Leosagi enemies to lovers AU (based on the song: Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay) where Usagi works for Big Mama/A Crime Boss and him and Leo cross paths a lot but instead of Leo falling first it's Usagi.

So something like this:

Leo /Usagi

(this song does not in anyway belong to me, please go check them out)

Leo:

☆

I just really hate your face

Though I know that won’t surprise you

But, to me, your skin is one giant wart

And your laugh’s one big snort

And you stink, so, in short, I despise you~

☆

You disgrace the human race

‘Cause you’re more of a mosquito

I would rather have the dentist and drill

Then this swine in the swill

And if you were a bill, I would veto~

☆

And if the world was perfect

You would be gone without a trace

But since the world could never be that great

I’ll just hate your stupid face~

☆

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~

(after a few more accidental meet ups)

Usagi:

Oh no...

Nooo...

✧

I just really like your face

You don’t have to look so happy!

I’m not really into love that you flaunt

In some glittery font

But if that’s what you want

Make it snappy!

✧

I just feel so out of place

Well, except for when you’re near me

When you’re gone, I’m like a plant with no root

Or a song that’s on mute

Don’t you dare call it cute!

You should fear me!

✧

And if the world was perfect

You would have never invaded my space

But since the world’s obsessed with saying “psych!”

Now I like your stupid face

✧

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

✧

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

(A reluctant betrayal)

Leo:

✿

I just really miss your face...

Though, by now, I must disgust you

I had tried to be the stubbornest mule

‘Cause I knew life was cruel

So I guess I was foolish to trust you...

✿

But I wait here, just in case

Though I know I’m being senseless...

How could I have ever been so naive

And wear my heart on my sleeve

When I knew it would leave me defenceless...

✿

And if the world was perfect

You would be here in my embrace

But since the world denied me one last kiss

I’ll just miss your stupid face

...

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

(cue signature Leon stubbornness to not give up on Usagi)

"Usagi!"

"Leonardo? What are you doing here?"

"I- I wanted to see you again-"

"Leo-san there is nothing to say. You saw me as I am, a monster, and even ran-"

"I didn’t run away! …It was a strategic retreat!"

"...."

"I wanted to, to talk-"

"What is there to talk about? It’s over—I ruined it."

"No you didn't! I know that wasn't you! And I know how sorry you are, aren't you?"

"Well yeah, of course I’m sorry, but—"

"Then that's all I need to know, and I've already forgiven you Usagi, without hesitation."

"No- no! Don’t forgive me! Why do you do that? Why give me another chance to mess things up... ?"

"Because I.... I... "

"... Because you WHAT ?!"

Usagi:

★

Those three little words

Out of the blue

Completely uncalled for

Especially from you

★

Why don’t you hate me?

Why do you care?

Can’t you berate me? Isn’t that fair?

Where is your glare?

★

Don’t you dare leave our problems and pain on the shelf!

Because if you don’t hate me, I can’t hate myself...

★

But that’s why I need you

You shatter my fear

‘Cause despite my misdeed

You are still right here

★

Though it’s stupid to date me

You’re willing to try

And if you don’t hate me

Then why should I?

"Are you sure you don't want to give up on me?"

"Uh- yeah, pretty sure dude."

"You're a moron...”

Both:

♡ ♡

So you think that we could work?

Here I thought I’d been the dumb one

("What?") You’re forgiving me for all I did wrong

You’re unmuting the song

And again, I belong to someone

♡ ♡

No- You can drop the stupid smirk

Though, by now, I guess you’ve earned that

‘Cause no matter how intensely I pout

Your stupid face will win out

And I guess it’s about time I learned that

♡ ♡

And though we go together like a Chanel No.5 and mace

At least it’s not as dull as fitting like a glove

‘Cause you’re a nightmare that I’ve not been dreaming of

But I suppose that when push comes to shove

("Fine.")

I love your stupid face

♡ ♡

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

"Your stupid face."

Rottmnt weird drabble/one shot because I have anxiety so Leo has anxiety too.

Based on a headcanon you can find here.

Leo was at the verge of a panic attack. No, he was going into a full anxiety spiral. The best part? He was currently having a family dinner.

Everyone was having fun. Raph was stuffing his face with Mikey's meatballs, April was trying to prevent him from choking, his twin was recording everything with his phone, his father was scolding him for using his phone during a family event, Mikey was still cooking in April's kitchen and Draxum and himself were having a smooth conversation about biology. About literal photosynthesis to be precise. He might hate him but he has to admit Draxum really knew how to get him to talk.

There were oh so many details in every single thing his family was doing right now, but he's brain chose to focus on himself. How selfish.

Draxum was rambling about his favourite photosystem when it hit him. The increased heart rate, the tunnel vision, the distorted hearing, the nausea, the damn choking sensation and that fucking piercing pain in his chest that just won't go away for the rest of the week.

Why did his anxiety have to be such an opportunistis?

He stared at Draxum like he was trying to read his soul out loud. Leo could hear him but he wasn't listening. No words seem to get into his brain but the usual 'you're nothing but your brothers', 'too little too late for redemption', 'you'll never change', 'under that mask is a scared little boy'.

Did Draxum just make him a question? He could tell by Draxum's body language.

"So?" Said Draxum to the turtle that barely registrated anything but the strong static in his ears.

Masking this kind of things was easy for him. He just had to ignore and endure it in equal proportions and play face man. He could do it, he was the face man! The actor! The lier among them! Misleading was his specialty.

He would just put on another layer of paint to his mask and flee forward.

"I'm not sure." Leo said a bit too low but steadily nonetheless.

"Well, if you are not sure, I could suggest a few scientific articles". Draxum replayed, apparently content enough with the poor answer.

Draxum was suddenly silent, already used to Leon's seemingly infinite energy for conversation, waiting for him to say something.

So he said the first thing he could muster, the quickest he could: "I-I'd love to read t-them".

That was clearly not a good plan.

It had begun. The stuttering, because his poor mouth couldn't keep up with his anxious brain. He hated that. He's good hiding his panic in plain sight but his stupid stuttering is something he can't control or cover! He could only go mute and hope he's not asked many questions because of it.

But going mute would be extremely suspicious when he's literally in the middle of a conversation!

"Ok...?"

Ok, Draxum was a bit confused, he could work with that. That is fixable. As long as he can keep a low profile he's good.

But his breathing was getting more and more erratic and being and acuatic turtle didn't actually help keep the need to just breath at bay.

Could he fix this?

'Of course not, you're useless!'

'You're eyes are watering, you big crybaby!'

'Just flee. They're not gonna miss you anyway '

'They're better off without you'

He took a big, deep, audible, shaky breath and surrendered.

"Are you ok, bro?" Mikey, bless his soul, had just entered to room and immediately noticed his struggle, taking over the conversation. "Barry, mind if I steal my brother from you for a sec?"

Mikey did not wait for an official answer, he grabbed Leo by the wrist and forced him out of the room. That, in all honesty, scared the holy shit out of Leonardo. And everybody else.

He felt a little naked now that he wasn't around his whole family, but at least the living room smelled like April. It was a nice smell to focus his mind on.

"Leo... It might not be anything serious- and I hope it isn't! -but..."

"I-I'm hav-ing a p-panic a-attack".

Another shaky breath was all it took for Leo to become a hyperventilating and sobbing mess.

