Ships: Leo x April

(Part 2 is now available!)

“A sleepover? Guys, that’s all we’ve been having since my dad was captured that one time.” April chuckled, typing away at her laptop. This was the third time they had asked her to stay over since Shredder had been defeated. Casey was adamant and said that his family needed his support. April, on the other hand, just wasn’t bothered half the time. “Besides I’ve got stuff to do.”

“Stuff we could easily help with.” Donatello interjected, smiling down at the girl. “If it’s homework I can provide assistance.” 

“If you can stand the voice of a dweeb longer than an hour.” Raph snickered before Donnie smacked the back of his head, and the two began to bicker.

“I dunno…” April looked away from her laptop to glance around the group, her gaze landing on Leo. “What do you think?” Leo, taken fairly off-guard by this, chuckled sheepishly.

“Well, I wasn’t really invested in this plan to begin with. You’ve got stuff to do and we’ve got stuff to do. But…" Leo looked away from both April and his brothers. “If you haven’t got anything next weekend… I wouldn’t mind if you stayed over, you don’t have to of course—”

“Alright,” April responded. The group stared at her in surprise. “Well, what the leader says, goes. Isn’t that the saying?” Leo shrugged, grinning a bit. Raph threw his hands up in the air.

“That’s all it took? Leo’s blessing?” Raph said in exasperation, to which April raised a brow in response.

“Better than yours. I’d be worried for my safety if you gave me any type of blessing.” April retorted, a slight smirk on her face.

“Touché.”

---

“Wow, you guys went all out, huh?” April stared wide-eyed at the dojo. Futons were covering the floor, with Mikey already lying on one and playing games on his T-Phone. “You didn’t have to.”

“Oh, we know that,” Raph grumbled, squeezing past her as he went to sit down on his futon. “It was Mikey’s idea.” Mikey’s giggles could be heard quietly in the background. April heaved her bag over to the futon next to Mikey and plopped it down. She only vaguely registered that Leo’s comics were neatly stacked on the futon beside hers.

“Oh good, you’re here!” Donnie chimed, walking into the dojo and grinning at the redhead. “Sorry, I was busy in my lab. Did you bring your homework?” April nodded, removing her laptop from its case and opening it. The lanky turtle sat beside her, and they began chatting.

Leo entered the dojo a short time later. He gave April a warm smile - which she happily returned - and sat down on her other side before picking up one of the comics and quietly reading. Time passed as usual, with Raph and Mikey leaving to watch the Slugman Marathon. At the same time, Donnie and - at some points - Leo stayed to help April with her homework.

“Pizza time~!” Mikey called out from the lair’s entrance, to which both Donnie and Leo looked up and furrowed their brows. “I also paid for it!” They relaxed, looking back over April’s shoulders to see her screen.

“Did you guys discuss what pizzas you were getting with Mikey or—”

“He probably bought one of each.” April looked mortified, and Donnie quickly rephrased his sentence. “What I mean is— He probably bought the basic pizzas. Marguerite, meat-lovers, pineapple… that sort of thing.” The girl nodded, still slightly concerned with the decision to leave Mikey in control of ordering dinner. Seeing her expression, Donnie stood up and grinned at the pair still on the ground. “Don’t worry. I’ll see if he bought too much.”

Feeling reassured, Leo and April watched the other leave before once again resuming April’s studies. There was brief silence until April scooched closer to Leo to make it easier for him to see. Only this move completely derailed the turtle’s train of thought. They’d been close before, but not like this. The fuzzy feeling made him worry. There was space around them to sit, but April chose to sit there.

April, who, for the most part, had been entirely focused on the Russian Revolution, sensed a change in Leo’s emotional state. She glanced around the room for a reason to which she found none. She soon found herself staring up at the turtle, who seemed not to notice as he was too busy staring at his feet.

“Leo.” The turtle jolted harshly and hastily looked over at April. 

“I-I’m here! What’s up? Need help with something?” He asked, noticing that April had leaned even closer to inspect him. “Is it something to do with the Russian Oligarchy?”

“If that’s what you’re so stressed about then sure. Let’s talk about the Russian Oligarchy.” April responded flatly. Leo began staring at his feet again. The girl leaned forward, determined to meet his eye. Leo turned his head. “Hey, don’t think you can avoid talking to someone sitting right next to you.” 

Donnie walked back into the room; he looked slightly abashed. “Mikey ordered all the basic— What are you two doing?” He had cocked his head to one side and stared at his older brother and then at April. April shrugged; she also wanted to know what was up with Leo but had gotten no helpful answers. Standing up, the girl slid her laptop back into its case and followed Donnie out of the dojo.

Leo put a hand to his cheek and grimaced.

