Leosagi enemies to lovers AU (based on the song: Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay) where Usagi works for Big Mama/A Crime Boss and him and Leo cross paths a lot but instead of Leo falling first it's Usagi.

So something like this:

Leo /Usagi

(this song does not in anyway belong to me, please go check them out)

Leo:

☆

I just really hate your face

Though I know that won’t surprise you

But, to me, your skin is one giant wart

And your laugh’s one big snort

And you stink, so, in short, I despise you~

☆

You disgrace the human race

‘Cause you’re more of a mosquito

I would rather have the dentist and drill

Then this swine in the swill

And if you were a bill, I would veto~

☆

And if the world was perfect

You would be gone without a trace

But since the world could never be that great

I’ll just hate your stupid face~

☆

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~

(after a few more accidental meet ups)

Usagi:

Oh no...

Nooo...

✧

I just really like your face

You don’t have to look so happy!

I’m not really into love that you flaunt

In some glittery font

But if that’s what you want

Make it snappy!

✧

I just feel so out of place

Well, except for when you’re near me

When you’re gone, I’m like a plant with no root

Or a song that’s on mute

Don’t you dare call it cute!

You should fear me!

✧

And if the world was perfect

You would have never invaded my space

But since the world’s obsessed with saying “psych!”

Now I like your stupid face

✧

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

✧

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

(A reluctant betrayal)

Leo:

✿

I just really miss your face...

Though, by now, I must disgust you

I had tried to be the stubbornest mule

‘Cause I knew life was cruel

So I guess I was foolish to trust you...

✿

But I wait here, just in case

Though I know I’m being senseless...

How could I have ever been so naive

And wear my heart on my sleeve

When I knew it would leave me defenceless...

✿

And if the world was perfect

You would be here in my embrace

But since the world denied me one last kiss

I’ll just miss your stupid face

...

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...

(cue signature Leon stubbornness to not give up on Usagi)

"Usagi!"

"Leonardo? What are you doing here?"

"I- I wanted to see you again-"

"Leo-san there is nothing to say. You saw me as I am, a monster, and even ran-"

"I didn’t run away! …It was a strategic retreat!"

"...."

"I wanted to, to talk-"

"What is there to talk about? It’s over—I ruined it."

"No you didn't! I know that wasn't you! And I know how sorry you are, aren't you?"

"Well yeah, of course I’m sorry, but—"

"Then that's all I need to know, and I've already forgiven you Usagi, without hesitation."

"No- no! Don’t forgive me! Why do you do that? Why give me another chance to mess things up... ?"

"Because I.... I... "

"... Because you WHAT ?!"

Usagi:

★

Those three little words

Out of the blue

Completely uncalled for

Especially from you

★

Why don’t you hate me?

Why do you care?

Can’t you berate me? Isn’t that fair?

Where is your glare?

★

Don’t you dare leave our problems and pain on the shelf!

Because if you don’t hate me, I can’t hate myself...

★

But that’s why I need you

You shatter my fear

‘Cause despite my misdeed

You are still right here

★

Though it’s stupid to date me

You’re willing to try

And if you don’t hate me

Then why should I?

"Are you sure you don't want to give up on me?"

"Uh- yeah, pretty sure dude."

"You're a moron...”

Both:

♡ ♡

So you think that we could work?

Here I thought I’d been the dumb one

("What?") You’re forgiving me for all I did wrong

You’re unmuting the song

And again, I belong to someone

♡ ♡

No- You can drop the stupid smirk

Though, by now, I guess you’ve earned that

‘Cause no matter how intensely I pout

Your stupid face will win out

And I guess it’s about time I learned that

♡ ♡

And though we go together like a Chanel No.5 and mace

At least it’s not as dull as fitting like a glove

‘Cause you’re a nightmare that I’ve not been dreaming of

But I suppose that when push comes to shove

("Fine.")

I love your stupid face

♡ ♡

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

"Your stupid face."

🌹 General Audiences

🌹 5k Words

🌹 Written for the Grab A Slice TMNT Bang!

Leonardo Hamato had a crush on Yuichi Usagi.

This was a fact the teenage turtle had struggled with admitting to himself for a while now, mostly due to both his underlying insecurities, as well as never being a fan of the cliché lovesick feelings that a crush brought with it.

Yet after many long and awkward conversations with April— the only person he knew wouldn't make fun of him since his brothers would definitely never let him live this down— about what the heck was one supposed to do when they felt these sort of things, Leonardo Hamato came to the grand resolution of confronting his feelings head on!

Hey guys, Alice here! Today I come bearing my first ever ROTTMNT fic and its made specifically for the Grab A Slice Bang on Twitter!

I've been looking for the opportunity to make something sweet and fluffy with my Leosagi headcanons and now here we are: the brainriot ACTUALLY paid off!

And most importantly, this fic features artwork but lovely artists who helped in bringing it to life. The first one being by @jordyn-jpeg and the second one by @dont-throw-sand! Please go give them a follow!

Leonardo Hamato had a crush on Yuichi Usagi.

He was a flirty guy, absolutely. But that was never meant to be taken seriously. It never meant to become real— To let him be vulnerable.

