Tentative Devotee AU (TBC Soon)

Leonardo is a Foot trainee, raised and trained by Lieutenant and Brute since he was 9. Life before then is fuzzy at best. — In the past several months, he's been going on his first proper missions, quickly aware of a persistent threat against the Foot Clan: 3 mutant turtles and a human who've foiled them time and time again.

What he wasn't aware of was that they were 4 siblings who never gave up on finding their missing brother.

CONTENT WARNING! This AU will explore: Mourning of family / Mourning of a child (who isn't actually dead, but believed to be). Violence is canon-typical up to the standards of the movie— That is also a reference point for the tone of this AU. There will be cult themes and dips into the topic of cult trauma, alongside family issues.

I didn't intend for this AU to be that big, but I realized I did want to give this a go and make at least something. It's my goal to finish this project eventually.

The AU will be told in segments, comics of various points of the story.

Bonus! Miscellaneous info that doesn't play big into this AU but matters enough to me:

Leonardo is transmasculine, uses he/they/xe pronouns and is referred to with primarily masculine terms.

A version of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo comics exists and it's Leo's second favorite comic series in this AU.

'Tentative Devotee' is the name of the fanfic I was originally going to write. It was just gonna be a 2-shot fic and a way to navigate some feelings as someone who was born and raised in, and eventually left, a cult.

The initial tone/direction of this AU was much different, Leo ending up in the Foot Clan under different circumstance (i.e. direct kidnapping from Lieutenant and Brute). I found this didn't quite work for me.

Does Leo ever go into the maze of death or other mystic places like the mystic library and the Hidden City?

And does he know about Piel and pirates!

Hueso takes Leo all over the place. As he doesn’t know that Draxum could potentially see him, he doesn’t worry about where Leo is seen or where he goes. He basically says to Leo ‘do what you like. But if you need help call me, and I will be there. And avoid breaking the law or putting yourself in danger where possible.’

I think he would be a very open dad, so Leo would just tell him all the things he’s done and wants to do or go see. Leo never had a reason to hide anything because Hueso never hid him from anything.

And that leads perfectly to Piel!

Piel came to run of the mill when Leo was still a baby, and when Piel saw that he had a Nephew, he realised he was missing out on his brother’s life, and missing out on his family. So that day Piel gave up his pirating career and became a vintage collector and seller!

They never hid from Leo that they had a past in piracy. And Hueso, of course, was hesitant to let Piel back into his life. But when he saw how much Piel spoiled and loved Leo he knew he had made the right call.

The other pirates are like distant aunties and uncles. They come to visit every now and then.

I don’t know Spanish so if it’s wrong let me know!

i won't get to use this plotline a lot in the comic (probably going to be included in the bonus fanfic episodes tho) but here's lifemission!splinter and a smol leo uwu splints was hyperfocused on finding his missing boys for a good bit, especially when leo was a tot. but he didn't know anyone back then so he had to bring leo during his search a lot. they sometimes get stuck somewhere when it's snowing or raining and he kinda hates himself for putting leo up through this shit.

luckily, he met hueso at some point and hueso volunteered to look after leo because he felt bad for the both of them. eventually, splints made hueso leo's godfather and boneman can't help but melt whenever leo calls him "tio hueso" 🥺 also leo had big separation anxiety (still has in the present, just keeps it on the down low) and splints leaving always causes him to shake a lot 💔 which ties back to him starting to knit as a way to cope 💙

was this just an excuse to draw papa splints and smol tot leo? mayhaps but SSSSSHH-

Horrotober Day 16- Blade(Yandere Rise Leo x Reader)

A/N, not important: Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.

-Ollie

CW: Kidnapping, implied abuse(mental and physical), manipulation, blood, death, off-screen murder, being carved into, being cut, wounds, yandere themes, dark themes

Words: 3255

Summary: Leo wants to make sure you'll never forget who you belong to again.

You walk through the restaurant with Leo by your side, his arm firmly around your waist. His gaze was forward and relaxed, a perfect mask to the world. No one noticed how tightly he was keeping you by his side, or the look of fear on your face.

“Smile, love,” He lightly chides, rubbing his thumb on your hip while moving towards the table Hueso was taking you both to. “You should be happy. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to take you out.”

You don’t respond to him, but the corners of your mouth crease up in a forceful manner before dropping down once more. Leo gives a breathy chuckle, his eyes swinging forward once more as he squeezes your side in warning. You knew he wouldn’t scold you here, not in public. Not with Hueso barely four feet in front of you both. A bitter feeling settles in your stomach as you look around the restaurant and see all the happy couples and families, making you grimace. You couldn’t tell if the feeling was from hunger, or envy.

You missed being able to come to places like this freely. Well, not places like this. While seeing the ins and outs of the yōkai world was interesting, you missed being in human restaurants and buildings. You missed being with humans, with your family and friends. Now, all you had was him.

Leo smiles down at you as if sensing you were thinking of him, his wry smile and falsely innocuous eyes fooling everyone but you. Leo’s grip leaves your waist, a smug smile covering his face as he pulls back your seat. He was acting once more, playing the gentlemanly boyfriend that was just oh so in love with his little human partner. You sit in the chair Leo pulled out for you, not voicing the millions of insults and complaints that stewed under your skin. You don’t pay attention as Leo sits down across from you, not hearing as he converses with Hueso and orders for the both of you. You barely even notice Leo calling your name until he takes your hand, knocking you out of your trance.

“Behave. This is a date. You’re supposed to enjoy it.” He lightly chides, still smiling while waiters and staff bustles past. He squeezes your hand, something that would be comforting if this were anyone else, if this were any other situation, but you can’t help but shrink back as he wanted. It was a warning, a small gesture to remind you not to draw attention to yourself or him.

He grins, relaxing his hold on your hand but not yet letting go. He relaxes in his seat, letting his legs cross over each other and his shell presses back against the chair. His loose hand drums on the table, dark eyes scanning the restaurant. “Man, it’s been ages since I was able to take you here. Reminds me of when we first started dating.”

His words make your stomach churn, the memories of your first date, of the first warning signs making you want to hurl. If you had run away then, maybe you wouldn’t even be in this mess. You look into his eyes, the darkness that’s swirling just under the surface making you shudder. No. Even if you left early on, he would still find you. There was no escaping him. The chains you wore at the lair were a testament to that, the locket around your neck being akin to a collar.

“Speak. This is a date. You’re supposed to be having fun.” He insists, squeezing your hand once more before dropping it to his side. You open your lips for a moment, brows furrowed as you try to come up with something to say. There was nothing you wanted to say to him, nothing that would be said on a date. You doubted he would appreciate the slew of insults your brain was cooking up.

“What did you order?” You croak out, wincing at the shudder of your voice. He hums, his fingers still drumming the table. You couldn’t tell if your words satisfied him, but he didn’t say a thing. Instead, his grin grows to finally meet his eyes, his lips pursing before breaking open to show his teeth.

