#i wanted to talk about raph and how he picks things up that he sees as needing picked up but no one else is willing to take
Text
i am going to stand on my Raph Is The Sun soapbox forever ftr. not that anyone has said not to.
i don’t mean that in an “everything and everyone revolves around raph all the time, bc he’s the most important one of them all” way. bc i’ll reiterate forever that there is no one member of this family who is the Most Important or most special, there is no member of this family who would be the most or least devastating to lose. like. if the hamatos lose anyone they’re never fully recovering.
i do mean what i say in the general sense of raph being a source of warmth and support, and in the sense that he does a lot of holding everyone together.
but more than anything when i say raph is the sun and his family is his solar system i mean like
raph isn’t the sun bc he’s the most important one that everyone revolves around, he’s the sun bc without a planetary system, a sun isn’t a sun. and i think so much of raph’s sense of personal identity and purpose is wrapped up in the roles he serves for his family so like. it just all checks out

whats so special about two
There are many things that are special about Two, but, in the context of this question; Two is my twin brother. We are practically telepathic, I'll have you know. I knew him when I lived in the lab - father arranged playdates for us after he began working with Two's dads. He understands me the best of our brothers, of our entire shared family. I do not have to worry about him misunderstanding my meaning, and he I. Though I briefly thought otherwise, he is the only aspect of my life that did not change significantly when I moved topside. He is a homely comfort.
#ic#anon#ask#((donnie voice now if you were to ask him what he thinks of ME i think you would have a very different story on your hands))#((leo adds a lot of stability to donnies day to day but the only thing he can see that he provides to leo is what he can create))#((he thinks that if anything leo may be somewhat revolted by him since leo does NOT like barry and donnie takes after him a lot. and loves#him. and talks about him a lot))#((he thinks his presence is probably a negative as a baseline to leo so he tries very hard to counteract that))#((ugh. ugh. i NEED to figure out where the riserpc is. not to discourage anyone from asking but idk if i would be satisfied w someone elses#characterization if someone picked up one of donnies timeline mates))#((besides jake obv))#((but an ALTERNATE. THAT would be VERY FUN. donnie talks to a sillygoofy mikey alt like ah yes you did very well bouncing back from your#years of bloodshed! ^_^))#((alternate raph who gets the cold shoulder bc donnie just doesnt know how to talk to him))#((alternate leo who is so??? not BROODING constantly?????? ??))#((i think that would be the funniest))#((and of course splinter being snubbed because donnie is Mad At Him))#((hes mad at his splinter for abandoning him and hes mad at alternate splinter for NOT. what do you MEAN that was an option. what do you#MEAN you love me. i hate you.))#((i want you to know that i am thinking about this constantly. but donnie is bad at talking so it is all kept to myself#))

Leo's face man persona has allowed Leo to read between lines & twist words & situations in his favour which is often why Leo could possibly be considered a foil for Big Mama who also knows how to twist words & situations in her own favour.
Tumblr media
Leo: My deal was no weapons for you, not me.
However Leo's ability to twist his words in order to push things in his or his family's favour might possibly be something that Leo originally learnt from Raph.
Leo has been shown to have a habit of copying traits from his siblings often imitating or showing similar or the same traits as April, Donnie & Raph which is why Leo learning to his words to get the result he wants might have been something that Leo learnt from Raph as it has been stated that Raph sometimes twists the truth or lies to his brothers to try to get them to be more responsible.
Tumblr media
Donnie: How about when you tell us training stats an hour earlier because you know we’re always late, mm?
Leo: Or when you told Mikey that if he doesn't take out the trash the trash monster would eat him in his sleep.
In the episode 'Pizza Puffs' that Raph has been stated to twist the truth or tell small lies in order to try & get his brothers to be more responsible due to a belief that he often can't trust them to do 'simple stuff' however Leo has been shown to have the ability to see through his brothers whenever they try to hide something from him.
Tumblr media
Leo: Hey buddy. Trouble sleeping?
Donnie: What’s with the interrogation, Leo?! Everything's fine I said!
Tumblr media
Leo: Huh, it's like someone who wears a red bandana really hurt this guy's feelings once. Strange.
In both the episodes 'The Purple Jacket' & 'Sparring Partner' Leo seems to imply that he suspects or knows things that Donnie & Raph were trying to hide showing how well Leo knows his brothers as he can almost immediately tell if they want to hide anything. Leo's tendency to see through his brothers whenever they try to hide anything possibly means Raph's attempts at bending the truth probably did not ever fully work on Leo with Leo most likely aware that Raph wasn't being fully truthful with him in those moments.
Considering that Leo often picks up different traits from his family members it is possible that Leo saw Raph telling their brothers about trash monsters to get them to clean their room or saying training started earlier than it did to get them to show up on time & ended up with a conclusion of 'oh it's okay to twist the truth or lie to get people to do what you want & since Raph does it it's fine' which possibly led to Leo's face man persona & ability to talk his way out of things.

Hi,Ummm,good morning/night
Can I request something regarding the Rottmnt boys,I want them their love at first sight with a female reader in a school ay(More like a mix between the Yokai/mutant/human society
(No rush,It's ok if you don't want to do it and stuff,It's totally fine to take your time☺️,Have a nice day/night)
Love at first sight
Aged up! Rottmnt x fem! Reader
(somewhere around their 20s)
Warnings:
None
A/N: this was so hard to do for me for some reason (especially Mikey and Raph), i had to think for a few days for certain scenarios and this might come late bc i rlly want it to be good. Im sorry if it isnt what u expected 🙏
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You were an English teacher who recently started working at a new school. Youre quite nervous, but exciting at the thought of what awaits you with this sudden change.
Donnie
- Donnie was one of those strict science teachers that nobody dared to underestimate.
- At first, he didnt seem too interested when he heard of a new teacher who started working there.
- hes never even been a romantic type, he honestly didnt care and let fate decide if he gets a partner or not.
- When he saw you for the first time though, he thought he might be hallucinating.
- "Oh sweet Galileo help me.."
- you probably immediately checked his "cute but mean" type without even saying a single word
- He became more interested in you, talking to you more often, even at times asking u to meet up during the break.
- "Hey, uhm.. Could i maybe interest u in some coffee during the break?"
- he thought all of this "romantic feeling" thing wasnt real, but he seriously cant help but fall for you.
Leo
- Leo is obviously the laid-back cool Spanish teacher.
- Almost every student liked him, he was chill and even jokes around
- (he once drew donnie on the board with a huge forehead and wrote "megamind" next to it)(no, donnie did not take that well)
- He was quite interested when he heard of a new teacher, hell he was probably the first one to interact with you out of his brothers
- The second he saw you, this mf fell straight face down in love with you
- "oh mi gosh thats the new teacher?! Shes gorgeous! Do you see her Donnie?! You see her?! Oh i so need to get her number!!"
- tries to act sly and flirt with you
- and fails miserably
- "Hey there hermosa, how do you feel about a date? Ya know, just you and me? *Wink wink* *leans on wall, trips and falls miserably*"
- (A/N: i cried writing that)
Mikey
- Mikey is the sweet art teacher and students enjoy being around him, but yet again they probably wont dare to underestimate his "Dr. Delicate touch" side
- He was quite excited when he heard about a new teacher.
- When he saw you, he suddenly felt nervous and flustered. And he knew why.
- at this point, everyone but you knew abt how he admires you, a little more than in the friendly way.
- He couldnt get the courage to go and talk to you, which put Dr. Feelings to shame
- When you actually started talking tho, you got quite close.
- Youd be with him almost every break
- You would often stay in his classroom/art studio and watch him paint during the lunch break
- and during those times he even asks u to pick his colours
- "Hey Y/n, which colour do you think would suit the ladies dress more? Red or blue?"
- Sometimes you even jokingly ask to be his model, but in all honesty he doesn't mind at all
- you guys were an inseparable duo, and he caught himself falling more and more for you
Raph
- He's the PE teacher, hes fun but strict when he needs to be.
- He doesnt mind that theres a new teacher, hes quite excited abt it actually - he would gladly want to meet you.
- First thing that catches his eye is that he thinks youre really pretty.
- He's most likely stuttering during ur first convo now😭
- Hes super sweet, bringing you coffee and/or lunch, helping u out with random teacher stuff, checking up of u, ect
- "Hey! How you feeling? I brought you some coffee.. if youd like."
- Hes so shy, but he cant help but feel his heart flutter every time you thank him or show appreciation towards him
Tumblr media
A/N: Raph was so hard and i know it's not accurate at all. Ive literally been beating my ass up bc of him cuz i didnt have any ideas😭😭 this took super long and I'm really sorry about that, i hope it turned out the way u wanted🙏 anyways its 1AM so im js posting this cuz i have nothing else to do😔

I saw "a soft and unsure kiss" and immediately thought of Bayverse Leonardo. Maybe the kiss gets a little more sure/desperate as it develops? (If yanno what I mean *wink-wonk*)
Ooooooooh I'm picking up what you're putting down anon 😏
Bay!Leo x Fem!reader
Breaking Point
Warnings: leo and reader are over 18. Don't be weird. Tension, kissing in the dojo 🫢, spelling mistakes, pinning the other down, smootching, I went a bit ham, sorry I just love kissing leo,
Tumblr media
Leo never thought getting a new sparing partner would be a bad thing.
