a hero!” His face radiates sincere admiration and innocent conviction. The way his eyes sparkle, however, says he knows what he’s doing.

Ooo! That stinker is honor-locking Leo on purpose.

Leonardo clears his throat. “Oh. Of. Of course. Of course I’ll pretend to be her boyfriend.”

“Don’t worry, Leo! I’m drawing you up a complete Canadian Boyfriend character profile that will stand up to basic Googling.” Donatello’s fingers fly over his keyboard. The screens around him pop up more and more information: City, Province, job, apartment, local attractions, weather stats, maps, photos.

“And how hard can it be to fool a bunch of drunks?” Raph winks at him, then tosses Leonardo the phone.

(i am so sorry i keep sending asks, i'm just very excited for all your AUs)

For Weary and Wild AU:

Is Casey jr clise to any of the brothers? Considering he has his peepaw back..

Was it Donnie who figured out that four was with big mama?

After the final "failed" attempt on retreaving Leo, what happened to the fam? Does Donnie officially have a full on resentment hatred for F!Leo? Is Mikey broken.. bcz he thought he was too late?

Hc that Four likes getting pet by big mama and One, also One and Raph/Donnie has a rivalry on "best sibling on Leo's book" and that when Four and Donnie reunite four almost bite his whole hand off but Donnie is too emotional to care

For your Prime Leo AU:

Who does Leo meet first out of all his Yokai friends? ..koya?.. Natsu?

Can Koya fly? Since in the idw she lost her ability of flight.. (also bcz i'm a sucker for a disable meeting/helping another disable)

How panicked was the fam when Leo "disapeared" and who broke the most things in their panic (i'm betting on Donnie) ?

ahh~ no probbles!!

for the Weary and Wild AU:

he's close with them, yes, and he's close with Lee too. obviously, he's known him his whole life. but there's this...tension surrounding them in part due to Leo. everyone heard that it was him that closed the portal, and while they don't blame him, Casey fully blames himself and kinda believes that everyone is just acting nice to not hurt his feelings. and he doesn't know if he perfers that to them outright hating him

Donnie, surprisingly enough, isn't the one who figures out Four is alive and is staying with Big Mama. that honor goes to the one and only......... Sunita *jazz hands*

after the final attempt, everyone just sort of went...numb. they got the biggest lectures of their lives by Draxum but they were too despondent to hear it. Raph doesn't know what to do with himself anymore, Donnie's officially entered a depressive state, and Mikey has now been banned from practicing mystic arts for the unforseeable future by both Draxum and his dad. watching them is like watching zombies walk about

YES!! Four does love pets!! i did say he acts like a cat, so he loves chin scritches a lot

as for title of "favorite sibling". hmmm...i'd say Donnie would like to have a fight for that title. One doesn't really care about her status in Four's favortism (she already knows), and Raph wants to pretend he follows her thinking but he secretly wants to know who Four likes best too

for the Prime Leo AU:

the first friend Leo met was Kōya!! they met when she kinda sorta accidently kidnapped him (unknowingly) to help their team win some sort of race. Leo, after a full minute of trying not to panic, thought "eh? why not?" and decided to help. they've hung out ever since <3 (Bludgeon was second, and Natsu was last)

i've finally made up my mind about that tidbit and the answer is: no~!! i decided to skip the amulet thing bc i had no idea how to write that into their character. so yeah. Kōya can't fly due to an accident when she was small (tot age) and they help Leo when it comes to his disabilities

when Leo snuck out for the first time, no one noticed. he did it all sneaky like (not with his portals bc those are pretty on the fritz thanks largely to Prime. they'll go back to normal dw, but his ninpō is pretty unreliable after Prime). but when he met Kōya he stayed out far later than he normally does. Casey was the one who found out that Leo wasn't in the lair anymore, but Donnie (as you said) was the one who freaked out about it the most (followed very closely by Raph)

how are the rest of the family in that scene from the rise movie, where cino's alone on top of the krang ship, followed by the minutes that he's trapped in the prison dimension? wouldn't it also be a specifically harrowing sight for Mikey because of Dimension X?

OOOOOOH BUDDY I JUST FINISHED BULLET POINTING THAT HOLD ON—

-spoilers below-

Ok so it’d basically follow the movie but the whole kicker is that In included Lita and Mira alongside Jr when he hops back in time!

So it’s not only Jr. Seeing his sensei/uncle getting trapped in that portal it’s also Lita and Mira watching their one hope win and die all the some. But I enough about them—

The family???

Story wise Donnie and Tio Casey are currently knocked out with Lou and O’Hara, Leo, April and Mikey are huddled together having to have listend to the whole transmission, and Mona and Raph have a busted communicator so they can only listen in but can’t reply.

The Mutanimal’s as well are grouped up and trying to figure out a new plan alongside Cass when the comm comes though from Cino.

To them all it’s very much a dire thing. Cino is usually one step ahead of his enemies; in a plan. He and Corrin both general have back up stuff at the ready if their first plan fails. But know??

He really does end up following in his Sensei’s foot steps. Leo ends up disassociating from the whole thing; from Aprils crying and Mikey’s panicked yelling.

That’s his little nephew. The kid who ran to him for extra snacks, to stay up late. Who came to him when he felt alone.

Mondo try’s to cut off the communicator in Slashes hand— trying to stop the reality around them.

Raph and Mona?

Earlier Mona got hit to her side so it’s Raph helping to carry her to safety when the communicator goes off. The sucking dread and the promise Raph made his sons make to come back safe.

Alive.

It’s a bad show reel. Especially for Mona; having had too many younger friends and family die in a war; but this isn’t. They know that but it doesn’t stop Mona’s struggle to get out of Raph’s hold and run towards the Krang ship in a desperate attempt to reach her son. She’s crying and that can’t be good for her heart rate and blood lose and shit, Raph’s crying to as he pulls he back into a hug as they both end up watching the portal shut with their son inside.

She’s screaming in his ear, fists beating against his shell and he locks her against his chest. His own sobs breaking through. They had both made a promise to keep their children safe, and now look at what they’d done.

They’d broke that simple promise in two.

I do Inga t think Mikey has a spiraling moment when he’s out panic yelling as the portal shuts, he has to be dragged back into hiding before he gets devoured by a Krang dog. April trying desperately through her own migraine inducing sobs that they need to stay safe; hidden.

And when Cino gets back???

All the kid wants to his dad hugs. Raph and his sons (when they’ve recovered) all stay close to him. Mona stays a bit longer in the med bay so the family is often found in her room snuggled together and watching a movie to blur out the nightmares that hide in the shadows.

#Biscute answers #shell shocked au #spoilers??? ye spoilers #THE MOVIE PLOT LINE HAD BEEN ROTATING IN MY HEAD I JUST NEED TO GET MORE IMPORTANT BITS OF IT STRAIGHTED OUT

Second Chance (Future!Leo x Kalani)

Author’s notes: These are all Consenting Adults ranging from mid 20′s to late 30′s. MINORS DO NOT INTERACT! This is a 21+ blog and I do intend to bring some NSFW content.

Future!Leo is about 38, Kalani is 26. If you don’t like the age gap... tough noogies, I’m keeping it this way bwah ha ha! Now onward!