That image just fits too well 😙

Hi :> Can i request the rise turtles confessing to the reader? Like in the middle of their confession they just begin to babble a lot, but Then the reader just gives them a short kiss on the lips and say “you talk to much <3” and just casually walks away

Love Confessions

RotTMNT x gn!reader

Warnings: aged up, mutual pinning, confession, awkwardness, eventual fluff, not written as headcanons, swearing

A/N: I am projecting so hard rn... These are long, so I put it behind a Read More to condense. :)

Donnie

You and Donnie got along really well. You'd developed quite the crush on him and he you although he wouldn't tell you that. He took you out all the time, to find mystic stuff or just search for good scrap metal he could use. Sure, most people wouldn't think anything of it, but it was a lot of fun.

"This isn't easy for me. I've never... Not like this. But... You matter to me. A lot." Donnie says as you sift through a pile of scrap.

"You matter a lot to me too, Donnie." You smile, passing him a fairly good sized piece.

"My brothers get so annoyed because of how much I talk about you." That caught your attention. You stop what you're doing, turning to him. "Stop smiling at me like that... You're going to make me fuck up..."

"Fuck up what?" You ask.

"I'm 100% sure you're all I think about. You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen." Donnie starts rambling, more reasons he 'appreciates' you. He keeps his eyes off you, nervous about what he's saying could possibly mean. "Look, I’m not sure if I’m liking this development. Now… Now it feels like I can’t go a day without thinking about you, and about how you’re doing, and if you’re doing well, and if you’re happy, and I just want to see you and talk to you and I miss you when you’re not there and— and—"

You lean forward, pressing your lips to his. His rambling stops, hand cupping the side of your face.

"You talk way to much." You laugh, pulling away from him.

"Wait... Don't." He mumbles, dragging you back to him. "Not yet."

Leo

Leo walked you back to your house after you went out to dinner. It felt like a date. Was it? Did Leo just feel too embarrassed to tell you? You 2 had known each other for quite a while, you definitely had a crush on him. Maybe you were reading too much into it.

"I had a really nice time, Leo." You smile as you get to your front door.

"Uh... Me too." He rubs the back of his neck.

"Is everything okay?" You tilt your head slightly, watching his reactions. You smile, you've never seen him this nervous.

"I just thought… Never mind. It's dumb." Leo laughs nervously.

"Come on, Leon. You can tell me anything."

"How on earth do you expect me not to fall in love with you when you look and smile at me like that?" Leo groans, dragging his hands down his face. "I’m done pretending that you’re just a friend to me when I see you so much more than that!"

He continued to ramble. You're eyes were so pretty, you laughed at all his jokes, etc. It continued, almost seeming like it would never end. So you stood on your toes, pressing your lips to his softly. He caught your waist, gently holding you close.

"If you wanted to kiss me so bad, why didn't you do it then?" You laugh.

Mikey

Mikey was your best friend, only that... Until it wasn't. You confided in Donnie your massive crush on Mikey. Donnie kept trying to get you to confess, but you were nervous. Eventually Donnie got Leo to try and convince you too. It got to the point where they left, dragging Raph with them, leaving you completely alone with Mikey.

So now you sat in Mikey's room, painting, doodling, just having fun.

"All this time I think I was bound to fall in love with you. It was only a matter of when and where." He sighs, putting down his brush.

"What?" You ask.

"I keep daydreaming about you, and it’s so distracting and annoying and I can’t stop, and it’s all because I’m in love with you and—" You quickly stop him, kissing him softly.

"Then don’t. Don’t stop daydreaming about me, don’t stop being distracted and annoyed by me. Don’t stop thinking about me. Don’t stop… Don’t stop being in love with me." You breathe. Mikey grins, kissing you again.

Raph

Raph was always so nice to you, he comforted you when you were having a bad day, he knew all the ways to make you smile. He was so genuine... You were falling so hard for this giant.

"I asked myself if I’d give you the world if I could, and yes. Yes I would. With no hesitation, I’d give you the world, if you so much as asked." He laughed. You 2 had been playing games together, but took a break to grab snacks. "So yeah, I’m pretty much fucked."

This was the first time he's ever sworn in front of you. You stared at him, open mouthed.

"I mean, I haven’t been in love with someone before but I’m pretty sure this is what being in love feels like, right?" He chuckles, looking at you. "I just really enjoy spending time with you and you really have become someone very special to me and-"

You kiss him. It was a little hard due to his height, but he was quick to help out, setting you on the counter.

"I want compensation for the mere fact that I fell way too hard for you." You laugh. He snorts at your comment. "Some bones were definitely broken on the way down."

I saw your post on writing prompts for TMNT. Can I ask for rottmnt TMNT 2012 character bonding? Like r!Leo with 12!raph, r!Mikey with 12!Donnie, r!Donnie with 12!Leo, and r!raph with 12! Mikey?

Hello, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to keep building on this in segments. I will reblog and let you know. But here is Rise Donnie being protective of 12! Leo

12: Leonardo/Lee; Raphael; Donatello/Donnie; Michelangelo/Mikey

Rise: Leo/Leon/Nardo; Raph/Raphie; Dee/Donald; Mike/Angelo

Protective

It was subtle, Lee noted, but it was there. And honestly, it was a bit sweet. It had first confused the eldest in blue, but it grew on him. Upon meeting their younger counterparts, Leonardo wasn’t blind to noting he had a little duckling following him around. Once he had praised one of Dee’s inventions and the purple banded soft shell was his shadow, constantly soaking up more praise. It made Lee ache a little bit to think that Dee wasn’t praised a lot for his brilliance. Although, it prompted him to offer words of encouragement more often than he did to his own genius brother. But Leonardo was moved, if not embarrassed by the younger turtle’s protectiveness.

Dee had a great deal of respect and admiration for Leonardo. But he also felt a twinge of concern. While Leonardo was the oldest of them all, ‘Nardo was his younger twin— no matter how much they argued over it— and he looked out for his brother in his own way. Granted, giving him a shock collar to put an end to his stupid jokes wasn’t the best idea at the time… but c'est la vie. He’d find something to aid his brother’s skills. It was just a matter of designing the right thing, easier said than done. Still, he carefully observed Lee and while he felt that he himself couldn’t direct him, Lee’s brother’s could. It was mostly things that dealt with his injuries. Lee wasn’t one to complain or talk about his knee hurting, even with a knee brace, so Dee would find Donnie or Raphael and tell one of them. They’d curse under their breath before stomping off towards Lee to help him. Dee felt a bit better to see his twin’s counterpart be taken care of and fussed over by his brothers. Dee commended himself on a job well done.

Right side of the bed

🎂: ROTTMNT

🧁: Donnie

🍫: Mikey , Leo Ft. Raph

Summary: Donnie is in a very good mood and has a minor case of the giggles for some reason . Mikey and Leo decide to figure it out and maybe improve it even more..

A/N: I love the idea of tickling someone because they’re in a good mood almost as much as I love cheer up tickles and that’s saying something.

Right side of the bed

“Good morning, D!” Mikey cheered while making breakfast as Donnie walked in.

“Morning Angelo!” He replies , equally chipper.

‘……wait just a second! Donnie’s never this cheery in the mornings??!’

“Oo! Something smells good! What’s on the menu today?”

Okay, this was really weird. Mikey’s brain stutters for a moment.

“Oh! It’s pancakes! With chocolate chips!” He informs once his mind catches up.

“Fun! I bet they’ll be delicious, like always!” Donnie giggles .

….Donnie giggled. What the hecking heck?

Mikey kinda just stares in shock at Donnie’s smiling face.

Donnie giggles again. “Hello~ is anybody home?” And waves his hand in front of the others eyes.

“Oh, uh, yeah.” Mikey finished making breakfast as Leo and Raph come downstairs.

“I smell chocolate chip pancakes!” Raph calls as he sits down.

“I hope we’re not to choco-late to get some!” Leo cracks a joke with a silly smirk .

