#and the Raph one made me giggle like crazy

[memes-in-a-half-shell]

The bayverse boys would 1000% have beef with your pet turtle and would consider it a betrayal of the highest order if you so much as looked at it (or, god forbid, showed it affection) in their presence.

They would certainly feel ... something LOL

Leo

"Oh, alright, I see how it is. Cool, cool, cool..."

He wants to be the ONLY turtle in your life! What can that one do? It can't talk. It can't hug you back. It can't protect you. Everytime he looks at the small terrapin, it's always with a slight disdain - this little sneer you always catch out of him. You try to have him involve in the pet's care, but you soon give it up when you see him teasing the poor thing with a salad leaf, always getting it out of the reptile's reach as it comes close to munching on it.

"What? I'm just trying to train him to get faster and hone his ninja reflexes. Come on!"

***

Raph

"Watchu lookin' at, punk?"

You do notice that your pet is acting a bit more... defiant everytime Raphael steps into the room. And the mutant knows that as well, he can sense it. And he's NOT going to get overthrown by some dooky-ass lookin' wet turtle BITCH. The moment he sees that fucker starts to flutter his front claws in the glass and in HIS general direction, the fight is on. You just step in one day, fidning both Raph and your turtle in a tapping fight marathon; your pet slapping the glass and the mutant tapping his indexes rapidly against it as well, determined to last longer than the animal.

"I'll show you who's boss, ya nasty son of a dirty cloaca."

***

Donnie

"A pet turtle? Seriously?"

He's not absolutely against it ... it just feels a bit weird, you know? There's no denying that Donatello will spend some time studying it - just 'cause he's curious, leave him be. But that's also how you find out that these mutant guys can make other sounds as well... You first hear the usual little chirps coming out of your pet's tank, then comes out a low churr-like sound, reverberating from Donnie's chest and ending in a question sounding chirp. You just stare as the "discussion" unfolds, catching the mutant frown a little.

"Fascinating," he started. "We can understand eachother, but that damn turtle has one filthy mouth. I think you should stop swearing around it... He just called me a motherfucking freak!"

***

Mikey

"You wish you were me, brah."

He doesn't say it outloud that he's jealous... but you do see it in his eyes whenever you pick your pet up or just take care of it generally. He can be cute too!! He can be cuddly turtle, if you just ask. Michelangelo will try to show off whenever around that pet of yours; puffing up his chest, flexing his arms, actively flirting just to grab your attention. But then one day you needed to clean the tank and put your turtle on a little skateboard for it to move around the place freely, and that gave Mikey pause...

"Okay ... actually he's cool. Go off, lil' fella. Do an ollie!"

They are now best friends.

Ninja's Heartstrings

Summary:

Leo and Raph are in love with you, and they both show it in their own unique ways, sparking constant clashes that make Donnie and Mikey uncomfortable, causing conflicts within the group.

Beyond enjoying their attention, you begin to realize that you have strong feelings for both of them, and you find yourself torn between whom to choose. But one day, it dawns on you: Aren't brothers supposed to share everything?

WARNINGS: NSFW (suggestive) / part one of two of an eventual trio-smut / +18 MDNI / Leo and Raph are in their late twenties /

Master Splinter always said that a ninja must be observant. After so many years of hearing that statement, Leo noticed he applied that principle not only on the battlefield but also in his personal life, which sometimes left him wondering whether he had incorporated it as a part of his personality or if he simply couldn't help but scrutinize things in detail when it was about you.

He paid attention to the way your hair moved when you walked, to the glow in your eyes when you were happy. He noticed the way you frowned when displeased and sighed when disappointed. He marveled at how absolutely ravishing you looked no matter what you wore. It wasn't fair how you could weaken him without even trying. 

Leo couldn't help the look of excitement in his eyes as they followed you when you entered the lair. And certainly, he couldn't stop his heart from pounding like crazy when you noticed and waved at him. However, it was Raphael who you approached. 

He casually held you by the waist as you showed him the film you had brought for the usual movie night. It was only then that Raph darted a quick look at Leo across the room. A sly smirk came with it. Of course he knew. Leo understood right there that his feelings for you slipped through him like water through fingers. Whenever he looked at you, his gaze held such a depth of sentiment that it was impossible to conceal. 

Of course, Raph knew, and he made it very clear that he felt the exact same way about you, and he wasn’t giving you up. It was evident in every protective move he made around you: casually placing his hand over the sharp edges of the furniture whenever you passed too close, serving you the largest slice of pizza, or giving you the bigger piece when splitting a piece of chocolate in half. He would take you home each night after your visits to the lair on his motorbike and come back smiling like a true fool.

Leo sighed, resigned. He loved his brother and would be more than happy to share his contentment at being with someone as wonderful as you. Yeah, maybe that was the right thing to do. 

"Hey, aren't you coming?" you turned to ask.

You smiled at him as if your heart was physically calling for him. Ah, crap. He wouldn’t stand seeing you smile like that to anyone else. That day, the leader in blue set his mind on one thing and one thing only: he would fairly win you over. Leo grinned back at you with a dangerous glow in his eyes.

"Yeah, make some room for me."

*****.

“She’s gonna be here soon,” Mikey said as he arranged the cushions on the living room sofa. He had already cleaned up the empty pizza boxes and now Donnie was placing them in a black plastic bag along with other trash remains. 

The gentle, yellow-tinged warmth light permeated through the grooves in the ceiling, barely kissing the furniture surface. 

“Yeah, hope things don’t get weird again,” Donnie said.

He spoke in a somewhat whining tone, as he rolled his eyes. Mikey chuckled.

“Tell me about it. Which of them will snap first this time?”  

“My bet is on Raph.” 

“Hmm, I don’t know, Leo was this close last time!” 

Mikey made a tiny gesture with his fingers as he giggled to the thought of Leo’s deep frown when you chose Raph to cuddle with while watching the movie the last time you were there.

“I was close to what?” the leader interjected, arms crossed. His gaze was skeptical as his tone curious. 

“Oh, you know, demanding a duel combat with Raph owing to jealousy,” Donnie answered as he tied a knot in the black plastic bag.

Leonardo's expression darkened. 

“What?” 

Mikey gulped, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the abrupt change in the atmosphere, but he remained quiet. 

“Come on, don’t play dumb. You know what I’m talking about.'' 

"Who's playin' dumb?"

Raphael entered the living room then, pop-corn on one hand, a soda can in the other. His voice was so glowy it made his good mood palpable. 

“No one. Donatello is just overthinking stuff,” Leo deflected. 

Raph let out a closed-mouthed chuckle. “When isn't he?”

Donnie gaped, offended.  

“Excuse me?! I’m not overthinking anything. I’m just stating the facts.” Donatello whined while putting off the bag.

“Which are?” Raph asked while leaning on the opposite wall on which Leo was standing.

 "You both need to cease displaying such—" he paused for a moment, attempting to pinpoint the precise words to encapsulate the entire situation. "Enticing behavior towards her!"

"What?" Raph managed to force out a scoffing chuckle to mask he had choked on his soda. 

“Oh, please,” Donatello said sardonically. 

Raph was about to retort but Mikey spoke first. 

“Look, we’re just saying it’s obvious you’re both into her, and sometimes it’s uncomfortable to be trapped in the middle of—”

“Of whatever mating rituals you’re putting out to win her over,” Donatello finished, tired of feeling cringed every time you visited the lair.  

The door swung open just then, before anyone else could utter another word. You strode to the room, and all heads turned in your direction.

"Hey, guys!" you greeted with a cheerful tone, but you couldn't ignore the heaviness in the atmosphere settling onto your shoulders. The four turtles exchanged a knowing look. "Did I miss something?"

“No! no, we were just having a… creative discussion” Mikey said quickly, smiling. His fingers fidgeted close to his plastron. 

“Couldn’t decide which movie to watch tonight,” Leo said in a much more smooth tone. “Think you can help with that, doll?” 

His voice was velvety as he addressed you. Rapahel rolled his eyes, and Donatello murmured something you didn’t quite catch. 

“I could bring up some options, I guess.” 

"Be my guest," Leo extended his hand to escort you to the sofa, but Raph swiftly slapped it away before you could grasp it.

"She knows the way. You're not a damn host," Raph growled under his breath.

"Oh my God, I can't take this anymore. I'm calling it quits for tonight," Donnie declared, turning to face you. "It's wonderful to see you, but I've got some lab work to wrap up. Enjoy the evening, and make yourself at home." Donnie bid you farewell with an apologetic smile. He shot his brothers a glare of frustration as he left.

“I’m off too… places to be, pizza to eat, you know!” Mikey let out a chuckle before vanishing from sight.

You stood there, utterly perplexed. After a few moments of processing how everyone had essentially fled the movie night, you shifted your attention to Leo and Raph, your expression demanding answers. Impatience grew with each passing second as your foot tapped the floor in rhythm.

"Well? What's going on?"

“They’re party poppers, don’t mind them. Now c'mon, sit with me.” Raph placed his arm around your shoulders casually, offering you popcorn with the other. Leo was about to make a comment but you spoke first.

“Actually…” you said slipping away from his hold smoothly, “I want to sit with Leo tonight.” 

Raphael clenched his jaw, “Fine, whatever. What are we watching?” 

You frowned at the sudden harsh tone, but didn’t really understand the problem. You had indeed sat beside him last time. Was he…?

“Come on Raph, don’t be a sore loser.” 

"I ain't lost nothin' yet," he shot back, with a determined tone.

"Hey, uh, guys?" Your voice wavered with a mix of uncertainty and squeakiness.

They both shifted their attention to you, guilt flashing across their faces as they registered your puzzled expression. Raphael let out a sigh.

"Ya know? I actually gotta kick some butts tonight." 

He handed you the popcorn bowl as he finished the soda, strolling toward the door.

“What?! you’re leaving too?” You asked, reaching out to him but Leo grasped your hand, stopping you in your tracks. 

“Let him go, he needs to cool down,” the leader whispered to you. 

"Sorry, sugar, catch ya next time... unless ya wanna swap flicks for somethin' more thrillin'," he smirked, taking a few steps back to get a good look at you. Raphael adored the way your eyes lit up at his words, but he wasn't thrilled about Leo's hand holding you in place.

“That’s tempting, but I really wanted to do something chill tonight. See you around Raph!'' 

He shrugged, seemingly dismissive. “Your loss.” 

It wasn’t visible but the amount of self-control that took him to just go was huge. He would rather leave than seeing you glued to his brother's side all night and he knew better than trying to make you change your mind. Additionally, starting a fight could make matters worse, and he didn’t feel like falling from your good side. 

“Now, what if you show me your favorite movie?” Leo smiled, but this time there was something more to his smile. 

*IIII*

You both were sitting on the couch, his arm over your shoulders and your head leaned against his own. Outer-thighs barely touching. His breathing was even, plastron moving calmly. You hadn't really gotten used to watching it up close. It was pretty. Marked with small indentations which made it look like you could run your nails over them… and so you did, jolting him a bit, but Leo just glanced at you, flashing a smile before returning his eyes to the tv. He stood still despite his heart hammering loudly. Could you hear it? He tensed. 

You were absorbed touching him, imagining –not for the first time– how would that part of him feel against your own. Bare skin to skin, your nipples rubbing on the hard surface of his chest. Your breath hitched. It wasn’t right to have this kind of fantasies when he was right beside you, yet you couldn’t help yourself. Your mind simply took life of its own and started to produce several indecorous images. 

It was like that night with Rapahel, the other day. 

Both of you were riding on his bike, he told you he wanted to show you one of his favorite spots to watch the city lights and you traveled hugging him from behind, chest against his shell. Scratches and marks of combat decorated his carapace. His muscly shoulders barely peeked from ahead and you would have given everything to just let your hands wander his entire back. 

“Well, here we are,” he said, stopping the motorbike before he jumped off in one smooth movement. 

“An abandoned building?” you said skeptically, following him to the creepy dark entrance. 

“Scared?” he teased, looking back at you with a smirk. 

“As if.” 

It was indeed quite gloomy, Raph's presence dispelled your fears. Naturally, you'd rather meet your end than admit it out loud and inflate his ego to an even more dangerous extent.

He entered, and you trailed closely. The space resembled an abandoned hotel lobby, with wood marred by moss and the steel of the staircase corroding. A peculiar blend of natural light and the faint reflections of neon-glowing advertisements scarcely penetrated through the shattered windows. Somehow, you thought, it was something along with Rapahel aesthetics.

You two ascended the ladder, and with each step, your body pulsed with anxiety, the thought crossing your mind that perhaps the stairs wouldn't bear the weight of both of you since they creaked strangely with each step. But those were unfounded worries. Soon, you reached the top floor, and Raphael swung open the door that led to the roof. New York City at night, seen from the pinnacle of an abandoned building, offered a breathtaking view.

He perched on the edge and extended his hand to you. Without hesitation, you took it, settling beside him, your legs dangling over the cars bustling along the avenue below.

“Raph this is amazing!” you said, unable to repress a smile. 

“I know” he hesitated before continuing, “I used to come here a lot… back then.” 

You turned to him, his expression was deep, and you decided not to let go of his hand.

“When you were a merciless vigilante?” you tried to joke and he smiled, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. 

“Come one, I wasn’t ‘merciless’ I actually gave them many chances to withdraw.” he lied, jestingly “Guess they loved having their asses kicked.” 

You laughed at that and this time he seemed more relaxed. 

“Or maybe they stupidly thought they could defeat you” 

"They should've known better. I'm faster and stronger than 'em. Always have been," he boasted with that air of superiority that you adored. "Besides, no one stands a chance against the Nightwatcher."

"Or big metal turtle, like Casey called it," you chuckled. "Man, I would've loved to see you in that armor," you mused absentmindedly after a couple of seconds, and he shot you a smirk.

"I still got it. I might wear it if you ask me real nice," he said smoothly, with that low tone that sent shivers down your spine and made your thighs clench. Yet, you didn't let it show.

"Ooh... please show me?" you said, offering him your most charming smile. Raph laughed, his voice raspy and deep.

"You'll have to do better than that." 

"Come on, Raph, you want me to beg?" you protested, shifting carefully to avoid falling. His eyes sparkled, and his smirk grew wider.

"Fine," you whined, "could you please try on the armor for me?" Raphael scoffed.

"That was still kinda weak, but I suppose it'll have to do." He started to move as if to stand up, but you instinctively interlocked your fingers with his, not even thinking about it. His eyes flicked down to your hands and then back to you, questioning.

"Not tonight, though. I'm too comfy to move," you remarked. As you said that, you pressed your side against his, and he gently tightened his grip on your fingers. It felt wonderful to be close like that, in a peculiar kind of embrace amid the heights, incredibly intimate and heartwarming. A few seconds passed during which you both simply gazed at the city and how far the streets stretched. Then, he softly called your name, his hold on your hand trembling slightly.

"I've been meanin' to tell ya somethin'," he began, and you looked at him with a small smile.

"What?"

