Headcanon: TMNT x younger! Reader
This is platonic, do not worry lol!! thank you for the asks/requests!! i have looked at all of them and have them “queued” to write in my notes
❤️ This is something I started working on beforehand. I didn’t really bother with capitalization and whatnot with this piece, so this isn’t really my writing style. Let me know if you want another part to this or a specific headcanon for a younger! reader :)
-you followed Mikey into the sewers when you saw him kicking trash on the roof of your apartment building
-you were caught because... well, he’s a ninja. he isn’t THAT careless...
-he brought you back home since taking you home would be a super stupid idea, plus he just knew Leonardo was going to kill him!
-he tells his brothers immediately when he gets home....... maybe not immediately..... he has to butter them up first so they don’t hit him
-Raph still slaps the back of his neck
-you wake up to Mikey poking your cheek and see that three other turtles have joined him
-Leo is the scariest, Raph’s Batman voice intimidates you, Donnie is just... kinda there, co-signing, and Mikey tries to get Leo and Raph to chill because they’re scaring you
-you swear not to tell anyone about them and Donnie takes your phone to make sure you have no videos or anything of them and they disappear
-after school you tracked your phone with your old phone after heading back into the sewers
-Turtles were not pleased
-the story is long, but they agreed that you could keep coming down to see them as long as you never told anyone about them and called/texted before coming.... and you weren’t being annoying
-you don’t know what happened to your phone tbh but donnie gave you some sort of modified track phone to use instead while he made you a t-phone
-you texted Mikey mostly. he was really cool and felt like an older brother to you. he always made you laugh
-Donnie rarely replied, so you would have to call him..... not much to talk about at first
-Leo left you on read a lot
-Raph tries to make sense of your text messages... NY colloquialism is interesting sometimes and you tend to miss out when you live in the sewers
-Mikey is the one to escort you to the lair the first (technically second) time
-you bring candy from a corner store for him and his brothers hoping they’d start to be more welcoming
-Donnie has a bit of a sweet-tooth and accepts the peace offering
-Raph and Leo pass on that
-Mikey happily takes their portion
-they soon warm up to you and begin randomly checking up on you and inviting you over
-you eventually meet April
-she’s really nice and always tries to form some sort of close relationship with you. she’s like an older sister
-have a gaming console? bring it with you and introduce mikey to some new games, he will absolutely adore you for it
-bonding with raph is harder, but eventually you learn that you dont really have to talk much to do that
-just kinda walk into the training room and either join him (he’ll automatically want to help when you’re doing something wrong) or carefully crawl on top of his shell while he’s doing push-ups
-he’ll stop and tell you to get off, but when you simply refuse, he’ll shake his head and mumble something, however will continue
-this will become a routine/habit and you’ll sometimes vent to each other like that
-donnie lets you in his labs for school related things only (unless you’re really into STEM, then he’ll definitely allow you to come in more often)
-he gets frustrated with your math book bro
- “that’s... not the way you’re supposed to do it, donnie... they want us to do it this way.”
- “i don’t know that way! why would they change math?? math is MATH!”
- “i’ll just wait for April to get back...”
- “what??? well she wont understand it any better than i do!”
-leo, as intimidating as he seems, has grown fond of you from a distance. you seem to light up the lair with your youthful spirit. they’ve all matured in their own ways. yes, even mikey. it’s nice to have a change
-you’ll have to approach him first
-join him while he’s meditating. he’ll give you tips and may even strike up a conversation unrelated. he enjoys the company
-leonardo tells you stories and let’s you hold his katanas and sometimes wear his mask from time to time
-youve never seen the turtles in action. you knew they were ninjas though.
-they typically train towards the end of the school day, so if you decide to cut class, you just might catch them
-you silently sit beside a panting Donatello and compliment his skills, he’ll say thanks and then suddenly realize your presence
-you’re sent back to school lol
-or you just have to wait in the livingroom
-Mikey is actually the one who offers to train you and the boys actually think it’s a good idea since he’s really patient with you and he took the longest to learn the art of ninjitsu when they were little
-sometimes Mikey strays from the lesson, so be sure to remind him that you’re training
-Leo begins to supervise when he hears laughter in the dojo
-he eventually takes over and you actually learn a lot more faster and realize Mikey was going super easy on you and taking it really slow
-you won’t be sparring for a while. Leo doesn’t want you getting hurt. they don’t know their own strength sometimes
-you have the most gifts on christmas, ill tell you that
-the turtles are basically your big bros
-you can’t stay late!!! forgot to mention that. they will not allow it... unless you have a good excuse set for your parent(s)/guardian(s)
