Game Design and Porn Pt. 1

or, How To Fuck Up The Best Intrinsic Reward Ever

Hi, I'm Leo G, veteran pervert. One time while chatting in a server exclusively made of porn artists, I brought up the game design of a porn game I enjoyed. One of them laughed, saying "Who cares, it's just a porn game?" Being unwell, I never let this go. Since then, I have played many adult games and took each one as serious products made by professionals. Fast forward to today, and the demo for my porn game, Joker's Trip, is nearing completion. I also have some sci-fi erotica you should check out.

So you wanna make a porn game. You heard they make money, and hey what’s more fun than making a video game AND porn? But you don’t know where to begin! Well don’t worry, Leo’s got you covered. We’re gonna walk through the line of thinking you should have when designing your porn game. There's gonna be at least three parts to this, with part 1 focusing on how to reward your player.

Define "porn game" for me, Leo.

There are porn games, and then games with porn in them. A porn game is a game where you won’t last 5 minutes, where everything exists solely to meet and, subsequently, fuck. A game with porn in it is a game where everything exists for the purpose of the game, and also, you fuck. Fate Stay Night, for example, is a VN with a story that just so happens to have some CGs where the protagonist rails Saber, but is mainly about Shirou and the Holy Grail War. Much like how I would call Castlevania a game with horror in it, but not a horror game.

Porn games are a lot like horror games. They both get a bad rap for being cheap to make, appealing to base instincts, and generally being low quality. They're also both not actual genres of games, but genres of content. Think about it, if I asked you what a horror game is, you'd say a game that's scary. But what's the actual game part? The unfortunate answer would most likely be "walking sim," but there are a lot of examples that are FPSes, puzzles, driving sims, platformers, deck builders, the list goes on.

The most common genres of game I see for porn games these days are by far RPG Maker RPGs and VNs. I won’t be talking about VNs because they’re closer to writing than game design, which isn’t a flaw but a feature. What used to be everywhere, in days of old, were breakout games, where the more bricks and levels were cleared, the more of the sexy image would be revealed in the background. Other arcadey type deals like shoot ‘em ups and mahjong were also around, and had a similar “strip ‘em down until you have sex” gameplay loop.

Okay, so what’s an intrinsic reward?

There’s intrinsic rewards, and there're extrinsic rewards. Extrinsic rewards, generally, are the number go up rewards. Things that make your character stronger, or give you more resources to buy new gear or whatever. Intrinsic rewards in games can cover a large swathe of things. It can be the feeling of satisfaction of completing a puzzle, a piece of lore or world building, or a new dialogue option with a character you want to fuck.

I like fucking characters, are we talking about porn now?

Yes! I’m of the opinion that you literally can’t make a better intrinsic reward than pornography. On top of setting the tone for the entirety of the game., at its best it can add to a story, add to someone’s character development, or be a beautiful piece of art to look at. AND you can jack off to it! Unfortunately, that’s at its best. Let’s talk about how porn is delivered in a theoretical RPG porn game. (As a head’s up, there will be talk of “bad end” scenes, but this is under the assumption that the player is the one consenting.)

So you’re playing an RPG and get into a fight. Maybe you were underleveled or too cumbrained to remember to buy healing potions. Then your HP goes to zero, and instead of going back to the title screen, you’re getting fucked by orcs. That’s right, let’s talk about Game Over CGs.

You get to watch porn when you lose?

To someone making a porn game with a battle system, this delivery method makes sense. The characters in this world are driven primarily by lust, this is just the obvious conclusion. And it doesn’t even have to be non-consensual! Games like Future Fragments show that it can be presented as a sexy inconvenience rather than anything uncomfortable for the player or our hero. Game Over CGs even have the benefit of softening the blow of defeat, by giving the player a chance to reflect on their defeat and jerk off. Even better if losing a fight isn’t lost progress, but rather a bump in the road. However, there’s a problem here. The player is a dog, and we’re rewarding bad behavior.

The porn is an intrinsic reward, so why are we giving it to the player for losing? Incentivizing losing on purpose isn’t just bad game design, but a waste of time. And to that end, a lot of porn games try to give solutions to this. One being a kill button on the keyboard or a skill that instantly KOs our hero to get to the lose screen faster. What might seem like a convenience is really just expediting failure.

What it says is that the gameplay doesn’t actually matter. You’re just here for the porn, right? In that case there’s plenty of places I can go to see a chick with huge knockers get railed by an orc, with the added bonus of not having to play forgettable and mid turn based combat!

Another solution I’ve seen is the game outright telling you, “hey don’t bother killing yourself to see the porn. Once you beat the game all of the scenes you missed will be unlocked!” At first this seems like a reasonable way to go about it, but it comes with another problem: your game better be fucking good to make me play through the entire thing before getting to see cock. Like I said earlier, porn at its best can reveal things about the world and drive character development. I uh. Just beat the game. I don’t care anymore. Showing me a scene that’s taken out of context by a factor of 5 hours or more isn’t what I’d call great game design or story telling. It’s also too little, too late.

What if we made the porn actual rewards?

Now we’re getting somewhere! Let’s make the reward…a reward! What if, every time the player beats a level, we get some porn? If we tie the CG to beating the boss, we’ll be tying the reward to game progression. That’s good right? So now, on top of the extrinsic rewards you’d normally get for beating a boss (a lot of EXP, better gear, opened areas) we also get that sweet dopamine rush of pornography! So we’re good, right?

There’s 1142 words left in this post, so I’m assuming no.

Well. It’s a start. It has the problem of predictability. If not handled properly, it comes off as lazy. As a game designer, one of your goals is to not constantly remind your player that they’re playing a video game. Get through the level, get porn. It feels a little too “mouse in a maze looking for cheese” for my taste. And much like the game over method, if the actual game itself is mid, the player will start to question if the reward is worth it, and might be afflicted with the worst condition a player could receive: boredom.

Of course there are exceptions. In puzzle or arcade type games where you don’t get extrinsic rewards, giving the player porn as another form of reward per level or whatever is perfectly reasonable (though it does have the issue of being predictable.) This is a perfectly good way of doing it if your game is short, or if the game is, y’know, good and fun to play. Bad Color’s game, Heroine Conquest, is a level based puzzle game with porn as the reward, but only when you do good. Combining the actual challenge of mastering the game, with a genuinely unique game loop makes for a feeling of accomplishment when beating a level. Pair that up with a sex cutscene, and the dopamine rush will hit.

So! Let’s combine giving the player a power trip, with a less rigid structure for giving the player porn. Instead of tying the porn to purely progression gates, let’s tie it to the progression.

Plot milestones

In Third Crisis, sex scenes are peppered throughout the regular game’s plot, starting with some lesbian bondage before introducing the protagonist, who goes through a tutorial before having their own horny encounters. It’s not just given when you win or lose, but is a natural part of the game. Beating bosses, losing to enemies, and exploring dialogue options in sidequests all lead to unlocking new CGs.

Now what’s nice about that, is that the sex isn’t placed somewhere extremely predictable. It isn’t just a reward for beating The Boss Of Forest Zone, Now Go To Ice Zone And Beat The Ice Boss For More Cock. Because that’s the biggest issue of predictable rewards, you know you’re not getting anything until that checkpoint, which will make the player weigh whether or not it’s even worth continuing. This is fine, again, for an arcade type game, not an RPG or adventure game. By sprinkling sex throughout the plot itself, the player will not only want to progress, but their curiosity will have them wondering “what else is out there?”

Rewarding exploration

By putting sex scenes behind optional side quests or encounters, the dog that is the player will scour every single corner of the map, and leave no pixel unturned. Personally, that’s more exciting to me than what you’ll get in the main progression route. In Future Fragments the player can find their rival Faye in sexual situations if they explore the map enough. These are completely optional, and don’t give any direct rewards like more HP or an item, but they’re by far what motivates me to explore the maps as thoroughly as possible, more so than the plot macguffins the game is named after!

So now the player is excited. Sex can happen anywhere. Maybe that daunting off road path with stronger monsters isn’t just hiding a secret, but a sexy secret! They’ll be more likely to venture down those optional paths you painstakingly made.

If we’re using sex in game overs, boss fights, and just randos, why not put it everywhere?

So now I want to talk about the concept of a “sex stat”. It’s not a bad idea! Say, the higher the player’s sex stat is, the more opportunities you unlock for fucking. It could even be tied to the player character’s personality, and affect the story! Instead of using a sword and shield, they’ll end any conflict with sass and sex. They open their eyes to the horny world around them and stop being a hero, and instead become a succubus, and the ending is a massive cum filled orgy.

That sounds excessive

Yeah, it does, doesn’t it.

I’m not a fan of “corruption” systems in porn games. Corruption as a kink is totally fine, and having it be a part of the story lets you incorporate more sexuality into the plot. But as I alluded to, it snowballs pretty fast (and I’m not talking about spitting in someone’s mouth). It ends up being like a cheat code, where you’re bypassing parts of the game for no cost. It stops being a reward, it stops being unexpected, and it stops it from being sexy.

Wait, what? Stops being sexy? What’s not sexy about a succubus orgy?

Alright, listen, we gotta rein it in for a minute. This isn’t so much about game design as it is about writing erotica, but if you have a world where everyone’s fucking and sucking 24/7, there’s no contrast to make what would normally be a hot taboo a hot taboo. If everybody’s naked, nobody’s naked. The aforementioned snowball effect of a corruption system can be seen if you play literally any game that has one. It won’t take long to not have to engage with any combat or adventuring system if you can just press the “Submit to the big dick warlock” button and watch porn to progress.

Which, now that I said that, is exactly the problem. Imagine any other rpg you’ve ever played. Now imagine if every encounter and dialogue option had an option to just watch a short cutscene to skip the encounter. That would suck ass, right? Literally no difference here.

It would. Hey, I’m sort of lost now.

Don’t worry, we’re wrapping this up.

So what did we learn? We learned game over CGs have a critical design flaw that shouldn’t be relied on. We learned that predictable rewards can lead to boredom. We learned to keep sex as a reward and not devalue it.

To summarize, here’s a neat trick to know where to put your porn scenes.

”Would I put an Xbox Live achievement here?”

It’s that easy. “Lose to Goblins for the first time,” that’s an achievement. “Beat orc commander,” that’s an achievement. “Find Hubert the Magical Dickhead,” that’s an achievement. Using that as a guideline is foolproof. Almost.

