Lol hope that makes e sense

Hope you have a good day

°•.•°

Raph

When you kiss the back of Raphs hand saying goodbye it first catches him off guard

He finds it endearingly silly how you take his large hand in yours to do so, the contrast adorable in his eyes

After the next few times it flusters him, feeling your soft skin on his rough hands from all his years of fighting. He starts looking away to try and hide his wobbly smile.

You get more courageous and start doing it for any little greeting, like seeing him just when entering a room, even if you already saw him when you first got to the lair.

He becomes rather forgetful, needing to refocus on what he had been doing.

He finds himself often looking at his hands where you most recently kissed him, swearing that he could feel the ghost of your lips on his skin and feeling giddy.

One night when leaving you kissed his hand as usual, but you lingered, purposely looking up at him. He glanced at you since you were taking longer and finally it clicked for him.

The next time you're over, before you could reach for his hand he's picked you up in one arm, still offering his free hand to you. You giggle and kiss the back of his hand, and afterwards he kisses your lips, his fingers lacing through your hair.

Leo

The first time you kiss him across the knuckles he freezes for a moment and then asks, "uh, why so formal?"

Your reply of 'just cause' has him over thinking it until the next time you come over, though it still doesn't click

The second time, he takes your hand and does it back, never one to be outdone on grandeur, and he always greets you the same since then

Each time he tries to come up with a different greeting to say. "Hola mi estrella," "ciao, bello/bella," "hi there, hot stuff!"

Even if your usual reaction is to just laugh at him, he still loves getting any reaction out of you.

All his attempts to fluster you seem like they never even phase you, while when you kiss his hand he's fighting off a wobbly smile.

With this dance going on for so long, finally you meet his greeting with, "surprised you haven't gotten the hint and just kissed me already."

He can't save himself this time and actually sputters, which has you laughing at him again. He huffs and pulls you into a dip, saying "you literally asked for it," before kissing you.

Donnie

The first time you kiss his hand he is flabbergasted. Jaw dropped, almost looking disgusted but really he's just confused. You go to apologize and he shakes his head, stuttering out, "ah, um, it's fine."

The second time you're slower with it so he can pull away if he wants, and he doesn't, so you go through with kissing his knuckles and are only a little surprised when he does the same.

Is he doing it as a part of masking? Is he doing it to hide his blushing face? Is he doing it in an attempt to return politeness? Perhaps an amalgamation of all this and more.

He is in his lab corkboard and red stringing about these incidents now every time after you kiss his hand, trying to math out every little detail and why the sudden change.

Both of you are pining oblivious shy idiots honestly- reading social cues is already hard enough but with the two of you fumbling no one is getting anywhere any time soon.

Thankfully, or maybe not so, Mikey and Leo make a plan and bring Donnies theory board out into the lair on a night you're visiting.

Donnie is plotting murder while you're stuck not knowing how to react because it's just so romantic that he was trying so hard to figure it out.

You grab his hand and kiss his knuckles again, only to reach out with your other palm and place it on his cheek as you kiss him. His murderous intentions get put on the back burner.

Mikey

He's curious first but uncharacteristically he freezes stock still when your lips meet his skin. After you wave goodbye he's melting, almost falling to the floor.

The second time you do it you're greeted with a large smile, and Mikey asks giddily, "are you gonna be doing that every time now?" You answer yes.

He's looking smug as he holds out his hand for you ahead of time now, which always makes you laugh, which always makes him smile wider.

He's dancing around the lair. His brothers are rolling their eyes. He's like a teen girl losing their mind over a boy band just from your goodbyes.

On day he asks if he can have another. "Hmm, I don't know 'angelo, what's in it for me?" He plays along and offers a kiss to your knuckles in return. You take this deal, and he knows he's won with how much you blush.

He does this a few more times, just to absolutely 100 percent make sure and totally not just because he likes seeing you blush. It's the same song and dance prior every time, too.

The next time he's smiling so wide you know he's planning something. When he asks for another, you open your mouth with a similar protest to before, and he cuts you off. "I know, I know, a kiss for a kiss. I want both of mine first, though."

You raise an eyebrow, but shrug, taking both his hands to kiss the tops of each. After this he takes one of your hands in his, but the other is under your chin, and he kisses your lips.

How scary do you think it would be for MC the first time the naga boys shed? They just stumble across massive husks of dead scales and scoots. No context given beforehand, and none of the turtles in sight at first.

