This is a gift to the spectacular @vxlepop!!!
Lee: Leo🐢💙
Ler: Mikey🐢🧡
Summary: Mikey has noticed throughout the week that his oldest brother has been acting…off. Call him paranoid all you want but he just…he just knows something’s up with Leo. And the youngest of the Hamato brothers’ is determined to figure out what’s bothering they’re leader in blue.
Warnings: Tickling and spacing out (just for a tad bit though). If you are uncomfortable that please scroll down- this fanfic is definitely not for you :)
(A/N: T*EST DNI. I WILL ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS PUT THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF MY FICS- I DON'T WANT THOSE PEOPLE GETTING CONFUSED. THEY'RE BROTHERS U DISGUSTING ASSHOLES. UR ABSOLUTELY NASTY IF U SHIP T*EST-! THATS COMMON SENSE!!! GUESS COMMON SENSE ISN’T THAT COMMON, HM?)
——————————————————————————————————
Call Mikey paranoid.
Call him a worry-wart.
But his eldest brother, Leonardo, has been acting…off. And it’s been absolutely dreading Mikey inside this whole week to ask his eldest brother what was wrong. Leo’s been quiet, more than he usually is and even that alone is saying a lot. The oldest has been training with his swords non-stop, meditating like crazy and practicing speaking Japanese fluently, and not really talking to Mikey or his brothers, only if it had to do with those topics.
Which…now that Mikey thinks about it, it does sound like everyday Leo. But he just knows that somethings wrong with the leader in blue…there’s got to be. Maybe Mikey is worrying too much, he is known to turn little things into a big deal after all. But on the other hand, he has been living with his brothers his whole darn life, if anyone would know if something was bothering one of them, he would know! …probably.
And…now that Mikey thinks about it…
Leo hasn’t watched any Space Hero’s episodes this week…
Yup. Something was up. Mikey knew that for a fact now and you couldn’t tell him otherwise. But the real question is, what can Mikey do about it? Leo was very…closed off about his negative feelings, and didn’t like talking about them at all. Even though it was completely healthy and normal to feel negative emotions; literally every emotion is! His eldest brother told them that several times himself!
And yet, Leo never talks to Mikey or their other brothers about his negative feelings! Tch, what a hypocrite.
And…maybe this is partially Mikey’s fault as well. Mikey has always falled for Leo’s “older sibling worry™”, but Mikey has never really worried about him that much. Sure, when Leo’s injured during a fight or he sees his brother patch up a bruise from training he asks if he’s okay…but other than that Mikey doesn’t ask him that question often.
But it’s not like Mikey didn’t care enough to ask Leo that! He does! He really does! But the thing is…Leo’s always they’re leader, they’re older brother, they’re protection. Leo’s always been the one that’s just…been there for Mikey and his brothers- ways that even they’re Father can’t compete with and the youngest can’t be anything more but grateful for that.
And…the sad truth is Leo isn’t just they’re leader or protection, under all those labels Leo’s just a kid. An amazing, strong, independent kid who has more on his plate than any other 15 year old should. And it seems Mikey, including everyone else AND Leo, forget that sometimes…
“MICHAELANGELO!” Mikey jumped from off the couch in the living room at the sudden random yell of his name, pulling him out of his thoughts. Mikey grabbed his nunchucks from off the cushion. He began to swing them, looking around the lair in hopes to find whomever called his name. “Who’s there?! How do you know my name?” The youngest turtle demanded, swinging his nunchucks faster and doing complicated tricks with them.
“Mikey-“
Without a second thought Mikey closed his eyes and swung his nunchucks, coming in contact with a figure and them hitting the ground. Mikey opened his eyes and looked around before sighing in relief. A couple seconds after that the youngest heard a groan underneath him and looked down to see his older brother lying face flat.
“Wait- Raph???” Mikey gasped, immediately dropping his nunchucks to examine his brother that was lying on the floor groaning lightly. “What’re you doing on the floor, bro?” Mikey chuckled, confused and intrigued to hear as to why his brother was currently kissing the lair floor. Raph slowly got up from off the floor; massaging the right side of his head as he glared at the youngest.
“I was comin’ to check up on ya after I finished nappin’, but ya nunchucks just wanted to get to know my head better I guess…” Raph huffed, crossing his arms around his plastron and shaking his head. Mikey stared at Raph confused, his nunchucks wanted to get to know Raph’s head better?
Wait…
The youngest gasped in horror, going to his older brother and giving him a bone crushing hug. “Oh my god! Raph I’m so sorry! I spaced out and you know how I get when that happens so when I heard someone- apparently you call my name I just I dunno- reacted! I’m so sorry, is your head okay?!” Mikey rambled, releasing Raph from the hug and grabbed his head, shaking and examining him to make sure he wasn’t hurt. He continued to shake Raph’s head up, down, and to the side, making sure there weren't any bruises or cuts anywhere.
Raph struggled but soon got out of Mikey's surprisingly strong hold on his head. The second oldest turtle sighed and patted Mikey’s shoulder, giving him a genuine smirk. “I’m okay, lil bro. I was just jokin’ with ya, the hit wasn’t even that hard.” Raph chuckled, now sitting on the couch as Mikey followed, sitting next to him.
“Are you sure…?” Mikey asked, fiddling with his fingers and looking up at Raph, guilt very evident on his face. “Positive.” The older replied, wrapping the younger into a side hug as the orange banded turtle fully gave into the hug. After a couple of seconds the two released from they’re embrace. The older went to grab the remote and turn on the TV, putting on some random channel before turning to Mikey.
“What’s got you so freaked out like that anyway?” Raph asked, concern written all over his face. Because, yeah, the nunchucks did hurt, badly. Obviously! I mean- they’re nunchucks. C’mon now. Raph’s a strong guy but he’s not that strong for the hit not to hurt. He just didn’t want Mikey to feel worse than he already did.
There’s only been a couple of times where Mikey spaces out, completely unaware of anything that’s happening around him that he just…reacts when he’s able to get back to reality…if that makes sense. All those times being when he was around 7 or 8 years old, or sometimes when he’s really stressed about something. So for him to do it right now is a bit worrying…
Guess old habits die hard.
“It’s Leo…” Mikey said, looking down. Raph’s eyes widened, starting to get up from the couch to grab his sai’s that were on a table, which were just a couple steps away. “What- what happened? Is Leo alright?” Raph asked. Did he miss something important while he took a 2 hour Power Nap? What could possibly have happened in the 2 hours he was taking a nap?! …you know what? No. Why would he even wonder that? The universe has a way of making him and his brother’s lives a literal hell in the key span of 24 hours, who’s to say it didn’t max down to 2?
“What-? No! Nonono! Nothing like that! Leo isn’t in danger or anything!” Mikey reassured Raph as he guided him back on the couch. The older glared at him, slapping Mikey in the back of the head causing him to playfully yell. “Don’t scare me like that again, man…” Raph sighed in relief, at least his older brother wasn't hurt. Physically at least…
“Just…I feel like something’s up with him…y’know?” Mikey sighed. The red banded turtle nodded, letting Mikey know he was listening. “Why don’t you ask him about it then?” Raph asked. “I don’t wanna bother him, though…” Mikey said, slumping on the couch and looking up to the lair’s ceiling, in hopes to find the answer right there. But there was no way it would be that easy…it never is.
“Look. We all know that Leo can be…Leo.” Raph said, wrapping Mikey into another side hug resting his chin on the top of Mikey’s head. “And you know how he can be when we try to get him to talk about his negative feelings; he gets defensive. Which, honestly, I get. It’s hard talking about your negative emotions sometimes.” Raph started, recalling many times where he second-guessed himself to talk to his family about his feelings.
“But we all have to talk about it eventually, because stuffing those kinds of feelings inside yourself is like stuffing an already full suitcase; one of these days it’ll burst. And you will face the consequences and be left to clean it up.” Raph said, releasing Mikey from his hug and smiling at him. “I’m not the best at this whole big bro lesson thing, but just talk to him, Mike. Just talk to him.” Raph smiled, squeezing Mikey’s shoulder comfortingly.
The youngest beamed at that,“Thanks Raph! You’re the best!” Mikey cried, squeezing Raph into a hug. The red banded turtle squaked at the sudden contact, patting Mikey’s head comfortingly before both of them let go of each other. Mikey got up and ran to his eldest brother's room. Now 101% determined to figure out what was bothering his eldest bro. I mean, what could go wrong?
.
.
.
Leo wanted to go up to the surface and jump off the nearest building’s window in hopes he would get absolutely crushed by the upcoming cars of New York City. Which, he knows he shouldn’t say or think…but he really can’t help it right now.
He’s in a Lee mood, a bad one. And he doesn’t know what to do. Like any normal person, they would go and ask a family member or close friend to tickle them, right? Right.
But Leo couldn’t do that.
He just couldn’t.
It’s not like he doesn’t trust his family enough to ask. But he’s the leader, they’re protection, but most importantly, he’s they’re older brother. And he can’t be asking for such childish things out of his younger brothers. He just wouldn’t. So he would do like he did anytime he got into a Lee mood and just…deal with it until it subsided.
Annnndddd now he’s sulking like a little baby because he can’t just simply deal with it. Wonderful.
Just…
Wonderful.
The blue banded turtle sighed, flopping on his bed and burying his face in the pillow, letting out an annoyed muffled groan followed by a couple giggles soon after. Whoever designed pillows, Leo would probably want to marry that person right now because if the groan and giggled weren’t muffled from his pillows, his family would have run into his room, asking him a bunch of questions. Which Leo wasn’t in the mood for. Again, he was in the mood for something else…but he wouldn’t ask for it. There was no way.
Speaking of family, Leo heard a knock at the outside of his door, slightly flinching at the sudden noise. Leo groaned from under his pillow, taking a deep breath, “Who is it?” Leo asked, trying his best to sound at least decent but probably failed. “Hey, Leo!” Mikey greeted, inviting himself into the eldest room, closing the door as he entered. “Hey Mike, what’s up?” Leo asked, getting his head from under the pillow and sitting up on his bed, facing the youngest.
Mikey cleared his throat, going over to Leo’s bed and sitting on the edge of it annddddd oh man. Mikey didn’t plan ahead this far. Mikey sat on the edge of the eldest bed, opening his mouth to say something but quickly closed it. Mikey kept his gaze away from Leo and fiddled with his fingers, trying his best to at least say something but his mouth was not communicating with him at the moment.
The oldest saw the youngests’ fiddling with his fingers in his lap, Leo’s gaze softened as he got out of the covers and sat next to him on the edge of the bed. “You…do know you can tell me anything, right?” Leo said, putting a hand on Mikey’s shoulder. The youngest looked at Leo, face hardening. No! Nononononono! He wasn’t going to fall for this, not again. Not. Again.
This isn’t about him right now, it’s about his eldest brother. That’s the whole freaking reason he came here! To ask if he’s okay! Like hell is he going to change the worryness (A/N: Is that even a word? Worryness? Eh. Whatevs) onto him.
“You should take your own words into consideration, Leo…” Mikey mumbled, turning his face away from Leo, resting his head on both of his palms looking down. Leo looked at him in confusion, sitting closer and pulling him into a hug, resting his chin onto the top of Mikey’s head. The younger leaned into the touch, sighing sadly.
The two knew each other were upset, and wanted to help anyway they could. All of the Hamato brothers might be different people with different personalities, but one thing through all of them stayed the same…
They were stubborn as hell.
“What do you mean, little bro?” Leo asked. The youngest sighed again, resting on Leo’s plastron. “You’ve been kinda…uh I dunno.” Mikey started, “Distant this week?” Mikey said as if he was asking some sort of question, even though that was far from it. He knew his brother was being distant this week.
“Oh…” Leo said flatly, almost as if he was expecting this kind of confrontation about this. Leo figured this would happen sooner or later, just wasn’t expecting it this soon. The two brothers looked at the ground, both not being sure on how to continue the conversation.
“Just…I dunno…I feel as if you’re avoiding us? You’ve been training more than you usually do, doing a lot of mediation, more than Splinter, and you haven’t even watched any Space Hero episodes!” Mikey listed, finger curling into a fist before releasing in soon after. “I…I just wanted to ask if you’re okay…” Mikey said, starting to tear up about the fact that he realized he has never asked that question to Leo before.
“Well…I-“ Leo’s face soon turned a shade of red, the blue cladded turtle released from the hug put his face in his left palm, groaning. “I want to tell you Mike, I really really do but it’s just…embarrassing.” Leo said, looking at the ground, still blushing.
“…Did you get a girlfriend?”
“What? No-“
“Boyfriend then?!? HAH. I KNEW YOU WERE GAY! Raph and Don owe me $50 dollars each and a free pizza!”
“What- why would you- you guys bet if I was-“ Leo pinched the space between his eyes, taking a deep breath. That’s a topic for a different day…
“No, Mikey. I don’t have a significant other.” Leo said, chuckling a bit. Mikey groaned dramatically, flopping on Leo’s bed. “C’mon dude! You can just tell meeee! I promise I won't make fun of you!” Leo sighed and crossed his arms, still looking down.
“Or do I have to tickle the answer out of ya~?” Mikey teased, getting up and starting to wiggling his fingers near Leo’s side as a taunt. Leo started giggling and holding Mikey’s wrists, but not pushing them away at all.
Wait.
This seems so freaking familiar…
When Mikey was about to come into the room, he heard Leo giggling and he swore he saw the blue banded lightly poking himself in the side and skittering his fingers along his own stomach…
Why didn’t Mikey figure this out sooner?!
Leo…
Leo was in a Lee mood…
“Wait…that’s it isn’t it?” The youngest turtle said gasping, “You…want me to tickle you, don’t you?” Mikey grinned as he saw his brother turn a red shade that he couldn’t describe. “Don’t say that out loud.” Leo groaned, getting the courage to glare at his little brother.
Leo looked at his brother before groaning again. “This week I’ve felt…y’know….” Leo said, waving his hands trying to symbolize what he was trying to say because like hell was he going to say the dreaded word…or anything close to it by that matter. Leo began wiggling his fingers lightly before stopping. “That.” Leo said as Mikey listened.
“But…why didn’t you tell us, Leo? We would have understood and we would’ve been more than happy to tickle you!” Mikey said, stopping wiggling his fingers and relaxing on the end of the bed next to Leo.
The oldest sighed, a sigh Mikey knew too well.
With being the youngest, Mikey knew the kinds of sighs Leo did and what each of them meant. Sometimes he did a “Please-stop-joking-around” sigh or an “I’m-older-than-you-therefore-you-have-to-listen-to-me-” sigh, but this one was definitely a “You-wouldn’t-understand” sigh. “That’s- That’s not the same Mikey…you all are younger than I am.”
“…so?”
“So, that means that I can’t get into these weird…funks. It’s childish.” Leo said in a very relaxed tone, as if what he just said wasn’t the absolute dumbest thing Mikey has heard. And that’s saying a lot since the orange banded turtle has heard Donnie talk loads of times, and anything coming out of his immediate older brothers mouth is automatically dumb.
“That’s complete and utter bullshit!” Mikey yelled, getting up from the end of the bed and facing Leo. The oldest flinched slightly at the volume change but continued to look at the floor.
“First, I don’t think you seem to remember, Leo, but we’re quadruplets- dude, we’re the same age. You might be the oldest of us, but not by that much. And secondly, you’re a child too. We’re 15. You don’t have to worry about being childish because you are literally a child!”
“But-“
“Is me, Donnie, and Raph asking you to tickle us childish?” Mikey asked, crossing his arms across his plastron, recalling too many times where he and his other older brothers got into Lee moods and asked Leo to tickle them. “No of course not!” Leo interjected, looking at Mikey and getting up from the bed, eyes widened.