This sounds like it’d take a lot of resources

It sure does! But don’t worry. I’ll cover that in the next post talking all about how to deal with the resource management of a porn game.

(Shoutout to Taylor, my guy for editing!)

Yan Michelangelo hc

OK so-

I literally had a thought abt this and it was so jarring and crazy I had to write abt it. Keep in mind that writing is NOT my strong suit so bare with me okay. Also for the record I don’t condone any of this stuff Irl okay, there’s a diff between fantasy and reality.

TW: dark, possessive themes, gore, blood, cannibalism, mentions of worship, nonconsensual touching (not sexual), kidnapping, delulu Mikey <3

When you guys first meet, after the initial freak out you might have, he gets attached quick

It’s love at first sight <3

Could you blame him tho? He’s socially outcasted from society ofc not-

Anything you want? You got it! He will do anything to get that thing you barely mentioned wanting, no matter what

He would definitely try budding in every time your with anybody but him

Skateboarding with Leo? He happens to walk in with a skateboard. Having a tea party with Raph? You guys look like your running out of tea, but don’t fear! Your new butler is here!

Point is, he’s fine with sharing your time because like all good things, it’s even better when shared! He just has to be there too…you don’t mind right?

Won’t mind if you get a partner…

Just don’t expect to hear from them if they have the AUDACITY to make you so much as frown-

He doesn’t need to be your center of attention 24/7, he’s a secure turtle after all. He just wants to be near you, to keep you happy and safe!

Even if you can’t tell he’s there-

He is a VERY Delusional Yandere, you can be doing the most devious, horrendous war crimes and he’ll still think your a saint, everyone else is in the wrong for being in your way

Anyone who talks bad abt you, well… you can’t waste perfectly tenderized meat can you!

Real talk for a sec, I see a lot of people hc Mikey to be a heavy worshipper but I don’t think he’d think your a GOD, going down on his knees for you, but I think he’d see you as a angel and treat you as such

How? Lots and LOTS of cuddles (even if you don’t want to), positive affirmations, and overall codling

Cutie pie, angel, sweet potato, expect lots of cheesy nicknames

Now onto the juicy stuff-

Cooking, in his opinion, is a form of ART! Something to express himself with while also sharing that experience with his loved ones

Putting so much blood sweat and tears into perfecting his craft, creating a delectable meal for all

So imagine his (not so) sudden shock when he starts fantasizing abt you…eating him…literally…

HEAR ME OUT OKAY PLEASE-

In that one meat sweats ep, he was SO DOWN TO BE EATEN, because he sees Rupert in a higher light, he’s his idol!

He put his own blood sweat and tears for you, your his everything! This is his declaration of love for you and you alone, the one dish he won’t give to anybody else

At first he felt an immense satisfaction when you chowed down on the dishes he made specially for you, the sight made his chest swell!

But soon that feeling faded, something inside him started wanting more, until it eventually became Mikey’s every waking thought, pounding against his ribs until it’s satisfied again

So he did what any rational person would do! Invite you down for a taste test! Hah you thought I would say kidnapping didn’t you?

…

Well your right, he may or may not have laced those pastries you were taste testing

“Think of it as a forever slumber party! I knew you’d be just as excited as me, can’t hold in those happy tear too huh? :’)”

He really believes you want to stay as much as he wants you to stay, doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll always be his saint, wanting to stay by his side <3

You have a specially made “room” hidden in his room, that you stay in

Has all the necessities and everything, thanks dee

He often comes by to chat, make arts and crafts, and cuddle you, he’s barely out of his room even his brothers start to worry

Can’t have his brothers believe your…”funny” jokes now huh? They’d ruin the fun!

Starts to ever so slowly try to get you to agree with his… idea

Slowly starts incorporating more meat into the meals he makes you, mentioning how turtle is a delicacy in some places- you get the idea

But in Mikey fashion, he doesn’t like to wait to get what he wants

He suddenly starts asking you strange questions from, “did you know that cute hamsters cannibalize each other? CRAZY right!?” To “have you ever wanted to know what turtle taste like..?”

Eventually his patience thins and nervously asks the big question, but you’d understand right? Ofc you would! He shouldn’t be so nervous around you!

Ofc after hearing his request you start to understandably freak out, will he want to take a bite out of you too? Is this it? You don’t want to die like this!

Don’t worry! he could never ruin perfection, your a work of art!

(He’ll be happy breaking your skin with his teeth and lapping up the blood tho)

Surprisingly, he won’t FORCE you to do it, but be prepared for his mighty persistence and requests

He’s pretty much trying to hype you up

If you cave he is OVER THE MOON

He is inside you.. LITERALLY (idk how else to phrase it don’t be weird pls-)

Constant praise and affection is what you earn while you contemplate what you had just done

If you don’t cave, he’ll start to get a bit aggressive with his hype, and starts slowly giving you less and less food you until you do it-

Before he kidnapped you he was a bit clingy, but AFTER? Attached to your hip 24/7 baby

5/10 experience, you will be scarred for life leaving you with a bad taste in your mouth. But other than that expect lots and lots of cuddles and delicious not human food!

Sorry if it’s a bit all over the place, pls lmk if I made a spelling/grammar mistake. Writing this was actually very fun, I might do more in the future until I draw again. Maybe I’ll do both!Okay thx for reading tho bye :>

-f1oricide <3

Disappointment 🫗

Mars in the 1. decan of Scorpio, Geburah through Water

Your work is just a fucking emotional crisis any small slip or any fear you have about it actively manifests and its making your life a living hell but hey we all need money to survive and you feel stuck as fuck in this position. However, with all this evil and deception about you will come to a sobering realization which will overall contribute to your resume.

Lust ❤️‍🩹

Venus in Leo, The connection between Chesed and Geburah Fire

You are overall very passionate about what you do and you love the feeling when you execute your job well. But when the passion is gone you are simply not in it to win it you may make mistakes and get frustrated and it seems like you are getting into a rut. Don’t panic collect your bearings and keep pushing.

Knight of disks 🛡️

Astrology: 21° Leo to 20° Virgo, The earth of Assiah, Chokmah

You are striving for material success in a place that may not give you satisfaction in other parts of your life and its getting to you. Since this reliance on the material has you in a choke hold you get envious and bitter of those who are “better” in any aspect. Do not succumb to the belief wealth only manifests in the material

Have you done any reverse versions with leo being the whumper?

Roy was clenching his jaw so hard, he was sure his teeth were going to erode under the pressure. It was all he could do to keep the pained scream from tearing from his throat, fingers twisting against the muddy dirt beneath him.

Hot sweats beaded against his skin as he twisted his head around, the teeth of the concealed bear trap clamped into his very flesh. Pain erupted with each little twitch of his limb, the breath punched out of his lungs.

He hadn’t doubted he would get away. He’d spent his life fighting for scraps just to stay alive, and this was no different.

Maybe he was rusty from being in the captivity of that damn kid for so long, but the moment the bear trap had sprung, he knew he was screwed. Completely. If his ankle ever made any kind of recovery, finding another way to get out wasn’t going to be as simple.

“Fuck,” Roy cursed shakily under his breath, sucking in as many laboured breaths as he could. He couldn’t move. The trap wasn’t going anywhere, even if he sacrificed his hands and tried to pry it open.

The beam from a bright light was already cascading through the trees, scouting him out almost immediately. Nimble footsteps suddenly stopped beside him, and Leo let out an exasperated breath.

“Hey,” he whined, dropping down into the mud next to him. He felt small fingers dig into his shoulders, pushing him onto his back. Roy couldn’t fight the pained gasp on his tongue when it moved his ankle, blood soaking into the ground around them. “Why did you run away, huh? Why?”

Roy felt a hand press against his sweating forehead, and he swatted it away in frustration, cursing under his breath.

“Because you’re fucking crazy,” he wheezed through gritted teeth, and Leo’s lip curved into frown. Who had bear traps lying around their house like this?

Leo was wearing the mercenary’s jacket, something he’d taken off the man and become subsequently attached to since his time keeping him here. He didn’t know why - it was just a jacket, but it still made Roy’s blood pump with anger. The pitiful expression on his face in the darkness of the night made him shiver.

“Don’t call me crazy,” Leo whispered, his hand coming up to lay across his neck. His fingers teased the dip of his collarbone, those blue eyes piercing straight through his own. “I told you I don’t like it.”

Roy didn’t have the strength to reply. He didn’t want to give this crazy kid the satisfaction, but his head was starting to swim and his vision was spinning from the pain.

The blond tilted his head, gripping the sides of Roy’s head, leaning himself closer. His eyes were wide, voice a low murmur.

“Why did you run away?” He spoke, his voice breathless. “You said you wouldn’t leave me. You promised.”

When Roy didn’t respond, Leo made a frustrated keening sound. His nails dug into his skin, and the mercenary suppressed a sharp hiss.

“You can’t leave me,” he begged, pressing his head into the crook of his neck. Roy tried to tilt his head away from him, but it was no use. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me alone.”

When Leo lifted his head back up, his fingers dug into his jaw instead, slotting their lips together. Roy grunted, sealing them shut, and Leo’s brows crinckled.

“Kiss me,” he whined, forcing their lips together once again. He purposely pressed them tightly together, not easily giving into the brats demands. The numbing pain throbbed through his bones, and when Leo leaned back to tug on the chain, Roy let out a pained scream.

A crooked smile spread across his face. “Be good. This is what happens when you don’t listen to me. When you try to leave me.”

When those fingers dug into his jaw once more, Roy’s defiant eyes squeezed shut when he kissed him again. With the pain sharp and hot, spreading like shards through his ankle again, he swallowed back the flash of pride, and opened his mouth.

Leo hummed in satisfaction, and even though Roy hadn’t kissed him back as eagerly, the blond seemed pleased enough.

“Promise you won’t leave me again,” Leo whispered against his lips, brushing a delicate finger through his damp hair. Roy’s wavering eyes narrowed, and when he threatened to give the chain on the trap another tug, Roy relented.

“Promise.”

“Promise what?”

“Promise I won’t leave you again,” the mercenary slowly chewed out, and Leo beamed.

“Good,” he sighed, sounding almost relieved. He’s crazy, Roy thought miserably, just glad he wasn’t sprawled all over him anymore. “I won’t keep you around if you break it.”

He stood up, his now gleaming eyes sliding to the bear trap. He almost smiled at the damage it had done, the both of them knowing Roy wouldn’t be attempting another escape anytime soon.

“Let’s go back home.”

