☆ Yandere Alphabet!

Yandere! 2k18 Raphael x Reader

Tws/cws: Blud idefk, yandere stuff, implied abuse, nothing explicit, a fuck ton of grammatical errors, free my boy raph.

Written by a minor, dni if uncomfortable.

☆ Affection: How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

Raphel is a hugger, 100%. He always wants your attention on him and only him. To him, the best way to show someone you care is physical affection. There's absolutely no second in the day where he wouldn't just have the urge to scoop you up and hug you all day. However, unlike his little brother Michelangelo, he knows when to quit it. 💀

☆ Blood: How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

Yikes, so uhm. Raphael isn't the most violent person ever. He's a pacifist at heart. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, but if push came to shove and he was in a situation where someone had to get hurt, he'd gladly. However, he'd feel guilty forever about it though.

☆ Cruelty: How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

Hell fucking no, hello?? Honestly, the poor boy would do anything for you, he kind of sees you above him in some way. He just wants whats best for you. He knows that the current situation is a little hard on you but he'd never mock you for it :(.

☆ Darling: Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling's will?

He'll try not to.

☆ Exposed: How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

Very, VERY vulnerable. Honestly, the boy has cried and will still cry in front of you. He's not afraid to show his emotions. If anything, he thinks being emotionally vulberable around eachother is a good thing! :3

☆ Fight: How would they feel if their darling fought back?

Please don't, he doesn't want to have to hurt you.. :(

☆ Game: Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

Oh nah, he hates it so much. It breaks his big ol' heart whenever he sees you try to leave him. Please quit it.

☆ Hell: What would be their darling's worst experience with them?

Probably just a forced cuddle session that ended pretty badly. (A shattered wrist and a few broken bones.)

☆ Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

He just wants to spend the rest of his life with you. He's a little cheesy and would love to get married to you. Adding kids into the mix wouldn't hurt either. :3

☆ Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

Oh nononono! He'd never hurt you on purpose, yes he can get pretty jealous but he's very good at concealing it. His way to cope would probably be taking it out on some crook or just sparring with someone.

☆ Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?

You're def getting smothered. 💀 He's so sweet you're gonna get so many smooches throughout the day.

☆ Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Also an old fashioned kinda guy. Met you, tried to get to know you better, but he was a lil too shy to fully ask you out. And hid paranoia was getting to him, he just had to take ya.

☆ Mask: Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

Nah, there's no mask. He's still the exsct ssme, but just a teeny bit (a lot) more possessive and protective.

☆ Naughty: How would they punish their darling?

He's not very creative with punishments, and he doesn't even want to hurt you, he just wants you to learn your lesson. :/ So probably just some starvation or isolation.

☆ Oppression: How many rights would they take away from their darling?

Eh.. not that many actually. He's just trying to be a loving boyfriend.

☆ Patience: How patient are they with their darling?

Very, VERY patient. He's taking his time with you. But he'd get fed up eventually.

☆ Quit: If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

Absolutely not, he'd be totally broken. He'd stop at nothing to bring you back to him. He can't live without you..

☆ Regret: Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

He does regret snatching you up, but it was for your own good! He tries his best to ignore the guilt that's eating him from the inside. Still, he wouldn't let you leave. No matter how bad you make him feel.

☆ Stigma: What brought about this side of them (childhood, curiosity, etc)?

Due to his brothers getting older and more independant, he's starting to feel a little..useless. Like no one needs him anymore.. He wants someone to care for, someone to protect, and that's where you come in. :)

☆ Tears: How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

He'd feel awful. :(

☆ Unique: Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

He's very very lenient.. He's always near you, always making sure you're okay and comfortable.

☆ Vice: What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

His paranoia, his emotional vulnerability and his fears. But why would you do that to him, you monster? >:(

☆ Wit's end: Would they ever hurt their darling?

He didn't want to. He didn't mean it. He's sorry, please forgive him.

☆ Xoanon: How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over?

Your needs come before his, he'd do whatever to make sure you stay with him. No matter how humiliating it is for him.

☆ Yearn: How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

Ehhh...

☆ Zenith: Would they ever break their darling?

Not on purpose.

Writing Raph was actually interesting and a bit out of my comfort zone considering I'm not the biggest fan of him.

... i decoded the Morse Code

Should I be scared?

Nononono I can explain!

Okay, so I hope I explain this well, but I was watching Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. And, um...I got emotional, so I had to take a break to draw. That's why I drew this:

I was feeling feels so I just...drew...? And I used morse code just cuz. That's all.

Actually...the solo Raph sketch and the page of Raph and Leo were all done on breaks from watching the movie...heh. So...no need to be scared, don't worry 👍✨

Terrapin Soup Part 10

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuckshitfuck- "Leo! What happened to your arms?!" No no no nononono- "I-I.. I uhm..." Raph didn't even give a second glance to the floor pizza as he stepped over the boxes and reached out to Leo, who instinctively took a step back to avoid his touch. Raphael's expression only looked more worried when he wasn't able to reach him. Usagi glanced between the two and decided not to try and interfere and make things worse on either of them, "Raph this isn't the time c-can we just talk about this later.."  "Later?? Leo you're seriously hurt! Is this why you've been wearing those compression sleeves? I- I thought we weren't keeping secrets anymore- How long have you had these? Who did this to you?"

