Sleepover at April’s ft. Sunita and Cassandra.
1k Words : Masterlist
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Worn shoes beat against old stairs. Climbing them has become a second nature to her. The hallway of the second floor wasn’t dim, but not harshly lit either. Though there was this one light that constantly flickered. Always some strange rhythmic pattern. She continued on, passing door after door while she counted the numbers as they went by.
213, 214, 215, 216, 217, 21- she stopped immediately, backtracking to apartment 216. giggling to herself and readjusting her backpack. Raising her fist she knocked on the wooden door. There was faint talking coming from deep in the apartment. Then there were footsteps approaching and the door opened.
“Oh! I’m happy you could make it, honey. April, Sunita, and Casey are in the living room waiting for you. I’m just about to head out, so do take care of the apartment.” She loved April’s mom, most everyone did. She treated all of April's friends like her own kids. The older woman followed after her to the living room and gave April a quick peck on the forehead. All four girls waved goodbye as April’s mom left for work. A late call in. Not that April ever minded, nor the three other girls. Who turned to the latest arrival.
“Soooo, what snacks ya get?” Casey was the first one to speak up. Casey leaned in close as she plopped on the floor. Pulling the bag from behind after she sat and unzipped it.
“I went and raided the nearest convenience store.” She flipped over her bag and various kinds of chips, candies, and other goodies fell out of it.
“And-“ she flipped the bag right side up, unzipping the front pocket. Shoving her hand in and pulling out a few extra bags of popcorn.
“I came prepared.”
“You are a lifesaver! I completely forgot to grab extras.” April laughed, she had been very busy with setting up for their monthly girls night.
She smiles big, passing things out, everyone has their tastes and when plain popcorn is made it goes by quickly. They all began setting up for the night, blankets, pillows, foods, movies, and other activities.
They talked as they did. Casey talking about her life after leaving the foot, she was trying out for hockey again. Reminiscing over her childhood team. Sunita talks about her new job on the surface and her work with integrating Mutants, Yōkai, and Humans. April mentioned more of the integration project as well as the work she does now as a news journalist. The later arrival intrigued, asked questions and eventually updated about her own life.
The chatter quieted as the group got settled. April sorted through the movies as they decided which one to watch first. She had grabbed five, a few favorites, a musical and three newly released movies. Each with their own tastes, but eventually they all decided on Howl’s Moving Castle. Sure they’ve watched it hundreds of times but it was good! With them in agreement they fully settled into their spots and started the movie.
a decent portion of the movie had passed when Casey started dozing off. Sunita noticed her first, grabbing a nearby pillow and whacking her on the head. Casey jumped up.
“You started it.” Casey snatched a pillow and threw it at Sunita, but she missed and it hit April in the back of the head. Name remained oblivious to the pillow fight stirring as she was engrossed in the movie. Until a stray pillow hit her in the back of her head. To which she turned and looked at the scene. April pillowless, Casey with a pillow in hand bonking Sunita who’s pillow lay in her grasp below Casey.
Name turned to face them. Before grabbing a pillow as it went flying. The pillow fight continued with pillows flying, giggles and laughter, and light hearted shrikes as the group of girls lost track of the movie.
That was till a knock at the door sounded and all four of them froze.
“The pizza!” April scrambled up rushing to the door. The other three settled and tidied up just a smidge. They turned as April closed the door with her foot and headed to the kitchen. Everyone followed after her, talking and helping her set up. Grabbing slices and then leaving the leftovers of pizzas in the oven for April’s mom once she returned.
Everyone returned to their seats, munching on pizza as the movie continued. Each time starting up a new one, followed by chatting and jokes and the occasional person getting up for another slice. Cracking open the bags of chips, candies, and other goodies occurred throughout the night. Once April went to the kitchen and came back with four tubs of icecream.
Maybe stopping to play a game or do another little activity together before eventually returning to a new movie. This went on for hours.
The movies ended, games and food put away. Pillows and blankets readjusted. Everyone was readying for bed. Doing a quick thing of skincare, helping with hair and everything else needed.
All of them were quick to doze off, tired and exhausted from their previous ventures. it quickly became quiet and the room filled with sleeping kids. Mayhem curled up by April like an actual cat would do.
They all whispered good night to each other and some managed to fall asleep faster than others, while some quickly scrolled on their phone to fall asleep. They too eventually fell asleep.
It was late- or well early in the morning when Mrs. O’Neil returned home. Tired from work and relieved to not hear any screams from the apartment. Opening the door to find all four girls passed out line a light. Their weird dog thing curled up by April. She smiled and quietly stepped into the kitchen, seeing the note about the leftover pizza. Getting herself a quick two slices before turning back to the four girls laying dead asleep. Missing April’s forehead and giving them all a quietly whispered goodnight.

That Color Looks Good on You
| First | Next | Previous |
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Pairing: rottmnt x gn!reader
Warnings: Mild swearing
Summery: You show off your new lipstick to your favorite dork, Leo. After a series of events, you and Leo come up with a plot for a perfect prank. You’ll ambush every one of his siblings and smother them in kisses with your new lipstick all the while Leo films the whole thing. Let the Shenanigans Commence!
Author’s Note: I originally came up with this as a Leo x Reader. But the way the story progressed, it can be read as any rottmnt x reader as well as either romantic, platonic, or familial. The same can be said for the gender. I was putting on my own lipstick when I thought up this scenario and I thought ANYONE CAN WEAR LIPSTICK!!! So gender neutral it is! Writing in the 2nd person made it easy too.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Part 1: Neon Leon
Tumblr media
You are excited about your new lipstick.
Berry pink.
Not too light. A deep shade without it being too dark.
Putting on the final touches, you admire yourself in your bathroom mirror. It made you feel strong, confident, Dazzling!
“Whadda ya think?”
You strike a pose in your bedroom doorframe, framing your face with your hands. You have returned from your shopping trip and eager to show off your spontaneous purchase. Your favorite mutant turtle ninja lounges on your bed with his snout deep in the newest issue of Jupiter Jim: New Universe H2G2. Not only is he claiming your space as his own… he’s out right ignoring you.
Leonardo Hamato. Your other half, partner in crime, bestie, your first mate. Although Leo would beg a differ on that last part, claiming that since he’s the only one with pirate experience that you would be HIS first mate.
Eeeehhh… Tomato Tomahto.
The point being that you and your Neon Leon give April and Donnie the run for their money for the ‘Besties Awards’.
You deadpan at him. At this point in time, you’re thinking about accepting new applications for the Bestie role.
Meanwhile, that said comic (that is apparently Soooo much more interesting than you) was the purpose of your errand. A favor for him for it was sold out online and the one comic shop that still had it in stock was for pick up only. Donnie had gotten caught up in his newest project, something about a portal device to alternate realities, alternate selves, (other Mad Sciencey stuff) and Apparently forgot to preorder the damn thing. That particular shop just happens to be down the block from your apartment as well as you are the ‘bestest-most-awesome-supreme-person-ever-and-he-loves-you-sosososo-much’.
So much for being the ‘bestest most awesome supreme-’ so on and so forth.
With a huff, you pick up a hoodie you left on the floor, balled it up, and chucked right into Leo’s head. With a ‘THWUMPH’ and ‘hurmf ’, you pounce on him, snatching his comic from his grasp (carefully for you just bought the damn thing), setting it to the side during which you grab your pillow and whack his still covered head.
“I was joking!” He cries out as you laugh maniacally. “I heard you I heard you!”
Fully satisfied with his punishment, you stand up and plop to the side all the while you let him get his bearings. Leo finally frees himself from your shirt and throws it back on to the floor simultaneously sticking his tongue out at you.
Such a drama queen.
You roll your eyes and return the gesture whilst you adjust yourself to sit facing your Leo with him doing the same, finally takes in your lips.
“I like it.” He nods approvingly, “Muy Bien!”
You grin so big your checks begin to ache. But then you notice your turtle going quiet, grabbing his chin as he goes deep in thought.
“You’ll hurt yourself if you keeps that up.”
You know to well how clever he is but that doesn’t mean you won’t give him a ration of shit. It’s in your job description.
It’s Leo’s turn to roll his eyes.
“I was just thinking on about how it would look on me.”
You lean back on your hands and squint at his face for a moment. You then pull out your lipstick form your pocket to hold the color bottom sticker up to him.
“Hmmm I don’t know… I think something more of a red shade would be better for you. You know, to match your moons.”
You love those moons.
“Are you kidding?!” The Bratticus Maximus snatches it out of your hand, “I can totally pull this off!”
You gasp and quickly reach for it back, but Leonardo (being a stupid fucking turtle ninja) easily keeps it out of your reach. Keeping you at bay by smooshing his hand against you cheek.
Where’s the respect?
Then a wicked idea creeps into your mind. You drop your arms and let them hang for a moment causing Leo to pause. You switch your effort. Grabbing his wrist, subsequently tearing it off your face. You then yank him towards you, pulling his face close to yours.
“Well then let’s try it out shall we?”
You lean in, planting a firm kiss to his cheek with an exaggerated ‘MWAH’ .
You take in his face for a moment as he gapes at you.
“Hmm I can’t tell, I need a larger sample size.”
A mischievous grin spreads across your face and in turn Leo balks. He’s on to you. You both are on the same wave length. Even though it isn’t possible, everyone swears you two can Mind Meld together. He goes to shove you with his free hand but you catch that wrist as well, leaving him open.
You attack.
Smooching all over his face, leaving kiss marks in your wake. He cries out as you leave no spot uncovered.
You fall back and admire you work while your dear slider sits there stunned
“I guess I was wrong,” you release him, “That color does look good on you.”
Leo bolts up and dashes to your bathroom to assess the extent of the damage during which you almost fall to the floor cackling.
You await his return, biting your lip, trying to stifle your giggles. However, you fail when he appears back in your doorway.
There Leo’s tries to put on his best sulk (adorable really), crossing his arms as you devolve to wheezing. But who’s he kidding. You got him good. Plus watching you turn blue in the face and on the verge of passing out is pretty hilarious in on it self.
He returns to your bathroom and you're able to gather yourself enough to follow. He give you his signature smirk once he sees you in the mirror where upon poses with his finger and thumb in the L position to under his chin.
“I told you a could pull it off .” His smugness oozing off of him as he looks over himself again. You swear you saw sparkles.
You’re finally able to get yourself under control and you meet his gaze in the mirror as you come up from behind him.
“Yeah ya did stud muffin.” You shoot him a wink. “That’s a good look on you.”
A furious blush blooms across your favorite blue boy’s face to which he responds by bumping his hips against yours as you pull up next to him. In turn, you bump back, pushing him over to make room for you in the mirror.
Chuckles are shared and you lean towards the mirror to reapply your lipstick.
There’s a moment of comfortable silence as you focus on the task at hand while Leo watches you. You and him share glances between each other through the mirror when a plot begins to form. Your shared glances become knowing ones. Insouciantly, you turn to face each other, Leo crossing his arms as you lean against the counter.
Your wicked grin returns to which the leader in blue bares one to match.
Once again, evidence that supports the conspiracy that both you can Mind Meld.
“Sooo…?”
“Sooooo…?
“We should show my brothers how good I look.”
“They’ll be sooooo jelly. We should totally include them so they don’t feel left out.”
Nonchalance is evident in your voices as you converse.
Leo reaches into his pouch to pull out his phone, his brows bounce up and down as he holds it up between you two. Your brows return the gesture in agreement. So, with your lipstick and his phone in hand, you both set off. At your front door, the true blue slider casually opens it and stands off to the side, bowing while holding his hand out. You play along, responding in a curtsy before placing your hand into his. The two of you are barely able to contain excitements check as you both leave your apartment.
You and Leo soon arrive at the lair, ready to set you plan into motion.

This is my first ever fic!!! For many years I’ve attempted writing. Most never made it past the notes and plot outlines while a few never made it past the first paragraph. My main medium for my creativity has always been drawing so this is a HUGE deal for me!!! Especially since any of possible skill for creative writing I had apparently died back in high school. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!❤️

Hello, could you write a headcanon about Leo de Rottmnt on how he would react when he realizes he is in love with a human?
rise leo x gn reader
How many blind dates had he been on? Too many to count. He’d even agreed to be set up with Sunita’s cousin, who was the same sort of goop yokai except she was blue.
Every yokai he went out with, he always ended up ghosting them. Ignoring their messages, pretending not to know them when they ran into each other in the Hidden City. No matter how exasperated April and Sunita got, he just never felt right with any of them.
They all just seemed the same to him and he hated having to do small talk over and over again to just end up ignoring them a few hours after. It was a waste of time at this point. He should just pull a Donnie and write his age, favorite color, and hobbies down on a notecard and hand it off to the next yokai he went out with.
Not even at the bars or clubs he had followed Raph into had he spotted anyone. He always ended up slipping away into the crowd when everyone approached him.
His family was getting sick of him acting antisocial and then complaining about not having anyone. Hell, even Donnie was sneaking out at night, probably to meet someone.
The only one who ever listened to him without complaining was you now. Not that he could complain all the time, you were always busy and with your new… friends. He rolled his eyes at the thought of them.
You were always off with your completely 100% normal and human friend group, leaving him, his brothers, and April behind most of the time. April was always welcome but not them for obvious reasons.
You used to be at the lair everyday. Leo would share his comics. He’d teach you to skate. He’d throw popcorn at you when you ‘ooh’ed over a hot guy on love island. He barely saw you anymore. He’d portal into your room and it’d always be dark and empty.