Isle of Misfits: Chapter 8 - Burnt by the Truth

Fandom: TRR x Platinum x OH x CoP x TNA (so far...)

Series: Isle of Misfits Round Robin hosted by @choicesprompts

Word Count: 1,200

Characters: TRR's Leo Rys, Liam Rys, Olivia Nevrakis (RoE's 'Katie Rys', TNA's Sam Dalton and CoP's Trystan Thorne mentioned)

Warnings: M (swearing, references to depression, references to alcohol abuse, references to suicide)

“You’re still angry, aren’t you?” Liam asked as he and Leo stepped out of the bar following their randezvous with Trystan Thorne.

Leo threw a scoff back at his brother. “Why on earth would you think that, Your Majesty?”

Liam heaved a low breath as he watched the former Crown Prince of Cordonia stride off into the warmth of the night.

Leo had always been the more opinionated of the two of them — which certainly got him into a lot more hot water with their father than Liam believed was strictly healthy for one’s constitution — and this latest ‘divergence of opinion’ was no exception.

His brother just had to be made to see that the intervention was for his own good.

Brokering a peace alliance between warring states would’ve been easier…

But, soothing ruffled feathers is what Liam had been trained to do since he could talk, so if anyone could make his obstinate brother see reason, it was him… right?

“Leo, please,” he pleaded, jogging after the shadowy form of his sibling. “If you will just—”

“Why?” came the bitter response. “So you can tell me how much of a disappointment I am? How much I let you and the kingdom down? Don’t think I haven’t heard that speech a thousand times before…”

“Actually, I was going to try and apologise…”

His brother’s words caused Leo to stop short. Turning slowly around, he regarded Liam under the moonlight. “You pulling my leg?”

“No,” Liam insisted, spreading his hands to show his sincerity. “I genuinely am sorry. The entire situation could have been handled much better. You’d come back home to try and get away from the unfortunate situation you found yourself in — quite accidentally, but all accounts — and instead of offering you the moral support you so clearly carved, I annihilated your trust by going behind your back.”

“So, why did you do it?” asked Leo, folding his arms. His brother’s words had touched him, but he wasn’t going to give Liam the satisfaction of caving to the clearly well-rehearsed words to just hug it all out. “If there was an issue, you should’ve just come to me.”

“I… I couldn’t,” Liam admitted, his shoulders dropping a fraction of an inch.

“Why not?” Leo demanded suspiciously.

“Because Katie intimated that you would never do something like this voluntarily,” Liam explained tightly. “And… if you didn’t do it, she was going to file for divorce.”

The breath left Leo’s body like oxygen being sucked out of a vacuum chamber. “She what—?"

Liam looked up at his brother sympathetically. “Why didn’t you tell me that things had become so fraught?”

“I didn’t realise that they had…” Leo admitted in a hollow voice. “I knew she wanted me home more, to be with the kids, and stuff, but… Oh, Jesus, I’ve fucked this royally, haven’t I?”

“It’s not too late,” Liam consoled, stepping up to his brother to lay a hand on his shoulder. “She’s willing to give you this chance. But you have to commit to the program. Bertrand has had success with several clients already, who were arguably in bigger strifes than you.”

“Not with their wives, though…”

“No,” Liam conceded with a smile. “But that’s why you’ve been paired with a mentor — so they can guide you through—”

“Sam Dalton is a dick.”

“I am afraid I have not had the opportunity to—”

“He left his wife to be with his maid,” Leo spat. “What the hell does a man like that know about love, commitment, the sacrament of marriage, of—”

“You left Madeleine in the lurch when you announced your engagement to Katie…”

Leo opened his mouth, only to quickly close it. “That’s not the same thing.”

“Bertrand knows what he’s doing,” Liam assured him. “Give this a chance. Who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.”

“Why couldn’t you have found me a normal rehab in Switzerland? Or, better yet, California?”

Liam couldn’t help but snort. “Because you escaped the last rehab centre that Father sent you to. In the middle of a blizzard.”

“Yes, that was certainly one of my more daring jailbreaks,” Leo admits whimsically. “But the food was terrible. I had to bail.”

“Yes, well, you are on an island this time,” Liam reminded him wryly. “And the Beaumonts have a Michelin star chef on retainer, so—”

“Yeah, yeah,” muttered Leo with a sigh. “I’m stuck here.”

“That’s the spirit!” quipped Liam with a grin, slapping his brother jovially on the arm.

Leo rolled his eyes at him.

“But in all seriousness,” Liam added. “I hope you make the most of it. And are able to patch things up with Katie.”

“Yeah…” agreed Leo with a low exhale. “I hope so, too.”

“Rough night?”

“You could say that…” Leo admitted, shuffling across the polished marble floor of the foyer.

Despite the tense start to the heart-to-heart, he had managed to make up with Liam before his brother’s departure back to the mainland. But the revelation that his own wife had been the instigator behind not only the very frightening kidnapping, but this mandated exile as well, was going to take longer to digest than the remnants of the copious amounts of alcohol he still had floating around in his system.

Dropping the magazine that she’d been casually perusing, Olivia swung her killer heel clad feet off the arm of the Chesterfield sofa she’d been lounging on, and moved to join Leo. “Need a hangover cure?”

“This is going to take more than a pair of raw eggs and some Lythikosian pepper sauce…”

She grabbed his arm to pull him to a stop. “Liam told you, didn’t he?”

Leo’s eyes met Olivia’s flashing emerald gaze, before falling to the floor. “Yes…”

The Duchess of Lythikos’ mouth hardened. “He shouldn’t have done that. It was not his place.”

“Yeah, well… The cat’s out of the bag now…” Leo grumbled, continuing his weary trudge back to his room. “That’s got to count for something, right?”

“Not really…” Olivia muttered. “Because now you’re going to fall into a chronic bout of depression, try to give yourself liver poisoning, and seriously contemplate jumping off the twelfth storey balcony, and I’m going to be the one who has to try and talk you out of it… Again.”

“Hey!” Leo objects, coming to a halt. “It wasn’t that bad! I—”

“If I hadn’t booked you on that Mediterranean cruise against your will, you’d be lying six feet deep, rather than merely lying to yourself.”

“Harsh!”

“But accurate,” Olivia replied. “Which is why I’m going to throttle our beloved King the next time I see him. He’s single handedly set you back by at least two weeks.”

“Well, considering that I’ve gotten absolutely nothing out of the first two weeks I’ve been here, I’d say we’re simply back to square one!”

“Eugh…” groans Olivia. “You Rys are going to— What’s that?”

“Ow!” cried Leo as Olivia’s blood-red nails dug suddenly into his forearm. “What the hell are you—?”

“Something’s burning…”

fireworks!!

gonna try writing the mutant mayhem kiddos! this one’s a fluffy piece none angst ❤️

tw embarrassing teenage crush and teasing about it (Leo’s on April).

Raph banged on the bathroom door. “Come on, Leo, we have to go now if we want to get a good seat.”

“This is our first time watching in person,” Leo called back. “I wanna make a good impression, Raph!”

“A good impression on who?” Donnie glanced up from his phone. He’d thrown on a hoodie hours ago and camped out on the couch while the rest of them got ready. “People don’t go to firework shows to watch each other.”

Mikey poked his head out of his bedroom. “He just wants to make a good impression on April.”

Raph grinned, reaching over to give Mikey a fist bump. Donnie ooohed.

“That is enough, boys,” Master Splinter fussed over Mikey’s crooked beanie. “I know the humans are nicer now, but we still have to be very careful how we present ourselves.”

Raph didn’t care. He didn’t care if by some bizarre twist of fate humans hated him after tonight.

He was going to see fireworks in person for the first time ever. Usually they’d watch Time Square on the tv for New Years Eve, but tonight April had invited them to to watch with her from the pier.

Finally, Leo came out if the bathroom. He wore a tucked in button up shirt and a bowtie.

He rubbed his arm nervously. “Do I look stupid?”

Raph and Mikey exchanged looks.

It wasn’t that he didn’t value Leo’s dignity, but there’s only so much you can do, you know?

“You look great,” he lied. “Let’s go let’s go let’s go.”

“I don’t know what the big rush is,” Donnie finally out his phone down. “There’s already gonna be a crowd, you know.”

“We gotta have time to get snacks before it starts!” Mikey bounced excitedly in place.

“April’s expecting us in,” Leo checked his phone, “Fifteen minutes.”

With a little more arguing and a lot more chaos, they were out if the sewers walking through the streets. The little family huddled close with hats and hoodies pulled snug—except for Raph. He couldn’t help bounding ahead a bit, and let his unzipped jacket flap in the cold wind.

“What took you guys so long?” April demanded, shifting from foot to foot to keep herself warm. A crooked smile kept them from taking her impatience too seriously.

Raph scurried to get a spot on the blanket she’d set out. “Have they started yet?”

“It’s not even dark yet, Raph,” Donnie settled down next to him.

He groaned. “First Leo and now the Sun? Why does everything take so long?”

He got a few scattered laughs instead of an answer. Leo sat down on his other side—next to April, which would be why he was sitting so stiffly—and Mikey plopped himself behind them, leaning on their shells.

“Who’s gonna come with me to get snacks?”

Raph let the world shuffle around him as snacks were obtained and the family repositioned. He half-listened to April and Donnie exchange stories about school. He distantly sympathized with Mikey’s noises of disgust and alarm when Splinter greeted Scumbug. His eyes were on the sky.

It was worth the wait, when Leo pointed and Mikey grabbed his wrist. He stood up for a better view, hearing it whistle but seeing nothing. It rose in pitch, and he followed the sound, until

BOOM

Gold and red scattered across the sky, crackling like cereal and slowly fading until only smoke was left.

Raph cackled. Splinter smiled fondly at him. Mikey laughed with him. Donnie leaned against him in silent solidarity.

“This is nice,” Leo said softly.

And it was nice—sitting together in the nighttime air, unworried about the groups gathered around them. But it was so much more than nice. The variety of colors, the smells of smoke and popcorn and traffic, the ultimate satisfaction of hearing and watching the buildup and inevitable release—

It was exhilarating.

hii can i have leo with 33

my original plan was posting this one as soon as summer starts here (because i accidentally set it on summer) but look. we’re in the middle of the worst heat wave of the past 20 years in my country and i’m melting so i’m posting this at 1 am for the sake of self indulgence. thank you for listening to my ted talk ♪(´▽｀)

✧ leo + 33: soft kisses while cuddling in bed ✧

“Leo, let goooo!”