Raph moved closer, his eyes ensnaring yours with their intensity. There was something in them, a gaze concealing a sentiment he'd been bottling up until now, much like you had. He lowered his face, resting his forehead against yours, and your noses brushed against each other.

"You can tell me anything," your voice barely more than a longing whisper. Your mouth drew nearer to his with each passing moment, your half-closed eyes revealing your desire.

The high-pitched wail of a siren, accompanied by the flicker of red and blue lights, made Raph growl as he reluctantly tore himself away from you.

"Duty calls." He breathed with flushed cheeks before clearing his throat.

Something – someone – shocked your arm repeatedly, pulling you out of the sweet memory. Leo was gazing at you with a mix of amusement and doubt, as if he were anticipating something from you.

"I'm sorry, what?" you said, blinking a little.

"I asked if you'd like more popcorn." He gestured to the empty bowl, and you gasped. Had you devoured it all by yourself, lost in your own mental movie?

"Oh no! No, thank you." You felt heat burning the back of your neck as color crept to your cheeks when you realized that he might be asking because he was the one who wanted more, since you had selfishly eaten it all on your own. "B-but if you want more, I can go get some."

Leo chuckled at you before smiling sweetly. "It's fine, I'm good."

"You know, there's something I'll never understand about romantic comedies," you changed the subject as the movie continued. You couldn't quite keep quiet now, perhaps due to nervousness. "And it's why they only seem to make you yearn for a lover so perfect."

Leo raised a brow.  

"How's that?" he asked, leaning closer, and you could feel his cheek resting on your head. You thought he must look cute, eyes still on the TV as your chest tightened with the desire to hug him.

Slut. 

The thought came so fast and so forcefully, crashing onto you from the back of your head to your eyes, throbbing. Slut. Hadn't you just been remembering how you felt in Raph's arms a literal second ago? Then why? Why did what you were feeling right now seem so close to that, if not even the same...

"Well, th-the protagonist's romantic interest is always too stunning for real-life standards. There's no one that perfect," you continued the conversation, trying to block your own thoughts.

Leo shifted to look right into your eyes. "I wouldn't be so sure about that," he said, flashing you a charming smile. You blushed even harder this time.

"Oooh, don't tell me you think you've found the one," you teased, trying to escape the cringe of your own mind without realizing you were digging your own grave.

Leo kept his little grin and nodded. "I think I may have, yes."

"How's she like?" You knew he was talking about you; all of his body language screamed so. Leo seemed to think for a second.

"Too stunning for real-life standards," he said with a sly look, and you lightly smacked him on the arm with the back of your hand while chuckling. But then he added in a small whisper, "She doesn't seem to mind."

You frowned, "Mind what?"

Leo shrugged, his gaze suddenly fixed on the TV. You weren't supposed to hear that.

"Leo?" you prompted.

"We are ninjas," he started, "and we have acclimated to the idea of living forever banished in the shadows. Alone. Not only because of the secret oath to protect this city, but because of the way we look. Whenever we're together, she looks at me as if..." he locked his gaze on yours again, filled with deep yearning and adoration, "as if she doesn't mind.."

He wasn't talking only about appearances. You deserved someone who could spend time with you during the daytime too. You should get to be with a guy who's able to accompany you to family dinners, publicly celebrate your relatives' or friends' birthdays, heck, someone who could take you to your graduation dinner or job promotion celebrations. He couldn't do all of that, but you already knew, and you didn't seem to care.

"And when she's with me, I feel like I could actually be bold enough..." he leaned closer, eyes half-lidded in craving. His face was now just two inches away from yours, "to kiss her."

The glimmer of his gaze was drawing you into a warmer world, one in which you knew you'd be safe within his arms. Your past worries were now forgotten, lost in the midst of his shallow breaths. 

"Yeah? So why don't you try it out?"

"I might just do that now."

"My son."

Both of you jolted back at the sound of Master Splinter's voice, followed by a throat clearing. You felt your whole body turn red with embarrassment. How long had he been there?!

Leo's expression was priceless, so startled despite his ninja skills. It was so funny that it almost made you forget your embarrassment.

"We were just watching a movie." 

Despite his age, Leo still felt the need to explain himself but didn't move, and he didn't allow you to either. It was his way of acknowledging that he was a grown adult sharing a moment with... well, what were you to him? More importantly, what was he to you? The worries came back strongly, throbbing like a headache.

"A movie that has finished, I suppose?" his dad said, gesturing to the black screen. Leo flashed a look before you spoke.

"Yes, it was very entertaining. Thank you for having me here, Master Splinter," The mutant rat held a serene expression, apparently pleased with your words, "but it's getting late. I should take my leave."

Leo reflexively squeezed your body against his and let go as soon as he realized.

"You don't have to go, dear; my novel is about to start, and you both can stay and watch it with me," he said affably. However, upon noticing his son's expression, he quickly added in a sigh, "Or you can move your date to your room."

Date. The world seemed to strike a chord on you both.

"Actually, I do have some things to do at home. I'm sorry," Leonardo's disappointment was visible through every line of expression on his face. He straightened up, however, and gave you an understanding nod.

"I'll take you home," he told you, moving toward the part of the lair where they stored the turtle-van.

"No! I mean, no, thank you. I think it's better if I go by myself." Leo frowned, doing his best to hide the growing panic burning in his chest. Were you having regrets about the moment you shared just now?

"Thank you anyway, Leo. Goodnight, Master Splinter."

**IIII**

The sound of the rain falling over the roof of your place was exactly what you needed to calm your nerves. You lay on your bed, watching the little drops drip down the glass window. It had been three days since you were in the lair. During this time, you strategically ignored the calls of both Leonardo and Raphael.

You needed time to think about what to do. By this point, it was undeniable that you felt something very strong for both of them. It made no sense to avoid it or deny it. The only thing you had to do now was decide. You huffed, hating the fact you couldn't have both. And then it hit you: why can't you? Who says one must love only one person?

You grabbed your phone from your purse. If there was someone who could help you confess your feelings to both of them and somehow convince them a poly-relationship could work without causing a war, that was April.

Tickletober Day 17- Raspberries

This is a Rise fic! Maaaybe was self-induglent.. just a little. (It's just Leo being bullied, really)

@smiley-star Lee Leo :)

Lee: Leo

Ler: Mikey

TW!: SWEARING!

Leo bounced his leg on his bed, tapping his fingers on his arm. He had felt jittery today, like he had drank three cups of coffee, even though he had been forced to cut down after staying up for almost a full week straight sometime last month.

To be fair, Donnie did that all the time, but Raph just wouldn't let another brother with that degree of a bad sleep-schedule slide.

The blue-themed turtle sighed, instead tracing over the lines of his palm. The slightly tingly sensation calmed him down a bit, until that same feeling returned in his stomach. After a second, the slider realized what it was. A lee-mood.

The turtle groaned quietly, choosing to ignore it for the time being. Everyone was tired, having had a crazy run-in with some mutants last night, and no one would want to deal with whatever he wanted. It wasn't a priority.. it could wait..

"LEO!"

He flinched, body pausing before turning around on his bed to face the doorway. It was Mikey's voice, which was weird, considering the youngest would usually greet everyone at their own doors. "Yeah? What is it?" He listened for a response, but none came. "WHAT?!"

"COME HERE!"

Leo sighed, tightening the drawstring on his hoodie to hide his face, which was probably flushed from his newfound.. mood. He left his room, feet shuffling on the ground as he made his way to the source of the voice. Walking across the lair, he immediately paused at the entrance of his brother's room.

Mikey was sitting on the floor, arms crossed over his chest. Next to him was a paint splatter, covering the majority of what looked like the youngest's most recent artwork. "Aw, Mike.. your painting.. are you okay?"

The box turtle shook his head, pressing his arms harder around himself. "No! All day, no one has wanted to hang out, and was asleep for the entire morning! I had to eat breakfast by myself, so I went to paint to feel better, but then I spilled a bunch of stupid red everywhere!"

Frustrated tears were building up in the smaller's eyes. Leo quickly went to sit down next to him, holding his arms out to comfort him. Mikey sniffled, flopping into the elder's hold. "I'm so sorry, we didn't mean to leave you alone like that-"

"No.." the younger interrupted, resting his head on his brother's shoulder. "It's not any of your fault.. I'm just.. overwhelmed." Leo nodded, squeezing him into a hug. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Mikey nodded. "I just have a lot of energy built up.. could I.. uhm-" he paused, the elder nudging him to continue. "try tickling you..?"

The question was so quiet, Leo was almost convinced he had made it up, but the words rang clear in his mind. "Oh! Uh- sure, Mikey." A smile crept onto his face. It was weird how his lee-moods always seemed to sync up with his brothers, but that wasn't his concern right now.

Mikey smiled back, although it was a little shyer than the slider's. He hugged his brother tight, mumbling a "thanks" before reaches for his hips, latching onto them gently. "Just tell me if it's too much."

Leo squawked, arms jolting down, though he didn't push his little brother away. "DEHEheal!" The box turtle pinched at the joint for a few seconds, then carefully pushed on the taller's plastron to lay him down, sitting on his thighs. Mikey giggled, then rolled up the blue cloth of his hoodie. Leo only had a split second to realize what was going on, watching his brother's head lower, before being plunged into a fit of loud laughter. "HAHAHAH! AAHAH! MIKEHEY!"

"Whahat? I thought you agreed?" Mikey smiled, blowing another raspberry against his belly. "I can stop if you want." The slider bucked, whining at the offer. "NAHAH! Heheh, nohoHOHO! IHI-AHAH! IHIhit's SNRT- OHOHOKAHAay!"

The younger smiled. "Alright then, hang in there, Lee~" He took a deep breath, eyes gleaming mischievously at the anticipation on the elder's face.

Leo's eyes had squeezed shut, blushing at the nickname, only for them to shoot open wider than before at the horrible tickly feeling on the side of his ribs. "HAAAH AHAH! MIHIKEHEHEEEY, NOHOT THEHERE! HAHAHAHAHAH!" His arms shot out to push at the younger's head, but the other just pushed his hoodie higher up, taking his arms with it.

When Leo opened his eyes, he learned that the clothing article had been pushed over his face as well, and he was trapped in a sea of blue as Mikey blew raspberry after raspberry on his plastron. He kicked and squirmed, trying to sit up to stop the tickling, soon lost in his own laughter as his thighs were lightly scribbled on.

"FUHUHU-AHAH! SNRT- IHI CAHAHAN'T SEHEHEE! IHI-AAHAHAHAHAHAH! SNRT- NAHAHAH, PLEHAHAHA!"

The orange-themed turtle cooed, scooting down on his knees which effectively stopped the moving from those limbs. Instead, the slider's hips bucked, and he once again tried to pull his arms out of his sleeves, too overcome with ticklishness to escape.

"Y'know, I think I want to try something.. Of course, if you're willing." There were a couple seconds before the elder had processed the question, the turtle trying to suck in as much air as he could when the fingers at his legs stopped moving. "WHAHaha- SNRT- WhahaHAHat is ihit?.."

Mikey's grin was that of pure evil.

"Oh, I was just wondering how much a raspberry on your thigh would tickle.."

"Euhuhughhh bohohoy.."

-----

Errm I may end up doing a part two to this? Possibly later in the month, or maybe a fic later on. We'll see I guess. Have a great day!

Clones

Raph can make clones of himself, and make giant hands using Ninpō. So he uses it very responsibly. NOT.

(sfw tickling, tce$t and feti$h ppl, DNI!!)

Lee: Leo💙

Ler: Raph❤️

Raph didn't get Ler moods very often. He oftentimes tickled Leo just to do it, he enjoyed doing it but he typically got the moods the least.

Which is why it was always memorable when he did. He didn't go crazy like Donnie did, aka; practically jumping Leo and torturing him (seriously, once Donnie had such a bad Ler mood, he pinned Leo and tickled him for six hours.)

But Raph's Ler moods were still bad. Especially since he was giant and Leo couldn't escape if he tried, and his hands were huge, meaning he could tickle giant areas to drive Leo crazy.

Needless to say, Raph was in a bad Ler mood. Really, really bad. As in, almost Donnie levels of bad.

He'd woken up in the mood, immediately knowing he had to tickle someone, had to pin them down and mercilessly tickle their sides until they were red in the face and squealing-

He quickly found Leo in the living room.

“Hey Raph,” Leo greeted, looking up from his spot on the couch.

Raph bit his lip, he couldn't do what Donnie and Mikey did and just attack, or admit to being in a Ler mood. He had to have a reason, that's how his moods were. Punishing his victim for wronging him somehow and tickling them until they-

“Yeesh, you're growing an extra chasm with that look,” Leo snarked, smirking.

“Excuse me?” Raph asked threateningly.

“You heard me,” Leo laughed, oblivious to the danger he was in, “You could rival the grand canyon with that!”

“You think that's funny, huh?”

“Yep,” Leo smirked, turning back to his phone like a dummy.

Raph shot forward, hands grabbing Leo's sides and tickling as he lifted him in the air.

“RAHAHAHAHAHAPH!” Leo shrieked, immediately bursting into loud cackles, “PUHUHUHT ME DOHOHOHWN!”

“Nope! You've angered the beast!” Raph laughed, tickling Leo's sides harder and an idea came to him.

He smirked evilly as Leo laughed and squealed and focused on his energy. A burst of red light and then, bam!

Leo gasped between giggles as he saw three, slightly transparent and red glowing clones of Raph appear.

“Wahahahhahat-!” Leo exclaimed, giggling as Raph was still tickling his sides.

“We're the Raph army,” Raph teased, “And we're gonna tickle you to death!”

“WAHAHAHAHAIT!” Leo squealed as one of the clones grabbed him and lifted his arms, keeping him against his plastron.

Almost immediately, Raph and the other two clones began tickling him all over.

“RAHAHAHAHAHAPH!” Leo screamed, cackling as three sets of giant hands started tickling him mercilessly.

“What!?” Raph teased from where he was tickling Leo's sides, “Does this tickle~?”

“RAAHAHHAHAPH!” Leo squealed, thrashing and cackling. One of the clones was mercilessly tickling his knees and thighs, Raph was scribbling at Leo's sides, and the other clone was tickling his hips.

“I didn't know your hips were ticklish~!” Raph cooed, immediately switching spots with the clone and wriggling his fingers over Leo's hips and squeezing them.

“NAHAHAHAH- HAHAHAH SNRT-! NOOHOHOHOH!” Leo squealed, trying to break free from the hands holding him as he laughed and squealed.

“Awwww~!” Raph cooed, teasing, “Are wittle weo’s hips ticklish~?”

“RAHAHAHAPH!” Leo shrieked, face turning bright red and making his stripes blend in.

Raph laughed, “Aw, don't be shy, Leo! You're so ticklish, and it's so cute!”

“STAHHHAHAP!” Leo squealed as Raph kept squeezing at and tickling his hips mercilessly.