The youngest smiled at the reaction and went back to sit at the end of the bed, anger now gone from before. “So why in the world is you asking one of us to tickle you considered childish, hm?” Leo blushed a bit harder as he kept his gaze at the ground. His little brother actually has a point…which is a first.
After a couple moments of silence the youngest went to sit next to Leo, happy that his eldest brother could see where his reasoning to “being the oldest therefore asking for affection is bad” made no sense whatsoever. Leo sighed for like the millionth time today, putting his hand over his face and slowly dragging it down.
“So…if I asked for you to…to uhm, do uh, yeah. Would you…would you do it?” Leo asked timidly, which was something the orange banded turtle really never saw his older brother express. Mikey only chuckled at the older, beaming happily, “Dude, duh. Why do you think I made that epic speech about it being okay for you to ask for tickles?” Mikey said, crossing his arms and nodding his head in confirmation.
“So…can you…can you do the thing?” Leo asked, blushing again, “If…if you don’t mind-“
“Dude, of course! Literally all you had to do was ask!” Mikey smiled, wrapping Leo into another hug. Mikey then suddenly pushed Leo on the middle of his bed, sitting on top of him before wiggling his fingers over him teasingly. This was also something Mikey didn’t plan out either…the orange banded turtle wasn’t even sure where Leo was ticklish…which made the youngest feel a bit more guilty for not asking him about his Lee mood sooner. But he was gonna find out where his older brother was ticklish, obviously. How hard could it possibly be anyway?
“Just use the code word when you want me to stop, okay?” Mikey said. The oldest firmly nodded as Mikey began to lightly skitter his fingers around his brothers sides; the only spot Mikey knew for a fact Leo was ticklish, recalling too many times where he tased him in the side during training causing the older to stiffen and cover up his sides. Which he was doing right now, actually.
Leo squinted his eyes shut as he hugged his middles and tried to squirm away from Mikey. The younger laughed at how squirmy the older was suddenly but after a couple seconds he was switching between kneading, scratching, and prodding at Leo’s sides but his older brother's reaction was still the same. And he hasn’t even laughed yet! Not a single giggle!
“C’monnnnn! Laugh already!” Mikey whined as he picked up the pace with his side tickling tactic, moving up and down Leo’s sides. The youngest then moved to tickle Leo’s neck, causing Leo to suddenly squeak at the sudden six fingers on the sides of his neck and burst into a somewhat high-pitched laugh, kicking his legs and holding Mikey’s wrists.
“PFF-! NoHoHOh! DahaHaHAmmit!” Leo giggled in defeat, cursing himself for not being able to hold in his laughter any longer than a couple seconds. But Mikey happily smiled, finally being able to make his older brother laugh. “Hah! Works every time: never let them know your next move!”
Leo wholeheartedly glared at Mikey through his laughter as he poked Mikey in the plastron where his lower ribs would be- one of Mikey’s known death spots. The orange banded turtle squealed at the touch, twisting and turning on top of the eldest as Leo continued to tickle him. Oh that little cheater. “HEHEY! Hehey! NohoHOH!” Mikey giggled, wholeheartedly glaring back at Leo who only stuck his tongue out at the younger.
And here Mikey thought he was the little shit of the family.
“Oho you are gonna regret that, Leo” Mikey said as he stuffed his hands in Leo’s underarms. The older screeched, kicking his legs on the bed at a faster pace. “OHO MY GAHAHAD- WAHAIT! NAHAT THEHERE!” Leo cried, as he thrashed underneath as his legs kicked along the bedsheets. Leo put his arms down as he still was holding the youngers wrists as he evily evily traced in his underarm.
“MIHIHIKE! MIHIHIKEY PLEHEHEASE!” Leo laughed loudly, blushing a light red because as much as the older one was enjoying this, it was so embarrassing. Mikey was barely tickling Leo, and he was kicking and thrashing like a little kid. But again, he was enjoying this so he won’t complain.
“That’s what you get for tickling me, bro! I’m the Tickle Monster as of right now and no one tickles the Tickle Monster!” Mikey chuckled at Leo, now beginning to pick up the pace with his tickling at Leo’s underarms. The older whined through his laughter at the change of pace, trying to buck Mikey off of himself but the younger stayed sturdy on Leo’s waist as if it was glue. “IHIHI’M SAHAHAHARRY! Leo yelled.
The younger one laughed at Leo’s reaction to the new pace, deciding to turn it up a notch as he kneaded the sides of Leo’s underarms causing him to do a girly-like shriek and descend into mad-like cackles. “And here I thought the underarms were Raphie’s death spot!” Mikey said teasingly, “You’re literally squirming like a fish out of water!” The orange banded turtle taunted as the older face only reddened more at the teases.
“SHUHUT IHIHIT-! MIHIHIKEY GEHET OHOUT OHOFF THEHERE PLEHEASE!” Leo belly laughed as Mikey only chuckled at the older’s hysteric pleas. “Ihi can’t dude! My hands are completely stuck!” Mikey laughed. If Leo wasn’t laughing his shell off he would have rolled his eyes at that comment, but he can’t. “NAHAHAO THEHEY AHAHAREN’T!” Leo yelled.
“Yehes they are! It seems your amazing incredible strength is keeping my hands here~!” Mikey laughed brightly, completely loving this situation. If you know Mikey you know for a fact that he loves making his brothers laugh, especially Leo, who out of all the turtle brothers laughed the most. So this situation was like pure heaven for Mikey.
Mikey then easily moved his hands out of Leo’s underarms, shaking his hands out before cracking them a bit for dramatic effect. Ugh! Leo knew Mikey could have gotten his hands out anytime he wanted! He just wanted to be an evil little gremlin! Amazing incredible strength my ass. Mikey then held up Leo’s left as he used his other hand to tickle the olders stomach.
And if Leo was yelling earlier, then he was completely screaming up a storm now. Leo hit his free hand at Mikey’s hand, trying to cease Mikey’s cruel attack but when he was close to removing his hand, the younger would suddenly move to a different spot on his stomach, tickling worse where he was in the other spot.
“Awwww, Leo! I’ve never gotten to see you laugh like this, dude! Your laugh is so cute!” Mikey cooed, as Leo’s face turned a deep crimson at the compliment. The older shook his head back and forth, trying to stop the tickling sensation but decided to just give up and accept it as he falled limp on the bed and laughed to his hearts content. “AHAHA NAHAHO! NAHAT THE THEHERE!” Leo laughed louder, tears beginning to prick out of his eyes. “MIHIHIKE *snort* PLEHEHEHEHEASE!”
Mikey immediately stopped tickling Leo, putting his hands to his own chest in alarm at the noise. The blue cladded turtles’ face slowly began to turn a light crimson again, but now his face was a shade of dark red no one would be able to describe.
Leo covered his face completely with his hands, groaning the completely embarrassing noise he just made. The youngest of the twos’ startled look soon morphed into an evil smile, crossing his arms over his plastron in amusement.
There’s no freaking way…
“Oho my gohohod…did you just snort?” Mikey asked cheekily. “Noho ihi dihihidn’t…” Leo lied, almost regretting even asking for Mikey to tickle him…almost. “Dude you totally did! Do it again!” Mikey said as he suddenly dipped his head into Leo’s stomach, blowing a huge loud raspberry causing the older to completely lose his mind in snorts and squeals. “AHA! PLEHEHEASE! MIHIHIKE! *snort* IHIHI’M GOHOHONNA DIHIHIE!” Leo cried, still not fighting back but his legs kicking around all behind Mikey only causing the younger to giggle.
“Raph and Don are gonna get a kick out of this~!” The orange banded turtle said into Leo’s tummy, blowing raspberry upon raspberry not even stopping to give the older one a breather. He wanted to make Leo have a fun time but this was also revenge in some way as well.
“Y’know, your upper body has been getting a lot of attention. Let’s see how ticklish your lower body is, big bro.” Mikey smiled, turning around to Leo’s lower body which caused him to start slapping the back of Mikey’s shell, trying to forcefully push him off.
“EEEAHAHA! NAHAO *snort* DOHOHON’T!” Leo isn’t even sure why he’s screaming bloody murder right now, he doesn’t even know if his lower body is ticklish! But based on the past couple of minutes it wouldn’t be too high of an estimation to say his lower body was just as ticklish.
Mikey poked the middle of Leo’s thigh, causing Leo to let out a glass shattering shriek as Mikey only smiled at the reaction. “Leheeo whahat was thahat?” Mikey amusingly asked. Leo, too embarrassed to even respond just groaned and waved his hand for Mikey to go on with it, knowing there was no stopping his little brother now.
Mikey began to mercilessly squeeze, prod, and knead Leo’s thighs, even sneaking behind his knees and giving them a little pokes before going back to the thighs. Leo was in utter hysterics, not being able to stop Mikey and was forced to kick his legs and uselessly hit the back of his shell.
But obviously none of those tactics works as the younger happily tickles the sh*t out of his thighs. “NOOHOHO NAHAHAH! NAHA- *snort* MIHI- *snort* STAHAP!” Leo wasn’t even able to form a single sentence before going into loud cackles once again.
“OKAHAHAY! OKAHA- *snort* MEHEHERCY *snort* MIHIKAHAHEEY!” Leo cried, finally having enough. The younger sighed but got off his anyways, letting the older take a breather as he sat next to him. “This isn’t over, dude. I still have to tickle some other spots y’know.” Mikey said as he poked Leo on the stomach causing him to let out a soft snort before he poked Mikey back on the side. “Whatehehever…” Leo breathlessly giggled, scared but…honestly excited this wouldn’t be the last time he’d be able to mess around with his brother like this.
“Ahand thahanks, Mihihikey…I appreciate thihis” Leo smiled at Mikey. Now looking back, Leo doesn’t know why he was so afraid to tell his brother what was making him so upset. They’re brothers. They’re family. And like Mikey said before: Leo is a kid. He’s allowed to mess and play around with his brothers. So what if he's the leader? He’s a kid too. And it’s time Leo started realizing that.
“Any time bro, literally anytime!” Mikey chirped. After a couple moments of silence a lightbulb went off in Mikey’s head as he slowly turned his head to the oldest grinning like a fool. “Y’know what I just realized?” Mikey said, leaning on a pillow on the board of the bed. “Whahat?”
“You can’t say Leo without the Lee, get it? Lee-o?” Mikey joked, nudging Leo in the side, his eyebrows raising up and down comically. Leo rolled his eyes wholeheartedly, playfully shoving Mikey’s face away giggling still; due to the aftermath tickles and Mikey’s funny joke. “Ihi gehehet ihit yohou dohork…”
“Just something I thought I’d share.” Mikey shrugged, smiling. Leo rolled his eyes again, now adjusting his place on the bed so he sat next to Mikey. The younger rested his head on Leo’s shoulder as the older leaned in to the touch. “Well thanks for sharing…” Leo muttered. The two sat in comfortable silence for a while, Leo’s giggles now subsisted as the two just enjoyed each other company.
“We heard screaming, are you two okay!?” Raph asked as he slammed Leo’s door completely open causing the oldest and youngest to fall flat on the floor due to the sudden noise and force. Raph gave out a tiny “oops” before getting out of the doorway to let Donnie in who was following him earlier.
Mikey and Leo both exchanged glances before bursting out laughing. The two middle children looked at each other than back at the oldest and youngest complete confusion. “I’m gonna take those hysterics as a ‘yes we are completely fine”?” Donnie asked as him and Raph helped the both of them up so all the turtle brothers were standing. “Yeah, we’re okay.” Leo confirmed as Donnie and Raph relaxed at the olders confirmation.
“Oh! Which reminds me…” Mikey grinned, looking back at his older brother with a Cheshire grin before turning to his two other siblings. Raph and Donnie looked at each other again before looking at Mikey. The two middle children were so so confused as to what was happening as of right now but figured it would be best not to ask any questions. “Raph, Don, I have a little secret about our eldest brother-“
“Mikey-“
“And I’m sure this secret will…how should I put it? Tickle your funny bone...”

IDW spoilers below, teeechnically Mirage & Next Mutation spoilers too ig?
blah blah blabbering because that's one of the many things you can do on tumblr.com
bloopity bloopin, turtles all being traded on the black market as pets, medicine, or decor to be... "prepared". 'cept Jennika, keeping her IDW origin because it's badass and I like it. eco vigilantes freed them one fateful night, same night someone(s) stole some mutagen for a rival company to TGRI, boom collided in their getaway routes, away floated Venus just like in NM and some others who lalala may or may not be some mutanimals
playing mostly with coloring, Rise introducing markings is such a nice and refreshing change from the all sam green turtle, different bandana color turtles I grew up with. fanon taking that concept and applying it in conjunction with actual turtle colorings also scratches my visdev brain node just so
hm... still fiddling with their plastrons... Venus' and Jennika's are fine though
Leo
funky li'l ringed map turtle
can't see it but, he got them little ridgey-spikies on his shell
christ, I'm finding a way to attach Iris symbolism to him, either through markings or something else
Iris in hanakotoba is... basically all Leo; nobility, bravery, honor, courage, heavy samurai association
5'2"
Raph
McCord's or Amboina box turtle idk idk idk can't choose
stuck on coloring him with a scale mail feeling to match the box turtle photos I found
....I needa draw him beefier, he can stand to be beefier
5'6"
Donnie
literally just googled which turtles exhibit the highest INT, wood turle consistently listed plus some have funky geometrically patterned/shaped shells
tossing on how do the plastron coloring, really liking the dark spots on it
probably keep the lightened belly/inner limb coloring
...probably... lol idk
5'8"
Mikey
my perfect chonky boy, no notes except he (and his brothers) need plastron do-overs
and now i am stuck with the heart-on-his-sleeve marking
canon 2 my iteration it is done
he gets to be the slider this go round, if just 'cuz he's technically the first born (in terms of creating TMNT and its story and world)
let him have the fluttering, finger drumming on everything and everyone because he's bursting with "i love you" energy anyway
5'4"
Venus
"my pretty daughter" iykyk
sea turtle as per last couple iteration posts
cultivator instead of "shinobi"
"i aM ShiNObi"... guh, just, I dunno, the term "cultivator" wasn't really known back in '98 like that, but she had the medicine box, she worked to learn how to throw a fireball at Vam Mi, she was pleased at her progression when she defeated the counterspell from the staff of Bu Ki. that's cultivator shit right there.
she's still a pugilist more than a iron fan user
looks up to April like a big sister, speaks canto and hakka with her
cuz she's still a linguist scholar like in Next Mutation so duh she speak all the languages (to an extant, she has a lot of studying left to go after all)
the greenified hawksbill coloring is growing on me...
still needa futz more with the plum flower motif on her
also figure out her huadian situation or just scrap it idkidkidk
her bandana + 50% green coloring is also growing on me....