“Half smuck-worm, half plain cheese.” He responds, clearly pleased. You shudder at the thought of the yōkai dish, the memory of the wriggling worm encasing your mouth in long gone slime. It’s been almost two years and you still remember just how awful eating it was. Leo doesn’t seem to mind your look of disgust, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “And two sodas for the both of us. I ordered your favorite.”

The look he was giving you in this moment paired with his current mannerisms reminded you so much of the Leo you first started dating, the Leo before the possessive and obsessive nature ran rampant. Maybe it was always there, hiding just below the surface, but no matter what the situation, it was now here to stay. You shift in the seat uncomfortably. You hated when he looked like this. It was too close to reeling you back in, to making you forget the hurt and pain that came with being in his arms. It made you forget the chains he locked around your ankles and the pills he forced down your throat. It was an evil look, one of deceit and arrogance. You refused to let it hook you in again.

“Thank you.” You manage to say, keeping your tone even as to not make the simple phrase seem like an insult. You didn’t want to anger him while he was doing this for you. While you hated being out with him, you loved the new freedom. Being outside was something to be cherished, being in a proper restaurant was something to be treasured.

Leo nods, his attention being overtaken by the young yōkai that seemed to be your waiter. The owl yokai stumbles forward, his clawed talons clicking on the floor as he walks. With a flourish of his arm, he sets the dish on your table, the drinks following close behind. He nods and Leo and winks at you. You hang your head slightly, mumbling a thanks as you try to grab a pizza before Leo can do anything. The scowl on his face made it perfectly clear he saw it too.

“The nerve of some people, why I oughta…” His hands seem to curve together, as if he was smashing the air between his hands into a ball. His eyes glint red, his mood thoroughly soured. You mentally curse the waiter for what he did, knowing it would be much harder to keep him calm once he was set off like this. At least you weren’t the focus of his anger this time though.

Leo frowns, taking a slice from his half of the pizza and takes a bite. The worms that decorate the top seem to almost scream, desperately trying to escape being eaten. You grimace, looking away from the gross display while you chew on your own food.

“I can’t blame him I guess,” He muses, still grumpy from the waiter's supposed show of affection. As you watch him interact with the other patrons, you doubted it truly was a flirt. He seemed to be overly exaggerated with everyone else too. Leo continues, setting his pizza down on the plates provided, taking a sip from his drink. “You’re the best thing here. Still, If he does that again, I’m going to break his beak. He doesn’t get to mess with what’s mine.”

You nod, seemingly agreeing with Leo while you chew on your slice of pizza. If you were eating, he wouldn't expect you to talk. Manners, and all that jazz. You glance over at the owl server as he ducks back into the kitchen, your heart bleeding for the young man. His life didn’t need to be ruined over Leo’s recent temper. You take a long drink from your glass while Leo pokes boredly at his food, trying to wrap your head around Leo as a whole. He was never quick to anger, and he still wasn’t when it came to you. But when others messed with you, or caused you some form of harm? It was like all that learned patience disappeared, his temper flaring quicker and quicker with each incident that happened.

“So,” You start, staring at the pizza in your hand as if it were an ancient artifact you just discovered. “Why take me here?”

Leo looks up, his foot nudging your shin from under the table. “Do you not like it here?”

You shrug, finishing off your slice before dusting your hands off to the side of you. “Just curious. It’s a fine place, just not what I expected when you mentioned taking me out.”

Leo rolls his eyes, grinning cheekily at you. “What, expecting a topside five-star restaurant?”

You roll your eyes, scowling at the blue turtle. “No, just didn’t think you’d take me somewhere with so many people.”

Leo hums, placing another slice of cheese pizza on your plate while eating his own. You glance down at the slice and sigh. It was clear he wanted you to eat. After going on a hunger strike the first three months he took you, he was always paranoid about you and food.

“I thought you’d like it here better. This was the place of our first date after all.”

You sigh and nod again. It was the best response to anything he said. The safest. Leo eyes your face for a moment before grunting, pushing himself back from the table and standing up. You watch him, confusion clouding your eyes as you make to stand too, assuming he wanted to leave after your comments.

“Sit back down, I just need to use the restroom.” Leo says softly, pushing you back into your chair. “Stay here and keep your eyes down. I don’t want you talking to anyone.”

You nod, watching him with doe-eyes and a frightened look. Despite the terror and pain he brought, you didn’t want him to leave. Leo leaving you alone was an unknown, a scenario you hadn’t accounted for. You nod dumbly, furrowing your eyebrows. This was either a trap, or the perfect chance to escape. Did you want to risk it?

Leo’s hand clamps down on your shoulder, directing your gaze to him once more. He squeezes firmly, his voice stern and leaving no room for complaints.

“Don’t talk to anyone. I mean it.”

Leo disappears a moment later, walking across the open room and entering a door to the side. You sit there, uncertain what to do. Would asking for help be worth it? What if he was watching?

You shake your head, your stomach in knots at the opportunity you were letting slip by. It was best to stay put and keep him nice. If this was a test, the better you passed, the more chances you would get to actually run.

You nearly fall out of your chair when you feel a feathered hand on your shoulder, your eyes bugging out of your head. You looked up at the perpetrator, your heart not slowing down despite the non-danger you were in. It was only the waiter, his beak twisted in a nervous smile.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you. You’re just the first human I’ve seen.”

You nod, breathless. You start to open your mouth to respond, but Leo’s warning comes flooding back. You lock your lips and shake your head, trying to shoo the man away. You didn’t care if you came off as rude or standoffish in the moment. The closer he was to you, the more danger you were both in.

He places his hand back on your shoulder, trying to comfort you in a way. “Hey, I’m really sorry if I scared you. I just thought you were really cute and uh…”

You glare at the yōkai, willing him to leave. He chuckles nervously, the feathers around his neck brustling slightly. He seemed to be unaware of the danger nor the social awkwardness he just subjected you both to. If Leo was actually your boyfriend, you’d be chewing his ear off about how rude this was.

You sit there and sweat as he continues to ramble on, complimenting you while his feathers continue to bristle and puff as he avoids your gaze. He seemed completely enamored, but you doubted it was from anything that he had seen through your and Leo’s interaction. He most likely just saw a human with a mutant and was trying to shoot his chance. It’s not like humans were a common occurrence after all.

The reasoning behind his borderline pathetic ramble didn’t excuse it though, and you were quickly growing tired of his words. You muster a displeased look on your face and try to shove him back, hoping it would signal to him that he needed to go. It didn’t however, the shove only made him shift his stance. It wasn’t until Leo grabbed him by the neck and threw him down that his talking stopped. A small scream leaves you as you watch Leo hold himself back from ripping the yōkai apart there and then. He turns back to you, not minding the eyes watching you both from the incident.

“Get up. We’re leaving.” He hisses, taking your arm and dragging you up from your seat. He shoves a couple bills on the table to pay for the meal, shoving you through a portal before you can even blink.

You land on the plus mattress Leo had, your knees quickly moving to your chest as you scramble to your feet while Leo enters the room as well. His gaze was dark as he glared down at you, his hands balled into tight fists at his side.

“What was that?!” He demands, making you flinch from the tone of his voice. You take a shaky breath, hoping he would give you enough time to explain.