“Hmm, we made need another member of the Raph army for that,” Raph mused, creating another clone to take over tickling Leo's hips, “Cause I'm gonna do this!”

Raph immediately started tickling Leo's stomach mercilessly, making the slider shriek and throw his head back from laughing.

“RAHAHAHAHAHAPH! NAHAHAHAHAHAT THEHEHEHEHERE!” Leo squealed, laughing hysterically as Raph's hands skittered over his sensitive tummy.

“Awww!” Raph cooed, “I forgot how ticklish your wittle tummy is~!”

“RAAHHAHAPH!”

“The tickle monster is hungry, Leo!” Raph laughed, leaning down and blowing a ruthless raspberry on Leo's stomach, making him shriek.

“NAHHAHHAHAT THAHHHAHAHT! RAHAH- HAHAHAHA SNRT! RAHAHAPH!” Leo screamed, trying to kick his legs but unable to because of the large hands holding and tickling them.

Raph grinned, blowing multiple raspberries on Leo's stomach mercilessly. He began pretending to eat his stomach, blowing raspberries and lightly nibbling to do so.

“WAHAHAHAHAHAHAIT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Leo squealed as Raph nibbled at his tummy, thrashing, “RAHAHAHAHA-!”

Raph laughed, going back to tickling Leo's tummy, “You're so sensitive, Leo! Tickle tickle tickle~!”

“DOHHOHOHOHN’T SAHAHAHAY THAHAHAHAT!” Leo squealed, uncontrollably laughing and squirming.

“Don't say what, tickle?” Raph cooed, “Tickle? Am I not supposed to say that? Not the word tickle~?”

“STAHHAHAP TEHEHEHEASING ME!” Leo squealed as Raph tickled his poor tummy ruthlessly.

Raph leaned forward, blowing a raspberry on Leo's ribs and making him shriek.

“NOHOHOHO!”

Raph laughed, continuing to tickle and got the clones to start tickling Leo harder.

“NAHHAHAAH! I CAHAHHAHAHAAN’T!” Leo squealed as the tickling increased tenfold.

Raph laughed as Leo squirmed and cackled and snorted, “You're so ticklish!”

“Say sorry and I'll let you go!” Raph teased, as Leo struggled to talk through his giggles.

“IHIHI-” Right as Leo was about to apologize, Raph formed his Ninpo around his hands, making them much larger and mercilessly tickling Leo's tummy hard.

“AAHAHHAHAHAHA!” Leo squealed, “AHH HAHAHAHA! WAIHAHAHAHAHIT! THAHAHAHAHAHT’S CHEHEEHEHEHEATING!”

“Are you gonna apologize?” Raph cooed teasingly, “Or do I have to keep tickling you~? Coochie coochie coo~!”

“I'M SOHOHOHOHORRY!” Leo squealed out, making Raph laugh.

The clones dissipated, and Raph held Leo in his arms, grinning smugly as Leo giggled and squirmed from the phantom feeling.

He rubbed at Leo's sides, trying to stop the phantom sensation but just made Leo start giggling and squirming harder, “Nohohoho! THAhaHAt tihihihihckles!”

Raph laughed, setting Leo down and getting him water, “Did you learn something?”

“Yeah,” Leo huffed after he drank his water, “Too many people in this house are using their powers to tickle me! And I'm scared Donnie's next!”

Raph threw his head back and laughed, seemed he hadn't come up with the idea of using his powers first.

It'll Be Okay, Big Man

You know it's crazy how fast society moves on as a whole after the world was so close to ending.

It's crazy how quick they just forget four mutants stopped an alien invasion.

Even as the city was being cleared of the debris, torn buildings, the weird ooey-gooey bubble gum looking fungus? Not even scientists knew what to call it. Either way, even as they seen the evidence something big had went down in New York City everyone just seemed to move on, making jokes about it for clout and giggles, nobody seemed to be too shaken at what happened, yeah?

Humans just seem to be silly like that. They don't acknowledge anything that they don't fully understand. Well, while society as a whole moved on, forgot that the sky opened to make way for a huge alien spaceship that seemed to come from the back of a fucking Lebanese shawarma restaurant, forgot about how it looked like a deadass apocalypse went down in New York, there were a few that acknowledged what actually happened- you could even go as to say they were in the center of everything that went down. They were probably the ones that made the spaceship explode, they were probably the ones that made the sky close back up, they could have been the reason New York was able to go back to whatever was trending that week. Don't ask me who, I probably wouldn't know.

It's hard to move on like the news channels decided they would when you were in the middle of it.

Who are these people? I know you're waiting for me to shit it out

Raphael was having a lot of trouble moving on like those silly humans did.

Those stupid thoughts wouldn't leave his head like he wished they would. This wasn't like him at all, he was so out of it. He doesn't even remember what he did under the Kraang's control if he was being deadass. Part of him wishes he did but the slightly bigger part was grateful he doesn't.

Raphael couldn't help but think it was his fault, what exactly? Everything. From the very beginning, to the end of it where it almost ended in his younger brother getting stranded in a whole ass different dimension with something his dad would've told him wasn't real because monsters didn't exist, it was Raph's fault.

Everything that happened that day still haunts him, and he hasn't told anybody about it.

Raphael hasn't told anybody how he gets little flashes- little visions- images- whatever you wanna call it- little touches- feelings- it doesn't matter. It was evident to him that the battle he had to fight internally to win the external was far deeper than he thought. 'Tough shit,' he wants to tell himself. He tries- he really does, he wants everything to be normal again, those little arguments with Leo he could deal with, they always made up- but more importantly he just wants that sticking feeling to go away.

Raphael felt dirty.

You had a feeling Raph wasn't being honest with you. He seemed... off. That's sugarcoating it, he seemed as if he was ready to break down at any moment- any second- you felt it coming.

So there you were heading, to him, you'd already sent a text explaining you on the way to the lair, ready to see your boyfriend. He seen the text and had replied with an 'okay! <3' to which you smiled at softly and picked up your pace, you and the teddy bear in your hand. You were gonna dominate the world with that motherfucker, jus look at 'im!

Earlier, you had decided to put a little gift basket together for your boyfriend. You'd figured he'd needed some extra loving right now, he wasn't so great at hiding it. That- or you knew him very well. Why can't it be both?

You put little pieces of candy you were sure he liked, a king sized bar of Twix because let's be fucking real, they're better than your grammies cookies. You'd included little plushies, a blanket, a little album of pictures with his family- you and April included, and the teddy bear which was currently in your other hand.

Raph would like it, and you hoped it would make him feel better, at least bring a sense of comfort to him in his state. Maybe added cuddles and kisses would help if it didn't. For once, you were confident in your ability to give gifts to people you actually like. The chances of him liking it were higher than the chances it would make him feel worse so you figured- hey! why the fuck not?

You're such a good partner.

Alas, you arrived at the lair, goodies in hand, high hopes for your reptilian boyfriend. You walk some ways to find Raph in his room, curling a dumbbell whilst sitting on his bed. You smile and walk towards him with the gifts in hand, "Hey teddy bear," im sorry i visibly cringed. "How are you?" You ask, testing him, will he lie and tell you he's fine? Will he open up to a conversation about it? You hoped it was the second option.

Raph's face lights up as he sees your good looking ass, even more so as he sees you brought gifts too. "Heya sugar! Raph's doing just fine," Liar "how about you?" He smiles and gets up, placing the dumbbell down and pulls you into a gentle hug. "You brought gifts?" He adds with a smile.

You decided to ignore his little lie, as you were going to bring it up in a bit anyways, instead, choosing to answer his questions. "I'm doing alright," you add with a smile, reciprocating the hug best you could with the things in your hand. "Yeah, I figured you needed a smile." And that was your first attempt to attack the situation.

Raph raised a brow, and allowed you to put the stuff down, and sit on his bed. He joined you, the bed dipping at his added weight. "Why do you say that sweetie?" You knew him better than he thought.

"Well," You start, "Lately you've been off, and by 'off' I mean you seem upset. Upset with yourself. And you've been on edge." You finish, looking at him, scanning his face, and you came to the conclusion he was about to break. "Do you want to talk about it?" You gently ask, placing the teddy bear in his lap.

Raph sighed, so many things, so much stress, so much fear. Damn. "I'm not a good brother." He says quietly, so quietly you thought it was in your head. After convincing yourself he actually spoke and you didn't hit your head that fucking hard in the morning, you sigh quietly and bring him closer to you.

"Why do you say that?" You murmur quietly, rubbing his arms in a comforting manner. You scan his face for any clue, hint, anything that might give it away (thought you were sure it was the reason you had in mind). His eyes welled up with tears and you sighed. "You don't have to tell me right now." You assured him softly, you'd figure he would talk about it when he was ready. You look to the basket of stuff and a soft smile comes across your face, he needed a small distraction right now.

"Hey Raph," You start and he looks to you with glossy eyes, giving a hum in response, you offer a small sympathetic smile to your boyfriend in return and reach for the basket and had it to him. "You never got to look at what else was inside, would you like to do that instead right now?" You ask and a small smile makes it's way across Raph's face. He clears his throat and nods, "Sure thing, sweets." He looks at you in gratitude as a silent way of calming down and thanking you for it.

Raph opens the basket and his small smile turns into a brighter grin, "Aw baby, my favorite candy! I knew keeping around would do me some good!" He gives you a wet kiss on your cheek making you giggle and swat at him with pink cheeks. "Hey!" You couldn't keep the giggles from escaping as you tried to sound mad at him for his comment, "What did you mean by that?!" Raph chuckles and shrugs, "Don't worry about it." He replies. As he looks through the basket he finds the little plushies and immediately his sadness is gone. "Baby!" He pulls you onto his lap and squeezes you tight (always careful to never be too tight), he pulls out the blankets and wraps them around you both, immediately feeling back at home. He finds the album and immediately you feel some weight lift off of his shoulders as if you two were one.

You two spend the rest of the night flipping through the photo album under the blanket as he snacks on his candy, plushies all around you guys, problems pushed aside for now. It was just you and him.

Raphael's problems were nowhere near gone, nowhere near fixed and if he sat quiet for long enough he would feel that need to be cleansed- he would feel dirty again.

Even though that may be true, he simply didn't feel it when you were there to make his mood better, it didn't erase his problems, no,

but he knows you'll always be there to tell him,

"It'll Be Okay, Big Man."

Mutant Mayhem ~ tickle headcanons 🐢❤️💙💜🧡

This movie was absolutely fantastic so of course I had to make my own tickle hcs for these four little dorks 💖 I fell in love with their personalities and cannot wait to watch it again and again!!

Leo 💙

*So insanely ticklish-

*Just look at him!!

*He gets ganged up on by his brothers a lot. And I mean- A LOT.

*They do it mostly to convince him to go see movies or stay out later when Leo wants to go back home after doing what they needed to do.

*They’ll also tickle him just cause he needs to loosen up sometimes.

*No matter how many times he gets tickled, whenever he’s asked if he’s ticklish he’ll deny it.

*Even while he’s being tickled to death he’ll deny it through his laughter. That is until his bothers all go for his worst spots at once.

*Oh and when April comes into the picture, you better believe they tease him even more about it.

*He thought he was flustered about tickling before?? Oh Leo honey-

*The thought of April finding out he’s ticklish and even better worse, taking advantage of that is a new feeling he’s never experienced before till that first meeting.

*He finds himself getting into lee moods, which are so confusing to him.

*Because before, he never really wanted to get tickled by his brothers. He didn’t hate it when they all goofed around, but actually wanting that type of affection from someone, let alone his crush, was something he had to get used to.

*And he never got used it to say the least.

*He’s such a ticklish little guy, and like I said earlier, gets flustered so easily.

*I’d say he’s most ticklish around his sides. Always jumps and yelps when he’s poked there and his brothers do it to him constantly.

*He’s also got a very ticklish shell.

*For some reason it makes sense to me.

*Like, running your fingers and nails along his shell will have him giggling his heart out.

*Is definitely the curl up into a ball kind of lee.

*I don’t know why but I feel like he’s so sensitive to light tickles just about everywhere. 💙💙💙

*His arms, hands, neck, plastron, everywhere.

*Leo needs tickle aftercare. So hugs and a compliment or two are a must.

*Mikey always gives him a hug, Raph will give him a noogie or a head ruffle, and Donnie is the one that gets the water and/or pats his back.

*I can’t lee Leo is so adorable 😭💙

*As a ler, he’s so playful. And can be pretty merciless when the others deserve it.

*Loves being able to have fun with his brothers when they’re not training.

*He and Mikey give the best aftercare according to all the brothers and April. Leo gives lots of compliments and reassurance.

*His favorite brother to tickle is Mikey. Something about tickling Mikey just always brings a smile to his face.

*His favorite person to be tickled by, however, has gotta be April. And my gosh he’s a flustered ler when it comes to her-

*Leo wasn’t the one to find out she’s ticklish though. It was probably Mikey or Donnie poking at her side. They seem like the little siblings to her older sister in my mind.

*Leo saw this and he went crazy- Her laugh was his favorite sound and her smile made his heart flutter. He couldn’t stop thinking about it.

*The first time he tickled her, he only tickled her for a few seconds because he got too flustered by how adorable she looked to keep going.

*April of course noticed this and tickled him till he told her why he was blushing so hard. Cue April blushing this time and tickling Leo yet again to hide her embarrassment.

*I love them so much guys they’re so cute- 💙

~

Donnie 💜

*Such a bratty lee in my mind.

*But that facade crumbles after a bit, and then he starts begging.

*He’ll be all talk and then someone will wiggle their fingers at him and he squeaks.

*His laugh is just full of shrieks and squeals.

*You also cannot convince me that his voice doesn’t crack while he’s getting tickled!

*His underarms and feet are killer tickle spots.

*He’s pretty sensitive everywhere, but those two spots have him absolutely cackling.

*Raph will tackle Donnie onto his stomach and pin his legs down so Mikey and Leo can tickle his feet.

*He goes ballistic, and it’s even worse since he can’t see them while he’s on his stomach.

*Leo will tickle Donnie on his plastron and ribs while trying to sing kpop songs Donnie has shown him.

*Donnie laughs even harder at how funny Leo sounds trying to sing in Korean.

*Leo will laugh along too saying, “Hey! Ahare you laughing at me?! I think I sound great!” Then continues to tickle Donnie.

*Leo’s reassurance aftercare makes Donnie melt and get all giggly. 💜

*He secretly reads kpop tickle fics on tumblr. ✨

*And he watches all of the tickle compilations.

*He thinks it’s super cute when he sees his idols do it in a video or in a fic.

*There’s times when he likes to daydream about being in BTS. Dancing, singing, and having tickle fights with the other members.

*April is like the older sister he never had, so of course he also gets tickled by her.

*Since he wears a lot of hoodies now, April will come up behind him to pull his hood over his eyes and with her other hand she’ll squeeze his knees while he can’t see.

*Even though he tends to get tickled quite a bit, he prefers to be the ler.

*He loves teasing and using anticipation while he’s tickling his brothers.

