You Sure? (ROTTMNT Leonardo Hamato x Kalani Rotasu {OFC})

Word Count: 1517 Warnings: A dash of light swearing, Fluff, slight Angst

A/N: Finally, I’m getting somewhere with this series. Thank you all for those who have chosen to follow this series. I really do appreciate it and thank you for the support. And a seriously big thank you to @mysticboombox​ for being my beta reader with the snippets I send her. 

Part 4. Reunion

"I still say that she left him at the entrance."

"No way! That is something that is so out of the question, Dee! What do you think, Raph?"

Raph was sitting in the living room with his phone in hand as he heard his two younger brothers come in. Glancing from the device, he saw Donnie, Mikey and his girlfriend, Mara Harrison all conversing amongst each other about Leo. It was a 50/50 chance and who knows what was going to happen to Leo and Kalani.

“Why do you two care so much? Like Leo said, if she’s in, she’s in. If not, then we go on our own.” Raph explained.

“Coming from the one who will smash first then think later.” Donnie quipped while crossing his arms with an unamused brow raised.

“Always with the snark towards your eldest brother, I see?”

With a unanimous gasp, the three brothers turned to see the one person they actually doubted would have listened and agreed to help.

“KALANI!?!?”

Still in her dress and heels, she smirked her iconic wicked smirk and gave them a two finger salute. But before she could say anything or even open her mouth, she was crushed under three plasterons and six pairs of arms around her and plenty of happy churrs and laughter.

“Welcome home!” Raph chuckled.

“I’m so happy to see you, Kal!!!” Mikey squealed and nuzzled his cheek against her own.

“I know I am not one for togetherness, but this is the best exception to embrace someone that is not my brother’s.” Donnie smiles some as he gave her a little squeeze before pulling away to let Kalani free from the group hug.

As the others finally released her, Donnie was the first to notice Leo watching from a distance. Leaning against the threshold of the brick wall, his arms crossed and his blazer tucked over his arm, the red-eared slider had a content but an uneasy look that created a crease between his brows. Or as he called it affectionately "Raph Chasm." Walking over to his brother, Leo flashed a broader smile and puffed out his chest, earning a scoff from Donatello.

"I told you my plan would work." His brother in blue proclaimed in a boastful tone.

But his brother in purple could tell that there was something more behind his words. For now, he was going to let it be and try to help Kalani acclimate back into the family. But with the sound of laughter and exciting chatter filling their ears, it was silenced once again by the sound of their father.

"Kalani?" Splinter called out, just as surprised as his sons to see the Kappa in the lair once again.

With a broader and warmer smile Kalani made her way to the elder rat and kneeled down to his height. The boys watched as Kalalni embraced Splinter which made him return the embrace with a pleased smile. The sight of them hugging one another was something that made Leo swallow the hard lump in his throat and blink away tears.

“Welcome home, lily pad.” Splinter hummed, a nickname he gave her when she was younger.

Kalani’s embrace tightened slightly as she let out a quiet little trill in his ear. “Thank you, pop-pop.”

As they pulled away and smiled at one another, like a father to his daughter, Kalani cleared her throat and straightened up some. She rose to her feet and straightened out her dress before turning to face the boys. What she wasn’t expecting was all four of them smiling and looking at her as though she was a puppy. To them, it was an amazing moment to watch and see their dad be so happy to see her back and pull out her true feelings. But they knew it was short lived because in a fell swoop Kalani placed a hand on her hip and rolled her eyes.

“Alright, fun time is over. And stop looking at me like that, I’m only here as a temp.” She explained before walking past Mikey, Donnie and Raph and then stood next to Leo. “Care to show me where I’ll be staying, Leonardo?”

Leo was shaken back to the present moment as he cleared his throat and nodded before gesturing to her to follow him. The rest of the Hamato clan watched as the two left to head to the train cars that were their respected rooms. It wasn’t long until Mikey let out a small whoop and fist pumped the air, earning a groan from Donnie.

"Pay up, D! I won this bet!!" Mikey held his hand out as Donatello handed him $40 which Mikey marched away proudly.

