Can I request poly! Bayverse Turtles reacting to their gn human crush who confesses their feelings for them but would understand if none of them feel the same please? With a happy ending please!
sorry if the ending seems a little abrupt, i have a second poly!turtles request that will serve as a continuation!
Your words hang heavy in the air, the gravity of what you’d just confessed to bowing your shoulders and leaving a sour film in the back of your throat.
“You… “ It was Leonardo who spoke up first, ever the leader, though he seemed completely out of his depth in that particular moment, breath sticking audibly in his throat before he tried again. “You want all of us?”
Heat surged into your cheeks - did you really have to phrase it that way, Fearless? - and you had to fight against the urge to either flee from the lair or sink straight into the floor. This is exactly why I shouldn’t have said anything, you thought, grimacing even as you nodded your head.
“Yeah,” you managed to pry out, eyes flitting between the brothers even as you braced yourself for the worst - shock, confusion, maybe even disgust.
But instead -
“We could do that?”
“Mikey,” the others’ exasperated sighing of his name did little to dampen the orange-banded turtle’s sudden enthusiasm. If anything, it only seemed to egg him on.
“What? I woulda confessed months ago if I knew angelcakes was holding a torch for all of us.” A pout formed on the turtle’s lips, blue eyes flicking over to where Raphael was looming, the brash turtle’s face switching rapidly between stark realization and dawning horror. “I was just keeping quiet to spare Raphie’s feelings.”
All pairs of eyes swung to the aforementioned turtle, who was glowering at his brother even as his mouth worked around a response.
“Anybody ever tell ya you have a big mouth, numbnuts?” Raphael eventually snapped, though his anger seemed to waffle just as soon as it swelled the moment he caught your gaze. “B-besides,” he quickly deflected, turning blazing eyes towards Leonardo. “What about Fearless? I’ve seen the way he’s been lookin’ at ‘em.”
Leo’s eyes jerked to you and then back to his brother. “I haven’t - ”
Mikey chortled, cutting him off. “You totally have, bro.”
You waited for Leo to deny such a claim, absolutely certain that he would, and felt your heart leap into your throat when, instead, he merely crossed his arms and avoided your gaze.
“Well… ” Your eyes, already in danger of popping out of your skull, widened further as they shifted to Donnie, the bespectacled turtle’s expression a blend of bashful exasperation as he added, “If we’re all spilling our guts here… “
“You too?!” The echo of the brothers’ voices barely penetrated the sudden buzzing in your ears, your mind so fuzzy with shock you couldn’t seem to conjure a single coherent thought, other than -
“I think I should sit down,” you mumbled faintly, groping for one of the mismatched chairs gathered around the dining table and all but collapsing into it while the boys continued to talk over each other.
“Why didn’t you ever say somethin’?” Raphael demanded, pointing at Leo.
The leader scoffed. “Why didn’t you?”
“I did! To Mikey! And look where that got me - “
Mikey snorted. “It was only a matter of time, bro, you were not subtle - “
“Shut up, Mikey!”
“Uh, guys?” Donnie’s voice seemed to rouse his brothers, drawing their attention away from each other and towards you, slumped, shell-shocked in your chair. Whatever expression you were wearing must have been pretty alarming, judging by how quickly Raph gave up the fight, taking a hesitant step toward you and raising his hands as though in surrender.
“Hey, uh, ya alright there?”
You turned your wide-eyed gaze to his. Raphael nodded, as though whatever expression you were sporting had just answered his question, before shooting an uncharacteristically helpless look at Leonardo. “Uh, Leo?”
Leo seemed just as flummoxed as his hot-tempered brother and twice as concerned once he too got a good look at your face. “Right. Right. Uh. Donnie?”
Donatello sighed, rubbing at the bridge of his nose. “Look, clearly we’re a little… unequipped to handle what all of this means right now.” He glanced at his brothers, half of whom looked completely lost, and smiled wanly, as if his point had just been proven. “We should… talk. A bit. A lot. All of us -.”He gestured to his brothers. “And then - ” His eyes landed on you and warmed, lips twitching at the expression on your face. “But maybe… later?”
