Title: The Thing Leo “Forgot” to Mention

A.N.: I have this HC that Leo would have a random rebellious phase and want to do something reckless, like get a random tattoo (that idea was quickly dismissed tho) or a piercing. I thought it would be funny to see him try to hide it from Raph, ’cause I’m 1000% sure he would not be on board with it.

! No turtles were harmed in the making of this fic (except for Raph’s mental state, maybe) !

The Thing Leo “Forgot” to Mention

Hanging out at the lair isn’t something special for you. Heck, you might as well just live there by now, considering how often you come over for game night, pizza night, Donnie-explaining-his-new-project-of-the-week night (god, why are these things always happening at night lol). But tonight is special. It’s movie night, more specifically, date movie night with your amazing, funny, perfect boyfriend, Leonardo.

Which means that instead of watching Jupiter Jim movies with everyone in the cinema room, you’re watching Jupiter Jim movies with Leo in his room.

You’re both lying in the pillow fort you made a few minutes ago, watching the opening credits of Jupiter Jim into the Something Something, Volume One Billion (probably). Nothing new.

Leo’s half-watching the movie, half-watching you exist near him, a fond smile on his face. He’s so cute, you think, smiling too. He pulls you a little closer before smiling again, like a little kid letting you in on a secret. If the secret were that Leo wants attention and/or cuddles and kisses. But he’s not gonna say it. No, no, no. That would be way too easy.

Instead, he has a step-by-step ritual he follows every time. He kisses your forehead, then moves to your nose, and lastly kisses your lips.

Except this time, it’s different.

Not the steps, obviously (he’d never change the order, ever)

He leans down like usual, kissing your forehead, then your nose, which makes you laugh, before kissing your lips. But the kiss feels different. Not bad, exactly. The first thing you notice is the very light taste of metal, which immediately makes you think he might be hurt or something, but that thought disappears almost instantly when you feel something hard, like a little metal ball.

You don’t get to process any of it before Leo pulls away, his hand resting behind his head. He doesn’t get to relax for more than a second before you turn to face him properly, lightly grabbing his jaw.

“Leo, open your mouth,” you say seriously, like you’re investigating a crime.

Leo doesn’t even get the chance to respond before you pull his jaw down to open his mouth. His eyes widen as he tries to speak.

“Wa ar u doin’?” (What are you doing?)

You don’t respond. You just freeze, which only confuses him more.

“Wut?”

“Leonardo Hamato,” you say (oh no, full name), “did you get a tongue piercing?!” You almost yell. Leo looks away in a very not-suspicious-at-all manner before meeting your eyes again.

“Yes…”

“Oh mi god, Leo! Since when?” you ask, exasperated.

“Since a few hours ago…” He glances at the clock.

“A few— A few hours ago?! Does Raph know?” you almost yell again.

Leo quickly covers your mouth before whisper-yelling, “Shell no! He would literally kill me. But if you keep yelling, he’ll definitely find out.”

He slowly moves his hand away.

“Does Donnie know?” you ask more quietly.

“Who do you think helped me with this?” he says like it’s obvious. “He kept talking about how this is a great experiment and blah blah blah,” he adds, gesturing with his hands.

“And you didn’t want him to do it?” you ask, raising a suspicious eyebrow.

“Well…” He hesitates for a second before cracking. “Yeah, okay, fine. It was kinda sorta my idea.”

“Leo—”

“But Donnie didn’t even try telling me it was a bad decision. He just thought it would be super fun,” he says, rolling his eyes.

“Does Mikey know?” you ask, sounding a little frantic.

“Babe, in this whole lair, the only one interested in my tongue is you,” he says like it’s obvious, a smirk forming on his face.

You blush slightly, shoving your hand into his face to push him away.

“Don’t say it like that,” you hiss, though there’s no real anger in your voice.

Leo laughs, then pulls you close again, his tone shifting from teasing to genuinely unsure.

“Do you hate it? The piercing, I mean.”

“No. I just need a second to process it. Doesn’t it hurt?” you ask. “I heard it’s supposed to. Like, some people have trouble eating and stuff.”

“Nope. Not even a little. Donnie said it might have something to do with our mutant DNA or something.”