No more secrets? Now that set him off after just learning Donnie had more then enough secrets to last a few life times that was being held from him. "No more secrets?? Oh spare me the bullshit, I know you know damn well what Donnie's been doing without telling me! You never told me, none of you told me! And I know you also knew about the trackers Donnie put on us all cause of-fucking-course you wouldn't trust me to go out on my own if there wasn't some mystic way to know exactly where I was so you can drag me back! I can't believe I was stupid enough to think any of you actually trusted me! You never did, did you? To think you ever had any faith in me.. So yeah, I've been keeping things from you. But y'know what? This is my personal biz, you don't have the right to that, none of you do. None of you have the right to my private thoughts and conversations without my permission!! You can't just spy on me for fucking years and act like that's normal!" "Leo language, please.. I-I know you're upset but you.. You gotta understand why dad asked Dee to make them in the first place-" "Dad's in on it too?? God is everyone but me in the loop? Some fucking brothers you are-!" "It was so long ago when he made them we were all just kids- Besides you're never here anymore Leo! When would we have the time to fill you in on something that doesn't even matter that much-" "It matters to me!!" Leo was raising his voice to the point even Usagi was getting a little worried.. He didn't know how to help, clearly Leo's privacy was something he held above all else, and with good reason. He knew deep down Leo was just scared. Scared that if his brothers stumbled on any information about his habits that they'd shun him if not something worse. "Don't you fucking get it?? I've been hiding this for years, because I knew you'd never understand. None of you would! And I was right because you turn around and do this shit! I can't believe you guys would spy on me and violate my privacy and trust like that-" "Years..? Leo... W-What do you mean years?" Leo walked up to Raph, taking the few steps closer with a much colder expression then anyone in the room had even seen on him before. He held his arms up putting them in his brothers face, his arms were covered in marks, scar tissue over shredded skin making dents and bumps from his wrists to his shoulders. There was no clear pattern but from the depth of the old versus the newer it was clear they'd been getting deeper. "Get a good look brother. It's been one year, eight months, and twelve days since the last time I hurt myself. So no, you don't understand. I've been hiding it because I knew you'd throw yourself a pity party and find some way to blame yourself for it, so I just.. Didn't tell you. There was no way I could explain this to you, to any of you.. I told you no one is who they say they are. We all have shit, so you can stop pretending to have some moral high ground over me like I'm some stupid child who doesn't know left from right and who'd never hurt a fly. That kid you see me as is long gone." Raph looked over all the marks, unable to properly analyze anything with his mind racing, when did this start then? How long had it been going on exactly? Why hadn't he noticed sooner.. He couldn't helped- When did Leo say that? Why was he so upset, didn't he know about Donnie's trackers? It was one of his greatest inventions that stopped them from getting sick by alerting them of the early signs.. Why was Leo mad at that..? That new wound.. What were those stiches from? Did he get hurt fighting tonight.. Did Usagi patch him up? That was nice of him- Since when did he know how to do that? What happened to Leo.. He was never like this before. 

"Leo I.. ...I'm sorry, I didn't know you felt like this. I-I'd never hurt you on purpose, or do anything that I knew could hurt you.. You know that right? Raph would never keep things from you if it wasn't important or if he didn't know you didn't know.. I-I'm glad you told me about some of it now though, and.. Well... You're right about me not understanding, I might if you talked to me more- But I haven't told you everything about me either s-so I don't expect everything to come out at once. But we're brothers, you know that no matter what it won't change that. Whatever you're going through.. Or were going though? I wanna help, I don't know what I can do but I don't want you to feel like you can't talk to me.. And I don't wanna feel like I can't talk to you." "...What if I killed someone..?" Raph froze, taken aback by the sudden question, one he never really thought he'd hear Leo of all people ask, especially in this sort of conversation. "I- Leo I'm tynna be serious-" "Answer the question. If I killed someone I thought deserved it, what would you do? Would you still say you love me? Would you honestly be able to look at me the same?" "..Well- Of course! Leo people do lots of messed up things because of good intentions. And sometimes the answers aren't always clear, the paths we take aren't always steady. But everything we do shapes who we are, and if we go down different paths, I might be worried for you.. Or try to get you to go another way since I don't think killing is right ever but.. But that's not for me to decide in the end. You do what you think is right, and when you need us we'll be there. I mean there's a few things that I wouldn't be able to forgive, but we love you Leo, every part of you. Even if you went a little too far, I know you aren't a bad person.. That weird feeling Raph gets around people he doesn't trust yet, I never once felt that towards you."

Well that was surprisingly heartfelt..

Leo took a step back, glancing to Usagi was a more apologetic look, mentally cursing himself for loosing his cool in front of him like that. Leo grabbed the tracker off the trey stuffing it into the pouch on his hip and gently grabbed Usagi's hand with his other. "As nice as that would be, I can't say I believe you. But I'm glad we talked... I'll.. Seriously stop hiding so much if you all do the same. But if any of you fuck with me again like this, you will never see me again. And that's a promise. Just talk to me next time, if he asked to chip me I would have said yes." Leo walked passed Raph into the doorway leading Usagi with him. "We'll be in my room, you can text me if its important but other then that no one else is allowed to bother us. I.. I need a minute." He said before heading out, leaving Raph alone with his sad pile of floor pizza and the unconscious cannibal...

-_-_-_-

One Leo and Usagi we're back in his room he plopped himself down on the bed letting his head fall into with hands with a low grumble. Usagi stood there for a moment before sitting beside him, gently rubbing the back of his shell with a hand, "Are you alright Leo..?" "Mmn... I'm sorry you had to see that. I feel bad for snapping at him.." "Ironic isn't it." Leo perked up, unsure what irony there was to any of this. "I thought Raphael was the snapping turtle." Leo deadpanned looking up at Usagi, that was the best worst joke he's ever heard.. Usagi was fucking perfect- He let out a little snort leaning into him, "Booo, that was a six out of ten, at best." Usagi rolled his eyes pulling Leo closer, "Can't be worse then your paper jokes-" Leo gasped dramatically pulling back, "Excuse you! My jokes are hilarious!" He gently pushed Usagi back a bit, watching in amusement as he let himself fall back, pulling Leo down with him so they were laying together, "Hilariously bad maybe~" "My paper jokes aren't just bad, they're.. Tear-able" Usagi snorted pushing Leo's face away gently, "Booooo! Now that was a three out of ten- How dare you try to bring those jokes back."

"Wat can I say, I love recycling~" Leo chuckled a bit, so thankful Usagi was able to lighten the mood so easily.. He didn't deserve such an amazing boyfriend.. Usagi laid there for a moment, letting them calm back down before turning onto his side, pulling Leo back in. "Are you alright.. Really alright?" Leo nodded, leaning into his hands, "Yeah.. I think so. Much better now actually. I should really think of what I'm gonna say to Dee later.." "You can cross that bridge when you get there. Let's relax for a bit first, why don't you script it with me. Pretend I'm him, what would you say..?" "..Sagi c'mon.." "I'm serious love" He took a deep breath and changed to a more stern expression, and started speaking with a funny voice. Clearly a bad impression of how Donatello sounded. "Why are you mad I did dope science hm? I've only been tracking everything down to your last BM" Leo fake gagged and shook his head in disapprovement. He sighed and took a breath seeing that Usagi wasn't going to stop till he did. "Fine.. Dee. I'm not mad that you made the tech, or for using it correctly. In fact I know how useful it could be, and I'm sure it's com in handy many times. But even you should understand how it can be bad when its the person chipped is unaware? How it violates their privacy how it could be misused? I'm more upset that you didn't tell me, and even actively kept it from me.. Even though you never shut up about your tech- But it's more then just being rude and inconsiderate it's... It's like if you were chipped as a child, unaware until years later, and suddenly felt like the people you were supposed to be close to were actually spying on you behind your back.. Saying who knows what, watching you in your most vulnerable moments, listening in on private conversations that you'd never want another soul to hear because of its importance.  Like.. Like everyone was in on some joke that you could never grasp because no one would explain it to you. That shit hurts, and I know you know how that feels.. So I just don't know why someone as smart as you didn't think about how I might feel about it.."