Meeting other Yokai such as himself and his brothers was always a treat for him, since it gave them a sense of belonging in an otherwise hostile world. But there was always something different about Usagi that set him apart from the rest of the inhabitants of the Hidden City.

Despite having a rocky start after meeting at Run Of The Mill Pizza— his brothers finding the bunny holding Señor Hueso with a katana to the throat as he interrogated on a matter that turned out to be a misunderstanding on Usagi's part, but still left some rather nasty first impressions of each other— the duo ended up finding common ground rather quickly.

Usagi was a farmer boy who wanted to become a samurai just like his ancestor, and as such his grandmother suggested he travel to train in the Hidden City. This very much matched Leo's own goals of becoming the strongest ninja just like Lou Jitsu. And even though Usagi was taught that ninjas weren't to be trusted, he was quick to open up to Leo and the others after realizing the kind of people they were.

There was also the fact that they shared a similar sense of humor. Whenever Leo told a joke and everyone groaned in annoyance, the rabbit would snort, and even retort with a cringy comeback of his own.

They both liked exploring what the human world had to offer.

They each cared deeply for their families, and would do whatever it took to protect them.

Heck, they even had the same goofy and reckless personality that had others wondering if they needed to be watched over.

Leo found all of this to be part of a great friendship, which was why the realization of his true feelings was like a bucket of ice cold water dumped over his head. Although technically he didn't come to this conclusion on his own.

One day in the lair, the turtle brothers were getting ready to start one of their infamous skateboarding tournaments, taking full advantage of their day off. But as soon as they were about to begin with wheels at the ready, the blue ninja got a text message. It was from Usagi, who promptly reminded him of their previous arrangement to go shopping for new training clothes, if he wasn't busy.

Mikey inquired if they could get back to the fun, only to have Donnie utter a sentence that would leave Leo's blood running cold.

“He can't. Leo has a date with his boyfriend, so we're going to have to make do with a player short.” His voice sounded nonchalant as he said this, which only angered the twin further as he felt heat creeping over his face.

“He's NOT my boyfriend! And you guys better wait for me or else everyone's getting a mustache in their sleep!” Despite trying to sound semi threatening, his voice gave way and the others merely looked at each other with smirks gracing their features. After stomping a few obstacle courses on his way out, Leo huffed in annoyance at the pink in his cheeks that just wouldn't go away.

He tried to brush it off as one of his brother's regular shenanigans to get under his skin, but it was almost as if a switch had been flipped in his brain and certain thoughts began to arise.

Like how he never noticed how darn cute his rabbit friend actually was. Everything from his little pink nose, to the softness of his fur, to the way his eyes would lit up in excitement at the mention of ancient ninja/samurai history.

Or how selfless and kind he was to everyone around him, no matter who they were or how they treated him— be it Yokai or Human alike.

Small details that Leo either took for granted or simply never took the time to pay attention to. And it all had his stomach doing backflips that left him breathless each and every time.

As such, after many long and awkward conversations with April— the only person he knew wouldn't make fun of him since his brothers would definitely never let him live this down— about what the heck was one supposed to do when they felt these sort of things, Leonardo Hamato came to the grand resolution of confronting his feelings head on.

Operation ‘Rabbit Conqueror’ was in full swing! What could possibly go wrong?

Leo's first attempt was something simple.

He wanted to get his feelings across in a subtle yet charming way, his specialty for sure.

As such, he decides to invite the bunny boy over for a night of Lou Jitsu binge watching and pizza galore, and makes special note of doing this when no one will be home. Splinter has gone out to discuss some important stuff regarding their mystic powers with Draxum, while his brothers go to April's for a sleepover, which they hadn't done in a long time.

Leo turns down the offer saying he already has plans with Usagi in the city, which April already knows about and actually offered herself to help in the blue ninja's plans by keeping the others at her apartment. Raph in particular finds it rather odd, but doesn't question it.

“Mikey just plugged in the console on the TV. They'll be here a while ;)” April's text quickly flashes across Leo's screen, leaving a small smile on his face. He'd have to properly thank her later.

“I still can't believe the others didn't wanna join us. You sure you don't wanna wait in case they can make it?” Usagi's voice brought Leo back to reality, which caused him to turn and look at the rabbit who was already getting comfortable in his seat on the couch, yet held a questioning look in his eyes.

Quickly pocketing his phone, the blue ninja chuckled as he approached his friend. “I already told you it's fine! They've already seen this one like, a gazillion times! Plus they'll take blowing up alien tech over staying at home any day.”

Leo told Usagi that his brothers were out testing new technology that Donnie had cooked up thanks to the weird advancements from the Krang invasion. Why wasn't Leo with them? Because he was tired after a week of non stop patrolling and he just wanted some time to chill with his favorite fur ball.

“So then, my good sir! Why don't we start the evening with a delicate cuisine from the finest restaurant in all of New York?” The turtle then proceeded to pull out a box of pizza from Señor Hueso's seemingly out of thin air, placing it gingerly on the plastic table in front of them. Usagi's expression quickly lit up, but the moment he reached to grab a slice, Leo's hand gently swatted him away. “Ah ah ah! Patience, my friend. We cannot have the ultimate pizza experience without soda! What kind of monster do you think I am?”

