Baby Blue (8/25)

first/previous/next

IMPORTANT: Okay, so I'm unable to make 4 pages a week now, unfortunately. Hence a poll on twitter, asking if y’all want 2 pages every week or 4 every two weeks and 2 pages a week won. So here we go.

[lockandkeycake]

Ignore this post, my HoTD moots, this is going to be a long post you don't care about.

it's PJO/HoO rant time.

What can I say, Tumblr brings me back to the simpler times of 2016.

Y'all baby Frank too much. Like. Way too much.

Leo was a dick at times, no doubt. But I think y'all forget Frank was absolutely being antagonistic because he was paranoid over Leo looking like Hazel's ex. You can argue it's because Leo fired on New Rome, but Frank himself counters that claim and Leo is initially grateful Frank didn't blame him.

Frank was also the first one to bring up Sammy, not Hazel, just before that. Later, all before Leo says anything against Frank, Piper thinks Frank's behavior is because it seems like Leo and Hazel had a history. This is a longer bit of a book scene, but I feel like it gets ignored.

This is still before Leo says anything against Frank. I will be saying that a number of more times. Leo just complimented his ability and Frank responds with a pretty catty comment about Leo's physical abilities. You can see the difference in how he reacts even more clearly in a scene before, when Hazel is commenting on Frank turning into a dragon

Frank doesn't counter the idea to become a dragon, he just has an issue with leaving Hazel with Leo. Leo again, so far, isn't upset with Frank. He wants to prove he's trustworthy.

When Piper does her fun little exorcism on the lads, this happens. I have to say yet again. Leo has not insulted Frank at this point. Not a huge issue, Frank was a bit shaken up, but it was still kind of a dick move to just. Let him hit the dirt. I'll excuse it because it is very funny.

Later when they find out about Nico, this scene below happens. Leo has still not said anything against Frank at this point - Jason even agrees repeatedly with Leo, but Frank only glares at Leo.

After this, when Hazel is upset and leaves, Leo starts to likely say he should go apologize, but Frank cuts him off saying, "you've done enough."

We're a few hundred pages through the book now at this point. Frank has insulted Leo, he doesn't trust him, doesn't want Hazel around him, singles him out, and literally let him fall to the ground. Leo has not said anything against him yet.

Even Percy notes that Frank's mood is tied to his relationship with Hazel, and Leo seemingly threatening that.

(and for those who are curious - baleful means threateningly, or to wish harm)

This is when, after a good chunk into the novel, we reach Leo's first dig at Frank.

Then ~the iguana incident~ comes not long after, but if you're going to call this Leo bullying him, you'd have to include... Everyone. Since they literally all laughed at Frank turning into a lizard to get out of the finger trap. Hazel, Percy, Annabeth, everyone. Not a fun moment for Frank, I sympathize with him there, but I wouldn't personally call this pointed bullying. You may disagree but I do not think at the very least that Riordan intended it to be seen as bullying. This is followed by Leo sending Frank's dirty laundry out on Buford for awhile (though he does claim that it would be cleaned and returned to him, eventually we do learn the laundry is lost. This was not a planned thing by Leo, and I don't understand why this is characterized by some people as him purposely throwing away Frank's clothes.)

All this eventually leads to this exchange.

Gee, I don't know, Frank. Maybe because you keep glaring at him anytime you're around him to the point even Percy was like oh boy I got to get him off the ship before he folds Leo like a pretzel.

Later, Frank actually helps save Leo in eagle form, but ends up injured in the process - and drops Leo. I really don't think Frank meant to drop him, but Leo thinks Frank dropped him on purpose. That's kind of a big thing, even though it's a minor line.

Then, Frank is back to being untrusting of Leo. He's glowering, glaring, and again - doesn't want to leave Leo with Hazel.

When Hazel is alone with Leo, she finally takes the time to defend Frank.

So, clearly, Frank scares Leo.

Leo scares Frank.

It's a fun horrible little wicked web! It's almost like the author intended them to buttheads! Shocking!

I've run out of pictures to add!

I could and probably will continue this nonsense, but the general point of this rant is Frank is not just some totally sweet big guy who has never done anything wrong in his entire life, and characterizing him as such just makes him boring. He's self conscious, insecure, and lashes out at- boy, doesn't that sound familiar. Anyway.

He was kind of a dick to Leo, and Leo was kind of a dick to him in turn.

I'm pretty sure I had a better ending for this originally, that summed everything up, but now I'm distracted and just bitter they didn't kiss.

I didn't even have time to reach their interactions underwater.

[demigod-shenanigans]

Thinking about Valgrace and Fatal Flaws actually. Thinking about Leo and his self-esteem issues, how he always thinks he doesn’t belong and feels untrusted.

Thinking about Jason’s obsessive need to get everything right and overthink things to hell to the point where he struggles to make any decisions at all because he wants things to work out for everyone (indecision is at least the most common interpretation of his fatal flaw I’ve seen due to the whole Notus situation).

Thinking about Jason’s utter inability to trust his own gut and go with the flow and that being Leo’s main Modus Operandi. Thinking about Jason not only thinking that Leo belongs and trusting him but very specifically trusting Leo in ways Jason doesn’t even trust himself.

Thinking about the boy who got abandoned by his mom as a child attaching himself to the boy who’s been running away for most of his life and trusting him instinctually.

I woke up an chose violence for xmas eve~ LINE UP BOIZ

I kinda just went nuts on this....I am sorry no one asked for it haha Gunna share what I have thought out so far tho. ~ more below!!!!

Virus started in Draxums lab, Zombie are mutated yokai/human undead affected by the Oozesquitoes. The events of the apocalypse start before the pilot episode of rottmnt, So the boys do not have the Ninpo and the weapons they get from draxums labs. The boys never learn about it before Splinter dies. (this is to give more of a challenge to the story an fun 0w0 no tech an no powers. We SURVIVING BABY) This also means that the boys dont understand the hidden city an yokai as they would in the show. This is all silly fun so its not that serious~ I just wanna have some fresh angst an zombies yo

~~more of the injuries -Mikey, he's mostly Deaf due to an accident with a bomb created by Donnie. To close to the explosion and the whole thing was hectic but that's why Mikey has a large scar on the right side of his face/neck as well. He is the most un "damaged" of the 4, as his brothers fiercely protect him. Mikey is more emotionally distant due to the trauma of the undead and people dying around him. -Leo arm goes chop chop pretty early on in the apocalypse due to a bite, he duels with one katana an his arm in close combat. He's less humorous in this AU, a bit more stricter. I don't have much information on him XD He leads along with Raph. -Donnie, no tech, still wears battleshell but it no longer functions. Its heavily modified due to it being the same size when the apocalypse started. Left leg was bitten in a food/supply run with Raph (Raph also lost his Tail as well during this time((bite)) Donnie is a much more tactical fighter, distance an smarts. Uses staff to impales undead head at safer distance. Donnie is much more cruel spoken in this au later on in life, he's not very optimistic but finds humor in it. Almost switching rolls with Leo's personality, not completely but almost like a trauma response to the apocalypse. -Raphie~ Uses double barrel gun as a last resort, He relies on his Sais an his thick skin to protect his family. His right eye is blind due to yokai zombie attack.(was zombie big mama 0w0) he lost a large portion of his tail along with Donnies leg the same time. (Will go more into detail of that later) He is much more protective of his brothers, untrusting an weary of strangers.