“Later,” you repeated softly, the first word you’d managed to choke out since your confession. “Yeah. Yes. Later sounds good.”
Donnie smiled. “Good.”
You swallowed, feeling like your feet were finally on solid ground (or at least close enough), and pushed yourself up from your chair. “I should probably - ” You gestured over your shoulder toward the exit, and Mikey almost barreled into Raphael in his haste to reach you.
“I’ll walk ya home!”
“I’ll walk you home,” Donnie interjected, stalling Mikey’s protest with a pointed look toward your face, which even now must have appeared utterly spellbound. “Sorry, Mikey, but I think we could all use a little break from - “
“The excitement,” Leo finished, huffing a laugh as Mikey’s lips curled into a sheepish smile.
“Right, right,” the jovial turtle conceded, rubbing at the back of his neck. “See ya later, angelcakes!”
You smiled, his enthusiasm contagious, and waved your goodbyes as you followed after Donnie. The coolness of the air in the tunnels was like a balm against your overheated face, though it did little to calm the buzzing of your thoughts, your head filled with what you could only describe as joyful static.
You had planned to bury your feelings, to stuff them down, suppress suppress suppress, and instead what you done? Blurted them out for all the world to hear, as though you weren’t risking the turtles’ friendship and your place in their world in doing so. As though you would have been able to live with yourself after, if they’d hated you for it.
But they hadn’t, and now you were so consumed by that fact that you could scarcely devote any shred of understanding toward what that actually meant.
It was good, then, that Donatello was there to coax you away from the scramble of your thoughts.
“So,” he started awkwardly, your footsteps falling in sync as he met your pace. “That was… “
“A lot,” you finished for him, your lips twitching as he snorted. Understatement of the century.
“How are you feeling, about all of it?”
“I’m - “ Confused? Elated? “ - processing. Relieved, mostly.” Your lips settled into a self-deprecating grin, recalling the dull ache of dread you’d felt when you’d first confessed. “Thought I’d ruined everything for a minute there.”
“Ruined everything?” Donnie parroted, and you could feel his gaze on your bent head. “You know, even if we hadn’t, uh, returned your feelings, it wouldn’t have changed anything.”
You shot him a look. “Donnie.”
The purple-banded turtle huffed and conceded, “Okay, okay, maybe it would have been … awkward, but only for a little bit! We would have gotten over it. You’re our friend, first and foremost. That wouldn’t have changed.”
The knot that had settled somewhere in the vicinity of your chest whenever you’d confessed unraveled at the warmth in his voice, at his surety. “Thanks, Donnie,” you murmured, glancing up at him, only to feel your heart leap as he caught your eye and flushed, cheeks blooming a darker shade of green.
He really does feel the same, you realized abruptly, throat running dry. They all did. Oh god.
“Well, here we are!” Donnie coughed, gesturing overhead to the manhole that would spit you out onto your street.
“Right.” You sucked in a breath and prepared to grab hold of the ladder to haul yourself up, only to pause as Donatello called your name.
“It'll all work out, you’ll see,” he assured you once you caught his gaze, amber eyes warm behind his glasses. “So don’t worry too much, okay?”
You smiled. Easier said than done, you thought, but his assurances certainly helped. “Okay,” you breathed. You settled one shoe on the lowest rung, and then stilled as a three-fingered hand settled carefully against your cheek and Donnie ducked down to press a quick, soft kiss to your brow. Your breath hitched, and though he’d been the one to do it, the kiss seemed to have an even more profound effect on Donnie, if the flustered expression on his face was anything to go by.
“Okay, bye!” he choked out, jerking his hand away from your cheek, and then he was off, the tools in his belt jangling against each other as he darted down the corridor.
You stared after him, half slumped against the ladder, and felt your lips twitch before they curled, slowly, like a flower blooming, until they grew into a smile so wide it made your cheeks ache.
To get things going let's start off with a good prompt ♡
How would a Poly Relationship work between the Turtles and Y/N ?