"To Miss Porky Coin Jr. For my little Papillon's ring~"

The box turtle sang triumphantly.

As Kalani had walked in silence just behind Leo, she could see that it had grown in size compared to when she was there years before. Many of the same items and furniture still resided, but also an accumulation of new items, games, and furniture that still made it homey. As they neared the subway cars, she was taken back at how similar Leo's room stayed. Albeit a larger bed, a few more comics, a sword rack that had a nice collection and what looked like a couple Yokai pin-ups which made the Kappa roll her eyes.

"You haven't changed a bit, Nardo." She scoffed as she began to venture deeper into his train car bedroom.

Rolling his own eyes, Leo loosened his tie and undid the first two buttons of his shirt before kicking off his shoes. "Yeah well, you're still a stiff and prude like Big Mama so."

"At least I have class and style."

Leo spurted and glared at Kalani who was facing him with her arms crossed and eyes narrowed. It wasn’t uncommon for the two to bicker. In fact, Leo was secretly welcoming the old feeling. But not wanting to cause an actual fight, he went through his dresser and pulled out a shirt and tossed it in Kalani's direction. Catching it with ease, she raised a brow and held up the shirt only to blush behind the fabric. It was a faded pink shirt that just read in bold letters "BRAND." It was a shirt she would wear and steal not only because it was pink, but it had Leo written all over it.

"I know you'll be staying overnight. And sure as hell I'm not letting you sleep in your dress." Leo explained while rubbing the back of his neck.

He gestured to the following car door that had a curtain to almost separate it. As he switched on the lights and slid the door open, Kalani followed him in and felt her jaw drop. A serious trip down memory lane. It was her room once she agreed to live with the boys. It hadn't changed much except for a couple little dust bunnies. But it was relatively clean and tidy. Her bed tucked into the far right hand corner and her room having some minimalist drawing and decorations. Her old hat hung on the wall on the hat hook and was much smaller than what she wore now. Her mind wandered into fond memories of cuddling in bed reading Jupiter Jim Comics and Leo listening to her read her own classical novels that she had collected. Snogging and small whispers of admiration and love. Leo could see she was remembering, this was his meditation room. Yes, he started to meditate.

Cool guys can meditate okay? Okay.

And her room was almost his safe haven that he had now only remembered by glancing at the curtain. As he watched her look around her room and graze her fingers across the spines of her books, Kalani caught sight of a strand of pictures that she and Leo took in a photobooth on one of their dates. It was pinned on her corkboard as she examined it closer and smiled softly at each other. With broad smiles and silly faces, the last photo was of Kalani being the first to kiss his cheek and make the boy blush as pretty as his stripes. But the feeling in her heart as it fluttered at the memory made her clear her throat and straighten her back as she stood up.

"Thank you, Leonardo. I think I'll be retiring for the evening." Kalani spoke, her back still facing him as she spoke.

Leo bit his lower lip slightly and nodded. Slowly turning to leave, he let out a quiet sigh and walked out but not before saying.

"I'm here if you ever need me, Kal."

Kalani's breath hitched slightly at his words. Her vision slowly blurred as she felt the tears roll down her cheek. How she thanked her lucky stars that Leo couldn’t see them. The bittersweetness in her mouth and heart was more than she expected. But here she was, in a reunion of her past. With a family who loves her, and her ex who needed her help.

How is she going to make it?

Merger AU comic... begin!! I think I've got my comic skills to a point where I want to try doing an STC-style multi-part story. I've got it all scripted, now I just have to do it. It's a lot of work! So erm 👉👈 I'd really appreciate if you'd ♥ 💬 or 🔁 to let me know what you think :)

Confused? Don't go here? Read my fanfiction as a prologue! Or don't! This picks up right after the end of Fleetway's Sonic The Comic, so you aren't really missing much. tl;dr for basic stc lore below:

In the UK Sonic comic, Sonic transforms into Super after exposure to large amounts of chaos energy or in times of great stress. Super is a violent, chaotic monster that destroys everything and everyone he sees until he loses power and reverts back to Sonic. Halfway through the comic, Super and Sonic are physically separated. Super then loses his powers and--briefly--his memories, becoming a nice little guy who wanders Metropolis Zone getting adopted by sweet old ladies. This includes Ebony the Mystic Mog (a witch/sorceres) and Pyjamas the Psychic. They take him in as family and give him a job at Ebony's coffee bar The Groovy Train. As Super's chaos energy fades, he starts dying. Ebony takes him to find the Chaos Emeralds to heal him, but runs into the Sonic Adventure 1 plot. Super absorb's Chaos' energy and becomes evil again, until Ebony seals him away in Sonic's body.

Hopefully some of that was apparent already! The only changes I've made to canon before this point is letting Super choose a new name as Fleet :)

So, I just binged all of your Ewe AU content and I have to know- you mentioned how long it took for Lamb and Nariander to get together- were they together when they found Ewe? If so, how long was she trapped for? I probably just misread something, but I do love me some angst.

Thankfully for you, my friend, loving angst is something you and I both have in common.

Narinder and the lamb were indeed together when they found Ewe! Happily married for a few years, in fact, after some drama and strife during the lengthy time that you mentioned. As for finding Ewe, it started with a key that the lamb had found with seemingly no match (they tried doors, chests - anything and everything with a lock - with no luck). At a loss, Narinder recommended asking the Mystic Dealer, partly due to the key’s winged design.

The Mystic Dealer confirmed it was a special key that could only be used if you already knew where its matching door led, which happened to be a sort of…”pocket dimension” (usually used to hide and stow treasure or any number of valuable things). On the other side of the newly-formed door was a lush-looking clearing, surrounded by woods similar to Darkwood, with a storehouse at its center.

This place was untouched by time, but time still seemed to pass. And that is where Ewe had been waiting, unable to escape, starve, grow old, or die. She fell into a catatonic state, already worn by the devastating sight of all her fellow sheep being dragged away to unknown fates, convinced she was doomed to reside in her prison for all eternity.

kissing Saeyoung's hands!!!

"It doesn't even hurt!"

"Please don't fuss over this!"

"I'm telling you, honey butter, I'm fine!"

Saeyoung's protests fell on deaf ears as you dragged him to the bathroom, where the lighting was better. You didn't care what he had to say; the cut on his hand looked nasty, and you weren't going to risk letting anything happen to your lover.

"Look, it's not even bleeding anymore!"

You snorted as you pushed him against the countertop. "Sit," you ordered, and with a grumble Saeyoung obediently plopped himself on the counter. "It is still bleeding!" you wailed in dismay, as you held his hand up to the light.

"So you can hear me."

"Saeyoung Choi!"

Hastily you dug out first aid supplies from the cabinet. As you searched for bandages and ointments, you could spot a dark hoodie shuffling out of the corner of your eye. "Don't even think about leaving," you snapped. "You are getting patched up here and now!"

The shuffling stopped.

Heaving a huge sigh, you returned to Saeyoung with supplies in tow. Carefully you reached past him to turn on the faucet, soaking and soaping a washcloth. You then turned back to Saeyoung and gently grabbed his injured hand. He didn't resist you this time, but rather tutted dramatically as you began to dab at the wound.

"Saeyoung... how in the world did you manage this?"

"One of my babies is in her rebellious teen phase."

"You mean there could be OIL in here, and you weren't going to let me clean it?" The horror and exasperation in your voice were powerful enough to make him wince.

"It's really not a big deal," he began, but you firmly squeezed his hand to shut him up.

After you'd wiped off the dry blood, you were able to see his injury clearly for the first time. A gash on the side of his hand, running from the bottom of his pinky finger to the top of his wrist. "This is the length of your palm," you fretted.

"Couldn't even tell."

His tone was different, somehow. He'd stopped arguing but also was acting less blasé. Now he just sounded... tired. Resigned. Hollow.

"It really doesn't hurt?" you asked softly. Carefully you put the washcloth in the sink, and you reached out to get the antibiotic ointment. "It didn't even sting when I washed it?"

