Max Verstappen

It all started with a few innocent scrolls on TikTok—girls pranking their boyfriends left and right—and you figured, why not? Max had just handed you his card to go grab a few things from the store, trusting you like he always did. That’s when the perfect plan popped into your mind.

"Call me if you need me," he said casually, completely unaware. You hummed in response, leaned over to kiss his cheek, and slipped out of the car with a little too much pep in your step.

Max leaned back in the driver’s seat, letting the car sit idle in the parking spot. At first, he thought nothing of your delay. He assumed you were just stuck in a long line. Meanwhile, inside, you were hunched over a cart, hiding your giggles behind your hand as you rehearsed the prank in your head.

Eventually, you managed to compose yourself, strolled out with your bags in hand, and tossed them into the back seat before slipping into your place beside him. You buckled up, eyes wide with innocent mischief.

"The man I ran into was really nice—he paid for everything," you said smoothly.

Max turned toward you, brow already furrowing. "The man?" he echoed, confused. "What are you talking about, lieverd?"

You nodded, playing it cool. "Yeah, he said I was pretty and that I shouldn’t have to pay on my own, so...he paid for everything."

Max leaned toward you, staring like he was trying to read your soul. "You weren’t paying on your own? That was literally my card."

"Yeah," you shrugged, holding it out to him. "But he insisted."

He took the card from your hand, jaw tightening slightly. "How old was this guy?"

You pretended to think, dragging out the moment. "Hmm… around your age, I guess?"

Max scoffed. "And he just—what—started complimenting you and offered to pay? Just like that?"

You fought the urge to burst into laughter. "He wasn’t hitting on me," you said, smiling just a little too much.

"He called you pretty," Max shot back, frowning. "And don’t get me wrong—you are—but still. He clearly meant what he said. That’s not casual."

You just nodded solemnly, letting the tension hang in the air a second longer before he abruptly unbuckled. "Alright, I’m going back inside to find this guy."

You grabbed his arm, laughter spilling out now. "Max, wait—"

"No, seriously," he huffed. "He thinks you’re single or something. Like he has a shot. I can afford to fly you to Monaco, let you live in my house, be spoiled every day of your life—what can he offer you?"

You were full-on laughing now, tears threatening to sting your eyes. "Baby, I was pranking you. There was no guy. I used your card like you said."

Max froze, blinking at you. Slowly, his stern expression melted into something softer, almost amused.

"You’re evil," he muttered, shaking his head. Then he let out a quiet laugh of his own. "Don’t joke like that, lieverd. You know I don’t care if people think you’re pretty—but if someone’s actually hitting on you? No. Absolutely not."

You leaned over, kissing his cheek. "Look at you, all protective and jealous."

"You nearly scared me to death, lieverd,"

Charles Leclerc

Charles was home, lounging on the couch with Leo curled up beside him, the little dog resting his chin on Charles' leg like the most loyal companion. The TV played softly in the background, a comforting buzz. Before you left, Charles had handed you his card with a smile, telling you to get whatever you were craving for dinner tonight. But instead of heading straight home after shopping, you were too busy plotting your latest prank—one inspired by a few too many TikToks.

"I'm home!" you called out as you stepped inside. At once, Leo perked up, leaping from the couch and padding over to greet you with his tail wagging wildly.

Charles looked over his shoulder. "I was starting to worry," he said, standing up. "You took longer than usual."

You smiled innocently, setting your keys down and slipping off your shoes. After leaning in to kiss his cheek, you dropped the first line. "Sorry, this guy paid for everything and we just got caught up in conversation."

Charles froze, staring at you like you'd just said the most absurd thing he’d ever heard. “Je t’ai donné ma carte ?” he asked, blinking slowly.

You hummed. "I know, but he was really sweet. Said I shouldn’t worry my pretty little head about paying. He covered it."

Charles just stared for a moment before slowly shaking his head. “That’s unbelievable. People are going to assume you're dating him.”

You fought back a grin, holding it in with all your strength. "No one’s going to think that but you, Charles."

“Sure, sure,” he muttered, eyes narrowing as he turned on his heel and headed toward the kitchen. You followed him, bags in hand.

"Tu fais la moue ?" you teased once inside, catching a glimpse of his unmistakably pouty expression.

Charles didn’t even try to hide it. He just stared at you, arms crossed like a sulking prince. “I treat you well. We live in Monaco. We have Leo,” he gestured around, like the dog was part of his romantic résumé. “I drive in F1—and you're letting some random guy hit on you, baby?”

You couldn’t help it anymore. You broke, laughing as you set the bags on the counter. “I was just messing with you, Charles. There was no guy. I used your card—like I was supposed to.”

He let out a long sigh, his head dropping back slightly. “Don’t scare me like that, woman. I thought some random was actually going to take you away from me.”

You walked up to him, wrapping your arms around his waist. “I’m with you, Charles. Why would some random have me?”

He gave a tiny shrug, still sulking. “You never know.”

You patted his back playfully. “I got you good,” you said through a soft laugh. Leo barked at your feet as if to agree, his tail wagging like he, too, was in on the joke.

Charles looked down at the dog, then at you, his pout slowly morphing into a smirk

“Yeah, well—just wait, Y/N. One day, I’ll get you back.”

Lewis Hamilton

You and Lewis had been shopping together most of the day, casually wandering the aisles like the soft domestic duo you were. At some point, Lewis veered off toward the pet section to get Roscoe a few new treats and maybe a fresh toy or two, promising to meet you up front when he was done. You nodded sweetly and went your own way—though behind that innocent look, you were plotting. And not just any plan: a prank. A classic, lighthearted trap for your sweet, loving, “just tell me what you need and I’ll buy it” boyfriend.

After grabbing everything you came for, you paid for your cart using your own money, then waited with the most innocent look you could muster. Lewis eventually showed up, a plush dog bed under one arm and a pack of Roscoe’s favorite snacks in the other.

"You already paid for your stuff?" he asked, dropping the items onto the counter.

You nodded, slipping into character. "No actually… this really nice guy offered to pay. Said I looked beautiful today, and he didn’t want me lifting a finger."

Lewis blinked. “He what?”

"He paid for me," you repeated with a shrug, biting the inside of your cheek to keep from smiling. "Said it was his pleasure. Real gentleman type."

Lewis squinted at you like you just told him someone insulted Roscoe. "Baby… that man was flirting with you."

You shook your head, playing dumb. “No, he was just being nice.”

“Right. ‘Just being nice,’” Lewis echoed, making air quotes with a look of complete disbelief. “Because men randomly pay for groceries out of the kindness of their hearts and not at all to shoot their shot with a gorgeous woman.”

You kept your poker face as he grabbed the shopping bags and kept going. “I don’t see myself out here buying random women’s almond milk and cucumbers just to be nice. That’s a move.”

You tried to hide your smirk. “You sound a little… jealous.”

Lewis narrowed his eyes. “I’m not jealous. I’m logical. Man sees a beautiful woman, she’s alone, he tries his luck with his wallet. Basic flirting algorithm.”

“I mean, it worked. He was really sweet.”

That did it.

Lewis ran a hand down his face and let out a long sigh. “Look, it’s great someone thinks you’re hot enough to swipe a card for—but you know I’m right here. You never have to let some man pay for you when your boyfriend drives for a living. Just sayin’.”

You watched him ramble with a barely contained laugh as he kept going.

“I mean, come on, I spoil you for a reason. And now some stranger thinks he can step in with a grocery run? That’s his whole move?”

Finally, you couldn’t take it anymore. You burst into laughter, your body shaking as you leaned into the cart. “Lewis. Babe. It was a prank. I paid for everything. No man, no flirting, no almond milk Casanova.”

He blinked, pausing mid-rant. “Wait… you’re serious?”

“I am. Gotcha.”

He took a breath like someone who’d just been pulled from open water. “I’m forty, woman. You can’t play with my blood pressure like that.”

You grinned. “Alright, old man.”

Lewis straightened up immediately. “I am not an old man.”

“You didn’t even catch on to the prank, grandpa.”

He narrowed his eyes, his lips tugging into a smirk. “Forty doesn’t make me old. It makes me wise. And this wise man now knows he’s being pranked in public.”

You patted his back “Don’t worry, baby. I’ll go easy on you next time.”

Lewis gave a low chuckle, wagging a finger at you.

“No, no. You started something. A prank war is officially declared. So… just be prepared.”

Lando Norris

When it came to you and Lando, pranks weren’t just an occasional thing—they were a lifestyle. The relationship came with love, laughter, and a mild risk of heart attacks. Like the time he woke you up at 3AM with a horror mask and you nearly karate-kicked him into next week. Or when you served him a fish smoothie and he banned you from the blender for a month. Your TikTok followers? Obsessed. They lived for every prank war update, every meltdown, every squeal of revenge.

So when you got tagged in a new viral prank trend, it was practically a public request to strike again. You didn’t hesitate. The phone was propped up, camera rolling discreetly, and you were all set. Lando, of course, had no clue what was coming.

You heard the door open and quickly pretended to be busy with prep in the kitchen. He walked in, hoodie slightly damp from the gym, cheeks flushed from the workout. “Smells good,” he said, setting down the grocery bag before leaning in for a soft kiss. “Took me forever to find that stupid oat cream you like.”

You smiled sweetly. “Oh, you didn’t have to. I ended up sending that list to Joshua earlier, and he already grabbed everything for me. Paid for it too. Said, and I quote, ‘anything for the pretty lady.’ Sweet, huh?”

Lando froze, hand still half-in the bag. “Joshua?”

“Mm-hmm,” you nodded, biting your inner cheek.

He blinked. “As in your friend Joshua? The one who wears too much cologne and tried to teach me how to salsa at that dinner party?”

You tilted your head. “Yeah, he insisted.”

Lando scoffed, standing up straighter. “I literally sweat through my hoodie at the gym, fought for a parking spot, went to four aisles for oat cream—and you let another man, one who smells like a Hugo Boss sample sale, buy your groceries?”

You struggled to keep a straight face. “He was being nice.”

“Oh, nice? Nice?! That’s the international signal for flirting. What’s next, is he gonna tuck you into bed and read you poetry? Babe, if I see him handing you a spoon while you're cooking, I might lose it.”

“Are you jealous?”

“I’m insulted. I’m offended. I’m—” He placed a hand over his chest. “—deeply betrayed. I mean, I pay rent! I drive race cars for a living! I went out to get snacks for your cravings at 4AM one time! And now I’m just… footnote boyfriend?”

You snorted. “You’re so dramatic.”

He gasped. “Go ask Joshua to massage your feet tonight then. My spa services are officially retired. Hope he has peppermint oil.”

At that point, you burst into laughter, pointing toward the camera recording from the corner. Lando followed your gaze, groaned, and dragged a hand down his face. “You little gremlin,” he muttered. “Of course it’s a prank. Of course.”

“Aww, you love me.”

“I do. Too much. Which is why you’re lucky you’re cute, because anyone else trying this would be blocked and reported.”

You leaned up, kissing his jaw gently. “You’re my favorite victim.”

He smirked. “And you’re my favorite menace. But just know—this war? It’s not over. I know you're scared of some bugs and some...other things. I’ve got Oscar on speed dial.”

Your eyes widened. “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Oh, I will. I already know where you hide your slippers.”

“LANDO NORRIS!” you shrieked as he backed into the hallway, giggling like the absolute child he was.

“Love you!” he called over his shoulder.

“Calling Oscar now! Let’s ruin her life!”

Carlos Sainz

Carlos and you had been on the road for way too long, the kind of drive where you’ve already debated three podcast topics, played the same five songs on repeat, and shared half a bag of chips in silence. You were coming back from a much-needed trip—two full weeks away from the chaos of daily life. But now, you were finally heading home. And honestly? You were ready.

Still, you needed one last laugh before real life kicked back in. So, naturally, you plotted a prank.

You’d been riding like a queen in the passenger seat the whole time—pillow tucked under your head, cozy in the Christmas blanket Carlos had gotten you last year, doing everything but offering to drive. So when Carlos offered to go into the store to grab some snacks, you stopped him with a sweet smile and a kiss to his cheek. “I’ll go,” you insisted, taking his card from his hand.

He smirked. “Okay, but bring chips. Whatever you pick, I’ll eat it, mi amor.”

Inside, you grabbed everything you both liked—chips, drinks, something sweet. But instead of swiping his card, you paid with yours. And as you made your way back to the car, the plan was already in motion.

Sliding into the passenger seat, you handed him his card back with a calm smile. “You know,” you said casually, “the cashier was really nice. Paid for everything himself. Said he’d just take it out of his paycheck. Also told me my shirt looked cute.”

Carlos stared at you. “Wait—my shirt? That’s literally mine, you’re wearing my clothes.”

“Yeah, but he liked it,” you said with a shrug. “Said it brought out my eyes.”

Carlos blinked at you like he’d just short-circuited. “Oh my god.”

You bit your lip, trying to hide your laugh.

“Mi amor, what do you mean some random cashier paid for your snacks and flirted with you while you were wearing my clothes? Do I look like I’m sharing?”

You tried to keep a straight face as he gestured wildly at the snack bag like it had betrayed him. “I don’t even want these anymore. I can’t eat the chips. They’ve been... compromised.”

“Carlos—”

“No, seriously. You have a ring on your finger! Granted, it’s a promise ring, but still, the promise is loud and clear! I was gone for five minutes and I already lost you to a gas station Romeo?”

That was it. You burst out laughing, your head thrown back as tears formed in your eyes.

He narrowed his gaze, suspicious. “Wait. No. Don’t tell me...”

Still giggling, you nodded. “It’s a prank. I paid with my card.”

He groaned and started the engine again, shaking his head. “You almost gave me a heart attack, mi vida.”

You wiped your eyes, still giggling. “I have to tell Charles about this. He’s going to love it.”

Carlos turned, deadpan. “Do not tell Charles. I swear, if that man starts calling me Gas Station Cuckold or something—”

“You’re being dramatic!”

“I’m being real!” he exclaimed. “That was emotional damage.”

You leaned over and kissed his cheek. “You love me.”

He sighed. “Way too much. And that’s exactly the problem.”

You laughed again as he muttered under his breath, pulling back onto the road. “Just know...this isn’t over. I’ve got something planned. Something evil.”

“Oh yeah?” you smirked.

He grinned. “Just wait till you wake up to find glitter in your shampoo.”

“CARLOS!”

“Love you!”

Fernando Alonso

You and Fernando had only recently tied the knot — rings still shining, wedding playlists still stuck in your heads. The honeymoon? Cut short by his ever-demanding racing schedule. But to make up for it (and to keep his guilt in check), Fernando had surprised you with a follow-up getaway, your choice of destination. Romantic, thoughtful… and, as you decided, the perfect setting to prank your new husband.

The internet had become obsessed with your marriage — overnight, you'd gone from “regular girl with decent taste in sunglasses” to “Fernando Alonso’s wife who posts adorable reels.” So when fans started tagging you in prank challenges, you figured: why not give the people what they want?

Camera hidden. Kitchen smelling like garlic and glory. Tomatoes being sliced with intention. You were ready.

Fernando walked into the vacation home and immediately lit up. “Huele bien,” he smiled, shrugging off his jacket.

“Mhm,” you hummed, sliding the tomatoes into the pot. “Took me a minute to get it all, though. I accidentally brought the wrong card with me to the store.”

He frowned immediately, concerned. “You should’ve called me, mi amor. I would’ve paid—”

“No need. A very sweet guy at the store paid for me. Said he didn’t want a pretty girl like me to struggle.”

The air stilled. Fernando blinked. Once. Twice.

“I’m sorry, what?” he said slowly.

You kept stirring the pot, tone completely casual. “Yeah, he just insisted. Said it was no trouble. Even complimented my top. Super nice guy.”

Fernando was now planted in place like he’d just been hit with a yellow flag mid-race.

“So... some stranger,” he started, arms crossing, “paid for your groceries. Complimented you. And you just… thanked him and left?”

“Yep.”

“You didn’t say, ‘Oh, I’m married to Fernando Alonso, two-time world champion, racing legend, heartthrob since 2001’?”

You blinked innocently. “Didn’t think it was necessary.”

Fernando threw his hands up. “Necessary?! That ring I gave you is the size of a small island. It has its own timezone. You could signal planes with it.”

You bit back a grin as he kept spiraling. “And this guy? Just decided to be your white knight? At the produce section?! He sees you picking tomatoes and thinks, ‘Yes, this damsel needs saving’?”

You nodded, trying so hard not to laugh. “Pretty much.”

He started pacing. “No. No, no, no. See, I make you feel better when you’re down. I buy you things. I compliment you. I signed up for that role! This guy? He’s just freelancing emotional support. I should find him.”

You turned, finally pointing toward the fruit bowl hiding your phone. “Or... you could relax. Because you’ve been pranked.”

Fernando froze. “You’re joking.”

You just smiled.

He leaned in, spotting the camera, then groaned dramatically. “Oh my god. I gave a full speech. I even included my racing credentials.”

“And it was a very passionate monologue,” you teased.

He stared at you, narrowing his eyes. “You’re evil.”

“Maybe. But I’m your evil.”

He shook his head, muttering something in Spanish before pausing. “Also… be honest with me. Was I really hot in the early 2000s?”

Your head snapped up. “Fernando. You were unfairly hot in the 2000s. Like, ‘could’ve ruined my life if we’d met back then’ hot. The hair? The fire? The attitude? I would've fallen hard.”

He raised a brow, trying not to look too pleased. “Gracias, mi vida. Very sweet of you.”

Then he pointed at you, smug returning full force. “But don’t think flattery will save you. You will be pranked back. And when it happens? You’ll regret ever stirring that tomato sauce.”

You giggled, leaning in to kiss his cheek. “You’re adorable when you’re dramatic.”

He smirked, grabbing a spoon and tasting the pasta. “I was adorable in the 2000s too.”

You rolled your eyes. “I’m going to post this entire thing.”

“I know,” he sighed.

“Just tag me in it — and put ‘Oscar-worthy performance’ in the caption.”

✧༺♡༻∞

"what about this one?" percy grabs a plain white shirt and holds it up for annabeth to see, she groans. she wasn't keeping count, but she was pretty sure that was about the 30th shirt he had shown her.

"percy i thought we agreed on the black one like twenty minutes ago!", at her answer, percy drops his arms in defeat and lets himself fall back on his back. he pushes his hair out of his face before covering it with his hands and groaning. annabeth rolls her eyes at the sight, he could be so dramatic.

"yeah yeah, you're right. we did! i'm just so fucking nervous", he admits and peaks through his fingers to see his friends reaction.

"and that's completely normal, but you shouldn't be! it's all going to be fine. she for sure likes you back", annabeth reassures him.

"how can you be so sure though?", percy is practically losing his mind. he's been to literal tartarus, but this might very well be the most scared he's ever been.

"daughter of athena, i know stuff", she answers grinning. "look, even if you decide to be a coward today, you can still just have a great evening with her, seaweed brain."

percy's eyes widen at her comment and he grabs one of the shirts on the floor to throw it at annabeth, who laughs at his miserable attempt to hit her when the shirt lands only a few inches away from his feet. 

"excuse me?!", he yells out, grabbing the shirt and throwing it at her again. this time he throws it with more force so it actually reaches her. 

"what? if you don't hurry up the girl of your dreams is probably going to grow a pair and ask you out before you do!", she adds, laughing even harder at his shocked expression.

"she's not—", he starts, raising a finger in a way to correct her before stopping himself and furrowing his brows. "yeah no, she totally is", he admits in defeat, his frown turning into a little more of a lovesick expression.

annabeth stops laughing and just shrugs her shoulders, "hmm sure!". she has learned not to engage with any too positive comments about you because percy could very easily spiral into an endless rant about you and how perfect you are.

his whole crush-dilemma had been bearable for the first few years before he'd actually openly talk about it to her. that had changed about a year ago when they finally returned from their journey on the argo 2. he had apparently felt a little out of control of his own life and wanted to set some goals to regain that control. well, there really wasn't anything else on his to-do list besides confessing to you and he was still adamantly working on that one. 

"remind me, why exactly are we being late on purpose?", she changes the topic, genuinely wondering what was going through his head when he decided that being 2 hours late would be a good thing. she hadn't questioned it earlier though, confident that you were whipped enough to be unbothered as long as percy was there.

"leo told me it's good to be 'fashionably late'. something about seeming more desirable or something...", he answers, shrugging his shoulders before changing into the black shirt they had decided on earlier. 

annabeth's jaw drops at his answer. she stares at him, waiting for him to register the words that just came out of his own mouth, but nothing happens."what?! and you think his advice is any good?"

as percy's checking himself out in the mirror, he notices annabeth's face. a horrible realization finally dawns upon him. now why would he take leo's advice on anything? "oh gods. we should leave, shouldn't we?"

"yeah. probably. you're such an idiot sometimes!"

basically everything goes wrong on their way to your party, it's a wonder they're not also attacked by various monsters. they end up having to walk all the way to you and when they finally arrive 45 minutes later, percy's nerves go crazy.

he's stood right in front of your door where he can hear the music through the walls. the thought of going in there and having a good night with you seems pleasant at first until he remembers his goal for tonight. that's when he freezes.

annabeth obviously notices the way his body tenses up, but she's not going to let him give up now; especially after he made her walk through the entire city to get here. 

"c'mon percy, you got this!", she smiles at him, even going as far as putting a supportive hand on his shoulder. his expression turns into a nervous frown, his jaw clenched, eyes still locked on your front door. "i don't know..."

this little game of will-he, won't-he goes on for a good 15 minutes until annabeth's fed up with him. she grabs his hand and forces him inside the apartment, not even giving him a chance to resist. 

"annab-- i'm going to kill you!", he lets out a nervous chuckle, eyes immediately looking for you. she laughs at his empty threat, telling him she'd like to see him try, but when he can't hear her because of the loud music, she leans closer to his ear and repeats what she said. percy laughs as well, lifting his gaze again to keep looking for you. 

"have you seen y/n yet?", he asks her, leaning over her shoulder from behind to get closer to her ear. at her negative response, he sighs and helps his friend strip out of her jacket. 

that's when his eyes finally find yours in the crowd. his heart skips a beat at the sight out you. 

the strobe lights make it hard for him to see you properly, but the bit he can see looks literally breathtaking. your hair, your outfit and of course your face. he immediately takes off to get to you, determination ridding his mind of any doubt or fear he had. before he can really reach you, you storm off. they're subtle, but percy notices the tears in your eyes.

after freezing for a moment, confused by what just happened, he follows you. using more strength than really necessary to push past the dancing crowd. 

you don't really think, you just want to get away so you leave your apartment. sure, you could've gone to your room or something; there would've actually been a bunch of reasonable alternatives to the rooftop of your apartment complex, but you can't think right now. so that's where you let your feet lead you. 

percy is close enough behind you to barely see you leave the apartment and go up the stairs, so he grabs his jacket and follows. when he finally reaches the door that leads outside, he stops for a moment catching his breath. then he slowly opens it, scanning the roof until he finds you. 

you're standing with your back turned to him, looking out onto the city. your arms are hugging your body, it's a fresh night, but you don't mind the cold. it's less painful than the thought of your one sided crush on percy; and that one is oh so painful. 

tears are running down your face and you don't even care to quiet down your sobs, thinking no one was going to hear them anyway. percy's heart breaks at the sound.

he approaches you carefully, scared to make everything even worse. he does not know what's going on, but his heart yearns to help you. "n/n..."

you press your eyes shut. you didn't expect him to be behind you, but the way he uses your nickname ever so softly makes you want to throw up. as if that's not enough, you feel his hand hover over you shoulder. at that, you turn around, knowing you couldn't bare his touch.

his heart shatters at the sight of you. despite the dim lighting, he can clearly make out streaks of mascara on your cheeks. "talk to me, what happened?", percy tilts his head. despite his worry, he manages to form a small smile on his lips in hopes of making you feel a little better. "party looked fun from what i saw."

you huff. "glad you like my party, what a shame you missed the first three hours", percy can barely hear you when you mumble your words, but he does. and, surprise, his heart drops again. damn leo.

before he can come up with something to say, you huff again, this time shaking your head as well. "you know what, it doesn't matter. i really wanted to—", you have a hard time finding your words, not wanting to say anything wrong and ruin your chances for tonight, or with him. but then you remember; there are no more chances to ruin.

"i only threw this party for you, perce— percy. man, this is actually so damn embarassing. i threw this entire party to spend time with you and you— you're late. not only that, but you're also dating annabeth!", you throw your arms up in defeat. your voice is shaky while you talk, a few sobs escaping your lips between your words. 

percy is starstruck. why would you throw a party for him, it's not like he achieved anything vastly impressive in the last few weeks, right? and wait, what was that about him dating annabeth? "n/n what—"

"DON'T call me that, percy! i'm trying really hard to keep it together right now", you sob and wipe your tears. you're not keeping it together at all. "look, i'm happy for annabeth and you. really i am and i should have known you two were a thing."

but annabeth and him aren't a thing beyond being best friends. yeah sure they spend a bunch of time together, but why would you think they're dating?

"just leave me alone please", your voice is barely above a whisper, drained of energy to have this conversation right now. 

percy doesn't move at first. he keeps his eyes on your face and tries to figure out his next move. he is truly so confused right now, but he can't stand to see you like that. it's a brave move, but he takes a step towards you, closing most of the distance. your breath hitches at his move and you stiffen up, hoping he'll just disappear if you don't move. he doesn't leave though, he would never just leave you like that.

suddenly, you feel his hand on your cheek. you really wish you had the self-respect to push him away, to yell at him to leave, but you don't. instead, you melt into his touch. 

"why would you throw a party for me, y/n?", he asks softly, his thumb tracing your cheekbones, making it really hard for you to come up with any words. 

"doesn't matter anymore", you sob. percy immediately pulls you into a hug at your reaction. one of his arms wrapped around your torso, the other wraps around your shoulders so he can place his hand on your head to stroke your hair. why was he making this so hard on you?

in this position you cannot only feel the comforting warmth radiating off his body, but also the way he's shaking. you don't ask though.

