hey!! if you’re taking requests, i’d like to request the rottmnt boys falling for a fem! reader who’s basically like your stereotypical raph. she loves fighting, loves working out, loud asf, short-tempered, blunt, sarcastic, cursed with resting bitch face, all that jazz. but, once you get to know her, she’s actually really funny and sweet. NEVER afraid to speak her mind, so she may come across as rude or sassy at times, but she never really means to be. DEFINITELY has mild adhd and is on the autism spectrum. 🫶
Hey! Thank you so much for the request!!
I was already working on the request you made before but this addition excited me a lot!!
For this reason, I hope I was able to at least comply with your request. I tried with all my might to best represent Raph's character but in some pieces I don't seem to have succeeded, I still hope you enjoy it, happy reading.

It was a quiet winter night in busy New York. Four mutant turtles sprinted through the darkness of the city looking for criminals to beat up and bring to justice. Difficult task for any normal person, but not for them who was their reason for living, to protect New York and their inhabitants from any bad guy who wants to destroy it or who wants to harm those who live there.
The evening continued for a while in total tranquility until suddenly an enormous noise shattered that beloved quiet that until recently had kept the four young people company.
The noise came from an alley not too far from the four and so it didn't take them long to arrive to see what was happening.
Initially everything seemed normal until the unconscious body of one of the Foot Clan members landed at their feet.
“To be able to throw a body like this, the person who did it must certainly be very big and strong” thought the four, unaware of what they would find themselves in front of.
Not having a good view from where they were at the time, they decided to approach out of curiosity and hid in the shadows to have a better view of the whole scene.
What they saw left them completely stunned and astonished.
A person of short stature was fighting against other members of the foot clan and managing to keep up with everyone. He almost seemed to be able to predict every little attack that came his way and intervene accordingly and between dodges and precise blows, one by one he defeated them all.
They still remained there trying to see the face of the person who had just finished fighting but they soon realized that his face was partially hidden by a black mask that left only his e/c eyes exposed. In addition to the eyes, some h/l h/c hair disheveled from the fight that had just ended were visible and some of this hair was stuck to the forehead due to the light layer of sweat that had formed.
-WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING LETTING THERE?! YOU NOW MADE ME LATE FOR TRAINING! GET UP, I WANT TO FINISH DESTROYING YOU!! - you shouted, moving one of the members of the foot clan lying on the ground with your foot.
-You act so boastful and then deep down you're a wimp...- you spat annoyed and then snorted.
Suddenly, to the surprise of all four of they, you took off your mask to take a breather and wiped away some of the sweat with the back of your hand before bending over to the backpack you had just reached and taking out a pack of damp handkerchiefs to clean your hands.
-How disgusting...- was the only thing you said as you continued to clean your hands with a disgusted face.
Just then Mikey accidentally poked the dustbin near his hideout catching your attention.
You immediately became defensive, staring into the darkness in their direction and the boys jumped at your sudden movements.
None of the four moved and so you immediately grabbed your phone to light up in their direction. Your eyes widened at the sight.
-What are you?- you asked, keeping the flashlight towards them to avoid missing any of their movements.
Leo stepped forward - well, doesn't it seem obvious? we're turtles - the young man teased you.
-Ah, thank you very much for the explanation, now everything seems normal to me and I will go home calmly as if I hadn't seen anything strange like four talking turtles with bands and weapons... yes, thank you very much-
-You see that we understand each other, huh?- Leo replied
-I was being ironic anyway- you snorted, thus triggering Donatello's curiosity, perceiving you to be partly similar to him.
-Can you tell me what you are and what you are doing here? I want to know if I have to kick your ass or I can go home... you know how it is, it's late to be around-
-My brother is right- said Raph, -we are mutant turtles...- he added, -ninjas and teenagers- concluded Mikey.
You stood there looking at them one by one without ever meeting their gazes - it would be hard to believe if you weren't in front of my eyes...-
-But you're still afraid of us, aren't you?- Leo asked
-I say, it's true that you didn't have any particular reactions but you're avoiding our gaze as one would avoid a monster's gaze- Leo replied
-I can safely tell you that you are wrong Red-eared slider-
Leonardo stood there looking at you -so why are you avoiding our gaze?-
Donatello intervened -Asperger? True?-
You nodded causing confusion for the other three.
-What are you talking about Donnie?- Raph asked looking towards his brother.
-He just confirmed a doubt I had, he has Asperger's syndrome, a high-functioning autism spectrum- Viola clarified.
-Ah, well, then I'm sorry for accusing you... anyway, nice to meet you, I'm Leonardo- he held out his hand to you without however receiving a shake from you who remained there staring at his hand.
Leo seemed to get annoyed by this but you immediately explained - I don't feel comfortable having physical contact with someone I don't know unless it's for a fight, don't take it amiss Leonardo. Anyway, I'm Y/n, nice to meet you- you bowed slightly in greeting.
-No problem, anyway they are Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo- he introduced the brothers, pointing to them one by one.
-Anyway, you're fantastic at fighting!!- Mikey cheered, -where did you learn??- he asked.
-Let's say I was forced to do Kickboxing to let off steam and solve my anger problems but just today these failures blocked me and made me miss the lesson I had and so I thought it was appropriate to take lessons with them-
-Well, you're right to channel your anger and vent it in a sport like that, it's very useful- Raph complimented.
-Said then by a giant turtle with anger problems- Leo teased, triggering a blush from his older brother.
You laughed - but I can say that I'm happy to have missed the lesson, so I have the opportunity to get to know you - you smiled sincerely.
-Awww! You're so kind Y/n!! - Mikey approached to give you one of his mega hugs only to be blocked -n-not naw please- you smiled a little uncomfortably and then gently caressed the younger's shoulder -sorry! I did not think about it! but anyway I feel honored by this caress - he chuckles happily.
-Anyway, it's too late to go home alone, let us accompany you- the redhead proposed
-Do you have anything else to do? I don't want to disturb-
-No way!! We were on patrol anyway, and then we'd like to help a new friend, wouldn't we guys? - asked the blue one only to be followed by the three brothers who nodded to his question.
-Thanks guys, I really appreciate it- you smiled and then walked towards home chatting and joking with your new four friends.
