BAYVERSE BOYS - CARING FOR YOU WHEN SICK đ˘đ§Ąâ¤ď¸đđ
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authors Note: Iâm sick, so how about some headcanons about the (Bay) boys taking care of you when youâre not feeling well? đ
No warnings. Rated E for everyone??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERALL: (General headcanons that apply to all the turtles)Â
Due to the boys genetic engineering, they wouldnât be susceptible to most human illnesses (if any at all.) So, you wouldnât have to worry about quarantining away from your mutant boyfriend.
One of my personal favorite headcanons for the Bay Boys (thanks to @dontlookatmytmntcollection) is that they run hot. Their warmth would be comforting and somewhat medicinal (depending on the type of aliment you have.)Â
Looots of face kisses. Even though they canât contract your illness, it doesnât mean theyâre down to play tonsil hockey while snotâs dripping from your nose to lips and youâre trying to hack up your lungs every minute. So, you settle with kisses on your cheeks, forehead and ears.
âBabe, I canât come down to the sewers, Iâm sick.â â... Aight. Iâm coming to you then.â NOTHING, would stop these boys from coming to your aid when youâre not feeling well. I mean, it is their responsibility to take care of the citizens of New York. Theyâre definitely not using your illness as an excuse to get out the lair and cuddle with you till sunrise.Â
MICHELANGELO
Mikey doesnât like being contained to one spot or activity for too long, so he wants you to recover quickly which means: staying hydrated!! Heâll make sure youâre sipping water every quarter hour, and youâll have consumed at least three liters worth of fluid each day youâre sick.
However, you being sick does make for a great excuse to stay in bed and play video games. Heâs definitely busting out the handhelds, or heâs bringing in a bigger console for you two to start an action-adventure story game together!
If heâs not with you, heâs blowing up your phone with jokes, memes, and funny videos to make up for his absence. After all, laughter is the best medicine, right?
Makes you âGet well soonâ cards, and leaves them strewn about your place for you to find when heâs away. If you donât already have a vase for flowers, heâs bought you one and filled it with your favorite kind. (If itâs allergies thatâs got you down, heâll make sure to get fake flowers because you still deserve them! Just ones that wonât kill you! Lol!) Â Â
RAPHAEL
Surprisingly, Raph is the only one out of his brothers whoâd be fine with staying in bed with you all day. He hates it when youâre feeling bad, and just wants you to get well soon. So, if that means resting up and getting some good sleep then so be it. The manâs natural heat helps relieve sinus pressure and soothes you to sleep, so youâre grateful for his presence. (Even if he takes up most of the bed.)
The others donât know this, but Raph is really good at mani-pedis. Heâll trim, file, and shape your nails, as well as pushing back and clipping your cuticles to remove any dead skin. Color is up to you, which he also does surprisingly well for how large his digits are.
Sews you a shawl every time youâre sick. Which hopefully, is not too often, but even soâ Raphâs a pro at it, so it doesnât take him long to whip something up. Itâs unbelievably soft and retains heat like itâs him draping his arms over your shoulders instead of the cotton fabric.
He knows how important it is to maintain nutrients and keep your energy up when sick. To save you a mess of dishes and utensils, he puts together dump-n-go meals in a slow cooker! It ranges from soups, to stews, to pastas, and oatmeal. Theyâre all very tasty and thereâs a good amount of leftovers for the next day!
LEONARDO
Remember how I mentioned that Leo would be good at massages? Well, youâd be getting a lot of facials when sick. Heâs working on your sinuses to release pressure and unblock your nasal passages. He makes sure to do this before you lie down for bed, that way youâll sleep easier.Â
Cleans your whole damn room/house. A clean space makes for a clean mind; not to mention sanitization helps with a quicker recovery period. And since thereâs not much else for the two of you to do when youâre down and out, he might as well tidy up. Itâs nice to not have any cleaning to do once youâve recovered.