“So it didn’t hurt at all?”

“I mean, I screamed a lot less than I thought I would,” he nudges your shoulder as you laugh. “And the other stuff isn’t that bad. Eating’s been fine,” he says, physically dismissing the idea. “I just hope I’m still a good kisser.”

“Oh mi god, shut up,” you laugh.

“Ha! You laughed, which means I’m right. You love it, don’t you?”

“Maybe,” you tease.

“Oh, pizza supreme, of course you do! Makes you look like a hot chick with a bad boy boyfriend,” he continues before tickling you.

“That does not describe you at all, you nerd!” you squeal, trying to escape.

“Just admit you like my new piercing and we’re even.”

“Fine, fine! It’s cool. Your new piercing is cool,” you laugh, finally saying it.

Leo freezes.

“That’s what I thought,” he says proudly, then softer, “I really hoped you’d like it.”

“Were you gonna tell me, or was this your amazing foolproof plan?”

“I was gonna tell you properly. I just needed a little more time. I kinda forgot I had it…” he says sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

“Already?”

“What? It’s part of me now! Further proof it was a good idea and that I’m not reckless at all.”

“You are reckless,” you smile, “but I still like it.”

Leo lights up instantly.

“Strong words from someone who was freaking out a few seconds ago.”

“Strong words from someone who’s gonna get emotionally and probably physically murdered by Raph.”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Oh, but I would, if you give me a reason.”

“Wow. Blackmailed by my own girlfriend. So sad,” he says dramatically, flopping back onto the pillows and dragging you with him. “My fate is so cruel!”

“Yup.” You kiss his cheek and run off.

“Wait—no! Come back!” Leo yells, chasing after you with a huge smile.

“No way! You said I was a horrible girlfriend!” you shout back jokingly.

Raph did eventually find out. Not because you told him, that wasn’t what you wanted, and certainly not because you got too close to Raph’s room and he overheard you two joking around. Leo caught up to you before you even left the main area.

The actual reason was kind of stupid.

After you gave your approval for his piercing, Leo started smiling like crazy, like, more than usual, which already made Raph suspicious (his senses were tingling lol). Not to mention that Leo talks a lot; everyone’s aware of that. And the lights in the lair just so happened to shine perfectly on his highly reflective little metallic piercing.

He didn’t stand a chance.

You weren’t there when Raph found out to see it happen live, but Mikey gave you the full scene in detail. He may be biased, but he’s definitely less biased than Leo or Donnie, so he’s your best shot at understanding what happened.

It was a random Wednesday morning. A supposedly quiet morning, since you and April were at school. And Leo did what he always does when he thinks he got away with something: he got sloppy.

At first, nothing unusual happened. After the usual nagging from Mikey about Dee not coming to eat with them and Raph’s usual morning workout, everyone finally sat down at the table to have breakfast in peace. And by “peace,” I mean complete chaos, like usual.

Leo was info-dumping about a new comic he’d read last night (#insomnia), ignoring Donnie’s dry comments and Mikey’s jokes. As he talked, Raph saw something shine.

His face hyper-focused on Leo.

A small glimmer, almost blinding, if he were dramatic enough.

He didn’t think much of it at first. Maybe his teeth were shining or something. Like Donnie had experimented on him with a new formula for whitening strips or whatever. Raph found that explanation very reasonable and made a mental note to make sure Leo didn’t pass out later from any random side effects and to watch his toothbrush and toothpaste carefully for the next few days so he wouldn’t get surprise-experimented on.

But he instantly forgot about those very wise observations when he saw Leo slightly stick his tongue out in response to one of Mikey’s jokes.

Only the very tip was showing, but the faint shape of something like a ball could be seen if you were looking closely enough (or if you were an anxious older brother).

Raph was both.

His intense stare caught Leo’s attention almost instantly, making him shut up mid-sentence.

“Leo,” Raph said in a serious tone.

Leo’s first instinct was to say something witty like, “That’s my name, don’t wear it out,” before realizing that if he opened his mouth even a little, Raph might see his biggest secret: the piercing.

So he settled for a slow head turn toward his older brother.

And oh, in the name of all pizza, that was a mistake.