Raph groans, Mikey grins, but Donnie giggles.

“Pfft. That was silly.”

Leo gasps(maybe a little dramatic but that’s in character)

“did you just laugh? At one of my jokes? Who are you and what have you done to my brother?”

“Heheh, I’m an eeviilll imposter ~,” Donnie starts with a fake ghost voice , “No but seriously, Nardo, it’s just me.”

“Okay, this is really weird , what is up with you?”

Donnie laughs again. “Guess I woke up on the right side of the bed? I’m just kinda feeling life today Leon, don’t sweat it.”

“Moving on!” Mikey exclaims from the kitchen “Breakfast is ready!”

As the brothers eat, Leo makes more jokes, capitalizing on the fact that his brother was so giggly. He loved making people laugh.

After a joke that landed particularly well, Donnie just full on burst into belly laughter.

“Hahaha! Nardohoho! I’m trying to eat!” He half complains as he clutched his sides and wipes a small tear from his eye.

“Hey! It’s not my fault that I’m so funny.”

“Heh. Dork.”

At that sentiment, Leo does a fake offended gasp, in another form of comedy.

It works. Donnie just laughs harder.

“Oh, you should see your face! Ahahah!”

After breakfast, Leo decides he’s gonna make Donnie laugh in a different way. He tells the others(minus Donnie) and Mirky agrees to help. Raph says he’ll just watch, they don’t want to overwhelm the soft shell.

So, when Donnie comes back(he had been getting a drink) the two of them pounce.

“Whahat are you twoho doihing, huhuh?” Donnie laughs out as he’s tackled by them.

“We’re making you laugh!” Mikey pips up, before lightly poking at Donnie’s sides.

“Pffthehe! Youhou whehere alreheheady Dohinhihng thahat youhou gohoofbahalls!”

Donnie wouldn’t admit it, but it felt kinda nice. It was improving his already happy feelings.

He was glowing with joy, only bright smiles here!

“Yeah, but we wanted to do it better, Mister giggles~.” Leo teases as he joins in the attack.

Donnie didn’t say anything, he was just full of laughter!

“Looks like someone got a one-way ticket to giggle city~” Leo coos.

Donnie didn’t even respond. Normally he wouldve replied with snark or a simple “shut!” But this time, he just basked in the feeling.

“Are you having fun~” Mikey sings

“Mmmahayhahaps!” He quietly says through his laughter.

All three brothers internally ‘awwed’ at that.

Donnie was indeed, having fun. He didn’t even protest because he was already in a good mood before. Now he just felt amazing .

His smile seemed to glow, his eyes were shut tight as giggle after giggle fell out of his mouth.

The others all watched in awe at Donnie’s generally happy juxtaposition.

Leo continued to make jokes while tickling his twin, increasing the amount of laughter pouring from him even more.

It was a great situation! Everyone was having a good time!

When the two attackers stopped, they let Donnie catch his breath and got him a glass of water.

After he recovered, Donnie just smiled and laughed a little at his own thought before reciting it aloud,

“Now I really feel like I woke up on the right side of the bed.”

forgive me if I'm doing this wrong lol but could I request the rottmnt brothers tickling the reader after they realize the reader has been dropping hints that they want to be tickled?? love you fam 💜💜💜

HIII! I'm so sorry this is so late but I hope you enjoy regardless my friend!

I think im running out of gifs so if we get repeats I apologize lol!

Anyways!

The people in this: Lee!Reader, Ler!Turtles (Sepreate! And Established relationship!)

G/N (gender neutral) reader as always! :]

(N/n)= Nickname

Tw: wearing a crop top, other than that none but this is a tickle fic so if you don't like it, don't read it! :] /pos

With all of that being said Enjoyy!

-K :]

____________~☆°♡°☆°♡°☆~_____________

Leo!:

It started with some light poking. When he didn't budge to that, you stepped it up a bit to little scribbles and when THAT didn't work you decided to lay across him and see what happens.

"Clingy day, huh? Well, lucky for you! Leon's a huge cuddle monster!" He wrapped you up into a beautiful hug, which if you weren't in this situation would have felt like heaven, but it really made it worse. His hands were so close to your tickle spots, but so far!

You let out a sigh as he tilted his head when looking at you in question

"What's up baby?"

"Nohothingg"

It finally clicked, after all of that time! How did he not see it before! That confused face turned into a smirk quickly as he started to lightly trace your sides "Lee mood?"

"Leheo!"

"I've got you giggles~" he began to skitter his tickly fingers all over your tickle spots, satisfying what you've hinted at all day!

"Im gonna getcha'!~" He giggled along with you as he moved to your worst spot

"LEHEHEOHOHO!"

"Hehey! You asked for this!" He smirked blowing a quick raspberry to your tickle spot, continuing until he's seen you've had enough, rubbing the ghost tickles away "How are you feeling now giggles?~"

"Behehetter"

"I'm always happy to help" he smiled and pulled you in for another Leo hug.

All you've wanted all day was to get wrecked. You woke up, and it started, that all to well known feeling spread across your body as you sighed. 'What to do?' You thought to yourself as you weighed your options.

You choose your loving boyfriend as your target. He was easy to crack, just mess with his stuff and bam! Tickle city here you come!

You smiled walking into his lab to pay him a nice vist "Heyy D!"

"Afternoon Dove, what a treat, you stopping by" he smiled putting his goggles back on and went back to work "Unfortunately I am busy though dove if you don't mind waiting I will be with you in a moment"

You nodded before smirking 'no way! It's go time!' You quietly waddled over to your boyfriend starting with easy pokes

"Dove" he warned you as you continued moving on to gentle scribbles

"Ihi am very busy dove! What has gotten into yo-" it clicked as he smirked, what gave it away was you picking up a peice of tech off of his desk

"If you wanted tickles dove, you could've just asked" His smirk grew as he used the two robot hands to place you onto his lap as he began to scribble all over your tickle spots

"You're lucky im such a nice boyfriend, I could've made you ask but I didn't~" he continued moving to your worst spot "Tickletickletickletickle~"

"DOHOHONNIEHEHE!"

"Satisfied?"

"YEHEHES!"

"Excellent" he smiled rubbing the ghost tickles away "Now if you would patiently wait over there giggles I will be with you in just a moment"

"Wihill doho!"

This lee mood was extreme. And desperate times calls for desperate measures! You threw on a cool looking, loose crop top and went over to your boyfriends house.

It was a beautiful day in New York so if anyone else asks about the crop top it was the perfect excuse. Having some of your tickle spots exposed though did not help the situation.

You announced your presence as you entered, and your teddy bear of a boyfriend came running!

"(Y/N)!!- wOahh!" He looked at what you were wearing, and his smile got even bigger "YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE!" He pulled you into a spinning bear hug before putting you down gently

"Thank you Raph!" You gave him a gentle poke to his side but nothing worked. He just giggled and asked if you wanted to watch a movie.

Halfway through the movie you ended up letting out a sigh. He caught it fast and paused the movie. "Are you okay (n/n)?"

You nodded as a blush spread to your face it finally clicked "Oohhhhh!" He smirked as he looked at you again "I should've known from the minute you walked in here!" He giggled before scribbling all over your tickle spots

"RAHaHapHie!"

"Tickletickletickletickle Dawwww the tickle monsters got you now giggles!" He smiled moving to your worst spot

"RAHAHAPH!"

He giggled along with you "You're too cute (y/n)" he stopped once he saw you've had enough. Rubbing the ghost tickles away he held you close,

"Ihim sorry I didn't see it sooner"

"Yohou're all good Honey, I'll try to ask next time, key word, Try!"