"and why would you think i'm dating annabeth?", that's when you suddenly stop crying. what?

"what?", he chuckles at your wide eyes and moves his hand to wipe away some of your tears. on the outside, he was keeping his chill pretty well, on the inside though... this was the moment. there was no way out of this without telling you about his feelings and he was seriously considering just throwing himself off the roof. 

"i came here to tell you something. wait— not that i wouldn't have come— but like uhm. man with a mission, you get it", you can't help but smile a little at his awkwardness. the sight of your smile immediately calms him down, so he takes a deep breath and smiles back.

"i wanted to tell you about this uhm.. well, crush i have", he states, watching your eyes widen in shock. "on you, by the way!"

the world starts spinning around you. could be due to the amounts of alcohol you have consumed today, but you're pretty sure sobriety hit you like a brick when you saw percy and annabeth earlier. you take a little step back, "what?"

"i have a crush on you, y/n. well, i think crush undermines my feelings heavily. i'm actually crazy about you, have been for years", he chuckles awkwardly, scratching his neck. you on other hand... 

"there's no way...", you shake your head and let your mind wander back to every interaction you've ever had with percy. it's like you're reliving the past five years compressed into 5 seconds and that's when you realize what you were to blind to see before; he had always been completely whipped.

"is... that a problem?", he breaks the silence, heart about to explode from anxiety. you don't answer though, at least not verbally. instead, you basically throw yourself at him, wrapping your arms around his neck and press your lips onto him. his hands find your waist immediately as he doesn't waste a second to kiss you back. your lips find their flow as if they've never kissed someone else's. percy moves his hands from your waist to your face, the kiss getting wilder, demanding even.

you two make out until you have to gasps for air. lips swollen, cheeks flushed and eyes filled with adoration and love.

"so you liked me back the entire time?", percy answers your question with a simple nod, shit-eating grin plastered onto his face. "why did i have to throw this party then!", you groan, throwing your head back while simultaneously pulling him closer to you. 

he throws one of his hands up in surrender, not wanting to let go of you fully. "i'll take it as a compliment, no worries."

your eyes widen at his cockyness and you playfully hit his arm. "why would i worry? i'm asking why you didn't tell me sooner you idiot!"

"hmm...your idiot now though", he mumbles and dips his head into the curve of your neck to leave a few soft kisses. butterflies errupt in your stomach as you let him. "was scared you'd reject me."

you raise your eyebrows at him, pushing his head away from your shoulder so that he'd look at you. "you? scared? the greatest hero of our time spent years of his life too scared to confess his feelings to some girl?"

percy frowns, "not just some girl! a really pretty one", he chuckles and presses a kiss to your forehead. "matter of fact, most beautiful one i've ever seen." you roll your eyes, but can't hide the blush creeping onto your cheeks. he notices and places a soft kiss on each one. 

"so you're telling me you went on these crazy quests, saving the world from impending doom not once, but twice and you still weren't brave enough to tell me you like me?", he groans as you're clearly making fun of him, but he can't hide the smile that seems to be a new permanent feature now he knows you like him back.

"okay okay, i told you now, didn't i?", he continues kissing all over your face. he'd never be able to stop again. 

"don't know if you get all the credit for that one..."

"whatever you say, pretty girl", oh gods.

[getindumdums]

Ok so random thought. What if the rise turtles fed up with being treated as ‘odd’ by a couple of the other iterations, decided to pretend to be a ‘new’ iteration for a night. Just to see how’d they react.

Leo, wrapping his arms around his bros: “Say. I got an idea~. That’ll REALLY tell us what they think of us.”

*says idea*

Mikey grabs Donnie’s bandanna and wears it. “Ohhhh! I get to show off my psychology degree!” Bouncing on his heels.

*he will also be able to stretch this delusion on account that he knows how to weld and has helped Donnie make things.

“OH-HO HO!” Donnie grabs Raph’s bandanna excitedly, finger gun pose, “I’m gonna be the best RAPH ever!” Leans forward fists to his sides looking FERAL.

Leo grabs Mikey’s bandanna, posing, “Not bad~. I can make this work~.” Smiling coyly, eyes shut, sparkles.

*he will be Extra.

“Mmm… I don’t think Raph likes how the mask doesn’t cover my whole head.” Raph wearing Leo’s blue mask scratches his head as his brow furrow in concern.

Donnie waved his hand dismissively, “Don’t worry. I can make new adjusted ones for us.”

“Good! Cause I wanted my mask tails longer!” Leo called.

“We still have to look unrecognizable however.” Donnie typing on his wrist. “So maybe we should leave certain things. I —unfortunately— should forgo my eyebrows.”

Leo: “I still don’t know how you think you’re gonna pull off Raph! That voice is a dead-nerd give away!”

Donnie grabbed his chin, “Mmm… You may offer a fair point. Perhaps a ‘cool, silent bad boy’ type would fit me!” Grinning. “Practicing a deeper voice would help.”

His eyebrows perked up. “Raph should be fine as long as he stops speaking in the 3rd person.” Raph laughs nervously(?).

*Donnie will later be showing up a motorcycle and way too cool clothes.

“But what about Raph’s size?” Mikey leaned in worriedly

“Yeah what about my height?” Rafa repeated.

“Come to think of it. It is kinda dead-end give away.” Leo grabbed his chin.

“Hmm.” Donnie thought, “I could probably invent a shrink way, or something to temporarily change your build.”

*This may or may not go wrong later. Raph will still have his spiked shell. Possibly a much thinner build and tail (if we want) if we go this route.

*though it would be fun imagining them try to dress up Raph convincingly as his size. Maybe using Mikey’s craft skills. Other alternatives would be Donnie making a robot Raph speaks through. And a poorly constructed dummy Raph speaks for from behind a corner. Actually that robot might be a solid idea—

In the end they all look different enough, try speaking in (slightly) different voices boarding on bad.

?Mikey probably painted their skin to look darker/more consistent (more like Donnie’s blue-green skin maybe??)

But all in all it’s just believable enough.

Feel free to use I guess. I don’t think I have time to draw it.

The jealous and the liar

leo x mc hc

Trigger warning: grammatical and typographical errors.

Haxs

Hmm. No, I don’t hear them here. But I’m sure I saw them walking this way… tsk! That himbo really doesn’t want me to get involved, huh?

It’s just a matter of—

Leo furrowed his brows as he heard a muffled sound. He thought it was Alan and Tohma, but as he followed the source of the sound, he heard a female voice that was too familiar to miss.

Tsk, so it’s just honor roll.

As he was about to turn away, he heard another voice.

“W…was it your first kiss?”

?!

That voice just now, it belongs to that washed-up star… doesn’t it?

“Huh? Ah… I— yes.”

Tsk!

So they really kissed?! That honor roll, of all people you’re going to kiss, and you did it with that good-for-nothing national treasure wannabe!

Leo clicked his tongue, grabbed his phone, and searched for Honor Roll’s inbox, messaging her, “Hey, Honor Roll.”

Her phone made a sound, a sound Leo knew very well. After all, he’s the one who customized her ringtones for general notifications, messages, calls, and even her phone’s alarm system.

“Your phone…”

“Oh— ah, Leo messaged me.”

“Aren’t you going to respond? It must be important.”

“I’ll respond later. Leo would call me if it’s an urgent matter.”

“Oh… he must—

Did she just ignore me?

Leo gritted his teeth and dialed her number, which she accepted.

“Where are you?”

“Huh?”

“I said, where are you?”

“I’m… why? Is there an emergency? What can I help you with?”

“Can you just say where you are and who you are with?”

MC paused for a moment before responding.

“I’m on my way to Clementia dorm. Why?”

“Are you walking alone?”

“Yes… well, actually I’m wi—

He cut the call immediately and stomped away.

Liar

It’s been days since Leo’s been in a foul mood, and Sho knows better than to provoke him. Plus, other than his short temper, he’s been awfully quiet, which is better than it is bad. This version of him is less annoying than his usual self, and Alan couldn’t agree more. So both of them just let him be.

Another day had passed, and MC just got back from a mission with Hotarubi. She went straight to The Pit looking for Leo. Alan told her he was in his room and suggested she should just come back the next day since it was already late.

But since she’ll have to teach Lyca tomorrow, she insisted on seeing the man.

.

Leo heard familiar footsteps coming from outside, stopping in front of his door. But before she could even knock, he opened his door.

“What?” He looked at her, remembering that night. “Are you done playing house with that little kabuki prince?”

“What—

“What are you doing here?”

“I… you called me a few days ago, and I haven’t had the chance to ask you what it was for since… you ended it so abruptly…”

“It’s nothing. There. Are we done?”

“Why does it feel like I have done something wrong?”

“Oho? If you feel that way, care to think about what you might have done wrong?”

“So, I did something wrong?”

“Tsk. It’s getting late; I’m sleeping.” Leo turned away and left MC and the door open. “Close the door for me, will you? Goodnight”

MC watched him as he got on his bed. Psh.

“You know what? I’m not leaving here unless you tell me what’s wrong.” She entered his room and closed the door.

“Suit yourself then.”

“What is wrong with you?! I don’t understand why you’re acting like I’ve done something wrong yet refuse to tell me what it is. You’re so frustrating!”

“Shut up and let me sleep.”

“No, you’re not sleeping. You’re going to tell me what’s wrong,” she said firmly, crossing her arms and watching Leo as he sat up.

“I’m trying to sleep. If you want to disturb someone, go and visit that washed-up star.”

“You…

“Tsk, it’s inappropriate to go to another man’s room, you know? The last thing I want to get involved in is infidelity.”

“What—

“Rumors spread like wildfires, you know? I wouldn’t want that lame Hotarubi captain coming after me first thing in the morning.”

“Wait… you talk as if I’m in a relationship with Subaru—

“Weren’t you, though? You two even kissed.”

“It was accidental! And how did you“—

“Never mind… I’m tired. Honor Roll, can you please just turn off the lights for me?”

“So you were there! But you called… me… when I told you I was alone; is that the reason why you’re angry at me?”

“Tsk! I’m not angry, okay? Plus, why should I be? Honor Roll, your head is getting bigger thinking that I liked you—

“So you like me…? you’re jealous of Subaru, and that’s what all this is about.”

“You’re getting ahead of yourself, NPC.”

“Then why don’t you look at me right now and listen to me?”

“If you’re not turning the lights off, just say so. Tch.” Leo got up on his feet and walked toward the door where the light switch was placed.

Click

“Subaru and I are just friends. He walked me back to the Clementia dorm that night, and I stumbled on something. When I was about to fall, he tried to help me, but I ended up pulling him with me, and we accidentally kissed. Then you called…”

“And then you lied.”

“But I didn’t mean to!”

Sigh.

“Plus, it was never even a real kiss… well at least in my perception of kiss.”

“Let’s end this useless conversation; I’m freaking sleepy. I haven’t slept for days. Can we call it a night and sleep?”

Clunk.

MC never knew he was this stubborn; all she managed to do was sigh in defeat.

And when she was about to walk out, she felt his hands on her wrist. “Where are you going?”

“Out. To Clementia. To my bed. To sleep.”

“It’s not safe for you to walk at this hour. Sleep here.”

Where?

Leo gently guides her through the dark. As they reach the bathroom, he turns on its light.

?

“Wait, I’m going to get you something to wear.” He caressed her wrist and let go. Oh… She doesn’t know what to react to and what to think; all she just did was watch him disappear in the dark as she waited for him.

He may be harsh, especially in their first few months knowing each other, but she notices how slowly he becomes less demanding and harsh.

She has seen many sides of him already, but this is new. Never in her life had she thought of witnessing a jealous Leo. Lucky for him, she likes him, or else—

“Finally,” he said rather to himself when she came out of the bathroom. She thought he’d be sleeping already when she finished, but why is he still up? “Don’t just look at me there; come here and let’s sleep.”

“Where am I sleeping? ”

“Where do you think?” He sarcastically said before giving her space next to him, patting it. “Just get here.”

“You could’ve just said we’re sharing the bed, you know.” He intentionally ignored her words and turned his phone off, placing it on the bedside table.

And a moment later, he felt her settle next to him and slip under the blanket. He could smell his shampoo and soap in her, and it’s not helping him to sleep.

Minutes have passed, but for some reason they couldn't sleep. Both of them just stayed silent, and all Leo could hear was the abnormal rhythm of heartbeats. Whose did it belong to? His? or hers? he’s not sure of.

.

I don’t know what I’m thinking writing this lmao. It’s not proofread so bear with my writing.

[shootingstargirl2001]

Heyyy!!!

So the requests like i promised (i don't know how to start one often) so a Percy or Jason x reader (idk who you wrote for exactly) so reader is reading a book and full on into it and when they ate done they talk their boyfriend ears off and they just nodding cause they don't know what they're talking about (plus points of they pick up the book for them)

☆...Books...☆

Percy jackson x fem!reader

Warings : swearing and allusions to sex iguess

Sitting up on Percy’s bed, you close your book and place it on the many blankets. You look over Percy, to who’s asleep next to you. Deciding that he’s slept enough, you climb into his lap and tap him on the chest. “percee,” you whine.

After a few seconds, he begins to stir. “Yes, angel?” His hands find your waist as he blinks sleep from his eyes. “So,, so so so so... I finished my book, and it was so good, and I love it, and I love them and-and—” he has a sleepy smile on his face istens as you ramble.

“Perce, are you even listening?” you pout, seeing the half-awake look on his face. His head perks up. “Hmm? Yeah, I'm listening, just tired, angel.” You reposition yourself so you sat more comfortably on his lap.. “ooook…well anway and then he walks her home while so inlove with her while also hating her and its so cute.”

“Mhmm.” one of his hands moves from your waist to squeeze your thigh as he tries to sit up. “angel..my gorgeous girlfriend...love of my life…i would love to listen to you talk about your book for hours, and i will after i go to the bathroom” he mutters. Sliding off his lap and back onto the bed “oh ok”.

He makes his way to the cabin three bathroom and closes the door. You take this time to put your book on the shelf Percy helped build for you (he had leo build and only put the wood stain on it but its the thought that counts.)

You place the book on the shelf before realizing that you didnt buy the rest of the series last time you and percy went on a bookstore date.

Sitting back on Percy’s bed, you bundle under a blanket to sulk for a moment. Percy emerges from the bathroom, ready to listen to you ramble about your book, and sits on the bed. He notices your expression and takes your hand. “what’s wrong angel?” he asks.

“I didnt get the rest of the series when we went to the bookstore.” you pause and percy kisses your hand “i dont have anything to read now” you mumble, knowing you have a whole chunk on your shelf that you need to read.

Percy grins “we can go get them tomorrow” then he gets that look in his eyes “there is something we can do to make you feel better.” he presses another kiss on your palm as you giggle.

And that defnitley makes you feel better.

He Likes Me

Rise!Donnie x Gn!Reader

This isn’t a request or part of anything bigger, just a happy oneshot to brighten your mood. Enjoy!

It was saturday which meant that April and Y/n were able to spend the day at the lair with their favourite turtle brothers. Donnie had been tinkering with some new gadget whatcha-ma-who, Mikey was reading through a new cookbook April brought him, Leo and Raph were caught up in a competitive video game while April and Y/n found themselves wrapped up in their phones. As for Splinter you may ask? He had some “important errands to run” whatever that meant.

Something that caught Aprils eye though was the focused expression on Y/n’s face and the consistent scrolling on their phone. Something was up.

“You ok Y/n?” She turned to face them. Y/n paused what they were doing and quickly tried to cover up the truth.

“Uh yep! Totally fine, there’s nothing going on at least not with me at the moment.” They flashed a bright toothy smile that couldn’t have seemed more fake, prompting Mikey to speak up from his book.

“Hmm I’m no expert, well maybe I am, but you don’t seem fine.” Leo looked over his shoulder towards the conversation.

“You can tell us if something’s bothering you.” Suddenly a loud crashing noise came from the game as Raph held his arms up in victory.

“Ha, yes! Suck it Leo!”

“Wha- no!” Leo dramatically called out after turning back to the screen. Donnie sighed and rolled his eyes at the sight.

“Dumb dumbs.” He muttered under his breath before looking over at Y/n.

“Look Y/n, we know you and you know us and knowing you there’s definitely something wrong so I highly recommend telling us what it is before Mikey and April try to force it out of you.”

“Mikey and April aren’t going to-“ Y/n cut themself off seeing the demonic looks on April and Mikey’s faces directed at them.

“Okay, okay I’ll come clean!” They shouted. “I have… *sigh* a date.”

“A date?” April looked at them.

“A date!?” Mikey, Leo and Raph all simultaneously spoke.

“A date…” Donnie reluctantly spoke out, feeling a sense of disappointment wash over him. No that wasn’t quite it, perhaps animosity?

“Oh ho Y/n pulling all the guys, or girls o-or- who are you going out with exactly?” Leo asked.

“Just some guy from school, his name’s Melvin.” Y/n explained. “He’s sweet and I think he really likes me.”

“But do you like him?” Mikey questioned, leaning in close towards them. Almost like an interrogation.

“Well yeah, I mean why else would I go out with him?”

“Hmmm.” Mikey stroked his chin consciously. “Fair point.” He backed away to a more comfortable distance.

“I’m just kind of nervous since it’s my first ever date and I don’t exactly want to make a bad impression.” April perked up at Y/n’s words and quickly grabbed their hand.

“Well if it’s help you need, then it’s help you’ll get. Bye boys we’ll be back in an hour!” April cheered and pulled Y/n off to her house. The brothers sat staring silently at where April and Y/n had been seconds ago.

“Uh, bye.” Raph spoke to no one now that they were gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At April’s house, Y/n was trying on different outfits while they talked.

“Look Y/n, I’m happy you got this date and all but I’m confused, I thought you liked Donnie?” Y/n hesitated as they came out in their next outfit of choice.

“I… I do but I’ve decided that it might be time to move on.”

“Move on!?” This sent April into an internal panic. She knew Donnie liked Y/n and Y/n liked Donnie. If they moved on then the two might miss out on what could have been something incredible for both of them. Not to mention Donnie would be heartbroken!

“Yeah.” Y/n continued. “It’s just that I’ve liked him for years now. Since we were what, eight? And he hasn’t shown any signs of liking me back, at least none that I’ve noticed.”

“Well you never know, maybe he’s just worried that you won’t feel the same way about him.” April suggested in hopes of sending Y/n some hints.

“Maybe. But I just can’t help but feel as though I’m hanging on to something that’s never going to happen. That if I keep holding on to it I’ll continue miss out on other opportunities. I want to be able to have something with someone and I have to accept that that someone might not be Donnie.” Y/n sadly explained. Truthfully, they didn’t want to let their feelings for Donnie go but it was the healthy thing to do.

“That’s really mature of you Y/n.” April smiled sadly. She might not have wanted Y/n to let Donnie go however she couldn’t help but be proud of her younger friend.

“On a more positive note, what do we think of this? I was kind of going for casual but pretty and well done.” Y/n turned to show off different angles of the outfit to April.

“Girl you look gorgeous; anyone would grateful to get to see you tonight.” April hyped them up and the two excitedly hugged.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back at the lair things weren’t going as great. Leo, Raph and Mikey knew of their brother’s long term feelings for Y/n and were struggling to find an appropriate way to console him.

“H-hey think about it this way, if it goes badly then you’ll be able to get closer to Y/n by comforting them.” Leo suggested, immediately receiving a smack on the back of his head from Raph.

“Leo are you suggesting I take advantage of Y/n’s emotional state and manipulate them into liking me by providing a source of comfort purely for my own personal gain?” Donnie frowned.

“Uh yes?” Leo hesitantly confirmed.

“Oh for the love of science, I’m looking for advice here Leo. I want to be supportive not narcissistic and callous!” Mikey quickly pushed Leo to the side in a futile attempt to save what little chance they had left of helping their brother.

“Don’t worry D. Look, everyone deals with all sorts of emotions from time to time and jealousy is an extremely common-“

“I’m not jealous.” Donnie cut Mikey off. The younger turtle sighed.

“Right. Well if you want to be able to be supportive of Y/n and not feel any resentment towards their arrangement then it might be time to… let those feelings go.” All three brothers exchanged nervous glances, unsure of how Donnie would react.

“You know what.” He spoke up. “You’re right, you are absolutely right. This has gone on for far too long and it’s time I moved on.”

“Wait seriously?” Raph raised an eyebrow at Donnie’s response. Unbelieving that he would be accepting so quickly.

“Yes seriously. From now on my feelings for Y/n are no more and nothing is going to change that.” Donnie turned around in pride only for his heart to stop at the sight. April and Y/n had finally returned and boy did Y/n look ever so gorgeous. “Sweet Galileo.” He whispered as his pupils shrunk.

“Hey boys we’re back!” April cheered as she and Y/n walked closer.

“Looking good Y/n.” Leo called out.

“You’re gonna own tonight.” Mikey cheered.

“And if he even thinks of laying a hand on you! Just call us, we’ll take care of it no problem.” Raph smiled brightly to cover up his protectiveness.

“Aww you guys are too kind. We do have to leave soon, again, but we just wanted to pop down to get a final verdict on the outfit. It seems you three like it, Donnie?” He turned to face Y/n who was now looking over in his direction. “What do you think?” He looked at them for a moment in contemplation before sighing and smiling warmly.

“You look… absolutely stunning. He’s a really lucky guy.” Y/n returned his look with a genuine smile.

“Thanks that means a lot coming from you.” They smiled bashfully at the ground, their cheeks turning red. The moment was cut short when Y/n noticed the time on their watch and went back to stressing.

“Ooh well it looks like it’s time to head off; I’ll let you guys know how it goes. Shall we?” Y/n smiled at April.

“We shall.” April nodded her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

���Bye Y/n! Make good choices!” April called out to Y/n who was now walking away with their date.

“I will!” Y/n smiled and laughed at Aprils enthusiasm. Melvin turned to face them.

“Your friend seems very eccentric.” He gave a toothy smile.

“She sure is.” Y/n agreed as the two walked away. Something odd caught April’s eye though. She noticed with the glint in his teeth how the boy looked almost like he had fangs. Her eyes quickly moved to examine Melvin once more before he disappeared from her vision and what she saw caused her to gasp in fear.

Under the boys large coat was the very end of a tail sticking out. Whatever he was, he certainly wasn’t human and the fact that he was hiding it couldn’t mean anything good.

She quickly dashed away, heading down the streets of NYC to find the nearest manhole.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Boys, we have a problem!”

The turtle brothers looked over at April who had quickly run into the lair.

“And that would be?” Leo asked, looking around carelessly.

“I think Y/n’s date might be a mutant.”

“No!” Raph called out as the boys shrieked in fear.

“Or a Yōkai.” April continued.

“Gasp!” Donnie shouted as the brothers let out an even more panicked reaction.

“Or even some sort of alien-type monster!”

“Oh my god!” Mikey cried, holding his head in his hands as they all pulled the most horrified looks they possibly could.

“Wait, wait, wait. What makes you think he (Maaa, Mor, M-Melvin was it?) could be any of those things?” Leo asked prompting the others to look to April for an answer.

“He had a tail and fangs. He was also clearly trying to hide it and I don’t know about you guys but whenever someone’s trying to hide that they’re a non-human creature I don’t usually take it as a good sign.”

Mikey frowned for a moment before looking back at April.

“But Y/n was so excited about this date. We can’t just go and ruin it now.”

“Yeah, I mean, and besides what if you’re wrong and the guy’s perfectly normal?” Raph had a good point, it was entirely possible this person wanted to cause no harm.

“Well if you guys don’t believe me then come see for yourselves. We won’t interrupt them, just take a good look at the guy because I am positive there is no way he’s human.” April suggested, she hoped they would agree because at this stage she couldn’t take on a whole mutant by herself even with Y/n’s assistance.

“If what you’re proposing is true, and I’m not saying it is, then I suppose it makes sense to go and check it out.” Donnie agreed, of course he did. Truthfully he was just taking this as an excuse to see how the two were going. How much Y/n liked him, if he was treating them right, how close they had gotten.

April sighed with relief that they had all agreed. She knew it was unlikely but somewhere deep down she hoped this guy wasn’t a threat. Hopefully, somehow, maybe Raph was right and he was totally harmless… hopefully.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for Y/n, they were blissfully unawhere of any danger and were currently enjoying their romantic night.

“So do you have any hobbies?” They asked in hopes of getting to know more about Melvin.

“Oh nothing much, mainly artistry and a bit of sport. I was actually enlisted by this club to go and recruit new members for them.”

“Oh that sounds cool.” Y/n perked up. They didn’t want to give the impression they were overly interested but were curious about this ‘club’ nonetheless.

“Yeah it’s like a fighting arena type thing.” The guy went on. “It wasn’t easy but I guess they saw potential in me.”

“I guess they did.” Y/n smiled. They then looked around noticing how their surroundings had drastically changed from the rows of grey concrete buildings to a beautiful lush green park “This is my favourite part of the city! How did you know?”

“Lucky guess?” Melvin smiled and shrugged causing Y/n to laugh cheerfully and pull him along.

“Come on, let’s go!”

Unknown by the two teens, behind them were April and the turtles huddled tightly in a bush to discreetly watch them.

“Ugh I can’t see!” Leo whined in a hushed voice while trying to push Raph to the side.

“Then look harder. Don’t try to push me out, you’ll blow our cover!” Raph whispered back. Leo kept shoving around and pushed Donnie causing his goggles to fall on his head.

“Now I can’t see! What’s going on? Are they talking, have they kissed?”

“SHUT UP DONNIE!” The other four yelled before quickly hiding back in the bush in hopes they hadn’t made their presence known.

“Did you hear something?” Y/n asked, curiously turning around to see where the noise had come from.

“I didn’t hear anything” Melvin shrugged, his smile taking on an unnerving tone.

In the bush, Leo was still bickering with Raph. April was shoving Donnie to the side as he was being pushed into her by the force of Raph and Leo’s back-and-forth shoves. Poor Mikey was stuck nervously at the edge of the bush, watching Y/n and Melvin talk as he struggled to avoid exposing himself.