Usagi was quiet for a few moments, trying to think of what to say back. He couldn't just brush that off but he sadly wasn't able to give anything close to what Donnie might say cause he didn't know. Usagi instead nodded a little, resting forehead against Leo's, "That's a very good way of wording it. I think he will be understanding.." Leo smiled a little, "Of course, if he's not we could always eat em-" Leo snorted pushing Usagi back again trying not to laugh, "I can't believe you just said that, my own boyfriend, going after my brother- I call treason!" "I'm joking I'm joking. Besides, he's so lanky, no meat on him at all, he wouldn't be my first pick." "No? Who would it be then? Wait- No, lemme guess. Raph? He's huge! He could feed a village, they'd survive winter off him alone haha" "Actually I would probably pick the orange one. Michelangelo right? He's always eating sweets and very soft. He might not give the most but he'd taste the best.. Well.. Aside from you of course~ But that's a different scenario." Leo rolled his eyes Pulling Usagi back into his arms, "I'm gonna ignore that, but speaking of food.. Do you think any of those pizza survived..?"  "I'm not sure, no one seemed to concerned with them in the moment.. Would you like to get something else instead? It's always better to do talking and stressful things after you've had a good meal." Leo nodded a little, wondering what they could get around here.. He perked up after a moment, "There is a place I haven't been to in a while actually, there's this little shop in China Town topside that has this really good soup-" "..Soup? Oh! You mean the place you used to frequent before we started hanging out right? I was a bit curious if it was really good enough that you'd go back so often." Leo sat up and stretched his arms, "It's not yokai but it's pretty damn good. We do have to wear a disguise though.."  "Not to worry, I have a cloaking pin. We can let you borrow Hyo's for the night if that'd make things easier, just don't tell him I let you wear it." Leo watched as Usagi sat up with him and reached into his pocket pulling out two metallic looking pins, both shaped the same, gold squares with some sort of curved engraving with a line through it. "Oh wow, I've never worn one before, April's girlfriend has one that was her grandmothers or something." He took the other one handed to him and watched as Usagi put his on as he got off the bed. Leo did the same fastening the pin as he stood up. "So uh.. How do I look?"

Usagi stood there with his mouth hanging open as he looked over his boyfriend, his warm umber toned skin with discolored patches where his markings had been.. The one brown eye and one blue to match his signature color..  And he had hair now too so that was new, dark shoulder length locs with a few in the front bleached blonde that framed his face nicely.. Fuck he was pretty...

"Y-You look.. Uh" He cleared his throat and smiled a bit grabbing one of the hanging masks in his room, "You look handsome, may I do something?" He asked, gesturing to the mask. Leo nodded and stepped closer, letting Usagi's hands cup his face, it felt a bit odd since he was used to his hands having fur on them, but it was still nice. He looked of Usagi now that he had the change, he looked albino.. He leaned in a little closer to get a better look, even his eyelashes were white.. And his eyes were a reddish, pinkish color. Fuck he was cute.. "You look good too, it's a little weird to see you with ears on the side of your head though haha.."  "I could say the same to you." "Touché. Oh- Hey where'd that scar come from..? Right here-" He lifted his hand gently running a finger over the discolored mark running from his jawline up to the side of his nose. "It looks pretty old.." Usagi nodded, "It is, I was pretty young when it happened, I thought I was ready to go on missions, I was impulsive and undisciplined. Instead of Hyo coming to my rescue I had to find my own way out, it was an important lesson about why he didn't want me to go yet. He was right to say I wasn't ready. I'd never questioned his calls since." Leo nodded a little and moved his hand back down still resting against his cheek. "Hm.. It's kinda weird I've never seen it before, considering how often I'm this close to your face. Do you have any other scars? I'm kinda curious now.." Usagi blushed a bit, another thing he'd rarely seen from him since his fur covered it. "I might, but they aren't in places that are easy to show right now. Maybe after we eat, when we get into our pajamas it'll be easier." "O-Oh.. You don't have to, I wont pry if it's somewhere embarrassing! I was just wondering, but yeah, we should go eat." He reached over grabbing one of his swords, "We can portal there but since we have these pins do you care if we walk home? I never really got to see the town from the ground.." Usagi chuckled and took Leo's free hand, "I don't mind at all, I'd love to see the city with you~" Leo took the tracker from his pouch and set it on his bed, hidden under the pillow before opening the portal, leaving his swords as he and Usagi walked through, leaving without a word to the others and headed back to Chinatown. They stepped through ending up in the ally Leo used to go through the most often, he knew the way by heart at this point and led Usagi through the small crowds of people towards the dimly lit stall. Still unoccupied by any other customers, which he found strange, but he never questioned it before so why start now. Once he sat down he was greeted by the familiar face of the shops owner and only cook. "What'll it be boys?" He asked with his usual cheery smile. Leo took the menu pointing to his choice and holding up two fingers, which took him a moment to do since he wasn't used to having five fingers. "Oh! It's you isn't it? The guy who used to come here every month or so right? It's good to see you kid, you look good! Not that I saw much of you before haha! Is this a friend of yours? Bringin me some extra business yea? Well I 'ppreciate it, I'll get those bowls for ya in a second. I'm almost done making a fresh batch, you get to try the new recipe, I added a few things, lemme know what you think alright?" Leo nodded and looked back to Usagi, still unable to really believe his boyfriend could be that cute as a human.. Gay panic wasn't even close to describing the wave of flustered anxiety he felt when he met Usagi's eyes... He was down bad for him, no doubt about it..

Raphael’s Big Mistake, Part 2

Part 1

Language, because Raph.

He leaps into the air. Taylor's scream is cut off by something digging into her guts and ribs. It hurts and it knocks the breath from her.

She can't see. She can't move her hands. She's going to be sick. Blood's rushing to her head. She wants to tell her captor he's got the wrong person, but she can't make herself say anything.

Her captor bounds from rooftop to rooftop before dropping suddenly and quietly. There's the sound of something scraping and Taylor realises it's a manhole cover being drawn aside. She's being taken into the sewers.

Suddenly her terror increases. When he finds out he's got the wrong person, what's he going to do to her?

