Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rise leo#plot twist he COULD be admitting angsty stuff but he’s pushing the less oof truths forward instead on purpose#raph: hey leo what do you want for dinner#leo: *about to bare his soul on all his internal torment but pivots* I’m afraid of snakes#(no but fr Leo’s stripes being technically more pink instead of red is cute ngl)#(a very reddish pink to the point that in certain lighting it looks red but at the base they’re p pink)#(i also am very fond of the idea that Leo doesn’t just have questionable taste in fashion he also just loves Raph a lot and looks up to him)#but yeah I think that something like this would be 99% Leo admitting to unimportant things or admitting to how much he values everyone#like they all KNOW Leo loves them and he’s talked them up enough for them to know but it’s different when he’s like#‘I just wanna read my comics with you guys around - it’s my favorite place to be’#or again just random bs that doesn’t REALLY have a lot of weight like#‘I like using my portals to prank random people around the world’#‘I’m worried about being a bad influence on hueso jr’#‘sometimes I kinda wanna see hypno’s plans succeed’#‘it’s been way too long since I found this out and honestly it’s embarrassing but I actually don’t have a di-‘#SORRY COULDNT HELP MYSELF#(<-but did u know that that pink rather than red observation actually ties into this headcanon as well if u know about red eared sliders)

request: You write the turtles boys so well! I literally can't stop smiling when I read your fics - they're so sweet and endearing. I was wondering, only if it strikes your interest of course, if you'd consider writing about the boys being jealous of each other when the reader spends time with them one on one? Like, maybe a slot for Leo where he thinks reader finds Donnie funnier? Or one for mikey, where he thinks that reader likes how big raph is? Or for raph, where he thinks reader is more enamored with Leo? Or Donnie, where he worries that Mikey is flirting with reader? Of course they're all misunderstandings, and maybe it could end all fluffy with confessions and comforting their respective boy? If not, don't worry, but if so, thank you! 1 look forward to whatever you put out next.

┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Leo 💌
Leo never expected he could ever become… jealous, not him—no, no, NEVER him. He had too much pride, too much confidence. There should have never been any room for doubt in his ability to keep you focused and adoring on him, and him alone.
But, perhaps he had given himself too much credit? Or, maybe he had given his twin too little credit.
It wasn’t as though you were his. Just friends, and technically that meant you belonged to the whole family, not just him. But, no one could blame him for coveting you. From how starry-eyed you looked at him to how genuinely you laughed at his jokes, Leo found out too late that he had been falling for you, and here he was still falling. The way your nose crinkled when you laughed, or how your face lit up during Mikey’s dinner times, even down to the wheezing laugh you would give into if he pushed his jokes on too long, all of it spelled out lovely disaster for his heart.
But, fear not, he thought. He was the face man and the funniest turtle, surely there was no competition? No one could be better than him at getting you to make the faces you did.
Or well, it should’ve been no one. He wasn’t even all that funny, but Donnie managed to get you to keel over to some stuff he said—and he didn’t even intend for them to be jokes! A natural comic, can you believe the nerve of this guy?
So, yeah, Leo never expected himself to be jealous, and especially never towards his own brother, but god the way you were showing that tickled-silly expression to Donnie, wiping tears as he confusedly asked what was so funny? It had him gripping the arm of their couch, digging his nails into them. He wasn’t going to take this any longer! Sure Donnie meant no harm and would never try to swoop in and steal the prize he had his eye on, but Leo couldn’t help but still be… aggravated.
The pent-up annoyance was dispelled by the red-slider leaping over the couch, sassily walking over and snaking his arm across your waist.
“ Yeah, whatever, Donnie is sooo funny, but hey, Y/N, let me show you something better! ”
Never mind the fact that he had nothing planned as he twirled his katana in his other hand, slicing the air until a blue portal shimmered into existence. You glanced back and waved good bye to Donnie, fully intrigued by whatever it was Leo wanted to show you.
“ Oh—okay! What is it? ”
“ Who am I to ruin a surprise? ”
He cocked a brow at your question, tugging you through the portal and stepping out into the courtyard of the Witch’s city. While amazed, you wondered just what this had to do with anything—but, of course that was a comment you would keep to yourself until having fully exhausted the excitement of exploring not just any random town, but rather a town of witches!
“ Oh, Leo, finally! I’ve been begging you to bring me here for weeks! ”
Before he could even say anything, you were quickly rushing up to the nearest shop and sparking up conversation. Such a busy bee, but it was just another aspect of you he was captivated by. However, with such an impromptu visit to a rather overwhelming area, he found chances to spark conversation and get you to laugh to be stretched few and far between.
“ Oh wow, this store really doesn’t leave mushroom for walk-through, huh? ”
He gestured to a potions-ingredients shop, which, you guessed it, specialized in all things fungal-based. His shoulders drooped as you continued ahead, not even hearing him. That joke was gold! Huffing, Leo caught up with you and laced his fingers around your wrist, effortlessly stopping you in your tracks.
“ Mm? Leo? ”
You stared up at him with such a look of focus, all your attention finally fully on him, and he had to fight his legs not to reduce to jelly instantly. Instead, he took a deep breath, cocked his head, and insisted you follow him.
Down weaving alleys, through crowds of people, eventually you reached a park unlike any seen on the surface. The paths were lined with thick, luscious plants cultivated through the town’s magic. Foliage swayed with no wind, as though dancing like silk fabric to whatever music only they heard.
Your attention only left the plants when you heard Leo start clearing his throat and then flashing you a look that you recognized all too well. A grin was already tugging at your lips, and Leo finally felt like he was the only one in your world again. His hands held onto his belt and he kicked out his legs, faking as though he were tipping a hat. It seemed like some western cowboy impersonation?
“ What in carnation? ”
There you went, first with a light and short laugh.
“ Well I do say, I took a leaf of faith bringing you here,”
Which then melded into a series, topped with a “ Wait, Leo, hush—please! ”, all stuttered and peppered through your increasing laughter.
“—but, beleaf it or not—“
He wasn’t even able to finish the entire spiel before you were holding onto him, laughing with such a melodious voice. Which, of course, devolved into your trademark wheeze n’snort after dragging on too long.
“ Pwffhaaha!! Leo, wha-what’s with you today? ”
You wiped away a tear, and suddenly Leo was finally brought back to reality. Your hand on his forearm lingered, and he was just completely beside himself with how the glowing willows beside the garden softened your face ever-so-perfectly.
“ Y/N… ”
His voice was so uncharacteristically soft that it had you a tad bit spooked, hand gripping a teensy tighter. Your head cocked slightly in confusion.
“ I.. Ugh, okay, it’s—it’s dumb! But—“
He dragged his hands down his face, groaning exhaustedly.
“ I thought, maybe, you might’ve… Liked Donnie, more than me. ”
“ Huh? Why would you think that, I love all of you guys? ”
“ Yeah, but I love you, and—“
The shock painted on your face had him holding his breath. Alarms went off in his head, telling him he maybe should have held his tongue, not jumped ahead so quickly. The two of you searched each other’s eyes in silence, you recovering from what he said, and him preparing himself for what you would say. Soon enough, your face twisted into a confusion tinged with a bit of playfulness.
“ Wait a second.. You’re jealous, aren’t you? Of Donnie? What for? ”
“ What? What do you mean what for? You, you’ve been laughing at everything he said all day, don’t you think he’s funnier? Don’t you like him more?! ”
If it weren’t his dumb puns and act earlier, it was this that would do you in.
“ Leo, you dummy! Sure I was laughing, but that doesn’t mean I like him more than you, I just, well… ”
It was your turn to be a bit bashful as your eyes looked everywhere except him.
“ I, well.. You’re my favorite, Leo, not Donnie.. ”
As you batted your eyes at him, hoping he would connect the dots thoroughly, your answer was given in the form of his beaming expression as he swept you into his arms, spinning.
“ Ah-hah! So you do like me—and I’m the funnier turtle!? ”
“ Oh no, I shouldn’t have said anything, now you’re too powerful! ”
Playfully you cried, leaning back with your hand dramatically draped across your forehead. Leo chuckled at your antics leaning in to lay his head against your stomach as he tightened his hold firmly.
This was definitely something he would rub in his brother’s face later on—and said brother would be profusely confused by what brought it on???
┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Mikey 💌
Mikey was the last turtle you ever considered could suffer from the classic ailment of “ jealousy ”, and you couldn’t help but feel both ashamed yet intrigued.
While you weren’t too sure what it was that had got him so riled up, you were observant enough to see the way his eyes lit up with a startling emotion. At first it was impossible to pinpoint, just a glimpse of something indiscernible yet startling that crept into his blue hues at the oddest of times.
The first time you had seen that frightful emotion peek its head was during a date. The two of you had decided to hit a bar late at night, him donning a cloaking brooch, of course.
When you arrived, the loud music was entrancing, luring you both onto the dance floor to get lost in each other’s arms. The music coiled around you both, closing the gap to a suffocatingly tight end, as if either of you couldn’t stand any sort of distance apart. The floor vibrated, from both the booming speakers and the music reverberating the whole building alongside the dancing bodies around you both.
Mikey beamed with the brightest smile, and you just knew he was laughing, albeit drowned out from the ambiance. You were both having the time of your lives. Absorbed into a bubble fit for only the two of you, eyes locked on each other, neither party was ready for the stranger’s hands that snaked around your waist, pulling you in without any mind paid to you already having a devoted dance partner.
Chills set in and you turned to Mikey instantly, locking eyes, but the look in his eyes was enough to have your voice hitch in your throat.
That night ended with you both getting kicked out after Mikey wailed on the guy, but after a while, you both laughed and talked all about the fight on the way home.
The next time you saw that look was when you were hanging out with Leo while waiting for Mikey to return back from patrol. He had invited you over, and you planned to do it after wrapping up a few things, so he figured he could finish a patrol and be ready for you when you got done.
Unfortunately for him, you happened to finish your escapade much too early, and thus were at the lair awaiting his return. Leo happened to pass by, so you roped him into a conversation to bide the time. When Mikey did eventually come home, he stepped in to see you nearly keeled over in laughter.
You had been laughing so hard that when you noticed Mikey, you gave a weak wave and continued dying. He was curious what the joke was, but Leo simply shook his head and left, his own laugh dwindling down the hall. Once you recovered and were on your feet, you caught that same scary emotion swirling in his eyes. He tightened his lips and only softened when he turned to you.
More and more questions arose as you came to experience this look time and time again in all kinds of situations, but the one that finally made all the clicks pop into place was his outburst after you were with Raph.
He had been taking care of some villains on patrol with Mikey when you had ended up in the wrong place, wrong time. Their battle had turned to a violent one, with the villain bashed straight into a wall. Debris crumbled down right as you turned the corner, eyes shooting up to see parts of the building falling towards you. There was no time to move, so you just closed your eyes shut right and braced yourself.
But, no pain ever came, just a bit of dust. You opened your eyes, seeing a huge shadow casted over your body, and when you looked up?
It was Raph, who blocked the falling debris with his mighty shell.
“ Raph! “
You yelped, heart thundering in your chest, and Mikey misunderstood the shimmer in your eyes as Raph rose to full height, throwing the concrete off and away. He misinterpreted why you hugged him so tightly when he scooped you up, taking you away from the damage and ushering you to run the other way.
When you’re focusing on the wrong things, it’s easy to get the signs wrong, and boy had the ache in Mikey’s heart got everything so totally wrong. You liked Raph, didn’t you? Why else would you look at him like that? Did you like it when folks were bigger than you, unlike him who simply had an inch or two on you?
How could he be so stupid?
So, that’s how you ended up where you were now, seconds from entering your apartment when Mikey met you with a sour look on his face. You noticed that same glint in his eyes, still trying to piece together what it meant.
“ Why didn’t you tell me? ”
His voice wavered, and you responded with a hum of confusion. Inviting him in, he closed the door behind you both. His lips tugged down as he searched everywhere for the words to say. Finally, he found them and settled back on you as you were putting things down and unwinding.