[redraven393]

okay so I LOVE the "love at first sight" style Leoichi fic I see in ao3 but-

I really REALLY want to see someone explore on rise!Leon's untrusting of random strangers trait. cause that personality trait is what makes me fond of the kid in the first place.

out of all of the Turtle brothers, Leon has always been the most cautious and suspicious around any strangers they meet.

yes, he will try to play nice with them and get his charms on but that was his JOB. Leon is the "face man" he'll play any role that will make them not feel threatened, but it doesn't mean he'll blindly take everything they say and promise to them at face value.

Leon knows a liar when sees one because he is also a liar and the only person that can get away with lying to his brothers are him and him alone.

the most trusting Leo has been with others outside of his family was Senor Hueso, and by that point of the timeline, I think the Hamato brothers have already spent a lot of time to know about the skeleton man.

(also that one time where Leon is quick to believe Jupiter Jim and follow him into his house but I'll call it a fan-biased things because to Leon he has known this man since they were all a kid)

it takes time for Leon to trust someone new and it will take even longer if they were on the opposite side first. Leon is not one to trust an enemy so easily.

(and good lord if you have somehow betrayed or slighted him personally the kid can hold on to a grudge for a damn long time)

yes, Leon is fruity as fuq, but it doesn't mean he's stupid. I don't think he is the type to fall in love just by first sight or quick exchange, they already experience way too much for that.

Hello!

To celebrate the beginning of the Family Reunion Summer Camp, we (cabin 8) decided to offer every other participant and cabin a little something!

(Art and Mind’ O Wave AU by @liya4kar

Big Mama’s Favorite by @usernameneon)

(I apologize- I was going to draw a response but my pencil and phone aren't agreeing with me qwq)

"A gift?" Leonardo looked interested- though he wasn't sure if he could trust it. A version or not... that was a version of his Mikey. And if he knew Mikey...

"Aw come on, old me." Leo rolled his eyes, thanking the three with a sweet smile and taking the gift. "That's a version of my Raph! And my Hermano would never ever do anything mean! He's just nice like that."

"...Uhhh... you might want to reconsider that, Baby Blue." The older turtle did not trust that grin on the other Donnie's face.

"Ugh." Leon rolled his eyes, and undid the ribbon on the box. "Look- I get it, you think you're Batman, broody and untrusting of everything around you- but come on! You're a version of me! Surely you can stop the Batman act just for a-"

*SPLASH!*

"..."

"..."

"..."

The three turtles from cabin 8 burst into hysterical laughter.

Leonardo looked shocked at his counterpart- who was covered in green ooze from head to toe. Leo seemed to be horrified, frozen in place.

"...Did they just- did they just slime me?!" He cried out, finally looking himself over, then turning his gaze to the other snapping turtle. A version of Raph? Raph?!

And Leonardo-

He couldn't help the shocked laughter, covering his mouth and looking away, trying his hardest to hold it in but failing. The slider turned to him, offended. "Are you laughing at me?! This is- my skincare is ruined!"

*Click*

Leo's head snapped back so fast- just in time to see another turtle filming him. And that offended look?

Leonardo could barely keep it together, sinking on his knees and laughing quietly. Fuming, Leo stormed off, ignoring the four turtles behind him. He needed a shower. He needed a shower right now and then he was getting payback.

...And yet.

Once he was far enough... he stopped.

Leo turned back, for a moment... and looked at that version of his older brother, who was now laughing without a care in the world. Clearly having fun. By something his Raph would never even think about.

"..." Leo snorted. He smiled softly, shaking his head and folding hid hands behind his head- even though the ooze slipped inside his shell because of it.

Well. At least they were having fun.

Thinking about how Rise!Leo and 2k12!Leo wouldn’t get along if you were ‘on the line’….

(this blurb is probably in the area of poly, even though it isn’t addressed, but rise and 2k12 are platonic within the polycule.)

NOT WITHOUT TRYING!! 2k12! is desperately trying to be a good sport: giving a smile, buying Rise! pizza in the hopes of sharing it with him over a deep conversation, complimenting his Odachi..

but Rise!? Rise!Leo is a little shit once you come into the mix. In any other situation, Rise! Would have ZERO problem messing with someone who seems just a little too uptight, it’s part of his love language of teasing!! But when you’re in the room, he can’t help but scowl at whatever 2k12 does.

“For me?” 2k12 smiles widely, looking at the gift you gave him with nothing but pure delight, “are— are you sure? I mean, its so beautiful..” he fidgets. Rise scoffs, leaning on your shoulder as he mutters ‘give me a break..’

Rise feels completely untrusting towards 2k12, unbelieving that anything he does is genuine. He thinks there’s simply no way someone — especially a version of him, could be that skittish. “Don’t you see that! Didn’t you see what he just did!!” He’d whine, pointing an accusatory finger when 2k12 does something as simple as shift on his feet uncomfortably. You shoot him a glare, and Rise pouts like his life is on the line, cheek pressed in your shoulder as he wraps an arm around you protectively.

“my, are you jealous of yourself, Leon?” You smirk devilishly, leaning in your hip with your arms crossed. 2k12 shoots Rise a look of complete and utter shock, “that’s what all this was?” 2k12 suppresses a laugh— going to step forward in an attempt to comfort his other self, but you hold a hand out— wanting to see Rise squirm.

Rise Leo makes a face, one that he hoped made it clear how blasphemous that accusation was, “What!?” He says, eyebrows furrowing together. “I’m simply protecting you!”

This time 2k12 lets the laugh slip through, shaking his head, “From— yourself?” Rise shoots him a glare, and 2k12 raises his hands, making it clear he was backing off.

they eventually sort it out, but now that 2k12 knows what was going on, they develop a huge dynamic of teasing each other— running circles around you. “Ladies, ladies, you’re both pretty, can I go home now?” You quip, and both Leos jump at the opportunity, “Megamind, November 5th 2010!!” They yell simultaneously, looking to you to see who you deemed the winner.

“You dorks..”

“your dorks**!” Rise corrected, sidling up to you with a smile. 2k12 mirrored his actions, and you were left realizing that these two working together was going to be the death of you.

[lotus-duckies]

i think one of my favorite details that i've noticed in rewatching 2012 again is that

Donnie and Leo, in writing, are very similar people who suffer very similar problems, but just different enough that they can't get their heads together on any given problem

Fungus Humungous, Metalhead Rewired, Mutagen man Unleashed, and The Fourfold Trap are good examples of them sharing a lot of behaviorisms and like. how they conflict because of that

They're both obsessive to the point of dysfunction, expect too highly of themselves, untrusting of anything that they perceive as a personal threat to their person (like with Leo and Metalhead, and Donnie and Casey), and worry a lot about doing the right thing

Especially Fungus Humungous, where we see their greatest fears are very similar in conception. At their core, they fear hurting people they care about and that they're horrible people for doing so and being abandoned by said people.

