Leo having a crush on you <3
(Male Yn/male reader)
Fluff?
(A/n: Sorry this is so ass, it’s 3am as I write this and my English is failing me.)
Use of he/him pronouns!
When Leonardo first met you he had been fighting with the foot clan after noticing you being harassed by them during his nightly patrol, he had stepped in and finished them off within minutes, saving you from being attacked, although whilst he was fighting Leo didn’t get much of a chance to really look at you, but also partly due to all the weapons being swung at his head.Leonardo looked incredible to you, you couldn’t help but admire him when you had seen him do such impressive moves so flawlessly all while trying to protect you!
When the battle finally finished you had been wounded and Leonardo found there was no other choice than to bring you back to the Lair for aid from Donnie. “Hold on, I’m gonna get you help!” was the last thing you had heard from the blue masked man before waking up in a room with a pungent smell, surrounded by open pizza boxes and..multiple turtles?You wanted to scream yet no sound left your mouth, were you kidnapped?What is this place?Is the smell of pizza going to stick to your clothes forever??
After adjusting to the darkness, the purple masked turtle-whom you later learnt was named Donatello-similar to the artist, had been the one to have you on an iv drip and apparently has a vast knowledge of medicine, you had thought things couldn’t get any weirder when you had a pear-headed turtle mutant with a purple bandana on preventing you from bleeding out, but you gave up on explanations once a mutant with a yellow bandana politely asked if you wanted to try his..pizza milkshake..yuck.
After spending some time in the lair you learnt that the handsome blue masked hero that’d saved you was named Leonardo, huh another artist..you were starting to sense a pattern..
Leonardo was apparently in charge of what goes around here-although he himself had a leader named Master Splinter, who was a rat-man-thing; after being nursed back to health by Donatello and Leonardo respectively, you realised that they were so much more than strange, slightly scary mutants, they were kind, thoughtful, sometimes aggressive-or maybe that’s just the red banded one..
Even after recovering you had decided to stick around, often returning to the lair on weekends, partially because they were good company-Raph with his temper and wit, Donnie with his smartness and patience to help you with your projects, Mikey with his silly nature and upbeat attitude, and Leonardo with his heart of pure gold, always willing to help and never giving up on people-even those who were clearly evil.You were the closest with him of course, he had taken an interest in helping you with defending yourself and you both only became closer after you had walked in during his movie marathon of Space hero’s sequels.. “hey, is that Space Heros II?” “YOU KNOW SPACE HEROS??”
Over time, it became more apparent to the other brothers how you seemed to have a magical effect on Leo, normally he would give lectures about being reckless when the others would mess up during their missions-when they acted dumb or weren’t paying attention to the plan when fighting with the Kraang or purple dragons and it would cost them their victory-Leonardo often took these losses to heart and felt as though it reflected on his ability as a leader, but when you were around he would simply mumble about improvements and change the topic, it was noticeable, even the dumbest of the dumb noticed.(Mikey)
Michelangelo even started using you as a form of protection when he would irritate Leo-knowing that he wouldn’t want to hurt you or even raise his voice in your general direction.
“Ugh-Mikey, what are you doing??”
“Just having my y/n meat shield at the ready!”
The brothers saw how Leo pined for you, moping around when you weren’t at the lair-him getting more distracted easily and him making self deprecating jokes, they found it slightly pathetic, they saw how you looked at him like he was the coolest guy ever when he quoted Space Hero’s.Only someone in love with Leo could look that interested, it was clear you were both into each other.
“C'mon this is getting pathetic, we need to figure out a way to get them to stop pining and giving each-other heart eyes!it’s getting annoying…and gross, we already have to deal with Donnie giving April goo eyes, we can’t deal with another turtle acting all lovey-dovey.” Raphael grumbled, hitting the punching bag out of frustration as Mikey and Donnie devised a plan…of sorts, but not before Donnie glared at Raphael for his remark about him and April.
“You’re right Raphael, we need to speed up this natural process of love and concoct it ourselves….alright I've come up with a plan, it’s called“-OPERATION MAKE LEO JEALOUS AND CONFESS HIS FEELINGS TO Y/N”
“That’s a dumb name…”
“That IS a dumb name…”
“Ugh whatever, you guys are no fun”
“Fine. What's the plan?”