“Can you two please stop, that it is very annoying!” Donnie complained to his fighting brothers. Soon enough he managed to get enough space to move his goggles efficiently. He began to lift them up back to the designated spot on top of his head.

“Finally I can see what’s going on and- wait!” He stopped when he saw something curious as they passed over his eyes. He properly positioned them so he could see through them and began to inspect the scene in front of them.

“Uh guys, April may have been right.”

The two brothers stopped fighting and Mikey sighed in relief as he was one toe away from falling out.

“What are you talking about?” Raph asked.

“I can’t believe I didn’t think of checking sooner but this Melvin guy is radiating a lot of mystic energy.” Donnie spoke as he adjusted his goggles.

“Ha! I told you all!” April cheered and pointed at the brothers in victory. “Wait…” she then came to the realisation. “That’s not good, Y/n’s in danger! Code red, code red!”

“We don’t even have a code red!” Leo pointed out, exasperated.

“Ooh this is bad, what are we gonna do!?” Mikey panicked.

“What do you mean, ‘what are we gonna do’? I’ll tell you what we’re going to do, we’re going to go out there and kick some mystic butt!” Raph punched the palm of his hand. April and the three younger brothers all nodded their heads in sync.

Y/n and Melvin continued to walk around in the same spot for a while, still asking each other different questions.

“Uh what kind of friends do you have?” Melvin asked in an overly cheery tone.

“Well I’m fairly close with my best friend April and I have these four friends who I’ve known for quite sometime now.” Y/n answered blindly.

“Wow, they sound interesting. Tell me more about these friends.”

“Ok?” Y/n agreed in a questioning matter. “They’re brothers and each kind of have their own thing which is one of the things I really like about them. The oldest is super tough and strong, the youngest is an amazing chef and incredibly cheerful, the second oldest is very flamboyant and his slightly younger brother, who we call his twin but isn’t actually his twin, is the smarts of the group.”

“Exciting!” Melvin commented. They must make great fighters.”

“Yeah…” Y/n trailed off. “Wait how did you make that connection?”

Melvin began to darkly chuckle. “You know I really didn’t expect it to be this easy.”

Y/n started slowly backing away. “Mel you’re kinda freaking me out here.”

“I mean capturing four superpowered mutants, now how was I meant to do that?” He smiled.

“Mutants!? Melvin what are you talking abou-“

“But then it hit me. I didn’t have to capture them, I only needed to capture you.”

Y/n quickly turned to run away but it was too late. Melvin had transformed into a beastly lizard yōkai and grabbed them before they could get away.

“Ugh no, help!” They tried to reach their phone but their arms were pressed tightly up against their sides. Just as they were ready to attempt an escape four figures jumped from behind a bush and landed infront of the towering Melvin.

“Let her go you scaly monster!” Raph demanded.

“Yeah, or else we’ll have to go full Lou Jitsu on you!” Mikey shouted while getting into a fighting pose.

“How dare you capture our beautiful beloved friend and mess with their feelings!” Donnie stated, preparing his tech-bō for battle.

“Is your name even Melvin!?” Leo pointed an accusatory finger towards him.

“Actually no, feel free to call me Nivlem!”

“Nivlem. Your real name is just your fake name flipped around?” Leo challenged.

“Uh yeah, what’s wrong with that?” Melvin asked.

“I don’t know it just seems a little basic.” He shrugged.

“W-well what are your other villains called? You know what, never mind I’ll just change it to something cooler like… The Destructor!”

“Mmm no.” Leo shook his head.

“Ooh I know!” Mikey pitched in. “How about… The Destructinator!”

“Now that is a cool villain name!” Leo smiled.

“Whatever, you guys are losers! Now, I’ll make this nice and easy for you; turn yourselves into Big Mama or else I’ll crush the bones of your friend till there’s nothing left to break.” The Destructinator threatened, squeezing Y/n tightly enough to cause them discomfort but not enough to severely injure them yet.

The brothers stood still in silent fear for their friend. If they were to so much as make a move to fight then Y/n would be crushed but turning themselves into Big Mama wasn’t exactly an ideal option either.

Y/n managed to squeeze themself out of The Destructinator’s grip just enough to cough out a sentence. “So let me guess, that fight club you recruit for is actually the Battle Nexus?”

“Uh yeah, I figured that would be obvious by now.” He replied, squeezing Y/n back into place much to the panic of the four turtles. Their face-off was soon broken when a loud yell came from behind and April smacked The Destructinator harshly in the side of the head with her bat. He stumbled and dropped Y/n who was thankfully caught by Donnie in the nick of time.

“Thanks Donnie, thought I was goner there for a second.” They looked up at Donnie causing him to blush and avoid their gaze.

“Well it was nothing, just making sure my friend doesn’t turn into a pancake.” He let them down as they turned back to April who ran up to give them a hug.

“Oh thank goodness you’re ok. When that guy comes to his senses I’m going to smack the life out of him!” She announce while fiercely tapping her bat into the palm of her hand.

“Thanks April.” Y/n smiled. “Wait what were you guys doing here anyway I thought you were all back at the lair!?” They asked.

“Well yeah about that you see-“ Leo began with the intent of covering up with a lie.

“April said she saw something weird about your date so we followed you here and watched you two to see if he was dangerous!” Mikey blurted out.

“So you stalked me?” Y/n questioned.

“Uh yeah. But only with good intentions.” Raph replied.

“And it worked out cause if we hadn’t you’d most likely be a prisoner of Big Mama.” April defended to try and make out the situation in a positive light.

“Don’t worry I’m not mad, just be glad you were right or else I’d be livid.” Y/n reassured them.

The Destructinator began to finally wake up and rubbed the side of his head April had hit.

“Ouch, that really hurt!” He took note that Y/n was with the turtles safely and growled. “Fine, if you won’t turn yourselves in then I’ll do it for you.”

The Destructinator then charged forward and smashed his fist on the ground, separating the group. April, now on the ground with her hands supporting her weight, gripped her bat and stood up with a fire in her eyes.

“Oh that’s it!” She took the opportunity while his hand was on the ground to run up his arm. April attempted to swing her bat at his head again but was stopped by his other hand and thrown against a tree.

“Hey Destructinator!” Mikey wrapped the chain of his kusari-fundo around The Destructinator’s wrist. “Take this!” He attempted to pull him down but was instead thrown into the air and fell smack on the ground. “Ouchie.”

Leo decided to antagonise the lizard yōkai by running behind him and cheerfully calling.

“Yoo hoo, Destructinator!” The Destructinator turned around and rapidly began throwing punches all of which Leo dodged in a glamorous manner. It was when he chose to close his eyes and start bragging “Ha! Can’t touch Neon Leon.” that The Destructinator was able to land a punch and send him flying.

He turned around and spotted Y/n, picking them up once more as they struggled against his grip.

“I warned you, now time to suffer the consequences.” He prepared to crush them to bits until Donnie shouted.

“Hey, hands off you overgrown lacertilia!” He held his tech-bō sturdily as a giant missile formed at the back. He ran forward and smashed it directly in The Destructinator’s face causing him to wobble backwards.

Y/n noticed his grip loosen and freed herself, sliding down the lizard and running off to Donnie’s side.

Once it stopped hurting The Destructinator took his hand off his face and stared down at Donnie in rage.

“Why you little-“

“Hey!” Raph yelled out, directing The Destructinator’s attention to him. “Pick on someone your own size!” He then used his powers to form his bigger body which towered over the lizard. “Or a little bigger.” He smirked and lifted up The Destructinator with both of his hands, yelled “Hot Soup!” before slamming him into the ground.

The Destructinator began coughing and clearing dust out of his eyes till he noticed Y/n standing off bedside some trees.

Upon noticing his stare they ran and he quickly stood, taking chase.

“Hey, get back here!”

What he didn’t see was Y/n smiling and looking back at him before passing another tree. As he went to do the same, April jumped out and smacked him in the face with her bat.

He held his head in pain before being twisted around by Mikey’s kusari-fundo and spun around again when being quickly released.

As The Destructinator teetered on one foot in his dizzy state; Leo opened a portal beside him and pushed him in, leaning over the edge while the yōkai fell to yell out.

“Tell Big Mama we said hi!”

He stood back and finally closed the portal causing everyone to cheer.

Donnie looked towards Y/n and quickly ran to them, holding their shoulders.

“Are you ok, did he hurt you badly?”

“I’m fine Donnie.” They placed their hands on his shoulders in return. He quickly hugged them tightly which caught Y/n off guard as he isn’t known for being a hugger. But instead of questioning it they embraced the hug and enjoyed it while it lasted.

Sadly that wasn’t very long as the others began gathering around them. The two separated and April swung an arm around Y/n’s shoulders.

“From now on I’m interrogating all your dates.”

“Haha.” Y/n let out a dry laugh. “Please tell me you’re joking.”

“Nope!” April smiled and everyone burst into laughter as they began walking home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day ended with Y/n in Donnie’s lab, leaning on the back of a chair while scrolling on their phone as he carefully worked on repairing a broken piece of equipment.

“I’m sorry about your date Y/n.”

“It’s fine. Besides I’m not really counting this one since it sucked and didn’t actually end up being a date at all.”

He looked over to them relaxing and felt a wave of concern at how peaceful they were, perhaps they were in denial?

“Apologies for my skepticism but you seem rather happy for someone who was nearly killed by a mutant lizard pretending to be their date.” He fully turned his chair in their direction this time, giving them his full attention.

“Well I guess maybe it’s because I didn’t actually like Melvin that much, or The Destructinator I suppose.” They looked up from their phone in deep thought.

“So if you didn’t really like him then why agree to go out with him?”

“Desperation maybe? I think a part of me just felt a bit crushed and was looking for something to hide my feelings.”

“Your feelings?” Donnie questioned, wanting to push further on the conversation.

“It’s nothing just a guy, a different one, one I actually do like but I don’t think he likes me back.” Y/n cringed, scrunching up into a smaller ball as they reflected on the situation.

“And who might this other guy be?” Donnie frowned, feeling like the weight in his chest had just been replaced by a heavier one.

“He’s a very special person, I’ve known him for a while now and liked him for the best part of I don’t know how many years.” They looked at the roof to try and recall how long it had been.

“Oh.” He replied, heart sinking further into the ground.

“He has a funny personality and can be so smart but so dumb at the same time. April thinks he likes me but I’m still set on the fact that he doesn’t and probably never will.”

As Donnie kept putting the pieces together he gathered an idea in his mind. Someone smart and stupid whom Y/n had known for a long time and also had affiliations with April. He gasped.

“Leo!?”

“No it’s not Leo!” Y/n quickly shouted back.

“Is it Mikey!?”

“No Donnie it’s not any of your brothers!”

“Well then who else have you known for so long!?”

Y/n stopped for a moment, unsure how to proceed. They were tempted to tell him the truth, just get it over and done with, rip the Band-Aid off. But what would it mean for their friendship? What consequences would telling him bring? They made their choice and with a shaky breath quietly replied.

“You.”

Donnie’s heart stopped for a moment before he came to his senses. They liked him. They actually liked him! This mysterious guy he was planning on hunting down was him! He didn’t know that to do, dance, laugh, cry? Without thinking he shoved his chair forwards and pulled Y/n into a kiss. Their foreheads touched as the two leant in closer, both still in equal shock.

“Why would you think I don’t like you?” Donnie asked as he pulled away.

“I don’t know.” Y/n answered blankly. “Do you like me?”

“Yes you dumb dumb!” He laughed and the two kissed once more. Unfortunately for them it was cut short by the sound of a camera snapping. They looked towards the entrance only to see Leo’s head sticking out behind his phone.

“Oooh Pops is gonna looove this!” He cackled and ran away, waving his phone in the air.

“I’ll be right back.” Donnie frowned as he grabbed some gun-looking device off his bench and took chase screaming.

“Leo!”

Y/n laughed, watching him l run off, with their head leaning on one hand. As they smiled distractedly one thought filled their mind ‘He likes me!’

That’s all. Not much to say here but hope you enjoyed reading and have an amazing day/night wherever you are!✨

:D omg, you are going to make me addicted to apolo, the man cries out to be loved, a request for the favor of our dear apolo (in devinart there was a farm where the reader dated leo but he cheated on her with calypso, then the He realizes that he made the worst mistake of his life, seeing that because of calypso he was attracted but he loved the reader)How does Leo react when he discovers that his ex-girlfriend, whom he still loves, is now Apollo's partner(fiancee) pleeeees

i'm a loser.・゜-: ✧ :-

leo valdez x fem!reader x apollo

summary: Leo realizes that he messed it up a little... well no, he totally screwed up. And now he's going for you, he's going to tell you that he loves you, that you should be together for the rest of your lifes oooh, wait. Are you married with Apollo? THE GOD APOLLO? warnings: THIS IS SO LONG, HAHA but another one? mmm nope, i don't think so. a/n: yeaaaah, the concept you gave me is so hilarious, i love it. Leo is literally my boyfriend but making him suffer makes me laugh, it's like YES DAMN CRY FOR ME, but whatever. i was even inspired by that song by my beloved Beatles. i hope you like it.

w/c: 2.617 (the longest I've done so far, followed by "lovelorn")

Apollo wanted to laugh, he really wanted to, but he had learned not to make fun of other people's shit, but damn, could you blame him? He definitely never thought that Leo Valdez was an opponent for him, don't get him wrong, he was saying it because he likes him. (really) and helped him during his mission, but there, standing from his palace on Olympus, he could see everything, including if someone was threatening against you, his wife.

Flames rose as Leo threw the map into the air in fury, totally frustrated in Festus. He couldn't find you, in fact, Apollo kept wondering how he was tracking you, but he didn't seem to want to answer that question. No, or he would end his patience, yes, he had appreciation for the Son of Hephaestus, but when they messed with you, he would lose his mind immediately, or worse, try to get into their relationship? He would be in charge of throwing Leo from the Mount Olympus.

Of course, he wasn't afraid, much less jealous, but he knew what the relationship with Leo had meant to you. You were totally in love, even Apollo knows that you would have married him if only Leo hadn't screwed things up, and boy did he do it big.

He mean, cheating on you with the now ex-sorceress Calypso? Oh, man. Who the fuck would cheat on you? Hmm, yes, Leo Valdez.

The main doors of the palace opened and Apollo dissolved the image. Some murmurs were heard, followed by footsteps heading towards the main throne room, it was definitely you.

— Apollo?—  He heard the doors opening, and he stood in front of the fire, he didn't want to lie to you, but he couldn't interfere either, he knew that would make you upset. The footsteps approached and he felt you take his arm. — Apollo!— 

He looked at you and feigned surprise. He raised both hands in welcome and cradled your face with them before giving you a chaste kiss on the lips. — My beautiful wife.

You closed your eyes when his lips touched yours, and you smiled tenderly.

— Dear husband — You said in a soft mocking tone. You used to do it when Apollo couldn't help but sound so… posh. But to tell the truth, he filled you with joy.

He ran his fingers over your forehead, removing some baby hairs, and made a golden wreath of laurels appear on the crown of your head. He always spent his time adorning you and making you feel loved, you loved him.

Then, Apollo forced himself to blow out the bubble.

— Do you want something, dear?

— I know we're on… — your cheeks turned pink — the honeymoon, but I need to go to Camp Jupiter.

Your pleading eyes, damn, not even Zeus would dare say no to you. Then, he realized what was happening. Apollo tried to hide the realization from himself, but that name began to swirl in his mind; The Fates. Those antiques would hear about him.

—The honeymoon is an old concept, with traditions that we really don't take so… literally anymore —Apollo said as he gently ran his fingers over your blushing cheeks. —So, you know you can come and go whenever you want. I'm not like my uncle Hades.

The blonde giggled, and you poked his arm, making him jump.

— Apollo!

— My love!

You looked at him with a frown, and he smiled even more, trying to push aside all those thoughts where you could get hurt.

It was a fact, you were going to meet Leo at Camp Jupiter, and he wouldn't be able to do anything.

He caressed your face once more and turned, walking to the large window of the great room.

You felt bad leaving him alone, you didn't want to leave him like that, but you were in the last semesters of your degree. Yes, you were on vacation, but you had to leave some paperwork behind.

— I won't take a second.

Apollo let out a short laugh, full of knowledge. He knew it would take you at least a day and a half to get back to him. He turned to you and walked slowly.

—Just come back to me, dear.

Your eyes shone, and you walked the distance he needed to close the distance between you. You took his hands and kissed his knuckles.

— Always.

He turned his hands so that he was the one holding yours now and made a wedding ring appear on your ring finger. When you looked at the diamond, you raised your eyebrow and your look became amused.

—Do you mark your territory?

Apollo smiled and kissed your forehead.

— In case some fool hasn't heard the great news that I am your husband.

The fool was Leo, yes. Apollo said it for him, if not, for who else?

Your husband had done you a favor and made you appear right at the entrance to Camp Jupiter, advantages of a god making you his wife. When the campers guarding the doors saw you, they immediately opened it for you.

You excused yourself and made your way towards New Rome, in fact, you hesitated whether to go there first or go say hello or… If you would meet them anyway near the university.

You walked to the limit.

You loved New Rome, it was definitely home to you, at least when you had to stay on campus during the semester. But to live the rest of your life there would also have been pleasant, although Mount Olympus wasn't bad.

You made your way and some looked at you. So, you quickened your pace, you didn't like to attract a lot of attention like that.

You moved quickly towards the university and found the campus. Blessed be the gods.

You clutched the papers to your chest and walked.

— HEY!

You turned around slowly, not really wanting any questions. But you turned completely around when you saw Frank holding hands with Hazel, trying to reach you.

— GUYS!

They both caught up to you and smiled hungrily. They wanted to hug you, but they backed out at the last moment, which made you frown.

— What was that?

Frank started babbling and Hazel laughed nervously.

—Can we hug you?

You laughed and threw yourself at both of them, so you hugged at the same time. — You fools, I'm the same as always. Just how married and that's it.

Frank denied. — WITH APOLLO

Hazel punched him in the belly, making him double over. The three of you laughed, and then she looked at you nervously.

—Have you seen anyone else? —She asked. You denied.

— I figured Percy and Annabeth would be in New York for the holidays. Nico and Will, Camp Half-Blood, Jason finishing his accounting for the new altars. Piper, in Oklahoma… — You made loops with your hand and thought if you had forgotten someone.

Hazel looked at Frank, and he encouraged her to say whatever had them both acting that way.

Hazel sighed.

—Leo arrived in the morning.

Your expression did not change at all, a reaction that your friends had not expected.

— AND?

Frank scratched the back of his neck nervously. — He is actually searching for you.

Then your eyebrows raised, showing your confusion.

— what? — You snorted. You looked for any sign that it was a joke, but there was none. — So? Do I owe him money?

Hazel laughed nervously and shook her head.

— I think he's looking for you because he wants to fix things with you.

— He's desperate —  Frank agreed.

You laughed sarcastically.

—But he knows that I'm already married, right?

— Apparently… no one told him.

— What? — You asked again, raising your voice a little more. Both exchanged nervous glances. You mean, how far is Indianapolis? — Wait, he was with Calypso, he literally cheated on me with her because he said she was the love of his life.

The two of them raised their shoulders and you scoffed.

—Anyway, I'll leave these documents and go off to enjoy what's left of the vacation. Apollo waits for me. Will you accompany me?

Damn, the three of you were about to enter when you heard someone call your name, then Hazel's and finally Frank's, he was definitely the one who turned around, consequently forcing you and Hazel to do the same.

What your eyes saw were priceless. It was Leo running across campus with half his shirt burned and a desperate expression. Your heart raced, and your feet wanted to run away, instead, you stayed still and speechless.

—You are seeing the same thing, right?

Your friends nodded.

—He wasn't like this when we last saw him— Hazel said, forcing a smile and shaking her hand at Leo.

Leo had stopped at Camp Jupiter for supplies, also to check that you weren't there, and you definitely weren't there when he arrived, but rumors spread fast. You wondered if your ex-boyfriend had heard about why everyone was whispering about your arrival, but it seemed like not, or at least he seemed to ignore it.

And so it was.

Fate, the planets, and the stars aligned to ensure that Leo was ignorant about it, so that you would be the one to deal the final blow.

Things with Calypso didn't work out, why? Leo couldn't get you off his mind. Oh, what had he done? He literally cried like a baby when he realized he still loved you. He loved you, you loved him, so as always, he had to screw up.

Leo ran harder; He was taller, a little stockier, and his curls were fluffier than ever. Everything you used to worship was probably just a shadow of its former self. You weren't saying that he was bad, but you definitely no longer felt anything for him, although you couldn't help but feel a tug in your tummy full of melancholy, pain, and anger.

You had already forgiven him, but his recklessness made you want to kill him.

With little breath, Leo crouched down in front of you, grabbing his knees and looking for air.

You took a step back, your face dripping with confusion.

Hazel and Frank looked at him disapprovingly.

—I've been looking for you—he finally said.

— That's what I heard.

Leo stood up and wanted to hug you. To your surprise, you didn't stop him. You missed your friend Leo Valdez. Not your cheating ex-boyfriend, Leo Valdez.

Frank and Hazel screamed and became nervous.

—I've missed you.— He said, breathing softly, taking in pinches of your scent.

Your heart clenched and you forced yourself to smile.

—Me too, Leo.

That gave him courage. He broke the hug and gently took you by the arms.

— I was wrong… — His brown eyes projected remorse and sorrow. — I was seriously wrong, I shouldn't have…

The son of Hephaestus took a deep breath.

— I betrayed your trust. I put your love aside to think that my place was with someone else, but what a jerk… My place has always been with you. You are the one I love the most. Please forgive me …

Those words, as you would have liked to hear them so long ago, but now they were slipping over you, completely meaningless.

—Leo…

— Please! Give me another chance.

His plea resonated, drawing the attention of some residents. They took it as just a student love situation until they saw you. Oh shit, weren't you the wife of the great Apollo?

— Leo, you see… No. We can't have another chance.

Leo's heart beat so fast that he felt like it would jump out of his heart. He held you a little tighter and leaned down.

He was going to kiss you.

— No! — Hazel gasped and Frank hid behind her.

People around the campus seemed on the edge of their seats, they even plead the gods for Apollo didn't appear out of nowhere and incinerate them all. The god was definitely struggling to control his breathing from the palace. Where did his Yoga classes go? Someone meditate with him, please! He wanted to hang Leo.

You put a hand on Leo's lips, and he felt something cold. You slowly pushed him away with a frown on your face.

— I said no.

You turned your hand and revealed the glow of the diamond to his view. The Sun made it look ethereal because, well, it was.

Leo's soul fell at his feet, and he shook his head in confusion.

—I don't… I don't understand.

— I'm married, Leo. I married someone. Did you think I would be heartbroken since you 

cheated on me with Calypso? That I will wait for you? — You snorted and pushed him gently.

— But with who?! Who the fuck-

You put your hand over his mouth again and shook your head.

—Don't do that.— You sighed brokenly and tried to do it delicately. If you named Apollo, everything could go to Tartarus. —He considers you for helping him during his mission as a mortal.

The gossipers laughed, some adults denied indignantly, and their friends, shit, Frank was almost having a heart attack fearing that Apollo would burn Leo to ashes.

—Apollo? —He said, with even greater confusion.

The god was still clinging to the edge of his throne, expectant.

You looked above and came to the conclusion that he was giving your ex-boyfriend a break. That action fell like a bucket of cold water on the son of Hephaestus.

He walked away from you.

— what?

You turned your gaze and caressed his cheek kindly. — I don't hold a grudge against you, Leo. I loved you so much. But I found someone who did not doubt his love for me and without thinking wanted to grow with me.

The boy shook his head and stumbled as he relented, leaving your hands suspended in the air. A gust of sweet air embraced them in that silent moment.

He let you go and thought he might have you back.

You were his friend, his confidant, and the love of his life, yet he let you go.

He disguised his doubts with bad jokes, dishonest touches, and lies.

How could he have been so stupid?

Haha, there goes the idiot that lost the love of his life to a god.

How could a love like the one you used to possess lose?

Look at me, then, Leo said to himself.

You returned with Apollo and your nerves were overwhelming you. This time you felt so distant to the palace, as if you were not worthy to enter. Still, they received you and welcomed you.

— is in his room.

You thanked and headed to the bedroom. Taking care not to be noisy and watch your steps. 

Being at the foot of the entrance, the door opened and revealed your husband. Smiling?

Apollo opened the door and pulled you into the room. You couldn't help but laugh.

Your clothing magically changed upon entering, your modern clothes replaced by a white robe edged with gold. Your hair now adorned with laurels and golden jewels.

The jingle of jewelry amidst your loved one's laughter seemed like the most exquisite sound to you. He held you in his arms and hid her face in the crook of your neck. 

You stroked his fluffy blonde curls.

— Welcome.

He said, bumping his forehead against yours.

—  Did you miss me?—  You said with humor. Apollo kissed your lips, instantly making you feel disoriented. He traced your cheek, your chin, and your neck. Kissed you behind your ear and hummed.

— I know I told you it would be fine if you went, but gods, how I missed you. Don't leave me the rest of your holidays.

You nodded.

That was your home.

Liar, Liar

Note: The characters in this fic are from @rufwooff 's teenage mutant ninja everything-but-turtles au. Leo is a salamander, Mikey is a toad/frog, Donnie is a gecko, and Raph is an alligator. It can sort of be read as a rise fic if you ignore the... frog stuff? But there are things that might not make sense without knowledge of the au. This post specifically inspired the fic.

Warnings (if there's anything I should add here, tell me please!): nothing, why would i ever hurt kids :)

Words: 4,647

Summary: Leo finally gets to spend a day alone with his little brother, Mikey. When things go wrong, he decides to save himself. After all, what's so bad about a little lie?