Tears are coming now. She can't keep them back.

He keeps moving. Taylor has no idea where he's going, but she does know one thing: this is not going to end well for her or April. At least she told her mom she loves her one last time.

The bag over her head does nothing to muffle her sobs.

"What the hell are you cryin' for?" He sets her on the ground; she gasps for air. "Donnie told you to come meet us. Now you're here, so deal with..."

He rips the bag off - and lets out a cry of alarm, staggering backwards.

Taylor can't breathe again.

It's a monster.

"Oh no," it's saying. "Nononono. Oh shit. Oh, shit."

[forestwhisper3]

So...guess what conversation moved up a season? Will this affect things down the line? Oh, definitely, but the how is a secret for now.

If you want to see how this scene plays out differently in DotS, read on. If you don’t want to be spoiled and wait for the the chapter to come out, then don’t. This is mostly just out of a need to vent and release after the horrors I witnessed last night. For now, it’s time for me to go to work, so bye for now!

               XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mikey's scream was loud and raw and blood-curdling, piercing the air like jagged shards of glass and cutting into him just as effectively. His expression was one of agony as he writhed, frantically clawing at a draconic leg in an effort to free the arm crushed underneath. For a few moments, he was frozen by more than the Time Scepter, unable to come to terms with what he was seeing...but then...

"LET HIM GO!!"

He snapped.

Rage and hate burned through every inch of him, his demand slipping through bared teeth in a snarl, but he didn't care because that was his brother. His little brother. Hurt and defenseless and-

And he couldn't do anything.

Drako and the Daimyo's son looked up at them and smiled.

He wanted nothing more than to tear them off.

"Now, we will have our vengeance," they began.

"We planned on disposing of the rat first," the Daimyo's son continued. "Then the Daimyo and then Leonardo."

He wished they had gone for him instead. He would prefer it a million times over from what was happening now.

"But watching your faces twist in hopelessness and despair has presented a more appealing option," Drako added, stoking the molten pit of fury within him as he ground down on Mikey's arm. His little brother, clearly spent and well beyond his limits by this point, didn't react with anything more than a hitch in his breath as he now lay limply on his back, staring up at Drako and the Daimyo's son with half-glazed eyes.

"All of you will learn the meaning of suffering beyond time and space. The insect by living out the rest of his pathetic life alone and crippled-"

No. Nononono.

"-and the rest of you with the knowledge that there is nothing you could do to help."

And just like that, the flames were doused, leaving nothing but the chill of fear and horror at the very thought. Not just of Mikey losing something so important, but at the thought of losing him.

"Did you hear that? Now you will be the source of their pain!"

Mikey didn't answer, but awareness seemed to break through the haze in his eyes regardless. Leo watched as they drifted over, pausing briefly a couple times until they locked with his own, something unbearably soft shining within.

I don't blame you, they seemed to say.

He didn't need to.

It'll be alright.

He'd failed him.

But just like before, the words remained trapped. Before he could even try to push through, Mikey's eyes drifted up to something above him- Donnie -before blue waves took him away.

"MOTHER FUCKER!!" Raph howled wrathfully, but Leo could hear the anguish underneath. "I'M GONNA KILL YA!! I'LL KILL YA, YOU BASTARD!!!"

He continued screaming and cursing and threatening, and, for a moment, Leo envied him. Even as his eyes burned and he felt the embers of anger reignite inside of him, he still couldn't speak- couldn't express himself the way Raph could. It was something so simple, and yet he-...

He'd never felt so...

                  XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Useless," he admitted, his eyes and fists clenching shut as everything came crashing down on him all over again. "My family needed me- Mikey needed me -and I-...I couldn't-"

He couldn't save him.

"I wasn't good enough," he finished. "And my little brother paid the price."

He should have known to dodge the beams from the Time Scepter.

Should have tried to draw their attention away from Michelangelo and to him instead.

Should have been able to escape.

Should have been better.

A warm hand settled on his shoulder, breaking him out of his thoughts, but he didn't turn to look.

"I understand your fear and anger in this, Leonardo-san," Usagi said, his voice quiet and melancholy. "My own master was cut down in battle...right by my side."

He finally looked at Usagi in shock, but his friend was staring at the fire, eyes heavy with an old grief.

"...It was my duty to protect him. I, too, failed."

"Usagi...I-I'm sorry. I didn't know."

Usagi breathed deeply and slowly let it out, the shadows in his eyes fading as he turned to meet his gaze. "Failure. Fear. In the lives we lead, these things are inevitable. How we deal with them, that is the true test of our character."

"...I know, but it's just that I-"

He was the oldest. He was supposed to look after his brothers- to keep them safe.

Mikey's scream echoed in his mind again, and he shuddered.

The hand on his shoulder gave a reassuring squeeze.

"Leonardo-san, you must let go of this pain you carry, these feelings of guilt. Your mistakes are meant to guide you, not define you. Accept that which you cannot change, and have the courage to continue forward, lest those feelings fester and consume you."

"I-..."

"Besides," he added, a small smile slipping onto his face. "In truth, I do not think you a failure."

"How could you not?!" he immediately protested, pulling away with a glare. "I told you what happened! Mikey was hurt because I didn't think things through!"

"You trusted your brother's judgement," Usagi corrected with a shake of his head. "Donatello-san is clever, correct?"

"He's the smartest person I know."

"Then of course you had faith in his plan- a plan that could have worked just as easily as it failed. That it did not was through no fault of your own, nor his. But, Leonardo-san, that is not the point I am trying to make."

"Then what is it?"

"That you may have lost, but you did not fail."

He stared in confusion.

"What...? I-I don't understand."

"You lost the fight against Drako and the Daimyo's son, yes, but you are alive. You have the chance to rest. To prepare and try again. Many are not so fortunate."

"But- Mikey-"

"Is wounded, but also alive, judging by Drako's words. Leonardo-san, the ones you love are still with you. You did not fail."

His heart ached, but...it felt different from before. The pain wasn't heavy or suffocating at all- almost the opposite, in fact.

It felt like a release.

Usagi's eyes were soft- full of understanding and free of blame and judgement, and he felt his own sting in response.

"Usagi, I-...thank you."

His smile widened. "Anytime, my friend."

The silence this time was comfortable, and Leo breathed in, his mind the clearest it'd been all day. He finally felt like he could focus again, and just that alone was reassuring.

"If you don't mind me asking, Leonardo-san," Usagi spoke up a while later. "What do you plan to do?"