'Video games! It was the perfect plan!' You thought to yourself as you challenged Mikey to a Mario kart race.

You had woken up in a lee mood, and it only got worse by the minute! You set everything up perfectly, poking him to throw him off, several rounds and nothing worked even when he lost he was so supportive.

Eventually, you sighed, giving up the sharade. He caught on fast, his confusion turning into a smirk "Does someone want ticklesss?"

His comment did not help, your face got red as you giggled out his name "Mihikey!"

"Come here giggles!-" He wasted no time wrapping you up in a tickle hug, scribbling all over your tickle spots on the now shared bean bag chair "Tickletickletickletickle"

"MIhiKEHeY!"

Mikey giggled "You're so cute! Ah! You make my heart soar (n/n)!" He was being genuine before moving to your worst spot

"MIHIHIKEHEHEY!"

"Dawww my little giggle bug!" He continued until he saw you've had enough "Okahay okay, feeling any better cutie?" He rubbed away the ghost tickles and held you close

"Yehes, thahank you Mihikey"

"Anytime my muse Anytime!" He turned the game off and cuddled you the rest of the night until you had to unfortunately go home.

ROTTMNT: You Are Not Alone

Angst

*Reblogs appreciated*

Chapter 10

“My sons, I am so proud of you.”

“You have to lead them now, Leo.”

“Take care of Junior for me.”

“I’ll make sure none of them make it out.”

“Despite everything, it was still fun.”

“One of us has to live.”

---

Leonardo gasps awake in a cold sweat. He shoots up and immediately doubles over in pain. Everything hurts, and not just physically.

He presses his forehead into his knees, eyes stinging. “Get it together, Leon.”

He wipes his eyes, takes a few deep breaths, and sits up straight, forcing himself to calm down.

The med bay is empty. He wonders where Casey is, but is thankful nobody saw him nearly breakdown.

He’s covered in bandages again. Like last time, he tears most of them off his left arm and legs so he can move easier. His pants took a beating but are still wearable. His cloak, on the other hand, is nothing but tatters, so he discards that.

His photo was still nestled in its neck, but fortunately it’s unharmed. He stares at it, remembering his dream- his nightmare of cobbled memories.

His slips the photo into his belt and stands up. He feels heavy and sluggish; his body cries out for rest with each painful step. But he ignores it and leaves the med bay.

In the TV room, the news they just heard hangs heavy over the team. Cassandra keeps looking at Casey, who’s sitting in the kitchen, staring at a glass of water.

“He could be lying,” she suggests.

“Why would he lie about that?” April questions.

“He is from the future, and he does kind of look like you,” Leo adds.

“If it helps, I can run a DNA scan,” Donnie suggests.

“No,” Cassandra replies, “besides, that’s not the part that’s bothering me.”

The air gets even heavier.

“If future Cassandra is...you know...” Mikey says hesitantly, “then what happened- is going to happen?- to the rest of us?” “Future Leo never did say,” Raph adds.

Everyone is silent as they consider the dark possibilities.

“Do not dwell on it,” Splinter orders, “there is no stability in ‘what ifs’.”

They do their best to listen, but still the dark thoughts cloud the corners of their minds.

rottmnt fic recs

ive been deep into rottmnt fic for the last couple months. its not a super popular fandom for fic-related stuff so i wanted to give a shoutout to some of the fics ive read & enjoyed!

Tomato Maze by Sroloc_Elbisivni

Leo still has no idea what’s going on here, but if they’re not going to hurt him then there’s absolutely nothing to stop him from screwing with these assholes. He can do ‘recalcitrant and obnoxious’ with the best of them, as any member of his family could tell you. At length. He’s not going to cooperate at all.

He leans against the wall and smirks up at the camera with his third-smarmiest smirk. “Aw, do I get a cookie if I help you with your widdle tests?”

“No.” The door on the other side of the room opens. “You get a tomato if you do this maze.”

“Ooh, tomato maze,” Leo says, and walks through the door immediately.

op's mind is incredible. i read this one after reading their series, bunnyguard, which is ALSO another great bunch of fics but: this headcanon. its mine now tyvm

find another guiding light by taizi

If Leo wanted to be the leader, he’d be good at it. As long as he doesn’t want to, he won’t be. So it’s a scheme—Donnie can get behind that. He knows whose side he’s on. It’s the side he’s always been on, since the day he read the definition of “twin” out of a water-logged dictionary. It’s his job to be here. Leo’s kind of an idiot for expecting him to be anywhere else.

anything taizi writes is incredible and i have been following them since era one piece BUT this one in particular. iconic. love it

Write Me Well, My Love, Write Me Weird by Under_the_red_beenie

When stories start popping up on various media outlets of the Turtleman, New York Cities own personal cryptid, most of the world shrugged. To the citizens of New York? fear, excitement, adoration for this odd and lovable creature. Everyone is quick to share stories and memories of their encounters, much to lament of Turtleman's older brother.

Alternatively, Donnie and Leo accidentally become modern folklore and legend to the city of New York.

AHHHHHH yeah. this one i have read so much & inspired my own fic and it is just!!! this entire concept is just so much fun and they do rlly well with balancing the funny with the deeper bits

i waited eight long months (she finally set him free) by stillateenageabomination

“Chasing us down is one thing,” said the red-masked turtle with a vicious smirk. He kept his grip on his sai firm as his brothers circled around him and April. “It’s gutsy enough that I can actually respect it. But threatening our pizza? Now you made it personal. Big mistake.”

April held her breath. She would not do what she wanted to do, she would not, she would not –

April burst out into uproarious laughter, her giggles so uncontrollable that the mutant that could only be Raphael had to ease up his grip on his sai. He just stared at her in confusion, as did the rest of his brothers, as April struggled to quiet her laughter.

“I’m – I’m sorry,” April said between giggles. It was so bad that her glasses started fogging up. “You’re just – really short.”

2012/2018 crossover i was following this fic back when it was still updating and when i got to the last two chapters there were times wher ei just. could not handle it. had to go take a lap around my house. it is THAT good.

i did want to give a shoutout to some of the ones that are actively updating too:

Leo, Leoo & Leon by Superherokid

Leonardo wakes up in an unknown location which is never a good sign! He is very far from home and he doesn’t know how he got here or where here even is!

SUPER good 2003/2012/2018 crossover. i adored the characterization & spent the better part of last night reading the entire thing

Turtle out of Water by Anonymous

Mikey's aim is more than a little off, and Leo is freed from the Prison Dimension only to land in a universe full of superheroes. Which is cool and all, but he's injured, his brothers don't even know the portal saved him, and he has no idea how to get home.

It takes all of two seconds for the Justice League to offer a helping hand. Not long after, the Team gains a new member from across the multiverse.

rise/DC fic that we all need in these trying times tbh. love it so much

A Tale of Spirits by unorthodoxx

The arrival of four great spirits changes everything

alta/rottmnt. i shouldnt even have to say anything abt this one but it DOES live up to the hype. i am hyped.

#there are others too ofc but this post would have gotten too long #SO. maybe another one eventually #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt fanfic

Okay so I just got an ide for a ROTTMNT/TMNT 2012 crossover fanfic but I'm shit at writing so uhm here's the idea if anyone wants to write it. If you do write it please credit me/tag me/message me lol. You don't have to ask for permission just like, make sure I know about it/can read it thamks

Anyway, the actual idea is as follows:

Okay okay so it's set post-movie (like a few months later ) and everyone's recovering and healing their trauma and all that right? So they're all doing pretty ok but Leo's doing like worse than the others ptsd/mentally-wise and is very wary about like the concept of time/dimension travel.