*My mind goes back to the part where he’s dangling the phone in front of Leo’s face while Raph and Mikey hold him back.

*That screams teases his brothers into oblivion to me. Especially towards Leo because how can he not tease Leo when it’s so easy to fluster him?

*Loooooves using anticipation tickles. They work especially well on Mikey and Leo.

*Donnie and Raph are the two tickle monsters of the family believe it or not.

*Raph is the one who pins down Mikey, Leo, or April and Donnie does the tickles and teases.

*Or they’ll let their victim squirm free while they both go after their worst spots.

*He loves having tickle fights with Mikey. Who doesn’t in his family of course, but him and Mikey are really close so he doesn’t mind at all when Mikey turns the tables.

*Donnie will pretty much always win though.

*Raph is a different story.

*I don’t think Donnie has ever successfully tickled Raph without help from his brothers.

*But when he does have help, Raph is in trouble.

*Donnie’s smug and teasy attitude comes out and he goes full ler mode.

*He’s more merciful with Leo and Mikey, but since he can’t get Raph on his own, he takes his time tickling him.

~

Mikey 🧡

*Gets tickled the most by everyone.

*How can you not tickle him??!!

*I love how the tmnt fandom in general agrees that all the Mikey’s have incredibly ticklish necks.

*His knees are also a really bad spot. Especially the backs of them.

*You better believe his brothers tickle him there all the time. From a random squeeze to get his attention to full on blowing raspberries on the backs of his knees.

*Poor Mikey 🧡

*I can also see him having a ticklish face. Like if you gently tickle around his cheeks and chin, he completely melts into a giggly puddle.

*Mikey got a lot of cheer up tickles before they were accepted by society and could go to school.

*Leo tickles him the most, like I said above. Leo will give Mikey random scribbles to his neck and Mikey crumbles.

*He genuinely loves being tickled 🧡

*Finds it fun and a great way to spend time with his brothers. Also just loves laughing and being able to let go of all his stress.

*Mikey’s favorite form of affection to give and receive are tickle hugs. He loves hugs in general, so adding tickles into the mix makes them ten times better.

*Hear me out- Mikey and Mondo have tickle fights!!

*Mondo and Mikey are both equally outspoken about how much they love tickles and just affection in general so of course they tickle each other.

*They’ll poke each other and squeeze each other’s sides till one gives up. Both giggling up a storm because they’re having so much fun.

*Mikey being on the improv team at school is so accurate and funny to me.

*I could see his brothers and April pretending like they’re going to tickle him because of a random scenario they improvised out of nowhere.

*And while Mikey is giggling out no’s, they go, “The first rule of improv is never say no, Mikey!”

*He is so incredibly air ticklish it’s insane.

*Raph, Mikey and Donnie will have him on the floor kicking his legs and they’re just hovering over him wiggling their fingers right above his tickle spots.

*Mikey can’t take anymore and finally yells, “Just tickle me already!”

*They all coo and can’t help but awe at the cuteness of their baby brother before tickling him to pieces.

*An absolute menace when he’s a ler.

*Starts with gentle tickles then gets harder as the tickles go on.

*Is also the master at sneaking up behind and tasing his siblings sides. Even gets April too.

*Mikey is the only ones who can tickle April and get away with it without her getting revenge.

*He’s so happy and giggly while tickling her that she can’t help but just hug him to death afterwards.

*Speaking of hugs, the man needs hugs after he’s tickled. It’s required. And vise versa.

*He always gives hugs and snuggles as aftercare.

*He’s just a snuggly little guy who deserves all the tickles and hugs in the world 😭🧡🧡🧡

~

Raph ❤️

*First of all, I just wanna say how much I love how affectionate he is with his brothers.

*Picking up Leo, wrapping his arm around Leo, shaking Leo’s shoulders when he agreed to the plan, letting Mikey jump on his back, etc.

*It’s so cute ❤️

*That being said, he’s obviously a big tickle monster to the rest of his siblings.

*Also can we talk about him saying “Cootchie! Cootchie! Cootchie!” when they met Genghis Frog!! Ler Raph is canon guys.

*Will take any and all opportunities to give a little poke or completely wreck his brothers.

*Him and Leo have tickle wars. Not fights- wars.

*Raph is almost always the victor, but Leo has gotten him a good few times.

*They’re a terrifying ler duo against Mikey and Donnie. They sometimes have competitions to see who can make Mikey and Donnie laugh the most. It’s all in good fun though and they never take it too far.

*He loves pinning his victims down. He’s a wrestler so he’s great at it too. Much to his brother’s dismay.

*Raph is this big stoic guy who acts all tough, but he’s just as ticklish as his brothers.

*His ribs and plastron are his worst spots. He kind of hates that they’re so accessible too.

*But he can’t lie that he doesn’t have fun getting tickled by his brothers.

*Like how Mikey would get cheer up tickles before they were accepted, Raph gets them after because of words said before they thought they were going to die.

*His brothers decided he needs more tickles and brother bonding time after that. ❤️

*It’s mostly them pinning him down and tickling him before they all get into a cuddle pile.

*He’s genuinely terrified at how good April is at tickling-

*He can’t seem to pin her down or get her laughing as much as she can make him laugh.

*She’s just really good at tickling his plastron, and having more than three fingers on each hand definitely helps.

*I can see him and his wrestling friends having sleepovers and wrestling all night which lead to tickle fights.

*They also get curious about his shell and the fact that he’s a talking turtle. So they end up “examining” him which was just them poking and prodding at his shell and stuff which really tickled.

*He gets them back though. He’s incredibly strong and has tons of experience with tickling.

*Raph doesn’t really blush when he’s flustered. He kind of gets all defensive and tries to turn away from whoever’s teasing him.

*If he’s pinned down, however, he’ll close his eyes and turn his head away. That is until he’s getting tickled and his eyes are now wide open trying hard to fight off his offender.

*Is a big kicker so whoever’s tickling him has to be careful. He’s accidentally hurt his brothers a few time because he flails so much.

*He doesn’t mean to, he’s just a squirmy dude.

*Is a raspberry menace and no one can convince me otherwise.

*He thinks they’re silly and the sounds that come out of his brothers mouths when he uses them are so hilarious.

*His brothers are terrified of them. They tickle like hell-

*Raph is the most susceptible to them though. 🙃

*He. Lose. His. Shit. 👏

*Mikey, Leo and Donnie can make him agree to anything if they all raspberry his platoon at once.

[tickly-stuff]

based on something that happened to me a few days ago👍🏽 enjoy!😋

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

you think that’s funny huh? I’ll show you something funny.

Summary: Leo keeps bothering raph and thinks it’s hilarious. Raph’s not laughing.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.

The lair was… boring. To say the least.

The four brothers sat there and practically stared at the ceiling, waiting for something interesting to happen. Splinter was asleep and had no interest in anything that the boys were doing. Well, donnie didn’t look bored. He was in his phone typing away mindlessly. Mikey was sitting there, just twiddling his thumbs, Leo could quite barely keep his eyes open and Raph just sat in silence.

They were together! But bored. And silent.

“Well dear brothers I believe it is time I hit the hay!” Donnie finally said with a dramatic, fake, exasperated yawn as he walked off in the smoothest, most awkward way. In the corner, Mikey let out a sigh of relief to Donnie breaking the silence.

“Yeah I’m gonna go do um.. whatever Donnie’s doing!” Mikey stated, stumbling over his words as he sped off toward the other direction.

And then there were two.

Leo, decided to attempt to make his own fun. But how? He thought to himself.

The other two brothers were gone but would it be hard to rule up raph..? Possibly. Only one way to find out!

The red eared slider began to slowly and subtly creep up closer to raph trying to hide the sly grin that wanted to slip from his face.

He inches closer and closer and-

“Leo, what are you up to?” The oldest replied at the blue ninja who just couldn’t help a smirk to come out of his face. Leo needed to act. And fast.

“Nothin’. Just chilling here. Y’know I think I might take a nap.” Leo stated in a panic as he began to stretch and yawned a dramatic yawn similar to Donnie’s.

When he was finished he swung us arms down and hit raph against the back of his head.

“Ow! Leo! Watch out!” Raph exclaimed in pain as he rubbed the back of his head.

He was not amused.

Bingo.

“Pfft- ohh sohory! I dihidn’t notice! I’ll be more careful.” Leo said as he tried to hide his mischievous smile and stifled giggles behind his hand. Well he found a way to entertain himself. Wasn’t the best for raph but if it works it works!

Leo pondered about the next excuse he could use on his older brother and looked around the room.

“Oo is that a free pencil on the ground?” Leo exclaimed as he waved his hand behind his brothers head, hitting him once more.

“Ack! Leo! One more time. I dare you.”

Leo wasn’t gonna pass up that opportunity.

“Oh, Hi Mrs. Cuddles!” Leo stated as he pointed his hand and playfully slapped raph across the face. The red ninja stood there in pure shock. His mouth hanging open. He looked like a fish honestly. It was kinda funny.

“Hahaha! You should’ve sehehen your fahace!” Leo finally said bursting into hysterics and kicking his legs while hugging his middle.

“That’s it.”

The snapping turtle shot up and scooped his younger brother up and held him like a baby.

“Hey, what’s the big idea!? I didn’t mehehean any harm!” Leo said still laughing at the face Raph had previously made.

“You think that’s funny huh? I’ll show you something funny.”

With that, the oldest brother began to gently flutter his finger’s against Leo’s neck causing the teenager to squirm in his arms.

“Raph I thought wehehe were having fuhuhn!!” The opposing turtle exclaimed as he scrunched up his neck and attempted to grab the hands that were the culprit to the tickle assault.

“But we are having fun aren’t we?” Raph asked as he moved down to claw at his stomach in a swift movement.

“GAHA! Nohot fUhuhN!” Leo stated as his voice went up an octave when Raph went from pinching to prodding to clawing to scribbling. It drove him crazy.

“Are you calling me a liar? Nobody calls raph a liar!” Raph declared as he moved down to scratching the behind his younger brothers knees which seemed to do the trick.

“EHAHA! NOHo WAHiT rAHApH!” The poor turtle blurted as he once again tried to grab Raph’s hands. When his efforts almost seemed futile, he managed to get a hold of one of them and attempted to pull it back.

The tickling stopped momentarily until Leo felt a hand on his wrist- no, on both of his wrists as they were brought to face the ceiling. A menacing voice followed shortly after and said:

“You dare try to stop big red? Ohoh, you are reeeeealy asking for it Leo.”

The bigger turtle managed to put both wrists in one hand and the tickling perused. But it was on Leo’s hips.

“EEEEHAHA!! IHi DIHIhidN’T MEHEaN IHIHIT!” The poor teen howled as he tried to wiggle and worm his way out of it, until he realized there was “no escape” and threw his head back and just accepted it.

Leo’s laughter began to die down when raph just gently began to trace circles on his stomach.

“Do you promise not to bother me again?” Raph asked.

“Whahat!? Are you crazy? No wahay!!” Leo barked back still giggling due to phantom tickles.

Raph gave his hips a squeeze and the blue ninja doubled down.

“AHA! Okay ohokay!”

Raph stopped the tracing and put his younger brother down on the floor, patted his head, and walked off.

Leo, hugging his middle just happened to look up and saw a purple phone, a purple turtle, and a laughing mikey.

“Well that was interesting.”

Chapter 2:

Raph x reader story A/N:Another part is out! it is currently 5am but oh well, i started writing and then just didn't stop. But here we go, I love all April's they are my pookies.

Chapter 1/ 3

The week had been going great, hanging out with his brothers and his friends, not much work either since the city had been fairly peaceful. Raph was laying on the couch just scrolling through his phone when a notification caught his attention.

April🧡

-Hey! Vern is going to a club today and invited me, Case is gonna be there too

-And I thought you and the guys would wanna come!

-It’s gonna be fun!

He smiles at the text, going out did sound fun and it was a chance to relax and possibly mingle… alright maybe not that last part as much but the thought is what counts. He stretches lazily and answers her.

-Yeah im in. Sounds fun enough.

Raph gets up and texts his brothers to check if they would be joining him, Donnie and Leo were a very unlikely yes but even they had to be slowly descending into boredom madness.  He didn’t have to wait very long though, cause they all pinged him with a resounding “YES” to the afternoon plans. ‘Welp, time ta change then’ even if changing meant putting his nicer pair of pants and boots, maybe his jacket too (even if to only put it around his waist-).

When the time for the party rolls around the four of them are already waiting for their friends and the front door, the place was nice, the outside looking kinda fancy but also casual enough that there wasn’t a crazy line waiting for them at the entrance. Soon enough they see April and Jones approaching, with a surprise third party who none of them had met before except… ‘There’s no fucking way’ he thought. But lo and behold, there she was clear as day, the girl from the place he went to a week ago, smiling just as she had when they first talked. This time she wasn’t in some fancy get up but a more relaxed look, looked more at ease too, once she caught his eye she waved at him.

“Hi guys! Sorry we’re a bit late, we went to pick up my friend (y/N). She was a last minute addition to our little group, hope that’s alright?”

“The more the merrier! Don’t sweat it angelcakes!” As always, Mikey was ready to welcome any new members with open arms, Donnie and Leo nodded in agreement, never the ones to be rude to anyone but also not as energetic and out there as their younger sibling. (Y/ N) turns to them and chuckles.

“Thanks you guys! Really means a lot, I was just ITCHING to go out but had no one to go with, y’all are my saviours today.” She said shaking hands with the three of his brothers. Getting to him she sends him a playful smirk “Long time no see, big guy. Thought that was gonna be the last I saw of ya.” Her hands lingered on his, the tips of her fingers freezing against his but still just as gentle as the first time they had met.

“Heh. Could say the same about ya.” 

“You guys know each other?” Of course Jones had to ask something, guy made being annoying his whole career, Raph sighs and rolls his eyes  “Yeah we  met last week when we went to that bar we went  to. We talked for like two minutes.” He gives them, getting a collective nod of satisfaction from his answer ‘fucking weirdos. Always up in someone’s business’ he smiles.

As they head they start looking for Vern, not that the guy was hard to find but in the current lighting they had the task at hand proved to be difficult as they eyed the tables at the place. April and (Y/N) were giggling away at something on their phones and already asking for drinks, a look of mischief on their faces ‘oh this is gonna be great’ he thinks, making his way to them quickly, since Jones had left them to go keep looking for Vern.

The group eventually does find him, at one of the tables hidden away at the corner, sipping away at his drink and finishing up some conversation. They all sit down and he smiles at them excitedly.

“Oh I’m glad you could all come, I was starting to get bored of not doing anything with you guys! How are you finding the place? This is my new little nook, the vibes are great here.” He lays back, relaxed look on his face.

“This is much nicer than I was expecting I gotta admit” Donnie says, his posture much more calm than when they first got there “Normally parties aren’t my thing but this has been very okay so far, their drinks are great too.”