"I have to find Master Splinter and my brothers...and the Daimyo. Both Drako and the Ultimate Ninja want revenge against him, which means his life is- wait." He stood and turned to face Usagi in excitement. "Usagi, the Daimyo's War Staff! If I can get to the Battle Nexus, the Daimyo can open a doorway and bring them back! I think I can remember the chant that opens the doorway to the nexus, but...my brothers helped me with the symbols."

"I know the ritual. I will help you in any way I can, as soon as Lord Noriyuki is under the Shogun's protection."

He almost slumped in relief. He had a plan. He had help. Usagi was right, he hadn't failed. It had just been a setback. They could still stop this- Ultimate Drako.

He just had to keep moving forward.

[dark--eclipse]

It hurt.

Everything on him hurt. Hurt hurt hurt like his skin was suddenly on too tight and he could hear everything and feel everything and he kept having lapses and tripping over things and his magic kept straining straining straining--

It was all coming to a head with April. Because of course it was. Sneaky little human couldn't keep her paws to herself for five minutes and accept that he didn't need help and that everything was fine, and she'd snuck into the room where he kept all those orbs full of trapped memories of his brothers--that he would sneak in and look at whenever the shadows stretched just a little too long within this forest dwelling, whenever the loneliness got to be too much to bear--and Donnie hadn't been able to find her, and then he had found her and positively seen red.

(Red red red like Raph huh like the brother you HURT--)

(shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP)

Even as his whole body trembled and swelled, Donnie lurched his way forward, teeth bared in a feral snarl. "Those are MINE. What part of not touching anything without my explicit permission do you not understand?"

"Don. Let's not even get into how you're the furthest thing from FINE I've ever seen right now, but you clearly miss your brothers. You could go BACK to them. They can teach you healthy ways of-"

"We've---gAH." He sagged into a work table for a moment as a bolt of pain swept through him, struggling to stay upright. "We’ve been OVER this. I can’t and WON’T go back when it puts them in DANGER. Are you satisfied? Did you find what you were looking for to try and prove a point here? Did you....did you get everything out of your system?” He chopped the air with one hand angrily, ignoring how even that simple action made him feel like expelling everything within his stomach.

"I had to understand. I had to know why you're staying AWAY from them! I can't do that if you won't TALK to me about it!" April's voice was loud, shrill. Too loud. It felt like nails scraping on a chalkboard, then, and he had to resist the childish urge to slap his hands over his ears to try and drown it out.

Why was everything so--

“Well, forgive me for not leaping with joy over the concept of speaking freely to someone who’s already proven that they can’t keep themselves from snooping into my private affairs," he snapped, baring his teeth again. "Now, we're going to clean this up and never speak of this again. Capiche?"

He had moved to try and put the memory orbs back, but April reached out to grab at his arm then, ignoring the loud warning hiss that the action elicited. “So that’s it, then. You’d rather hide out here than find even the TINIEST way of controlling your powers-“

"Don't you DARE." Dark flashed across his vision as he spun around, another bolt of pain going through his system as he lurched forward. “That’s the problem with you humans, isn't it, you....you don’t know when to QUIT. You don’t know how to just accept that I’ve found something that works for me. Well, I for ONE think you’ve overstayed your welcome. Go back to my brothers. You’re not welcome here anymore-“

“It’s NOT working for you! I’ve seen the shadows sneak into your eyes when you get angry. And you've been having seizures! They’re bottled up, they’re angry. It’s only a matter of time before they explode, with what you’re doing. Don, I wanna help. Just let me.”

She sounded so much like Theatre in that moment. Pleading with him to be sensible, somehow, as if the sensible thing to do was letting his powers run wild so that they could hurt someone again. He grimaced, pacing like an angry dog as he allowed himself to get more and more worked up. “.....no. Nononono, they HAVE to work. They NEED to. You don’t know anything. You can’t help me. No one can. I have this under control."

“Your brothers can. That’s why they’re here, that's why I brought them here. And you know it, or else you wouldn’t have kept-“

"You WHAT." He groaned as another bolt of pain went through him, the runes on the gloves spark spark sparking. “Can’t you just SHUT UP about them? Can't you respect my wishes? Can’t you just leave me ALONE??"

“Not when you’re hurting. Not when-“

"You don’t know ANYTHING about me. Just LEAVE.”

He lurched forward to try and grab her, and she reflexively pushed him, and then there was the sound of something sparking and breaking and---

No.

NO.

NononononononONONONONONONO. The runes in his gloves. NO.

“.....no. Nonononononono, sHIT, NO." Donnie kept staring at them in horror, hoping against all hope that they would go back to being whole again--

"Donnie? Donnie, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I--"

He could barely hear her. The shadows were racing up his arms, desperate. Clawing. His frame was shuddering so badly he felt like he would surely splinter in two any minute now, and he went to his knees from the sudden wave of pain that swept through him, gritting his teeth against the sudden onslaught--

"April. April, you need to get away from me RIGHT NOW."

"Wh....I'm not just gonna LEAVE you! I can help! I-"

“You HAVE to! I GAAAAAAAAAAH. I won’t....I can’t....I can’t CONTROL myself when I’m like this! I’ll HURT you.”

"...that's what happened to Raph. Isn't it."

The anger that swept through him in that moment wasn't entirely his own. “dOn’T tAlK aBoUt HiM." He bared teeth that were suddenly too long and too sharp, and....no no no he had to hold it back he had--

"DON!"

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry, just GO, just—I don’t know how much longer I can hold it back.” It hurt it hurt it hurt so much--

“You don’t have to. I’ll get your brothers, they can....they can help you—“

“NO. NONONONONONONO THEY HATE ME THEY HATE ME”

“They don’t! They want you to come back! But you gotta....you gotta trust them—“

“NO. DON’T BRING THEM HERE NO NO NO NO NO--" He was barely coherent anymore. He was rending the ground, sweating and clawing, and it hurt it hurt why did it hurt so much was she hurting him was--

He had to....he had to get away from her. He had to keep his brothers safe. He had to go....somewhere else somewhere safe. Donnie was shakily constructing a transportation circle before he could even think to stop himself--

"Donnie. DONNIE. GET BACK--"

--and falling through it. He didn't care where it was taking him.

As long as he ended up somewhere where he couldn't hurt anybody, it would all be fine.

