「Feel the magic ๛ l.n」

part iii

✧.* things with lando get serious quickly and while your'e going through a rollocoaster of emotions with everything that's going on the public voices their own opinion.

✧.* this was supposed to be a cutesy, fluffy series but would it really be a landonfour story if it doesn't turn angsty? 💀 reader is older. Taglist is open. I always see your requests to be added to the list in the comments and I do add you but if you can't find your name in the list, it's probably because I was unable to tag you and therefore put you off the list.

hey bbyyy! i am back with another request! 🙈 i saw the feitan one, but i couldn’t read it cause you said it was spicy 😩😩 but hey it’s hunter x hunter! and i immediately wanted a killua fic from you 🥺🥺

so hear me out, it’s like canon events where they go on adventures and follow gon around as he tries to track down his horrible dad. reader took the hunter exam with the gang and befriends everyone and gains a stupid kid-crush on killua! and killua gains a crush on reader too, and it’ll be a super sweet and comedic romance cause they’re only twelve ya’know! we can expect petty fights and teasing and making fun of random strangers killua style and it’ll be so freaking cute 😆😆

Oh and if it’s possible, can you please not have the fic take place during the chimera ant arc? i’m still not through that cause i literally had to take a break because it overwhelmed me so much lmaoo 💀💀

and of course this is a no pressure request, i’ll understand if you’re not comfortable with writing a fic about someone as young as them, or if you’re not comfortable with writing this particular fic in general! anyways, have a great day luv and remember to stay healthy 💛💛

I thought this request was soooo cute lol 🥺 I really kept it as innocent and cute as possible 🥺. I'm sorry it took a while, but I struggled with writing this because I wanted to keep it interesting but innocent at the same time.

I've rewritten this story so many times by now, but I think this one's cute, so I chose this version :3 I hope you enjoy this one! I had fun writing it, so I'm happy you requested this 😇✨

Word count: 3744

‘Here you go’, you smiled at the white-haired boy, ‘You need this, right?’.

You tilted your head, confused by his distrust. You’d spend forever looking for this badge, he could at least take it without being so defiant about it.

‘No’.

‘H-hey! I know you need this!’, you placed both your hands next to your body in discontent.

‘I’ve already collected enough badges, don’t need that one’, the white-haired boy had his hands stuffed away in his pockets, a disinterested gaze met yours.

‘B-but I-‘. ‘Don’t care’, the boy closed his eyes, now turning his back to you.

You didn’t want to cry, to show you were weak, but you went through so much trouble for nothing.

‘Huh?’, Killua frowned when he could hear some cute, sniffling sounds from behind him. ‘I-I just w-want a friend’, you wiped your tears away with the sleeve of your pink sweater.

‘H-hey, are you crying?! Stop crying!’. ‘J-just l-leave me alone!’, you quickly turned around, running as fast as you could from the white-haired boy.

‘Tch, idiot’, Killua gritted through his teeth before walking the other way, ‘Who takes a hunter exam to make friends’.

Killua stopped walking when he considered his own words. Images of Gon forced themselves into his head.

‘Idiot, idiot, idiot!’, Killua felt frustrated. Why did you have to say something like that? Why did you have to remind him of himself? He knows better than anyone what it’s like to long for a friend, and since you went to all this trouble… Even participating in the hunter exam… ‘Fine!’, Killua turned back around, ‘I can hear her sob from here, it’s not like I would waste much time’.

It didn’t take long for Killua to find you. You were sitting on the ground, head resting against the trunk of a tree.

‘Go away’, you sniffled into your sleeve, eyes overflowing with tears. ‘Here, you dropped this’, Killua tossed the badge towards you.

You reluctantly caught it, a sulking expression now on your face.

‘How many badges do you have?’.

You frowned, confused by his question. What did it matter? It was obvious he didn’t want to be friends with you.

‘Take as many as you want’, you tossed your bag towards the boy.

‘W-what?’, Killua’s eyes widened when he could see you'd collected over 10 badges, ‘How did you get these?’. ‘Stole them’, you slowly stood up from the ground, wondering what his intentions were.

‘How?’.

‘W-what do you mean ‘how’?! You don’t think I’m capable of doing so?’, you raised your voice. He underestimated you, so much was clear. ‘Hm’, Killua raised his shoulders, both of his hands still in his pockets, ‘Let’s make a deal’.

Killua couldn’t help but be intrigued by you. There weren’t many kids his age that were as strong as him, but you and Gon might be the exceptions.

‘A deal?’, you crossed your arms, eyes fixed on the bag that was laying between the two of you. ‘If you can get your bag back, I’ll be your friend’. ‘R-really?’, you intertwined your hands, ‘S-so it’ll be like a game?’. ‘Guess so’, Killua smiled, closing his eyes. ‘Deal!’, you smirked, focusing your eyes on your bag. ‘Okay, see you’, the white-haired boy smirked before he picked up the bag and disappeared into the distance.