Depending on the severity of your sickness, Leo will suggest a workout. Nothing too strenuous!! Just something light, like yoga or walking to get you active. Youâve most likely been stationary for most of your illness and your body could use stretching. (I personally should probably apply this practice to real life, hahahaâŚ)
This may come as a surprise, but you watch a lot of trash TV together when youâre sick. Leo is one of those guys who thinks he has no interest and is above that kind of content, but snaps his head to attention when some drama goes down. And nothing makes you feel better than watching someone elseâs crummy life play out on the big screen. Â
DONATELLO
Has immediately placed a âclean bill of healthâ order on a delivery app, and sent it to your residence. The order consists of: over the counter meds, neti pots, electrolyte-infused drinks, multiple humidifiers (if you donât already have one), and a boat load of tissues. You think itâs too much tissue until youâve gone through multiple boxes in just one dayâŚ
Like his orange-clad brother, he would propose playing some video games if youâre feeling up for it. Although, unlike Mikey, heâd suggest you play something competitive or involving horror. Itâs to get your heart pumping and blood flowing. Of course, heâs creative in his remedies!
He draws up perfectly temperature baths for you with essential oils to ease your congestion and Epsom salt to relieve your muscle aches. He also throws in some bath bubbles cause it isnât only about feeling better! He wants you to relax and have some fun too!
If you got homework that needs done, housework that requires fixing, or bills to be paid, Donnieâs got you covered. The last thing you need to do while recovering is stress over tasks that he can easily take care of while youâre sick. (Not to mention, he takes much pride in being your go-to man.)Â

A WILD KROW APPEARED!
My AU version of Casey Jones Jr. from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who goes by the name of Krow Jones.
WILL ONLY RP WITH 18+ ROLEPLAYERS.
( HOME. ) ( CARRD. ) ( RULES. ) ( MUSE. ) ( MUN. ) ( ASK. )
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
It is said that when one does things and later reaps the consequences, the past catches up with them. But what were to happen if one caught up with the past?
Well, that was the story of Krowâs life.
The future was full of unspeakable terror and pain as the war against the Krang raged on, and Krow only got a taste of it. As the end drew near, he was sent back in time on a mission by his sensei to find a key and stop the Krang from taking over the world.
When the key got compromised and the Krang came through the portal, Krow despaired. He knew their doomed fate, and it felt like the final act was playing out in slow motion.
Yet like bold voyagers who chart their own course across the unknown, the heroes of the past blazed the trails of their destiny. With hope in their hearts, they rocked the universe so hard that it sent shock waves through time and space. That day, fate was nudged in a more fortunate direction. Their demise was prevented, and the past timeline was saved from the slimy tentacles of the Krang.
Krowâs mission was complete. Now what was he â a young man from the future, a âtime anomalyâ (as he had been described by the genius turtle), a person who did not belong there â supposed to do? He had yet to figure that out himself.
Every day was a new adventure, and the ride so far had been pretty intense. If he had his way, Krow would glide along for a bit, get his bearings, and figure out how to survive his biggest challenge yet: the crazy, crowded, noisy, blindingly bright, breakneck-paced past. There was much to see, learn, and do, all while being barraged by overwhelming sensations. Baby steps, the family assured him, were key. But while he took his time discovering the new world of the past, Krow figured that he wouldnât mind some company.

Wash Day
Pair: Donatello x Black Female Reader
Word Count: 4k
Rating: T?? (Characters depicted are adults)
Content/Trigger Warnings: N/A
Author Notes: Sooo⌠This is a bit random but I wanted to practice writing more fluff and felt compelled to do this. Sometimes it feels like I'm the only black person in the fandom, lol⌠So, I wrote this for the Melanin Queens out there.
I didn't go into great detail about hair type/hair length/hair products, because I wanted to keep this as open as possible for readers, but skin is: 'bronze", eyes are: "dark" and hair is: "coily/wavey."
(Slight spoiler: I also don't go into styling for this same reason.)
For my black girlies: I hope you enjoy. For everyone else: I hope you'll enjoy reading from a different perspective~ đ¤
ââââââââââââââââââ
It shouldnât have surprised you that Donatello had taken interest in a routine of yours. He was very attentive of all details about you⌠It was how he was with everyone if you were being honest. He liked to study and make note of things which made sense since he was the scientist of the group. But it was kind of different for him to specifically ask if you could demonstrate your hair washing process to him.