So, Raph, Mikey and Donnie, being the good brothers they are, don't being up the topic around him, but they talk about it when he's not around cuz Donnie's making a multi-dimensional gun because since he's proved time travel, he also wants to prove dimensional travel.

Anyway so he finishes the gun, right? And so he takes his brothers (minus Leo) to test it out somewhere secluded. And it works!! And alternate veraions of him, his brothers, April, Splinter and even Casey (all 2012 mind you) come through the portal!! And everyones confused and excited so they introduce themselves and clear everything up and all that. So then the 2012 gang turn around to go home but the portal closed and the gun's not working for whatever reason. Shit.

Raph offers they stay with them, and then Mikey reminds them of Leo and everyone (-2012) is like 'Oh shit what are we gonna do'

And so they decide on a plan. The 2012 gang are going to stay in their lair until they find a way to send them back and tell Rise! Splinter about it, but make sure Rise! Leo, under NO CIRCUMSTANCE, finds out.

And the whole fanfic is them trying to navigate life while keeping the 2012 gang a secret from Rise Leo

In the end (think like a month more or less later) Leo finds out and freaks out but like a week later Rise Donnie sends them back to their universe so yeah. The Rise gang did get the 2012 gang's phone numbers tho so possible chatfic about that too??? Idk

Alyo since we're here basic headcannons about the Rise and 2012 gang!!

Brighter to my eyes 4

Summary: Leo is good at reading people, it's what makes him a good strategist, but those blue hues of hers elude his sharp intuition.

Perhaps if they didn't he'd realize he didn't have to change himself for her to see him like he wants her to.

A.N. I wrote this fanfic over an idea of Rise! Leo using a cloacking brooch to hide his true self but it evolved into something way bigger, this fic will takes place in ROTTMNT after "Newsworthy" but April is 18 starting college instead of in High School, while the MC and Raph are 17, the twins 16 and Mikey 15.

Pairing: Rise! Leo x OC, Leo x Reader

Warnings: Angst, FLUFF, Sibling shenanigans, MC is a nerd, but a mean nerd in leather.

PREV • MASTERLIST • NEXT

Victoire was tied up on a chair in one of the rooms, mind controlled teens surrounding her to make sure she stayed in place.

The door opened and the mutant of the hour walked in with a confident grin "My my, is it the Kaylock's dear daughter, the golden child! You certainly know how to hold a party."

Victoire just looked at him plainly and Hypno rolled his eyes "Oh aren't you just like your parents, can't appreciate good entertainment, but don't worry, I'm sure this show will catch their interest"

Hypno snapped his fingers and two of the biggest party goers went to her side, holding up the chair with her in it while another one opened the window, Victoire gasped as her body was pushed halfway through it, being held back just a bit but enough to see what could happen to her.

Outside and right below her from the second floor window laid the pool with newly added piranha's swimming, Victoire's panic was probably what stopped her from tuning in to the music still playing below.

"Pools filled with piranha's are an underappreciated classic, a little too cliche in my opinion but I'm sure the classics are more to your parents taste." Hypno continued and Victoire noticed some mind controlled party goers still on the backyard pointing at her with their cellphone camera.

"Can we skip to the part where you tell me what you want out of this?" Victoire spoke with whatever control she could grasp as her eyes searched frantically for any sight of the turtles or April.

"So impatient! But I guess I can indulge you" Hypno said just as Victoire caught a glimpse of Donnie behind the mind slaves giving her a thumbs up and then she felt herself stumble forwards, a panicked sound came out of her mouth as she was pushed slightly forward by Hypno before stilling again.

"These teens that follow you around and do everything you want for your attention are just like the flies around your parents, if you say jump, they ask how high, if you tell them you want something it's at the grasp of your hand the next minute, and if you say you don't like something they shun it and dig its grave" He spoke gesturing to the partygoers below "But now they don't follow you, they follow me."

Victoire looked at the mutant from the corner of her eye "Did my parents say your act was bad?"

"Not only said it, but exposed their bad taste on every social media platform possible and by now they probably forgot about it, but their followers didn't, can you imagine what it did to my reputation? So I thought, now that I have the chance I'd give them a spectacle they will definitely remember" With those words she stumbled forwards further.

Vic was about to yell when the speakers started playing loud and obnoxious techno music.

The people started reacting to it, holding their head and looking around confused, that included those who held onto the chair, suddenly Victoire was pushed forwards in the midst of the confusion.

"LEON!" Victoire screamed as she fell, not a second later a beam of light flashed in front of her face and she was airborne again, route changed quickly and then fell on Leo's arms with a huff.

"Don't go falling for me now" he joked before lowering the chair on the floor and untying her, Victoire looked up at him in relief as she stood.

Her legs trembled slightly from the fall and she leaned on him a bit with a hand on his shoulder.

"Oh my hero, I just couldn't help myself but fall into your arms" she joked back trying to make light of the situation while Leo balanced her with an arm on her side, he chuckled slightly, his cheeks feeling a little warm.

They heard yelling from upstairs and saw Hypno being held by Raph and Mikey before disappearing from sight, the music lowered in volume little by little and the party goers looked around in confusion.

"So who enjoyed the bravery test? Now, if that didn't scare you the contents of the pool will! Be careful, those piranhas are very real" Victoire announced loudly with a bright grin for everyone to hear and her words elicited 'ooh's' and 'aaah's'.

A few minutes later the party had resumed, everyone excited as they believed the blank in their memory had all been a party trick, convinced further by Donnie who managed to fool them into letting him see their phones for another trick so he could remove the video they took.

Some others started pulling out the mothman piñata, with a couple of them crying to leave mothman alone and others eager to hit it.

Victoire looked around for the turtles and April, finally finding them by the entrance.

"Hey, where are you going?" at her words they all tensed looking back at her "We're making a line for the piñata and then we'll start the bonfire" she told them nearing and saw them all exchange glances.

Leo smiled nervously but before he could say anything April spoke "Ah well we already caused enough trouble as is, it'd probably be best to-"

"Really?" Victoire looked back at April with her arms crossed "I don't know if you guys remember this, but you just saved my life from a guy who wanted to get back at my parents for calling his show boring."

"But if we hadn't been here-" Raph started.

"I'd be fish bait" she deadpanned "Hypno didn't come here because of you guys, you were all just hanging at my party when a mutant hypopotamus decided to kidnap ME."

"But aren't you weirded out?" Donnie asked exasperated "How can you be so calm? You were in a deadly situation, you found out a bunch of your guests were mutants and your party was ruined! How are you taking it all in stride?"

"You underestimate how many people hate my parents or want something from them, I also don't live in the safest city in the world and my party looks perfectly fine, in fact I got a pool full of free piranha's for halloween, everyone will be talking about it" Victoire paused looking at everyone and then her eyes clashed with Leo's who stiffened in his place.

She kept looking straight at him while she continued "The only thing you guys have done since that whole fiasco started was protect me, you didn't owe me an explanation of who you were when it's obviously something that puts you at risk even if I did ask nor were you obligated to help me, but you did"

The guys all seemed to relax a little and Leo smiled recalling her words from when they were walking through the hallway, Raph and April looked a bit shy and Victoire smiled at this "I don't know about you but I actually thought we had a great time all together exploring the haunted house before that happened, I don't think I've laughed like that in a while" she was the one looking a bit sheepish now "So no, I'm not weirded out that my new friends are a bunch of ninja turtles with magic weapons, that's literally the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me."

They all looked at Victoire with wide eyes and a small hopeful smile grew on all their faces as she called them her new friends, she returned the smile with a soft one of her own.

Victoire huffed, being suddenly attacked by a hug from Mikey, she smiled into it, hugging back as the rest joined in, even Donnie but mostly with his metal arms.