5'10"
Jennika
technically also ringed map turtle since it was Leo who gave her the blood transfusion
I like the idea of bringing her Blaschko's lines to the forefront post-mutation but just... it's a lot of stripes. and goddamnit I ain't even gonna go deep into much of anything with the comics I just... can't not world build rip me
6'0"
April
still so tickled at April being closer to the turtles' ages in these new reboots and fascinated how it's played out
...but mine is a clean 44 yo, so. (turtles in late 30s)
Laird originally conceived April as an asian woman in his notes, Eastman drew her as a biracial woman he was dating at the time (April Fisher) and... idk what to tell y'all, people are running around being mixed in this world all the time, Brooklyn got hella Jamaican/Chinese so there you go
can speak canto and hakka
April being a "weirdo" as I've seen mentioned in Rise can stay, I'm picking that, that's a great trait to her character, big fan of Poly Styrene, loved Rachel True in The Craft
where "weirdo" is just she's into alt subculture and being in New York... she got her hands everywhere in those scenes
She and Chu Hsi get to have the most shoujo fuckin' romance because it's cute
and she's still a living drawing which I'm changing around a bit being why she felt like a "weirdo" and leaned towards subcultures and the turtles, she did eventually begin to destabilize but Venus stabilized her by trapping her in a scroll so she could work on a solution. ...where she has a long, happy relationship with Chu Hsi in the painted world scroll because lol time dilation
saw somewhere on the hellsite that the tooth gap is passed around every iteration... so April gets to have it
5'7"
Irma
i'm not ashamed to say I just reupholstered Nadia from Russian Doll
87 Irma went through a lot so she can have some dry wit and humor and be fly as fuck, big hair, big glasses, and a big attitude
still besties with April
likes moths, they're just neat little guys with rabbit ears iykyk
there is a very specifc size of her hair I am battling to keep consistent the problem it never feels big enough
says "fuhgeddaboutit" and has yelled that she is, in fact, "walkin' here,"
... she might also have a little bit of Myrtle from AHS: Coven sprinkled in now that I'm thinking about it to sum her up
she knows somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody for any random thing you could want to try to find
all the delis and bodegas know her
discusses plot lines from soap operas with Splinter on weekends, they get heated
5'5"
... god all this and I was just gonna have them play spades and play a round of pickup street ball in silly little comics
#if you know my timezone#and you see me posting this#stop snitching#what are YOU doing at the devil's sacrament#leave me to my demon hours#i should probably try melatonin though...#cuz this shit ain't working#how am I fuckin' alive???#spite#things tasting good#turtles#general nerd shit#and don't worry king#they still love your boys in the AU-verse#visdev is my enrichment activity#my dumb ass just happily knocking these out and not posting#cuz i was distracted by the euphoria of creation#hhh i needa push my shapes more#they can be crunchier

Warnings: mentions of domestic abuse and kidnapping
Please keep yourself safe.
Static.
Words.
Someone left a radio on.
No.
Sharper than that.
A speaker.
A phone call.
“-I know you ain’t second guessing my scanner!”
“You tell me then! No phone!? Who doesn’t have their phone on them!?”
“I’unno, but it sure as hell ain’t my problem.”
“There has to be something!!!”
“Boy!”
“A microchip! Maybe it’s too small to pick up!?”
“That’s not how it works!!!”
“Just stop trying to explain it to him; I gave up years ago.”
“The hell?! I’ve been working with you fools way too long to just let that go. You were looking right at me when I explained it to you last week!”
“Now…. let’s say… Hypothetically, that I was looking at a particular green that was stuck between someone’s teeth…”
“…”
“…”
Cough.
“I’m done. Over. Nada! That’s it! I’m going to unleash Mayhem and let him take you down.”
“What?! May loves me! He would never!”
Squeak.
“See!”
“No, I am not putting you on camera!”
“Uh, Leo…”
“Whatever, fine! Go through your snore sesh again then if you’re so adamant!”
“You-!”
Chirp.
“Fine.”
“Mhm.”
“Next time I see you, I’m slapping you for that tone.”
“Can it not be the face? I had a bruise for like six weeks last time.”
“It’s definitely going to be the face.”
“April!”
“Hush up and listen.”
Groan.
“The scanner connects to the natural energy of the body. It’s mystic! It won’t miss anything; it doesn’t matter how small, organic, inorganic, whatever! Your brainwashed victim isn’t brainwashed, augmented, or anything else. They have nothing hidden on or in them. There’s nothing whatsoever. Now say ‘I’m a dummy’ if you understood.”
“I’m a dummy.”
“It is no longer going to be the face.”
“Thank you! You’re the best!”
“Yeah, I know!”
“Alright… Guess that means we’re going with interrogation.”
“Hey, what’s up with this anyway? You’re being real cagey about a Hypno victim. He doesn’t usually put anything in anyone’s bodies, that’s more like…”
“…”
“…”
“No.”
“April.”
“No fucking way, Leo! I’m done. Out. Fuck this. Fuck you! I cannot BELIEVE YOU-!!!”
“I told you.”
“Mikey, not helping! April, please-!”
Click.
“…”
“…”
“Why did you put her in that position?”
“You complained, but you sure as hell didn’t stop me.”
“How am I supposed to, Lee? How is anyone supposed to-?”
“Y/N is awake.”
“What?!”
“They’ve been awake.”
“Raph, what!?”
“Since when!?”
There was a creak as someone stood up from an old chair.
“I don’t know if they’re at full yet, but at least a little over a minute.”
“Full what?!”
“They don’t look awake.” The voice came so close that you could feel their breath tickle your face.
They’d eaten something with pesto for lunch.
Launching at them with a snarl, they screamed.
“AH! NO BITING!” Mikey stumbled several feet back with his limbs in the air before he toppled over.
Your body shuddered from the movement as a constriction kept you from getting farther than you would have thought. Vertigo spun waves out from what should have been straighter lines as your head bobbed downward. Swaying without your control, you stared at the ropes tied around your torso. Tongue rolling in your mouth, you tried to complain, but what came out was an odd groan.
“E-easy…” Mikey’s hands turned to usher you from the floor as he crawled upright on his knees. “The spell wears off like waking up from a bad nap.”
Nap?
“Weren’t you working on a fix for that?” Leo’s voice griped.
Where was he?
“This is so wrong…” Raph’s voice added like a gruff beacon.
“So we’ve all heard.” Leo must have whipped toward him because there was a fast swish of some kind. “You won’t shut up about it, in fact! Neither of you will! If you’re so bothered, why don’t you just leave already?”
Mikey was coming closer.
You gave a cotton mouthed warble in fear.
“Because there’s no way I’m leaving this to both of you. Not after Mikey dropped the literal package! Not after you lied, Leo! This is way out of line!!”
Kick.
You had to kick.
When you did nothing happened.
He had said spell.
Was that why?
Straining, you reluctantly broke away from staring down the orange turtle to look down at yourself. Your legs were slightly parted and in line with the legs of a wooden chair. Closing your eyes to sharpen your groggy senses, you put all your effort into feeling your limbs. It came slow, but you caught uneven wraps that indicated your legs were tied. Then with a shuffle, you got your fingers flexed and felt the rough edges of ropes around your wrists. Blinking open with exhaustion similarly tied around your brain, you glimpsed Mikey sitting cross-legged right in front of you.
The horrified squeak that came from your chest was not something you were proud of.
“Mikey, back off!”
“Dude, I’d be scared of you too! Give, Y/N a break, would ya?”
“Huh?” Mikey whipped around with genuine dismay. “What did I do?”
“You almost killed them for one.” Leo walked over with his arms folded.
Blearily, the rest of the room was starting to manifest.
Raph was right behind him. “You knocked ‘em out!”
“Hey!” Mikey clicked his tongue and returned to you with huge puppy dog eyes. “You don’t remember that last part do you?”
Looking down from where you were trying to expand your map, you gave him a deadened glare.
“Oh, you remember…” Mikey grimaced.
Raph appeared as a tower and his hand dipped straight into the back Mikey’s beige button up. As the smaller turtle’s limbs shot out, his clothes took definition. His top was only buttoned on the last one which created a deep v to show off his decorated plastron and chain necklaces. He was then lifted straight off the ground which allowed his luna pants to drag. Hoisting Mikey high enough to level with him, Raph stared him dully in the eye. “Calm down, would ya?”
Leo gave an approving nod as he took Mikey’s place. “Now then.”
You had a few choice words that felt wet on your lips and gagged to your ears. Brow coming down as you surely had control of your mouth, you wound your jaw to find that the cotton you had been tasting was actual fabric. It tied tightly around your face, digging into your cheeks, and had soaked in a copious amount of drool. You translated your disgust with the sharpest protest you could make.
“Ears.” Leo announced before reaching around you.
You winced until you felt his fingers at the tie. As soon as it came loose you screeched at the top of your lungs. Throat on fire and body wracked of oxygen, you stopped only when black tinted the edge of your vision. It clung like a smoky fog as you panted and flicks of starburst spread out in wayward arches. Recovering enough breath so that you didn’t feel as close to losing consciousness, you lifted your head to find Leo’s palms pressed snug against the sides of his head. Just behind him Raph stood similarly with Mikey opting for fingers to his tympanum.
Slow and ready to put them back if need be, Leo removed his hands. “As someone who’s experienced that spell first hand more times than I can count, you should just about be able to recognize surroundings. Take a look, I’d save my breath if I were you.”
“You’re literally saying ‘try as you might.’” Raph rolled his eyes. “Do you hear yourself?”
“Do I-!?” Leo stomped away to throw a finger into Raph’s face. “Mister ‘You’re making a mockery of the team, Leo’?! All you’ve done is second guess me for months now-!”
Beside them, Mikey watched the pair with his fingers still to his head, looking back and forth as if he couldn’t tell what they were saying.
Over their bickering, you looked beyond as distance rendered in real time. Blinking wide, you found twinkling lights highlighting arches in what was clearly a subway station. All the usual markers of it were cleared away and looked as if they had been for years. Stairs fed on either side and the chosen furniture made it look like a sort of war room. There were several boards erected on one wall with tons of notes and pictures. Across it there were tables and chairs that came in a variety of sizes to appropriately fit whichever occupant. Looking down at your ropes again, your chair in particular seemed to be missing from its ancient dinner table.
“Enough!” Leo roared and you caught him slapping Raph’s hand from his shoulder. “You’ll back me up.” He turned and marched toward you with a quiet spit of, “You always do.”
Raph’s brow creased and his expression read torn. “You don’t give us a choice.”
Mikey unplugged his tympanum and it was the last thing you caught before Leo occupied all your vision. With a fling of his arm he caught the back of the chair and tipped it as he poured over you. “Why’d you pick Raph?”
Beyond him you could hear Raph give a growl of frustration.
“That’s… what you’re upset about?” You sounded breathy.
“I’m mad about a lot of things currently, but yes. I’m kinda miffed about it!”
“Versus…” You shook your head to clear residual clouds from your mind. “… you kidnapping me right away?”
“That wasn’t-!” Leo looked scorned and snapped away.
In doing so your heart shot into your throat as you tipped forward and your chair attempted to get back on all its legs. Thankfully, the clatter only rocked to a halt.
“Careful, man…” Mikey hummed, his voice rounding.
“Look.” Leo responded flatly, making his hand a demonstration where you spied the sunglasses he’d once worn. “If someone would bell his tail like we keep telling him, then the real plan wouldn’t have been busted up so fast.”
“It makes noise every, single, time, I move!”
“That’s the point, Reptar!” Leo rolled his eyes.
If only you could kick.
Leo was in perfect kicking range.
“Y/N.”
You glared at him.
“The plan…” He drifted out before straightening up. There, he blew out a breath and did a half-turn to address the room. “We were enjoying the farmer’s market like everyone else when I heard a distinct ‘Donatello is a villain’ from not too far away.”
Though you were tied up, your arms felt loose.
“I dipped to investigate and saw you and your friend. You telling her all about him.”
“You eavesdropped…”
“Yeah.” It wasn’t exactly remorse on his face, but there were signs that he wished he hadn’t. “It ‘cleared up’ several things for me, but also a few glaring issues.”
Not knowing whether to scream or pale, you sat with parted lips.
“One, that he’s still active and two, that all the people tugging my ear holes had a point.” Leo turned to pointedly look at Raph and Mikey.
He received folded arms and a lolled head, respectively.
“You need to talk to us.” He addressed you. “Clear up what has become an insane misunderstanding.”
Forcing all your weight down, you managed a hop in the chair. “You fucking think!?”
“Yeah…” Leo’s teeth flashed and he leaned away. “Can I keep going?”
“I literally can’t stop you.”
He tried to force a smile, but it downturned along with the lengths of his arms. “Alright, so I took that new info to the guys and we agreed on that much.”
Raph made a noise that said that wasn’t quite right.
Leo didn’t turn, but his pupil darted in that direction. “We were going to snoop around where we were already shopping and see if we could covertly catch your eye for an amicable chat.”
Unable to focus on his stupid face, your gaze drifted up to his bald head.
He’d had a hat at one point.
Probably to cover it up.
“My ideal scenario was like this: me and you bump into each other at the jam stand. You ever try fig mostarda, by the way? Mikey put me onto it recently with chicken and prosciutto and mama mia!” Leo came up and pinched a finger to his thumb.
“It’s all about balancing flavor.” Mikey chirped.
Something about the response knocked Leo back into his point. “We’d meet. I’d recommend the mostarda. We’d try samples and I’d ask if I could borrow you for a talk.”
“And somewhere in there you faked free shit to lure my friends away.”
“I panicked! Raph got caught!!” Leo threw his arms out. “I wrangled Mikey and it was his idea! He’s friends with the jerky lady!”
“We met at a workshop.” Mikey chuckled.
“Then, you clearly felt like you were being ambushed and-!”
Your lids fell so far your eyes almost closed.
“I… turned it into a real ambush.”
Raph’s arms came undone for a hardy flick that said that was what he’d been waiting for.
Suddenly looking mortified, Leo only then seemed to take in the entire scene. “Fuck.”
“Wait, you didn’t realize until just now?” Mikey’s head leaned forward with utter disbelief. “Like right now?”
Leo shot him a guilty look.
Mikey let out a long whistle.
Raph smacked the back of Mikey’s head.
“Hey! What’d I do!?”
“You enabled him!!” Raph held out the same hand to gesture toward Leo. “He was in one of his moods and you went along!”
“For the record, I totally mentioned that earlier.” Leo held a hand over his mouth while talking to you at a normal volume.
“Double hey!” Mikey whipped his head around. “Leo’s plans work out! I was trusting the system!”
“You don’t even trust the regular system!” Raph pinched between his eyes.
“How could I?! Physics lies!” From where he’d sat cross-legged on the floor, Mikey began to lift off and float like a wayward balloon.
“Not everyone can do that!” Raph gave a big sweep so the air generated would blow Mikey away.
Spinning upside-down and bun hanging on for dear life, Mikey grinned with nothing but teeth.
“He gets to fly and have hair. Life truly favors the youngest.” Leo sighed.
“Let me get this straight.” You ground out.
They had no self control.
Leo turned toward you with honest interest.
“You try to stage what is basically some kind of fucked up meet-cute to clear the air, and when it goes wrong, you get me alone, use Raph as a distraction, throw the attention of the crowd, knock me out with magic, bring me to the subway, and tie me up to interrogate me!?”
Silence prevailed like an itchy blanket.
“When you say it like that, it sounds terrible.” Leo grimaced and was clearly sweating.
“Because it is!!! Why are you like this!? Who thinks like that!? It’s like you’re a cartoon character!”
It also sounded eerily familiar, but you weren’t going to get into that.
Raph made his way over.
Leo, nerves fried, went on high alert. “And where do you think you’re going!?”
“I’m untying Y/N. This has gotten way out of hand. You know it now so let’s knock it off.”
“No!” With a slide of outstretched arms and legs, Leo blocked his brother from you. “We still don’t know what they’re up to!”
With his height, you could see Raph set his face with irritation. “Leo, you heard April. They’ve got nothing. Which-” He looked at you. “-are you alright? Why don’t you have a phone?”
It had been a long day.
Your eyes closed as you rocked back.
You couldn’t see it, but you could sense Leo whipping around at your hesitation.
“What… you caught the tail end of was…” Doubt held your tongue.
Here you were, miserable in having a front seat to their antics when your friends weren’t much better.
They just weren’t superpowered.
You paled at the thought.
Shoving the concept aside, you at least sympathized with how tired you were of all the damned misunderstandings. “… a fucked up not intervention because Coral, my friend that you saw, thought… Donnie was… hurting me…”
The two parties you could see stiffened with open worry.
“He isn’t, to be clear.”
“But she had reason to think so?” Leo took an honest step towards you.
“I don’t want to get into it, but yes.” You shot him what you hoped was a clear look. “It was circumstantial and none of it was his fault.” Letting your expression sour, you injected venom. “You should know that much though. From listening in.”