There it was, the technodrone destroyed; the city was safe. But at what cost? The last sign of Leo, in the portal Mikey was able to create to try and save his big brother. The scream of agony, the cackle of greed, and the wails of pain. It was all too fast and sudden. His room was still the same, but lifeless. Colorless in her eyes. Every square inch was him and it wasn't. It was suffocating her and Kalani couldn’t take it. She had made a small shrine in her new home with the rest of the Hamato clan. One with a picture of Leo. Her boyfriend. Her best friend. Champion. Brother. Hero. It weighed down on her heart and soul for her, a teenager who was once an up and coming Alchemist alongside Baron Draxum and close accomplice of Big Mama at the Nexus Hotel. Now a broken girl with her heart now gone forever in the prison dimension.

Grief and mourning lasted for a long time in the family. Donnie would have night terrors of that fateful day. Mikey screamed in pain as memories flooded his mind. Raph would have nights with no sleep, afraid of becoming that krang version of himself. Casey would only comfort them all to help them. Kalani, the most quiet of them, laid in her room curled up tight under her sheets to gain some sort of semblance. But it was fruitless as her quiet sobs would fall into loud wails of pain. Many nights, everyone came together in the main room. Blankets, pillows, fairy and christmas lights, heating lamps and blankets and mattresses laid out for everyone to sleep as a whole.

It took two months for Donnie to calm himself and finally start sleeping in his room. 5 months for Raph to finally start laying in his own bed. Mikey was an extra month before he finally went to his room. This left Kalani alone once again.

Her saving grace was her hero, now an old rat, Lou Jitsu, better known as Splinter. Many nights, he would keep his door open and a simple electric tea light alit giving her signs that she was always welcomed. A mattress was laid next to his raised bed. Blankets and a pillow from Leo's room always greeted her in warmth and comfort as she quietly cried herself to sleep while Splinter would pet her head and rub a soothing hand across her small shell to lull her to sleep. It wasn't until a year and a half later that she finally chose to start sleeping in her own room. Splinter always reminding her that her candle will always stay lit for her of she needs guidance and peace.

After that, everyone took on their roles. Raph was leader once again, Donnie was back working on his tech and inventions, and Mikey was still the silly one. But Kalani was offered, by her new family, to be their fourth crucial partner. Being the Face Man. The speed and precision that was needed for this team. Although she had no ninpo, she was a skilled fighter and knew how to work with the three brother's alongside with Casey. Naturally, she accepted and agreed to take up the role as "Face Man" to make Leo proud.

But that was all going to be put to the test.

Information from Cassandra showed that a new Foot Clan, working alongside the Purple Dragons and Baxter Stockboy all working together to try and release the Kraang once again from the prison dimension. They had learned through alchemy how to gain enough power to reopen a portal to get into the prison dimension so the Kraang can once again take over the world.

Sitting around the table with a map of the city and the warehouse where they were last seen, the Mad Dogs were formulating a plan to foil the Foot and Purple Dragons plan.

"We need to try and take down their alchemist. If we take them down, then we have a chance of keeping the prision dimension closed longer." Kalani explained as she began to look through her alchemy charts for a counter circle.

"But they also have the Dragons and Stockboy. I can guarantee that they have some sort of interdimensional gate that will help amplify their chances at opening the prison dimension. We can't rely solely on mystic powers." Donnie added as he swiped through his holoscreen from his gauntlet.

With a slight scoff fron Kalani, Raph glanced down at the Kappa before looking down at the coordinates. "We can't let this get to us, a'ight? We work as a team. Cassandra, April and Casey are going to be our infiltrators and give us our opening. Mikey, you and Donnie work on finding the main computer room and to take out anything that could be repurposed. I'll come in with smashibg out the enemies. And Kalani."

He emphasized, catching her attention with an unamused quirk of her brow.

"Keep your head in the game. You take out the Alchemist that they found. And no going lethal!" Raph added.

"Can I at least go semi-lethal?" She quipped.

"WH-WHAT?! NO!" Raph bellowed, earning a few chuckles from Mikey and a groan from Donnie.

It wasn’t long until they had agreed to the plan and began to leave the lair. Walking down the stairs and passing the train cars that were everyone’s bedroom, Kalani passed Leo's old room, the door closed and curtains drawn. Her pace slowed to a stop as she stared at his room. Her chest tight and a pang of grief sweeping over her like a sheet.

A large hand gently laid on the small of her back, making her jump and turn to see Raph standing beside her. Her eyes had a glimmer of hope, something that he had seen several times before. One that made his own heart clench. But that had all but vanished as she saw who it was. That hope snuffed and her walls were back up once more.

"Listen, Kali. If yer not feelin' up for it, my brother's an' I can-"

"You can't do it without all of us, Raph. Besides, who else can be the faceman?" Kalani stated before she began to walk away and grab her blue sash.

Raph grabbed her hand, successfully ceasing her to move. His large thumb rubbing such soft circles that caused her to glance down at their hands. He lowered himself so he could look at her eyes that averted their gaze with his own. Kalani hated being seen vulnerable again, and with the anniversary of Leo's death it was her hardest time to get by or even be alone. Raph, knowing exactly what she was feeling, gently pulled her close to his plasteron and engulfed her in his strong arms. Her slender ones instinctively wrapped around his neck as he ran his hand up and down her back to comfort her.

"We care about ya, Kal. I care. Yer can't hide the pain. Raph ain't gonna let that happen again." He reassured her.

She let out a dry chuckle, allowing her fingers to gently stroke across the top of his head and rest on his shoulder. "I know. And I will never understand how you tolerate me and my tides of emotions."

It was Raph's turn to chuckle before pulling back and looking up at her. "Cause we were together for three years, Kal. Granted, it wasn't for us. But I still care for ya, as friends or as a couple. Yer part of the Hamato Clan, and that ain't changin' no time soon."

Smiling at one another, Raph stood up and kissed the crown of Kalani's head before escorting her to the Turtle Tank where Donnie and Mikey were already waiting for them. It was inevitable that Leo was gone, but Kalani knew that he would want her to continue with or without him. And now, sporting his blue bandana tied on her arm she took her seat in the tank and smirked at the brothers. It was time to kick some Foot Clan Ass.

OKAY I HAD THIS CRAZY 5 MIN DREAM LAST NIGHT ABT ECHO RAPH AND A BABY. CRAZY RIGHT? WANNA KNOWS WHATS EVEN CRAZIER? I WROTE A WHOLE ASS 19 PAGE STORY ABT IT FOR A DAY. I HAVE GONE PLACES.

Anyways here's the story lol. (It's is super long I am not joking) (super unrendered and angsty so read at your own risk)

Raph comes rushing into the lair one night, beaten and out of breath. Holding something making a lot of noise. Of course this wakes everyone up.

"Raph- What the hell-?!" a very drowsy Leo groans.

"Raph. What happened." Deadpans Donnie, straight to the point, as always. Mikey gasps when he sees the scrapes on his brothers body.

"Guys, guys! Give Raph some space! Jeez!" The turtle in question exclaims.

"Red? Is that... a baby?" splinter asks with a surprised look on his face.

Everyone in the room goes silent.

Except for Raph, he still breathing hard, but not dying so it's fine.

Raph lifts part of the dirty blanket holding the baby.

Everyone has their own reaction.

Leo's wasn't the best one.

"Raph!! Why the hell would you bring a baby to the sewers?!?" Leo whisper-yells.

Raph's face turns sullen as he looks a the now sleeping baby in his arms.

"His mother was killed." He says as his brow furrows in sadness.