[Gender Neutral Portrayal is my thing btw lmao]
[ also I loooove Poly Turtles. Its so rare now of days tbh ]
Warnings : Hints of Nsfw. Implied Sex & Sexual Romance ♡
This is mostly fluff tho !
Y/N has been crushing on the Turtles for a while now as has finally broken thier silence about their feelings. They figured a few ideas on how to possibly give all of them the same and equal treatment of love they deserve. A polyamorous relationship! Hopefully things can workout... hopefully.
Leo
Welllll- at first he wasn't really sure how this would go at first.
Lowkey didn't like the idea when first presented. He basically felt like it was showing that no commitment could be made if y/n was also having feelings for his brothers.
Don't get me wrong. He loves you but, this idea made him give you a bit of a scolding talk to after a few minutes of debating.
Luckily you are able to explain to him what this would all entail and you reassure him you will love him just the same as everyone .
Happy but definitely would have a tinge of jealousy thinking he can't have himself to you most of the time.
Fast forward to a few months of this relationship and lets just say he's easily the one who gets first dibs on kisses and stuff.
Constant argues with Raph about how he is being "too touchy with you" but he's a hypocrite.
Leo ALWAYS has his hands on you in private. Its the foreplay mood he likes to build up
Leader in battle and leader in the relationship
Warms up to the idea of having others in your heart and you have told him and made sure he knows you have a big piece of him in yours.
He's content with that and feels like he definitely won't lose you to anyone else.
Raph
Oh boy Raph asserted himself as the top dog over the others.
Against it right off the bat. Mainly cause he didn't like the idea of his bothers falling for someone he liked way before amy othe his brothers did.
Yes. He believes he caught feelings for you first (lowkey he did tho so he ain't wrong) and he will die on that hill.
Down BAD for you from the get go. And plans on letting his bros know he's got the hots for you.
Mainly the instigator in arguments about who loves you more. Mainly towards Leo since he know how he gets around you.
Handsy is an understatement.. HE IS ALL OVER YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
easy to provoke sexual intentionally and unintentionally. Man loves the idea of a tease. And he will reciprocate that
Down the line he gets less reserved and more okay with sharing you but he still has that jealousy and mindset of being your top lover.
You kind of have to learn to sometimes give into his subtle and "not so" subtle cues about affection and intimacy
Him and Leo kind of bond over talking about how beautiful / handsome you are. They are infatuated with you.
Raph is probably the most if not tied with Leo on how protective he is worh you. But he of course is a huge softie underneath all that plastron and muscle.
Donnie
Donnie actually kind of agreed to it easily.
Being a scientist as well as some trying to figure stuff out he kind of wanted to learn some things about it.
The only kind of negative thing about it at first was he kind of treated this type of thing as a lab study or research.
Not in a bad way but he focused alot on the scientific stuff more than romance but after expressing how you don't want him thinking of it as a experiment he chills put. And actually starts enjoying it.
Suprising very chill and calm.ablut when his bros get jealous. He kind of teases when he gets his turn to have you for the night or day.
Very light levels of jealously if any. He is content and knows you love him so he's very confident in himself.
Never would be the one to start any type of argument about who you love more.
The type to skip going on a training day to sneak a cuddle in with you. He would easily lie and say he has to do some routine diagnostics on the shellraiser or something
Humbling and can come.back with snarky remarks if people step put of line tho. Tho he is more reserved then them all.
Relies on advice from mikey - (yeah I know that's insane but its true) - when it comes to ideas on how to swoon you over.
Can and will make sure "if your okay with it" to set a schedule on checking in to make sure your okay if your not at the lair for long periods of time. He just wants to know you are safe.
Mikey
Chill AF like in a weird way. Still confuses you to this day how okay he was with this.
Never once showed any aggressiveness towards the others when they are around you. But will definitely tease raph to pass him off.
This mf literally will not stop having contact with you. He loves it when your around and will show it through physical affection
His form of jealousy is literally just puppy eyes and pouting. AND YOU FALL FOR IT EVERY SINGLE TIME !