---

“What are you doing, Mikey!” Raph yelled in exasperation as he watched his younger brother dump jelly beans on his slice of pizza. Mikey just grinned before shoving the piece into his mouth. 

Everyone disliked that. 

Regardless, the group had sat down in front of the small - somewhat busted TV - and discussed what to watch before Mikey had decided to gross everyone out. April, Leo and Raph were sitting on the steps (in that order), and the two younger turtles were sitting at their feet.

Donnie decided to get the conversation back on track. “We could watch a horror movie—” 

“Our life is a horror movie.” Raph grumbled, watching Mikey as he crammed another slice into his mouth. Leo chuckled and gave Raph a slight nod in agreement. “And I don’t need to be reminded.” April perked up.

“We could watch The Babadook. Apparently, that one’s quite good.” April suggested. The two older turtles looked curiously over at the girl. Mikey happily gave April a thumbs up - his mouth was full of jelly bean pizza which Raph was oh so aware of. “How ’bout it, guys?”

Leo shrugged. He had no idea what the movie was about, but the name sounded funky. 

“Sounds better than what the nerd had picked.” Raph snickered, flipping the page of his comic. Donnie shot him a glare. He had suggested they watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, which Mikey and Raph immediately shot down. 

“Eh why not.” Donnie sighed. “I’ll set up the hard drive.” 

The group watched as Donnie sauntered over to the TV to mess around with its wiring before focusing on Mikey’s pizza.

“How can you eat that without gagging?” April asked, genuinely curious - though inherently disgusted. 

“I ask that question everyday.” Raph said flatly. “Never gotten a sane response.” 

“That’s because there isn’t one.” Leo mused, peering at the comic over Raph’s shoulder, who quickly moved it out of view. “What– Oh, I get it. You’re reading something embarrassing aren’t you?”

“My bet is on a romance manga.” Mikey grinned, nudging Raph’s knee with his elbow. The red-clad ninja looked slightly offended and kicked his brother’s arm away.

“I thought Donnie was into those?” April gave the turtle hunched by the TV a smirk. 

“Says the girl who played a dating sim when she was supposed to be studying.” Donnie retorted, shooting a grin at April, who flinched and looked away. Suddenly she was the central focus of the group. Mikey looked utterly shocked; Leo and Raph were mildly surprised. But they were all staring… except Donnie, who had gone back to rewiring the TV.

“A dating sim?” Leo said, trying and failing to hold back his laughter. April pouted and glanced at the three sitting alongside her. They were all giggling now, much to April’s embarrassment.

“It was one time!” She insisted, to which Donnie barked out a harsh laugh. 

“Uh-huh, is that what you told Kirby when you failed Trig?” He chimed, connecting the little wifi device to the back of the TV.

“I’ll have you know that I didn’t fail!” April snapped.

“Really? Was Senpai proud of you?” At that comment, the girl flushed pink and angrily crossed her arms. He stood up and strode back to the group to sit by April’s legs. “Bet he said something really cute too.”

“What’s her type?” Raph asked, looking up from his comic to smile vaguely across at April. “Bet it’s the ‘bad boy’ who’s also a complete idiot.”

“Hm, from what I gathered she was always smiling when the ‘School Prefect’ had any dialogue.” Donnie explained. “Y’know, the teacher’s pet archetype-...” Suddenly all eyes were on Leo- or his brother’s eyes, at least. Now it was the leader’s turn to look away with a slightly irritated expression in his case.

“Knock it off, Donnie.” That was all Leo said, though his brothers started grinning maliciously. “Aren’t we going to watch the movie April picked out?”

“I dunno Leo, this is also pretty fun to watch.” Mikey snickered, turning his head to watch April, who was currently hiding her face. A well-aimed kick to the younger’s side put a stop to the embarrassing situation.

“My movie’s still on the table.” A well-aimed glare from two unimpressed siblings also put a stop to Donnie’s suggestion. “Alright! Alright… Good thing we’re sleeping in the same room I guess. Mikey won’t need to wake anyone up.”

“I don’t do that anymore!” Mikey snapped, looking extremely offended. 

“Yeah, cause we haven’t watched a Horror movie in over a month, moron. You don’t have a reason to.” Raph put down his comic and grabbed the controller out of Donnie’s hands. “Now, let’s see what this movie’s about.”

---

April had quite enjoyed the movie for a few reasons: The story was well-written, the characters were authentic, the scares had great timing, and she could sense exactly what her friends were feeling during the movie. Good thing, too; knowing that your friends are somewhat more scared than you is a pretty pleasant feeling.

Mikey had gone into a fear-induced trance and was currently stuffing his face with ice cream. Raph had remained marginally calm throughout the movie and therefore wasn’t too bothered after it had ended, whilst both Donnie and Leo were still slightly on edge. 