I think it will depend on if MC has any knowledge about reptiles or not, or how long it's been since the last time they have seen them. Running across the husks would probably freak them out at first.

Now seeing the turtles shed is a bit of another story. Snakes sometimes will need help shedding more stubborn parts of their scales, and there is a period where their eyes will shed as well (I think there's like a protection seal over the actual eye and that's why it sheds)- which will leave the turtles blind for a little bit. Be prepared to be smothered when this happens.

Since they can't see, the turtles will rely on you for guidance. Whether it's to help them get somewhere without running into something, or just to hold onto you because you are familiar. Yes, they could use smell to get around just fine- but you're right here! Any excuse to hold the tiny human they had come across is one that they will use to the fullest.

[dancingdonatello]

hope you’re having a good day! i was hoping to request something romantic w the reader being flirted with at like a fancy party but is kinda oblivious and rise raph gets inexplicably bothered/somewhat annoyed when it happens but can’t really pinpoint why?? until the realisation hits and it’s like the italicised ‘oh’ moment lmao

rise raphael x gn reader

You had been begging Raph for months for him to let you join them at “fighting crime.”

Obviously, he was reluctant. You were small, less spiky, and way more squishy than the rest of them. Raph was so sure that if he hugged you the wrong way, you would pop.

So when his brothers and him decided to go on an intel mission, he decided to finally allow you to tag along. It’d be easy to watch over you that way.

No fighting. No dangerous situations. Just talking to people. You’d be fine.

Except it was at Big Mama’s hotel, below ground, meaning it was Yokai. Raph had no problems with Yokai once so ever. However, they seemed to have a thing for… you.

They surrounded you, patted your skin, twisted your hair, peered at your eyelashes. It drove him insane.

He was so scared one of them were going to accidentally knock you over or poke you in the eye or tug your hair too hard or—

His eyes nearly bugged out of his head when an owl wrapped an arm around your waist and whispered something into your ear.

Or do that.

He felt the itch to go over there and save you, but when he glanced at Leo, he looked particularly relieved to see what Raph had been so angry looking at.

“Nice!” he grinned happily. “If they like them that means they can get more information!”

He spoke with a sing song tone, clearly joyful over this.

The glass in Raph’s hand shattered.

“Ohhh….” Leo droned as heads snapped towards the two of them.

“Hey… are those the turtles on the Wanted Posters Big Mama put everywhere?”

As the Yokai take time to look back and forth between the two and their respective posters.

“Ugh… Raph!” Leo whined as he opened a portal.

The two landed on their beaten up couch. A second and third portal had brought you and Donnie and Mikey back.

“What happened?” Mikey whined before pausing at the way Raph lunged towards you.

“Are you okay?” He picked you up, holding you up by your arms like some kitten. “I shouldn’t have let them too close to you like that… They wouldn’t stop touching you!”

His brothers snickered behind him.

“This is serious!” He defended himself, clutching you close to his plastron. They shouldn’t be able to touch you like that.

You didn’t know them. Raph didn’t know them. They could be dangerous. They could be too rough. They didn’t know how many tries it took Raph to hug you just right without hurting you. They just weren’t Raph, only he was allowed to touch you like that, he possessively thought before it clicked in his head.

He slowly let go of you, awkwardly patting you on the head at your confused look.

Oh. It made sense now.

On my hands and knees asking for the lovesick turtle stuff I am begging that sounds so cute

Woe- very scuffed FF smooch sketches be upon ye

What is size consistency ewhbkdsaj,nm

[saltydoesstuff]

Feral turtles after not seeing MC after a while (like if MC went on a vacation with friends or stayed with family for the holidays), as soon as they hear their car or smell them around again are bolting on all fours- pushing and shoving each other out of the way to try to get to them first. It's like a big cat fight.

So, the moment MC steps out of their car eight giant feral turtles are running at them at full speed--

How they don't get crushed to death is a mystery, because there isn't any way the turtles will be able to stop before they hit them. MC isn't allowed to leave their sight for the following days

[saltydoesstuff]

plastic cling prank but with the feral turtles-

just seeing them faceplant nothing and then freak out wildly. They do not trust doorways for absolute weeks also petty Donnie tossing uranium enriched glitter in your ex’s home.

Still grounded but wanted to toss out dumb ideas

I think I've talked about this before- but y e s.