---

You sighed, dragging your feet while walking down the crowded streets, ‘Eh, I’m tired’. ‘Just a little bit further. Leorio’s waiting for us in that restaurant’, Gon smiled at you. ‘Good, I’m starving’. ‘I told you to eat some breakfast!’, Killua smacked against the back of your head, ‘Idiot!’. ‘Hey, you’re an idiot!’, you pouted while rubbing over the spot where he’d hit you.

‘Let’s try to be kind to each other, okay?’, Gon nervously meddled, ‘You can order something, I’m also hungry. ‘That’s because you haven't had any breakfast either! You’re both idiots’, Killua scoffed while grabbing both of your heads, ‘Now we’re going to waste time because you two didn’t listen to me!’.

You let out a guilty giggle, Gon quickly following your lead. The two of you knew Killua was right, he always was. It was a trait you both came to love and hate at the same time.

‘We need to get money to buy Greed Island, we can’t waste time like this’, Killua let go of your heads, ‘I hope Leorio has figured something out. I don’t like the idea of hunting down Spiders’.

---

‘If he calls, run. If he calls, run. If he-‘.

‘You told me you two were the only ones? I’m starting to feel like I’m running a daycare, damn brats’.

Adrenaline immediately rushed through your veins when you could hear the dissatisfied grunts of your friends.

You quickly jumped away from the window, now looking at the unfamiliar face. ‘Who are you?’.

‘Phinks’.

‘Y/N run’, Killua never sounded so serious before. All the playfulness, all the mockery, the sarcasm… There wasn’t any trace left of it in his tone.

‘Don’t’, the tall man tightened his grip around their arms, ‘I’ll kill them if you try’. ‘What do you want?’, your eyes were lingering on the burn marks around Killua’s ankles.

You wanted nothing more than to shove the man’s face into the concrete wall next to you, but the fact that he’s managed to catch both of your friends told you everything you needed to about his strength – he could easily kill you if he wanted to.

‘Do you know the chain user?’. ‘Chain user?’, you frowned at the unfamiliar name, ‘Maybe… Maybe not. What’s it to you?’.

‘Idiot!’, Killua broke free from the man’s grip, tearing his shirt in the process.

You noticed the way that the man’s eyes widen, he obviously didn’t expect Killua to be so strong.

‘Why would you lie? You know we’re dealing with one of the spiders, right? I told you to run when I say so! What’s wrong with you? Do you want to get yourself killed?’. ‘I was trying to get us out of here! Why do you need to be like this? I’m strong too, you know?’.

Phinks frowned, trying to grasp what was happening before him. Was it arrogance? Were you two mocking him? Were you trying to distract him? He swiftly looked at the boy he was still holding onto, maybe his expression gave something away.

‘We’re friends, don’t worry’, Gon smiled while looking at the blonde, ‘They’re always like this’.

‘Enough’, Phinks grabbed Killua’s arm again. ‘Hey, Mr. Sweatpants, I was talking to him!’.

You froze when you could sense another unfamiliar presence behind you, his aura just as horrible as the man standing before you.

‘What’s taking so long? Can’t handle a couple of kids? Pakunoda and Machi are already waiting in the car’. ‘I’ve only got two hands Nobunaga’, Phinks smirked, ‘You can take the little girl. Watch out, she’s got an attitude’.

---

‘Don’t worry your little girlfriend will be fine’, Phinks sighed while sitting down on a stone, ‘Machi and Pakunoda were in the car behind us, they’ll be here soon’. ‘G-girlfriend?’, Killua raised his voice, cheeks red, ‘S-she’s not my-‘. ‘Oh?’, Gon looked with big eyes at his friend, ‘I really thought you liked her’. ‘Why would you think that? You’re as big as an idiot as her!’, Killua pressed his nose against Gon’s, his digit pressed against his head.

‘Then why are you blushing?’.

Phinks couldn’t help but let out a small smile at how innocent Gon sounded in contrast to his friend. He tried to grasp how they could be so skilled that they’d managed to track his fellow spiders without them noticing.

‘Get off me! I can walk myself!’.

‘There’s your little ray of sunshine’, the blonde massaged his forehead when he could hear your voice again, ‘She never shuts her mouth, does she?’. ‘You get used to it’, Killua and Gon both simultaneously replied.

‘I know you have the same IQ as Gon, but please don’t say anything about Hisoka’, Killua looked at you, hoping you would be smart enough to pretend you never saw him before.

‘This one doesn’t know anything about the chain user either’.

You scanned the room, trying to count how many people were in it.

‘Huh?’, you smiled when you saw the magician, ‘Hisoka? Is that you?’.

‘Idiot’, you could hear Killua’s voice in the back of your head.