Raph’s gaze was sharper than the needle Donnie had used for the piercing, making Leo freeze (again).

“What did you do?” Raph asked, though it was obvious he already knew something was up.

Leo held his gaze for a few seconds before Raph turned to pace the kitchen.

“I swear to god, guys. If you did something stupid again, Raph is literally going to explode.”

“I didn’t do anything stupid,” Leo chimed in.

Oof. Big mistake.

Raph saw the piercing clearly now. He rushed toward Leo, forcing his mouth open.

“You got a piercing?!” he yelled, making Mikey gasp out loud. “What were you thinking?” he continued, still holding Leo’s mouth open and not giving him a chance to respond. “What if something happens? And—and we have to cut off your tongue or something?!”

“Oh. Mi. Gosh. Tongue amputation!” Mikey said, almost in awe.

“Technically not the best term for that, Michael,” Donnie commented.

“What were you thinking?!” Raph asked again before Leo finally managed to break free from his grip.

“I thought it would look awesome…?” he tried, immediately realizing his mistake.

“Awesome? Seriously?! What if it gets infected?!” Raph continued spiraling, his panic too strong for him to be mad just yet.

“Very unlikely,” Donnie commented. “I sterilized everything. Scoff! I’m not an amateur.”

“You helped him with this?!” Raph’s attention snapped to his other brother.

“Yes, it was Donnie!” Leo said quickly.

“No one forced you to, Nardo!” Donnie hissed back. “You made a whole PowerPoint presentation about why this was a good idea.”

“Not like you tried to stop me!” Leo argued.

“I can’t believe you guys would do something like this!” Raph said in frustration, while Mikey watched everything from afar.

That was the moment Leo realized Raph’s anxiety had finally melted into his very well-known anger.

“Okay… time to go. Don’t ya think, Don-Tron?” Leo muttered, turning to his twin.

“Agreed,” he said before they teleported away, just in time, before Raph killed them.

(Maybe I’ll make a bonus scene of Leo and Donnie planning everything, idk I’m tired.)

Special thanks to @leonardotheblueturtle! You gave me the motivation to actualy finish this thing lol

Ps: I found a fanart of Leo having a very distinct tongue piercing about a year ago that I think sparked this idea in me. If anyone finds it or like stumbles across it feel free to tell me cuz I would love to put it here (with credit ofc) cuz it matches the vibe perfectly

[forgetful-nerd]

Of course, Rise Leo is his own unique spin on “Leonardo,” because every version of him has a unique spin on Leonardo. But at their core? Every great interpretation of Leo is the same: An idiot.

[anna55xd]

100% idiot = 100% Leo

I love my lil idiot <3

[mci-writing]

Thinking about something similar to the battle nexus crossover, but instead it’s multiple Leonardos all working towards finding their versions of you in a labyrinth or something. After all the fighting and searching and fighting they all finally manage to find them (together for the sake of the idea).

And they’re all so confused to watch each other with their versions of (Y/n). Some of them have it sooo much easier, they’re practically envious.

Like 2012!Leo and his (Y/n) are so obviously strained? Their actions are so rehearsed and terse, but there’s an after touch to their interactions that tells so much and absolutely nothing at all. Their words hold so much contempt, but there’s an underlying something squished between the lingering gazes and soft calls of one another’s name? They say they’re just friends, but the word doesn’t sound right coming from their lips.

2003!Leonardo, on the other hand, is extremely awkward(?) with his (Y/n), but oh so gentle in his handling of them initially. It’s like whiplash seeing him turn them upside down in his worry to check that everything’s in order, only for him to back away and keep his distance just as fast. It’s obviously complicated (not nearly as complicated as 2012), but they’re still gentle in reassuring one another that they’re okay. They’re also “friends”, but he’s not letting them stray too far despite being around trusted company and they both stumble around each other like two middle schoolers discovering how feelings work.

Rise!Leo practically launches at his (Y/n), but he’s soft in talking to them to make sure that everything’s okay. There are a few stray kisses exchanged between his words and he attempts to play any worry off as in their heads. They play jokes off each other, ignoring their own inner turmoil in favor of reassuring the other that they’re fine. They’re practically all over each other, hugging and holding hands despite the tension of the other’s around them. They’re best friends, but they hold onto one another like they’ll die if they’re apart again and there’s something deeper to the way they stare into each other’s eyes.