"Oh no..." Mikey whispers.

"She was on the way home, and some muggers tried to take her purse. Obviously she fought back. But It was already too late when I heard the gunshot." Raph continued.

"What the muggers didn't realize was that she was holding a baby and not a purse. I was... I was so angry!"

A pause.

"I beat them up. Then I took the baby and ran here." Raph finishes.

Everyones face has changed into one of horror and sadness.

Raph sniffles, "I... I didn't know what to do..."

Splinter is the one who speaks up first, "My son..." he holds his arms out and closes the distance between them.

Raph's lip quivers as he kneels down to be hugged by his father.

His brothers join the hug, Raph sobs quietly.

...

Echo creeps into the lair, just to check up on her family. And Raph, especially Raph.

She closes her hand around Raph's, and silently notices the bandages scattered on his body. She breaths in his familiar scent, and looks worriedly at his puffy eyes.

What happened to you? She thinks to herself.

Then they hear the faint sound of crying.

Raph starts to stir, but echo calms him back down, "shh, shh, it's okay baby. I've got it, go back to sleep."

He obliges and goes back to sleep.

Echo finds the source of the noise very quickly. And gasps when they realizes what it is.

"A baby..." they whisper.

She carefully picks up the crying child and brings it closer to her chest.

"Shh, shh, it's okay, it's okay. I'm here." She hums as she gazes into its soft green eyes.

The baby calms down a little, and Echo realizes it might be hungry. So she makes her way over to the kitchen to find some formula.

She soon returns to the crib she found the baby at, and thinking to herself wow that was easy, must've been a plot convenient time skip.

She shifted their weight from foot to foot in a swaying motion as the baby drank the formula. She gazed at its eyes once more, as their eyelids drooped closed.

"What are you doing."

Echo jumped at the accusation. She turned to look at Donnie.

"Oh Donnie, it's you" she said with a sigh of relief

"You didn't answer my question."

"Oh. right, right, right, sorry" Echo waves her open hand In a 'whoops my mistake' kind of gesture, "I just wanted to check on you guys"

"And Raph?"

"yeah, and Raph." Echo blushes.

The two of them stood in silence, the third was still drinking from their bottle.

"What happened?" Echo asks after a long enough minute.

Donnie looks away from echo for a moment then answerers her question.

"I'll let Raph explain it to you."

Echo turns around and looks at their bandaged and bruised boyfriend, staring back at her with an slightly open mouth.

They both stay like that, staring, each having their own reaction to the sight of one another.

Raph is the one to speak up first, "you look beautiful."

"And thats my cue to leave" Donnie turns on his heel and quicky heads back towards his lab.

Echo exhales through their nose and rolls her eyes. This gets a chuckle out of Raph.

"So, about the baby," Raph starts.

"Ohh yes about the baby, you better start explaining yourself mister Red Angel of Preventing Harm." Echo says sarcastically.

Raph brings the hastily made crib over to the couch so both turtles can watch the child but still talk. Echo lays the now sleeping baby down in the crib.

Once Raph and Echo sit down, Echo's expectant eyes stare deeply into Raph's waiting for an explanation.

"So I was on patrol-" Raph starts.

Jokes aside, Raph thoroughly explained the baby's story, and by the end of it Echo was being held by their partner as she stared at the baby with a newly found sorrow.

"That's what happened?" Echo croaked softly.

"Yeah..." Raph was involuntarily rubbing Echo's shoulder as a way of comforting both echo and himself.

Raph stayed silent as Echo was processing the new information he gave her.

"Are you guys keeping her?" Echo asked softly.

Raph's throat made a rumbling sound, "No, Donnie says she wouldn't be safe if she stayed with us."

Echo pressed closer to Raph's body, and squeezed his bicep has she turned her head away from the crib.

"I know, I know, baby" Raph solemnly soothes.

"I... why..." Echo didn't have the right words to express how she felt, so all she could do was cry into her boyfriend's bandaged bicep.

Raph pulls her closer to his body, so no one would see her weakness sadness.

...

They don't know how long they've been up talking untill Mikey walks into the room.

"Oh, you guys are up early" Mikey says, surprised.

Raph whips his head around to look at his younger brother, "it's morning already?!?" He exclaimes.

Echo and Raph were previously watching the baby and letting her explore Echo's various scars and markings. Enjoying the little baby noises she makes sometimes.

The baby squeals, mimicking Raph's outburst.

"And you too!" Mikey coos, walking over to the couch to play with the baby's fingers.

Mikey looks back at the two older turtles and asks, "long night?"

"Didn't feel like it" Echo replies with a weak shrug.

Mikey does a double take as his eyes land on the dark circles surrounding his siblings eyes.

"Uh huh, and I have three arms" Mikey says sarcastically.

Raph snorts.

"But seriously, you guys need sleep." He deadpans.

"Ok ok we will, Mr. Wakes up at ungodly hours of the morning" Raph shoots back.

Mikey sticks out his tounge and picks up the baby and walks away.

Echo tilts their head back and stares drowsily at Raph's eyes. Raph looks down to stare at hers in turn.

"Yeah we do need sleep." Echo chuckles and starts to get up when Raph stops them.

"Ah ah ah, you need more sleep than I do. Please, allow me, my queen." Raph humbles.

Echo giggles, "Pip pip good knight"

They both giggle at their sleepy roleplay. Mikey smiles and rolls his eyes in the other room.

Raph carries his larger partner to his room and jokingly drops her on his bed. Echo exclaimes joyfully as her boyfriend playfully growls and crawls into bed.

"What a terrible knight! 0 out of 5 stars" Echo exclaims in a posh accent.

"Well, perhaps my lady needed a different kind of service" Raph replies in a similar accent.

"And what kind of service is that?" Echo questions.

"The best kind" Raph smiles and churrs into her plastron.

Echo churrs back in response, sleep overtaking her eyelids.

"Mmmmh yes, the best kind..." Echo trails off.

They both fall asleep in each other's arms. cheesy, yes I know, but it's cute and I like it so there.

*The end*

Oh you made it to the end? Good for you buddy, I'm sorry that you had to go through that. (Lol thanks fr sticking w/ it)

🎄~°Random Christmas Headcanons°~🎄

Since we are in this wonderful and cold time of the year I wanted to make some headcanons that came to my head.

~Everyone in General~

• Since this is quite a cold time for our turtles they look a bit lazier than usual in the mornings, so they will look for something warm to start the day.

° Leonardo will find a nice hot cup of tea to warm him up (most likely he will bring some to Splinter)

° Miguel Ángel makes enough hot chocolate for everyone, although his chocolate will be filled with whipped cream, chocolate chips and marshmallows (He's a tower of diabetes according to Raph)

° Donatello with such cold weather is the perfect excuse to drink tons of hot coffee (literally at that time of year Donnie's lab would smell quite like coffee)

° Raphael, even though he's a huge bear, won't admit it, he'll have a big cup of the hot chocolate that Mikey made, he'll put a couple of marshmallows on it to see how they melt slowly (he likes the flavor they leave in the chocolate at the end).

• Everyone is allowed to stay up late at this time, Splinter understands that his children need to sleep a little longer.

• Because of their shells they don't have enough clothes to cover themselves, so they each cover themselves with a huge shawl of their respective colors (courtesy of Raph, Splinter has one too).

• April becomes their savior bringing them some groceries and hot pizza.