“ With Raph! You like him, don’t you?! ”
“ Wha? ”
“ You—You! ”
He seemed frustrated, wracking his brain until finally he threw his hands out and shouted.
“ DO YOU LOVE RAPH MORE BECAUSE HE’S SO BIG?! ”
Silence blanketed you both as you processed his words. Finally, you placed a word on the emotion you always saw in his eyes. Struggling not to laugh at the absurdity, you snorted and shook your head.
“ Jealousy! That’s wh—wait, no, Mikey, no, I don’t ‘Love Raph cause he’s big’ ”
“ Then why do you like him more!? ”
“ Where is this coming from, Mikey, I don’t like Raph like that—I like you. ”
You stepped closer, and Mikey let you in. Your hands reached up, cupping his cheeks, and he leaned into them with such a desperation that you felt bad for finding this whole situation so silly.
“ Just, you always seem so happy when he’s around, and whenever he saves you instead, you always.. ”
His eyes were elsewhere as he spoke, almost as though he were seeing the absurdity in it all now with a clearer mind.
“ Ahh, mhmm, yup, alright so Mikey usually people are very happy when they’re saved from danger—and I mean, I probably look happy cause I’m friends with him too, but I’m dating you, silly. ”
You booped his snoot, smiling as his eyes lit up with the love you were accustomed to seeing them full of.
┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Raph 💌
If there was any one of the brothers full of insecurities, it would come as no surprise as the spotlight shone upon the red turtle, atop the winner’s pedestal. As someone who once led his brothers in the face of battle, who grew up with the elder sibling curse of forced parenthood, it came as no shock that there were a couple of problems sprinkled into his character.
While he had spent much of his life up to this point recovering and healing from what dared chip at his exterior, there was more than a few bits of stubborn grime that lingered on his surface. It ate away at him, leaving behind vulnerabilities.
Then you came along, and throughout the honeymoon period he experienced nothing but delights. Never had the negative Nancy in his brain perked up to talk her shit, misleading him in circles until he was a mess of unbundled, tangled up rope.
You were a light, something that seemed to power wash the grime away, cake over it with your delicate touch and sweet words. Much smaller than he, you were probably one of the kindest humans he met, someone he cherished more than life itself.
And that, in and of itself, was a vulnerability. You were his weakness, and the shrewd dark spots in his brain couldn’t wait for the rose-colored glass to shatter and let them sink their teeth into this beauteous opportunity.
The sensible part of him knew your kindness knew no ends, that it wasn’t limited or excluded to simply him or a select few. In fact, your sweet demeanor shared with his brothers? It was a breath of relief—it was an understatement to say he had been nervous to introduce you to the family. You were okay with him because he saved you, but his brothers and father weren’t present. They hadn’t been the heroes slamming down against concrete, scaring away the silverfish that preyed upon you one fateful night.
Turns out the trash-eaters had a hankering for good food, and you, all alone, on your way back home with a doggy-bag from Cleo’s Beach Shack, served to be the perfect target.
The night had been quiet, albeit suspiciously so, but your full tummy and weary limbs had their guard fully down. You daydreamed of the bed awaiting you at home, arms beckoning you forth with pillowy softness.
That delightful image was disturbed by the sudden rustling and clank you heard from behind. Turning, your eyes shooed away dreamland and were alert. An empty can rolled from a bush, tinking into someone’s trash can at the curb. Not a soul in sight, so surely it must have been one of New York’s infamous rats? Y’know, that creature that is practically extinct in this city, like there’s no way you would ever see them—definitely not at the metro nor the coffee shop, and surely never this residential street with primo rat hot-spots such as unsupervised trash cans full of food waste.
Yeah, of course, must have been a rat. You’re so paranoid, just hurry on home, nothing bad will happen. Nothing bad ever happens to pretty little guys like you, alone on dimly lit streets, lined with houses whose doors are locked to high hell.
Nothing bad, especially not like the cold metal that clamped firmly on your ankle. Never anything as worse as the chilling growl from whatever tripped you up, glaring with red eyes and flicking a long, sharp-looking tail.
“ Oh sh—“
Your voice feebly complained, raising into a scream to the heavens above as it lunged towards you.
Or well, towards your to-go bag, but who’s paying attention to the little things like that when your life is flashing before your eyes?
Thankfully, the end never came. There was the sound of a growling struggle after a tremor shook your shivering frame, and as you opened your eyes to peek at whatever held up your attacker, a silhouette towered over you. He casted a long shadow over you, which should have been intimidating as hell, but instead it left you feeling…
Safer?
In his hand laid two identical buggers, squirming and chomping with animalistic hunger. This had to have been worse than the rats, you’d take the rats any day, at least they weren’t massive.
… well okay, they are, but this is a whole ‘nother level.
The most shocking part was this giant hero taking a step back, assuming the position of a pitcher, and launching the creatures into the distance. There may have been a glint shining, and was that the cheer of an audience you were hearing? No, that was your imagination, obviously.
But you were not imagining this guy in front of you. Much too tall to be human, unless it was some basketball lead who somehow had balls of steel to save a stranger.
Every warning sign imaginable was washed away without a trace as your savior turned around and shot a shaky smile, warm as a summer sun.
“ S-Sorry about that, are ya okay? ”
He spoke with the timidness of someone a fourth his size, and you couldn’t help but be completely charmed to death.
From that day you would see him more and more, to the point that it felt as if maybe he had been appointed your personal body guard. Ah, but, you didn’t really mind, did you? You loved his company and his toothy grins. You adored his warm, gentle hugs, and it was too sweet how you could feel his hands tremble as they held yours ever so delicately.
So yeah, he worried to introduce you to his family, but the way you brightened up the room instantly had him starstruck. You’re perfect, that’s it. That’s the tweet.
The rosey glass shattered after a few lingering months of dating. His insecurities reared their heads, resting sharp grips on his shoulders as they whispered in his ears all kinds of falsities. You liked his brothers, but maybe you liked his brothers? Why else would you be so nice to them?
And, maybe that’s why you were smiling at Leo like that? Raph is right here, so why were you talking to his brother? He couldn’t even focus enough to heard you both holding the most mundane conversation ever about some shop that opened up over on Moore’s. He steeped in the tea of jealousy, filling his senses to the brim with worry.
The worst part about it was that if you liked Leo, he couldn’t even blame you. Leo was like water, while Raph was stone. Raph stood still, he could be bossy at times, while Leo was a spunky little river that would keep you on your toes. Leo was never boring, and he could keep a smile on your face for as long as the day lasted..
But he didn’t want any of that to be true. None of it.
The conversation was stopped by a meek voice asking for your time, attention shifting from Brother Blue to your beloved, clad in what became your favorite color in these past few months.
“ Y/N, can we talk? ”
Ignoring Leo’s nudge and teasing “ ooooooohs ”, you nodded with a smile, following Raph with a pep in your step.
“ Of course, dear. ”
That lead to the silence you currently shared—with him leaning against the wall of his room, gaze fixated on some smudges on the floor. That should be cleaned up, he thought, trying to not think of how you were sat on his bed, awaiting whatever it was he needed off his chest.
“ Raph? ”
You were the first to talk, already well acquainted with your love’s tiptoeing when it came to any sort of conversation that might be unsavory. You watched as he twisted his expression, tightening his lips—whatever it was, it was bothering him profusely, and you couldn’t help the pang gripping your heart..
“ Raph…? ”
Again, your voice seemed weaker this time. That was what gave him the drive to speak, he couldn’t handle leaving you in such a state, he needed to know if these worries of his were dumb!
“ Do you like Leo? ”
“ What. ”
Your response was so fast and curt, the product of being completely taken off guard with a left hook. There were plenty of other ideas you had for the direction of this conversation, such as having beaten his leftovers last week or how you have his favorite hoodie in your laundry basket right now. Maybe even the secret trips to Donnie’s, who was currently helping you get together a gift for Raph’s birthday next month. A particularly low worry even fretted that this might be a conversation about your relationship and how it should end.
But, instead it’s about Leo? What an easy question to answer!
“ Sorry, I didn’t mean that, I mean to say no. ”
Raph’s shoulders loosened and a breath of relief slipped out of him—when had he even started holding his breath?? Never mind that. You snorted at the absurd thought of liking Leo of all people.
“ Why would I like Leo? Raph, c’mere. ”
You held your hands out, and the way his hands fell into yours spelled out a desperation to be close to you. With a gentle tug, he climbed onto his bed, and you melted into his chest. A storm was brewing in his chest, his heart thundering nervously.
“ Ya just, Raph don’t know, something—he, just… Raph was worried, s’all. Afraid ya preferred him over a… ”
While he was searching for whatever word to insult himself with, you captured his attention with a gentle peck on the lips. Your fingers gently held his chin, turning his focus to lay fully on you.
“ Over a charming, handsome hero? ”
There was that adorable smile, peppering his lips as a light laugh erupted from his chest.
“ You think I’d prefer Leo, who is a risky little ticking time bomb, over my knight in shining armor? ”
He whispered a rebuttal, something along the lines of “ he really is, huh? ”
“ Oh Raph-a-doodle, never could I want anyone other than you. ”
Leaning up, you pressed your forehead against his and gazed into his eyes. They searched yours for a hint of deceit, for anything to latch onto and spiral about, but all he found was warmth.
Thus, the jealousy flame died out, and he plummeted backwards against his bed, dragging you down with him. He gave a heavy exhale as you giggled atop his plastron, scolding him for being so silly.
┆ ── ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ — Donnie 💌
The green of jealousy was a hue you never expected to be painted across the purple canvas you called your boyfriend, but surely there is a chance for any reality to blossom true, right?
Jealousy had sewn seeds far before either of you could catch on, oblivious to the roots which spiraled and narrowed vision to see only one option as opposed to the myriad of other reasonings. You had poured love into your dearest Donnie, so much so that you couldn’t even fathom any room for jealousy. How could he ever be jealous? Surely he knows full and well just how you look at him? Obviously he knows just how only he can pluck the strings of your heart, strumming love with each touch, in a way unlike any other.
Why, if you were Excalibur, then he was your King Arthur.
So, yeah, may the gods above forgive you for not considering a jealous Donnie as a reality to worry about—though, is it really too worrying? Your boyfriend being jealous? Kind of interesting, doesn’t it just trip up your heart into a flurry of skips?
No? Just me?
Anyways, you had missed entirely the shifting of his gaze when Mikey would enter the room. The low growl, the holding of his breath, none of it had appeared in your mind as you laughed along with whatever silly antics the youngest brother would get up to. Sometimes you would even entertain him! I mean, he is your boyfriend’s little brother, so it’s only right that you laugh at his jokes, get along with him, and all that good stuff.
But, jealousy was the type to hold someone still, to draw their gaze upon one stiff perspective and allow no other reasoning. For a man of science, even he was not above the laws of insecurity in relationships, so when he saw how bouncy his brother was around you, never did he contemplate the obvious. Nary a thought shall he consider that it was simply his brother getting along with his brother’s girlfriend, nor did he consider maybe you were being nice. No, the sour, bitter green dipped his head in the nastiness of jealousy, and all he could consider in this moment was that you must have liked his brother more.
Or maybe, his brother liked you and intended to steal you away? Why else would you laugh so heartily at whatever nonsense his brother spouted? Whatever reason was there for the times he would find you in the kitchen, fixing up dinner alongside Mikey? What else could explain you returning home with topside art supplies and personalized tips to his youngest brother?
Obviously the jealous mind of Donatello Hamato was going to omit one important factor: you did this with all his brothers. If they told a good joke, you would laugh. If Mikey made dinner, you were guaranteed to be in the kitchen helping by fixing you and Donnie’s plates to your liking. If there was something on the surface any of the brothers needed, you would totally put it on your errand run, delivering it during your next visit.
But, jealousy cares not for easy explanations. It craves the most dramatic interpretations, and in this case?
The juiciest interpretation was that Mikey had set his eyes on you, Donnie’s prized lover, and you had fallen for him hook, line, and sinker.