He had wanted to hang out and when you told him you wouldnât have time because it was wash day you didnât expect him to casually suggest allowing him to observe. You explained to him that you had nearly gone a whole month without cleaning your hair, so it would be a long and somewhat boring process from an outsider's perspective, but that didnât deter him. He only smiled and suggested that the time would pass more quickly with company and that he was curious to learn about the procedure.
So⌠You invited him over toâŚÂ watch.
It still felt weird that he was going to be observing. You had never done something like this for anyone before. Not even past loversâŚÂ Not that you and Donatello were a thing or anything like thatâŚÂ  But it was just a personal routine that you had done on your own for a long time now. You never thought about how someone else might find it interesting, especially a mutant turtle man who didnât have a single hair follicle on his being.Â
Although, you had caught him grazing the ends of your locks with the tip of his fingers once. In retrospect, the act had been harmless. But at the time, you had reared on him so quickly; thinking it was Mikey instead who had once bawled his green sausages into your luscious mane and messed up the style you had put your hair in for the day. The reaction miiightâve  scared Donatello from showing more interest until now.
Amidst your surprise, you hadnât thought about the arrangements of your process. Normally, you did your work in the bathroom of your apartment. However, with Donatello coming over to watch, you felt it would be too cramped and personal⌠But the alternative was breaking your neck over the kitchen sink, since you didnât have a detachable hose to work with. So, the shower it was⌠Although unlike your typical wash day experience, youâd be clothed during.Â
You wore a two-piece swimsuit under an old, light colored tee with black gym shorts. It felt strange stepping into the porcelain tub with all the garments on, especially since Donatello was just as dressed down as you were. And by that you meant: without his tech.Â
He had been standing just in front of your bathroom doorway, hands intertwined thoughtfully at his waist. Thankfully, the ceiling of the room had been high enough to where he didnât have to crouch to fit in with his giant form but since it was a bathroom, and the two of you were just hanging out, he left his techâŚÂ elsewhere in your apartment.
As if he would go anywhere without his gadgets.Â
Still, it was one of the few times you saw him dressed so casually. He traded in his usual maintenance suspenders for black sweats tucked into some frankensteined basketball sneakers versus his signature boots. He still donned his trademark features such as his purple mask and tortoiseshell glasses of course. But overall, his whole demeanor looked more relaxed despite being in a private space with you.
âSoâŚumâŚâ you trailed off into a nervous laugh. âI was never good with presentations.â You joked as you turned towards your shower's knobs.
âYouâre doing fine.â Donatello smiled warmly at you.
Your cheeks warmed in return, so you focused your attention away from him before he could notice your complexion darkening. You grabbed both the hot and cold handles of the shower. Turning them both about halfway, water came rushing out of the bottom faucet. You bent down a little bit, touching one hand to the running water to gauge its temperature. Dialing the cold handle back, the water began to heat up until it was at your preferred temperature of hot.Â
Turning your head back to him, you spoke. âSo, like with cleaning most things, I start off with hot water. It makes detangling my hair much easier and removes grime and buildup from the product I use.â You shrugged and quickly added, âOh! And hot water opens the pores on my scalp.â You brought your hands to the top of your head and ever so lightly scratched at it in a show of the motion of exfoliating.Â
Donatello nodded his head in acknowledgement, so you continued.Â
Pulling up the diverter valve of the bottom faucet, your shower head came to life.Â
You flinched a little when the water hit you. Not used to the feeling of being clothed when it happened, but you fell into your usual rhythm after the initial impact. Turning your back to the water, you dipped your head back and directly into the stream. You stood in place, turning your head back in forth slowly so the water would fully soak your hair. A few rogue streams cascaded down your face, and your eyes instinctively shut at the sensation. Feeling your locks become significantly heavier, you knew that they were thoroughly drenched and primed for detangling.Â
You wiped water from your eyes before opening them enough to glance at him. Seeing him patiently waiting for your input, you continued with the process. âI wait until my hair is pretty soaked before detangling it. Some people will use a special brush like this,â you bent over in the tub to pick up the nylon tool in question.Â
Using both of your hands, you spread the bristles open, showing the wide length in between them and the brushes flexibility. âThis is specifically a detangling brush. Itâs made to be so open and have give because you want something that glides through your hair effortlessly. The more resistance the more likely you are to cause breakage and frizz. Although, I generally prefer to use my fingers for the process. More control that way.âÂ
âInteresting⌠May I?â Donatello extended his arm.