[banana-pancake5]

Under the cut because it’s quite long :D

What am I doing? I should be asking him about his situation! Here I am making him think about all my problems! He has enough in his plate-

A series of small little taps on his leg made him look down. Angie was tapping his little hand onto Donnie’s leg. Donnie didn’t know why he was doing it but it felt a little grounding and comforting. Lee was still tugging at Donnie’s mask tales but he didn’t stop him. Usually to would be getting on his nerves at this point but he didn’t want to ruin his little twin’s fun.

Then Mike started talking. He started talking about his experience. He reminded Donnie of how his his brothers, even in the future, cared. They took him in as apart of their family immediately.

Donnie stared at Mike, although Mike was busy preparing the graham cracker for the s’more.

He got it. He understood. Donnie was so glad. Nononono that sounded awful. Why was he glad that Mike has had such an awful experience!? No he wasn’t glad that he had the experience. He was glad that he wasn’t the only one. He was glad someone, other than everyone in his new timeline who hid under a crafted facade, understood. He was glad he could talk to someone who, though he may be downplaying his own problems, could relate.

His face became hot under the threat of tears. Why am I so emotional today? Shut up tear ducts I need to think not cry!

The tears were becoming a bit more of a problem. They were now at the corner of his eyes. He didn’t dare blink in the case that they would fall.

When Mike talked about Donnie’s brothers he seemed so sure. He was so sure that they loved him. So sure that they wanted him to be happy.

Drip… Drip…

There come the tears.

Mike didn’t seem to notice. He had finished prepping the graham cracker and was now looking into the fire. He seemed to have wet eyes as well.

Mike moved on from the topic of Donnie’s brothers. Donnie checked on the marshmallow. He brought it away from the fire and closer to his face, it was really just an attempt to hide his face as the tears dripped down. Little El in his lap looked up with grabby hands trying to reach for the Marshmallow. The Marshmallow was practically done but he put it back to the fire as he wiped the tears from his eyes. The marshmallow gave him something to focus on as Mike spoke. It helped give him an easy thing to look at when his eyes suddenly felt like looking at Mike would be the end of the world.

Mike began talking about the small things. Explaining how sometimes it makes all the difference when you focus on the good, however subtle it may be.

Although Donnie couldn’t watch a sunset because the sight of the red sky made him sick, or find any cool rocks because anytime they were outside the resistance they were under the looming threat of Krang, he could listen to his favorite song, he could sing loud during karaoke nights in his older self’s lab, he could pull pranks on Leonardo, he could talk to Casey, he could watch Michelangelo paint on the walls, and so many other small yet meaningful things. There was fun in the apocalypse, it was just difficult to find. But he would find it.

“Don’t get so stuck in the past that you can’t live in the present.”

He didn’t want to live in the present. He hated it. But he had to. It was really really hard to think not think about his brothers every conversation he had with Leonardo and Michelangelo. And it was even harder to not think about the huge gap in the family, the one brother that even in another timeline he can’t have one more moment with, Raph. But he had to move past that. His new present needed him so he would pull through.

Knowing he had to pull through and be strong didn’t help one bit. Even when you know you need to it can still feel impossible. But he could always try.

His face was still hot with the teats that slowly escaped. He wiped them off as soon as he could but it still left a wet trail down his mask.

They both sat there looking into the fire a moment. It reminded Donnie of the resistance. But this fire was more comforting than the raging fires all across the apocalypse. This fire had someone in the other side. Someone who understood Donnie. Someone who shared some of the same trials.

It was strange talking to someone about these things. It was just on the edge of uncomfortable but it stayed there, just in the edge. In every scenario in his head a conversation such as this would tip the bottle, it would suffocate him, he would be screaming for it to end. But not this time. This was comforting, this was nice. He could only hope the same for Mike.

Mike sniffled. Perhaps a tear fell, but Donnie couldn’t see.

“Does that make any sense?” Mike asked after the silence became too loud.

“Yeah…” Donnie’s voice surely revealed he had been crying and if it hadn’t the little sniffle he gave certainly did. he hated it, but he continued, “Thanks, it’s… it’s nice to talk about this stuff. It’s nice to know someone else gets it. And uhm,” why am I so bad at comforting people??? “I’m sure your Donnie wants the same for you… Eh- I mean the happiness. I’m sure he wants you to be happy in whatever situation you’re in.”

Mike sniffed again but didn’t say anything immediately.

Donnie reached over to the graham cracker Mike had prepared. It was sorta sloppy but he couldn’t blame him. He carefully squished the marshmallow between the crackers with expert precision. The s’more was practically sparkling. Truly a perfect s’more.

“Bon appétit!” Donnie proudly lifted the s’more into the air as a show of its magnificence. Then he carefully lowed it to baby El who excitedly received it. Hopefully he would enjoy the s’more.

———

Oh my this got way longer than I expected :>

Thank you!! I’m so happy to hear you and your friend enjoyed the art so much!! I hope you can enjoy this one as well! (Sorry I forgot about mini Dee ;-;)

I hope this is an easy thing to continue off of! Also again I LOVE your writing so much!! You convey emotion really well!!! And because of this whole interaction I really really wanna start watching the 2003 show (I’ve only seen rise and 2012)

Also I would love to see that paragraph about the hug! (Even if you don’t use it in this interaction I’d love to read it if you would like to send it in an ask :D)

@tmnt-fandom-family-reunion cabins 11 & 14 yet again!!

“Greetings from Cabin 11, I have come to inform you about how to correctly create a S’more”

Donnie will NOT tolerate any burnt marshmallows

(@tmnt-fandom-faimly-reunion)

From where he was sitting by the fire, three baby turtles in his lap and one only slightly less baby turtle at his side, Mike hummed. "This is no four star Michelin restaurant, but I can certainly take that under advisement," he lied. He took the paper, holding it up to read and squinting at it to pretend like he was committing it all to memory.

Unfortunately, as he did so, it came in range of El's grabby hands.

"Hey!"

It was too late. The paper had gone down the hatch.

"...guess he's hungry?" Mike said. He huffed as a sudden thought struck him. "Hey, I know you've probably got a lot of people to lecture - I mean, uh, coach? - about the perfect s'more making process, but if you wanna stick around for a little bit and take a load off... I'm sure my nephew here would love to try a correctly made s'more, and you seem to be a world renowned s'more chef. He's never had one before and he deserves the best."

Mike was perfectly fine with munching on clumsily half-burnt marshmallows, no chocolate required, but he didn't want that to be El's first s'more and he did not have the patience to sit there and wait for a marshmallow to turn a nice gentle golden brown... he was not opposed to outsourcing, though.