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

“Can grow to doo-ble the size in a few… h-owers…”

Leo held the small package he'd found close to his face, trying his best to read what the label said. Donnie had told him it was some kind of toy, but it just looked like a plastic whale to him. Mikey watched Leo from the bowl he was quickly outgrowing, listening intently to Leo's somewhat successful attempt at reading.

“Leave in a cup or bowl of wwwater and watch the magic!” Leo read triumphantly, holding the toy in front of him. The salamander looked over to his little brother. “We just need a cup or something to use it!”

“Wah'der!” Mikey noted wisely, bracing himself on the edge of the glass.

“Right!” Leo nodded, face turning pensive. “But I can't reach any of the cups or bowls in the kitchen, and Dad doesn't want me climbing on stuff anymore…”

“Waphie?” Mikey suggested.

“Raph's busy with Dad cooking dinner. Bo-ring.” Leo sighed. “And Donnie said he was studying today…”

“Hmm…” Mikey hummed, before his eyes lit up. “Bow’!” He squeaked, rocking his bowl side to side. “Bow’! A bow’!”

“No Mikey, we need a-” Leo caught on. “Oh, a bowl. You're a genius, Mikey!”

Mikey squeaked and squealed in response to the praise, wiggling what was left of his tail in the water. “Tank you.”

“Alright then, Mikester. You're gonna have to show off how good you are with those new legs.” Leo wrapped his arms around his baby brother's body, struggling for a moment to get a good grip with both of them having slippery skin, but he eventually hefted Mikey out of the bowl under his armpits and placed him on the stone floor. “This'll be a good oppa-tunity for you! You just gotta stay here while I fill up the bowl the rest of the way, okay?”

“Okie-dokie!” Mikey replied cheerfully, patting his newly grown hands on the floor. They had been fully developed for about a week, but he had yet to do much with them other than waving and clapping.

Taking Mikey's word without any doubt, Leo picked up the half filled bowl and carried it away to the nearby tunnel. Sure, he knew he wasn't supposed to go into the tunnels by himself. And sure, he knew he wasn't supposed to leave Mikey alone when they were playing. But Leo was a big boy! And so was Mikey! Mikey had all of his limbs now! That, Leo didn't exactly understand, because Leo always had all his limbs, just like Raph and Donnie. Mikey was just a ball with a tail and eyeballs. A tadpole, Donnie's voice reminded him. Now Mikey was a toadlet, which meant surely he was grown enough to be on his own for a few minutes.

It wasn't like Leo didn't like spending time with Mikey. He loved watching movies with him, coloring things with him, even chatting with him despite his more limited vocabulary. Mikey just… couldn't play a lot of the games Leo liked to play. Leo liked to move, and Mikey couldn't move a lot. Mikey couldn't play tag, or hide and seek, and he could only play Jupiter Jim if he was playing as Godfred, the Goldfish King. Even then, he was no fun to play with without his royal guards.

Today, Leo got to play with Mikey without supervision, a job usually reserved for his older brothers. It was a total breeze, he had found out, because Mikey was so stationary. Babies were boring, but they were easy.

Leo carried the bowl back, making sure to spill as little of the mildly murky sewer water he had collected as possible, and put it down right next to the toy he had left on the floor. Right next to the puddle where Mikey was sitting before.

Puddle?

“Boys! Come eat!”

“...spit.”

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

Leo walked into the kitchen with a nervous smile on his face, finding that Raph and Donnie were already seated with food in front of them. Both plates were filled with vegetables and meat, and Splinter was preparing two more plates with more of the same.

“Hello, Blue,” Splinter greeted, glancing around Leo's sides. “Where is your brother? I thought he was with you.”

“H-he was! He just got reeeally tired,” Leo lied, swaying on his feet and swishing his tail slowly. “So I tucked him in bed. He was really, indubitably tired.”

“You don't even know what that word means, Leo.” Donnie glared right into Leo's soul, pushing his glasses up as Leo sat down next to him.

“Yes I do! I-it means Mikey was really super tired!”

“Purple, do not be rude to your brother,” Splinter scolded. “If Orange was tired, he should sleep. He is a growing boy. Thank you, Blue, for tucking him in. He can eat later, after he wakes up.” Splinter finished preparing a plate for himself, then sat down next to his sons and began eating. “Did you all enjoy yourselves today?”

Raphael nodded. “I showed Cheech how to beat up the practice dummy right! He wasn't too good at holdin’ Raph's sais though.”

“That is very kind of you, Red. I'm sure that Cheech will improve if you keep training him.” Splinter smiled kindly.

“He won't,” Donnie whispered, leaning into Leo's ear. “Teddy bears can't do ninjutsu.”

“I think Raph can teach him, Raph's good at teaching,” Leo whispered back.

“What about you, Purple?”

Donnie straightened his posture, his tail sticking straight up for a moment, straightening his glasses again. “I actually did some very helpful research using the encyclopedia that Dad found and the book on reptiles we got a while ago.” He looked around at his brothers. “I learned a lot about our different species. I looked pretty closely into toads and frogs so I could talk to Mikey about his current state, but apparently I can't, because he fell asleep at 6 pm.” Donnie side eyed Leo questioningly.

“You can tell him about what you learned tomorrow, Purple,” Splinter said. “I'm sure whatever he and Blue did today was exhausting, was it not?” He asked, redirecting the conversation to Leo.

“Oh yeah, for sure,” Leo agreed fervently. “Me and Mike were having so much fun. Like, Mikey was having sooo much fun, he literally passed out! And I put him in bed, like a good big brother!”

“He… passed out?” Raph asked worriedly.

“Yeah! Like, knocked out hard. Totally asleep. And I tucked him in good!”

“In his tub.” Donnie raised a drawn eyebrow.

“That's right!”

“Boys, there is no need to argue about this,” Splinter said with a strained smile as the brothers finished eating and put their plates away in the sink. “We should all be happy for Blue, who has proven himself as a big brother.”

“He's sure proving something, alright…” Donnie murmured with crossed arms. 

“You can spend a little more time up, but I want you to get to bed soon as well. Meanwhile, I will be taking this opportunity to take a nice, long shower.” Splinter shook his robed arms, showcasing the small clumps of fur gathering across his body. “This stuff gets oily way faster than you would expect.”

“Don't worry Pops!” Raph said, standing absurdly tall for a child of his age and swishing his unruly tail. “I'll check on Mike, then I'll make sure Leo and Don get to sleep too! You have my word!” Raph tried to hold up a military salute, but he caught his hand on his large jaws and hit his head backwards, tail and arms flailing to make sure he didn't fall. He looked distraught for a moment, before making a show of shaking off the pain to be strong for his dad.

Splinter sighed. “Thank you, Red.”

Leo straightened up, eyes widening as he saw his brothers going toward their room,  and dashed over to the sink to drop off his own plate so he could follow. Quickly, would be preferable. 

“Blue? May I speak with you?”

Spit.

Leo stood with the most relaxed posture he could muster as he faced his dad, leaning on the countertop behind him with one elbow. “Sure, Pops!”

Splinter kneeled down in front of the salamander. “I wanted to thank you for spending the day with your little brother. I know that he is still unable to do many of the things that you can, but it is good to hear that you included him in your games anyways.”

“Oh,” Leo said, losing his fake nonchalance for a moment. “It… it was no big deal, Dad.”

“I would say it was a big deal, Leonardo.” Splinter placed a paw on Leo's shoulder, smiling softly at his son. “Once Orange hits the growth spurt he is bound to, it will be much more difficult to keep you boys from bouncing off the walls. I am glad to know I can trust you to take care of your little brother.”

Leo's heart dropped in his chest with guilt, but he kept his outward appearance well enough. Internally, he was screaming to run away and stop his brothers from reaching the bedroom. “Of course, Dad. Mikey was actually really really super fun to hang with! Not boring at all! He actually was playing way more than me, and like, he was really cool and stuff. And fun to play with,” he added carefully.

Splinter stood up, cracking his back. “That is great to hear. Now-” he clapped his hands- “to wash the gunk out of this gross fur!” 

As soon as Splinter skipped away, Leo fumbled over his feet to rush to the bedroom. He kicked his tail a few times, but ignored it in his frenzy. His brothers were already there! It was over! He would never be trusted again! Not by Raph, not by Donnie (though who really cared about that), and most importantly, not by his dad!

When Leo got to the shared bedroom, he slid on the floor to turn in the doorway as fast as possible, only to find Raph terrifyingly close to Mikey's tank.

“WAIT!”

Both of his brothers looked up at him immediately. Donnie's glare from where he sat on his bed quickly changed from confused to exhausted. “And why, dear Nardo, would Raph need to wait?”

Leo hesitated. “Well, b-because-”

“No, Leo. You've been super suspicious ever since you came to dinner.” Donnie stood up, putting the book he had in his hands down.

“No I haven't!” Leo defended. “I don't even know what that means, so I can't be that.”

“It means you've been acting weird because you're hiding something!” Donnie accused.

“Am not!” Leo defended.

“Yes, you a-”

“Guys!” Raph whispered furiously, catching the other boys’ attention. “If you're gonna fight, do it quiet. Mikey's still asleep.” The oldest brother turned away, not being able to see the despaired expression on Leo's face, and approached Mikey's corner of the room where his small tank sat.

Donnie looked back at Leo with disdain. “Whatever you're hiding, you should just cough it up. Dad doesn't like liars.”

“Well that's great, cause I'm not lying. I'm like, the least liar-est person ever.”

“Uh, Donnie?” Raph asked quietly from his spot by the tank. “Didn't you say Mikey was supposed to mecha-morph-uh.. whatever?”

“Metamorphosis. It's the process through which a tadpole becomes a frog or toad. Commonly associated with frogs and butterflies, which come from caterpillars. And technically, the word would be ‘metamorphose’, in this context.”

“I think he meta-morph-osed into a whale instead…”

Leo held his breath.

“What?” Donnie walked over to the tank, continuing to ramble. “No, he's supposed to metamorphose into a fire bellied toad, not a whale. There's no way that- GASP!” Donnie plunged his hand in the tank, coming back out with an unmistakable item. “You left his bowl in the tank?!”

“What?! I-I don't know how that got there, I swear!” Leo stammered, grabbing the hem of his shirt.

“You said you put Mikey to bed! Mikey isn't here, but his bowl is!” Donnie shouted. “You lied! You lost Mikey!”

“N-no I didn't!”

“Oh yeah? Then how did his bowl get here?”

Leo puffed his cheeks, fuming. “It wasn't even my fault! Mikey said I could use his bowl!”

Raph gasped this time, like a normal person. “You really lost Mikey?”

Leo's anger faltered at the sad face on his big brother. The reality of the situation was finally settling in. “I-I didn't mean to. I just went in the tunnel for one second-”

“You went in the tunnels?!” Raph screamed.

Leo winced. “It was just for like a second, and nothing even happened!”

“Clearly, something did happen,” Donnie interjected, putting the bowl down. “You. Lost. Mikey!”

“I did not! Mikey said-”

“GUYS!” Raph slammed his tail on the ground, scaring his brothers into attention. “Right now, Raph's gonna ignore all the rules you broke. We don't need to fight about who to blame, because Mikey is missing. He could be in danger, or worse, already hurt. We need to find him before Dad finds out.” Raph stepped closer to Leo. “Now, where did you lose Mikey?”

“I didn't lose hi-”

“Mikey was under your supervision. Now he's gone. You lost Mikey,” Donnie said sternly. “Where did you lose him?”

Leo stared down at his feet, then sighed heavily. “It was right by the tunnel entrance, by the toy room. When I came-d back in, there was just a puddle where he was sitting before.”

“A puddle?” Donnie asked.

“Yeah, that's what I just said,” Leo groaned.

“No, that could be a clue. Show us where the puddle was,” Raph urged.

“Uh, okay.” Leo turned around and walked down the hall with his brothers in tow. He couldn't help but feel their eyes glaring into his back, judging him. Hating him for lying. For putting his baby brother in danger.

Maybe he wasn't a good big brother like Dad had said. Mikey was the only little brother he had. How did he screw that up?

They reached the end of the hall, and Leo was surprised to see a little bit of dampness still on the floor, even after almost an hour. “He was right here,” he said, crouching down to look.

“Hm,” Donnie hummed, crouching down as well. “Just as I thought.” He put a finger in the spot on the ground, surprising his brothers when his hand came up with something slimy. “Mikey didn't just leave the water from his bowl, he also left mucous.”

“Mucous? Like, he snotted everywhere?” Raph questioned.

“No, it's not snot. It's mucous. Many frogs and toads produce mucous with glands on their skin that helps keep it moist. In some, it also helps them breathe through their skin,” Donnie explained.

“So, Mikey left his skin snot on the floor,” Leo gathered.

“No. It's mucous, not snot.”

“Hey, look!” Raph pointed to another spot on the floor. “More snot!”

“Follow it!” Leo said, running over to the spot and searching for more.

Donnie pinched the bridge of his snout. “Again, not snot, but okay, we have a lead.”

“Why's it in spots, and not, like, little froggy footprints?” Raph asked, following as Leo spotted more spots.

“It's possible that Mikey figured out how to hop,” Donnie said.

“Ha! So this was worth it!” Leo said, pumping a fist. “I taught Mikey how to hop!”

“Or, you taught him how to hop off a cliff and die. Or hop right into a human's home,” Donnie replied.

“Donnie…” Raph whispered.

Leo didn't respond, instead choosing to keep following the spots. There were a few he saw on the walls, which he noted curiously. They traveled all throughout the lair, slowly becoming more recent. Eventually, the brothers found a place where they entered a door.

The bathroom door, where soft singing could be heard on the other side.

“Aw, spit.”

Raph elbowed Leo's shoulder. “Dad said you shouldn't say that anymore.”

“Why? It's not a bad word. I can say it all I want! Spit, spit, spit-”

“Guys,” Donnie said, “let's worry more about the mucous going into the room where Dad is showering.”

“Oh, right.”

The trio opened the door slowly, getting facefuls of steam that fogged up Donnie's glasses, causing him to back out. Leo and Raph stuck their heads in, surveying the area. Splinter's operatic singing filled their ears, making them wince. However, in the midst of the steam filled bathroom, they spotted what they were looking for.

Mikey was perched on the edge of the sink, looking at the closed shower curtain with wide eyes.

“Mikey!” Leo whispered, getting Mikey's attention and drawing his eyes. “Hey Angelo! Come here, come to Leo!” He held his hands out, beckoning.

Mikey squeaked softly, waving at Leo, then pointing at the shower.

“Nonono, don't go there buddy, hop over here!”

Mikey grinned, then readied himself to jump straight at the curtain.

“MIKEY!”

The clattering of metal and screams of the boys cut off Splinter's singing, as Mikey hopped right onto the curtain and pulled the curtain rod down. Raph pushed past Leo into the room, catching Mikey before he fell to the floor with the curtain.

Splinter, despite being covered with soaked fur, tried to cover himself and turned the shower off. “Boys!? What is the meaning of this?!”

Raph fumbled to keep Mikey in his arms. “Sorry, Pops! Mikey was just-”

Mikey turned around in Raph's arms, reaching out to Splinter. “Hi Daddy!”

“Orange? What are you doing awake?”

“He, uh, he woke up!” Leo said, pushing in front of Raph. “We had to follow him here.”

“Follow him?” Splinter raised an eyebrow.

Raph looked at Leo, unsure.

“Yes?” Leo said nervously.

They all stood still, Leo patting his toe on the floor. He couldn't tell if he was sweating of fear, or if it was just the steam in the room. The tension felt as thick as the steam filled air.

“LEO LOST MIKEY!”

“What?!”

“DONNIE, YOU SNITCH! I DID NOT!”

“YES YOU DID! AND YOU LIED! LEO LIED!” Donnie screamed from outside the room.

“Donnie! Stop being mean to Leo!” Raph said, struggling to keep a hold on the boy in his arms. Mikey wriggled around, bracing his feet on Raph's chest and hopping off, sending himself flying into Splinter's arms while also hitting Raph's jaws shut with a clack and nearly sending Raph falling backwards.

“Orange!” Splinter caught Mikey deftly, checking him over. Then, he looked back up to his other sons. More specifically, at the one who had just been basically slapped by his own jaw. “Red, are you okay?”

Raph grunted, but nodded slowly as he held his snout.

“Good. That was very rude of you, Orange,” he said to the son in his arms. “What do you say?”

“I'm sowwy, Waphie…” Mikey mumbled with innocent eyes. Raph gave a weak thumbs up in response.

“Good job. I'm very proud of you for learning how to jump.” Splinter looked at Leo, who physically shrank.

“I-I swear, I didn't meanta lose him. We were just playing, a-and he said-”

“He can tell me what he said.”

Leo felt tears trying to force their way out behind his eyes.

Splinter sighed, dropping his shoulders. “Red,” he addressed, “make sure your brothers get to bed. With no screens,” he said, shooting a glare at the door.

“I would never!” Donnie scoffed from outside.

“I will come to tuck you in as soon as I am done with my shower. I have a feeling that Orange won't let me go without giving him a good bath, too,” he added, causing Mikey to squeak and laugh in his hold.

“No problem, Pops,” Raph said, walking toward the door.

Leo blinked, confused. Where was his scolding? Where was his slap on the wrist? This couldn't possibly be that bad, right? “B-but I-”

“Go to bed, Leonardo.”

Leo shut up fast, swallowing all of his tears and excuses. He followed Raph glumly out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Raph was standing outside with a concerned look on his face, while Donnie wore a smirk.

“I told you Dad doesn't like liars.”

Leo walked past, trying to get to the bedroom with as little eye contact as possible. Raph reached to grab his shoulder, but he shrugged it off and walked faster. Donnie's words echoed in his head.

Dad didn't like liars. Leo was a liar. Dad was the one that took care of them.

He could kick Leo out.

He'd have to live in the tunnels. Or maybe, Dad wouldn't let him live in the tunnels. He'd have to live on the surface, with the humans. The humans who wanted to catch him. Who wanted to pull him apart to see what he was made of and then piece him back together to see what he could do. He would die without his dad. He didn't want to live without his dad. Without his brothers. Without Mikey. Because he did love Mikey, even if he lied. At least he thought so.

Maybe Dad wouldn't care now. Maybe Dad didn't love him now. Leo was a liar. Dad doesn't like liars. Why would he?

Leo flopped into his bed as soon as he reached it, pulling the covers over himself and turning in to face the wall. Raph attempted to talk to him, but Leo only curled up tighter, pulling his tail up so far he could see it in front of his face.

Eventually, Raph gave up. Leo heard him softly scolding Donnie, but tried to ignore it as silent tears fell off his cheeks.

Just when he thought he was about to fall asleep, Leo heard the bedroom door opening. He wiped his face and turned slightly, seeing Splinter walk first to Donnie's bed, then to Raph's, before finally coming toward Leo's.

He noticed Mikey sitting in the doorway, who waved when he caught Leo's eyes. Leo waved back slowly.

Splinter kneeled by Leo's bedside, just like he would any other night to tuck him in. Usually, this would bring Leo warmth and comfort, reminding him that his father loved him. This time, Leo couldn't fight the sense of dread that filled his chest, making it feel like he was breathing something heavier than air. He wasn't getting tucked in. He didn't deserve that anymore. He was a liar.

Dad doesn't like liars. 

His father's eyes seemed to see right through him. “I am very upset with you, Leonardo.”

Leo tensed, but kept looking at Splinter.

“I am not upset that you lost track of your brother. You are a child, and I cannot expect you to be perfect. Do you know why I am upset?”

Leo nodded slowly, then mumbled, “Because I lied…”

“Exactly. It is because you lied. You could have told me as soon as it happened, and I would have helped you look for him. Instead, you lied and put your brother at even more risk. You could have fessed up when I saw Michelangelo in the bathroom. But yet, you still didn't. You didn't admit to your own fault. It took Donatello telling me for you to finally confess. And even then, you tried to rid yourself of all guilt.”

Leo sniffed, tearing up again. “Are you gonna kick me out?”

Splinter's eyebrows raised in shock. “What? No, I will not kick you out. Why would I ever do something so horrible?”

Something shattered.

“But… but I lied! I hurt Mikey! I-I'm a bad brother!” Leo's tears started flowing openly.

“No, no, Blue, you are okay. Shh…” Splinter rubbed his hand across Leo's face, wiping a tear away.

Leo sniffled and hiccuped, holding onto the back of Splinter's hand and softly sobbing. “I'm sorry, Dad, I-I didn't want to…”

Splinter rubbed his son's cheek, hushing him quietly. “I know. But that does not change what you did.” He looked deeply into his son's eyes, ensuring he had his full attention. “I forgive you, but this cannot go without punishment. I will not kick you out, and I never would. You are my son. Instead, you will be grounded for a month.”

Leo whined, but nodded. “Okay…”

“However, I believe that taking away the things that bring you joy will not make you learn the lesson that you need to learn. That is why, during this month, you will not be disallowed from doing anything in our home. Do you understand that?”

Leo nodded.

“The only caveat is that you must spend the entire month with your brother, Michelangelo. You will only do things that he wants to do. You will not plant ideas in his head or put words in his mouth. You will only do things that he says he wants to do. If he ever wants to spend time away from you, you will spend that time with me. Do you understand?”

“Mhm.” Leo nodded again.

“Perfect.” Splinter smiled. “I forgive you for this, and I hope that through this grounding period you can regain my trust.”

Leo smiled as well and nodded one last time, wiping one last tear with the heel of his hand. “I hope so too.”

Splinter turned to the doorway and waved Mikey over with his hand. Mikey grinned and hopped over, much quicker than Leo had expected. He stopped at Leo's bedside, slowly using the bed to brace himself as he stood up on shaky legs, then looked at his father.

“Tell Blue what you told me, Orange.”

Mikey wobbled for a second, then looked up at Leo. “I, um, I'm sowwy I went away when you said not go away. And I'm sowwy, um, I jumped at Daddy when you said not to do… And, um, I wwwanted to s'eep in a big boy bed tonight, cause imma big boy now, but I don't got a big boy bed, can I s’eep wi’ you.” Mikey finished the sentence like a statement, not a question, but his intention was clear.

Leo looked for just a second at his dad, who nodded encouragingly, before looking back at his little brother. “Sure, Mike. Hop on up here.”

Mikey did just that, with more force than Leo had expected. “Wow, Angelo, you've really got good legs now!” Leo said, catching Mikey in his arms and helping tuck him into the blankets. Meanwhile, Splinter walked to Mikey's tank and came back with his bowl and a towel.

“Alright, boys. Orange, your bowl will be right here if you need to soak, and your tank will be there if you want it.” Splinter pulled the blanket up, kissing each boy on the forehead. He cringed and wiped his lips after kissing Mikey, making the boy squeak and giggle. “Sleep well, my big boys. I am so proud of you, and I love you.”

“Love you too, Dad,” both boys chorused. Mikey snuggled into Leo's chest, letting Leo hold him like a stuffed animal. Leo only flinched for a moment at the slimy feeling of Mikey's skin (mucous, not snot).

Splinter walked out of the room, and it was barely even 20 seconds after he heard the door close that Leo heard a whisper coming from beside him.

“I'm sowwy, ‘eo,” Mikey murmured.

Leo looked down at his brother, confused. “You already said sorry. You don't gotta say it again.”

“But I said sowwy then cause Dad said,” Mikey explained. “Now, I said sowwy cause Mikey said.”

“Oh.” Leo settled back in, putting his chin on Mikey's head. “Well, I'm really sorry too. And that's cause Leo said,” he added, smirking.

Mikey giggled and squeezed Leo tightly, wiggling beneath the sheets. In a matter of minutes, the young amphibian had completely fallen asleep, slightly drooling on Leo's pillow. He didn't mind.

Leo grabbed onto Mikey and closed his eyes as well.

He never wanted to let go again.

Did I tell myself I would write au comp propaganda? Yes. Did I write a fic about an au completely unrelated to the comp? Yes, and I'm not sorry. I figured since another round finished up today, why not post something?

For real, I've had some insane art block recently, and writing has been keeping me sane. I tried writing propaganda, hated it, then realized, you know what makes me feel better every time? Turtle tots.

In this case, everything-but-turtle tots.

Shoutout to @rufwooff for making one of the most serotonin filled aus I've seen in a while, and fueling my exhaustion-induced writing spree. And go check out @tmntaucompetition! We're getting closer to the end! AAH!

Minors dni

If anyone had told Leo that today would be the day he would lose his virginity, he would have laughed in their face.

Of course, he had thought about it, fantasized about it even, wondering what it would be like when he finally let his boyfriends take his virginity. It wouldn't be new to them, Leo knew they were having sex regularly when it was just the two of them alone, not wanting to make Leo uncomfortable but also wanting to take care of each other's needs while they waited. Leo was fine with that, he didn't mind that they didn't wait for him to be ready before getting with each other, he understood. He had almost asked to join them a couple times, but anxiety plagued his mind before he could, and he ultimately decided that he just wasn't ready yet.

At least, he had thought he wasn't ready.

But something had changed over the past few weeks. He wasn't sure what it was, it's not like anything was different between him and his boyfriends. He just thought it was one of those times where he was super horny for no reason, but that it would fade away after a couple days. However, as the weeks went on his feelings didn't change. In fact, they only seemed to get worse. 

He tried to take care of himself on his own, but it wasn't enough, not anymore. Not even when he tried to pretend that his fingers belonged to one of his boyfriend's, who would have been able to reach much farther inside him then he was able to. Any anxiety he had when thinking about sex previously had seemingly dissipated. His fingers weren't cutting it anymore, he needed his boyfriend's. He needed to feel them inside of him, needed them to dick him down until he was too tired to cum anymore, needed them to touch him, grab him, anything to relieve him of his pent up desires. 

But he had no clue how to bring up his little problem to them without feeling extremely awkward, so he kept it to himself, either waiting for an opportunity to present itself, or waiting for his constant lust to die down a little.