Leo shirked to the side. “I… may have tuned some stuff out.”
“Leo!” Raph threw his head back.
“You smell it too!” Leo hissed with a sudden ferocity. “You’d do the same!”
Raph balked and his gaze fell to the floor.
Mikey floated slowly to your right. “Smell what?”
“Don’t ask!”
“You don’t wanna know!”
Mikey shot you a curious look.
You blatantly ignored him.
Raph waved his arms to change course. “How does that explain your phone?!”
“Coral thought…” You shot a barbed look at Leo. “… that Donnie might be tracking me. She stole my phone and tech-” Your mouth snapped shut.
“You do have tech!” Leo jumped and landed pointing at you as if he’d revealed a great mystery. “I knew it!”
Your head shot away which you both hated for its guilty factor and because it put you right in the eye line of Mikey.
“Also! Vindication!” Leo’s fingers were flying to accuse all parties. “I’m not paranoid! I’m not the only one who thought all of this and, triple point score, this girl didn’t even know the purple pain-in-my-ass was a bad guy!!”
Having validated nonsense, you clocked the back of your head against the chair.
Raph pushed Leo out of the way like he weighed nothing. “Y/N…?”
“Yes, Raph?” You stared at the brick ceiling.
“It sounds like… you’ve answered this question a million times, but… does he?”
“No, Raph.”
A hush fell that was broken with a skin slapping noise. When your head came back down, Raph was rolling his eyes as Leo batted at him.
“Tell me about the tech!” Leo jumped away before Raph could stop him.
“No.” You glared daggers.
“Is he converting you to the dark side?” Mikey did a little wiggle to right himself.
“No!” You didn’t pass the orange turtle a look.
“I’m convinced!” Mikey lowered with purpose and landed on the tips of his toes. “I’m with Raph now, Lee. Let’s let Y/N go.”
“Et tu!?” Leo gasped. “You didn’t even clear anything up!”
Mikey’s expression fell, but nowhere near the other times you’d seen it do so. “I’m reminded of a saying from group; you can’t change how people perceive you.”
“Todd-ism’s are full of it!” Leo hissed.
Mikey continued on as if his brother hadn’t spoken. “You can only try to be a good person.” He turned towards you. “I haven’t been good to you and you have every right to hate me for it. No more second guessing you or pushing.”
A little stunned, you gave a wary nod.
Mikey walked over to Raph to punctuate his chosen side.
“No! What?! No!!” Leo screeched. “We were going to take turns!! We were going to fix this! We were going to make everything right!”
Staring at the manic back of Leo’s head, you could only think of how he didn’t handle change well.
It was another bizarre coincidence.
“Let me start from the beginning!” Leo’s light bulb going off shined so brightly that it blew. He turned wild eyes towards you and grabbed each side of the back of your chair, getting dangerously close to your face. “It all started when we were 14! Some new mutant came onto the scene-!”
“Leo, that’s enough!!” Raph gave what sounded very much like a final warning.
“Leo, you’re losing it! Calm down, man!!” Mikey pleaded.
You could only feel two things:
Your racing heart and fear.
The hairs on the back of your neck stood up at the all encompassing broken expression on Leo’s face.
“-We were fucking teenagers and this asshole comes up comparing back stories like it’s a fucking competition! Swinging in with intelligence that was incomprehensible next to us! Where I’d been the ‘idea guy’ at best, suddenly everyone’s lives are in my hands on what can only be described as a whim! I tried my best to keep my team-my family alive in the face of a murderer. So yeah, I developed fucking anxiety, but who wouldn’t!? It was relentless. It was my whole life! It was all consuming!! Ever present!!! One wrong move and they die! They don’t come back!! When that’s all I have!!! Plus! There’s this whole other me that failed so badly he ended the entire, fucking, world!!! I had to be better than was ever possible for me, myself, or I, but especially better than him!!!”
You blinked.
Your lips rounded.
“Oh.”
The vowel popped out.
Weak and small.
Barely alive.
“Shit, he’s having a meltdown.” You heard Raph say.
“Already on it.” There was a rush of sound and you knew it was Mikey’s chains.
Leo blinked and his pupils disappeared.
He was gone from you before your muscles could alight with terror at the change.
What happened next came in colors.
An exploded rush of red that seemed to envelope the whole room.
Your chair flew out and orange chains netted like a catcher’s mitt to keep you from hitting a wall.
Over a dozen blue discs appeared with flashes of green soaring through them faster than you could track.
Your chair hit the ground on one leg and you felt the wood splinter from impact.
Then, there was a voice.
Gruff, but booming.
“Boys!”
Everything stopped.
In a single lid fall and raise, it was all gone.
All the color was reduced to three men standing at erect attention in a line.
Facing one of the staircases.
You were slow to turn there.
Standing with one hand against the wall and a single foot off the steps was a little rat man.
With white hair, a worn-in yukata, and a cane, he positioned the latter to help him make the final descent.
It took a grunt with his weight, but in a slow turn, he took the room in. “What is going on here?”
None of them could bear to go first.
They hung their heads.
Like they were reduced to children.
“You boys haven’t fought like this since you were kids…” The rat man’s gaze hit you and his expression fell. “What is this…? What have you done?”
Their bodies didn’t shuffle, but you saw the back of Raph’s head turn away.
With a clack of his cane against the brick, the rat man charged straight over to you. There, his gaze appeared from under bushy eyebrows as he openly took you in. “Who… are you…?”
Eyes widening as his met yours, you placed a wayward comment. “You’re Lou Jitsu…”
Struck by the name, he leaned back. “Oh!” Shifting from surprise, he stroked his beard. “What’s this?! I still maintain my looks! I told you boys I will always be recognizable!”
“Or…” Your gaze dropped. “You had a few names. Yoshi… or…?”
He gave a single sharp bang with his cane before his aura tripled the size of his small height. “How do you know that name?”
“I’m…”
He’d called them boys.
Raph had mentioned their dad.
They consider themselves brothers.
“Well?” He turned to give you a single focused eye.
“I’m dating Donatello.”
It was like you’d punched him in the gut.
Visibly shaken, he wheezed on a breath and took a step back.
“Dad!” Mikey called out.
The man rose a single hand to stop them and coughed violently, clearing his throat.
Not leaving formation, Mikey pulled the hand he was reaching out with to nurse at his chest.
The rat man managed a deep breath and set himself. He then turned and, from the way the turtles reacted, he was doing a fatherly scan of an incident.
You watched guilt pass each of them differently.
Mikey flicked a glance before dropping his gaze to the floor along with the hunch of his body.
Raph took a pained expression and sent it to the side.
Leo’s whole body twitched, but he remained the firmest.
He stared his dad down openly.
They stood like that for a long moment before the rat man returned to you.
In that single exchange, though it seemed clear he’d been left out of the loop, you could tell he knew everything he needed to.
“Do you deserve this treatment?”
“No…” You debated it for a moment and then gave in. “…sir.”
“None of that.” He ushered before giving an effort to kneel down. It took a pinch to his face but his long pink fingers came around one of your legs. “Splinter is the current name you are looking for.”
“Oh.” The sound was unlike the one you’d given Leo. “Master?”
He shook his head and the binds to your left leg fell loose.
“Splinter.” You repeated aloud to cement it.
Your right leg came free and he slowed, psyching himself up to stand. You watched him and picked up on how he was avoiding your gaze. “Is…. dating… new? I have not heard much about this…”
His voice was so small.
Almost as small as him.
It was also as broken as a parent trying to scrape what little they could about a child that no longer spoke to them.
“It’s…” You softened in spite of worries that he might deserve that absence.
Something told you he didn’t.
There were so many misunderstandings.
“It’s new for him.” You spoke fondly. “We just had our one year anniversary.”
Splinter perked up and one of his ears flicked with intense interest. His shoulders then hiked with embarrassment as he attempted to tuck it away and get to his feet. “Congratulations are in order.”
You nodded, heart yanked. “Yes, he’s… very romantic.”
There was a sharp exhale from one of the turtles.
It was no match for the pride oozing off Splinter. It buoyed him to his feet where he began to undo the knots at your back. “I… would like to ask another question, if that is alright?”
“Sure.” Your arms came loose and you flexed them.
“Is he…” Splinter’s voice shattered and he had to hold onto a shard as he undid the last binding.
In a slow release, the ropes around your torso slacked.
He hobbled all the way around you to get strength from your gaze to continue. “Is… Donatello… I mean… Is he… alright?”
Leo clicked his tongue so loudly it sliced through the room.
Without you even blinking, Splinter’s cane disappeared from existence.
You only found it because of the loud noise that emitted from Leo as it hit him in the face.
“Orange.”
“Yep!” Mikey sang and stepped out of formation on a single leg. In a peppy hop, he snatched up the cane from Leo’s collapsed form and ran over to pass it back to his dad.
Splinter took it with a little smile and Mikey gave him a peck to his forehead before jogging back to his place.
“Can I ask you something?”
Splinter’s ear flicked again. “I assume you have many.”
You nodded.
“Please.”
“He… Donnie…” You clarified and wrung your free hands. “He said you never looked for him…?”
Splinter gave a sad sigh. “Would you mind coming with me?”
Your lips twitched.
Splinter took notice. “This is not ideal for you or my back. I require my chair.”
You gave a single laugh. “Something orthopedic?”
���Yes, I can never say that word.” Splinter gave his own puff of humor before glancing at the turtles. “Blue, portal.”
Leo had just gotten back up. “You’re joking.”
Raph glowered down at him.
Mikey smacked a hand to his face.
“What?!” Leo shot a sour look down the line. “It’s not even about this, but ho’boy you better believe I’m pissed about it! It’s about him abusing my power! He does this all the time! It’s an ongoing thing! Last week it was just to get the remote which, by the way, ended up being on the arm right next to him!!”
“It takes like two seconds.” Raph’s hands turned up to gesture how ridiculous Leo was being.
“Says the guy who’s 7’6”! You literally don’t even have to embiggen to get whatever crap he needs from the top shelf” Leo folded his arms.
“Leonardo.” Splinter addressed evenly. “I will listen next family meeting. For now….”
Leo’s lips pursed before he held his hand out. There out of a blink of blue light, he pulled out a sword and swung it. In front of you, a blue portal appeared.
“Thank you.” Splinter bobbed a thankful nod before walking through it.
You gave the boys a final glance before moving to enter it as well.
Coming out the otherside felt like nothing and you watched as Splinter was already scrambling up into an armchair. Now in a glorified TV room, there was a huge projector on one wall and familial seating scattered about the space. With Splinter’s grunts filling the air, he eventually got turned around before reclining back with a contented sigh.
You stood awkwardly beside him and reviewed the options which ranged from a sofa to an old patched bean bag. Nervous, you perched on the edge of the closest couch seat.
Taking a moment to bask in relief, Splinter’s eyes opened with a faraway look. “I did.”
You perked up.
“I know he does not believe me, but I did not know… that he survived. I saw four turtles, but only three slid out during the explosion…” His head turned towards you. “In the chaos, I looked for the fourth, but the lab was collapsing. I had to assume he didn’t…” His gaze sharpened and he looked forward again. “I would hold that assumption for 15 years.”
Your eyes darted, trying to log every single word and candor.
“The boys did not tell me when they found out. How could they? I had never mentioned their… other...” Splinter gestured downward and you looked out to see another staircase leading out of the room. “I would come to know only after overhearing them complain about a purple assailant off handedly.” Pain bled into his features. “I do not blame them. For a long time none of us were very honest with one another.”
Your gaze flicked up with knowledge. “They… you’re saying they didn’t tell you when they met Donnie?”
“I did not find out until a year had passed since he was revealed to be another turtle.”
Your head dropped.
What was wrong with all of them?
That was rhetorical.
It was also frustrating beyond comprehension.
“I could have cleared things up, but…” Splinter’s hand spun, gesturing to what he’d already explained.
You brought your head up, weakly.
“I remember that moment clearly: I was eating cereal and dropped my bowl.” He lifted from his chair with a slight wince. “I left then to find him. My… what I considered my lost… son…”
The last word was so quiet, you had to put it in place through context.
“I found him within the hour. He was… not what I expected.”
Your eyes widened.
“I could not…” Agony warped his words. “I could not approach. I felt shame. I was at fault. If I had only-“ He choked and crushed his lids down to compose himself. What surfaced were wounds that had been ripped open time and time again, never healing quite right. “I had made a habit of running away. Always. From everything.”
You stood and looked for tissues.
Splinter massaged his temple. “I ended up shadowing him for many, many nights. Never able to approach. I saw… what he had become… what had been done to him… What he continued to do.”
Not finding them, you approached his side.
He looked at you with a forlorn fondness. “Another mistake on many. In my distraction, I did not see what was happening with my other boys. The Shredder took form and by the time I was able to meet with Donatello, it was under the worst circumstance.”
You gave a shallow nod.
“I would try over and over to reach him after that.” Splinter’s eyes shone and then he sent them away. “Too late.”
Your hand pressed into the armrest.
He covered it with his own. “Too late to help my lost son. Too late to help the ones I raised. Almost too late to keep humanity from perishing.”
“It didn’t…” You whispered.
“It didn’t.” He agreed. “I have made more mistakes than I care to count.”
You caught his thumb and squeezed.
“I could not keep them from hurting each other.” He choked out.
You dropped to your knees to meet his eye level.
He looked over you with a tiny smile fighting against his pain. “There is no need to feel bad. I did nothing but age and fail my boys.”
You wanted to protest, but even now, you still didn’t know enough.
You had very little to offer.
Only what you knew.
“Donnie is amazing.”
Splinter’s eyes popped open and a single, fat tear rolled out.
“He’s loving and kind and a genius and totally insane and I adore him.”
Splinter leaned forward and his other hand added to the stack.
“He laughs now.” Your head tilted and you couldn’t keep a smile off your face. “I’ve never asked, but I don’t think he ever really did in a happy way?”
Splinter gave a rapid nod.
“He smiles a lot. Way more than when we first met. It’s like everyday he’s a little bit happier.”
You felt little claws dig into your skin, but it didn’t hurt.
You glanced at the projector. “He still doesn’t like movies, but he watches them. He’s not one for music, but he doesn’t mind when I hum a tune. He’s got these ninja-like moves, but he can’t throw a piece of candy to save his life. He’s an amazing chef and went through a food science phase which was both good and bad. He… When we met he was on a ridiculous quest to find a good sandwich.”
“Mikey loves to cook!” The phrase shot out of him with a near sob.
“I’ve heard sort of: that he goes to fancy shops and now the farmer’s market.”
“Too adventurous!” Splinter gave an annoyed grunt. “He makes the best food and then inedible dishes!”
You laughed. “We had raw meat dry aging in our fridge for weeks!”
Splinter removed a hand to bang it as a fist to the chair. “I’ve had enough jerky to shrivel up and become one!”
Sharing in chuckles, he broke the moment first with an exhale that spoke to an ages old held breath. “Thank you… I did not catch your name.”
“Y/N.”
“Thank you, Y/N.”
“Thank you.” Your shoulders bobbed. “You saved me.”
Splinter clicked his tongue, not unlike Leo. “I have been left out yet again.”
Sympathy came, but he dispelled it with an irritated rock of his body.
“To do this while I was out enjoying a competition! From my dojos! I cannot believe them!” His eyes closed with indignity as he threw his head back.
“That’s… you were… at what-?” You stalled, hit with way too much information.
“The Lou Jitsu Schools of Ninjutsu!” Splinter sharply bobbed with pride. “Raphael brought them back from the brink and reestablished us as the top martial arts school in the city!”
“H-huh.”
Splinter eyed you. “You have not heard of this. I doubt your taste.”
“Hey!”
He gave a snicker.