Mikey and Raph fall for it several times, especially when you act distressed to get them to come to you. Leo and Donnie are pouty and petty, finding some way to get back at you for embarrassing them like that

And also, Donnie would. I don't know how feral Donnie would get his hands on that but normal Donnie would. Feral Donnie would release some kind of infestation of bugs or a dangerous animal into the ex's house- dude just wakes up to a bear cub and a very angry mama trying to get into their house

[yanteetle]

How about some angry raph?

"Who's there! Hands in the air, or we'll shoot!"

Have some angry future Raph. Sorry for literally not posting for 2 years (or more)! He's not very happy about the little interruption, and the mess that'll have to come out of it.

Hear me out- we have self aware ai bot turtles right? And same with the show- what about an Animal Crossing self aware au? Like the turtles are villagers in the new horizons game and somehow is able to figure out that their world is just a game, and the player is in real life.

The turtles are suddenly all over your character, weird new dialogs popping up and them mentioning things that they could not have possibly known about you.

Like upon talking with Mikey, he gives you a gift for something in your in-game house that's in your room (assuming you play in your room) and complimenting your decorations.

Raph will start to lecture you on self-care if you are playing too late, urging you to get some sleep or to eat if you haven't in a while.

Donnie will also give you gifts, his own inventions on what is in your room or something you want. You made a passing mention about a laptop you've been wanting? Whether the game or console was on at the time or not, the next time you hop onto the game he gives you the same laptop you had wanted in real life in game. It's all he can do until he somehow figures out how to bring you into the game. You can't escape from them while on an island! Not easily at least.

Leo becomes flirtier and observant, making more accurate compliments and pick up lines- even if your character looks nothing like you, or doesn't have your name- somehow Leo knows exactly what you look like, and they will all call you by your real name.

[saltydoesstuff]

I just got a really funny thought in my head and I can't get it out so I'm going to dump it on you

So when they first meet the future feral turtles they grap Mc and run away because they see a stronger and bigger being near you weak human you would pick them up and run 

Wall future ferals get sad because the soft nice and warm human being is taken away

Idk I just found this funny and I hope you find it funny to

This is essentially what happens if you have met/befriended the present ferals first

The turtles, both present and future don't really have as good as a grasp on humans as their canon counterparts do. They think of you as small, weak, and unable to protect yourself. They think if you sneeze too hard it'll kill you-

So to say the present ferals have a near heart attack seeing you, their fragile little human, near these large and scary looking versions of them is putting it lightly lol

[saltydoesstuff]

Love your stuff sm xhcgdhdhfh-

HIMMMMMMMM

AAAAAA LOOK AT HIM BEING SO LOVING AND GENTLE AND DFUHSJKNML,.

KISSING YOU ON THE FOREHEAD /P

Is this right? (Feral! Leo x Reader)

((All characters are depicted as 18+ unless stated otherwise)) Fluff, Cuddling, Leo attempting to give smooches (he has no idea what he's doing) ------------------------------------------------ At this point, they were used to the unexpected guests they'd find in their home. Moving upstate to escape the bustling city, they expected to have more peace and quiet. Well, it is a bit quieter at least. The weather had been awfully moody as of late, overcast skies and frequent rain showers kept the land moist and humid. Y/N loved the rain, but they could not deny that the lack of sun was starting to affect their mood. So, what better to cheer themself up by being wrapped in their favorite blanket on the couch with all their favorite snacks and binge watching all their guilty pleasure movies? It's not like anyone can judge them for it, they lived alone! Mostly.

What was supposed to be a self care night by themself quickly became a movie night with a certain red eared slider, after the smell of food had lured him into breaking into their house yet again. At least he didn't break anything on his way in this time. That they know of. Y/N and Leo were halfway through the second movie at this rate, the snacks they had laid out had been completely consumed (they wondered if the brothers ever got full at this rate. Like did they digest things faster or are they just always hungry?). They were still snuggled up in their blanket, leaning against the arm of the couch. They had seen this movie many times before, Y/N practically knew the lines. But Leo watched the screen intensely, his eyes a bit wide. Growing up in the wild, they assumed the brothers had never really seen movies before. Sure they had spotted some old CDs in Leo's pile of trinkets, or seen Donnie fiddling with a disk because of the holographic effect it gave off. But this must be the first time Leo had actually seen a movie being played. Hm. Maybe they should get them all together next sleepover for a proper movie night someday. Lost in their thoughts about how they should go about said movie night, they barely noticed the scene being played. It was a romantic scene, where the main character finally reunites with their lover after thinking they had died to the antagonist. They both rushed towards each other, meeting in the middle with a long awaited embrace. Leo watched the scene with wide eyes, taking in every detail he could. The body language, the tone of which the characters spoke to each other through tears and relieved grins. And the captivating kiss meant to make the audience cheer. He watched it all, his brows furrowing slightly in thought. His eyes flicked towards them for a moment, then back to the scene. This was a way that humans showed love towards each other, wasn't it? He had seen it plenty of times while people watching. Couples holding hands, giving quick kisses or more in public- if that couple was particularly confident. Leo had always made fun of the gesture in the past, not really getting what was so special about it. But now, sitting next to them. He was starting to understand.