“Never!!”

“Leeeeeoooo you’re too warm…”

“I know! Not letting go either!”

Even under the strong summer sun, Leo can’t resist a long cuddling session. Taking a light nap right after lunch and then going in for another one right after the first, arms and legs tangled around each other not even minding the extreme summer heart. At least Leo doesn't.

You on the other hand can probably pass out from cuddle overload. It’s not the cuddles, mind you, but rather the lack of personal space in a 30+ºC weather, caused by the clingiest Leo ever.

But can you even be mad at him over wanting to cuddle? Even as you keep poking his cheek relentlessly in hopes that he might free you from his forceful koala hold, the more you tell him to stop the more Leo clings into you.

“Leo, it’s so hoooot…” You complain for the upteenth time, hoping this will manage to convince him. But alas, if it hasn’t worked the first 100 times it won’t work at attempt 101th.

This time, Leo pouts.

“I know it’s hot but I wanna cuddle! I’ve been working hard all day!” His brows are furrowed in the cutest way, not quite demanding but rather clingy, which seems to be his permanent state all throughout summer. You blame the stupid summer sun for not letting you enjoy your boyfriend who, seeing as you’re slowly giving up, grins in satisfaction at his demands finally being met.

You poke his cheek one last time. “Just a bit then. And then we do something else, okay?” Leo nods, pressing the first of many little kisses all around your face: your cheek, the corner of your lips, your forehead, your eyebrows. And then, of course, your lips. He pulls himself closer, resting in his head on the crook of your neck with a happy sigh.

“Then we do more cuddling,” he whispers sweetly, this time a kiss against your jaw line that most definitely takes you by surprise. A tiny yelp escapes from your lips, “See? You really reeeeally can’t resist some cuddling! So I don’t see the problem. Listen to your king’s orders and let’s cuddle to my —our heart’s content!!”

Dinner time

Guess who missed the disaster twins? Guess who was suddenly in the mood to write a Leo tickling Donnie fic? Guess who spat this out in the span of like 5–10 minutes? THIS GUY!!! I hope y’all enjoy lol!!!

Summery: Donnie is being a workaholic and won’t eat dinner with his family. Luckily Leon is on the case.

“Donnie if you don’t get your butt to the kitchen-“

“Leo shut up I’m working.”

Donnie refused to eat dinner. He was hungry. But he decided he was going to keep working on his tech instead. “Donnie we don’t want to start without you!”

Donnie scoffed “We’ll you’re all going to have to because I’m not joining. I want to finish this asap!”

“Donnie… you can finish that after you finally eat again!”

Donnie decided now he was going to ignore Leo. He couldn’t possibly stop working and eat! What kind of scientist would he be if he did?

Leo wasn’t taking no for an answer however. He snuck up behind the purple clad genius with a smirk on his face, and stuffed his fingers into his armpits.

This caused Donnie to seize up, drop whatever he had in his hands, and quickly clamp his arms down. Leo didn’t even move his fingers, but just having them there was a lot for Donnie to handle.

“Ok Donnie, say you’re going to stop working to come and eat with us. Or I wiggle the fingers…”

“No! No way! I have to… ghAHaha!” He flinched and tightened his arm clamp as Leos fingers twitched.

“Donnie you’re stuck right now. You practically have no choice but to surrender.”

Donnie shook his head. “No I don’t! I won’t go if I don’t waHAHAHAHaha..” Donnie dissolved into a puddle of laughter as Leo began to repeat his finger wiggling. Digging into every sensitive nerve ending in that area.

As much as Donnie detested to admit it, he was just too ticklish for his own good. “AHAHAHA. IHIHI. WOHOHONT. NAHAHOHOH OHKAHAHY I WIHIHILL I WIHIHLLL STAHAHAHAP IHIT!!!”

Leo stoped and pulled his hands out from under his arms. He triumphantly dragged his workaholic brother down to the kitchen where they ate together as a family. Donnie hated being away from his lab, there was no doubt about it. But he secretly did enjoy spending time with his family. Sometimes he just got too carried away with his work.

He wouldn’t tell Leo this though. He refused to give him the satisfaction.

"Bottle the World" - Valgrace - One-Shot

Summary: a valgrace arcane au of sorts. Word Count: 2688 TW: a moment of violence but nothing too bad. Read on AO3 (there is a better desc of the fic there)

Leo swore he’d never let himself fall for Jason again. But when he’s standing there, his skin gleaming like moonlight under the flickering lights of the basement, his golden eyebrows scrunched in worry and exhaustion, his chin trembling with barely contained rage and fear, Leo feels like a fool. How could he have ever thought he could stand against Jason’s gravity?

But with love comes rage, and Leo is letting it flood his system, if only to try to ease the burn of desire in his chest.

“Let me go,” he demands. “It’s me he wants, Jason. I can negotiate with him. I know how the Undercity works.”

“But you don’t know my father,” Jason spits back. “You don’t know what kind of game he wants to play. You give him the anecdote to shimmer, and then what? Chances are he’s going to use it to get even more control of the Undercity, make even more profit off of it.” Jason leans closer, his blue eyes blazing like lightning. “He’s going to profit off you.”

Leo’s not sure whether he should feel embarrassed or infuriated, knowing that Jason thinks he doesn’t already know that. “Do you think I’m fucking stupid? You spend five years on Topside and suddenly you think you’re smarter than me.” He jabs a finger at Jason’s chest. “Don’t forget who got you up there.”

At his words, Jason’s eyes sizzle with dangerous electricity. Before Leo can comprehend what’s happening, Jason’s fury forces him forward. His hands collide with Leo’s shoulders, his frustration sparking between his fingers, and shoves him back. Leo stumbles on his feet for a bare second, surprise overtaking him, before he’s sturdy again and hits Jason in the chest. Jason barely moves, but the flinch in his eyes sends a wave of satisfaction over Leo. At least he can still fight back.

“Oh, now you’re angry?” Leo laughs mirthlessly. “Did I finally push your buttons enough?”

“Why are you so fucking stubborn?” Jason’s fingers are digging so deep into Leo’s shoulders he’s convinced he’s about to reach bone. “Why are you so scared of me just wanting to make sure you’re safe?”

“You think I need some knight in shining armor? How pathetic do you think I am?”

Jason opens his mouth to speak, but Leo slices his words away with his own. “You think that just because you decided to pop your pretty head back into the Undercity I’m going to drop everything for you? You think I can’t handle myself? You think these past five years I’ve let people fuck with me, I’ve just been wishing you would come in and save me? Is that how desperate you think I am? Do you think I’m some fucking coward?”

Coward. The word hangs in the air, dangles over the mere inches of space between them. It shudders with the gusts of rage coming off both of them.

In the heavy silence, Jason’s grip loosens on Leo’s shoulders and he straightens his spine. His gaze is vacant and full at the same time, a sort of black hole, seething with an emotion Leo has never seen before, much less one he can name. The anger behind his eyes looks renewed. Reincarnated.

“You’re not a coward?” Jason asks, his voice a low, thrumming venom that sinks into Leo’s nerves. “Tell me again who’s the one running now. Tell me again who’s the one rejecting the future we could have in favor of protecting his heart. Explain that.”

“That’s different,” Leo says, but his voice is quiet now, quivering in a newfound fear. “That’s not what we’re talking about.”

“Isn’t it?” Jason asks. Exhaustion floods into his eyes, completely drowns out the rage, and his shoulders expand as he takes a deep breath. “There’s a difference between being cautious and being a coward, Leo. You’re straddling the line.”

“I am very capable of knowing the difference. But here you are, thinking I can’t even manage to take care of myself in front of some big, pathetic old man who depends on innocent kids to do his bidding.” Leo steps back, tilts his head to look up at Jason. “That makes you the coward. And selfish, might I add.” He sucks in a breath, trying to calm the tide of frustration that has washed over him. In a quieter voice, he warns, “You don’t own me, Jason. I can make my own decisions.”

A ghost of a smile haunts Jason’s lips, and Leo hates the relief he feels at seeing it, like the haze of anger over them has lifted slightly. “You’re right. I am being selfish,” he agrees. “But can you blame me? I mean, it’s like everything you do… everything you’ve done since I’ve come back, at least… it’s like you’re purposefully putting yourself in harm’s way just to get away from me.”

Leo swallows. “I don’t want to talk about this.”

“Well, I’m tired of skirting around this. Around you.”

“I don’t know how many more times I have to tell you.” Leo makes a point of staring him down, sinking his claws into Jason’s own gaze. “We’re never going to have what we had.”

Leo hates the way his voice cracks at the end, hates the way it stings his tongue. It makes him sound vulnerable, weak, and he knows that if anyone outside of this moment were to hear him, they’d use that vulnerability like a blade, strike him through the heart.

But Jason’s worse. Because he’s not going to strike him through the heart with it; that would be too direct, too messy.

Leo remembers once when they were children, shivering underneath a torrent of rain that had suddenly come crashing down. They were too far from home, stuck in an empty, dark alleyway coming back from their job with the pawn shop owner. Jason looked at him with those big blue eyes, brimming with anxiety, and asked, “What are we going to do?”

So Leo grinned at him and said, “Come with me. I have an idea.”

“I hate when you have ideas.” But even then, Jason followed him as they ran through the alley, raced up the balconies, and up to a door. Panting, out of breath from their run, Leo whispered in Jason’s ears, “I’m going to teach you how to pick a lock.”

It took practice, and that first time Leo was still the one to open it. But after that, each new lock they picked, each new door they opened, Jason improved, until they got to the point Jason could crack almost as fast as Leo could.

That’s how Jason will use Leo’s vulnerability. He’ll take it, meld it into a key, click open the lock of Leo’s heart and steal everything inside. No blood, no violence. Nothing incriminating.

And the worst part is Leo is the one that taught him how to.

“I’m not asking to get back what we once had,” Jason insists, drawing Leo back into the present. “I’m asking for a new future. A new us.”

“And I’m telling you we can’t.”

“Why? What are you so afraid of?”

Leo’s voice comes out brittle, crumbling as it parts from his lips. “You left me once, Jason. Who’s to say you won’t do it again?”

Jason stiffens, the shock electrocuting him from head to toe. Leo’s almost embarrassed to witness the utter shame pooling in his eyes, draining into his face.

“Okay,” Jason finally says, his voice weak, defeated. “Okay. That’s fair.” He closes his eyes and drops his head. “I hurt you. Badly. I know.”