No, no, no, Donnie says, not on his watch would he let you be swept off your feet by anyone else.
“ Y/N. ”
Donnie leaned forward, fingers firmly locking with yours and giving an urgent tug. There was a thickness layered in his eyes that left Mikey shrinking away, confused as to what he could’ve done wrong.
“ Let’s go,”
Straightening up, he couldn’t help the grin widening on his face in a “ I’ve won ” type of manner. You simply waved to his brother.
“ You haven’t forgotten why you’re here, have you? ”
The look in his eyes caused your heart to skip, unprepared for such a heavy gaze that you hadn’t yet experienced. A nervous smile rose on your expression as you looked anywhere but the face giving you a look that would serve to make you fall even harder.
“ Of course not, Dee. ”
Donnie noted your refusal to eye contact, and instead of assuming it was one of your usual bashful moments caused by yours truly, his thoughts were plagued with theories of Mikey somehow worming his way into the heart Donnie swore was his.
“ Right. ”
He muttered in a curt fashion, leading you both to his lab.
The uncomfortable awkwardness blanketing the atmosphere had not gone unnoticed as you followed him, thumb stroking loving little hearts upon the upside of his palm. Usually he would meet this with a firm squeeze, but you could recognize when your genius had his mind up in the clouds. He wasn’t even paying attention to you, was he?! And to think you came all this way to entertain his experiments, hoping to get a kiss or two, only to be met with unnecessary coldness?
What the heck, man?
“ Prepare to behold the wondrous creations of the genius, Donatello. ”
Whatever stink he had been brewing in just seconds prior had evaporated as he unveiled his newest creation: an air-fryer that could quite literally create anything from thin air.
You tried to ignore the distant shout of the youngest brother, something along the lines of “ Hey! Where’s the air-fryer?! ”
Donnie had not ignored it, nor had he dismissed the stifled laughter from you that he surely knew the cause of. His hands clenched, wrapping into crossed arms as he leaned his weight into the table.
“ Annoyed sigh. ”
While rolling his eyes, he muttered an annotation to the peeved groan slipping his lips. There it was again, you noted with a narrowed gaze, that odd discontentment he’d been soaking in this night.
“ Alright, spill it. ”
You mirrored his lean, relying on one of the structural pillars in his lab to hold your weight. Your fingers thumped impatiently against your bicep as your eyes soaked in Donnie’s body language. He seemed to stiffen, either nervously or defensively, you didn’t know.
“ Spill what? ”
He spoke with such an accusatory tone that you were almost ticked off. You held your tongue, hoping to keep this civil and not devolving into mindless argument.
“ Spill wh—?! ”
Sputtering, your hands gestured wildly before quite literally framing him. He knew what you meant, he wasn’t dumb!
“ Whatever is making you so, so—so THIS! ”
His brow raised, and he almost seemed insulted as you threw your hands up with a frustrated growl.
“ Why are you so upset with me right now? What did I do? ”
That seemed to do the charm of dragging out what you’ve been looking for, the explanation, as he straightened his posture and pushed off the table.
“ Oh save me the innocent act, Y/N,”
Confusion painted your face, and for a moment he physically faltered, unsure to continue after such a clear display of hurt across your pretty face. After a second, his mouth tugged into a frown, shaking off the hesitation to continue his claim,
“ I know you like Mikey, so just do us both a favor and go scurry along after him. ”
Donnie waved his hand off, pointing to the door. Whatever look you had on your face at that moment must have embodied just how deeply the pain in your heart crawled, right on down to your very core, because he seemed to balk at his own words. A bit of regret wrapped around him as he muttered something too low for you to hear.
Tightening your lips, you straightened this time and took a few steps to close the gap between you and him.
“ You will not talk to me like that, and what’s this about me liking Mikey? Your little brother? ME? You think I like him?! ”
There was no way, right? He couldn’t be serious? You, liking Mi—he might as well have been your brother too! You could never like him over Donnie?! What an outrageous claim, you thought, standing your ground in front of Donnie. This could have been avoided if he had just not been such, such a…
“ Obviously! Why else would you be bringing him gifts and helping him out in the kitchen? ”
You opened your mouth to speak, only to be interrupted as he continued with an accusatory finger pointing no where specific.
“ And I’ll have you know that I have read about ‘Cooking together’ and I know how much of an intimate bonding experience it is! ”
The childish stomp he gave, throwing his fists against his sides stiffly, served to diminish almost all the frustration bubbling up. You snorted at the sight, causing him to loosen up, confusedly tripping over his words to sputter out a “ Wh-What, what is this, what’s so funny? ”
“ … You’re a riot, Dee. ”
Wiping away the tiny tears pricking from such a hearty laugh, your eyes met his with less of anger and more of the warmth he was far too familiar of.
“ Since apparently I’m the only one of us with some sense, I’ll have YOU know that I do that for all of y’all! ”
Sheepishly, he seemed to curl into himself as you poked your index finger right into his plastron to emphasize the “ you ”.
“ I bring you gifts all the time—April, Raph, Leo, hell, even Splinter, too! ”
Jealousy was starting to burn away, leaving behind the bashful shame as he started to finally contemplate the more reasonable explanations for your behavior. Silently he condemned himself for starting up this whole dumb debacle with such a blatant disregard to the facts.
“ And of COURSE I help Mikey with cooking. You have a specific palette that he doesn’t always remember fully, so it’s up to me to make sure you get a fulfilling meal you’ll actually eat, dummy! ”
Ah, now that was the part that did him in, something he didn’t even know. Just as you were going to continue, he stepped closer.
“ Wait, you do? ”
“ I do—do what? I said a lot of things, Donnie, be specific. ”
Derailed, you stumbled over your claims, lost suddenly at which point he had cling to.
“ I thought Michael was just inconsistent in his preparation of my dishes, but since you say that, I do recall my meals being much better when you were around. ”
His hands had found their way upon your shoulders as he spoke, gaze flitting all across the lab as he collected his thoughts.
“ I had suspected meals were just better when you were around because, well.. ”
You softened as his gaze fell onto you.
“ Because you were there.. ”
Silence fell upon you both, except more comfortably this time. He exhaled deeply, marked with his trademark “ relieved sigh ” then smiled at you.
“ Oh Y/N, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to drag you into such a ridiculous argument. I was just… ”
“ You were just… Jealous? ”
Your teasing gaze was searing through him, so much so he shut his eyes tightly and groaned annoyedly.
“ As much as I would wish to not admit it, yes. I may have been experiencing,”
He waved his hand in the air, as if collecting his words.
“ Jealousy, towards your interactions with Miguel.. ”
Donnie was relieved as you laughed away all his worries, leaning in to plant a kiss on his lips. The moment lingered for a few, as if desperately needed to mend this situation, stopping only when you pulled away.
“ Alright, you’re forgiven… For now—BUT! Next time just talk to me, dummy, you got me all riled up for no reason. ”
With that, you gave a playful shove that had him gasping as though he were insulted, and quick to rush to his experiment’s side with more questions than he could keep up with.
Not like he hated an attentive and questioning audience, though. Much appreciated.

Pairing: Mikey/GN!Reader Rating: Everyone Contents: Mikey is the first to get a partner, Donnie's a bit weird, but we still love him, Splinter loves soap operas Warnings: None, really? Wordcount: 1,386
Tumblr media
Notes: Guess who's back! Back again! ♪(┌・。・)┌ Finally, after one too many years!
Tumblr media
Mikey's heart soared when he entered a relationship with his significant other. Overflowing with excitement and joy, he celebrated the transition from friends to partners, ending a period of mutual uncertainty. Even his older brothers and sensei, who had been quietly rooting for the two of you to get together for almost a year, let out sighs of relief. What he once feared was unrequited affection had blossomed into a loving relationship. As they embarked on the honeymoon phase, Mikey believed this blissful period would never end. He felt incredibly fortunate to have his best friend as his partner in crime.
Mikey had always been your friend, adhering to the principle of friendship first before exploring any romantic possibilities. Yet, things were different now—more intimate and personal. With mischievous chuckles (huehuehue), he could do things he couldn't before without raising eyebrows. Mikey could hug you just because, plant kisses on your head, and shower you with compliments, all while grinning from ear to ear as he watched you blush, trying to return the favor. It felt like, in those moments, he fell in love with you all over again simply because he could finally give you the affection you deserved.
At first, Mikey was too absorbed in your newfound relationship to notice, but his brothers were watching him. And weirdly so.
Whenever you came over for movie marathons, Donnie would emerge from his lab intermittently. Coincidentally, he always seemed to be peeking around the corner during your debates or when you and Mikey were theorizing about a new movie's plot. Initially, Mikey wanted to say something because it felt like Donnie was intruding on his time with you. However, he was more relieved that the usually work-obsessed Donnie was taking a break from his screens, even if it meant eavesdropping on your conversations. At least they weren't personal ones.
Raph, on the other hand, was thankfully more discreet. He didn't pop up out of nowhere like some sort of gopher to intrude on Mikey's private moments with you. Instead, Raph observed from a distance when you two were in more public settings. He tried to be subtle, stealing glances at how Mikey leaned in close to hear you at the dinner table, the way he smirked in a failed attempt to hide his giggles at an inside joke, or how he gently nudged you aside with a soft "pardon me, angel-cakes," holding your hip as he reached for something and then carefully moving you back. At times, a fleeting flash of envy would appear in Raph's eyes as he watched, but it would quickly vanish, replaced by an unreadable expression.
Leo was a different story altogether. He was certainly more direct than his other two brothers. He would openly ask Mikey questions, sometimes subtly weaving them into their conversations. Other times, he would just blurt them out, regardless of how out of pocket they might seem. It took Mikey quite a while to catch on to Leo's unusual questioning.
Eventually, Mikey sought out Splinter, thoroughly weirded out by his older brothers' antics—if he could even call them that. "Hey, Sensei?" The aging rat turned his gaze from watching his soap opera. "What’s the matter, my son?"
Mikey’s lips pressed into a thin line. "Have you by chance noticed the way the others have been acting?"
"Ah, you must be referring to the way they have been observing you." Splinter caressed his beard, which had recently been braided, courtesy of you spending time with him earlier that day. Mikey smiled fondly seeing it as he sat down on the couch next to him.
"So I haven’t been making it up then!"
"Indeed. It makes sense why they would want to watch you, though."
Huh? "What- why? But I’m not doing anything crazy that’s out of my usual."
Splinter’s dark eyes gazed at his youngest, who was so intuitive yet naive. "Perhaps you are not. However, you are the first amongst your brothers to be experiencing a romantic relationship."
That made Mikey pause. He understood the implication, yet at the same time, he couldn't quite grasp why it mattered. So he just went, "Huh, I guess that makes sense," and did a slow nod. Why did he go to his dad again? He should have known that Splinter's wise words often left him more confused than before.
Mikey eventually grasped the meaning behind his father's words during one of your weekend movie nights at your place. With no work in the morning, you both were engrossed in a marathon of the John Wick series. For once, Mikey's attention was more on the movie than on you, and it was as if a gentle tap on his brain brought him to a realization.
He was setting the example for his brothers. Although it took him a while to come to this conclusion, he was relieved that it didn't require any dramatic arguments or life-threatening situations. It was just John Wick fighting for the memory of his late wife that sparked the insight. Oh. OH!
The staring and the questions all made sense now. None of his older brothers had lovers of their own, and there wasn’t a reference for mutants in romantic relationships, so they were looking to him as some form of guidance. And Splinter, bless his soul, while a great father and the closest male role model a rat can be, had no personal experience in romance either, not unless you count his addiction to soap operas. It was nerve-wracking because that also meant he couldn’t turn to them for help. As the youngest turtle in his close-knit family, Mikey was used to having his older brothers handle the tough stuff for him. This arrangement never troubled him; it allowed him more freedom to pursue his interests. However, with a newfound understanding of the sacrifices his brothers made on his behalf, Mikey felt a mix of offense and gratitude. Initially, he questioned if their actions stemmed from a belief in his incompetence. Upon further reflection, though, he realized their motives were pure—they simply wanted to keep him safe and shield him from the stress that came from such burdens.