Donnie's fear is shrouded in self esteem issues and conveyed through his relationship with April, and Leo's fear is conveyed through his responsibility as the leader and eldest brother.

Not to mention they were both tasked with being a mentor to someone and had to carry the weight of being responsible for them, and. . . whatever was happening between Donnie and Don Vizioso and Leo and Shredder.

It's Not Always the Rabbit Who Takes the Wrong Turn

Chapter 2: Two Leos, No Leo

Leo wakes up somewhere very familiar, and yet not. Meanwhile Donnie has a theory.

Word Count: 3477 ☆ Fandom: rottmnt ☆ Warnings: brief mention of wounds, nothing else ☆ AO3 Link: Here!! ☆ Previous Chapter: AO3 / Tumblr

 Leo wasn’t sure what was going, or why he was sleeping in such an uncomfortable place (his bed wasn’t like this). A buzzing sound of loud chatter filled the place too, which was the worst. He hardly could make up words.

 “It wasn’t me-”

 “-no –machine—”

 “I—clone—eo—”

 He knew those voices.

 “Then how—o Le—”

 Family, it was his brothers.

 It was them.

 His mind was slowly catching up with reality. As sounds became more and more clear, Leo’s memories of what had happened returned to him as well.

 “Please Casey—”

 “They all die!”

 “It isn’t about me.”

 Leo opened his eyes wide open, shooting up with the sudden worry. His family, he had to be sure they were okay. He had to see them.

 “L-leo! Slow down, you’ll hurt yourself!” He heard Raph before seeing him. There he was: big, strong, healthy. All good, just a few healing wounds. He looked all okay.

 “R-raph?” Leo asked, voice a bit weak.

 Raph examined him while he placed Leo back on the bed carefully. “Is it really... really you? Leo?”

 Leo had priorities though. “Are you okay?”

 “Wha- oh- yes I am good, but I need you to stop moving.” Raph said softly.

 “I—” Leo tried to move to look at him better, but the sudden pain made him gasp. He cursed under his breath, wincing.

 “The painkillers should kick in soon.” He sighed, clearly not happy seeing Leo like that.

 Geez, Krang must’ve hit him badly back on Technodrome. And when he was returning home. Eugh. At least his family knew the basics of healthcare, he was grateful for that. Talking about wounds and family... “How’s everyone? Dad, Donnie, Mikey, April? Casey Jr.?”

 “Everyone’s okay, see?” Raph smiled, albeit his worry was still readable on his face. He gestured to the space around them, and Leo followed his direction. To be honest he was surprised he hadn’t seen Donnie and Mikey before. They were behind Raph, looking at him. Leo couldn’t see any injuries, much to his relief.

 Except... those scars (or they were burns? They looked like lighting scars though...) on Mikey weren’t here before. He turned to Raph to ask, but then he noticed the healing wounds he had seen before were scars, fully healed.

 ...Had he slept that long?

 “Are you really Leo?” Mikey asked, distracting him. Beside Mikey, Donnie looked at him in a way that made Leo’s worries worse. It was that untrusting face, the suspicious one. Had something happened to Leo, like in Jupiter Jim’s New Adventures Vol. 7 where JJ’s appearance was altered? Oh, pizza supreme in the sky please no! He was the face man (and the leader, sadly), he couldn’t lose his good looks!

 Leo smiled at his brothers, not letting his thoughts spill out. “The one and only!”

 “Don’t be so sure about that, pal.” His voice said back. Leo turned towards the sound’s direction and saw his own face looking back at him.

 Leo stared at him, then turned back to look at his brothers. “Not to worry you guys, but I think I hit my head worse than I thought.” It was probably the concussion. Yeah.

 His brothers glanced at each other, nervous. Oh, they were worried. He didn’t miss how Raph glanced at the other Leo too.

 “Guys, I’ll be okay, no big deal.” Leo tried, but the pain wasn’t helping. Ugh, he really wanted to get over this and figure out what was wrong with his body right now. “It is just a few injuries—”

 “Shell cracked, wounds on right leg and also broken, rib damaged and a broken bone. A few minor wounds. The rest is nothing that won’t heal in a day or two.” His other self interrupted.

  Oh it talks too! How great. “I wasn’t talking to you, halluci-leon.” Leo huffed. “You’d expect yourself to understand that.”

 Other Leo rolled his eyes, “You’d expect the stranger doppelganger of yours connect the dots faster, but here we are.”

 “Leo! Be nice to yourself!” Mikey scolded.

 “He can handle a few jokes.”

 “You are seeing him too?” Leo turned his attention back to his brothers. Mikey nodded, so Leo asked the next logical thing: “Ooookay, what did Donnie do this time?”

 Donnie gasped, a bit dramatically in Leo’s opinion, “How dare you too! As if I’ve ever broken Papa’s rules.”

 Everyone in the medbay turned to him, various expressions of disbelief on their faces.

 “You all are terrible.” Donnie crossed his arms.

 “Love you back, Dee. Anyway,” Other Leo looked back to Leo, “I don’t think Donnie did something this time.”

 “Then what’s going on?”

 “We were hopping you’d tell us.” Other Leo said. “You’re not a Casey Junior case, are you?”

 “Uh, no.” Leo noticed the relieved breaths.

 “Are you a clone?” Donnie asked.

 “No.”

 “Are you a shapeshifting alien that fell from the sky via a meteor and is trying to trick us to eat us and then replace us with your kind?”

 “No. Mikey, what the heck?”

 “Okay, this doesn’t make any sense if you keep saying no.” Other Leo groaned.

 “It is not like I don’t want to help here.” Leo glared at him. He was as lost as they were, and it lowkey began making him feel rather anxious. “How about we try different questions?”

 “Good idea. Uh, what year is it for you?” Raph asked.

 Leo smiled. Big guy most likely had an idea. “2020.”

 “You know Casey Junior, so did the invasion happen?”

 “Kicked Krang butts, stopped it from happening.” It sounded so simple when he said it like that.

 “How long did it pass since that?”

 “Well, you see, I just got out of the Prison Dimension.”

 “YOU DID WHAT?!”

 “WHAT?!”

 “OMIGOSH.”

 Yelling and his other self looking at him in shock. This went on better than he expected.

 “How did... what...” He mumbled before taking a deep breath, “How did you get outta there?”

 “Portaled myself out...” Leo replied, a bit distracted by how everyone reacted. “Am I missing something? Like I get it, it was a dangerous decision and all that but this is not the reaction I was expecting.”

 “You are looking almost all fine, for the starters.” Other Leo said, “I wasn’t as good looking as you buddy. Congrats avoiding some punches, good for you!”

 “Not just that, but did you say you portaled yourself out?!” Raph gasped.

 “You didn’t even have the time to progress everything that happened to you!” Mikey exclaimed.

