~~~~~~~~~~
It was like any other day, up until the fight, that is. You and Leonardo were best friends but more recently heâs been distant. Heâs been distant with everyone in reality but it felt like he was avoiding you in particular. One day you decided to approach him and ask him about his behavior, but you were met with him just brushing it off and basically calling you a liar. With him doing that, you immediately yelled at him and it broke into a huge argument. Words were said that neither of you actually meant, but let out because of the heat of the moment.
After the argument, you decide to take a break from talking to Leonardo and his brothers. Partially because you kinda took what Leo said to heart. You knew he didnât mean half the things he called you, but he still said them. You couldnât tell if you took his words to heart because you secretly liked him or if it was something else. No, you donât âsecretly like him.â Thatâs insane, heâs your best friend, thatâs why his words hurt so bad, right..?
You had convinced yourself that you wanted your life to be ânormalâ for a little while, and being friends with mutant turtles was not that.
Weeks turned into months with no contact. Honestly, you almost forgot about them, so caught up with your life to even remember your best friends. At some point, you got a little restless and decided to visit April, hoping to catch up with whatâs going on without actually talking to the turtles themselves. Thatâs when you heard the terrible news. Karai had killed Mikey, Raph, Don, and Splinter. Leo is next. All you could do when you went home was crawl into bed and cry yourself to sleep.
You donât leave your house for days before, out of nowhere, you get a text from April, telling you to go over to her place. Apparently itâs urgent.
Once you arrive, youâre greeted by four familiar faces. Relief washes over you as you see them smiling in your direction.
âI thought you guys were dead!â You rush over to hug them, tears rolling down your cheeks.
âKarai canât kill us! Weâre like cats, weâve got nine lives.â Mikey definitely hasnât changed a bit, just as loud and confident as ever.
âIf that were true we would be at around seven at this point.â Donnie chimes in.
Once you turn to Leo, you hesitate. He avoids eye contact as he rubs the back of his neck. You can almost see what looks like blush crawling up his neck. You go to hug him, letting him pull away if he wants to, but he doesnât. As you hug him fully, you then whisper into his ear.
âYou have a lot of explaining to do.â Your arms tighten around him as you cry a little harder.
Everyone migrates to the living room and they start to explain whatâs going on. They explain that they have to go into hiding for a bit and that they have to be careful when traveling, because of Karai. Which explains the giant hole that leads to a tunnel in Aprilâs basement wall.
After a while of talking and catching Leo up with whatâs happening in New York, you get invited back to the lair. You accept the invitation, mostly so that you can talk to Leo in private.
After getting a tour of the new lair, Leo pulls you into his room so that you guys can talk.
âSo, you went to train with someone called âthe ancient oneâ and thought it was a good idea to not tell me?â Leo looks down at the ground with shame as you speak.
âIâm sorry, Y/n. I should have told you that Iâd be leaving. You donât need to forgive me, just know that I am truly sorry.â You suddenly pull him into a tight hug, catching him off guard.
âI hate you so much.. But I hate the fact that I forgive you even moreâŚâ He hesitantly hugs you back, burying his face into your neck.
You both stand there, enjoying the feeling of being able to hug each other again after so long, before reluctantly pulling away. You both sit on his bed and catch up, telling each other about what happened over your break from each other.
As he's talking about what he's learned from The Ancient One, he suddenly stops, seemingly remembering something.
âOh yeah! I brought you something from my trip.â He stands up and takes a box from his desk before sitting back down and handing it to you. You hesitantly open it.
Thereâs a bracelet inside. You take it out and examine it carefully. After looking at it, he takes it and puts it on you. You look at it on your wrist and smile.
âItâs so pretty.. Thank you, Leo.â You look back up at him before immediately pulling him into a hug. He hugs you back with no hesitation.
âI saw it and thought of you. I just knew that Iâd have to get it.â
You soon go back to talking, but now you have something to fidget with as you sit there.
While you guys talked, and just appreciated each otherâs presence, you soon realized what time it was. It was getting late. You knew youâd have to go home soon, even if neither of you wanted you to leave.
âLeo, itâs getting late. I should really be going now.â You frown as you look at him.
âI guess thatâs true, let me take y-â You cut him off before he could even finish speaking. You stand and start collecting your things.