Previously, Mikey's focus was more lighthearted, free from the heavier burdens his brothers carried—Leo tasked with ensuring everyone's safety, Donnie charged with maintaining their tech and home in peak condition, and Raph driven to fortify their resilience against any challenge. Yet, Mikey found himself considering not just his own well-being but yours as well.
His brothers weren't the ones committed to you; he was. Mikey was your turtle, your other half. It was his responsibility to fight for you, care for you, and love you until it felt like his heart would bleed for you. Later that night, as he held you close to his plastron and basked in your scent, he made vows that only he could hear.
As time passed, Mikey became more open, allowing his brothers to see how he navigated his relationship or talking about you whenever you were brought up. Not that Mikey minded—he loved any opportunity to talk about you.
“Yeah, we’ve been going stargazing together.” “But you don’t care about stars, Mikey?”
“True, but I do now because (Y/n) likes them.”
He showed that it’s okay to be vulnerable. It's alright not to always have everything under control because it's the two of you against any problem. He showed it's fine to engage in activities like painting nails or sharing quirky moments together. Supporting them through everyday tasks like doing laundry, preparing dinner, or simply listening to them vent about the latest work gossip is valuable. And it's okay to let them know you love them and that he's just a call away if they ever need help.
His brothers seemed to appreciate that—and you, since you received equal effort from him—because one by one they each eventually found someone to call their own. And gradually, each one found someone special in their lives. Surprisingly, they all turned to him for advice, one after the other. It was an unfamiliar role for Mikey, being the giver rather than the receiver of guidance. He wondered, was this how Splinter and Leo felt most of the time?
Huh… being the leading example sure was satisfying.

↬ ROTTMNT BOYS PROPOSAL HEADCANON.
Tumblr media
rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
request: ❝ Hey! How do you think the rise turtles would propose to their partner? ❞ — anonymous.
warnings: none. tying the knot.
characters: raphael, leonardo, donatello, michelangelo.
writers note: hey, thank you for requesting! this been sitting in the drafts since it’s been requested and now finally finished, sorry if it’s dookie, wrote this faster than a car almost slamming into me.
readers pronouns are not mentioned nor included.
Tumblr media
*◌ೃ࿔ ┆RAPHAEL.
✶ raphael would make it really special, taking you somewhere to eat for dinner, having a small, yet meaningful conversation with you, then finally building up the courage to propose to you in hopes that he’ll have you in a old, almost-going-blind-and-deaf age, a long time marriage. raphael doesn’t like the attention that much, said previously, he wants this to be a special moment, no interruptions from his younger brothers and father, he wants you alone. that’s when you started to notice the nervousness in raph’s body language, going to the stench to the fiddling of something captivated within his palm.
✶ that’s when he gets down on one knee, like in the movies, saying a sentence in meaningful quotes, your full name and finally saying the four words he’s been meaning to say all day. “will you marry me?”
*◌ೃ࿔ ┆LEONARDO.
✶ If you have been dating leonardo since his teenage years, there’s a lot of marriage jokes, or how he often, yet playfully proposes to you at the worst moment possible. however now doing the real thing, best believe he’s nervous than ever, he’s pretty unnatural. he’ll propose to you on your birthday, he thinks that’s a perfect opportunity for him, though april and michelangelo gave him that push. chance of him getting on one knee somewhere in lair, away from his brothers, or getting on knee after they sang ‘happy birthday’ to you.
✶ he’s always seen a life with you, and he always feared rejection, even when he first asked you to be his partner. whatever answer you give him, he respects your decision. if you agreed, he’s overjoyed, and the celebration doesn’t end there. expect him to cry during that moment of happiness, splinter even cried for his son.
*◌ೃ࿔ ┆DONATELLO.
✶ donatello fears commitment. he doesn’t know when is the perfect time to actually ask you to spend a long life time with him. the movies made it simple to ask their lovers to be theirs forever, he also fears of being divorced somewhere in life. his teen years, he never believed he’ll find himself with a beautiful small velvet box in hand, just waiting to ask his soon-to-be-spouse. hopefully. he wants this moment to between you and him, somewhere that doesn’t have his siblings or father involved. to be honest, he had bought the ring awhile back, afraid of asking you at the moment, now he’s ready to put it on your finger and has the perfect place to ask you too.
✶ he talks to you, meaningfully. asking you what you see in your future and if he is in it… data collection calms him down, that’s a sign to ask him what’s on his mind. he’s trying not to hyperventilate right then and there, however he’s got the sentences out and now waiting for an answer.
*◌ೃ࿔ ┆MICHELANGELO.
✶ michelangelo is positive that he’ll find someone that he’ll someday marry. he never expected for himself to blink and suddenly buy a ring in your finger size. and he went to his brothers for help, april being the only one to help him. being nervous, he started to cry. michelangelo was terrified of the outcome, yet a bit excited? If you were already with him in his teens, he already talked about marrying you, you know, average teenage junk. so, this is a very special moment for him, and taking advice from leo it’ll be interesting. he doesn’t want to propose to you at the lair, he takes you to a place, yours and his secret hideout. It was a place that was once abandoned now covered in his art.
✶ that’s where he wants to propose to you. he even decorated the room, baked also. he’s just waiting for the perfect moment to ask you to marry him. and when he does, he’ll only feel his heart beat stop and waiting for your answer, he could hope that you’ll say yes and spend your days with him.
Tumblr media
end - this was pretty much mindlessly written, I really needed to throw this out there. my wifi got shut off and I ended up getting sick 😔 (lmao bozo). I’m also trying to finish up the headcanons and scenarios before finishing up the oneshots. (Idek if you call this a headcanon..)

Omg this is my first request! Poly relationship with the turtles request by @trtlegirl00
TW: a bit of sexual harassment, misogyny
Poly!turtles x fm!reader (Requested)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Work was hell - then again, it's always been hell.
This entire week, your boss has been on your back demanding 10 different tasks from you and scolds you infront of everybody when you haven't finished it. You tried explaining you were doing 4 tasks at once, staying overtime, and barely eaten anything and guess what he said to you?
"Not my problem." He said, with a SHRUG on his shoulders.
You were not tolerating his mistreatment anymore and did the unthinkable; you stepped hard on his foot and he yelped in pain, gasps around the office. Due to the mistreatment you and your colleagues went through, they all clapped.
"I'll see you in fucking court. And don't think I didn't miss you pinching my ass at last week's party. Perv." Then you left.
Despite all that, it just drains the life out of you realizing you're jobless. Fired, for sure. Getting sued? Absolutely.
You dragged yourself to the lair mindlessly. All you want were hugs right now.
"Hey, angel cakes is back!" Mikey saw you from the kitchen and ran to you, only to find you emotionless. Your hair was in a loose bun, your formal clothes unbuttoned and shoes removed, you holding it.
"Angel? What's wrong?" Mikey grew concerned.
That made you break. "I hate everything!" You bawled out of nowhere dropping everything in the process and hugged Mikey sobbing in his shoulder.
"Uhh guys!" Mikey called, catching 3 other turtles' attention.
"What happened?!" Leo asked in panic, holding you and inspecting you for wounds. He saw how messy you looked thinking you got harassed.
"Who hurt you, baby?" Raph held your crying face. "I'll kill 'em. How dare they hurt you like this?!"
"Calm down, you hothead," Donnie pushed the bigger turtle away and inspected you. Once he confirms you weren't physically hurt, he took off his goggles and stroked your hair. "She wasn't physically hurt. But there's something else here. What happened, love? Deep breaths."
You told them everything, which in between the guys slowly getting angry for you until the last part you mentioned your boss touched you in a dinner party:
Leo stopped blinking.
Raph broke a baseball bat he was holding-- which you didn't notice he was holding it. That was weird.
Donnie dropped his gadget.
Mikey gasped. Typical.
"I'm gonna kill him."
Now, people would expect this reaction from Raph, right?
Nope.
"Donnie wait calm down!" Mikey held onto Donnie's leg but the tallest turtle walked to the exit with ease.
"Put down that knife! Sensei used that to cut the fishes!" Leo exclaimed. Please, Leo. That isn't important right now.
"I'm goin' with ya, Don." That was Raph. Of course he's gonna join Donnie kill anybody who touched their s/o.
It took about 20 minutes to calm down your tallest boyfriend and he was still eager to murder your boss but he saw how exhausted you are, so he stopped and hoist you up in his arms, bringing you to the living room.
Your four boyfriends huddled up with you in the middle; two of them holding both of your hands, 1 was massaging your toes and 1 massaging your shoulders.
You'd rather be stuck down in the lair than being in the human world.
Money? You'll think of something.
Right now, you just want to be with your boyfriends.
I hope this was okay C: i'm sorry it took me almost a week to do your request; i'm actually a working lady xD i work 8-5 everyday and i'm tired all the time. i may have added a bit of my story inside. regarding this, stay safe at work or in public. report when you must and don't let any man tell you what's what.

so i’m indie tmnt.. about leo and karai.. how’s that work?
So in Indie TMNT, Leo and Karai are what you could call “a couple” and while in the beginning that’s much more of a correct term, they mellow out as more of a super fighting duo that enjoys each other’s company.
Leo is the first to notice Karai and develop a crush, though he knows that it’s weird and he’s very shy about it. He does nice things for her and will cover for her even when he shouldn’t.
Karai in the beginning doesn’t have any feelings about him, negative or positive, he’s just another guy Shredder rants about at dinner. The Shredder, however, sees the potential for getting close to the turtles via Leo’s crush and she and him concoct a plan to play Leo. Unfortunately though, Karai actually ends up liking him back. They have many common interests, she thinks he’s funny and they naturally get along very well. So then Karai is caught between a rock and a hard place having to play double agent for both Leo and the Shredder.
During the invasion, Karai’s loyalties are really put in jeopardy as the Shredder is giving her direct commands and Leo is standing right there. Though Leo ends up thinking she chose to side with the Shredder—which he accepts and respects since he would do the same for his father, though he’s still kinda heart broken—Karai actually saved his life. I won’t spoil how, but she does in her typical sly manner.
Afterwards they make up and explain what happened. As time goes on, Leo’s teen crush kind of mellows into more of a close friendship and same with Karai. They’re both aware that their relationship won’t go anywhere and they’re okay with that, so they both decide that their relationship will end up being more like a friendship than a romance.
I hope this makes any amount of sense. I’m basing their relationship off of a couple I know in real life so it feels more natural. I do this with all relationships I write, for instance, April & Casey and Raph & Mona are based off stories I’ve heard of my parents as teenagers/young adults.
I think this is the most delicate relationship of all to deal with since it has a very bad reputation—no thanks to 2012–and can often come off as weird. The objective of Indie TMNT is to recreate and master everything in the TMNT universe and consolidate it into one iteration.
I think I want something more similar to the 87 Leo and Lotus which is very cute(in my opinion). I think people often take these relationships too seriously and forget the fact that the turtles are 15-16. All of the “romantic” relationships in my tmnt are very pure hearted “hey, I like you being here” sort of relationships.
PLEASE NOTE: a lot of this could end up changing because of plot reasons, so don’t take this as exactly what will happen to the letter. This is a vague idea that I currently have jotted down, so take this with a grain of salt and thank you for your understanding.
Also, I WANT OPINIONS ON THIS!
Good question! :]

lonely holiday
SAINW Raph
Twenty-two degrees. Sliver moon. About 8pm.
Raph crouched next to April's porch, watching the snow fall.
He'd only realized a couple hours ago that it was December 25.
It had always been a bit weird to him, anyway, that they celebrated Christmas. Mikey and Donnie saw it on tv, and Splinter was eager enough for them to experience some kind of culture, he'd always done what he could to make it special for them. Then when they made friends with the Professor, and through him made acquaintances with other humans in their neighborhood, they'd noticed the stark contrast between Christmas for the wealthy... and Christmas for people like them.