 Amongst the worried talking, Donnie interrupted. “Gentlemen, do you realize what does this mean?”

 “What?” Leo was going to handle the other information later.

 All eyes turned to Donnie. “Your portaling has malfuctioned and you ended up in the wrong timeline.” He explained.

 Leo blinked. Portaled myself to the wrong timeline?! “Are you sure about that?”

 “That’s the most likely theory I got.” Donnie confirmed. “We need to get on some details to confirm it though.”

 “Maybe Draxum or Junior can help too, right?” Mikey smiled.

 “If we ever need help, perhaps.” Donnie was still not fond of the idea of asking for help from Draxum, but this was a better answer than the ones they’d gotten in the past months.

 “At least that explains some things...” Other Leo sighed.

 Leo was glad for the answers, but unfortunately, the answers didn’t help his worries. Made them worse even. “I need to go back.” He tried to get up, but Raph stopped him.

 “You can’t until you heal properly.” He said softly.

 “Raph, I know you mean well, but I need to go back to my timeline.” To his timeline, and to his family. To his brothers and sister and father and friends, who were all beat up and probably mourning him.

 To his family, to the place he belonged.

 “I don’t think you can portal yourself back like this. You might end up hurting yourself worse.” Other Leo said. “Trust me, just stay like this for a week. With how Draxum created us, your bones will heal in no time. So will your shell. I am sure your ninpo needs healing too.”

 “My ninpo?”

 “Overuse of ninpo can be damaging.” Mikey informed.

 Leo wondered how did he know this. Or why.

 As if he read his mind, Mikey elaborated. “Casey Junior explained that in the future because of the overuse of ninpo his Mikey suffered a lot from side effects. Draxum agreed too.”

 “What sort of side effects?” Leo asked.

 “Wounds on body, damaging your ninpo extremely badly, aging faster...” Mikey began counting.

 “Aaaand that’s why I must run some tests on you.” Donnie interrupted, goggles on his eyes.

 Tests didn’t sound fun right now, “They better be quick.”

 “I don’t think you should worry.” Other Leo said. “Though that explains the wounds in your hands.”

 What wounds..? Leo turned to look at his hands, bandaged. He didn’t feel any pain, but it was probably the painkiller. Good to see it was starting to work. Then he looked at Mikey again. His arms, the strange wounds—

 “Are those scars from overuse of ninpo?” Leo was looking directly at Mikey.

 He avoided his eyes, “Yes.”

 “What happened?” Was it during the Krang attack? After? Did his Mikey get those wounds, or could he stop that?

 Silence.

 Now, that won’t do. He was wounded, tired, and confused. He wanted answers, and he was going to get them. “Okay. Since no one is talking I guess it was bad. Did that happen during the Krang invasion attempt?”

 Raph sighed, “Yes, it did. But I am not sure this is the right time to talk about this.”

 “No, it is! I need to know, so when I go back, I can help.”

 “I don’t think you can do that.” His other version said. “That happens while you’re in the prison dimension. Or rather, probably around the time you escaped or shortly after that. Donnie, correct me if I am wrong, but even if after a week he manages to portal himself back at the same time he left, there isn’t much of a chance he can stop it, right?”

 Donnie hummed, “I don’t think he can even manage to go back to the time he left. Though time is a tricky concept, and there are many theories, and—”

 “Alright, alright, I get it. Fine.” Leo was so not in the place to listen to detailed explanations of time and space. Not when his mind was getting more and more nervous. “So let’s say I can’t go back for a week like you said, I need to know. Post Krang, what happened? What have I caused to change?”

 Did I put anyone in danger again?

 They clearly didn’t want to talk about it. Couldn’t blame them. Leo wanted to forget that day too, but he couldn’t. Not when he didn’t know his family’s fate.

 Finally other Leo took a step forward, “I wasn’t able to keep my katanas. I got trapped in the Prison Dimension with... him.” Leo watched as other Leo stopped for a brief second. “I am not sure for how long, but until Mikey ripped space and time to save my butt.” He smiled towards his little brother, “Our mystic warrior, Raph, and Donnie got me out. Closed the portal. Raph had some scars, he and Donnie both had similar wounds to Mikey’s on an arm but it wasn’t anything too serious. Even Mikey’s healed pretty fast. Donnie was stubborn but Mikey told us about his shell, some wounds there, but it was all stuff they can do without us. Dad, April, Junior, they all were fine too.”

 Those were good news. No major injuries that they’d need his help. Good.

 “To be honest, it was me who was beat up badly. So in your timeline that does not happen.” Other Leo turned his attention back to Leo, “Like I said, lucky.”

 Leo cringed, “Eugh boi, glad I wasn’t you. No offense.”

 “None taken.”

 There was something Leo wasn’t telling him, but he didn’t want to dig into that. Not when his brothers were here. It could be something that should stay between Leos.

 “How’s the scan, Don?” Other Leo turned to his twin, who no longer wore his goggles.

 “I couldn’t find anything new.” Donnie replied.

 “Good! Then you can go back home right after you heal, but we should probably ask Draxum first.”

 Mikey was right, but that didn’t mean Leo was happy about that. He wasn’t fond of Draxum’s company as much as his twin. “Just make sure he does not throw me off the roof or the window or something.”

 “You are never gonna let it go, will you?” Raph asked, most likely tired of hearing the same thing again and again after almost two years of the event. Too bad for him, he was going to hear it for forever.

 Both Leos answered at the same time: “Nope!”

 Donnie glared at them, “There is two of them now. We are doomed.”

 Mikey’s face lit up with realization, “We still haven’t figured out how to call you, other Leo!”

 “Easy, Lameonardo.” Raph teased.

 “Come on Raph, you can do better than this.” Leo smirked.

 “I think other me deserves a great title, like World’s Greatest Ninja.” Other Leo joined.

 “We are so not calling any of you like that. Never.” Donnie glared.

 “How about something silly, like uhh Poptart?” Mikey suggested.

 “Poptart?” Leo repeated.

 “I am hungry.” Mikey shrugged. “How about uh- double marked Leo?”

 “Double marked?” Leo asked.

 “Because there are two Leos and that makes double marks!” Mikey grinned.

 “Sorry Mike, but that doesn’t make any sense at all. Maybe if he had some sort of extra markings then maybe it could work.” Other Leo replied.

 “What was the Spanish word... tio? Ah no...” Raph struggled to remember.

 Meanwhile, Leo cringed, “Please don’t call me tio, it literally means uncle.”

 “I was trying to find the word for brother.” Raph explained.

 “Hermano. But I dunno, not really a nickname.” Leo hummed.

 “You know, we could call you Neon.” Other Leo said. “Like... Neon Leon. But you’re the Neon and I am the Leon.”

 Leo smiled at him. Like the name he had chosen for the video game records. “That’s not bad, other me.”

 “Thank you other me.” Other Leo made a dramatic bow. No- Leon made a dramatic bow. Right.

 One week. He had to wait for a week, and then he could go home. He could do that. All he wished was that his family would wait for a week too. Just one week.