Leo looked at them again, noting that they were no longer looking at the screen; but at their lap. They were thinking again. He wished knew what. The communication border between them had been driving him mad since him and his brothers had found this little human in their woods. And sure it had been getting somewhat easier to communicate over time, he still hated that there was so much left he had to guess. He wanted to know what they were feeling in this moment, being alone with him. He wanted to know if they felt the same fluttering feeling in their chest when they looked at him. He wanted to know if they stayed awake at night thinking of him too, or if they were reminded of him in the little things. If he plagued their thoughts like this human had plagued his. If they had to hide their hands from him so he wouldn't see their little fingers wiggle, so they wouldn't accidently get too distracted and reach out and tap him. Did humans even get that urge? He had never felt this way before, not before them. "Uhm.. Leo?" Leo blinked, snapping out of his own little daze. He had gotten much closer to them now, his hands cradling their head gently. His thumbs were brushing the underside of their eyes, his claws giving little taps when he reached the corners of their eyes. Y/N was flustered, their smaller hands holding onto his wrists in a soft grip. They looked confused and shy, gazing up at him with a look that was searching for answers. Leo blinked again, a bit slower this time. He let out a soft huff through his nose. Humans were so soft.. His human was softer. Leo leaned in closer, watching the way their eyes widened slightly. Their cheeks grew warmer under his hands. They didn't move, didn't struggle or try to pull away. If they had Leo would have let go immediately and pull away. The last thing he wanted to do was to scare them. But they didn't. He could feel their pulse underneath his fingers, it was faster than normal. Y/N could feel his soft breathing fanning against her face, his dual eyes seemed thoughtful. They saw him glance briefly at the screen one last time, then their lips. They felt their heart stutter at the implications. With a bated breath, Leo shut his eyes and closed the gap between them; pressing his lips against theirs. He's doing it! He's kissing them, just like the movies! He was showing his love for them the human way! . . . Snort- Leo opened his eyes again to see Y/N, redder than before but shaking- trying to hold in their laughter. He pulled back with a tilted head, making a confused chirp. They started to openly chuckle, their head falling forward and pressing against the top of his plastron. He looked down at them, perplexed. Why were they laughing? Y/N laughed softly, still holding onto his wrists. "W-was that a kiss?" They questioned through chuckles. Leo gave a low grumble and nodded, sounding a bit embarrassed. What had he done wrong? He kissed them! His brows furrowed, a small frown forming. He didn't understand why they were laughing at his display of affection. That wasn't the response he saw when he'd seen other people do it.. After a moment, Y/N had calmed down and lifted their head back up with a smile. "Kissing is more than just pressing your face against someone else's, you know." It was?? Leo blinked, looking more confused. He looked back to the movie, but the romantic scene had long ended. He looked back at them helplessly, his chirping reflecting that. What more went in to how to kiss someone? He did exactly what he saw. He gave a small gruff towards Y/N's amused expression, dipping his head down and burying his head into their chest to hide his embarrassment. They huffed a bit as Leo's weight came down of them, but brought their hand to the back of the turtle's head. Gently petting the scaley surface. "It's okay, bud. We can always try again."

[saltydoesstuff]

How would the feral au turtles react to finding MC crying

They find you crying

Finally getting requests done whoo! For any and all requests that I've gotten I'm gonna be doing a HC format for them just so I can actually get these done. Some of these requests have been in my inbox for a hot minute -w-'

Not proofread

Raph

Oh god. Oh god. What does he do? What should he do? Are you hurt? He doesn't smell any blood on you.. Is it an internal injury?!

Man is panicking hard, frozen in place and watching you cry- trying hard to figure out the cause and how to fix it.

