Love Like You

f!Leo x gn!reader

Warnings: swearing, morning sex, soft sex, you touch his tail, biting, Leo is a spoiled brat..., let me know if I missed anything

A/N: The part 2 to Love Like You, finally some soft smut. I kinda made Leo spoiled because my Leo ghost (for my desktop) keeps asking for pets. Imagine I make a third part with Leo dealing with your death... that would be funny, huh?

Previous | Next

Leonardo's eyes flutter open, as he groans and stretches his whole body lazily. He feels like he's still half asleep, before sighing as a yawn forces his mouth open. He sees you laying next to him. Leo's breathing hitches in his throat, a small smile appearing on his face as he starts to pull on his partner, wrapping their arms around your chest as he presses his lips to the back of your neck. Leonardo chuckled before pulling back, nuzzling you cheek while letting out an exhausted sigh.

You groan softly, waking as he pulls you closer, kissing your neck. "Good morning, my dear husband..."

"Good morning, love of my life..." Leo says softly, his eyes flicking up and down his partner's face as he tries to take in every feature. Despite looking sleepy and rumpled, Leonardo's heart swells in their throat at the sight.

You press your body back against his, your back against his chest. "You feeling better, babe?"

Leonardo hummed with pleasure at the feel of your body against his, his breath hitching as he feels his chest rub against his partner's back. "I still feel a little tired but I'm okay," Leo assured them as he wrapped his arms around your midsection. Leo let out an exhausted sigh, feeling your soft skin beneath his hand as he hugged you closer. "How did you sleep, darling? Did you rest well?"

"The best sleep I've had in a while..." You mumble, feeling Leo's hand stroke your side. "You need to come back to bed more often..."

"Don't I know it," Leonardo sighed, feeling the desire begin to brew in his loins. Leo holds you close, pressing a kiss to the side of your neck. The world can't hurt him while you're around.

"Y'know..." You hum softly. "You promised me something last night..."

Leo hummed with amusement as their cheeks flushed. "I make a lot of promises in the heat of the moment, my love," he teased gently, lightly tugging on your shoulder to pull you closer. Leonardo's heart stirred a little, his eyes shining. "You know I never intended to keep them~"

"So you don't intend on making love to me this morning~?" You tease, reaching behind you to stroke the back of his neck.

"Oh so that's the promise you're talking about..." Leonardo chuckled, sighing. He grumbled playfully as he wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you closer to him. "You convinced me, I'll honor my word. I won't leave you hanging."

"What a fucking tease..." You laugh as Leo pulls you closer.

"Is it really my fault? You're so fun to tease." He smiles, running a hand down your neck and over your shoulder. Leo's smile grows wider as his hand drifts to your waist. "Who's gonna protect the world if we decide to spend a day in bed?" His face darkens slightly as he asks the question. His breath hot on the back of your neck. His hand rests on your hips, holding you close as he speaks. Leo's voice is soft, but serious.

"Raph and Splints are taking care of it." You whine softly, pressing back against him. "Leo, this is the first time we've been in the same bed in like 3 months..."

"I guess the world'll have to wait." He leans in and kisses your neck again, his hand sliding beneath your shirt. "You're right, we should focus on us first..." He finally kisses you, smiling against your lips. His hand running down to your hip again. "You know, I missed doing this... This is what we should've been doing this whole time."

"That's what I've been trying to tell you." You tease, kissing him again. "But you were too busy being 'General Leonardo' you forgot to be 'husband Leonardo.'"

"General Leonardo is a man on a mission. Husband Leo is a lucky man who gets to spend the day with the love of his life."

"Let's never go 3 months without doing this again, deal?"

"Sounds like a good deal to me, but only if I get breakfast in bed." He chuckles, winking at you.

"Spoiled brat..." You sigh, playfully exasperated. "Fine."

"I prefer the term 'loved husband,' but spoiled brat'll do." He laughs, kissing you again. Leo wraps his arm around you, pulling you closer. The weight of his responsibilities slipping away as he forgets the coming days.

Leo pulls you closer, his passion beginning to flare. His tongue pushes against yours, his hand holds firmly on your hip. His thumb slips under the waistband of your pants. Leo's breathing gets heavier as your moan echoes around the room.

"Can't go much farther without losing some clothes..." He grins, tugging your shirt off. Leo pauses for a moment, enjoying the view. His grin widens, placing small kisses on your shoulders. He kisses across to your collarbone, slowly moving down your body. You reach for the hem of his pants, pushing them down slightly. "Woah, hey now... We've got all day to do this. Unless you don't want to enjoy breakfast?" He says with a sly smirk.

"You're insufferable..." You mumble, kissing him again as your hand slips into his pants.

"Am I not allowed to ask for a little break?" He scoffs. "I'm exhausted and I want to enjoy this as much as possible." Leo puts on a serious expression, hoping to keep you from pushing too hard too soon. He nuzzles your neck as he speaks, hoping to use affection instead of authority.

"Sorry..." You remove your hand respectfully, instead caressing his plastron.

"It's okay." Leo smiles softly, leaning down to kiss you. "We have the whole day, we should try to enjoy it." He nuzzles into your shoulder again, pulling you closer. He starts kissing the side of your neck, passion reigniting. Leo holds you closer, kissing growing more intense. His hand slowly start exploring down your body once more. You move so he can settle between your legs more comfortably, caressing his shell. Leo sighs and pulls back as you moan softly, resting his forehead against your shoulder. "You're making me want to skip breakfast entirely..."

"Not my fault your hands feel so good..." You pant softly.

"Don't blame me when you skip lunch too." He chuckles, kissing your neck again. He enjoys your reactions.

"Are you suggesting we skip breakfast all together?" You ask, playfully. Leo tries to resist you advances and keep himself in control as his mind fills with more and more lewd fantasies.

"If that's what you want..." A devilish grin spreads across Leo's lips as he kisses your neck, slipping his tongue across your skin. "... I could be convinced..."

"Gosh..." You sigh softly, pressing your hips to his.

"Mmm... It seems my resistance isn't lasting long..." He chuckles, kissing you again, his hand moving up your stomach. Leo's movements become more urgent as he grinds his hips against yours.

"Oh god, Leo..." You gasp, meeting his hips with your own.

"What are we going to do about breakfast?" He asks, his tone a mix of playfulness and desire.

"I fell like breakfast is the least of our concern..."

"You're right... Let's focus on us, the rest can wait." Leo kisses you again, his hand slipping down your leg, squeezing your thigh. He pulls your leg over his waist. You push your heel into his shell to push his hips harder against yours. "So you're going to be the naughty one today, huh?" He says playfully, biting your neck.

You hum in reply, moving to push your pants off. "Oh no you don't." Leo's hand moves down your leg, but he can't stop smiling. "Don't even think about going any deeper than that." His tone is stern, but playful. He can't stop his voice from breaking mid way, showing you how hard he's trying to hold himself back.

"Why not?" I ask, tilting my head in confusion.

"We all know where this is going to end up if you continue right?" Leo chuckles as he nuzzles against you. "As much as I would love to skip all the responsibilities in the world and focus on us... I can't leave my people behind..."

"Raph and your dad are handling it..." You huff, a little frustrated. "We have all day, yes, but I'm about to lose my mind, Leo... Fuck breakfast, this can be our breakfast or we can get brunch after this. I just... I need you..."

"You know..." Leo sighs, pulling you close. "Fuck... Let's forget about breakfast.." He whispers into your ear, his voice a mix of a chuckle and a groan. You push your pants down more, kissing along his jaw. "Baby... I swear to god..." Leo scowls at you, but his scolding isn't serious. He can't help but smile as he pulls you close to him. "What if we get caught..?"

"I will throw a pillow at them for not knocking on our door before bursting in." You huff, kicking your pants off.

A wide grin spreads across Leo's face. You always did know how to make him smile. "...You know what..." He says playfully, kissing you lightly. "I like that idea." He chuckles, kissing you again, a bit more passionately, and pushing you flat onto the bed.

You kiss him back, your hands on his shell again. "You know it's a little unfair for me to be naked..."

"Oh really..." Leo's voice is filled with playful indignation, he leans down to you, hovering over you as he kisses your neck. "We can always fix that, Y/N." An evil grin spreads across his face, and he begins to remove his pants off, his hand now caressing your leg. Your hands move to his hips, slowly sliding to his tail. You play with it, his tail wrapping around your finger. "Careful, I might just grab you with my tail." He chuckles before kissing you again, running a hand through your hair. "I know you like playing with it"

"It's soft..." You shrug softly. "And I like how you sound when I touch it." You stroke his tail again, base to tip.

"Mmm!" Leo grunts, his tail twisting in your hand. He presses his lips against your neck, holding you close as he kisses you repeatedly, his tail wrapping around your wrist. You moan softly, continuing to stroke his tail, or what you could reach since it was wrapped around your wrist.

Leo's tail releases your wrist as he slowly sinks himself into you. You move your hands to his carapace. "It's not luck" He says softly between kisses. "I chose you and you chose me." His smile widens as he pulls away, just barely, staring into your eyes with all the love and adoration in the world. "And I will always be here for you, and I'll never let go of this feeling. No matter what comes, I will always choose you." His voice is firm and determined, full of love and compassion.

Leo groans, slowly rocking into you, burying his face in your shoulder. He grunts slightly, feeling your nails against his shell, slowly picking up the pace. He lets out a loud moan as you move your leg higher up his waist, pressing you into the bed. He slows his thrusts, not wanting to push you over the edge just yet.

"Fuck, baby..." Leo groans, lifting your leg more, speeding up slightly. He kisses your neck, holding your hips up off the bed. You can tell he's close as his thrusts loose their rhythm. "Cum with me, baby... Please..." He pleads softly. You both reach your climaxes at the same time. Leo holds you close, shallowing thrusting to ride out both of your highs. He slowly pulls out and lays next to you while you recoup. "I don't deserve you..."

"Sweet baby blue..." You huff, cradling his face in your hands. You slightly squish his cheeks. "I landed the greatest man there is. There's no one better, you're it. Besides... I already married you, you're kinda stuck with me." You wiggle the fingers on your left hand in front of his face.

"I'm so lucky to have you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. I don't deserve to have someone like you by my side." He shakes his head slightly. "I don't want to make you unhappy."

You kiss his lips, hard. "I wouldn't have married you if you made me unhappy. That would've been pretty dumb." You smile, kissing his snout. "You're irritating at times... Stubborn beyond belief - almost as stubborn as Donnie..." You kiss his cheek. "But you're my husband. The love of my life." You kiss between where his eyebrows would be if he had any. "And I will always be here for you..." You press a small kiss to the corner of his mouth.

if is it ok to request, what if April brought her best friend down to meet the bayverse turtles? But her bestie is goth/punk with piercings and tattoos? looks a little intimidating but an abseloute sweetheart?<3

love this idea, thank you for your patience as it's taken me so long to get to this x

Also this is 100% like my best friend, they're super goth and tatted up to the 9's but they're also a massive sweetheart

Leo

"hey, I have someone I want you to meet" April calls from the doorway to the lair

Leo knows who she wants him to meet, she's been going on and on about how this friend is finally in town and she would love to hang out, all of you guys together

he puts on all his charm

"And who is this lovely-"

then he sees her

lips, eyebrows and nose pierced, hair dyed in an acid green/black split dye, dark and black ripped up clothes, tattoos covering every inch of visible skin

"-wow" is all he can make out

she's the complete opposite of April looks wise

"No, keep going. You were about to tell me how lovely I look" she jokes. "Hey, I may not be barbie girl pretty but I bet 'ya anything I can kick your ass at call of duty!"

that softens the mood and makes everyone a little more relaxed

and she was totally right, Leo was fighting for his life playing that game with her

when it's finally time for them to leave she calls back "And if you think my hair is cool, just wait til you see what I can do with a paint brush, that shell of your's is going to put the Sistine Chapel to shame when I'm done with it!"

Leo just laughs, thinks she's a great girl

"Never judge a book by its cover" he mouths to April as she walks out the door

Raph

He knows April is there, he can hear her joking with Mikey but he can hear another woman's voice

he walks in to say hi and stops dead in his tracks when he sees who she's with

"......"