Deciding to have fun with this situation, April tapped Leo’s shoulder and watched him jolt. Then she tapped Donnie’s. Same reaction. Ooh, this might be fun.

“What? Is something up, April?” Donnie asked, peering up at the girl. She grinned and raised a brow. “What are you-... Oh haha, I jumped. So funny.” Raph was laughing alongside April, who had begun giggling herself.

Leo frowned at her before turning to Raph and glaring. “You’re rubbing off on her.” He said, shoving Raph’s shoulder. The younger turtle grinned. He had nothing to feel guilty about when they were both so ‘jumpy’. Why wouldn’t April want to mess around with them? Leo went to further scold the other when he felt something breathe on his neck. 

He yelped. Loudly.

April, Donnie and Raph burst out into loud cackles. They sounded akin to a pack of hyenas; even Mikey was laughing despite his prior state of uncontrolled fear. April had been the one to blow air on the back of his neck, and she looked so smug, despite the fact she was laughing hysterically. 

“Why would you do that!” Leo snapped, his face a brilliant shade of red that clashed horribly with his green scales. April was vividly reminded of Christmas at her Aunt’s house. She also thought it was rather cute. Ignoring the second thought, she pressed a finger into Leo’s chest.

“Because,” she grinned, face full of malicious pride. “It was funny.”

Leo pushed her hand away, still marginally red in the face. She looked really confident and sounded even more so. The fuzzy feeling was back.

Then their eyes locked, and April’s grin faltered. He looked adorable. The fuzzy feeling in her chest made her worry.

It made them both worry.

---

“Dudes, do we have to sleep in the dark?” Mikey complained as Donnie turned off the lights in the dojo. There came a resounding ‘yes’ from the rest of the group in response, and Mikey groaned dramatically. “You won’t even know if I’m gone!”

After a few rounds of Monopoly - all of which were won by Donnie, who was then hunted down by Raph and Mikey and tickled mercilessly in the middle of the dojo - the group finally decided to go to bed. And by ‘go to bed’, that meant getting comfortable just in case anyone passed out. No one wanted to wake up with cramps.

Currently, only Raph, Leo and Mikey were lying on their futons. Donnie was busy clearing up around the doorway so that no one tripped over in the dark while April was getting dressed in another room.

“We can tell when you get a midnight snack, Mikey.” Donnie said incredulously. “I think we’ll notice if something bad is happening to you.”

“That’s what you think!”

“I told you he wouldn’t sleep.” Raph grumbled to Leo, who nodded vaguely, too focused on his comics to fully register the conversation. Just then, April walked into the dojo wearing a nice pair of pyjamas. For once, Leo lost focus on his comics in favour of something else.

This reaction didn’t go unnoticed. Donnie had done a sweeping glance of the room to find any trip hazards and had gotten a good look at his brother’s flushed face. He looked at where Leo was staring, noticed it was April, and then stared at Raph.

His eyes were wide. 

Raph had the distinct feeling that someone was staring at him. He glanced around and quickly noticed Donnie’s wide eyes, which looked incredibly unnerving when dimly illuminated by some sparsely lit candles. Cringing, he shot Donnie a questioning expression. The lanky turtle nodded towards Leo, to which Raph turned his attention.

Leo was currently watching April as she discussed sleeping methods with Mikey. Raph’s eyes widened, and he mouthed the words ‘he’s blushing’ to Donnie, who mouthed the words ‘I know’ back at him. 

Raph tapped his brother’s shoulder, who snapped out of his affectionate gaze to look questioningly at the other. “What’s with you?” He asked, noticing Leo’s face had gone slightly redder due to his nerves.

“What do you mean?” Leo whispered, and Raph started explaining himself, only for April to laugh at something Mikey said. Her laugh temporarily transfixed the leader, and Donnie had to clear his throat. The leader hunched his shoulders, bracing for a bombardment of insults after ignoring Raph’s answer. But nothing came; Donnie repeated what he had been too distracted to hear.

“You like her. Don’t you?”

Leo froze. The statement threw him so severely that he remained dead silent, staring at Donnie with his brows raised.

He swallowed. 

The fuzzy feeling was back from before, but it was so much worse this time. Leo had started imagining what people did when they were in love. Then he imagined himself and April in those situations, and it was like someone lit his face on fire.

Leo decided not to answer, and Donnie chose not to pry. Surprisingly, Raph didn’t attempt to pry either though that didn’t stop him from smirking broadly at the blue-clad leader.

Again April felt a change in Leo’s emotional state. She turned and saw that he was gazing at her with a slightly guilty expression. Their eyes met. Even at this moment - when the fuzzy feeling was so prominent April could practically feel it emanating off the turtle next to her - all she noticed was his guilt. A quick glance around the room. Raph was busy reading Leo’s comics, Donnie was still checking for hazards, and Mikey was complaining about the lights.