[shelltasticday]

Ok I just read your easily fluster reader x rise!Leo, and wanted to take it the other way-

What if he's super smooth when the person Leo's flirting with has an embarrassed reaction, but he's trying to flirt with Y/N, who has very little dignity and is very competitive, to the point of outflirting Leo, and making him extremely embarrassed and flustered 😈. And Leo can't find something for them to be embarrassed about! Personal space? Grew up with a bunch of siblings, no such thing. Physical contact? They love it, can't get enough. Seemingly awkward situation? Diffuse it by not acting awkward about it.

Have it be frustrating to him, not be able to get a reaction out of them. Then, one day, he could figure it out- baby pictures. They're embarrassed about their baby pictures and being caught doing something goofy.

Was that too abrupt? Idk, hopefully not, but it there's any part you don't understand, you can totally improvise. Hope you enjoy! ~🌺👸

You! I like how you think, let's do this!

I'm not sure if this aligns with what you wanted or expected but, it's just where creativity took me.

Loved to think that Leo's flirting works better when he barely tries and reader is a bit more open to it, anyways, I present to you:

Leo and his journey to fluster a competitive, unaffected reader

● It all began when Leo decided to start flirting with you…

● "Hey, (y/n)! How's the most beautiful person in the world doing today?" he chimed with a wink, doing some finger guns as his brothers either cheered him on or were awaiting his failure, he couldn't tell, he only heard some giggles

● The pick up line took you off guard for a moment, however, after blinking twice, a grin that mimicked Leo's spread across your lips. "I don't know, how are YOU doing today?"

● Leo opened his eyes wide, his posture shifted, completely taken aback as he didn't expect this outcome at all. He mumbled, tripped over his words "Uh- I uh- That wasn't- I mean- Huh?" and a flush of red got to his cheeks

● "I'll take it you're doing alright!" you giggled and moved past him to catch up with the others before they could snatch the first slice of pizza. And Leo? Well, he finished processing what just happened as he turned around to watch you walk away, oh no, nononono no way he was the one left flustered… Where did that even come from? No no, he had to come up with something to get back at you, he had to, and so came forth the rest of his attempts

● Next time, he tried talking with you as he leaned on a wall, pulling off the classic pose so he could be closer if he wished so. And he did wish so, and he'd slowly lean more trying to close on your personal space but the proximity didn't seem to bother you either. You, in turn, could read him like a book and so you just kept looking at him in the eye, smiling and chatting as usual

● "Hey Leo! Where did ya put the Cheetos?!" Mikey's voice called out, and the second Leo looked away to answer, you took advantage to take him by the shoulders, spin you both around and have him against the wall. With you now being the one "trapping" him

● His brain catches up with the last few seconds after a bit. "Wha- when?" he asks, finding himself once again caught off guard. "It's your turn having somewhere to lean on, Leo, we don't want your back getting all tired, right?" you said innocently with a wink and a smile

● It doesn't even matter if you're shorter than him, he gets flustered from both how you turned tables on him and how close you get. He feels somewhat small when you're the one taking iniciative on this and he doesn't know if he hates it or loves it, it's so conflicting!

● But he blushes more when Mikey comes around thinking he wasn't heard the first time "Leo, where did you- Oh- Oops, sorry! I'll ask Raph if he's seen them" the younger turtle speed walked away as Leo tried to say "It's not like that! Mikey! Don't leave me here!" to no avail

● Leo is sitting on his bed, recounting events from the last weeks… He had tried hugging you from behind all romantic according to him, and you only giggled before hugging him back and initiating a group hug with everyone. Right… you liked physical affection. Okay, then he had invited you to train with him and teach you to use his swords, thinking he could be all suave and be behind you, with his hands over yours as he taught you to properly hold one blade but… you kinda wanted to do it on your own since "I've watched you do it hundreds of times, I'm sure I learnt something already!" or so you said

● Chocolates? Flowers? Received with a sweet thank you and a hug. Cooking for you? Well… you did like microwaved mac and cheese, but alright not his best attempt on wooing. No pick up line he threw at you worked, it was like you were ready with a bat to send them right back at him, nothing, nothing was working! Were you that oblivious? Were you making fun of him? Did you simply not like him that way and this is how you told him to take the L? Goddamnit… What did he have to do? Serenade you? No no, perhaps you'd mistake it as a karaoke session or even serenade him back

● The worst part for him is that YOU were the one landing all the blows, you had fed him a chocolate telling him to go "Ahhh" and GOD, did that make him weak! You were incredibly good with his sword for a beginner, and even with messy clothes and hair after training, to him you looked stunning. You kissed him on the cheek as a thank you for the food… It kinda seemed like all he did while trying to make you fall for him, was setting himself up to fall even harder for you. Even thinking about it again made him blush and sigh loudly as he fell back on the bed, unsure on what to feel

● That's when he heard music in the distance … Wait, music? Wasn't he alone in the lair?

● "SHELLDON?" he sat up again and called for the robot but nobody answered… weird. Leo went around looking for his brothers and father but found the lair empty, however, the music seemed to be coming from the arcade room and so he walked towards it, thinking Donatello had left some machine on or something but- oh-

● There you were, on the DDR, jumping happily on the pad to a loud pop song. He'd never seen you try that game out, he even kind of thought you didn't like it… well, until now

● The music came to an end alongside the score screen, you were a bit bummed that you didn't even make it to top ten but oh well… then you heard clapping. Clapping… you turned your face over your shoulder quickly, startled like a deer in headlights, oh no…

● Leo stopped clapping, with a genuine smile on his face. "That was great, (y/n)! Didn't know you got the moves!" his steps took him closer to the machine. "You know, I thought you didn't like to- (y/n)?". Was he seeing wrong? Was it the neon pink light from the game? Were you… were you blushing??

● "How long were you there?" you asked, sinking to your knees to hug them and hide your burning face, you thought you looked goofy when dancing, that's why you had come in to try the game out only when you thought everyone was out… Mikey didn't mention Leo had stayed, you thought they had all went out…

● "Uh, not long. You okay, though?" Leo kneeled beside you. "Something wrong?" He put a hand on your shoulder to soothe you, did he do something bad?

● "Yes, just, this is so embarassing" he heard your muffled voice say. "What is? Dancing?". You nodded. "You got flustered because I caught you dancing?" his voice got a bit loud and you shushed him, as if anybody else could've heard the conversation. "Yes!"