"Raph, it's rude to stare" April scolds

"It's ok" he friend reassures "I just have a natural allure that's irresistible to men and turtles alike, it would seem"

that makes him chuckle, she's funny, he's glad she's funny

"The, erm, the..." He keeps touching his nose, clearly indicating towards her septum piercing "... like a bull" is all he manages

"Well, I am a taurus" she quips back

he laughs again

tensions settle after that and he gets on with her like a house on fire

he asks her later what he first impression of him was, since it was clear he was taken aback by her appearance

"My first thought was whether or not you'd fit through the door frame, holy shit dude you're built like a truck!"

the rest of the evening is spent with a lot of joking and laughing, April's friend can give as good as she gets and Raph likes that

Mikey

He's so excited to meet April's friend

so much so, he's prancing round the place trying to get everything ready

when April walks through the door with her, he his jaw drops

"Devil lady!" he says in a tone which indicates he clearly thought that was a compliment

"Masked turtle man!" she replies with the exact same enthusiasm

the two of them bond over how cool she is and how cool Mikey is

comparing stories and boasting, all in good fun, until they both get a bit carried away

April has to put her foot down when her friend tries to give him a stick 'n poke tattoo on the kitchen floor

"It's not sanitary! Put the ball point pen away! He's gonna get sepsis!!!"

eventually they all retire to the sofa and play guitar hero, which April's friend does not do too well at

"I thought all you punk chicks knew how to play guitar" he says

"Nope, we just date guys who do" she laughs

After they leave Mikey is begging April to bring her round again

he still wants that tattoo

Donnie

He's not the best at meeting new people

but, he actually feels more comfortable when he see's April's friend is alternative looking

he loves a good social outcast because he is one

they bond over talking about the history of subcultures and the ecological impacts of fast fashion and why you should DIY all your clothes or thrift them

April is ind of just sitting there like "what have I done? Putting two nerds in the same room..."

When the subject of tattoos gets brought up she mentions a couple she regrets

cue Donnie and his inventions

"I have a laser remover!"

"No" April pipes up

"It's totally safe, it's just-"

"N-O! No!" she reiterates

her friend mouths "When she's gone" and winks at him

the two of them are fast friends

Spinoff, Spinoff!!! 😃 totally no official, and totally not cannon. Just a fan in loved with this Au♡.

It's been a couple of days since Leo found himself in the past. Was he really back in time or was this all a weird dream? Yeah. Yeah! That must be. Leo remembered being rescued by his brothers from the prison dimension, and crossing through a bright orange portal then everything went black from there. Of course! He is probably resting in the medbay, and being taken care of by his brothers. All of this has to be a wacky dream. Besides, if that was the case, being trapped in time wouldn't meant terrible consequences? Like changing the future, creating different timelines, some paradox or whatever. Like, how affected would be his present? Totally Impossible because dreams can't cause problems.

All of this time continuum made Leo's head hurt, good thing he had Donnie for this nerd things. Probably he'll ask him later... when he wakes up... eventually. This makes him question like for how long? It's just been a couple of days he's been here, makes him wonder how long has been out there in his present?

Leo needed to stop think too much about that or otherwise he'll the worst migraine he ever had. He just had to focus on the kids; watch over them while their father is out scavenging for food. Just to think about it made him feel hungry, but also with wanting to go out too. Maybe walk a little, get some fresh air, maybe a pizza from Run of the Mill, and stretch those legs. But he can't, not by the fact that he had a broken arm and leg, but because he had to watch over the tots.

No matter how many times Leo counted: one, two, three. Or repeats: Red, purple, orange. Raph, Donnie, Mikey. There was one that was missing, and that was his younger self. Was he replacing him? Would that be how dreams work? He hoped so, because it won't be nothing cool if a toddler version of him was replacing him in his own present time.

"Should we invite him to play with us?" Suggested the purple coded turtle. "He's been like that for hours. It's kinda worrying." He recieved a couple of nods in response from the other two turtles. The three toddlers had what it appears to be dolls, a little burn, but still good to play with.

"But didn' daddy said he needs westing?" Asked the youngest turtle. He thought that the older turtle might be to tired to play with them.

"He's not even in bed. He might agree to join us. Besides, this could be good opportunity to make him some more questions about our future... and make him stop look so creepy observing the nothing." The three of them turn to see the blue turtle staring the wall, did he even blinked?

"Yes!" Making sound more the s. "Daddy would be ploud of us for helping. We can be scititifics."

"It's SCIENtifics. And what you meant is Doctors. Which is very different because those are who are responsible to take care of the health of patients and... if you guys didn't want to know you should've said so." Little Donnie was left behind. Didn't take him long to follow them.

"Hello, Mister Leo" Mikey called; made a little pause to make sure if he caught the older's attention. He was startled a little by the jump Leo made. Mikey scared him unintentionally, but a least he take him out of trance. "Sowwy. Would you like to play?" He showed his little doll to Leo. You can tell which doll belongs to who; all four dolls hair (or what is left of it) were also color coded.

The kid was waiting patiently for his answer. When suddenly they heard a voice coming from the entrance. "kids, I'm home." The little ones didn't wait a minute to rush to their father. "Dad. Daddy. Papá." Was heard from the three.

"How are my little ones?" Asked while he gave all of them a hug. Splinter had brought a bag full of old stuff that he distributed to each one. Donnie had recieved a microscope for kids, the lents were cracked but that didn't bothered him at all. He was super happy. Raph recieved a "new" old bear plush, it looks like they sewed it's arms back together, and that was missing an eye and an ear, but that didn't bothered Raph at all. For Mikey, he recieved a book of stickers, the majority were gone but there were still some left. That didn't bothered him, he was also happy like his brothers.

Leo was watching the wholesome scene in front of him. He could remember how happy they were even with the smallest things like this. It didn't had to be brand new nor expensive for the kids to enjoy it. They were really happy with what they got. And even if it wasn't to their liking, they will still showed a smile because their father gave it to them thinking of them, and that was more then enough. Leo almost let some tears.

"And of course, I wouldn't forget about you, Blue." He was brought back from his thoughts. Splinter handed to him what it seems to be a Jupiter Jim comic. Leo observed the comic in his hands in desbeliefe. Not because he had really great comic of JJ, but because he wasn't expecting a nice surprise like this. Not for him. "Oh, I'm sorry. You don't read this things no more, do you? I should've known..."

"I love it." Leo interrupt his father he saw that he was so nervous. He didn't want him to think he didn't like it. On the contrary. It might be simple little comic book, but it was being given with love, that makes it special. "Thanks dad." He gave his dad a small hug. Even if Leo thought it wasn't enough gratitude.

Splinter was a little confused, but he still correspond the hug. "Uhm, sure. Anytime." They stood there for a couple minutes more. "Umm, blue. You could let go now. I need to cook us a meal for lunch time."

"Oh right. I'm sorry." Leo immediately let go. And saw how his father vanished into the kitchen.

"So this means our father doesn't give us anymore presents in the future, huh?" Observant. Leo turn to see that one who was asking. Donnie was who approached Leo to ask. It was only him, the other two stood behind playing with their "new" toys. Donnie seemed sad, but with a little bit of hope to think that he might have a different response from what his thinking. "What are you saying, Don-tron? Of course he still gives us presents. Why wouldn't he?" He lied. They're just six years old, and meaning that they'll stop receiving gifts in two years more. Until their dad enters the phase of depression. Leo didn't want them to know that... not yet.

Side note: I did this in honor to Angel and his amaizing blog/Au. If you liked it, I could continue with the small side, side, non-official, fan story. If not, is also fine, (it's my first time writing a story) I would love to hear some feedback and your opinion.

Thank you for reading 💙

Hello, I saw your requests are open. So I decided to send something.

Could you write a few headcanons for the rise boys with a reader that’s from another country. And could you leave it open from where? And reader has a different native language, English would be their second language. It would be kinda funny if the turtles (or one of them) doesn’t realize reader is a foreigner at first.

I‘m not from the USA and would love to see something with a foreign reader.

Thank you and have a nice rest of your day. :3

Rise!Boys with Reader from different country

Relationship status: platonic/romantic

Reader prounouns: They/Them

TW: Some grammatical errors because english is not my first language.

Author's note: I apologize for the long wait for this order; a lot has happened in my life. Not only did many of my childhood idols turn out to be bad people, but also my mom told me to leave home after we argued, and I poured out all my grievances to her. So, well, soon I probably won't have a place to live because my savings are too small to even rent a room. Plus, my mom took away all my painkillers, and the migraines haven't disappeared, so I'm in pain all the time.

But on the bright side, with the help of my friend, I managed to create a CV, and tomorrow I'm going to submit it to a company where I can work :D Unfortunately, I'll have to wait over a month for the tests, but it will be the first step in overcoming my fear of people.

But anyway, thank you anon, have a nice day/night too!! :D

Leonardo

◇Do I really have to state the obvious as if it weren't clear? Leo is a goof; not a single thought crossed his mind that you might be even more different than him.

◇Even if April dropped subtle hints about your nationality, it just didn't register. Comics with Jupiter Jim are too captivating for him to bother with trivial facts.

◇It only hit him when your phone rang during a shared skateboarding session. When you answered and started speaking in your language, the guy literally had a Pikachu's surprised face.

◇After that, brace yourself for a million questions from the curious turtle. You'll be happy to answer.

◇Leonardo has a knack for learning languages, even if it's just basic words.

◇Thanks to Sr Hueso in his life, he's picking up Spanish. So, what's stopping him from learning your language too?

◇Btw, praise him every time he says something right; he needs that.

◇He'll also be eager to learn about cultural differences between you two. You might not seem very different, but a deeper look might reveal significant distinctions.

◇Ohohoho! National costumes? He'd gladly try them on.

◇But expect him to tease you by intentionally mispronouncing a few words or judging you based on stereotypes about people from your country.

◇If it makes you cry or get angry, he'll make sure never to do it again.

◇He likes food from your country but more as an occasional thing. If he could, he'd probably just eat pizza all the time.

Raphael

◇Raph, despite not being as dumb as Leo, suspected from the start that something was up with you that you hadn't mentioned.

◇But it never occurred to him to ask.

◇He ultimately found out from his father. Indirect, but still.

Raphael sighed throatily, rummaging through his kitchen cabinets. Your ears lightly twitched at each muffled or not-so-muffled clatter of things in those cabinets.

"What are you looking for?" Their voice carried both curiosity and a hint of irritation as she added more pepperoni slices to the light pizza dough. The turtle sighed again, this time softer, closing another cabinet to look at Their.

"I can't find any cups or glasses anywhere," his gaze expressed annoyance. "Probably those idiots kept taking new dishes instead of washing theirs, and now they're hoarding a mountain of dirty ones like hamsters."

"You complain about them, but guess whose kitchen I found a bunch of dirty plates breeding a new species in?" Their laughter started to grate on his head, but despite his efforts, a smile appeared on his rough lips.

"That's different; I, um... I'm the oldest, I'm allowed!"

"Ohohoho! [Y.N], my dear!" Splinter entered the red kitchen excitedly, appearing right behind the teenager using his ninja skills. "Are you making your delicious [Most popular dish in your country] again? My mouth waters at the mere thought!"

"Er, what?" Raph had a slightly puzzled expression, hearing about such a dish for the first time. What is that even?

"Oh, unfortunately no, just regular pizza," [Y.N] replied with an apologetic look, placing the last slice of meat. "But don't worry, maybe I'll bring that tomorrow, sounds good?"

"Oh, yes, definitely!"

◇Shortly after that incident, he asked about that dish.

"Oh? That's one of the dishes from my country."

"From your country? I didn't think America had such food to offer."

"Raph, I'm not from America."

"... What?"

◇Less surprised than Leo, but still.

◇Since then, you've been explaining everything about yourself and your country to him.

◇The biggest fan of dishes from your country, especially the way you make them.

◇Raph has a simple mind, so it will take a long time before he grasps the basics of your language, but he remembers many words that he tries to use at the nearest opportunity.

◇He loves it when he says a word correctly, and you pat him on the head as a reward.

◇As for clothing... sorry, but he's too big for that.

◇BUT, you'll make him bracelets in the colors of the flag if he insists.

◇There won't be jokes about your origin; Raph is too respectful turtle for that.

Donatello

◇He's not dumb (usually), and I think he'll be the first to ask if there's anything you haven't told him.

◇Of course, what is life without a bit of fun? You denied it.

◇Thanks to that, it was a game of cat and mouse for two weeks.