It had never been their holiday. Just scraps they borrowed from the loudest of the humans. Why should he still feel obligated to stop by?
Soft light and quiet voices drifted through the window. It sounded like Mikey was telling a story. Anything to keep his mind off recent events. Mikey had always been that way.
Raph sighed, finally giving up on the idea of knocking. If he'd been sitting here this long, it wasn't gonna happen. He shifted, getting ready to toss three small packaged onto the porch.
Before he did, he heard a soft thud. Then two more, softer. He peeked over the edge of the porch--and found three packages.
Then a turtle dropped down behind them.
Raph felt himself deflate. He could wait for him to leave, but if he did he'd just be angry at himself all week, wondering why he didn't reach out, to try to talk, to punch him square in the snout, maybe cry together. Maybe even make things right.
But probably not.
"Hey," he hopped onto the porch, his voice stopping Leo before he could knock. "What are you doing here?"
Leo's eyes widened. "Raph, I--" then his expression hardened. "I was just checking on Mikey. What are you doing here?"
Raph placed his packages down next to Leo. "Just dropping something off."
They glared at each other over top of the messily wrapped gifts, neither acknowledging how they'd clearly not included each other.
Then the door swung open. Casey's laughter petered off as he took in the tense situation right outside his front door.
"Hey guys," he greeted calmly. "Whatcha standing out in the cold for? You should come in. We just had dinner; want us to make you a plate?"
Leo kept his eyes on Raph, waiting for him to make the first move.
He kept doing that. Raph hated it. Leo was always one who watched for his enemies to make the first move, wanting to understand the way they would think before he decided how to proceed. If it was that, if they were just enemies now, maybe Raph could handle it.
But he was looking at him the way he used to look at Master Splinter; waiting for a judgment call.
Well, Leo had given up on Master Splinter, and Raph didn't intend to plug any holes for him.
He turned away.
"You guys go in. I got places to be."
It was a bold-faced lie, and he didn't think any of them wouldn't see right through him. He didn't care.
"Come on, Raph. April made way too many mashed potatoes for just three of us."
Raph paused, but only to angle his head up and blink away tears. It was so much like something Don would've said.
He waved a hand at Casey dismissively. "I'll see you guys for New Years."
He walked away and kept walking, knowing Casey and Leo would stand on the porch letting the cold in until he was well and truly gone.
He wasn't gonna let anyone hang around in doorways for him. Leo could have Christmas. Leo could have it all.
Raph was better off alone.

——————————————————————————
Raph❤️ - non established relationship
- your family owned a very cool breed of turtle
- As a kid you used to adore him
- He was your pride and joy :)
- That was until one fate full day your aligator snapping turtle was snatched up by some tall goat freak show of a man.
- You wanted revenge
- but since you weren’t even old enough to go out on your own you waited the day you set your eyes on your beloved turtle
- Now things have changed
- You met April though your new school in New York
- You both took a photograph class and now you guys have been great friends since !
- She soon introduced the turtles when she was ready
- Now you stood in front of four human sized turtles.
- Except for one.
- This one looked vaguely familiar…
“This one is Leo and this is raph!” You waved sheepishly at them all which the one in orange soon returned. “It’s nice to meet you all finally! April has been bragging about you guys for weeks !” You felt a small hit to the arm as you all chuckled. The brothers even let you stay for dinner ! As the pizza boxes were being put out you couldn’t help but stare at the turtle. “Hey , do you need help with those? Also I couldn’t help but notice your cool fighting skills! April showed me a video of you fighting some feet clan or something?” Raph looked up at you with sparkles in his eyes. No one had ever had full interest in who he was beyond his green skin and stink. “Oh yeah ! I think you mean to foot clan but yes , our dad splinter taught us how to train . Well as most he could anyway heh” you chuckled and picked up the rest of the boxes and brought them to the group. “Jupiter Jim anyone ? “ the blue one shouted. Everyone lit up as you nodded with a smile. You say the pizza boxes down and everyone took a slice. You and raph talked throughout the whole movie. Whispering of course 😊. As the last scene finishes you couldn’t help but ask for raphs number. He was super interesting and not to mention handsome as all hell. Once you got home he texted you first.
“Hey it’s Raphael! I’m really glad I met you today , it was fun :)”
“Yes it was ! Hey I forgot to mention that you look really familiar to me. I can’t stop thinking where I have seen you !”
“Heh , that’s weird. Maybe did you have a pet turtle or someone you knew did ? “
“ I actually did , but he got taken by some funky goat man when I was little . The turtle was older than me by like 3 months lol”
“Umm well I think I might need to do some explaining but I think I was your turtle”….
Donnie💜 - non established relationship
- you couldn’t help but realise how your friend Donnie looked vaguely familiar
- Could it be his eyebrows ?
- Or maybe his mask?
- The question replayed in your head but a ding in your phone shut your thoughts up
Ding ding. Your phone went off. The smooth ring tone you had set for Donnie rung loudly in your room filling up the lingering silence and loudness of your thoughts. You expression changed when you saw the picture he sent you. Rather the selfie he sent you. It was him in a fight with some , goat man? Omg ! The same man that had stolen your soft shell turtle has a kid !!! You text Donnie back quickly.
“ that goat man stole my turtle as a kid :(“
“What.”
“Yeah. He was the family pet we had. But he stole my angry little soft shell turtle.”
“ you know he mutated us right ? And umm I’m a soft shell … surprise I might be your childhood pet …”
Mikey🧡 - established relationship
- mikey was your sweetheart of a boyfriend
- But he had a familiar feeling about him
- You felt as though those same hands you held that you have touched before
- That same cheek you have kisses , you have kissed before
- Mikey feels the same , that’s when you both realise something …
You and your turtle boyfriend are cuddling on the couch and watching Jupiter Jim. You turn to him with a smile on your face. He looks down at your sparkling eyes and pauses the movie. “Are you ok baby cakes ? You’re looking at me with stars in your eyes:)” you look into his eyes once more , holding eye contact while you spoke. “You know , when I first met you, you seemed really familiar to me. Now that we are dating I can’t help but feel that it’s getting stronger. I just don’t know where it’s come from !!” He looked at you with a sudden surprised expression. “No way , man ! Me too. Like when you hold me it feels , nostalgic.” You looked at the tv again. A goat had been mutated to an alien on screen. “Hey I knew someone who was kind of a goat man. He stole my turtle when I was younger! “ oh. Mikey finally clicked. You had heard of his past and how he was mutated. You both smiled at the same time and in sink squealed! “You were my pet as a kid !! I loved you , still do !! <33” mikey felt the need to hug you in that moment.
Leo 💙
- your blue boyfriend was swinging his swords in training.
- You looked up at him to feel an unknown sensation
- As if , you knew him before ?
- Like maybe in a past life ?
- No , too far.
- But his laugh felt too nostalgic to be a coincidence….
Leo turned to you as you gave him a curious look. The way his sword swooshed in the air , the way his bandana tails swayed with every hit of the air around him. He felt kinda like home. You really loved your boyfriend. He meant the world to you. Before when you were just friends, in the early stages of your guys relationship it really felt as if that you had know each other for years. It was a spark that ignited into a forest fire of warmth. His stupid witty jokes and smirks felt all too familiar in this moment. You clearly have a horrible poker face as he came and sat next to you. “You good babe ? You have been weird all day, any guys ass I need to kick ?” You chuckled , always with the jokes to lighten the mood. “Nah I’m good just can’t shake this feeling that I have met you before we properly met.” He thought for a second. “Maybe in a past life ?” Definitely not. “No it feels more now. You know I had a red slider turtle just like you as a kid. Some one ended up stealing him tho :(“ Leo’s face lit up , draxum ! You both giggled at the fact of fate working its magic again. You two will always be connected wether you like it or not.

✪TURTLE BROS X READER✪ (VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL♡)
Summary:
The turtle bros spend valentines with the reader!
Warning(s):
None! Just fluff
A/N:
Y'all, I'm so sorry I haven't posted in uh, a month? take this as an apology. This was supposed to be posted on Valentine's Day, but I had a lot going on during that week, so I postponed it. Sorry guys 😓(Romantic and gender-neutral reader)
Tumblr media
《RAPH》
Valentine's day, the day of love
Assuming that you're Raph's first partner, he would be stuck on what to do and what to get you.
Should he give you chocolates? No that's so cliché.. should he just give you a card? No that's too boring...
Man's stressed
He knows you would love anything that you give him but he just can't help being torn apart on what to do
He asked his brothers for help, I told you he was stressing
But they didn't help either, infact they just teased him about it!
In the end, he ends up following his heart instead of overthinking (he's just like me fr)
Buys you a colossal-sized teddy bear holding a heart
He loves them so he thought you would love them too
Of course, you did (if you don't, I will actually find you)
And if you got him something? He will be so blushy
"Awe..thanks Raphie, it's so cute!" You spoke, holding a HUGE teddy bear Raph gifted you, you put the teddy bear down for a second to find something buried inside your bag "I actually got you something too, it's not much but it's something right?" You pulled out a heart-shaped chocolate box you got from the Dollar Store, and you watched as Raph just stared at your gift, you felt a little nervous thinking he didn't like it,
"it's okay if you don't want it I'll just-" before you could finish you felt yourself get lifted up by two big arms.
"I LOVE IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" He squealed, blush brushing his cheeks.
《LEO》
Doesn't have a hard time picking out a gift for you
Since its valentine's day, he's 20x smugger now
Not even a second will go by without you hearing a flirty comment coming out of his mouth
He's got them locked and loaded
Will take you out on a dinner date!
but not to those fancy schmancy restaurants, he don't got the money for that, plus will they really take a mutant turtle?
He'll take you to Hueso's pizzeria, cheap and they serve some great pizza.
y'all share a whole pizza, romantic right?
then for the rest of day, you guys have fun, taking strolls around the city, looking at what NYC has to offer, and then at the end of the day, you guys settle down at a random buildings rooftop
He will be overjoyed if you bought him a gift
"For me?" Leo giggled at the little teddy bear, one hand over his heart as the other took the gift, he looked at it in awe before looking at you
"Yeah, I had so much fun today! I know that it isn't all that but this is literally all I can afford" you chuckled, Leo then looked at you with an offended glare,
"How dare you? this teddy bear is more than enough!" you laughed at his response, engulfing him in a heartwarming hug.
《DONNIE》
I feel like gift-giving is his love language
So he's going all out
Will give you a butt load of gadgets and trinkets that he spends all night making just for you
He's never really celebrated Valentine's Day before, so he doesn't know how to act
Should he be more affectionate?
Or more romantic?
forces a personality, but you figured out quickly
you tell him it's okay and he doesn't have to put on this 'romantic' persona cause you already fell in love with his original one
He felt cupid shoot an arrow through his heart with that one
you spend the day in his lab, he just wants to spend some time with you and only you
doesn't know how to react if you give him a gift
he's flattered though
"Hey Donnie" you spoke, breaking the comfortable silence in the room, Donnie turned his chair to face you,
"Yes, love?" he questioned
"Today has been amazing! I really enjoyed your gifts," You started, not noticing the blush that was creeping up on his face "And I really wanted to give you this" You pull out a coffee mug you got custom-made for him,
"Oh, I, uhm"
"What's wrong?" you got worried, thinking that he didn't like it
"Thank you... i- hah! uhh" but then you figured out that he's just, y'know, malfunctioning, you snickered at this, getting up to give him a soft kiss on his snout
"You're welcome"
《MIKEY》
Probably has it marked on his calendar
With red hearts all over it
Just like Donnie, Mikey would gift you a BUNCH of stuff
Teddy bears, chocolate, cards, gift baskets, you name it, he got it
He would also make you an art piece of you and him
You hung it up on your wall
I feel like he would give you origami (he watched a YouTube video)
He's so proud of it
You guys spend the day just hanging out together, doing everything you guys come up with, baking, painting, playing video games, anything
after all of those blood-pumping activities, you guys snuggle down on the couch, Mikey putting on your favorite movie, sharing a big bowl of popcorn
somewhere in the middle of the movie you decided to give him the gift you bought him, and let me tell you, mans was jumping for joy
You and Mikey cuddled with each other, watching one of your favorite movies, it was perfect, he was perfect, "Mikey," you mumbled,
"Mhm?" Mikey responded, not taking his eyes off the projector
"Thank you so much, this has gotta be the best valentines day so far, and to show how much I appreciate you, I got you this" You take out a bouquet of beautiful scarlet roses seemingly out of nowhere, he turned to look at it, his facial expression changing so fast,
"OH MI GOSHHHHH!" he jumped up, flaring his arms everywhere, "YOU GOT THESE FOR ME?"