• Casey goes there often and when April explained to her about what this season is like for the boys she gave them each a few blankets (At that time he was the most loved by the boys, but they will never tell him).

• Heavens let's not forget the Christmas decorations, once it starts playing on the Christmas news channel everyone tries to turn it off or change it, the reason is easy... Mikey goes crazy.

° He is the most excited for wanting to decorate the entire den, which sometimes he sees as a challenge, if you thought that the limit is the floor, because he cannot decorate the floor, you are wrong, I fill the entire floor of the den with cotton to that looks like snow, no one knows how but I manage to make a stuffed snowman, I even beg Raph to make a wooden reindeer, every year they set limits on where he can decorate his brother in orange.

Mikey: Like I can't touch the exercise room?

Raph: I don't want a fucking sphere hitting my face when I lift the weights again

Mikey: The kitchen either?

Donnie: Last time the decorations nearly burned down and caused a fire.

Mikey: Come on bros! Don't limit my spirit!

• After a couple of days the spirit begins to enter each of the turtles.

° Leonardo being surrounded by so many Christmas decorations one day he goes out to look for a tree, everyone hides immediately when his brother decides to look for the tree (no one likes to accompany the leader).

Mikey: Come on bro, just pick one!

Leo: It has to be perfect, it cannot be taken lightly

Raph: We've been watching Leo for half an hour!

Leo: And it will take two hours if they don't stop complaining

Donnie: Technically if we stay out in the cold any longer we could start to go into a state of hibernation.

Mikey: Quick Leo, my butt is freezing!

(Conclusion: Nobody likes to go with Leo to look for the tree)

• The next one will be Donatello, he justifies himself by saying that he looks too "dark", so he is in charge of illuminating the whole den, but he doesn't like lights that have that high-pitched music (he doesn't let him work in peace).

° Donnie's lighting is quite easy on the eyes, he modified some series of lights so that they will light up mainly in Purple, blue, red and orange, although he also gets very excited with them at times.

Leo: Donnie, I really appreciated your work on the ornaments but... Is it really necessary to put lights on my bonsai?

Donnie: They look good, don't they? , Although I thought you had another

Leo: I think Mikey's drum kit would look great with your lights.

Donnie: I knew I was missing something.(Leo should always hide the bonsai babies from his genius brother)

• Lastly, Raphael, although he was actually the first to get into the Christmas spirit but he will never admit it, he makes some knitted garments for his brothers, father and his friends.

° And let me tell you that he has some very interesting ways to get some measurements in case they are necessary.

Raph: *Staring at Mikey*

Mikey: Hey bro, how much do you look at me?

Raph: I was thinking how much space does your brain have in that huge head?

Mikey: MY HEAD IS PERFECT!

Raph: *Proceeds to grab him by the head and shake him* I think I can hear your little brain bouncing *he lets go to go like nothing*

Mikey: Why is the lair moving? *falls dizzy*

Raph: his head grew half a centimeter, a hat will fit him(he begins pestering each of his siblings to get his measurements, though his siblings are only left confused by their brother Red's sudden actions)

• At this time Splinter always reads them a Christmas story, although the favorite is always the story "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, when they got to know the movies each one had a favorite version

Leo and Donnie- Scrooge's ghosts (Both really enjoy the character designs)

Mikey- A Muppet Christmas (he has a lot of fun watching it)

Raph- A Christmas Carol (prefers the 1984 classic)

•There is always a night of anecdotes, it was not officially inaugurated, it just pops up from one moment to another, everyone gets together one night to be able to talk about funny or memorable anecdotes that have happened on those dates.

April, Casey have the funniest and best anecdotes yet, but they're a little bored by Vern's anecdotes.

Bayverse Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles One-shot 🐢 💙❤️💜🧡

Camping Trip 🏕 Part 2 Thalassophobia 😱

Summary:The turtles are going on a camping trip and invited you to come with them, during the camping trip the turtles find out that you can't swim.

Warning:Female reader has anxiety and thalassophobia. (which is the persistent and intense fear of deep bodies of water such as the sea, oceans, or lakes)

Inspired: by the Bayverse turtles finding out that you don't know how to swim so they offer to teach you imagine.

Part 1 is here 🙌

You were sleeping peacefully when all of a sudden your slumber was disturbed...

"Pst.. dudette, it's time to wake up!" an excited voice said while trying to be quiet as possible.

Not ready to wake up just yet, you rolled over with a groan while mumbling something earning a sigh from your waker.

"C'mon, angel cakes you don't wanna be late for your swimming lessons.." then added, "Or Leo will start using his authoritative voice."

A very long groan falls from your mouth as you rolled over again and... SMACK!!

"OW! Turtle with a nosebleed! Turtle with a nosebleed! Turtle with a nosebleed!" Mikey exclaimed while holding his snout as he walks out of your tent with you trailing behind him a cloth in hand to stop the bleeding. "Oh, Mikey I am so so sorry." catching the three terrapin's attention "What da' shell happen?!" Raph questioned. "I may have accidentally elbowed poor Mikey here in the snout." you confessed sheepishly while Donnie goes into 'doctor mode' and checks his little brother's snout, "Is it broken?" Mikey asked.

🐢💙🐢❤️🐢💜🐢🧡🐢💙🐢❤️🐢💜🐢🧡🐢🩵

Leo expected it to be a bit of a challenge on teaching you, how to swim.. but what he didn't expect was, how stubborn you are to go IN the water. First, you wouldn't go into the lake because you said that "the water is too cold" while Mieky is swimming on his back and shouted "What are you talking about cupcake?! The water feels fine, dudette!" You just looked at him, incredulously, and now you're saying that "the water isn't even your element and you should stay on the ground, where it's safe with a good book."

So the blue-masked terrapin figured he'd start your lesson off with some breathing exercises to help with your anxiety. Once you've calmed down and relaxed enough to go in the lake, he had you in an area where it's shallow enough that your feet can still touch the bottom. Leo is floating in front of you while Raph is behind you, both of the two oldest terrapins are only a few inches away from you making you swim back in forth. While Mikey is on your far left and Donnie is on your right cheering you on. Every time you would swim towards Leo while Raph would swim behind you making sure to keep a distance so he doesn't bump into you but still close by just in case. Then repeat the same routine, when they have you swim back to Raph with Leo moving in behind you while they praise you each time.

You were starting to get the hang of it and were making another lap towards Leo but, he accidentally went out a little too far this time causing you to have a whiplash from your past and start having a panic attack. All four of the turtles were trying to calm you down but you were too far gone to even hear them, like torpedoes the four terrapins went underwater to save you from drowning. The Leader and Hothead ended up headbutting each other before going back up when they didn't find you 'Where the shell did you go?!' both of them thought, "RAPH!?", "LEO!?" the two alpha males growled at each other, as the youngest terrapin pop back up shouting "MIKEY!!" while the tech-turtle frantically searches for you. Unbeknownst to them, you were perfectly fine, well.. besides the fact that your practically holding on to Donnie's shell trembling like a leaf with wide eyes.

🐢💙🐢❤️🐢💜🐢🧡🐢💙🐢❤️🐢💜🐢🧡🐢🩵

The five of you - scratch that the four of you decided to huddle up by the fire for the rest of the evening telling stories while Mikey makes dinner and Leo sulks away alone in his tent. Donnie was talking about something.. you weren't paying attention since you were worrying over Leo. You should've told them and the whole thing could've been avoided instead of chickening out.. and poor Leo wouldn't be in his tent sulking, let alone giving the boys a damn heart attack. As the saying goes 'shoulda coulda woulda' and what's done is, done. All you could do now is learn from your mistakes and move on, letting out a sigh as Raph nudged your shoulder gently "Ya 'kay there, short-stack?" he asked with a concerned look on his face.