◇Eventually, Donnie hacked into one of your social media accounts where you clearly stated which country you're from. If not, he just had to check the login history in different countries.

◇Of course, he got a smack on the back of the head.

(And it's very possible his brothers put him in isolation overnight, you know, that place when Splinter had a fever? Who knows.)

◇You think he won't quickly learn the basics of your language? Dude, he taught a squirrels sign language, what can't he do?

◇Thanks to that, you can talk about various topics that shouldn't be brought up around his family in your native language.

◇And as a fun fact, wanting to surprise him, you asked Shelldon to teach you binary code. The guy was amazed, and Leo wanted to perform exorcisms on you.

◇Maybe he's not as intrigued by your culture, but he wouldn't want to offend you, so if you start talking about it, he won't stop you.

◇On the other hand, he really appreciates national costumes, maybe even doing that scene with you like they were hypnotized? You won't have to ask him for long.

◇Not a big fan of your national dishes, maybe because of the consistency? Or the unusual taste?

◇He'll likely tease you about your origin, but they'll be harmless jokes.

Michelangelo

◇Silly kid. Just a silly kid.

◇Nah, kidding, it just never crossed his mind that his friend is from a different country.

◇And you found it amusing to some extent.

◇Eventually, you told him about it when he got fascinated by a painting from your country.

◇Surprised Pikachu face ver.2

◇Probably the most excited about learning your culture, even if he doesn't understand it and it differs significantly from what's prevalent in America.

◇If your country has an unusual drawing style, he'll beg you to try it together. How can you refuse such an angel? (Not really an angel, especially when Dr. Rude comes into play)

◇He'll be the first to want to try on national costumes, both male and female.

◇He'll also want to, this time by himself, cook some dishes from your country.

◇He burned the kitchen.

◇A total failure when it comes to learning languages, so either you give up on teaching him, or you'll need a lot of patience.

◇Relatively supportive turtle, but he won't be as mindful of your origin afterward; it'll be like it used to be with the extra toppings.

hi! could you do what splinter thinks of raph and reader's relationship, but more geared towards him bonding with reader?

Jesus that took me some time, i'm sorry for making you wait. But the whole thing evolved into something larger than I expected and I'm quite proud of it now so I didn't want to push myself and half-ass the final product. Enjoy!

Bonding with Splinter over your relationship with Raph

„My dear girl... Why don’t you lay down and have a rest, at least for a moment? You barely seem to be able to hold your head straight up”

Splinter. His voice was soft and slightly amused. You must have almost fallen off the couch a moment ago. Shleepishly batting your eyelids, your positioned yourself straight back up, trying to appear as dignified as possible.

„Oh, no offense, Splinter... But I’m not going anywhere until I see those knuckleheads coming in safely through that... Door” You gestured to the entrance area.

„I see” You were surprised, he gave up so easily on convincing you. Old rat stepped towards you, a warm smile spread on his snout. As you gathered the blanket around you, uncertain what to do now that you’ve been found, he stopped by your side and reached out his hand to lay on your arm.

„May this old rodent at least offer you some tea to brighten the waiting a bit?”

Oh.

„Well... If it’s not a problem... I’d love it. But no no”, you began picking yourself up, „I can make some for us both, if you want some”

Splinter shook his head beningly and signaled you to not get up. „No no my child, you sit, I wouldn’t dream of disturbing your ward. Please” His rat arm gently pushed you back down and in a strangely parental manner, put the blanket back onto your curled legs. „I’ll be right back. And i’m sure Leonardo will appreciate a warm cup as well once they’re back from their watch”

A smirk came onto your lips. „Yeah, he would. Donnie as well, just with lemon. And Raph would kill for a dark coffee with a whiskey shot, especially if it’s been raining tonight.” You smiled almost instantly as soon as you mentioned your precious, hulking turtle in red. And there was no way Splinter wasn’t noticing that. Fuck it, he already knew everything there was to know, and probably even more.

„Really?” You really couldn’t say if Splinter’s amazement was genuine or simply well – acted. „Well, I’ve been sure he’s been dumping something in his cup, but I wasn’t sure what it was, I must admit” You couldn’t not snort at the remark, and as your and Splinter's eyes met, you shared a warm smile.

„I’ll be back in a second, my dear. You just wait”

Unsure, you layed back against the couch and watched the giant rat stroll towards the kitchen.

It wasn’t the first nor second time you visited and spent the night in the lair, but it was definitely the first time you’ve been left alone in it with no one but Splinter to keep you company. Donnie suddenly picked up some strange signal from up above, supposedly about the Foot Clan, and despite your visit they all jumped onto the idea of heading out to an emergency patrol right this second. Raph was, truthfully, reluctant to leave your side even for an hour or so, but duty was calling and in the end, he wasn’t one to ignore it. So despite how badly he didn’t want to part during one of those sweet moments you were down there with his family he was always so longing for, he headed out as well after his brothers, promising he’ll be back with you before you even notice. Situation was apparently quite serious.

Too serious for you to be dragged along as you often were.

You definitely did notice Raph’s absence, and the more time passed, and the more painfully the hour turned into two and almost three, your mind and heart couldn’t keep still.

What if something happened?

To the boys, and worst, to your Raphael?

He told you as he was kissing your forehead goodbye you could just take a nap and he'll wake you up once he’s back, but like hell you were going to sleep when your turtle bros were sticking their necks out somewhere in the dark alleys of the city. So now, you were fighting off both weariness after the day and rising freezing cold anxiety in your gut, spread on the couch by the wall of the lair, wrapped in Raph’s massive, comfortingly soft blanket you two have been sleeping under every night you spent in the lair.

Until it turned out that despite Donnie’s reassurements, their dad, sensei or however the turtles felt like calling him at the given moment, wasn’t, in fact, dead asleep.

There wasn’t much that could actually happen to the turtles, they were practically bulletproof, but even so... Something still could. Even if a low – laying bunch of Foot marauders didn’t stand a chance against them.

„There’s our tea. This one’s yours. Careful, it’s hot”

Splinter definitely had a way of not announcing his presence whatsoever.

Heavenly smelling of pear, lemongrass, cinnamon and peach, a cup landed in your hand. Among everything else gathered in the lair, every piece of junk and reused, redesigned items, it looked weirdly out of place. A pretty white cup, adorned with most likely hand – painted blue flowers. Where did they even get it from

„Thank you...” You hesitated. „Actually. How... Should I call you? I don’t think your... turtle sons ever settled that with me”

At the mention of turtle sons, rat’s eyes flickered playfully.

„Oh, I think Splinter will be just fine. Unless you prefer terms your brothers use, but I didn’t assume you’d be comfortable with Dad or Sensei” He started laughing to himself.

You stared blankly into the liquid in the cup in your hand.

„Not yet”, you thought, but you bit the tip of your finger and let the not funniest of jokes slip to the back of your mind.

Splinter with utmost finesse lifted his cup and took a sip of his own tea, unmistakably white one, judging by the smell.

How the fuck did he know what tea you liked?

„I thought you’ll wondering where did I learn what tea you like”

Bitch.

„I’d assume Leo ratted me out”

„Hmm, not quite him but you’re close. It was your very own Raphael” He lifted his eyes from the cup, as if to check what kind of reaction mentioning your man’s name would bring.

Before you answered – you only now realised how much Splinter’s presence soothed you. You were all tense moments ago, but now your entire body was comfortably loose and relaxed, you have already forgotten how stressed you were in front of the man. Rat. And you have almost, but not quite forgotten what worried you so in the first place.

„My very own?” Absolutely certain now that Splinter’s shamelessly teasing you, you decided to play along with the joke.

„Well, seeing how much you and my son care about each other and how you always yearn for each other – there is no other way of saying it.”

A warming feeling was blooming inside you and a smile was slowly creeping onto your lips, but you didn’t lose your composure.

„Please, you’re embarassing me. That’s your son we're talking about.”

Splinter said nothing more, only smiled and took another sip of his tea. You followed suit.

Three hours. Motherfuckers.

He was making you wait.

He promised never to do that. He promised he would either include you in everything he & his brothers do, if it wasn’t too dangerous, or he would always keep you updated on everything, he won’t be leaving you uncertain of what’s happening to them. And Raph was a man of his word.

First, because you always made him aware of how much concern you had for their safety, and secondly – maybe even more importantly – because you were not the type of woman to endlessly wait for your man while drowning in doubts and tears.

Now selfish as it may sound, even your pride was being wounded.

You have only seen Raphael really hurt once, and it was enough for you. A dagger sticking out of his leg, blood dripping all over, even if the only thing left after that accident was another scar on his skin, it was enough for you.

You couldn’t hold it in any longer, and with a furious howl you rose to your feet, almost throwing the scrupulously brewed tea to the nearest wall.

You were expecting Splinter to be angry, but as you turned back to him, all his eyes looked at you with was concern and patience.

„My child”, he said calmly, placing his hand on yours. All this mischief and placidity he treates you with just so were gone. „Be calm. Your brothers will be back, unharmed. I know the feeling all too well, believe me; sitting out here, hidden from the world, as they venture into the night. But they always come back and I trust them to do so, don’t be scared”

„I’m gonna smash his teeth out once he returns. Making me fucking wait like that”

Being more than obvious who you meant, you were again surprised how Splinter didn’t say anything, but gazed at you with a warmth and understanding, nodding his grey head.

Guess it couldn’t hurt to say something else.

„Thanks... Splinter. I... I won’t take it if something happens to them. To Raph.” The rat only nodded with understanding. There wasn’t much else to be said.

Nervously tapping on the guardrail behind the couch, you were silent for a moment.

„Thank you. Sorry”

„My pleasure, my dear girl. Actually...”

He leaned against the couch, wiggling his tail on the ground, as if the words he intended to say escaped him, he was stroking his beard in thought. „... i’m the one who wanted to thank you”

Uhm?

You did suspect where what you just heard might be coming from, but even so,you wanted to hear it from the rat master himself.

„...what for?”

„Child, sit with me. Come”

So you did. And what you heard afterwards wasn’t entirely surprising, but it still blew your mind.

„I would be a fool not to notice the... effect your feelings have had on Raphael. My son... What can I possibly say... You must know how he is. What rages inside him, what fear hunts his mind. I always suspected that a gentle hand of a woman might help him when the time for that comes, but to see it with my own eyes... It’s a bliss any father dreams of, I imagine. You’ve done so much for him already, I hope you realise that... You must, you’re an exceptional girl, that much is clear to me.”

Splinter looked you straight in the eyes.

„I don’t mean to embarass you, don’t worry. I only mean to say... Thank you. I never thought my boys would be allowed that kind of experience... Feelings. I’m so very glad at least one of them found someone like you.”

Oh shit.

You had positively no idea how to answer this – but the silence that fell between you and Splinter and look in your eyes was enough of an answer. You knew he knew, and he knew you knew.

Thinking about a suitable, more elaborate response to give, to pour all your feelings into words – you simply reached out and placed your hand on Splinter’s.

„You’re welcome... old rat. Truly no need to thank me. I love this shelled moron just as much... or even more than you do. No offense”

The pipe in the water slide began pounding from the inside, and distant, muffles voices came to your ears.

Your heart skipped a beat.

You sprung from the couch and ran to the slide as four turtles, triumphantly yelling, came down from it, sending a fountain to the sides. Water splashing under your bare feet and your wet dress dragging behind you as you jumped down, you didn’t care. Pushing Mikey from the way, you threw yourself into Raph’s embrace, as soon as you felt his sweaty, animal smell mixed with the cologne he was using, all your fears vanished.

„Girl!” Raph lifted you with one hand, rushing the other through your uncombed hair. „Hey, i’m back, all good! Like I promised!” I’m so sorry i didn’t text ya, we had our hands busy with those Foot tail-ends, oh, it was unbelievable! Lemme...”

He lifted you from the water and put you on the ground as he shook off water from himself.

„Hey don’t go too hard on him!” Leo suddenly shouted to you from behind, „He wanted to give you a call, I told him to wait till we come back!”Raph glanced at him with grateful look, and smiled to you in an apologetic manner.

„Yeah, that’s our fault for once, we were rushing back as soon as we could!” Donnie backed him up. Mikey jumped behind you.

„He was all tears, I’m telling you. „Guys, guys, stop, I gotta give [y/n] a call, my heart’s torn open until the moment I see her again””

Raph was all tense already wanting to silence him, but then he realised you were silent all this time, staring at him.