After years of fighting his brothers, his father had no some reason, allowed you to join the training sessions.
You, a long-time friend of the turtles, had sat in on many, many sparing sessions. Always sitting on the sidelines, bouncing with energy of wanting to try.
But the boys never let you. It was too dangerous, given you didn't have the training like they did.
So you took matters into your own hands. You and April became gym buddies, going a few times a week, learning and building up muscles to prove your testosterone driven friends wrong.
Then you enlisted Raphs help with some exercises, and before long, you went to Splinter and asked the all-important quiestion.
Which was now three weeks ago, and it was the worst best weeks of his life.
When he first met you, Leo was drawn to you. You were smart, brave, and so determined. You cared so much about him and his family, and he fell head over heels for you.
So now he was screwed. Very screwed.
His brothers never really cared for sparing, choosing to go do their own things after training ended and Splinter went off to meditate.
Which meant another hour....alone in the dojo....with you.
The hot, sweaty, cramped dojo where Leo was certain your cropped top kept getting smaller and smaller.
It was a simple white V-neck shirt, but whenever you lifted your arms above your head, he saw the underside of your sports bra peeking out. And sweat that dribbled from your temple went down your neck. And he could see its whole trail as it disappeared down your chest.
Get yourself together, Leo!
He shook his head, turning away from you to continue stretching.
"So, how was it?" Your shadow casted over his shoulder. He tensed, looking up at you, illuminated by the ceiling light.
"How was what?" God, his mouth was so dry.
"The training!" You bounced on your feet, playfully punching his shoulder. "Raph said I'm really getting better, and I'm not as worn out as I normally am! That means I'm getting better...." as he continued to stare blankly up at you from the floor, your confidence wavered. "....I am getting better, right?"
His heart fluttered. You were looking to him for reassurance.
He shot up, towering over you, trying not to stare at the blush on your neck and chest. "Yes! Yeah, you're doing awesome."
You smiled in return.
"It's nice actually having a sparing partner who wants to be here, the others are kinda just over it," Leo kept talking, rubbing his sweaty palms on his sweatpants.
"Yeah, it's fun!" You always had a lot of energy. It's one of the reasons you got along so well with Mikey. It was also why the rule existed that you and Mikey will not be left alone unsupervised.
Leo then realized that it had been the extra hour, and you would return to the surface. And today, he felt a strange feeling come over him.
"Wanna go again?" He panted. You looked up, thought about it, then smiled.
"Sure, why not?" You shrugged. "I have no other plans today."
It started off with simple moves and blocks, Leo couldn't really spar with you out of fear of hurting you, but he could push you around.
You, on the other hand, had to use almost all your strength just to...to well do anything to him.
But the others had let you in on a few secrets about their brothers sparring patterns.
Leo turned slightly away from you. You moved your leg, hooking it around his ankle and pulling your leg back.
He yelled, losing his balance, arms flailing. You grabbed his wrists, using your knee, pressed into his side, and you pushed him to the floor. Your hands pressing his wrists beside his head, you practically sitting on his chest.
Breathing heavy, you looked at each other. Faces inches apart, chests heaving. Suddenly, the red flush on your skin wasn't from excersion.
Realizing what exactly was happening, you lessened your grip on his wrists.
"Sorry...I-" you cut yourself off, unsure of what to do. You know you should move, but did you want to?
He licked his lips, eyes wide, and craned his neck up. Leaning down, your lips met.
Unlike the....steamy....dreams you'd had about the brave leader in blue, your first kiss wasn't hard and firm.
But soft, like a summer breeze or a feather. He was so tense under you, clearly waiting for you to pull away and smack him.
Bless him, he was so nervous.
Pulling away, you smile down at him. "If that was supposed to convince me to throw this round, it didn't work,"
"You drive me insane," He growled, biting at your bottom lip before taking your lips in a firmer, more confident kiss.
"Is that such a bad thing?" You mumbled against his lips. Your hands let go of his wrists, cupping his face and deepening the kiss.
His hands grabbed your wrists, thumb rubbing your pulse point.
"It wouldn't have to be." Leo panted, pulling away and giving you the most honest and sincere face you'd ever seen from him. "If you were mine,"
"Good, thing I already am," You kissed him hard, biting his lip, making him groan as you slipped your tongue into his mouth.
In a calculated move, you were rolled over onto your back, Leo hovering over you. Spreading your legs, he nestled himself between them, laying on his forearms, pulling you as close as humanly possible.
You ran your hands up and down his sides, making him shiver.
His tongue led the dance, moving and pushing against your own, making you moan softly against him.
The room felt even hotter and cramped now, with him using just enough of his weight to keep you pressed to the floor.
He pulled away, sucking down air, then peppered your jaw and neck with kisses.
And even though it was fantastic, you could still feel Leo holding back. You kissed his neck, going up his jaw. Speaking softly, you felt his body shiver.
"Can't believe Mr. Honor Boy himself would defile the dojo in such a way,"
He pulled away, one hand grabbing your hair and pulling your head back to expose your neck.
He bit in the flesh, leaving little marks. "If you think this is bad, waiting till I have you in my room,"

Nicknames ~ Ninja Turtles x reader
Headcanon: bayverse Turtles x reader
Word count: 1.5k
Warnings: SFW, fluff, slightly mature themes (rated 17+, see my masterlist for disclaimer)
A/N: some silly headcanons I thought up about what nicknames the turtles would use for their partners. lemme know ur thoughts 🤭 enjoy!!!
__________
~ Leonardo ~
imo Leo is not suuuuper into nicknames, but he will use some. just nothing too over-the-top for this turtle in blue
he's not a huge PDA guy in general, but he knows that you think it's super cute when he's affectionate
so using a sweet nickname for you is one of the ways in which he is publicly affectionate
his favorite name to call you is "princess" because let's be real, this man is 100% treating you as such
"hey Lee, could you do ___ for me?" "anything for you, princess."
but he will also call you things like: love, beautiful, gorgeous, etc.
because he always wants you to know how much he cherishes and loves you
examples are as follows:
"hey beautiful, how did work go today?"
"are you hungry, gorgeous?"
"I'm gonna go meditate, love. would you like to join?"
just as he cares for his brothers in an almost parental way, he's very nurturing and attentive with you
and he definitely tends to talk to you with a soft voice because you're his delicate and precious flower and he just wants to protect you alwayssssss🥹
you tend to refer to him by his full name, "Leo", or just "Lee"
but he LOVES when you call him handsome, so that's definitely your go-to
it makes him feel like he's the only man on your mind, which is 100% the case, but he loves the reassurance
you'll also use "love" back at him, or "honey", or "babe".
ever the romantic, one of his guilty pleasures is when you answer the phone, greet him, or wake up next to him with a "hey, stranger"
that has his heart fluttering and his face flushing every time he hears it
all in all, he's not a super showy guy, but will take such good care of you and do whatever you need to make you feel loved, and you just want to do the same for him
~ Raphael ~
okay this man is big into nicknames, and I know this is a fact so I am not taking criticism at this time!!!! like, tell me I'm wrong. you can't!!!!
he has a bank of nicknames for you that he uses to come off as cool, flirty, and witty
trustttttt that these are what he uses in public to show his relationship off to his family and friends
he definitely used these nicknames w you before you two started dating as a way to flirt or pick on you (🤭)
because he'll be using these nicknames if he's being sarcastic or facetious
^and these nicknames are: dollface, shorty, tiger, and sweetheart (again I am not taking criticism at this time! I am simply spitting facts)
examples:
if he's training you in the dojo: "you got yer work cut out for ya, shorty." 
every time he greets you (or after a hello kiss): "hey there, dollface."
if he sees that you are getting annoyed: "woooah, easy there, tiger."
if you're starting to get on his nerves: "aight, listen here, sweetheart--"
HOWEVER, in more intimate moments with this guy, he can be a lot more tender, and you'll catch him using names like: baby, doll, or babygirl
"baby, if I ever lost ya, I don't know what I'd do." 
"thanks for listenin', doll."