And in every photo you had shown of your new friend group, there was always one bland looking dude right next to you. Always close, shoulders touching. Once you even giggled shyly when he mentioned it. It still made him mad just thinking about you going out with some shmuck that looked like every average guy walking around in the city.
He didn’t even look half as muscular as Leo. He didn’t have any of the flashy markings that glowed that Leo had. He couldn’t portal you to Paris or to the ancient pyramids. He didn’t even save the world. And yet you were probably more with him than with Leo.
Did you think of how Leo could effortlessly pick you up when that guy tried to do the same? Did he think of how Leo who could hold you up with one arm? Leo who could take you wherever you wanted?
At the very moment he was about to call you to find an excuse to complain about your guy friend, he finally realized what was actually doing on.
Of course he’d fall in love with someone he couldn’t have.
And it wasn’t like Leo could actually do everything with you like he tried to convince himself he could. You were a human and wanted to human things with human people. He couldn’t go into public with you. Kids would cry. Women would throw their purses at him. You’d be lonely with him.
So he didn’t call you. He’d let you hang out with your real friends and hopefully as you forgot about him, he’d be able to move on.

You Are My Sunshine, My Only Moonshine - Chapter 20 - Finale
RotTMNT x Reader
Tumblr media
And here we have @sheep-turtles-and-pizza with the final chapter art that pretty much encapsulates the fic, dont'cha think?
Rated: Teen and Up Audiences
Relationships: Michelangelo (TMNT)/Reader, Michelangelo (TMNT)/You, Donatello (TMNT)/Reader, Donatello (TMNT)/You
Warnings: POV Second Person, Gender Neutral Reader, Anxious Reader, Introverted Reader, Stuttering, Aged-Up Mutant Ninja Turtles, Romance, Love, Love Confessions, Falling In Love, Unrequited Love, Rejection, Aromantic Asexual Michelangelo (TMNT), Bisexual Donatello (TMNT), Pansexual Leonardo (TMNT), Lesbian Cassandra Jones | Foot Recruit, Demisexual April O'Neil (TMNT), Implied Cassandra Jones | Foot Recruit/April O'Neil/Sunita, Endgame Donatello (TMNT)/Reader, Romantic Love, Platonic Love, Panic Attacks, Sexuality Crisis, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety, Happy Ending, Fluff
Synopsis:  You’ve lost most of your life to anxiety and fear. Now, in your late 20s, you are desperate to reclaim it and during one such outing you encounter the sun personified. With his and his similarly celestially inspired family, will you finally reach your goal or will you lose yourself along the way?
I want to take a moment and acknowledge what today has been like. For many of us, it has been unending hours of shock, rage, and terror. It feels weird, in a way, to post this now, but at the same time I can't help but want a bit of normalcy. I'm hoping a dash of light and hope might be a comfort and if not, I understand, but I still present the finale of the fic I've worked so hard on.

He could do this.
With his phone alarm blaring, Mikey fought his lids.
He had to get up. If it wasn’t for this alarm, then he needed to before the next. He had been the one to set them in order of growing and grating noises, but that didn’t make it any easier. With little thought he hung there in stasis and listened to the first chime time out. There was exactly five minutes to the next, but he didn’t care to count. Instead his mind slipped and brought him closer to a dream when the second blare scared his lids up.
With the curtain drawn that meant it was time to move.
It came with liquid limbs which he threw without mercy.
They weren’t asleep so when one banged the wall, he was forced to wilt in weary pain. He brought his wrist, the wounded soldier, back home, and held it to his chest. He allowed it to rest there for the duration of the war which he traveled in leagues to the bathroom.
A splash of ice water to the face took him the rest of the way to wakefulness.
He preened after that, washing up and fixing his hair. He’d need it out of his face for the day and secured for the antics that would ensue. That meant extra fixing and Raph soon wandered in where Mikey had left the door open. The larger acknowledged the challenge his little brother was facing and brushed his teeth off to the side, giving Mikey the full span of the mirror.
Spitting became the real issue and Mikey refused to give up real estate. With Raph’s size though, there would be no victory, so Mikey took to the air. It meant the older brother ducked down to drink from the tap and Mikey got his last lock in place just before the other came up. It perched the younger brother on his older’s shoulders and they rode together to the kitchen.
Donnie was there facing the coffee pot with shut eyes as it spat and churned bean juice.
Greetings were exchanged with grunts and Mikey floated down to his feet to take up meal duty. This was his moment of zen and his favorite part of his morning routine. His mind immediately shut off and he only moved through the memorized motions.
Preheat pan.
Eggs.
Butter.
Gently melt.
Crack as needed.
Whisk.
Season.
Cook.
Mikey could make omelets in his sleep.
He might have done so once or twice if he trusted his brother’s stories.
He still wasn’t sold.
Going for a classic and simple French-style today, he dished up four of a normal size and one enormous one.
Donnie picked the crispest fold.
Leo sauntered in and grabbed the one with the most chives sprinkled atop.
Raph got the behemoth choice.
Mikey divided his portion into bites first and allowed his dad’s to cool for storage until whenever he woke.
They ate with minimal conversation that mostly related to the day.
“They’re gonna be fighting.” Leo pointed with his fork.
“How can they be fighting about the same thing, again?” Raph pressed, still chewing.
“Give me the count, D.” Leo turned to his fellow middle child.
“The visor versus sunhat debacle has played out twelve times that we know of.”
“Today is the baker’s dozen!” Leo tried to fold Mikey in with a glance.
Mikey raised his hands off the matter.
“A baker’s dozen!” Leo didn’t seem deterred and tried with a different connotation towards Raph.
“That doesn’t mean it’s a pattern!” Raph rolled his eyes.
“‘That doesn’t mean it’s a-’” Leo mocked before turning toward Donnie. “Do the stats, stats man!”
“I both relish and resent that you use me for data.” Donnie quipped and rolled his eyes over to Leo. “As little as two events establish a pattern with more solidifying.”
“They don’t keep having the same fight!” Raph cleaned his plate first.
Leo threw his hands out to Raph and sent his disgust at Donnie.
Donnie commiserated with a tip of his head.
“What’s that!?” Raph banged his plate.
Leo took his last bite and hopped to his feet. “Nothing, brodeo.”
“That ain’t nothing!” Raph frowned with his hands on his hips.
Donnie scooped his last bite and Leo stole his plate before he got it to his mouth. “Excuse you!”
“It’s too early for this!” Leo chirped and rounded past the sink without depositing his load. “Michael?”
“Not done!” Mikey had been carefully sectioning off bites to make it last.
If he kept eating then he didn’t have to move again.
He wasn’t quite awake yet which he would admit was his fault. He knew today had been coming up for a few months now, but he neglected to get his sleep schedule in line. The night before he had been nagged about his movie’s start time, but it was hard to battle the urge when he was in the mood for a particular one. His attention was fleeting enough that he usually chose to listen.
Which was something he should have been doing then because he had missed quite a bit of the current conversation while he was ruminating about his mistakes.
“Right now! You’re doing it right now!” Leo was flapping a hand at Raph.
“I do not! Donnie, tell him!”
“Two dost make a pattern…” Donnie petered off.
“Dost nothing!” Raph bumped Donnie’s chair.
“Alright, alright…” Mikey left his last quarter of his omelet and got to his feet. “How about that coffee?”
“Almost…” Donnie held up a finger and everyone paused.
The last few drips fell and the pot registered as full with a blink of a light over to a warming plate.
“Done.” Donnie spun and lifted out of his seat in a perfect rotation.
“Coffee.” Mikey reiterated and moved past to pat both Raph and Leo’s shells.
There were relenting grunts and mugs were split.
Donnie took his to-go in a thermos of his own making and departed with words of packing.
Leo sipped a mug loudly on purpose which summoned a growl from Raph.
Mikey gestured for Raph to drink.
The oldest almost did before he remembered cream and sugar and went for that.
The moment he was gone, Mikey shot Leo an irritated look.
Leo raised his hands as if he held no blame.
Mikey narrowed his eyes.
Leo tried to exaggerate his pose, but his coffee sloshed and dripped onto him. “Dang it! Come on!”
“That’s what you get.” Mikey spoke proudly.
Leo sneered and repeated the line. “I didn’t like this shirt anyway!”
“Liar, you picked it out last week.” Raph rose with an oversized mug to his lips.
“For shame! Picking on your brother like that!” Leo scoffed with his entire form.
Raph cocked his brow ridge.
Leo fled immediately with excuses on his lips about needing to get a detergent pen.
“You good?” Mikey checked on the oldest.
Raph said nothing and only gurgled with a thickened honey as he drank down his coffee.
Mikey gave the oldest’s arm a squeeze before he went in search of his phone. The object had been left behind due to its relation with alarms. It sat dutifully still plugged in and Mikey allowed unplugging to wake the screen. There were already a litany of messages from you lined and he tabbed through them lazily.
He penned replies and hobbled back to the kitchen where he’d forgotten to put dad’s omelet up. Raph had left so it was a tug of plastic wrap before it was lovingly slammed into the fridge with a sweet orange note applied. The fridge door closed and Mikey puzzled over what he had forgotten. It took a full rotation of his body to find his coffee and that it was now lukewarm. His tongue lolled out at the temperature and he dumped it.
Microwaving such things was sacrilege and Mikey instead messaged you asking about beverages.
You had a list seemingly ready for him and he smiled at it while saying you should take your pick.
Your response bubble disappeared and he could see you dropping everything to scroll the presumably tiny menu on mobile.
He could see you struggling with the page’s optimization and he shook his head.
Mikey would say he couldn’t believe how much he loved you, but that was patently wrong.
He knew the exact lengths.
He walked them one step at a time while holding your hand.
He treasured those times.
They also felt like something from a million years ago even though it had at most been a year.
Or maybe more.
Mikey wasn’t that great at dates outside of birthdays, but that was because he’d set reminders.
He should set another one and fiddled over to the calendar only to forget when he saw Piebald’s birthday coming up.
He already had a gift, but her party was one that split his attention.
You would be there too.
His best friend in the whole world.
Probably soon to be in-law with that recent geology expedition Donnie had gone on.
Rocks usually bored him to tears so the connection made sense.
You would say yes.
You would become family.
You would always be more.
You held a place in his heart that no one else dared get close to.
He had fallen in one love and then into another with you.
He was forever grateful and more so that you would always be by his side.
You responded back with your drink order and an updated file that Mikey didn’t bother opening. The last time he tried the text was so microscopic that it made a mockery of some online menu board. You would explain it to him when you met up anyway and he already knew the basics. You were overprepared and that was your normal song and dance. You would fret and he would find a way to make the day’s plans even better.
Assured, Mikey’s phone chirped with a new message and it was Leo’s final boarding call.
Realizing then that he had done nothing else to prepare, he made a literal hop, skip, and jump across the lair and back into his room. He placed himself in the dead center of it and took one deep breath before his ninpo charged. He was then off like a rocket, doing calculated slips through space to grab everything.
Comfy shorts for walking.
Cool vintage tank top he found to stay cool.
Fanny pack in a blinding color so he wouldn’t lose his belongings.
No hat because his hair was already done.
A lather of Donnie’s special sunscreen that was matched for his exact pigment.
A pair of sunglasses that he planned on losing.
He came to a halt and flicked off residual orange sparks totally ready to leave.
“How’s that for prep work!?”
The room didn’t respond.
“Exactly!” Mikey whooped and spun out of his room.
He continued to do twirls all the way until he reached the TV room where Splinter was groggily looking up at Donnie.
“There are thrill rides in New York!” His dad scoffed and flapped his hands.
“Not like these.” Donnie tried to reason with him.
Splinter made a disgruntled noise.
Mikey jumped over to him. “Omelette in the fridge, daddio!”
“Thank you, orange.” Splinter held his head up for a kiss.
Mikey obliged him. “Where’s Leo? Didn’t he say it was time to go?”
“I did.” Leo’s voice drifted in from the side. “And I perfectly timed how late you would be.”
“And didn’t bother to tell anyone else.” Donnie folded his arms.
“Pattern.” Raph grunted.
“Okay that was funny like an hour ago, but I’m over it being a whole day thing.” Leo cocked a hip.
“Another pattern!” Raph held out his arms in accusation.
“That was my point-!” Leo threw up his hands to stop himself. “Nope. Breaking the cycle!”
A beat of silence went through the room.
Raph didn’t take the bait and only looked over at Leo.
Leo shined him an honest smile.
Raph gave him a nod that said this version of apology was acceptable.
“Alright! Now that that’s over, choo-choo! Leo train is now boarding. Please line up single file. That’s hands and feet inside the line at all times. Some universal mishaps possible so try to keep within the portal’s boundary, please and thank you!” Leo moved to an open space and manifested a sword.
Donnie led the line behind him.
“Have fun wasting time with your loopsie loops! The premium entertainment is right here!” Splinter rubbed the remote against his cheek.
A few affectionate goodbyes were tossed and Mikey joined to be last in line.
“Three total stops, and here-!” Leo sliced a portal that went straight into April’s apartment.
Everyone stepped through in a continuous line as if they weren’t walking straight through miles of land and two people were added to the queue.
“We-!” The next portal cut through your apartment.
You joined in line with a wave.