Rubbing his hand in fake annoyance, the bunny boy rolled his eyes with amusement. “Man you're obsessed with this stuff, I hope you're aware. Might even need medical attention. Just hurry up, I'm starving!”

With a wink, Leo quickly made his way to the kitchen where their bubbly beverages were waiting.

The plan was simple. Ahead of time, the blue ninja had written something on the inside of the pizza box's lid. He tried thinking really hard on a good pick up line that best showcased his abilities as a comedian as well as flirting, which ultimately led to something straight out of a bad romcom— ‘I know it's cheesy, but would you go out with me? <3’

The line made him giggle aloud as he was serving up the drinks. It was so perfect yet so stupid, all in the best way!

As soon as he gave Usagi his drink and let him open the box, the samurai would surely swoon and find himself a blushing mess in an instant. Or at least that was the plan, since the idea of those soft fluffy cheeks going pink in embarrassment brought a goofy smile to the blue ninja's face.

Yet that fantasy was shattered the moment he heard noises coming from the living room.

Not really knowing what to expect, he made his way over with the drinks in hand to see what the fuss was about, only to have his stomach drop in an instant.

“Yo, Leo! Why didn't you tell us you guys were watching Lou Jitsu without us? We would've come back sooner!” Raph spoke with a mouthful of pizza as he lounged on one side of the couch.

“Well I guess Leo didn't wanna interrupt your fun. I'm glad you could make it, though— the more the merrier!” Usagi, as clueless as ever, spoke with a smile on his face as he held a slice of pepperoni in his right hand. Confusing the blue ninja's disappointment with confusion, he responded. “They came in a few minutes ago. I'm surprised you didn't hear them!”

“Guess I was stuck in Usagi land…” Leo thought in despair. Trying not to let it show on his face however, he turned to Donnie, who sat cross-legged on the floor with cheese dribbling on his fingers. “I thought you guys were gonna stay at April's.”

“Yeah, her mom ended up coming back from the hospital earlier than planned. So we had to reschedule. Angelo! Any more salami over there?” His twin spoke nonchalantly yet again and quickly changed the subject to more pizza as he turned to their youngest brother.

Mikey, who sat right in the middle of the couch and next to Usagi, replied with a hint of guilt as he sported a sheepish grin. “Sorry, Dee! Got the last one… Oh! Don't worry Leo! I saved you a slice!” As Mikey waved the aforementioned slice in the air for his brother to see, Leo's eyes immediately went to the discarded pizza box on the floor, stomped on and totally wrecked from the massacre.

A buzz in his pocket followed soon after, which he fetched only to find a single text from April looking back at him. ‘My mom didn't get called on overtime after all. I'm sorry :(’

Attempt #1 for Operation ‘Rabbit Conqueror’ was a bust.

Despite the obvious disappointment at his plans being fouled over, Leo didn't let it deter him in his quest. Second attempt!

There were so many different ways someone could confess their feelings to another. And the next one on his list was the wonderful art of gift giving.

There was always something about Usagi getting him small gifts that left Leo completely entranced. They were always simple things like charms or trinkets he'd find in the market that reminded him of the turtle, but it was clear from all of that that the bunny boy was someone who appreciated a good present.

Which was why this time, he ended up enlisting the help of his father for this particular task.

Usagi had commented how he'd been looking for a new training sword for a while, complaining that the one he currently owned was one he had since he was a child, and as such, had seen better days and didn't quite have the strength he was looking for. On the other hand, the ones he did find being sold in the Hidden City were either extremely out of his price range or simply not well made for a samurai.

Enter Hamato Yoshi, AKA Lou Jitsu, AKA his father, who may not be one of the most exemplary ninjas out there, but he was trained in the arts of one, and as such knew everything of basic skills such as that of forging a sword.

Which was why the blue ninja immediately begged Splinter to help him in crafting a basic sword to give to his beloved. The rat man found the request extremely odd and out of character for his son, but took it as an opportunity to bond with him, so he didn't question the need for a new sword when the ones he currently had worked perfectly fine.

With the shiny new sword now in his possession, Leo was quick to prep it all nicely with a bow. He'd give it to Usagi during their weekly training spar, ask him to be his boyfriend and live happily ever after. Simple!

“Come on, Usa! You can do better than that!” Leo easily evaded the rabbit's swing to his left, counter attacking with a swing of his own that quickly got blocked.

“You're one to talk! I know when you're going easy on me, Hamato. Afraid of showing what otherworldly powers you're hiding?” Usagi was a fun opponent, since he never backed down from a challenge and was quick to match Leo's taunting with his own. He arched his eyebrows with a sly smirk, which had no right in being as sexy as it was.

With a slight blush dusting his cheeks which he hoped came off as exertion, Leo chuckled as he lowered his weapon, panting and reaching for a bottle of water for himself and his partner. “Didn't think trying to be nice would be considered going easy on someone. Let's take five! I'm sure we both need it…”

He then tossed one bottle to the bunny boy, which he was able to catch easily. “Fine… But we're settling this today! No more ties!”

As Usagi started chugging down on his drink, Leo turned an eye to look at the new sword which was still hidden on the other side of the tunnel they were practicing on. It actually blended well and could come off as Mikey's graffiti if Usagi ended up locating it.