‘And you are?’, Hisoka smirked while playing with his cards.

All eyes were on the two of you. Everyone seemed to be interested in your relationship with their fellow troupe member.

‘I took the Hunter exam with you’, you smiled, ‘I wanted to be your friend, remember? Brought you the badge you needed’. ‘Ah yes, I remember. You two were there too’, Hisoka pointed at Gon and Killua.

---

‘Again’.

You could see how Gon’s hand started to bleed, little drops of blood falling onto the cold stones underneath him.

‘K-killua?’.

The only thing you could see in his eyes was anger.

‘Killua? I’m scared’.

A symphony of fear and sadness flooded your eyes. You didn’t want to feel like this, but neither one of you was strong enough to fight off one of the spiders, let alone the bunch of them.

‘Huh?’. Your soft sobs seemed to pull him out of his trance. Two blue eyes were now staring into yours, ‘Gon’s fine, don’t worry’.

‘A-ai, don’t worry Y/N, it doesn’t hurt’, Gon forced a smile on his face, a determined look in his eyes.

‘But-‘, ‘Too much noise, need quiet’.

You froze when you felt someone pulling your arm behind your back, nearly breaking it.

‘Shut up or I’ll break it’.

‘Try and I’ll kill you’.

Killua’s aura completely changed. His usually bright blue eyes went dark, a villainous grin on his face.

‘Sorry, can’t let that happen’. Two of Hisoka’s long fingers pressed a card against Killua’s neck, keeping him in his place.

‘Fei stop’. The man they called ‘Nobunaga’ sounded calm, as if it was normal to threaten a child.

‘Scared, huh?’, Killua’s soft voice grounded you, ‘I always knew you were a scaredy-cat’.

You knew this was his way of distracting you from what was happening around you, from the pain in your arm. You knew he must be on edge too, with Hisoka threatening him… even so, he wanted you to feel okay, to stay strong.

‘Tch’, the man behind you – reluctantly – let go of you, pushing you away from him.

‘Y-Y/N?’, Killua genuinely felt overwhelmed when he felt your hands grabbing around his arm, your head pressed against his shoulder, ‘You know Hisoka’s standing behind me, right?’.

Ah, there it was again, Killua’s grumpy voice. A sound you grew to adore over the last few months.

‘Hm, so sweet and innocent’, Hisoka smirked, pulling his card away when he saw Killua’s burning cheeks.

---

‘Killua? Gon?’, you softly knocked on the door of your friends' hotel room. ‘What’s wrong?’, Gon opened the door, a startled look in his eyes. ‘I-I can’t sleep, I-I’m scared and Leorio won’t answer his door… I think he’s having a party with Zepile’.

‘Idiot’. You could see Killua sitting on the ground, a smug look on his face. ‘You always sleep in a room together! It’s not fair!’. ‘No need to fight’, Gon once again tried to meddle, ‘You can stay here’. ‘Let’s watch a movie!’, you smiled, immediately jumping on the big bed.

It didn’t take long for the three of you to be sitting next to each other on the bed. Gon and Killua smiling next to you, eyes flickering with joy.

‘Oh Killua, I want to be able to fight like that!’, ‘We already do, idiot’.

‘Hm’, you smacked your lips together after yawning, ‘So tired’.

You didn’t notice the way your head fall onto Killua’s shoulder; you were too tired to wake up from his scoldings.

‘Oh’, Gon gently tapped on your shoulder, ‘Seems like she’s asleep’. ‘Get her off me! I can’t sleep like this’, Killua looked the other way, hoping Gon wouldn’t notice his cherry-red cheeks. ‘Are you okay? Do you have a fever?’, Gon widened his eyes when he noticed Killua’s red cheeks. ‘W-what? No, I’m fine’, Killua turned his head further away, ‘Let’s just go to sleep, it’s not like we’ll be able to wake her up. You know how she gets once she’s sleeping’.

---

‘Hey Killua!’, you tried to catch up once you noticed your friends were already walking ahead, ‘I’m hungry’.

‘Again?! We’ve just entered the game!’, ‘I’m hungry too’, Gon nervously chuckled. ‘Fine! Why’d I even expect to start playing right away when I’ve got you two idiots with me’.

‘Let’s go there!’, you pulled Gon behind you, ‘Seems cozy’.

---

‘I’m scared, it’s so dark’, you whispered, hoping your eyes would still adjust some more to the darkness of the night. ‘It’s fine, we’re here’, Gon’s kind voice made sure you felt more at ease.

‘Eeee!’, you jumped into the air, quickly hiding behind Killua, ‘I-I felt something!’. Your hand grabbed Killua’s, the other wrapped around his arm. ‘H-hey!’, he turned his head to look at you.

His eyes softened when he could see the way your cute little nose was pressed against his arm, your eyes closed in fear. He felt a sudden warm and fuzzy feeling when he realized you felt safe with him, that you ran towards him to protect you.