“He just came up and started rambling! I didn’t want him there, but he wouldn’t leave!”

“Oh please, you didn’t even tell him to stop or go away! You liked their attention.”

You bristle at his words, your face scrunching up as you scowl. “You told me not to talk to anyone!”

“Don’t make me hit you.”

You pause at the growl in his tone and the severity of his words. Your jaw shuts with a quiet click of your teeth, Leo towering over you while you sit on the bed. He huffs slightly, clearly wanting to do something, but fighting with his own loose morals. He curses and shoves you down, grabbing the chain that lived on the wall and attaching it to your ankle. He backs up, his hands still shaking as he tries to even his breathing.

“I’ll be back. Don’t try anything stupid.”

With a flash of blue, he’s gone. You stare at the spot he last was, millions of thoughts running through your mind and each one being about how completely screwed you were. You lay on the bed for hours, your hands twitching and mind reeling from the fear of the unknown. You hoped he would be more calm when he returned. Your leg was still weak from the last time he snapped it.

You weren’t sure how long had passed before Leo waltzed back into the room through a flash of blue, his green skin painted in dark red. The smell of iron and death immediately hits you, your nostrils burning at the scent. He looks at you, smiling softly down. He leans close, but doesn’t touch you, his terrifying presence alone being enough to keep your eyes on his.

“I got rid of your little friend,” He hums, his voice back to its usual smooth tone. He looks proud of himself, his hands dripping with the blood of someone taken far too early. Tears spring in your eyes, your breathing becoming erratic. Leo stands up fully once more, rolling his eyes. “I’m going to go wash off. When I get back, I expect you to be calm. You’ll need to be still when I punish you for your transgression.”

He doesn’t let you respond before he’s out the door, leaving your whimpering person behind. You curl into yourself, trying to control your breathing as you attempt to decode his sentence. You were certain you were about to gain a broken limb. Or worse, lose one.

Leo returns all too soon, his skin still damp and his person void of his wrappings. His mask was gone two, the crescents that suddenly looked way too close to blood standing bright and proud. He strides over to you, leaning down to meet you. His eyes are dark, the shower doing little to better his mood.

“Since you can’t seem to remember who you belong to,” Leo hisses, grabbing your jaw and bringing your face unnervingly close to his own. The red marks on his face seem to be dimly glowing, his eyes boring into your own as he sneers down at you. Your heart was thudding in your chest, your body vibrating from the force of the life-giving organ. “I’ll give you something that will never let you forget again.”

He reaches into the pouch on his belt, pulling out a sharp kunai knife. You eye the blade, starting to squirm and cry. He shifts his hand so it’s over your mouth and muffling your cries, his hand quickly being wet by your tears. He shifts himself on top of you, pinning your arm with one knee and your torso with the other. You were stuck, immobilized by Leo and your own fear. Your screams increase tenfold as the knife starts to dig into the inner meat of your forearm, the cuts going from your elbow crease to your wrist. It takes a few minutes, but the agony stretches the short amount of time into hours for you, tears flooding your cheeks and screams running your throat raw.

You’re shaking when he moves off of you, not moving in fear of irritating the bloody wounds and making it hurt even more. Leo digs through his drawers for bandages and cleaning supplies, but you don’t care as he starts to treat the wounds he caused. Every press of the hydrogen peroxide soaked cotton balls set your arm aflame once more, making your sobs and screams start to be molded together into one. Leo’s eyes glance at your face, his looks softening ever so slightly.

“This was your fault.” He mumbles, eye muscles furrowed as he continues to clean your arm. You don’t care to hear him nor listen, only focused on the pain radiating from your arm. You try to move away, but Leo holds firm. He was determined to play doctor now that he caused the wound.

Right before he starts to wrap the bandage, you catch a glimpse of your arm. Your flesh was torn up in jagged strokes despite how careful Leo tried to be. Nothing could save you from the image that would be burned into your mind, the forever scars that would mark you as his. “Leonardo” was now carved into your arm, the blood bubbling up making it stand out against your skin. You turn your head to the side and vomit off the bed, unable to take the sight of it.

I'm totally gonna create art for this - already have - but in the meantime I should probably explain this concept lol.

So basically, in one way or another, the turtles each stumble upon the Hidden City at around age 8 to 10, and decide to keep it a secret from their bros >:3

Leo is the first one, technically, when he goes out to explore NYC when he's eight, and discovers Run of the Mill Pizza, because I'm obsessed with the Uncle Hueso idea, but he doesn't go to the actual city until much later, though he knows of it's existence.

I actually kinda started writing this starting bit? It's totally unedited and missing bits but whatever, I'll include it under the cut.

Leo peered up at the manhole cover from the bottom of the ladder, imagining what he would see if he climbed up and lifted it. The young turtle mutant didn't get long to think about it, hearing his brothers call for him.

"I'm coming!" The 8 year old ran to catch up with his family, sending one last considering look at the rungs of the ladder.

Later that night, after his brothers were asleep and his father was dozing in front of the TV, the red-eared slider crept out of bed, utilizing all the stealth skills he'd learned from the lessons Splinter thought he hadn't been paying attention to. Once safely out of the Lair, Leo practically sprinted down the route to the manhole cover he'd spotted earlier. There were entrances closer to the Lair, of course, but this way, if he got caught sneaking back in he could say he was just wandering around the sewers.

Reaching the top of the ladder, the slider paused for a moment, savoring the adrenaline of what he was about to do. Splinter never even let them explore the sewers without him, nevermind letting Leo venture out on his own. And now he was about to go Topside!

Shoving at the metal disc with all his strength, Leo cautiously poked his head out, eyes wide to take it all in. Of course, this wasn't his first time on the surface – Splinter had taken all the boys with him once or twice for scavenging trips, especially when they were younger. But now, Leo was here on his own! This was so exciting!!

The slider climbed out of the manhole, tugging the cover almost back into place, but leaving a small gap so he could get in later, as he wasn't sure how to lift it from the top side.

Bouncing in place, Leo looked around the alley he'd surfaced in with a wide grin, wondering what he might find.

Hmm. There wasn't much in this alleyway. In fact, it was pretty much empty. Nothing but a few scraps of cardboard and a colourful graffiti tag decorated the concrete.

Well, Leo didn't come here just to hang out in one measly alleyway! Full of confidence, the eight-year-old marched to the end of the alley, pulling up the hood of his sweater as he rounded the corner.

Even with the late hour, there were still people on the streets, eyes focused on getting to their destination. No one paid attention to the small figure in a battered green hoodie hurrying along, sticking close to the wall.

Leo ducked into the next alley, heart pounding. Okay, so that was a lot more nerve-wracking without Dad or Raph than he'd thought it would be.

Luckily, he realized as he took in his surroundings, this alleyway was much more interesting than the one he'd come out of. There was a huge dumpster on one side, and the walls were covered in graffiti. Even better, the far end of the alley was actually a corner, meaning there was more to explore!

Leo started poking around, kicking at the small piles of trash and inspecting the locked dumpster. Not finding anything cool, he moved on, admiring the graffiti.