Leo’s eyebrows rise. “Do you? Because you’ve known this since the moment you stepped foot into this house, and yet, even allegedly knowing how badly you hurt me, you’ve done nothing but try to convince me of why we should make something new.”

“I do know. You’ve made it very clear.”

“Then why do you keep insisting?”

Jason is quiet for a long time, simply letting the eternal silence squeeze around them. It holds them in its grip, sucks the air out of their lungs. Just when Leo feels himself start to suffocate, Jason speaks, and the silence slithers away.

“I know I hurt you,” Jason says. “I made a mistake leaving you and Thalia and Piper. I should have given more warning. There’s nothing I can say or do to erase that mistake, and I know I don’t deserve to be forgiven.” Jason’s eyes focus on Leo like a camera focusing its lens, making his picture clearer. Like he’s the only thing in Jason’s view.

“When I was up there,” he continues, and now his voice is thinner, coming out in threads, “on Topside, there wasn’t a moment I wasn’t thinking of you. When I got the rare chance to go onto my roof, and I saw the skies - did you know you can see the stars on Topside? They’re beautiful, Leo.” Jason’s lips quiver as he draws in a shaky breath. “When I was up there, I could see the world. And all I wanted to do was to bring you up there and bottle it up and put it in your hands.”

Leo’s heart shudders violently in his chest. His body feels like a volcano, rumbling with the heat of anger and hatred and desperation and desire, all of it bubbling up, licking against the edges of his throat. He hates the way his cheeks are flushing at Jason’s words, the way his tears are pushing against his eyes. He doesn’t want to give Jason any satisfaction.

“You think all these pretty words are going to convince me of anything?” he growls. “You think poetry is going to save you here? I’m a scientist, Jason. I see the world for what it is. And I see you for what you are, too.”

“And what’s that?”

Now it’s Leo’s turn to stare at Jason, his eyes screwing in like a gun aiming at its target. He’s quiet for a moment, giving Jason a chance to squirm under his gaze. It sends a ripple of gratification up Leo’s spine; he likes knowing he can still make him nervous.

“It’s funny,” Leo murmurs, tilting his head. “Since you came back, all I could think about was how much you’ve changed. You have the look of a man, the look of someone who’s seen ages of exhaustion and pain and maybe even love, and I guess for a while you had me convinced you were one.” Then he shakes his head. “But you think the world isn’t fair, that things just have simple answers, that it should bend to your will. You’re no man, Jason. You’re just a boy.”

Jason raises a brow. “And you’re so mature yourself?”

“I never said that. I know how stubborn I am; I don’t need to be told.”

“You don’t see a problem with that?”

“Sure I do,” Leo says. “I would even go so far as to say it’s less about stubbornness and about pride.”

Jason’s gaze oozes exasperation, and a part of Leo wants to laugh at it — but that’s the sixteen-year-old part of him, the part that would steal Jason’s T-shirts and hide them between the floorboards; the part that would laugh at Jason for still sleeping with a teddy bear and then proceed to sleep with the same one; the part that would trick Jason into standing in front of front of his newest stink bombs. The part that saw at Jason’s exasperation at its face level, and relished the hidden love behind it.

But they’re not sixteen now. And Jason’s exasperation isn’t funny or endearing anymore. It just makes Leo’s heart hurt.

“You would let your pride get in the way of your desires?” asks Jason.

“What desires are you referring to, exactly?”

He means the question to sound jarring, maybe even lethal to Jason’s own pride, because he knows exactly what desires he’s referring to. But Jason’s never been the arrogant type, and Leo knows that he would never refer to himself as Leo’s desires if it weren’t true. Because Jason knows Leo, even after so many years. And Leo hates that he’s let him in this deep.

Jason crosses his arms, and his bottom lip disappears as he worries on it. His eyes are flickering, coming in and out of focus, roiling with thoughts so loud Leo can swear he’s screaming even when he’s not making a sound. A desperation fills his eyes, deep and urgent, and all Leo wants to do is submit to whatever it is Jason wants to say, if it’ll make him stop looking completely lost and terrified.

“I’m sorry,” Jason whispers, his voice so fragile that it shatters by the last syllable. The shards of his pain burrow deep into Leo’s heart, and a new dread floods his chest, cold and jarring, bringing all his nerves to attention. Jason’s voice sounds like it’s at the edge of a cliff, toes flirting with the finality of the drop, and Leo can do nothing but watch as he moves ever closer.

You don’t have anything to be sorry for. Just come back to me. Just pretend you never left. “For what?”

“You’ve made your mind, and I’ve been pushing you for too long. I’m sorry.”

I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. “Okay.”

Jason takes a deep breath, his chest quaking with the effort, and Leo’s fingers ache to calm it, to hold Jason’s heart and let it pulse in his hand. Instead, he pushes his fingers into his palm and pretends he’s squeezing his own heart to a stop.

“I don’t believe that you don’t love me,” Jason says. “I don’t believe that you’re willing to throw all of this away just for the sake of preserving your heart. I know there’s a part of you that wants this, wants us. I’ve seen it - glimpses, really, but it’s there. It was there when you kissed me last night. It was there when you let me hold you this morning.” Jason’s eyes freeze over, determination and finality solidifying the liquid hope of his irises. “Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t love me, and I’ll stop trying to reach that part of you.”

A sharp sting erupts in Leo’s bottom lip, and he realizes that he’s been chewing on it harder with every syllable that came out of Jason’s mouth. But he can’t ignore the desperation in his eyes, the plea, as if he’s begging Leo to not say it.

Leo looks Jason in the eyes. Opens his mouth. Feels the words aching in his throat, heavy, painful.

But then he realizes the ache in his throat aren’t words, they’re tears. Leo’s nails carve deep into his palms if only to give himself a new pain to distract from the old. He takes a deep breath and opens his mouth again, claws himself out of the pool of regret in his throat, and pushes the words out:

“I don’t love you.”

But his gaze has slipped to the ground.

A pressure builds against his shoulders. Jason’s hands. “In the fucking eyes, Leo.” His voice is boulders rolling down his tongue, rumbling heavily, crushing Leo’s heart.

“I don’t love you,” he tries again, but each syllable is spiked with a sob, turning his words into jagged shards and particles, unmendable, unsensible. The tears have forced their way out, no longer prisoners. “I don’t. I can’t.”

He says this to the darkness behind his eyelids. It’s just him and the eternal black.

A deafening silence erupts around them, so quiet that Leo can hear Jason’s breathing, angry and red and bubbling.

The pressure in his shoulders eases. He opens his eyes. The blue of Jason’s irises is blurry through his tears.

“Right.” Jason’s nod is a subtle jerk, controlled but only barely. A beat of silence passes, and then he turns, his hand resting on the door knob. “When you realize that there are things worth more than your pride, I’ll be waiting.”

The door slams shut.

The force is enough to shatter Leo into shards.

Atp I want Messi to come back to barca no matter what others say. Don't care about "he'll ruin the team" blah blah. Thiery Henry literally said yesterday "for the love of football Leo has to coma back to barca and end his career there." And I want psg to lose literally every match after he leaves. It'll be bad for Ney but he's the one who wants to stay and I have given up hopes of him going to a new club.

I know Messi has won everything and all but it makes me so angry because he has so much to give yet. This isn't how it's supposed to be. And now after the World Cup he can really enjoy playing without any burden. But he's stuck with a garbage club and their annoying fans. It's actually so sad.

I agree with you anon. After the WC, I really just expected him to stay on that upward trajectory and enjoy playing the rest of the season. It’s not fair that the high of the WC immediately came crashing down once he returned to PSG.

There are days where I selfishly want neymessi to stay together, but then I watch games like the once yesterday and am reminded that’s it’s just not worth it.

I hope he leaves too, because the current state of PSG is god-awful. And even if PSG does get a better manager and better team, I just hate the atmosphere of PSG. The ultras are a bunch of manbabies who have absolutely no life, and I really don’t want to give them that satisfaction of winning huge titles. And if they have to win for them to treat their club’s players like REAL people, then I’m out.

I wish Neymar would leave too because I’m also sick of his contributions to the club being completely swept under the rug (though I’m not too certain that he’d want to leave atp).

How do you think Van is with a partner?

I think he’s tough to love but has a lot of love to give if given the chance and with the right person. 🥰 I don’t know if there’s any truth to astrology but they’re fun to read. Here’s what it says about Van:

From cafeastrology.com

108 Trine between the Moon and Neptune

Positive aspect: He is kind and sympathetic, with a strongly compassionate nature. When in love, he is usually very devoted. In fact, he is devoted by nature, not only in matters of the heart.

Venus is in Leo

When Venus in Leo people are in love, they are proud, even boastful. This position of Venus can turn humble Virgo Suns or retiring Cancer Suns into somewhat demanding lovers. Venus in Leo loves to court and be courted, and they need to feel very special. They are warm, generous, and even grand. Though really quite loyal to their partners (remember that love is THE most important thing in Leo's life), they thrive on attention from lovers or love interests. Be prepared for their displays: they will tell you about any advances made on them. Remember, they're just showing off to you, and it's likely harmless. It's a different story if you do the same, however. That's when you'll hear the lion roar...and, no doubt, you'll want to keep these cats purring. Venus in Leo wants to appear experienced in love, even if they have little or no experience whatsoever!

Venus in Leo people have high expectations, but once you know that these expectations revolve only around how much attention you are giving them, you'll see that they are really quite big-hearted about most everything else. They are threatened by a relationship that appears to have settled too much, or one that's lost its spark. They are also threatened by indifferent or impersonal behavior on your part. Although their needs for physical expression through sex are generally quite strong, their need for love is perhaps even stronger. It is hard for Venus in Leo people to separate love and sex, and even their most erotic fantasies are infused with love and affection. For this reason, few Venus in Leo folk would last long in a relationship that is mostly sexual. On the flip side, they may last longer in a love-only relationship in the absence of satisfying sex, but they are unlikely to feel very satisfied.

Pleasing Venus in Leo involves paying loads of attention to them. If you're willing to make only one adjustment in your ways, it should be to remind Leo how wonderful they are. Respect and appreciate them, always. Put up with their childlike moments and their tall tales. They want to be seen as attractive by you, so avoid (at all costs!) putting them down in this area. They actually lose interest when they perceive the slightest loss of interest in their partner, and you can expect that any letdown will be acted out in a dramatic fashion. Remind them, in a gentle way, that your emotions count too. If you are feeling a little jealous, let them know. Remember, to Venus in Leo, your small jealousies are affirmations that you find them attractive and expect the rest of the world to as well. Let them decide where to go on a date, and let them pay too. When Venus in Leo feels loved and appreciated, they reward you with loyalty, a big sense of fun, and plenty of physical expressions of their love.