‘D-don’t worry, I’ll protect you’.

‘H-huh?’, your eyes widened when you could feel Killua’s hand tightening around yours. ‘Don’t worry Y/N. I’ll keep you safe’. You blushed when you could see him smiling at you, ‘T-thanks Killua’.

You knew your voice must sound fragile, since you felt too embarrassed to talk properly.

‘Ai! I’ll protect you too!’, Gon appeared next to Killua, his smile as bright as ever, ‘We’re your friends, we’ll always be there for you, no matter what’.

@space-apples @periwinklemoonlight and @whilmsy we call him silly

My sillies!! Us in our bunker that soon got tunnelled into by really everyone and- Ed slayed our chickens :(

Deciding too many people knew where we were we packed up and made this god awful tiny home then proceeded to shove ourselves into one corner of it while @periwinklemoonlight fed up enrichment in the form of bamboo

✨ Enrichment ✨

We tried to move out to make a home but we are- easily distracted and didn’t really get anything done lol

Space wanted to face their fear of sand zombies (who had previously yanked a life) and ended up dying on the door step—

(@melouthechalk) Meow housed me when I first died to Ed so when I ran into them in the lads land we decided to be friends! They gave me cookies and a- a ✨clock✨

Then I decided to propose my love in exchange to not being murdered by red @stiffyck - still covered in Meows blood who i had just allied with and we decided to get married, I joined their polly gang happily while meow (the victim) officiated the wedding!

We smooched, beautiful! And then we decided it would be really poetic~ if I was stabbed in my wedding dress :0 gasp and so I let Stiffy kill me at the alter, my dress has never been the same since but our love- it grows stronger by the blood drop 🤌

Now on yellow :0 I find my silly ( @space-apples ) who is now on red and is actually doing the work we tried to do this session— and we slay, the end of session 2,

Some would argue we ended up with less then we had at the start but hey, I got married

And a little update on our pets!

We have shit bucket 💕 our axolotl who we found while mining

Then @periwinklemoonlight ‘s parrot is called fat ass, because he ate all of the seeds she collected to tame it (a very important resource we were gathering lmao)

And then my parrot is called diabetes because we said I could have it if I tamed it with one seed AND YOULL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED, ONE SEED BBYYY

Silly has a parrot but I can’t remember their name

And Space also has a parrot that I think died 💀 and another axolotl

Salai Chapter 12: Like Spiderman

a/n: ITS OUT BBYYY i like this chapter a lot since it's more development on leo and salai i hope you enjoy it too <3

song: strangers by kenya grace

word count: 4.1k

Leonardo couldn’t sleep that night. It was an unwavering force that pried open his eyes, no matter how hard he tossed and turned, as he kept himself buried underneath his blanket. It'd been practically two weeks since he heard from his friend. He couldn’t remember the amount of letters and notes he’d sent, along with a small box he was tugging at. Were they okay? Could they be okay?

His mind concluded: it was time to write.

It’s been a while since I wrote. I’ve written about five letters asking if they’re okay, but they haven’t answered any of them. I’m not gonna pry or spy like Donnie does, which is pretty creepy, but my worries don’t leave my mind. I’ve tried meditation, drinking herbal tea; even swinging like they said; nothing! My heart feels like it’s shaking, almost. It’s incredibly weird.

A ring echoed from somewhere underneath his sheets, as a gentle vibration was sent through his spine. He flinched, before rolling over, grabbing it to see who was calling him this late. He saw your name. Fumbling around, he snatched his phone, answering as he cleared his throat.

“Hey- uhh- hey, what’s up?”

What’s up?! You haven’t seen them in weeks and you start with that?

“Hey Leo… First, I’m really sorry that I haven’t been talking in a few weeks.”

“Sure, yeah, it’s alright. Just why?”

“Umm…” their voice grew more silent. Leo’s nerves were practically on point. “How do I say this?”

“Say what?”

“Is it normal for tentacles to grow out of my back?”

The time was around 2:30 in the morning, on an even Friday, thank god. Leo’s instructions were evident and firm; head straight to the lair. You passed by multiple streets and alleys, spotting new shards of glass and broken canisters spread across the city. Thoughts inside your mind were muddled, resembling mud more than water.

Two blocks, that’s all you needed to walk. Then, you had to make a right. Simple enough.

You could feel a fresh breeze graze your neck. Instinctively, you turned around and raised your wakizashi, only to realise that you were threatening the late-October air. You must’ve been going insane. That’s the only explanation.

Speaking of explanations, how were you going to explain this? The infant tendrils kept scraping against both your skin and your abundance of clothing. Their leathery textures didn’t add any comfort either, itching and irritating every inch of skin it scraped.

You wanted these things gone, before it got worse.