 Donnie had never felt like this before. He didn’t exactly know what this feeling was. Worry? Sadness? Anger? Desperation? Maybe it was all of them together.

 His dumdum twin had just sacrificed himself.

 Not only that, but his dumdum twin’s tracker didn’t work. Donnie couldn’t see his vitals or his location!

 "I don't understand!" Donnie kept staring at his screen. The lights representing his family shone brightly, except for blue. There was nothing blue on the screen. Nothing to prove Leo was back. Nothing to prove Leo was alright. "We saw him get into that portal. He must be somewhere, there is no possibility of the tracker not working."

 "Maybe while fighting against Krang it got broken or something." Mikey tried to reassure. 

 "Maybe." Donnie repeated. 

 "Well, if he isn't here then he must've portaled somewhere safe." Raph said, no longer upset about Donnie putting trackers on them. "Maybe Dad and April are luckier. Donnie, you keep trying to find him."

 Donnie nodded, determined eyes fixated on the screen and his hands tapping it without a break.

 As Raph was about to move, he heard the call coming from April. "Found him?"

 "No, so you didn't either." April's voice sounded worried.

 This didn’t make any sense. None of this made sense. Where the heck was Leo?!

 "He isn't here." Raph replied, trying to keep his anxiety under control.

 "But where he could've gone?" Mikey questioned.

 "He has some favorite places, doesn't he?" April said. "We can check them."

 "He wasn't in his best shape, he might have accidentally portaled himself to somewhere randomly like the old days." Raph agreed. 

 "I hope he didn't portal himself to Tahiti." Mikey sighed. "Not the worst place but…"

 "How about the Hidden City? Or Hueso's?" Raph guessed. "I don't think he's somewhere hard to reach. We just need to keep searching!"

 "You are right, my son. We must keep searching." Splinter's voice said softly.

 Raph smiled at Mikey, then at Donnie. That's when he noticed the concern on Donnie's face. "Donnie?"

 He didn't answer. Instead, he kept staring at the screen.

 "Donnie, are you okay? You're worrying me." Raph watched as Donnie took a deep breath. 

 Then he finally said, "He might have portaled home." 

 "What? We just searched the whole lair." Raph didn't understand.

 "We did. But our lair. Our timeline's. What if he didn't portal to our world. Then he would end up portaling into a different universe or timeline, and that would explain why I can't find him no matter what I do! Because even broken I'd get signals! I did the design and coding and everything, I know how it works!" 

 "Donnie, what are you talking about?" 

 "Remember how Casey came from a different timeline? This might have created an issue in time and space and with Leo's messy portaling the dum dum might have ended up in a whole different timeline." He told them. “Or maybe it is something about ninpo and the dumdum mystic stuff! I don’t know, but he has portaled somewhere out of this planet at least once! You saw that too. And that is exactly why there is a possibility he has done that or something similar again.” 

 Donnie had seen how Leo had opened a portal purely by accident and ended up getting them almost eaten by some sort of creature while trying to escape from Stockboy’s plan. They had spent nights talking about how far he could portal. This should be the answer.

 Because any other answer would mean there was something worse happening. Donnie refused to believe anything worse was happening.

 Raph and Mikey looked at him, both looked even more worried now.

 “If it is really that… Then what will we do?” Mikey asked.

 “We keep searching,” Raph said. “But in case Donnie is right, we must prepare for that. What do you need, Donnie?”

 Donnie thought for a second. “I need to start doing some research and gain some information. I already had a plan for a dimension travel machine, but we need to be sure Leo is not here. Also it would be great if there is any more information I can gain about his mystic powers…”

 “I’ll try to reach Draxum.” Mikey announced.

 Donnie was relieved, “Thanks Angelo.” He really really didn’t want to ask for help from the yokai. 

 “Boys, I know it is hard but now I want you to stay there and treat your wounds.” Their dad said after a deep breath. “April, Future Boy and I can keep searching.”

 “But—”

 “Raphael,” Splinter interrupted again. “We will find him, but I cannot lose any of you too.”

 Raph seemed to be still upset, but he sighed and gave up fighting against Splinter. “Okay. We will join you as soon as we can.” He nodded to himself.

 Donnie glared at Raph. How could he give up so fast? Leo might need them! They didn’t know how much time they had! What if he was hurt? What if he needed them? What if they were losing time—

 “Donnie?”

 Donnie looked at Raph.

 “Are you okay?” He asked, genuinely worried. Again.

 “We must keep searching. Or at least try to gain more information.” Donnie said.

 “We will, but first we must treat our wounds. Dad’s right about that.”

 “And what if he is in the need of our help? What if he right now needs us?” Donnie retorted, voice a bit loud.

 “We can’t help him if our wounds get infected.” Raph pointed out. “If anything happens to us, we can’t help him.”

 “We can try and communicate with Draxum meanwhile.” Mikey said gently.

 “We will go back into searching right after taking care of our wounds, okay?” Raph reassured. “I am worried too, so the faster we get this done, the better.”

 He was right, and as Mikey said the time they would use to treat their wounds wouldn’t be fully wasted if they managed to reach Draxum. “Okay.”

 “Good. That’s a plan. Now, to the medbay.” Raph led them.

 Donnie slowly followed, trusting Raph’s words.

 That was a plan. A plan so they’d find him. Donnie knew they would. Because none of them would ever stop till they did. After all, they had hope.

Last one for this set! It's my OC Keagan! Now this guy presented another challenge: hands. Because this style is supposed to keep line art to a minimum, I had to rely on shading to get his fingers detailed out. And of course, that spiky hair. It was tricky to figure out how it works. I need to map out his hair flow before I could render uuuugh.

Introducing the reverse world's closest thing to a Ladyblogger, Keagan Gerald Aurelio-Ashworth! Much like Reverse!Alya, he gets an undershave... and that's pretty much it. I guess the gold accessories and the sunglasses could be taken as a stronger referrence to Chloe as being the rich mayor's son has more emphasis in this AU. He's not exactly based on anyone from canon when he's like this, his design is based on making him as opposite to his og design as possible with very mild referrences to akumas and his og akuma form, Scorch, embracing the power the butterfly grants him rather than being averse to it. He's not exactly a reporter, he hangs around the upper echelons of society hence the semi-formal design instead of his og counterpart's more down to earth casual wear. Next to Fiona, he's like the second most altered compared to how he normally looks.

Why is he like this?

The short answer, it's cause the Supreme has his family under their thumb.

It started with a bad deal, his uncle died trying to dig their family out of it, his aunt Lorelei and cousin Leo ran off, and being overprotective with what family he had left, Mayor Julio Aurelio had Keagan locked up in their castle for his safety... And now what's left of the Aurelio-Ashworth Family are stuck under the Supreme's thumb. They're a political puppet and a goldmine rolled into one.