You puffed out your cheeks, annoyed.
“I’m sure you do not want to hear me drone on any longer. The kidnapping was enough. Let’s get you home.”
Your gaze flattened out on how he’d so easily glossed over that second part.
“BOYS!!!”
You jerked away at the sound, ears ringing.
Splinter turned to address the turtles as they clambered in.
“Don’t they all have super hearing…?” You rubbed your drums.
“Yes, they were listening in.” Splinter eyed Mikey specifically who whistled away.
“Why?”
“I like yelling!” Splinter pronounced with his entire chest.
You groaned and rounded the back of the chair.
“Leonardo, you will not hinder Y/N further.”
“Just me?” Leo spit, quiet.
“Your back talk says it is truly only you.” Splinter stood and tapped his cane to the cushion. “Deliver them directly.”
Leo went ramrod straight and fury rolled off of him. “Dad, you don’t-!”
“You will not fight.” Splinter looked over his shoulder at you and winked before returning to his son. “Call him.”
“You have Donnie’s number?!” Your hackles went up.
“Not… exactly…” Leo was looking so sour that he was a moment away from pickling himself. “It’s a nuclear option kind of thing. One use only.”
You tilted your head, not sure how that worked.
“Meaning we can’t blow it just because someone got their phone taken away like a kid!”
You bristled, but felt Splinter’s ire turn towards you. “You do not have a phone?”
“If you didn’t know, why'd you ask me to call!?” Leo whined.
“Call is general! I do not know about your nuclear system! That is for power plants!” Splinter snapped away to scold Leo before returning that grouch to you.
You had to avoid that tough fatherly eye. “It’s a long story...”
“Who does not have a phone these days?!” Splinter fussed.
Leo threw his arms out and hummed loudly at Raph.
“Even I have a phone.” Reaching into his yukata, he pulled out an older model. “I hate it.”
“It’s so easy though, dad!” Mikey groaned.
“Yeah, yeah.” Splinter brushed the lot of them off with a flick of his huge tail. “As I said.”
“‘You will not fight’!” Leo mocked. “So great when you can throw a decree down on me knowing full well the other party has no obligation to follow it!”
“He will. As you will also pass a message along.”
Leo froze in his stoop to turn a curious gaze up.
You watched Leo, confused, before realizing the whole lot of them were wide-eyed at this message idea. Turning to Splinter, you caught, up close, the way his gaze tinted with suffering. “You will tell him to meet me at our usual booth. He will understand.”
“Dad…” Raph mouthed.
“Have you…?” Mikey covered his mouth to keep anymore from coming out.
In front of them Leo held up a fist which had the tactical code for silence. “The family meeting is tonight.”
Splinter gave a nod as if this was a bargaining session.
Leo turned away and signaled for Mikey to follow him.
Raph watched them go, on edge.
Splinter let his posture drop and pressed a hand around his back. “I apologize Y/N. I also ask, if… he will permit…” He slid you a small glance. “If you will come as well?”
“Uh… sure.” You nodded, not exactly sure what you were agreeing to beyond some kind of meeting.
“I am going to sit and watch my programs now. You can stay or go.” Splinter waved you away before collapsing into his chair.
You frowned at how dismissive he was until he spoke a final time with a heavy heart.
“Thank you.”
Giving a little sigh, you nodded. “Of course.”
Raph was twiddling his fingers, near the stairs.
“How long will the call take?”
Raph surfaced from his thoughts and craned an arm behind his head. “The way I understand, it gets forced through, so it’s more like how long it’ll take him to get… not here, but… whatever meeting place Leo sets.”
“Does he… not know where here is?” You walked over.
“It’s a big ask, but can we keep it that way?” Raph turned, urging you to join him in descending the stairs.
“I don’t see how that’s something I can do.” You followed. “Like, again, how he doesn’t already know.”
“We’ve, uh, got a network kinda thing protecting us from his bots. It took a lot of trial and error.”
“It…” You gave one last glance to the disappearing rumpus room. “You’ve clearly been here awhile.”
Raph nodded. “Longest yet, going on six years.”
“I won’t tell. I also have no idea where we are because of the kidnapping.” You barbed the last word.
Raph droned out an abysmal sound.
Satisfied by it, you continued. “But I can’t help… Donnie being Donnie.” You grimaced.
Raph showed his understanding with a glance. “Dad’s weird code better mean something. I don’t like the idea of sending Leo alone.”
“I can’t guarantee he’ll listen to me, but I’ll try to keep the exchange civil…”
Raph had reached the end of the stairs having casually taken them several at a time. Where you were about to reach him, he turned back with honest confusion. “Why?”
“Why��?”
“Why… would you? You should want to support him, right? After what we did…” Raph glanced back and you realized you were back in the pseudo war room.
“I don’t…” You slowed, not sure of exactly how to put it. “Whatever is happening with you all is… so much bigger than me. Even with a bias… taking sides when there’s so much I don’t know…” You hit the landing and quieted, lost.
Silence beat the air until Raph chuffed.
You looked up to find him sporting a lopsided grin with a sharp canine peaking out. “I see why he likes you.”
A blush crept onto your cheeks and you had to look away.
Raph hummed with light laughter.
Needing to distract yourself, you kicked only to scuff your shoe on brick. “By the way…”
“Yeah?” He examined the ground as if looking for a pebble.
“What was with the scary Leo warning? Not doing it Leo’s way?” You looked up with a faint dusting still lingering.
Raph’s lid dropped along with his head like a heavy weight fell on him. “I really don’t like that mustard'ah! It’s all those dang little seeds. They get stuck in my teeth and then my fingers are too big to-” He blinked his eyes wide, seeing you anew. “-and I’m realizing now how scary it musta sounded. Raph does not wanna be like those guys so let’s say I mighta been worried about how a talk with Leo might have gone…” He gestured to some of the wreckage that marked the earlier meltdown. “…which is sometimes not great.”
“I’ll take it.” You gave a sort of defeated smile.
Leo stormed up a set of stairs you hadn’t seen used yet. “We need to go.” He located you and his gaze narrowed, lethally. “Now.”
“Leo…” Raph urged.
“I know.” There was a split second break in Leo’s staunch façade and you saw a flash of how genuinely nervous he was.
“Where’s Mikey?” Raph held himself back and his posture told you it was because of you.
It was an unspoken agreement.
You weren’t supposed to see that kind of weakness.
You moved over to Leo’s side.
Leo tracked you the whole way. “Keeping an eye out.”
“Which entrance?” Raph straightened his composure.
“Grand.” Leo clipped. “Stand by at Black Cat and I’ll signal if it goes south.”
With a tight nod, Raph took off.
“We’re hoofing it and he isn’t going to wait. Follow me.” Leo headed back towards the stairs he’d come up.
“Can’t you portal? Sounds like you know where.” You glanced at where Raph had gone. “Isn’t it… bad for me to see where we’re going?”
“I’ve monitored you. You don’t have the mapping capability for a ‘one and done’ memorization.”
You sneered, having to triple your speed only to keep falling behind. “That doesn’t answer my first question.”
“He can track mystic energy to an extent.” Leo threw a glance over his shoulder and saw you struggling. He slowed a little.
You parted him a wilted form of gratitude as you hit the bottom of the stairs, passed some old retrofitted subway cars, and disappeared down a dark tunnel.

hi hi!! love your writing sm!! and i was wondering if you had any fic idea between 2012 leo and mikey! i feel like their bond as oldest and youngest brothers is really sweet 🥺
thank you! hope you enjoy, thanks for the prompt! :)
x
Mutagenic goo rains down from the dark sky in thick splatters. Leo’s breath is ice cold in his chest as he takes desperate heaves to swallow it down.
The remains of the Mega Shredder lay still across the long stretch of road, unmoving and in pieces, there’s a faint trill rattling around in Leo’s head.
He lifts himself up off the floor. His limbs feel like lead.
He makes a disjointed reach for one of his katana’s. There’s a lone nunchuck laying beside it.
Where’s Mikey? His heart slams into his chest in a second. Where’s—
Donnie and Raph have appeared in front of him. How they managed to reach him in such succession, he neither asks or cares. They look furious.
“You took him with you,” Raph seethes. His sai’s wink at him where he’s got them in tight grasps at his sides. “You took our little brother with you on your suicide mission.”
Leo tries to speak — tries to defend himself that Mikey insisted he come with! But words fail him, sticking in the bottom of his gut, he tries to twist away to catch a glimpse of his youngest brother but Donnie is catching his wrist with his hand and forcing him towards him.
“It’s your fault!” He more or less growls at him, like a wounded animal. His entire face knits itself together with unbridled anger. “It’s all your fault!”
Leo’s chest grows tight. His legs seem to be buckling from beneath him, certain that the only thing keeping him upright is Don’s iron grip on his arm still.
“What will you tell Splinter?” Raph spits. When Leo looks towards him there’s a wet, glossy sheen clouding dark, fierce green eyes. “How will you tell him about what you’ve done?”
Leo chokes on the words that won’t come, replaced with hot, burning bile instead that’s creeping up his throat, he whines instead and then —
A scream. Loud and shrill and all three brothers are turning so fast they all nearly lose balance, and it’s April, crouched over a familiar, unmoving shape and…
“Don’t look.” Casey is here too now. He looks… haunted. “It’s not good.”
Leo tries to scream. But nothing comes. His throat is raw and burning, but no noise is able to escape him.
Leo wakes with a start, his heart crawling back down his chest again, he feels it pounding across the inside of his plastron.
His palms are slick with sweat as he rips his blanket off his legs, swinging them over the bed he steadies him as he stands.
It… it was just a nightmare.
The dark corners of his room slowly come more into focus as his eyes adjust to the night. He quickly regains himself by pointing out the details that he knows:
His Space Heroes poster that’s tacked up on the far wall, a little creased and torn after finding it in the middle of an old, outdated magazine.
The old martial arts book that Splinter gifted him long ago; the spine cracked from overuse and the bookmark that’s wedged two thirds of the way in.
This is his room. His eyes slide towards his nightstand where his lamp stands. Flicking it to life, a small explosion of orange hue lights up his corner of the room, illuminating the framed photo that stands there beside it.
He swallows thickly.
It’s an old photo, taken when they were maybe around twelve years old, growing into themselves still evident in the bulk of their shells and the muscle lean, Mikey takes up most of the frame with his wide, toothy smile and bright eyes and Leo feels his chest clinch.
His nightmare was exactly just that. Something sour tickles the back of his throat. But it had almost not just been a nightmare. Today it had very nearly become a reality.
The bitterness refuses to budge even when he swallows again, so he moves from his room towards the kitchen in refuge of water. He stops short when he notes the figure standing at the fridge before he can get there first. “Oh.” Mikey says shortly as he whips around. He doesn’t have his mask, instead pulled around his neck loosely, this way Leo can make out the purple rings that circle his brothers eyes. The tiredness that’s etched itself deep across his boyish face. “Busted,” he grins. “Oops.” Leo sighs, dragging a hand down his face like it might rid him of his own exhaustion, he only manages a small, weak huff of a laugh. “Yeah.” He says. He moves closer, Mikey making way for him as he reaches for a bottle of water. “Why you up so late?” Mikey holds up the bag of shredded cheese in his grasp before reaching in with the other hand, bringing out a handful, he grins at him. “You won’t tell dad, will you? That I’m making a midnight snack out of his stash.” Leo snorts. “He always finds out,” he says plainly. “He has the nose for it.” He pauses. “Literally.” Mikey shrugs, having weighed up the consequences already it appeared, he tips his head back, opens his mouth and sprinkles in the cheese. Leo watches him as he unscrews the cap off his bottle. “You know cheese before bed is bad for you,” he tells his brother warningly. His own nightmare ebbs around the corners of his mind. He takes a swig of cold water like it might just wash it away entirely. Mikey hums. “Yeah.” He sets the bag down on the counter. “Couldn’t sleep anyways.” He says it like it’s so normal. He says it in a way that has Leo’s gut growing hot and cold at the same time so he puts his drink down and sucks in a breath. “Yeah, me neither,” he tells him. Two days ago, Leo truly thought he’d lost his little brother. Two days ago he’d watched a monster devour his sibling, tossing him down his gullet without care. Two days ago he’d felt a grief and rage burn so hot inside him, he could feel the after effects of it healing within him. He isn’t so sure how Mikey is here, standing before him entirely unscathed after that entire ordeal, but he isn’t going to dispute it. Still. Guilt is eating away at him like a growing parasite. He shifts from foot to foot and Mikey gives him a sideways glance because he’s always the first to notice when something is up with one of his brothers. “I need to apologize,” Leo blurts before Mikey has a chance to talk. He averts his gaze, ashamedly, staring at the bottom of the fridge instead. “For the other day.” There’s the rustle of the cheese bag where Mikey’s got it in his hold again, fingers dipping in for seconds. “Apologize?” He questions. “For what?” Hurt bubbles up in Leo’s chest like an ugly blister. He closes his eyes but all he can picture is his father’s horrified face when Leo tells him what happened. How he… how he almost got Mikey killed. “I should never have put you in danger like that. The other day, at Shredder’s lair.” His throat bobs. There’s still that awful taste lingering there. Regret, Leo thinks it might be. Regret and shame. “It was a really stupid thing to do.” “Put me in danger?” Mikey says after a beat, voice catching onto an airy laugh. Little bits of shredded cheese fall around at his feet as he waves his hand about. “Leo. I chose to go with you. You didn’t make me – if anything I’m the one who should be saying sorry.” Leo’s quick to shake his head at that notion. No. He thinks sourly. This was never his fault. Mikey sets the cheese back down again, this time to reach over and land a hand on Leo’s shoulder.
He looks up to face him. Baby blues blink up at him. He’s still a little taller than Mikey but as he stands here in the dull light of the fridge bulb, he notes how much more he’s filled out in the past months. The shape of his arms no longer distinguished by stubborn baby fat. The way his shell seems to fit him a little more snug now (with still some space to grow because he’s always going to be the runt, but Leo would never admit that outloud to him.) This brother right here resembles nothing to the picture he has in his bedroom. He’s not a kid anymore.
“I’m okay,” he tells him, voice low and gentle. “I survived and so did you and yeah it was a little reckless what we did, but when are we never not stupid?” Leo laughs, something wet and wobbly sounding in his chest. He draws back a shaky breath. “Dude. I get it. You’re my big brother, you guys are always gonna worry about me. Nothing is gonna change that, not in this lifetime anyway.” He smiles, all soft around the edges and knowing. “But I can handle myself. If I’m doing stupid shit like getting eaten by Mega Shredder’s it’s because I did it all by myself. Not because of whatever mistakes you think you’ve made.” Leo’s heart squeezes around itself. “But–” Mikey shakes his head back at him, cutting him off swiftly. “Nuh uh.” He moves only to put the bag back in the fridge, closing it, the room quickly fills with darkness. It’s a familiar comfort. “We’re done here. So you can either go back to bed and sulk about it or…” his mouth curves upwards into a slight grin. “Or we can totally watch the Space Hero’s made for TV movie with the subtitles on until one of us falls asleep.” He gives Leo a pointed look. “Your choice, bro.” And truth be told, Leo doesn’t like sulking all that much. Not when he’s doing it alone, that is. So he follows his brother into the pit where there’s already an array of blankets and Mikey’s found the VHS tape in mere minutes, sniffing it out like a bloodhound and they watch their movie on mute as Mikey grows heavy against him, eyes drooping shut, Leo doesn’t nudge him awake or remind him he needs his eyes open to watch the subtitles. Mikey might be right. He’s old enough to make his own choices, whether they’re good or bad. It was just part of growing up; Leo knows he’s had his fair share of bad decisions in his lifetime already. His little brother wasn’t a baby anymore. He was a fully fledged ninja – he’d proven that time and time again and yet–
Leo carefully reaches over his sleeping sibling to drape one of the discarded blankets over his form. Mikey doesn’t stir and Leo feels his heart pinch. And yet. He was always going to be his littlest brother still. No matter how big and brave he got – that was one thing remaining unchanging.