April stood up.

“I’m going to get some water.” She said before glancing at the leader. “Wanna come with me?” The two gazed awkwardly at each other for a brief moment.

“Sure.” 

---

Oh god, this was awkward. The tap slowly filled up the glass April had retrieved from the cupboard. The pair stood in silence. Tense silence. She turned the tap off and took a large swig of water. Leo watched her. Their eyes met for the third time. 

“Are you alright Leo?” 

The question broke through the empty silence, and Leo shuffled his feet. Eye contact now broken, he stared fixedly at the glass clutched in April’s hand and gave her a nod.

“I can tell when you’re lying, y’know.” April commented loftily. “How many times have you used me as a lie detector now? Like 8– maybe 9 times?” Leo’s face was flushed, and he was now staring intently at the floor. “Leo…?”

“It’s nothing.” He insisted, making the trek back over to the dojo. April quickly followed suit, although she latched onto his sash and pulled him back. “April—” but something stopped him. April was close to his face, examining his expression in the darkened lair. “H-Hey–!”

“You’re red again.”

“D-Do you not realise how close you are to my face?”

April stared into his eyes for a moment, then let go of his sash. “I need to wash the glass. Meet you back in the—”

“I’m coming back with you.” Leo said abruptly, now making the trek back over to the sink. April looked dumbfounded.

“But you were the one who—” Leo waved a hand. 

The tap was back on again, as was the silence between the pair, though the tension was slightly different. The glass kept slipping out of April’s hands whenever she looked at the turtle, whilst Leo’s breath quickened when he did the same. Both teens were somewhat flushed. 

What was happening? 

“Listen—” They said in unison. Then stared at each other in surprise. April dropped the glass again. 

“You go first.” April insisted, picking up the glass to towel dry it. Leo hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck before sucking in a deep breath of air.

“I think I like you.” 

Smash

The glass shattered as it hit the floor. April moved back in reflex but slipped on the excess water. Lunging forward, the leader caught her before she could hit the back of her head on the table. This, unfortunately, led to a shard of glass getting embedded into the bottom of Leo’s foot. 

“Quick! Move away from where it smashed!” April looked frankly shocked at almost everything that had just occurred. Leo gingerly fell down beside the table and hissed with pain. “Gosh, I’m sorry Leo I-I didn’t mean to—”

“It’s fine April, I was the one who caused thaAAH!” April had carefully lifted the turtle’s foot to examine the wound when she had accidentally pressed into the shard, causing Leo to yelp in pain. Again, April apologised profusely. “Nono, I’m alright.” The girl quickly turned on her phone’s flashlight and made her way over to the light switch. 

“Oh god.” April breathed, staring down at the blood-stained floor. Leo felt slightly unwell as he stared at his foot. It looked like a deep wound. “H-Hold on, I’ll get Donnie.”

Leo watched her run back to the dojo with a grim expression. He was too forward. Way too forward. 

“What?” The lanky turtle rushed out of the dojo, followed closely by April and his brothers. Leo cringed at Donnie’s look of utter exasperation and opted to examine his injury further. “I heard a smash, but I didn’t expect you—”

“Nice going Chief.” Raph mused though he was clearly concerned.

“It looks like a scene from a horror movie!” Mikey commented loudly, excitement overpowering his concern. Raph smacked his shoulder. “Sorry, it’s just– look at all that blood!” 

“You don’t need to point it out, Mikey.” Leo mumbled, actively paling at the sight. It was pooling around his foot at this point. Gross. Donnie rushed over to Leo’s side and gave him a shoulder to lean on as he stood up. The minute he turned Leo away from the shards of glass, the leader came face-to-face with a worried girl.

He went red.

“Come on bro.” Donnie sighed, “Mikey, I trust you and Raph can handle the mess—”

“I’ll handle it.” April insisted, “It’s my mess. It’s the least I can do.”

Rapheal (TMNT 2014/2016) - Chapter 5 Final

Patrols were still regular. 

For the last couple of nights, Raph has been stopping by your place after his patrols. You have no doubt that his brothers probably tease him for it. Because when you go there in the mornings you catch the faces that Mikey makes. You always leave the windows open for him next to your room. 

This particular night you were continuing your Criminal Minds marathon. Turns out you managed to flip him into a fan. It’s easy to guess who his favorite character is. When you hear the closing of your window as you're bringing in the box of pizza, you grin. 

“Just in time, let me grab the sodas and get this party started!” 

You drop the pizza on your desk excitedly, but when your eyes lift, Raph is sitting against your wall holding his bloody arm. He wears a little pained smile. 