You made your two blocks and right turn, descending the ladders as fast as you could. The rust stung your skin, sticking chunks of it to your palm. Your former sting had faded, only leaving a small mark, one that could’ve been mistaken for a mosquito or bug. As you hopped down, you raced towards the faint light of the lair. The irritation only grew, driving your feet deeper and pushing off with more force than ever.

Practically throwing yourself over the bannisters, you landed with a frantic jump. But when you looked up, you saw a familiar red-headed face within the crowd of mutants. Another glance past them reconfirmed your suspicions. Soon, you were ushered into another room by Donnie. He looked mad by the crinkling of his nonexistent brow. Either by you stealing one of his gadgets or something entirely different. The room looked dark and menacing, with multiple metals and gadgetry strewn across tables. It was both impressive and odd.

The door opened once again, and Donnie appeared. His eyes seemed tired as he draped a white coat over his figure. He gestured over to a makeshift doctor’s bench made of old office chairs taped together, and you obliged.

“So, can you tell me how this happened?”

“Well… I was on my way home and I saw this broken canister lying on the ground. There wasn’t any ooze or anything, just some dead creatures inside. So I disposed of it in the dumpster nearby. Next thing I know, I’m getting ready for bed and I feel this sharp sting on my skin, so I smack it and this…creature falls out. So I think: oh, just a bug. Nothing to worry about. Cut to five minutes later. I’m scratching and itching all over my back. I go to the bathroom, and tiny tendrils are sprouting out of my back!”

“Then you called Leo?”

“Yep,” you nodded.

“Okay, can I see these tendrils?”

“Uh.. okay?” you answered, slightly lifting your jacket and shirt. The four tendrils seemed to wince at the fluorescent light, retracing back into your back. The movement sent a shiver down your spine. He glanced at it for a while, prodding and studying the creatures. After what felt like hours, he motioned you to let go of your shirt, letting it rest back on your back.

“Well, it’s certainly odd. I’ll give it that.”

“I’d hope so. Tendrils on anyone or anything isn’t a normal occurrence.”

“It’s probably something to do with that thing that bit you. For now, you’re gonna have to stay here so we can monitor you, in case anything starts mutating or developing.”

“Understandable,” you said, nodding. Donnie nodded back, leaving you to your own devices. You took this time to truly gaze at your new friends. They were tiny, almost like velcro, constantly squirming now that they were out. Every time they moved, you could feel a twinge of discomfort speed down your back, like it was attached to the damn thing. This was everything you weren’t anticipating.

A swing through the air twirled your head around, only to see Leonardo standing in the middle of the door. His eyes looked less tired, to your delight. But when your gaze glanced downwards, your stomach slightly sank at the sight of multiple bandages.

“Hey.”

“Hey, are you feeling better?”

“Sort of. I know that, hopefully, I’m gonna be okay.”

He sauntered over towards you, placing a mug emitting light steam next to you.

“What’s this?”

“Oh, it’s just some herbal tea that should help with your pain. I thought it would help.”

You grabbed the cup and took a sip, humming as the tea slid down your throat warmly. “Hmm, that’s good.”

“R-Really? It’s… good? ”

“Yeah, I feel slightly better now,” you said, an uncomfortable silence wafting in the air. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m alright.”

“Okay,” you stated, slapping your knees lightly. “I apologise for just dropping off the radar. It’s this stupid, stupid thing I do whenever I feel like something’s going to end badly. It’s saving myself when there’s no danger in sight. It’s no excuse for what I did, but I’m working on it.”

Leo nodded. “It’s alright, I’m just glad you’re okay.”

You smiled, concealing the growing warmth in your heart. The sinking sensation in your stomach transformed into a fluttering, “I’ve got an idea, if you’re willing to hear me out.”

“Alright, let me hear it.”

“We should team up. If you’re going against these Kraangs and the Shredder, I wanna help as much as I can. I should be able to do something, right?”

He chuckled. “I’m glad you want to help, but I don’t want to see you hurt.”

“I’m not going to get hurt.”

Leo stared into your eyes, your expression never changing. “And if I do, we’ll deal with it. Together.”

“...I’m still unsure. You’re willing to take this risk?”

You snicker slightly. “Yes, I take this risk, Oh Fearless Leader Leonardo. Leader-nardo! ”

As you reached your hand to shake his, you felt a strong twinge on your back. Your arm thrusted out, as did your tendril. It emerged from your back and sped in the same direction as your arm, nearly decapitating poor Leo. Pain coursed through your back, small drops of blood decorated the floor. The tendril embedded itself into the wall as small pieces of concrete shed off and fell onto the ground. Its skin was a deep magenta, leathery, and spiked to all hell.

“Fuck!” you exclaimed.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you?”

“I think so. It was only moderately painful.”

“...i’m getting Donnie.”

“Fair enough.”