87!Leonardo throws them over his shoulder and says the others are being weird. The Donatello’s can handle any extra issues. Somehow, they’re dating, but Leo says they got back together yesterday. The others from their dimension say they may breakup again in the next few days.

Another piece for the ROTTMNT Open the Floodgates and it's a couple of fake screenshots from the cut storyboard of Episode 28, "Shadow of Evil." This little homage to the 90's film made me so happy since it's my favorite of the TMNT films (and I love that Mikey still only uses paper, as mentioned earlier in the series). The background is a cleaned-up screenshot, the original boards were drawn by @jjconway and the Donnie and Mikey are drawn by me.

Still love this show and all its little gems, @nickelodeon @paramountpictures

Title: Operation: Make it canon!

Fandom: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rise/2018

Pairing: Leonardo x Reader (Leo x Y/N)

AN: I have this hc that Casey Jr is a hopeless romantic for some reason. Like major shipper, he lives of of them (one of the reasons he stayed happy and optimistic even tho it was the apocalypse) so I wanted to make a fic about it. Half of this has been siting in my drafts for a while but I finally finished it so here it is. (Also I kept wanting to write but literally had no ideas until now 💀✨)

Operation: Make it canon!

After the battle with the Krang, everything was amazing. Casey finally got peace after 16 years of constant running. He completed his mission, saved the world, and finally trapped the Krang forever. And now… he had his family. Sure, they were a little different—mostly because everyone was suddenly his age—but still. They were healing. He was healing. Life was good. At least, that’s what Casey thought… before the “incident.”

It all happened during movie night. Mikey and Raph were sitting on the floor, Donnie took one of the bean bags, and Casey took the other because Leo and Y/N had basically taken over the couch.

During the movie, Casey could practically feel the lovey-dovey vibe going on—like how Leo would glance at Y/N when she wasn’t looking, and how she’d do the same. How they sat closer and closer together, basically cuddling as she rested her head on Leo’s shoulder. How he gently took her hand and she took it right back without a second thought. He smiled. Deja vu hit him hard.

He remembered the amazing relationship they had in his timeline, how Y/N and Leo had basically adopted him. He was so happy everything worked out between them in this timeline too because they had basically taught him what true love was. And now, everything was lining up perfectly. God, he is such a romantic (even though I headcanon him as ace, lol).

After the movie, he decided to talk to Donnie about it—just casually mentioning:

 — Master Leonardo and Sergeant Y/N are so cute together, he said once, helping Donnie with something in his lab.

— Yeah, if only they were actually together,” Donnie replied like it was no big deal.

— What do you mean ‘not together’? Casey asked, looking at him like he was speaking a different language.

— They’re not together. Not a thing, Donnie said, still working on his project. Just two dum-dums pretending not to be madly in love with each other.”

Now, that didn’t sit right with Casey. How could Y/N and Leo not be together? They HAD to be. Maybe Donnie was just messing with him… but what if he wasn’t? That thought terrified him. No matter! Casey Johns Jr. was going to fix everything. His OTP WILL be canon. He smirked to himself as he had “the best idea ever,” already planning to surprise them with the perfect date—just like when he was a kid—to keep the tradition going and get them to show the spark was there.

The next day, he spent the whole afternoon preparing a cute date on a private rooftop: favorite snacks, fairy lights everywhere, and candles (that Leo adored because he called them “the most romantic thing ever”). After that, he sent two anonymous notes with a short message:

Come to the rooftop.

Perfect!

And just as he planned, both of them showed up. He couldn’t make out what they were saying, but he could see they were very surprised. He noticed Leo’s smirk—probably telling some story about how he made everything happen. Just like old times, he thought with a fond smile before giving them some privacy. He was so happy everything worked out. He waited a day or two before finally asking them casually.

It was the perfect setting. Leo and Y/N were sitting on the couch, casually holding hands, and Y/N telling him about her day.

— So… how long have you been together? Casey asked casually, trying to make a point—but it seemed like time stopped.