"Not even a tickle."

You didn't want to believe him, but as you spread the ointment over his injury, he didn't flinch once. You gave his palm an experimental squeeze, wondering if he'd react. "Shoot!"

The pressure had opened the cut once again.

"I felt that," Saeyoung commented as you grabbed the washcloth again to dab at the edges of the wound. "It just... felt no different than picking up a shoe or opening a doorknob."

You reapplied the antibiotic that you had wiped off, furrowing your brow as thoughts raced around in circles in your head. Had his fingers always been this calloused? Had his knuckles always been covered with this many old, faded scars? Had his fingers, thin as they are, always been this muscular? Your own hands suddenly felt so feeble, so flimsy, as you began winding gauze around his hand, over and over.

"I can't afford to feel too much pain," was all he offered in explanation. "Not the way I've lived.

"Hands like mine don't deserve tender care from someone like you."

Having just put on the last stretch of bandages, you looked up at him with sorrow in your eyes. Much to your dismay, he was looking up at the ceiling, perhaps unable to meet your gaze.

You didn't know the full extent of the things that he had done to keep himself and Saeran alive; you didn't particularly care. All that mattered was that you knew he undertook those actions and made those choices in the name of love. He was a good person.

He had stopped trying to push you away, so why did he have to talk as if he was still damning himself? Did he plan to live the remainder of his life joyfully, but then spend his afterlife in flames? You didn't quite know or understand his feelings on that matter.

But you did know you loved him, and that he deserved every reminder you could give him.

"Your hands can't feel anything anymore?" you murmured, the lilt in your voice clearly prompting him for an answer.

"If only."

The detached, distant expression on Saeyoung's face immediately melted away, replaced by one of awe, caution, fear, and wonder, as your lips began to peck at each and every one of his knuckles. Then his fingertips. Then his (bandaged) palm. You even nudged the injured side of his hand with your nose, gently so as not to aggravate the wound. "Nothing at all?"

His tearful golden eyes met yours directly as he whispered, "Maybe there's something after all."

Idea for Swap Au: Mystic seller should be swap with the fox

First of all, holy shit this is my first ask/submission here on Tumblr- Thank you!

I was only considering this Swap at first! Then when I tried making some sketches, I REALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS IDEA

Since the Mystic Seller isn't rly an animal, I thought they should be 2 mismatched eyes under a robe, where you can't really identify what species they even are. So the Fox was already a great candidate for the Swap. Then I started sketching him next and in the middle of it I remembered the Kitsune from Japanese folklore and gave him 9 tails immediately

This is just a first sketch btw, I might make a colored version another time + I want to draw the Swap Fox silhouette a bit more triangular and add their Disciples

A few more minor things:

Maid Rika crumbs! I'll take what I can get 😔 Looks like she has a sweet tooth

This whole CG is an overall fun callback to the one we got on the 6th anniversary, but MY GOD Cheritz just keep making MC look absolutely gorgeous every time. Miss??? I'll be your butler happily and with no questions asked.

Kind of a minor thing, but I love seeing these two happy next to each other <3 Also the height difference is making me giggle. But also the hand placements are wonky and my sixth sense is already feeling the upcoming rumors on this CG, oof

Saeyoung is wearing a ring???? Are you not telling us something? By the looks of that cheeky grin, I'd say the answer is yes

[sugarpasteltmnt]

OKAY I wanted to wait till tomorrow to post this but I got excited seeing your response to my teaser and y'know...

I took this more as a lighting/colorpalette study so it's a bit different from Void's usual design I see featured on here often :) Idk if I'm fully happy with how it came out but it's a study so eeehhhh whatever haha.

He is indeed very shaped and I love drawing him so I hope you enjoy :D

(This is based on my loose idea of what his #facereveal could be like but we'll see what you have actually planned >:))

WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! 💘💗💙❤️🧡❣️💞💓💛💙❤️💘💗💓❤️💜💘💗💕💛💙💘💖🩵!!!!