After almost killing their brother, the turtles were now certain of monitoring you. If one tiny tendril only took a few hours to develop into a massive two-metre one, what else could happen? This culminated in your entire early morning being taken up by Donnie staring at you, clutching onto his clipboard with all of his strength. You’re surprised it didn’t break underneath it. The other tendrils were quite the challenge. Second one developed around three in the morning. You were laid with your back towards the sky, mildly dreading the pain you were about to experience.

Mikey sat next to you, patting your head, which didn’t help with the pain. Leo kept supplying tea to soothe your nerves and stay by your side, which did help.

What did Raph do during this time, you may ask? He kept mercilessly taunting you, and if you ever asked him about it, he’d say he was simply teasing. Thankfully, it was quickly shut down with the second tendril sprouting and shoving him across the room. You were too busy cackling to yourself to process the pain. Two tendrils out of four, done.

Tendril number three came out more calmly compared to the rest, only injuring small kitchen appliances; This one grew at four thirty-seven in the morning. You were headed to finally eat something to keep yourself awake. As you placed some toast into the toaster, you heard something unusual, like the hurried rushing of three people all at once. As soon as you turned around, you got the panicked expressions of Raphael, Donnie and Mikey, which swiftly dissipated when they saw you.

“What’s got you all riled up?”

“Nothing, just don’t let Leo anywhere near that thing. Trust me, you don’t wanna know.”

“Alright… April? Do you want anything?”

April sat on the couch, silent. She was muttering to herself, fidgeting with an unknown object.

“...okay. Keep talking to yourself.”

“Feeling better?” Mikey asked.

“Yeah, after like two of them, my back’s kinda invincible. Tough as nails.”

“That’s what I’m talking about, bro! You’re gonna be alright. Swimming with the fishes!”

“...that’s a saying of death, Mikey.”

“I appreciate the effort, really I do,” you responded, carrying your plate of freshly popped toasts towards April. Leo was sitting there too, watching Space Heroes. Your back was aching in pain due to two tendrils bursting out of it. Your mind felt almost indifferent to the change you were going through. Maybe it just hasn’t sunk in yet.

“April… April? ”

“What?” she spat. Her eyes grew wide before realising what she said. “Sorry, just focused right now.”

“It’s alright. Just wanna ask if you wanted some toast.”

“Oh… that actually sounds good. Thanks.” she said, taking a piece and chewing on one corner. She hummed in delight.

“Hey April,” called Donnie. “Wanna check out what I’m making over here?”

April fell silent, her lips flattened into a singular line.

“Uh… kinda busy right now, Donnie.”

“Oh..okay.”

You blinked, nibbling on your portion of toast. “Huh. That was weird.”

“Yeah… I need to get some air,” April huffed, walking away from her previous spot and into a miscellaneous tunnel.

“Okay then…?” You hum to yourself before turning to the blue-clad mutant who was staring at the screen with some intensity, you worried he might shred it up with his mind. “Hey, Leo?”

“Hm?” he hummed, disconnecting his eyes away from the screen and towards you. “What’s up?”

“What do you think happens when one of them gets cut off?”

Leo pressed his fist underneath his chin, squinting. “It’ll probably stay cut off. I’m not the type of guy you want to talk about this kind of stuff. It's more Donnie’s thing.

“I wanna hear your opinion about it. That’s why I asked: What do you think?”

He stopped, processing your response. His eyes went blank, as if staring off into an unknown space.

A sharp wave of heat enveloped you, causing you to clutch your forehead. Leo reacted, placing his hand on your forehead.

“Fever. Hold on.”

He paused the TV, rushing towards the kitchen, to which everyone panicked. Thankfully, it was only to grab an ice pack to place on your forehead. You mumbled out a thank you in response.

“What does it feel like?” asked Mikey.

“Like giving birth, only four times.”

“Gnarly sight…”

“And image,” you chuckled. You watched him give you a brief thumbs up, walking away. You glanced back, noticing Leo’s immediate head-turn. He was staring.

“Hey.”

“Hey…” he responded, scratching the back of his neck. “Still feeling okay?”

You chuckle at his worry, but wince as pain pangs throughout your head “Yes, Leader-nardo. I haven’t moved even once.”

“I know, just checking.”

“And I appreciate it. You’re watching Space Heroes?”

He shrugged his shoulders, reaching for the remote with his free hand. “Oh, it was just on. We can switch it.”

“No wait, I think I remember this episode! The one where Captain Ryan fights the Cortexicons and Hypnotica?”

“Yeah, that one! Have you watched it before?”

“I know what it’s about, but I’m still on season one…”

“You’re watching season one? What’s your opinion so far?” he said, questions continuing to flow out of his mouth at record speed.

“It’s pretty good. A bit cheesy, but enjoyable.”