"Yeah! you like them?" You knew he did,
"OF COURSE? THANK YOU SO MUCH BABY!" he lunged at you, kissing your face before nuzzling his snout into your neck, you smiled as you patted his shell,
"Anytime"
Okay, I know that this was not posted on valentine's day, actually far from it BUT it's the thought that counts guys, I mean at least I posted it in February, and so sorry guys I'll be doing your request as fast as I can! love you guyzz 🥳

You and the boys walked through the Hidden City, you were looking for mystic items and scrap metal for Donnie. Donnie had his goggles down, scanning the piles of scrap. You all sifted through the junk. Once pieces were approved by D, they went in the bags you brought.
Once you all grabbed everything Donnie thought was useful you headed to Run of the Mill Pizza. Mikey swung his legs, sitting on the edge of his seat. A waiter came over and to say you couldn't keep your eyes off them was an understatement.
"Hi, I'm Arryn." They smiled, passing out menus. "What can I get you guys to drink?"
You all order, you stumble through yours, though. You felt someone looking at you, you scan the table. You and Leo make eye contact and he wiggles his eyebrows. Your face heats up and you turn away. Soon Arryn is back, placing your drinks down. Leo orders the pizza and slides closer to you.
"What do you think of Arryn?" He whispered.
"W-What?" You gasp, scooting away from him, only to bump into Raph.
"Oh come on!" Mikey chirps. "You can tell us, Bee!"
"We can all see you watching them." Donnie sighs, his finger running around the rim of his glass.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." You mumbled, covering your reddening face.
"Here you guys go. Can I get you anything else?" Arryn asks, sliding the pizzas onto the table.
"Yeah, I've got a question." A smug smirk fills Leo's face. "Are you currently seeing anyone?"
"W-What?" Arryn stutters. "Uh... No..."
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⋆⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶
You continued to visit Run of the Mill, just to see Arryn. You didn't talk much, but it was nice to see them. They spoke a lot about their family and their life in general .
One day you went, only to find Leo at your usual table. He was chatting with Arryn, his chin resting on his hand. Leo looked you, his signature smirk taunting you. He waved you over, so you went and sat next to him.
"Oh! Hi!" Arryn grins. "It's nice to you again."
"H-Hey." You smiled back. Leo pulled you in, his arm around your shoulder.
"This is the youngest of my siblings." Leo boasts. "I've heard they're a regular.
Leo and Arryn continue they're conversation. After finishing his Hawaiian pizza, Leo scurried off.
"Sorry about Leo." You laughed.
"And the others?" Arryn asks.
"Others?"
"Yeah, the purple, red, and orange ones come here pretty often too. The purple one is brutal."
"Donnie can be that way sometimes." You rub the back of your neck in embarrassment.
"Why?" Arryn takes a seat next to you. "Why are they so interested?"
"I.. um..." You stumble. Should you tell the truth? "They seem to think I have a crush on you."
"In that case..." You hoped Arryn wouldn't avoid you, you hopped your brothers hadn't scared him away. "Would you like to go out to dinner with me? I get off at 8."
⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶⊷⋆⊶⊷⊶⊷⊶
"What are we doing out here again?"
"Our sweet little Dandelion has a date with that server, Arryn."
"And?"
"And... we have to make sure it goes well!"
"Leo's right. Arryn even gave them a cloaking device so they can have their date on the surface."
"But our 'sweet little Dandelion' can handle it on their own."
"Shut up, Donnie. They haven't gone through the stuff we have, we just want to make sure they have a good life."
"Shhh! Here they come."
Your colorfully clad brothers remained hidden on the roof just outside Heuso's, where you were going to meet Arryn before your date.
"We didn't do his with Leo and-" Raph grabs Donnie, a hand over his mouth.
"Can you shut up?" Leo whisper yells. "We're supposed to be hidden. We're spies."
"I thought we were ninjas?" Donnie shoves Raph's hand away.
"Yeah, yeah, that too." Leo waves his twin off.
"Back to what I was saying... Before I was rudely interrupted." Donnie huffs, glaring at Raph. "We didn't interrogate or follow you and Usagi on your first date."
"And I thank you for that." Leo snorts.
"Uh... Guys?" Mikey starts.
"Listen, both of you have a point." Raph says. "Bee is the youngest, they didn't fight Shredder or the Kraang. We need to protect them. Leo's right about that, but Donnie's also right, we shouldn't be interrogating and stalking. This is getting out of hand."
"Guys?"
"Alright, maybe we went a little far, but they deserve to have a nice time." Leo groans. "We should give them that. If someone like Meat Sweats or Hypno find them, something could happen."
"Meat Sweats and Hypno don't even know Bee exists. We'd be drawing more attention to them by sticking around."
"Guys!" Mikey shouts. The other 3 turn to him. "We've lost them."
"Shit!"

Leo gets a call from Casey during dinner and, per the family rules, leaves the table in order to answer.
“Hey Cas-“
Casey cuts him off instantly, sounding rushed and desperate as he speaks, “Hey, Lee, sorry man I know this sound weird but can I talk to your dad? Please?”
Leo, taken aback, walks over to his father and offers him the phone, “it’s for you?”
Everyone looks up then, confused and curious as to why Casey Jones would want to talk to Master Splinter. Splinter himself looks hesitant but Leo whispers in a quieter voice, “he sounds scared.”
Splinter takes the phone without any more hesitation and steps away in order to stop his sons from listening in, “How may I be of assistance?”
Casey sniffled on the other sid wolf the phone, concerning Splinter more, “I um.. I had an argument with my dad and he got sick of my shit so he… he kicked me out. That’s pretty normal but this time he kicked my sister out with me and it’s raining and my aunt is away and I don’t really know what to do-“
“Calm yourself, Casey. I believe I understand the situation. How would you prefer I help you, by finding you a hotel to stay in or by preparing a room for you here?”
Casey takes a moment to answer, sounding less rushed but a tad more emotional, “you’d let her stay? Even if she learnt about you guys?”
Splinter can’t help but smile at the others concern despite his own distress, “I am sure. If you think she would be alright, then she is welcome no matter the circumstance. You are our friend, and so she is too.”
There is no way for Casey to hide his crying as he lets out a soft sob and the sound of hair moving gives away his nodding. He makes a affirmative sound, possibly not trusting his voice enough.
“A room shall be ready for you when you arrive,” Splinter gives his sons a pointed look as he speaks, the four of them moving into action instantly, “you can stay as long as you like. Or… as long as you need to.”
Casey shows up an hour later with a duffel bag over his shoulder, soaked from the rain and holding the hand of a little girl. Her black hair is up in piggy tails, a bright blue dress that would of been lighter before the rain twirls as she skips next to her brother.
“Taliah, these are my friends. This is Donnie, Leo, Raph, Mikey, and their father Splinter. They’re letting us stay with them for a while. I know they look a little different but-“
The young girl cuts him off, a pattern Splinter hopes doesn’t continue, “do they like kitties?”
Casey looks at them expectantly though no less confused, they all nod and Mikey grins at her, “I have a cat made of ice cream!”
Taliah grins wider than him, “Then they’re okay! No one who likes kitties can be bad! Are we all gonna have a sleep over now?”
Casey smiles the softest smile any of them have ever seen him give, cupping her cheek gently, like she was the most precious thing in the world, “Yeah, we are, sweet baby girl.”

The power inside of you - ROTTMNT One-shot Leosagi
Small but important info first. This Jotaro belongs to @thewitchwannabe!! CW: Attempted kidnapping, minor injuries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was supposed to be a calm night. 
He was coming home after spending the day between helping with a few crimes and also working part-time at the Hidden City Hospital. He thought he would just eat dinner with his family while Jotaro talked about everything he did in school that day, discuss their plans for the weekend and maybe have his weekly gaming session online with his brothers as normal. 
That was the plan, at least until his communicator started to blast an alarm that put him on edge immediately, holding up his wristband only to hear the worried voice of his twin. 
“Leo! It’s the foot clan!” Donnie sounded like they were running. He could hear Raph’s voice in the background. “I thought that we got rid of the last group, but it turns out that they were preparing for a bigger job! There are a lot of them! I’m sending you the location now.” 
He looked up only to see his husband already on the move, grabbing his sword. He got up, immediately getting his arm, connecting it to the port, and started putting his gear on.
“We’re on our way, Donnie. Do not engage until I get there, we need a plan” He waited until he received the affirmative from his twin before cutting the communication. 
“Dad? What’s going on?” 
Leo turned around to find his 10-year-old son looking between them with a worried look in his eyes. 
“Your uncles are in a bit of trouble but don’t worry, we’ll be back soon.” Seeing the tense look in Jotaro’s eyes, he got down on one knee and put one hand on his son’s shoulder. “Hey, it’s gonna be ok, we’ll be back before you notice. We’ll drop you off at Miss Foster’s and then-“ Jotaro cut him off. 
“No, Dad! I’m not a baby anymore! I can wait for you guys here. I know the rules!” He said determined.
Leo doubted, looking over at Usagi, who seemed to think about it for a second. They needed to go, and Jotaro had recently been determined to prove that he was not a little kid anymore. They didn’t have time to argue with the child. He just started his samurai and ninja training a couple of months ago, and their house was protected by a mystic spell, courtesy of Mikey.
That didn’t remove Leo’s uneasiness.
His husband crouched beside him and put a hand on top of Jotaro’s head. 
“Alright, but you have your emergency button with you at all times, make sure that everything is closed-“ Usagi was now cut off.
“And not touch anything in the kitchen unless it’s the cereals if I’m hungry, and if I don’t feel safe, I’ll run to Miss Foster’s house.” The boy said with a smile, happy to get what he wanted. 
Miss Foster was a fox yokai that lived down the mountain where they lived, having her little sisters living with her and they went to the same school as Jotaro. She had taken care of Jotaro multiple times in the past when both Leo and Usagi were out on missions. 
With a sigh, Leo left a kiss on his son’s forehead and stood up.
“Alright, but be careful, and no staying awake until too late,” He said, swinging his sword down and a blue portal appearing in front of him. 
“Got it! You guys go kick bad guy butt!” Jotaro said as Usagi put him down after a hug. His ears stood up and his little tail moved from the excitement of seeing his parents looking so cool. 
After one determined look from his husband, they crossed the portal to the location Donnie had given, which ended up being the roof of a warehouse close to the docks. 
“Good for you to join us, brother. Hi, Usagi.” Said Donnie while being in a crouched position, eyes locked on his wristband. 
“Usagi!” Mikey immediately went for a hug from Usagi, who happily returned the hug. He was only looking at his big brother when he let out a dramatic gasp “Oh, Hi Leo”
The slider just let out a chuckle, patting his little brother on the head and giving a fist bump to his siblings, before officially shifting to leader mode. 
“Don, what do we got?” From their position, they could see many people moving boxes from one of the warehouses to trucks, nothing indicating actually being the foot clan. 
“After the small groups of the clan were slowly dissolved by Casey and Junior, we found nothing of them for a good year and a half. April got a tip from very suspicious activity running around, and after some other stuff, we found that they have been building the whole clan in secret and now they’re transporting mystic artifacts” They took their goggles off and gave them to Leo so he could take a look. 