“Go!” The last blue disk sent the now larger group to an amusement park’s gates. “Thank you for riding the Leo Express, we knew you had a great trip so do send over that five star review as soon as possible!”
Everyone warbled out of the rigid placement and reformed in a circle.
This was it.
Everything would devolve into that Hamato chaos from here.
Mikey smiled at the prospect.
Raph was the first to break with a barely withheld snort.
“Sing it, big guy!” April crooned.
“Don’t… you… dare…” Casey lowered her posture and prepared to launch herself if necessary.
The barest twitter emerged from Raph who had lifted to his full height and was fighting strain with all of it.
April bounced behind Casey’s back. “What’s it look like!? How about now!? You see it, you say it!”
“O’Neil…!” Casey threatened.
“You look like an old timey lamp in human form!” Raph blurted out.
April cackled and cut through the circle to laugh against the oldest brother. “I asked if she was going to share her poker chips!”
That garnered more giggles.
“Fools!!!” Casey hissed and threw up a defensive finger.
“Watch out, s-she’s gonna have to recount the m-money!” April barely managed.
Raph slapped April’s back so hard she fell over.
Casey stormed straight towards Mikey.
Mikey assumed the position and was immediately held up in display.
“Look at this one! Pathetic! He has no cranial protection at all and the covering for his eyes impedes his vision! My superior visor blocks UV, reduces eye strain, and will not be lost in our conquest of delights!!” Casey shook Mikey so hard his sunglasses came off.
He chuckled all the way in leaning down to pick them up. “I’m team sunscreen.”
“Sunscreen!?!” Casey threw him up into the air.
Mikey altered his trajectory with a kick of his foot and landed by Leo. “You put on sunscreen, right?”
“You cannot put sunscreen on your eyes!!” Casey seethed.
“Huh? Sure. Yeah.” Leo spoke dismissively with his gaze over his shoulder.
“This is a hat versus visor debate!!” Casey stomped at being ignored.
Mikey’s grin grew at the sign of more mischief.
Leo was up to something else entirely.
Mikey bet he stoked the debate fires this morning to throw others off his trail.
Today was shaping up to be extremely entertaining.
Donnie openly thought.
You tacked away with a flurry on your phone, no doubt looking up some park policy about the recommended sun protection.
“Goggles is team visors, don’t try to ���hotdog is a sandwich’ your way outta this one!” April shouted.
“They are their own category!!” Donnie bristled.
Casey rushed Donnie. “Join me!! With your brain and my all around balanced skill chart, we shall make the hat wearers rue the day they trifled with secure headwear!”
“No. I’d rather not.” Donnie speed walked out the way.
Casey chased after him. “Give in!!”
Donnie went straight for Leo.
Leo had to double take before he realized Casey was now heading towards him. “Wait, no! I’m not part of this!”
In a speedy grapple, Donnie and Leo fought over Leo’s bag.
Donnie came out victorious with a pair of blue rimmed sunglasses that he slammed onto Leo’s beak.
“A turncoat!” Donnie exclaimed before sidestepping toward Mikey.
“You fiend!” Casey caught the loops of Leo’s tank top before he could run. “As leader you should be setting an example!”
“Of dork-i-tude? I think not!” Leo’s sunglasses slid down his beak and he looked at Casey dismissively over them.
She shook them straight off of him and yelled so loud her words became unintelligible.
Raph helped April back to her feet where the two were still snickering.
“Was the new sunscreen formulation tolerable?” Donnie leaned against a guard rail and regarded his youngest brother.
“Oh yeah, went on good! No lasting goopy feeling!” Mikey chirped.
“And a hotdog is a sandwich!” Leo clawed Casey off of him and threw her at Raph and April.
The pair squealed as Casey switched to a fighting stance in the air.
“That’s good, I analyzed new products on the market and found-” Donnie droned on.
Mikey pretended he understood anything his brother was saying.
“And meet up squabbles… Check…”
Mikey turned at the comparatively small voice.
It was obviously you and you smiled at your phone before looking up.
You met his eye and your gaze softened.
He returned it.
He needed to ask you about those drinks.
He was about to when you suddenly broke your gaze away.
He watched with a falling smile as you built up determination and took a single step forward.
Your body language read sturdy and your lips parted. “Alright… L-listen up!!!”
It took a bit of tapering, but as each person caught on to the owner of the voice, they all quieted in different forms of awe.
Your eyes didn’t leave your phone, but you didn’t look like you were reading from something. “I thank you all for coming today! It m-means a lot that you would join me! You p-probably already know about my, um… trouble with anxiety. I’ve been working really hard and today is a culmination of breaking that down. I… never thought I’d ever go to an amusement park, let alone leave New York, but I’m here now, t-thanks to each of y-you, so… thank you, truly…”
Your eyes rose in gratitude and everyone shifted with emotion.
April opened her mouth to respond, but your expression shifted to a threatening one.
Again, the group stiffened in surprise.
“That being said… This is my plan!” Phones started to ping around the group, but no one dared go for their device. “You’ve just been sent a copy of today’s itinerary. If you do not follow it, you will be left behind! T-that said, I did a ton of research and took as much into account as I possibly could! I t-think it’s doable…” You checked your phone. “My spiel is done, you now have 15 minutes to look and decide before the g-gates open…”
Hands flew for their phones.
“It really is 15 till…”
“How…?”
“Woah, what…?”
Mikey’s entire body tipped to the side.
He was only one of two people not acting on your instruction.
You had returned to checking something on your phone and swipes of your pupils said you were moving things around.
Mikey looked around.
“We’re being split up…?” April was sharing her phone between Raph and Casey. “Ride team and prize team…”
“How did pipsqueak know I was going to make the carnies cry?” Casey rubbed her chin.
“You’re not supposed to make them cry! You’re supposed to win cute prizes!” Raph tutted her. 
“Victory tastes sweeter when seasoned with tears.” Casey only nodded appropriately.
“I did only want to do coasters…” April remarked, still studying her device.
Leo chuffed and immediately tried to muffle it.
April caught wind and started scrolling on her phone with purpose before she lit with anger. “Hey! Now, hold on! What’s up with this!?”
Leo pointedly looked away.
“’Leo and April shenanigans!?’ Why do I get moved off the ride rotation?! What does that mean!?” She threw her phone out and walked it into Leo’s face.
“Oh, nothing!” He failed to conceal his laugh. “Y/N wrote it!”
April’s eyes narrowed.
“Leo’s meeting up with someone.”
A few pairs of eyes shot to you, but you were still working.
You gave a sly smile to mostly yourself. “He’s the only one I couldn’t figure out so I asked for his help.”
“Smart move. I would have gone rogue otherwise.” Leo shrugged.
“What’s that got to do with me!?” April rounded on Leo.
“Nothing!” Leo raised his voice and ducked around April in a smooth twirl that sent his mask tails twisting like a graceful pair of ribbons. “Just maybe I have a hot date with someone you just so happened to know and might not approve of…”
“What?! Who!?” April spun around with a low center of gravity to latch onto him if need be.
“Oh, is that the ticket guy!?” Leo skipped away.
“Leo! Leonardo Hamato, you get your ass back here right now! Who!?” April chased after him.
“I’m kinda glad…” Raph pressed his fingers together. “Takes the stress offa trying to get on the rides with the weight limit and all… Y/N even scheduled me tram time. How’d you know?”
You gave a slight wiggle at the praise, but didn’t respond.
“It is rigid, yet a lethal plan of attack.” Casey smacked her phone approvingly. “I may have to reevaluate your position in my ranking board of weakness if the outcome is favorable.”
Leo laughed loudly as he dodged April in the parking lot.
Mikey felt like he was out of his mind.
That was it?
You suddenly did something he would have never guessed in a million years and everyone only cared for a few minutes’ tops.
This was more than your progress.
This was something completely new.
It made no sense.
In a slow swivel, Mikey looked at the only other person who had yet to move.
Donnie was right next to him and lounging against the rail he was leaning on.
On his face was an expression that was nothing less than love struck.
“My nova…” Donnie mooned quietly. “Ever expanding destruction. Stunning.”
He then moved over to you and it was only for him that you parted your attention.
You shared your screen with him and he curled around, not quite touching you, to take it in with all his adoration.
Mikey was still leagues away.
His limbs felt clunky as he went for his phone.
There at the top of his notifications was your itinerary. It was clearly labeled and he clicked on it. The day was laid out before him in exact measure. There were blank fields ready to be filled in with approximate ride wait times. As soon as entry to the park was granted, the tables were divided into two clear columns for those who sought thrills and those who preferred less stomach churning activities. Along with scheduled drink and bathroom breaks, the snack segments were drop down lists that had food stand opening times along with full menus.
One of which was highlighted in orange and was sporting a coffee bar menu.
Mikey shook with a dry laugh.
“Time!” You clapped once and moved straight to the ticket counter with purpose.
You hadn’t purchased the tickets ahead of time, he knew this.
There had been something about an in-park discount. You were the first person in line and ended up buying for the lot with a quick card slip from Leo. Mikey identified that as the Hamato joint account. It had alleviated many petty squabbles. You dutifully went to each person and gave them a ticket like it was the most precious thing in the world.
Mikey accepted and the otherwise boring slip seemed like it glowed in his hand. He tucked it into a particularly safe pocket of his fanny pack as everyone moved inside. There were sounds of interest as soon as you entered the gate. The fracture split the group and there were no hard feelings.
You parted from Donnie with only one solidifying glance.
You two were always like that.
Donnie’s pet names were seemingly the only overtly romantic thing of note. Otherwise, the two of you displayed next to no PDA. It wasn’t just Mikey; Leo had questioned if you two were still dating more than once. It made Donnie furious every time and he declared your relationship was healthier than ever with each prompting. Mikey never saw it as a bad thing, but he could admit his bias. 
Mikey was also closer to you than anyone else. 
He knew your looks and the way you talked about Donnie. 
You were not left romantically wanting and Mikey would bet his existence that you two were in it for the long haul.
It felt like an odd rumination to end on as you left your boyfriend and headed straight towards him instead.
“Ready for that coffee?” You pointed in the direction of where it presumably was.
“Uh, yeah…” Mikey responded dully.
Casey yelled charge and jumped on Raph’s shoulders.
Raph pretended to rear before setting off.
April tugged ruthlessly on Leo’s mask tails and walked with Donnie towards growing metal pyres of rollercoasters.
“You okay…?” You tilted your head. “Need motion sickness meds?”
“No. I just didn’t… What… what team am I on…?” Mikey couldn’t remember where his phone was.
You tapped it where it was sticking out of his fanny pack. “Mine.”
“Yours… being…?”
You took a leading step and he followed after.
“Team duo!” You held up eager fists.
“Duo…?” Mikey pointed between him and you.
“We’re the only o-ones who want to do both!”
“Both…?”
You looked out fondly at the park. “Our special designation. I’m m-making the most of it… I… I’m n-not sure about the whole… coaster… adrenaline junkie thing. I think… I’ve had enough fight or flight for one lifetime, but… you can’t come h-here and not ride a coaster!”
Mikey nodded along.
“We’re d-doing two rides for sure…” You held up two fingers. “The f-fastest one and the o-one you were talking about…”
He thought and got himself a little straighter. “The one that free falls…?”
“Exactly!” You hopped a step.
“Huh…” The corner of his lips quirked.
“My heart’s already racing…!” You squeezed a hand to your chest. “Coffee w-won’t help, I think I’m gonna get something less caffeinated. Tea…? I was thinking tea…”
“Tea’s good.”
“Iced.” You agreed.
“I’m…” What was he doing?
Was he going to spend all day like this?
You were clearly over the moon with excitement.
You’d made this incredible list.
Everyone had split up, but seemed to be having a blast.
This was the final item on your mega list.
He was going to be your buddy for the day.
Was he going to miss that chance?
Never.
“I’m…” Mikey repeated and then jumped forward to block your path. “I’m going to get the most sugary thing and drop four shots of espresso in it!”
“M-Mikey!!” Your hands came up in a worried flurry.
“Try and stop me!” Mikey cheered and ran towards the only food stand that was open.
It was clearly the coffee station and you chased after shouting his name.
He placed his order before you reached him and you panted yours out when you got there.
The person moved to make them after taking payment and you scolded him for what would definitely happen. While the hyper-dose of caffeine would momentarily settle him, it would also eventually process along with the sugar. The resulting stimulation would send him bouncing off the walls until he eventually crashed. You added notes about forcing snacks on him to prevent that and he breezily accepted.
You got your drinks and headed out.
He found Casey by her voice alone and found her arguing with a worker in the carnival area. Raph stood by, unable to do much other than apologize and Mikey swooped in to get her away. The woman griped around having won and Mikey told her to get the next one. A huddle was had and there was discussion on how the games were rigged. It broke apart with an agreement that a little mysticism would go a long way and games were then chosen in a rotation.
It started with you picking a water gun game where you won nothing more than a bouncy ball.
Mikey and you played with it as Raph took his turn next and drove Casey up a wall because he had trouble deciding. You had a great time walking around and talking amongst it so when Raph finally picked it almost seemed like an interruption. His stall of choice came with ring toss and extra fuzzy looking plush prizes. You all took turns throwing, but no one got close enough to win anything.
Casey went next and immediately chose a stall that had balloons to pop. She forewent the weapon to throw kunai which spooked the employee. It took the manpower of the rest of the group to calm the man down before Mikey casted a small memory shifting spell. It had come in handy more than once for removing blame from his dad, but he kept the origins of the spell to himself. The mechanics of which he happily shared. The employee lost five minutes at most and Casey was removed from the stall kicking and screaming by Raph.