#this was so fun to do. 2012 leo and mikey have such a special place in my heart ;___; i hope you enjoyed this anon !#once again these do go up on ao3 as well so please check them out there too! :3#thank youuu !! <3#tmnt 2012#tmnt fanfiction#tmnt fanfic#tmnt fic#tmnt leonardo#tmnt michelangelo

Very Late Tickletober Day 7: Flustered
Summary: Raph sees Leo acting funny around a certain scene of Space Heroes.
Note: Now don't tell anyone this........ but this is indeed a tickle fic. Lee Leo and Ler Raph.
._._.
It came out of nowhere and that was the only reason why Raph even noticed it. If Leo knew how to chill out and not react even slightly then he wouldn't have looked over. But instead, Leo was happily slouched back and watching his dumb sci-fi show.
Until he suddenly shot up like someone had set fire to his shell, blushing bright red and slamming the pause button.
"Uhh, you okay there, Fearless?"
"What? Oh yeah! Totally fine. Yep! Go back to your reading," Leo practically sang as he... fiddled with the remote controller. Not actually pressing any of the buttons or even looking at the tv screen.
Raph of course then put down his comic. Looking at the screen revealed nothing. It was the usual Dorkface's team looking shocked at a bunch of aliens carrying these neon pink guns.
Leo kept awkwardly messing with the controller, not looking up.
"You can press play, y'know?"
"I know!" Leo whined as if they were ten years old again.
"Then why don't you?"
"This episode sucks anyway." Leo absolutely failed at keeping that lighthearted as he went to pop out the video.
And what kind of brother would he be if he didn't then immediately pounce on that.
"Woah, woah! Slow your horses there. An episode of this show you don't like?" Raph grabbed Leo's arm before he could eject anything.
"Yeah, so what?" Leo weakly said.
"Well then I have to see this. episode" Raph pulled them back into the sofa and snatched the controller from his unsuspecting grip.
The noise that erupted from Leo was something he would only expect from Mikey. A manic whinge as Leo cried out his name and instantly scrabbled for the controller again.
"Give it back! It's just a bad episode!"
"And I want to watch it!"
"No you don't! Raph stop being childish!"
"Childish! Me, being childish? Look in the mirror, babynardo!"
"Raph!"
"Leo!"
"Quit it!" Leo suddenly hardened and pulled out his ninja moves to start actually pinning him down. Luckily, Raph was also a trained ninja. He threw Leo's weight away from him and managed to stab at the right button on the controller.
The episode continued and Leo let out an inhuman screech. Leo thrashed around and tried to snatch back the controller but Raph kept a tight grasp.
Captain Ryan stood boldly before the aliens and ignored the other guy yelling about how dangerous the weapons the aliens were carrying were. The aliens didn't care about whatever the Captain was prattling on about- which Raph could relate to.
It was like every second that the episode played, Leo got more frantic in stopping Raph. He had long since given up on getting back the controller and was now grabbing at Raph's head to force him to look away.
But Raph battled back. His mask was getting in the way since Leo was twisting it but he still saw the scene clear as day.
The ray guns blasted a streak of pink lightning which engulfed the Captain. Only for him to fall to the floor giggling. The aliens had tickle guns. The silted awkward animation didn't really capture the act very well. The tickling only lasted a few seconds before the aliens then ran away. Not even a full ten seconds.
Raph was smirking wildly as he turned to look at Leo. He had withdrawn away from him and was hiding his bright red face in his hands.
Raph paused the tv to really hammer home how embarrassing this must be for Leo. "Really?"
"Shut up Raph!"
"Aww, is the baby too embarrassed about the tickling? Does the baby feel weird seeing his hero being tickled? The guy who kins being tickled!" Raph cooed obnoxiously.
"Raph!" Leo leapt up and slapped a hand over his mouth.
Raph laughed triumphantly and grabbed the controller again, quickly rewinding the tape. "Aww, do you wanna watch the scene in 4D An immersive viewing?" Raph would've delighted in watching his older brother squirm all over again at the scene but he had to watch and time it carefully.
The aliens came through the doors. They held up their guns. The characters reacted.
And the second the pink lightning hit Captain Ryan, Raph launched and started squeezing Leo's sides.
"RAHAHAHAHAPH!" Leo exploded.
"Oh no Captain Ryan!" Raph put on his stupidest voice yet to truly capture the spirit of the character, "The tickle rays! They're attacking you!"
Leo at this point was just trying to run away. But Raph pulled him into his lap by his shell and scribbed his fingers all across his stomach.
Despite the tickle scene itself only lasting a few seconds, Raph made sure to really capture what it must've felt like for the captain to be tickled like that.

Sounds good!! I’d love something with lee Mikey and either ler Donnie or lers Donnie, Leo and Raph. Maybe Mikey is touch starved and really wants hugs, but then it turns into tickles because Mikey is just too ticklish 💖 Take all the time you need!
Touch starved
🎂: ROTTMNT
🧁: Mikey
🍫: Donnie, Leo, Raph
Summary: Mikey is feeling a little touch-starved . His brothers help him out in the giggliest way possible.
A/N: thanks for the request! My first time experimenting with many lers (and actually describing it, unlike with “old returned feelings” where I didn’t describe much) as well as touch starvation, so, I hope I did well!
TW: Descriptions of touch starvation and negative thoughts . Gets all fluffy at the end though!
Touch starved
There he goes again. Mikey, closing himself off from his family despite desperately wanting to spend time with them. To be close to them. To give them hugs and love.
‘No’ something whispered in his head. ‘You don’t want to give them love. You want to receive it. You’re selfish.’
He sighed, curling into a ball under his covers, hoping to replace the cold that was clawing at his bones.
It was never enough, he was always so cold.
This was why he was hiding. He couldn’t bring himself to be around his family because of his selfish wants.
Donnie is averse to touch. Raph is so busy and stressed all the time. Leo is bad with the emotional vulnerability.
He couldn’t ask them for what he wanted. It was selfish.
Selfish. Selfish. Selfish.
With these thoughts swirling around in his head, Mikey broke into tears.
——————
“Guys, something’s going on with Mikey.” Raph Spoke, his tone serious, after pulling his other two brothers to the side when Mikey left.
“Scoff. You are just noticing this now?” Donnie snarked, an eyebrow raised.
“No. It’s just, I was hoping it would work itself out. You know how Mikey gets when I suggest he’s to young for something.”
“That is a fair point, dear twin-o-mine.” Leo called with a playful smirk.
“Oh, you wanna play that game huh?” Donnie hit ready to leap at his Twin.
“GUYS! Focus. This is about Mikey.”
“Ah. Yes. Continue, dear brother.”
“So, here’s what we’re gonna do….”
Raph proceeded to explain that the brothers were going to go check on him, ask him what was wrong. Reassure him that they wont judge, that they’re there for him, bring him comfort, (and also refuse to leave until he fesses up.)
So, the trio together went to visit their youngest brother.
——————
Through his tears, Mikey didn’t hear the footsteps walking through his door.
“Oh, Mikey.” Raph breathed. ‘Time to do this.’
At the voice, the box turtle lifted his head , then promptly buried again, whispering quietly with a tone of desperation,
“Please leave.”
“Never. We will never leave you abandoned like this.”
“Yeah, Angelo, tell us what’s up.”
A clear invitation. Mikey hesitated.., but took it.
He breathed in a hefty breath before starting.
He explained how he’d been feeling touch starved, but didn’t want to burden his brothers with his utterly selfish desire. He explained why he had closed himself off, not wanting to risk his condition to leak through.
All three brothers hugged Mikey tight.
“Oh, Mikey. For someone with such high emotional intelligence, that was awfully stupid.” Leo said, lighthearted but still with so much meaning.
They stayed like that for a while, unmoving. All the older brothers giving Mikey quiet reassurances.
That was, until one of them squeezed just a little to hard on Mikey’s side.
Mikey squeaked, then promptly flushed and tried to hide, embarrassed by the sound.
Leo, the culprit, smirked, noting his brothers reaction, and repeated the action.
When Mikey squeaked again, the other brothers caught on, their previously confused looks turning into smug smiles.
“Hey Angelo. You know what they say about touch starvation?”
“………That it utterly sucks?” He whispered, nervously.
“Nope, although I have no doubt it does, No, the thing they say about touch starvation is that…”
“the best way to cure it is through tickles!” The older turtles all shouted simultaneously, before starting to squeeze Mikey’s various tickle spots.
“ThaHAHATS nohOt EvEeHen COREHEct!!” Mikey’s giggles bounced and fluctuated as his brothers ‘attacked’ him.
Leo was throughly scratching at his knees, switching up to thigh squeezes Avery few seconds.
Donnie was lightly and methodically tracing across his plastron.
Raph was delivering absolutely evil nibbles with his snaggle tooth on his neck.
“Scoff. It is definitely correct. And you have no room for being a smart-Alec in your situation, Angelo.” Donnie intensifies to scratching for a moment, before returning to the light reading from before.
“GUHUHUYS! QUHUHiT IHIHIT!” Mikey was clutching his sides and laughing his head off. He wouldn’t admit it, but this was helping.
Despite his (fake) pleas, his brothers continued for a moment, before retracting and re-embracing Mikey in a large hug.
“Yohou guhuhuys. Ahare . Mehean.” Mikey panted, voice full of leftover giggles.
“Maybe, but you love us.”
“Ihi guess I do, huh.”
And the orange turtle just hugs his brothers closer.
————————THE END———————————

Hello Indecisiveness, My Old Friend~
Hi Hello It's very late and I am going to bed after this I promise but like writer brain is on and I wanted to do another poll with everyone to decide the order of my WIPs so:
Summaries/Prompt Descriptions below the cut!
Choice One: Shinsou gets into extra playful moods and likes to very gently tickle his boyfriends when they’re not paying attention. Sometimes they stay light and feathery, other times they’re all out attacks. (Lees!Todoroki, Deku, Ler!Shinsou)
Choice Two: Kokushibou’s the type to work himself to exhaustion and still refuse to admit it. Reader helps their demonic S/O relax and reminds him there’s more to life than training and missions (Lee!Kokushibou, Ler!Reader)
Choice Three: Ukyo and Chrome have a friendly competition while exploring the lands. It leads to a tickle fight when one starts taking an early lead (Switches!Ukyo, Chrome)
Choice Four: Ikyua’s on a road trip with his old friends and Hiyori’s feeling down and lonely without him. Kisume decides to give him a healthy distraction (Lee!Hiyori, Ler!Kisume)
Choice Five: Some bold words are exchanged when Leopold declares he could beat his siblings in a good ol’ fashion sparring match. He quickly learns why he should think before he speaks (Lee!Leopold, Lers!Fuegoleon, Mereoleona)
Choice 6: If Rui hadn’t asked him, he wouldn’t be doing this. Akaza braves his greatest fear as he seeks out the Million Yen question: Is Kokushibou ticklish? (Lee!Kokushibou, Ler!Akaza)
Choice 7: Hawks gets a little TOO cocky (Hehe, chicken pun) when he’s talking to Mirko and Jeanist about his hero status. He learns a lesson that day on what happens if you brag too much. (Lee!Hawks, Lers!Mirko, Jeanist)
#squiggily rambles#polls with squiggily#wip selection#I like doing these lols#gives me structure on what to write next :D

NMTDaily: Introducing Leo AND Rebuttal AND tiny bonus video
These episodes are so intrinsically linked that I’m covering them together in one post. Starting with…
Introducing Leo
- Aww, Leo’s so uncomfy on camera. And Bea and Hero are so cute with Bea making the Nothing Much to Do joke and Hero pushing her over. I love these three.
- The sunshine framing them makes this video so pretty, too!
- I love the line “I’m not related to these two.” It’s meta, because in-world it’s a tongue-in-cheek ‘you’re embarrassing’, but out-of-world, it’s the truth. These are three actors who are not related to each other. I don’t know why that tickles me, but it does.
- “You know what I can’t stand about guys?” “Uh, everything?” Perfect.
- Interesting that this is Bea’s chosen topic for a random chatty video that’s supposed to be about introducing Leo to the viewers. For being so anti-boys, she sure has them on the brain.
- This is an incredible modernization of the beard/no beard line from the play, I love it. It does also handily rule out all boys across the board from dating Bea, which is a useful rhetorical strategy when you don’t actually want a boyfriend!
- “I understand me.” “You’re the only one.” This moment is gonna be paralleled later, and I’m already screaming about it. I think people are avoiding spoilers in their liveblogs, so I’ll just omit the context, but I cannot wait for “I’m glad that you understand me.”
- Ben is walking alone, a safe distance behind the group of other kids walking by. Socially anxious behavior. Just saying.
- “See you in Hell, Beatrice.” I adore that they already have inside jokes, that they already gravitate towards each other in class enough for that to happen.
- Leo wanting to defend Bea when nothing is actually wrong: foreshadowing for failing to defend someone else when something IS wrong?
- How is it a pop quiz if the kids know about it in advance? I thought a pop quiz always referred to a surprise quiz?
- I love that Ben is meddling in Claudio’s love life at the same time as Bea is offering to meddle in Hero’s love life. Parallels!
- Beatrice the awesome old cat lady! I love all the cat doodles onscreen.
- Leo is struggling here. What is he, 23? He didn’t sign up to raise teens and it shows, lol. Trying and failing to give Hero the be careful about boys talk.
- Eternally obsessed with Beatrice going on the internet and telling everyone her type is lanky dark-haired British guys, and then STILL spending months in denial about liking Ben after this. I love her.
- I did not know who JJ Field was when I first saw this episode. I still don’t think I’ve ever seen a single thing he’s been in.
- Hero calling Bea the heck out! “A thing for British guys? Hmm, who do we know who’s British?”
- “No one, we don’t know anyone!” *all fall over adorably*
- It’s been pointed out by Donalduke shippers before that these girls know two lanky dark-haired British guys: Ben Hobbes and John Donaldson. I still think that’s an interesting pickup. Some of the things that on Ben make him Beatrice’s ideal guy, become things that are different and weird about John.
- “please don’t call me Crotchety Old Emu” another all-timer when it comes to NMTD lines.
- It honestly feels like the whole Emu Time bit could have been completely improvised. They feel like real siblings/cousins making fun of each other, I love it.
- We also know from later context clues exactly how serious a threat “I’ll call my mum” is coming from Bea. You don’t mess with Hermione Duke!
REBUTTAL
- It’s a line from the trailer! “Beatrice is a stupid little so-and-so who doesn’t know anything about anything!” Classic.
- I love how he actually could have been way harsher but said “so-and-so” instead of a swear word. Because he already doesn’t hate her as much as he wants to?
- “There’s no one on Earth who’s ever gonna fill her grand criteria, no one!” And then her actual boyfriend criteria list is one item long: ‘must be Benedick Hobbes’.
- And of course, he’s only upset because he thinks he doesn’t fit her criteria, even though he doesn’t fully realize that yet.
- He’s relieved that he can talk about her without her watching the videos AND annoyed that she stopped watching at the same time. He’s obsessed with her, I’m sorry.
- Not to mention that he watches all HER videos the second they drop and frequently makes video responses to them. Babydoll, honestly. I am zero percent fooled. You love her.
- He also links to her Tweet about her latest video in the video description, so he probably follows her on Twitter (even though he didn’t have a transmedia twitter account shhh)
- PARRADAWKS, a classic moment (we love you Jake, we call out this little Scottish slip in only good fun!)