„What’s wrong baby?” He stood by your side and hunched over to be closer to your face. His voice was heavenly soothing and intoxicating, as always, every single time.

„I was fucking worried about you all, that’s what’s up. You fucking idiot.”

„Hey. I’m... Sorry. Really. But we’re alright, nothing happened to anyone... Those Feet though!”

„You promised, Raphael” He sighed.

„I know.” He took your hand and gently placed a kiss on your palm. „Not gonna happen again”

You wished you could stay angry at him. But you couldn’t. You let go and burrowed into his embrace, sinking in his smell, his touch, everything he was.

„You’re coming with me now, sai master, you’ll tell me everything but do i need you all for myself... for a moment”

„Yes ma’am”

The lair was in a cheerful squabble again. Leo and Donnie, murmuring something to each other followed to the lab, Mikey was being rushed to the kitchen by Splinter to put a pot for the tea for everyone on fire, music went out loud in the air on as soon as he entered there. The rat smiled at you from the distance, watching you and Raph joyfully clinging to each other, and so did you.

You knew he knew, he knew you knew.

There’s this song that has a tight grip on my soul that I definitely recommend titled ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine, but it lead me to getting a request idea if you’re taking any!

I don’t see a lot of rottmnt!raph x reader’s often so I’d figure I’d request one where reader is staring at the ceiling, daydreaming about something when raph shows up outside the reader’s home while it’s pouring to confess because he was too anxious when he had the opportunity prior that week and they hadn’t talked since. I just really enjoy angst/comfort, haha!

A/N, not important: I'm releasing you from the dungeon/j. On a side note, I am so sorry this took me so long to get to. It's a wonderful idea, and I truly hope I did it some justice(I didn't). I'm so sorry for the wait. Any criticism is welcome, constructive or not. This is supposed to be a gender neutral reader, so if I screwed up somewhere, please tell me.

-Ollie

Tw: My writing, confessions, daydreaming, reminiscing on reader's regret, rainy night, sneaking around while parents are sleeping, feelings of love

Words: 1891

Summary: Raph appears at your window late at night, even the pouring rain unable to keep him from confessing.

The fan buzzed overhead, adding a comforting background noise to my foggy brain. The rain pattered against my window, hitting the roof with the familiar rhythmic drops that made me feel safe. A roll of thunder sounded in the distance, the boom muffled from the walls of my room. I laid on my side, cuddled up in the plethora of blankets piled on top of me, my mind racing despite the calming atmosphere.

The single lamp I kept on my desk was my only source of light, its warm glow made the entire room feel that much more welcoming, a proper hiding place for a lonely mind. Gosh, why didn’t I just tell him. It would’ve been so easy, and I genuinely think he would’ve said yes. He was so caring while he helped me learn how to knit, showing me the proper way to tension the yarn and move the needles. His presence was kind and warm, and I swear I could’ve just died happy right there and then. I wished more than everything I could’ve told him, told him how happy just being near him made me, told him how his smile lit up the room, or told him how I never wanted to see him cry.

But I didn’t. Instead, I just sat there, listening to his gentle words as he corrected the way I held the needles, or how I twisted the yarn. I was a coward. I pull one of my plushies to my chest for comfort, the bear with the red bandana and pirate attire being my victim. I let out a small laugh, nuzzling my face into the soft material of the plushie. Raph had gotten it for me after I had first seen his favorite Jupiter Jim movie, ‘Jupiter Jim Sails The Seven Galaxies’. It was a sweet gesture that made me fall even more in love with the giant snapper mutant. I couldn’t help but feel a pang in my heart from the fact that I could’ve been cuddling Raph instead of a plushie if I had just told him while we were hanging out last week. It hurt me to know since we hadn’t talked since. I couldn’t help but be mad at myself, knowing it was my fault. I knew I should reach out, but my heart hurt too much to do so.

I wanted Raph to be the one holding me, his arms wrapped around me as we watch a movie, or his comforting presence helping me when he is able to convince me to do reps with him. I wanted to go on a date with him to Hueso’s, or to walk around the Hidden City, arm in arm. I wanted to be with him, to be the one he goes to when he’s upset, or wants to talk about his goals in life. I wanted to be there for him in every way I could, more so than I already was. I wanted to kiss him, to hold him, to love him. I just wanted him to love me too. I didn’t want to mess up if I saw him again, to tell him too early, or not at the right time.

I squeeze the pirate teddy tighter, my lips gently kissing its bandana covered head, pretending it was Raph. Oh how I wished it was. I knew it was stupid, being almost 18 and still pretending my stuffed animals were my crush, pouting over being too scared to face my crush and not reaching out for a week. I knew if anyone saw me right now, I’d never live it down. Not that I couldn’t lie my way out of it though. It was easy enough to just say I really liked this teddy bear. Even if it was mostly because Raph gave it to me.

Tap

I look up towards my window through my dimly lit room, my eyebrows furrowing slightly. That was too loud of a sound to be a raindrop. Was it hailing? I shifted on my bed, fishing around for my phone on my bedside table. I sit up, my legs folded under me as I rest on my knees. I open my phone, pulling up the weather app. Scanning through the temperature and the humidity levels, I saw no mention of a prediction or confirmation of hail. Only the current rain and thunder were being spoken of.

Tap tap tap

My head turns towards the window as I slide off my bed, slowly inching towards. A couple more taps sound from the window, too precise to be anything but a person. I pull back my curtain slightly, my eyes scanning for whoever was causing the tapping. I prayed it wasn’t some murderer, trying to confirm my presence so they could jump out and kill me.

My eyes widen as a soaked Raph greets me, balancing on the small ledge as he waves. I make quick work of unlocking my window and pushing it open, waving Raph inside. The large turtle mutant fumbles in, trying his best not to scratch the window or the walls with his spiky shell. A small puddle starts to gather at his feet from the water dipping off of him, Raph lifting up a foot like he was surprised. Raph winces apologetically, his hands wiping at his wet shorts to try and dry them off. I shut the window once Raph was inside, keeping the rain from coming into my room anymore than it already had.

“I’ll go get you a towel.” I say quickly, rushing to the bathroom down the hall while Raph stood in my room, trying his best not to get water everywhere. I rustle through the bathroom cabinet, pulling out two towels, one for the floor and one for Raph. I make it back to the room, handing a large beach towel to Raph while I soak up the puddle that was forming under him with the other.

“Sorry ‘bout the water.” Raph mumbles apologetically, carefully drying himself off as to not rip the towel on his spikes. I shake my head, smiling as I finish drying off the puddle before taking the wet towel back to the bathroom. When I return, I’m holding an extra pair of Raph’s signature red shorts, a pair he’s forgotten from previous visits.

“I meant to bring these over earlier after you left them last time you came over to go swimming in the pool up top. Good thing I forgot.” I say with a small grin, handing the spare clothes to Raph. “Go change into the dry shorts in the bathroom. But try to be quiet, my parents are asleep.” I put my finger over my lips as I tell him to be quiet, and Raph nods, keeping his voice low as he thanks me.

I sit on my bed again, swinging my legs back and forth while waiting for Raph to return. The large turtle makes his way back to my room, now dry and without the towel or his wet shorts. He joins me on my bed, sitting carefully so his shell wouldn’t get caught on the mattress. We both sit in awkward silence for a moment, neither of us sure what to do or say.

Raph ends up breaking the silence first, his voice gentle as he rubs the back of his neck. “Sorry for not reaching out at all recently.” Raph looked genuinely apologetic, as if he had committed some cardinal sin for not texting me during the week, as if I hadn’t done the same thing.

I shake my head, sending Raph a crooked smile. “Nah, it’s all good. I didn’t exactly try either.”

Raph lets out a small huff, laughing softly. “Well, I’m still sorry. So there.” Raph grins, seemingly pleased with himself for apologizing. He pulls me into a side hug, ruffling my hair. “You make any progress on the scar you was makin’?”

I push his hand off my hair, rolling my eyes. “Yeah, it looks like a tangled mess though.” The scarf in question was currently hidden under my bed, too ugly to be seen. Once I was better though, I’d make Raph something. I just needed to practice a bit.

Raph lets out another laugh, his eyes shining brightly. “Oh please, it can’t be that bed. You were doing fine last I saw.”

I shake my head, a bright smile on my face. “You have way too much faith in me, my friend.” I pretend calling him ‘my friend’ didn’t hurt the way it did, pretending it didn't make my heart squeeze painfully. I pretended not to notice the way Raph’s smile faltered at the wording either, neither of us seeming to be able to stand being ‘just friends’.

I pat my thighs awkwardly, the silence in the room settling like a thick blanket. I clear my throat, moving past the previous statement. “So, what has you here at 2:37 am? I can’t believe Splinter let you out this late.”

Raph seems to sink a little, seeming guilty. My eyes widen as I realize what he did, a snort escaping me. “Raph, you didn’t. I can’t believe you snuck out!”

Raph huffs a bit, a small blush on his cheeks as he tries to defend himself. “It’s not like I’m in any danger! We used to leave the lair all the time this late. I just… Needed to see you.” He admits, fiddling with his fingers while avoiding eye contact.

I look at Raph curiously, my heart beating faster at his words. “What did you need to see me for, Raph?” I ask, trying to stay calm. My brain started racing, millions of reasons coming to my head.

Raph clears his throat, finally making eye contact with me again. He takes my hands in his, trying his best to stop the twitching in his fingers. I look into his eyes, my heart beating fast as my ears rang slightly. Was this it?

“I wanted to thank you, first of all. I really appreciate you being there for me and my brothers. It’s been… Really nice knowing you were there for me, and that I had someone to turn to. I would also like to apologize again, for not reaching out. I meant to tell you something last week, but chickened out at the last moment. I’m sorry. So, I decided, I need to tell you now.” Raph smiles gently, squeezing my hands lightly. “I like you, (Y/n). More than a friend. I know I’m a giant snapping turtle mutant, but please… Give me a chance. I promise I’ll make it worth your while.”

I look at Raph with a dopey smile, my heart beating a mile a minute as my brain tries to catch up. I dumbly nod, all the words I wanted to say stuck in my throat. Raph beams at this, seeminging happy with my non-verbal answer. Raph pulls me into a tight hug, nuzzling his snout into the top of my head. I let out a bubbling laugh, hugging him back while I feel like I’m on cloud nine. Everything was perfect in this moment, and I was convinced nothing could bring me down from this high.

We both froze when we heard the door to my parent’s room click open.

I literally couldn't do anything until I typed this stuff out because I didn't wanna forget the idea hngjfkdkeldjskbfja

"Pretty Boy"

Scenario: Leo reacting to his lover gently cupping his cheek and calling him "pretty boy" after a rough day.

⚠ There is some angst in this⚠

☾ As confident as this boy may appear, he genuinely can't believe that you wanted to be with him of all people. He isn't super smart like Donnie, he's not big and strong like Raph, or emotionally mature like Mikey. Sure, he makes jokes about how it's obvious why he'd be your favorite, but he seriously can't figure out why you chose him. Not that he would ever actually tell you any of this of course.

☾ Yet after a particularly rough day, it just sorta came out. Specifically the evening that him and his brothers came back home from the Maze of Death and you had heard of the story about how the four of them almost died because Leo wanted a picture on the Wall of Champions.

☾ You weren't necessarily upset with Leo, but you did decide to confront him about him. He played the situation off as a joke at first, but after after asking him what the big deal was about the photo, he snapped.

☾ "It's not just about some stupid picture! It's about the fact that I'm useless to my family and especially my brothers! Yeah, I get that I'm annoying or whatever, but it's like I'm just so expendable! Donnie's the brainy one, Raph's the smash-y guy, and Mikey's the one who's good with feelings and stuff. I'm nothing without them, and I don't bring anything to the table. I just-" A quiet hiccup escaped from Leo's lips as hot tears streamed down his face. "I just wish I was worth something."

☾ After waiting patiently for Leo to finish with his rant, you slowly stepped forward to move closer to him and place a hand on the side of his face. One of your fingers caressed the fabric of his mask and you looked up at Leo, as if silently asking permission to take off his mask.

☾ Leo seemed to notice what you were doing and reached his hands behind his head to untie his mask, sliding it off of his face. Your hand gently cupped his cheek and your thumb slowly traced along the red crescent on the side of his face.