“Sorry, I made a mess. “

Your heart pulls in an uncomfortable way, and you drop to your knees, pulling the first aid bag from under your bed. Your movements are frantic as you basically yank it out. You want to question him. Ask him how this could happen. But right now you need to stop the bleeding. You're at his side in seconds, and you don’t say a word. Your eyes are fixated on the wound. 

“It’s just a scratch. “ 

“Be quiet.” You order. 

He can see from your expression that you’re upset. You pull out gauze and alcohol pads. You get to work, cleaning it carefully. As time goes by you realize it isn’t a bullet wound thankfully. It looks sharp. Like it’s from a blade. The realization makes you more anxious. 

“Leo and I didn’t get in a fight if that’s what ya wondering. We got careless with some criminals. They took a lucky shot. Leo got pissed when I told him I was coming over here. Kept looking like a kicked puppy. It doesn’t even hurt.” 

The fact that it wasn’t the usual rivalry brings relief. You tape a thicker piece of gauze to his shoulder. 

“That should hold for now. We’ll have to change the bandages. In about an hour or so.” you’re taking off your gloves and discarding the used pieces of gauze. You don’t say much the entire time. 

“So you’re just going to give me the silent treatment.” 

He sounds a bit annoyed. After you’ve dumped the trash, you just stand there in the middle of the room. You’re not sure what words to say. You look down, and that’s when Raph sees the tears you’re trying to hold back. 

“I-I know that it’s hypocritical to get mad. I-I put you through much worse when you thought I was..w-when I..” You can’t even say it. 

The fact of the matter is you were terrified. Because your mind went to the worst places when you saw the blood. What if he had been hit somewhere vital?

What if he hadn’t made it back tonight? 

What if.

Those two words hold so much weight. You just feel useless. Because you no longer have your powers. You no longer have abilities needed to protect the people who mean the world to you. 

“I can’t ever lose you Raph..” 

Your lips quiver, and Raph finds it hard to believe. It’s at that moment that he realizes just how much you care about him. Over the years he’d seen you look at Leo, this expression was completely foreign to him. He thought he knew you entirely. But he’s obviously mistaken. He stands a bit unsteadily, not from the injury, but the emotion that’s written all over your face. You race to him to offer support.

“A-Are you okay?! On a scale of one to ten how much does it hurt!” 

You’re not exactly a doctor, so he might need additional care. It’s not like you can take him into a hospital. He says nothing and your worry increases. You finally truly look at him, and the care in his eyes is stronger than you expect. Your throat goes dry, and your mind is blank. His hand reaches out almost hesitantly. Your heart won’t slow down. 

The second his hand touches your skin, you feel as though you’ll crumble right there. You can’t seem to stop yourself, you push unto your toes, grabbing the strap on his chest pulling him in for a kiss. Raph is unresponsive for a few seconds, but you don’t let that deter you. You’re careful to avoid his injured hand. Pushing him lightly, lips still connected. He stumbles back a couple times, and he hits the wall. 

He always imagined that when you both finally shared a first kiss, he would be leading. But he was wrong. Your lips feel desperate. He moans when your tongue slides past his lips. Your hands have made it around his shoulders, and his move to your waist to lift you up. You place a hand on the wall, and Raph now supports your thighs, keeping them securing around his hips. Neither of you want to stop anytime soon. Each kiss is like a piece of heaven that you’ve been starved of. You never want this to end. 

You only pull away when you hear something crash. Raph draws back the same time you do, and it takes a moment to realize that a few items in your room are hovering. Your eyes widen, and so does Raph’s. You let out a steady breath, and they all drop at once. The crashing of items all fall in unison. 

You turn back to Raph astonished. 

“My powers..” 

Somehow they’d begun to manifest themselves. 

“Ya getting them back! We gotta call Leo and April! Heck we gotta call everybody.” 

He looks excited, because he knows that you’ve been a bit lost without them. But at the moment, it’s not the most pressing matter. You bit your lower lip. 

“Later, right now let’s break some more stuff.” 

Raph is so adorably confused. 

“Wha-mphfp!” 

You kiss him, tongue running right back on course. His forehead creases, slightly, and he holds back a moan as you cup his cheeks, delivering the most sinful kisses that he’s ever received in his entire existence. 

Celebrations can wait.

Ok so like......a little bit ago you did some general headcanons for the TMNT boys in a relationship and I just love to imagine donnie with an s/o who's also a huge star wars fan like......picture sparring but the two of you just start making lightsaber noises and quoting lines as a form of banter.....and sometimes you start little fights about it because it's just fun to be like "you know I think Greedo shot first" and hear him go "whAT" three rooms over and rush to wherever you are......or having marathons every so often and needing pause every 10 minutes because one of you has another rant/theory about what's happening........and like cosplaying together and raising both your confidence and just having fun with it.......and the general shared fan behavior over merchandise and characters.....sorry your headcanons just inspired me and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. Anyway have a great day :)

Hey guys I'm back! Sorry for such a long hiatus, had some life shit I needed to work through. School's out and summer has been pretty okay so far, but if you've got any college tips for me please message me, I'll take all the advice I can get.