● Leo, once again, had to blink twice to get stuff to sink it. He laughed but not at you, more like at himself, all his attempts at getting you flustered, all the different plans, and the one thing that made it possible is something he didn't even see coming

● "Sorry". A chuckle. "Sorry, I'm not making fun of you" he said, patting you on the back. "I think you dance very well, you wanna play together?" Leo suggested, standing up

● You looked up to see how he was extending his hand to you, which you accepted and let yourself be pulled up

● You didn't know if it was the light, the silence, the angle or something else, but in that moment, with a calm smile and gentle gaze, with a firm hold on your hand… Leo looked a certain way, a way that made you perhaps stare a bit… a way that maaaaybe made your blush grow and reach your ears

● You decided to just return his smile, turn to the screen and hurry to choose another song. The blush was still present but you associated it with allowing him to watch you dance, yeah, surely it's that and definitely not because of the way he gave you a wink before stretching dramatically to get ready

● "Are you prepared to lose, (y/n)? I'll have you know that I'm great at videogames". You laughed and had a more confident smile this time "I'm gonna kick your butt, Leon! Loser pays the pizza!"

● "Deal!"

Here’s chapter 2 and a link to chapter 1!

Inconstans

Chapter 3

Leave Your Weapon on the Table

“”He needed to tell them

Casey slowly walked into the lair, hands in his pockets, feeling the syringes. He didn’t see anyone in the living room, but heard chatter in Donnie’s lab.

“Hey guys. What’s up?” He said with a fake smile as he walked in. “You are not gonna believe it” raph said to him.

“What?” Casey asked as he went up to them. He saw Mikey and Leo huddled over Donnie. Whilst Leo tried to keep a poker face, Mikey was wiggling with worry.

“Donnie figured out what’s in the mutadrug” Middy told Casey. “I hate that that became a thing” donnie muttered as he clacked into his computer.

Casey’s heart started to race. He tried to keep his voice steady to ask “so what’s in it?”. Casey started to feel sick.

“The mutagen used to make super shredder is the main ingredient” raph answered. Casey’s eyes widened at that response.

Nononono what had he done?

“What?” He asked, feeling like he would vomit. “Casey. Are you ok?” April asked him as she put a hand on his shoulder. “Yeah. You seem really pale” Middy chimed in.

“Yeah yeah. I’m fine I’m jus-“ he couldn’t finish as he felt something come up. “I’ll be right back” he muttered as he ran to the bathroom.

He locked the door behind him and vomited into a sink. He stood up shaky as his throat burned. He cleaned out the vomit with water, but he could’ve sworn he saw specks of blood.

He felt awful. He was shaky and cold and sweaty and weak-

He hadn’t realized he grabbed a syringe until he was uncapping it.

No!

“Hey, Casey. Are you ok?” April asked behind the door. He wasn’t sure how to respond. “Yeah, red. Just a stomach bug” he responded shakily.

“Do you want us to take you ho-“ “no!” He shouted at her, his head starting to hurt. “I can.. I can walk home, red. I just need a minute. Don’t worry.” He told her.

She wasn’t sure how to feel about that. She decided to look at his aura, but didn’t see anything indicating he was lying or keeping something…

Casey opened the door and looked at april. He looked really pale. “Are you sure you don’t want a ride?” She asked as she looked up at him.

“Yeah. I’ll be fine. Nice to see you care, red.” He said with a tired smile. “Someone needs to be” she said to him, causing them both to laugh.

Casey picked her up as he hugged her. “No stop. You’re crushing me” she joked. He put her down. “Hmm” she wondered.

“What is it red?” Casey asked. “Did you get taller?” She asked. “I don’t think so” he responded as he walked out.

Alright. Bye Casey!” She said to him, going to the lab to tell the others where Casey went.

-

Casey stumbled down the streets, losing his resolve as his home was so far.

He felt ill. His blood ran cold and his head throbbed. He felt the syringe in his pockets.

Why didn’t he give them back?

He sat down in an alley to rest.

Just to get ho-

No!

He saw across the street some muggers harassing a woman. He got out a syringe.

Don’t

You’re too weak

He injected the syringe into his arm, jumping up and running to stop the muggers as he felt the burn of the drug…. And the power in his veins…””

[thecomfortable]

Hi your works are really good. I woul really like to see a fic where Leo is working to hard so the bro’s decide he needs to relax... with tickles.

Oh sure! This is my first time answering a request, hope you like it!

-------------------------------

"C'mon Fearless... we've been on patrol for ages!" Raph yelled from the back of the group.

"Technically it's been 5 hours." Donnie corrected him. Raph shot him a glare.

"My point still stands."

"Guys we got the information, they have to be here!" Leo said gruffly. It was obvious that he was irritated.

"Chillax bro." Mikey chimed in from the ledge he was perched on. "You're relying too much on rumours."

Leo huffed impatiently and stomped towards another ledge, his eyes fixed on the road below. Nothing. No foot clan. No purple dragon. No suspicious activity at all. Leo sighed and swiveled around to face his brothers.

"Go ahead, laugh, I'm too tired to care." His brothers stared at him.

"I think you're the one that needs to laugh dude." Replied Mikey. Leo watched his brothers cautiously.

"What...?"

"You've been working hard all week Leo, we all think that you should just have some fun." Donnie smirked. Leo took a step back.

"No."

His brothers edged closer

"Stop."

Leo felt his shell hit the wall.

"Stop it."

They lunged.

"NONONONO- ACK!" Leo shouted as his brothers pushed him to the floor.

"Coochie coochie coo bro~" Mikey teased as his brothers tickled every place they could find. "See? Aren't you having fun?"

"STAHAHAHAHA- NO-! PLEAHAHAHSE!" Leo shouted as he squirmed around beneath them. Raph shoved his hands into Leo's underarms causing him to thrash frantically and laugh like a child. "GAHAHAAHD-! STOHOHO-! PLEASEPLEASE! I CAHAHAN'T-!"

"Are ya relaxed yet fearless?" Raph yelled over Leo's pleas for mercy.

"Happy?" Donnie chuckled.

"OHMYGAHA- YEHEHEHEHHES-!" Leo hiccuped. "I'M HAPPY! I'M HAHAHAHAHHAHAPPY!"

"Are you suuuuure?" Mikey sang in his cheery voice.

Leo kneed him hard in the stomach. The others burst into hysterical laughter and ceased the assault.

"Owwwww! Leo whyyyy bro?" Mikey groaned.

"Because, if you were too deaf to hear me, I already said yeEEEEE-!" Leo shrieked at Raph's sudden assault on his sides.

"Well I guess you aren't happy yet after all. Hope you don't get bored fearless... cause we ain't gonna stop until you relax~"

End.