“Yeah! I missed hanging with people at a nice club.” (Y/N) says leaning on April, she looked in her element, comfortable and at ease. Raph smiled at them as she leaned in, a conspiratory look on her face “But I’m really feeling the need to dance! Who’s coming with me?!” she says already dragging April with her ‘well, not much choice there’ he chuckles. Mikey obviously follows suit and links arms with the ladies.

“Oh I am in! Let’s show these people how it’s done!” he shouts as they head to the dance floor.

______________________________________________________________

Mikey's POV

 As they get to the floor, they try to find a little space for them all to dance in comfortably, which proved to be harder than they thought . Finally, thankfully they find and just let loose, each of them finding their own rhythm and laughing amongst each other.

(Y/N) turns to look around and stops in her tracks, the scene in front of her leaving her frozen in place.

“Hey? You okay?” April asks, Mikey also stopping his dancing to look where (Y/N) was looking.

“Am I hallucinating or is that Brad with a random girl chewing on his face?” She asks in a tense tone, and yup, it only took April one look to confirm that that was in fact Brad. (Y/N) holds her hand tightly and sighs, her eyes closed.

“Who’s Brad? What is happening right now?” Mikey asks, kind as ever after noticing his friend’s distressed look.

“THAT, is my supposedly his place boyfriend… sucking on that girl’s lips.” She says, looking annoyed now.

‘Oh. OH!’ Mikey’s eyes widen ‘Well shit, that sucks.’

[inutaffy]

“you’ve always been jealous of me!”

“maybe that’s bc you were always splinters favorite!”

“raph. i love you bro.”

Leo x reader when you first meet pt.1

Narrator:you wake up in the morning and start getting ready cause it was your first day back at school. As you were fixing your hair you hear your phone buzzing,it was a text from April saying are you ready yet!?. You realized you told April to meet up with you at your apartment. You finished getting ready and headed down the stairs we’re April was waiting.

April: jeez what took you so long!?

Reader: I’m so sorry April I totally forgot I asked you to wait for me at my apartment…I’m just really not in the mood to go to school.

April: it’s fine…I’m not I’m the mood to go to school today either but here we are all dressed and ready for the day to begin.

Narrator: you giggled and then you and April were heading to school…a few minutes passed and you slightly glanced at April and she had a face that made you feel like she wanted to ask you something so you asked her what the problem was.

Reader: hey…April is something wrong? you know you can tell me anything right…

April: oh it’s nothing serious but um…can I trust you..

Narrator: you looked at April as if it a weird question to ask you.

Reader: what kind of question is that…of course you trust me we’re friends aren’t we and friends always trust each other.

April: yeah your right how could I not trust you i mean we’ve been friends for year’s so I guess it was kinda a weird question to ask but after school I want you to meet me here.

Narrator: she told you an area to meet her at you thought it was weird at first that she didn’t just wanted to ask you to meet you at that exact location but you didn’t want to question it so you just agreed and continued walking until you guys finally got to school. You both headed inside and straight to class you went to math and April went to English and guys both agreed to meet up after school. The day was finally over and it was time to meet up with April you two walked to the address April was talking about and you had a very shocked and confused look.

Reader: uh April…why are we by the sewers!?

April: it’s not what’s by the sewers it’s what’s in the sewers I wanted to show you…now do you trust me.

Reader: of course I trust you when is their a day I didn’t trust you…now let’s jump in.

Narrator: you two jumped down into the sewers and April led you to her “friends” lair and then she called out for them you were confused on to what or who she was calling out to but then you saw five figures standing in front of y’all you kinda got scared but being the brave person you are you introduced yourself to them.

Reader: uh hi…I’m reader(your name) and I’m a really good friend of April and I hope this doesn’t sound too weird but I’ve never seen or met anything or anyone like you guys before.

Narrator: the first one to come up to you was Mikey he was a nice and sweet turtle he was also the youngest one out of all of them.

Mikey: hi I’m Michelangelo(Mikey) and those are my three older brothers Raphael(raph),Donatello(donnie),and Leonardo(leo) oh and thats are dad(master splinter) with are little cat friend mayhem.

Narrator: you were very grateful that April took you here or else you would have never known about them. April came up to you and asked if you wanted to spend the night here with her and the boys but if you didn’t feel comfortable she would be more than welcomed to take you home cause she knows how crazy and weird the boys can get. You told her that you would love to spend the night in the lair but you would have to go home and get clothes for yourself but the Leo came up to you.

Leo: uh hey…reader(your name) wasn’t it…um I wouldn’t mind you using my hoodie…I mean if you want…

Narrator: he kinda blushed as he was giving you his hoodie you noticed it but you didn’t mind you probably thought because he was a little embarrassed to hand you his sweater. You thanked him and you gotten cleaned up and changed into his hoodie with a spare pajama pants April gave you. After that you guys played games and watched Jupiter Jim movies together and you started to fall asleep thinking that this was the best day of your life.

Raised Separately

Master Post, Chapter One

CHAPTER TWO: WHO ARE THEY?

"Mikey!" Raph shouted as he chased after his only brother. "Splinter said not to go so far away from the base!"

The eight-year-old giggled. "But there's so much to explore down here! I don't get why we can't see all of our home."

"We're too little." Raph grabbed Mikey's wrist and started pulling him back home. "Plus, Splinter said we can't go to places without him an' he's not home."

Mikey pouted as he let Raph take him back home. "But I wanna explore!"

"I know, but it's too dangerous. I'll see if Splinter will let us go after he gets home, kay?"

"Okay..."

~•~

"Daddy," a young Michelangelo had asked many years ago, "are there more people like us?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"Like Raph an-an-an' me," Mikey stuttered out, still learning how to properly speak.

"There are people like everyone out there. What matters is that I have you and Raph, and you and Raph have me. That's all we need in this world. We don't need to be searching for people like us, because who we are matters. It doesn't matter who and who isn't like us, it matters that we stay true to who we are."

"Ohhh. Otay!"

Mikey laid on his back, shutting his eyes. The conversation rang through his ears, despite happening four years back. He hadn't exactly meant people who acted like him.

He had wanted to know if there were people who looked like him and Raph. He had this guy feeling that there were people who needed his help. People who were begging to be freed from their prison.

He sat up, rubbing his eyes. The twelve-year-old looked around his room. Images of two other turtles that weren't Raph or him shone in his eyes. One with purple clothing lounged on Mikey's hammock, wildling away at a tech bō. One with blue clothes sat with his shell against one of the murals Mikey had made in his room.

Who were these two people?

Mikey stood up, grabbing his box of spray paints. He left the room and went to the skate room. Raph wasn't there, which he didn't mind. He stopped in front of the ramp and took out his purple spray paint.

~•~

Mikey took a few steps back, dropping the can. He stared at the piece of art he just made.

It was a purple and a blue bandana, the purple one having eyebrows. He used orange to write in big, bubbly letters:

"WHO ARE THEY?"

The box shelled turtle stared at it, very confused. He could've sworn he heard two unfamiliar, yet familiar voices arguing then laughing at each other. This was starting to drive him nuts.

Something felt so wrong about the family, but Mikey couldn't place it. Raph said he didn't feel that way and Splinter dodged the questions whenever he asked them.

Mikey knew he wasn't crazy, but he didn't know what this feeling was.

"Who are you two...?" Mikey mumbled.

Chapter Three

[tmntxthings]

I've been rereading the love potion series and it got me wondering, how would the other turtles (since you did Mikey's reaction already) would be to a y/n under the potion's spell?

Would y/n be clingy and lovey-dovey? Or flirty and just a big tease? Or maybe even shy and just wants cuddles/physical affection?

I'm really curious ^^' sorry for the ramble

Love Potion: Roles Reversed

author’s note: it’s finally happening :D, I’ve gotten so many requests for y/n’s time to shine under love potion with dee, lee, & raph so here we go, I hope you all enjoy

warnings: cursing, established relationships, kissing, fluff, unedited

> mikey’s y/n under love potion influence <

—————————————————————————

Raphael

So clearly, he had left the glass on the counter unattended because he was whisked away by his brothers getting into a spat, BUT in his defense he clearly labeled the drink as his and for no one to touch, much less drink.

Yet when Raph came back into the kitchen the drink aka love potion was empty. Now why was he in possession of such a thing? Weird shit happens! And even weirder shit has so let’s leave it at that! It totally wasn’t because he was supposed to be the responsible turtle and Señor Huseo asked him to keep it safe for a day.

Raph looked into the empty glass with a shrinking stomach. He had one job! Leo would say his ‘chasm’ was getting bigger. “Shit!” He groaned, who could have possibly— the first suspect was obviously LEO! But he had just been with him, breaking up a stupid argument with Donnie… so was it Mikey??

Raph would’ve exited the kitchen in search for the youngest turtle if he hadn’t heard a hiccuped giggle. His brow bones came together in confusion as he rounded the island counter and crossed his arms at the sight of you, slouched on the ground, a giggling mess, “Y/n!!” He exasperated and watched as you lulled your head to the sound of his voice

Your eyes crinkled at the sight, “Raphieeeeee” you squealed, making grabby hands at your boyfriend. “I don’t even have to ask, but just to be certain, did you drink from the glass that was clearly labeled to ‘not’ drink?” You nodded quickly, still smiling up at him as he sighed. “Wanna tell me why???” he asked. You weren’t a rule breaker!

“The label was on the back of the glass! I didn’t see before it was too late,” you pouted. Your hands falling to your sides as you realized he wasn’t picking you up. The excuse sounded plausible, but Raph had been pretty darn sure he had the glass facing the right way. Another sigh left his lips.

“What am I gonna do with you?” His smiled despite himself, placing a hand atop your head and ruffling your hair. “Raphhhhh!” You whined, not wanting him to mess up your hair even though you liked his touch. Like really really liked his touch. More so than usually and your hands grabbed onto his wrist tugging down his hand for you to nuzzle your cheek into his open palm.

He coughed, his other hand covering his mouth as he blushed furiously, watching you nuzzle cutely into his hand. “Y/n! Stop that, you’re under a love potion, that wasn’t just some cool looking soda,” Raph explained. You wanted to be surprised but it made sense, and if the world was crazy enough to have yokai and mutants, love potions weren’t that wild.

“C’mere, let’s get you off the ground and home, I’m sure it’ll wear off in a bit.” Raph was hopeful that it would…

“No!! I’m not going anywhere. Especially not home!” You said, holding onto his hand even tighter and giving him big sad eyes that rivaled Mikey’s puppy dog ones. “Okay okay, but you ain’t staying on the floor!” He appeased you, then promptly picked you up like you were nothing but a leaf.

He carried you with care of course, Raph was a gentle-turtle. Now you were just snuggling into his plastron and he had to hold in satisfied churrs. “Raphie-pie, can I just stay in your arms forever?” He shook his head, that was the first time he’d ever heard such a nickname! “I doubt I’m that comfortable,” he joked and you went on to say his arms were the comfiest place ever!

Raph was in for a week of snuggles, cuddles, and embarrassing nicknames!

Leonardo

“What’s that?” You asked as you watched Leo pour a pink fizzy liquid into your designated cup. He jumped at the sound of your voice almost spilling the drink. “ACK! Y/n! Give a turtle a warning huh?!” You smirked at his dramatics, “Thought you were a ninja?” You teased and he fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

“The best ninja, actually, and I was concentrating!” He clarified. Then presented you the drink. “This my dear Y/n, is a love potion. And before you say ‘LeO tHaT isN’t rEaL’ it was brewed, before my eyes, by a witch!” You eyed the drink carefully, not taking it from him. “Ohoho! So you believe me!!?” Leo’s smirk grew bigger.

“Well.. I know New York is full of crazy, but it does sound like bullshit. Something out of a movie..” you took the cup. Giving it a closer analysis and even going as far to sniff, trying to see if it was just strawberry fanta. “Today, we make history! Y/n finally believes whatever I say ahahahaha!” Leo joked, bumping into your shoulder with his and making the drink slosh around.

“So.. you gonna drink it??” He said, giving you eyes that said ‘if you don’t I’ll make fun of you forever.’ You narrowed your eyes, “this isn’t really a love potion is it?” You wanted confirmation but Leo shrugged, watching you carefully with a crafty smirk. You scowled and went to put the cup on the counter, you weren’t stupid and whatever was in the drink was something that would entertain the hell out of your boyfriend.

“Chicken!” He squawked immediately and you whipped your head around glaring at him. “You spit in this?” His mouth dropped, “What?! No that’s gross!” He said defensively. “Is a bug in here?? Or some other embarrassing thing?” You gave him a pointed look and his sighed loudly.

“I’d never do that to you. To my brothers, yes. But to you? Ne-ver! Pinky swear~” he held out his third finger. “So you want me to drink a love potion?” You said as you rolled your eyes and hooked your pinky around his green appendage. “Yes! C’mon it’ll be fun!! Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, d—“

“OKAY!” You yelled, effectively shutting him up and he bounced up and down excitedly, letting go of your pinky. You gave the drink another wary glance and decided it was most likely not real… and drank a sip. He booed and you groaned as you downed the whole thing in one go. He whooped and cheered happily, giving you a bright smile and leaned in super close.

“How do you feel?” He said making sure to maintain eye contact with you. You smacked your lips at the taste, it wasn’t half bad, and when your eyes snagged onto his it was like time stopped. Leo was your boyfriend, of course you loved him. But this feeling, it was like everything had multiplied by a thousand, no a million! You blinked as a furious blush overtook your face, it was hot! And Leo was so close and all you wanted to do was plant your lips on top of his!

You backed up, staggering and shaky. “I don’t know!” You managed and he followed you, not giving you room. “Did it work??” He said giving you a curious look. “Outta the way!!” Mikey bellowed as he hauled shell into the kitchen, he was hungry and wanted to fix his lair famous pizza. Yes he sometimes made pizza when the pizza funds were running dry! When your eyes left Leo’s to look at Mikey, the blue clad turtle quickly grabbed your face.

“No no no, you gotta look at me!” He declared and stared even harder into your eyes. Mikey paused, giving the two of you a weird glance as he shuffled around the kitchen for pizza supplies. “Uh, what’re you two doing??” He asked but he wasn’t overly curious, his mind was still just on food. “Couple stuff, mind your business! And don’t look Y/n in the eyes!! It’ll ruin all my hard work!” Leo said but made no move to look elsewhere.

“Let go!” You squeaked, your face felt too hot, like you might pass out! You were sure you looked like a tomato but Leo wasn’t the type to give in. “Maybe it just takes awhile..” he guessed, still staring, and his hands were starting to brush your cheeks, he could feel how hot your skin was. Luckily his hands were cool to the touch. “Leo it worked okay let me go!” And that was all he needed to hear, “I knew it!! So you do feel something??? Do you love me ten times more than usual??”

He was grinning like a loon, and tugging you out of the kitchen. This touch was more acceptable and you squeezed his hand, unknowingly nodding your head to all his questions. You couldn’t really focus, all you knew was that his touch felt nice. And you didn’t really want him to let go, at least not from your hand.