You smiled a little, finding amusement in the fact that he was curious about a hairbrush, but you gave it to him anyways. It only made you smile more when he turned it over in his hands and surveyed it like it was some ancient relic.Â
As he poked and prodded at the bristles you got to work. Gently, you combed through your hair with your fingers. Your eyes falling shut again as you relaxed into the process. You went over it in sections. Going through it a couple of times until it felt akin to a hot knife cutting through butter.Â
You opened your eyes and glanced Donnieâs way to speak again, but noticed his attention wasnât on you anymore⌠Or at least, wasnât on your hair.
His gaze had drifted lower, which made yours do the same. Searching for whatever it was that pulled his focus, a brow arched in confusion when you couldnât find anything. You then wondered if there had been a stain or something of the like on your shirt, but there was nothing incriminating on the now translucent fabric.Â
You looked up at him questioningly, but his eyes were elsewhere now. Off to the side, looking into your bathroom mirror for seemingly no reason. It was then that you noticed the color on his cheeks were the faintest shade darker and it hit you.
You looked down to your chest again, which had been drenched in water. Your light tee was practically invisible as it clung to your glistening bronze skin, but you had prepared for that by wearing the two piece. Though, you couldnât deny how good your breast had looked sopping wet with the creases of your shirt folding into your cleavage.Â
â...Perv.â You smirked, and stopped running your fingers through your hair momentarily to fling some water at him.
He recoiled as if the droplets had stung him and his green complexion darkened even more on his face. He fiddled with the brush in his hands but said nothing in defense. You saw a small smile creep up on his face, and his eyes flickered back to you shyly as he felt your staring presence.Â
You huffed with satisfaction before continuing. âNow that my hair is detangled, it can go one of two ways. If I wanna be in and out of the shower, Iâll just run my shampoo through my hair. But if Iâm doing a deep clean, Iâll part it into twists; but the later usually takes longer so to save you some boredom Iâllââ
âNo! No!â Donatello faced you again, holding out a halting hand. âYou donât have to worry about me. Please, take your time.â
âSeriously?â Your brows knitted. âIsnât it⌠kind of boring? I mean, I know you're a genius and all so you like learning about stuff butâ this isnât really something of use to you.â
âSure it is. Itâs an important process of your lifestyle, and IâŚâ His sentence began to taper off as he realized what he was saying. You noticed the deeper green in his cheeks come up again.
âlike learning things about you...â He muttered but you were able to make it out through the sound of the rushing water.Â
Feeling the all too familiar heat, you were certain your cheeks had darkened in hue now.Â
âOkayâŚÂ Do you at least want to grab a chair or something?âÂ
A soft chuckle shook his shoulders. âIâm fine, thank you. Iâve endured far worse in the Hashi.â
âAlrightâŚÂ â You cocked your head and averted your eyes to the bottom of the tub. âI section my hair into twists, because it makes sure my hair stays untangled, and itâs easier to clean my scalp that wayâŚâ You mumbled bashfuly.