"come lay with me, babygirl."
at the end of the day, you are the light in the darkness for him, and he is going to make it known to you
as for how you refer to him, you tend to go with either more complimentary nicknames ("big guy" or "big boy", "hot stuff" or "hot shot", etc.) or more jokey nicknames ("hothead", "meanie", or "Raphie")
but secretly, Raph's guilty pleasure is the sound of your voice as you say his name (😉), because it's just a constant reminder that you are his person, a dream come true
and you are aware of this fact, so you like to use it to your advantage
if he's in the middle of something and you need his attention, you know that saying "Raphael," in a low voice and beckoning him with your finger is going to have him dropping everything and sprinting to you
he may act all big and mean, but deep down he's a huge simp <3
~ Donatello ~
like his oldest brother, Donatello is not huge into nicknames
I would argue that Donnie is probably the least likely to use a nickname with his partner
I think this is because tbh you are the most special person in the world to him, so your name is already his most favorite word on the planet!
what better way to describe his special person than with the most special word?
just like he does with his brothers, he's going to repeat your name over and over again when he wants to show you something, but you find it much more endearing than annoying
when he does use a nickname with you, it will be something short and sweet, like honey or darling or sunshine ✨(edit: OHMYGOD U GUYS I forgot abt dove!!! this is something he 100% uses. too cute!!!)
examples:
"hey honey, I fixed your computer screen for you!"
"just five more minutes, dove, I promise"
"do you think I'm a geek?" "no, but I think you're a dork." "thank you, darling."
"I love when you keep me company, sunshine. as the name suggests, you brighten my days!"
he repeats the last one all the time, but even though it's cheesy, it makes you giggle every time
if you're ever feeling especially down, he'll softly sing the "you are my sunshine" song to comfort you and make you smile. it never fails, and his voice isn't that bad!
similarly, you don't have a ton of nicknames for him either, but you will use honey back to him
and you'll call him "cutie" because you know it will make him flush immediately
ESPECIALLY around his brothers. if they hear you call Donnie a cutie, they will tease him about it to no end
he gets all flustered and acts annoyed, but he secretly loves the nickname. 
like Raph, Donnie loves to hear you say his name. it fills him with a sense of pride, knowing that you're his partner in crime. or, as he likes to phrase it, partner in science😎
he will never tell you, but one of his guilty pleasures is when you sternly say "Donatello," as you scold him for working too hard
after you've finished scolding him, he'll let the smile break out on his face and pull you in for a big hug
you always do your best to take care of him and show him how much you love him, so he'll always try to do the same for you
~ Michelangelo ~
as we all know, Michelangelo is BIG into nicknames. definitely the most likely of the turtles to use nicknames with his partner. this is definitely an inarguable fact
he has probably called you every name under the sun; every name that his brain can come up with
his most-used are definitely: sweet cheeks, angel cakes (of course!!!), babygirl, little mama, and babe
but he will also use things like: honey bun, sugar, hot stuff, angel face, love bug, cutie patootie, ohmygod the list goes on and on. 
it's almost like a game he plays with himself, attempting to fit a new nickname for you into each sentence
examples:
on the phone with you: "are you coming down to the lair today, angel cakes? ... wellllllllll, do you think you could bring some pizza with you, little mama? extra cheese? ... pleeeeEEEAaaaSE my gorgeous sugar-bear honey-bun sweetie-pie?"
his brothers, overhearing him on the phone: "SHUT UP, MIKEY!!" 
you watching him break dance: "see my sick moves, sweet cheeks? this skill is all for you, baby girl!"
him being needy: "babe, can you just come to bed? come be my little love bug! I'll give you a massage?"
he may annoy his brothers but he could never annoy you, and you always gave into his sweetness
you were not quite as creative with nicknames as he was, but you still have a few up your sleeve
like his two oldest brothers, Mikey loved when you called him "handsome" or "big guy/boy". it makes him feel like a badass being called those things by his beautiful, attractive partner
"are you gonna walk me home, handsome?" "you really think you can beat me in mario kart? you're on, big boy." ohmygoooood, he's weak in the knees!!!!
you'll also refer to him as "babe" or "baby" on the regular, the second of which his brothers also tease him for
"awe, little Mikey's just a baby. ain't that cute?" Raph always comments, laughing with Leo in the corner
but Mikey didn't give a rat's ass (sorry Splinter). he loves showing off your relationship and bragging about you, especially to his friends and family.
you are easily the greatest thing to ever happen to him. and not only that, but you are a total babe! he scored big time.

Hey so if you haven’t already had this one yet ,
I’m really getting into the southern accent right now so how would the boys react if y/n used nicknames only for them including sugar, sweet heart and doll?
I just think it would be so cute !
Thank you and remember to eat and drink drink something:))
a/n: heyy sorry i’ve been off for so long just been really busy recently Xx 
Warning: swearing
Raph:
He loves your accent!
Honestly so soothing for him
Usually gets you little things just to hear you call him nickname
“Aww thanks sugar, you didn't have too”
Blushes so red whenever you call him that
Like really red
He really likes when you two just cuddle after not seeing each other for some time and he just loves to listen to you ramble on about your day
“I reckon, she was pulling a hissy fit!”
Leo:
Leo always doing dumb shit
He try to do good but messes it up and everyone get mad at him
So you there to comfort him
“You have a good heart honey, just a fuzzy head”
Got that from helluva boss ^^
I think i spelt that wrong^
idc^
Finds your accent really funny when u get mad
Half the time he just doesn't understand what you're saying
Loves it
Donnie
When he first met you he didn't really care for your accent 
But now he always wants to hear you talk
Will spend hours on calls with you when hes working on a project just to hear you talk to him
Loves when you call him darlin’ 
Can and will melt into putty when you do so
“I’m going to jerk you bald! or I’m going to skin you alive!”
Finds it hot when your mad
Cute and mean
Hatesss when your mad at him though
Your accent becomes like a comfort thing for him
Mikey
I feel like he would love to listen to you rant on about stuff to him
The longer hes around you the more phrases he picks up
“Love ya doll”
Blushes SO FUCKING HARD
Will learn to understand you when your angry and your accent becomes really thick
Will do things for you just to make you melt and say “awww bless your heart”
He WILL Giggle like a school girl

You're the best writer i have found on this platform, you're literally Soo wholesome and friendly, i love you SOOO much 😻
I have a request for bayberse turtles, I saw your fic about the turtles lil sis having a boyfriend.
Soo let's make it angsty:
Reader comes back from a date, the boys noticed the reader covering their face and having an odd behavior.
When they talk to them, they discover the reader found her boyfriend cheating on her, the reader got angry and frustrated at them so, her and her boyfriend got into a verbal fight, that's when the boyfriend loses it and punched the reader on the face leaving her with a black eye.
After the reader's finish, she can't stop crying.
I can see fire in the boys eyes after this
If you feel uncomfortable with this you can ignore it.
Remember that we ALL love you and you're the best 💕🤗
ANON I AM CRYING- YOU'RE SO NICE LIKE 😭😭 YOU THINK I'M THE BEST? REALLY? ANONNNNN- 💕💖💕💖💕❤
Tumblr media
BAYVERSE BOYS, AND READERS TOXIC EX
So uh, trigger warning, themes of physical abuse, cheating, angst/comfort.
....................................
You walked into the Lair slowly,
God you hope your brothers were sleeping.
Or at least out on patrol.
Then you'd have sone time to cover this bruise.
Your face was soaked with tears as you speed walked to your room,
You cringed when Leo called out to you.
"What, no hug for big brother?" he teased,
You did your best to even out your voice as you faced away from him, "No, uh, not tonight. I don't feel good, don't want you to catch it."
Leo chuckled, walking up to you, "(Name), you know we don't get sick as easily as you."
He put a hand on your shoulder, and you flinched away.
Leo quickly pulled away, and his eyes widened with worry.
"(Name)? Are you ok? What's wrong?"
You sniffled, you couldn't help the tears flowing faster down your face as your hand covered the growing bruise on your face.
"Nothing. I'm f-"
Leo grabbed your shoulders, then spun you around to face him.
He searched your face, then spotted you covering your cheek.
"Show me." he whispered.
You shook your head rapidly, trying to pull away from Leo.
It felt like you physically couldn't speak, you felt so ashamed.
Leo huffed, then grabbed your other wrist and pulled you into the dojo.
There sat your other three brothers and you felt your breathing pick up.
They looked cheerfully up at you until they saw your tear stained face and Leo's worried expression.
"What happened?" Raph asked, standing quickly.
"I dunno, she won't tell me."
Mikey walked up to you, and gently grabbed the hand you used to cover your bruise,
He moved the hand from you face and you felt your tears pick up as your brothers reacted exactly how you expected they would.
Donnie cupped your face, examining the bruise as he fretted over your safety,
Mikey looked on the verge of tears simply at the thought of you getting hurt,
Leo still gripped your hand, and he squeezed it gently,
Raph crossed his arms, his face was stoic and angry.
The only emotion you registered from yourself was shame.
"What happened?" Raph repeated.
You choked back a sob as you spoke, "H-he cheated on me." you said, looking down at your feet, "I- we got into an argument, t-then-" you sobbed, "He hi-hit me. He hit me."
Raph pulled you in for a hug, and you sobbed into his plastron.
The boys shared a look, then nodded.
Raph pulled away, and smiled comfortingly, "Listen, Smalls, how about you hang out with Dad for a little, ok?"
"Where are you guys g-going." you asked, still sniffling.