Everything was going according to plan! No one to distract him from his goal!

Or so he thought.

“Leonardo. I see you've brought company…”

A soft female voice echoed through the tunnel, quickly bringing both boys out of their resting and into battle positions with one back against the other. Both had raised their swords and started looking back and forth for the source, only to be met with a giggle.

“I apologize. I didn't mean to frighten you. Perhaps I should've made myself present earlier.” It was then that Leo really took a good look at his surroundings. A faint glowing green figure began to emerge before him, and the moment it started to take form, he immediately lowered his guard and couldn't believe the luck he had. “Gram Gram?!”

Oroku Karai stood before him, a warm smile plastered on her face as she nodded in greeting. “It is good to see that you're doing well.”

After the fight with Shredder, the turtles thought that they'd never get to see their beloved ancestor again. For months during their recovery they mourned her, yet one day she miraculously appeared before them as a spirit, which brought everyone in the family to tears.

The best explanation that Splinter could come up with was now that Oroku Saki no longer existed in any plane, Karai had been freed from her curse and tie to the Hamato clan, which turned her sacrifice null and allowed her spirit to remain in the teapot that was once connected to Shredder's soul.

And despite being able to move on and go to the spirit world, the fierce warrior confessed that she yearned to be with the family she never got to meet, hence being able to stay with the living.

Leo was ecstatic about this fact, and his Gram Gram was someone he loved talking to whenever his brothers annoyed him or April wasn't available.

He loved her, and yet her timing couldn't have been any worse.

“Wait! Y-You-re… Oroku Karai! Daughter of the Shredder! And Leo's great great grandmother!” Usagi's nerd instincts kicked into high gear, as he looked at the woman in awe with his weapon discarded on the ground. “My grandmother told stories about you along with those of Miyamoto Usagi! You're a legend and staple of ninja history!”

Karai looked over at the bunny boy in surprise, but then allowed herself to laugh at his words. “I would not consider myself a legend, but thank you for your kind words. As for Miyamoto Usagi, he was indeed a powerful ally and a wonderful friend…”

“You.. You knew him?” Usagi asked with sparkles in his eyes.

Karai nodded with a smile. “We fought together a handful of times, yet his heart always showed to be pure. If you'd like, I would be more than happy to share some stories.”

“That would be great! Thank you so much! I should probably get more water though, we've been training all this time so we're kinda dehydrated- Anyway this is a huge honor!” Without even sparing Leo a glance, Usagi bowed and quickly left to the kitchen to bring more drinks.

Gram Gram walked over to Leo and smirked, a knowing twinkle in her eye that indicated she had secrets to share, yet would never tell. “He seems like a nice boy. I hope you remain good friends.”

Leo groaned in frustration and embarrassment as he covered his blushing face.

Attempt #2 for Operation ‘Rabbit Conqueror’ went down the drain.

This time, the blue ninja was not holding back.

His third attempt would be the biggest and most extraordinary display of affection that even the Yokai down the street would know of his affections for the rabbit samurai.

All of his previous failures had two things in common. They were at his home where distractions could occur at any time and were trying to remain subtle. But this time he wouldn't be home, and he'd be anything but subtle.

With lots of begging and promises to Señor Hueso of washing the restaurant's dishes for a month, Leo was able to get himself and Usagi a fancy table at Run Of The Mill Pizza. Candles were placed, lights were dimmed, and even music was provided to make the atmosphere as romantic as possible. Señor really knew how to make an impression.

With a romantic dinner at his side, Leo was going in guns blazing. He would go in, have a wonderful time with his crush, and confess at the end of the evening after buttering him up throughout the whole date. And yes, this was meant to be a date.

And Leo was sure to make that point very clear.

“Since when do you like having pizza on dinner tables? I thought you said grease tasted better on booths.” Usagi was trying his best to be as casual and carefree as the duo usually was when they came to Señor Hueso's, but it was clear that all the fancy stuff around him was getting a little distracting.

When Leo had told him he wanted to have dinner that night, Usagi had assumed the usual— either chaotic dinner with his family or the usual pizza palooza they enjoyed at Run Of The Mill. And well, he was partially right.

Leo placed a hand against his chin, leaning with a smirk gracing his features as he looked at his companion in a way Usagi had never seen before. “Oh, well you know how it is! You go big or go home when you're taking someone lovely out for dinner. Can't have none of that basic stuff when you're on a date.”

Pink quickly dusted over the bunny's cheeks, and Leo had to hold back his squeal over how adorable he looked. Just as adorable as he'd imagined, which meant things were going according to plan. Usagi forced a chuckle as he started fiddling with his thumbs. “Right… a date. Good one, Leo! S-So! We having the usual or…?”

The blue ninja was taken aback by the change of subject, but tried to regain his footing as he grabbed the couple's menu that Señor had provided for them. “You know, I'm not really in the mood for pizza. What do you say we go for the Italian pasta bowl? It says here it's perfect for two~”

Usagi only then noticed his own menu, and proceeded to look for the dish his friend was suggesting. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, but didn't seem to protest. “I mean… I'm not the biggest fan of spaghetti, but… you never know unless you try, right?”