☾ "Leo, I can assure you no one thinks that way of you. You're far from useless to anybody, but I'm also not trying to criticize you for feeling the way you do. It's okay to feel that way, but I hope you know that you're extremely important to all of us. You're always there for the people you care about and always try your best to cheer them up even in their darkest moments. You always do whatever you can to protect the people close to you and you're such an amazing strategist. I know it's easy to go down into a negative spiral like that, but you're worth so much to all of us. Especially me." You place your other hand on his other cheek, looking up at the red eared slider with a soft smile. "And I'm so happy that you're here, pretty boy."

☾ Leo had to take a few moments to process what you had just said. Mainly because of the extreme lack of validation he's recieved in his life, but also because someone as sweet as you was saying such kind things to him. He didn't feel as though he deserved it, and he definitely doesn't believe that he deserves you, but shortly after your words finally sink in, the warmest and dorkiest smile graced the turtle's face. Even though tears were still falling down his face, he placed one of his hands over yours and his eyes closed as he leaned into your palm.

☾ Leo still doesn't understand why exactly you put up with him or treat him so kindly, but whatever the reason, he was just happy to know that he meant something to at least someone.

Casey Jones Fucking Dies: Chapter 6

whoo yeah, completed chapter six. sorry it took so long dudes. i kept putting it off. anyways here's like, 2,707 words of raph going through it

"Raph just sit still!" Donnie ordered. It had been about a day since Raph had gotten hit with a laser, right in the middle of his plastron. So, Donnie was sitting on the couch, checking his brother's plastron for any injuries. At least he was trying to, if Raph weren't so uncooperative.

"No! Quit touching me!" Raph countered, slapping Donnie's hand away. "I'm fine Don."

"You know what, fine. If you're going to keep swatting me away, then you can survive getting hit with a laser." Donnie caved. The tallest turtle packed up his medical supplies and left for his lab.

But before he could make it to said lab, Leo came out the dojo, a determined look on his face. "Gear up guys, we're going on a mission."

"Awwww, but Super Robo Mecha Force Five Team Fiiiiive." Mikey whined pulling himself away from his spot right in front of the TV.

"Sorry Mikey, but Super Robo Mecha Force will have to wait." Leo said, his strict tone of voice not wavering.

Donnie emerged from his lab after putting his med kit back, with his bo staff strapped to his back. Mikey jumped up off the floor and walked over to the entrance where Leo was standing. Raph also hopped up and walked over to the exit of the lair (which doubled as the entrance) only to be met with his brother's hand blocking him.

"Oh no. No way you're coming." Leo ordered. "Not with you hurt."

"What!? Whaddya mean hurt!? I'm fine!" raph yelled, raising his arms to the level of his head in protest. Leo responded with a cold glare.

"You're staying here. Master Splinter said so." Leo demanded.

"But you can't just-"

"Do you want to be off the team permanently Raph!?" Leo threatened. Raph took a step back, thinking about the threat, but still keeping retaining his scowl. And just like that, Leo turned about face and left for the Shellraiser, followed shortly by Donnie. Before leaving, Mikey turned back to Raph with a look of pity on his face. But before Raph could say anything, Mikey was already in the Shellraiser.

Raph stood in the entrance to the lair as he watched the Shellraiser speed off. He let out a low growl, before turning and stomping over to his punching dummy. He landed a blow. And another. And another. This repeated for a while until Raph's knuckles grew bloody. He stopped, bringing his hands in front of his chest, palms facing down.

He decided he should change out the bandages on his hands before his brothers get back, he didn't want to hear another lecture from Leo. He started walking towards his room, staring down at his bloody knuckles.

"Hello, my son." a familiar voice greeted. Raph jumped back, hiding his hands behind his shell and snapping his head upwards.

"Uh- Hello Sensei!" Raph hastily saluted. He hoped the nervous face that was shifted to try and display a smile wouldn't rat him out.

"Is there anything bothering you, Raphael?" Splinter inquired, stroking his beard.

"Uh, no Sensei. All good here." Raph lied. He presented a toothy smile, hoping it would appear sincere to his father.

"Hm, what do you have?" Splinter asked, leaning forward to peer over Raph's shoulder. Raph moved in response to try and hide his bloody hands from his father.

"Uh- Uh, nothing?" Raph replied. His tone of voice received a look of suspicion from his father, making Raph flash a fake smile in an attempt to seem more sincere.

"Very well, you may go." the rat dismissed. Raph began to take his leave, walking once more towards his room. Once he was past his father, he moved his hands from behind his shell to in front of him, hoping that his father didn't catch a glimpse of his bloody hands.

"Would you like me to patch up your hands, or were you planning on doing so yourself?"

_______________________

Raph sat on the floor of the dojo, holding out his hand for his father to bandage. Splinter's eyes were focused on Raph's right hand. He carefully wrapped around the knuckles, once, twice, a third time.

"What is upsetting you my son?" Splinter asked, breaking the silence. The rat looked up from his son's hand, attempting to make eye contact.

"Nothing Sensei." Raph muttered. He shifted his eyes to the side, attempting to avoid eye contact.

"Hmm, are you sure? It is not often that you are so aggressive with your punching bag." Splinter stated, keeping a calm tone. He was wrong. Or at least, not entirely right. Raph was this rough with the punching bag all the time. He supposed Splinter meant that he wasn't usually this rough with himself.

"I-I guess..." Raph trailed off. Should he tell him? Should he tell him? How would he react. His father's always telling him not to let his anger take control. But that's exactly what happened that night. "I guess Leo's just been getting on my nerves." Raph bluffed. His father hummed in reply.

"I just- It's-" Raph let out a heavy sigh, "Yesterday, I got hit while fighting the Kraang. Leo was all concerned, but when I told him I was fine, he got all mad like I was the bad guy!" Raph yelled.

"My son, you must understand that neither you, nor Leonardo is the villain." Splinter advised. The rat gently tied the bandages on his son's right hand and exchanged it for the right.

"Yeah, I know... I just don't get why he had to keep me from going on today's mission. It's not fair!" Raph complained. With Slash- Spike, mutated, Raph was alone, with no one who truly understood him.

"Hmm, yes. I did recommend that you stay here." Splinter stated.

"What!? Why?" Raph shrieked. He heard Leo say that Master Splinter didn't want him going on the mission, but he assumed that was just something Leo said to get him to listen.

"I did not want you getting hurt." His father admitted.

"But-"

"And neither did Leonardo. He is the leader of the team. He is under much pressure. He wants to do what he thinks is right. To him, that means preventing you from going on missions." The rat clarified.

"Hai Sensei." Raph sighed. By now, Splinter was done bandages Raph's knuckles.

After saying goodbye, Raphael finally made his way to his room. Once in his room, he collapsed onto his bed, face first. The turtle rolled over, now lying on his shell. Raph lifted his hand up and stared at his knuckles. The turtle slowly brought his hand back down to the side of his shell. His bed felt nice and fairly warm, a small nap while waiting for his brothers to get back wouldn't hurt. His eyes began to droop down, and before long, he fell into a deep, comforting sleep.

Now asleep, Raph's mind drifted between his thoughts. It drifted to the coffee he drank this morning, it drifted to his brothers, it drifted to Super Robo Mecha Force, and eventually it drifted back to the death of Casey Jones, which at this point had a tendency to consume Raph's thoughts.

The next thing he knew, there was a whisper. It sounded far away, but even with the distance, the voice sounded familiar. Though, the turtle couldn't quite make out what the voice was saying. It started as a mumble. Then grew slightly louder. And a bit more louder. Until eventually, it became intelligible. "Get up. Wake up." A moment or two passed. "Wake UP!" the voice commanded. And with that, Raph's eyes shot open.

His vision was fuzzy but wherever he was, it consisted mainly of different shades of grey. Man, how long was he out? He stood up, and as his eyes began to focus, he realized where he was. Oh. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no oh no. No no no no no no no, not here! He easily recognized where he was; the alley from the night of Casey Jones's death. He looked around frantically, trying to find out how the hell he had gotten here.

Everything felt... fuzzy? It felt weird, not quite like a dream, but definitely not reality. The air around Raph felt thick, like molasses. But oddly enough, when he tried to move, he did so with ease. He determined he was simply in a lucid dream. What other explanation was there?

"What's the matter?" Raph heard a voice; it was the one he had heard whispering in his mind just a few moments ago. It sounded closer than last time. The turtle reached for his sai only to find they weren't there. He craned his neck to the side to look down to where his sai should have been.

"Looking for your salad tongs?" the voice taunted. Raph snapped his head back up and started frantically searching for whomever was talking to him. It was weird, there was something familiar about the voice that Raph couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Salad tongs!?" Raph echoed, a hint of anger in his voice. But there was no reply. Raph tried calling out to the voice again only to feel something he couldn't see cover his mouth.

"Boo!" the voice whispered in his ear. Raph whipped around only to find nothing there. Whoever's voice he was hearing, they were fast. Just as that thought passed Raph's mind, a figure became visible.

Oh no...

The apparition was that of Casey Jones's...

Now that Raph's thoughts weren't clouded with rage like the night they first met, he took a moment to look over the boy. He menacingly stood there, his skull mask still covering his face. The specter's eyes were white, all white. No irises, no pupils, no blood vessels. His hood was down, revealing his Irish-black hair. It appeared that he didn't have his weapons, or was even wearing a holster. He was wearing three layers? Who does that? His clothes had spray paint stains here and there. Before Raph could make any further observations, the spirit spoke.

"What's the matter, surprised to see me?" Casey asked in a tone that sent shivers up Raph's spine. The man chuckled a bit before beginning to approach Raph. The turtle's voice was trapped in his own throat. He truly couldn't say anything, no matter how much he mentally yelled at himself to.

"What? Did ya really think you'd killed me?" the ghost teased. He stopped just in front of Raph, whose nervous system felt like it was burning.

"I- You- No..." Raph muttered. Why was he back here? How was Casey back here? How was he back here? His brain was scrambled; he couldn't piece together a single thought, let alone a sentence.

"Hm?" the human(?) responded, "What was that?"

"You... You're- You're not supposed to be here." Raph forced out.

"Don't be so sure." the apparition mocked. A cold gust of wind hit Raph's shoulder, sending a shiver through Raph's right arm. The feel of the moment greatly changed. The spirit seemed more serious. Deadly serious.

"You. You left me. To die." Casey bitterly spoke. "Why? What did I do to deserve death? And at your hand."

Raph felt his guilt consume him. It felt like a lump in his throat, the kind you get just before crying. The turtle craned his neck down, to stare at his feet in an attempt to avoid eye contact. He felt his remorse eat away at him. "I- I'm-" Raph stuttered. "I'm sorry..." he choked out.

A moment passed. "No." the specter mumbled. "No, you don't get closure." sharply uttered. Raph craned his neck up to face the ghost. They locked eyes. (At least, Raph thinks they did. It was hard to tell considering Casey's eyes were white.) Casey's dead eyes stared down at Raph, who was paralyzed in place. The ghost swiftly raised his fist in preparation for a beatdown.

"WAKE UP DUDE!"

Raph shot awake, now sitting up. He quickly looked around, only to find that he was once again in his room. He felt tears streaming down his face. When did he start crying? He turned to his left to see who had woken him up from his nightmare. It was Mikey, with a severely concerned look on his face. He was sitting on the edge of Raph's bed, next to the red-masked turtle's legs.

"Dude, are you okay? I came in here to check on you and you were crying in your sleep!" Mikey explained. His hands were on Raph's shoulders, grip getting tighter by the moment. Raph lifted his hand to his face and wiped away the tears.

"I'm fine, Mikey." Raph insisted. He pushed his younger brother's hands away. Raph waited for Mikey to leave. And waited a bit longer. He and his younger brother kept eye contact as several moments passed.

"...No." the younger turtle finally responded. Raph flinched back in shock at Mikey's reply.

"What do you mean no?" Raph questioned, a hint of anger seeping into his voice.

"No, you aren't fine! You've been acting weird for months! Literally!" Mikey insisted. He put his hands on his older brother's shoulders. Raph opened his mouth, about to argue with Mikey, when he cut him off.

"And before you say anything about 'oh I'm fine,' no, you aren't! The time you were staring off into the sewers, the time you 'tripped' after getting out of the shower and acted super weird, the time you screamed for no reason while on our way back from a mission. And Leo told me about the time in the dojo."

