🔵 Leo
you were just chilling at home browsing Pinterest and somehow ended up looking at cute couple aesthetics things
that’s when you came across super cute bracelets
they had those cube shaped beads with letters on them, embroidered into colourful bands
this gave you the idea of making a bracelet for Leo with your name on it
you gathered the materials immediately and started working on it
for the palette you decided to go with varying shades of blue
you also alternated fun shaped beads, little turtles and stars, so the band wouldn't be too plain
on each side of your name you also added a little red crescent moon, for his stripes. this you found particularly clever and mentally gave yourself a pat on the back
Leo would boast so much about it, you’d never hear the end of it
but it’d be worth the torture if it makes him happy
and you’d be happy if he decided to wear it (which he definitely will)
as for how big it had to be you kinda just took a guess, leaving the ends long enough to tie a knot and cut off the rest
after it was done you looked at your finished work with satisfaction, and texted the turtles you were coming over
once you and Leo were alone you did the “choose one: right or left hand?” while hiding both behind your back
no matter what Leo chose, you’d show him an empty hand first just to annoy him
upon seeing your empty palm he looked at you with a quirked up brow and a curious smile
when he chose your other hand you quickly switched the bracelet behind your back, showing him an empty hand again
he scoffed in mock offense and went to tackle you to snatch whatever it was you’re holding
you squeaked and took a couple steps back
“ok ok! I’ll show you. hold out your hand and close your eyes!”
Leo melted inside with those big bright e/c eyes you were looking at him with, your weight slightly shifting from one foot to another due to how excited you were to see his reaction
he kept his cool tho and obliged and stretched out one arm, covering his eyes with the other hand
“if you prank me or something you’re going down y/n” he laughed
“where’s the trust” you sighed dramatically
you see him shift his fingers to take a peek
smacking his arm slightly, he covered up again
“alright alright, i’m just really curious!”
“just a little more patience, Leo. isn’t that like a whole ninja virtue thing? have you been slacking on your training?” you joked while tying the bracelet on his wrist, leaving the knot loose enough to redo it if he wanted
“my ninjosity is perfectly fine, thank you very much” he retorted, clearly growing impatient at not being able to see
“ta-da!” you finally sang and he uncovered his eyes
a huge smirk made its way onto Leo’s face as he admired the handiwork
he was about to make some corny comment but you were quicker
“it’s to show everyone you’re mine” you said pecking the tip of his beak
to hide his sudden blush, Leo trapped you in a bear hug
which you happily returned
when he let go, you helped him tighten the knot so the bracelet wouldn’t be too tight
you cut off the ends and sealed everything with a lighter, being careful not to burn your boyfriend or your own fingers
“i love it, thank you” he said, kissing you hard and ending with a loud “mwah!”
you were 100% partner material and his ego was through the roof right now
as expected, Leo went around the lair gesturing exaggeratedly to bring attention to his hand
it didn’t even matter if anyone commented on the bracelet or not, he’d go “oh this? yeah my s/o made it because I’m that awesome”
would smile to himself every time he looks at it
instant dopamine shot for Leo
he’ll definitely ask Mikey to help him make one for you so you guys can match
🔴 Raph
you were hanging in Raph’s room when you noticed how all of his brothers had some sort of custom thing to them
Mikey had stickers on his plastron
Leo had stripes and markings on his shell
Donnie also had markings plus his tech incorporated into his outfit
Raph didn’t really wear anything besides his mask
all he had was… spikes
how unfair
so you took it upon yourself to make something for him that would give him a bit of swag
you remembered seeing some cute bracelets with names on the internet the other day
perfect idea!