When you didn't say anything Raphael followed your gaze that lead to Leonardo's tent then, grunted before patting you on the back as he spoke "He'll come 'round. Even if it means I have to drag 'em out myself." You couldn't help but smile at the last part cause he would do that too "Dinner is served, dudes and dudette!" Mikey exclaimed carrying a container of lasagna. While Michelangelo makes a plate for everyone Leonardo finally comes out of his tent and drops to his knees in front of you with his head down "I'm sorry.. " he started refusing to make eye contact with you. Shaking your head at him and said with a frown "You're, not the one that should be apologizing.. " not hearing what you said, Leo continued "Your right, I pushed you too hard and - wait, what?" The three younger turtles watch while eating their food "I'm sorry, I should've said something sooner.." you confessed quietly while looking down ashamed. Three green fingers gently grip your chin and lift your face to meet a pair of ocean-blue eyes "Why didn't you?" Leo asked quietly.

Why didn't you?... you wondered while narrowing your gaze away from the blue-masked terrapin to stare at the ground instead. Before whispering your response so quietly that you couldn't even hear yourself, the turtles sure did. "I didn't want to be a burden to ya.." a loud gasp came from Mikey followed by the sound of lasagna dropping on the ground "What the shell are ya' talkin' 'bout short-stack?!" Raph exclaimed while jumping to his feet with a grunt. Donnie stares at you in shock wide-eyed, mouth open and fork in hand stopping midway you stoled a glance towards Leo to see him looking at you with an unreadable expression.

The next thing you know you're getting tackled in a hug by Michelangelo, the two of you tumbling backward and landing with a thud causing you to let out an "Oof.." sound. "You're not a burden to us, dudette! So don't ever think that!" the orange-masked terrapin declared, "I hate to say it but... Mikey's right, short-stack." Raphael said while removing the said turtle off of you, then added "Ya' not a burden to us. " Leonardo helps you up but refuses to let go of you as he speaks next, "Yeah, you mean too much to us- " the blue-masked terrapin gets interrupted by Donatello finally spoke while setting his plate of food aside as he got up "We're willing to do anything for you, no questions asked."

You stared at him in shock and whispered in disbelief "Really?.. ", "Really... " Leo clarified as you looked at them to find the three terrapin brothers nod their heads at their brother. While your mind is processing all this new-found information the blue-masked terrapin added, "Just tell us next time, please?" a smile starts to form on your face as you nodded your head "Okay." Then Mikey shouts excitedly, "GROUP HUG!!" blushing furiously as you get squished between the four giant terrapins.. until the moment ended too soon when Raph said, "A'right enough of this mushy stuff, let's eat."

Throne and Sickle Ch.2

Chapter 2: Sweat Tea Manners

Turtle bros x fem!parkour!reader

Summary: In which the turtles record their training one fateful night, and find the rooftops hold stories with a beginning...and an end.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Author Note: I hope everyone is staying warm! It's cold out here. Please enjoy Chapter 2!

Disclaimer: I don’t own ROTTMNT, sigh.

A daydream is an evasion... - Thomas Merton

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

If the morning consisted of a bright sun, warm and not harsh, if the birds chirped their pretty songs, or the plant leaves were covered from the dew drops, if the level of noise pollution was less compared to the other times of the day, only the morning birds knew. It was early enough for anyone barely get out of the warmth of their bedsheets. And alas, warm light streaming from the kitchen coupled with the faintest tunes of humming could be heard where an orange terrapin poured batter onto a sizzling pan.

With the many hours of sleep (that could technically count as hibernation), Mikey was physically up to par. The entirety of planning Supernova didn’t allow a decent alternative to avoid being so drained, and he could still feel the eraser shavings all over his floor from pages ripped, pages crumpled, pages smudged full of past ideas. Putting aside a mental note to create papier-mâché with those later, Mikey pondered. Everything played out much better than he hoped, at least.

Well. Almost everything.

Chopping up some bananas, he chewed his inner cheek. Mikey remembered: woke up in his bed around the late hours and hearing his bros hushed whispers from the main room. He would’ve gone right back to sleep had he not heard their Pop’s voice join in. Last time that rat woke up for squat he snuck out of the lair in ugly clothes. He sat up and rubbed his eyes when Leo peeked inside his room. Mikey asked what happened, only for him to shrug it off with ‘we’ll talk about it in the morning’, coaxing his baby brother back to sleep afterwards.

Allowing for the pancakes to finish, he moved on to slice avocado. Where Mikey loved pancakes and fruit, Donnie always preferred avocado toast topped with tomato and three cups of dark roast (those ratios dear Lord). Mikey to this day has to fight him to eat some more fruits. Raph enjoyed anything as long as there was sausage- it needed to have meat, Raph told him. Leo barely strayed from Mikey’s special omelettes- mushrooms and bell peppers were nonnegotiable. It didn’t bother Mikey much, at least he enjoyed a mountain of chopped bananas with it. Pops was traditional: give the man a small cup of tea, steamed rice, miso soup, and tamagoyaki and he was off to a great day.

Mikey flipped the pancake over. Breakfast was soft pancakes and berries, as warm as they would be in the sun, maple syrup threaded upon the top with a gallop of butter. It remained his favorite breakfast, but it had nothing to do with the food. He loved it because he was surrounded by his family at that time of day, because there was softness and vulnerability shared before the events of training and battles and enemies caught up to their brains. Compared to dinner there’s the same sentiment however by then everyone is too exhausted, and their thoughts are a befuddled mess. It’s odd how emotions are transferred. Mikey smiled, soft and small. Whatever was going on…he’d offer all the food he could make to keep them happy.

“Hey, Angelo.”

The orange terrapin turned to the doorway to find his brother yawning still…equipped with gear-“Tell me you did not pull an all-nighter again, Donnie.”

He shrugged, “There was no way to silence the genius that is my brain.”

Mikey put his hands on his hips, unimpressed. Donnie avoided his reprimanding gaze, sucking his teeth, “Sigh. Alright fine. I’ll set up appropriately for bed tonight.”

Mikey smiled, “Good.”

At that moment Splinter and Raph entered the kitchen where the former hopped up to the chair unaffected from the early morning hour, being a morning person himself as Raph gave Mikey a head pat.

“Morning! Where’s Leo?” Mikey swatted Raph away when he stole a few berries from the bowl.

“He went to pick up April. Just a heads up in case she hasn’t eaten anything yet.” Raph muffled, mouthful of berries. Mikey nodded, pouring a second batch of pancakes onto the pan. He sprinkled some chocolate kisses in the batter and a few of Leo’s banana slices when a blue portal appeared at the doorway. Leo trudged through with a sleepy April tucked under his arm rolled in a pink blanket, accompanied by Mayhem. Donnie snorted at this, grabbing a second mug from the cabinet above the coffee maker as Mikey set everyone’s plates on the table.

“Morning Leo! April still out, huh?” Said turtle groaned, setting April upright in a chair and settled himself beside the girl. He flicked her forehead, jolting her awake.