Raph was shocked that Mikey of all turtles had picked up on his troubles. Then again, Mikey was by far the most in tune with emotions in comparison to the rest of his brothers. "So what's with you dude!? Is- Is it me...?" Mikey trailed off, retracting his hands from his brother's shoulders. His brow furrowed behind his orange mask, as he squinted his eyes and his mouth twisted into a frown.

"Did I do something wrong?" the orange-masked turtle whispered sorrowfully. What? No. No. No! Raph thought to himself. This wasn't Mikey's fault, it was Raph's. Why would Mikey blame himself. Raph was snapped out of his thoughts by a small sniffling noise coming from his younger brother. His head snapped up to look at Mikey.

He was crying.

Without a moment of hesitation, Raph wrapped his arms around his little brother, trapping his in a warm embrace. Mikey waited a second, shocked that his older brother was hugging him. But after a second or two, he hugged him back. And so they sat there, for only a few minutes, encased in each other's arms. Eventually they pulled away, warm smiles on each of their faces.

"So wait. If it's not me bumming you out what is it?" Mikey asked, breaking the silence. Raph sharply inhaled before letting out a deep sigh. He really didn't know if he could trust Mikey with this. Would he tell the others? Would he understand? He was the most in tune with emotions and junk, so maybe? But would he tell the others? Mikey had a habit of ratting his brothers out when any of them told him a secret.

Clearly having sensed his brother's inner turmoil, Mikey placed his hand on Raph's left shoulder. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to bro." Mikey reassured.

"...Thanks Mikey." Raph responded, waiting a moment before saying anything. Raph rarely showed his softer side. Or really any side of him that wasn't angry. But there were moments like these during which he let his heart open, for comforting his brothers and such (most often Mikey).

"Okay, well, I'm gonna go watch Super Robot Mecha Force. Later dude!" The orange turtle stated, bouncing up and out the door. His sudden exit had left Raph slightly confused, but not so confused that it consumed his thoughts. The red-masked turtle lied back down in his bed. He let his eyes flutter shut as he drifted back off to sleep.

Things would be alright. This would be alright. Yeah. Everything would be fine as long as Raph had his brothers.

Hello ! :) I know this is a bit lengthy so feel free to skip if the next paragraph of this if you'd like lol. I'm requesting a 2016/2014 donnie x Fem!Reader love confession. I think most of us assume that donnie boy is far too shy to confess at least verbally so I'd like to think he does it in a sweet note.

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR9c25qX/

I am not sure if you can click on that at all but the tiktok is a girl who made her bf a book over a year filled with journal entries about how she felt and filled with movie tickets, rose petals from him etc. and I thought it was really sweet and reminded me of him <3

I hope you meant this as, Donnie makes y/n something cause that's how I wrote it. If not I'm so sorry

Warnings: mentions of blood, crushes and confessions, just a lot of fluff, spelling mistakes, swearing,

Summary: Donnie finally finds the courage to confess his feelings....through a scrapbook

It was done.

Finally, after six long months he had finished the scrapbook.

And right in time for Christmas, how wonderful is that. The beautiful layers of snow covering the roads and trees, the constant little snowflakes flying around the air.

The smell of hot cocoa and candy canes wafting through the air no matter where you are in the city.

And now the great and unnerving pain and anxiety of possibly being rejected by the most beautiful and amazing thing to ever walk into his life. Literally.

💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️

It had happened almost a year ago now, he and his brothers were patrolling the city, as always, when a group of women had been attacked by some drunk dickheads.

Donnie and Raph had been sent down the back end of the alley in case more guys showed up as back up and so the ones already there couldn't run.

Donnie jumped down from the building first, looking at his hologram projector on his wrist, making a mental note of any and all paths the drunks could use to escape.

He was so consumed by his watch, he didn't notice Raph wasn't at his side.

"Don, wait!" Raph whisper yelled from way behind him.

That's strange why did he stop following-

One lady ran right around a dunpster and smacked right into Donnie's chest.

"Oh god!" He froze, arms awkwardly stretched out. Even thought it was past 1 in the morning, the moon was bright and it was very clear he was not human.

Even thought some humans had been alright with what they were, they knew they still had to be careful.

The woman was too busy too notice, clutching her nose in gloved hands, eyes screwed shut.

"Don! Donnie!" Raph whispered, throwing a small rock at the back of his head. Donnie glanced over his shoulder, seeing Raph had jumped up onto the buildings fire escape. "Get your ass out of there!"

"Uh-" Donnie glanced back at you, for some reason he couldn't move his legs.

"What the hell is your prob-" You yelled, opening your eyes, gasping sharply.

Great, now he's really in deep shi-

"What are you?" Your eyes were wide, a small trickle of blood dripping from your red nose, it stained your gloves, but that was the last thing on your mind.

"Uh, well, we're here to help you and your friends from those drunk guys." He awkwardly put his hands down, rubbing them on his pants.

"I'm sorry, 'we'?" You gasp, hearing a thump from behind you. Leo and Mikey jumped down the alley, promptly stopping upon seeing you standing there.

"There's more of you?" You mumble more to yourself. Your chest rising and falling rapidly.

"Don't worry, Ma'am, we're here to help. We've already taken care of the men who attacked you, is your nose okay?" Leo politely spoke, taking a step forward, putting his katanas on his shell. Subtlety putting himself between you and Mikey, just incase.

"Um, I think so," You tap the back of your glove to your nose, noticing how no new blood appeared.

"Alright, your friends are waiting in the other alley," He gestured behind him, coming to stand next to Donnie. "If you don't require immediate medical attention,"

"No, I just hit my nose on his....chest?" You waved a hand to Donnie, to which Mikey and Leo snap their heads toward to him, eyebrow ridge raised. "But it's not broken, um, thank you for helping us,"

"It's what we do," Mikey smiled, coming up to you, holding out a hand. "I'm Mikey, and I don't believe I got your name," Leo smacked the back of his head, he winced but kept his hand out.

"Y/n," To everyone's surprise you shook it, secretly taking in his features.

"Alright, we should head out, we've called the police for those drunks in the other alley," Leo grabbed Mikeys shell and pulled him away, Raph -who was surprisingly still hidden- jumped up and lifted himself to the roof of the building.

Donnie still hadn't moved, there was something about you that made his brain short circuit. Your eyes were wide and beautiful in the moonlight.

"I'm sorry about your nose," He blurted out, finally finding his voice. "And for possibly frightening you,"

"It's alright, no harm really done," You laugh, showing a beautiful smile and small dimples. "What's your name?"

"Donnie,"

💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️

Still feeling guilty about your nose, Donnie insisted on walking you home. You agreed and talked the whole time, you had a tendency, he realized, to ramble.

You gave him your number as he was leaving and texted for 3 months straight after that. It was so easy to talk to you and you were so lively and fun to be around.

You started coming over more, winning over his family and quickly becoming a close friend. You kept beating Mikeys video game high scores, showed Raph new knitting patterns and even helped Leo revive one of his almost dead plants.

When he realized he saw you as more than a friend he knew he had to do something big to tell you. He started journaling his feelings, writing how he felt when you challenged him about his favorite movies and made him see things in different lights. How happy he was when he saw you ordering food and knowing his order off the top of your head. How his knees went weak when you sat next to him during dinner and movie nights.

On your birthday he surprised you with tickets to your favorite musical, and you shocked him even more by saying you wouldn't go without him. So in he snuck, ducked into the farthest and darkest corner of the theater, secretly holding your hand the whole time.

He started compiling everything he could find: taking his journal entries, stalking your Facebook for pictures of you, and finding colorful stickers to put everywhere.

Finally, a week before Christmas it was done, he sighed, rubbing his face. He'd been up all night finishing it.

Shutting off the main lights, he took off his glasses and fell face first into bed, and for the first time in a long time, fell asleep almost instantly.

He woke up several hours later to Leo gently tapping his shell.

"Donnie? Donnie, you're still living right? Or has your coffee addiction finally stopped your heart?"

Donnie rolled onto his side, lazily pushing away Leo's hand. "I'm up, I'm up," He groaned, stretching out his long limbs. "What time is it?"

"Noon, you missed morning training," Leo, crossed his arms, taking a step back from the bed and sitting down in his computer chair.

Shit.

"Sorry, I didn't go to bed until super late last night," He rubbed his face, surprised to find he was still wearing his mask. He really must've been tired.

"What were you up doing this time?" Leo rolled his eyes, crossing his legs and leaning back in the chair.

"I finished that scrapbook for Y/n," Leo had been the first one Donnie told of his crush, knowing he could actually keep a secret. Leo was the one to suggest journaling his feelings.

"Really? Where is it?"

"It's right-" Donnie extended his hand, but stopped, the scrapbook wasn't there. "It was right there, what-" He stood, walking over to the desk, pushing the loose paper and pencils out of the way.

"It was right here!" Panic started to rise, he didn't remember putting it away.

"Did you put it away?" Leo asked.

"No, I left it right here. I don't understand, where did it go?!"

"What's going on?" Mikey leaned against the doorway, chewing on a sugar cookie.

"Donnie misplaced the gift he made for Y/n," Leo answered, rolling the chair out of the way so Donnie could duck down and search under the desk.

"You mean the scrapbook?"

Donnie hit his head on the desk from lifting it so fast. He groaned, rubbing the back of his head.

"How do you know about it, I only told Leo,"

"I went to check on you last night and saw it on the desk, and I figured I'd help," He shrugged, taking another bite of the cookie.

"Help, how help? What kind of help?" Donnie stood, walking toward him.

"Oh, Mikey," Leo groaned, running a hand down his face. "Please tell me you didn't,"

"Well I know how you can get sometimes, Don, so I sent it to Y/n, incase you got cold feet-"

Mikey didn't get to finish as Donnie was out of the room, hastily grabbing his glasses and rushing through the lair.

"Donnie! Wait, it's the middle of the day!" Leo called after him, but he didn't stop.

He rushed through the tunnels, ignoring the sleep still clinging to his arms and legs. He nearly tripped several times but he couldn't stop, his feet propelled forward.

He wouldn't chicken out. He was going to give it to you tonight, and hopefully not ruin this year's Christmas.

He finally saw the manhole cover and ladder, he feet slowing, chest heaving as he walked closer. When he got within 20 feet of the ladder, the manhole cover moved, and your form came down.

"Y/n." Donnie mentally smacked himself, it was clear why you were here.

You jumped, not expecting him to be right there. Your eyes and nose were red, and not just from the cold: you were crying.

"Hi," You peeped, clutching the scrapbook to your side.

"I can explain," He took a step for forward, sorting through the words to tell you. "I....I....uh, you-"

"Did you mean it?" You interrupt, voice thick, eyes glossy: it broke his heart. "Did you mean all the stuff you wrote in this?"

"Yeah, I did." He swallowed, his throat now very dry.

"And you still feel these things?" You took the scrapbook out, looking down at it in your hands.

"Yes, I do," He inhaled sharply, praying the tears forming in his eyes wouldn't fall. "I'm sorry if I misread-"

"You didn't," You quickly interrupt, a tear falling down your face. "You didn't misread anything...I love you too,"

You rushed forward, opening your arms wide. He exhaled heavily, crouching down and lifting you into his arms. You pressed the side of your face against his, closing your eyes.

One of his arms wrapped around your waist, lifting you off the ground, the other tangling in your hair, afraid if you moved you'd disappear.

"You really love me?" He whispers, against your wet cheek.

"I do," You smiled, pressing a kiss to his jaw. "I love you,"

"I love you too,"

💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️

News… And Then Even More News

So... a lot happened when I was gone.

First, the relaunch. I love that they're getting a lot of fresh faces on the book. I'm not familiar with a lot of their work (Besides Chiang, I love Paper Girls), but I heard a lot of good shit about Aaron, and I'm loving what I see Infront of my eyeballs with the artists. I love the direction that Sophie took, and I'm very excited for this new direction.

Although, there is one big thing I'm worried about. Jennika. I know that the Alpha one shot is gonna be about her, but it still worries me a bit. She is the fifth turtle, man. Like she should be up there you know? I pray she isn't written off the main book.

Also, personally I'm pretty indifferent on resetting to #1. It can be seen as a pretty desperate move, but also slapping a #1 on a book fucking works. Hopefully this gets more people talking about the book at least. Hopefully this lasts another 150 issues.

Fuck. Yes.