As much as the turtles try, Raph has a bit of a hard time with dealing with emotions. It isn't something physical or something he can see in front of him. It's not something he can growl or scratch and scare away. Or a wound that he can treat and make it better. It frustrates him that there is a type of pain that he can't see that hurts you just as much as if you were actually hurt. He can't protect you from something he can't see. He almost starts crying with you.

When it comes to comforting you, Raph is a bit awkward at first. It's almost funny, seeing the huge bulking turtle hesitate and hover over you like you're made of glass- terrified that one wrong move or sound will make things worse. But eventually, he settles on just sitting with you.

He doesn't touch you unless you reach out for him first. Only then will he pick you up and sit you on his lap, wrapping you in the biggest bear hug you've ever had in your life. He lets you rant about what made you upset, letting out an occasional rumble to let you know he's listening.

After you've calmed down, Raph will linger for a while just in case. If this is early in the relationship- He'll be more tolerant towards things you try to get him to do, like trying to dress him up or getting him to try human technology. He won't grumble and pout about it as much, not wanting to upset you again.

Donnie

Like Raph, Donnie struggles with emotions. It's not something that is physically in front of him to probe and take apart to fix (he's tried that once with you before. It ended with a bump on his head and him being locked out of the house for a week).

Surprisingly but not actually all that surprising, he's even more awkward about it than Raph. You know that gif of a guy comforting a girl who's sick by petting her back with a broom while he stands in the doorway? Yeah, that's Donnie.

His method of comforting is simply by being in the same space as you. Not close or touching, but present enough to let you know that he is there and you are not alone. And if you start talking about what upset you, he'll listen.

If you seek him out for physical comfort, he freezes up and bristles. He won't stop you, but most he can offer in return is some awkward pats and a low rumble.

After you've calmed down, Donnie will go back to his normal attitude. But he does linger a bit longer for a while after, his snark a bit softer.

Leo

Dramatic as hell. Treats the situation like you both are in a soap opera even though he has no idea what those are.

Gets super clingy with you. He thinks that if he tries hard enough, that affection will make you feel better. Drags you into his lap and holds onto you, nuzzling and chirping and gently rocking you both back and forth.

Will occasionally try to do silly things to make you laugh. Silly faces, trips over things on purpose, starts shit with his brothers- he once tried to imitate a street performer he saw that juggled knives. Band aids and forehead smooches were needed.

Will bring you gifts to try and cheer you up. From shiny rocks to people's wallets- anything from his stash he thinks will cheer you up he will bring to you. If his stuff doesn't work he mayy 'borrow' from his brother's things to gift to you instead.

SINCE WHEN DID HE RIP OUT A STREET SIGN???

When you've calmed down, Leo calms down in turn. He'll still be a bit clingy for a while after. Will lean on you more, wrap an arm around you and rest his chin on your head- simple but meaningful gestures to show you that he's there.

Mikey

Most normal out of the four. He may be feral but he hasn't lost his emotional intelligence.

Will approach you as if you were a wounded animal, slow steps and soft chirps. If you don't want him near, he'll understand and give you space. If you do want him there, he'll sit next to you and rub your back softly.

Will actually listen to you vent. Sure the others do listen to you, but Mikey is the one that actually responds back. Tilts his head when he wants you to elaborate on something, huffs and pouts when someone is mentioned, coos and pulls you into a hug if you start to cry harder and can't get the words out. He won't rush you. He'll wait until you're ready to talk again.

His method of comforting is cuddles and acts of service. Tries to cook for you by making you something you taught him in the past- even cleaning up after himself after so you don't have any more things to worry about. If he doesn't cook, he'll just bring you snacks he knows you like. He may or may not have asked Leo to swipe them a while back--

After you've calmed down, Mikey will stay with you. Turns it into a lazy day in with just you and him. Will bring over his art supplies so you two can have something to do together, or will pick out things you have lying around your house to do together. He ended up finding a jigsaw puzzle box and got super hooked with trying to solve it- Raph had to drag him home after Mikey refused to come back until he finished the puzzle.

Dividers are from @sugarish

Thank you guys so much for being patient with me! I know I haven't been the best at pumping out content and stuff but I have not forgotten all the requests that are in my inbox and drafts. Sadly, I don't think I will do all of them but I will do the ones I can!