-63 Opposition between Venus - Saturn

He is hard or reserved at times, and doesn't always know how to express his emotions. He may be frightened of showing his love, and this can lead to disappointments, break-ups, lack of satisfaction. He has doubts, can be suspicious, worries too much, possibly jealous but more likely insecure. He will learn how to be happy in love, to be at ease with himself and to control his jealousy or gain more assurance and sense of self-worth in the second half of his life, possibly thanks to a mature person, who helps him learn to trust.

-66 Square between Venus - Pluto

In an attempt to control the outcome of a love relationship, or the loved one's feelings, he can turn to manipulative games. Even if he does "succeed" at it, there is never a feeling that he has won someone over for who he is, and this feeds a vicious cycle that should be avoided if possible.

His feelings are intense, and even extreme, when it comes to love. He might attract intense relationships that have love-hate themes as a result. He can be very passionate when in love, definitely, but also passionate when in hate! He easily put pressure on a partner, expecting much loyalty and honesty in intimate relationships. Should avoid allowing relationships get to a point where the partner is superfluous and he is working through his own inner demons through that person. Certainly, he will learn much about himself through his relationships, and he may not always like what he sees. He meets himself (the "darker" side or inner demons) through his relationships, and it will be critical that he can recognize it as his own "material" and not project it onto the partner. Letting go of a relationship can be hard for him to do, especially if Venus is in a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius).

-120 Opposition between Venus - Lilith

There can be difficulties expressing the feelings consistently and this baffles others. Of a brooding nature, with intense moments that he finds difficult to accept or "own" which can cause disruptions in relationships.

Lex Luthor (Smallville) AU Chapter 14

“I’m being careful, trust me. Yes, I will. Thanks dad.”

You hang up the phone, sliding it into your pocket.

It’s taken some adjusting to be away from your house so often. Since you started college, you’ve been trying to slowly integrate into your freshman year. It was tough with the whole hero thing, but you couldn’t exactly just turn it off.

Then there was the situation with Lex.

Just thinking about it makes your face red. That day in the barn. You could feel his kiss every time you close your eyes. He’s made a habit of visiting you on weekends. But since your midterms were about to start, and he was managing so many events, the two of you haven’t really had a chance to discuss your relationship. Share another kiss.

Much to your disappointment.

Your eyes move to the wall. There’s an array of pictures decorated around the room. A few with Lex of course. You can barely go a few minutes without thinking about him. It’s sort of driving you crazy.

A trip to Smallville was what you needed.

You have to face him, because your brain won’t give you the satisfaction. It would be smart to take your car, but you sort of want to feel the wind against your skin. It feels like it’s been too long. You grin, heading to a secluded area on campus. You do a scan, right before you take off. Smallville is possibly a minute away.

Running that is.

Your legs dig into the dirt when you feel your phone vibrate. Pulling it out, your heart skips at the message from a certain someone.

“I know you’re busy, but if you have some time to spare I’d like to see you.”

You type a response quickly, shoving it back into your pocket. As your mind strays, you take off again. Reminiscing on all that’s happened.

He’s been through a lot of things in these last couple months, but above all else, it was nice to have your best friend back. When you get to his place, you’re moving at normal speed. You snicker to yourself, thinking of the lecture Lex would give if he found out you were using your powers again. He was a bit overprotective when it came to you.

Stepping into the mansion, your hands slide into your pockets. The double doors are open. Lex is seated at his desk, sifting through documents, as per usual. For a while he doesn’t notice. You don’t say anything. You just watch him.

“Our friendship will be a thing of legends.”

That’s what he’d said to you that day in the loft. You didn’t truly know it then. Back then he’d been helping you get Leo’s attention. Other guys were so far out of the picture for you. It took almost losing Lex for you to see past it all.

“Working hard as usual.” You spoke.

His eyes lift slowly, and he’s wearing that look. The adoration he shows has always been there. So you wonder how long he’s been looking at you this way and you really never noticed.

“Do you want to go for a walk?”

Lex smiles at the question, dropping his work, as he stands.

“I’d like nothing more than for you to whisk me away and tell me all about your freshman college experience. Have you figured out what organizations you’d like to join?”

He’s right next to you, ready to hear everything you have to say. You aren’t sure if it’s because he’s being so adorably attentive, or just his abundance of casual suits. But at that moment, you see him. The misunderstood billionaire who spent his entire time in Smallville trying to be a better person.

“(Y/N)?”

He’s looking right at you, and those blue eyes look ready for anything you have to say. It’s almost instinct, you reach out, palm sliding against his cheek as you pull him in for a kiss. Lex’s eyebrows shoot up in surprise, but he leans in, pulling you closer.

Your heart is beating so quickly, you have no doubt he can feel it against his chest. You pull away after a few heated seconds, and Lex sighs as you part. He means to question where the spontaneous kiss had come from.

But your hands slide down his shoulders, and you leave a kiss on his neck. It seems you aren’t the only one with that little weakness. His eyes close, and he hums, as you pop two buttons of his shirt. Your lips move a bit lower. Right at his collarbone, over his heart. Lex only pauses when something seems to dawn on him.

“Wait…”

His movements are a bit delayed due to the current distraction. Lex’s hands settle on your shoulder as he pulls back to look at your face.

“(Y/N) are you..on red kryptonite?”

You can’t help it, you smile bashfully.

“I promise this is one hundred percent me.”

Lex swallows.

“We really should go for that walk.”

He tries to fix his clothes, maybe calm himself down. But you can hear his heartbeat as clear as day. You shake your head with the same smile, and you back him up. He stumbles just a bit, legs hitting the front of his desk. He regains his composure, clearing his throat, and you lick your lips, staring at his.

So inviting.

“(Y/N).”

This time his call sounds almost like a warning. You love the fact that he’s a little hesitant. He’d never push you into something you’re not ready for. Perhaps he just never knew you would be this assertive.

Intimacy was always something that made you a little embarrassed.

“Lex..” You coo.

He bites down on his lip, and you’re a bit stunned when he switches your positions. He lifts you easily, and you’re now sitting on his desk. He slips between your legs easily.

“Don’t tease me.”

It’s an order, and you barely get a word out, because he’s once again claimed your lips.

So much for talking.

MIKEY AU PART 3

*real quick, I just wanna say thank y’all so so much for being patient with me. Like I said in my update post, it was kinda struggling trying to figure out where I wanted to take this. But I got through the writers block 🥳. Again, please let me know what you think in the comments and without further ado, let’s get into it....🤪*

Sometime earlier…

Mikey’s POV

I’ve never been able to fully tap into my power like that ever. It took a lot out of me. Lying crippled on the ground, the pain was shooting like darts around my body. It hurts to even move an inch.

Repeatedly screaming in pain, I hunch over and curl myself into a ball, hoping that it would ease the pain. I’m just really glad my brothers aren’t here to see me like this. They already have enough going on with the whole krang ordeal, this would only worry them tenfold. Suddenly, I heard loud metallic footsteps slowly approaching me. I squint my eyes from the brightness of his one glowing eye from the top of his armor.

My stomach felt immediate pressure as his foot was on top of it. I gasped. This is it. My 15 years of living are ending at this very moment. I can feel the tears dwelling inside me and pouring out of my eyes before I can do anything about it.

“ AGAIN… STRENGTH ALWAYS PREVAILS” it explains again in a mock tone. I try to utter a response, but instead, blood gurgles out of my throat and onto my plastron. It smirks in satisfaction after seeing that. “You’re the smallest of the group. You’re cowering into your shell. Tell me… what do you HONESTLY THINK YOU can do? Your so-called BROTHERS thought they could handle my power and look at where they are now” it boasted with complete arrogance.

I grunted with retaliation and threw my arms around for the closest debris I could find. With one of my arms landing on a rock, I quickly took it and chucked it at its face which was at his body. It screams in pain and I use that time to give myself space between it.

“ Do… you ever…shut up?...” I remarked trying to catch my breath.

It looks at me in shock but then shifts into its threatening stare. “...I’ll admit that was impressive…but you won't have that luck again” I glared at him, once again taking out my nunchucks and getting into a battle stance. But before I jump in I quickly turn on my communicator.

“...Guys…I don’t really have a whole lot of time left…so I just wanted to tell you guys one thing before I go…”

Everyone’s POV

Present

Our whole world stops when we all hear that sentence from Raph's communicator while arguing about what we should do. His eyes widened in shock, April doing the same but covering her mouth along with the action. Leo’s whole body tensed, and Donnie looked distant like he was staring into space. Ten long seconds passed and his chest was rising and falling at an irregular rate, not sure how to process all of these overwhelming emotions. Splinter just couldn’t maintain his emotions as a father and the tears were pouring uncontrollably like a river. Everyone has one train of thought: We did NOT just hear my little brother/son say that

“ WHAT?!?!?-”

“MIKEY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!-”

“ WE CAN FIND A WAY TO GET TO YOU!!!-”

“AIN’T NO WAY YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW?!?!?!-”

“MASTER MICHELANGELO!! NO!!!!!-”

“MY SON! PLEASE! DON’T DO THIS?!?!?!?-”

“....guys stop yelling… and hear me out.. please”

The silence was deafening as they all stopped talking.

“... thank you. Now the krang is too tough for me, so I’m gonna use my trump card on it. I mean if Casey jr. said future me could do it, then I gotta try. I just wanna say that I love all of you guys so so much. Leo, I’ve always looked up to you and I know you’re going to do just fine as a leader. Casey jr. practically admires you bro so that’s a good sign. Keep being the face man for the group. Raph, keep being that big softie that I’ve always loved. I’ve always admired how you watch over all of us. I can’t even imagine the pressure you feel from that, so I’m sorry for causing you hard times. And all those times when you were being overprotective, though it could be a bit much sometimes, I’ve always secretly loved it cause it showed how you have a big heart. Never lose that okay?”

Everyone was either sobbing or just silent, all of this was crashing on them and it was too much to bear. Throughout his speech, they noticed that Mikey's voice was breaking a little as if he was crying.