Mikey patted your head, "Don't worry about it. We're just gonna go pick up afew things, ok?"
"Ok." You muttered, and you followed your brothers into Sensei's room, Donnie went in first, no doubt to explain what was going on.
You sat next to your dad, leaning into his side as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder.
"Would you like some tea my dear?" he asked gently.
You nodded, and the two of you stood to go to the kitchen.
Your brothers however,
Were on their way to kick your ex's ass.
Not that you needed to know.
No, it's better that you don't.
So when they return to the Lair with gallons of ice cream, and a very worried April,
They don't tell you a thing.
You all pile into the living room, and watch all your favorite movies, eating outrageous amounts of ice cream.
You fell asleep rather quickly, exhaustion was a pretty powerful thing.
But you fell asleep knowing just how much your family cared.

hey so how do you think the turtles rottmnt would deal with having a s/o and Casey slips up a “Mr/Mrs Hamato” to the s/o and it dawns on s/o right away what that means and if their turtle picks up on it and brings it up. S/o remains silent until then with yes or no answers when usually they’re way more talkative. S/o is like “Don’t you dare start. We’re on mission and we’re too young to be talking about this right now” Makes it sound like it’s an option when they’re both 30 or something, but they’re panicking by hearing this news right now, they’re making excuses not to talk about it, and they clearly need time to process it? 😂 (s/o does want to marry their turtle eventually, but this news freaked them out. Even the krang alien didn’t freak them out as much as knowing they get married to their boyfriend does).
HAISKEKEKR YES
Rise!Turtles when Casey Jr calls their s/o “Ms/Mr/Mx Hamato”
Donnie
Tumblr media
Donnie would probably do a double take…then a triple take
Bros just standing there like🤨”tf?”
When he finally processes it, he corrects Casey
“Ah, but that is where you are wrong. (Name) isn’t my spouse. We’re just in a romantic relationship, but not legally married.”
Yeahhh he goes into the technical stuff about it
Casey explains it’s just habit since you and Donnie hang out a lot
Eventually Donnie doesn’t seem to care, sometimes he might use it to tease even
“Yes, I would agree that’s a good plan. And how about you, Ms/Mr/Mx Hamato? What say thee?”
Not quite as flustered but more in the confused side of things
Leo wouldn’t stop teasing him, Raph occasionally would tease
Mikey is just doing little happy stims in the corner because of how adorable he thinks it is
(Donnie likes it but will never on Galileo’s name admit it)
Mikey
Tumblr media
Seems confused at first but wraps an arm around your shoulder before explaining
“Oh! No, we’re not married! Not yet, at least. (Name) is just my partner!”
Istg he’s so wholesome about this I can’t-
He’d use it but not in a teasing way (50/50 he will whisper it just to see your reaction)
The others seemed confused considering Mikey was the youngest of them all and there was no way they could even imagine him getting married at that age
Even they correct Casey, again explaining that you two were only dating
Mikey does get used to it but always gets excited to hear it, clinging onto you tightly and giggling
Leo
Tumblr media
SMUG. ASS. BITCH.
Bro grins from ear to ear, nodding
“Ms/Mr/Mx Hamato~? Damn, I never thought you’d love me so much as to take my last name~?”
Yeah you bonked him over the head with your phone after that
(He whined…A LOT)
He’s constantly teasing you about it, like 24/7 constantly
There have been a few times where he’s accidentally said it without realizing and it has confused literally everyone in the room
Like he says it on accident and they’re all just “🧍”
He didn’t even notice! He just thought you guys were quiet!
Later in the day he does realize it and then face palms himself while his face heats up
Sometimes if the others tease him and he’s had too much of it he’ll bury his head into your neck </3
Raph
Tumblr media
My big man Raph
The dude
The guy
The silly
He just corrects Casey, doesn’t even feel flustered
Okay maybe a bit…
No he’s very flustered
He won’t admit the tho…(ids obvious he is)
Raph would correct him and probably wouldn’t tease you
If he would it would probably be after a long day of fighting and you both would be too exhausted to even think too much about it
“Jeez…You did good today…Ms/Mr/Mx Hamato…”
You looked at him confused bc like
Did your sweet innocent kind caring Angel of a boyfriend tease you?
If you’re too quiet afterwards he might think he said something wrong so don’t do that </3
He really doesn’t mind the whole thing but honestly he has thought about it being a real thing one day
-
Thank you so much for your request! Feel free to leave something else if you’d like! Have a wonderful day/night!! <33333

Hello!! Could you please either write a scenario or Headcanon for either rottmnt or bayverse x reader for pining turtles (turtles with a crush on reader) and how they try to “romance” them? Who’s more upfront who isn’t it? What kind of gestures they do? Please and thank you
Rise Turtles Pining for Reader
Originally I was going to do both Bayverse and Rottmnt but I wrote this pretty late and couldn’t come up with many ideas for Bayverse. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Raphael
I feel like Raph is the kind of person to act casual around his crush and then freak out later
He’ll get excited around you and try to show you extra care
He’s also going to be very worried for your safety
If you had plans to go over to the lair and end up being 10 minutes late he’s already picturing the worst
Raph does try show off his muscle and strength sometimes
Particularly if you watch him train it’s a huge confidence boost
But his favourite moments are when you get to watch him win against one of his brothers while sparring
Oh come on you totally cheated. Sorry Leo rules are rules. That was awesome Raph! O-oh Y/N! Thanks.
He is a gentle giant so you can expect fairly small hand gestures
Hands clasped, arms crossed maybe a small wave
And of course he’s giving out the best hugs of all time
While he may be pretty chill about his feelings, if you flirt with him it will have him a flustered mess
I’m talking you won’t be able to tell his face from his mask
At the end of the day he just really wants you to like him and will always be there for you
Leonardo
Oh boy, here we go
The second Leo realised he liked you there was no more peace
You won’t get a single moment alone because this boy will just be everywhere
He’ll try every pick-up line he can think of and will find any excuse to flirt with you
The guy has no shame because he makes it look like a joke
Spoiler alert, it’s not
Have I ever told you I think you’re beautiful No, why? Cause you’re beautiful. Aww thanks Leo. *kisses on the cheek* *Dies inside*
While Leo might act confident on the outside if you try to flirt back with him his heart will instantly melt
But he’d never show it of course, he’s too cool for that
He is also a complete drama queen so his hand gestures are naturally large
Lots of pointing, pretending to faint, open arms, you get the idea
However Leo might also use smaller hand gestures when he’s feeling nervous or guilty
He might be twiddling with his thumbs or rubbing his arm with his hand
Another important thing to note is that he loves to show off
He’s got fighting moves, skateboard tricks, video game scores, comic collections and more
He loves you, wants you and will let you know loud and clear that he’s in love
But he’s only “kidding”
Donatello
Donnie is far more reserved in comparison to Leo
He also has a very complicated idea of what he wants
He wants you to know he likes you without you knowing he likes you
That being said there are a lot of different ways to tell if Donnie is pining for you
He’ll feel more comfortable with you in his lab vs others
Lots of gifts and is always free for whatever favour you need
You can expect to be given more privileges around his tech
But that’s also because he wants to impress you with it
He might also make small comments to hint he likes you
What were you thinking!? Ah but you see my sweet beautiful Y/N, he wasn’t thinking. Donnie quit flirting with your girlfriend and come save me! Not my girlfriend…*whispers* yet.
He’s the kind of person who will admire from afar and won’t try to get super close physically
Although if he’s really excited then he may give you a hug or two
His hands are usually closer to himself as well
Arms crossed, hand on hip, very generic and nothing that’s too out there
Hand flaps all the way
And you can bet that after every moment you two have he’ll be in his lab celebrating like there’s no tomorrow
Because a dancing Donnie is a happy Donnie
Michelangelo
Mikey just goes with the flow
Wait he likes you! Oh well, time to show tons of love and affection
It’s hard to tell if he likes you or not because he acts the same way around everyone else
Lots of physical affection, big hugs, warm smiles, hand holding
One unique thing you might be able to nitpick at though is his kisses
That’s right, Mikey will constantly be kissing your forehead or cheek if he gets the chance
You’re also one of his biggest inspirations
The amount of times this turtle will tell you to hold your pose so he can sketch it
He wants you to understand that to him you’re beautiful and inspiring
Compliments are another big thing for Mikey
He won’t stop telling you how pretty, smart and cute he thinks you are
Hey Y/N do you mind standing right there for a second? Uh sure another drawing? Yup! Sorry you’re just so pretty I can’t stop drawing you. Thanks Mikey that’s really sweet.
Mikey’s hand gestures, I think we can all agree, are big
Arms open wide all the time
He is definitely more upfront about his feelings and is just waiting for the day he can open up and say he loves you
I hope this was similar to what you wanted. Have an amazing day/night wherever it is you are!✨

Rise! Raphael x reader
fluff :D, gn reader, romantic
soft raph hcs :(
Tumblr media
- the first time you told him you loved him he just said “thank you” out of panic but tbh it was the funniest shit ever and his brothers never let him live it down.