You were teasing him only moments ago. How the hell had he turned it on you so quickly?!Â
Donatello watched attentively as you weaved your fingers through your hair. Lapping the coily strands over one another into loose twists. They were firm enough to hold their shape underneath the constant current of the water, but lax enough to not cause damage to the cuticles. When you were nearing the end of that process, he suddenly spoke.Â
âCould I?...âÂ
Your dark eyes rounded at the implication.Â
â...You wanna try twisting my hair?â You asked for confirmation.Â
He nodded his head gently. âIf thatâs alright with you.â
âUh⌠Sure, but⌠youâll get wet.â
He huffed at the notion, smirking slightly. âWater doesnât bother me.â
âOfff course it doesnât. Youâre a turtle. Duh.â You chided yourself.Â
You turned your shower off temporarily, not wanting to waste water and then you nodded your head at him, signaling for him to come forth. You faced the unfinished side of your head towards him and waited in silence for his touch.Â
You drew in a breath and held it, feeling his large digits take your delicate hair into his hands.Â
He was gentle, which didnât come as a surprise. You had watched him work on gizmos and gadgets a lot, and you witnessed how precise and delicate he could be. Even with hands that were two times as big as yours. You felt him wind a section of your locks together and then pull away.Â
Leaning into your peripheral view, the top of his mask pushed upwards behind his glasses, giving a look of uncertainty.Â
Howâs that?â He asked, and you pawed the section.Â
It wasnât like you had tasked him to do some kind of difficult braid, but you were still impressed that the end result had felt similar to one of your own. Especially since you assumed it was his first time doing such.
âItâs good.â You glanced up at him with a small smile on your face. âJust one more section if you donât mind.â
His chest swelled and he beamed at your approval, nodding his head eagerly. âNot at all.âÂ
When he finished, you moved right into the shampooing process.Â
âSince itâs been about a month since I last washed my hair, Iâm gonna shampoo twice.â You said, bending over to the rim of the tub and picking up your preferred choice of shampoo. âThe bottle says to use a dime worth butââ You blew a raspberry and playfully rolled your eyes. âI donât fuck with dimes. Quarters at a minimum. âÂ
Donatello chuckled again at your remark.
You squeezed the desired amount into one hand. Setting the bottle back on the rim of the tub, you pressed your hands together. Rubbing the substance between your palms until it was a nice lathered consistency. You pulled the shampoo to your fingertips and then applied it to your scalp. Firmly, but carefully working it into your pores.
You closed your eyes again as you worked. Not caring if that meant Donatello would sneak more glances at your body while you did so.
âI give it a nice scrub down for a goodâŚ. Thirty-seconds to a minute. Then rinse.â
âYou're not gonna cover your twist?â Donatello spoke in an inquiring tone.
âNo, the water will carry the shampoo down and through them. Plus, itâs why I do two washes.â You opened your eyes to give him a wink.Â
His brow line jumped, and he smiled down at you. âI seeâŚâÂ
Turning the shower back on, you did your first rinse and then left the water running for the second.Â
Bringing up the bottle to dispense some more shampoo, you paused when Donatello spoke.
âMay I?â He asked again and you looked at him just as surprised as before.Â
It was one thing to do your twists, but to wash your hair? The only other people to do it were your parents and your stylist. You werenât sure if you wanted to get that personal with himâŚ
âS-Sure.âÂ
Okâ Maybe you did want to get that personal with him.
Before you could hand him the bottle, he did something else that thoroughly surprised you. He lifted a foot, and ducked down to remove his shoe and sock, then did the same with the other foot. He placed both articles neatly together and off to the side of the bathroom, and then stepped into the tub behind you before you could object.Â
Your eyes widened and mouth hung open with disbelief. Instantly, you felt a feverish heat rush up to your chest and up your neck to your face. The embarrassment seemed a bit foolish considering the both of you were technically clothed but-- he had gotten in the shower with you like it was nothing!!
You quickly turned forward out of sheer panic and sputtered. âY-Your pants!â He was fast with a response. âTrust me, theyâve been through worse.â
âWonât your glasses fog up?â
âI designed them to have anti-fog lenses.â
âI didnât bring a towel for you!â
âThen Iâll just wait in here for you to bring me one.â You could hear a smile in his tone and it made the corners of your mouth twitch.