“And Donnie…gosh Donald, I love how you always get so lost in your tech as you’re venting to me about it. Even though I usually have no idea what most of the words you use mean, It always makes me happy to see you happy with doing something you love. I know it’s hard for you to express your feelings, but please promise me that you’ll keep trying. Remember the lessons I gave you as Dr.Feelings. The family loves you so much and can help you with that. Thank you for being an older sister to me April. I’ll never forget you and the fun times we had together. Watch over future boy too. He’s gonna need you guys”

“And dad..” Mikey's voice broke even more. “Thank you for raising me and for giving me a family in the first place. Just know that I’ve always appreciated you. All of you guys will always hold a special place in my heart.” a laugh escaped from the communicator. Always watch over each other…. then it went static.

utter silence.

one…

two…

three…

four…

“guys…just WHAT DOES HE PLAN ON DOING?!?!? WHAT DID HE MEAN BY CASEY JR SAYING FUTURE HIM COULD DO THAT?!?! ” April questioned though her expression looked panicked.

It went silent for a few seconds and then Donnie's facial expression went from distant to paralyzing fear.

“No…no no NO! Micheal, you better NOT be doing what I think you��re going to do!!” Donnie screamed.

“Donnie, what are you talking about?” Leo questioned.

“Remember when we were in the turtle tank and Casey jr. explained what Mikey will do in the future?!?!”

“What? What are you talking abou-” he cuts off. His eyes widen in shock as the realization crashes on him HARD leaving the already tense atmosphere amplified tenfold. Everyone else was intently listening to the new information that was shared.

“No…you don’t think he’s gonna…”

“YES LEONARDO!! HE’S GOING TO USE WHAT HE CALLS HIS “MYSTIC HANDS!!!” Donnie just let go of the very little sanity he had left in him.

“ …Purple… What do you mean by “mystic hands?” Splinter questioned.

“It’s..um…this mystic ability Mikey unlocks in the future where… he can open a portal…and…” Donnie struggled to find the right way to explain this drastic news.

“What’s going to happen to him, Donnie?” Raph questioned warily.

“...He’s…going to lose his own life just by opening it.”

*stay tuned for part 4 🙃

dkjfahj, could i just request a fic where Yuno and Asta are lowkey fighting over Leopold then mereoleona and Fuegoleon come in 🤔 i wonder how it would end..

Here you go, it took me a while, but I’ve got it. Asta vs. Yuno for Leo’s love, who will win?

Asta and Yuno’s rivalry is intense and passionate, and it only grew when they found out they had a crush on none other than Leopold Vermillion. They made it a competition to see who would be the one to win Leo’s heart, this rivalry may even have been stronger than their desire to be the wizard king!

Asta was inspired by Leo and Leo was inspired by Asta. They were both positive and strong, they were rivals, they cared for each other, Asta couldn’t help but have feelings for him.

At first Yuno thought Leo was annoying, but after getting to know him better he couldn’t help but want to be with him. He was adorable, he never gives up, he always finds a way to catch Yuno off guard. Leo was the first to make Yuno feel this way.

When Asta and Yuno found the other liked him, they decided they’d do all they could to make Leo theirs.

“No way, you like Leo!? Me too!” Asta said.

Yuno blushed, “No… not like that… more like…” Yuno struggled to get the words out. Yuno thought maybe he could get advice from his good friend. However, it didn’t go as planned.

“Like… Romantically?” Asta asked. Yuno nodded. Asta looked down and stomped his feet. “That’s no fair Yuno! Stop copying my dreams!” Yuno looked at him with a confused expression.

“I’m sorry?” He muttered.

“Fine then, let’s make this a competition! Whoever wins Leo’s heart wins!” Asta proposed. Yuno took a few moments before realizing what was happening. So Asta liked Leo too, huh? What won’t he fight Yuno for?

They agreed. “Fine, but I’ll win.”

“Like hell you will!”

So the competition began. Although this one felt a bit less friendly than the other ones… Asta and Yuno start to make their moves on Leo.

Asta hangs out with Leo a lot, he also trains with him. He makes sure to complement Leo so he knows how amazing he is. “Wow! You’ve gotten strong Leo! You’re amazing!” He’d say. Leo would smile.

“Of course I am! Of course you are too, which is why you’re my rival!” He says. Asta would blush.

“You want to go out to eat?” Asta asked. Leo’s face slightly turned pink?

“Yeah, sure! Let’s go! Where do you want to go?” He questioned.

“Have you heard of that new restaurant in town?” Asta asked.

“Yeah! Yuno asked if we could go eat there tomorrow. This way I’ll be able to tell him the food is good! You’re brilliant Asta!”

Although Asta was jealous that Yuno would be going with Leo tomorrow, he couldn’t help but feel satisfaction since he would be the one Leo would go there with first.

“We’re finally here!” Leo smiled.

“The food looks nice.” Yuno stated.

Leopold smiled and looked up at Yuno. “Yeah! The food is really good! Asta decided to hang out here yesterday.” He explained. Yuno stood there and his eyes twitched. Asta would never be forgiven.

“Actually, why don’t we go somewhere else?” Yuno asks.

“Huh? Why? We’re already here so we might as well go in.”

“I saw a bakery on the way here, right now I’m really craving some.” Yuno lied. There was no way he was going in there now that Asta had already taken him there. He wouldn’t be original. That restaurant would now be an Asta and Leo place, not a Yuno and Leo place. Every time Leo would go there he’d probably think of Asta since he went there with him first. Maybe Yuno was looking into it too much, but he wouldn’t let Asta get his way.

“Wow! It smells so good here! Good idea coming here Yuno.” Leopold smiled. Yuno nodded.

“So what do you want to get?” Yuno asked.

“Huh? What do you mean? I thought you wanted to come here? Did you not have anything specific in mind?” Crap…

“Oh… yeah. There is something that I want.” Yuno quickly told Leo. He didn’t want to be seen as indecisive and someone who didn’t plan anything out.

“Then, I’ll have whatever you’re having!”

Yuno ended up get them both some donuts and a few sweeter pastries, it’s probably not what would’ve usually picked, but he thought Leo might like these better.

As they walk down the streets they run into someone. “Oh! Asta! Hi, I wasn’t expecting to see you here.” Leopold waved.

“Hey Leo, what’s with the pastries? I thought you were going to that restaurant?” Asta wondered.

“Oh, Yuno decided he wanted to go to the bakery instead. You want a donut?” Leopold offers.

Asta stared at Yuno. Yuno smirked and they both stared at each other. The tension was dense. Leopold looked at both of them. “Uh… I didn’t know you both liked donuts so much… It’s ok! We can split them evenly!”

“Huh? Oh, it’s not that Leo! It’s something else. I would love a donut.” Asta accepted. Yuno sighed. Those donuts we’re supposed to be for him and Leo, not Asta…

“Well I think we should be going now…” Yuno suggested.

“Oh? Can Asta come with us?” Leo asked.

“I’m sure Asta is busy.” Yuno said.

“No it’s fine, I’d love to come with you guys.” Asta nodded. Yuno sighed and eyed Asta.

“You had that important mission… remember?” Yuno gave him the death stare. Asta did the same. Leopold was very confused.

“Hey Leo, how’s your back doing?” Asta asked.

“H-huh? Yeah It’s fine! Didn’t feel a thing!” Leo answered.

“Your back? What happened to your back?” Yuno asked. He’s gonna regret asking.

“When me and Leo were training yesterday I ended up accidentally falling on top of him, he fell on a small rock.” Asta was evil. That’s the only thing Yuno saw him as now. Pure evil. Rubbing in the fact of how close he got to Leo.

“Is that right?” Yuno spoke.

“Sure is.” Asta replied. The tension was getting even more dense.

Leopold looked back and forth. “You know what? I think I’m just gonna go home. My brother probably wants to see me. It was nice hanging out with you, bye!” Leo quickly ran off before Asta or Yuno was able to say anything.

“You can try all you want Asta, but Leo will be mine.” He said.

“Keep telling yourself that.” Asta replied.

Leo walked inside and let out a long sigh. “Leo? You’re back already?” He heard a voice ask. He looked up.

“Hello big brother! Oh. You’re here too?”

“You got a problem with that?” Mereoleona asked. Leo shook his head.

“No! Of course not!” Leo went and took a seat next to Fuegoleon.

“So what’s bothering you?” Fuegoleon questions. Leo sighed.

“I don’t know.” Leopold answered.

“You don’t know? Don’t lie. Tell us what’s bothering you.” Mereoleona commanded. Leo thought about it.

“It’s weird. When I was hanging out with Yuno today we ran into Asta. They kept eyeing each other like they hated each other. Yuno kept trying to make Asta go away and Asta was speaking like he was bragging about something. Then when I talked they were completely different and nice to me. I wonder what happened between them.” Leo explained everything.

Fuegoleon and Mereoleona gave each other a knowing look at each other and smiled. “I don’t think you have to worry about that. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Leo tilted his head. “Huh? Do you know something?”

“Could you be any more dense? They’re obviously fighting over you.” Mereoleona said bluntly.

“What!? Me? Why would they fight over me?” He asked.

“Isn’t it obvious? They’re both obviously head over heels for you.” She laughed.

“Sister, could you be any more blunt? He needs to process everything.”

“What? He wanted to know.” She responded.

Leopold thought about it, and all the pieces clicked together. “What do I do?”

“I don’t know, figure it out.”

“I think you should go and think about how you feel about them. Think long and hard.” Fuegoleon suggested. Leopold thought about it and nodded.

“Ok then! Thanks brother! I’ll be in my room.” Leopold waved.

“Where’s my thanks!? I’m the one who told you the deal in the first place!”

“Thanks big sis!” They heard Leo yell from the hall. She scoffed.

Leopold lay in his bed and stared at the ceiling. ‘What do I do…? I… do feel something when I’m with them… If they both like me, who will I pick? Who do I truly like?’ That’s when he sat up and came up with an idea.

It was the next day. Leo was excited. Asta and Yuno on the other hand… “Hey Yuno, what are you doing here?” Asta greeted Yuno. Yuno sighed.

“Leo invited me here, you?” He answered.

“Same as you!” Asta explained.

Leo wakes up to the two. “Hey guys!” He said. Yuno and Asta said hi. “So I wanted all of us to hang out, but you two seemed to be at each other’s throats yesterday which is why I didn’t tell you I was inviting the other. I, Leopold Vermillion, will make you stop fighting! So, what do you guys wanna do first?”

“You mean you invited us here and you didn’t even have a plan?” Yuno scoffed.

“You wanna train?” Asta asked.