- Honestly I’m just obsessed that he was deadass like “did you just say I’m exactly your type but because I don’t have a beard I’m too young for you?! I am deeply offended and here’s a bulleted list as to why you’re wrong. Also I definitely don’t want to date you. Promise. No really. I don’t!”
- “I make jokes, I crack wise!” Don’t make me go off about Ben’s court jester complex where he thinks he’s only worth being around as long as he’s entertaining and no one actually likes him as a person beyond the performance. I’ll do it. I will!
- I love this bit so much. “You’re a mean-spirited old dragon!” *flaps hands like dragon wings*
- “I’ve seen deep into your heart and you feel nothing!” WHOA, big-time dip into the tragic backstory of how she stopped being his friend and broke his heart on this line!
- Oh good, his eyes look dark blue in this video. I’ve worried before that I described them as blue in fanfic but I’ve seen other people describe them as brown in fanfic so I might’ve been wrong. Pretty certain they’re blue though. Nothing wrong with any eye color, I just like to get my details right.
- BONUS secret lost video of Ben asking for Q&A questions! I forgot all about this, but it was definitely still on the channel when I first started watching the series.
- I would have kept this on the story playlist solely because every one of the limited moments I have of Benedick Hobbes on my screen is a treasure and I want them all thank you. Even if they are bad quality.
- Ben stole the idea of doing a Q&A from Bea and Hero.
- And the keysmash of letters that is this video’s title includes the letters GF, which is definitely a coincidence but also Ben is very soon to have a realization about the concept of GFs, so it makes me laugh.
- He mentions being on the way home from Claudio’s house. I am very sad that Ben is in a good place in his friendship with Claudio, goes over to his house and has him to his own house all the time, STILL feels constantly afraid of losing him as a friend to the point of being overbearing, and then… The Eventuality will happen. :(
- Ends it with every single NewWho catchphrase up to 12. I love him. What a nerd.

Character Headcanons
How they’d react if you called them Ryan…
Dad Van
💗 When the kids find out Van's real name is Ryan they're delighted, much to Van's chagrin. "Why did you have to tell them love? I'm not gonna hear the end of it now!"
💗 "Ry-an! Ry-an! Ry-an!" Chants baby Leo. When he learns a new word it's all you hear for the next week.
💗 You're laughing your head off and Grace is too. "But you don't look like a Ryan Daddy! It sounds funny!'
💗 “Grandma says Van McCann sounds like Humpty Dumpty!" You tell your daughter, cue much hilarity whilst Van pretends to scowl at you both.
💗 You take the opportunity to get the old family photo album out that Mary gave you and you and Grace spend the rest of the afternoon looking at embarrassing childhood pics of Van and teasing him.
💗 You're definitely both getting attacked by the tickle monster until you're screaming for all that teasing.
Red
❤️ Van would enjoy the teasing banter and you'd love to drop his birth name into conversation throughout the day just to wind him up.
❤️ He can't do anything about it whilst Larry's there but as soon as he goes out... "I'm warning you Y/N... say that one more time and you're gonna regret it!'
❤️ "Ooh I'm scared Ryan! What you gonna do about it, huh?" You back away as you see the mischievous glint in his eye.
❤️ You'd probably get chased around the house and when he caught you there'd be some play-fighting which would probably lead to you getting railed hard against whatever surface you were pressed up against.
❤️ “This doesn’t feel much like punishment!”
The Devil Next Door
❤️🔥 Van would absolutely hate being called Ryan with a passion and you'd use that fact to your advantage.
❤️🔥 "It's not Ryan okay? It's Van!" He snaps, hands balling into fists at his sides.
❤️🔥 "Oh sorry I didn't realise you were so touchy about it. It's your real name isn't it? What's up? Ryan not 'cool rockstar' enough for you?"
❤️🔥 “Shut up Y/N!" You note the warning glare but that doesn't deter you.
❤️🔥 “You gonna make me?" You smirk. There's something about sparking his temper that's so satistying to you.
❤️🔥 You're definitely using this every time you have an argument from now on.
Forbidden
🖤 You know you're really pushing your luck by dropping Prof Van's real name into conversation during your private tutorial.
🖤 "What was that?" He challenges you, jaw clenching as you smirk defiantly back at him.
🖤 "You heard me Ryan!" You taunt, sitting back in your seat, pulling your bottom lip between your teeth as you fix him with wide innocent eyes.
🖤 It's only a matter of minutes before you're being hauled out of your seat and pushed facedown over his lap, your skirt pushed up around your hips.
🖤 "Now the only words I wanna hear from those lips are “Yes Sir" he growls but of course you can't resist misbehaving.
🖤 “Yes Ryan!" You whimper, bracing yourself against the impact, already growing wet at the prospect of your delicious punishment…

The Consort - Chapter 12 - Part 1
*Warning Adult Content*
Finn
I try to hide my cough into the plush, leather couch.
It burns my lungs and tickles the back of my throat.
The air is dry and chalky, a rough mixture of dirt, dust particles and burning electrical wire.
Leo warned me about the smell from all the construction but I refused to let him open a window.
It just seemed too dangerous.
I gingerly reach for my pillow and clutch it to my chest.
Goosebumps trail up the length of my arm and for the hundredth time today, I have the irrational fear that someone is watching me.
I squint against the darkened room and steady my breathing.
No one is there, I remind myself.
It's just fear.
The lingering smell of my old home clings to the fibers of my pillowcase.
Leo didn't have to stop by my studio apartment but I think he was trying to make me feel more comfortable knowing I wouldn't be back for quite some time.
When we got there it was a ghost town, though.
Eerily quiet.
Most of the doors were bolted shut or left open and completely empty.
No one made a sound as we traipsed down the hallways.
The air felt heavy, almost like the entire building was afraid to breathe.
At first I thought it was just my imagination but when we got back into Leo's car, the broadcast on the radio gave a very different story.
Apparently the attack today against the University wasn't just one...it was one of many.
In other words, an immortal ambush.
The police conducted a full broadcast to every home, encouraging us to get to safety, check our homes for any intruders and to stay put until advised otherwise.
The sounds of Leo's breathing patterns sweep into the living room, loud enough to let me know he's alright.
It's a comforting sound.
I reach for my cell-phone from the glass coffee table to check the time.
When I do, I see I have an email waiting for me.
My heart thrums in my chest.
The heat of anxiety spreads through my limbs, all the way up to my neck, curling around my throat.
My thumb trembles over the small button and when I tap it, a cold sweat breaks out across my palms.
It's from Brayden.
From: Brayden Emanuel
Sent: Wednesday, July 7, 2137 10:20:37 PM
To: Finn Weston
Subject: Are you safe?
'I cannot find your scent. Are you safe?'
I stare at the words.
It's like I can hear his deep, seductive voice saying them aloud even though he's nowhere near me.
It causes a dull ache to bloom in my chest.
He said he can't find my scent, does that mean he's been keeping an eye on me all along?
Or perhaps he was searching for it recently?
My eyes glaze over.
Am I safe?
Maybe he only cares because I'm technically his consort.
Or maybe he's already out of blood and knows I'm a willing donor.
I suck my bottom lip into my mouth and bury deeper into the comfort of the couch.
A response hovers at my fingertips...
From: Finn Weston
Sent: Thursday, July 8, 2137 1:29:15 AM
To: Brayden Emanuel
Subject: Re: Are you safe?
'What's a Nirv?'
I want to say more but I hit send instead.
He'll know I'm safe from the response.
He doesn't need to know more than that.
Besides, after witnessing all that I did today, I'm second guessing myself as to how trustworthy Brayden really is.
He told me from day one that he was pretty much a heartless immortal who didn't really care about me.
So why should I believe any different?
My cell-phone buzzes with a response, much faster than I expected.
From: Brayden Emanuel
Sent: Thursday, July 8, 2137 1:31:54 AM
To: Finn Weston
Subject: Re: Re: Are you safe?
'Nothing that concerns you.'
I sigh, deflated.
Well, that's Brayden for you.
He asks a question that makes me believe he cares.
In return, my glimmer of hope is met with a kitschy, emotionless response, one that... My phone buzzes again.
I tilt it upward slowly, expecting to see a new email waiting for me.
Instead I see an unopened text.
A frown creases my brows as I tap to open it.
Leo Adams: Can't sleep?

... just make an iteration* for fun, I said
a universe where they've made it into their late 30s-early 40s and they chill and can be serene in the company of friends and family for once. maybe a flashback or two for the action moments
"fix" your childhood turtles so they can have a reprieve and some shenanigans, i reasoned with myself--
WELP.
my tmnt au iteration (where everyone made it past their 20s, splinter’s alive just old, venus is here, and they deserve some goddamn respite and shenanigans)
tmnt au iteration part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 | part 9
tmnt au iteration omake 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11
lny visit 1 | 2
is this actually new ramblings for the iteration or like one new lore bit and just a rerererererehashing of lore i sprinkled across the other posts.
first though, with my sorta-outsider-not-active-participant-in-fandom history I realized "au" isn't the proper term for what I've been doing, the more suitable term is "iteration".
and we're gonna sit with the fact that even someone at my old-ass age recognized my previous understanding of a term was, for all intents and purposes, not entirely correct and that I acknowledged it, rectified when I could, and that's it, it can be that easy.
...
okay back to the bullshit.
so my Mondo was introduced in the Archie run, a funky guy with a metal band called Merciless Slaughter, dressed like a punk Hulk, all around good peoples, hung out with the Mutanimals.
His design cobbling isn't too deep, I don't think. Just thought it'd be more rad if he looked more like a guy who fronts a band called Merciless Slaughter while remaining the same ol' Mondo inside, post mutation.
Kept some of his original color palette around in his hat, his pants, his NYHC logo (links) knockoff, and his little dyed leather cord bracelets.
the letters for the logo are for, Skate or Die (across), and Merciless Slaughter (down)
hmm still waffling on if I'm more tickled by him being taller than Mikey or the same height (5'4")
_________
and now for the rererererehash rambling because none of this design progression is coming out linear for me. so super quick, am an original 90s turtlemania survivor, Rise brought me back, gorged Rise then Bay then 2007 movie then rererererewatching of Next Mutation and the 90s trilogy for fun then hacking my way back through the Archie and Mirage runs then caught up with IDW and then just... slogging through 2003 and 2012 which honestly I feel like I got the gists of through gif sets alone.
one hand I can see why old fans (90s turtlemania) didn't seem to like the Rise designs, ours really were just the same li'l green dude but in different colors and hit sticks looks-wise. But here comes Rise with all the character design classics: different shapes! different sizes! exaggeration! and that's on top of all the nudges and twists made to the usual lore; Raphael is now the oldest, Leo and Donnie are now twins, they're different species of turtles, they're tools for war, brand new antagonists etc.
idk, to me when I was watching that shit, it was fun and refreshing so... ionno, built different cope maybe to the other oldheads pissing their pantaloons still ig whatevs
what tickles me most, personally, is the utter fuckton of Rise AUs, and a few Rise-driven iterations, and also some of the other non canon media iterations. so tickled that I got hit by the makeaniterationigitis itllbefunoccocal virus too. UnU (i'm kidding, i'm having so much fucking fun) just I'm addressing the flowers I wanna give to the kids who took Rise's take on tmnt and just RAN with the "different turtle species" from full out coloring their turtles the same as the species they picked to mimicking Rise's design language with different markings.
God, the markings thing just really nestled into my heart, it's such a simple thing and yet it took Rise to just try it, not even a lot, just a little for flavorrrrr. It's just enjoyable as fuck to me tbh and I'm sharpening my teeth when I revisit my coloring choices for the 8th time... fuck where was I?
right, mine are mistakes. wrongright place at the wrongright time, mutagen was there and now they can swing swords around and eat pizza.
someone(s) was high tailing it outta a TGRI lab with some mutagen barrels, driving recklessly while a bunch of eco-vigilantes had broken out of a pet shop that was the face of a black market pet trade/medicine/exotic food racket of endangered species. hence where their bit of human pre-mutagenic contact comes from (the strike team of people who freed them from their cages because all of them were endangered species & destined for a tank, a cutting board or a pill box); including a sea turtle Venus, Leatherhead, Tokka, Rahzar, Man-Ray some others etc etc. Jennika keeping her origin because it was dope as fuck. splinter was just there watching this symphony of human fuckery happen and decided to adopt some kids with no one asking (it was tang shen's onryo that is rooted in Splinter's mind that was asking, shh)
and ever since it clicked when I was gathering ref shots, ✨sea turtle Venus just makes sense✨ to me, it's taken my brain stem and rung it like a bell for new year's nonstop and i am not mad
... fuck, I am but also am not looking forward to when I start delving into ninjutsu, ninpo, Venus' whole schtick and how the supernatural fits into this world that I definitely don't need to be fleshing out this much just to draw them chilling on April's couch.
i've got like over 70 refs, holy shit
#visdev is my enrichment activity#don't leave me alone with an idea a piece of paper and something to draw with and my thoughts in the same room#Venus lover since 98#she's getting the most dev from visdev because I love her so#[ gestures to fanart portfolio which is like 45% Venus ]#55% turtle bullying#closing out the weekend#rambling about turtles again#ehehehehheehhh

I've seen a lot of tumblr users that are on the spectrum put headcanons about Donnie being autistic on their blogs, so I decided to join in, since I have autism myself.
•Donnie is prone to headaches and the amount of tylenol he's taken in his lifetime is staggering.
•Sleep is difficult for him. Either he sleeps for 12 hours or he doesn't sleep for more than 2 hours a night. He's also a very heavy sleeper, and it takes forever to wake him up.
•Donnie is a picky eater. It's not taste, it's texture. For example: Potato chips=yes, mashed potatoes=eww. He can't stand food that's too smooth, or anything super spicy, but loves vinegary foods.
•Speaking of food, Donnie is more adventurous with new foods, as long as he knows what the ingredients are and cooking has helped with new foods.
•Donnie can memorize anything. He can watch a movie once, and memorize every line, even weeks later.
•Donnie often runs into walls because of lack of balance. He loves to spin around, though.
•Donnie won't even flinch if you break his arm, but will bawl like a baby if he gets a hangnail.
•Donnie loved baths as a kid, but hates showering as a teenager.
•His stims are: tapping his fingers on a table like he's playing the piano, clapping, raising his eyebrows, biting his lips, biting certain objects, standing on his tiptoes, darting his eyes all over the place, and bouncing while sitting.
•Donnie has issues with eye contact. His eyes will wander while you talk to him, but he assures that he's listening. To calm himself down while being lectured, he has to stare at Splinter's nose, rather than his eyes.
•As a tot, Donnie would hide under furniture, curl up, cover his ears and cry when his brother would get loud. Splinter had to drag him out and cuddle him to calm him down.
•Donnie also has anxiety, and often being overwhelmed makes the air around him seem like it's closing in on him.
•As a tot, he was sensitive to loud noises, bright lights and hates open spaces. As a teenager, he's only sensitive to loud noises.
•Donnie hates being touched, but will hug his brothers, April or his dad if he has to.
•Donnie is a huge crybaby, especially when he was a tot.
•Alone time is his best friend. Whenever he gets overwhelmed, he goes to his room to calm down.
•Donnie self soothes himself, but during missions, Leo has to be the one to calm him down.
•Donnie is extremely intelligent, but the stupidest things makes him laugh. He was reading medical journals at age 4, but videos of screaming frogs tickles his funny bone.
•Donnie has fidgeting toys and gets fixated on certain objects, protecting them and will get upset if anyone touches them.
•As a kid, he hated certain textures in clothing. He can, and will, strip naked if a tag itches or if a certain peice of clothing feels off.
•Donnie looked down often, trying not to step on any cracks, because he can feel it when they are not grooved. He can also feel certain colors, though it's hard to explain.
•Donnie has great hearing, he can hear conversations from across the lair, it scares his brothers.
•Donnie didn't speak as a kid, but is now a chatter box as a teen.