“Exactly!” Leo closed his menu and ushered one of the waiters in their table's direction. “One Italian pasta bowl, please! Make it ‘Lady and the Tramp’ style, for me and my date here.”

The waiter nodded and left, leaving a confused Usagi and a smirking Leo at the table. “You're the Lady, by the way. And I, am but a mere humble Tramp…”

“Leo!” Usagi spoke up a bit louder than intended, but it was effective in getting the blue ninja to snap out of whatever he was doing. With a deep inhale, the bunny scratched at the back of his neck sheepishly. “Sorry, I didn't mean to yell… Look, I appreciate all of this, I really do! Going out of your way to plan something like this for us must have taken a long time. But… I prefer when we get to sit in our booth and just laugh at whatever lame joke we come up with.”

“W-We can still do that! I thought I was cracking jokes, you know?” Leo tried to play it off, but Usagi's stern look quickly deflated his efforts. “I mean… I just wanted tonight to be special.”

“But why?” The rabbit samurai scooted a little closer and placed one hand on top of Leo's. The softness of his fur was enough to get the turtle's skin to tingle. “You've been acting weird for a while. I didn't think much of it at first because well, you're you. But after this… I can't help but wonder if something's going on. Is everything okay?”

As Leo looked into the other boy's eyes, he found nothing but genuine concern for him, and it only squeezed his heart in a painful way.

This was it.

He had to tell him, or else he'd keep worrying about him.

Taking a deep breath, he held Usagi's hand between his own and felt his face heating up. “The truth is… Usa- Yuichi. The thing is… I-”

And almost as if the universe was mocking him at this point, the door to the restaurant was forcefully shoved open, causing other customers to stare in confusion.

Hypno stood in all his ugly hippopotamus glory along with Warren, the little worm creature perched atop the other villain's shoulder as he waved a paper bag in the air in what could only be compared to a child's tantrum. “You forgot my guava sauce, Hueso! I order the same thing every Tuesday night!”

“If my roomie doesn't get the respect he deserves, then perhaps you need a bit of a reminder on who you're dealing with!” Hypno used his raw strength to pick up a nearby table and started throwing it around to cause commotion.

“Give me a frickin break…” Leo couldn't help but mumble under his breath. Letting go of his date's hand, he went to reach for his katanas. Usagi wasn't far behind, bringing out his odachi and taking a stance.

As the duo began their fight, Leo was aware of the looks Usagi kept glancing his way, and there really wasn't a way for him to stop and say anything in return.

The third attempt was most definitely the worst.

It had been about three weeks since Leo's last attempt at Run Of The Mill Pizza.

Usagi didn't pry again, but Leo knew that he was still worried about him. Regardless, the blue ninja decided the best course of action at this point was to just ignore. He pretended like the past couple of months didn't happen, and did his best to go back to his goofy and prankster self, while also treating the bunny boy the same as usual.

Or at least, he tried to.

There was no denying that he treated Usagi differently now, and may even be avoiding him on an unconscious level.

But could anyone really blame him?

He'd pretty much made a fool out of himself in front of the boy he liked and now even had doubts he never considered before. Like what if Usagi didn't like him back? What would happen if Leo confessed and it ruined their friendship? What if he lost him forever, all because he couldn't get over a stupid little crush.

So that's what he was planning to do. Try and get over it.

So far it wasn't working.

He and Usagi had been assigned a specific part of the city for their monthly patrol. The other turtles were somewhere else, trying to cover more ground for any crimes that could be occurring. But of course, it was the one night New York decided to be peaceful and not have anything going on.

Silence hung between the two Yokai, and honestly Leo preferred it that way. Well, more like he preferred the silence to having the bunny boy be interrogating him. He'd much rather the two of them be talking like normal. Listening to the other laugh. Knowing that he was the one who caused that.

After rounding the same corner for the fifth time, Leo thought it would be a good idea to call it a day.

But before he could even utter a sentence, he turned to look at his companion. He stood awkwardly in place, fidgeting and turning from one place to the other. Almost as if he was… nervous?

“You okay, Usa?” Leo asked suddenly, which caused the samurai to jolt in response, but quickly forced a smile as he chuckled lightly. “Y-Yeah! Never been better! Why you ask?”

This time Leo was the one who gave him a stern look, and all Usagi could do was sigh in response. “It's just… I wanted to ask you something. B-But I don't wanna upset you!”

“Here it comes…” Leo braced himself for the interrogation that was long overdue. He'd just tell him he had the flu or something and that was the reason why he'd been acting so weird for the past few months. Trying to give him a reassuring smile, the blue ninja replied. “Come on, Usagi. It's me! Whatever it is, it can't be that bad. You won't upset me. Promise!”

Studying his face for a moment, Usagi must have found what he was looking for, since he took a deep breath and started fidgeting under the other teen's gaze once more. “Alright… here it goes.”

“I've been… thinking about this for a while. Like, a really long time actually.” The samurai chuckled to himself at that. “But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. And after everything that's happened, I think… I think it's time for me to take a chance.”

Leo simply stared at his friend in confusion. He really didn't know where he was going with this.