That left Mikey, who stopped at the sight of a giant spinning drill bit. It was an oddity amongst the other dime a dozen games and he felt compelled to ask. A kind man offered him a metal rod with a hole in it and explained that the game was one like Operation. If Mikey could get the hole all the way down the twisting and turning piece of metal without making contact with it then he would get a prize.
Raph was staring straight at a teddy bear the size of him and of a much higher quality than any other stand.
Mikey pretended to push up his non-existent sleeves before he claimed this was the game.
The buzzer of failure rang within 15 seconds.
Casey shoved him out of the way and screamed about how she would be the successful one amongst them all.
Her alarm came in seven seconds.
She spit about cheating and Mikey held her back so Raph could go.
Raph was sweating bullets as his giant hands meant it was more difficult to hold the rod.
He maneuvered the hole as far down as he could before his mass impeded him twisting along with the moving drill and he was outed around the 25 second mark.
That left you where you hopelessly grabbed the rod.
Without a drop of faith on your face, you studied how to best approach it and threaded your rod against the drill.
Moving slowly and methodically, you worked down the corkscrew that had taken out both Mikey and Casey.
You then rounded a looping arch that had removed Raph.
Down into a rectangular area that had you making snap gestures with your wrists, you then cleared it for a final flight straight down until the rod sat flush with the base of the game.
There was a beat of silence.
You then looked up at the employee.
“T-there was a mistake…” The man uttered. “The top there. You touched it, but the machine glitched and didn’t go off.”
This time Casey wasn’t the only one who fought back.
Mikey shot forward with the other two to bowl the mean man over with complaints.
Your praises were sung.
The man was bitter in gesturing to the wall, giving up on the matter and letting you pick a prize.
“Raph… which was it…?” You checked with him.
“You sure?!” Raph’s eyes watered.
“Very.” You nodded for him to choose.
He hugged the bear so tight there were waning stitches.
It was Casey who urged him to back off and with that you were off for your first snack break.
The sugar and caffeine were commingling in Mikey’s stomach so he launched himself forward with purpose. He ended up getting too far ahead and bet a random employee about guessing his weight. The man ended up being wrong and gave him a superhero cape for his troubles. It was a far cry from his cloak, but Mikey ran around making it soar nonetheless. You eventually caught up and purchased a variety of popcorns. They had a ridiculous amount of flavors and the pot was shared amongst the group. One selection was tossed while another was fought over and after you forced Mikey to down a bottle of water, you were on your way to the ride of his choosing.
The freefall ride was immediately selected and you were soon led to a shaky basket. It sat ready to be lifted up a set of tracks. Raph bowed out as there were three seats and he couldn’t fit in any of them. He seemed more than pleased to watch with his stuffed animal cradled tight and you were moved into the middle position. Casey complained about not needing shackles which the park attendant ignored as he made sure everyone was strapped in. Mikey looked all around in obvious excitement while your anxieties heavily contrasted him. You politely asked the man to double check your safety bar. He did so without complaint, but tacked on that you should be ready because the ride dropped at a rate of 30 feet per second which did nothing to quell your concerns.
As the man moved away to start the ride, Mikey caught a glimpse of teeth. 
It unnerved him and he continued to stare long after the guy manned a control panel. As far as Mikey could tell, he didn’t do anything else out of the ordinary which left him wondering if he had been mistaken. The ride began to ascend the tower and you clung to your safety bars with white knuckles. Mikey switched to soothing you by wondering if you’d been able to see the ride team when you achieved your maximum height. You stunted out a question about what coaster they were on and the ride clinked to a halt at the very top while Mikey tried to guess.
The entire park was laid out in front of you.
Mikey watched over it with a huge smile before turning it to you and finding the same awe inspired twinkle in your eyes.
“These are the best seats…” Casey mumbled.
You nodded in agreement.
“Nice pick, orange peel.” Casey tipped her chin to Mikey.
“Thank you!” Mikey beamed.
The moment lingered on.
A little too long. 
Casey squirmed and grunted about the wait. 
Mikey’s eye wandered before he peeked over the carriage to see what was going on below. 
From this angle, he couldn’t quite see the ride operator. 
You mustered up the courage to wonder, “Isn’t it… s-supposed to fa-?”
The beams holding the cart released with a chunk and whatever was left of your question went up into an outright scream as you rocketed down the ride. The basket then tipped and flipped over at the end, cutting off the intense inertia and churned the contents of everyone’s stomachs. Casey belched loudly and Mikey weakly thanked you for the water. You only shivered in your seat and didn’t move a muscle until the cart was righted and you were allowed to exit. There you made it a few feet before you wilted into Raph. “I-I l-lifted!”
“Lifted?” Raph offered you his stuffed animal.
You grabbed it with a might that rivaled its owners. “I-In m-my s-seat…! I-it w-wasn’t t-tight t-to m-my b-body. I l-lifted up i-into t-the a-air!”
Mikey spun around to glare at the employee, but he was strapping new guests in.
“Let’s go!” Mikey grumbled and ushered the group along.
You nodded shakily and it took walking halfway across the park before you steadied a little. It was there that you met up with the ride crew fresh off their coaster and oozing adrenaline. April was hollering about going a third time and tackled Casey. The former recruit hoisted her up and paraded April around. Mikey passed you off to Donnie who animatedly regaled you about the ride they’d just been on. He had the history of it and listening to him seemed to take your final edge off.
It was only to be built back up as this reunion was so you could hit your coaster.
The park capacity had grown as time wore on. It meant a lengthy wait in the line which was happily filled with conversation. Catching up on everything that had been missed, you updated the schedule before it was your turn. This time it was four in a row and Mikey high fived Leo to signal he’d ride with him. The couples took the first car and Donnie had words about how being in the front had its advantages.
You didn’t seem to agree, but you were soothed when this park attendant didn’t have the same odd edge. She secured you into place with a heavy click and pulled so hard on your seat belt that you appeared to have the air squeezed out of you. Donnie prattled on about how you would achieve 50 miles per hour and an employee joked about you losing your shoes. Mikey used his last free motion to zip his fanny pack up tightly and there was a ticking counter for takeoff.
The entire train shot like a bullet out of the station. Without a single building momentum, it instead bounced with turns and rotations that mimicked a balloon caught in a wind tunnel. Mikey screeched with excitement as he saw ground, then sky, then ground again, in a seemingly endless loop. His body was rocked violently side to side, but little of him went anywhere with the safety equipment.
With its hurtling speeds, the ride appeared over as fast as it began and Mikey was giggling his head off.
Donnie disengaged first, but you didn’t move.
He immediately rounded back on you and the employee came along with alarm on her face that immediately shifted to outright laughter. “Omigosh! Look at your hands! You made indents with your f-fingers! I’ve never seen that!!”
“Let go, nova dearest…” Donnie urged you.
You made a weary noise and didn’t seem to know you were safely docked.
“You’re alright. You can let go now.” The attendant joined in.
“You’re all good! Still got your zapatos on!” Leo cheered from where he was already back on solid ground.
Mikey followed after him. “The schedule, Y/N!”
That got you and you disengaged your fingers.
The attendant and Donnie helped you to the platform.
Your hands were out and stuck in a claw-like positioning.
“This is when you-!” Casey caught a finger and pulled hard.
It popped the joint and you squeaked in pain.
April immediately went on both attack and defense.
She kicked Casey down a short flight of stairs and helped you check your finger. “It’s not out of socket… You good?”
You nodded, teary eyed.
“Alright, alright…” April shushed you and slung an arm around your shoulders. “Where’s Raph? I bet he wants to do tea cups!”
“Tea cups! Spin off, bro!?” Leo whooped and turned toward Donnie.
You murmured out Raph’s location.
Donnie shoved Leo away and moved into yours and April’s shadow.
Casey butted up to Mikey’s side. “Was that… a grave mistake…?”
“No…” Mikey turned to her with sympathy. “Too much at the wrong time? Yes, but you’ll be forgiven, I guarantee it.”
Casey didn’t seem convinced.
“How about this…?” Mikey ducked his head down to share a secret.
Casey came with severe attention.
“When we have souvenir time, pay close attention to what Y/N looks at. If they pass on something, but look back at it, you know they actually want it. Get them that and say sorry then. It’ll be perfect.”
“You are sure?”
“I…” Mikey softened. “… know Y/N better than anyone. Yeah, I’m sure.”
“I see… Understood.” Casey gave a nod and broke the walking huddle.
Raph was back with the gang and had a churro that was almost as long as him. Apparently a cart man had taken his size on as a challenge and made this one special. Raph was unfazed at having not ridden any rides yet and munched happily. Your spirits raised and by the time you were at the tea cups, you asked to sit out. April offered to join you, but you urged her to go as you wanted to watch and take pictures.
That was enough of a go ahead and everyone smashed themselves into a single cup even though there wasn’t enough room. The attendant at this ride didn’t seem to care as no one else was on and started up the cups. All six cup members grabbed the center wheel and began to turn it with reckless abandon. The cup immediately exceeded some upper limit and the resulting g-forces forced Mikey to let go first.
He slammed, carapace first, into the wall and found he couldn’t pull his limbs back to return to spinning. Leo’s lips flapped as he challenged Casey who was directly across from him. She took him on with a wild expression and April was the next to hit the wall. She seemed to suffocate on the oxygen being spun away from her and Raph’s clambering claws slipped.
He had little space to fly and only seemed to open up more room for the final three. Donnie held out as long as he could, but he too was knocked out by the rotations. That left Leo and Casey who, to Mikey’s eyes, were never going to stop. The ride continued to spin longer than Mikey thought possible. Though it was only in millisecond clips, he sort of caught the vision of you talking to the employee. You pointed towards them and he thought maybe it was to stop you, but Mikey also caught a clip of the employee laughing.
The ride wasn’t going to stop until someone won, he realized then.
“Gonna… be… sick…!!” Donnie retched.
“I’ve been puked on before!” Leo cackled, not backing down.
“Try cleaning up frosting vomit!” Casey matched him.
“Been there, done that!” Leo seethed.
Raph’s eyes spun and his head lolled.
“We lost Raph!” April screamed.
Donnie and April latched onto the arms of the largest half-conscious brother to keep him from flying out of the ride.
The tea cup began to wobble.
“U-uh… G-guys!?” Mikey squeaked.
“Give it up!” Leo’s words slurred.
“Never!!!” Casey screamed.
A bit of spit exited her mouth.
As if caught in the middle of a vortex, it seemed to slow around the tornado.
Mikey watched as it hung before choosing a direction.
It hit Leo directly in the eye.
The slider let go and flew back with enough force that there was an audible bang against the metal cup.
A song played that signaled the end of the ride and no amount of gentle slowing could adjust everyone’s equilibrium.
“I… win!!!” Casey managed before collapsing right out of the cup.
The others similarly fell to the floor and half crawled their way in different directions, unable to tell which way they were going. You rushed into the ride and helped the best you could. It meant you flew from April almost hitting a guardrail to Raph who regained consciousness, but could barely speak. Donnie dry heaved and the attendant had to use a crowbar to remove Leo from the cup. There was light conversation about paying for damages which was turned into an elaborate lie instead so the park employee wouldn’t get in trouble for his various infractions.
Something convincing was agreed upon and half the group took a break.
Leo said he was fine otherwise and said he’d be hitting the restroom. April checked her phone as he was walking away and screamed at him about the time. He immediately took off running and she pursued him all while asking why he felt the need to flee. Raph said something about needing to move since his ear drums thought he was and he gravitated towards a nearby slide. Mikey watched after, nursing a new water. He glanced at his companions and found you soothingly rubbing the back of Donnie’s neck while Casey lay in a limp pile.
“It’s two to a carpet…” You told Mikey without looking.
“Isn’t Raph the two?” Mikey chuckled.
You smiled and flicked your eyes to give him permission to go.
He returned the grip and tipped his water in gratitude before chasing after the oldest. This line moved swiftly and Mikey and Raph butted together to walk the straight line between the bars. They were soon sitting on a soft rug and then pushed down an enormous snake. Black, red, and yellow flew by and it was oddly grounding as they slithered through twists and turns. By the time they were off, the vertigo had lapsed and Mikey ran back to you with the good news.
You had moved over by a trash can where you were patting Casey’s face with a wet towel.
“She get sick?” Mikey asked.
You opened your mouth to respond but the women in question cut you off.
“N-nev-!” Casey belched wetly. “-er… yes…”
“Don’t worry… Even warriors throw up sometimes…” You passed Casey the towel.
“Thank you…” Casey showed a moment of vulnerability and leaned into you.
You helped her up and back over to where Donnie was still sat.
“Lunch is next…” Raph spoke nervously and his stomach growled.
“How!?” Donnie threw out a limp wrist.
Raph chuckled sheepishly.
“Food can help… Something light?” You asked Casey.
She only groaned and moved to walk herself towards the larger food court.
“How are you fine?” Donnie asked Mikey.
“Hmm…” Mikey wondered aloud. “Y/N has been pumping me full of dry food and water so I guess I’m hydrated and the food ate up my stomach acid kinda thing?”
Donnie thought it over before stopping at the next closest cart to get a water.