you just needed the materials
you decided to go to Mikey; as the artsy turtle of the four he may have something to work with
to no one’s surprise he pulled out a box from under his bed with string, cords and beads in all imaginable sizes, shapes and colours
everything was delicately sorted into smaller boxes
you thanked him excitedly and when he asked what you were doing, you told him it was a gift for his brother
but it was a secret! so shh
Mikey understood the assignment, saluted you like a soldier and went to distract Raph so he wouldn’t come into his room
you worked fast but diligently
as you were picking out the beads to spell your name, it occured to you that with Raph’s weapon of choice a bracelet might get into the way
since the handles of his sais were quite short you didn’t want them to get stuck in the bracelet
so you decided to switch to a necklace
it would be almost choker-like, as not to slip over his head when doing ninja shenanigans, but also loose enough to allow movement without choking him
aside from your name in the middle, you also decided to add little turtle and heart shaped beads as well
for the strings you went with a bright and a darker shade of red that you braided together several times to make it nice and sturdy
after all your turtle is big and spiky. but so full of love
ugh you got all mushy inside thinking about him wearing the necklace
with a blush adorning your features you finished the last knot, leaving long enough strings to tie them at the end
you started tidying up and set Mikey’s stuff neatly back into the box
poking your head out of his room you looked for Raph
from the projector room you could hear the laughs of Raph, Mikey and Leo
they were probably gaming
Raph was sat on the couch and had his back towards you
so you silently approached him from behind, poking his shell
he jumped slightly since he hadn’t seen or heard you, and was about to stand up to face you but you told him to sit
he obeyed with a questioning look, his brothers also curious as to what you were up to
“stay still” you said as you stretched your hands over his shoulders, placing the necklace in place and tying a loose knot at the back
Mikey went “aww” as he clasped his hands together to the side of his head
Leo muttered a “kinda looks like a collar lol” before adding a “looking good big bro!” with a thumbs up
Raph felt around his neck but he couldn’t see, so he rushed to the bathroom to the mirror, with you happily skipping behind him
when he finally got to see your gift he blushed a deep red, which made you blush as well
“do you like it?” you asked shily, since he wasn’t anything
“like it? i love it!” he exclaimed after regaining his composture
Raph picked you up in a hug and swung you around several times, setting you down with a giggle
as you’re fastening the necklace and sealing the ends with a lighter, he’s already making plans on what to get you
also a necklace with his name? a bracelet? …a ring? that last one made his heart skip a beat
when you were done he lifted you up like you weighed nothing (you really didn’t to him) and set you on his lap to give you a well deserved ‘thank you’ kiss
🟠 Mikey
Mikey and you had wanted to get matching somethings for a while now
you couldn’t decide if you wanted it to be a necklace, with pieces that fit each other like halfs of hearts
or something else that matched in some way
you once saw a 6-way necklace where every piece was a slice of pizza, which if put together, formed the whole pizza
that would have been perfect for you, April and the 4 brothers
but you also wanted something that was just for the two of you
so you were scrolling Pinterest and Tumblr to find ideas
and you found the instructions to making bracelets with those lettered beads
in your brain an idea started forming and you immediately went to work, gathering all the materials
Mikey really wanted in on what you were doing, especially because usually you’d do crafts and artsy thing together
so you kinda had to do this secretly when you were at home instead of with him
which was a bit sad but you just filled your head with thoughts of your favourite orange turtle and blasted some high energy music to work through missing him
you decided to go with a longer strand, so it would wrap twice around the wrist
your name was followed by a heart and then Mikey’s name, since it was long enough to fit both names
you also added flower and turtle shaped beads
you even found a little pizza charm that glowed in the dark
so obviously you had to add that as well
for the colours you chose neon yellow, orange and green
the ends were neatly tucked into some clasps
admiring your finished masterpiece in your hands you smiled to yourself
a yawn made you look at the time only to realise it was like 2 am
whoops
you barely got any sleep tho because you couldn't wait to give it to him
the next day you headed to the lair as soon as your schedule allowed you to
you entered the place like you’d always do, greeting everyone with a cheerful “hello!” and quick hugs
when you got to Mikey he hugged you tightly and swirled you around a couple times calling your name
you looked at him with a mischievous glint in your eyes and a smile that gave you away
“what is it?” he said, thinking you’d spill the tea about something good that happened in class or something like that
instead you rummaged in your bag and fished out your gift, carefully placed in a little bag with a paper bow
“for you” you told him, pecking his cheek
he looked like a little kid who just got a new toy, stars shone in his eyes and were filled with love
he giggled in glee and went to take out whatever was in the little bag, only to find another bag!