He now could see all the mystic energy coming from the boxes and all the foot clan logos on people's shirts and even the boxes, but it seemed to be hidden from the normal eye. 
“It seems that they actually learned stealth now, but I could give a deeper scan to some of the boxes and… they’re all teleportation or portal type of artifact, all related to moving through time and space” The tone of voice of the softshell was enough for Leo to know what they were thinking. 
“Leo, you think that maybe…” His older brother inquired, standing next to him. An uneasy but determined expression on his face. 
“I think so, but the question is: is it possible?” He took off the goggles and passed them back to his twin, now turning to look at Mikey. 
Mikey, after almost two decades of actively practicing and studying mysticism under Draxum’s watch, was the one with the most knowledge on the subject. 
“It shouldn’t, I haven’t heard about any artifact that is capable of that. But if they’re collecting so many… I could think that maybe they’re collecting energy for something else. Either way, I really don’t like it”
Leo agreed with the youngest. Anything that could even come close to thinking about them coming back needed to be shut down immediately. 
The number of people he could see was high, but it wasn’t something they haven’t dealt with before. For this kind of thing, he didn’t mind blowing up some stuff. After having the plan on his mind, he turned back to his family. 
“Don, Mikey, plant some mystic bombs on those trucks, we’re not leaving anything that they could use. Raph, go cover them and deal with the humans closer to the trucks. Usagi and I will go to the warehouse and buy you guys time so you can plant the bombs. Give the signal when you’re done and we get out of there.” 
Everyone gave a firm nod and they went into position. 
Leo and Usagi went to the back of the warehouse and could see from behind some containers how the Foot commander was giving orders around, but they couldn’t see Brute anywhere. 
Something wasn’t right, he could feel it in his gut, but they needed to find out what the hell was going on. 
They both entered the scene, one of Leo’s swords casually against his shoulder and Usagi still tense, but with a sly smile on his face. Still looking down from one of the containers. 
“Wow, you guys went back to the shoe-selling business?” He said, now having all eyes on them. 
Commander let out a frustrated groan. 
“Well but if it isn’t the biggest pain in my butt” We walked to the front and gave them an unimpressed look. “It’s been a while, that’s for sure” 
“I think we haven’t seen you since Warren and Hypno’s wedding?” Wondered his husband. 
“Oh yeah, I thought you guys were going to sell cupcakes and brownies with Cass, you know? Finally stopping villainy and letting us live in peace?” His stance was casual, but he was completely aware of his sibling’s mystic energy outside the warehouse. 
“We would love to, but we do have… unattended matters” His face immediately changed to something sinister. Before Leo even could say anything, he was suddenly trapped in a mystic bubble and fell to the ground, his husband in the same situation beside him. 
He immediately got up, got his swords out, and noticed how he couldn’t open any portals. 
Pink portals opened on top of them and his siblings were dropped from them, all in the same situation and groaning from the fall but recovering quickly. 
The slider was getting angry, and the feeling of uneasiness in his gut got worse by the second. He looked at Mikey, who gave him a tense but secure look on his face and subtly reached for the pouch under his cloak. 
His little brother had a plan and he was going to give him the time to pull it off. He looked at the others, who could only guess right now that he had something in mind. Given that the mind meld didn’t seem to work either. 
“You do realize that we’re not gonna let you bring them back right?” He said confidently. “I didn’t even think that you guys were dumb enough to try but I guess here we are.” 
The smile on the Foot commander didn’t falter, throwing Leo off when he started laughing. 
“Oh, that’s what you guys think we’re doing? No, no, no. But I knew you guys would be concerned if you saw we were opening a portal. The perfect excuse to bring you here and test some new mystic gadgets!” 
“Then what’s the point? You just want to kill us?” Raph asked
“Oh well, I know that I won’t be able to hold you guys for long, You all have grown so much! Now with new lives, and even getting married!” He pointed at him and Usagi. 
The villain's monologue was buying them time, but there was something in his tone that was making his anxiety spike. 
“You’re way too strong, right? So we needed a weak point! Something to finally help make amends for almost twenty years of ruining everything.” He stopped on his track and looked him straight in the eyes. “By the way Leonardo, how’s your son?” 
He felt as if his heart stopped. He knew it, he knew something was wrong. Jotaro was alone in their house. 
“Get the fuck away from him!” His husband’s yell snapped him out of his surprise, deep anger finally setting in. 
He could hear Raph pounding on the glass of the bubble and feel a strong aura of anger coming from his twin. 
“I swear to god, if you even get near him-” He cut himself off when the sound of the emergency button of his belt blasted an alarm, making his stomach drop in fear when he saw the light blue on it.  
Usagi looked at him with pure panic in his eyes. 
Jotaro pressed his emergency button. 
——————————-
Jotaro, being a rabbit, had really good hearing. 
When he started training with his parents, getting both samurai and ninjutsu training, it was one of the first things that they remarked. Saying that it was a tool of great advantage if he knew how to use it right. 
He remembers the game they used as an example. They were in the middle of the woods on a Saturday evening, his Papa sitting crossed-legged in front of him, eyes closed in concentration while his Dad was nowhere to be seen, hiding in the shadows.
It was extremely interesting seeing how his father’s ears twitched with every slight movement, standing prideful and attentive to any sound. 
Without warning, the older rabbit threw a Kunai to the top of one of the trees, being quickly met with a yelp and his Dad fell from the tree without a sound.
“Found you” It was fun to see the smug smile on his father’s face, but even more hilarious was the pout on Leo’s face as he walked with the Kunai in hand. 
“I know somehow you’re cheating” The turtle squinted his eyes in playful suspicion, making him giggle while his father rolled his eyes.
“Keep telling yourself that,” He said to his husband before turning back to the child, “Ready to give it a shot?” 
Jotaro nodded excitedly, before crossing his legs and copying the position Usagi had before.
“Good luck Jojo,” Said the ninja with a playful smile, and with the blink of an eye, was gone again. 
“Now, close your eyes and focus on the sounds, be detailed and attentive, and look for what stands out. ”Usagi explained in a whisper. “Point at him when you find him”
He nodded and closed his eyes, letting his ears stand straight, attentive to everything. 
He could hear the trees, the leaves that moved with the slight wind. The smallest animals moved through the forest.
Thud
Thud 
He opened his eyes, surprised by the sudden small sound. His father had a smile on his face that told him to continue.
Closing his eyes again, he looked for the sound again until he found it.
Thud
Thud 
It wasn’t consistent, so it was definitely his Dad going from one tree to another, he had to pay a lot of attention just to hear that small sound. His turtle dad was huge and heavy, how did he manage that? 
He followed it, finding the path that the turtle was following, and at the same time as the sound, he pointed to behind the tree on his right.
“There!”
“Great job bud!” Leo congratulated, coming from behind the tree he pointed at.
“That was great Jotaro!” Usagi praised him while hugging him tight.
He beamed at the congratulations and wanted to try again. 
After that, he was much more aware of the sounds in his surroundings, especially the steps. 
His dad’s were quiet, even when he wasn’t trying to be. His uncle’s almost all the same. Except for Uncle Raphie, whose steps could be a little heavier. But if he was trying, it was the same as his brothers.
His papa’s were a little louder, steps were firmer but he was still very light on his feet.
So when he heard the heavy steps around the house while he was getting ready for bed, he immediately knew it wasn’t his parents.
Alarms blasted in his mind, a feeling in the pit of his stomach telling him to hide. 
Not knowing what else to do, he took his plushie and his button and immediately hid in the closet, burying himself under a pile of clothes. 
His mind was racing between all the people he knew, thinking who may be, he could hear them coming down the hall, but he didn’t recognize the steps. 
“Where the hell is that kid?” He heard it was a man, voice deep, and he was looking for him.
Without a doubt, he pressed the button, which thankfully didn’t make any sounds, but it did have a blinking blue light. 
It was a matter of time. He knew that now he only had to stay hidden until his dads got here. They will get here as soon as they can, Jotaro just had to wait.
He concentrated on keeping an ear out for whoever was outside. He was checking down the hall, opening the doors to the rooms. The closer he got, the harder it was for Jotaro to focus with the loud thumping of his heart against his chest. He tried his best to focus, any information he could get about the enemy was an advantage to him. 
Taking a deep breath, he tried to listen again, still clutching the button close to his chest. His parents will come for him. His parents are gonna save him. He just had to hang on. 
His stomach dropped when he heard the door of his room open. 
By pure instinct, his ears dropped and he curled into himself in the pile of clothes that thankfully covered him completely, trying his damn best to not move a muscle. 
The steps were still heavy, but the man didn’t talk. 
The door of his closet was closed, but he couldn’t even dare to open his eyes. He was shaking and crying. Not wanting to give away his hiding spot. He just had to hold on. 
“Here you are” 
He only felt one big hand grabbing him by the arm and yanking him out of his hiding spot. 
-----------------------------------
“No!” Usagi banged his hand on the bubble. Angry tears formed in his eyes. “Stay away from him!” 
Lieutenant only laughed in their faces. 
“You’re dead.” Leo’s voice was cold with that promise. “You won’t get away with this” 
Before the Lieutenant could even start his sentence, Leo felt the rumble of his little brother's ninpo. The chains, usually reserved for extreme circumstances, as it drains his little brother’s vital energy if he passes his limit. It wraps around each of the bubbles, bursting them in a matter of seconds. Foot Lieutenant already making an escape portal.
Leo was gonna throw himself against Lieutenant. They couldn’t let him go. He was immediately stopped by a chain wrapped around his wrist. Ready to snap at his brother to let him go. 
“Leo! We don’t have time!” Mikey’s worried look was enough to dissipate the anger into pure fear. Jotaro. 
Looking around, his family was also stopped by Mikey’s chains and the Lieutenant was crossing his escape portal. 
With one more furious look, he swung his sword, making a big portal that immediately swallowed all of them, dropping them in front of his house. 
“DADDY! PAPA!” 
The image in front of him made him freeze.
The brute was creating an escape portal while holding his son by the ears. His eyes filled with fear and crying as he reached an arm towards them. 
“JOTARO!” He screamed out of instinct, already running towards them with his husband by his side. 
The escape portal was done and Brute was one foot in it, they wouldn’t make it in time. 
No, no, no, no, no, NO, NO- 
Just when he thought that he would get his son taken from them. Something exploded. 
A strong light blinded them, a force strong enough to stop them. Just managing to hear a painful scream from Brute. 
Looking up from where they were, Leo managed to see Jotaro’s spots around his eyes glow. It was a strong blue that reminded him of his own. Being able to feel that same sensation that he had for all his brother’s and sister’s ninpo, the difference being that it was a very, very strong energy coming from his own son. It was Jotaro’s ninpo. 
The energy seemed to manifest as electricity. As it was enough to burn Brute’s hand to the point that it forced him to let go of Jotaro. 
As soon as he saw the opportunity, he ran. Mikey’s chains immediately grabbed Brute and threw him a good 10 meters away from them as the escape portal closed. 
“We got him, Leo!” Raph yelled as he ran with Mikey towards Brute. Letting him focus on Jotaro. 
Usagi immediately extended his arms to grab him. But the same electricity as before was still coming out of the child, not letting him even touch Jotaro without electrocuting himself. 
“...Ugh… d-dad- AH!” Jotaro cried, and Leo could easily see the small electrical burns starting to form around his little arms and legs. 
“Jotaro! Donnie what’s going on?!” He immediately asked his twin as he was looking at Jotaro, goggles down. 
“I-It’s his mystic energy! It’s responding to the high stress and panic and is going off the charts!” He quickly explained. 
It was like Mikey’s. By now they all knew that mystic energy, especially their ninpo’s, responded to their emotions. Jotaro needed to calm down. 
“Jojo, baby, look at me.” Usagi reached the same conclusion as he did, slowly sitting in front of Jotaro and trying to remain as calm as he could. If Jotaro saw them panic, he would panic even more. 
Jotaro lifted his head, obviously hurting from the mystic powers and still scared out of his mind. 