“This girl could sleep through a demolition on her own building! I’m so done with morning pick-ups.”

“So, anyone gonna tell me what happened last night?” April yawned, cutting into her pancakes. Mikey turned to them, fork stopped halfway in the air. Donnie sipped his coffee with a finger up.

“Well,” he started, “we have reason to believe the Robin Hoods know…about us.”

Her neck should’ve snapped in half with how she turned so fast, seriously. “You mean- hold up we’re talking about that parkour group right? Same guys making cops run around like crazy?”

Raph nodded as he cut into his egg with a sigh, “We don’t know exactly much, either. We got through Mikey’s showcase, he passed out. Next thing we know someone was watching us without the cameras picking up on ‘em. Last thing she did was leave a note with ‘S.O.S.’ on it and coordinates with a date.”

Mikey blinked in surprise, “Aw man! I missed all that? So then are we going?”

“Absolutely not.”

Everyone faced Donnie.

“What is disturbing is their motive, not to mention the many variables in question. How long have they known, why was this Robin Hood alone, their purpose of their group, does it affect us in a negative light? Too many questions and no answers.”

Mikey hummed, “Yeah, but if that girl came alone then that might mean her group doesn’t know?”

April shook her head, “That’s not always the case, Mikey. Sometimes a group can send one of their own as a middleman- the messenger of sorts.”

“True…”

Leo pointed a fork covered in omelette at Donnie, “Then how about we send our own middleman? Not one of us, obviously, but S.H.E.L.D.O.N? You said he’s got all the cams, the feeds, Megan Fox’s phone number for pizza’s sake,” he waved the fork, “we could totally use those to see what they want.”

Donnie crossed his arms, one hand covering his chin in thought. While that was true, he didn’t know if their numbers would be a problem. A hacker on their team was the last thing he needed. Not that he wouldn’t wipe the floor with them but still. One of their best surviving attributes included stealth- it’s how they remained hidden for so long- and now that somehow these Robin Hoods know, it just didn’t sit right.

Donnie relented, “Very well. I’m going to retrieve the cubes first and go over a few things before we do anything.”

“Sounds Gucci to me,” Leo grinned, “I’ll come with. Last thing we need is for people to spot a purple UFO. Donnie’s got enough of that E.T look to him.”

This earned a cube of tomato to the forehead. The others remained silent, peacefully eating while watching the other go back and forth with each other.

Splinter swallowed his tamagoyaki, “So, my sons. When do they request to meet?”

“Midnight Friday.”

April swallowed her food, “That won’t be for another three days. How about in the meantime I scope around the city, ask around and get the deets?”

Splinter nodded, “And I will search the hidden city.”

Raph nodded, “Great idea. Let us know any updates.” He gave a thumbs up in her direction.

And with that, conversation soon trailed off into different topics as they enjoyed their meals. Mikey felt a hand on his head and turned to face Splinter. He smiled.

“I heard you did a wonderful job, Orange. Soon you will be as spontaneous as Lou Jitsu!”

Mikey laughed, “Thanks, Dad. Now stop taking my berries, I saw you take them with your tail!”

“I recall no such thing.”

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Clinking of teacups, mugs, and metal spoons as they twirled drinks into perfection were the makeshift alarms for rousing New Yorkers in the diner, hushed conversations shared so as to not disturb other customers. Streams of golden light were beginning to peak over buildings, creating a rainbow of colors if it passed through glass of any kind but no warmth could be felt yet. It was too early. Outside the diner, shop owners could be seen pushing metal port doors up, rumbling as they rolled into place. Other early risers were getting a jog in or a bike ride, or just barely heading out to work before the morning rush. Cab drivers lined up against the curb on standby.

“Good morning, sugar. Can I get you something to drink to start off?” A sweet, middle-aged dark-skinned woman asked, a notepad in hand. She untucked the miniature pencil from behind her ear.

“A coffee, please. Vanilla creamer if you have any.”

Scribbling, she nodded. “Of course. Are we ready to order or you need a minute?”

“I need a few minutes, if that’s alright.”

She smiled, warm and understanding, “You take your time. Seems a little early for a high school student to be out. Studying for an exam?”

“U-uhm, no. I graduated a long time ago.”

The waitress blinked, “Hush your mouth! Baby you look like you’re fresh out of the oven. Now what kind of skincare do you use? Spare me some of those secrets?”

This earned a lighthearted laugh, “I get that a lot, but you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you.”

“Mhmm, I hear ya. I’ll go get that coffee right out for you, sweetheart.” With a wink, the waitress left. She greeted the chef over the counter who nodded his head to her customer.

“Morning, Udora. Miss give you her order?”

Udora shook her head, brewing a fresh pot of coffee. “No not yet, but table three is still waiting on their eggs, Alan.”

“Ah, geez!” He scrambled to scramble the eggs, the silly cowboy. “I gotta say, I’ve seen that girl around these parts a few times. For all the clouds I’ve seen in Texas, there’s never been someone with their head in them as much as her.”

Udora sighed, “You of all people know it is never our business to meddle. Our job is to give these kind customers their meals. Your mama never told you ‘nun?” she teased.

Alan rolled his bluebell eyes, scratching his scruffy beard. “All I’m saying is young people should be enjoyin’ life, getting some girlfriends and boyfriends, going on dates, and buying clothes. They’re all worried too much these days. Too young to stare out windows like Miss over there.”

Udora smiled. Alan was an old diamond in the rough, but she’d never tell him that. He’d just respond with ‘what do I need diamonds for, just get me a can of beer and a radio’. Alan was an ex-marine, born and raised on Texas soil who yearned for a fresh start, and found himself here in Maraschino’s where somewhere in time found himself a friend in Udora. She herself sought out a new beginning in her prime, away from New Orleans. They’ve seen thousands of faces, heard a million stories, and always wondered where fate took people. In this morning’s mysterious customer, they had a feeling it was one of those times when life became everything at once. Udora glanced towards the booth; a petite little thing she was. She leaned against a hand over her mouth, peering out with a glazed look, the other hand curling around her arm. It wasn’t that cool out to warrant a jacket, but Udora worried she’d catch a cold with just a thin long sleeve. Not hair out of place, not a wrinkle on her skin but the shadows Udora herself fought to escape in her years made her appear… haunted, despite sitting in the glow of the sunlight streaming through windows. Udora prayed, as she set the coffee mug in front of the young woman, that she’d be able to feel the warmth of the sun one day.

“Here you go, baby. Anything to go with that coffee?” She coaxed. The young woman welcomed the mug with a grateful smile and pointed to the menu.

“Yes, I’ll have your pancakes and fruit please.”

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Graaaagh okay, longer than a bit. But, I just can’t figure out how to wrap this one up. So here it shall live unless something else happens lol.

Also, pls forgive any formatting issues trying this on mobile is hard

CW: angst

Splinter tried his best to instill a healthy sleep schedule into his sons at an early age. It helped the sudden father of four get some much needed quiet time at the late hours of the night.

Raph could easily stay up late whenever he wanted to. But the snapper was eager to please, and soon found that if he did not stick to his sleeping schedule then he would be rather irritated throughout the morning.

Donnie could stay awake for a while, especially if he had a project he was passionate about. He could stay awake for days if left to his own devices. But, he quickly would lose track of whatever he was doing and would solder his own hand to his face if someone didn’t stop him.