Leo was in store for lots of handholding, (which usually you weren’t a touchy person) and you showered him in compliments, very much a words of affirmation type. You didn’t really want to leave his side, but if you did go topside it was because you wanted to see his face light up from a gift you had picked out especially for him.

Donatello

You knew the risks of trying your own love potion. You were a witch after all. But you had expected to be alone and wanted to see if the effects wouldn’t well affect if you didn’t make eye contact for a day!

You had movies in store, a whole day to just veg out! But after a couple of movies, you maybe sort of forgot about the no eye contact when your boyfriend Donatello opened up your window with ease. You usually left it unlocked for him, and he knew that so came and went as he pleased.

“Y/n! You’ll never believe what I just invented, it shall change this humble town- no! The world!!” He cackled like the mad scientist he was. You smiled, happy to see your purple turtle and gave him your full attention. But as soon as you met his excited gaze, your eyes widened with realization as you felt the side effects take place.

“Oh sweet Merlin!” You groaned and after you blinked you were up, moving your limbs, well struggling to move away from Donnie. “What? Where are you going?!” He hollered after you as he followed you throughout your apartment. “Dee, you may want to go,” you said through gritted teeth. You did not want him to go, not at all, and it took you biting down on your tongue for you to not take back your words.

You calculated that only a few hours had gone by since you had drank the potion, and it work so well that it felt like you had only took a sip just a few seconds ago. You wrote that down in your little notebook that had been left on the kitchen counter. Meanwhile Donnie was overthinking. You wanted him to leave? But why? Had he done something? He was looking at you with a dejected expression. Maybe you weren’t interested in his inventions anymore… maybe you weren’t into him anymore.

The look on his face had you breaking. “I’m sorry, really Dee I took a love potion for research reasons and I’m feeling the affects right now, I wanna jump on top of you but I know you won’t like that so I—“ Your explanation had him breathing out in relief.

“Well, I don’t know if I can handle you climbing all over me, but I can hold your hand,” he offered and you were at his side in two seconds flat. Holding his hand and breathing out your own sigh of relief. He pulled you to your couch in the living room, “Now as I was saying!” He cleared his throat on of his robot arms bringing out his invention while another setup a projector.

He had a whole PowerPoint ready, because unlike most others, you wanted to know about his work in depth and he loved being able to go all out to explain! You were all “whoa!” “so cool” “but what about this?” “oooh how about adding this!” Throwing in a few, suggestions about how you could do this or that with your magic.

You weren’t letting go of his hand anytime soon. Donnie was in for a week of more touch than usual, definitely more quality time together, and you wanting to give him all the magical charms you could conjure. “But Donnie, my love, this one is for protection! And this one is for strength, and this one is like a stress reliever,” the list went on and on and usually he could decline such magical offerings but you were quick to tears under the love potion influence so he reluctantly accepted your gifts even if they were magical. Even if he had tech protection that also helped with strength and had other ways that his tech could surely help with relieving stress.

🝮 “ teensy-weensy hiccup, oops! ”

2012!raph x reader

author’s note: a new fic? so soon after the other? i may or may not have had time… may have done a li’l bit of writing in class, too… But! My first 2012 request! I hope you like uwu, thankies !!

word count: 1.8k (exactly! isn’t that crazy?)

“ Pay attention t’me. “

Y/N looked up from their place on the floor. Around them laid all kinds of craft materials, from pins to scissors, to glue guns and threads. A tablet was leaning against a box of fabrics, playing a “ How to Make Cute Plushies and Clothes! ” video—currently paused as they struggled to catch up. Their eyes met Raph’s green hues, wavering with an emotion they couldn’t quite pinpoint just yet.

“ What? “

Raph stiffened up visibly, his fists clenching—not out of anger, of course. He would never hurt you, and you were all too aware of that.

“ I just, ya spend so much time with my brothers! What about me, aren’t I just as cool as ‘em? “

Y/N sat stunned for a moment—had you really been paying so little attention to him? Roll the cameras real quick!

You recalled a memory earlier this week, when you had first come down to the lair.

———

“ Y/N, hey! Can you come hold something for me? “

Donnie called to you, from his doorway almost immediately after you stepped through the turnstile. Had it not been for this taking your attention, you might have caught Raph standing in the doorway of his room, frozen in a “ running-out-to-see-you ” position. His face faltered at the big goofy grin that you flashed Donnie, quick to rush in over and see just what kind of strange experiment you would have the pleasure to engage with—it couldn’t be that dangerous! Otherwise he would have asked Mikey, but then again, maybe it was slightly above Mikey-level of safety and right at Y/N-level of safety!

Slipping past the makeshift curtain door, into the taller violet scientist’s lab, Raph would give a huff and close his door, unbeknownst to your gaze.

———

You grimaced at the memory, sucking air through your teeth with a nervous little criss-crossing of your legs. It was then that another memory had come in.

———

“ Oh, Oh, Y/N! Come here, come here and try this that I made—I found a cooking book! “

That had piqued Y/N’s attention enough as they vaulted across the turnstile with a grin that quickly changed to skepticism.

“ Hey, you didn’t put anything weird in it, right? “

Their eyes narrowed at the orange banded turtle holding a moderately safe looking Tupperware of baked macaroni. But, could anyone truly be safe when a meal of Mikey’s came into the room? He eats pepperoni pizza out of the trash, jellybeans and anchovies on custom made pizzas, and happily ate the most nuclearly offensive sludge ever for how many years?! There was no way he didn’t slip SOMETHING strange into here!

“ Y/N, when have I ever made anything that wasn’t a MASTERPIECE, now try it! “

Mikey held a spoonful to Y/N, prompting them to accept spoon-fed food with a giggle that caused a certain red-bandana’d turtle to stir from his nappy-nap on the couch. It was here that he’d see the much-too-homey exchange between Mikey and Y/N—one that quickly dissolved into a screaming chase with the following dialogue:

“ MIKEY, WHAT IS THAT!? IT BLINKED AT ME! “

“ JUST TRY IT, I PROMISE ITS TAAAASTYYYYY!! “

“ NO, GET IT AWAY FROM ME, MIKEY I’M SO SERIOUS! “

Y/N and Mikey ran all around the living space—with you running for your ever-loving life and Mikey running playfully behind you with a much-too-unsettling smirk. This was most definitely a classic sibling move going on, and you would be damned if that Mac touched your tongue!

This memory ended with you leaping into Raph’s embrace—which almost didn’t work if his reflexes hadn’t caught you. Your face buried into his shoulder, muffling your screams, led you to not notice the soft smile that he had for a second before then deciding to protect you from your assailant!

———

Now this memory had Y/N glancing back to Raph to defend themselves, like “ hey, I did do this! cut me some slack, will ya? ” but that was halted by the last memory of the week stirring.

———

“ Y/N, can you come here a second? “

Y/N had come to the lair for a specific reason this time—a movie night planned for just them and Raph! Saturdays were always for the two of them, and they had never missed one!

That is, until tonight. They sidetracked for Leo, expecting it to truly be just a second or two and then straight to Raph’s room!

Instead, you had managed to spend nearly the entire night being scolded, lectured, and then trained by Leo. He had a point for most of it—you weren’t the most perceptive at times, and there was a point this week where it had almost cost you. The brothers had an unfortunate run in with the latest mutated victim, some sort of … possum monster? Well, you had obviously been heading back home from an after-school event when a tail shot towards you and coiled tightly around your waist.

There was only a few seconds for you to understand what was going on. A blur in your peripheral, a tightness around your waist, and a shout that you recognized—Raph! Your head turned to see him with a hand outstretched to you before your frame was lifted from the sidewalk and into the air. A startled screech left your mouth at the sudden whirling danger.

Thankfully, they resolved it quickly, but you hadn’t noticed how Raph huffed under his breath when Leo saved you. It made him uncomfortable how your arms reached out for Leo instead of him! Of course, that was dumb to be jealous about because at least you were safe and Leo always was a bit faster when it came to saving folks, but still! He knew it was dumb to be angry, but he wanted you to save those open arms for him. He wanted to be your knight, your hero, not Leo.

———

So, with those memories floating in their mind, Y/N patted beside them for Raph to sit. By now, the tablet had shut off, leaving the two in silence while surrounded by materials and a little somethin’-somethin’ that was covertly slid right on behind their back.

Not well enough, though!

“ What’s that? “

Raph asked, suspicious of what Y/N decided just HAD to be hidden right this second.

“ I’m sorry—I realize I may have been a tad bit … “

Y/N’s body shifted, facing Raph—swiftly ensuring the hidden treat stayed out of his gaze, of course— then raised their hand to cup his cheek as soft as a kiss as their thumb stroked him lovingly. He leaned into it, albeit still with the long, pouting face and emerald eyes that tried to fixate on the floor but always returned to your own gorgeous hues.

“ I have been a bit negligent with our time… I’m sorry about that, but do know that you’ve been on my mind the entire time! I swear. “

“ Psh, yeah, and that’s why you hung out with my brothers instead? Why you seem to give them more attention? More of your time? “

His voice may have seemed frightening to anyone else, but not you. No, you knew the truth of his tone. Raph wasn’t angry, he was simply worried. Worried you might see more in his brothers, the ones who were much more “ in control “ of their emotions, or at least more than he was. He was just the hothead, and he was just afraid that would scare you away.

“ Weeeeelllll, “

Y/N gave a nervous grin and twiddled their fingers.

“ That was more so a minor hiccup on my part, but here, I can prove it. “

From behind their back, Y/N held up a little turtle plushie. The nervous grin seemed to get wider as they rocked it back and forth with a sing-songy hum. While it had the cute shell on its back, the front plastron was more so like cute little overalls (which totally wasn’t because you may or may not have hiccuped on the steps, not at all, completely on purpose.) there were little dark green buttons as eyes—which you were still iffy about— but not yet a mouth.

“ I got a bit distracted… But, I’ve been trying to do this—you know, since I know the incident with Spike, er, Slash? I know you really loved him, so I figured, ‘hey, what if I made him something?’ A-And what better than a—umph! “

Your spiel was cut short as Raph hugged you suddenly, tightly. Silence followed, up until the softest “ thank you ” escaped him. You loosened up, hugging him back with a growing grin and laughs welling up in your chest.

“ I take it you like it? “

“ … I’m … sorry. “

Whispered ever so quietly was his apology, which you assumed was because of his earlier jealousy. The held-back laughs slipped out as your hold on him tightened comfortably.

“ No need to apologize, it’s my bad! I didn’t mean to push our quality time so far away, Raphie. “

At that nickname, you felt him stiffen for a second, as if contemplating something, before then wordlessly loosening up. Instead, his finger started tracing little circles upon your shoulder blade, hesitating to speak.

“ … So, am I special to you? “

“ Say what now? “

“ Special, like important! “

He pulled back with a blush dusting his cheeks. This time he nailed the whole “ avoid-eye-contact ” thing.

“ Of course, why wouldn’t you be the most important to me? I love you. “

“ Because, y’know… You flash your cute smile at everyone else, I was kind of hoping it was just for m—hey, what’s with that look? “

The most dazed, dumbfounded, disconnected-from-reality-for-a-second look had been plastered across Y/N’s face as a lovesick smirk tugged upwards on the side of their mouth.

“ You think my smile’s cute? “

“ THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE FOCUSED ON? “

“ YOOOUUUU SAAAAAIDDD IIIITTT~~~!! RAPHIE THINKS I’M CU—hWAAAA! “

In a sing-songy voice again, Y/N teased the red banded Raph in front of them. And did so a tad bit too far as he quickly pounced them down, initiating a playful fight-for-one’s-life (and by that, I mean he was trying to do his usual “ blows raspberries on your tummy ”, but who in their right mind would allow that? It tickled! It was silly! Unhand me, I beg of thee!)

After the both of you settled down with giggles, he came to be laying upon his back with his eyes up to the ceiling. You rested upon his plastron, cheek pressed against your arm.

“ You know I love you, right? You mean the world to me, Raph. “

Raph tilted his head, looking at you for a few seconds of silence. He rolled his eyes then pulled you over up onto him more to just hug you closer to him. Consider it his way of saying, “ yes, and I hope you know it’s the exact same for me. “

Hey! Can I request a rise!Donnie or rise!Raph x fem!reader with a reader who is usually very loud and optimistic but has gotten depressed recently due to a boarder-line traumatizing ex attempting to make contact with them at their workplace?

Omg so specific lol and scary

I will try my best! :)

====================

All In Your Head

Rise!Donnie X Fem!Reader

Prompt: Your ex shows up to your job, putting you on edge for the rest of the night.

Pronouns: Feminine (she/her)

Relationship: Dating (not official)

Timeline: Post!Movie

Warnings ⚠️: Angst, mentions of abuse, mentions of mental illness

===================================

You were never good at dating. In fact, you only had one boyfriend in your life, and that only lasted for a few months. But, god, was it one of the worst experiences of your life.

During your time together, your ex-partner was a complete control freak. They never put a hand on you, but the mental manipulation and serial cheating they put you through almost pushed you to the edge.

Often, they made you feel crazy like you couldn’t trust your own self. Your ex had no ability to take responsibility for their actions, so everything was your fault. Obviously you hid their keys when they were in a rush. You obviously wanted to break up when you were hanging out with your friends; you were excluding them.

They would constantly have you thinking you’re the worst girlfriend ever as if you did all those things your ex accused you of.

Eventually, they confessed to you that they were no longer in love with you. They had found someone else and wanted to be with them, not you.

The breakup caused you to slip into a month long depression. You didn’t go out with your friends anymore. You didn’t talk to your parents or siblings. All you did was lie in your bed watching overrated TLC shows.

Gradually, you became your normal boisterous self. Your worried loved ones finally felt some relief as you started hanging out with them regularly, talking, laughing, and extroverted as usual.

You’d also met someone else. Donnie.

Unlike your ex, Donnie cared about you. He always wanted you to be safe, especially since him and his brothers had several enemies and you weren’t equipped to fight any of them off. Sure he could come off as a bit aloof, but you knew he never had the intention to hurt your feelings. He just had trouble understanding certain emotions.

That was better than anything your ex put you through.

•••

You tap away at your phone, texting Donnie that you’d be at your apartment soon. Your boss had basically forced you to take the night shift at the dumpling restaurant even though you had school in the morning. Whatever. Fuck it. You’re graduating soon anyways.

The scientist soon FaceTimed you, which he often did and demanded for you to stay on it until you locked the doors.

“You’re lucky my manager doesn’t care if we’re on our phones or not.” You giggled as soon as Donnie’s face popped up on the screen.

The purple clad turtle shrugged lazily, leaning back in the rolling chair he was sat in. “They’ll have to deal with it either way. Making sure you get home safe is a priority for me.”

Your heart nearly leaped out of your throat when he’d said that so nonchalantly. “Aw, my knight in shining armor.”

“Hardly.” Donnie spoke firmly with a deadpan expression. “I like to think of myself as the literary Bad Boy archetype: a social outcast going against the grain in the name of science.”