He ended up turning two more corners while following the trail of graffiti, and found himself facing the street again. The constant something of spray paint broke off at the corner, meaning the skull painting in this alley stood out sharply.

Bla blah blah some yokai open the door to run of the Mill while Leo watches from behind a dumpster or smth

Leo's eyes sparkled. Was that actual magic?! Donnie said magic was impossible, but Donnie also said it was impossible for the two of them to be twins, and Leo knew that wasn't true. The turtle bounced forward with glee, eager to see where those people had gone, only to stop short when the portal closed in his face.

Leo frowned. Clearly, he just hadn't been fast enough. Wait, what was that gesture they used to open it? Leo lifted his hand, trying to mimic the pose he'd seen, and wiggled it with great concentration.

Nothing happened.

Huffing, the boy tried again. And again. And was glaring at the wall, ready to shout at it to let him in, when he heard someone approaching the alleyway. Eyes lighting up with an idea, Leo darted behind the nearest dumpster and peeked out, watching carefully.

Sure enough, another mutant-like person entered the alley, heading for the graffiti tag. Leo stared hard at the gesture they made, but instead of waiting and trying to copy it, he darted in behind them as soon as the portal opened.

As soon as he was inside, Leo stopped. And stared.

There were so many people! And none of them were human.

"This is the coolest place I've ever seen," Leo whispered to himself in awe. He slowly started walking further in, craning his neck to stare at every little detail.

So entranced was he, that he didn't see the bony figure approaching until he nearly face-planted into their suit.

"Where are your parents, little pepino?"

Leo froze and looked up at the sound of the voice. Towering over him, arms crossed, was a frowning... skeleton?!

Instantly forgetting to feel guilty at being caught, Leo blurted out, "are you dead?!" His eyes were wider than they'd been all evening, he was sure. Because, come on, that was a walking, talking, skeleton man!!!

The aforementioned skeleton man, somehow, raised an eyebrow. "No, I am not dead. Have you never seen a skeleton yokai before?"

"No," Leo responded, eyes still wide. "What's a yokai?"

"Que pasa con este niño," the yokai muttered under his breath, then continued in a normal tone, "Yokai is what we are. You, me, and everyone in this restaurant is a yokai."

"Oh. Hey, what was that language you were talking in?"

The yokai looked at him weirdly, but Leo really did want to know! He'd only said one sentence but it sounded so cool! Leo already knew he wanted to learn it.

"Spanish. Why are you here, niño?"

"Uhhhhhh... Dad... sent me?" Leo cringed a little at the blatant lie, and decided to distract him with another question. "Can you say something in Spanish?!"

The yokai sighed. "Tell me your name and I'll consider it."

He beamed. "I'm Leo! What's your name?"

"You can call me Señor Hueso."

"Whoa, is your name in Spanish?! Wait wait wait you gotta say something in Spanish now! I told you my name!"

"Deberías estar en le cama, tortuguita."

"Coooool! What does that mean?"

"It means 'you should be in bed, little turtle'. Let's go, out, time for you to go home." Hueso began pushing at Leo's shoulders, nudging him towards the door.

"Whaaaat? Come on, you can't kick me out! I just got here!" Leo dug his heels in, refusing to be pushed.

"This is a restaurant, not a daycare. I do not have time to be babysitting lost children. Out!" With one final shove, Señor Hueso let go of Leo and prepared to shut the portal.

The turtle mutant stumbled and whirled around as soon he was free. "Wait! You're just gonna let a child wander around New York alone? At night? Isn't that illegal?"

"Well, since you won't tell me where your parents are..." Hueso trailed off with a raise of his eyebrow, waiting to see if Leo would offer any more information.

Leo huffed in defeat. He didn't want to admit it, but he was getting tired, as it was already far past his usual bedtime. "Fine, fine, I'm going! But I'll be back tomorrow!"

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

Leo did in fact come back the next day. Hueso wasn't there when Leo scampered in behind a weird frog yokai, so the slider was quick to scurry off into the restaurant, hoping he could hang out for a little while before Hueso found him and kicked him out again.

You better explain why leo and usagi at first became bf/bf and then broke up and then bf/bf (I think)???

Why did they break up at first?

I will try my very best to explain my idea for the Leo & Usagi story line

It will be a messy ride cause there are some parts that are missing + my English is mid so buckle up.

(Important information beforehand: this is just the base idea- things might change- but for now- it is what it is)

GOOD? FUTURE - Leo & Usagi

A little bit about Usagi yuichi first:

He’s a rabbit Yokai from another dimension, who came to this reality cause apparently his grand-grandfather was a battle Nexus champion, and Usagi is going - or at least tries to go the same path that he did, and to become the greatest Samurai there is.

He has limited time on this earth to achieve his goals before he will need to go back.

(I’ll explain later the dimensions hopping thing)

But to his surprise- to become the battle nexus champion is much more difficult than he expected - and furthermore - staying in this dimension is harder too-! So he gets a job, Between his training and fighting in the Naxus. Yep- at the pizza restaurant-

From a samurai to a waiter-

And that’s when he meets-

Him 🙄

(Around season 2)

In the classic way of serving the turtles table, Usagi got the first glimpse of Leo and instead of sharing a joke or something, the two somehow end up arguing a little bit about something, and from that day,

It was hate from first sight <3

Usagi tried not to serve them specifically but the universe had other plans and he always ended up doing it, he even asked

“You guys don’t have other places to go to??”

Which Leo replied

“I wouldn’t suggest to tell your customers to go to other places - not great for the business” or something along the lines.

It didn’t got better when the rabbit found out they were Ninja’s as well, and that Leo specifically used a sword similar to him- like- this loud mouth, arrogant- Kappa???

They were more similar that they wanted to admit.

In Leo’s end, he thought messing with Usagi was more funny than actually disliking him? He wasn’t a fan of him don’t get him wrong, he tolerated him at most-

Until some shenanigans happen- I think Leo was on another adventure with hueso that involved Usagi somehow and the two ended up fighting along side each other-

Which Usagi hated fighting along side a ninja but Leo? He thought he was pretty cool- and even tried to befriend Usagi, but the rabbit didn’t want to waste his time on building friendships when his time here were limited, and he will probably will end up leaving and never seeing them again, so he brushed Leo off, which only causes Leo to annoy the hell out of him even more.

I believe it’s only the beginning point of Leo starting to look on Usagi in a more positive light, so no crushes yet-

And from this point forward, the two will meet more and more by accident- or fate- hehe- and fight alongside at times, until one point that Leo said he could take Usagi out with ease- (he actually meant it as a joke- but Usagi took it seriously) and excepted the challenge- cause he will gladly fight and WIN against Leo who- he totally didn’t learn to appreciate a little bit and absolutely didn’t maybe like the times the hang out together- even though most of the time he was his waiter or they where in a life and death situation- that’s not the point-

And that’s when they started to fight aka train together. Their first fight , I’m not sure yet who won actually hehe- BUT since their first fight together, Leo took notes on Usagi fighting abilities, you know- just in case, and in their first fight, Usagi noticed how well Leo predicts his moves, a little to well-! And that’s annoys him as well- cause he’s not predictable!! Or so he believes.