Always offers and left over pizza to you first. He is a considerate gentleman after all.
Game nights you get the best controller. He doesn't care if the other fuss about stick drift or anything you get the best one. End. Of. Discussion.
Can go overboard with his ideas of a datenight. And will steal you away from.the others to get an extra hour or few minutes with you.
Kind of the glue of this relationship. He is the comical relief and weirdly would give the most out of pocket wisdom tips to everyone. Literally. It wields leo the fuck out at times how smart he can be.
Would be okay with having a joined cuddle with one of his bros and you. He use to be babied when he was younger so he likes to be the middle spoon in a cuddle honestly.
Flirty as hell along with Raph. He will give lewd remarks following after or before Raph. He will find a way to make you blush.
Made it his mission to please and make sure everyone is okay. He can be a little shit at times but he will always try his best to comply and follow the rules.
God I haven't written is sooooo loonggg! Hope this was alright haha !
Anyways I will try and be more active so be prepared for more posts ♡
A continuation of the conversation in chapter 1. Chapter 3 will be the first date with one of the turtles 🐢 ❤️ the turtles are 25+ years old! Chapter 1 is linked below
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
"So. Let's talk about boundaries? I mean, that's pretty important." You sat forward in your chair, gazing back and forth between the four of the turtles. You all had finished eating the pizzas and were still sitting at the table.
Donnie shifted in his chair. "Well, first of all, are you sure about this? We're okay with giving you space or time to really consider this. Dating all four of us..." He looked at the others around the table. "It can be overwhelming."
Leo chimed in. "We're willing to let you pick one of us and slowly work up to dating all of us. Or stick with just one."
You raised an eyebrow and crossed your arms across your chest. "That... doesn't seem right. What if I start dating you, Leo, and only you, I'm not sure Raph would appreciate that." You smirked teasingly at Raph. He chuckled as they both looked at each other almost in equal understanding and you continued, "I want all of you... or none of you."
All of the turtles once again shared a look, this time you recognized it as surprise which then morphed into the biggest smiles you'd ever seen on their faces.
Mikey was the first to look back at you and he held your gaze as he spoke, "Dudette... you are so cool." His smile and his eyes turned soft as if he wanted to pull you in for a close hug. Your heart began to race and your blush came in full force. Usually, Mikey was a lot more boisterous. You thought he'd be jumping with excitement. You smiled at him, at all of them before nodding your head in an affirmative.
"I'm sure about this. I've been... crushing on you guys for a while, for years. I just never said anything because I don't want to come between the four of you. What about jealousy?" You asked them. You knew it was inevitably, even with how confident they were being in this moment.
"That's something that we know will happen," Leo said, "we have talked through every angle of this and that is something that we will continue to talk through."
You shifted in your seat again, "I want to be a part of those conversations. I mean, if I'm doing something wrong..."
"We'll talk about that with you individually. But any... issues that we have with each other will be talked about discreetly." Donnie added on.
"'Talked about'?" You side eyed Raph and Leo. "Just talked about? No fighting?"
Raph and Leo locked eyes before nodding in affirmation. "We'll deal it out in the dojo." Raph said with a huff of a laugh.
"What-" You started.
"With supervision." Leo cut in.
You frowned your eyebrows and pursed your lips, unsure how to feel about that. You took a deep breath smoothly, "Alright. I trust you guys. But please, if I'm ever doing something wrong or not meeting your needs..."
Donnie spoke again, "We will tell you. And we want you to do the same with us."
You nodded before locking eyes with Mikey. "Mike... you've been pretty quiet over there."
"Oh, me? I'm all good, Anglecakes." He maintained his large smile that he'd had ever since you agreed to date them. "I'm saving all of my energy for when we have some alone time." He winked at you.
You felt a giggle bubbling up from your chest as your face flushed. "Oh... okay, then. So, speaking of that, how is this going to work? How can I make enough time for all four of you?"
Raph shrugged his shoulders a bit, "Well, yer down here almost everynight anyway. We split up the nights."