Mikey watched him sip on it and the group eventually gathered at an outdoor dining room flagging a congregation of food stalls. Mikey took orders and Raph offered to carry the trays while everyone else rested. You darted away for napkins and condiments and there was soon a spread on a large wooden table. April joined back up just as food was served and when asked who Leo was with she would only grumble out that she didn’t want to talk about it. No one pushed and she left to momentarily get her own food.
Eating slowly recuperated everyone and there was talk of how to proceed. The tram ride was technically next and Raph was full and eager to ride the train around the park. You urged the others that this was a good thing and there was a stuffed trudge over to the platform. It was an agonizing staircase up, but once inside, the AC pumped through the cabin. Each person laid out on their own bench and slipped into a dreamy daze as the tram made routine pit stops.
For several cycles, the transport was yours. Mikey sat across the alley from you and watched you stare at the way the sunbeams sparkled through the rides. They seemed to be the only light penetrating the calm and darkened car. It added to the mood and it was only when another person finally got on that you all moved to disembark.
You were on the far side of the park and there was a divide on what to do next. A certain coaster was here that could apparently fit Raph and he seemed eager to try it. Meanwhile, April and Casey had their eyes set on a log ride on the other side of the park. Raph looked on expectantly at the rest of you and Donnie agreed to go. You and Mikey said you’d wait in line, but not ride and everyone separated. The queue was shorter here for the distance from the other rides and the line curled through the trees. It offered a delightful flush of shade and conversation was pleasant.
Raph was allowed on after some adjustments to his seat and Donnie bid you and Mikey adieu.
You showed Mikey the tea cup pictures you had taken and Mikey couldn’t stop laughing at all the ugly wind blown faces. You regaled him on how you asked the ride attendant to keep spinning and how the man thought it was a hilarious contest. He apparently had a speed gun and caught a top speed of 89 miles per hour which seemed absurd, but you had evidence of that too. You then readied yourself and snapped a photo as the coaster shot by with Donnie and Raph. You shared that shot with Mikey too and it painted Raph the picture of terror and Donnie something a little more lighthearted than neutral.
You were both laughing and turning the images into memes when the other two brothers joined you.
Donnie appeared in good health, but walked a small distance from the group to slouch against a bench instead of sitting on it.
Raph got his phone out, laughed at the first meme in the group chat, and then was obvious about getting the itinerary up. “Oh, there’s a break in the schedule here. We can either rest, go to a show, or shop!”
“What kind of show?” Mikey perked up.
“Uh…” Raph fiddled with the drop down and his large fingers. “Dance show!”
Mikey debated openly.
You were looking at Donnie.
Donnie didn’t seem to notice.
Donnie looked like he was sulking. 
You turned to Mikey with a sort of expectant look.
Mikey tilted his head and wondered if he should prod his brother.
You instead moved closer to him and gestured for him to lower his head.
He brought it down to listen. “Mind shopping with me? I don’t think he’s had enough protein…”
“Sure!” Mikey bobbed. “Raph, you going to the show? We’re hitting the vendors!”
“Think I’ll be good alone…?” Raph weighed his options with a swing of his head.
“I think you’ll run into Leo and his mystery date.” Mikey wagged his brow ridge. “What’s more romantic than dancing?” 
Raph lit up. “Dance show it is!”
You waved Raph and his stuffed animal goodbye and went to flank Donnie with Mikey.
He moved listlessly with you and Mikey thought you were spot on in your guess.
He hadn’t seen Donnie eat anything other than a plain baked potato at the concession so it was highly likely that his brother hadn’t had anything with protein in it since his morning omelet. With all the walking and excitement, that meant he had little more than carbs to work off of and it was the likely culprit for his dip in mood.
You rounded in and out of several open air shops where Mikey clocked a keychain for Casey to get you later.
He covertly snapped a pic and sent it off along with a location and received back a flurry of emojis.
Mikey rolled his eyes affectionately and followed you into a shop with jerky.
Donnie turned his nose up at the stuff, but the employee there was a proud one. They went on and on about how tender it was which Donnie openly scoffed at. Samples were passed out to prove him otherwise, but he refused to partake. You and Mikey clinked paper cups before downing yours and Mikey drilled the employee on how they’d done it all while his mouth was still full. It was far too tender for what it was and the employee laughed haughtily and only agreed.
Donnie tentatively took a corner shred as a bite as if there was a chance it was poisoned and was struck by how easily the meat tore away from the piece. He then ate his fill and picked up several bags which he snacked on while you and Mikey debated flavors. The employee threw in a discount and you exited with several bags and a much happier Donnie.
A piece of jerky stuck out of the corner of his brother’s mouth and you pulled the group aside to look at the park map. There was clear conversation of where to head next and Mikey’s attention wandered. He was no longer wearing his cape which meant he had lost it at some point. Instead of wondering where, Mikey accepted the disappearance and fiddled with the zipper of his fanny pack. You and Donnie were still talking and he was about to interject in case you had gotten off topic when a man walked by. 
Mikey stared after him for a long moment and placed him as the man from the freefall ride. 
A small spark of resentment flicked in Mikey’s chest and he decided this walk by had occurred for a reason. 
“I’m… I’m gonna be right back! Do whatever… yeah, whatever…!” Mikey ran in the direction the employee went.
You shouted out questions behind him, but didn’t pursue.
It took a bit of winding as Mikey lost track, but around a curve of fence, there was an obvious park worker entrance that said ‘KEEP OUT.’ It was also very obviously wide open and Mikey popped his head in to check. There was a long hallway of built up fence that disappeared around a bend. He walked cautiously down the path until a sliver of an open area became visible. Stopping there and hunkering down in learned scouting, Mikey saw the park employee walk into frame with another following him and yanking his hat off.
The offensive man slapped his coworker and the other man complained that he almost dropped his headwear.
Mikey chewed his lip at the first bubbles of anger.
The mean man laughed. “Aw, did I scare you?! Careful now, don’t wanna shit yourself!”
“Get lost, Zach.” The second man waved him away.
“Don’t be like that, Nevan. Whatcha doing?”
“Taking five, beat it.”
“Aw, come on! We’re both hiding out” The jerk who was now dubbed Zach leaned on the wall beside the other man.
“No, dude. I just need a second and I’m not getting written up for you again.” The nicer guy who was apparently named Nevan sneered. 
“Jerry’s a jackass! He hands out write up slips like parking tickets!”
“No, you’re always breaking code.” Nevan waved Zach off to leave.
“Come on! You’re already here! I just wanna tell you about this nutcase on the free fall!”
Nevan put his fingers in his ears and sang.
Zach tackled him and bumped a nearby trash can that buzzed with the jostling. 
Mikey caught his fingers in a wood plank to keep from interfering. 
Zach soon had Nevan in a headlock. 
“What the fuck is your problem!? Get off!!” Nevan struggled. 
“Listen and I’ll let go!” Zach cooed. 
“Screw you!”
Zach squeezed.
Mikey seethed, ready to step in.
“Fine! You know what?! Fine! Just let go!!”
Zach threw his hands up.
The other man rubbed his collar. “You fucking suck. I hate you so much…”
“Nah, you love me!”
“Just say your stupid shit so I can go, man!”
“Stupid…?” Zach burst out ugly laughing.
Nevan used the cover to inch toward his escape.
“This morning, you shoulda seen it!”
Nevan knew to pause when Zach looked.
“There was this grade A scaredy cat with these inhuman freaks. I’m telling you, we need to round them all up so we don’t gotta look at ‘em!”
Mikey slid his foot forward.
“Dude!” Nevan shoved Zach. “No! Fuck you! I’m not listening to that! My sister is dating a Labrador dude and he’s the best! That’s it. I’m out! I’m reporting you!”
“No! Come on!” Zach tried to pursue.
In a flick of his hand, Mikey manifested a chain in front of Zach’s foot.
Zach tripped, but Mikey pulled hard on the mystic energy.
It snapped tight and momentum pulled the man in the other direction.
He stumbled the other way with flailing arms and Mikey was careful in manifesting individual links under his feet so he wouldn’t be able to catch a grip on the ground.
Zach slammed into the trash can and it fell over alongside him.
There was a dull thrum before bees burst from their hive inside.
Nevan scrambled away as Zach was immediately attacked by the swarm.
Zach screeched and Nevan puffed with one shock of worry before he straightened. “You know what?! Serves you right!!”
Nevan turned and Mikey bolted back down the path and out into the park proper. He made a few sharp strides to make it look like he was walking by and he glimpsed Nevan emerge. The employee slammed the ‘KEEP OUT’ door behind him and the distant sounds of Zach’s attack melded in with screams from coasters. 
Nevan disappeared and Mikey was left relatively alone to cheer. He pumped a few happy fists before skipping back to where he’d left you and Donnie. The pair of you weren’t there and Mikey knew he could check his phone to find your location, but instead chose to wander. Misters had been turned on for the heat and he slowed by the spray to let it douse him. When his shirt was thoroughly soaked, he continued to meander.
It took him past happy families that were making memories, couples who tittered cutely to one another, and friends who snapped photo after photo. He felt honored to be privy to all these people’s special moments. This all came about because of you. You and your determination brought him here and he couldn’t be happier. You would have each other for the rest of your lives and it was with that vision of you old and grey that Mikey heard your laughter.
Donnie’s voice predictably followed and Mikey moved forward at a leisurely pace. He came upon a small unused pavilion behind some trees that he bet was great for kid’s shows. Now, it was currently empty and on the closest row to the top, Donnie was seated and you were hovering over him. Your hands were placed on either side of his head and you leaned forward to dot the tip of his beak with your nose.
Donnie reached up and steadied himself by grabbing your arm. “Y/N…”
You hummed curious in response and pulled away to run your thumbs soothingly over his cheeks.
 “Y/N, my beloved Nova. My darling . My luminous explosion of which all other ceases to be in light of you…” Donnie spoke again, sounding a little dopey.
“What is it?” You giggled and curled your fingers under his chin. 
“I need you.” He turned inward to nose and kiss one of your palms.
“You have me.” You kissed his forehead. 
“That’s not near enough. Do you know how long it’s been?” Donnie grouched lightly. 
You shushed him and shuffled until you were between his knees. “You’re having fun today.”
“I suppose that’s true...” He tested light brushes of his fingers against your waist. 
“You’d do it again, I bet.” You nodded to him and, in a happy trill, he pulled you flush to him. 
“Yes, well…!” His head dove into your shoulder as you settled in his arms. “How can you use my equally adored logic against so callously?”
“Callous, huh?” You still had his head and thumbed one of his cheeks.
“Yes.” He puffed them out so you had more to press.
“When you didn’t have to ask…?” You led him.
He peered at you curiously. “Ask what?”
“For my attention.”
He thought for only a moment before his expression went especially gooey.
“I could tell. You missed me. I missed you… It’d been a little too long, but I’m here now.”
“And you’ll… stay…?” He appeared anxious and quickly tried to mop it up with haughtiness. “I’ve yet to have my fill and my Y/N battery can be quite large so who knows how long it will take the receptacle to refill when-!”
You nuzzled down into his cheek.
His lips stalled out at the affection and gave up to lounge against you.
“Of course, I’ll stay. Maybe I’m not as exciting as those coasters, but we’ll have just as much fun together. We always do.”
“True, you aren’t enjoyable as a thrill ride…”
You were unmoved.
“You’re a far greater excitement.” He nudged for your full attention. “I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.”
You gave it with a flush of your lids. 
He somehow turned up his affections. “I love you.” 
“I love you.” You responded immediately and moved your head to meet his lips. 
Mikey stood quietly for the exchange before he lowered his gaze. It didn’t exactly feel like a revelation that you and Donnie were indeed some form of hopeless romantics, but it had been interesting to see it play out. You were a specific type of bold for your boyfriend and Mikey reached up to press a fist to his plastron. He wasn’t sure when, but at some point the cat in his chest had leapt away. It left warmth in its place and Mikey found that no matter how much time had passed, that heat lingered. There was perspective there and Mikey was glad he had stumbled upon this display. It was a signal that all was right in the world and, after giving you love birds a few more moments, he moved to make his presence known.
You squeaked out apologies for modesty, but didn’t flee from your partner.
Mikey waved you off and called himself a creeper before he tacked on that he could make that twofold.  
The specification caught Donnie’s attention where he loosened his grip on you to press what Mikey meant.
Mikey openly regaled the pair about the nefarious employee Zach.  
Donnie rose gravely and paused to break his character to ask you something with his eyes. 
You were still clearly processing Mikey’s story and only blinked at him blankly. 
Donnie’s lids dripped with adoration and he pecked your cheek before stepping free of the bench. 
It took two steps for him to shift into rage and announce that he was heading to an information desk. 
A formal complaint was about to be logged whether either of you liked it or not.
You and Mikey barely kept up with Donnie who tore a path towards his destination.
You shared a hopeless look with Mikey about how your boyfriend couldn’t be stopped.
Mikey responded in kind as he knew his brother.
You both laughed and highly contrasted the darkened aura of his sibling.  
It was a joyous light. 
It was one he shared with you that you had made all your own.
💛 THE END 💛
My greatest gratitude to my betas @tmntxthings and @thepinkpanther83 for joining me in the completion of another work.

Rottmnt x Reader
Chapter 1
Please don’t steal or use ideas without permission :)
This is an AU! The reason will be explained in later chapters, but in this AU, the yokai and mutants are fully integrated with humans. The hidden city mainly consists of Yokai and mutants with the occasional human visitor or partner.