- More than happy to help you with anything, he is doing it ALL for you.
- Opening and holding every door for you
- You can’t reach the top shelf? Don’t worry, Raph’s got it.
- You need help carrying your groceries in? You need help changing that lightbulb? You need someone to walk you home? Literally anything at all? He’ll be there in 5.
- You’re tired? Sure, he’ll carry you!
- He would pick up hot coals directly from a fire with his bare hands if you asked him to.
- He loves quality time and the little things! Like watching movies, playing games together, having lunch together, almost anything! All that matters to him is that he’s with you.
- He is so scared that he’ll accidentally hurt you yk cuz he’s big and spikey :( so, so gentle
- Treats you like you’re made of glass sometimes
- you make him very nervous, he’s scared he’ll say or do something wrong
- he lacks confidence sometimes, poor Raphie
- will explain all of the Lou Jitsu and Jupiter Jim lore to you as best he can + would insist that you watch all of the movies together (he just wants to spend time with you but he doesn’t know how to just say that)
- tries really hard to think of gifts that you would like
- protective and always looks out for you, not in a possessive way but in the way that he just wants to keep you safe yk? they got a lot of enemies
- “LEO! I told you not to make a mess!” “It was me, sorry-“ “don’t worry about it, let Raph take care of everything.”
- He wants to take care of you. It’s just how he’s used to showing his love.
- esp from his dumbass brothers (Mostly Leo. Donnie and Mikey USUALLY let you live in peace)
- -> “I thought I told you to leave Y/N alone!” “Whaaat? I was just saying hi!”
- Softens and completely drops his usual intimidating, angry demeanor whenever he sees you and the quick switch is painfully obvious. He just thinks you’re so cute. but don’t worry his brothers won’t forget to point out how obvious he is (LEO)
- idk why but I feel like he would have some kind of stuffed animal that you guys act like it’s your child and you take turns taking care of it 😭 yk what I’m talking abt?
- one time he accidentally called you babe in front of Leo, Mikey, Donnie, and April but denies it ever happened
- -> “Hey Raph! Remember when-“ “NO THAT NEVER HAPPENED IDONTKNOWWHATYOURETALKINGABOUT-“
- would never let anyone say anything bad about you
- really appreciates your private moments when you two are alone, he feels much more comfortable this way
- Hesitant, but he will be vulnerable with you because he knows he can be without judgement.
- Please give Raph any kind of reassurance and he is misty-eyed. Tell him he has nothing to worry about, that he is a great leader and boyfriend and you’re proud of him, too many things to list. TELL HIM HE’S PRETTY.
- He LOVES to hold you to his chest, it makes him feel like he’s keeping you safe that way.
- Stares at you all the time, and is embarrassed if you catch him. “sorry-“
- if he were to call you a pet name, most likely to call you ‘baby’ or ‘babe’, maybe even a ‘babydoll’ if he’s feeling bold
- very very sweet overall :(

ROTTMNT Headcanons:
Every single person in New York knows who the turtles are  
They know their full names, ages, birthdays, social security numbers
They know everything about them they just don’t care  
Because the turtles keep to themselves and keep the city (kind of) safe they pretend like they can't see them  
But anytime there's a fight they think “the boys (and April) are at it again” and then they avoid that area like the plague
The boys (and April) share most of their stuff (i.e., clothes comic books, and action figures) with some small exceptions  
So, it’s not uncommon to hear someone yell “who took my sweatshirt! Come on guys you know that’s my favorite”
Or the occasional “are you wearing my shirt in that photo when did you even borrow it?”
April had a stash of the boy's sweatshirts that she’s been “meaning to give back” for 6 months now
Leo has given up hope on ever getting his 4town t-shirt back (if you think the boys didn’t watch Turning Red, you're lying to yourself)
April has a Disney+ account that they all use because Donnie said “if you can steal my tech to impress your girlfriend, I get to watch Treasure Planet as much as I want”  
And then the boys complained and said April was playing favorites
And now they all have the password
Every single Wednesday they sit down and have a movie marathon  
To keep the peace Raph made these rules “two boxes of pizza per person, one bucket of popcorn per person, and everyone gets to choose one movie”
Those rules fly out the window the second he conks out
Mikey’s movie always has to go first because he usually falls asleep within the first 30 minutes of the marathon  
Raph has to go next because he usually passes out after Mikey, they make fun of him for it every night  
Depending on how busy her week has been April will either fall asleep before or after the twins but she usually puts up a good fight (mostly cause she’s scared Leo will draw on her face)
Leo and Donnie always compete to see who can stay up the longest and again it usually depends on what kind of week they’ve had
Donnie is used to staying up late working on his tech but if his week was stressful, he can't make it past the fourth movie
And Leo is the resident insomniac who can't go to sleep unless he’s bone tired or medicated  
Honestly most nights they don’t know who went to sleep first because they pass out within seconds of each other
They both claim they won and everyone else calls in the tie  
Leo April and Donnie all secretly get together on Tuesdays and have a movie night of their own  
They find the worst movies at the bottom of the bargain bin and watch every single one
Donnie spends the night picking the movies apart while April and Leo laugh their asses off
Honestly, Donnie would have stopped coming to this meetup months ago because these movies are so damn frustrating to him  
But it’s nice to see April and Leo so relaxed so he watches the shitty movies they’ve picked  
Fridays are set aside for April and Raph to just relax they play soothing music put on face masks and just talk about anything and everything  
Saturdays are always Mikey and April days and they do a whole bunch of things sometimes they go to the mall, or they spend the day baking a cake, or painting
And sometimes during the really stressful weeks, they just sit next to each other and rest
And Sundays are April's alone days no one gets to text her or call her unless the city is falling apart  
The boys used to feel bad because they thought their friend was tired of being around them  
But then April kindly reminded them that she is an introvert at heart and even though her brothers are her people if she doesn’t get some alone time to recharge, she will have a mental breakdown  
Donnie pointed out that April probably wouldn’t want to leave the house on these days so the boys decided that every Sunday they would deliver her favorite games, snacks, and drinks on Donnie’s drone  
The first time they did it April almost cried (who’s she kidding she bawled like a baby) and gave them the biggest hugs on Monday

You know those aus? Where the characters are combined or 'fused?'
I've been thinking about that under the circumstances of a tmnt crossover fic. Where this combination is unwilling.
So the way I can see this going means it absolutely has to involve rise, which I also like because it allows for funky designs. Some mission in the hidden city, possibly involving big mama because ✨drama✨, and each boy is fused with their counterpart.
This can be very different depending on the iteration, so I'm just gonna write down vaguely I imagine each one being:
Leo: Slightly obsessive with training. He's passionate, but maybe a bit too much. He's a great strategist, but is unfortunately bad at explaining his plans to his brothers. The more anxious he is, the more talkative he becomes, usually spouting quips to distract himself. Has knowledge with a bunch of different weapons, but prefers the classic katanas.
Raph: Anxiety. This boy is stressed at all times, and the only way he knows how to mask it is by grouching, or hitting things. The people around him are infuriating, especially because they keep asking all these questions. Like, he's just one guy, why can't they get that? Raph carries both his sai and tonfa, but will more often fight with his tonfa.
Donnie: Very smart. Their brain processes information very fast. They like when things make sense. They're also the only fusion aware that they're a fusion, which, like Raph, they are not a big fan of. Their fusion is the least stable, defaulting to we/us and preferring they/them over he/him, though both are acceptable. They don't remember what each button on the tech bo does, but they do have a staff with a taser on each end as a comprimise.
Mikey: Wholsomest boy. The only reason he doesn't know about the fusion stuff is that the Aprils and Caseys don't want to burst his bubble, but they're all pretty sure he could take it. Big fan of art, he loves to cook as well but due to conflicting knowledge they don't do it as much as they would separately. He loves the extra long chain he gets from rise Mikey's kusari-fundo, so he uses that, though similar to the Raph's sometimes they'll carry around nunchaku as well.
~~~
So yeah, the supporting cast were not on this mission and thus were not turned. They received an emergency alert from rise donnie's systems while everybody was being fused, which is the only warning that they got.
It's mostly on Draxum to make a fix, but it's unfortunately not that simple because they're from different dimensions. Casey JR (is it alr if I call him June because I'm gonna fair warning it's instinct) tries to help where he can, but his knowledge is limited. There's a big argument between the Aprils over whether or not informing the Mikeys of the situation and letting them help would speed things up or not.
The issue with telling them, is Raph's very much denying the information. They know about it, but they refuse to listen. The Donnie's took a lot of convincing as well, and the topic clearly causes them a lot of distress, though they refuse to explain exactly why.
That's all I've got for right now. But if anyone wants to help me make this a solid au, please shoot me an ask. Please. I'm begging. I really want to have more to say about this but I need someone to pick my brain.
Tag is forced fusions au!

Relationship headcanons for all bay!turtles?