âYouâre a tall shit, you know that?â You huffed and he did as well before extending an arm in front of you.Â
He held out his palm and flexed it open and close in a grabbing motion. Physically asking for the shampoo bottle. You plopped it in his hand and remained facing forwards. Taking the brunt of the water to your chest.Â
âA quarters worth?â He asked.
âMhmm.â You hummed in response.Â
You could hear him rubbing the substance between his hands, but you werenât prepared for the warm touch of his fingertips against your scalp. You flinched in an exaggerated manner and he immediately pulled away.Â
âSorry! Did I press too hard?â This time he sounded genuinely concerned.Â
â...No, I justâ Itâs nothing.â You shook your head lightly. Taking in a deep breath, you composed yourself and held your chin up. âGo ahead.â You commanded and braced yourself for his touch this time.Â
He waited a few seconds before bringing his finger tips to your head again. He pressed them carefully into your scalp and slowly started moving his fingers in small circles. Your head gently rocked at the motion and the two of you stood in silence for a few seconds as he worked.
â.....You can go a little harder.â You instructed.
âO-okayâŚâ He said hesitantly but did as he was told.Â
He kneaded his fingertips firmly against your head and you couldnât help but crane your neck backwards to add to the effect. It wasnât long before your eyelids fell heavy and you relaxed into his hands. Allowing him to massage your scalp clean. You relished in how good it felt not having to break your neck over the salon sink, but still having someone else to do the work.Â
Despite it being his first wash, he had managed to apply the perfect amount of pressure that your conscious almost drifted away, but the constant stream of water kept your senses alert. He seemed to recognize your peaceful state however, as he leaned in close to speak in a hushed tone.Â
âI think youâre ready to rinseâŚâ The words tickled your ear and sent a delightful shiver down your spine.Â
Reluctantly, you opened your eyes.
Donatello stepped backwards, giving you the space to turn around in the shower so you could position yourself underneath the water again. Putting your back to the water, you let it run over you. Gently rubbing out the bubbles and suds on your scalp.Â
With clean hair, you shut off your shower and started the final process of your routine.Â
âSo⌠Youâre undoing your twist now?â He asked in a curious tone.Â
âYes, because unlike with the shampoo, I do want to cover every inch of my hair with conditioner.â You answered as you unraveled one section. âHand me that little tub over there.â You pointed and waited for him to retrieve the product for you.
He took a second to examine the label on the back of the container before handing it over to you. You twist open the top, and placed it down on the rim of the tub before holding it up and within the vicinity of his face.Â
âSmell.â You scooped out a glob of the product onto your fingers and held the container with your other hand for him to take.Â
He took the container from you, bringing it up to his snout and taking a dainty whiff of it. His eyes grew a little and he looked at you with recognition. âOooh. So, this is what makes your hair smell so good.â
âThat and a few other products.â You giggled as you applied the thick cream to your strands. âSooo⌠Youâve smelled my hair before?â You raised a brow at him and smirked teasingly.Â
âNot in a creepy way.â He mimicked your expression.
âMhmm .â
âIâm a mutant turtle. Turtles naturally have a heightened sense of smell, and when you combine that with biogenetic mutationââ
âYeah! Yeah! Youâre in the clear!â You waved him off with a hand. âFor nowâŚâ
Pulling out each section of twists, you lathered your locks with a generous amount of conditioner. Donatello reached out with his free hand and gently touched the ends of your hair with his fingertips. His head cocking slightly as he admired your freshly cleaned coils.Â
âIt already looks rejuvenated.â
âJust wait and see how it looks tomorrow.âÂ
He lifted his head at your comment. âTomorrow?â He echoed.Â
You blinked at the question but then realized that he probably assumed youâd be washing out the conditioner immediately. âOh! Yeah,â you bent down picking up a small bottle of ochre colored liquid infused with crushed herbs. Twisting the cap off of it, you used the attached dropper to apply the product to your hair. Stroking it in with the conditioner. âThis is why I generally canât hang out on wash day. Itâs an overnight process.â You answered.Â
Pulling your hair back into a loose bun, you reached across Donatello and grabbed the towel that was hanging on a rack next to the tub. You used it to dry only your face and body before folding it around you and stepping out of the shower.Â
âI wrap my head up with a shower cap, and then my bonnet.â You picked up a plastic head wrap from your bathroom sink counter and then the satin one to show him the two head pieces before putting them on in said order. âThe heat coming off my head underneath the wraps will essentially bake the product into my cuticles. And the longer I do that for, the betterâŚÂ In my opinion.â You shrugged and smiled a little.Â
âO-Oh⌠So, technically the process is done in the morning then?â He asked.