It had been a regular date night with his boyfriends. The trio had gone out to eat, and as usual, Rain was extremely touchy, draping himself over both Leo and Micah whenever he got the chance. Normally Leo enjoyed his affections, but now, every single touch, no matter how slight, was igniting a fire in his gut. The flame intensified when Micah grabbed Leo's hand on the way out of the restaurant, his warm palm practically searing Leo's skin. It certainly didn't help that Micah's hand's were much bigger than his own, leaving the poor, flustered man to imagine what it would feel like to have them run down his exposed skin. He tried to ignore the heat building in his stomach (and his face), but the more his boyfriends brushed against him, the more his mind began to wander...

"Dude, you doing alright? You're spacing out again!"

"Hmm?" Leo quickly turned his head as Rain's voice broke him out of his lewd thoughts, embarrassed. "Sorry, what did you say?" He hoped his face wasn't as red as it felt.

"I didn't say anything, but you're staring at the wall again. Seriously, are you ok? You're more quiet than you usually are." Rain inquired, sitting up a little on Leo's bed. He gently grabbed Leo's hand, rubbing it in what was meant to be a supportive manner, but all it did was make Leo want to scream in frustration. He had hoped that arriving back at his apartment meant he could try to take care of himself without bothering his partners, but that went out the window when Rain had asked if they could stay the night.

So now they were here, snuggled up in Leo's bed, and he had never felt more desperate and pent up in his life. Of course tonight would be the night they stayed over, of course it was! God, he wanted to yell, but he couldn't, so he suffered in silence. "I'm fine, just got a lot on my mind. Sorry for staring off." He replied sheepishly, internally kicking himself for how unconvincing he sounded.

Micah hummed from behind Leo, his chest pressed against Leo's back. "Anything worth sharing?" His fingers wove their way between the short, wavy strands of hair on Leo's head, a motion that both soothed and annoyed Leo further. 

"Not really," he mumbled, still too nervous to admit to his boyfriends what was on his mind. What if he told them and they weren't in the mood? He would have made things awkward for the rest of the night, they might even leave if they were uncomfortable enough. He hated the idea of upsetting the men he loved most, so he opted to stay silent. Feeling defeated, he laid his head back on Micah's chest, trying his hardest to forget his horniness.

Leo could feel the bed shift next to him, reopening his eyes when he felt Rain's bony hand drag him back up into a sitting position. Before he could question what he was doing, Rain grabbed his face with both hands and planted a kiss right on his lips, coming back up and grinning widely at the stunned look on Leo's face. "You're always thinking," he sighed, his tone almost whiny. "Don't you ever get a break?" His face suddenly shifted into an expression of concern. "Is your anxiety acting up again? I thought your meds were working?"

Leo could feel Micah stiffening up a little behind him, also concerned. He hesitated, not wanting to lie, but not wanting to tell them about his...issue. "Yeah, a little bit." He admitted, looking down at his hands. "But I'm fine, I promise! It's not too bad, I can deal with it. Don't worry about it, please." The longer Rain gazed at him, the hotter he felt his face become. 

Rain seemed unconvinced, but didn't question him any further. Instead, he softly nudged Leo's chin up with his thumb and forefinger, forcing him to look him in the eye. "Do you need a distraction?" he breathed, his lips barely hovering over Leo's. 

Leo paused. This was a dangerous path, especially with how lustful he was feeling currently, but he desperately wanted to feel some sort of closeness to his partner's, even if it wasn't exactly what he needed. Deciding he was willing to risk even more bothered later, he whispered out a soft "please," his eyes betraying how needy he was.

Rain pressed his lips back onto Leo's, slowly moving his lips against his boyfriend's before becoming more desperate, his tongue eagerly swiping against Leo's bottom lip. Leo obliged, opening his mouth enough for Rain to slip his tongue in and deepen the kiss. 

A small huff of surprise left Leo's mouth when he felt Micah attach his lips the the sensitive skin on his neck, lightly sucking on one spot before pulling back to admire the mark he'd made. After a second had passed, he reattached his lips, sucking hickeys and bruises into Leo's skin.

Leo had to hold himself back from moaning and whining. Sure, this wasn't the first time he'd been marked up (both of his boyfriend's could get pretty possessive when they wanted to), but he was never this needy, and it never went any further than that. He wished it would though, he could feel his arousal growing with every second. Some distraction. But any composure he had left the second Micah's hands wandered down to his stomach, lifting his shirt enough so they could slip underneath and press down on the exposed skin. The feeling of Micah's large hands enveloping his stomach, the pressure, it was all too much...

Before he could catch himself, a lewd whine left Leo's lips, loud enough for all three of them to hear. Both Micah and Rain stopped what they were doing almost immediately, Rain pulling away slightly so he could look at Leo's face. Leo quickly snapped his mouth shut, hoping to possibly play off what just happened, but he couldn't hide how he was feeling anymore. His face was flushed red, his eyes half-lidded with obvious lust as he panted, trying to catch his breath while actively avoiding looking Rain in the eye.

"Holy shit." Micah said, embarrassing Leo even further. He was glad that at the very least Micah couldn't see his face, he didn't know what he would do if both of his boyfriends saw how pathetic he was.

"Babe." Rain said softly, trying to catch Leo's eye. "Baby look at me." 

Slowly, as if afraid of what he would find, Leo looked up at Rain, shame and embarrassment shining in his eyes. He ruined it. He made them uncomfortable, he knew he did. He couldn't keep his stupid noises to himself, and now they were going to leave.

"Baby, do you... do you want to go a little further than we normally do?" Rain gently asked, trying to rest his palm on the side of Leo's face. Leo turned his head, too ashamed to continue looking at his partner.

Embarrassment flooded through him at the question, although he wasn't sure why. He wanted this so badly, why were his nerves suddenly catching up to him now? I mean, he was still worried that Micah and Rain didn't want to do anything and that he had just made everyone feel awkward, but other than that, what did he have to feel shameful for? 

"Yeah." Leo finally answered after a moment, still avoiding eye contact. "Yeah, I do. That's why I've been spacing out all day. It's been one my mind for weeks, but I didn't know how to bring it up, and I didn't want to make either of you uncomfortable if you weren't in the mood or if you didn't want to do anything with me at all, and-"

"Hey, hold on!" Rain interrupted, both worried and offended. "Who said we don't want to have sex with you?" Rain turned Leo's face back towards him, but he still refused to make eye contact. "Sweetheart?"

A couple beats of silence passed before Micah spoke up, knowing full well Leo had no intention of answering. "Leo, you're one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen. Why wouldn't we want to be with you like that? " 

Leo bit the inside of his cheek, fiddling with the sleeves of his shirt as he searched for an answer. "I don't know... I just don't think I'm attractive in that way I guess. I don't think I'm... hot enough, at least, not the way you two are. Plus, you both have experience with this and I don't. What if... what if I'm bad at this? What if I can't make you feel good? I don't want to disappoint you, but I also don't know what I'm doing." 

"Oh baby," Micah sighed out, grabbing the hand Leo was fiddling with and holding in comfortingly. "You have no idea how attractive you are, do you?" He made eye contact with Rain, who looked just as bewildered as Micah felt. Did Leo not know how much they had wanted this? How often they talk about how much they wished their third would join them? Did he never suspect that both of them often jerked off to the thought of him, pretending that their hand (or the others hand) was his mouth, his hand, his cunt? Man, they really had failed at showing him just how wanted he was. 

Leo shook his head, skeptical of Micah's words. Nobody had ever wanted him before, why would that have changed? He wanted to tell his partners this, but Rain leaned forward once again, snatching Leo's hand and pressing it against his clothed crotch. To Leo's surprise, he felt a rather large bulge poking against his hand, and was even more surprised when Rain let out a small "mmph" noise at the contact.

"Oh yeah?" Rain huffed against Leo's lips, a challenge in his voice. "You aren't sexually attractive? Then tell me sweet boy, how'd this happen?" He rubbed Leo's hand up and down the outline of his hard dick, his breathing heavy. "You have no idea how arousing you are sometimes, it's kinda cute how you haven't realized that yet. We've wanted you so badly for so long, we just never told you in detail because we didn't want you to feel pressured into doing anything." He removed Leo's hand from his crotch and grabbed his face, looking him dead in the eye. "I'm gonna ask you again, and this time, I don't want you to worry about your experience, or how you think you look. Do you want to have sex with us, right now?" 

Leo swallowed, his face and core burning hot. He couldn't believe this was happening, he couldn't believe how enthusiastic his boyfriends were. "Yes. Please, I want this more than anything else."  A shaky breath left his lips, no longer trying to hide his need.

Rain smirked, his eyes half closed as he leaned closer to Leo's face. "Good boy." he whispered, before pressing his lips back onto Leo's. Micah took that as his cue to reattach himself to Leo's neck, sucking much more vigorously than he had before. Leo and Rain continued to kiss until Leo pulled away, a trail of saliva briefly connecting the two while they both gasped for air.

Micah continued marking up Leo's neck, only separating when Rain slowly pulled the smaller man's shirt over his head, leaving his stomach exposed and his chest covered with only a binder.

Leo's nervousness began to catch up to him now that he was semi-exposed, but it slowly dissipated as Rain brought his lips to his bare stomach, leaving a trail of kisses from his tummy to the faint scars littering his torso to his still-clothed chest, then to his throat and finally to his lips. Leo had to stop himself from moaning into Rain's lips as his cold hands began to travel their way up to his chest.

"Can I..." Rain trailed off, tugging at the edge of Leo's binder. Leo hesitated for a moment, but a particularly harsh suck on his neck from Micah had him enthusiastically nodding his head.

Slowly, his binder was lifted off of him and over his head, the cold air immediately hitting his hardened nipples. Rain stopped and stared down at Leo's chest for a couple of seconds, but those seconds might as well have been minutes for the nervous man as he fought the urge to cover his chest with his arms.

All of Leo's insecurities came flooding back to him at that moment. What if his boyfriend's stopped seeing him as a man after this? Sure, they knew he was trans, and yeah, he still had some feminine features that he felt impacted his ability to pass, but this was different. They had never seen his body before. Maybe this would change how they saw him, now that they could actually see how different his body was from theirs. What if they were disgusted with him now that they know what he looks like? They would leave him for sure, especially since Rain is gay, he wouldn't want to be with someone who has this body, any moment now they would get up and leave-

A sudden warmth on Leo's chest pulled him away from his thoughts, but before he could look down, Rain smashed his lips onto Leo's, bringing him into a heated kiss. 

Rain squeezed Leo's tits before moving his thumbs to rest on top of his boyfriend's nipples, rubbing them in a steady circular motion as he continued to make out with his lover. A smirk formed on his face as Leo let out an involuntary moan into his mouth, the shorter man arching his back and pushing his chest even further into Rain's hands.

Eventually, the pair broke apart, Leo panting as they separated.

Rain removed his hands from his boyfriend's chest and placed them on the either side of his face, Leo immediately melting into the gentle touch. At some point, Leo realized Micah's arms had wrapped around his stomach, keeping him pressed firmly to his other boyfriend's body while he and Rain had their moment.

Leo looked back at the black haired boy in front of him, who had the most lovesick expression plastered on his face.

"You are the most beautiful boy I've ever seen." Rain said, adoration dripping from his voice. Leo felt tears spring to his eyes as an uncontrollable smile crossed his face at his boyfriend's words. 

The sound of a voice clearing made both boys turn to look at Micah, a look of mock offense plastered across his face as he glared at Rain.

"Excuse me, what about me?" he said, putting on a haughty voice.

Rain rolled his eyes and smacked his ginger boyfriend on the arm. "Ok, ok, you're both the most beautiful boys I've ever seen, is that good enough for you?" He mocked.

Micah nodded, drawing Leo closer to his chest. "Much better." He affirmed. 

Rain turned back to his brunette boyfriend and pressed their foreheads together, both basking in the physical touch. Before Rain pulled away, he kissed Leo quickly and smiled at him.

"Thank you for trusting us enough to see you like this." He whispered.

Leo said nothing, only smiling as he squeezed Rain's hand.

Micah, who had been watching his lover's up to this point, turned Leo's attention to him as he grabbed his boyfriend's chin and brought him into a slow but passionate kiss. His tongue swiped Leo's lip, causing the man to open his mouth enough to let Micah deepen the kiss. His hands found their way up to Leo's cheeks, gently cupping them as his boyfriend wrapped his arms around his neck.

Using the distraction to his advantage, Rain lowered his head and wrapped his lips around one of Leo's nipples and lightly sucked on it, gauging his reaction. He took his boyfriend's muffled moan as a sign to continue, and he began to suck and bite at one of Leo's breasts while rubbing and squeezing the other.

Both of Leo's boyfriend's thrived off of the muffled whines and moans their partner was letting out from Rain's motions, motivating the slender man to thrust his hips into Leo's as he played with his chest, drawing an even louder groan from the boy. He continued to grind their hips together, Leo steadily copying his movements, as he let out a hum against his lover's chest, which only seemed to stimulate the topless man more.

Rain vigorously continued his movements for a while, but suddenly pulled away from his partner's body when the noise's coming from Leo became more desperate and the grinding motions of his hips more erratic. Leo let out a frustrated groan from the loss of stimulation, his impending orgasm fading away, but Rain shushed him, grabbing his chin and turning the smaller boy's face away from Micah.

"Shhh baby, I promise we'll make you cum as many times as you want, but not yet. We don't want to tire you out too quickly." Rain soothed. "We still need to get you ready to take us."

As he spoke, Rain placed his fingers in between Leo's stomach and the waistband of his pants, looking up at the flustered man for permission. Leo nodded desperately, and Rain wasted no time unbuttoning and unzipping his lover's black jeans, throwing them to the floor and leaving Leo in nothing but his boxers. 

Rain couldn't help the smirk that crossed his face when he saw the sizable wet patch staining the front of Leo's boxer's. He ran a finger over the damp area, feeling the slight jump of Leo's hips as he did so. 

"Damn babe, we haven't even touched you down here yet and you're this wet?" Rain's smile only grew as he watched Leo's face turn about fifty shades of red, the embarrassed boy hiding his face behind his hands. "I can't wait to see how wet you are without anything covering you." 

"Shut up." Leo stuttered out, his reply muffled by his hands. Rain chuckled, once again grabbing the waistband of his boyfriend's remaining clothes. His impatience got the better of him, and without any warning he yanked the boxers down Leo's legs, exposing him to the cold air.

"Woah." Rain said, looking down at Leo's lower half in wonder. Leo didn't expect that reaction, but before he could as if it was a good "woah" or a bad "woah", Rain got on his knees and brought his fingers to the man's glistening pussy, looking at it with interest. He spread the lips of Leo's cunt apart with his fingers, but he didn't make any other moves. He simply sat there, looking curiously at it, slowly feeling his way around the organ.

Leo, for the second time, opened his mouth to ask Rain what he was doing, but was again cut off by the curious man poking his clitoris, drawing a surprised gasp from his mouth.

Rain smiled. "Found the clit." He said smugly, proud of himself and the reaction he caused.

"Dude, what the actual fuck are you doing?" Micah asked the kneeling man, completely bewildered and trying not to laugh at what was going on. Leo had to agree, it was almost like he was getting inspected rather than having sex. 

I'm trying to figure that out, I've never seen one of these before! Give me some grace dude." Rain replied, continuing his staring contest with Leo's vagina, Micah's question not slowing his exploration of the foreign organ. 

Micah let out a loud snort, which he tried to stifle upon receiving a glare from the uncomfortable man leaning on his chest. Leo looked back down at Rain and swiftly closed his legs, smacking his thighs together and trapping Rain's hand where it was. 

"Hey!" Rain yelped, surprised. "What was that for?"

"One of these?" Leo mocked his words, making air quotes with his fingers. His voice dripped with fake anger and amusement. "You're staring my genital's dead in the face and you're calling it 'one of these'? And stop poking me!"

Leo opened his legs again and Rain drew his hand back, a look of offense plastered on his face. "Sorry! But what was I supposed to say? Ah yes, what a fine pussy you have here, let me just part these lips real quick so I can see what's going on-"

Rain was cut off by Leo's foot colliding with his chest, soft enough to not hurt but hard enough to shut him up. Micah was full on giggling at this point, his shoulders shaking as he tried to quiet himself in hopes of sparing himself from Leo's wrath. Rain was also laughing, and Leo had to cover his mouth to block the other two from seeing his smile, still trying to seem annoyed.

The smaller boy felt the warmth of Micah's body leave him as his long-haired boyfriend began to stand up, moving Leo off of him as he stood and removed his shirt off of his body. 

Leo couldn't help but stare. The larger man's torso and arms were muscular, not as defined as a complete gym nut's muscles would be, but it was still pretty noticeable. His chest was spangled with well-trimmed orange hairs, and looking down, Leo could see longer hairs forming a happy trail down Micah's stomach. He could feel saliva flooding his mouth the second he laid eyes on it. Micah's long, wavy hair fell onto his bare back, still in the low ponytail he was wearing earlier, and Leo briefly wondered how he had managed to get with someone this beautiful.

You're staring." Rain teased, breaking Leo out of his thoughts. He was met with another soft kick to the chest, causing the man to let out another small laugh.

"Swap places with me." Micah ordered, walking to the foot of the bed and helping Rain up. The black-haired man went to protest, but Micah cut him off. "Let me do this, you clearly have no idea what you're doing. I do."

Rain grumbled, but walked over to the side of the bed and sat down, slotting himself behind Leo's back and pulling him into his clothed chest. Rain leaned back, bringing Leo with him, until they were both lying against the headboard. Leo could feel his boyfriend's bulge on the small of his back, and he resisted the urge to wiggle around solely to tease the lanky boy.

Micah knelt down on the carpet in front of the bed, leaning his upper half onto the bed and pulling Leo down enough so he could reach his crotch. He began kissing up Leo's legs, sucking on the skin of his thighs as he made his way up. 

"Open up these legs for me my love." Micah requested, continuing to work his way up Leo's thighs. The term of endearment sent a wave of warmth through Leo's stomach as he spread his legs, allowing Micah to see all of him for the first time.

"Oh fuck baby." Micah whispered, his blue eyes flicking up to meet Leo's. "You're so fucking beautiful. I can't wait to taste you."

With that said, the orange-haired boy left one last kiss on Leo's thigh before diving into his pussy.

He licked a stripe up his lover's slit, his nose bumping into Leo's clit as he began to tongue fuck his partner. He went slow at first, leaving little kitten licks to his boyfriend's hole and clit while studying the man's reactions, trying to figure out what felt the best.

It certainly felt good to Leo, his heavy breaths and little sighs made that clear, but it wasn't enough for him. He needed more. The stimulation he was getting wasn't nearly enough.

Micah sensed his boyfriend's need and became more aggressive, flattening his tongue on Leo's nub firmly before flicking the muscle upwards as his mouth closed around the bundle of nerves, sucking harshly on his clit and repeating the process. 

This seemed to do the trick, as Leo's moans became more pronounced, his thighs instantly widening a bit to give the larger man more access. Micah grabbed his partner's hips as Leo began to thrust them towards his mouth, holding the man steady as he continued to make out with his lover's cunt. 

Micah could feel his cock growing painfully hard with every twitch and moan his boyfriend made, letting out a low groan when Leo's hips continued bucking up desperately into his mouth despite the hold he had on them. 

"Oh fuck!" Leo whined, the vibrations of his lover's voice sending waves of pleasure through him. "Keep doing that, God you feel so good!"

Micah, ever the pleaser, indulged his boyfriend, encouraged by the reaction he was causing. His own small groans and hums of arousal joined Leo's, almost drowning out the obscene slurping noises he was making. 

Leo threw his head back onto Rain's shoulder, his hands making claw-like shapes as they searched desperately for anything to grab onto, anything to ground the overwhelmed man. Rain took notice of this and grabbed one of them, holding it firmly, and moved the other one so it rested on Micah's head. As needy as Leo was, he hesitated to grab his boyfriend's hair, so Rain rested his fingers on top of Leo’s and curled them into the orange strands himself.

"You won't hurt him, I promise." Rain reassured, moving his head so it leaned against Leo's. "In fact, he's into having his hair pulled a little. It tells him how good he's making you feel."

Micah let out an approving hum into Leo's cunt, causing the boy to tug his orange locks gently in pleasure.

A small groan next to his head pulled Leo enough out of the pleasure-filled haze in his brain to become more aware of what was going on around him, and he noticed that it was more than just his own muscles making his hips move upwards. 

"Mm sorry." Rain huffed out, his pupils blown out wide with lust as his half-lidded eyes gazed at Leo's face. "I couldn't help it, you two look so hot right now, it was driving me crazy." He continued to hump Leo's lower back as he spoke, causing the smaller boy's hips to jump slightly with each thrust. 

Leo's attention was quickly brought back to the boy between his legs as he felt Micah's tongue slip into his slick hole, his orgasm slowly building up in his stomach. He continued to ride the man's tongue, making sure to move his hips so that his ass bumped against Rain's clothed bulge, causing the pale man behind him to let out breathy grunts each time they made contact.

Rain's grunts turned to needy whine's his hips bucking furiously into Leo's ass, and he pressed his cheek against Leo's in an attempt to gain more physical contact. He wrapped his free arm around Leo's shoulder and held the man to him tightly, wanting to be as close to his lover as possible.

Leo reveled in the physical touch, slumping even more into his lover's embrace as the pleasure began to overwhelm him. It was comforting to have someone hold him while he was this vulnerable, it gave him a sense of safety and love to know someone was there, caring for him when he was this exposed. Not to mention how much it turned him on that they were both losing themselves to pleasure together.

"I need you so badly." The lanky man grunted, chest heaving with the effort of his movements . "But this'll work in the meantime." He groaned again. "Shit, keep moving your hips, just like that baby..."

Leo's orgasm was approaching quickly now, his thrusting becoming more erratic and his whines becoming higher in pitch. Micah picked up on this and began sucking more rapidly, removing his tongue from his boyfriend's hole and instead using it to rub circles on his boyfriend's swollen clit. Leo's whole body tensed up at the motion, a clear indicator of what was coming.

"Fuck Micah, I think I'm gonna cum..." Leo's shaky voice trailed off as his orgasm hit him, his body clenching up as sheer pleasure washed over him. Micah stuck his tongue back in Leo's hole right as the boy's climax peaked, letting out a low moan when his boyfriend's hole pulsed around the slippery muscle, sticky liquid beginning to cling to his mouth. Leo gripped Rain's hand tighter as he rode out his high, the taller boy gripping him tightly while continuing to buck his hips into the smaller boy's ass. 

Leo closed his eyes as he rode out his orgasm, clinging to the comforting warmth Rain radiated as he waited for the intense pleasure he was experiencing to die down. Once he felt his body calm it’s twitching a bit, he reopened his eyes, breathing heavily as he took a second to recover.

That second however, was cut short by Micah once again lapping at Leo's folds, making the limp man gasp from the overstimulation.

"Shit, it's too much..." Leo slurred, the overstimulation making his legs twitch again. Micah didn't stop however, continuing to run his tongue over Leo's hole for a couple more seconds before leaning back on his knees and licking his lips, his chin and mouth covered in Leo's sticky cum.

"You taste so good when you cum, my love." Micah's voice had lowered with lust, and a pang of need shot through Leo at the sound. "I just wanted to clean you up a bit, there's gonna be enough of a mess as is later."

Micah wiped the slick off of his mouth with the back of his hand, and then crawled up to where Leo was resting against Rain. He grabbed the tired boy's face, and pressed a quick kiss to his lips, pulling away after a moment and smiling down at him.

Micah was about to say something more but before he could, Rain let out a loud whimper from beside Leo, his hips finally stilling as he clung to the boy on his lap, letting out labored breaths. 

Both boy's watched Rain as he came down from his own high, His head still leaning on Leo's. The shorter boy squeezed Rain's hand as he panted, kissing him on the cheek and stroking his black hair with his free hand. Micah leaned forward again and pressed his lips to the trembling man's forehead, staying like that until he'd calmed down enough to open his dark eyes and raise his head.

"You couldn't wait a little longer to get off?" Micah teased, a fond smile playing on his lips.

Rain smirked and shook his head. "Nope. You two got me all hot and bothered. You should have heard yourselves." He turned his head to look at Leo, kissing his forehead affectionately. "Especially you, sweet boy."

Leo's face erupted into red at Rain's words, embarrassment flooding his brain. "Was I that loud?"

"Mmmm a little bit, but that's a good thing. I love your little noises, can't believe I survived without hearing them before." Rain hummed, resting his chin on the brunette's head.

Micah looked back at the smaller man, who was still slumped against Rain, but otherwise, seemed to have recovered from his previous orgasm. :How are you feeling?" He asked softly, resting his hand on Leo's cheek.

"I'm ok. I feel good...really good actually." Leo laughed, leaning into the touch. "You felt amazing, how many times have you done this?"

Micah chuckled. "A couple of times, but I've never cared for any of those people as much as I care for you two." 

Leo looked down Micah's body and noticed the massive bulge in his pants, suddenly feeling a little guilty. He and Rain had both cum at least once each, but Micah, who had spent most of their time together pleasuring Leo, still remained untouched. 

"Do you... do you want me to help you with that?" Leo swallowed, still looking down at Micah's clothed crotch. He's never given head before, and he was a little nervous about choking or not doing it right, but hey, he had to learn sometime right? Besides, it's not like he didn't want to. He desperately wanted to make Micah feel good, and thought of being able to taste him made his mouth water and his stomach flip with desire.

"Hmm? Oh, don't worry about it, It'll get taken care of eventually." Micah replied, seemingly unbothered by how hard he was.

Leo blinked in surprise. "Really? But you ate me out, don't you want me to return the favor?"

Micah smiled lovely, stroking Leo's cheek with his thumb. "Trust me sweet thing, I would love to feel your lips around my cock, but what I want more than that is to make you feel better than you ever have, especially during your first time. Today's about you, we can focus on me another time, ok?"

"Besides..." His eyes darkened with lust, his voice dropping once again. "I don't know how much longer I can wait to make you mine. I need to be inside you so bad it hurts. The less detours we take, the better."

Heat pooled in Leo's stomach at Micah's possessive words, and he nodded frantically, just as desperate to have his boyfriend inside of him. "Please, I need you so bad." He whispered, looking up into Micah's eyes.