You both looked back at the screen, eyes wide. As you kept watching the episode, you felt a twinge in your back. Was another ready to pop out? Surges of pain coursed through you, the clawing against your back smacked your head in realisation. It kept scratching and clawing at your fleshy back, ripping the pre-existing holes and making them bleed.

With a jolt, you lurched back, groaning out your pain. Leo rushed towards your side, hands hovering in uncertainty. Everyone else crowded around you, varying between understanding what was going on and ignoring. Meanwhile, you kept grabbing at your head, pulling out some hairs in the process. The appendage burst out of your back, sending blood splattering and agonising aches through you. As soon as it escaped your back, it landed on the floor with a wet thud. Three out of-

Another jolt of pain jabbed your back. This time, swiftly and efficiently.

“Oh, come on!” you exclaimed, throwing your arms into the ground. Coincidentally, your tendrils did the same, driving themselves into the ground, cracking them into pieces. They lifted you up, letting your body hover above. The fourth, and hopefully final, appendage finally escaped your back and landed on the ground like the rest. Your back was draped with blood, along with the back of your t-shirt and jacket. You looked around the crowd, seeing everyone's concerned yet scared expressions. Except Raph, he was ecstatic.

When morning arrived, you were exhausted. You alternated between checkups with Donnie, washing your bloodied clothes with Mikey, and resting for prolonged periods of time with Leo and Raph. Those times were when they weren’t bickering and bantering with one another.

Somehow, Raph had pulled you aside and propped you in front of his punching bag. To ‘test out your new abilities’, he said. You were still groggy and exhausted, but gave it a go, anyway. Better to comply than argue more.

“Okay, can you try to lift one of your…things?”

“My…things?”

“Y’know, your…limb.”

“Nice phrasing there,” you snidely remarked. You concentrated your mind, commanding it to levitate, and it did. After a few seconds of strain, you confidently made it hover above the ground, controlling it like it was your own arm.

Raph nodded, his smile quivering in excitement. “Alright, now hit it.”

“Hit…what?”

“The dummy, idiot.”

“Oh, like this?”

You hurled your appendage towards the punching bag, watching in amazement as it shattered into a million pieces. Stuffing scattered the floor, along with the sound of crashing metal. Before you could blink, the door towards the dojo swung open. The force of the slam was enough to send shivers down your spine.

“What was that noise?!”

“Sorry, sensei, might’ve destroyed my punching bag.”

“Who is this?” he said. The tall rat man stared at you with confusion and menace in his eyes.

“Oh, hi mister…rat. I’m Leo’s friend. Really sorry about the mess. I’ll clean it up.”

He approached closer towards you, looming above with intimidation. His eyes never removed themselves from you, analysing your every move and mannerism. What was he looking for? After five more seconds of uncomfortable silence, he stepped back and lightly slammed his green staff.

“It is nice to meet another one of Leonardo’s friends. I can trust that you’ll keep up a secret?”

“Of course.”

“Good.” With that being said, he turned around, retreating to the dojo..

You turned towards Raph, a nervous look adorned your face. “Was that good or bad?”

“Good, you didn’t make him mad.”

After that encounter, tiredness took a hold of you. Its waves came violent and tumultuous, which eventually led you to collapse onto the couch in a huff.

You woke up, memory in a haze, and with your head on Leonardo’s shoulder. The weight of his head on yours sent warm waves in your heart and stomach. Looking around, the rest of the brothers had fallen asleep or left, Mikey and Donnie being piled on top of another. You had no idea what to think, but you couldn’t deny that it was nice.

However, something inside of you wanted to explore. It wanted to find out: what exactly more can these tendrils do?

“Leo, hey.”

He woke up, as if a jolt surged through him. His eyes squished together before opening wide. That simple action felt like a hug around your heart. “What? Is something wrong?”

“No, another idea just popped into my mind.”

“What is it?”

“Let’s go out.”

Leo’s voice faltered. Go out? Go out, like a date? “What?”

“Outside, test these things once again. What if I could use them, like Spiderman?”

“Oh. Oh yeah! I’m just a bit worried.”

Your voice lowered. “About…what?”

Leo straightened his back, adjusting his posture. “The risk, what if you could get hurt?”

“Okay, how about we can go out for ten minutes, and if at any point you feel like we need to dip, we leave. Does that sound ok?”

He paused, eyes static. Then, they went calm again, his pupils slightly enlarging when he glanced back at you. “Okay.”

The night sky tasted fresh. You were positioned at the edge of a rooftop, a small can elevated above you on the rooftop exit. All you wanted to do was hit it. You took a deep breath in, closing your eyes as you repeated the command in your head: hit the can.

You felt the command warp your body and lift your appendage. With one more affirmation, you thrusted it towards the can. A clatter, along with a clap, convinced you to open your eyes. To your shock, it just missed the can.

“Ugh…”

“Hey, you almost got it. That’s progress.”