"So... what? Leo gets Mondays, Raph gets Tuesdays, Donnie gets Wednesdays, and Mikey gets Thursdays?" You rattled off the first idea that came to your mind. You didn't expect them to agree but to your surprise, they said in unison, "Exactly!"
While they're all nodding their heads in agreement, you covered your face with both of your hands as your blush grew worse. The reality of the situation was starting to settle in and your heart was racing. You were really doing this...
Set within a future timeline set 5 years from the main canon of the series. The Turtles are now older and are active as ever. Everything seemed to be okay. Nothing was out of place. Your lives seeming to have been moving on from the past incidents of your youth.
At least... thats what they thought.
During a routine patrol , a discovery was found , [ REDACTED ] . and that's when it all began to spiral out of control . . .
•••••••••■
Kind of an ominous teaser depiction of the story but it sets the tone... ideally this is taking alot of research as well as brainstorming to come up with so bare with me on this one 😅.
So basically BTLL's storyline has that time travel set up with it being a freak accident that sends the reader through a rip in thier main timeline sending them 15 years within the future. But something doesn't sit right with them. The dystopian abandoned surroundings feels also indicate a war had taken place. The reader having to try and find out what happened after disappearing within the timeline. Also stumbling across future versions of thier companions. This story will definitely revolve around alot of angst and comfort with bits of cosmic horror and tropes.
This is a big project for me so let's hope I can get all of this done ( by myself too lol )
Oh also it will be kind of a poly!Turtles story. Since they are future versions I wanna have some love dynamics too. ( mostly leo & donnie with y/n tbh. But easily Raph & Mikey get into the mix sort of )
I do eventually wanna get art and designs for the future variants of the turltes but sadly I can't draw like at all 😭
Is it ok if I ask for headcanons of the turtles (separate & poly bc I love all of them too much) realize they are in love with their shy, pure and sweet human friend who is open-minded and non-judgemental since they're slow at everything and has no talent that is known so they know how is like to be judged unfairly?
SO i was putting the finishing touches on this, when i realized that i was answering it as if none of the guys were in a relationship with you yet when they realized they loved you.
But that sometimes doesn’t happen. People can start a relationship without being in love and then realize that they do love each other after.
So RIP Werely. I’m sorry!! I hope ya like it!
Enjoy!
Leo:
*he’d be at your place relaxing. Sitting on your couch, leaning back, completely at ease when it hit him so hard he’d actually curl into himself a bit as if someone physically punched his gut.
*it would make so much sense! You made him feel like he can be himself around you. You hold him up when he needs it the most, when he didn’t realize he needed it.
*because he’s leader he’s got a lot on his shoulders and you just lift them off when he’s with you. You’re so calm, patient, understanding, and wise and, honestly, he could go on and on.
*you always made him feel comfortable in his own skin
*he had accepted long ago that being a mutant turtle kinda sucked when it came to the whole world being against who you were (he lost count of the amount of people they’d rescue only to have the scream in their faces)
*he didn’t want to change who he was, he liked being a turtle but he’d be a liar if he didn’t wonder what it’d be like to be human
*but with you around, he liked himself a whole lot more
*butterflies will dance in his stomach once he realizes you had been calling his name to see if he was alright.
*instant blush
*he’d shoot out of his seat. Uh yeah! Fine. I’m fine. Thank you [y/n]. Just, uh, remembered something…needed to be done…in the dojo. He’d have a foot out your window but the pout you’d give him once you asked if he was going to leave he’d put on a brave face. No matter how much he wanted to retreat and meditate to sort these feelings at.
*for the rest of the evening he was a mess. He couldn’t stop staring at you. His mind in a giddy haze. Thinking over and over again how he was in love with you.
*he had never been nervously happy-scared. (what a combination of emotions, Leo)
Raph:
*he’d realize it after he’d be venting to you how frustrated he was how because the world saw him as a freak he couldn’t do what he wanted. He wanted freedom.
*you’d listen and add kind words in reassurance and agree that it was unfair. You didn’t chastise him for wanting more. You didn’t tease him. Didn’t patronize him either. You were just there supporting him and he just…..oh wow! He’d gulp loudly
*he’d go instantly flustered. All words he had got swallowed.