So from fighting it became training, it didn’t happen often, cause each had there own life, but if they did train, it wasn’t in the turtle lair, but on a building roof top or something, and usually by accidentally meeting each other cause to this point- they don’t have each-others phone numbers yet-

BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN THE SHREDDER ATTACKED.

Usagi, used to see the turtles at leastttt once a week in a random pizza night, suddenly noticed he haven’t heard from them two or three weeks already. Not that he care or anything- they weren’t friends- or something- sure did he enjoy talking with the Red one the most and likes the orange one good energy? Sure sure, just a casual relationship nothing more. Did he get a weird side eye from the purple one that made him feel like he kinda hates his guts? Maybe- he didn’t like them either! They were Annoying as hell too-!

And sure, maybeeee it was nice to talk to someone once in a while, and train with another person, who for some reason kinda gets him but he also wants to push him off a building, his dumb, smug face and his stupid very un-funny (funny) jokes Leonardo might - not be as bad as he originally thought. But again, not friends or anything-

So he totally wasn’t absolutely relived when he saw the gang again , some bandages up, some not, but something felt different, they acted the same but with sense of tension between them. They didn’t elaborate why they were missing for so long- obviously- not friends- remember? But just knowing they were alright was enough for Usagi.

His and Leo’s next meeting was a bit different. The blue one came to the restaurant alone, which did happen sometimes, but instead of going to mess with his boss, or think which Pizza will be the best way to say “I’m sorry”, he just set there all by himself for sometimes now it actually made him feel somewhat bad for him so he tried to- well- he wasn’t sure.

He came up to him and they started to talk a little, it was clear Leo wasn’t in a mood cause he said something like

“Why do you even care?”

He didn’t-! He just tried- to be- nice!

So he went- only to comeback not even 5 minutes later cause ok maybe he did care a little bit-

And they talk for awhile, it’s probably their first conversation that Leo is so open with Usagi. About he’s new role as a leader, which Usagi thought was great-! Being a leader is an honorable position, but Leo explains to him why it didn’t make any sense- which was like??? Usagi was used to arrogant, high confidence, mr. can’t do no wrong cause he’s great in everything Leo and suddenly hearing him being so- unsure of himself- was - odd. So odd that Usagi had to say something- and maybe he came off a little strong with his opinion statement which was

“Are you a complete idiot?”

Sue him-! He did continue by saying that- even though sure Leo wasn’t perfect, from the moments he saw, he has all the qualities

Of a good leader. And the smug he got from Leo kinda made him want to punch him in the face, but they end it on a good tone, couple of pizza boxes to go and finally Leo asked for his number, because APPARENTLY they were friends- and they should be able to contact each other if needed.

The next couple of months, they trained more and more together, Leo may or may not, choose to- run away from a problem by - literally being away from the house when he could, that’s when these two started to get a little bit closer and Usagi told h about his plans with the battle Nexus. He in fact didn’t believe Leo when he told h that he’s a battle nexus champion -

But he was also worried for him, apparently he and a raph were fighting - well 9/10

Of the time. He didn’t want this role and act like that- and when Usagi tried to talk to him about it, Leo would brush it off by leaving or changing the topic.

So imagine to his surprise when one day- apparently something something- aliens attack the human world - something something- everything is ok now- and Leo doesn’t pick up his damn phone even though he was the one to insist to have each others phone numbers so they could communicate!!!

No pressure, I mean what’s the worst that could happen? He did and Usagi will never know? Pfff yea right.

Right?

He wasn’t pleased to say the least when he found out what happened. And what state all the turtle were. He didn’t know to much, just that they were a little bit to hurt to get outside at the moment. That new guy Casey Jr invited him to come and visit, which surprised April the human girl that was with him, APPARENTLY- Our dear fearless leader Leo, didn’t tell anyone- ANYONE- about him getting close to Usagi, or training together?? Talking like- for literally hours?? No? No one? Well apparently that Casey boy knows something- even though Usagi never met him before-

It was devastating to find out Leo’s state, even though he acted - alright , and i guess he went through some character development cause the air between the got a whole lot lighter :)

Leo was also surprised to see Usagi, and then getting a while lecture about the point of a phone, which he replied that he got kinda destroyed, so any complaints send it to the manager of the Kraang, which Usagi didn’t really understand what’s a Kraang, and Leo wasn’t so quickly ready to talk about it either.

Some might say that from this point, Leo was kinda into Usagi, seeing a more caring side of him, after kinda admiring his motivation and fighting skills. Which wasn’t so great cause Usagi didn’t feel the same yet. He was wayyy to focused on his goal which ok- cool but like an imagine having your goal and a boyfriend?

Leo didn’t push to hard even though his dear brothers teased the hell out of him about it.

Once again- shenanigans happens. This time, Usagi tries again and fails to in the last battle of becoming the champion, and so he starts to take the training much more seriously. He tries to tone down with every diversion, and just to focus on this one thing-

But alas Leo. And it will become a problem, cause Usagi doesn’t want to go back home a disappointment, and the stress starts to get to him. He has this weird feelings towards Leo that he avoids, and nothing goes right for him, so he might be a little snappy and agitated. Something something- after some drama , new realizations , help from Leo and understanding that- his path won’t be the same as his grand-grandfather and it’s ok to fail and it’s ok to have goals but not to let them consume you and make you push other people away- especially the one you love,

Love? Yep apparently he like Leo

Well shit.

Leo doesn’t know Usagi will have to leave eventually, Usagi doesn’t want to let this- whatever this thing that goes between them to keep growing cause it will be doomed eventually- it won’t work - it can’t work! And yet-

They end up dating after some heartfelt confessions, Usagi tells him about the fact he has to leave this dimension eventually, and Leo tells him that until then- they can make the most of it.

Meanwhile he and the other turtles, help Usagi to train better for the battle Nexus, and he wins in the end, becoming a champion and all- but-

He didn’t admit out loud be he wasn’t happy with it- it was his only reason to stay here and now that it’s over?

And Leo helped him with it knowing that it will probably end with them breaking up and never seeing each other again- so why? Why did he helped him?

“Because it’s important to you”

He said,

“And you’re important to me”

Since when he was such a romantic?

They are about 19 years old close to 20.

And the portal to Usagi’s worlds will open soon and the next one will open only couple years later if at all-

(The portal basically opens with some magical phenomenal from Yuichi’s world)

they act like everything is ok up until couple of days before Yuichi leaves.

They like to pretend like everything was ok, even though they both knew they will have to talk about it eventually.

And it happens the night he suppose to leave- Leo admits that- if they could do it all again, he wouldn’t wasted so much time on teasing and would have asked him out a lot earlier, which Yuichi replies with

“It wouldn’t work, I wouldn’t say yes”

And Leo would answer with

“I wouldn’t stop asking then until you would say yes”

Y: “that’s harassment”

L: potato tomato

Y: I’m pretty sure the saying is “ potato potatoes”?