âLeonardo, youâre supposed to be in hiding. I canât let you risk your life just so you could spend a few extra minutes with me. We can always talk tomorrow.â You stand in front of him with your hands on your hips.
âBoth Karai and her foot ninja can shove it. I want you to get home safely.â He stands up in front of you. Was it just you or did he get taller than the last time you saw him? He seems more serious now that he isnât five foot. All you could do was laugh a little.
âJust because youâre taller now doesnât mean that youâre not still cute when youâre trying to be serious~â You saying that instantly causes him the blush, he definitely wasnât expecting you to call him cute.
Realizing that you said that out loud, you try to leave as soon as possible, too embarrassed to face him any longer. Youâre trying your hardest to play it off smoothly.
âY/n-â You unintentionally cut Leo off. You donât care what he has to say right now, you need to get out of there before it gets any more awkward.
âA-Anyways, Iâd better get going now. It was really nice talking to you and seeing you again but I better get home before it gets too dark out. Yâknow, donât wanna get jumped or anything! Bye!â You quickly run out of his bedroom, praying that you didnât look too red. As you make your way out of their lair you quickly say goodbye to the boys and run home.
That night you could sleep. You lie in bed, staring at the bracelet as you wonder to yourself why you even said that.
âWhat is wrong with me? Am I insane? I canât just say that to him! I also shouldnât have run out like that! I swear, itâs gonna be horrible trying to talk to him again⌠I bet he hates me now, doesnât he?â
But itâs not just you who couldnât sleep that night. Leo was stuck in his own mind as well.
âDid they really mean that? I didnât know anyone could love a face like this. Other than my own father, that is. How am I going to tell them? I need to talk to them tomorrow, no matter what, I need to tell them how I feel.â
You only got a few hours of sleep last night and you could tell. And youâre sure that anyone else that saw you would think the same. You slowly drag yourself out of bed to go make yourself breakfast. As you walk out of your bedroom, you soon realize that you smell eggs. You quickly make your way to the kitchen and see Leo making breakfast.
âLeo! What the hell are you doing here?!â You quickly walk up to him.
âI wanted to talk to you but soon realized that you werenât awake. So I let myself in.â He smiles at you sweetly, like he didnât just commit breaking and entering.
âLeo, what did I say about breaking into my house.â You cross your arms over your chest and look at him annoyed.
âI didnât break anything, your window was open. And plus, I knew that youâd be too tired to actually make yourself a decent breakfast, and soâŚâ
As he talks you soon zone out, remembering last night and what you said. You immediately turn red. What was he even saying? Oh, just something about how eating healthy is good for you and that sleeping in till noon isnât or whatever.. You couldnât care less. That was until he snapped you out of your trance.
âAre you even listening? Thought so.â He rolled his eyes and continued making breakfast.
âI-I should go get dressed..â You quickly made your way to your bedroom. You knew youâd have to talk to him about your feelings at some point. He needs to know how you feel. But you didnât realize that itâd be so soon. How about next week? Tomorrow? It would be nice if you could prepare even a little before getting thrown into that conversation.
As youâre getting dressed, heâs having the same problem. Although, heâs prepared. He knows exactly what he wants to say and heâs praying that it goes well.
Once you walk out there, after giving yourself a small pep talk first, you sit down at the table and sigh quietly. He walks over to you with a plate with scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. Both exactly how you like them. You thanked him as he took a seat across from you.
All you could do was stare down at your food. Unable to eat because of the tension between the two of you. He notices this and decides itâs time.
âY/n.. Thereâs something I need to tell you⌠I-â He takes a deep breath before continuing.
âI like you, Y/n. More than just friends. And I need you to know that.â You look up at him with surprise. You hesitate before letting him know exactly how you feel.
âMe too⌠I-I just didnât know how to tell you. And with the fight and you being gone for so long, I thought that I missed my chance..â As you speak, you feel a huge weight lift off of your shoulders. You knew that confessing how you felt would make you feel better, but you didnât realize that it would make you feel this much better.
âI- I honestly thought that you would hate me. After everything.â He looks down at his hands on the table. You stand up and walk around the table. You then lean down, cupping both of his cheeks in your hands. He leans into your hands.
âI will never hate you, Leo. Never. Do you understand me? Thereâs nothing in this world that you would do that would make me hate you.â