*he knew he liked you, you were a very dear friend, but love? Oh he had no idea when it started but there was no doubt as to why.
*you were perfect
*he’d feel so small under your gaze. Shit he’d give anything to hold you at this moment
*but he was terrified
*he knows you accepted him for him but with this new realization his brain just didn’t want to remember that bit.
*you deserve someone so much better
*being your friend was fine, but being your lover? It was too much to ask.
*after you leave, he’d try to sort out his feelings but mostly trying to keep himself from going after you and scooping you up in his arms begging you to love him in return.
*knowing that he loved you will make him angsty and will avoid you for a while
*once you’ve had enough of him avoiding you and you’ve confronted him (whether or not you cry or fight or both it’ll result in the same) he’d apologize. I’m sorry [y/n]. I’m…uh.. just sortin things out. I don’t wanna talk about it. But do ya…wanna still hang out?
*being with you is such a sweet torture that he knows he should push his feelings for you under a rug but he truly can’t help himself
*you will notice that before the realization that he treated you gently, but now after the realization he’ll treat ya extra gently
Donnie:
*you’d be helping him in his lab when it would hit him. Just being there handing him stuff he needed, listening to his ideas, asking questions, enjoying each others company, humming on occasion.
*he’d drop his tools so fast you’d think they burned him (luckily, he wasn’t working on anything too dangerous)
*his mouth would be open and he’d have a sparkle in his eye, like the way he gets when he has the perfect idea.
*he’ll feel silly and giddy, his heart with do flip flops and he’d want to do the same honestly. He’ll get a burst of energy and he’d want to go do something. Make something. Spar with Raph. Anything
*he’s on cloud nine!!
*once you say his name in question he’d freAKIN SCREECH!!!! (he forgot you were there)
*ok so he came back down to earth but he still bounced on his toes. Seeing you he was reminded that it was nerve wracking to admit one’s feelings
*but you might not return these feelings. He calculated the possibilities and his chances were…slim
*but that didn’t stop his heart from racing whenever you were around him again
*you’d touch his arm to try to see whats wrong and donnie.exe will stop working
*rebooting
*nervous bean shook and wanted to melt in your touch.
*he’ll do more stuff around you/with you just to be around you more. Hot water not working? He’d come fix it right away. Slight virus on your laptop, give him a second. He needs you to help him fix something. I’m sorry [y/n]. This is taking longer than expected to fix this. I might be used to long nights but you..d-d-do you want to take a break? *realizes what he said could be taken as an innuendo* *huh, who knew turtles could get so red?* !!!!!!!!!!!
*just as he thought his heart was full, you do something sweet for him like bring him coffee and he’d feel like he’d combust on the spot.
Mikey:
*it’ll come out of nowhere for him. It happened when everyone was around and you’d let out a laugh that he’d just hear over everyone else and wham! It hit him..
*Sure he flirts with you and seemed confident but once he realizes that he’s in love with you he’ll be bashful. Confidence out the door
*he would not be able to make an coherent sentence for a while
*he’d grab the nearest pillow and whop! Right on his face and scream
*but then he’d hide his feelings behind his flirting (he meant it before, but now it had extra meaning)
*constant squealing on how cute you were
*clingy boy becomes extra clingy
*he’ll have a fire going. Fueling the things he does for you and what he says and things he does with you.
*despite his hopefulness, he’s not an idiot. I knows that love comes with heartbreak sometimes.
*god he hoped his did not ended in heartbreak.
*you’d have no idea of the terror going on in his heart because he’s all smiles and jokes
*but then he’d catch you looking at him with a sparkle in your eye and his fear will melt away.
*honestly after more time passes from his realization the better he’ll feel. Fear and longing turning to giddiness and hope.
*he’ll end up having the most confidence out of all his brothers because he just knew… you know.
*holding onto his feelings was just poisoning his mood. So why do so?