Micah smiled, pulling away from Leo. He sat up on his knees and signaled Rain to sit up a bit, pulling Leo up with him. "Not quite yet love, I still need to get you ready to take me, it's gonna hurt if I don't." 

Leo sighed in frustration, but Micah just shushed him gently, spreading his needy boyfriend's legs apart once again.

Rain snickered from behind Leo, once again leaning his head on the other man's. "He's right baby, you gotta be a little patient. Micah's not exactly small."

"That's rich coming from you." Leo muttered, but before he could say anything else, he felt a long, thick finger enter him, sliding in easily thanks to how wet he was. A yelp of surprise left his throat.

Micah curled his index finger inside Leo, feeling around. "Shit baby, you're so tight." He paused a second, still feeling around. "...And wet. But not wet enough." 

The palm of Micah's hand pressed against Leo's swollen clit, steadying the man's hand as he readied himself. "I'm gonna stretch you out a little bit, ok? Let me know if anything hurts." Leo nodded in conformation, and Micah began thrusting his finger in and out of his partner, slowly at first, but gradually becoming faster.

It felt a little strange to Leo at first, he wasn't used to anything being in him, but it didn't hurt either. Eventually, it started feeling good to the boy, but it wasn't enough just yet.

After a couple of seconds, Micah slowly inserted another finger, slowly thrusting the two experimentally. This was a tighter fit, and Leo wasn't even sure he'd be able to take another finger after this. He let out a low noise as Micah began carefully spreading his digits apart, spreading the small ring of muscle inside of Leo so much so that he was afraid something would snap.

But nothing did, and eventually the uncomfortableness turned to pleasure, more intense than before. He could feel himself loosening up a little bit, and so could Micah, because a third finger soon joined the other two.

Leo arched his back in pleasure, his walls stretching to accommodate the new appendage. Micah continued to thrust his fingers in and out, occasionally spreading them a bit to make more room. He ground his palm further into Leo's clit, keeping a steady pressure on it.

"That's it, my love." Micah softly said, eyes focused on the mess Leo was making on his fingers. "You're doing so well, just a little bit more ok?' 

Leo felt the praise go straight to his crotch, more clear liquid beginning to drip down Micah's fingers.

Eventually, Leo felt another orgasm build up in his stomach, and he came with a groan, leaning on Rain for support as he rode Micah's finger's. This orgasm wasn't as intense as the first, but it still took a moment for him to recover, legs shaking as Micah pulled his fingers out of him, leaving him empty.

A whine left the trembling man's throat, but Micah shushed him, sucking Leo's spend right off his fingers.

"Shhh baby boy, You're not gonna be empty for long, I promise." Micah reassured his lover, standing up. "I think you're ready now."

Micah stood up off the bed and began removing his pants, leaving him in nothing but boxers. Leo noticed there was already a small stain of what he assumed to be pre-cum on the front of them. Micah slowly lowered the last remaining piece of clothing off of himself, his dick finally springing free from its confines.

Leo could feel a rush of saliva coat his mouth as he stared in awe at his boyfriend's dick. Micah's cock stood proud against his stomach, pre-cum beading at the tip, threatening to spill down the side. It was a lot bigger than Leo imagined it would be, standing at what he believed was a solid 8-9 inches, he wasn't really sure. He figured that Micah would be big, I mean the man was a foot taller than Leo for fuck's sake, but good lord, he was massive. It was the same color as the rest of Micah's skin except for a pale blue vein that ran up the side and the tip, which was a dark pink color, probably a darker shade than normal because of how hard he was. His pubes were as neatly trimmed as the hairs on his chest, maybe a little longer but certainly not un-groomed. Micah's balls hung heavy underneath his shaft, also neatly groomed.

"You're staring again." Rain teased, using his hand to close Leo's slightly open mouth. The shorter boy felt his voice die in his throat as he continued to stare, trying to fathom how that was going to fit inside him. 

"You ok love?" Micah's concerned voice broke the nervous man out of his thoughts. Leo realized his silence was probably extremely off putting to the now fully naked man, who was waiting for him to say something.

"I don't know how you're going to fit inside of me." He breathed, still in shock at what he was seeing. 

Micah laughed at his boyfriend's dumbfounded face, smiling gently. "I promise it'll fit, we just have to go slow, ok? It's gonna be fine, I promise."

"I can confirm." Rain chimed in, smirking to himself. "I had the same reaction but I took it just fine! Still do." 

"Not helpful Rain." Micah sighed, giving the lanky boy a disapproving glance before looking back at his nervous boyfriend. He placed a comforting hand on the boy's thigh. "Do you still want to do this?"

As nervous as Leo was, he couldn't deny how turned on the sight of Micah's dick made him. He needed his lover inside of him, the consequences be damned. "Yes." He said, his voice steady. "I want this so badly, please fuck me."

"Good." Micah grabbed his lover's body off of Rain and laid him down next to their pale boyfriend, so that he was lying flat on his back. Rain took the hint and scooted to the side to give the two more room.

Micah crawled over Leo's smaller body, holding himself up by his arms as he lined the tip of his dick up with Leo's dripping entrance. "Are you 100% sure you want to do this? I'll stop at any point if you need me to, but I need you to be sure this is what you want." Micah spoke, concern and need evident in his voice.

Leo smiled up at the worried boy and nodded. "I'm sure. I want you, I want to do this with you, and with Rain. I trust and love you so much, there's no one I'd rather have with me right now than you two. Please, I need you so badly baby, I need you in me right now."

"Just... be gentle. Please." Leo trailed off, mentally preparing himself for what to come.

"Of course my love, I'll be as gentle as possible." Micah reassured him, bracing his hips and bumping his tip with Leo's hole. He grabbed one of Leo's hands and held it, a silent comfort in case there was any pain. "You ready?"

Leo nodded, gripping Micah's hand for dear life. The boy above him gave him a comforting smile, and began slowly pushing himself into his boyfriend.

Leo sucked in a breath and let out a whimper of pain. It hurt. The stretch was too much, each inch felt like it was splitting him in half.

"Fuck Micah, it hurts, it hurts -" Leo cried, tears forming in his eyes as he squeezed his partner's hand tightly enough to sting. Micah immediately halted his movements, leaning down to press his forehead against the pained boy's head.

"It's ok little one, I'm almost in. You're doing so well, just a little bit more, ok?" Micah comforted softly, doing his best not to move.

Leo gave a stiff nod, and Micah resumed his movements, gradually easing himself in until he bottomed out with a low groan. 

The pair remained still for a couple of minutes, Micah and Rain both whispering praises into Leo's ear while he adjusted to the new feeling. Leo's pants slowed as he got used to the stretch, the pain beginning to die down, replaced by the feeling of utter fullness he had never experienced before. 

"Relax sweet thing, We've got you." Rain purred, rubbing soothing circles on Leo's hip. He shifted his gaze to the tense man's stomach and groaned. "Oh shit, Micah look down!"

Leo slowly raised his head to look at what Rain was so enthralled with. At first he didn't notice anything different, but he felt himself clench up when his eyes fell on the small bulge in his stomach where Micah's cock was resting. The boy above him must have noticed it too, because his eyes were fixated on his tummy, pupils completely blown out with lust.

Leo felt comfortable enough to wiggle his hips a bit, desperate for his boyfriend to start moving. Micah let out a surprised grunt, moving his eyes to Leo' face, looking for any signs of pain. He found none, but continued staying still, waiting until Leo let out a noise of frustration.

"Use your words, baby." Micah gently teased, still refusing to move. "What is it you need from me?" 

"Move." Leo whined, what little self control he had slipping through his fingers. "Please move!"

 "Of course, my love." Micah smiled, reveling in how submissive his boyfriend had gotten. "Gonna make you feel so good, you'll be feeling me inside you for days."

With that, Micah gave a shallow thrust into Leo, making sure that the boy was completely ready for him. Leo let out a moan of pleasure, so the orange-haired boy continued to slowly thrust in and out of Leo, pulling out a little more each time until he was almost completely out before shoving himself back into his boyfriend's welcoming cunt. 

Micah let out his own low moans as he continued his motions, completely enthralled by the way his boyfriend's pussy was sucking him in. It was almost hard to pull out, Leo's tight hole was squeezing around him like a vice.

"Fuck-fuck you feel so g-good!" Leo whined as his lover slipped in and out of him. He had never felt this good before, no amount of masturbating could have prepared him for how amazing it felt to be fucked for real. Micah felt so big inside him, a feeling supported by the sight of his belly's bulge appearing and disappearing with each thrust. Overwhelmed, the smaller boy reached around his lover's neck, pulling him down until he could hug the man's back while stuffing his face into his shoulder.

"Need you-need to feel you!" he cried. He desperately wanted to feel Micah, not just in him but around him, surrounding his body until the only thing keeping him grounded was the feeling of his boyfriends warm, slick skin against his own. The muscular boy above him obliged, wrapping his arms around Leo until the two were pressed firmly together, the smaller man's whines and whimpers muffled by his boyfriend's shoulder.

"It's ok sweetheart, I've got you. I'm not going anywhere." Micah cooed into the boy's ear as he continued fucking him, the new position allowing him to press even further into his man's warm walls. "You feel amazing, I never wanna leave you empty again. Gonna fuck you so well you won't be able to speak." His pace quickened, making sure to be as gentle as possible while increasing his boyfriend's pleasure.

Leo nearly screamed as the tip of Micah's dick hit his g-spot, his eyes rolling in the back of his head as he tugged on Micah's hair, hooking his fingers around the man's hair tie and freeing the orange locks from where they were held. Micah let out a grunt at the slight pain, but soon forgot about it as Leo's hole pulsed around him. He continued to bully the soft bundle of nerves with his dick, bringing Leo closer to his orgasm faster than the smaller man thought it would come.

While his boyfriend's were distracted, Rain slipped off his shirt, his pants and soiled boxers quick to follow. He was noticeably hard again, but nobody would blame him if they could see the lewd sight in front of him. Horny and desperate to feel any sort of relief, the lanky boy grabbed his shaft and started pumping it, steadily at first, but quickly increasing his speed as his need got the better of him. His own moans joined the two boys beside him, the noises becoming loud enough to pull Micah's gaze away from their boyfriend and on to him. Rain sent him a teasing smile and closed his eyes, making a real show of jerking himself off. Just because he wasn't a part of the main event doesn't mean he couldn't still entertain.

Micah's focus was brought back to the man underneath him when he felt Leo shift his hips, allowing him to hit impossibly deeper and ripping another moan from his throat. "Shit, you're so tight my love, making me feel so good. You're doing so well for me baby boy." 

Leo unconsciously clenched even tighter around Micah at his words, A small whimper of happiness escaping his lips as his chest lit up with the praise. He was doing that. All the noises coming out of his boyfriend's mouth, all the pleasure Micah was feeling, that was because of him . A desperate need to please settled over Leo, he would do anything Micah asked if that's what it took to make his boyfriend cum. 

Micah noticed Leo's reaction, an affectionate smile showing on his face. "Oh you liked that hm? You like when I tell you how good you're doing? How amazing you feel, sucking me in like this? You're so pretty underneath me baby, such a good boy for me." Micah groaned, feeling his orgasm beginning to build up in his stomach. "I'd praise you forever if it meant you'd keep squeezing me like that."

Leo keened at the praise, losing himself more to the overwhelming pleasure as Micah's thrusts became faster, more desperate. The sound of skin slapping would have normally embarrassed the euphoric man, but he was too far gone to care. All he could think about was the rapidly approaching orgasm climbing through his stomach, invading all his senses until he felt like he was going to burst.

His boyfriend clearly felt the same way, because the taller man's breath quickened, spitting out a quick, "I'm gonna cum soon." before attempting to pull out of Leo's gushing hole.

The shorter man instinctively locked his legs behind his lover's back, forcing his dick back inside, much to Micah's confusion. 

"In me." Leo whimpered, looking into Micah's confused, lust filled eyes. His tongue felt like lead, but he pushed the words he so desperately needed to say out. "Finish in me, please."

Micah groaned above him, his self-control threatening to snap at any moment. "Are you sure? I'm not wearing a condom." 

"I'm on the pill." Leo moaned out, mind cloudy as he chased his orgasm. "I need to feel you inside me, all of you. I wanna be yours, please, mark me, claim me, make me yours!"

Micah's eyes darkened. He threw Leo's leg over his shoulder, his dick reaching impossibly deeper as he pounded the boy into the mattress. "Yeah? Want me to fill you up with my cum? Want me to claim you as mine? Wanna take all of me until you're overflowing?" he growled, possessiveness dripping from his voice as he held his boyfriend as close to him as he possibly could.

Leo nodded enthusiastically, teetering on the edge of his orgasm. He clung to the muscular man's back, desperate to be as connected to him as he possibly could as his guts got rearranged.

"Fuck baby boy, you drive me crazy. Gonna make you all mine."  Micah spoke, his mind only allowing him to think of breeding his boyfriend. "My baby. No one gets to see you like this, feel you like this, except for me and Rain, yeah?" 

Leo couldn't speak, eyes rolling to the back of his head as he nodded his head vigorously, little gasps and whimpers leaving his mouth at the mass pleasure he was experiencing. Micah felt the man tightening around him, and crashed his mouth onto Leo's as the smaller boy's orgasm finally hit him. Leo moaned into Micah's mouth, the taller man swallowing his noises as he shoved his tongue into his boyfriend's mouth. The brunette arched his back in sheer euphoria, continuing to cry out into Micah's mouth as the man's thrusts continued.

The fluttering of Leo's walls around his cock soon brought Micah to his own orgasm, a low, strangled noise leaving his throat as he flooded his boyfriend's insides with cum. Leo let out a small whimper as the sticky liquid reached deep inside him, filling him up until there was no more room, the excess seed dribbling out of him from around Micah's dick.

The two rested against each other, panting, Micah still buried deep within Leo's dripping cunt. The red-head caught his breath first, pressing a tender kiss to the boy beneath him as he trembled, his eyes still screwed shut as he soaked up the warmth radiating from Micah's body. 

"It's ok little one, I'm not going anywhere. Take as much time as you need to recover, we'll wait." Micah whispered into the man's neck, gently rubbing his back as his boyfriend struggled to calm himself. Leo let out a breathy hum of acknowledgement as he let his legs collapse from off the larger man's back, becoming more aware of the sticky mess leaking between his thighs as he did so. 

Micah's attention shifted back to his raven-haired lover, who had finished pleasuring himself whilst the other two were still recovering. He had grabbed his already soiled boxers, wiping the sticky mess he made on himself off his stomach. Finishing up, he threw the boxers into the nearby laundry bin before turning back to his boyfriend's shaking bodies, a fond expression plastered on his face.

"He adjusted a lot quicker than I thought he would." Rain said, ruffling Leo's hair affectionately. He turned back to Micah. "How'd he feel?"

Micah let out a breath of laughter. "Amazing." He stated. His gaze softened even more as he looked at his boyfriend, feeling a little guilty for hogging their smaller lover. "How are you doing?"

Rain sighed dramatically, taking advantage of his boyfriend's clear guilt. "Neglected, pent up, and depressed, I might as well not even be here!" He joked, his tone making it clear he was ok despite his words. His tone became more genuine. "But for real, I'm ok, I'm just glad you're enjoying yourselves."

Rain scooted closer to his boyfriend's, resting his hand on Micah's. "Besides," he said, looking down into the man's blue eyes, "we agreed on this right? I wanted this to be as easy on him as possible."

"Agreed on what?" Leo mumbled, opening his teary eyes to look at his pale lover. His body had ceased shaking now, and his mind had cleared enough to make talking easier than before.

"We...uh..." Micah sat up a little, letting go of Leo to rub the back of his neck in embarrassment. "We've talked about this before. About who should be the one to take your virginity first, whenever you were ready to lose it." 

Leo raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything, waiting for one of them to elaborate.

Micah stayed quiet, so Rain continued for him. "Since it was your first time, we wanted to ease you into everything, and we figured that taking you at the same time would be too much for you to handle, at least in the beginning. So we talked about who should take you first, and we both agreed that Micah might be easier for you to handle."

Leo gave a tired scoff. "Easier? It felt like he was splitting me in half at first."

"I was worried about that, which is why I initially thought that Rain should go first, he could stretch you out a little more so it would be easier to take me. But the more we talked about it, the more we realized it would probably be best if I started you off." Micah stated, gently pulling Leo up so he was sitting upright, leaning into the red-head's chest while he was still inside him.

"Because you're needier than me?" Rain asked teasingly, moving himself behind Leo so the brunette's back was against his chest.

"Because I have more self-control than you." Micah corrected, mock-glaring at the dark-eyed boy. "You have a habit of being rougher than you mean to be, which would have been too much for him. We both knew he would need a gentler, slower start than you could have managed."

"You mean the self-control you so clearly displayed? I seem to recall it flying out the window the second Leo asked you to cum in him." Rain mocked, giggling softly as Micah lightly slapped his arm.

"Shut up." Micah growled, holding Leo's forearms as the man leaned against his chest. "You have your turn now, don't you? Maybe focus on prepping him instead of making fun of me."

"Oh, trust me, I plan to." Rain smirked, dipping his fingers down to where his boyfriend's were connected. Luckily, the pair's previous actions had left him with more than enough to work with, slicking up his fingers with their leftover fluids before bringing them back up to Leo's asshole. He prodded the sensitive area gently before slipping his finger's in, feeling how tight the man was before slowly starting to spread his digits apart.

Leo stifled an uncomfortable whine. It felt weird to have something stuck up there, especially when he was getting spread open like this. Rain pressed comforting kisses to the man's neck, distracting him while he continued stretching Leo's second hole out.

"I know baby, I know. It feels weird, just give me a couple of minutes and you'll be ready." Rain promised, trying to calm the man as best as he could. 

Micah noticed the tense look on Leo's face and took pity on him, distracting the man by bringing him into a soft kiss. Leo gladly took the opportunity, focusing all his attention on the way Micah's tongue swiped over his teeth, the tickle of his lover's stubble on his chin, the sweet scent of his sweaty body. He became so engrossed in the kiss that he barely flinched when Rain inserted a third finger, stretching him wider for a minute or two before removing his fingers entirely.

Rain shifts his hips under Leo until his dick pressed against his asshole. "You ready to take both of us baby?" he asked, his excitement and need reflected in his voice. "I promise I'll go slow, at least at first."

Leo broke away from Micah, his eyes half-lidded with renewed lust. He braced himself against Micah's chest, his hands gripping onto his boyfriends broad shoulders for support. He let out a shaky "ready", and without any further warning, Rain slid himself into Leo, stifling a moan as he slowly bottomed out.

Leo let out a small gasp of pleasure as Rain settled inside him, surprised as how good it felt. He hadn't expected anal to feel all that great considering his anatomy, but he couldn't deny how good it felt to be so full, both of his boyfriend's filling him up so completely. The two men he was sandwiched between gave him a minute to adjust to the new feeling, softly praising him for taking them both at once like this and for how good he was being for them, making them feel so loved and trusted.

Leo could feel his mind fogging over at his boyfriend's words, warmth spreading throughout his chest. He wanted to be good for them, wanted to do whatever it took to make them feel as amazing as he felt. His need to please was consuming his mind, making him a submissive mess between his lover's bodies as he waited for them to move, to take care of his needs as well as their own. He slowly relaxed against Micah's chest, content little hums leaving his throat as he shifted his hips eagerly. He felt like he could stay like this forever.

Micah looked down, noticed the cloudy look in his boyfriend's green eyes, and brought his hand to the man's cheek, turning Leo's attention to him. Leo immediately nuzzled into his touch, thriving off of his boyfriend's affections as Micah ran his thumb down his soft cheek. The change in his demeanor was obvious to both Micah and Rain, both boys sharing an affectionate look over Leo's shoulder before Rain pulled the slumped man up a little, sitting him upright between him and Micah.

A surprised noise left Leo's mouth, but it was quickly replaced by a content sigh when Rain began kissing up and down his neck, gently brushing his lips over the bruises that were previously left on the sensitive skin. Micah continued to stroke his cheek, feeling himself harden again at his boyfriend's happy sigh's. Leo had shut his eyes and turned his head towards Rain, but peeled them open again when Micah turned his head back towards him, his eyes meeting Micah's gentle gaze.

"Hey love." He whispered, his tone soft and adoring. "How're you feeling?" 

A second passed before Leo responded, his mind still buzzing. "I feel floaty." He murmured, continuing to look up at Micah through half-closed eyes. "It feels weird... and nice. Is this normal?" 

Micah chuckled softly. "Yes, this is normal sweetheart. I think you're in subspace right now." Micah looked over at Rain, who was shifting his hips, desperate to start moving. "Rain gets in that headspace too, although his is usually caused by pain."

"Oh." Leo whispered. He had heard of subspace before, but he thought it could only be achieved by intense pain. He guessed he was wrong about that.

Micah stroked his smaller boyfriend's hair gently, getting increasingly turned on by how soft and pliant his normally tough and guarded boyfriend had become. "Do you want us to take care of you little one? Want us to make you cum around our cocks again?"

Take care of him? They already were. He felt so safe and loved in his boyfriend's arms, like nothing could ever touch him. But he couldn't deny how much he needed them to move, to fuck him until he was nothing but a dripping, shaking mess in their arms.  Leo shuddered in anticipation. "Please."

Rain didn't need to be told twice, immediately pulling out before pushing himself back in with a groan. "Fucking finally." He huffed out, his impatience apparent. He gripped Leo's hips, pushing and pulling them in time with his thrusts so that it was easier for him to move. At the same time, Micah stayed still for a moment, timing himself so that he could thrust in when Rain would pull out. As soon as he saw Rain's hips move backwards, Micah bucked his own, pulling out as Rain pushed back in, the two finding a perfect rhythm after a couple of moments.

Leo opened his mouth, silent gasps of pleasure escaping him as his body bounced between the two men. The pleasure was constant, never taking a break as someone was always thrusting into him, hitting his most sensitive spots. He could hear Rain moaning behind him, the pale boy's fingers digging deep into the fat of Leo's ass as he maneuvered him, rough enough to leave bruises. "I've waited so long to do this." Rain breathed out, a genuine smile tugging at his lips. "can't believe I finally get to have you, all pretty and fucked out while I rail you." His pace grew harsher, his balls slapping against Leo's ass as he slammed himself into Leo's hole.

Leo's eyes rolled into the back of his head at the change of pace, small little whines slipping past his lips as he wrapped his arms around Micah's torso, doing everything he could to ground himself in the face of his overwhelming euphoria. Micah changed his speed to match Rain's, letting out his own grunts and groans of pleasure as his cock dragged against Leo's walls. He shifted Leo's hips a little, the new angle allowing him to once again hit the boy's g spot vigorously.

Leo's body felt like jelly as intense pangs of pleasure washed over him. He tried to keep himself upright, but all the strength had been sapped out of him, his arms and legs shaking with ecstasy. His body collapsed into Micah's chest, the only thing keeping him from falling over completely being his boyfriend's strong, stable arms as they wrapped themselves around his trembling body. Leo screwed his eyes shut, burying his face into his boyfriend's hairy chest as he let out high pitched whines.

"I've got you, I've got you sweet boy." Micah panted, holding onto Leo's crumbled body as tightly as he could. His dick twitched at the sight of his boyfriend relying on him so heavily, pride building in his chest. Only they could make Leo feel this good, only they could take care of their sensitive boyfriend, and only they could be trusted to see their beautiful boy this vulnerable. "We're making you feel so good, aren't we baby?"

Leo couldn't answer, his brain fried beyond comprehension. All he could manage were whines and whimpers, completely lost in euphoria. 

"Ah, ah, ah, ah~" Leo whimpered, his eyes still closed in pure bliss as tears began leaking from them. He couldn't even keep his arms around Micah at this point, instead curling them towards himself as Micah held him, leaning even more into his slick chest.

Rain laughed at Leo's lack of response, smirking down at him as he pulled in and out of him. "Oh poor baby, did we fuck you stupid on our cocks?" he cooed, taking pride in every twitch and moan his fucked out boyfriend let out. "Our dumb, pretty boy, so perfect for us. You're so beautiful when you're this out of it, my sweet thing."

Rain removed his hands from Leo's ass, instead moving them under the man's folded over body and finding his chest, squeezing the soft mounds and circling his nipples with his thumbs. Leo arched his back a little, tiny whimpers leaving his lips at the added stimulation. His brain felt so fuzzy, to the point where he was only half aware of what was going on around him, but he trusted that his boyfriend's would take care of him in his fucked out state.

Rain's moans turned into whines as his orgasm approached, his thrusts becoming shorter and faster as he threw his head back in pleasure. A moment passed, and he brought his head back down, leaning towards Leo's ear. "I'm almost there baby, can we cum in you again? Please?" His voice was whiny and desperate, trying his hardest not to bust without getting an answer first.

It took a second for his words to register in Leo's brain, but after a moment he nodded frantically, knowing exactly what he wanted but unable to get his tongue to work properly. He could feel Rain buck into his ass a couple more times before he groaned again, stilling inside his boyfriend and filling his hole with his own hot seed. He pressed himself as close as he could to Leo's ass, wanting to empty himself as deep as he could without spilling a drop. 

While Rain was still trying to catch his breath, Micah, who was getting close himself, grabbed his face with one hand and smashed his lips onto Rain's, bringing him into a rough kiss. Rain whimpered into Micah's mouth, overwhelmed by his orgasm and the firm grip his boyfriend had on his face, as well as the overstimulation Leo's still bouncing body was making him feel. Micah continued to aggressively make out with Rain for a minute longer before breaking away, smirking at the sex-drunk look on his boyfriend's face and continuing to grip his cheeks harshly.

"Look at you, angel. You wanna talk about Leo being fucked dumb? You should see yourself right now, a whimpering, pathetic mess in my hand. It's almost cute, how easy it is to shut your brain off." Micah's voice was sickly sweet, his smile venomous as he degraded his boyfriend. 