So this turned more into a 'how did you and the turtle(s) start dating' type of thing, hope that's okay
Bay!Turtles Relationship Headcannons
Leo:
Say hello to 'slow burn' 👋
This boy pines for you
Long stares, strong eye contact and obvious feelings....but this boy is too nervous to ask you out at first
He memorizes any and all details about you whenever he can
He stares....a lot. He just thinks you're so pretty
He really likes your laugh, he'll do almost anything to hear it, but he doesn't like it as much when he isn't the one to make you laugh
The "first move" He ever made was movie night. Since it was October, Mikey picked a horror movie, much to your dismay and protest. You were shaking the whole time and when the villain went to attack the main character, you jumped and buried your face into his shoulder with a mumbled. "Tell me when it's over," His hand gently rubbed up and down your back as you shook in his arms.
Afterwards you sheepishly thanked him, holding his hand for a little bit too long as you were leaving.
From them on you sat by him every movie night. It's kinda your thing™️
If you spend the night he will offer you his room. And no he won't stay in there with you, he's too much of a gentleman with anxiety to do that.
But he likes it because then his pillows smell like you
He's so nervous to be around you when he realizes he's crushing on you. He just wants to touch you. Not in a sexual way, but touching your shoulder when he walks by, hugging you hello and goodbye, snuggling, anything.
He melts when you yank him down for a goodbye hug after one movie night. You tuck your face into his neck and sigh deeply and he knows he's done for
After being friends for a few months you finally get him to stay in his room with you when you're spending the night.
But he's putting all the blankets on the floor...?
"Leo?" You sit up in his bed, peering down at him. "Are you going to sleep on the floor?"
"Where else would I sleep?" He pulls his blanket over his lap.
"In bed."
"With....with you?" He turned a few shades darker. You nod, scooting over and patting the free side.
You can see how he's shaking as he stands and comes over to the side of the bed. He awkwardly sits down, sweat dripping down his face.
"You don't have to, if you're too uncomfortable," You whisper, reaching out to touch his arm.
"I've just worried I'm going to mess this up," He mumbles back, taking your hand in his and running his thumb along your knuckles.
"You're not messing anything up,"
He let down some of his walls and finally decided to open up to you....literally the next morning.
He was too nervous to sleep under the sheets with you so he's laying on all the blankets watching you peacefully snooze.
After a bit you wake up and exchange some "good mornings" and then he just straight up tells you he's got feelings for you
He tells you everything, his first impression of you, how beautiful he thinks you are, how he loves your personality and how he can't imagine himself with anybody else
And you're staring at him with half lidded eyes still trying to wake up. After you come to you confirm your feelings for him as well
He likes it when you watch him during training so he can show off his moves
Movie nights are still your thing™️
Please let him play with your hair, it's all he wants
After a bit (and lots of talking) he's finally comfortable with sleeping under the blankets with you. He uses you as a body pillow <3
He writes you poetry and puts them all around your apartment for you to find when he's not around so you'll always be thinking of him.
Raph:
Say hi "I'm touch starved but am terrified to initiate anything" 👋
Bro is shaking in his boots when he first sees you. You are STUNNING. and way out of his league.
Sure he flirts, and he thinks you're doing it back, but he doesn't believe you'd ever flirt with him
The ball really gets rolling when you stand up for him at a Halloween party. One of Verns stupid rich friends made a comment about his appearance and you came out of knowhere and ripped them new assholes.
Respect 📈📈📈
After that he starts coming to you and just talking. He likes talking to you because you listen. You're engaging in what he's saying and not interrupting him.
He vents a lot to you, he feels kinda guilty about it but it's just so easy to talk to you.
You and him go back and forth bantering for far too long, but things get really interesting when a cop starts to hit on you at another one of Verns parties.
Raph comes up to the creep to tell him to back off. The cop scoffs and continues flirting with you. Raph opens his mouth to tell him to kindly fuck off when...
"Actually, it's been...great....chatting with you but me and my boyfriend have to get going, I have an early morning at work tomorrow,"
Raph's jaw dropped.
Boyfriend. You said boyfriend.
The cop also freezes, allowing you to take Raph's arm and lead him to the door. In a daze he walks you home, even though it's freezing out, he's sweating.
He sheepishly asks why you called him your boyfriend while standing on your apartment roof.
"I hoped it would get that guy to shut up, why? Did it make you uncomfortable? I'm sorry I didn't-" You ramble, turning red.
"It's fine, I'm not uncomfortable," And I want you to call me it again.
"So, it didn't bother you?"
He shakes his head, wiping his sweaty palms on his pants, looking down at your shoes.
"Would you mind....mind if maybe I called you that again?"
"You....you want to call me your boyfriend again so the cop will leave you alone?"
You laugh, one hand touching his forearm and the other tilting his chin to look at you. "I want you to be my boyfriend, Raph"
His heart stopped.
From then on you two and inseparable. He adores the ground you walk on and is always showing off how even though he's not the best looking guy in the room, you chose him.
He knits you things all the time and his heart skips a beat when he sees you wearing them. Especially the mittens, your hands are so cute and small and fit perfectly inside the mittens he made you.
He may not understand your hobbies, but he loves hearing you talk about them
He almost passed out when/if you asked to workout with him. And don't think it'd be all funny sex jokes and stuff. This boy will make you a full workout routine based on your weight/height/strength and what you want to work on, he takes this seriously.
But if you don't workout that's fine too! If you even just sat with him in his workout room he'd be happy.
He laughs his ass off when you sass his brothers or put them in their place (respectfully and within reason)
I don't think he'd be jealous if he saw you hanging out with his brothers. Their always going to be a part of his life and seeing you getting along with them makes him happy. It's the two people he loves most in the world getting along.
Your name in his phone is either "babygirl" or "nice ass" there is no in-between and no it never changes.
Donnie:
Say hi to "I can't tell the difference between romantic and platonic interactions and genuinely have no idea how to flirt or be flirted with" 👋 (yes this is me projecting)
Bro literally can't tell if you're just friendly or have a crush on him.
He knows he's got a crush, he realized it a few nights ago when Mikey was making dinner and you were going to come over and he set up all your favorite plates and got your food all ready and Mikey made a comment.
"Why do you have Y/n's favorite meal memorized?"
Why did he have it memorized?
It was then he started to realize just how many things he knew about you, he unintentionally studied you
He knew which blanket was your favorite, what your favorite kind of shampoo was, and so many other things, he couldn't keep track.
But he felt conflicted, he liked you, but did you like him?
It wasn't until Halloween one year that you finally came clean. You were both hanging out in his lab and he asked what your costume was going to be.
"Well I was hoping to be your girlfriend/boyfriend/partner,"
He stared at you for a solid 30 seconds before it registered in my brain.
"Wait, you like me?"
Say hi to "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm glad you're here 😊" Donnie
Bro has read thousands of blogs/books/posts about relationships, he's watched so many movies and shows about love. But the moment you guys start dating it all goes out the window.
He kinda follows you around like a lost dog for at least a week. He's very nervous he's going to say or do something wrong
His heart melts whenever you hold his hand, whether it be him walking you home or just hanging out in his lab
EVENTUALLY he gets over his nerves and actually initiates stuff (not your first kiss though) he likes kissing your forehead/cheek/nose when you bring him coffee, and he likes when you rub his shoulders and hug him from behind when he's at his computer
He quickly learns his love language is physical touch, quality time, and words of affirmation. (Not that you mind, he deserves it all and more)
Your name has a heart in his contacts
He loves matching things, mugs, clothes, necklaces, key chains, anything. Everytime he sees that object he thinks of you and just starts smiling like a fool
Sit 👏 in 👏 his 👏 lap 👏 while 👏 he 👏 works
He makes you a step stool so he doesn't have to bend in half for a kiss. (He doesn't mind but his back does)
Mikey:
He's adored you from the moment he saw you
Even though he's a massive flirt, if he senses you're uncomfortable he will chill out. He doesn't want to make you upset
You can talk to him about anything. I mean everything. This boy is not squeamish and (if you have them) will listen to you talk/rant about your period with no judgement
He's very compassionate and empathetic and often puts others need before his own, so when you actually genuinely ask him if somethings bothering him, he's gonna fall for you hard
You are his best friend and he'd do just about anything for you
But he keeps chickening out every time he goes to ask you out cause he's terrified you'll reject him 🥺
With him I feel like he'd finally confess his feelings during a family game night if yall end up playing spin the bottle or 7 minutes in heaven.
As per the rules of romance Mikey's bottle lands on you and now he's sweating buckets with you in his unekpt closet.
He starts rambling, not meeting your eyes, talking about everything from the shirt you're sitting on to the weather.
You find it endearing that he has no idea how into him you are, you're a bit bummed cause the timer on your phone is about to go off, but you let him get all his rambles out. Just as there's one minute left, you place your hand on his bicep, leaning in you place a quick peck on his lips with a whispered "Maybe next time," before leaving the closet and rejoing the family.
He doesn't sleep that night.