Donatello is an independent scientist who still goes by Othello Von Ryan. He found out through trial and error that he was not made for a group laboratory. Now Donatello mainly confides himself in his lab at the lair, he's expanded of course, a man of his caliber shouldn't have to deal with such a small area. He's made great strives in the scientific community, solving some of the world's leading problems. Having won numerous awards, he still finds himself unfulfilled somehow.
Michelangelo is a successful artist, both on paper and in the kitchen. He records himself on the internet, hoping to inspire young minds to fulfill their dreams, no matter how they may look. He prefers to try anything and everything he can, gaining many new skills and discovering new things about himself. Although his desserts were delicious, the feeling of being alone only left a sour taste in his mouth.
Neon Leon. Successful actor, known for being one of the first openly Yokai actor. He inspired other Yokai's and mutants to remove their disguises and embrace what makes them unique. Leon made the world laugh with his one liners and his comical timing. His range is crazy, going from musicals to action, his talent knows no bounds. Although he has romance on the screen, he couldn't hope for something a little more...real.
Raphael (and don't skin me for this), the sweet turtle, became a guidance counselor for trouble youths. You know those kids that throw chairs? Yeah, Raph helps them. More often than not, Raphael recommends the wrestling team, which Raph just so happens to coach. Raph's helped a lot of kids figure out how to reel in their anger and get to the root of their problems. Raph's even managed to give a few select students permission to cut class and go to the weight room if they felt too angry. But no matter how many people Raph's saved (and no matter how much Raph spoke in the third person), Raph couldn't help but feel like there was one more person he needed to help.
April O' Neal. Some say she's the greatest hands on reporter of all time. With Sunita as her partner and camerawoman, the two get dirty, discovering the real problems that people won't report. April's most successful and controversial paper, "Yokai, Mutants, and Humans, oh my!" gained incredible popularity after people read just how many Yokai and Mutants were feeling neglected. Due to April's paper, the government passed a law, allowing Yokai and Mutants to come up to the surface and reveal themselves with no prejudice. It's still an ongoing battle to give everyone the fairness they deserve, but April and Sunita O'Neil fight for justice.
(Y/n) (L/n). Oh wait! That's you! You're a kind hearted soul who's just gotten a job at the School's library. You must really love the Dewey Decimal System...oh you have a nickname for it? Wonderful...You're a creative soul with a passion for helping. You have a myriad of skills, all of which may not have helped in getting this job, but they might help in getting something else. Your day starts off, relatively normally...
Having just moved back to New York after living in the Hidden City for five years was...different, to say the least. Saying goodbye to the nice old tortoise Yokai you had been staying with, you headed out, bags in hand. "Bye, Mrs. Shapiro! Call me if you need someone to water your plants!" You said, waving to the wrinkly tortoise.
"Oh, goodbye dear. I'm gonna miss you. Oh! Drop by Erin's on your way out!" The tortoise Yokai, Mrs. Shapiro, waved a long clawed hand at the you.
You nod with a smile and shut the door behind you. Heading down the street, you waved to friendly Yokai and mutants that walked past. After seeing the street clear a bit, you pulled your phone and headphones out of your pocket. Popping in the earbuds, you played your favorite playlist you found on Spotify. It was titled, 'Jammy Jams', the description being 'Songs for elite music listeners'. The playlist and many more like it, all with a theme of some sort, Studying, Building, (crime fighting?) Jogging, all came from one account by the name of Othello.
As you scrolled through the playlist, you saw the little notification. 'Othello is listening to Weird Science'. With a shrug, you tapped the notification, the song blasting through your headphones as you matched where Othello was in the song. Definitely an oldie, but it fit him...or her...or them—it fit the vibe! As you continued scrolling, adding some of the songs to your own playlists, you didn't hear the three voices yelling nor the shocked gasps of the onlookers that quickly moved out of the way.
A sudden PUSH and you were on the ground, groaning next to a stranger as Technologic blasted through your headphones.
"C'mon, Dee! He's getting away!" A turtle Yokai with dark hair in a half up, half down bun, ran in place and pointed to the direction that they needed to go. He wore an orange mask, had stickers and paint all over his shell, and in his hands sat a Kusari-fundo.
"No, no, I'm fine, Michael." The turtle Yokai next to you, (Dee?), stood up so suddenly, you thought he teleported. He wore a purple mask that wrapped around his head, his-tech goggles sitting on top. On his arms were multiple hi-tech screens and buttons that wrapped around his arms on large bands. Looking on the ground, he spotted his phone and your own, both faced down. He quickly swiped one up, and tucked it in his pocket, "May this be a lesson never to text while running!" The turtle pointed up at the sky almost heroically.
"You crashed into me!" You said defensively.
The turtle Yokai made a noise of surprise and looked down at you, as if suddenly noticing you for the first time. "I was actually referring to me." He muttered, coughing awkwardly. Without warning, two metal arms came out of his...shell? It had to be a shell, right? But it was more purple and armor like. The cold metal of the arms shook you out of your thoughts as they lifted you onto your feet.
"Oh, uh, thanks." You said, now just as awkward as the Yokai in front of you. "Don't you have to—" you pointed your thumb behind you, where the other turtle was freaking out.
"Donnie!" The orange clad turtle whined.
"Right." With a bit of showmanship, the purple clad turtle picked up your unlocked phone off the ground and handed it to you. As you took it, you noticed how he made sure your fingers did not touch. "Adieu, madam." He gave a slight bow and left, joining his accomplice in their efforts.
You giggled as he left, the whole interaction being odd. You looked down at your phone, the screen dimming. You tapped it to ensure it stayed unlocked and reopened Spotify...except, why were the apps in a different format? And your headphones were cutting out, and the background is different, and...what's the use? You know the truth, you switched your phone.

HAIII mootie :3!! I just got back from an ✨ ExHaUsTiNG ✨ day (literally, I was on the verge of sleeping but still ofc reading you’re hc one shots) and I had this idea for one shot!! My mind will NOT sleep if i don’t type this request (pls send help/j)
Okie!! It’s Rottmnt x female sibling reader (ALL PLATONIC) , so this is the scenario!! The Reader is the Kemp's ridley sea turtles and they are the youngest, they maybe small! But they are strong, thanks to the training her brothers would give her! Alright, so she’s the only one who goes to schools thanks to the cloak (sunita gave to her since it was a spare one) she got a into a fight with another girl because the girl would call her a ‘freak’ because she would talk about her brothers being hero’s, and mutants!! But the girl started it tbh, so they’re fighting and reader is not beating the crap out of them she’s hitting her slightly but the girl took it TOO far and picked up a pair of scissors and CUT READERS HAIR!! (Like they cut it to make it short like a boys haircut yk?) And reader would just start balling and FINALLY a teacher would come in and bring them to the nurse first then the principals office and the principal called the brothers (+Casey JR, and April if you can!) , if you’re wondering why they first got in a fight anyways is because like the girl got mad at reader for talking too much to her friends and pulled her hair and… you know the rest happened.
AND THEY STORMED IN (with their cloaks on ofc) they’re fuming because reader loves her hair it would make her so happy!! The brothers would play with it, help brush it etc. But I would like HC’s of them reacting to that please?
Take as much time as you need, dear!!/p (platonically)
Hope you don’t mind I took this kind of in my own direction 🫶🏻
ROTTMNT x Sister! Reader
fluff! :D, comfort?, Sister! Fem! Reader, mild swearing
Rise! Donnie, Mikey, Leo, Raph x Fem! Sister! Reader
Tumblr media
Donatello and Michelangelo were sitting in front of the TV in your living room playing a video game when the heard the front door creak open and the familiar clack of your favorite shoes.
“Y/N?” Mikey called out, only taking his eyes away from the game to check the time quickly, “You’re home early.”
They heard your sobbing as you sniffled and whipped their heads to look at you.
You were pretty scuffed up, with a few fresh, developing bruises scattered on mostly your legs but a few on your arms. And your hair! Your beautiful, prized hair was all chopped up.
“Oh mi gosh! Y/N, what happened to you?” Mikey jumped up and practically teleported to you, placing his hands on your arms and looking you over.
“This- this girl in- in my-“ You hiccuped, desperately wiping away your tears.
Mikey pulled you against his plastron, shushing you, “It’s ok, I’m right here. Just focus on calming down.”
Mikey looked at Donnie from over your shoulder, sharing a ‘what the fuck?’ look. He carefully led you over the couch, sitting down next to you and rubbing your back.
After a few moments of taking deep breaths and your breathing turning back to normal, Donnie spoke up. “Now, Y/N. What happened?”
“I- I was talking to my friend in the lunch line, and- and I was telling her about how my brothers are..are heroes. And this girl in my grade, Abigail, she- she called me a freak. So, I stood up for myself like you guys taught me..and she hit me, so I hit her back. Then she- Then she cut my hair.” You spoke quickly with a shaky voice, raking your fingers through your messy, choppy hair.
“WHAT?!” Donnie and Mikey shouted in unison.
“Y/N, what? Where was a teacher during all of this?” Donnie was furious, but not at you. Mikey kept rubbing your back in soothing circles.
“I don’t- The principal just told me to give you this and for you to sign it..” You slipped your backpack from your shoulders, unzipping it and pulling out a paper.
“Su..suspended?!” Donnie and Mikey both leaned over your shoulder to read the contents on the page. “For fighting? That wasn’t fighting, that was self defense!” Mikey scoffed, crossing his arms.
Donnie took a deep breath, glancing back up at you. “Y/N…do you think this ‘Abigail’ girl deserved it?”
“Mhm. I wasn’t even doing anything to her. She started it, I swear!”
“Then you shouldn’t have been suspended!” Mikey said.
You looked back over to him with a nod, “I know! Don’t tell me that-“
Donnie interjected, “No, No. We are going to talk to the school. This is injustice!”
“Yeah! This is unethical! Incredulous!” Mikey agreed.
"Unfair! Unreasonable! Outrageous! We shall NOT stand for such atrocity!" Donnie yelled while standing up.
“Yep. I agree.” Mikey nodded, keeping his arms crossed.
"I say, we march up to the principal right now and make them undo this blasphemy! WHO'S WITH ME?!" Donnie yelled while pointing out to the rest of the house.
Mikey hesitated, “…it’s just you and me, D.”
"I SAID, WHO'S WITH ME?" Donnie repeated.
“OH, I mean- YYEEAAAHHH!!” Mikey cheered with him, throwing one hand in the air with the other on your back.
"HELL YEAH!" Donnie took his phone out and started dialing the principal's number.
Mikey turned his attention to you, leaving Donnie to take care of business. “Y/N, you didn’t deserve this, ok?” He tried to reassure you with a smile while running a hand through your short, chopped-up hair.
“I just don’t understand why…I wasn’t doing anything wrong, was I?” You looked up at him.
Mikey shook his head no, “Of course not. You were just being yourself. Some people are just hateful for no reason, ok? Try not to let her get you. It’s obvious she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” Donnie was yelling in the background, but you were too focused on Mikey to make out what was being said…most likely something that shouldn’t be repeated anyways.
“But…but my hair.” You started to tear up again but Mikey was quick to wipe them away before they could fall.
“It’ll grow back! You still look beautiful. We just need to…touch it up is all.” Mikey was trying his best to cheer you up.
After he finished calling, Donnie put his phone on the coffee table and sat back down on the couch next to you. "There. We march at dawn."
“Yeah! You show ‘em!” Mikey cheered, clapping.
"Indeed I will. They'll rue the day they suspended my little sister! RUE IT!” Donnie huffed.
“What is with all the yelling- woah.” Leo stopped dead in his tracks in the doorway as he took in your present condition.
Mikey shot him a look that said ‘don’t say a goddamn thing.’
“W-wow..Y/N, I really like the, um- the new look…” Leo laughed nervously, walking over cautiously.
Donnie narrowed his eyes at Leo, “Some little heathen cut Y/N’s hair at school today.”
“What?! That’s terrible!” Leo shoved Donnie to the side to take his spot next to you. He observed the straggly mess of hair left on your head.
Donnie opened his mouth to yell at Leo, but decided for your sake to just let it go this one time.
“Yeah! And Y/N got suspended for defending herself.” Mikey added, huffing.
“Y/N GOT SUSPENDED?” Raph yelled from the doorway of the living room, making you, Mikey, and Leo jump in surprise.
Raph stood there, shocked, as he waited for an answer.
You were about to speak before Mikey beat you to it, “It wasn’t her fault, Raph! She was attacked! All she did was stand up for herself.”
“Attacked?” Raph raised an eyebrow. Well, at least the area where an eyebrow would be. He got closer and saw your tear-stained cheeks, your cut-up, ruined hair, and your disheveled appearance and his expression immediately softened into a frown.
“Awww, come here! Let Raphie hold you!” Your oldest brother spoke to you in a babying voice, lifting you by your armpits and pulling you close to him, “it’s ok. Raphie’s here.”
“Raph! You’re scaring her!” Mikey stood up.
“No, I am not.” He scoffed.
“Guys! Just relax, we’ll get this all figured out-“ Leo spoke calmly, trying to keep everybody calm.
Donnie cleared his throat, “If you had allowed me to explain further before you viciously shoved me, you would know I have already spoken with the school.”
Leo looked at him in surprise, “why didn’t you start with that?!”
Donnie gasped in offense, “I tried! But you pushed-“
“Enough!” Raph snapped, still holding you in his arms and petting your head.