*he’ll still not tell you outright but he’ll show it and literally say everything and anything else that meant it. You’re so cute [y/n]! We’d be the cutest couple around! Eh? Why are you getting red, babycakes? You’re not falling for me are you? ;)
Poly!Turtles:
*after they all individually come to realize that they all love you, it will take a decent amount of time for them to confront each other about it.
*they knew each other well enough to tell the signs when one falls for you.
*there will be sibling rivalry for your attention
*eventually though it’ll start to get kinda hostile.
*despite most of them if not all don’t want to fight, none of them will want to back down either
*it’ll honestly take either Master Splinter telling them to get their shit together and/or you to complain how stupid they’ve become with their fighting for them to finally sit down and discuss what do about this. None of them wanted to back down so…depending on if you’re ok with this,,,could they share?
(A/N: i actually started a fic about this ages ago of how they all just sit down and go through the discussion of being in a poly relationship, i just never finished it so i’m glad that i can sorta do it here)
*they will all agree that it was THE most embarrassing discussion between brothers ever. But it got the job done.
*you’ll notice that they’ll still squabble for your attention but they’d be more respectful of each other.
*if you’re not at the lair, one if not at least two of the guys was are you place.
*when you’d expect to only be hanging out with just one (as it was before) now you’d find yourself in a turtle pile. How many movie nights ended up with everyone squished on the couch?
Alright TMNT fans, this one is for me (and you, of course haha) I plan on writing for this as much as I can. I am a full time student so I will do my best. I really want to see this through because I miss the days where people were writing for poly!turtles. That's exactly what this is. Enjoy!
Edit: I forgot to mention this will eventually be NSFW, its a bit of a slow burn with each turtle. And the turtles are 25+ years old!!
You can confidently say that when you woke up this morning, you didn't expect your four best friends to confess their love for you. You woke up, got ready for work, and drove to the Channel 6 news station where you worked with April O'Neil as her creative editor for the past four years. Essentially, you helped organize and edit her news sections when she didn't have time, too many projects, or needed a fresh pair of eyes.
When you got there today and sat at your desk, one of your best friends and coworkers April popped her head over your cubicle from her desk on the other side.
"Hey y/n, are you going downtown tonight?" She peered at you with a glint in her eyes. Downtown is the nickname that the two of you gave the lair to avoid giving it away. Besides, people talk about downtown cities all of the time.
"Hey April, uh... I didn't plan on going tonight. Why do you ask?" You squinted as you side eyed her. You had been saved by the turtles three years ago when you were walking home with April after a long night of drinking, celebrating her promotion. "I couldn't have done it without you." She had said, right before a few thugs jumped out of the shadows. She made a phone call and boom, the turtles were there in an instant. They seemed shocked that you only fainted once. You've all been inseparable ever since.
"Oh." April physically deflated before puffing up again. "You should totally go tonight. I'll grab some pizzas after work."
"Actually, I can't tonight-" You started to say but she disappeared behind the cubicle divider with a sharp "great!" You settled into your seat and figured that there was no use in arguing. So much for that long bath you were dreaming of this morning.
At the end of the work day, you gathered your things before turning to April... who was already pushing past people to get to the exit. "April! I'll see you there tonight?" You shouted past people, hoping she'd hear you but she was already gone. You sighed, puffing some hair out of your face. She was acting so weird...
Once you arrived at the lair, you quickly realized that she wasn't the only one acting weird. April was no where to be seen, but the smell of pizza was heavy in the air. You saw the turtles huddled around the table in the kitchen and, rightfully, assumed that they were devouring the pizzas. "Hey, guys! Where's April?"
Raphael was the first to turn around, "Oh, 'ey. April? Nah, she hasn't been 'ere." The other three turtles let out a muffled chorus of greetings as they stuffed their faces.
You crossed your arms, and raised an eyebrow. "Oookay. She told me I should come here tonight, and that she was grabbing the pies." You gestured to the four large pizzas.
All of the turtles froze, pizza slices in hand. They locked eyes with each other, but didn't look at you. They quickly huddled closer together and you could hear them whispering. You rolled your eyes, "Alright. Speak up. What the hell is going on?"