We knew that this was happening for a bit, but I still wanted to show off how coooool this is. Also, apparently it's on ongoing and not a mini series. Again, Fuck. Yeah. I really love street level TMNT stuff, and this seems to be the ultimate version of that. It's also written by Juni-Ba, who did some incredible work for the series already so I already know this is gonna be fire.

I got some hypotheses on who the hell Nightwatcher is. Obviously, the original is Raph, and it still might be. It also might be Jennika, since they are very clearly turtle shaped and with the seemingly lack of appearance in the main title. It also could be Metalhead? And like he got a new smaller body and turned into a vigilante for some reason. It could also be future Raph from the 2023 annual. The Nightwatchers' left arm doesn't match his right, maybe implying that it's completely robotic thus replacing his lack of arm? Idk. I'm excited none the less.

SANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCO

Mateus Santolouco is back on art. That's it. That's all I need. I'm hype.

On top of that it's gonna be written by Erik Burnham, and the story seems super interesting too lore wise. Sorry I don't have much to say other than SANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTOLOUCOSANTO-

Also some cool side characters getting more screen time.

Holy shit. OMG.

I need to fucking calm down, Jesus. Anyway. Tom and Sophie are returning with a new ongoing. Very very little is known about this but I assume it's gotta do with Hob and Mutant Island, along with the general Mutant issue now that the wall is broken. I can't wait man. I also assume the second half of Alpha is gonna directly tie into this ongoing. Also, Maligna? Or something. Fuck, maybe that's Linsey...

Poor bastard.

That's all the news for the main continuity, I'll briefly go over some other stuff. Saturday Morning Adventures is still going strong WITH TURTLES FOREVER 2 AND USAGI CROSSOVER????!!!!???!?!?!

Also anthology series. I bet that's gonna be really fun.

Cya.

🌷April tmnt all 4 1 challenge🌹

As always, this was hosted by the lovelies: @thelaundrybitch @post-apocalyptic-daydream @leosgirl82 @turtle-babe83

Prompt: “What are you doing in my bed?”

2007 turtle of choice x reader

reader is implied as female

Sorry this took so long, been busy with work and other stuff. If theres any mistakes dont mind them please. Hope you all enjoy this~

Listened to this for inspiration 🌸

CHOOSE YOUR TURTLE TO CONTINUE

🐢💙🐢💜🐢❤🐢🧡🐢

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't jealous of what April and Casey had. A relationship, one that bloomed from friendship into something more. He wanted that, too. Because of him being a mutant turtle, he figured he was destined to be alone forever and live in the shadows like the ninja he was. Besides, Y/N didn't feel the same towards him at his advances; that was evident enough. Anytime he tried to get close to her, she looked like she was uncomfortable. He quit trying after that. But that didn't stop his feelings for her, and each longing was like a knife in his chest.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

You didn't mean to fall for him. You were crushing real hard on the hero in the half shell. His eyes always made your heart skip a beat whether it him looking at you or the other way around. There was just something about him that made you always think about him since you two became friends. (He hid in the shadows outside your window, not wanting to scare you with his appearance until you wanted to see him after some time.)

You wanted to tell him how you actually felt. You noticed how he was staring at you and wanting to spend more time with you. There was a time when he tried to kiss you but you got so flustered he thought you didn't want him to do that. You did want to kiss him, but .... Love was just confusing. You entered the lair to see everyone but the turtle you wanted to see.

"Hey, where's (Leo/Raph/Donnie/Mikey)?"

"He went out. He probably wont be back until really late."

"Oh..."

You decided to wait in his room. Surely, his brothers or Splinter will tell him that you were looking for him. Opening his door you stepped into his room. You've been inside a time or two, but you still felt like you were invading his space.

You sat on his bed and wondered what you should do. It was going to be a while yet before he came back. You pulled out your phone and started browsing through your messages. You thought of texting him but then figured that probably would not be the best idea. If he was spying on the Foot, Karai, or any of the other dangerous criminals in New York, he had to be vigilant.

You instead pulled out your mp3 player and turned on some music. You were lost in your thoughts until your eyes felt heavy. It was way past midnight. You fought sleep as long as you could until your eyes closed and you drifted to sleep.

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

It was still dark out when he came back in. Everyone was already in bed. He yawned and stretched his stiff muscles, ready to hit the sack. He opened the door to his room... and saw Y/N laying on his bed. He was so surprised he asked without thinking,"What are you doing in my bed?"

You woke up to his voice (your mp3 player battery died and needed to be charged). You quickly sat up straight, your heart pounding in your chest. "I, I uhm..." you tried to speak. "I wanted to see you..." Maybe this could've waited till tomorrow....?

He sighed then apologized. "Sorry for waking you, its just... i wasnt expecting you... to be here..." If turtles could blush, he would be right now.

"Look... I'm sorry if it seems like I'm.. avoiding you....I'm not. I just needed to sort things out."

"No, it's my fault, I shouldn't have pushed you into it. I know now..." He had asked Casey about some relationship advice, even told him about his crush on you. He hoped everything would go right, but... maybe you just wanted to be friends, he had figured. "If you wanna stay just friends, I'm okay with that..."

You saw the look on his face, like he was trying to hide behind a smile. You then stood up and approached him. It was now or never; you was going to tell him how you really felt about him while you had the nerve. "You didn't do anything wrong. It was me. It was just so... sudden, you know? We'll always be friends, never doubt that."

You gave a pause. "But I've been having these warm, fuzzy feelings whenever you come around. And... I've been wanting to tell you that... I like you... a lot. I want to go out with you, even if we just stay here in the sewers or whatever." You gingerly took his hand, gripping it with tenderness. "I wasn't ready then, but I'm ready to give us a chance. We won't know if it'll work out if we don't try."

Was this really happening? Did you just agree to go out with him? He wasn't dreaming this, right? His mind had questions bouncing around. But they stopped as soon as he gripped your hand, holding it in his.

"Do you really mean it?" His eyes sparkled with hope.

You smiled back at him, blushing and softly giggled. "Yes, I mean it."

He smiled and gave a sweet kiss on your blushed cheek. He touched your forehead with his. You've made him the happiest turtle in the world. "If it's alright with you, we can get comfy in my bed. I can hold you till you can go back to sleep."

"Sure thing."

He held you in his arms and watched with tired eyes as you quickly drifted to sleep. Sleep soon took hold of him, too, and he joined you in slumber with a small smile on his face.

actually, im curious how ninpo works in this verse, bc in rise, ninpo was unlocked through familial trust n love or whatever but THAT aint happening for the next.. while.. in this au from what ive seen

it's still linked to familial emotions but in a more vague sort of way. that vague way meaning its more about strong emotions than like,, good cool wholesome family emotions,,,

raph gets his defending his brothers, mikey gets his also defending his brothers but from SPLINTER this time, Donnie gets his when he chooses his brothers over the (admittedly enticing) offer of a new family with Shredder, and i don't remember how Leo gets his but i think originally he gets his defending Splinter of all people (still his family but like. yowza)

I have an idea tho that your ninpo power set is very dependent on your specific emotions ABOUT your family tho, or like your relationship to them.

like as an example: one of Leo's powers is to control/partially inhabit someones body. if its against their will, it manifests as chains. if its with their full consent, it's way easier to do and manifests as these kind of soft silk strands. it's easier for him to do this to his siblings, or people he knows really well and considers "like family"

and he basically activates it by triggering strong familial feelings in himself. but sometimes those feelings are, for example, frustration that his brothers wont listen to his orders! and that's a strong emotion about family but its not a GOOD one. obviously that makes his power appear as chains, and the possession isnt a ton of fun on the possess-ee's side of things. especially when fueled by negative emotions.

side note tho, possession isnt ALL that Leo can do, he can do other stuff too that isn't as invasive. but i'm gonna wait until i finish developing the powers to really talk about that.

knocks on your door i have a fake fanfic title:

"Big, broken, Red heart"

My immediate thought is Future! Raph comic?? I've only seen like two of those smh HE DESERVES FUTURE FICS TOO!!!!

anyway, maybe F!Raph survives and he gets to go back in time??? Anyway he saves the timeline or whatever but fnds it too painful to stay with his family, as much as he wants to. So it's more about wanting vs not wanting to stay kinda deal?? mannn thining about hwo differently he would handle saving the timeline than F! Leo or any of their other bros might. Like he grabs present Loe and is just like ' I don't blame you for this. We were just kids. I get it now - you're a great leader when you lead the way YOU want to' orrrr smthn lke that? Like F!Raph understands now that Leo wasn't jsut being a brat, he was scared asf and was trying to lead the only way he could think of!! I have many thoughts on their dynamic in the movie okay :)

I'm not v good at writing Raph but I'll give it a go:

Raph's footsteps echoed through the tunnels, far louder than they had in his youth. He wasn't too late. He wasn't too late to fix this!

He bounded into the lair, shouting carrying through the subway tunnels back to him. He remembered this. it was one of those things he'd been thinking about since the kraang had taken over. How he and Leo didn't have to fight like this. Sure, Leo was egging him on, but Raph knew better now. He understood Leo so much more now that his little brother was gone.

Raph stopped at the top of the stairs, breaths coming out ragged and shallow. CJ wasn't here yet. But then again, he probably didn't know how to get to the lair. Raph would have to find him later - he had to do this now. The key - as much as he wanted to go for it on his own - it could wait. It could wait for him.

The shouting stopped at his entrance, his heavy breaths and footsteps giving him away. He'd long lost the sight in his right eye, but he could still see the vague shapes of himself and his brothers. He'd know them anywhere.

They leapt into action immediately, but Raph was faster than he used to be, even if he was getting on in years.

Mikey was fast and unpredictable, whipping his chuks out and immediately going for the capture. Raph knocked them away easy, grabbing the youngest out of the air and tossing him away. He was holding back, just a little. He didn't want to hurt them, after all. Leo was on him immediately, kicking off of his arm, portaling behind him and going for the back shot. Raph heard the static of the portal before it appeared, turning and grabbing Leo's outstretched leg. He flung him away, too, the slider crashing right into..himself. Younger Raph.

Donnie was suddenly in his face, his bo whipping through the air with a sharp sound and landing a blow on Raph's arm. It was sort of like being hit with a cardboard tube - he'd lost feeling in that arm years ago. He grabbed the bo and spun, Donnie backwards several feet and landing easily.

" Who are you!? How'd you find this place?" Donnie snarled, Leo reappearing next to him, " I didn't get any kind of notifications - the security system should have alerted us and lasered you into pieces!"

(mehhh idk what to put here)

Raph sighed deeply, his breath crackling in his chest. He squeezed Leo's shoulders, marveling at how tiny he used to be.

"Leo. Nothing that happens today is your fault. You can't take all the blame when Raph was arguin' back just as hard.." he chuckled, watching Leo's face change as he spoke, " You were just a kid. Hell, we were all just kids thrown into a shitty situation..."

He swallowed thickly, unsure what to say. He'd always been shit at pep talks.

" Look, you got a good head on your shoulders. You lead however ya need to and Raph will back off a little....he's just scared, Lee. And I know you are, too"

Raph pulled him into a tight hug, Leo's arms hesitantly coming up and squeezing him back. Raph turned to his past self. H looked tired. Did Raph himself always look that tired?

He guessed it was the burden of responsibility from a young age, Yeah, that would tire anyone out.

"c'mere, kiddo" Raphael pulled his past self into a hug, the fact that he was so small comapred to Raphael making something fragile in his chest curl up and cry a little. Right, they were all just kids.

" I'm sorry ya had to carry everyone like that...I know how hard it is. Leo's gonna be a fine leader, okay? Just..learn ta talk to him" He murmured, " I know we've never been great at that kinda thing, but he'll get it. I promise he'll get it"

#I WROTE A LOT #AHHH #LMAO WHOOPS #uhhh #rottmnt #rottmnt asks #rottmnt fanfic #rottmnt raph #rottmnt angst #rottmnt fic #rottmnt fic asks #rottmnt fanfiction #sorry its so long brain movie went ham #i don't like it much but i hope ya'll do

Everything Ends: Part 10

Tmnt masterlist. Ultimate masterlist. Everything Ends masterlist.

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

Cut to inside the building

After slicing through thick alien vines, Leo and Casey finally found themselves inside the building where Raph was supposedly held up. Just walking through what they could only guess was the main reception left Leo in awe, "Oh man, is this what the future looks like?"