“Stop fighting! Y/N needs us.” Mikey shoved Leo gently.
You couldn’t even get a word in through all this chaos and panic so you just grumbled into Raph’s shoulder.
“First things first, boys.” Raph spoke up, “let’s get you cleaned up, Y/N.”
There was silence for a moment before Leo brought up a good point, “…Do any of us know how to cut hair?”
Silence.
Donnie sighs, picking his phone back up from the table, “I’ll call April.”

Rottmnt x human sister reader, splinter decides she should go to a human high school so she could be around her own kind and learn more. And the bros are all pretty protective over this and are worried about her being in human school.
I’m trying out a new header style! Tell me if you enjoy it or if I should go back to the color strips!
Summary: Reader goes to school, hell ensues
TW: vomiting, a nasty panic attack in a public space, talk of animals insides

Study Sessions
Tumblr media
You stared at your father as he called a family meeting, usually, these go horribly wrong. Especially as of recently, when your father decided that you, the youngest and the only girl (other than your older sister, April) should go to school…and not the school Donnie and (as of recent) Draxum have been teaching. No, human school. A human high school. You sat down at the table and hugged your knees to your chest, Donnie leaning on the wall, Raph and Leo sitting in the chairs and Mikey sitting on the counter. Splinter smiled but before he could speak Red spoke “ Pops- if this is about school I’m sure Donnie could teach her about algebra and..whatever else human kids learn! “ Donnie snarked “ I could teach her rocket science! “ Splinter nodded “ I’m sure you could purple but, she needs to be with other humans, learn to socialize “ you looked away as he slid papers on the table “ April’s parents did me a favor and enrolled her with Casey Jr! “ you felt doom and anxieties cloud your chest, you took the papers and read it, the papers were illegal documents that Donnie made…you read through each line before getting your schedule. How fun. It was seven classes a day with each class being an essential skill…apparently. What I’m the actual fuck is Home Ec.
The next few weeks came quicker than anticipated. Donnie made you and Casey matching bracelets, they were emergency bracelets (ignoring that your ninpō could just…tell them if something was wrong). And of course they were genius tech! He was making an empire after all! You did clothes shopping with April and also learned how to be socially acceptable with not only April's help, but also Sunita…and finally, the dreaded day. You and Casey stood shoulder to shoulder and stared at the high school, it was bustling, a few interesting faces but mostly everyone already knew each other. There was a larger group, of about seven people. You noted how one had a pretty sapphire necklace and a prosthetic arm that was so fluid it rivaled Donnie’s own he made for Leo. You gave Casey a hopeful smile and walked into the high school, you were immediately overstimulated. Going from a rather empty sewer to a high school was anxiety filling. A blonde haired girl bumped into you, when you turned to apologize for being in her way she immediately apologized. She was probably 5 '6 with sea green eyes and blonde hair “ my names Nyssa, you two seem a bit lost- do you need some help? “ Casey immediately nodded, Nyssa smiled and held out her hand “ oh right! They/Them! "Oops. You smiled and spoke your name, Casey following your lead. Nyssa led you two to your first class “ Your schedules are exactly the same, I didn’t know they could do that. You may get separated when testing comes up, you could be boosted into honors or lowered to just skills class “ Nyssa stopped at the first door. How amazing, math at 8 AM.
When the class finished you saw the white haired boy meet up with a brown haired girl with a tiger eye brooch. All the jewelry you’ve been seeing was very similar to Sunitas cloaking device, the brown haired girl seemed to be a senior based on how old she looked and sounded. You smiled and led Casey to your other classroom. Science.. how lovely, you knew you’d get this fine. Casey had a bit less of knowledge than you, they didn’t exactly have a need for schooling in the apocalypse. While you…well your brain has been nurtured by your older brother since the both of your youth. You could speak four different languages fluently, you could do some math that college students learn, you could do most things. Your biggest problem? American history. You learned Japanese history, your father telling you myths and legends that he learned. And you knew a bit of history from China. A sudden electrical feeling ran through you and Casey, it was simply a blue warmth, less like a fire or a sun and more like an electric heat. You were more than happy to welcome it into your ninpō, walking with it through your science class. It was simple biology, you slept through most of it with Casey and answered any questions sent your way. It left soon after second period and left you alone during third.
Then it was time for your language class…you spoke flawlessly, holding a full conversation with the teacher in Spanish before halfway switching to Japanese to see if the teacher could too. He couldn’t. Casey suddenly spoke up next to you and you turned, the two of you happily chattering in Japanese, sometimes clicking at each other before you realized that was weird, so you continued in Japanese. Yes, both you and Casey are fluent in the “ turtle language “ but shhh that doesn’t matter. Language class moved quickly and then off to fourth. You met Nyssa again, they said hello as you sat down next to Casey in biology. It was announced that you’ll be dissecting something. When you questioned what the teacher smiled “ oh! we’ll be dissecting something super exciting tomorrow, a red eared slider! “ you felt queasy. Quickly shooting up your hand to ask for the restroom, you sped off and found yourself emptying your stomach in the school hallway, a trash can in your hold, your ninpō going crazy and altering not only all of your brothers of your panicking but also a feeling…someone who was spewing mystic energy somewhere in this school, and no, it wasn’t Draxum. His mystic powers felt a certain…way. It wasn’t long before Casey found you and rubbed your back. The feeling of Raphs sturdy ninpō wrapping around your panicking one helped calm you down. You breathed and wiped your mouth with a sanitary wipe Donnie was demanding you keep with you. Slowly you and Casey went back to class, you still looked clammy and jumpy as you sat down and looked anywhere but the board that was a display of snapping turtles insides, Casey was holding it together, but barely. Like an overstuffed suitcase. The bell soon rang after that.
You made your way to lunch where you spoke to Draxum a bit and then was swept away by Nyssa. Brought to a table with the same few interesting people you’ve seen that day. When you really got closer to them, most of the jewelry was spewing mystic energy…cloaking devices. The brown haired senior was named Bellezza, there was a tan girl with short curly hair and a seal coat named Öskra, a blonde senior with blue eyes named River, she had a opal gemstone in a choker on her neck. A brown haired girl named Ésme who shared a ruby ring with the white haired boy (whom you learned was named Mason) and was the only one who didn’t buzz with mystic energy. And the last person, a black haired boy with burgundy eyes named Alexander, he had a garnet bracelet on. They all seemed to be able to pick up on your free flowing ninpō, and how it was prickling from previous panic. You were stuck close to Casey as you rested through lunch, your ninpō reaching and searching for two in particular. One that kind of felt like Mc Donald’s sprite and the electrical warmth. They both responded immediately, their ninpōs like two cats curling around a scared kitten. Your ninpō is the metaphorical kitten.
You didn’t eat lunch that day, moving into fifth period, ELA. The teacher gave you a free period and you simply slept. Your lashes attached to your cheek before you woke up with a startled noise, your eyes wide before looking up. There was your purple clad brother, staring at you as you looked at the ceiling tiles. You glared at him, before looking around and getting yourself into the roof quickly “ what are you doing here?! “ you hissed “ I’m just seeing how my dear sister is doing! and if this school is really better than my teachings! '' you sighed “ it’s super easy right now- “ Donnie laughed “ of course it is! He said confidently “ you smiled at your brother and sighed “ How’s everyone holding up at home? '' Donnie hummed “ Nardo has been fighting Raph to not just portal in this school and hunt you down. I didn’t let him come! “ you stared at him dead panned “ and you can? '' Donnie stared and then slowly backed away into the shadows of the dusty air vent. You dropped down quietly after that and slipped back into your seat, knocking dust off yourself. The bell rang again…god you were tired of that damn bell. Time for sixth period.
Next was a world history class. The teacher had turtles as a class pet, you were immediately drawn to them. Casey watched as you quietly chirped and rumbled at them. The turtles craning their heads closer to you as you made noises at them, their quiet voices responding. You quickly scampered to your seat, far away from Casey. Squished between two boys that made your ninpō scream and demand you return to Casey’s side, anxieties pulling your brain into mush. The teacher put on a video about ancient Egyptian mythology. Stuff you already knew. Your eyes grew heavy as you fell asleep, halfway through your rest the sound of a large bang startled you awake.
You whipped back with a noise and fell out of your chair. Backing up a bit, you didn’t see a classroom. You saw the tunnels, kraang infested as they chased you and your brothers. Raph missing. That was your whole mission, to retrieve your oldest brother. Leo and Casey Jr got separated. Mikey and Donnie hid in the tank. Leaving you, to get stolen away. You fumbled and looked around for something, anything to fight the kraang. Someone grabbed your arm and you started hitting it, the arm didn’t relent, it was softly pulling you away from the tunnel. The whole…incident… was traumatic for you. any really, everyone. You, Casey, Raph, and Leo got the nastiest of the flashbacks. The yokai therapist that the family got said they were classified as panic attacks. Even as the soft arms pushed you to the floor you continued hitting and thrashing, pausing when the feeling of something wrapping around your ninpō entered your brain. Your body is basically shocked to real life. Casey was holding you by your arms, you had hot tears running down your face and hurt vocal cords. You stared at him and blinked before letting out a quiet sob and leaning forward, him just holding you throughout the entirety of sixth period.
You guys didn’t go to seventh period. You just sat in the corner of a hallway and breathed, at some point the same blonde senior, River, came and sat down with you two. And after that? Mason, the albino boy, and Bellezza the senior with auburn hair joined her. They were all siblings, Casey theorized that they were wolf yokai based on how they flocked like a pack. Seventh period ended quickly, when April came to get you guys she immediately noticed the tense mood from you two, walking back to the sewers…she could only wonder how the brothers would react. When the three of you walked in, Raph was the first to notice you being back, he looked at your and Casey’s sour faces and lowered his snout so it rested on your head and hugged you, chuffing hard enough your entire body vibrated. You made small similar noises, but they were weak and halfhearted. Raph was so worried about what happened to you at school. Leo and Donnie soon returned to the main area and joined the upwards cuddle session, Casey and April being pulled into it as they all wrapped around Raph to feel his churrs, Mikey soon attaching to Raphs shells and starting to chur as well, you forgot how amazing it felt to be held like this. You took off your cloaking device and the scars that were hidden from the public eye became known. Oh how much they wanted to ask about school, why your ninpō wailed in pain, why your chirps that normally sounded so nice were half hearted and deflated

In My Arms │ ROTTMNT Leo x Reader
Cross-posted in Ao3
Summary: Leo's arms are the safest place in the entire world.
Warnings: Angst, Hurt no Comfort
1324 words
▸▸▸🍜▸▸▸
It was all a mess; everything was so frantic, urgent shouts and worried whispers among your crowd. You can’t keep up in every turn, cracks and energy flowing around you. Despite being a civilian, you were thrusted in the very front of the fight that you don’t know whether you’ll come alive after or not.
Today was supposed to be a beautiful day. After finishing your assignments, wanting to hang out with April, Cass and Sunita then ending your day with your beloved Leonardo and his family, you expect more of a calm and sweet day to spend time around your favorite people. Not being passed down like a ragdoll, keeping you safe and away from the clutches of this alien they call themselves the Krang Prime. It becomes a sadistic game that the alien enjoys, keeping you safe as Leo and his brothers fight against them. Truthfully, it's making you dizzy with all the back and forth shielding but it seems that the Krang Prime recognizes you as the turtles’ weakness, especially to the blue one, focusing on making sure to either give you injuries or worse, kill you. 
Being in the middle of an alien invasion wasn’t in your to-do list for today. 
After being wrapped by Mikey’s kusari-fondo and taking you far enough from them, nobody noticed a crack swimming towards your footing. As their senses sharpened for trouble, Krang Prime suddenly slammed their metallic foot down, surprising all the turtles and you. The warriors were confused at the alien’s actions but continued to fight nonetheless, you however hear small cracks beneath you. Not satisfied, the alien stomped their foot again, this time not only breaking the floor beneath you but also making you stumble backwards into the open air. 
You realized you’re falling; in panic you shouted his name. His heart jumps from the sight of your falling and scared figure, quickly running towards you. Leo ignored his brothers’ calls as he solely focused on you, now jumping at the edge of the building. No hesitation for his safety, only yours. 
As your body keeps falling, he frantically opens portal after portal to come near you, even by an inch to your raised hand. He was stupid to not portal you out from the harm’s way sooner! Now he’s doing his best to not fail you. Not you, not to you.
Even as you fall there is this peace between you, while your heart beats frantically from danger, your mind settled on something. You heard your beloved whisper, “I got you okay!” Despite having a slight tremor in his voice, it doesn’t waver your hope to him. You never gave up on his eccentric yet good intentions. You know he got you; he always does. No matter what the odds both of you face, he’s always there to keep you near him. You are safe as long as you are in his arms, and he in yours.
You felt your feet being roughly grabbed up to a glowing blue, all of its mystical elements comforting you momentarily. The rush of air as you feel yourself being suspended. That slight disturbance, the slight wrongness in movement, the slight accidental of the placement of your head to a surface you both didn’t account for. The taste of salt, and iron and you felt pain somewhere in your head.
Quickly, he opens a portal near you as his hand grabs what he can reach. As he feels your warmth on his, he knew he didn’t mess up. He didn’t disappoint himself in saving you, he didn’t disappoint you.
If only he didn’t mess up. If only before engaging to Krang Prime, he transported you far away from all the mess, maybe in April and Splinter's side. If only Mikey was not occupied and might save you with his weapon. If only he did not mess up, again. Again, and again, and again. Again.
