valgrace hcs because i love them
- leo has a little lisp because of his braces, and though hes insecure about it, jason LOVES it and finds it the cutest thing ever
- jason’s glasses disappear all the time, and he just so happens to find them hidden in the hephaestus cabin next to leo’s bunk
- jason always carries around leo if he gets tired, or just for fun sometimes
- leo is always leaning on jason, holding his hand, or just making any kind of contact without realizing it and jason finds it so sweet, even though hes not the biggest fan of physical contact
- they dont cuddle very much, but they sleep in the same bed all the time and they cant fall asleep without holding each other’s hands
- they loooove dancing with each other. leo kinda sucks, and is always stepping on Jason’s feet, but jason doesn’t mind as long as they are both having fun
- jason carries around juice boxes and granola bars just in case leo hasnt eaten yet that day
- oftentimes they just sit there, basking in each others presence, making up for the time they lost when they were dead
- jason loves leo’s constant warmth, and sometimes randomly hugs him with no words or context. after a while leo just accepted it and looks foward to every time jason gets cold

I've decided your tags on that post about Leo not being anyone's favorite brother are the only take I will be accepting from here on out. Galaxy brained and honestly very in character for all of them lol.
tags from this: #leo is actually Everyone's favorite brother they just all insist that he isn't bc he would be Insufferable if he found out #april asking 'whos your favorite bro' in pre-lair game interviews and don mike and raph instinctively going #'leo - WAIT I MEAN [other brother]' April being like Mhm *writing that down*. donnie makes her sign an nda
Thanks I made myself sad about it actualy dslfkjskldf

"Who's your favorite brother?" April asks.
Mikey answers at once, cheerfully:
"Leo." He realizes what he's said as soon as it's out of his mouth, while April is gleefully jotting the answer down on her interview notepad, her phone balanced in her other hand, recording an audio file for redundancy's sake; Mikey looks at her pleadingly, clapping both hands together. "Don't tell 'im I said that, April! I'll never live it down! Especially with the Games comin' up!"
"My lips are sealed!" she promises.
-
"Who's your favorite brother?"
"Leo," Raph says - and then laughs nervously when he actually processes the question, slumping back on the bench and folding his arms like he's trying to hide something, avoiding eye contact, "I mean! Mikey! No, no - Donnie! I mean - Raph loves all of his brothers equally…!"
"I didn't ask which one you loved more," April clarifies with amusement, rolling her eyes, "I asked which one's ya favorite. Big difference!"
"Raph doesn't have favorites," Raph asserts, "And if he did, it definitely wouldn't be Mister Always Rubs His Five Years of Victory in Our Faces!"
"Uhuh," April says, circling something in her notebook.
-
"Donnie, who's your favorite brother?"
"I refuse to answer on the grounds that anything I say can be used against me - "
"Donnie. This is a for-fun Pre-Lair Games interview."
".....Are our answers confidential?"
"Exclusively for my eyes only! I'm not gonna publicly display your answers on the fridge or anything."
"Sigh. Obviously it's Leo." Obviously, April thinks, trying to suppress her fond smile so Donnie doesn't see it and suddenly become allergic to his own Emotions. She busies herself with her notebook while Donnie pushes back and forth in his gamer chair, fingers steepled in front of him like a super villain. "He has the most consistent pro-to-con ratio, if only marginally - though that is subject to change in the next month, what with the Lair Games coming up."
"Obviously," April says, waving a hand.
Donnie narrows his eyes at her.
-
"Who's your favorite brother?"
"Aha, a trick question," Leo says smugly, "You'll have to get up earlier in the day to pull that one over on ole Leon."
"I'm not pullin' anything," April laughs. "I'm askin' all you guys the same questions! Just tryin' t'think of some fun little headliners for the interviews and stuff, y'know? All in good fun. Now answer the question!"
"Uuh-huh. Well, it depends on the day of the week, I guess," Leo evades, shrugging.
He's playing with some fidget toy in his lap, allowing it to distract him. April is perched on the arm of the chair beside him, so she can't see his face. She folds one of her legs over the other, notepad balanced on her thigh while she taps out a rhythm with the mechanical pencil.
She can't help but tease him.
"Wanna guess who said Leo was their fav?"
She's not really gonna tell him. (That would break her NDAs.) And what it would do to his ego, she doesn't like to think - but she expects him to guess correctly, anyway. She's fully prepared to brush him off and play a little game of as if. But Leo chuckles and braces his feet on the opposite arm of the chair, pushing his shell briefly back into April's side, and says brightly, "Oh I guarantee you, I am nobody's fav. I'm too magnificent! They hate me cuz they ain't me."
Now that catches April off guard.
"Excuse me?"
Leo curls the fidget toy into his palm to touch his fingers, counting off, "Raph and Donnie both probably picked Mikey - and who can blame them, he's got all of us wrapped around his adorable little baby brother fingers. But if they picked each other, it's because Donnie actually shows up the most for Raph's missions because he loves having a Schedule, and because Raph always lets Donnie infodump at him because he likes listening to someone talk. And I know Mikey picked Donnie, because Raph always tries to smother-hen him."
"Uhuh," April says, uncertain about how she's feeling right now. This was supposed to be for laughs, but she's not laughing. Sharply, she adds, "Are you playin' with me right now?"
"I would never!" Leo says, scandalized by the very idea. He flicks the fidget toy so it swirls between his fingers, and he chuckles. "But I'm gonna play those losers like a Kazoo during the next Lair Games! What's the next question, Apricot??"
April taps her eraser against the notebook.
She doesn't have one ready.