“I need you to breathe with me, alright? You’re safe love, we got you.” The voice of his husband was calm, even if his eyes teared up from seeing their son like that.  
He followed Usagi’s lead and sat down beside him, giving Jojo a small smile, also feeling the small knot form in his throat at the heartbreaking sight. 
“You did good buddy, you did amazing today. It will go away, I promise but I need you to breathe.” Both he and Usagi started to guide Jotaro. Who even in his panic, slowly started to follow them. 
As Jotaro worked on slowing his breath, the glow on his spots started to fade. 
Already desperate, he took off his arm, which had the chance of short-circuiting and he offered his hand to Jotaro. 
His own ninpo had a small touch of electricity that he always felt, especially when he teleported from one sword to another. Donnie had confirmed it years back as they always heard a buzz when he teleported near them and got curious. So he knew his body had certain resistance to it. 
He also couldn’t stand seeing his son suffer for another second and not being able to comfort him. 
Jotaro slowly reached towards Leo, but flinched back seeing as the electricity that came from himself could hurt his dad. 
“Hey, hey, it’s okay Jojo. You’re not gonna hurt me, nene, I promise.” He said quietly, not looking to make the child go into a panic again. 
Looking more sure at Leo’s words, he took his hand. Getting close and immediately wrapped his arms around him. 
It was much stronger than his own ninpo for sure. But he could handle it. He would handle anything for him. Not hesitating a second before wrapping his own arm around the child. 
“You’re okay, You’re okay.” He immediately started to whisper, rocking calmly back and forth. 
The electricity faded with every deep breath Jotaro took, feeling safer in his dad’s arms. It was probably still more than Usagi could handle, but he didn’t seem to care as he leaned his head on Leo’s shoulder and started to slowly run his hand through the child’s head. Quietly singing the Japanese lullaby that he sang to Jotaro since he was a baby. 
This seemed to do the trick, as the glow faded from Jojo’s face and he fell asleep in his dad’s arms. His ninpo finally calmed down. 
Both he and Usagi sighed in relief and stood up. From what he could see, Jotaro had small 1st-degree electrical burns on his arms and legs, the worst looking ones being around his forearms and hands. But none of them were reaching 2nd degree, which was good. 
Usagi definitely had a couple on his hand. But they were okay. Wounds could be treated when they were safe. The most important thing was that Jotaro was with them. 
He looked Usagi in the eyes, immediately noticing the silent request on them, and carefully passed him their still-sleeping child. Who he hugged close. 
He turned to his brothers who were waiting a couple of feet from them. 
But Brute wasn’t there. 
“Where is he?” His voice was tense. 
“Mikey had him, but the mystic bubble appeared around him and before he could pop it, Brute was gone.” Raph quickly explained, his voice letting out the same frustration he felt. 
“I’ll talk to Draxum first thing in the morning tomorrow about those bubbles. I had to use the stored energy that I had on some crystals, but I basically emptied them out just to pop my own bubble.” Mikey said, equally as frustrated “I never saw this before, but we’ll take care of it.” 
He forced himself to take a deep breath, they’ll take care of the foot later. 
“Is Jojo okay?” Mikey asked, his eyes concerned as he watched the Jotaro sleep on Usagi’s arms. 
“It was his own ninpo, it must have activated because of the high stress of the situation. It’s very, very powerful” Donnie said, laying the facts in front of them. 
Whoever didn’t know him would say he sounded emotionless. But he knew better. Donnie was just as concerned as the rest of them and was probably already thinking of a way to help Jotaro control his powers. 
“He’s okay, it looks like his body has a good natural resistance to it, but he still has some first-degree burns that I need to take a look at.” He said, before sighing again. “I think we’ll move to the lair for the time being.” 
“Not you assuming that I will let you back before improving your security system,” Donnie said, making him let out a small chuckle as he opened a portal to the lair. 
They let Usagi cross first with Jotaro and they followed behind. Making a beeline for the med bay as Donnie, Mikey, and Raph went to talk to Dad.
Jotaro was absolutely exhausted, managing to sleep through all the procedures of Leo taking care of his injuries. Probably helped that he was still in Usagi’s arms, the sweet lullaby being the only thing filling the silence of the med bay. 
It wasn’t until they were both laying down on the bed of Leo’s old room, which had been modified years ago to fit the three of them. Jotaro now sleeping soundly between the two of them, Usagi looked at him with a look that promised revenge.  
“They’re going to pay for this.” He whispered to him, as he nodded. 
“We’ll find them ‘Sagi, I promise.” We cupped Usagi’s cheek, who sighed and finally seemed to relax, as he hugged Jotaro to his chest and snuggled closer to him. 
It wasn’t long until he noticed that his husband fell asleep. As he stared at the wall with one thought in his mind. 
He was never going to allow something like this to happen to his family again. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA SCENE 
After Usagi fell asleep, their son in his arms, he quietly got up and went to his twin’s lab, knowing for sure that he was awake. 
The events of the night before came back to him, anger and frustration rising in his chest. His son was almost kidnapped in front of his eyes. If it wasn’t for Jotaro’s ninpo, he didn’t know if he was going to make it in time. He never wanted to see that look of pure pain and fear that he saw in his husband’s eyes while he held their son, who was hurt by his own ninpo. 
The image of Brute holding his son by his ears was clear in his mind when he made it to the door of the lab. 
The doors opened for him, and his twin sitting in his chair turned back to him. 
He quietly walked until he was standing beside Donnie. 
“You’re looking for them?” Leo asked, his voice serious and tense.
“Right now brother, you’ll be the first to know when I find them” His twin's tone matched his own. “This is not happening again. I’m also working on a better security system for your house.” 
“Thanks, Don, let me know when you have any leads.” He stayed silent for a second “We’re finishing this, we should’ve done this the moment the invasion ended” 
“Doesn’t matter, we’re finishing it now. I have weapons with their names written on them.” Donnie’s voice was angry and cold.
Donnie remembers the panic and pure anger he felt when Foot Lieutenant asked his brother about Jotaro. His nephew. His family. 
Those fuckers won’t see another day if he has a say in it. 
“Good,” Leo said coldly.
Donnie couldn’t imagine how his brother felt after this. But what he was sure of is that, as usual, Leo and he were on the same page. 
Mikey had gone to the kitchen for a midnight snack, not being able to sleep. 
He noticed Leo go into Donnie’s lab. 
Just hearing a bit of their conversation was enough to know what the twins were planning. 
Mikey turned his back and went back to bed. He hoped the twins had fun.

relationship(s): 2012 Donnie x reader
reader type: chubby, pear shaped, GN human reader
"rn the only thing i can think of is (insert turtle, and as you know preferably donnie) introducing chubby!gn s/o to the rest of his fam. and to make it interesting someone makes a comment on body type, maybe comparing it to (past crush/ s/o. {Like april}) and you take it from there. me and angst>> ur writing >> you>> psh i got off topic im sorry im js happy.
I FORGOT TO SAY. 2012 if you don't mindd, but still whatever you feel like writing"
TYSM TO @puunk FOR REQUESTING <3
sorry it's kinda short!!
Nerves had plagued you all day, and continued to plague you as you prepared to meet your boyfriend's family. This wouldn't be the most.. normal meeting ever, considering your boyfriend was a mutated turtle. You opted on reflection on the day the two of you met rather than the nerves making you nauseous.
He'd been on a 'solo patrol' when you met him. (he was totally lying, he snuck out, you knew this) He'd been a little too loud on the roof of your apartment building, which sucked cause he was stomping around and yelling right above your apartment. eventually you made you way up the fire escape to tell at whoever it was, and instead found him pacing and ranting. over time he become more comfortable with coming back to the roof on his 'solo patrol's and eventually hanging out inside. 'You know, getting the apartment with the window facing into the alley wasn't such a bad idea after all.'
The reminiscence didn't last wrong before a knock on said window draws you from your thoughts. You double checked you were fully ready before opening the window, nerves coming back full force only to melt away at the sight of him.
Donatello stood outside on your balcony, if you could call it that, with a gentle smile on his face. when you pulled the window up a little, he slipped his hand under and pushed it the rest of the way up. curse this building and their heavy ass windows!
"Hey, lo-" you started, cut off by a quick kiss.
"Hi dear," a lovestruck grin took the place of the soft smile, "you look stunning."
"awwwwwww shut up!" The words should've hurt and yet they were full of love, adoration and the laughter of two people in love.
After a few minutes of just standing together, forehead to forehead, you excused yourself and ran to turn off any lights you'd forgotten and snag your bag. Your jeans fit comfortably and the flowy black shirt felt perfect for the occasion. After all, you didn't wanna overdo it when your boyfriend admitted they weren't the fanciest of families.
Yeah.. when the two of you showed up you felt a little too informal when compared to the rest of them. it wasn't the outfit, oh no! they was fine, casual enough to blend in but formal enough to not look 'sloppy'. but the mannerisms? ugh.
Everyone did a traditional Japanese blessing before dinner, and you were SO lost the entire time. the best you could do was glance over and Donnie and mimic his pose and hope you were doing it right. Eventually, when Dinner was over, you and Raph agreed to doing the dishes. Somehow, the two of you had clicked and were fast friends.
Small talk and little jabs passed throughout doing the dishes, but a aggravated and crescendo-ing conversation just in the living room, a hundred or so feet away, caught your attention. The both of you went silent, and managed to catch the climax of the altercation.
".. shut UP, LEO! what the FUCK!"
"I'm just SAYING! i thought you would've gone for someone who looked more like April, not THEM!"
Youch.. maybe you'd misheard? You turned to look at RAPH to gauge his reaction, and based on the shock and rage on his face you could tell you hadn't misheard at all.
You'd heard enough to know you weren't wanted, so you patted Raph on the shoulder and thanked him for spending time with you, grabbed your bag, and made to leave the way you came.
The yelling got louder, Raph joining in now, as you hopped over the turnstile and turned right, back towards the manhole that would put you out a few blocks from your apartment.
You couldn't hear it anymore, and had no clue whatsoever, but the yelling finally stopped. Donnie was frantically searching for you. where'd you go??
By the time you were settled on the couch in comfy pyjamas, trying to bottle everything up and shove it down to deal with later, a knock came at your window.
You opted to ignore it and turned up the shitty horror movie even louder, but eventually arms wrapped around your shoulders as a face pressed into your hair from behind.
"I'm sorry love, i should've come sooner.."
Damn. how'd he get in? didn't you... ohhhh you'd forgotten to lock the window. Thank you, Dee, for reminding you to lock the window later.
"Baby.. you okay?" he tried to be gentle, tried to keep the situation calm and comforting for you. Two can play at that game.
"I'm fine. thanks." ...whoops. game over.
At that, Donnie moved around the edge of the couch before sitting next to you and holding your hand. You instinctively leaned into the touch, resting shoulder to shoulder.
The tears started to flow as the movie continued to play and your boyfriend started whispering sweet nothings. He gently scooped you up once he realized you were shaking, adjusting you in his hold before moving to your bedroom.
It was minutes before you could process, but your boyfriend had slid the two of you under the covers, and now you were laying half on top of him on your stomach while he rubbed your back. The tears started to slow and he continued to chirp and churr at you between comforting kisses.
"I'm sorry love, I'm so sorry.."
Silence fell over the two of you again, minus your occasional sniffle or hiccup and his chirps. Eventually you doze off and he pulls his phone out, shooting a text to his family.
D: Won't be home tonight, roped into cuddles
R: BAHAHAHAHA TAKE THAT LOVERBOY!
R: I'm taking your pizza since your gone.
M: RUDE! I WANTED THAT
L: Okay. please tell them I'm sorry.
D: already did
D: goodnight guys
R: night
M: nighty night!!
L: Goodnight. and for the love of god be home before sunrise.
D: no promises :P
Donnie shut his phone off and settled in, falling asleep not long after you.
The noises of life in New York continued outside, but in the night, safe and warm, two lovers were oblivious to it all.