Again, he doubts himself. 
No, he shouldn't. He caught you! 
Your favorite sneakers caught in his hands. Well-worn and beautiful, always beautiful no matter what you dress and what you style. Giving every chance to compliment you, and you giving all of it back more. Leo started crying in relief as he carefully pulled your body into him, supporting your torso and hugging you tightly. Traveling away, he walks down the sidewalk filled with rubble and broken glasses. Tightly hugging you as your warmth comforts him. You are safe.
You are safe, back within his arms.
"You keep falling to me huh? Guess I'm that charming," chuckling to ease his nervousness and calming you down. He did it! You’re safe and back in his arms. Your nails lightly scratching his plastron and your nose pressing underneath his chin. You are safe. You are safe. You---
Are you breathing?
You remain silent, not moving despite the lack of danger. You don't cry and you don't grumble. Not even a groan or giggle on his joke, not a peep from you. 
Slowly revealing your face, you are peaceful. Almost sleeping. Maybe the adrenaline was too much, and you fainted? Yeah, that must be it, right? Right?
At first, he was hesitant in shaking you. He does not want to add more stress on you, but you need to see him. He needs to see you! Frantic, he shakes you like rocking a baby in a lullaby. From careful to desperate, even carefully slapping you to wake you up. Nothing was happening, you were still sleeping. He panics again, this is worse than before.
You're in his arms but why does it seem you're still miles away from him. 
"Hey! Hey babe, this is not funny! I know that you hate some of my flirting but right now I need to hear you groan! Or snicker! Even an insult! Anything! Just please, open your eyes!"
Hearing his distress, April slowly walks towards them. Her eyebrows furrowed from confusion as she sees Leo shaking your body. She can’t really see much other than his brother’s shoulder rising rapidly and your legs slacking above glass and concrete. She can hear the shouts from her other brothers, calling for Leo to get back into fighting and help them. It was chaotic around the scene, but she feels dread when you still don’t move.
Mikey, the ever-thoughtful brother, comes down safely from above and shakes his older brother’s shoulder. April heard Donnie’s ever helpful quip, "What's the hold up? Finish your lovey-dovey and help us here!" She can tell that the purple clad turtle is aggravated, that despite the big threat in front of them right now, his blue-clad brother chooses to coddle with his beloved. At all times.
"Come on Leo! Let her walk, man!" Raph’s booming voice above also adds to the tirade of frustration and chaos, even with the noise there was nothing coming from either Leo or you.
Worry creased between Mikey’s brows as he called for his motionless brother. His soft voice becomes the loudest towards Leo, who seems to grip your body tighter into his. 
He can feel tremors from his brother’s shoulder, hands never letting go of your body and your face becoming paler. It was strange, he’s used to seeing both of you being lovey-dovey towards each other. Always noisy with giggles and kisses, smiles permanent between your faces and your feet always swings whenever Leo carries you. 
Now your legs remain still and eyes never opening, Leo refuses to accept his biggest mistake as he slowly curves his warmth around you. Shielding your body from his failure as your hero. "Leo? Leo, what is going on?" Mikey’s scared now, scared for you, and scared for his brother.
As if the world needed to prove his mistake, a lone drop of blood shows itself from your nose. Eyes still closed and your body resting. Dead, you are dead.
In his arms, you lay stiff but remained beautiful as ever.

Hi I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your writing. What if the turtles got cloaking broches and wanted to show their partner, and the partner was like “yeah you’re pretty as a human but I miss your markings/stripes etc.”?
Cloaking broach (rottmnt x reader)
summary: reader and turtle’s reaction to seeing him in human form for the first time.
relationship: Rise Leo, Raph, Mikey, Donnie x GN reader (separate) 
warnings: simping ✊😔, innuendos? sort of? nothing spicy or anything but idk it’s a different tone than my usual stuff XD, i guess it still counts as fluffy ending tho
word count: 1.9k
A/N: ty for the kind words anon! i have to say i went kinda hard on the simp reader here but can you blame me? this ended up being 100% self-indulgent lmao check the human designs i used for this one under the cut and you’ll understand 🫡 still, i hope it’s to your liking ;;w;;
(english is not my first language. constructive criticism and grammar corrections are very appreciated!)
— — —
for this one i wanted to give you guys a visual lol for the human!turtles: i’ll be using these designs by @redbeanp13 (source), who was kind enough to let me use them :D the drawing below is by @soldrawss (source) whose art you should really check out because it’s top tier 😤👌
Tumblr media
with that settled, let's get to it~
— — —
The turtle made his way to your apartment, moving swiftly between the buildings, unable to hold in his excitement. He had borrowed a cloaking broach from Sunita, and he wanted you to be there when he transformed for the first time. After all, he hoped you’d like how he looked. 
When he got to your place and explained the situation, you suddenly got nervous. You had never even thought about him as a human, and while you were certainly curious, you also felt strangely uneasy. What if he was shocked about how he looked? What if he was disappointed because it wasn’t like he expected? On the other hand… What if he looked even better? What were you supposed to do with that knowledge after he turned back to his turtle self?
You shook your head to rid yourself of those thoughts, focusing instead on the almost child-like glee your boyfriend had, waiting for you to join him in front of your full-length mirror.
Giving him a nod, he was just about to place the broach on his strap when you spoke, suddenly remembering a very important aspect of the transformation.
“Wait!” you stopped him, holding up your hands, and he looked at you slightly irritated but waited for you to continue, as he saw how flushed your face looked all of a sudden. “How does the whole clothes aspect work? Will you have those or will you transform, like… naked?”
“Why, would you like to see that?” he teased you.
You didn’t nod nor shake your head, instead only bringing up your hands to cover your face.
“I’m just kidding” he laughed and placed a hand on your shoulder reassuringly, giving it a bit of a squeeze. “The broach gives you the clothes you imagine, so no worries.”
“Right…” you replied sheepishly, uncovering your face. “Let’s see it then.”
And with that the turtle placed the broach on the strap around his torso, and got engulfed in a greenish smoke.
🔵 Leo
When he emerged, he was smug about it.
You blinked a couple of times, trying to process what you saw.
There were a lot of feelings happening. 
Meanwhile he quite literally checked himself out in the mirror.
He had no shame about it. 
You ran your hands through his hair, and the new sensation startled him, but he didn't pull back.
It felt kinda nice actually.
You traced over his face; his stripes had translated into scars and birthmarks of sorts.
As you were admiring his facial features, Leo suddenly pulled you closer by the waist, leaning in, and stopped just before your lips touched, quietly asking if he could kiss you. You replied by closing the distance.
The kiss felt different and yet the same, as it still was Leo in front of you. Again, your hands came up to run through his hair, lightly tugging at the base of the neck, which made him softly groan into the kiss. At the unexpected sound you pulled back and looked at him with big eyes and heated cheeks.
“I could get used to that” he said with his signature grin, and quickly pecked your nose. 
“So, you like it?” Leo asked, placing his arm over your shoulder and pulling you into his side, so you stood next to each other, facing the mirror.
“I mean… yes? You do still look very handsome” you replied, and trailed off, biting your bottom lip, as if hesitating to continue. He gave you a soft smile through the mirror.
“But?”
“I don’t know, it’s like there’s something missing? Your half-moon markings that bring out your eyes, the stripes that seem to glow in the light, your whole ninja-ness. This feels like more of a costume than anything else… I like you in green; it feels realer.”
His gaze suddenly softened, looking vulnerable for a split second. That was not the reply he was expecting, but maybe deep inside the one he was hoping for. 
“I do like the hair though” you said to go back to your banter. “And it looks like you finally can get a good posture without the shell.”
“Hey!” Leo gasped in mock offence, and you stuck out your tongue at him. “Turtle or not, I can still totally kick your butt!”
You had no time for a clever remark, as he was already playfully tackling you to the ground, with you squealing and trying to get out of his grasp to evade his relentless tickling.
🔴 Raph
He was still tall, almost as tall as his turtle form. 
Just not as big.
Which was kinda weird to see.
As if there was a part of him missing in the space before you.
You hugged him and could almost reach around his back, which was impossible in his turtle form.
Also he was warm for once, which was nice.
As you were hugging him, his arms also wrapped around your form.
That’s when you noticed.
He was so soft.
“So, what do you think?” he asked at your reflection in the mirror.
You pulled back from the hug and just stared at his chest for a second. His chest was usually rather hard because of the plaster, even though it was quite flexible for him to move in. Still, you couldn’t help but wonder.
Without saying anything you gingerly placed your hands on his chest, making him slightly flinch, a violent blush spreading on his face and neck.
“This is gonna sound so weird” you said, unable to look him in the eye. “But can I… feel you?”
“Ah- Uhm- Sure.” Raph went a little stiff, unsure of what you were about to do.
Your hands traced his chest, which was still rather firm; you assumed his muscles still were present in this form. Then your fingers slowly wandered down to his tummy, which was softer, and to the sides, where you softly pinched his hip, making him squeak in surprise. You took a deep breath to recover from the sheer adorableness of his reaction, and made a mental note of doing it again in the future if you had the chance.
“So… You like it?” he asked after you seemed satisfied with your exploring.
“To be honest? Yes and no” you replied, going back to hugging him and talking to his reflection with your cheek smushed against his chest. 
“I like that I can hug you like this and almost reach around you without the spikes. I like how warm and soft you feel” you explained and he smiled. “But I also really like green and spiky Raph, who is so very gentle with me and makes me feel safe.”
Raph’s arms tightened around you, giving you a kiss on the top of your head.
“Maybe we can borrow the broach in winter for cuddles?” he suggested, slightly swaying you from side to side. Now that was a compromise you could get behind. 
🟠 Mikey
The only way to describe how he looked was adorable.
Since he was more petite and lighter, you figured you could give him a piggyback ride for once.
You also loved that he went with a colourful outfit and lots of accessories.
It suited him very well.
And you couldn’t get over his freckles, they were too cute!
For a while, you both just stood there curiously looking at all the details in the mirror. 
Then Mikey took your hand in his.
“Whoa, so this is what it’s like to have 5 fingers!” he exclaimed, intertwining your fingers with his. You had to admit, it felt pretty nice. 
While he admired his digits alongside yours, with your other hand you ruffled his hair, to which he snorted.
“That feels so weird” he laughed.
“But I bet I know what will feel nice!” you said, letting go of his hand and bringing both of yours up to softly massage his scalp. 
“Oh, oh wow” Mikey basically melted away as you worked your fingers through his hair from the top of his head to the back of his neck, being careful not to get tangled in his locks. He just stood there in pure bliss, with his eyes closed. So when you were done, you couldn’t help yourself from giving him a quick peck on his lips.
He blinked a couple of times, coming out of his stupor.
“You think you could do that even when I don’t have hair?” he asked. You told him to remind you of doing so whenever he wanted. He thanked you and went in for a hug; that's when you realised there was one more thing you could do with his non-turtle self.
Without much of a warning, you bent down ever so slightly to reach under his thighs, and lifted him up with a ‘whoop!’. Mikey held onto your shoulders and instinctively wrapped his legs around your torso. You gave him a smug smile.
“This is new” Mikey commented, an ever so light blush adorning his cheeks, and you tightened your hold on him so he wouldn’t fall. 
“Is it nice?” you asked. If Mikey nuzzling his face into your neck was anything to go by, you’d guess that it was. 
You both knew he loved being held, especially by his brothers, so now that you could do it, he’d never want to let go. 
🟣 Donnie
The only way to describe your internal reaction: that anime gif 
You blushed heavily when you saw his human form.
He was too handsome for the world to see.
“It’s too much power, he’s too dangerous” you thought.
You tried to keep your cool, you really did.
He had somehow managed to bring out his bad boy persona perfectly, without losing the nerd touch. 
Seeing your reaction, he gave you a knowing grin through the mirror, resting his arm on your shoulder.
“So, what do we think?” he asked with a mock nonchalant tone. “I’d love to hear your current thought process in depth.”
“Shut up” you muttered under your breath, shoving his arm off so you could face him. You looked at him for a second, then reached up to cup his face in your hands. Now it was his turn to blush, and you gave him a smirk of your own as you realised something. You didn’t wanna ruin the moment, but you just couldn’t help yourself.
“Look at you, a real boy with real eyebrows!” you cood. Donnie scoffed.
“Don’t ‘Pinocchio’ me” he retorted, but leaned into your touch. It was a somewhat unfamiliar sensation for him too, his skin being different and all.
“May I…?” you asked, gingerly stroking his cheekbone with your thumb, silently asking for permission to further touch around his face, knowing that he wasn’t a fan of that. Deciding to make today the exception, he gave you a short nod.
“How do you feel?” you asked, this time for real, as you further inspected his face and all the features he didn’t have as a turtle: nose, ears, lips, the little freckles speckled around his cheeks. 
“To be honest? Kinda like a wet noodle” he replied, earning a chuckle from you. “I feel way too exposed. Too much soft flesh… everywhere. On the outside. I don’t know how you can walk outside like this every day.” You just gave him a sympathetic smile and hummed. 
Once you were done with your inspection, you withdrew from Donnie, giving him one last once-over.
“Well, that was a fun experiment” you concluded. “But I feel like your human form lacks a certain… mad scientist factor, if you will.”
Donnie agreed and took off the broach, albeit correcting you with a “not mad, just science”.