Leo and Y/N slowly turned toward him before Leo finally spoke:

— What do you mean ‘together’? He laughed. We’re not exactly a thing, he pointed between the two of them.

— Yeah, he’s right, Y/N agreed—until she saw Casey’s horrified face. Casey? You good?

— What!? Poor Casey basically yelled. What do you mean you’re not together?

— It’s complicated, Y/N said automatically.

— Being stuck in an apocalypse for 16 years is complicated. This —he pointed between the two of them—this is just stupid. (Casey crashed out.)

— I don’t get it, Leo mumbled to Y/N.

— Yeah, me neither, she started before Casey kept going.

— You guys were on a date. A date! That I planned for you guys.

— What date? Leo asked, confused. Babe, have we been on dates? He turned to Y/N.

— No? she asked, equally confused.

— Then what is this kid talking about? he asked, almost as confused as she was.

— We are literally the same age! Casey tried to complain.

— Maybe he hit his head or something, Y/N said softly.

— Probably, Leo said, then turned to Casey. Case, buddy, are you okay?

— Yeah! You know you can tell us anything, right? (Translation: Are you crazy?)

— Jesus Christ! Nothing is wrong. You guys went on a date. MY date… kinda, I mean, I planned it, he said, getting sidetracked.

— Of course you did, bud,” Leo said, almost condescendingly. Can you just elaborate on this whole ‘date thing’?

— Omg— Casey looked like he was about to explode, running a hand through his hair. The rooftop thing!

— The rooftop thing? Leo echoed.

— You mean the picnic with the cute lights?Something in Y/N’s brain finally clicked.

— YES! That! That was the date.

— Casey, honey, that wasn’t a date. We were just hanging out.

— Omg, you guys are so infuriating, Casey said, frustrated.

— Hey! Don’t talk to your future mother that way.

— Wut? We are literally the same age, he deadpanned.

— You know, since you said Y/N was like a mother to you in the future and stuff… man, this whole time-traveling thing is confusing.

— You’re doing amazing, hun, Y/N smiled.

— Thank you~, he said before turning back to Casey. The point is, we’re not together, and that ‘date’ you planned—we didn’t really consider it a date… 

— By the way, Leo took full credit for everything, Y/N added smugly.

— Not the point, mi vida, Leo shushed her, grinning.

Their playful bickering went on for a moment until—

— SEE! This is what I’m talking about. You guys are meant for each other. (Casey crash out part 2.)

— No, we’re not?”

— You literally called her ‘babe’!

— As a joke,” Leo said way too fast.

— You are literally holding his hand! Casey pointed to Y/N, as she let go like it personally offended her.

— Casey, it’s not like that—

But before she could finish, Casey stormed out, muttering about how dumb they were and how the future was better.

— What was that about? Leo tried to laugh it off, though it was obvious the energy had shifted. After a second of silence, Y/N finally spoke up.

— Do you think we act like a couple? Like we could be together? She turned to look into his eyes.

Leo didn’t respond for a moment, just looking at her before muttering a soft, “Maybe.” He swallowed.

— But that’s weird, isn’t it? His voice sounded forced.

— So weird, she agreed, but didn’t sound convinced.

— But maybe not that weird? Leo added quietly. Like if we were together or something. Unless that’s totally gross—

— No, she said softly. It sounds… nice.

Their eyes met.

Leo smiled slightly.

— Glad we’re on the same page.

Around the corner, Casey was eavesdropping on them. He did a little victory dance before running off to tell Donnie—only to find Mikey and Raph as well.

Casey started rambling about everything and how he singlehandedly got Leo and Y/N together, and how everything was right in the world right now (like the Krang meant nothing compared to his favorite ship), but nobody believed him.

— I don’t trust it until I see it, Donnie muttered.

Oh,  just you wait!

The next morning, everyone was in the kitchen as Y/N walked in holding some bags from the store. Nothing out of the ordinary—until Leo came and hugged her from behind, kissing her cheek.

— Morning babe, she said casually, a soft smile on her face. How’s your morning been?

— Better now that I’m with you, he smirked before giving her another kiss to make her laugh.

The room froze.

Casey just sipping his tea from the sidelines, smirked and tilted his cup toward the ceiling.

— You’re welcome, universe.
