Pair: Bayverse!Leo x Fem!Reader
Summary: It's been 6 months since coming back to New York. Will you forgive the Turtles for their mistake?
Warning: implied sex, mentions of sex
A lot has changed since you came back from supposed death.
Splinter has explained to the turtles about your death and was furious, they didn't trust you much afterwards. Unlike the other three, Michelangelo tried his best to be around you even though became cold and disconnected. He misses his best friend, you coming back was the best thing that happened to him in a long time. So the fact you barely even acknowledge him or his brothers hurt him a lot.
The first three months were painful for you and for the four turtles, you all barely spoke to each other and only you visit the sewers to see Splinter and told him news about the Ancient One and why you've come back to New York.
The fourth month is when Raph let his anger out on you. You were coming by the lair to tell Splinter the news your team will be arriving in two months time, you wanted to ask him for permission to have Gojo and Geto over at the lair to discuss planning when you encountered Raphael leaning against the entrance of the lair. You gave him the cold shoulder and was about to go around when he yelled at you, telling you how much you've hurt his family.
Which ended up you telling him the truth, how they all thought you were weak and you didn't bring anything to the team, how depressed you got and the only way to live your life is to move on and away from them. Raph didn't know what came over him as he presses his rough lips against yours, sexually frustrated for a while now, you responded as you wrapped your arms around his neck and his hands placed on your ass lifting you from the ground.
That night you unintentionally slept with Raphael.
The next morning, Mikey found you sneaking out of the hothead's room holding your jeans in your hands as you borrowed his t-shirt. And that day, you had a talk with everyone.
About you.
You all gathered around the dining table eating pizza, their usual meal, Splinter sat at the head of the table as everyone ate silently.
"I believe (Y/n) has something to tell us" Splinter announces.
"About what?" Raph says walking in, he snatches a cup of coffee and drinking it.
"Why I faked my death and came back alive" you stated, glancing at Splinter who gave you a stern nod.
You take a deep breath. "So... you still think I'm weak?"
The turtles froze.
"Here" you said bringing out evidence of the Foot Clan you've been gathering for a month. "Still think I didn't bring enough to the table?"
"Or are we gonna pretend that I've been nothing but an ordinary girl sitting on the couch doing nothing"
The tension thickens as you stood from your stop slamming down your hand. "I fucking sacrificed a lot being your friend, I never took you for granted because I loved you guys and all you did was talk behind my back how I'm worth nothing"
"I didn't say anything..." Mikey frowns.
"No but Raphael did, Donatello oh let's not forget Leonardo. What happened then? The hothead complains so everyone joins in?" You spat.
"And you!" You pointed at Leo. "You were suppose to have my back. You decieved me"
Another silence fills the air.
No one knew how to respond, even Splinter who walked out knowingly this is his son's responsibility. You angrily wipe off the tears gathered in your eyes, you hated feeling weak and for the past two years and a half all you've done is prove to yourself that your tough. You can handle things. And if things got all tough, you'd be find because you know you can surpass it.
"I have another month to go before I leave to go back to Japan" you announced.
"You're leaving?" Mikey said sadly.
"You just arrived. I know we barely talked but is there anything we can do to make it up to you" Donnie begs.
"You know it was just banter" Raph spoke up, his voice gentle, totally different from the night before. "We didn't mean to hurt you badly"
"Banter or not, its not an excuse" Leo said, standing up as he takes you hand. "I'm sorry I didn't stand up for you, I'm sorry that I didn't look for more evidence you supposed killed you. I'm sorry"
You gave him a sad smile, "I... I've been wanting to hear that for the longest time. I'm sorry I caused you the pain. Especially..."
Especially you know you had to save me those five times.
Leonardo wrapped his arms around you, as you hugged him back tightly and willingly. The others joined in, hugging you as tight as possible. From Leo's shoulder, you looked up making eye contact with Raph. You both knew what happened the night before was a fluke and won't be happening again, and you both knew, that secret will end up biting you back on your asses.