Keagan is not the sort to keep his head down. He's aware of what's happening, try as his family might to hide it from him. He still developed his hacking skills and had eyes and ears everywhere. He knows how fucked they are. For the longest time, Keagan felt so untrusting of everyone new... Never know if one of those people are under the Supreme's influence. He's heard they're eyeing him and his elder sister for their potential in wielding a Miraculous, and he's seen what happens to underage wielders after a while. Their life expectancies aren't that great, but that's why they use kids for it. They're easier to control. Sooner or later, it'll be Keagan's turn. Try as he might to find a way out, he couldn't find any. The most he could do was disrupt whatever dealings he could find - honestly, he doesn't want the same thing that happened to his family happen to anyone else. He was a minor annoyance at best. For the longest time, he felt trapped.

Then one day, his cousin reached out to him through a butterfly that landed on his watch. He wants him to join the Resistance as an insider. Through butterflies, Keagan can relay what he learns of the Supreme and in emergencies, they can either give him the power to transform or call out for a hero to save him. All he has to do is continue to play the fool and keep his ears up. His cousin heard his rep, the hedonistic party prince. While it wasn't a complete lie, he fools around to forget he's in deep shit, it wasn't the quite true either. It was the easiest way for him to be as disruptive as possible. But now, with his cousin as his life line, Keagan went from a minor annoyance to a potential back door for the Resistance. There's finally some hope he can pull him and his family out from under the Supreme's thumb.

Eventually, he met her.

He didn't think much of her at first, just another rich girl from new money. She's pretty fairy tale princess cute, he'd give her that. Her father was desperately trying to climb the social ladder... And was gonna fall for the Supreme's scam. As expected, they were hella annoyed with his interruptions but what else could he do to save them? Keagan knows this isn't necessary, when there's more effective ways to put a middle finger up at the Supreme, but he can't help it. Keagan just had to save them, even if neither of them would see it that way.

The girl was persistent. To Keagan's genuine surprise, she wasn't chasing him cause she's mad at him, she was following him to warn him that the Supreme goons are gonna mess with him for disrupting one too many deals that night. Aww. He's touched. Really. That's why he was covering her head with his jacket so the Supreme wouldn't target her too. He hopes his cousin heard all that and sends someone to save their butts.

That night was also the first night he properly met the Resistance. To his surprise, his aunt Lorelei decided to let the girl be the new Ladybug. If anyone asked him, he wasn't too thrilled about it. This girl had nothing to do with the Supreme nor the Resistance. She could've been free... much like he wished he was. Yet she chose to wear the earrings.

Contrary to his expectations, this is where the girl truly blossomed. The pretty princess turned out to be more of a knight in shining armor. Maybe she could save him.

au where Alabaster and Ethan were apart of the prophecy in HoO

Alabaster saves Ethan after he falls from Olympus but they get into an argument over their faiths(Al still wanting revenge against the gods and Ethan wanting to go back to the only place he can still call home)

Alabaster is exiled, Ethan is accepted into CHB as the Nemesis counselor.

The prophecy is issued (altered, obviously but idk how) There's a line referencing "The redeemed" (Ethan) and "The banished" (Alabaster). Honestly idk where it'd fit into the prophecy but eh.

My brain was thinking 'The banished and the redeemed unite' or something but again, don't know where in the prophecy that fits

The rest of the crew can't figure out who the banished is, Ethans first thought is Alabaster but a) Al wasn't the only banished ex-TA b) He doesn't know where tf he is and c) He doesn't even know if Alabaster is alive, much less willing to help them. So he stays quiet.

Meanwhile, Hecate, like she had with Claymore, invites Hazel into her house while shes asleep. Hazel and Alabaster talk, get to know each other and all that stuff. Alabaster doesn't mention he was a camper at CHB nor that he was exiled

Argo II shows up, attacks and all that fun stuff. The next day, Hazel recalls the dream she had, telling them about Alabaster in vague detail. Eventually she finds out ab Alabasters banishment, tells the crew and Ethan confirms that Alabaster fits the prophecy. But, he doesn't know where Alabaster is nor if he'd be willing to help.

Apparently though, they don't have to worry about that part. While shadow-traveling, Alabaster is thrown off course and ends up on the Argo II. He tries to leave but finds that hes unable to. Later he finds that his mother was the one keeping him on board, he needed to help in the prophecy.

Al is obviously less than pleased to be working alongside CHBs demigods. The only people he really talks to is Hazel(underworld child solidarity, also he knew her prior to being thrown on the ship) and Claymore(who Hecate graciously made sure was with her son)

Meanwhile, Ethan's desperately trying to do damage control with Alabaster snapping at Percy whenever he can and Percy being both confused and having absolutely none of it. (Al would 100% make jabs about the Princess Andromeda because he is livid about it)

There's a weird tension between the former TA boys because neither of them want to talk about the fact that the last time they spoke prior to the boat they were literally screaming at each other in an alleyway after the war.

Eventually though, Ethan gets fed up and goes to Alabasters room and forces him to talk ab the shit. Al is less snappy after that, still snipes at Percy tho

Ethan joins Hazel and Leo when they meet Nemesis Al joins Hazel when she meets Hecate and he helps her with Mist control shit Al also joins Hazel and Jason during that Sciron situation Ethan and Al defending Nico during that jar convo because they know what it's like to be untrusted and abandoned Ethan and Al practically adopting Hazel and Nico Rocky Percy and Al friendship !! LOU ELLEN AND AL REUINION !! Ethan being all the younger former TA members big brother

MORE ABT MY HTTYD AU >:D

Just to recap/finalize:

Raph:

• A stormcutter

• Protective, one of the main alphas in the nest (Donnie is the other)

• The third to accept MC as part of the nest

• Is twice the size of normal stormcutters

• His role as alpha is more to protect then provide

Donnie:

• Razorwhip

• Analytical, the first, and the one who brings MC to the nest

• He’s missing a large portion of his tail and has extremely soft scales due to a birth defect, he wears armor made out of other razorwhip shedding

• He provides as an alpha and prefers to provide rather than protect. He goes and steals from islands until MC comes along and shows them FISH.

Leo:

• A Death Song

• when AU properly starts (HTTYD 2) he STILL doesn’t trust MC

• Missing a horn and his tail fin is torn up

• Helps keep the nest calm, the balancer of the scale

Mikey:

• a hobblegrunt!!

• the second to properly trust MC

• blind, highly dependent on his brothers and MC

• dragon empath <3

The Nest:

In all honesty, I was having issues imagining the nest. My mind kept flip flopping from a scary inactive volcano like the Queens nest from the first movie, or a lush paradise from the second. I eventually settled on how New Berk looks from the third movie. The island itself is completely surrounded by tall rocks and deep forests that scare any Vikings away. Not to mention the constant dragon calls that echo out from anywhere. The deeper you walk the scarier it gets before finally…it comes to a lush paradise

Side Characters (still Hamato family, just not the brothers)/New Things:

Splinter:

Monsterus Nightmare <3

You gonna have to hear me out: Monsterus Nightmares are shown to be lazy but can kick ass

He’s more of a grandpa resting dragon, he rarely intervenes and trusts his sons to lead the nest

LOVES MC, especially when MC started to clean off his old shed and spend time with him

April:

Deadly Nader

From the show: “ The Deadly Nadder. Piercing spines, loyal, powerful...” “ Intelligent, and, of course, deadly."