he looked kinda puzzled, but you only bit your lip, holding in your laughter at the face he was making
you could tell that for a split second he thought you were actually gifting him just a bag inside another bag
and he would have been totally fine with that because you could give him a wrinkly candy wrapper and he’d still cherish it, simply because it came from you
with a nod from your head you encouraged him to check the second bag as well
“oh mi gosh!” he exclaimed as he took out the bracelet and you swear he exploded into colourful confetti and hearts and rainbows
you took it from his hands and wrapped it around his wrist, clipping it together
he took your hands in his as he admired your handiwork, closely inspecting all the little details
once again you were tackled into a hug and swayed from side to side
“do you like it?” you managed to ask in-between the several kisses he peppered your face with
“i love it!!” he exclaimed and kissed you once more
“can we make more together? you need one as well!” he asked giving you his puppy eyes
you faked thinking it over really hard, bringing you hand to stroke your chin, and his pout only got bigger
of course you said yes so he took your hand and dragged you to his room, chirping happily
🟣 Donnie
it was a normal saturday afternoon
you were chilling at Donnie’s lab
he was rambling about his newest invention to you
you were listening, really, but you were also kind of just checking him out, propping up your head on your elbow
when he talked like that, all excited, it was like he was shining and brightening up the whole room
you loved seeing him like that, absorbing his energy
and as you were taking in and memorising all the details of how he looked, talked and moved, you got an idea
Donnie wasn’t really a jewelry person
but you felt the urge to give him something to wear that was yours
just to mark him as yours
the thought brought a blush to your face which he registered but he continued talking, enjoying the attention
that evening you racked your brain trying to think what you could give him
you knew he had sensitive skin so you’d have to get something with a smooth surface/texture
browsing ideas online, you decided on making him a bracelet for his right wrist (the one without the screen)
you looked up a lot of different designs gathering several ideas and combining them:
the part in contact with the skin would be a flat pleather material
it had a discreet metallic buckle, which would be useful to put on and take off
on top of it sat the bracelet itself, carefully braided and sewn into the band
you chose several hues of purple and lilac for the strings and a dark brown for the pleather
on the top part of the bracelet was your name spelled in circular beads with letters
you also included some little turtle and gaming controller shaped beads you found at the end of your crafts drawer
you decided against a charm in case it got caught on something or if the clinking would annoy him
it was pretty late when you finished your masterpiece
under the light of your small desk lamp you admired your handiwork until you were satisfied, giving yourself a small nod of approval
the next day at the lair you went about your day as normal, but Donnie could tell something was up
you had wanted to wait til later to give it to him when you were alone
but he dragged you off to the lab, leaving his brothers who were engrossed in the jupiter jim movie from the classic sunday movie marathon
you actually also wanted to finish the movie
but since he was so adamant to know what you were hiding, you decided to amuse him and give him the present early
“so what’s up?” he asked, “i know that look of yours. you’re scheming something, aren’t you?”
“ah, i’ve been caught” you said in a sheepish tone and went to get the gift from your bag which was on a chair at his lab table
you had wrapped it up all nice with purple holographic wrapping paper
turning around with a swirl and a dramatic bow, you presented the package to him extending your hands
“for you, from me” you simply said and looked up at him expectantly
this wasn’t the direction he thought this would go, but he was definitely not complaining
he was just scared he forgot an anniversary or an important date
he had a meticulously filled planner tho so that was practically impossible
“what’s the occasion?” he asked as he carefully unwrapped the bracelet
you shrugged “just felt like it”
when he layed eyes on your handiwork he let out a small gasp of surprise
“i know you don’t usually wear this kinda stuff so i understand if-“
“what are you talking about?” he interrupted and didn’t lose a second to put it on his wrist. the right one, as you expected
“maybe it’s time i did start wearing these so you can make me more” he said with a cocky smirk.
“so you like it?”
he took your hands in his and bent down slightly to give your forehead a kiss
“i love it. thanks, sweetheart”
you went back to the projector room hand in hand and sat down at your previous spots, the other turtles seemingly unaware that you were gone in the first place
you went right back to the movie but the soft smile on Donnie’s face surrounded by a faint blush didn’t escape you