“Okay so…”
Leo had woken up from a long nap, it was freshly midnight, he was planning on rewatching Space Hero’s with his y/n for the millionth time and quoting his favourite lines just to impress them! No…not his y/n, not yet anyway…
“Hey y/n, want to watch space hero’s with me?” Leo asked coolly, already ordering pizza and finding the most comfortable place to sit, he was prepared to have a relaxed day and spend time with y/n, but also feeling slightly nervous-every-time he hangs out with you he gets all jittery.
“Ah I can’t, sorry…Raph invited me to hang out in the dojo with him and I promised I would, said it was important for me to meditate with him!” you looked away guiltily.
Leo felt his shoulder slump at the rejection, before sitting up and really thinking..‘Meditate…raph…important?’Leo was unsure if he had actually woken up or if this was a dream-maybe he hit his head or had some form of concussion, maybe he’d reached nirvana whilst meditating?…nah, this can’t be right.. Raph normally avoided meditations like they were the plague, sensei normally had to practically force Raphael to do them by threatening to not let him go on patrols, since when did he choose to do it…and why invite y/n?Raphael had been courteous to y/n sure but they never had hung out together, the thought made Leo feel uneasy and as though he was missing something.
“Hey Leo, sorry they’re gonna be busy for a while” a voice rang out from behind him, the familiar red bandana flashed across his peripheral as Raphael strolled up and wrapped an arm around y/n’s waist, Leonardo couldn’t help but feel his eye twitch at the contact and feel his stomach twist in disgust and something unfamiliar, although he couldn’t help but notice that your face remained neutral to his touch, feeling a small sense of relief at the fact.
“Oh that’s..fine.” Leo murmured through gritted teeth, trying to keep his unknown feeling in check for now as he not-so-subtly stormed back to his room.
Over the next few days Leonardo felt as though he must’ve done something evil in his past life to deserve this, as Raphael hung out with y/n more and more, his brother casually laughing and touching you like it was nothing..it was making his blood boil over and driving him crazy; Leo had tried everything! Meditation, focusing on honing his skills with master splinter, every time Leonardo tried to hang out with you Raphael always snuck up first and even when it seemed you would decline Raphael would quickly whisk you away, this weekend had not been going well, even SpaceHeros couldn’t distract him from the flirty sight in front of him, Raphael with his legs on your lap, but once he leaned forward-tucking your hair behind your ear Leo had finally decided enough was enough.
“Raph, can you come here a second?” Leo asked, trying to keep his voice calm and collected, as Raphael casually replied “Why of course my dear leader” as he slowly pulled his legs off of your lap, Leonardo could feel the smugness in his tone, which pissed him off further.
“Sorry y/n, Lame-o-nardo needs me for something, I’ll only be a minute!” Is all Raphael had to say as Leo dragged Raph to his room.
“Okay, what are you playing at” Leo growls, wanting to wipe that smug smile off his brother.
Raphael’s smile widened as he looked down at his nails and replied“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” the blue masked turtle felt one step away from exploding with frustration at the lack of answers, feeling as though Raph was hiding something but not knowing what it was, it was all making Leo go insane.
“Why are you suddenly hanging out with him?You never cared to before and now you’re hanging out with them all the time??” Was the only proper excuse the leader could muster up.
“Well, I thought their time would be better spent with me, besides they’re pretty cool.”Raphael shrugged.
Leonardo couldn’t disagree with him on that, in fact, it was one of the few things he would agree with.
“Just-whatever you’re trying to do, stop it”
“Or what, O’ fearless leader??You gonna punch me over your lil boyfriend?”Raphael was pressing at his buttons and-being his brother and all-knew all the right (or wrong) things that would make Leonardo tick.
Leo’s face exploded into a deep blush as he spluttered out an excuse “it’s-wh-it’s not like that!!”feeling humiliated and not having any smart come back,he remained silent and glared at his brother.
“Oh so you wouldn’t mind if I was to kiss them, right?” Raph smirked, Leo had never felt so much rage in his entire life. “Look Raph, y/n isn’t a toy??You can’t just use him-we are good guys, this isn’t how we’re supposed to act.” Leo angrily answered, lashing out at his brother.
“Just tell them that you like them and I’ll stop.”Raphael whispered curtly, as Leo rolled his eyes and held his head in his hands, there’s so many possible ways this could go, he wasn’t ready to be rejected yet-but he didn’t want Raphael playing with your feelings like it was a simple game, so finally he gathered up the courage and walked back to where you were, deciding he would much rather get rejected and get his brother to back off than have his dick of a brother hurt your feelings.
“Hey y/n..I have to tell you something..”