Despite the stinging sensation in his cheeks from Micah's killer grip, Rain tried to smirk, a defiant look in his eyes. "It's only this easy because I wanted to be nice for Leo. I can give you a much harder time if you'd like." The smirk turned into a slight grimace when Micah tightened his hold, a clear warning.

"I'll keep that in mind for later. For now, behave yourself. I think he's close." Micah all but growled out, his eyes hardening. A teasing look remained plastered on Rain's face, but he nodded, letting out a breath when Micah released his jaw and wrapped his arm around Leo once again. Both boys' eyes softened when they looked down at their third, who's noises had heightened in pitch, his hands gripping Micah's arm for stability. His boyfriend had been right, Leo was definitely on the verge of coming undone.

Tears rolled down Leo's cheeks as his body shuttered, a pitiful cry leaving his throat as his orgasm hit him like a train. Rain draped himself over the smaller boy's back, circling his convulsing stomach with his thumbs in a comforting motion. "That's it baby, let yourself go. I know it's overwhelming, but we've got you. You're making us feel so good." He soothed, closing his eyes and soaking in the warmth radiating from Leo's curled body.

Micah continued to lazily thrust his hips upward, moans spilling from his mouth at the way Leo's cunt was squeezing and pulsing around him. "Oh, just like that baby boy, I'm gonna cum again. Gonna cum so deep in you that it won't spill out." He groaned, feeling himself give in to his own sweet release.

Leo barely registered the hot cum flooding past his cervix, filling him until the mixture of his and Micah's cum started dripping out of him and down his boyfriend's thighs. He was still riding out his own orgasm, his pussy spasming around Micah's dick, milking every last drop of cum from his twitching cock. The fog in his mind had only thickened upon his release, leaving his senses completely clouded with pleasure. He couldn't think, couldn't speak, all he could do was feel the comforting texture of his boyfriend's soft skin on his own as they guided him through his high.

Eventually, his orgasm faded, leaving him trembling in his boyfriend's arms as he tried (and failed) to regain his grip on his senses. Leo's tired body used the last of its strength to wrap his arms around Micah, pressing himself as far into the larger man's skin as he possibly could. Micah, who had recovered from his orgasm relatively quickly, cooed down at the boy, kissing his forehead affectionately. 

"I think that's more than enough for one night." Micah murmured, careful not to disturb his overwhelmed boyfriend. "Rain, can you help me lie him down?

Rain hummed into Leo's back, taking a moment before he opened his eyes and slowly sat up. He pulled a pillow close to Leo before grabbing his body, and nodded towards Micah, signaling him to slowly pull their boyfriend down until all three of them were lying on their sides, Leo still squished between them. His head was gently laid on the pillow Rain had gotten, and the three stayed like that for a long while, the two larger boys curled around Leo's still-trembling body protectively as they waited for him to recover.

Leo had gained a little more awareness after a couple minutes, but not much. It didn't matter to him though. He was safe and warm, snuggled in between his boyfriend's naked bodies. They would take care of him until his mind cleared, he was sure of it. Sleep tugged at the corner of his mind, and he gladly let himself surrender to the comforting void enveloping his tired body.

...At least he would have, if he wasn't hyper focused on the feeling of Micah pulling out of his abused pussy.

Leo whined at the sudden emptiness, more cum starting to spill from his hole now that nothing was there to keep it plugged in. Micah chuckled at his reaction, bringing his fingers down to Leo's entrance before scooping up the excess cum and gently pushing it back in. He slowly got up, pushing Leo's arms off from around him as he stood, moving to leave the room.

Leo let out distressed whimpers at the loss of contact, having no idea where Micah was going or if he was coming back. Micah stopped, turning towards Rain for help, but his boyfriend was already moving. Quickly, so as not to upset Leo any more, Rain pulled out and turned the smaller boy around so he was now facing him, wrapping his arms around him as he softly pet the boy's hair and back in an effort to calm him.

"Shhhhh Bug, it's ok. He's not leaving, he's just getting a couple things to help clean you up, ok? He'll be back soon, in the meantime I'm right here with you, I won't leave you alone, I promise." Rain soothed, pressing his face into Leo' shoulder. Leo didn't say anything, instead wrapping his arms around the lanky man's torso, cuddling up to him in an attempt to stay warm. Micah began moving again, grabbing a couple blankets and laying them on top of his exposed boyfriend's so they wouldn't get cold in his absence. He then left the room, and Rain could hear the faint sound of water rushing as Micah started a bath.

They stayed like that for a couple minutes, blissfully snuggled under the blankets while Rain softly kissed the tears off of Leo's face. He could hear Micah shuffling around in the kitchen, probably getting him and Leo water and a couple of snacks to boost their energy again, at least enough to get clean and ready for bed. He was proven right when his Micah's large stature appeared in the doorway, holding two glasses of water and a couple snacks stashed under his arms. 

"How's he doing?" Micah asked, sitting down next to Rain. 

Rain sat up a little, enough so that he could grab one of the water glasses without disturbing Leo. "Still out of it. I don't know if he has the energy to eat right now." He whispered, sipping his water slowly. He couldn't blame his boyfriend though, he barely had the energy to move himself. The water was clearing his head a little though, slowly bringing him out of his own haze and allowing his senses to become sharper than they had been a second ago. "How are you doing? It took you no time at all to start moving around, aren't you tired?"

Micah shook his head, smiling softly. "I've always recovered quickly, you know that. Besides, if I didn't move, who was going to take care of you two? " He gazed at Leo, who was still laying down, before meeting Rain's tired eyes. "He's not in any condition to strain himself right now, and you're clearly exhausted. It's ok, I like helping you, I tell you this every time."

"I knowwww," Rain groaned, flopping back down. "But I still feel bad. You're always caring for me after sex-us now, I guess. And you never let me help you out after a session either. Don't you get tired of always being the caretaker? Don't you want me to pamper you sometimes?" 

Micah huffed in amusement, kissing Rain's forehead lovingly. "I could never get tired of caring for you. If anything, cleaning you up is aftercare for me. Seeing you happy, safe, and satisfied makes me feel better than anything else." A mischievous smirk pulled on his lips. "Besides, you forget that most of our sex is a lot rougher than this, at least on you. It would be pretty inconsiderate of me to fuck you up and then expect you to look after me when I'm perfectly fine."

Rain huffed in annoyance. "You're rough on me because I get off on being treated that way, not because you're a sadist. That's on me, it's still not fair on you to care for me after doing something I asked you to do."

Rain opened his mouth to say more, but Micah grabbed his face again, much gentler than the last time. "Angel, look at me." He said, staring intensely into Rain's eyes. "I. Love. Caring. For. You. I love making you feel loved. You two do so much more for me than you give yourselves credit for, this is the least I can do to show how much I appreciate you." he enunciated each word, hoping that his concerned lover would understand how serious he was being. Doubt still plagued Rain's  face, but he nodded in understanding, too tired to argue any more.

Micah turned his attention to Leo, who had stopped shaking for the most part, but was still clinging to Rain's side with his eyes glued closed. He slipped his hands under Leo's back, tenderly sitting him up while Rain shuffled his body so that his chest supported Leo's weight. The tuckered out man groaned a little, but slowly opened his eyes, still cloudy with brain fog and exhaustion. 

"Hey little one, how're you feeling?" Micah asked, holding out the glass of water. "Here, drink some of this, it'll help you wake up a little."

Leo grabbed the glass with trembling hands, Rain helping to steady them as he brought the cool liquid up to his mouth and to small sips. The water slid down his throat, it's cold temperature spreading throughout his chest. His mind had cleared more by now, but he was still finding it hard to speak, his tongue heavy in his mouth. He handed the glass back once he was finished, still trying to keep his eyes open as he fought his tiredness.

The two boys around him smiled adoringly at him, gazing at his tired form with love. After a moment, Micah slid one of his arms under Leo's back and his other arm under Leo's legs, and lifted him up bridal style, the man's body leaning heavily on his chest. Leo let out a squeak of surprise, but was quickly shushed by Micah, who began walking out of the bedroom. "I know you were comfortable, but we gotta clean you up. Don't worry, the bath is nice and warm, and we'll be in there with you." Rain stood up and followed closely behind, not wanting to be left out.

Micah stopped at the foot of the tub, slowly lowering one leg into the warm water before fully stepping in, carefully lowering himself and his boyfriend into the water until both were covered up to their chests. Leo, who had wrapped his arms around Micah's neck in an effort to keep himself from falling, lowered his arms, instead holding them close to his chest as he soaked in the warmth surrounding him. He closed his eyes, feeling Rain step in and curl up next to him, hugging him to his chest while Micah pulled them both close to his own body.

Leo muscles loosened as Micah ran a washcloth down his back, soothed by the rhythmic scrubbing motions and the feeling of soap running down his skin and into the water. Rain cupped his hands with water and gently poured it over Leo's body, washing the remaining suds off of him. A hand made its way down between Leo's legs, prying them apart enough for Micah to clean the mess they had left earlier. Leo, started a bit at the contact, his pussy still sensitive from all that they had done, but relaxed once again when he felt the comforting warmth of the water washing away the stickiness that had been beginning to bother him. He felt Micah's hand retreat, continuing to bask in his satisfied state as his boyfriend's began to clean themselves up.

A hand found its way into Leo's messy brown hair, brushing through his tangled locks in a soothing motion. "How're we doing, dragonfly?" Rain whispered softly into his ear, as if afraid of shattering the cozy silence they had fallen into. "You with us?"

Leo slowly shifted his head so that he was looking up at Rain's face, which was slightly above his on Micah's chest, focusing all of his energy on forming words in his mouth. "...I'm here." He croaked, forcing his voice to project louder than a whisper. He shakily brought his hand closer to Rain's, clasping it gently in his own. "I'm more aware...I think. Still feel a little floaty though." 

"That's ok." Rain smiled, pressing a sweet kiss to Leo's forehead. "You did so good for us bug, taking us so well. Made us feel so special, letting us be the first people to have you like that." 

Leo smiled drowsily. "Did I?"

"Of course you did." Micah chimed in, rubbing his hands up and down the soft skin of Leo's arm. "You took everything we gave you wonderfully, and you made us feel so loved." His hand began idly traced patterns into Leo's skin, making the man shiver from the ticklish feeling. "I was worried I would hurt you, or overwhelm you, or be too big to fit fully in you. But you took me just fine, and you felt amazing. I don't think I'm ever gonna get enough of you."

A pleased hum left Leo's throat. "I'm glad. I wasn't sure if I was gonna do this right, or if I was gonna feel good enough. It's nice to know I felt ok."

Rain snorted. "You felt more than just ok baby, you felt absolutely ethereal! I can't wait for the next time I get to fuck you like that." He paused a moment before pressing his forehead to Leo's. "I love you so much sweet boy, I'm so glad you trusted us enough to see you like that. Thank you."

Leo smiled and pressed a tiny kiss to Rain's lips, buzzing with happiness. "No, thank you, both of you, for taking care of me. You made me feel so loved and comfortable, I'm glad I waited until now." He rested his head against Micah's chest once again, a wave of drowsiness falling over him. "I love you too." He yawned, closing his eyes.

"Oh no you don't." Micah gently scolded, moving his boyfriend's enough for him to stand up. He stepped out of the tub, grabbed a towel, and dried off before turning back to Leo, grabbing his hands and pulling him up. "You're not falling asleep in the bath, no way. C'mon, let's get ready for bed and then you can sleep, ok?

A sigh was heard, but Leo didn't complain, stepping out of the water with Micah's help. Rain followed suit, and the three boys dried off before making their way back to the bedroom, watching as Micah changed the sheets before laying together on the bed. Leo was in the middle once again, smushed between his boyfriend's naked bodies, Micah spooning him from behind while Rain hugged Leo's torso to his chest.

Leo could feel sleep creeping up on him, but before he could fall completely into unconsciousness, he heard Micah speak.

"Sleep well sweetheart, I'll see you in the morning." Micah yawned, tucking his nose into Leo's hair.

Leo let out a tired hum of acknowledgement, his eyes shut in bliss. "I will, goodnight. I love you."

Micah and Rain smiled affectionately, Rain pressing himself even further into Leo's skin as both boys said their "I love you's" back, and Leo finally allowed himself to slip into unconsciousness, lulled by the heartbeats of the people he loved most.

PROLOGUE/ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE TEN ELEVEN TWELVE THIRTEEN FORTEEN FIFTEEN SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN TWENTY TWENTYONE TWENTYTWO TWENTYTHREE TWENTYFOUR

CHAPTER TWENTYFIVE

                “Customer service is important, but the customer can be a difficult person.”

                “The customer is always right, right?”

                “No. Sometimes they are very wrong. And rude. However you need to temper your own reactions. Sometimes they are assholes, but sometimes they are just having a bad day. Something small may be the last thing that just tips them over, and sometimes you will wear the brunt of that. And sometimes you will be the one experiencing that one little thing that sets you off…”

                “Is this about me losing my temper yesterday?”

                “Maybe,” Leandro pauses, reaches out and pulls Bradley into a hug. “I think I am sometimes too hard on you. We can make our food perfect, but we cannot be perfect ourselves. And expecting others to be perfect will always leave you disappointed.”

                “But what about when they fuck things up?”

                “Do you think they do it with malice in their hearts? On purpose to annoy you or make you look bad?”

                “No…”

                “Then give them a little grace. A little. We can make mistakes. We are human. When it happens over and over, well, then you can maybe find a better solution hmm?”

                “Yeah. Okay.”

…            …            …

                “So I asked him to order thirty bags, and instead he ordered thirty pounds.”

                “What are you going to do with thirty pounds of spinach?” Jake doesn’t know what he’d do with any spinach, isn’t sure he even eats or likes spinach. If he eats it, it’s probably hidden in other things if his sisters are cooking. Leo can also probably make it taste good.

                “Well, I'm making a green risotto, and also making a spinach and ricotta filling... Just, it’s just over twice as much spinach what we usually get delivered. It just kept fucking coming…”

                “This is kind of funny.”

                “Fucking annoying and potentially wasteful, if I hadn't caught it in time.”

                “Noone died. You need to lighten up a little. Can you return it?”

                “Uh…”

                “You didn’t even think about ringing and asking did you?”

                “Fuck.”

                “Oh babe, simplest solution…” Jake says, and he knows the others are making kissy-faces at him, because privacy is hard to come by on a carrier, but he can’t find it anywhere in him to care. So what, he’s soft for his boyfriend. He’s still the best in the air where it matters most to them, and Leo deserves the best, and if he likes Jake being soft then he’ll be the damned softest.

…            …            …

                Bradley feels like a cold hand is digging fingers tight into his heart, long after he and Jake have ended their short call.

                Noone died.

                Jake’s words, said in a joking manner. And no one will die in his kitchen, barring freak explosions. But Jake... Jake's job is far more dangerous. He closes his eyes and forces himself to not borrow trouble. Not over something he has zero control over. There are plenty of people he could ring and talk to, of course there are, about the hazards of being a naval aviator. He knows better than most just how dangerous the job can be. None of the people he could talk to care for Jake like he does, but there are some… He picks up his phone again and presses call.

                “Hello?”

                “Hey Maria…”

                “Bradley. Hi. This is… uh. Unexpected.”

                “Yeah. Sorry. Just uh, nothing’s wrong, I just… wanted to talk to someone else who was maybe worried about him as well.”

                “Oh… shit. Yeah. Your first deployment huh? I wish I could say it gets easier but it sucks and we all hate it. And he’s been out of the nest since he finished high school, so it’s not like we’re used to him being around but…”

                “You really miss his presence when it’s not there huh?”

                “You got it. He’s a pretty big personality when he wants to be.”

                “Yeah.”

                “So… Is it the distance or the danger?”

                “The danger. Uh. I was just wondering how you cope. When he's away doing his pilot shit?”

                “Well, we've been assured he's damn good at that pilot shit you so eloquently called it. He loves flying. What I try and take comfort in, is that the US Navy has spent a lot of money and time training him. And all the naval aviators. It's in their best interests to keep them as safe as possible while they do their jobs... Do you know much about the Navy?”

                Bradley laughs humorlessly.

                “Yeah. A bit.”

                “What does that mean?”

                “My dad was a naval aviator. He died in a training exercise.”

                “Oh. Oh shit. Jake didn’t mention that.”

                “No. It doesn’t exactly make for nice dinner time conversation.”

                “Are you okay with him being a Naval aviator?”

                “Of course. He loves it. Wish the distance wasn’t a thing of course, but it’s fine.”

                “Very pragmatic of you.”

                “I’d rather have the little bits of him that I can than none at all.”

                “Wow. That’s sweet. You’re sweet.”

                “Mostly,” Bradley says with a grin. “Anyway, I have something else I need to bring up. Vi will come and do the actual business talk, but apparently everyone thinks the sauce I made could do well commercially, but I don’t really want to put my name on it. It’s Jake’s sauce…”

                “If everyone could hear you now they would never believe the foul-mouthed and hot-tempered chef Bradley Bradshaw was so smitten with a guy he made him an entire range of ketchups…”

                “Yeah well, it was hurting to watch him put fucking store bought shit on stuff. At least now there’s more nutritional value at least.”

                “If you start making ketchup commercially don’t you think he might get a clue that you’re, I don’t know, more famous that you let on?”

                “He’s seen me on your recipe books. You’re right about him being kind of oblivious about the whole thing.”

                “Yes, well. He won’t care, when he does realize.”

                “Yeah, I think you’re right. He won’t. It’s good, because I’ve got something else which is probably more important to him…”

                “What do you mean?”

                “Well, my dad was a naval aviator and I’ve got a few family friends who are still active. Some of them are quite high up. I think Jake will care more about those than he will about me being famous.”

                “Yes. You are definitely right there. Like… high up family friends?”

                “Like the highest ranking admiral on his current carrier. I asked him to deliver Jake a care package a couple of weeks ago. Jake just mentioned it in passing, no big deal…”

                “Uh…”

                “What?”

                “Oh, he’ll wait until he sees you in person to say something. However, he’ll also have plenty of time to cool down if he was angry about it.”

                “I don’t think he was angry. More curious. It’s not like it’s my actual dad or anything…”

                “Just family friends willing to do you favors. Right.”

                “I’m little orphan Annie. They feel sorry for me.”

                “Hmm. I think you just put on the charm.”

                “Wow Maria, I’m hurt…”

                “Okay, now I see why you and Jake make a good match. I look forward to talking to Vi.”

                “Thanks for the chat…”

                “Anytime Bradley. I mean it.”

…            …            …

                “What are we doing in here?”

                “Well, I know what I’m doing. You just followed me in here like a lost puppy…”

                “Well, I am cute. You didn’t answer my question though.”

                “I’m browsing…”

                “In a culinary store?”

                “Yeah, I want to send Leo something…” Jake says, looking at the different versions of chef whites, and he knows Leo muttered about boring uniform whites, but these are black and have brightly colored fabric on the cuffs and chest piece, and oh… there’s one that’s fucking perfect. He grabs it off the rack and eyes it up, pretty sure it’s the right size, grin wide and he ignores the skeptical eyebrow that Phoenix has raised, clearly unimpressed with his choice.

                “He’s got a giant, uh…” Jake blinks, frowns, his brain not able to come up with the word he’s looking for. “Cock-“

                “I don’t need to know that!”

                “No! Well… no!”

                “La la la la la, I’m not listening!”

                Jake rolls his eyes and pulls her hands away from her ears.

                “What’s another word for male chicken, or cockerel?”

                “Oh,” she lets her hands drop. "You mean rooster?”

                “That’s it! He has a giant rooster tattoo on his leg, and his last name means rooster in Italian…”

                “Oh… okay. Then that’s kind of sweet. Maybe you’re not such a bad catch after all Hangman…”

                “Too late for you to have that realization Phoenix, I am well and truly taken.”

Don't touch me!

Back in November 21st, 2022, before I made this blog, I was inspired to write my first oneshot to @tmntxthings as a gift. 🥰

I wanted to share this, as I'm a little afraid it might get lost otherwise.

Summary:

After a hard battle, you try to comfort your boyfriend

Warnings: DonniexgnReader, hurt and comfort, fluff

💜🐢💜

ao3

‐----------------------------------------------

“I wouldn’t go in there if I were you, Y/n.” Leo warned you, grabbing your arm, stopping you from entering the purple masked turtle’s lab.

You looked back at Leo. Mikey had called you, letting you know they had all returned safely (for the most part) from their latest mission.

But Donnie had been hurt rather seriously. After Leo had patched him up, he had locked himself in his lab, refusing to let anyone in.

“But I have to see him!” you said, your voice trembling with worry.

Leo knew you wouldn’t back down. All the brothers knew how much the two of you were in love. But he also knew what his twin could be like in a vulnerable state.

“Okay…” he said hesitantly, letting go of your arm.

You walked up to the door of Donatello’s lab and knocked. There was no response. You tried again. Nothing…

Luckily, you knew the code to open the door, so you still managed to enter.

It was dark in there. The only lights on, were from the screens of the computer monitors. You could barely make out the figure sitting by the working table, but you knew it was Donnie.

“Donnie?” you called softly.

“Please leave, Y/n…”

You did the opposite, you moved closer.

“Mikey called. I just want to make sure everything’s okay.”

“I want to be left alone.”

You kneeled by his chair, looking up at him. From the faint light of the screens, you could see his right shoulder was completely wrapped in bandages.

“Won’t you at least look at me?”

Slowly, he turned his head, facing you. You couldn’t quite read his face though.

You reached up a hand, wanting to caress his cheek, but swiftly, his hand grabbed your wrist.

“Don’t touch me!”

Your eyes widened, startled. He had never raised his voice at you like this before.

His eyes were cold and his grip on your wrist was tight.

What were you suppose to do in this kind of situation?

He blinked a few times, then let go of you, turning his head away.

“Just leave.” he hissed.

You got up on your feet, rubbing your wrist. You quickly made your way out of the lab.

A few days passed before you returned to the lair to visit the turtles.

When you did, you wanted to act as if nothing had happened. You knew Donnie hadn’t meant to snap at you. He had apologised sincerely, explaining that the mission had been rough on him, that was why he had acted so unreasonable.

You forgave him, but he noticed you started to distance yourself from him.

You didn’t initiate the usual contact with him. You didn’t try and hold his hand or lean your head against his shoulder while watching movies.

One day, while the two of you were hanging out in his lab, he decided to confront you about it.

“Y/n,” he said, putting away his work and walking up to you. You were currently absorbed in a good book.

“Hmm?” you answered, not looking up from your book.

“Y/n, I need to ask you…” he said, placing a hand on one of yours.

This made you jump, dropping the book onto the floor.

The purple clad turtle noticed something fearful in your expression, even though it was just for a second.

You looked up at him, then giggled nervously, “Haha, clumsy me…”

Donnie frowned, now holding your hand with both of his.

“Y/n, tell me what’s wrong. You’ve been acting different lately.”

You looked down at his hands holding yours, not even noticing you were tearing up.

“It… it’s nothing…”

“Y/n, you’re crying. You’re trembling at my touch. Why?”

You looked down at your lap, not being able to stop your tears.

"Don't touch me," you whispered, making Donnie pull away in surprise. This wasn't like you...

"That's what you said," you then explained. Donnie held his breath for a moment. Now he understood.

“You… you scared me.” You then admitted, “back when you were hurt…you grabbed my wrist and told me not to touch you… I-I’ve never seen you like that before…”

Donnie felt his heart drop. He had forgotten exactly how harshly he had reacted when you had reached for him back then. But he had already apologised, right?

“I’m sorry Y/n. I already said I was, didn’t I?”

“I know, I know,” you said, “and I know you didn’t mean to snap at me… but it made me afraid to touch you,”

The turtle sighed, gabbing your hand again and gently pulled you up from your seat. He felt your hand tremble in his. He had grown used to your touch, even if he usually wasn’t the biggest fan of physical contact, most of the time. It hurt to know he had frightened you to distance yourself from him.

“My dear Y/n,” his voice was gentle, “I’ll show you right here, right now, that there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

He pulled you in for a gentle and warm embrace. You stiffened a bit at first. You couldn’t remember Donnie ever initiating a hug, it was usually always you who reached out to him.

You carefully leaned your head against his shoulder, relaxing more now in his arms, feeling his hand rub your back in small circles.

After a little while, he pulled away a little, placing a hand under your chin, looking into your eyes. He wasn't going to let you doubt his love for you again. He lead your lips up to meet his in a soft kiss.

Your fears were swept away completely.

Chapter 5 purple king

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

So ummm i’m back and im stronger it took me a lot of motivation because I need to watch a lot of Tmnt to get motivation ,anyway the creator of the story is @duckp0t I am just the writer btw since my phone wants to be fake I’ll be getting my phone fixed and an iPad for Christmas how do I know because my dad decided that me and my siblings could get one expensive gift so yeah so one I get that I’ll be posting more than reposting ,this story might be a bit short sorry y’all

Warning: yandere themes, dark romance, gore talk?, and other yandere themes

If any of this makes you uncomfortable, please do not read.

Anyway, enough of my yapping, let’s get into the story .

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

.

.

.

.

.

.

I looked around seeing a garden?

I walked forward the grass was tall as i walked

through it if I was normal size, it would’ve been

just normal , I get behind a tree as I see who

everyone was talking about and worrying about

the purple King, and it looked like he was playing

golf ?,with other people people more like

mutants? , and they look like they were watching

what he was doing, admiring him.

I watched someone grabs a flamingo handing it

to him I then squinted my eyes to see a hedgehog

as the ball , I frown as I saw this .

Suddenly, he hits the hedgehog and it goes

speeding passed me, everyone cheered for the

king praising him for the hit .

I quickly run over to the hedgehog to help and

untie his ropes that were restraining him ,

Suddenly i heard him yelling

“ where is my ? …Raph !”

“ yes, don-…your majesty” 

the hedgehog panics as it starts squeaking 

I panicked slightly as I shush it gently

“ I want to help you “

I said as a calm down quickly as I got the

ropes off of the hedgehog ,

Suddenly, i heard someone behind me, as I

quickly turn around to see who it was 

“ well if isn’t the wrong reader .”