•Donnie made up a lot of imaginary friends, which is how he created SHELLDON.
•He enjoys ASMR and Mukbang videos, but can't stand listening to his family eat. His favorite catagory is soap cutting.
•Even though his other senses are heightened, he doesn't have the best sense of smell.
•Dee mimics people, not to make fun of others, but as a way to remember instructions.
•When pushed to far, Donnie will get aggressive, but then he cries when he's angry. Raph has to tell him to breath so he won't hyperventilate.
•Baby Mikey once got shoved by Donnie when he messed up his playing cards, to which Splinter immediately put him in his room to give him a time-out. Donnie felt it wasn't fair, but he learned to just keep his cards away from Mikey.
•Once old enough to read, Donnie read 3 grade levels above his age and could finish a book in a day. Reading was his escape.
•Leo, Raph and Mikey often felt like Donnie was a psychopath when they watched scary movies and he was the only one not scared.
•Being a first time father, Splinter often got flustered whenever his baby son was delayed while his other three were hitting milestones, such as eye contact, responding to their names, talking, or playing with certain toys.
•As a baby, Dee had acid reflux and Splinter spent many nights comforting a puky baby. Often Splinter would rush him to the bathroom to pat his son's back to get him to expel his stomach into the toilet.
•Donnie will info dump about a certain subject or he'll be silent for days.
•(Canon) Donnie can't sleep on his back, but will sleep on his stomach. It's because his shell is sensitive and he hates anything super soft.
•April has always been able to make Donnie feel better, which is why he's always with her.

Rottmnt Future AU
“A Jotaro’s story”
One-Shot ( In English )
"Dear diary... this is how I should start this?, no, better ummm, Binnacle 1: This is Jotaro Hamato-Miyamoto, reporting for the mission, yes!! Sounds better!"The mutant bunny exclaimed while he wrote down in his small pocket notebook "Today seems to be a very special day because my parents are more than happy, I think it's because I just turned 7 years old and I think they want us to go for a walk because I saw my dad Usagi pack a lot of our things "Wrote Jotaro, while he continued writing with emotion, his rabbit-yokai father was on the phone while ordering some bags
"Yes, understood,shinpai suru na/Don't worry, we have all the essentials, it will be the first festival he will attend and I know he will be happy to see you... Yes, ok, send my regards to Tomoe-San and Gennosuke-Kun I will be delighted to see you again…sayonara” the Samurai rabbit said goodbye in the most polite way possible
After his call Usagi set out to see his dear husband Leonardo, a turtle in his 40s, current leader of the Hamato Clan,but upon entering the room, he was blinded by a beautiful scene, which he had to immortalize with a cell phone video (a very old one for someone who has lived in New York since 2023)
"Who is the most beautiful baby-conejito in the whole multiverse~? It's you!!" Leo shouted as he carried Jotaro in his arms and tickled him
"Dad! Stop! I'm already a big boy!" Exclaimed Jotaro I laughed
"I know~, but you're as cute and soft as a marshmallow, I could eat you if I wanted to" Leo said making bite gestures
"That's very nice Leo-San, I think my father-in-law and brothers-in-law will love to see this" Usagi said, while sending the video to everyone in the family group
"What!? Not Usagi!!" He yelled as he set Jotaro down "You know how they get when I do and say those things!!, especially my dad!!" He exclaimed with feelings of anger and embarrassment
"But why is it so bad? Look, they already answered and they seem happy with this" He showed his cell phone and to Leo's horror they all wrote at the same time
Mikey: Awww!!! That's my favorite rabbit-turtle nephew!! >///w///< Leo, you look so weird, when we're on missions you never smile anymore, but here you look all cute 🥰🥰🥰
Donnie: I literally had to go out on the roof of the house and laugh just because Daniel is taking his nap🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations Leo, you turned cheesy like dad
Raph: Jotaro is so big!! I'm so happy and I hope to see you tonight to celebrate eating pizza 🍕🍕🍕
Splinter: He's the most beautiful rabbit-boy in the world~!! I expected nothing less from the grandson of the great Lou-Jitsu 😎😎😎
ML-Irma: It's a little weird, but very cute 💖💖💖
Jenny: I can't believe I must look like this when I carry the kids from the dojo, whatever, Happy birthday Jotaro 💛🤟🏻
Casey: I won't say that this surprises me because I already lived it 😅😅😅
April: Awww my life!! He's so tiny❤️, Thanks for recording this Usagi, Donnie hadn't laughed like that in weeks, we'll be waiting for you tonight, have a good interdimensional trip!! 😎🤟🏽🌀🌀🌀
"They are very happy" - Usagi said calmly
"This is bad for my reputation as a leader"-Said the turtle, covering his face
"Before being a leader, you are a brother, son and father" Usagi said grabbing his shoulder "And there is nothing to be ashamed of...in fact you look very cute" He ended up standing on tiptoes and kissing his husband on the lips
"...I could get used to being cute" he said in a seductive tone as he pressed his husband against his chest"
"F-Fine, hurry up with the portal, I have everything ready" Usagi ordered as he got out of that sexy hug
"Ok, but first one more game!! Rocket-Jitsu!!" Leo exclaimed, picking up his little son again and spinning around
"Leo, Mariko-san wants to see Jotaro too, remember?"
Leonardo stopped short "Oh yes... she..." after that he lowered Jotaro and prepared to concentrate because entering the dimension of Feudal Japan of the Yokai wasn’t an easy task "Hold Jotaro”
"Ready" Usagi said without hesitation
"Woahhh!! Someday I'll do that too!!" exclaimed the bunny-turtle
"Finish your self-defense lessons first, and then we'll move on to the wooden sword."
"Daddy Usagi, that's boring~"
"Do you think your father and I learned the art of being a swordsman overnight? It requires years of training and discipline, I'm pretty sure your grandfather Splinter was stricter than us, right Leo?”
"I-I'm not listening to you, I just opened the portal, let's go!" Leo exclaimed, because the truth is that Splinter had taught them in ways...unconventional, in any case, the three of them were already on their way to the Usagi’s dimension,The Yokai Japan
…
A blue portal opens on the outskirts of a beautiful village, full of peace and life. Usagi came out of it and after taking a breath of fresh air said "Tadaima / I'm home"
"It's so beautiful..." Leo said as he closed the portal "I almost wish I lived here...it's so peaceful..."
"But New York needs you and your brothers" Usagi replied leaving Jotaro on the ground "My world has enjoyed peace and comfort thanks to the agreements between clans and the technological advances that your brother Donatello has given us”
"Don't even tell me, he asked me to please take a video of his inventions, with his trademark" He said, showing a message from Donnie asking him that no one could profit from his inventions
"Dads! Come on! I want to start with my birthday!" Jotaro exclaimed, jumping like an excited rabbit.
"Calm down Jotaro, the festival is not going anywhere first we have to go leave our things with some friends of mine"
"Does Tomoe know we came?"
"Of course, we have to hurry to make the most of the day" Usagi said, taking Jotaro by the hand "Besides, Mari-san must be waiting with them"
"Mari-san?" asked Jotaro confused"
"So we say to Mariko, your mother"
Those last words were like the blade of a katana grazing Leonardo's neck. Even though Jotaro had both his and Usagi's DNA, thanks to Draxum and his abilities to create through mutagen, he was also the son of Mariko, ex-girlfriend and best friend of his husband Usagi, since they needed the DNA of a female turtle-mutant or rabbit-yokai when they wanted to have a baby., and as much as they wanted Jennika's, she was not the one, since she had previously been human and her mutant DNA was the same as Leonardo’s,So the only option was Mariko-san, who willingly and unconditionally agreed, since she was doing it for her childhood friend after all.
Leo proceeded to take his son's other hand and the three of them went together to the temple.
"This place is very nice!!" Exclaimed Jotaro
"I know, it's strange no longer hearing the everyday noises of the city"
"Well, at least it looks like the fights are multiversal" Leo said as he pointed to two Yokais fighting in a food stall.
"Hey! I asked you for a kilogram of apples!! Are you an idiot or what?!! Exclaimed a rather large Yokai-pig
"I-I'm so sorry sir, the scale failed and I'm using another method to weigh the food" stuttered the salesman yokai-marmot
"Well hurry up!!, what kind of place is this?!
"And I thought that Meatsweats was selective" Leo said with a slightly mocking tone "I'll take care of it"
"It's fine, but no threatening with weapons" Usagi told him
"What is dad going to do?" asked Jotaro
"He will only speak kindly to those gentlemen, don't worry”
"Is there a problem gentlemen?" Leo asked in a neutral voice.
"It's none of your business, Kappa!" exclaimed the pig
"The gentleman does his best to provide you with a service, you shouldn't pressure him like that...!" Before he knew it, the pig pushed him with both hands
"So you'd rather have that shell pressed on you?!" He yelled angrily as a crowd began to surround them.
"...I'd like to see you try..." Leo replied with a mischievous smile.
Without thinking, the Yokai-pig rushed towards him without knowing what awaited him. Leo began to dodge him with the martial arts of his clan, the pig could not give him a single blow and term falling to the ground because of how exhausted he was
"No one likes bullies like you" Leo said triumphantly.
"Be... a real man and fight for real!!" The pig yelled as he tried to get up.
"...If that's what you want" Said the turtle grabbing his katanas and just seeing their shine was enough for the Yokai-pig to run away from the place, screeching as only pigs know how to do"Uh, I thought it would be a duel to the death with knives" He said with a mischievous smile, returning his weapons to their place.
"Thank you very much, that bully is always around these parts and takes advantage of the smaller vendors" The little yokai vendor explained
"You don't have to worry anymore" Leo said as he looked for something in his bag "Here, this should fix the scale" he said as he handed him some special screws, patented by Donnie of course
"Arigato Kappa!!" He exclaimed the groundhog giving a slight bow
Leo bowed and left with his husband and son "Shall we go?" He asked him, taking Usagi's hand.
"You were amazing" Usagi said
"What can I say? I'm an expert in attracting attention" Leo replied waving the tail of his mask which hair was
"That was awesome Dad!!" Jotaro shouted "He went Ahhh !! And you dodged him with a Fiumm !! And then he ran away doing Oink!" Jotaro narrated while he laughed
"Remember Jotaro, your father used self defense before his weapons"
"I know, I know, I'll practice my defense more" The little hybrid replied
"Very well, now let's go to the temple"
And without further ado, the family held hands going to their destination, hoping not to have any more setbacks.
I hope you liked it, this is the English version of the One-Shot :3

Heres a request if you don't mind and have time and if you want to, of course. How about Mikey for some reason gets turned into a tot thanks to Donnie's experiments and he has to find a way to reverse it but he's alone in the lair (Raph and Leo and Splinter are busy outside or something ) and tot Mikey desperatly needs attention so he pesters Donnie, so tired of that, Donnie decides to give Tot Mikey what he wants just with a visit of the tickle monster who Donnie can be if pressed the right buttons
Clingy
🎂: ROTTMNT
🧁: tot Mikey
���: Donnie
Summary: Mikey was accidentally turned into a tot because of one of Donnie’s experiments. While Donnie is trying to fix the situation, Mikey begs for his attention, and he complys.
A/N: things like this have bee done before but I don’t give a shit lol. Thanks for the request! Enjoy!
Clingy
‘Why do I always put myself into such situations?’ Donnie mentally cursed himself.
He was working on some experiment or another, and Mikey had agreed to help him test it.
Now, the box turtle was 6 years old again and running around his lab like a lunatic! Donnie sighed. He just wanted to get this counter done, and he almost had it. But he would never finish if Mikey kept bothering him, asking for attention.
Mikey ran up to his big(now much bigger) brother and poked his leg.
“Hey Donnie, hey Donnie, hey Donnie, he-“
“Sigh. What it is, Angelo?”
“Pay attention to me!”
“No. Im trying to fix you, can you go ask one of the others?”
“Nuh-uh! I want it to be youuuuu!”
Donnie sighed again. “Fine.”
And then he scooped up his little brother and put him in his lap.
“Yayyy! Tank you, Dee!”
“I wouldn’t thank me just yet.” The soft shell replied smugly, before digging his fingers into his brothers sides.
“Eheee!” Mikey squealed out, squirming away from the feeling.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Donnie asked as he scooped him back towards him and blew a raspberry on his plastron.
“Eee! Thahahat tihihihicklhehes dehehee!”
“That is the point, I’m afraid.”
“Dehee!”
“Angelo!”
Donnie continued to tickle his little brother and tease him a bit.
“This is what you wanted, yes? My attention?”
“Ihi Mehean, Yeheah!”
“You just weren’t expecting it to be the tickly variety, now were you?”
Mikey just shook his head through his laughter.
“And a tktktktktkktktk!” Donnie started as he scratched his fingers along Mikey’s neck.
“Eee! Hahahahaa thahats soho muhuhuch ehehe!”
“Too bad! Tktktktktktktk!”
Donnie stopped soon after that, as he saw Mikey was getting tired.
As soon as he had fully stopped, the younger fell right asleep.
Donnie set him down and covered him up with his weighted blanket.
The soft shell chuckled a bit.
“You’re so clingy, Angelo.”

Ever since Leo was 1, Chris has been in his life. His Dad left when Leo was 3 months old because he was a coward and couldn't take care of his own son. You felt hopeless, you didn't know if you could do it until you met Chris.
He was there when you needed him, even there when you didn't. Chris loved you both so much and there wasn't anything that could change it.
Leo knew that Chris wasn't his biological father, but that didn't stop him from loving Chris.
Now Leo was 5, you and Chris have been married for 3 years, and you loved your little family.
–
It was around 8 at night, you were finishing up a few things for work while Chris and Leo played in his playroom.
"I'm iron man." Leo said standing with a frown and his hands on his hips. Chris looked at him, "really? Well then I'm captain america."
Leo looked at Chris like he said something crazy, he actually did. "No you're not, Anthony is."
Chris mouth fell open. He wasn't wrong Chris thought to himself but he did feel betrayed.
"I'm not Cap huh?" Chris walked over to Leo who was nodding. "Well I guess you get the tickle monster now." He started tickling leo's side causing him to squeal with a giggle. He keep trying to push Chris off but he wasn't good at it.
"say I'm Captain America!" Chris said tickling his tummy. Leo shook his head, "no" Chris continued his tickle attack on Leo even flipping him upside down until the boy finally said the words he wanted. "Okay, you the Captain."
Chris Chuckled, letting him down. *Thank you. Okay let's clean up your mess." Chris began to pick up the toys. Without any warning, Leo gave Chris a hug. Chris thought it was a normal hug they always did but Leo had a few words.
"I love playing with you daddy." He placed his head in chris' chest after he finished. Chris sat there shocked, his heart swelled at the words he just said 'daddy' he never thought he would hear those words.
The only thing that could come out of his mouth was an "I love you too" as he hugged Leo close.
-
After their small moment, Leo and Chris finished picking up the toys. When they were done, Leo ran to the living room to say goodnight to Dodger (and or your dog). Chris took that opportunity to go tell you the news.
He was smiling as he entered the bedroom. You looked up at him, "why are you so smiley?" You asked through a giggle. Chris came over to the bed, "Leo, he called me daddy."
You gasped, "oh my Gosh, that's.. amazing."
Chris laughed, "yeah it is. I'm so fucking happy right now." Chris had a huge smile on his face as he took a seat at the edge of the bed.
The door open to your bedroom revealing Leo with his blanket. "hi mommy and daddy. We watch a movie?"
Leo Hopped into the bed, getting right beside you. "What do you wanna watch?" You asked as Leo started cuddling you.
"umm.. captain america and the winter soldier! And I mean Anthony captain america." Chris looked at Leo, playfully scolding him. Leo laughed, trying to hide behind you. "Don't tickle me daddy."