"Let's go Victoire!" Mikey exclaimed separating from the hug "I wanna see if we got the most stickers during the bravery test!"

"Just call me Vic, Angelo" she grinned at his excitement.

"Alright! I want to hit that piñata!" Raph exclaimed with a fist in the air followed by a chorus of 'yeah's' while they walked back and Victoire warned them to go last so everyone else had a chance to get a turn.

Leo walked beside her while the others happily rejoined the party, Vic turned to look up at him and he smiled questioningly.

"So, could you just make a portal anywhere? Like Japan, Germany, etc?" She asked.

"Oh ho hoh, I can make portals to even cooler places than those" Leo smirked "Have ever heard of the hidden city?"

Adrift 4

ROTTMNT Fanfic Summary:

Leonardo isn’t rescued from the Krang Prison Dimension by his brothers, forced to flee from his cellmate in the void. The greatest ninja warrior of all time has to learn how to adapt to his new home, traversing low gravity, discovering the usefulness of spaceship corpses from worlds far beyond his own, and finding ways to survive such a harsh abandoned world.

Chapters: 1, 2, 3

AO3 Chapter 4

Chapter Four: Neon Leon Sails the Seven Galaxies

Word Count: 3.1k

Warnings: Blood, descriptions of bleeding

Leo had been hopping from shadow to shadow, diving from gaping hole to skinny crevice as he maneuvered his way through the new debris field, trying to keep his eyes alert for any other life forms or things that may be useful. He slowed in his exploration as nothing was catching his eye, either his own fault for not knowing how to use it or for it being too decayed to guess what the original uses might have been, not wanting to rush his way around and waste all of his energy. He wasn't feeling starved yet, but his hunger was definitely on the incline.

His hand still held his loyal sword to his side, ready to bolt if he saw even a hint of a pink glaring face. He paused when he found another piece of wreckage from the Technodrome, wearily eyeing his surroundings as he cautiously made his way over. His feet met the platform and he silently ran to the nearest shadow, working his way over to a wall that had caught his attention.

It was made of pink and blue fleshy material that seemed to be incorporated into 80% of the ship's parts, covered with and dripping a purple fluid. Leo got within reach of it, dead set on not touching it unless he thought it would be useful. He wasn’t sure why he was inspecting it, maybe his curiosity was finally coming around from when he first witnessed the creations of the Krangs.

Was it living flesh? He didn’t know. Was this the remains of one of the other Krangs? He didn’t know that either.

He stuck his tongue out in disgust either way as he watched it ooze more of the purple fluid. Leon was scared to touch it, wondering if it would infect him as it did Raphael. He hesitantly poked it with the end of his sword, watching as it flopped around under his ministrations.

Okay, so it wasn’t alive, or it was really good at pretending it wasn’t being stabbed. Leo watched it a little longer, quirking a brow as he leaned over to sniff it. It smelled like rancid raw fish, wet and cold to boot.

He coiled away dramatically, gagging as he turned away from it. Yep, inspection over, he was not satisfied with his findings, but he didn’t want to stick around any longer.

-----------

The famous Neon Leon had been wandering for what he was going to assume was a few hours, his muscles starting to ache again from how tense he had been all day… or night? There wasn’t a sun or moon that he could see, just a constant light. This was making his head hurt trying to do all the thinking like Donnie. How could his brother keep up with doing that all the time?

Leo loved shutting his brain off and just vibing with his brothers, at least until he recently was forced to stop doing that. He sighed as his mind drifted away from him, taking a rest in a dark alcove, only having scavenged some wires and a small pipe he found and thought could be useful.

He thought about how he had a lot to apologize to Raphael about, he didn’t think everything he said during their reunion was enough to make up for the two years they spent at each other’s necks. He needed to apologize to Mikey and Donnie too once he got back, his hand cupping the back of his head, his fingertips lightly brushing against the photo secured there. He was flooded with shame as the memories came surging to the forefront of his mind.

How many times had he forced his brothers to step in between him and Raph, trying to keep them from getting into physical fights over and over? He had heard Mikey crying to Donnie about it one night, and it kept his side of disagreements from blowing up only for a few days, long forgotten when they got under each other’s skin again.

He only fought back against Raph because he didn’t want to accept the role, it was Raph’s role! It always had been, not Leo’s. Why did dad make him take it?

Leo cradled his head now as he curled in on himself, thinking more and more about how sorry he was. Sometimes he used to wonder if Raph only got upset because he wanted to be leader again, but now that he knew the weight of it all, having to be the umbrella that protected them from the rain of the world, he understood why Raph had challenged him so many times.

He wasn’t trying to lecture Leo about being a bad leader, he wasn’t trying to push him away, he was only being his big brother and looking out for him. He wanted to help him be the best version of himself. He was afraid, and maybe that made Leo afraid too.

Maybe a small part of him realized it was fear, but he thought it was the fear that Leo wasn’t good enough, that they couldn’t trust him. They never had to like this before, and look where it got all of them. Look where it got him.

Leon sighed as his pity party continued in his head, letting his arms hang over his knees as he looked out from his hiding spot. If this was all he was going to think about, he didn’t need to keep sitting here, he could be using that energy to keep looking for supplies. He scurried out of the alcove, making his way over to an almost intact ship, his heels aching a little once he landed on it.

He made his way to a hole in the hull, crawling in and igniting his sword again. The ship wasn’t very large, but it was one of about three now that he had found that wasn’t decimated like everything else floating around out there. He spotted what looked to be a giant destroyed flag, grabbing it to see if he could find a logo or something on it out of curiosity. It was a drained red color, but if it did have a symbol on it, it faded off a long time ago.

He was a little disappointed by how boring that was, but he decided to take it with him, maybe it would get cold here, or he could use it for bandaging if something totally not Krang-related happened. It was about twice the size of his chest, he did his best to fold it up and wrap it around his belt, using one of the metal coils he found earlier to secure it there.

Once he was satisfied he returned to searching around the ship, cutting through a few containers in the hope of anything useful. He decided to take some thin bright orange wires he found sticking out of the side of the wall of the ship and carefully took little squares of hard plastic he saw floating around in the air, they could be handy for crafting things if he thought of a need for them. It was small and easy to carry so he might as well take them, he could just toss them back into the endless void if he didn’t want them anymore.

There was still no sign of food, which made his mood sour more and more as every search came up empty. He hadn’t spotted any other living things, which he supposed was a blessing as much as a curse, as he traversed further into the unknown. He had regrettably developed the habit of licking his lips as his hunger and thirst started to grow.

He tried, he really did, not to think about what to do if he couldn’t find something to eat. What options did he have? Even if he tried to think about what his turtle side was capable of, he was certain metal, foam, and cloth were not compatible with his stomach.

His stomach growled as he found another ship and he ignored it as he started breaking open a window with the hilt of his sword to crawl in and search. His eyelids felt heavy, maybe it had been an entire day of fruitless searching, but he wasn’t sure. His back was starting to ache as well, a dull and throbbing reminder of his injury that was growing by the second as he made his way around the small ship he was in.

This one was more empty than the others he had found, nothing to even cut open to search. He started to head back to the window he broke, ready to let dread sit in that he might starve, but an all too familiar shadow flew over the ship. His blade’s light went out the moment he saw it, like a candle taken out by a breeze. His eyelids suddenly didn’t feel heavy anymore as he shuffled away into the shadows with wide eyes, watching as Krang’s silhouette loomed hundreds of feet above him.

He couldn’t breathe, his throbbing shell’s ache increasing tenfold as he watched him, panic set in as the large robot suit came closer. Should he just portal somewhere else now? There was no way Krang knew he was there, this had to be some kind of sick and twisted coincidence.