Untrusting of MC but growing closer to them after seeing them try to treat all the bros with kindness

One of the main guards and hunters for the nest, she used to scout before getting injured by a Viking and having her wing torn

Cassandra:

Night fury (yes I did use a picture of toothless)

I immediately knew what to do for her, it’s just a gut feeling

Cassandra is the main guard for the nest, she’s larger then normal night furies

She doesn’t trust MC at all but respects MC because the Alphas say to

Casey Jr:

Night light

I feel like he’d still be an egg when MC is introduced

I’ve messed with the timeline a bit so Cass has him when they’re all still younger (it’d make sense because they’re dragons <3)

He trusts MC and constantly is sneaking away from the nest, all the other dragon young following him

Draxum:

Screaming Death

He was brought into the nest by Mikey after he got lost in the woods

In this AU he isn’t related to the bros (neither is splinter, they’re all adopted. that isn’t a excuse don’t be gross guys)

Literally hates MC, tried to eat them, 0/10

Gargoyles:

Night Terrors!!!

They’re so silly

Trusts MC with their lives

Hunts for Draxum

i fucking hate mobile Tumblr so I’ll post a picture of Night Terrors in the comments <3

When this au takes place:

So in the canon, it’d start at the beginning of the first movie, the entire first movie MC is at the nest and just trying to get comfortable. The second movie is when MC really takes an active role, during the Netflix shows timeline MC meets Valka and bonds over their nests. Valka calls MC for help during the second movie, causing MC to lose the nest and the boys. MC helps Berk move but when Hiccup told them to let the dragons go they refused and took the nest and left. Saying that Hiccup should never have asked that and they will aid Berk when they fail due to their loss (rough draft but the majority of the AU happens during the second movie)

[raphieeee]

Plural Raph or the ‘voices’ I think he would have

Red:

He/Him

The first to present and most common to speak up:

Animal instinct. The parts of him that focus on self preservation in both a defensive sense and a self caring sense, as in eating, sleeping and drinking. Leo says he sounds like the ‘mother hen’ parts of Raph (he doesn’t mention how that’s one of his favourite parts of his brother.)

Rose:

They/Them

The second one to present, much more quiet and picky about when they choice to speak:

The softer, more pushed down parts of himself. Named Rose for their softness as they are the most worried one and care greatly for Raph to the point of being extremely untrusting and while they love their brothers, they seem to have no trust for humans and surprisingly Splinter. Raph suspects it’s because Rose also holds the parts of him that knows that Splinter is not fit to be both father and Sensei.

Ruby:

The third to present:

They/He

They tend to show the more Ninja like part of himself. The thoughts of honor and mercy as well as effectiveness and cruelty, the parts that wish to meditate on things or to train when in a state of unrest. Being much more blunt, Ruby only really cares for the others as team members who can be of assistance and not as family, often wishing to leave them behind to finish their mission. Raph finds that despite being so much about ninjitsu, there’s a lot of contradiction as they are not fully comprehending the core values.

Rage:

She/Her

Raph isn’t actually sure if Rage is the fourth or not, she feels like she has always been there. He isn’t sure why she feels like a woman despite the others either being genderless or male, he thinks it might be because he isn’t allowed to feel rage so it feels alien, like a feminine presence in his life. She is often quiet, but always somewhat present. When she does speak it’s fills his mind and shuts everything else out, often making him feel sick and floaty, like he’s not real yet also the only thing left in the universe. Rage is the part of him that feels injustice, like fighting and running all at once. He sees her as his protector when he gets too scared to do it himself. He knows his family can do that too, but it’s different when it’s saving himself.

(If anyone who is a system or plural is upset by this please let me know and I’ll either fix it or just take it down.)

Leo x Jumpy!Feline Yokai!Reader

Warnings: Leo having more rizz than anyone on the god damn planet

—-

I KNOW I KNOW BUT HEAR ME OUT.

Imagine. 

Ivy covered walls, the fresh smell of coffee, the constant, sluggish faces of regulars and newcomers alike, the clear windows and fresh air coming in— well, as fresh as you could get in the hidden city. 

This, was peace, only interrupted by the occasional jingle of a bell, gently letting you know that a new customer had walked in. This was what you loved about life, being able to sit back and just enjoy your own company without feeling lonely. When you could forget all that made you anxious. 

As a feline, you always had a certain jumpiness about you. Call it instinct.. call it trauma.. whatever it was, it seemed even the slightest sounds could set you off— like someone pushing on the pull door or sneaking up behind you. You weren’t exactly quick to trust, being how much you were put down and infantilized, but here, nobody could tell how much noise got to you. Here, there was peace, calm, relaxation. And nothing could take that away. Or… so you thought. 

BAM!!

Jumping 5 feet into the air, you felt hot liquid seep into your apron, passing the uniform you were wearing and burning into your fur. You hissed in pain— holding for dear life to the kettle in your hand as you slammed it on the counter. Commotion? At this hour? Did they have any idea what time it was!? You were used to the occasional angry customer, but usually your coworkers handled it! Now there was coffee all over you, and the sound of arguing echoing in your ears. It was hard not to glare at the customers that had walked in— four, or — three?? You couldn’t tell what they were arguing about, it was hard to tell with the anger bubbling in your veins. They nearly gave you a heart attack!!! And they were still yelling!? 

Trying to keep your composure, you smoothed down your ears and hair, and all but threw your apron off of you. This was your first time working a shift all by yourself, you were not about to blow your top! 

“Ahem-!” You cleared your throat, staring down the intruders as they all turned to you. Now that your vision wasn’t as bleary, you could see the culprits a little clearer. An odd bunch they were, all clad in bandanas of different colors. Red, blue, orange, and purple, respectively. They all seemed to match in different ways, and the thought suddenly occurred to you that you may have just ‘ahem’ed at a biker gang. 

“I’m not bailing you guys outta this one.” The smallest stated, folding his arms and looking away from the others. 

“Ah- “ The largest - with a red bandana - chirped, shifting under your gaze, “I- haha- I’m so sorry Mx, my brother surely didn’t MEAN to KICK your door open.” He chuckled nervously, then turned to death glare at his brother in blue - who you assumed to be the culprit. “Looks like you have been caught Blue-handed my fine glass breaker.” Purple laughed, leaning into his staff… was he always carrying that?? Was it a weapon of some kind?? Nevermind— unimportant. 

‘Blue’ rolled his eyes at their comments, but seemed to relent. “okay fine, I kicked it a little harder than I thought.” He turned away, folding his arms. 

As you looked closer, they all had weapons. Tonfas, some sort of mace, swords… the works! And they looked pretty beat up too — possibly from mugging someone in an alleyway… you felt sweat bead on your brow, but you shook your untrusting thoughts away, motioning to the four seats at your bar. “Where uh—“ the largest went to spoke again, but you motioned to the menu on the wall, knowing what his question was. “Not much of a talker, huh?” Blue chided snarkily, a smirk replacing the embarrassment he had earlier. 