"You mean, 'what the shell is going on?' Right?" Mikey chuckled before coming over to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. You couldn't even blush through your frustration. He straightened up when he saw your sobered look.
"Come on, guys! I gave up a long relaxing bath tonight, and everyone is acting so weird." You tried not to pout but you couldn't help the look on your face.
"Aww, don't pout Sweetcheeks. Share a slice with us." Mikey pulled out a chair for you to sit down right at the end of the table. Donnie and Leo smiled at you as they both handed you a plate and a slice of pizza, leaving you with two separate plates each with a slice of pizza.
You bit into a slice and insisted that they tell you what's going on and why everyone was acting strange. It became almost eerily silent as they all sat around the table. Leonardo cleared his throat, "Well, y/n. We've been friends with you for a while now, and well..." He trailed off before Michelangelo picked his sentence.
"We love you, y/n." He spoke seriously as the other turtles just stares down the table at you, searching for your reaction.
You finished chewing before giggling, "Aw! Thank you! That's sweet, Mike. But that doesn't explain what's going on with you all."
Raph chuckled nervously, "Nah, uh... We mean it y/n."
Donnie pipped up with a gulp, "As more than friends."
You slowly put down your slice of pizza as your eyes widened and the second bite you had taken fell from your open mouth. "What? Wait, wait... What?! Are you saying-?"
They all nodded their heads, sharing a look you couldn't place with each other. You sat back in your chair in disbelief. "You love me... All four of you?"
They nodded their heads once again, very seriously. You ran a hand over your hair as you took your time processing what they had just told you. You felt a laugh bubbling in your chest as you looked over each of them. You covered your mouth when the laugh started to leave your face. "Are you pranking me?"
Their faces dropped and you saw the hurt and disappointment plain and clear as day. Raph placed his hands flat on the table, stood up from his chair, and said with a shaky voice, "Jus' say 'no.' You don't gotta play wit' us 'n laugh in our faces."
You quickly reached out and placed your hand on top of his, giving it a squeeze and holding his gaze. "Raph. I-I'm sorry. I'm just in shock... it's not everyday that my best friends confess their love for me. All four of them. At the same time."
Mikey put a hand on Raph shoulder and he sat back down in his chair. Raph flipped his hand so that he was holding yours now. "Sorry."
"It's okay." You let out a tense sigh. "So... all four of you? Really? Are you guys... okay?"
They all laughed a bit at that and Donnie adjusted his glasses as he spoke, "Of course we're okay."
"No, I mean, are you all okay... with this? With... sharing me?" With a tug, you took your hand from Raph's and covered your face with both of your hands. "This is wild... I don't want to come between the four of you, we have to be really sure about this."
All four of them sat up a little straighter at the sound of your words. Without so much as a glance at each other they said in unison, "We're good."
Leo finally spoke up again, "We've been talking about this for months and-"
"Months?" You gasped
"-And we've all felt this way for years so-"
"Years!?" You shot up from your chair, picking up a pizza slice and shoving it in your mouth to calm your racing heart. And to prevent yourself from saying anything too crazy. You paced back and forth behind your chair. You gulped down your food, before hanging your head on the back of your chair. "Years... Well, I guess I should tell you guys that I've felt the same way for years. I just didn't say anything because... well..."
"Wait a minute. You have felt the same about us. All four of us?" Donnie leaned forward with his elbows on the table.
You blushed as you grabbed your second slice of pizza. You let out a quick 'yes' before stuffing your face once again. The turtles shared a look before they all let out some chuckles and Mikey pumps his fists in the air. You sat back down in your chair. "So. Where do we go from here? I mean... what are you guys expecting from this?"
They all shared a look once again and Mikey spoke up this time. "We want you to date us."
Donnie pitched in, "Individually. But at the same time. We each want a separate relationship with you but simultaneously."
"With clear boundaries, and we can talk about that in the near future." Leo stated.
Raph chuckled, "And we're hoping yer up for it."
You let out a shudder of a sigh, looking them each in the eyes and giving them a final nod. "Okay. Let's do this."