He firmly held his katana, his hand clenching harder as he swore their eyes met when he was close enough to see him clearly. Krang seemed to be searching for something, was he still hunting him? He forced himself to continue holding his breath, silently thanking his turtle side that he could do so for long periods of time, as Krang drifted by. The side of one of his arms brushed against the ship Leo was hiding in, the action making his hiding place slowly turn towards where he was headed.

Leo never felt fear like this, not knowing if he was being played with or if he was going to get away this time. Krang didn’t turn back as he moved further away, Leo’s ship still slowly turning, giving him a full view of what Krang was looking for.

He was heading straight towards a busted part of the Technodrome that Leo had already investigated. Krang landed on the platform, his large robot stomping up to where fleshy architecture began. For a moment Leo worried that he might have left some kind of evidence, a trail for Krang to follow him from, but Krang didn’t even bother to inspect it.

Leo saw him kneel down, confusion mixing in with his fear as he saw Krang dismount his suit. This could’ve been an opportunity, but Leo was not about to risk a fight with Krang in his condition, even if he wasn’t in his fancy robot. He had beaten them before without it, he wasn’t going to make the mistake of forgetting that.

Leo decided he might need to see what he was doing, it could be valuable to his survival here. If Krang was making a weapon or trying to rebuild the ship, he needed to make it his goal to stop that in its tracks. He returned to his earlier technique of only traversing the shadows, not allowing a single sound to escape him, even though he worried Krang might hear his heart hammering in his chest as he got closer.

He got as close as he dared, perching on a ledge off to the right of the wreckage Krang was on, close enough to hear him if he said anything useful. Leo was hoping he talked to himself, he had all the other supervillain cliche’s perfected, was it really unreasonable for Leo to hope he monologued to himself too? He couldn’t resist the smirk that spread across his face as Krang started muttering to himself.

Bingo.

“I’ll find that ‘teenage mutant ninja turtle’… Ruining our plans…. How could such a simple creature achieve something like that?” Krang continued to grumble to himself, grabbing ahold of the fleshy wall of the Technodrome, making Leo fight off the urge to vomit as Krang pulled it into his mouth, sucking on it. Leo had only ever been this grossed out when Raph would follow through on dares to eat something gnarly off of the sewer floor when they were kids. He covered his mouth and forced his body not to jerk, his throbbing shell a harsh reminder that sudden moves were not good for him or for his hiding spot.

He didn’t even want to begin thinking about what that stuff was made of, and now he grimly knew what witnessing this horrific event meant. The good news was that Leo had found a possible food source, the bad news was he didn’t know if he would ever be able to keep the “food” down long enough for it to matter. Krang continued to drink the purple juice off of the fleshy wall, the color seemed to drain from the part he was siphoning it off from.

Not an infinite source, Leo presumed. He had seen enough, he needed to get out of there. He tried to stand back up from his crouched position but lost his balance as he forgot about the gravity difference.

He held his breath as his eyes immediately snapped to Krang, who hadn’t seemed to notice. Maybe he didn’t make a loud enough sound to alert him, or maybe he just didn’t hear him, he couldn’t recall if he even made a sound in the first place. He needed to get away regardless, he wasn’t going to take any risks, he did his best to reach out to grab something to pull himself back to a surface to walk on.

His legs were his greatest asset right now, his shoulders were weak from searching all day and his shell’s ache was affecting the muscles there and vice versa.

His body went rigid as he felt rather than heard the all-too-familiar tremble in the air.

Leo reached for his sword immediately, swinging it without hesitation to make a portal, whipping his head around.

Krang was flying at him outside of his suit, one of his tentacles stretching out at him like the head of a harpoon. He didn’t have anything to push off of to go faster, there was no ground beneath him for his legs to kick off of. He thought he had found Krang in a state of vulnerability, the tables had turned in a fraction of a second over a simple clumsy move.

It was just like when Krang broke his shell, he felt the pain before he could register what happened. A sharp spike of pain spasmed across his right bicep before exploding with an unpleasant and sweltering heat under his skin, then he felt the warmth leaking out as his skin felt wet. Krang had literally ripped him a new one.

He had blood oozing from a new and sizeable gash spanning the outer side of his right arm, biting his lip to keep a yelp of pain from slipping out as the sting of the wound settled in, he could taste the iron in his mouth. Krang was on the wall behind him, a little below his earlier hiding spot, his eyes glowing as they glared at him from the shadows. He didn’t have enough time to strike again as the turtle spun into his own portal, but he did hear him as his vision was overtaken by blue.

“Next time, you lose that arm.” His voice was of conviction, a threat, and a promise. Leo dryly swallowed as he once again flew out into empty space after breaching through his portal. He willed it closed as soon as he got through, tears brimming in his eyes as he desperately gripped his arm. He had blood smearing all over his hand as he wildly looked around, he needed supplies, anything he could use to stop the bleeding.

He had never felt his mind swirl so violently before, feeling lightheaded again as panic set in, the steps he had learned for treating cuts while watching first aid videos with Donnie raced through his mind. What was he supposed to do first? Something to stop the bleeding, what stopped the bleeding?

Bandages. He needed a bandage, something to apply pressure with. What could do that?

He looked over his person, yanking the cord he used to tie the flag to him earlier free. Should he just slap the whole thing over it?

No, he needed more to change them to try to prevent infection or if they got too soiled, even though Leo had no idea how clean this thing was. So his options were to bleed out or fight off an infection. He chose the uphill battle rather than jumping into a guaranteed pit.

He did his best as he was still spinning, purposefully swapping his sword to his uninjured arm and holding the cloth with the other. He sloppily sliced the folded piece in half. He could care less about doing a better job, he was starting to get dizzy from the spinning and needed to patch himself up before any more surprises flew at him.

His hands shook as he tucked one half back into his belt and did his best to tightly wrap it on his arm, taking some of the small orange coils he found earlier to secure it, using his left arm and his teeth to pull them into knots. It burned, it hurt, it was throbbing, and it felt disturbingly moist. Nothing was comfortable about this situation, there was no relief, but Leo forced himself not to curl up from the pain. He had already sheathed his sword onto his back and was pressing his left hand down on the wound, helping hold pressure as he tightly closed his eyes to fight against the dizziness as he continued to spin.

He couldn’t catch a break, could he? He started to pant as he desperately tried to calm his mind, it was just a flesh wound, just a flesh wound. Leo clenched his teeth when his shell knocked into a new platform. It stung, the pain ringing through him in waves as he stayed in a fetal position.

At least he wasn’t spinning anymore, it was the only positive thing he could think of. His arm was still hot, but after holding his makeshift band-aid over the cut and not feeling it getting soaked, he added another positive to the list. His whole body was tingling, his muscles tremoring slightly as he started to uncoil his legs.

It was the adrenaline rush again, he was never going to get used to that feeling. He kept his arms tense as he held them taught, but pushed himself on his legs to find shelter. He needed a place to hide, at least until he was certain the bleeding had stopped so he could do more than just helplessly hold it.

You Sure? (ROTTMNT Leonardo Hamato x Kalani Rotasu {OFC})

Warnings: Some swearing, Spoilers for ROTTMTN Movie, Angst... some at least. Word Count: 1666 A/N: I swear I thought I posted this chapter a long time ago... apparently my dum-dum self didn’t like the dummy-sum I am.... Well here we go! and I know @mysticboombox has seriously been waiting since she is partially my beta reader with the snippets I give her lol.

And I know I gotta work on making lnks to the chapters and masterlist. I promise I’m gonna do that.