They laugh it off and then they will actually talk, I won’t write the conversation just yet hehe

It will be the first time they both admit they actually love each other (rather then liking)

Leo doesn’t ask him to stay, he can’t, ask him to give up his family for him.

Yuichi wants him to ask him to stay but he’s not sure he could really say yea to that-

It was doomed from the start, and they both knew that.

Fast forward ~

5 years later

Who’s back in town?

Out rabbit that right.

There are 2 portals with a gape of 2 weeks between them so he decides to come and visit -

The last couple of years

We’re

Something that’s for sure.

And he’s very very surprised seeing Leo with a freaking human baby-

But it’s very odd to talk to Leo suddenly. He really did change- and so did he.

He goes home after these 2 weeks

And thinks. About everything. About his life, about his goals, dreams, wants.

And in all of them he thinks about Leo.

The next time he visits it’s 2 years later. Yummi - the baby- is 4 years old and she’s a cheeky little girl, which isn’t surprising if Leo raised her.

This time the next portal will open only half a year away- and close for at least another 6 years-

In that time he’s doing a lot of thinking

Serious thinking about his future

Present

And past.

About everything.

One evening, the three of them are coming back home- Leo’s home- after some shenanigans. Leo has to play the soundtrack of high school musical 2 cause Yummi recently watched the movies and is very much obsessed with the songs + music in the car is a very effective way to make her sleepy. and the mission succeed! She falls asleep, leaving the other too with the tuns of “gotta go my own way” from the second movie- which they sing together very passionately cause nothing beats karaoke night !!

Just to make it clear- they are no longer together, they are “just friends”

They get home, Yuicihi putting her to bed while Leo checks up on splinter who’s also asleep and then comes back to Yummi’s room where Yuichi is still there, saying something like

“Thank you for the help, you really don’t have to do all this”

And Yuichi answers

“Of course I do. She’s important to you, and you’re important to me”

They talk a little bit more after that-

And come to the conclusion that they might - can - if the other one wants - to try - maybe - date -

Again ?

And when Leo asked him about returning to his own dimension, Yuichi replies that- he would like to stay as long as Leo is willing to have him here-

And from that point onwards- they are together again- :>

There is more stuff in the future but I digress-

Wow that was longer then I expected it to be- ops-

I hope everything is written clear enough- hehe

@beeisblue Huginn and Muninn try to spoil Three when they can in their own pathetically middle of the road—thanks for trying way. But more often than not, they’re on babysitting duty to make sure Three doesn’t blow up his own lab—which can be pretty dangerous so they’d much rather keep their distance, but they do feel bad about not doing more to help. They’ll make a little appearance along with Shelldon in Donnie’s interlude, which is coming up next, after we conclude Mikey’s rescue arc!

That is definitely not sanctioned, but yes—Draxum is just too exhausted with Three’s antics at this point. The child used to be at least respectful out of fear, but it seems like ever since a few years back when Three hit some kind of mental, pain threshold, Draxum has had a hard time controlling and understanding his thought process.

The boys do change things up by way of casual clothes around the lair, just wearing whatever’s comfortable—pretty close to the show with Mikey and Donnie probably wearing more sweaters and joggers and hoodies than say Leo or Raph. As for missions I might change my mind if I can come up with something else fun for them to wear, but as for now…most of them change pretty quickly to their movie look as soon as they each unlock their ninpo. I’ve put Leo in 2012!Leo’s white vision quest hoodie until his finally moves on to his black and blue ninpo gear just because he’ll struggle with it the most so he’s kind of the only one who takes a while to switch over to his finale look. But I might throw them in something extra if I change my mind!

@artoflittleowlbird Just a little song I made up! 😅 I really struggled with whether I wanted a real song or if I wanted to just make something from scratch. It’ll play a role later on so I hope I didn’t make it too weird sounding! I wanted it to have a non-rhyming feel like it’s something old which Splinter might’ve sung them.

Leo does meet Hueso eventually. He’s super polite when Raph, Mikey, and April first bring him to Run of the Mill, but there’s something so tired in his expression that Hueso can’t put his phalanges on. It makes the man wanna feed him, wrap him in a blanket and plop him on a comfy sofa where he can’t get hurt.

@sskurwysyn I’m sorry I’m so bad at this part. All the names I’m thinking of sound so stupid 🫣 If anyone else has one they’d like to suggest I’m all ears 🤣. And Mikey swapped out his nunchucks once or twice, but would always go back to them as soon as he could. I do like the idea of him wielding a comically huge kanabo like it’s nothing. Little man does not skip arm day.

@little-banjo-frog Leo is a little too high up in the ranking for them to be close friends, but he has gone on missions with her as part of her training. She respects him much like she does Foot Lieutenant and Brute in the show, but once she really meets Raph, Mikey, and April and hears their story and connects the dots of their missing brother being Leo, her conscience takes over and she can’t help but see how screwed up Leo is from what Shredder’s done to him. BUT THAT’S OKAY—cause you can’t get any cooler than being a double agent!! She just needs to find the perfect time to get Leo to meet his brothers, and they can both leave the foot clan behind! Plus once she’d started sneaking out of the compound at night to play vigilante with Raph, she was done for—way too much fun! Good thing she’s so good at being quiet…be a shame if she were followed…..

Aside from accidentally blowing up a Chee-Z ball factory in one of his first times out, Donnie’s gotten away with: taking apart half the tech in the lair and leaving the parts strewn all over for someone to trip on, snapping at his brothers and saying things even he knew at the time he’d regret saying, being an absolute shit to April when he first met her, testing a stimulant on himself and scaring the bejesus out of everyone when he had a tiny case of cardiac arrest…And probably the most glaringly obvious time Splinter was mad at him, but held his tongue—when Donnie needed the wiring in the projector tv and tore the whole thing apart so they were all left without any entertainment for two days while he built them a new one from scratch. Yes, they got something much nicer out of it, but he could’ve at least warned them! Raph thought Splinter’s fur was gonna be dyed perma-red from how much he looked like a tea kettle about to explode.

Raph has to get a handle on Savage Raph pretty soon after Leo and Mikey get taken, just out of necessity, but he doesn’t get rid of the fear of being alone completely. Meeting April helps even more, but once they’re all back together it does become a bigger struggle for him to not panic when they leave his eye-line. It’s not even something that registers as an issue at first cause as long as one of them is with him, he can stay pretty calm, but eventually they do all have to split up for some reason or other, and he goes full Savage Raph for the first time in YEARS. It’s only top-side though, he’s fine being alone in the Hidden City and the sewers. April is always their best bet for calming him down though. They make a joke out of it later like maybe next time she should say something like “Sun’s going down big guy!” But it’s the simple fact that a part of Raph might be scared to lose his brothers again, but April has always been his biggest source of comfort and safety—she’s his big sister.

100% yes April and Raph can totally mind meld 🤣 i love it.

I like the idea of Yuichi working at Run of The Mill in a fusion setting, but I think everyone is missing an excellent opportunity by just making him competent at his job.

Here me out: Hueso is running his restaurant in secret on the surface, which likely limits his access to supplies and ingredients from either side.