“I wouldn’t wanna talk to someone who had busted down MY door either!!” Red scolded, and it hit you that he was probably the one yelling earlier. “Seriously, there’s a time and place for your flashy nonsense.” He huffed, folding his arms. “Hey, I was the one who suggested the cafe in the first place!” Blue combatted, hands out in exasperation, “We’re all tired from hustling Baron, so how about you take a chill pill, huh?” The smile he put on only made your blood boil hotter, your ear twitching as you decided to tune out the two’s argument.

Sidling over to where the other two had sat down, Purple and orange both looked like they were also trying to ignore their bickering brothers. You held up your notepad, giving the two a soft smile, “what can I get for you?” 

The smaller one jumped in his seat with excitement, ordering a grilled cheese with a peppermint mocha. His companion in violet spoke with elaborate words that were hard to understand , but you made out that he wanted a tall coffee, dark, with one sugar. “Right away, mr…?” You quirked a brow, and Purple seemed to jump at the opportunity, “Donatello, a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” He beamed proudly at his introduction, forgetting to offer his hand. 

“And I’m Mikey!” the shorter one said, a bright smile still on his face as he shook your hand. 

You returned the smile, “a pleasure.” 

Making your way to the other side of the bar, you noticed the other brothers had ceased their quarrel, bringing relief to your system.. as well as an idea. 

No.. no it was too petty… or.. was it..? 

Holding up your notebook, your eyes shifted on Red, wordlessly demanding his order first. The turtle seemed to stumble, glancing at the menu several times and swallowing his anxiety. To a degree you could empathize with him, but you had to let this play out. 

“I’ll get uh.. Um er a.. “ he fiddled with the ends of his bandana, feeling the stare of his unimpressed brother in blue - who, surprisingly, didn’t interrupt. 

“A tall cinnamon apple coffee please, and a — a lemon square.” He gave a weak chuckle, and sighed with relief. 

As Blue opened his mouth to order, you promptly turned on your heel, already at your station setting up the coffee machine. You heard sounds of shock and snorts from behind you, but had to hold in your own chuckles. “Uh… hellloooo..?” Blue called, “I didn’t .. order..?” At his attempt to get your attention, you could hear his brothers start to snicker more, along with a few ‘shut up!’s and ‘cut it out!’s.

With a satisfied smirk on your face, you set the food of the others down near them, and then turned to leave. “Wah— hey!!” Blue called, and this time, you stopped in the doorway. “Hmm??” You glanced over your shoulder, making sure you seemed unsuspecting. “What’s with the cold shoulder?” He half laughed, “are you just not gonna take my order?” 

This time you couldn’t help the chuckle that left you, “oh, I’m so sorry, sir.” You lifted a hand, miming cleaning out your ear, “I guess I’m a little hard of hearing to people who slam my door open.” You mirrored the smirk he had given you earlier, purring quietly at your victory.

His brothers all but exploded. Laughter, teasing, you name it — blue was in for it now. Giving a strangled smile, he made a sort of ‘guiii..’ noise, avoiding your eyes. Truth be told, he had seen you jump when the door opened. Sure, he felt bad about it!! But admit that in front of his brothers?? You were basically giving him the death penalty!! “Look, uh, “ he tried his best to play it off, “I think we got off on the wrong foot..” 

“You mean kick?” You slipped in immediately, quirking a brow. 

Blue stared at you for a second, before his eyes widened, a smile spreading on his face before an unmistakable “pFF—“ left his mouth, riling up to actual laughter. He was laughing!? At your joke!? Your half-assed joke that was supposed to make him uncomfortable!??

“Where’d you get wit like that?” He leaned forward in his chair, oblivious to the way his brothers rolled their eyes, no longer interested. (Other than Mikey, who would occasionally glance at you two.) 

Unfortunately for you, his eyes sparkled intently, waiting for your answer with a joy in his eyes that you couldn’t place. “Uh..” your ears twitched, hearing a sound that was similar to a purr, and yet entirely different- and from him? Could turtles purr? Were you hallucinating? At the twitch of your tail, you flicked those curiosities away, keen on giving him a quick response. “Why? Did yours run dry?”

“Me? Dry?” He laughed deeply, “You don’t know how wrong you are..” he shook his head knowingly, outstretching a hand, “Leo. Leonardo.” He grinned, and, as you took his hand, he pulled you in close, “and I’ll have an iced caramel macchiato.” He clicked his tongue and winked, his smile wide as if he knew he’d won. “ Shouldn’t be hard for someone like you, Y/N.” 

Heat rose in your chest as he let you go, feeling your hair stand on end. It wasn’t unnatural for someone to read from your nametag, but hearing it like that somehow gave you chills, and you couldnt even begin to wonder why. You coughed, seeing Mikey’s shocked face in your peripheral, “Iced, huh?” You regained composure, turning back to Leonardo as if you had never gotten flustered, “isn’t it a little cold outside?“ you went back to make his coffee, trying to ignore the way your head had spun at his touch. 

“You know where it’s also cold?” Leo sighed, leaning back in his chair, “Run of the mill, 8:00 pm tomorrow evening.” The sound of the coffee machine nearly covered his chuckle, “I hear it’s supposed to be frigid~” 

..

He did not. 

“Really?” The sound of the coffee machine simmered down, allowing you to set up the drink with ease. Setting it in front of him, you gave him a small smile.

“Guess I’ll have to check it out.”

Name: Hoshi Hinata (日向 星). Age: 5. Parents: Hajime Hinata and Nagito Komaeda. Gender: Male. (Possible) Ultimate Title: Unknown. Birthdate: August 7 (Leo). Height: 112 cm. Weight: 8 kg. Chest Size: 43 cm. Blood Type: A. Likes: Mochis, nature. Dislikes: Untrustful people.

In a world where circumstances ended up making Hajime Hinata and Nagito Komaeda have a kid, Hoshi was born. Having inherited almost everything (Both in appearance and personality) from his brown-haired dad, he's much more closer to Hajime than Nagito, having a more tense relationship with the latter, for reasons that he doesn't wants to admit.

Thanks to the experiments Hajime was put through to make him the "Ultimate Hope", the people around him argue if, somehow, at least one of the vast array of talents ended up being inherited by Hoshi, a question that also is in the kid's mind, driving him into trying everything he can, to see if he truly was "destined" into becoming a "gifted son".

part of the gagliardi clan.

his parents told fortunes and were part of a traveling carnival, which meant that leo was always traveling.

he didn't inherit any abilities from his parents, which kind of gave him a little bit of a complex of feeling inferior.

he has a little bit of a commitment issue, probably from traveling so much as a kid.

he always felt like his siblings all had these special skills and then there was just him. he doesn't really consider himself good at anything, besides maybe gambling. and even with that, he's messed it up.

leo owes some people a lot of money but that's something he hasn't really come to terms with just yet.

he's been in colorado for about five years now, and previously moved around every few years, cause he just didn't want to stay in one place for too long. he's decided to stay in denver because a lot of his siblings are also here and he's just tired of moving.