Purple vines moved under their feet, taking up more space in the large room as they crept along. Casey looked around, the environment becoming more and more familiar to what he was used to. The young teen could feel his whole body shake, "Nope, the future is worse. Much worse."

Snapping out of the trance the room had put him in, Leo tried calling for his brothers; only now realising he hadn't heard anything from them in a long time. There was a lot of static before idle noise came through, "Donnie, Mikey, do you read me?" he called out. The room was eerily quiet save for the few sounds the vines made as they traversed the building.

But then, "Come in, Leo. Come in, Leo." Donnie's voice waded through the silence. Leo had never felt so much relief in his life, never thought he'd be so happy to hear his eggheaded brother's voice, "D-Donnie, where are you?" he practically begged. There were a few panted breaths over on Donnie's end, no doubt they were running from something, "We've extracted ourselves from the subway and are currently ascending a staircase."

A staircase? That must mean they were close, Leo thought. And if by magic, or certain chance, five figures appeared from the depths of the subway tunnels. Mikey, Donnie, April, Splinter and...(Y/N)...

Leo felt like he could collapse, after everything that had just happened to him his mind had drifted from their last interaction. After what Casey had told him, about the future, Leo was more sure than ever that he needed you by his side. Perhaps if he didn't act out like he did, then seeing you wouldn't have felt so painful.

Mikey, April and Splinter dashed towards the duo while Donnie lagged behind, tapping his techbrace like his life depended on it. You, however, choose to wait back not sure how you were meant to feel at this moment. Sure, you knew this would happen, and sure, some feelings needed to be talked about. But, whenever you looked at his face you're brought back to the moment that ended it all.

Mikey wrapped his arms around his brother, relishing in the tight grasp Leo held. Splinter joined the two while April hugged Casey, the poor boy freezing before accepting it with open arms. You watched the family with warm eyes, happy for them to be united. Though your gaze would flicker to Donnie who was, at this point, talking to himself.

"I'm getting a lot of interference, but if you hold still, I can triangulate your position using a complex geolocation algorithm."

Casey tried stepping forward "Donnie?", but Leo held a hand against his shoulder, a subtle way of telling him there was no point. Donnie continued to ramble to himself, you were certain he knew everyone was behind him and he was just ignoring them, "Odd numbers.. primes.. no almost... Almost!" he beamed,

Splinter coughed behind him, glaring at the genius' head. Donnie's shoulders sank, a small pout on his lips, "Ugh, I never get to use my algorithm." he moaned out. Leo pulled Donnie into a hug, much to the soft-shell's views on family embrace, "Man, I am so glad you guys aren't dead!"

Mikey nuzzled into the embrace, cheeks rosy and eyes watery, "Ditto." he whispered out. Casey had caught your gaze, standing rigid before he decided to move over to you. Originally you panicked, no doubt he was going to try to talk to you about earlier.

"Hey, sooooo-" here it comes "-about earlier, I appreciate you sticking up for me...I'm sorry I caused you and Leonardo to, erm, fight." something within you felt guilty, looking at this boy as though he was wounded by your's and Leo's actions. You shook your head, offering your own apologies, "No, no, if anything it was all on me. Don't ever think you caused this to happen, you didn't."

He tried to smile, but the frown on his face was holding his lips hostage in a tight grasp, "Back, er, back in the subway, me and Leo were trapped and we both said some things." You hummed for him to continue. Casey became clammy, maybe he shouldn't share this, maybe he should let Leonardo figure this stuff out. But maybe he could just help, fix at least one thing while he was here.

"He- he was miserable, not only because of R-Raph, but because he lost you too. I know he regrets what he did, but if he's anything like my master in the future, he'll come to apologise to you with the first break he gets." Casey could see the worry in your eyes, he could feel the nervousness radiating off of you. He flashed you a calming smile, "Go easy on him?" he asked.

You let out a small giggle, though it was part way a sob, and bobbed your head, "I'll try." you whispered. That seemed to satisfy Casey enough, with a brief nod he left to go chat with the others. But what stood behind him left you speechless, it was Leo. He was looking at you with broken eyes, a frown etched on his face like his lips had never known how to smile. He stalked up to you with solemn steps, a gentle "Hey," gliding past his lips.

You both refused eye contact at first, just choosing to stare at your feet or the ground, "Hey," you replicated. The air between you felt tense, it was an unusual feeling, to say the least. You were all so used to being open with Leo, showing your goofy side and your sensitive side. Whenever you got into an argument it would be petty and over within an hour, neither one of you could stand to be apart from the other for so long.

But this time it was different, this time you'd been apart, this time the words hit harder. Though your location wasn't the greatest for such a situation, and the rather large group that stood watching, it felt as though you and Leo were alone in your own special world.

"Listen, (Y/N)-" he began to say, taking a timid step towards you, "I- I was an idiot, a total, stupid idiot-"

"Leo-"

"No, (Y/N)." he cut you off, his voice authoritative. He finally looked at you, noticing how your shoulders slumped and your eyes were puffy, "I can't believe I ever thought I could treat you like that, let those thoughts pass through my mind. Who am I to question our relationship?"

He paused, trying to find the right words to say, "Casey told me- he told me that in the future we were like parents to him. And I don't know about you, but my parental life has always been a little iffy." he was trying to pull a small smile from you, he hated to see those beautiful lips pulled down.

"But the point is, if future us can make it work during an apocalypse, then why can't we make it work now? I'm sorry I yelled, I'm sorry I left, I'm sorry for- for everything. I was so in my own ass about saving Raph that I didn't take in how everyone was feeling, how you were feeling."

He took another step closer, "I want to make things right between us, even if that means we aren't together romantically anymore. I just- I need you in my life in any form that you'll give me. I- I can't lose you, but I'm already afraid I have. A-and I'll do whatever it takes to restore what we had before."

Leo slowly raised a hand to caress your cheek, feeling the warmth radiate and spread across his palm, "I love you."

You swallowed, fingers fidgetting as you stared into his big, dreamy eyes. Opening your mouth to form some coherent sentence, Donnie's voice rang out instead, pulling you apart, "Guys, Raph's signal has come back online!"

You gave Leo an apologetic look but rushed off to the others, all the red-eared slider could do was sigh. Donnie was stomping around the room, lifting his arm high and low to get a better grasp on the weak connection he had, "It saaaaaaaays, he's- Oh? He's apparently above us?"

The entire group slowly tilted their heads up, catching the glistening sphere that Raph was encapsulated in, "Raph!" they all cheered out. You watched with worried eyes, he looked like his entire body was wrapped in those pink and purple vines; he was unconscious too.

"Quick, get him down! Get him out of here!" Leo called out commands, you just continued to watch not sure how to help. But in all honestly, you didn't feel like you could offer much help to begin with, too in your own head, feet frozen to the ground and body slack with fear. This didn't feel right to you, Raph was too easily placed, too easily found.

You couldn't voice your opinions fast enough, but the others were too busy bringing their brother to the ground; no matter what. Once the pod was stationary, you all tried to claw him out but the pod felt almost indestructible. That was until Leo took action and slice through it with his katana, pink water gushing out as Raph's limp body puddled with it.

Leo placed an arm under his much heavier brother, lifting him up with all his strength, "Hang on, big brother. We got you, almost there...Raph?" You took a step forward, offering the duo a hand, "Raph?" you questioned. He was breathing that's for sure, you could see the gentle rise and fall of his chest. But the more you paid attention to it, the more it became irregular; Donnie seemed to notice this too.

"Raph, buddy?" Leo coaxed, you were all deafly quiet, waiting for any sign of movement. Though a punch to the face wasn't the movement you were expecting. Leo was shot across the room, a loud and whiny "Ow!" echoing as he tumbled and rolled. You focused on Leo for only a moment until you cast your gaze back to Raph. His breathing had picked up immensely, his stature getting bigger and bigger as he stood to his full height.

His movements seemed sluggish and stiff, you looked towards Donnie, hoping for an answer. Donatello had his mouth hanging open, eyes wide and in shock. A large clump grew over Raph, first taking his shell as prisoner and then blooming to cover the right side of his face. A large yellow pimple burst, splattering out pink goo, you thought you could hear Donnie gagging.

The now yellow eye clung to Raph like a disease, infecting him with this Kraang-virus. It spread along his whole body, wrapping vines around his chest and legs, while his arm seemed to upgrade with added spikes and claws.

"My son," Splinter whispered out in horror, nearly unable to recognise if his son was in there or not. Once Raph had finished his transformation, the room was filled with his grunts and panted breathing. The moment he looked up, he had locked you all in his sights, releasing a bellowing war cry before charging towards you all.

You, April, Casey and Mikey let out a loud scream, running away as fast as you could. Splinter and Donnie, however, took to Raph. They were being delicate in the way they fought him, needing to protect their loved ones but at the same time not trying to hurt Raph too much. As the fight progressed, you felt as though the room around you had come alive. More and more pods were birthed from the high ceilings, vines snaked and weeded their way through the cracks in the ground and walls.

April halted her movements, determination written across her face, "C'mon guys, this is Raph we're talking about. We have to save him!" she sprinted forward, backpack jostling as she ran, "Get ready for Aprillllll O'Neiiiiilllll!" she cried out. But Raph was faster, you were unsure if it was his natural ninja abilities that allowed him to move so fast or the Kraang enhancements.

April was flung to the ground, her backpack slipping off of her arms in the process, "APRIL!" you yelled, growing angry. You lept at Raph, easily being tugged off and thrown to the ground. That hurt like hell, like really hurt. You used to train with Raph a lot before the world went to shit, but clearly, he was going easy on you.

Raph was steadily approaching April's body while the others had their own attempts at batting him away. This resulted in both Mikey and Donnie being tossed to the side, you and Casey being knocked out entirely and Master Splinter being thrown into the wall. Raph's hulking frame shadowed April's, his alien tentacle wrapping around the foreign key that rolled away from its safety inside the bag.

Leo rushed towards him, only stopping when a swooshing sound caught his ears. Behind Raph stepped out the leader of the Kraang, Leo had never been bothered to learn their names, that's if they had any to begin with.

"Surprise~" the Kraang beamed, its smile was wide and gleaming, sharp teeth oozed in saliva. By now the others had awoken, limping towards Leo as they situated themselves. Mikey sniffled, unable to look at Raph, "What did you do to my brother!" he cried out. You placed a reassuring hand on his back, your heart breaking as he collapsed into you. Leo gave you a once over, but your attention was stuck on the youngest of the group.

"Why I improved him, don't you think so?" the Kraang cackled, no remorse in his tone. Perhaps that's what set Leo off. In the back of Leo's throat, a growl began to build, he would have charged and killed the Kraang bastard himself if the train cart from earlier didn't collapse the floor. On top was the sister Kraang, and just like her brother, she was screeching wickedly.

Poor Kraangified-Raph dropped the key into the awaiting hands of the leader of all Kraang, his expression was nonexistent. The Raph everyone and grown up with and loved was gone, who knew if he was able to come back?

"Thank you for this, by the way." the leader of the Kraang announced, gripping the key tighter, "We will be putting it to good use." He turned to his brethren, "Come, the world awaits destruction!"

The second sister glared at you, April and Splinter, at least she still remembers you; but with a hole in her face, it's not like she'd forget. Her voice bellowed out, a pointed claw aimed at you all, "Tear them apart!" she commanded the train. You had never seen anything like it before, how were the brothers not freaking out over this?

The subway cart charged towards you, April slapping your arm repeatedly while she stared at the thing, "W-we gotta move!" You all turned and made a mad run for safety, following Donnie as he guided the way to the exit. Although one person remained: Leo.

Casey skidded to a stop, turning back to his master with a pleading tone, "Leo, move!" he yelled out. But Leo was frozen to the ground, he couldn't leave his brother a second time. You saw all this happening, swallowing down your fear you ran back and stood in front of him, bracing your hands against his chest.

"Leo, I know, I know you want to save Raph, but you can't save him if you're dead. We need to go, we'll come back for him. I promise." you begged him, seeing his eyes dip away from Raph's retreating form to look down at you. Tears were brimming in your eyes, your breathing was frantic. Leo rapidly shook his head, allowing you to pull him along as the subway monster clawed at the ground where he once stood.

It seemed as though this was all a waste of time, Leo only came here to get Raph and once again they were leaving without him; some leader he turned out to be.