Love bites (Raph, Donnie, Leo, Mikey x Reader HCS)

((All characters are depicted as 18+ unless stated otherwise)) I FINALLY got this done! This has been in my drafts for a w h i l e and I'm so glad to be able to share it! technically suggestive??, biting, jealousy, love bites/marks, cuddling ------------------------------------------------ Raph: - He is an alligator snapping turtle, biting is what his species is known for! - He has chew toys hidden around his room so he can have something to bite into whenever he gets the urge, or when he gets frustrated so he doesn't grind his teeth together fighting the urge to bite. He has a very strong bite force and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. - But with you, as soon as you gave the okay for him to bite you he was a little hesitant. You wanted him to bite you? You were okay with it? He could take out your whole shoulder if he really wanted to! - It'd take a little for him to get used to the fact that you were okay with being bitten, but soon he is more than happy to do so. Biting is one of his love languages, and to be able to do it to you without worry of you getting upset really soothed him. - He is extra careful when biting you, starting off with gentle nips and nibbles along your shoulders when you two are cuddling in his room. Every time he thinks he may have gotten a bit hard on a particular nip he will kiss the spot and ask if you are alright, looking at you with the biggest puppy dog eyes. - The only time he would be less gentle in his biting is if he's jealous. Raph is not one to get jealous super easily, nor let it show. He trusts you completely, but sometimes when the person trying to hit on you is just not getting the hint that you are not only not interested but taken- he could only feel the steam coming from his nostrils as he huffs and glared at the person. Afterwards, when you are both are alone- Raph will suddenly pull you by the waist back into his plastron, he head leaning down and snout nuzzled against the side of your neck. "Uh.. Raph?" You ask, glancing at him through the corner of your eye, "Are you okay big guy?" There's a brief moment of hesitation, before there is a sharp pain searing into the spot between your neck and shoulder; making you inhale sharply and wince. - Yeah.. you needed a bit of bandages after that. His teeth had broken skin and had you bleeding. The poor guy felt so bad, apologizing frantically as he patched you up. You had to constantly reassure him that was alright, despite his many protests that no it was not alright. He clung onto you for the rest of the night, mumbling apologies and kissing the bandages every chance he could. - Yet despite his immense guilt for hurting you, he couldn't help the sense of pride he got whenever he saw the mark once the bandages came off. It was a physical sign that you were his, and now everyone could see it. - And if you ever bite back? Oh you will have a very flustered and smitten turtle on your hands. Donnie: - He isn't much of a biter. At least.. at first. - Donnie has a bit of difficulty showing physical affection at times, even more so verbally expressing it. Which is why his main go to of showing love is gift giving. - When you both started dating, there was a long adjustment period of getting comfortable with getting physically affectionate past platonic gestures. It started small, linking each other's pinkies together when you thought no one was paying attention and holding hands when you slept together in place of cuddling. Times in the morning where a very sleepy soft shell will come up beside you as you prepared coffee for you both and gently bunt his head against yours as a greeting as he picked up his mug and headed towards his lab.

- It had progressed steadily and soon you often found yourself being the stress toy for your purple clad lover. He had found it actually much easier to work while you were on his lap, so that's where you stayed most of the time when he had projects to work on but also wanted to spend time with you. You would face him, your legs wrapped loosely around his waist and arms hugging his middle as he had his head rested on your shoulder to peer down at whatever he was tinkering with that day. His claws would gently run up and down your spine in a mindless manner, and when he got frustrated his hands would come up to your love handles and squeeze while he tried to find a work around. - One of these times, he had gotten a bit too frustrated. He had been working on a new upgrade for Shelldon, but nothing he did seemed to turn out the way he wanted. You were half asleep on his lap at this point, having been there quite a while at this rate. That's when you felt his teeth sink into the flesh of your shoulder. - He didn't break skin, but his canines dug into your shoulder just enough to leave a little bruising mark. The feeling was enough to make you jolt slightly with a little yelp, startling Donnie in turn. - He pulled away and looked at you quizzically, not seeming to grasp what exactly had happened at first. Then he takes notice of the mark forming on your shoulder and the man short circuits. - Is quick to apologize and offer to get you an icepack to help the bruising through his own flustered state, stammering and tripping over his words. Yet, his grip is firm- keeping you in place on his lap, like he was afraid you would try to get off after he bit you. - He had chalked it up to simply being apart of his more animalistic instincts, a side he is normally the best at repressing compared to his brothers (at least he tells himself that). Still, he tries to take precautions to avoid making the same error. Unless you encourage the behavior, then he is more lenient towards allowing the action to repeat. Just more gently from now on. - His bites are rare, but when they do come they are gentle and almost teasing depending on the situation. His favorite places to nibble is along your collarbone and sometimes the lobe of your ear. - The only time he will deliberately leave lasting marks is out of jealousy, and as we all know the soft shell is very quick to get jealous. Expect to be covered in marks for the next two weeks.