He calls you the next day, pacing around the room, and still rambling
"I...I just don't get why you did it," He runs a hand down the side of his face, chuckling dryly.
"Cause I like you,"
I'm sorry what
"You....you like me? Like like like me?"
"Obviously, dumbass,"
And you've been dating ever since. Your nickname changes on his phone weekly, from your favorite color, to you favorite food or TV show, or a fun new name he made up for you, but they always end in a <3
You 👏 always 👏 cook 👏 together
Cooking is his love language. You don't have to be good at cooking, he wants you to help but he's happy if you just sit on the counter and chat with him
You co-own all his clothes and he has no problem lending you anything (he's missing 5 pairs of underwear and hasn't even batted an eye)
He falls for you a little bit more everyday. Sometimes it's seeing you nap on the couch, or awkwardly answer your phone under your chin while your hands are dirty, or even making small talk with Splinter while he makes his evening tea.
His favorite is when you grab his hand or arm when walking together, especially in public. He likes the stares of people realizing he's got a hot babe like you at his side.

On a slightly different note, I can't wait for Friday because that's when I'm going to see the Fnaf Movie! Oh my, my childhood self is unimaginably excited. Fnaf was a significant part of my childhood and helped me get through traumatic experiences. Even if this movie turns out to be not great, it doesn't matter; the important thing is to have fun. Overall, thank you for the compliments on my writing, and I wish you a great day too!

Leonardo
◇I think he would be the most supportive and at the same time the most annoying of the turtles.
◇At times, he can read from your sentence what word you mean when you have trouble finding it and say it during the conversation.
◇Other times, he'll slyly chuckle when you stumble over your words.
◇Apart from that, despite your English-speaking troubles, he loves listening to your speeches in Spanish.
◇You can talk about World War II, and he'll gaze at you with hearts in his eyes.
◇You have an agreement: you teach him Spanish, and he teaches you English.
◇You often goof around during those lessons, Lmao.
◇Not a big fan of foreign dishes, no hard feelings for Spanish food; he applies this rule to any food that doesn't come from America.
◇Not as eager as Donnie, but still open to trying on Spanish traditional costumes.
◇Get ready for him to take a photo of both of you and set it as his wallpaper.
◇Dancing? He's in >:D
◇Unlike his twin, it took him a while to get the moves, but now he tears up the dance floor with you.
◇He often visits Sr. Hueso to annoy him with compliments about you. He almost got banned from that restaurant.
◇Imagine the mischievous discomfort when you met a skeleton and spoke *only* in Spanish. Hello! He wants attention too!
Raphael
◇He totally gets you when it comes to the difficulty of finding the right word. I think Raph had the most trouble with speaking, so there are times when he can't find the right word either.
◇However, unlike Leo, he absolutely can't predict what word you want to use, and it always leads to misunderstandings.
◇Then you grab your phone and look up the translation of that word from Spanish.
◇He likes your voice when you speak Spanish, especially when you're talking to someone on the phone.
◇You probably won't teach him your language, but he'll pick up some words on his own to make you feel better, so you don't think he's ignorant.
◇If you cook him a dish from your country, you might as well prepare your ring finger for an engagement ring BECAUSE HE LOVES TRYING NEW THINGS!
◇Especially if you cook it <3
◇I think he would especially love Paella and Patatas bravas.
◇When it comes to clothing, nothing has changed - our dear turtle won't fit into anything :/
◇But what's stopping you from going to the Hidden City to get clothes styled after Spanish traditional attire?
◇In general, he wanted to dance with you, especially Flamenco (that's all he associated with dances, lmao), but he was too clumsy for it and kinda ruined the fun a bit.
◇He felt a bit guilty even though you honestly said nothing happened.
Donatello
◇Sometimes the guy gets annoyed when you can't find the right word in English, but he won't help you with it for the life of him at that moment.
◇Honestly, he sees it as motivation for you to improve your English.
◇Jerk.
◇Only when April convinced him did he create a small device for you that works like a translator, but one that actually works.
◇Although he sometimes enjoys listening to you speak in your language, don't expect him to understand anything, at least not when he's working on a new innovation.
◇He'll look you straight in the eyes and say he doesn't want to learn Spanish, but secretly he's cramming like never before.
◇Oh, you have no idea how much he loves your shocked expression when, after a few weeks, he effortlessly starts speaking basic Spanish to you. It's a good thing he records everything and can replay it indefinitely.
◇When it comes to food, he won't eat everything, especially if a Spanish dish has a relatively strange texture.
◇And even though it's a dessert, his favorite food is Flan. Sweet Boy.
◇You don't have to tell him twice - he'll put on traditional Spanish clothes and feel *divine* in them. He'll also proudly show them off on the next stream.
◇You don't even have to convince him to try dancing! There's a reason his nickname is Bootyshaker9000.
◇He'll dance with you from Flamenco to Paso Doble.
Michelangelo
◇He'll patiently wait until you find the right word in English.
◇If you really struggle, he'll be the first to suggest using any random online translator.
◇Sometimes he might make fun of your accent, but it's relatively rare.
◇No problem listening to your conversations in Spanish; honestly, it's helping him slowly understand certain words.
◇He'll even be thrilled if you suggest teaching him Spanish.
◇But now you'll have to be very patient because he totally sucks at learning languages. Sorry not sorry.
◇Spanish food? Absolutely :DD
◇He loves your Empanadas the most: good, hearty, and filled with love from you.
◇He won't turn down Spanish dances from you, although he might mix in some hip-hop moves during it. Idk, just a feeling.

I'm in Hell
SPOILERS FOR SYMPHONY CHAPTER 22 - THIS POST IS LONG YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
I'm so Unwell. I have never had any misunderstandings like the thing with Donnie, but I have been betrayed by someone who was my best friend for years, so this chapter... it's hitting me really, really hard.
---
When Leo first met Vi, he was studying her a lot. Remember the near-physical weight his scrutiny had felt like? You feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. ... like a pinned rabbit ... you see an obsidian edge beneath his smile that feels a little sharp as you lean into it.
And then later in her apartment:
[Leo talking] “…You know what really got me interested in talking to you?”
“What?” you ask, tilting your head. 
“Donnie came back from talking with April and he was talking about you."
This is literally Vi and Leo's first time meeting - I don't think Leo started to really hate her until after she started coming to the Lair and he saw how Donnie reacted to her presence, but he mentions that Donnie talked about her already. It's framed within Vi's mind as him being careful with his family. He's the leader, he's careful around new people, he wants to make sure she isn't a threat, etc. But even though this is before the touch thing started, there could've been the seed of hatred already there depending on how Donnie spoke about Vi to Leo.
---
He [Leo] peers at you like he can read your life story where it’s written on your soul. ... “…You don’t have a lot of friends, do you?” he asks, his voice soft and yet cutting you all the same.
and this:
[Vi talking] “I had a lot of fun tonight. I’d… like to have more nights like this one. To. To have a family. If I can.” “You can,” he [Leo] says
He knew from the first fucking time he met her that she was lonely. That she wanted friends, wanted a family, wanted to belong. He knew that better than anyone else in the family, not only because of her saying this to him but also because of how well he reads people and how much time he spent with her. He's the only one who has seen her in her apartment, too, caught her in those few vulnerable moments in her home. I'm so fucking angry.
There are so many times in the fic that... I can't even articulate... here's some quotes early on -> "you hate how much you like this guy [Leo]" and "you smile when you see [the text notification is from] Leo" and when Vi is sick in the store she says "I miss Leo" and on and on. And that whole fucking time! He was!! UGH!!!
---
When Vi agrees to make Leo some bread so that maybe he can get some of Donnie's apology cookies he texts her "ttyl i gotta go rub this in donnie’s face" and yeah that's him being a little shit as always, but it's ALSO proof of him using EVEN THEIR PRIVATE TEXT CONVERSATIONS as ammunition rile up Donnie.
---
Hey look! Bits that hit different/hint at more going on/might be Leo's mask slipping!
“How long do we hafta wait before she ain’t a guest anymore?” Raph asks, causing you to snort a laugh. 
“That’s up to Donnie,” Leo says, voice heavy with an undercurrent of meaning you’re not picking up on, causing you to look at him with a raised eyebrow. He smirks, reaching over to poke your cheek with his finger. “Y’know. He’s the one who met you first, and all that.” 
…Something tells you it’s more than that, but he’s good enough at hiding it that you don’t feel comfortable calling him on it in front of the others.
...
you have no idea how you fit in [to the family], and Leo had all but told you that the space is here, ready and emblazoned with your name on it. You don’t quite see it yet, even if he apparently does.
...
“Yeah, don’t worry about it. It’s complicated,” Leo says easily, and it’s only just, but you pick out the thread of iron bars in his tone, ready to come crashing down if you push even a little too hard. So, you don’t.