“Leonardo Hamato.” Usagi looked at the turtle in front of him with conviction as he uttered his full name, making the other blush with intensity. In a matter of seconds, the samurai pulled something from his pocket and placed it between them, bowing his head with red covering his entire features. “Doyouwannagooutwithme?!”

It took Leo about ten seconds to realize what Usagi was holding— a red rose.

It took him another ten seconds to process what the other had said.

Until his face finally erupted in flames after a total of thirty seconds. “W-What?!”

“I-I said… Do you-?” Usagi was about to ask again, only to have Leo interrupt him with slight annoyance in his voice. “No, I heard what you said! But that's not fair!”

Usagi's ears quickly flattened at the side of his head, and Leo immediately made sure to correct himself. “I've been trying to ask you out for months now in the best possible way, and then you come in and just outright say it? I-It's just not fair!”

After processing what the other said, the bunny boy smiled widely. “So I was right!”

“Right about what?”

“About you liking me! I hoped that you did, maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but it wasn't! Like the pizza thing, the new sword and then the restaurant!” Usagi blurted in a single breath which made it difficult to keep up, but Leo somehow did. “Wait. You… You knew about all of that?”

Sheepishly looking at the ground, he nodded. “I mean, not at first. I saw the message in the pizza box after it was in the trash but thought maybe they gave us the wrong one. Then your father told me you made that sword for me, but I figured you were just being nice. And the restaurant… well I didn't know what to think of it. Maybe you were playing games with me? I dunno…”

At that last statement, Leo quickly grabbed the other by the shoulders and stared into his hazelnut eyes. “Yuichi, I would never play about something like that…”

The use of his first name brought more pink to the bunny's cheeks. Leo only used it when he was serious. With a smile slowly lifting in his corner, he quickly leaned in, and stole a nuzzle against the turtle's face, before pulling away just as fast. “Yes…”

Trying to accept the fact that his crush pretty much kissed him, Leo felt the world around him spinning, and the butterflies in his stomach multiplied in an instant. “H-Huh?”

“Yes, I will go out with you. That's what you wanted to ask, right?” Usagi kept his smile, pink never leaving his face.

Leo started laughing, red going from one cheek to the other. “And I would love to go out with you too…”

At that moment, the blue ninja couldn't be any happier. Everything he'd done over the past few months hadn't been for nothing, and it was actually totally worth it in the end. He'd make sure that Usagi didn't regret this decision, and based on the look the rabbit gave him, he was thinking the same thing.

Holding each other's hands under the beautiful midnight sky couldn't be anything more than cliché, yet he didn't care.

Life really was good after all.

“Oh, would you look at that? The gays have finally come out of their shell! Get it? Shell? Anyways gentleman, I believe you owe me money.”

“Aw Leo! Why didn't you tell us you were into Usagi? We could've totally hooked you up sooner!”

“Yeah bro! Dr. Feelings could've given you a free consultation!”

As he heard the snickers and snaps of pictures being taken from the rooftop, Leo sighed once more.

Well, he'd been planning stuff for months already.

What was one more scheme to help him become an only child?

Okay, so!! So! I had this idea (inspired by web series called Chikn Nuggit) for Usagi in the rottmnt universe! Also Leosagi thoughts, coz I really like this ship. All the art and stuff I've seen floating around is so cute!

Right so like, Usagi is a rabbit yokai whose family was cursed forever ago to transform into a demonic hell beast, or whatever. They have since more or less resolved their curse, in that they are not going to lose their minds and become a rampaging monster, but are still able to transform into their demonic forms.

Usagi is kinda morally grey here. He may be a demon (technically) but he's definitely not evil, he just leans a lot more on the "anti" side of anti-hero. He's also has a history of bad choices fueled by teenage rebellion, is a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and ran with the wrong crowd for several years. He's making an effort to turn things around for himself now tho.

Leo and Usagi had a whole enemies to loves thing. As in one minute they were at each others throats, and the next they were making out. It was actually a case of love at first sight but they are both absolute disasters and misunderstood their feelings, landing on hate instead of love. They worked themselves out eventually. They still have this rivalry but now there's a lot more flirting involved.

Anyways, I just have this one scene thats been circling around in my head for ages:

Somebody, possibly April: "Why are you sitting in a ring of salt?"

Leo: "I had a fight with my boyfriend and I'm still mad at him."

April: "What...?"

Usagi emerges from the shadows in demon form: "YOU CAN'T STAY IN THERE FOREVER!"

Leo: "THE HELL I CAN'T!"

April, backing away slowly: "...what...?"

I have had my head buried in pony for awhile but seeing people post in the leosagi/katanashipping makes me so happy ;; yes new baby fans carry on the torch

HOWEVER. I am curious. How many of you… like… have actually seen a piece of media with Usagi in it. Because as far as I know he still isn’t in rottmnt (please note this is not for gatekeeper reasons please ship them no matter how you got into it but like I’m so curious how many just. Saw the ship online and glommed onto the idea of it in rottmnt because of that)

#katanashipping #tmnt #usagi miyamoto #leosagi #I will say tho… u should watch 2k3 if you haven’t cause it’s good and I think you’d like it

Pantheon au: Characters! Part 1

Welcome to my new au that I will just give facts about since I can't write a story for life now how it came to existence well it was an ask in @annonniiiiieeeee's ask blog and it ended up being a full fledged thing I wanted to do for fun so here's the summary and basic information and I'll go along from there no plot spoilers will be given just some hints of it but that's about it.