Leo: - Leo would actually be revealed to be a bit of a biter early on in the relationship, a split moment while you both were play wrestling that he had turned his head suddenly and sunk his teeth into the skin of your wrist while you had him pinned. It had caught you off guard, long enough for the slider to get the advantage and over power you. The next second you found yourself on your back with a very smug turtle straddling your waist. - It didn't seem to click for him at first just what he had done, only as he opened his mouth to tease did he notice the flabbergasted expression on your face did it sink in that he had actually bit you. - His eyes darted from the faint mark forming on your wrist to your face a couple times, looking equally as shocked- only his face definitely felt ten times warmer. - He would try to play it off at first, saying that you two never agreed not to bite, so it was still fair game. "All is fair in love and war, mi vida.~" - The biting would not happen again for a while after that, and Leo would get slightly embarrassed every time you try to bring it up in a teasing manner. Bringing it up in a playful tone that you wouldn't mind being bitten, this only served to make the slider more flustered. - Next time he bites you however, is during a sleepover at your apartment. You both had decided to have a cozy night in, cuddled up on your bed and watching movies through whatever streaming services you have. - You were staring blankly at the screen, trying to fight the effect that gravity was having on your eye lids. Leo was behind you, holding you against his plastron- his snout nuzzled into the crook between your neck and shoulder. You could feel his soft breathing against your skin; not quite enough to lead you to believe that he was asleep, but still gentle. - Slowly, his snout trailed upwards- grazing the corner of your jaw as he moved. You didn't think much of it, assuming he may be simply adjusting slightly to get in a more comfortable position- that was until you felt the tips of his canines catch onto the lobe of your ear, tugging and biting gently. - The squeal that left your mouth is still something Leo laughs about to this day. Your flustered and embarrassed reaction to such an innocent test was hilarious, or so he would say. You would heavily beg to differ on multiple of those points. - Once establishing your comfort with his biting, Leo will bite regularly. Not nearly as much as Raph or Mikey per say, but close. More often than not it's more just to get a reaction out of you, he just loves how red your face gets to the simple actions. Other times to have a physical marker that you were his, even if the bites were only in places that he could see. The action still mattered. Oh don't worry, he would never bite you in public. Only behind closed doors when you both are alone. - If he ever bit you out of jealousy, much like Donnie those marks would be e v e r y w h e r e- and not going away anytime soon. He trusts you completely, but apparently other people won't take the hint that you were his unless they saw you covered in his marks. He takes satisfaction in their reactions and defeat. Only he was your champion, no one else.

Mikey: - Biting is also what Box turtles are known for! It's a form of a courting/mating gesture for his species. - I'd say he'd bite you early on into the relationship in the form of soft nibbles, more playful than anything. Say he has you in his arms and he buried his snout into the crook of your neck, he'll gently nibble at your flesh in-between kisses to fluster you. He thinks your adorable flustered! - It's hard to say if he would ever say why he bites you. He would only answer if you asked him directly about it, as to then he would sheepishly admit what it means to him. If you're uncomfortable with it he will gladly stop though! - If you encourage the behavior however, or even go as far as to bite him back at some point? Oh, he just fell even harder! - His favorite spots are your shoulders, thighs and the tips of your ears, you make the cutest squeaks when his canines nip at your earlobe and he just can't get enough! - His bites will become more frequent during cuddle sessions or play fighting to gain the upper hand, you can't tell me this man would not use tricks to catch you off guard- - Despite it all however, he would be rather gentle with his bites. He knows his teeth are sharp, and he doesn't want to accidentally hurt you. But from time to time he will get a bit rougher and leave marks. He will make sure to apologize if it starts bleeding, immediately offering to patch it up. He isn't as panicked as Raph is, but still worries. - Jealousy is a whole different matter. Mikey trusts you, he really does! But those flirting with you just don't seem to understand that you are taken sometimes.. perhaps a few lasting marks will fix that! - This sneaky bastard will make sure some of his bites are hard to cover up, wanting people to see them. To see who you belong to. - But overall he is very sweet and caring with his affections towards you, no matter what form they take.