With a shrug, you placed the phone on the counter, propping the device up on your bag. “Eh, I’d say you’re more of The Outlaw.”

His drawn-on eyebrows furrowed. “You think I’m ‘potentially criminal’?”

“You remember talking to me about that weird crystal you stole from Draxum?” You smirked at him as you picked the phone back up and ambled over to the front doors to lock them.

Donnie hummed to himself before raising an eyebrow. “Touché.”

After locking the doors, you turned around to gather your belongings. You angle the phone up, facing you at eye level.

“Okay, I’m almost done. Just gotta…” your words trail off as Donnie had leaned closer towards the screen, a concerned yet curious expression adorning his features. “What…?”

“Who’s that behind you? At the door.”

A cold sweat soon overtook your body. Donnie would never mess around with you like that.

Instead of turning around, you gazed at your reflection in the phone. What you saw made you drop the device and press your hands against your lips.

It was your ex.

“(Y/N)? (Y/N), what happened? (Y/N)!” Donnie’s voice was laced with worry.

Without replying to him, you scooped your phone off the floor and ran into the back where your manager, Collin, was counting drawer.

When he saw you shivering with your back pressed against the door, he instantly stood up. “(Y/N), what happened? Are you all right?”

“I-I—” you stuttered heavily. “Someone’s… someone’s at the door…”

Collin cocked an eyebrow as he gently pushed you aside and opened the door. He’s silent for a few seconds before shutting the door, shrugging while doing so. “I don’t see anybody. Do you want me to walk you home anyways?”

You immediately nodded, grabbing your stuff as you waited for Collin to finish counting drawer.

• • •

At your apartment, you remain on FaceTime with Donnie. He had been interrogating you for like fifteen minutes: “who was that?”, “why did Collin have to walk you back?”, “Was it a supervillain?”. On and on.

“Donnie, please just relax.” Your voice shook slightly. “It wasn’t anybody you know.”

Right after that statement, there’s a loud pounding at your bedroom window. You dart your eyes over to it, but your fears are instantly nullified.

You sighed deeply as you slid the glass open to allowed the purple clad turtle to enter your room. “God, you scared the shit outta me.”

He shut the window behind him before surveying your empty Red Bull can littered room, the fixing his gaze onto you. “What did you mean by ‘it’s not anybody I know’?”

You felt your stomach drop as he reminded you of work’s events. “Donnie, I duwanna talk about it right now. Just know that that person is awful.”

The turtle’s eyebrows furrowed. You didn’t normally talk like this. If anything, you would say some sort of quip or reference to American Literature. Something his younger twin would say. But now you just seemed shaky and afraid of something he didn’t understand. And that bothered him. But nonetheless, he didn’t like seeing you upset.

Donnie exhaled. “Okay, fine.”

The two of you sat in a comfortable silence—both you and Donnie tapping away on your phones—for several minutes before you made a proposition.

“Can you… do you think you could maybe… stay over?” I’d been a few months since he stayed over the whole night. Often, the scientist would say that he had projects to work on or a mission to go on or something like that.

He shrugged lazily with a slight smile on his face. “I suppose so if that’ll make you feel better.”

Your sigh of relief causes Donnie to question your behavior. “It’s just… you usually have something to do instead.”

The purple clad turtle hummed to himself. “Well, I can tell you’re afraid of that person at your job, and now you’re afraid to be by yourself. And I think you’re a little more important to me than a project that isn’t even half way off the ground.”

You weren’t sure if Donnie fully understood how much that meant to you: to put off a project just because your ex decided to show up to your job out of nowhere and fuck up your entire night. All you knew is that he was definitely 10x better than your ex.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Author’s Note: this fanfic is kinda bad but I’ve been sick for like 3 days so that’s why I haven’t been posting 😭 but I’ll try my best to get all the requests out.

[tmnt-fun]

How would they react to your calling them a pet name?

He would be so embarrassed! You decided to call him your cherry baby as a nickname, and when you called him the first time, Leo started to laugh but Raph felt his cheeks flush. He turns his head to look at you, his tail starting to wag.

"What?" He asks, which made you smile and you repeated yourself. He lets out a little laugh and walks over, pulling you into a hug and nuzzling his head against yours. "Y/n, you're so cute!" He loved the nickname!

Even if Leo started to, teasingly, call him Cherry sometimes.

"Excuse me?" Was the first thing he would say, turning his head to look at you. His cheeks had the faintest tint of color to them. You decided to give him the nickname of darling.

You smile, saying it again in a teasing tone this time. He stares at you, his cheeks flushing darker then turns his head away and holds up his hand to you, "Stop that" he didn't really want you to stop it, just got embarrassed!

He seems the most excited about it. You, without thinking, called him Baby and he gasped then grinned and hugged onto you, "Y/n! You gave me a nickname" He holds up his other hand, pulling you close. "Baby, ah yeah I like the sound of that. Call me it again" he nuzzles his snout against your cheek. His little tail was wagging like crazy.

If you don't, he's gonna keep bugging you until you call him it again. He's gonna think about this while laying in bed.

He would be the type to not even realize at first. You called him your teddy bear and he just giggled, kissed your cheek, and went back to whatever he was doing.

Like ten minutes later, most likely while you were talking to one of the others, you hear him shout "Y/n!" then he tackles you, hugging you tightly, "You gave me a nickname!" He laughs starting to pepper kisses over your face.

He's a little slow sometimes but he loved the nickname :)

[003]: turtle temper

masterlist

[02/03/04]

tw: swearing?

*･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･''･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

the day of april’s rescue you made it your mission to find her father, as the days passed you felt bad for the girl and you decided to try and be there for her but every time you turned around donnie was following her like a lost puppy.

you had nothing against young love (you spent a lot of time giggling and blushing at romantic novels daydreaming about the same things happening to you) but the way you met, and the way she always knew a little to much, made you doubt a little of her innocence.

still you wanted to be objective and you tried to be kind, so when she arrived at the lair running, almost without breath, hair in all directions and papers in hands you listened to her whit out saying anything as she explained to all of you of a new discover about the krangs.

and when your sensei told you to go see this possible hideout you ran to prepare for whatever would’ve happened that night; still doubting of the redhead even if you knew the bad feeling in your stomach wasn’t about the new girl but something much worse.

april donnie and leo were in the living room and she gave them the indication to the building as they scribbled on the map trying to find the best place to wait.

mickey was seated right next to you on the sofa and he saw the way you tried to be nice even if something was telling you to do the opposite, he offered you a slice of pizza that you eat whit out thinking twice as you moved your focus from the trio on the floor to the kitchen.

“i’m gonna get something to drink, need anything?”

mickey knew you needed some time with his brother and even if his throat was begging him to just drink something he declined your offer moving down near his brothers offering you a smile.

you went to the kitchen but you didn’t even pretended to open the fridge, you seated near raph but you didn’t say anything as you both watched spike eat; he knew you had something to say but he didn’t want to push you and comfortable silence had never been an issue for the both of you.

so he waited. he waited for you to talk about how you hated the new girl, for you to say how you were afraid of the feeling in your guts, or simply to say some joke to break the ice; because he knew everything you had in mind and he knew you wanted to talk about it.

but you didn’t say anything, you kept your mouth shut until you felt like trowing up, like the words needed to be spill, so you asked.

“what do you think of her?”

“don’t know”

“how- what does that even mean? you have to think something about her”

“she’s here cause she needs help, it’s not like we’re best buddy or things like that”

you were exasperated, you couldn’t understand how he could say something like that. if you met someone you have to have an idea of them, right?

“alright but-“

he stopped you mid sentence as he started to understand that this talk was pointless.

“[name] why are ya asking me this?”

you watched him without answering with words but he looked into your eyes and he realised that the answer was there, so he proceed with the next question.

“what do ya think of her?”

“what? i- uh i- i just- you know i-“

you felt something on your hand and you looked down to see his green one on top of yours.

“[name] ya can talk to me.”

he was right, you could talk to him.

“it’s just the way she was kidnapped the day we went out, in front of our eyes; and how the mutagen was here, and also that she always looks like she now to much, i’m not the only, you see that too right? and i also have this feelings that something big is gonna happen, something bad; and i don’t think it’s about her, but i also can’t stop doubting of her because-yeah just it seems right so i’m in this endless circle of not understanding anything that’s going on and it’s driving me crazy”

while you rambled raph didn’t interrupted you not even once and he just nodded letting you know that he was listening to everything you said.

“it’s fine to doubt a little, ya have all the right motives; and yeah ya right she always knows everything, it’s almost worse than donnie, but since she’s on our side is good, don’t ya think?”

“maybe”

“and sensei always tell us to trust our guts so, if ya feel like this there’s gonna be an explanation, but don’t worry i- we will be there for ya, we always do.”

“yeah, your right. thanks red”

“it’s n’thing”

after that the only sound that could be heard was spike biting his lettuce, your hands were still touching under the table but no one said nothing about it. cause it was normal, right?

-☆彡

you and the turtles were waiting for the kraang to show up, after consulting the map leo had opted for an old building near the kraang’s lair to keep watch and that was exactly what you were doing.

donnie was the one with the telescope now and leo kept on asking the same question.

“anything?”

“nothing yet!”

you were laying down as always, watching the sky, it was like you couldn’t get enough of it. as you were getting lost counting the stars you heard mickey pained scream.

“when ninjas are around some villains they are supposed to be quiet.”

“sorry leo, i’ll scram quieter”

mickey kept on annoying raph until he decided to do something, he took his arm making him fall down and their grunts could be heard in the silence of the night.

“say it”

“raph, be quiet!” scolded him leo.

“not till mickey says it”

“this?again?!” you interrupted.

“raphael is all wise and powerful”

“and…”

“and he’s better than me in every possible way”

“and…”

“and we don’t give a da-“ you tried to say as you got up.

“and i’m a lonely worm beneath his feet who dosn’t deserve to live in the same planet as him cause he’s so amazing and i’m a dirt cloth”

while mickey interrupted you you cleaned your hands on your legs, and you walked near leo and donnie to sit on the edge of the roof.

“and��”

“and in the history of universe there’s never been a-“

“enough!”

“thanks leo” you didn’t turned around as you talked keeping your eyes on the street under your feet.

“we’re wasting our time the kraangs aren’t gonna show up”

“have a little patience will you?“

“trust me guys, they’re gonna break into that lab. i have reliable intel.”

“intel? ya mean april told ya”

“you mean your girllllfrienddd”

“she’s not my girlfriend mickey! she’s a girl, who’s a friend, who’s dad got kidnapped by the same aliens were are gonna beak into that lab, and we’re gonna stop them!”

“or we’re gonna sit on a roof all night for no reason.”

“if we’ve to stay here all night at least let’s go get some pizza.” you tried to propose.

“what the heck is going on up here?” asked a new voice.

“oh shit!”

the man took a good look at all of you before he talked and you were surprised that he didn’t ran away like all peoples do.

“what are you a pair of dressed up?”

leo tried to reason with him since his tone wasn’t a kind one but as his eyes moved to the broken signal his anger came out.

he insulted the guys with some words that you didn’t even know the meaning of and you clearly saw that raph wanted to do something.

you put an hand on his shoulder as you stopped him from doing anything stupid, your blood boiled too but you knew better than start a fight with some random man.

“raph” you called softly and you saw his posture relax a bit.

“let’s go” said leo.

you walked in front of raph thinking that it was over but the man kept on insulting him and raph growled before he got ready to start the fight.

you and the guys were keeping him on the spot by his arms as he and the man insulted each other; none of you saw that the kraans arrived on the roof and were ready to hurt you, until one of them almost shoot raphael in the head.

you dragged raph back and you all took your weapons ready to put down some alien robots as leo scolded raph again.

“way to blow our position raph”

the kraang tried to get you but with their terrible aim you dodged every bullet and arrived near enough to put them to ‘sleep’.

you turned around after you gave one a punch in the face hoping to find the turtles but to your surprise another one of them was there.

he tried to copy your action of before aiming at your face but you ducked down and used your knife to stab him in the side, you watched as he froze for a second before he fall down.

you looked around and saw that for now he was the last one and you took a deep breath as you heard the man speak again.

“keep going kung fu frogs, this is pure gold”

“we’re not frogs ya idiot”

“yeah and it’s not king fu it’s ancient Japanese art”

“yeah and what about me, didn’t you see how kicked that robot’s butt?” you protested without thinking twice.

“guys,[name], he got us in video”

“not for long he dosen’t”

raph tried to get him but the man closed the door making him only get an headache.

“ah ah i’m gonna make a bunch of money for this”

“ fire trucks on root, thirty seconds”

“we have to hide” you said alarmed.

“let’s go” replied the leader

“wait we have to find that guy and break his phone, and his face”

as he talked all his brothers ignored him escaping from the fire truck thanks to the roof, as you saw this you caught raph wrist with your hands dragging him away.

“come on raph”

he growled but didn’t objected and you ran back to the man hole; as you two were the last you decided to ask him some question about his attitude of the night.

“want to explain?”

“what?”

“alright, if that’s how you wanna do it”

you shrugged before you decided to leave him behind and ran near his brothers. as he watched you he suddenly got angry.

who were you to ask him that? it’s not like you had anger issues, he wanted to see what you would’ve done in the same situation. he couldn’t believe you didn’t did anything you were always saying how you cared about them. what? you could take an hypothetical bullet for them but not punch a guy? yeah sure.

you looked behind you to see raph with an angry stare directed to you and you understood what was happening in his brain with just a glance; you made a mental note to go talk to him back in the lair but for now you opted for a soft look in his direction.

cause that’s how you communicated, with eyes first and words later. cause that’s normal for friends, right?

-☆彡

when you arrived back to the lair you weren’t surprised with splinter’s angry expression as you explained the situation of the night.

you were kneeling in front of him between donnie and mickey with your heads down as you listened to the lecture of the day.

“not only did raphael alert the kraang but you got caught, on video.”

“sensei, he was the angriest and nastiest guy i’ve ever met”

“except for you” mickey tilted his body towards raph as he said those words, and as you saw the hothead’s hand up in the air ready to strike , you dragged mickey back in his place from his arm making his brothers miss.

“ya should’ve heard the insult this guy trowed at us they were so… insulting”

“how surprising” you replied sarcastically, splinter seemed to like your tone as he copied you to scold his son.

“how i did not realise he said mean things, of course you had no choice but to jeopardise your mission”

“burn”

mickey put his fist in your direction and you rolled your eyes before doing the same.

“you are ninjas, you work in the shadows, in secret, this becomes difficult if there’s proof of your existence in high definition!”

“look we know we’re this guy lives all we need to do is find him and shake him until the tape pops out”

“oh there’s no tape, video phones use flash memories and-“

“donnie i would shut it if i were you” you tried to warn him as raph growled near you.

“anger is self destructive”

“i always thought it was ‘others destructive’”

“raphael! stand. up.”

you all started to feel bad for him at this, angry splinter wasn’t easy to deal with and you all knew it from personal experience. still mickey kept on being his child self as he joked about raph situation.