What is the au called? I like to call it the Pantheon au (I will probably change the names later)

Premise? What if the (rottmnt) turtles were gods and yes this is a somewhat Leosagi centered au because my biggest inspirations for this au is a Leosagi fic by the person I mentioned at the start of this post. Of course it will have some interactions with the brothers and I will also flesh out their interactions with one another as well as the other characters because I want to get them all the attention they deserve.

NOTE: not all of these facts are set in stone there are some that we still have to talk about and what to remove or add because some are my own thoughts so I will still have to run it through my co-creators @annonniiiiieeeee @furiousjellifish and @thenerdywitchofthenorth when this is posted to see if there are things we need to change or add to it. Open to suggestions as well

On with the characters!

Lets start off with the Hamatos

Splinter!

The head of the Pantheon and Forgotten God of Fame and Fortune

Due to the accident he had to hide away with his boys to keep them safe.

Due to the lack of followers because of his disappearance his power becomes weaker so he used the remaining energy to make a home hidden away and seal his boys abilities until a certain age.

The reason he sealed those abilities away was because he wants to raise them in a healthy environment and he can't have that with the mortals causing trouble and possible evil that will come for them so he raised them alone and away from the mortals

Used to be in a relationship with Big Mama a fellow god/celestial being who manipulated him to battle in her Battle Nexus located in the Hidden City another factor on why he his his boys away (could be changed)

In the start he was struggling to raise the turtles while missing his glory days and it gets harder because of the dwindling numbers of his followers for each year that passes by.

He slowly grows to become the father the turtles need after the Shredder incident that destroyed their first home.

Raph!

The God of Protection, Strength, Warriors and Rage

Rules over no domain unlike his brothers and merely protects their domains

He watches over those that worship him and makes sure to visit the villages/cities that choose to become his worshippers

He often joins in with mortals in battle fighting for the good people and protecting those who cannot protect themselves.

Those that threaten what his family protects whether it be their domains, worshippers or those that wish to harm them Raph will do whatever it takes to protect it leading to his rage being taken out on them (The savage Raph episodes) or to put it simply mess with his family's domains be prepared to face Raph

April!

Goddess of Truth and Families

Has been down to the mortal realm more times that the turtles and Splinter

Mayhem is her messenger and companion and has two forms when in disguise which is either a cat or a dog and follows April when she's in disguise and down in the human world

April looks the most human of them all so she doesn't have to hide her her image as much as they do.

Will always be the first to call them all out on their bs.

Whenever the turtles sneak out she accompanies them and when busy Mayhem does it for her

In her statues she and Mayhem are always together either on her shoulder or in her arms

Donnie!

The God of Knowledge and Innovation

Because of his unethical experiments at times he is also occasionally called the God of Madness

The smartest of his brothers and often invents new ways to improve their security especially after the Shredder destroyed their first home

Those that come to him for knowledge must share their own knowledge with them as well as a valid reason on why they want the knowledge they ask for and if he deems it fit he will grant you the knowledge you seek if not... Well he'll show you why he's occasionally called the God of Madness

If not found in his domain you can find him in his room/personal study tinkering with Sheldon a spirit that took the form of one of automatons and became Donnie's son.

Leo!

The God of Strategy, Travel, Medicine and Romantic Love

Some of the strategies kings, lords, generals or other battles strategists think of are actually Leo's own strategies that he whispered in their ears using the wind.

He never got any thanks before because the mortals take the credit for it but Leo doesn't mind that much since at that time he was an unknown god but when he became known many mortals pray for his strategies to tackle the many challenges of daily life which Leo is happy provide.

Only dabbles in medicine before meeting Usagi but then spent his energy on medicine to help Usagi with his curse by healing his loved ones should they fall victim to his curse

Became associated with romantic love because of Usagi telling potential worshippers about Leo and hearing the genuine love from him from then on associated him with romantic love.

Leo has an inferiority complex like in the canon show and in true Leo fashion cracks his one liners and makes fun of serious situations but knows when to be serious when the situation calls for it

he self sacrifices like a boss (someone stop me)

Mikey!

God of Food, Harvest and Flame

When appeased the harvests are blessed and good meanwhile if he's mad or upset he will burn the land in which he stands

Mikey is the artist of the family and the cook so his domain is often colorful and full of delicious foods.

Could possibly be the most powerful one in the family. (If canon Mikey can throw a whole boat, an entire building, and open a gateway back in time as well as to the prison dimension then imagine what this god can do)

Even so Raph is protective of him and therefore Raph visits his domain the most for that reason. Much to the dismay of Mikey

Mikey interacts with his worshippers a lot whenever he visits the villages/cities under his domain

Listens to the problems of the people and acts either harsh (Dr. Delicate Touch) or kind and understanding (Dr. Feelings) depending on the situation that calls for it.