“Please, do you ever think about anyth-“

“Sure! I’d love to! Where do you want to go? It’s got to be somewhere where we could really get stronger!” Leopold interrupted Yuno.

“We could clear a dungeon.” Yuno suggested.

“Hey Leo, let’s go climb up the volcano! We can see who gets to the top first!” Asta explained excitedly. Leopold’s eyes lit up.

Leopold was faced with a choice. Yuno’s suggestion, or Asta’s suggestion? He thought about it and made a choice.

“Yeah! Let’s go climb up the volcano! I bet we could beat Yuno this time!” Leopold chose. Yuno smirked.

“As if, I’ll beat you both, just like last time.”

“What do you mean like last time!? We totally tied last time!” Asta argued.

“I think you’re delusional.” Yuno replied.

In the end Asta and Yuno got a tie and Leopold just barely tied with them. “Man! You guys are strong. I’ll beat you next time though! I’ll get stronger.”

‘I know you will.’ Yuno was tempted to say, but he didn’t.

“Don’t worry Leo, I kn-“

“We know you will be Leo.” Yuno interrupted Asta. Yuno was going to make sure Leo would pick him.

“Thank you! It’s to be expected! One day, I’m going to surpass my siblings and I’ll be stronger than both of you!”

Asta and Yuno smiled, they wouldn’t let the other steal him away.

Normally, Leo would want to get in the hot springs. However, with him thinking Asta and Yuno both like him… He’d rather race them back down. So that’s what he’d do.

“Race you back down!” He shouted.

“Huh? We just got here.”

“What about the hot spring!?”

“You won’t get to dip in the hot spring between every battle out there!” Leo made an excuse. Yuno and Asta chased after him.

After they made it into town, Leo suggested that they go to the restaurant so Yuno could try the food, then the bakery so Asta could try some more pastries. “Those were tasty! We should do this more often!” Leo said. Asta and Yuno agreed. “Well let’s go find an inn to stay in for the night.”

“Huh? We’re not going home?” Asta asked.

“I thought it’d be fun if we had a slumber party or something.”

“I didn’t know you were so girly.” Yuno teased.

“Shut up!” Leo shot at him.

After they rented a room, they walked in. It was nice, something about the room felt different than other inns and places. It felt more… cozy and at home.

“Thank you.” Leopold smiled. Yuno and Asta looked at him, confused. “For hanging out with me today, I had lots of fun. I know what I want now.”

“What do you mean you know what you want?” Asta asked.

Leopold smiled and blushed. “I’m gonna go outside.” Leopold walked outside and stood there.

Asta and Yuno sat in the room. They had lots of fun with Leo, they want to have more fun with Leo. They want Leo to be theirs. They both made their decision. They were doing this right here, right now. Asta and Yuno got up and looked at each other. So they both had the same idea? They both hurried out the door.

They ran out and saw Leo standing there. “Leo, I love you.” They said in sync. Leo stared at them in shock.

It felt weird, Leo had a feeling that his sister was right, but hearing them say it… was just… Hearing it, Leo realized he didn’t really believe his sister until now. They really love him? He blushed and looked at them.

“Are you really… telling the truth?” Leo wavered.

“I’m telling the truth, you’ve always been important to me. The way you’re so strong and you never give up, you inspire me a lot. I do love you Leo…” Asta explained.

Leo looked at Yuno. “It’s the same for me, it’s true. At first, I thought you were childish and weak, but after I got to know you. I’ve been feeling these things… and I haven’t felt this way about anyone before.” Yuno explained himself. Leo stared at them.

Who will you pick Leo?

Asta

Leopold gave Yuno a look of sadness. Yuno nodded and turned away. “Asta… I love you too.” Leopold smiled. Asta’s eyes widened and he blushed. Yuno walked back inside and left them alone.

Asta walked up closer to Leo. “Really? You really feel the same!?” He said. Leo smiled and nodded. Asta’s eyes did that sparkling thing they do and he rushed to hug Leo. “Thank you! I promise I’ll be the best boyfriend ever!” Asta announced. Leopold nodded.

“I have no doubt.” Leopold said as he put his hands on Asta’s cheeks and brought him into a kiss. Asta stood there for a moment.

He gasped. “That was so cool!” He hugged Leo. After they talked for a bit they went inside. Yuno looked up.

Asta went into the bathroom. “Yuno… I’m sorry.” Leo apologized.

“No, it’s fine. I hope you two will be happy together. You deserve each other. I’ll be fine. We’re still friends… Nothing has to change between us. Asta’s been working hard all his life, he deserves some happiness.” Yuno gave Leo a smile. He nodded.

“Yup, and I’m going to be the wizard king too!” Asta shouted coming out of nowhere.

“Keep dreaming, that one’s still mine.” Yuno smirked.

After this, Leo and Asta became boyfriends. Yuno eventually got over Leo and started to have a crush on someone else. Mereolona and Fuegoleon weren’t surprised on who Leo picked. They liked Asta and supported them.

Leo and Asta were happy.

Yuno

“I’m… sorry Asta… I don’t feel the same…” Leo muttered. Asta nodded and gave him a weak smile.

“It’s ok Leo. You can’t control how you feel. You’ll be happy with Yuno. We’re still rivals though! I’m still going to be the wizard king!” Asta smirked as he walked inside.

Yuno and Leo looked at each other. “So does that mean you…?”

“Yes. I love you Yuno.” Leo smiled at Yuno. Yuno smiled back at him.

“I knew you would.” Yuno smirked. That ignorance was something he needed to work on.

Leopold scoffed and looked away. “Don’t get cocky! Just because you’re powerful and cool doesn’t mean you can-“ Yuno cut him off by kissing Leo. Leo closed his eyes and leaned in.

When they pulled back Leo blushed and felt like covering his face. “Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. You looked cute.”

Leo got even more flustered and looked away. “Shut up!” He stuttered.

After Yuno and Leo went back to their room they found Asta fast asleep in his bed.

When Leo told Fuegoleon and Mereoleona, they weren’t surprised. Fuegoleon was completely fine with Yuno, he’ll make sure to get to know him. Mereoleona on the other hand, didn't really like Yuno that much. He was ignorant and smug. Mereoleona would have to deal with it though, however what she could do… if make sure Yuno’s worthy… by putting him through hell.

Apologies: Do’s and Don’ts (3)

Carnage let out a low growl as all members jumped down one by one, eyes narrowing and turning towards Gareth, then back at the figures in front of them,

“Well,” he shrugged, “we’re sorry. Force of habit to observe the edibility of most entities,”

The symbiote turned to Gareth. The vampire looked up at him with a scrunched up face. The symbiote narrowed his eyes like a disappointed parent.

Gareth let out a loud, annoyed groan, “It was a joke! I wasn’t gonna!”

“Say sorry,”

“Nooooooooooo!”

Carnage lowered his hand and smacked the back of the vampire’s head, his hair flared up and into his face again as he took the hit. Gareth hissed and rubbed the back of his head,

“Ow! Motherfucker!”

“Say sorry,”

“After you hit me-“

“Say sorry to the turtles,”

“You say sorry for hitting me-“

“I am sorry, turtles,”

A pause.

Gareth crossed his arms and grumbled, rolling his eyes and said stiffly, “I. Am. Sorry.”

Carnage let out another low growl in satisfaction, turning back to the group.

-(+)-

Scarlet Spider’s eyes widened under her mask as she observed the interaction, surprised at the seeming maturity of the symbiote. It contradicted everything she knew from previous experiences with the species.

“Uh. Thanks.”

Mikey said confusingly from behind Scarlet. Raph crossed his arms.

“But don’t do that again. Threatening people is not cool and it’s not funny.”

Another short silence. God this was awkward and not at all how Scarlet expected this confrontation to go.

“Okay. Who are you two or uh… three?”

She finally asked, gesturing towards the vampire and the symbiote beast.

“And what are you doing running around causing chaos?”

-(+)-

Gareth scoffed, eyes narrowed in an offended manor, “If I was causing chaos, you would have known way in advance. I ain’t doin’ shit!”

Carnage let out a deep growl, glancing down at the vampire. Gareth glared up at them, but backed off, pursing his lips. Before Carnage could speak, Tangle Web pushed himself off of the wall,

“You got your apology, that will be enough,” he said, sternly.

“Tangle-“

“No,” he snapped.

The symbiote was taken aback, tilting his head.

Tangle Web stridded over, fists clenched and stopped in front of Scarlet, “You got what you came for. Leave us alone.” That last word came out in a half hiss as he towered over the other.

The turtles all tensed as Tangle Web approached Scarlet Spider, with Leo and Donnie positioning their weapons in a fighting stance. Scarlet Spider straightened her back, tilting her head to look up at the taller spider. She could feel Mikey reach out a hand to touch one of her shoulders from behind. She sighed.

“Look. I don’t like you, you don’t like me, and we both seem a bit wound up. Let’s not repeat the last two times. Just. Don’t cause anymore trouble. Any of you.”

Scarlet couldn’t tell if that tense feeling spreading through her body was her spider sense or anxiety, but she managed to keep it out of her voice.

Tangle Web glared at the mutants that stood behind the Scarlet Spider, his expression hidden. Carnage was behind him, staring at him with a blank expression. His eyes and lips twitching and his head tilted slightly to the side as if he was listening to something.

Gareth still had his arms crossed over his chest, staring at the ground. His frown only deepened while Tangle spoke and Scarlet responded.

Tangle Web didn’t turn to look at his friends yet. He stared back at Scarlet, lowering his voice,

“This all started because you couldn’t mind you own fucking business,” he growled, “mess with me all you want, but them?” his hand twitched as he maintained eye contact, pausing.

He let out a low hiss, “You’re really testing my patience, Athena.”

With that, the masked vigilante turned around slowly, giving one last glare at the other mutants before turning to leave the alley. Carnage slowly lifted his head, hesitating with his arms crossed. Gareth was first to follow. The symbiote stayed. Then turned his head to look at one of the mutant turtles he was… chatting with… beforehand. His glare returned back to his friends and he slowly stalked forward as Tangle Web launched a web and swung off, Gareth leaping upward into the air and scaling a building. Carnage leapt up behind him to follow suit.

Shit

“That goes both ways Anthony!”

The words left Scarlet’s mouth immediately as she watched the spider vigilante and his partners scatter. Mikey’s grip on her shoulder tightened. Her hands balled into fists at her side.

“C’mon guys. Let’s go.”

Raph finally announced, starting to lead the way.