Raph says ,The hedgehog squeaks again as it

Then runs off to safety .

“ what brings you here? Hmm?”

He curiously looking down at my small form

“ I’ve come to rescue Leo”

I said to Raph as I looked up at him as he sighed

“ you’re not rescuing anyone being a size

of a mouse…”

I sighed but brightened up as I thought of an idea

that might help me

“ well do you have any more of that cake that

made me grow before?”

I asked him in curiosity

“ upelkuchen?…actually, i might have some left”

He says as he started to look around in his

pockets he then pulled out a cake I grabbed it it

“ okay I’m going to use this when I get to Leo now

Now tell me were he is Raph!….please “

Raph sighed in defeat as he looked around before

Picking me up and sneaking away from the

Garden and into the castle .

After a while of walking he settled me down on

The floor I look at the door seeing a little entrance

through the bottom off the door

“ you go Donnie probably knows I’m up to

something ,so while I’m at it I’ll distract him “

He then rushed off i wanted to ask what

Happened between him and the king it seemed

Like they used to be close I could sense it.

I turn back and then crawl under the door to the

I go into the next room that I crawled under. It

Was cold and smelled musty ,i stood up to get a

good look at the place , it was a dungeon ,no

surprise there I suppose

“ Leo…..Leo!”

I whisper yelled as a walk through the cells

“Reader?!”

He said with shock as he popped from the cells

which absolutely scared me

“ Leo you scared me!”

I yell at him as I walk closer to his cell relieved

“ sorry that was my fault..yet why are you here

I thought this was a dream and you know “

He said with sass as he somewhat crosses his

Arms and looks of for a second before looking

back to me and grabbing the bars

“ yet it looks like you’re starting to realize this isn’t

your little crazy messed up dream?, or did the kiss

i give you wake you up? “

I frown as I look at him

“ hey I don’t know what is going on so just leave

me alone okay, I could just leave you here “

I said as i was going to walk away

“ wait ,wait ..okay I’m sorry…. But you did like the

kiss right?”

He said with slight hope

I rolled my eyes as i sighed

“ maybe that did make me realize I wasn’t really

dreaming…”

I cross my arms as I look at him

“ but that’s beside the point now,now I need you

to help me get home somehow “

“Home? But your fine right now “

He said with no remorse but I pinch him which

caused him to yell in pain

“ ow okay okay relax I’ll help you “

“Glad we agree with each other “

I said as I unlocked the lock on the cell

“ well that was quick “

He said surprised as he pushed the cell door open

and holds his hand down for me to jump down ,

carefully I walk onto his palm

“ okay now let’s get out of here “

“ definitely can’t stand Donnie when he thinks

everyone else has to do whatever he pleases just

because something doesn’t go his way “

That perks my interest maybe Leo could tell me

“ Donnie ?”

I said with curiosity as we attempt to find our way

out of the castle ,Leo looks to me as he sighs

“ well eventually you’ll have to find out…Donnie as

you know the purple king used to be my brother “

“ used?…I know brothers fight but what

happened?”

I wondered as I looked at him as he was to me

“ well Donnie …it was the thing I mentioned

earlier about when you didn’t show up and we

were having the big party he …umm he decided

to take over but left us out of it ….until now …

imagine what happens when.. he takes you away

from me?……..”

He murmured the last part as i couldn’t hear him

“ what now?”

I ask him again as I look ahead and freeze

“ Leo …we might have to-“

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“ well well well look what the turtle dropped in no

pun intended for that “

Donnie and Leo your honor

-

This is a chapter for the fic I'm working on, you don't really need the rest for context but check it out if you want to

read on ao3!

-

-

Donnie wakes up before Leo. Weird way to start the morning but he’ll survive. Maybe. They had a twin sleepover last night, part of the help Leo plan that’s getting increasingly more complicated. More than it had been to get him through weeks of bedridden fever induced injuries and escape attempts, the physical therapy and the knee brace he still has to wear sometimes. When old wounds act up in new and unforeseen ways. 

Leo had been hugging his arms last night, well, more like all of yesterday. Shrinking. It always rubs Donnie the wrong way to see Leo in obvious distress. No matter how subtle his twin thinks he is. Puns and one liners and smug smiles. 

Tired eyes.

So Donnie initiated a sleepover. A genius move on his part, but let’s be honest, when are his moves not genius? And Leo had fallen asleep! Absolutely insane! The group chat had heard all about it, as well as seen, with the candid photo of Leo clutching Donnie’s hoodie covered arm and leaning on his shoulder. Donnie loves this new picture.

Now, in the quiet of dawn (probably, down in the sewers they never really know when the sun is rising, earth tilt and all that. Scratch that Donnie does know because he knows everything–) Donnie watches Leo breathe evenly, knows he’s asleep because his features are relaxed to a point that he hasn’t been able to fake. No mask for peace quite yet. Hopefully one never appears. 

See Donnie has another plan. A sub plan to the main plan. A side quest if you will. He’s been researching and cooking this one up ever since April pulled him aside and explained Leo’s anxiety to the rest of the family, in her patented I’m keeping it together because I’m April O’Neil voice. They brainstormed how to fix that. 

Hmm. Not really something that can be fixed usually. Well. Perhaps for anyone but Hamato Donatello. Sixteen year old brilliant scientist and protector of brothers. Especially younger twin’s who need some extra looking-out-for.

Donnie pulls up the spreadsheet with a flicker of familiar ninpo. The light hits Leo gently and he wiggles, hugging Donnie’s pillow. Thief. The things Donnie would do for this guy. 

Leo does wake up pretty quickly after that though, burying his face in the covers and taking a deep, deep breath. A habit picked up over the years. Always comes with waking up for the slider. Donnie wonders if it’s part of the anxiety. If they could circumvent the morning nausea with breathing. Leo doesn’t seem to think so; his face scrunches up and he sits up, looking for Donnie. 

“I have a list,” Donnie starts.

Leo, half awake and shaking off a weirdly, deep, peaceful sleep, hits his twin with an insincere deadpan and rubs his eyes.

“Why, D.”

“I like lists.”

“I mean yeah. I know. Why bring it up right this second though?” He yawns hugely and shuffles out of the blankets to press his shoulder against Donnie’s. Donnie, in return, nudges against him and bonks their heads together sideways.

“It’s for you.”

“...Nice.” And Donnie genuinely can’t tell if that was sarcasm or not.

First though, the original plan, the one before all the moving pieces got involved. Because it has been proven several times over and Donnie is a man of science. And Donnie’s not a softie for his family even a little bit. This is for science.

So the softshell stands up, dislodging Leo and sweeping around to grab his twin. Starting the morning hug while Leo’s not awake from insomnia or even fully comprehending the day. Nailing this day. That’s Donnie’s side quest. Pull this off. Joy and whimsy and Leo’s happy little smile, the one that crawls on his face and squishes it. Micheal would be so proud of this moment. Donnie wouldn’t be surprised if he’s watching somehow. 

Picking Leo up off the bed, Donnie hugs him fully, a good touch day and glad to have it. Leo’s warm from the blankets and shaking off the settle of sleep. He wraps his arms around Donnie and rests his head on his shoulder. They share space, as twins do. Donnie makes sure to feel all the contentedness he possibly can. Tries to pass it through the little winding paths in their minds. Where the ninpo lives and the twins share a sky. Brewing storms, lighting and wind.

“What’s on the list?” Leo mumbles, fingers tap-tap-tapping at Donnie’s leathery soft shell.

“I’m so glad you asked, dearest ‘Nardo.” 

…

“What’s this for again?” Leo asks, chewing his breakfast burrito. Mikey looks up curiously from where he has his nose buried in a new facebook recipe, fingers clenched around the industrial strength case. 

“What’s what for?” 

“The list.” Ominous.

“What list?”

“The list of crimes I’m turning you over to the police for,” Leo says seriously, setting his burrito down and sneaking over to Mikey. Donnie raises an eyebrow. “Number one,” and Leo grabs Mikey and nuzzles his cheek while the box turtle squeals and tries to scramble away, “being too gosh darn adorable!” Leo has his voice pitched up to be so saccharine it loops into teasing.

“Knock it off, Leo! I’d go to jail for a much cooler crime!” Mikey grumbles, hugging the slider even through his indignation. 

“Like what?”

“Murder!”

“Hell yes ‘Angelo,” Donnie says, raising his coffee mug like a toast. The younger two continue to squabble as Raph looks on fondly. Though his hero mindset might be concerned. Mind Raph debating on how much trouble the tide pod duo could reasonably cause.

“We don’t kill people,” the eldest says seriously. Smiling. Donnie pretends to pout, matching Leo and Mikey who turn big eyes at their brother. “We do NOT,” Raph repeats, sweating. He taps his fingers together nervously. “We haven’t?”

Donnie shares a very pointed look with Leo. 

Mikey grins like a shark at Raph.

“There’s no way,” he says, trying to convince himself more than state fact Donnie assumes. 

“Guess we’ll never know, Raphie,” Mikey says sweetly. Leo cackles from his perch on the counter, back to his breakfast, cheeks full like a chipmunk. Ew.

Raph grumbles something about brother nonsense and the twins corrupting Mikey. Donnie chuckles to himself (read; says “chuckles” aloud. To himself.) because Mikey couldn’t possibly be corrupted. Sweetest force of nature on the planet. Like a hurricane of sunshine and sparkles. Still capable of destruction.

The twins had no part of that. It’s just how Mikey is.

“Seriously though, Leo, what’s the list?” Mikey asks again, saying it like it’s a mysterious object found on a quest. This will come in handy later. Leo tilts his head and drums his fingers on the counter. Can’t sit still.

“I told you! Criminal!” Oddly shy about it?

Donnie opens his mouth to explain but Leo whips toward him with such a vulnerable, pleading look that the softshell takes physical damage, ducking into his mug. Ok. The list is secret then. Help has to be subtle. Donnie knew this. They all do. Part of Leo is his infallibility. Gotta protect that or he’ll feel like he has nothing left. Sure. Donnie can keep it a secret. Anything for his twin after all.

Mikey side eyes Leo but must decide it’s not worth it, leaning into the joke once again instead.

“Your silly list won’t convict me of anything, the jury won’t survive this baby face!” Cue anime shiny eyes and Raph’s knee jerk reaction to coo. 

“To answer your original question, ‘Nardo, this–” Donnie gestures at the kitchen. Nine am. Breakfast. Family. Etc etc. “--is integral to the function of the list. The whole point one might say.”

“I’m confused.”

“Shocker.” Donnie raises a perfect brow when Leo sticks his tongue out. Because he’s more mature than the slider obviously. Okay maybe he also sticks his tongue out, mocking his twin. But you can’t prove that, and you didn’t see. So there.

“Shocker,” Leo repeats, in a nerd voice, laughing through it. “I’m Donnie and I’m omnipotent.” He pulls the hand dance move that Raph ALSO does when he mocks the genius. Donnie is unappreciated in this family. He should’ve pursued world domination instead. Made Shelldon in charge or something.

Still, he can’t resist. 

“I’m Leo and I cried during Sonic 3,” he says, using the betrayed theater kid voice both twins mastered in a blanket fort years and years ago.

“You did too!” He did not.

“I did not!”

“If y’all don’t stop right this instant Raph will noogie you into next week.” Both twins squeak but Leo’s is obviously more embarrassing, backing away from the snapping turtle as he assumes an attack stance.

“If you three fight in my flawless kitchen I’ll GET YOU,” Mikey adds sweetly, hopping on the counter next to Leo, who turns wide eyes to his baby brother and then flicks them at Donnie. Like: help me! He’s going to GET me! A fate worse than death of course. And not one Donnie would like to tempt at this moment.

They have more list to get to anyways. Secret tasks. Side quests. 

Exciting!

“Come along, dearest twin, we have a day to have,” he states, already slinking out of the kitchen. Leo mutters “a day to have what kinda goofy ah phrasing is that” while he slides off the counter.

“Twin day! Twin day!”

Raph begins his going out speech at the , “Please don’t get arrested or killed or commit crimes or harass billionaires again or become local legends or cripids or commit arson especially or prank April’s mom or tie high school kids shoes together or enroll in shady theater troops or do donuts in parking lots or drift through wizard con or drink more than ONE energy drink or–”

“Cheese and crackers, Raph that’s like our whole day!” Leo cries in delight, smiling so hard it must hurt. Not fake though. Not a mask. Unbearably fond. “That was everything Donnie planned, all gone, put to waste! However shall we entertain ourselves.”

“Yeah, alright, Leon.” Raph comes over and noogies the slider. “I’m serious though. Stop harassing billionaires. They’re not smart enough to react in a mature way.” At Leo’s unwavering smile Raph sighs in defeat. “Minimal harassment!”

But Leo’s already caught Donnie in the doorway and swung around it.

“No promises!” And then he cackles madly down the hallway, rushing to his room to pull on his sonadow hoodie most likely. Or one of Donnie’s that he swears just mysteriously ended up in his laundry and he didn’t steal, promise D!

“I’d go gray if I had any hair,” Raph says, settling at the table with a third burrito. Unbothered. He faces Donnie, still leaning in the doorway like a cool unemotional bad boy. “You got him today?”

“Without fail, brother. I bid thee adieu.” And he saunters away. Off to grab a hoodie of his own. Today feels like a Hatsune Miku day. “‘Michelangelo.”

“Donatello.”

“Thank you for breakfast.”

“Aw of course, Dee!”

…

It’s warm and chilly out. The sun providing direct protection from the bristling wind that’s whipping through the city. Donnie feels refreshed. It’s refreshing. 

The twins jump roofs, laughing and tripping each other, Leo cheating with portals and Donnie cheating with heat seeking missiles. They chase each other and soak up the sun. Leo almost eats it over the edge of a building, caught up in the fun and Donnie has an arm out to catch him, to grab his arm and drag him to safety and chide him for being careless. But Leo rights himself with ease, breathing it off with a giggle. Completely unphased. Usually so afraid of heights. One of the many things the Hamato household watches out for, for Leo. Roofs and ledges and free falls that aren’t fun anymore, alone in the middle of the night, woken up from nightmares. They take care of him. Watch a little closer than two years ago. 

Donnie likes to believe he’s always been watching. Looking out for his twin. It’s his job after all. A give and take. Leo looks out for him in return. Equals. Twins.

He shakes off the emptied gun of fear. Turns the matching easy smile to Leo. And they jump the gap together. Breathless on the rooftop of the building they claimed as a secret hideout years ago. It’s an apartment with a stuck lock the landlord refuses to fix and the attendants don’t care about. So the hideout has a hidden cooler with more than one energy drink haha take that Raph and a thick outdoor blanket for stargazing or people watching or general chaos. 

Leo cracks an Alani and sips it carefully, hiding his fingers in his hoodie as a breath of cold air sweeps through. Hm. Maybe it’s a little cold out. Oh well. The sun feels nice. And the turtle in him demands Donnie lay and enjoy it.

This morning, he’d shown Leo the list, knowing that his beloved twin would read into it but not quite reach the underhanded care. Levels of deception in this family. 

It simply reads:

-Breakfast

-Fresh air

-Sunshine

-Clean room

-Video games

“So a to do list?” Leo asked, squinting at it. The purple Ninpo reflecting like a cat in his eyes. Creature eyes. Donnie had never thought about that before. How their eyes suck up light like a fellow animal. Something to test he supposed. Exciting! He filed that away for later.

“In a way.”

“You made ME a to do list?” The honest confusion had pleased Donnie at the time. Pulled one over on the strategist. Nice.

“Well. Yes you. And also me. This is what we’re doing for our twin day.”

Leo had shot him an incredibly happy look. Smiling, smiling, smiling. 

“Really? We’re having a twin day?”

“Why of course! I simply went ahead and planned the itinerary.”

Leo looked at the list again, analyzing. He frowned for half a second, trying to figure it out. But Donnie had honestly prepared to hangout with him. The deception came with trying to get rid of the anxious explosion without bringing it up. Or talking about it at a later date. Leo talked plenty with April, and he’d get more talks about it eventually. However Donnie had a hypothesis to test. And that involved Leo’s clinical eyes not finding anything. And he didn’t. Score, excellent, round of applause.

“Cool. I like it. Even if it’s weird.”

“Why’s it weird.”

“Because you made it, ‘Tello. And you’re weird.”

“YOU’RE weird.”

“Nuh uh.”

“Yuh huh.”

“Nuh uh.”

“Yuh huh. And also. I cast fireball!”

And then they beat each other up (affectionate).

“Pass me a good one,” Donnie says, dismissing his Ninpo. Leo tosses the stardust flavor, threatening to shake it while Donnie extends his neck menacingly, raising his eyebrows higher and higher until Leo laughs.

“You like the worst one,” he says.

“Not everything has to be blue to be good, Leo.”

“Um yes? All blue things are just automatically better. Especially better than purple things. I don’t make the rules. It was the universe. Or Gram-gram probably. Yeah. Yes. Of course. She decided.”

Donnie snorts. “She most certainly didn’t. Purple is the superior color. Always has been. THAT, is scientific fact. Ask any scientist. I know them all.”

Leo rolls onto his front, turning the energy drink around and around in his hands. “It must be hard being wrong all the time. I can’t even imagine.” With the shit eating grin. The I’m starting something, are you in?

ALRIGHT.

Properly insulted, Donnie summons a bazooka and takes aim while Leo cackles like the menace he is, rolling around and snort laughing. Donnie fires. Leo sputters as he’s covered in mystic glitter. Completely purple. He looks at Donnie. Donnie looks at Leo.

They explode with laughter, high and annoying, obnoxious like teenagers should be. A little hysterical, like twins should be. Leo tackles Donnie in a hug and hopelessly spreads the glitter, now the genius could dismiss it, Ninpo after all. But this is so much funnier; squeezing a hug into his chilled twin, drawing stars into the glitter on his hoodie covered shell. Morse code.

Love you.

“Love you too, ‘Tello!” Leo exclaims brightly.

He tries to escape, but Donnie abruptly misses his twin for no reason. A pang of minutes spent alone. Only a few. It felt like forever. He hugs Leo tighter. Dismisses the glitter finally and taps the morse code message again.

This feels like forever too.

“Lemme goooooo,” Leo whines, unserious. Warm in the hug.

“Timber,” Donnie states flatly, and falls over.

Leo giggles. 

They lay in the sun.

“Tello.”

“Nardo.”

“I’m cold.”

“Massive L.”

“Wow okay.”

But Donnie’s already getting up, closing the cooler, tugging at the blanket Leo continues to lay on. He rolls like a mouse off of it. Donnie folds it perfectly and Leo takes their empty cans.

“Who should we portal them to?” He kicks on the wickedest grin, devious, devious twin of Donnie’s.

“Someone truly evil.”

“I’m so all over it,” Leo says, he swings one katana above his head, “Hachiiiiii maaaaachiii—” and a spinning portal appears, he disrespectfully chucks the empty cans into it and is met with a yelp. The twins high five and Leo snaps the portal shut. They high five again for good measure. To ensure it echoes over the city. Maybe interrupts traffic. 

“Portal home or run?” Leo asks, with his easy smile.

Donnie clocks his shit. His job after all. Leo’s shaking, cold, like he said. What an impressive admittance from the bottled up slider. Donnie feels a spark of pride for how hard Leo’s trying. How hard he always tries. He clocks Leo’s weight shift to one side. Idiot not wearing his knee brace. 

A stronger breeze whips through and both turtles shiver.

Yeah they’re portalling.

“Let’s portal. I’m hungry anyways, the faster we get snacks the better,” Donnie says.

“Of course of course. Where would we be if you were hungry?”

“Dead. Chop chop.”

“Lmao.”

Stepping through the portal comes as easy as breathing. Donnie has full trust in Leo. Always has. They appear in the kitchen, sadly not startling Mikey who’s busy whisking dry ingredients for something or other. He simply nods in their direction and wiggles to his music. 

“ ‘Clean room’, D?”

“Yes.”

Mikey tilts his head, realizes he doesn’t care about keeping up with their conversation, and jumps on the counter to grab the liquid measuring cup. 

“Yours or mine though.”

“Yours.”

Leo makes a face. Like he ate a lemon on a dare (not that Donnie would know).

“K.”

Hm.

Leo starts pulling out sandwich supplies. Salami and cheese from the fridge, bread from the cupboards, a cutting board and plates. He bumps hips with Mikey, trying to distract the box turtle who grumbles and scoots aside so Leo can grab a butter knife.

Materials acquired, the twins make camp at the table. Leo sits on top of it. Donnie retrieves cups and juice.

Donnie wonders how Leo feels. He seems content. Happy. Shouldn’t be a mask; Leo got kind of bad at using them after the invasion, little bits of stage play attempts falling to pieces. He cried a lot in the med bay. Shared a lot of things Donnie would’ve thought he’d take to his grave. Well, things he almost did. Maybe that’s why. 

Lots of apologies in the med bay too. Mumbled under anesthesia and slurry with exhaustion. The whole family hated it. Hates it now when Leo apologizes for nothing. 

They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. Donnie wonders how Leo feels. He wonders. Could guess. Wouldn’t hurt. Not going to ask though. Leo’s got the easiest smile on, offering his wind whipped cheeks to Mikey to match grins with the baby brother. Mikey tells the twins he loves them. He loves them.

Donnie matches his younger brothers. 

As all consuming as the invasion had been, this crystallizes as more important. They can move on from anything else. 

“Let’s go clean your room, Leo,” he says.

“Ughhhhh, do we have to??”

“Yup! It’s on the list. Gotta follow the list.”

“How could I forget. The world could end again if the list goes incomplete.” 

“You get it.”

Leo sighs again. Interesting.

“Well let’s go.”

“I got your dishes guys,” Mikey says, already filling the sink with his baking supplies and dumping soap. “But you owe me ice cream–okayitsadealbyebye!!”

“Yeah,” Leo says, glancing at Mikey snickering to himself, “Let’s go.”

Lemme know if the link doesn't work I haven't done this before

[imagionationstation]

{Are you awake?}

Leo looks at the text with burning eyes.

He really shouldn’t be, but he was. So instead of staring blankly at the roof like he’d been doing since being rudely awakened by nothing, he pulls himself out of bed to go track down his younger brother who probably blew something up and is in need of assistance cleaning up the mess. Or hiding it.

Except. He’s not in the lab. Hmm.

Leo heads towards his bedroom, pushing open the door.

Donnie sits prone on his bed, staring at his t-phone.

Leo yawns, “Donnie?”

Donnie looks at him, eyes glassy, tears tracking his face.

Leo’s stomach drops into his chest. Donnie lifts an arm.

The older brother doesn’t hesitate, moving to his side to initiate the hug, letting him sink into it. He does, but with stiff, sluggish movements. His breath hitches against him. His arms hang loose at his sides, t-phone clutched in his trembling hand.

All he says is, “What is wrong with me?”

Leo doesn’t think about it. “Nothing.”

“I can’t do this.” Donnie whispers, “I can’t figure it out.”

Leo hesitates, “Figure what out?”

“Me.” He whimpers. “Something’s wrong. I can’t fix it.”

“Donnie-”

“Don’t. Please.” Moisture taps Leo’s shoulder. “I’m so tired.”

So Leo holds him tighter, if only so the cracks can’t break him.

And Donnie crumbles, safe until he’s ready to try again.

Sun in Pisces in 7th house

Honestly 8/10, I have a great sense and knowledge in how to pursue relationships with people and what they need, I am business type so yuh it drags me up, BUUTT Pisces here sometimes gives me "illusion" that all people have best intentions! WRONG ❌

Moon in Cancer in 11th house

I am deeply tuned with my emotions and highly empathetic ( benefits of this placement being in a Water sign ) I cried over a cat video where she got lost and couldn't find her way back :'( Also I had been prone to manipulation few years ago when I haven't fully developed my self worth and esteem. I am the "mom" friend since it is in 11th house ( house of friendships ). 7/10

Virgo rising

Ahh yes this placement saved my whole chart and it is fighting my dear life along with a Venus placement in paragraph after Mercury I am perfectionist and if something does not go the way I want it to go -> I will transform into a Maleficient. I know when to give RBF energy and to criticize myself and others. Gives me feminine features 10/10

Mercury in Pisces in 7th house (retrograde)

I am prone to OVERTHINKING due to planet going retrograde especially overthinking about relationships ( 7th house ). Bonus on that Pisces likes to imagine things so yuh. Positive side of this placement it gives me great creativity for writing! SInce it's ruler sits in my 3rd house ( house of writing and Geminis ). 6/10

Venus in Aquarius in 5th house

I prefer all types of clothing and a style, once I had a time were I didn't feel any type of feelings toward someone (2021). Venus here gives me unique beauty and I am great with a kids. I have many hobbies and I was great video games ( aquarius influence ). I like to post myself on social media. Cons: trust issues 8/10

Mars in Gemini in 9th house but conjucts Midheaven

I don't know how to feel about this placement ahahah, it gives me "I wanna study all things I like" but that type of college does not exist, prior to that I am PICKY. My passion is about travelling indeed and I like to yapp about things I know about. 6/10

Saturn in Leo in 11th house

*(I usually don't use Whole sign chart since this suits me more)* Well well karma indeed has my back if someone stabs me in the back or tries to hurt me in any way, that they their friends will turn their backs on them ( it happened ). It teaches me self-confidence since Leo and even online like how to manage with hate 9/10

Neptune in Aquarius in 5th house

Hmm illusions for crushes? Absolutely I had this phase 2020 and vice versa some guys projected their imagination and illusions onto me like "you and I gonna marry" ( we did not talk about it and were 16). Gives me creativity too in my hobbies and dreaming about one day succeding from them. 5/10

Uranus in Pisces in 6th house

When I was kiddo i had strange heart condition that happened because of my dream ( 6th house is for health ) soo I can hypothetically connect that with this lol. I romanticize about my routine and how I will clean my room. It conjucts my Sun so my persona is sometimes based on that 6/10