Mikey is still naive so at times he can be taken advantage of by some people which adds to his brothers' reasoning to visiting him constantly to check in

Sometimes people forget he's the God of Flames until they remember that he can burn their crops down.

Cassandra!

The Goddess of War and Violence

Cassandra is as intense as she is in the show however in her time in the pantheon with the Hamatos she learned to calm down more but she is still intense and is as always waiting for the next battle

A mortal that used to work for the foot clan but when the clan fell apart she spent her time with the Hamatos and slowly being part of their family and going through her own trial to earn her title as a god

When Casey was going through his trial she wasn't allowed to interfere so she left her son in the hands of the turtles

She is the most active in the battlefield

At times Cassandra would challenge the victor of the battle to a match to satiate her need for battle though she is still in disguise of course.

Casey Jr

The God of Peace, Victory and Roads

Casey started off as a demigod before earning his godhood to join the pantheon

Once he became a god Leo let him keep dominion over the roads

Is one of the first (if not is the first) to be supportive of Usagi and Leo's relationship and even gave Usagi a blessed trinket to show his support to his endeavor to reconcile with Leo

Doesn't have a domain of his own since he usually travels around with his mom.

When his mom is off challenging random mortals to battle he would be in the corner supporting the mortals so they actually stand a chance of surviving her attacks... It works 50% of the time.

Draxum!

The God of Alchemy, Magic and Plants

Caused the accident that caused Splinter to hide from the world with the baby turtles tots

A primordial god that's saw the existence of everything and even created the Yokais and living among them for a period of time before being banished by the Council Of Heads (that's what I call those guys Mayhem works for in canon show)

His resentment for humans started when they attacked his creations and not even half the population survived resulting in his many unethical experiments on attempting to wipe them out

When he was reformed he is keeping an open mind on humans however when their acts result in one of his family members getting upset... Well you should not expect much mercy.

He can easily take on those that want to hunt him down in the Hidden City however he does not want to dwindle the numbers of the Yokais even further so he ran.

He helped rebuild their second home after the Shredder incident and made sure none were hurt during that incident in place of the turtles and yes even the humans even if he was still trying to be open minded

Closest to Mikey because of the many times they spent together during his reform

He was okay (at best) with Leo and Usagi's relationship but should the rabbit bring him any sort of pain that curse isn't the only problem he will have

Is probably the one to heal Usagi's curse with some assistance with Leo

mikey or leo for the hc thing!!

Sorry for the wait, anon! I’ll go ahead and do both! ^v^ (also I’m gonna assume the RotTMNT incarnations for both)

sexuality headcanon: For Leo, I headcanon him as ace-gay - having known he was ace pretty much all his life and just not knowing the term for it, but just recently started realizing just how much he likes cute boys and wouldn’t mind having a cool bf. And for Mikey I think he’s pan but also sorta on the aro/demi spectrum where he isn’t too interested in romance unless he really knows the person well and wants to be with them that way, but still likes the idea of romance (see the whole hippo suit scene from ‘Newsworthy’, lol), it just takes a while for him to think of it in a serious way. But hey, give him a break, he’s only thirteen!

otp: I don’t really ship either of them seriously, though I’m sorta getting into Leosagi thanks to some cute fanart in the tag, heh ^v^

brotp: Considering how much fun ‘The Gumbus’ was, I’d love to see more of Leon, Mikey and April all going on adventures together and hanging out ^v^

notp: Either one of these two with their brothers or their big sis. Just... no. No T-Cest, and no April-with-the-turtles ships. Go away, shoo.

first headcanon that pops into my head: Leo plays Guitar Hero in his spare time (thanks to a modded three-fingered guitar-control + game that Donnie made for him) cause he has a total rock star persona. Mikey can speak Italian - not fluently since he mostly picks it up from various cook and art books, but enough for a decent conversation.

one way in which I relate to this character: Hmmm... For Leo, I relate to his love of bad puns, and for Mikey I definitely relate to him being a bit overly emotional/sympathetic at times

thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: Mikey doesn’t really give me embarrassment, but Leon? ...boi. You are a DORK. Usually whenever he’s just being super cocky and about to make a stupid mistake, I just shake my head at him, unsure how this disaster blue child survives sometimes

cinnamon roll or problematic fave?: Both of them are adorable cinnamon rolls, but Leo tends to lean on problematic at times, though not too seriously (he still isn’t as aggravating as 2012!Leo is :/)

Second one, completely about @meandtheyeehaws F!au where yuichi fucking dies!!! I def need to workshop it more, but I loved the idea of Kraang!Usagi. I thought it was silly. Figured he’s still be protecting Hana. Cuz brother instincts!

Transcripts: first page:

Yuichi: hm?

Mikey: and I feel GOD in this Chili’s tonight.

Next to leo and usagi: they are in love!!

Other side of leosagi: I want what they have please

Second page:

Top right corner: bros unhinged (it’s ok you can laugh) (it’s funny)

Right center: idk stabbed r smthn

Bottom left: Me, searching for the gold for Usagi’s ring: hold on a sec I gotta make this hurt a little more

Bottom right: I think it would be funny if right after being stabbed right before dying he had a moment of consciousness and whispered “leo..” or “I’m.. sorry..” to leo as he dies JSUT for some goofies