“Yeah, almost. I almost got it.”

“You can try a different position?”

You both paused.

“That’s what-”

“-she said. I know.”

You gasped, crossing your arms. “How dare you, you asshole! You finally get my jokes?”

“Yes, Raph had to explain them to me.”

“Oh, that’s hilarious. And concerning.”

Leo chuckled, the corners of his mouth tugging into a smile. You chuckled as well, eyes softening. He’d hardly been this giddy, even in front of you. Your eyes wandered, spotting a hanging metal bar from a nearby crane. From the looks of it, it was inoperable.

“I’m gonna try something.”

“Try what?”

“Something potentially dumb,’” you said. With a swift rush, you dashed off the rooftop, commanding your appendage to grab the pole. Now, if you were betting the right cards, your limb would listen to you and grip onto the metal beam. Thankfully, for both Leo’s sanity and your health, it did. The air flew across your skin, the smell of rain wafting through your nose. You catapulted yourself into the air, however, didn’t take account of what would happen after. The sudden rush of adrenaline and the tremendous speed of your descent sent you into a mild state of panic.

“Shit!” you yelped. Your first instinct was to extend all of your tendrils in an attempt to stop your descent. However, another force jolted your body. It grabbed at you and landed on the opposing rooftop. When you finally opened your eyes, you glanced upwards.

That proved to be a colossal mistake. The sight of Leo’s panicked yet soft expression sent another flood of confusion and joy through your body. His body relaxes as he sees that you’re unharmed, dropping you to the ground.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, just got caught in the moment. Sorry for the scare,” you responded. His shoulder relaxed as the tension subsided. His shoulders relaxed as the tension subsided As you got to your feet, brushing yourself off, you noticed the way Leo kept his hands behind his back.

Was he hiding something?

A smile spread across your lips, One that was smug, and had Leo gripped in nervousness.

“What? You’re scaring me…”

“Nice try, what’s behind your back?”

Leo shrunk, his shoulders retracting back into himself. With an uneasy grip, he revealed what exactly he was hiding: a tiny box with a silver ribbon wrapped around it. The ends were tattered with further inspection, but you were more marvelled at the surprisingly clean state of it.

“Did you steal this?”

“No…well, only the box. But I definitely didn’t steal it from a shop-”

“I was just asking a joke, but I admire your dedication.”

You opened the box, discarding the lid, before peering inside, only to see a small bracelet, handwoven with carven wooden ornaments. Bringing the bracelet up to your face, you noticed, upon further inspection, that the wooden ornaments weren’t wooden, they were… acorns ; carved into small objects.

“That one was of the time you gave me your jacket, I promise I will give it back to you,” he said, pointing at the jacket-carved one. The rest were as follows: a bluebell, a purple lilac, and Saturn.

“Oh, it’s fine, you...you can keep it.”

You couldn’t help but slightly chuckle at the adorableness, resting your hand on your cheek. You wanted to hug him, to squeeze him as hard as you could; but you can’t. Too embarrassing.

“I’m going to wear this for the rest of my life. I hope you know that.”

“Really? Um - thanks.”

“No problem, really, it’s great,” you said, smiling up at him. You immediately bite it back, as he turns back to face you once more, “So, you wanna try that again?”

With a smile on your face, you jumped off the roof again, grabbing onto Leo as you swung. You felt your body fling into the air, sending adrenaline coursing through you. But this time, you kept your eyes open. A building’s wall was just a few metres away. You could easily catch it, right? Yes.

Meanwhile, Leo was clinging onto your body like a frenzied lemur. His entire body was frozen, never before has he been this terrified. Even compared to fights against Foot Clan and numerous mutant beasts, this takes the cake.

You leapt above, swinging past building by building. At this point, you dropped Leo off at another rooftop, because he was afraid of dying an early death. While swinging with Leo had a bonus of having him by your side, you understood the immediate fear of heights would detour some people. As you swung and he jumped from rooftop to rooftop, a certain building with white walls and a bright green plus sign caught your attention.

You halted, landing on the fire escape near the window, only to instantly regret your decision. The sight of beeping monitors and bright fluorescent lights didn’t help either. A limp figure sat in a distant chair, slowly breathing in and out, eyes dull and strained from the light. A lump sinked in your stomach as you leaned away from the window.

You couldn’t look at it, no way.

“Hey, you ok?”

A hand rested on your hand, and your fist hurled into Leo’s stomach. Surprisingly, he keeled over, groaning in pain.

“Oh shit, Leo! Are you ok? God, I’m so sorry…”

“It’s fine… Just don’t try to do it again,” he mumbled, catching the figure in his sight. His shoulders rested. “Is that someone you know?”

“It’s..no one. Just caught my eye,” you said, averting your eyes. With a chill down your back, you hopped on the railing. “Let’s go, okay?”

He sighed. “Okay.”