Anyways- I'm doing what I can to get back into writing, TMNT was a mild hyperfixation that I had a while ago, I never expected to gain so much traction on here for my writing. I hope you can understand my surprise when I got so much positive feedback and I do feel a little guilty for all of the requests that have sat in my inbox for months.

But no matter- I'm back now with a vengeance and I will be doing my best to push out more content. So thanks for being patient! Now that that's out of the way, let's get this show on the road.

TMNT Headcanons

In which everyone is afraid to ship people in the Star Wars universe in fear that they might be siblings (aka, Donnie's s/o is a huge star wars nerd and everyone else is fucking sick of it)

Donnie was dead on the floor the second you made a Star Wars reference in front of him

dead in all capitals

dead in italic font

dead™

thing was, he'd already thought you were cool before you made the reference, you were Casey's friend and you weren't scared of him or his brothers

he had the very vivid memory of you yanking a crowbar out of a discarded toolbox in an alley when you'd first met and using it to hit a foot soldier over the head

that hadn't surprised him too much, it was the noises you were making with your mouth

"are you-"

"yeah," you shrugged, "making lightsaber noises makes me feel better about rocking his absolute shit with this thing."

Donnie was a little wary of you after that

but it admittedly turned into admiration when you'd started dating

well, most of the time, you jumping at him at 3am screaming "you were the chosen one!" because he'd accidentally eaten your leftovers wasn't what he'd call endearing

it did make him careful not to eat your food however

and god knows you two couldn't get 5 minutes into a movie without pausing it to dissect the plot, much to everyone else's annoyance

the worst times were when you didn't pause it, the others would watch you talk for 15 minutes as the movie went on before you stopped and had to rewind

what should've taken only 3 hours ended up lasting 5 or 6

the others eventually banned you two from watching star wars with them

you were fine with it, more time to talk anyways

sometimes it was extremely helpful, spirit-lifting if you will

you wouldn't, it sounded really cheesy and you were lactose intolerant as fuck

but it did help when the mood was a little sour

you'd walked in on the entire family moping about, you didn't have to ask what happened, you knew they'd had another fight

your eyes landed on Leo first and you decided to roll with it

"I did it."

they noticed how low your voice was first, and when they looked at you your expression was dark

"Uh... did what exactly?" Mikey was the first to respond

"I killed them- I killed them all. Not just the men. But the women and children too."

maybe it was your face, maybe your horrible impression of Anakin, whatever it was it made Raph snort so hard he fell into a coughing fit

Donnie did that near imperceptible giggle he always did whenever he found something funny and hearing that sent Mikey into a fit of laughter

Leo cracked last, not laughing entirely but he gave you that amused side smile and shook his head

yeah, you were pretty good at lifting the mood

sometimes it served very helpfully as a method to get Donnie out of his lab

one day when you were over having lunch with the others you immediately noticed your boyfriend's absence. you didn't comment- usually he came out on his own accord

but he didn't

Raph had sighed and rose to retrieve his younger brother

"hang on a sec Raph," you were mumbling through a mouthful of sandwich and waving at the wall of muscle. it took a moment for you to swallow your food before you winked at the others

then you raised your voice just a little and announced-

"yeah- that's an interesting take on that, but I still say that Greedo shot first"

you counted on your hands, your eyes twinkling with amusement

3-2-1-

"YOU WHAT?!"

"there we go."

all six and a half feet of the purple genius came tumbling down the hall and into the kitchen, gaze landing on you in complete and utter shock

"Works like a charm, hey darling, it's lunchtime and you need to eat."

"But-"

"You can chastise me later, now sit down and put food in your face."

he managed to shut his mouth and sit down at the table and at that moment the rest of the family burst into rambunctious laughter

Donnie was halfway through his second sandwich when he looked up at you again

"you don't actually think that, right?"

You snorted into your apple juice

"Of course not Donnie, I'm a dumbass, not an idiot."

I had SO much fun writing this, forgot how much I missed doing it. I hope you like it! And thanks for being patient with me!

Hey! I hope my ask is okay but how would the turtles react to their crush having wings (it can be any colour) like pretty looking wings- but they have talent of hiding them? Because they think they will react negatively towards it??

You can make up how they find out :)

(Please take breaks making this my dear)

Hello, my dear friend. Thank you so much for this lovely ask, I really appreciates that you asked me. Your ask is completely fine and I really like your idea. I was so happy doing this and I´m really sorry for any mistakes in description. I hope that you will like it.