...and Yuichi's aunt canonically runs a farm.

So picture this: Yuichi is just getting to the peak of his Samurai fanboy phase when he's really wanting to strike out on his own & prove his independence.

His aunt, however, wants him to maybe start a little bit- smaller.

So she reaches out to the community and her regular buyers to see if anyone needs a hand around their businesses.

The majority turn her down, and the few that don't are quick to show bunny-boy out the door within the day with the amount of chaos he causes.

Finally, desperate, she strikes a deal with Hueso: as long as he keeps Yuichi employed, he'll get a special deal on all the produce & supplies he gets from her farm.

Hueso, in need of some new waitstaff and desperate to restock after the hits taken during the invasion, grudgingly agrees.

He comes to regret this, but not enough to actually fire him. Yet.

The limit's coming quick though, and it's going to be reached even quicker when a certain blue turtle recovers enough to start making a menace of himself around the restaurant again, this time in an extremely targeted fashion towards his new rabbit waiter.

#poor yuichi's gonna be out of a job again within the month tbh #it's fine tho #he'll finally go on his grand adventure to become a samurai #(with the assistance of the one & only Hamato Leonardo)#and Hueso's still going to cater their wedding #so all is well with the world #leoichi #leochi #leonardo hamato #yuichi usagi #senor hueso #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #samurai rabbit

Welcome Back to the Collection of Athens Writes

Hi! I'm Athens/Andy (they/them). I am a somewhat old yet somewhat new face on writeblr. I'm currently a second year student at a university in the deep south, studying history and anthropology in order to become a museum curator. Most of my free time is spent writing, which is the driving force behind this blog. Writing has become the love of my life over the past ten years.

AthensWrites has had two prior iterations. All I posted here in the previous iteration was privated, including Not Your Typical Fairytale. Don't fear, NYTF will make a glorious return ;)

With all that said, welcome back to the odd writings of Athens, and I hope you enjoy your stay. Below the cut, I've detailed some of my current projects, which range from Sci-Fi (my favorite) to thrillers to fantasy to realistic fiction. I've highlighted key content warnings and tags for each, just to keep you aware. If you'd like to hop on a tag list for any of these stories, please let me know! Some of them I post more frequently than others. I am also very tag list and tag game friendly so PLEASE tag me in stuff. If you need other people to tag in a writeblr tag game, look no further than this post!

The collection is constantly updating and evolving, so stay tuned!

Not Your Typical Fairytale (#nytf)

Although originally planned as a standalone novel, NYTF has now expanded into three separate books: Knight of Dawn, Queen of Noon, and King of Dusk. There's an additional collection of short stories/untold stories planned as well, tentatively titled Pawn of Midnight.

Content warning: gore, death, violence, graphic scientific experimentation, derealization, paranoia, drug use and abuse, alcohol use, child abuse (physical, verbal), relationship abuse (verbal, manipulation), sex (consensual) Related tags: nytf, Piers Hall, Grady Yensey, Rene Dubois, ATLZoS

Knight of Dawn

Piers Hall is the newly crowned monarch of the post-apocalyptic State of Georgia, after their mother, Queen Adele, was declared unfit to rule. Despite meaning well, they find themself unprepared for the role, especially as political rivals, like North Carolina’s President René Dubois and Councilmember Shanna Miles, close in on their tail, seemingly threatening to topple their rule. When various palace staff start to show where their real loyalties, it seems like Grady Yensey, Commander of the Royal Guard and their closest friend, is the only one they can trust. Piers and Grady must scramble to uncover the truth behind Queen Adele’s questionable associates, Piers’ missing past, and President Dubois’ shady activities

International Alliance of Superhumans (#iash)

Superhumans have existed as long as we have, normal people who suddenly develop seemingly magical powers overnight. That’s why the International Alliance of Superhumans was founded in 1945, to help control these superhumans to better humanity. Now, the Alliance's ideals and control is falling apart, as the Underground and the Union threaten its weakening rule over the superhuman community. Fireball is the golden hero of the Alliance , the face of the organization, the beloved apprentice of the Chief Administrator after the death of the one and only GoldenSon. He’s brave, courageous, kind, and always up to take a photo with the kiddos, accompanied by his partner, NightSong. He’s taken down villains from Quantum Rift (the killer of GoldenSon) to Árbol Terror, and now has his eyes set on taking down Hueso Blanco and Morpheus Nox before they can tear a hole in reality. Brigid Roberts is the face behind the mask of Fireball. They’re the only child of the now-deceased Nikki Roberts and find have found themself seeking revenge for Nikki’s death…while also trying to manage this superhero business and their senior year of high school. It doesn’t help that the administration of Wesmoreland keeps threatening to expel them for their aggressive behavior. Hueso Blanco is the epitome of an ex-Alliance villain, a well beloved hero fallen from grace, after Árbol Terror and Quantum Rift convinced him to join the Underground. Now with both of his former allies dead, he leads the Underground, and with the help of Morpheus Nox (an up and coming villain with a terrifying similarity to Quantum Rift) he plans to tear a hole in our reality, ripping out world apart. Martin Garcia-Flores is the sole caretaker of his younger brother, Elias, and would do anything to protect him. After the Alliance's violent threats, he left, in order to protect what was left. He lost friends and family and his love to the Alliance's corrupted side, and now works tirelessly to bring it to his knees…while also trying to work three separate jobs to keep himself and Elias afloat. When fate brings Brigid and Martin face to face, maskless and vulnerable, the two come to understand they may not be as different as they’d both previously thought. Content Warning: violence, gore, death, family abuse (physical, verbal), alcohol (use) Related Tags: IASH, superhumans, Brigid Roberts, Martin GF, Hueso Blanco, Fireball

Space Clue/The Murder of Fredrik Lexand (#tmfl)

In 2183, humans abandoned earth as her ecosystems collapsed and became uninhabitable. Now, the remnants of humanity live in the Lexand Starfleet, a group of 16 name-brand ships, sailing towards deep space. In control of it all is Fredrik Lexand, the 17th great grandson of the original founder of Lexand StarFleet. From his living pod at the head of StarSeeker Alpha, he controls everything and anything that happens to humanity, from their food to their spouses to where the remnants of humanity will travel to. The weight of the world on one man’s shoulders (who are we kidding, of course he has lackeys who do all the menial work), worshipped as a god. Until the morning he is found brutally dismembered, mangled parts of his body strewn all over his office. Humanity freezes, watching intently, as the Lexand Pod is locked down by Detective Scoud Tambry, swearing to uncover the killer, and avenge the Corporate god-king.

I was wondering if you could write something? It can be a headcannon or oneshot, it’s up to you. Could you do a Rise!Leo x reader, and Leo introduces reader to Senor Hueso, since Hueso is kinda like a father figure to him? I don’t know I just thought it would be a cute idea!!

Thank You!🫶

gragaraaggagagagagarahhhah the ending is terrible but i worked on it so might as well ppst it idk im just drop it here

hope you enjoy ❤️

The Father I Never Had

rise!leo x reader (romantic)

“Thank you so much for coming, babe.”