Mikey adored staying up late with his brothers. Many late-night shenanigans held a special place in his heart. However, he was the opposite of Raph. If he wasn’t getting to sleep when he was tired at night, he became unbearably cranky.

And most nights, Leo couldn’t sleep if you paid him. It’s not like he didn’t try. He was just as eager to please as Raph, but his body never would lay still regardless of his efforts. Inevitably, Splinter, or whoever else was awake at the moment, would find Leo wandering the halls. He would watch Spanish soaps with his father long after the rat man fell asleep himself. Drink tea with Raph, ramble with Donnie in his lab, and play video games with Mikey. It all ended with Leo helping the other to their actual bed.

But it did help Leo develop a particular skill. The turtle became a master at power naps. If he could prop his head up against something, Leo could sleep for as long as his body would let him. Everyone else has at least one picture of blackmail of Leo sleeping in a position that threatened his carefully curated cool guy image.

Though there was also a special, oh-so-rare, sweet spot that Leo’s brothers adored. And that was: a sleepy Leo.

It happened almost completely at random. Donnie had tried to develop a formula to predict when this special version of Leo would appear, but to no avail. All of his data points might as well have been from a random number generator. But what was known was this: there were times when Leo’s exhaustion and insomnia held each other in perfect balance. Unable to fall asleep, but actually feeling tired enough to do so. When this happened, his brothers made an invaluable discovery.

Leo could not lie.

You could only ask him yes or no questions. Anything that would require him to think for more than a moment would usually tip the delicate balance back over to Leo being more awake than asleep. But…

Donnie was walking to the kitchen when he passed by Leo. The slider was laying down on the couch, head propped up on the armrest. There was a Lou Jitsu movie playing, one of the older ones that they had all seen countless times before.

“You’re watching this one again?” Donnie called out as he rummaged through the fridge.

“Uh-huh,” Leo responded.

“Color me shocked. Didn’t we just watch it yesterday?” Donnie turned around with an armful of sandwich supplies.

“Uh-huh.”

He peered around to look at his twin. Leo’s glazed over eyes were half open, and he was breathing through his mouth.

“You’re not tired?” Donnie asked very, very carefully.

“Nuh-uh.”

Taking out his phone and texting the group chat with only Raph, Mikey, and himself, Donnie gave a noncommittal hum as he walked over to a bean bag chair. He was just out of Leo’s sight as he asked,

“So, did you actually eat the last of Raph’s ice cream?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jackpot

Donnie saw Mikey and Raph speeding towards him, before slowing down to a purposefully nonchalant walk into the kitchen.

“Hey, Lee!” Mikey chirped, “Did you break my skateboard?”

“Uh-huh.”

Raph smothered irate complaints from the box shell as Donnie asked, “Did you portal to California by yourself? For their comic-con?”

It was risky having it be such a long question. But…

“Uh-huh.”

He was so going to rat him out to Splinter!

“Did you really oversleep for training last time?” Raph asked.

“Nuh-uh.”

Their eldest brother’s mood darkened, and Donnie shared a look with Mikey. None of them had been going to those training sessions. They had both stopped once it was clear Leo wasn’t going to bother either. Not that they didn’t love Raph, it was just… Donnie just wasn’t sure what they needed to even train for. They easily beat all their foes together.

“Do you like spending time with us?” Mikey asked as he wiggled his face free from Raph’s hold.

“Uh-huh.”

Donnie thought for a moment, “And you like going on missions with us?”

“Uh-huh.”

At this point, Raph seemed much more relaxed as he released Mikey.

Their baby brother cooed, “Aww, Leo, you love us!”

“Uh-huh.”

Breaking out his phone, Donnie began recording the scene for blackmail. But it was done too late. Mikey was too swept up in the moment as he teased, “C’mon, Leo! Tell us all how much you love us!”

Leo groaned and rolled on the couch to look at his brothers with bleary eyes, “Raaaph, ‘m tired.”

Ah, that was game then.

Raph’s face went overly soft as he scooped Leo up to take him back to his room, even as Donnie and Mikey gave light protests to the end of their fun.

Donnie remembers asking once, why that would always get him. Because that’s what would happen every single time. That’s all Leo would have to say, and Raph would take him to bed no matter how much fun they were having.

“Aww, what? I’d like to see you two bozos do any better. You know as well as I do that Leo doesn’t get any sleep. So when he starts talkin’ like that, it’s not just me bein’ soft. I don’t think there’s a force on this planet that could keep Leo awake when he’s like that. Least I can do is to lay him down and make ‘em comfy.”

“I’ll drive, you two keep him steady!” Donnie barked as he successfully hotwired a random delivery van they had found closest to Staten Island, “We’ll be back home in less than thirty. And keep him awake!”

Leo lay on the floor of the van, head in Raph’s lap as Mikey fussed over both of them. Everyone had some bandages from Leo’s pouch over the worst of their injuries, but they all needed professional help an hour ago.

“Are you feeling okay? Are you in any pain?” Mikey asked.

“I’m okay, just a little pain,” Leo grinned, “How bout you guys?”

“We’re gonna be okay now, Leo,” Raph rumbled. He had been beyond hesitant and reluctant to touch Leo, but his arms were in the best state and were not currently driving.

The rumbling of the old van was the only thing they heard for the next few miles. Donnie sped around potholes and abandoned vehicles, trying to go as fast and smoothly as possible.

“Don’t fall asleep,” Donnie heard Raph chastise as Mikey let out a noise of an alarm.

“Uh!” Mikey tried, “Do you want me to make you some food when we get back home?”

“Uh-huh,” Leo gritted out as Donnie accidentally ran too fast over a speed bump.

“We can play some video games together. Would you like that?” Mikey tried again and

“Uh-huh,” Leo huffed.

Mikey’s voice kept getting shakier and shakier, “And then we all can hang out together! Doesn’t that sound nice?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Nardo,” Donnie called out, “Hey, c’mon, really talk to me. You’re in pain, right? What’s hurting? Where-”

“Nuh-uh.”

What?

“What does that mean?” Donnie shot back, “You’re not gonna talk to me? You gotta-”

“You’re not in any pain?” Raph asked in a voice far too high-pitched.

“Uh-huh.”

The air in the van suddenly became far too cold.

Donnie was flooring it now, smooth ride be damned.

“Keep talking, dum-dum,” Donnie demanded as Mikey began making these awful, choked-off sounds that couldn’t be sobs, “Tell me about something. About anything. Just keep talking and-”

“Raaaph,” Leo quietly wined, his one unswollen eye barely looking up at his big brother, “‘m tired.”

Everyone’s reaction was immediate.

“Don’t fall asleep!”

May I offer a prompt of how the turtles would be with a mom friendTM? you know the type I mean? like.... I think they might benefit from that kind of friend in the group lol (also I love your stories, your such a cool writer keep up the awesome work!)

Rottmnt headcanon: mom friend TM

And thanks so much!

Mom friends are severely underrated XD

——

-Okay these boys need a mom friend badly

-but that’s where you come in!

-as the mom friend you keep them safe in many ways

Donnie💜

-starting with this guy, he never really wanted a mom friend

-when April first brought you over he was cold

-didn’t even bother talking to you

-you were determined to befriend him, even though he left whenever you tried to talk to him

-you became comfortable with the turtles quickly and the others accepted your mom friend nature

-not Donnie though

-he didn’t hate you, sure, but you were too much

-you were too overbearing and too nervous for his safety!