Here we go

TMNT x Reader : Reader have wings but they have talent of hiding them

Leonardo:

- he never saw anything like that before

- he was amazed by you before, but now, wow

Okinawa travel diary: Museum, massage, mutant turtles, and green onion mountains

Have you ever tried to explain mutant ninja turtles to an 80-year old Okinawan black belt?  It’s pretty entertaining.

Our day began and ended with meals with my grandmother’s friends.  In particular, we were joined for brunch and dinner (as well as other meals on other days) by one man who used to teach English & Italian literature, sings Italian opera, runs marathons, writes newspaper columns, and has a black belt.  Just, you know, mildly accomplished.  And the only person (!) we met who’d never married… not sure if he was independent/uninterested, gay, or had an unrequited crush on my grandmother.  (He took her home to introduce her to his mom, back in their youth, but I don’t know what that means over here.)

His martial art practice turned out to involve weaponry -- including bo wooden staff, nunchucks, and sai.  He was surprised I’d heard of them, and even more surprised when I said I used to pretend I was fighting with bo and sai myself, when I was a little girl.  I then had a wonderful time trying to explain TMNT to him.  He was bemused.  “But… why turtles?  And why teenage?”  Yeah, I don’t know, pal (I did briefly try to explain about sewers and radioactive ooze, to blank stares).  But it’s definitely no weirder than a lot of the manga & anime your country has produced. :)

My grandmother’s friends were all quite impressed with my meager use of Japanese, for the most part.  OTOH, they were also dazzled that I could use chopsticks. :)  That’s a sign of how few American tourists they see, I think; nobody in Tokyo has blinked twice.  I saw only two other Westerners the entire time we were there (Australians).  Which is interesting, given that one third (!) of Okinawa is occupied by U.S. military bases.  But the Americans there mostly stay on base, apparently.

There were a few times when my language deployment was less than impressive.  I told them, “The trees are so spicy!” when I meant beautiful.  But my crowning achievement was cheerfully and confidently announcing that Boston is a green onion mountain.  

It’s obvious what I meant by that, right?

No?

Oh, fine, I’ll spell it out.  Literally, because I was trying for nigiyaka -- “bustling” -- and ended up with negi-yama -- “green onion mountain.”  Since I was eating seaweed at the time, there followed much consternation and attempt to explain to me that no, this wasn’t negi, this was seaweed, and so sorry, where was the mountain?  Oops.  :)

Afterward, it was raining, so my grandmother and I went to the Okinawa Prefectural Museum, where we saw an exhibit on the history of Okinawa, from the earliest archeology to modern times.  I learned a great deal about the island’s historical relation to Japan and China, and about WWII and afterward (when everything had been destroyed and had to be rebuilt, and the U.S. military was occupying the island... a couple decades later, my U.S. Air Force grandfather -- who’d already had my mother and other kids -- met my Okinawan grandmother there, so I have a bit of a complicated relationship with that history).  And there was some beautiful art, pottery, and sculpture.  Photography wasn’t allowed, so I don’t have any photos to share -- although we were able to take pictures of the traditional pre-war Okinawan houses outside the museum.  

I also had an adventure in how not to design software when I tried to take a guided headset tour in English.  Instead of being the typical go-in-a-set-order style device, they’d set up an iPad with bluetooth software that was supposed to let you wander freely and detect whichever displays you were closest to, so you could play the relevant audio whenever you liked.  However, the bluetooth detection was terrible, the audio would stop short or abruptly switch chapters any time it thought you’d moved, and there was no ability to select chapters from a menu instead of via bluetooth detection.  If you accidentally hit one of the buttons other than play or pause, you’d end up in confusing screens that only had Japanese, with no clear way to resume the audio portion of the app.  And it sometimes got stuck in a state where the Japanese docents also couldn’t understand what was up, and I had to return to the experts at the main desk (outside the museum exhibit) to get them to reset it.  I was laughing at how badly it was designed in pretty short order, and it provided a fair amount of unintentional entertainment. ��(There was just enough English signage throughout the exhibits that I mostly did fine without the audio.)

That night, my grandmother sighed over her sore legs, and I got a massage.  (I thought we were both going to, but somehow my grandmother ended up scheduling one for just me.)  I expected I’d be going to the hotel’s spa, but right when I was getting ready to leave my room, the masseuse showed up at the hotel room door.  She spread out towels on my bed and then gestured for me to remove my clothes and lie down.  And then stared at me.  I’m comfortable undressing in front of people when that’s the cultural norm, but I generally feel like it’s a good policy to avoid surprise nudity.  So I tried to double check, but we had a serious language barrier.  I tried, “Where?”  and “Right here?”  I could feel her eyes rolling as she made a big show of turning her back and holding her arm up over her face to protect the prudish American’s delicate sensibilities.  Oh well.  Better that than me doing unwanted stripping.  :)

It was a pretty good massage -- she used warm oil, which was nice.  The most unusual part was when she perched on top of my back like she was going to do knee pushups, and then massaged my buttocks with her knees.  Very effective.  Very entertaining.