“somebody is in trouble”

another growl was heard before splinter gave you the next order.

“in the dojo, now! we have training to do”

and that’s what you all did, you went in the training room and you waited as your sensei gave each of the turtles some arrows and a bow explaining the exercise, he arrived in front of you and you expected him to tell you to sit down.

but he gave you the same weapons as the others and you looked into his eyes, he only gave you a nod to tell you that that would’ve been the start of the new training.

you,donatello,leonardo and michealangelo were walking in circle around raphael with your arrows pointed on him.

“avoid the arrows”

“no problem”

master splinter gave you the signal of the start and you all tried to get raph, you watched as he succeed easily on his task and you looked at him with a small smile.

“again, except this time donatello, leonardo, [name] and michelangelo, insult raphael”

“oh no i can’t do that” you said without missing a beat.

“you have to” splinter gave you an hard glance that motivated you enough.

“wait insult him?“

“yes”

“and he can’t fight back?”

“no”

“i’m feeling good about this plan”

your sensei gave you the start one more time and you started walking around raphael again.

mickey was the first one to speak but raphael avoided his arrow with ease; next was leo and at his insult raph couldn’t contain himself from answering back getting hit; after went donnie, with two insult and two arrow he got both the hit.

they continued with the insult but you remained silent just sticking to aiming your arrows without talking, you watched as raph tried to contain his anger but he failed ,and leo said the last insults.

“what’s the matter raph, gonna cry?”

“i’m” an arrow hit him on the side of his head.

“not” another.

“gonna cry” the last one was from you and it got him right between his eyes making him fall on his back.

“i wish this moment could last forever.”

“ya know what? forget this, this is stupid”

“ah it didn’t.”

you watched with sad eyes as splinter explained to raphael the art of undue insult with patience and humility and how it was important for a ninja to keep his feelings at bail. he gave you the mission to get the video back but without force, only with reasoning.

you all nodded, just wanting to get over it and get back to eat pizza together with the tv on, on the floor of the living room.

“good luck, my children”

-☆彡

you were waiting for the man in a dark alley, he was talking on the phone but you clearly heard something about frogs and kung fu.

as he arrived in the right position you jumped down circling him with the boys, he didn’t except you there and a high pitched scream left his throat.

“lay one finger on me frogs, and i’m calling the cops”

“we’re not gonna hurt ya”

“than what do you want freaks?“

an hit in the ribs stopped you from saying anything sarcastic.

“we got off on the wrong foot last night, somethings were said and well,we would just like that video back”

leo gave raph the same hit prompting him to say something else.

“please”

“what are you gonna give me for it?“

“gave ya for it?”

“well i figured i got you over a barrel so you gotta make it work my while”

“i’ll make it work yar while, i won’t take yar head and smash it against a-“

you took raph by his shell dragging him against you as leo took the word trying to reason with the man.

“so, what are you looking for?”

he responded with a strange word that no one knew the meaning of.

“uh a cu-meal of what?”

“a million dollars”

you rolled your eyes at his request, how could he even believe that you had a million dollars was behold reasons.

“we don’t have a million dollars?”

“we do have some canadian quarters that fell through the grates”

“i could make serious money of this thing and if you don’t wanna pay i’ll find someone else who does.”

at that raph saw red, how could this man come here and tell them what to do? he was just some drunk dude with nothing interesting in his life, how could his brothers stays that way and do nothing? didn’t they wanted to smash his head on the floor too?

he grabbed the man by his collars and he made him fell on the ground going on top ready to punch him.

“hand over the video or help me i’ll-“

“guys,guys guys!” you started giving slap on the boys arm as you saw the kraangs arrive on their van.

“the kraang”

raph was on the road and he was about to get ran over until leo jumped and moved both him and the man out of the way.

“look out, let’s not let this one get away”

raph proceeded with trowing a bin against the van’s window making it crash against a wall.

“well that was easy”

you stood in-front of the back door as the kraang came out and started shooting at you.

“you had to talk!” you screamed as you dodged the bullets.

two robots came at you and you used the back of your katana to punch the one behind you on the face as you chopped the other’s hand off; his hand was the one with the gun and as it touched the ground you cut it in half.

the alien of before got up from behind you and decided to put both his arm around your throat, as the one with one arm tried to took your sword you cut his head off and with all your force you made the back off your head hit the kraang face. he let you go and you pushed him back.

as you regained your breath you turned around seeing raph going to the van and leo getting kicked on the floor by one of the kraang. you took your weapon and you cut it in half freeing leo from him. you offered him an hand as the other brothers continued the fight but as you finished you saw the van ran away.

“raph is in the van”

you followed it and when you arrived near enough donnie tried to make raph get out but he failed as the hothead chose his anger again.

a krang took him and made him fall off the van he rolled down the road hitting you making you all fall down.

“ouch”

“nice going raph”

“what did i do?”

“what did you do?“ repeated leo incredulous “you left the four of us in the middle of the fight to yell at somebody, we could’ve stopped them but thanks to your tamper the guy with the tape-“

“again technically it’s a flash-“

“not now!”

you gave donnie a pat on the arm before moving your hand on his head forcing him to put it on your shoulder as you continued patting him.

“is in the hands of the kraang, now how are we supposed to find them?”

donatello remained like that even if it wasn’t comfortable but as he saw something on the floor he tried to get away; you didn’t move forcing him to stay there with a smirk until he used all his force.

“let go of me”

“alright alright” you laughed as he went down touching the road.

“look the truck’s leaking”

“oh yeah!”

“alright we can follow the trail to the hideout”

“and then we bust some heads. what?”

“we are going to bust some heads, you are going home”

“what are ya kidding? come on guys, are we gonna let leo power trip like this?

“i think leo’s right”

“[name] ya don’t think that right?”

“i just think that today is not your day raph”

“you gotta control your temper, until then… we just can’t trust you”

they all turned around leaving raph alone under the light, you watched as he looked down ashamed and you walked near him. you took his head in your hands making him look at you as you talked.

“i trust you raph, i know you’ll come around.”

you let your hands fall to your side as you gave him one last look. he looked back but didn’t said anything as he watched your figure ran to his brothers. the same brothers that told him to go back home.

how could you be so perfect but feeling so backstabbing, he knew you weren’t taking anyone’s side but as he watched you jump from roof to roof with them he couldn’t help but feel betrayed, and he let his anger out again as he trowed his sai down the road letting tears fell down his cheek.

-☆彡

you guys arrived at the end of the tracks, and you hided behind a corner to take a look at the place.

“are we seriously gonna do this whit out raph?”

“yeah it’s gonna be weird without the hothead”

“mickey,[name], we can handle it”

“i don’t know it’s just feels like something’s missing”

leo hit mickey in the head and that was enough to make him feel okay with the situation.

“ouch,thanks”

“happy to help” replied leo as he gave you an high three.

with some part of parkours and some moment of hiding you arrived inside the building whit out being seen. everything was dark and silent until you heard mickey and donnie fight behind you, maybe ralph’s temper was being missed more than what you thought.

leo scolded them and you continued to walk through the corridors of the building. at one point you heard some voices and you saw the man from before talking with the kraang.

he tried to make them buy the video but you knew that the kraang would never let a man have proof of their existence, as the kraang were distracted you dragged the man to you thanks to a rope and you watched as he turned around making eye contact.

“we’re gonna get you out of here”

“what about my phone?” screamed him

you and leo both shushed him as he could alert the kraang of your presence but that was exactly what happened after his next words.

“don’t shush me, i ain’t leaving whit out my phone.”

“stop the one that need to be stop” said a robotic voice.

“stop”

“[name], remind me why we had to rescue this guy”

“oh donnie, i have no idea.”

the fight started and you dodged every bullet as always, you became more surprised every day of their terrible aim; they were robot how could they suck that much at something like that.

while you were kicking one of the robots you heard a scream from the other side of the rooms and everything stopped. the kraang sent one of them to go see what was that noise but as soon as he turned the corner his body was trow right back near you.

“i don’t like the sound of that”

“believe me, me neither”

seconds after an enormous spider thing jumped in front of you making you freeze in your tracks.

“i don’t like the look of it either.”

“uh is this the right time to remind you guys that i’m arachnophobic?”

“NO” they screamed all together answering you.

“what did you do to me? i’m hideous”

“believe me, you’re better than before” you sassed.

“don’t worry the five of us can handle it”

“okay this might be a bad time to point this out but you sent one of the five of us home.”

“and right know i wished it was me”

“this is your fault, i’m gonna rip your head off”

“alright guys prepare to rush out the mighty head of justice”

“seriously can you just yell ‘get him’”

“yeah leo you’re seriously ruining my image”

“get h-“ after you talked leo was pushed away by one of the spider’s legs and you cringed at the sound of the wood breaking.

“and he fly away, classic” you responded trying to stay fit.

donnie was the first one to try and attack but after him one at the time you all launched at him. you regrouped on a corner as mickey tried to sound intimidating.

“it’s that all you got?”

the spider responded by spitting acid at your feet making the floor dissolve.

“why do you always have to ask that?”

“cause the answer i was looking for was ‘yes’”

he kept on tried to hit you with his acid vomit but you succeed on dodging every spit, for some time you ran away from him as he tried to attack you until you stopped on a point on the floor; you heard it crack and you looked down to see that the acid had break it. not lots of seconds after you all fell down and you grunted in pain as you got up.

“we’re no match for spider bites”

“spider bites?”

“well he’s a spider, and he bites”

“we get it”

“yeah mickey you have to work on your naming skills”

“[name]! how dare you says something like that?”

at that point ‘spider bites’ fell down the same hole as you ready for another attack. you tried to ran away again but he kept on blocking you every time.

“this bug is fast”

“haven’t you see spiderman leo?”

“what? why?”

“[name]’s right cause technically spider’s aren’t bugs but-“

he got donnie in his ‘hand’ just to grow him near you again.

“alright, time’s over frogs” he said to you before spitting again.

“wow, i didn’t think this guy could get any uglier” talked a voice that you knew all to well.

“that’s what i said”

“RAPH!”

he jumped down with an exaggerated trick and a smirk as he watched you smile in his direction.

“well, i think you’ve been punished enough. come and join us”

“oh hey it’s the kung fu frog with the salad tools”

“ehy it’s the stupid loud mouth who’s about to get his butt kicked”

‘spiderbites’ tried to hit raph with his acid but he dodged hit, still the spider waisted no time in circling you again with acid making you fall into another floor.

you got up and you looked at your feet only to see what was under you.

“donnie, it’s that what i think it is?”

“yeah let’s not fall trough this floor”

you couldn’t see what was happening over you but you heard ‘spider bites’ words before he jumped down.

“watch me turn your friends and your little girlfriend into frog fries, i’ll serve them up with your salad’s tools”

he used a yellow web to fall down to you but raphael cut it mid way making him fall down.

“froggy thinks he can stop me, rippy rippy”

as he continued on his insult raph took a deep breath remembering his sensei words, but that wasn’t the only thing in his mind as a flash of you hours before appeared in front of his eyes.

you took his head in your hands making him look at you as you talked.

“i trust you raph, i know you’ll come around.”

you let your hands fall to your side as you gave him one last look.

you trusted him, you knew he could do it, and who was him to let you down? he took a deep breath as he concentrated on remaining calm.

“i go river over stone” he said in a low tone.

he smirked before attacking and he succeeded in having the upper hand as you finally saw him under you fighting alone; you watched him with wide eyes as he dodged every kick hurting ‘spider bites’ real bad.

his brothers watched the way you looked at him and they shared knowing glance before leo interrupted your train of thoughts.

“what do you say, wanna go down and help him?“

you didn’t answer as you jumped down followed by them .

“that’s some kung fu frog”

“we are not some ‘kung fu frogs’, we are ‘ninja turtles’”

“and [name]”

“yeah yeah” responded raph moving his head from side to side, after that you attacked this time all together.

after mickey and donnie, raph and leo attacked and for last you who kicked him right in his head making him fall; and as you walked towards him raph broke his phone with his foot.

“finally” you exclaimed with a grin.

“oh my phone, you guys are gonna regret this” he ran away and you tried to follows him but as you arrived on top of the building you saw that he was too far away for you.

“i know a nice black widow that’d be great for him”

“if you mean natasha please leave her to me” you said too donnie

“nice work raph, i just wanna say-”

“you don’t have to apologise”

“i wasn’t going to”

“oh”

“that burns” you talked with a smirk

“yeah raph not bad for a bloated buffalo”

raph didn’t let that slide like mickey thought instead he attacked him making them fall on the ground.

“okay,okay, raph is all wise and powerful”

“and…”

“he’s better than me in very possible way”

-☆彡

you were back in the lair, master splinter let you all go and relax after you told him about your adventure; and you decided to go check on the boys before going to sleep.

first was donnie who you found asleep on the desk of his lab, you covered him with a blanket and put a pillow under his head before turning off every light.

after you saw mickey on the sofa watching the tv, he was already asleep covered with pillows so you lowered the sound of the tv knowing that he liked to have some background noise.

you saw leo awake in the dojo and you knocked on the door to let him know of your presence. he told you to come in and you sit on the side of the floor watching him train a little more before he decided to come near you.

“so, your going to train with us again” started him.

“yeah, i just missed you a lot you know”

“[name], you see us every day”

“but it’s not the same”

“you live with us!”

“i know alright? it’s- i- i- i don’t wanted to be a burden during those new fight, i always loose against you and you aren’t even trying to hurt me. those things want to, and how can we beat them if you have to worry about me.”

“[name] we’re a team we’ll always worry about you.”

“yeah sure” you said rollin your eyes.

“what?“

“you keep on telling me that i’m one of you but there’s no way you actually think that”

“why wouldn’t we?“

“cause you’re this big family and i’m just the friend that lives here, i’m just a human, i don’t have an indestructible shell, i don’t have hard skin and i don’t have anything that’s needed to the team”

“you don’t understand it, do you? you are needed to the team, like we need raph and his temper, donnie and his crush on april or mickey and his inner child, we need each other cause we’re family not cause we have skills”

“but i-“

“stop alright? it dosen’t matter if you’re a mutant or no, the only thing that matters is that you’re a part of this family if you want it or not” he took a breath before looking you right in the eyes “just because you’re human it dosen’t mean you aren’t one of us”

there were some second of silence before you felt the urge to break the ice

“damn, when did you become so wise blue?”

“you know, a leader has to be all wise and shit”

“ ‘and shit’ mostly i’d say”

“yeah yeah, whatever”

you laughed but didn’t say anything else as you looked at your feet you heard music from the tv and leo started humming to it; and with that all the tiredness of the day came over making you sleepy, without noticing you lowered your head and as you realised that you were about to go in the world of dreams you said one last thing to the leader.

“talk to raph will you? tell him he did a good job”

and your eyes closed missing leo’s knowing smile as it appeared on his face.