âOr whenever I wake up.âÂ
You watched with confusion, however, when Donatelloâs gaze dropped to the bottom of the tub. Cocking your head, you waited for him to speak, but seconds passed in silence. Just as you parted your lips to call out to him, he looked back up at you.Â
âI guess youâll have to show me how you style your hair another time then.â One side of his mouth quirked into what looked like a disappointed smile. âI have to get back to the sewers before day break, and I shouldnât move in the light eitherâŚâ He cupped his hands below his waist and shrugged as well.
âThe whole⌠âwork in the shadowsâ thing. â
âOh⌠Right.â Your lips stayed agape as you thought on his circumstances. You knew them to be true, and they were completely justified. Even though there were a handful of humans that did know about his existence, he and his family wanted to remain unknown to the general public. He wouldnât be able to return to your apartment until the next night, and while the treatment would stay in your hair for at least eight hours; you werenât sure if it would be advised to leave it in any longer than that.
Your tongue swiped over your bottom lip while you considered your options. You could do a thirty-minute treatment instead, or make another day with him styling your hair.
âŚ..Or a third option.
Your fingertips rubbed together at your sides, and you bit your lip at the idea. It was probably too forward, but you wouldnât know until you suggested it.Â
âOrâŚâ You started and instantly felt your cheeks burn hot. âYou could stay the night?...â You looked to him with arched brows before quickly adding, âIf you want! And if thatâs okay?..â
His bottom lip dropped and his eyes blinked rapidly behind his glasses. The smooth confidence he emitted before seemed to have vanished as he was loss for words. You winced at the silence that filled the space between the two of you again, but the motion mustâve turned a gear in his head. Suddenly, he jolted and nodded eagerly.Â
âYe-Yeah!!â He sputtered out. Flush darkening his cheeks as well. âThat would be fine! I justâ will have to let the others know that I wonât be coming home till laterâŚâ His sentence trailed off at the end as his gaze dropped again, although it was clear that he was processing everything in his head.
You couldnât help but to giggle and feel satisfaction in catching him off guard.Â
âCool.â You smiled. âWe can stay up late playing video games, or watch some movies.â
Or cuddleâŚÂ You thought.
âTwo of my favorite things to do with my favorite person!...âÂ
You watched his eyes widen with panic when you gave him a look of surprise. He held up his hands, and went to speak, but you quickly cut him off by ducking out of the bathroom. You returned shortly after with a fluffy large towel in hand, and Donatello was still standing in the tub. You chucked the towel into his chest, and he grasped it with one hand.
âMake sure you wipe down good. You wouldnât want to get your 'favorite personsâ couch wet.â You winked at him.Â
Eventually, his faced relaxed into a soft smile. âRight.â
The two of you stared at each other with content for several seconds before you broke the silence with another teasing remark.Â
âIâmma see if I got a bonnet that will fit your head.â You snickered and he chortled.Â

Love and fire, the only two options.
Based on this kids version of Les Miserables of all things that I find *extremely* entertaining. One day these children will level up to the real book and have the pleasure of reading a whole chapter about the priest who never shows up again.
I promise I love Les Miserables but it's *incredibly* difficult to recommend. Don't ask why I immediately thought of TMNT for this, I had a vision and I shared it, autism is a powerful thing.
These pages immediately follow each other
#i never post but i wanted to share this book#fellow classic literature fans get on this its way better than the original#because classic lit fans have so much overlap with tmnt fans#obviously#rottmnt#tmnt#its actually very adorable but its les Miserables so its also very jarring#sure this combination of things is niche but its my niche#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#my art