After that, the masseuse gave me a nightgown to dress in (that came with the hotel room, but I’d missed it) so I could climb straight into bed.  The gown’s buttons strained valiantly to accommodate my bust and torso, and it ended mid-thigh.  When my grandmother wore the other gown, it looked like a massive, shapeless bag and came down to her ankles.  (The last picture I’ve included above is from the previous day, when we were at the aquarium -- to show the relative scale of me and my grandmother.)

We both slept well, in preparation for our busiest day of all.

Tulip in a Rose

Summary: (Y/N) is a very big fan of TMNT. One night, she goes to bed, and she wakes up to find that she is no longer in her own dimension. Nor is she in her own body!

A/N: So, I wrote this story on Quotev and thought that maybe I should share it on Tumblr as well.

Part 1

Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', myHandler);

You yawned. It was about 12:45 a.m. You had stayed up all night to watch a marathon of your favorite show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It had finally ended. You got up off the couch, and walked to your room, rubbing your eyes. Lately you had been going to bed before 10:30, but today was an acceptation. You really wanted to watch this marathon. Opening the door to your room, you yawned again, and quickly closed it. Lazily, you drag yourself over to your bed, and lift the covers up. You get under the nice cozy comforter, and snuggle up to it. It didn't take very long to drift off to sleep. The feeling of sleep just felt so good, that you couldn't stay awake any longer. You were now in a deep sleep.

~LE TIME SKIP~ "April! April, are you okay?"

It felt like it had been ten minutes since you fell asleep, but isn't that how it always feels when you wake up? And then suddenly some stranger is shaking you, calling out to April. April? Who's April? You shove whoever is awaking you from your slumber. You groan and say, "Shut up. Don't you know when someone is sleeping?" You roll to your side.

"W-What?" The voice sounded genuinely hurt. You rolled back towards it and slowly opened your eyes. What do you see? Donatello..... wait.....

You know what it probably was? You might have just dreamed of yourself walking to bed. Maybe you just woke up and fell asleep too close to the TV. You started to back up, but crashed into something. You slowly turned your head around, and see three pairs of green feet. Slowly looking up, you find yourself coming face to face with the three other ninja turtles. You let out a little squeak, ad back away from them. Okay, this definitely wasn't on a television. Maybe you're dreaming? Yeah! That has to be it! You feel a tap on your shoulder. It was Donnie. "April, are you okay? What's going on?"

"A-April?" you question.

Then Mikey screamed, "OH NO DUDES! SHE FORGOT HER NAME!"

"That's stupid!" Raph retorted.

"No it isn't!" Raph and Mikey went and had an argument. You looked down at your hands. They didn't look like yours. Then you went to your cloths. A yellow shirt with the number 5 in white on it, and jean shorts with black leggings underneath, and black boots. Pulling some hair in front of your face, you saw that they were orange.

'(Y/n) (L/n), you are now April O'Neil' You thought to yourself. This was some.... funky dream.....

But it was only a dream. It HAD to be a dream! If it was a dream where you're April, then you need to play the part! You got up, and dusted yourself up.

"Sorry about that guys. I guess I'm not really... feeling like myself today." You giggled. Inside joke. Inside joke. You felt a hand on your shoulder. Turning around, you notice that the hand belongs to Donnie. "Are you feeling alright?" he asks.

"Uhhhhmmmm Yeah! Why wouldn't I be?" you hesitantly reply.

"Well for one thing, you just fainted." Fainted? That was why you were lying down you guessed.

"Oh, that? Don't worry about that Donnie!" You fangirl squealed on the inside. Just saying his name made you very happy. Even if it WAS just a dream. In all honesty though, you weren't feeling alright. You were feeling kinda woozy. 

"April, maybe it'd be a good idea to go home. You don't seem to well." You turned to Leo. He had a good point. You slowly nodded, and headed for the exit. Before leaving though, you stopped and turned back to them to say goodbye. Donnie and Leo waved to you. Raph was too busy chasing Mikey to say goodbye, and Mikey was too busy running for his life. Giving them a small wave, you leave the lair.

Thoughts about what just happened clouded your head. Thinking about what you were going to do with the guys tomorrow. After a good half hour of walking in the sewers, you came to the conclusion that you did not have any of April's memories, and had no idea how to get home. Heck, you don't even know how to get out of the sewers! Oh no. It's official. You're lost.