It was a special day for Leo today. He had been very excited about this day, but also quite nervous. You and Leo had been dating for about a year now, and it was a good relationship. He loved you more than anything, you were his entire world. He told everyone about you. Especially his favorite restaurant manager and bone man, Señor Hueso.

Hueso was the father that Splinter never was. Sure, Leo loved Splinter and he was pretty sure Splinter loved him, but Hueso was there for him a lot more. He could tell him anything. And he did.

Hueso was very excited to learn that Leo was dating you. Hueso had been bugging him for a while now about if he was going to get a partner or not, so when Leo did, Hueso begged to meet you one day. But unknown to you, today was that day.

“Of course, Leo. What’s up? You told me to dress somewhat nice, so there’s gotta be something.”

“Listen, don’t stress about this but…I wanted you to meet my dad. My other…other one. We’ve been together for a little bit, and I figured you should get to know him a little, seeing as he’s so important to me.”

“Other than Splinter and Draxum?”

“Yeah…he runs the pizza place me and my brothers always go to. And the one where we went on our first date.”

“Woah, you know him? Oh…I hope he’ll like me.”

“Oh, come on, you’re perfect y/n! Everyone loves you. Especially me.”

“You sweet talker, you.”

It was a bit scary for the both of you. There was always the fear of disapproval, but you just put it in the back of your mind for now. Leo held out his hand to you, smiling, while his other hand was already creating the portal to Hueso’s. You took his hand, letting him lead you through. You popped out on the other side right in front of Hueso’s.

“Wait, isn’t he, like, working?”

“Oh, he’s been dying to meet you. I’m sure he can spare some time.”

“He wants to meet me?! Now the pressure’s really on…”

“Hey, don’t sweat it! He’ll love you, I’m sure of it.”

By now you were almost to the back of the restaurant. Leo was calling out to Hueso and looking around, before a seemingly annoyed Hueso appeared out a door somewhere. You had only seen him once before, so to see him up close was really a bit of a shock.

“Hueso! My favorite restaurant manager! How’ve you been?”

“Very peaceful without you here, amigo.”

“Aw, come on, you know you miss me. I liven up the place, make it a little more fun.”

“I may miss you, but I do not miss the chaos you cause. Now, who is this you’ve brought with you?”

“Oh, right. So, I know you’ve been bugging me to meet my partner ever since I met them…well, this is y/n.” Hueso was taken slightly aback. He was not prepared for this moment at all, and started fumbling around. He excused himself for a minute, and began hurriedly running around the back of the restaurant, trying to take care of a few things. You look concerned, but Leo just smiled and laughed. After quickly making preparations and ensuring that everything would be okay while he was gone, he rejoined you and Leo and asked you to follow him. Hueso led you through a door in the back, into a more quiet part of the restaurant. He sat at a table, inviting you two to sit with him.

“y/n, this is Señor Hueso. Hueso, this is y/n. You guys haven’t met before, right?”

“I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Well then, allow me to do the honors. y/n here is my lovely and amazing partner, who I would do anything in the world for. We’ve been dating for about a year now. I couldn’t be more grateful for them. They take wonderful care of me, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.” He praised you to no end, which only made you more and more shy and bashful. Hueso seemed pleased, he could tell that Leo truly loved and cared for you. “And we can’t forget Tio Hueso. Hueso…he’s always been there for me. After the Kraang invasion, he checked up on me all the time. He’d send me and my brothers dinner if we couldn’t make it for ourselves.”

“Aw, that’s so sweet of you, Hueso.” Hueso smiled.

“On late nights, I’d often go out on my own, and a lot of the time I’d end up here in this restaurant, just talking to him. He’s always listened to me…he’s always accepted me, no matter how I changed.”

“It sounds like you really love him.”

“I do. I couldn’t be more thankful for everything he’s done for me.”

Leo sat in silence for a minute. Leo was smiling at Hueso, almost as if he was recalling everything he had done for him.

“Well, it sounds like Leo loves you quite a bit.”

“I could say the same to you.”

“Oh, sorry you two, I was just…thinking.”

“About what?”

“That’s not important. Come on guys, it’s too quiet in here! Start talking, it’s not like there’s nothing to talk about.”

You awkwardly started the conversation again. But soon enough, the three of you were talking the night away, taking turns talking about life stories, some more embarrassing than others. Surprisingly, Leo was the quietest. But he just wanted to sit there and take in how cool it was that two of his favorite people in the world were right in front of him, having a good time.

Ok ok hear me out cause I'm not expecting this to be canon but wanted to send this anyway for funsies!

So every time the Swanatello turtles fight someone (Which isn't as frequent anymore? Cause they're doing research all the time now?) the villains ask "where's the purple one?" And they just have to respond "he's busy" right?

What if after this goes on for so long (how long has it been?), with Donnie ALWAYS being "busy" the bad guys start to think that he's actually either

A. Missing/Kidnapped (technically not wrong)

B. They had a HUGE fight and he abandoned them

C. He's SUPER injured

Or D. He's literally dead and the kids just won't admit it to them

So with all of these options being very not great :/ some of the bad guys start to sympathize with the bros.

Maybe they're like "Dang these kids are having a really rough time, I won't hit em as hard" or "They seem really sad today, I guess I'll let them win this one" Or would some of them even start helping them a bit? Idk I just love hearing about the villains

And does not having Donnie there effect their fighting? Maybe they mess up a lot more since they're so used to him being there?

Also what's Hueso up to? Is he worried about them?

Sorry for the super long ask I'm just absolutely obsessed with Swanatello right now <3

Hehe, I love this concept. I think all the villains definitely have quiet conspiracy theories in their heads as to why they've been seeing those turtles so much less-- and haven't seen hide nor hair of the purple one for months. I think Hypno and Warren are most likely to end up sympathizing with them based on the conclusions they've come to themselves lowkey...

They're still capable of fighting without Donnie, though it's certainly more of a challenge, but nowadays they typically leave a majority of crime fighting up to Casey and Casey Jr. while they focus on Donnie.

Hueso definitely ends up worried at some point. He's not necessarily unused to the Purple One going MIA for periods of time, given his tendency to go through periods of anti-socialness while obsessing over projects, but when he realizes he's seeing the others a lot less, too, and it's been a while, he starts to get suspicious. These stupid boys have already given him a heart attack once when they all nearly killed themselves with that whole alien thing, and so he's quick to grow nervous over their wellbeing, not that he'll ever admit to it.

When Leo shows up with a broken wrist, however, he'd definitely demand some answers. Leo's not really in any kind of condition to put up much of a fight and would tearfully recount the whole story to Hueso after minimal prodding.

And Hueso feels awful, but there's not much he can offer but some awkward, gentle encouragement, a listening ear, and free food. He doesn't know anything about lake magick or curses any of that other stuff, but he quietly digs through any resources he and Piel can scrounge up in his free time, hoping that he can find something, anything useful that he can offer the family.

He always asks how Donnie is doing any time any of them come in, and has on multiple occasions sent food with one of the brothers to deliver to him.