-you’d make him wear a helmet when he used his jet pack

-you made him put on SUNSCREEN whenever he went outside

-you told him to be careful when rewiring a project even!

-it’s like you wanted to ruin his bad boy image

-he hated it and wanted you to stop being so smothering

-…

-…until he realized that attention and moral support comes with the smothering

-the moment he realizes that he’s all for it

-he’s no longer hiding his inventions from you so you won’t bug him, but he’s seeking you out for your advice and praise

“Hey so I made this and… I don’t know…”

“Wow you built that? It’s awesome!”

“Really? I mean, I know, I just wanted to show you that it was.”

-praise ain’t something this boy has

-have you SEEN how his brothers react to his ideas?

-he needs this

-with praise comes affection

-I’m talking homemade snacks and questions that his brothers never ask

-you’re there if he needs a cup of coffee or if he hasn’t eaten in a while or taken a nap

-“don, it’s been two days since you slept go to bed.”

-“*hissssss*”

-“I’ll make a cup of coffee for you after...?”

-“*hisses but less intense*”

-you may be good at making snacks and everything

-very good in facts

-but the questions are probably his favorite part

“Woah what’s that supposed to do?”

“Well it’s a device that’s meant to fix all the broken McDonald’s ice cream machines.”

“That’s amazing! What did you use to build it? How does it work?”

-you’re actually trying to learn about his work!

-you’re trying to learn about him!

-he loves it

-and he loves that you’re careful to

-it’s a nice change from his brothers

-you’re someone he can depend on

-doesn’t matter if it’s missions or just being a good friend

-and I mean it when I say depend

-you’re there when he needs help rewiring something or just to simply talk about his dumb dumb brothers

-honestly April isn’t even mad that Donnie stole one of her best friends

-she knows he needs this

-Donnie fully learned to trust you after the purple dragons mishap

-you told him they were untrustworthy but his heart was dead set on that satin jacket

-when he came back to the lair, late at night, with no satin jacket and a handful of his missing tech, he found you raising an eyebrow at him from where you had sat to wait for him

-he knew from then on to trust you and your opinions, even though his often got in the way

-you can often be found sitting on Donnies bed while he works, offering your company and comments

-Normally no one else is allowed in while he works but that’s just because they don’t have anything positive to provide

Raph❤️

-Raph IS the mom friend

-your mom friend energy and his mom friend energy just work together so well together

-I’m talking planning missions together, figuring new ways to trick his brothers into being responsible, cleaning the dishes, and even making snacks together

-“so the mission is tomorrow right?”

-“yep! Should we bring apples with peanut butter or pretzels with hummus?”

-“well Donnie doesn’t like peanut butter, but Mikey does, so both?”

-“awesome! And you’ve got the water covered?”

-“dude I even have caprisuns packed so we’re ready!”

-the others find it to be too much with the two of you but Raph really appreciates the help

-especially during the pizza puff episode

-oh that part nearly set you on fire with worry

-Raph had never seen you that worked up

-you had a fan for Leo, a bowl for Mikey, and a bag of fruit snacks for Donnie

-Raph has to activate his supreme mom friend energy to get you to stop hovering over them

-that meant literally dragging you away from them so they could figure things out on their own

-he’s seen you be a mom friend to them all the time

-but never once for him

-you two were like... co mom friends working together to stop the younger irresponsible three

-until Raph got separated in the sewer

-oh man you were torn with worry

-you nearly destoryed the place looking for him

-and finding him all savage like that... ack that was enough to practically shatter your heart in two

-once he stopped trying to barbecue villains and destroy his brothers you took him to the lair and helped him calm down

-you even turned on a movie for the two of you so he could relax

-it was nice to have your best friend and partner in stopping crime back

-Raph of course was embarrassed because it’s HIS job to help everyone, not the other way around

-after much assurance you had him convinced that you didn’t mind

-he was grateful to have you and your help

-he just wished you didn’t worry quite so much

Leo 💙:

-this boy is soaking it all up from the start

-someone to compliment him?

-someone to help him out?

-someone to admire his achievements?

-oh he’s all for it

-he’s showing off skateboard stunts, he’s doing flips, and he’s randomly pulling you to him and creating a portal

-usually you end up somewhere sketchy but sometimes it works out

-you always have to be ready though

-one minute you’re walking to the projector room and the next you’re in New Jersey with a sheepish looking red slider

-his only problem is now he has to be more careful with skateboard tricks

-he’s fine with a helmet but when it comes to you hovering next to him while he’s going down the skate ramp...

-eh he’s not so fond of that

-praise?

-sure

-home made gifts and cards?

-always appreciated

-but you constantly trying to protect him from things he knew how to do?

-no

-just no

-now he only feels like he can skate if you’re not there or if he goes to a skate park without telling you

-you figure out quickly and still worry that he’ll mess up a flip

-doesn’t matter if you’re watching or not

-you’re the mom friend

-your job is to worry

-you promised that you’d stop worrying about him if he can back

-you didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable in his own home!

-he agreed and you did your best to keep your promise

-...

-until he actually messed up a flip

-you don’t know WHAT he landed on but it must have been sharp because there was a LOT of blood

-maybe you thought there was a lot because you were so worried but still

-you hadn’t even been in the room but you heard his shout (and crash) and you came running

-oh he was lucky you carried gauze and everything in your bag because other wise they’d have to go buy some

-you chewed him out while patching him up, much to his displeasure

-you’re both sweet and sour about it

-“I’m fine! Look, nothing’s broken!”

-“I TOLD you that you could get hurt! I TOLD you it wasn’t safe! Why did you not listen- I’m sorry does that hurt? I’m sorry!”

-“yeah it does hurt-.”

-“than you should have listened to me!!”

-for a while he’s bitter that you were just waiting for him to mess up

-clearly you thought he was just a big clutz to you

-but after a while of him avoiding you and pouting you brought it up again

-“I’m not just waiting for you to fail you know. I just want you to be okay.”

-“that’s not what it feels like! You clearly don’t trust me!”

-“life happens, Leo! Doesn’t matter how skilled you are! You’re an amazing skater but sometimes mistakes are made!”

-ha that changed his tune quickly

-“you think I’m an amazing and skilled skater?

-you just rolled your eyes and left, not saying anything about his comment

-didn’t matter

-this boy is all smiles for the rest of the day

Mikey🧡:

-he was on board from the very start

-he’s got cuddles, piggy back rides, and his own art fan/critic

-lots of baking and cooking together

-maybe even drawing if he’s lucky

-only problem?

-you don’t trust him to go out on his own

-even if it’s just to grab a video game from the store or pick up pizza

-“I’m just going down the block!”

-“what if someone sees you?”

-“I’ll be careful!”

-“just let me go with you.”

-“no! I can do this on my own!”

-you’re always offering to give him a ride or tag along just because you don’t want anything to happen to him

-that means, of course, sneaking out

-not for a long time, just enough to get some air

-but that also means you’re staying up late waiting for him to come back

-he’s your buddy!

-you can’t let anything happen to him!

-he didn’t know about it until he found you cashed out on the couch with the lamp still on

-normally you gave him an excuse about why you were still up, such as a late night snack or a movie

-but your phone and the tv were both off

-he decided to think nothing of it until he noticed that you were grumpier in the mornings

-he didn’t want his actions to affect you so he started coming back earlier

-even texting you and telling you he was fine

-you two talked and set up a deal