Part 3. Not A Date!

Standing in front of the mirror and adjusting his lapels for the 86th time, Leo was debating whether to keep a tie on or go without one and open the top button. His mind was full of possible “what if” scenarios in his mind.

What if she stands heim up?

What if she asks to stay down in the lair tonight?

What if she asks him to stay for the night?

What if she tries to kill him?!

“Getting cold feet, Leon?”

Blue let out a scream and spun around with his toothbrush in hand only to see Mikey and Raph with smug looking grins. Leo groaned and placed his toothbrush back in its place before looking back at his own reflection, with the company of Mikey and Raph.

“I’m not scared, just anxious okay.” Leo retorted before looking down in the sink.

The two brothers chuckled at their new leader as he shot them a glare through the mirror. Mikey came up to him and threw his arm across his brother’s shoulders.

“Don’t worry, it’s like riding a skateboard. Once you’ve done it once, it’s stuck with you for life.”

“It’s not that simple, Mikey. This is my ex-girlfriend we’re talking about. The owner of The Nexus Hotel and the Battle Nexus. She’s not all smiles and quick comebacks to my one liners.” Leo replied.

Raph chuckled slightly before looking back at his brother. “Look, we understand how nervous ya are. And we got your back. No matter what, we’ll figure this out together. Even if it means we go to the Hidden City to find the answer.”

“Besides, it’s not like she can fight you. You are on your A-Game, bro!” Mikey reassured him.

Leo chuckled at his little brother before realizing something. “Aren’t you supposed to be on a date with your girlfriend, Angelo?”

“Yes, but Mara is coming here to get me so we can take the turtle tank. Have a romantic picnic made by yours truly, and then lo and behold! Buh-BAM!” Mikey pulled out a small velvet box, making both of his older brothers gasp.

“No Way! Wait, where did you get the money?!” Leo asked, earning a serious nod from Raph.

Mikey rubbed the back of his neck and let out a nervous chuckle. “I got an etsy page and have been making requests of my sick spray paint art. And with that, Mr. Harrison and April helped pick out the ring.”

Raph and Leo hugged their baby brother and congratulated him. Mikey soon slipped out as he heard his girlfriend calling for him in the lair. As Raph and Leo watched their little brother leave, Leo let out a sigh before running a hand across his face and looking back at his reflection. Raph glanced back at his brother and placed a hand on his shoulder as a sign of reassurance. Blue had let out a small chuckle before smiling and looking back at his brother. After one last glance, Leo removed his blue tie and undid the top button before nodding to himself. If anything, he was gonna go out in style even if his ex refused his offer.

Waving and calling out that he was leaving to the rest of his family, Leo made his way to the surface and took to the rooftops to head to his destination and meet up with his ex-girlfriend at the Run of Mill Pizzeria. As he made his way to the alleyway to the secret entrance, Leo was taken back at the sight before him. A dark skinned woman with her dark violet hair in soft waves. Her black backless dress revealed the dip of her back as her dress draped down her legs to about mid calf. The slit on the back of her dress didn’t help with the thoughts that began to plague his mind.

‘C’mon Leo! This is not a date! Just a meet up to talk like civilized adults.’ He scolded himself as he cleared his throat to try and calm his nerves.

But it didn’t help after the woman turned to face him. Kalani, with her cloaking brooch perched over her right breast, looking over Leo and flashing a soft smirk and walking over to him. His Adam's apple bobbed in his throat as he watched her draw closer to him until they were both at arm’s reach.

“My, you sure clean up rather well. For a sewer dweller.” She stated, walking around him and her arms crossed.

Leo scoffed and placed his own hands on his hips. “At least I don’t have to wear a disguise.”

Kalani stopped in front of him with an unexpressive look, but a small smirk pulled at the corner of her lip before she touched her brooch and shifted back to her yokai self. Her teal skin still complimented her dress, if not better than in her human form. He thanked the higher power in the sky that she couldn’t hear his palpitating heart. Shifting slightly, he cleared his throat and offered his arm to her which surprised her greatly. Kalani glanced between himself and his offering before carefully looping her arm with his own. It felt a little awkward, but it was a welcoming feeling that spread across her body like a warm blanket. Entering the restaurant was like walking down memory lane; Yokai were enjoying their meals, talking and laughing. The smell of great Italian and unique cuisines filled their nostrils which both were on the verge of drooling.

“Señorita Rōtasu! It is an honor to see you again, my dear!” Señor Hueso, the owner of the establishment, beamed with glee as he welcomed her with open arms.

Kalani smiled and hugged the skeleton and only to find her place back next to Leo who smiled broadly at him, something that Hueso actually returned and nodded.

“Two, private booth please.” Kalani requested which Hueso accommodated with no questions asked.

Once he seated the two and left to get their drinks, Kalani rested her elbows and propped her chin in her hand. Her eyes scanned over Leo which, oddly enough, made the slider squirm slightly in his seat. It was as though they were back on their very first date, only for her to know exactly what was going to happen. But as he watched her, Leo couldn’t help but notice how calm she was. And a hint in her eyes that showed she was remembering something. Possibly their first official date here? And how much of a dork he was trying to impress her that night. He could see her shoulders relax, her whole body deflating into a comfortable posture and her own eyes softening. Relaxing himself, Leo leaned on his forearms that rested on the table and just… enjoyed her presence. He was feeling young again. Remembering how they were together, the smiles and bantering. But they were happy in the long run. Or so he believed.

“So, let’s get down to business shall we?” Kalani started as she sipped her water. “You said to me a few days ago that you-”

“What happened?” Leo interrupted, catching Kalani off guard.

But she wasn’t surprised. Her walls building up, Kalani sat back in her seat and swirled her water in its glass and looked at him with a bored look.

“I did not come here to walk down memory lane, Nardo. I came here to offer my services and make a proposition.”

Leo bit the inside of his cheek before making a mental note and putting a pin on the topic. She was right, for now at least. They had to stay focused. Taking a sip of his soda, Leo leaned on his arms and leaned closer to her causing her to lean a little as well. As he gestured for her to lean closer, which she obliged, the turtle smirked and flashed his dazzling pearly whites and winked at her. Letting out an annoyed scoff, Kalani began to slide out of the booth and stand as she straightened out her dress.

“If you’re not going to take this seriously, then this was a waste of my time. Good evening.” She said in a cold tone.

But a hand grabbed her forearm. Not tight, but not weak either. Looking back at the three digit hand that had her arm, she looked over to Leo who was sweating bullets. He was desperate, something that she had not seen from this turtle. Leo on the other hand had no clue what she was thinking, she put up her walls thickly to hide what she was thinking real well. But he needed her help and he knew that he could only trust her with this mission. With a soft sight, Kalani sat down but this time by his side. Leo scooted further to give her space and to keep his distance. As she removed her kappa kap and laid it on the table, she turned to him and rested her cheek in her hand.

Leo shifted slightly before rubbing the back of his neck as if he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

“Look, I’m sorry. It’s just…”

‘You’re still just as beautiful as the day we first met.’

“It’s just what, Nardo?” Kalani repeated, making Leo snap out of his daze.

Feeling caught, he thanked the Pizza Supreme in the Sky that the lights were low to hide his burning blush before clearing his throat.

“Look, you’re family. At least, still part of the family. And you know the Hidden City far better than me or my brothers do.” Leo explained. “Please, Kali. We need you. I need you.”

Kalani’s eyes widen slightly, her jaw slack. He wasn’t one to ask her, especially like this. It was throwing her off to see him be vulnerable. Biting the inside of her cheek to try and not sigh she nodded only to see her ex relax in his seat and soon explain everything that had been happening.