“Okay,” you say easily, causing him to get that piercing look he gets sometimes, the one when he feels more like a ninja than a funny turtle man who tries to see how many cookies he can shove into his mouth at once and sends you pizza rat memes at four in the morning. “…Dude, we’ve been friends for like, a week. It’s cool that you aren’t ready to spill your guts yet, you know that, right?” 
His eyes go sharp, but then he hums and smiles. You feel like you did the night you first met him, like there’s a test here and it’s in a language you don’t understand. It’s a bit uncomfortable, prompting you to grab your own drink and swallow a healthy bit of it just to have something to do.
...
[Vi talking] “…He [Donnie] seems lonely.”
Leo hums under his breath, cutting a portal that feels a little like home. “Well, lucky he has you, then.”
...
“Uh, I met her first,” Donnie says, scowling, while Leo just gives him a smug look. 
...
You do, however, lean in while the others are occupied, whispering to Donnie, “So, ten dollars, which one of them tops?” and laughing when he chokes. You catch Leo’s eyes and give him a devious grin, spying him look to Donnie with a curiously blank look before shifting to a catty smile of his own when he looks back to you
...
“One portal home for a lovely lady,” Leo says as he steps through, his face going a little flat when he looks over your shoulder to Donnie behind you.
...
Leo is… astonishingly quiet for a moment, his face blank of anything for you to read as he stares at the piece hard. Then he looks up at you, and you see an unusually capable person that doesn’t feel like your best friend, even as much as it feels like the real Leonardo, here for the first time for you to see.
...
[Vi talking] “I don’t… I don’t like keeping secrets. Or lying. Not from people I care about.” 
The weight of Leo’s eyes is almost physical. It makes you remember that he’s asked you to keep secrets, and your eyes snap to his, wondering if that’s the reason why he’s gone still like this. “I—I haven’t told anyone. About the ninja thing, or the Krang thing. I’d never—”
“I know,” Leo interrupts, threading his hand through your hair so he can cup your nape and press your forehead to his own. “I trust you.” You release a sigh of relief, nodding. “I’m just… thinking it might be time for us to repay that back.” 
You blink, gaze darting between his eyes. “I don’t… what do you mean?”
“We’re a pretty close-knit family. There’s a lot of… baggage. A lot of history. A lot of stuff we haven’t told you. And it’s… it’s starting to feel a little disrespectful,” he says, looking a bit displeased. “You’re one of us. It’s only fair.”
---
We all know about the constant comments Leo makes about being Vi's "favorite turtle" and "best friend" in front of the others/in the group chat. He talks in Chapter 22 about purposefully draping himself across her and pulling her close, hugging her, scenting her, touching her in front of Donnie to piss Donnie off. But there's all these other little things that seemed so innocent at the time and now I'm losing my mind wondering about each of them, wondering - is that something he did with malicious intent? How many nice things were ONLY done to piss off Donnie? There are so many times that he compliments her - for example:
“What? I can’t compliment my bestie and her fine legs?” Leo coos, reaching over and flicking your nose gently.
“Leonardo,” Donnie warns, folding his arms.
And I remember, during my second read through after I finished Chapter 20, being so happy and grateful that Leo was pretty consistently giving her compliments, because she deserves to be complimented and taken care of and loved, because she deserves good friends who hype her up, and this WHOLE TIME-
(Side note - that time that Leo complains she smells like Donnie's lab, he shoves her away and she falls to the floor. First read, it's just Leo being playful. Second read, I wonder... is that a little bit of his frustration getting out of him in a physical way? He shoved her to the fucking floor, and then, once Donnie shows up, Leo pats the cushion next to him for Vi to sit by him. Then he wraps his arm around her and pulls her in close to smell her. But that's only after Donnie shows up.)
When Mikey takes Vi's So-Shell profile picture -> “Wha—?” you start, only to feel Leo leaning in to smoosh his cheek against yours, the distinct feeling of bunny ears brushing the back of your skull. Once again, this is in front of Donnie. Plus it's for her profile picture, so that means every time Donnie sees her So-Shell profile he'll see Leo in the picture, too. Leo was also famously the first like on her first So-Shell post and gets her to always leave nice comments/emojis on his thirst traps.
When she comes to the Lair to practice with her viola, Leo offers up HIS room first, and only once she declines does he -> “Ugh, fine, you are so boring,” he says, and removing his arm, he shoves at your shoulders hard and pushes you through the portal. (Pushing her onto the floor, pushing her through the portal... he's kind of rough with her in the beginning, and I figured it was just because he's haha silly funny turtle man, physical comedy, joking around whatever but... again I wonder. Is he letting himself be a little rough as a way to express his true feelings?)
God, all these little things that... might have an ulterior motive and might not.
It's around the time Vi gets bruised up by that guy at the coffee shop that Leo seems to start actually acting like a real friend, in my opinion. “…You don’t even get how incredible you are, do you?” he asks, causing you to roll your eyes. “You seriously don’t see it.” 
The very next chapter he gets a glimpse of her being anxious over not being able to play, while she notices that he looks tired, invites him to listen to music and lets him sleep on her back, and in that chapter it says: you sit, quiet, letting him use you. My second read through, this line hit me hard because I KEPT noticing that she really does nothing but GIVE and I feel like she's constantly doing things to be useful to others. And now, as I'm skimming through a third time, it turns out that... yeah. Yeah. He was fucking using her. In Chapter 22, Leo says "then you reach out and touch me in a way no one has. You’ve helped me, even though I was just using you" and I'm thinking this is the moment that that really started. When she first let him sleep on her. And that's also the first time he churrs with her. After that, he gets her really nice sushi, and she thinks he's guilty for drooling all over for her, but I think maybe he was guilty because he's starting to realize how nice she is and how shitty it is that he's using her like that, even though he does continue those manipulative behaviors.
---
He sighs, his face going openly affectionate. “…You’re so…” 
What he thinks you are, you don’t know, as he chooses instead to pull you into a hug. You go easily, seeking the comfort of his embrace, hoping he can feel in your arms that you truly do mean what you said. 
“You know, instead of sorry, you should say—” Leo says, though as his face gets close to your throat, his mouth snaps shut and he goes still in a manner that reminds you a little of Donnie. 
“…Leo?” you ask, going to pull back from the hug to look into his face only to feel his hands go tight on your back, holding you close while he dips his beak to your skin and inhales. When he does pull back, he’s got a look of shock on his face that he quickly schools into something more neutral, but barely. 
This is where he smells Donnie on you for the first time, and the guilt he was starting to feel, the actual genuine affection he was developing for her, may have then been interrupted/overshadowed by his anger.
Vi was right to say she isn't gonna go back and examine every detail, because it's so fucking MUDDY! There are glimpses of true softness from him sprinkled throughout with him ALSO still hanging over her and doing shit that pisses Donnie off on purpose. And then of course the scene with Leo in the kitchen when he scares her, where we get the first big glimpse into his true anger about the whole situation, where we see him being sharp and cutting and dismissive and- I'm not going to paste in that whole scene, but he's so, so, SO angry. When she has that visceral, terrified reaction, he feels so bad (I do think he was genuinely, truly horrified that he scared her), but then he finds out that Vi and Donnie are (as far as Vi is aware) dating, followed by her telling him that Donnie misses touching his brothers, misses hugs, followed by Leo deciding to tell Vi about all the family secrets... so he's wrestling with this rage and jealousy, but he's also starting to really accept her as family (I think, since he shared the info about the Krang, about Lou Jitsu, about Casey, since he asked for her help)...
It kills me that, after that, he saw her trying so hard to help, like when she went to the library and got books on PTSD and fell asleep taking notes and she wakes up with a blanket covering her and a little blue heart on a note - he saw her doing that, on top of everything else she CONSTANTLY does for other people, for his family, and HE STILL, EVEN AFTER THAT, DOES SHIT THAT'S MANIPULATIVE. THE 4TH OF JULY PARTY, FOR EXAMPLE. “What she said,” Leo purrs, his fingers fluttering on your stomach as his eyes cut off to the side. He has a sharp look to his features that you’re a bit too drunk to dissect, so you just ignore it. He HAS to be looking at Donnie, here.
(Side note - we still don't know what Leo was doing when Vi was in the shower getting ready for the party... if anything. Maybe he really was eating cookies.)
It's at the end of the party that he smells sex on Vi, I think, for the first time. And the following chapter is when he starts avoiding Vi, and she goes to confront him and he says he's "Thinking about things. About what I want.” And THAT'S when he finally stops his bullshit. Ch 22 - "I stopped. Completely. After we talked in my room.”
---
I'm still working on fully re-reading Chapters 17+ until I make it back up to 22 and putting more thoughts into that post, but. Dear God. Sam is a genius and I'm so angry at myself. I had been so confused and angry with Donnie, when in reality he truly DID NOT KNOW about the misunderstanding between him and Vi. Meanwhile, as I'm fawning over Leo and so happy Vi has him and so grateful he's been such a good friend to her... he was the one using her, this whole time. I cannot believe it. I'm SICK with rage. I can't imagine how Vi could possibly... I can't... FUCK dude
