"Sorry, (Y/N). I don't like you like that."

You could still hear the laughter echoing as you sobbed in your pillow. The whole rejection was humiliating and everyone made sure to never live it down. You just had to have a crush on the most popular guy in school. While he is nice—you're starting to question that—he is naive. You wanted your confession to be private but he insisted and you regretted your decision to agree with him.

You continued to cry, berating yourself for being so stupid to think he would ever like you. Out of the other girls in the school, he would never pick you and you knew that but the turtles and April convinced you to do it. A part of you was hurt that the turtles agreed, you wanted them to see you in a different light rather than as a friend but your only problem was that you liked them all. Most find it odd and you were afraid for rejection and the friendships you formed with them destroyed. So you never told them, you never told them you fell in love with all of them after knowing them for a solid year and now it was two years.

The confession flashed through your mind again and you started to wail. You hoped your parents couldn't hear you. You hoped no one sees you. You just wanted to disappear.

"Yo, April!" Leo looked up from his comic book and looked at a very much worried April, who entered the lair with her hair disheveled, a sullen look, and a stack of pizza boxes on hand. "Where's (N/N)? She hasn't visited the lair for two weeks now."

"Yes, I would like to know that too," Donnie said with his eyebrows furrowed and eyes narrowed at the dark-skinned teenager.

"You guys don't know?" April wondered looking at the four brothers, who were approaching her.

"Is there something we should know?" Raph asked, looking confused as the rest. April sighed and led them to the kitchen. Once she placed the boxes down, she leaned on the counter, looking at them.

"(C/N) rejected her."

"What?" They all looked astonished. You were the most amazing person anyone could ask for. You were creative, smart, strong, funny, kind, and oh how the list could go on and on. The turtles loved you and not even in the platonic sense. To them, you were perfect and just hearing that your crush rejected you, angered and surprised them. You deserved to be loved! Even if it wasn't with one of the turtles, you deserved to be treated with love.

"Yeah, what's worse is that it was in front of the whole school. She's humiliated." April wished she was there with you, she felt guilty for pushing you through that. She should have been present but being sick that day did not help her. "I tried talking to her but she always disappears! I should have been there for them, I could have stuck up for her or supported her."

"April, it wasn't your fault," Mikey said, wrapping his arms around his best friend's waist hoping to comfort her, she gladly took the hug.

"Yeah, you didn't know you were going to be sick," Leo said, joining in the hug.

"You didn't know what the outcome was going to be." Donnie chipped in. Raph pulled everyone into a hug and tried to comfort their best friend as much as possible.

"She didn't even really liked him anyway, it was you guys that they did," April muttered quietly to herself. Everyone froze, the turtles were shocked that you liked them while April was shocked for revealing a huge secret. They pulled out from the group hug and looked at her, perplexed from the news.

"Wha-what do you mean they like us?" Raph demanded.

"Ugh, I wasn't supposed to tell you guys that." April covered her face with her hands and growled in frustration. She wasn't supposed to slip that up!

"Which one of us do they like? It's me, isn't it? Ow!" Leo glared at his younger brother, who gladly returned it. The other two also glared at him.

"I can't tell you."

"You said and I quote, "I wasn't supposed to tell you guys.". That sounds like to me they like all of us." The turtles looked at April who was still growling in frustration.

"Is it true? They like all of us?" Mikey asked with hope.

"I can't tell you!" April shouted looking at the four brothers.

"Tell us!"

Multiple taps on your window caught your attention from where you sat on your bed. Getting up, you walked to your window, sluggishly. Four shadows stood in front of the glass and you sighed. They know.

Leo tapped on your window, giving you a concerned look as you stood there. Blinking you looked at them again and unlocked the window and headed to your bed again. You sat on your bed and looked down to the floor, everyone remained silent.

"We know what happened," Raph said softly with concern laced in his voice.

"I had a feeling." You sighed out and your shoulders slumped.

"Are you okay?" Mikey questioned while he padded over to your side and sat down on your right. You let out a breathless laugh and crossed your arms.

"No, I'm not okay. I'm not even really upset my own crush rejected me, it was the fact everyone was there to see me do it. I asked him if we could talk in private but he brushed it off and said I could say it in front of others. He didn't think what I had to say was too important." You shake your head with a frown. You think a part of it was your fault for not being firm with the guy in the first place, telling him that it was important. Maybe then, the rejection wouldn't have felt so bad.

"Sounds like a jerk," Leo said.

"Leo!" All his brothers looked at him with a glare while you only looked at him wide-eyed. Leo only raised his arms in surrender and muttered an apology.

"He was." You laughed out, nodding. The turtles smiled seeing you genuinely happy instead of the regret and sadness they earlier had seen. You all sat in silence for a moment, not knowing what to say and yet the quiet felt comfortable.

"I'll be ok, you guys." You reassured but Donnie gave you a skeptical look. The turtles decided a group hug would help and so they did, you happily returned it. You were starting to tear up again but you try to contain it, you know they hate seeing sad. You guys stayed like that for a moment before you muttered something that made all of you freeze.

"I love you guys, so much." You felt them tense up and all four pairs of eyes look at you. You froze, realizing you blurted out another confession to all of them but you really hoped they didn't realize that, you don't want to lose them.

"Friendship wise or romantically?" Donnie asked, looking at you intently. He really hopes it's romantically, all the brothers know of your hidden feelings but they wanted you to admit it to them. But knowing it and you confessing it is different.

You look at them all and realize they were waiting, you didn't know the look in their eyes but it almost like they're anticipating something. You gnaw on your lip and contemplate to yourself. Should you tell them or cover it? You sighed and look down.

"I love you guys more than friends almost two years now." You admitted.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't want to ruin the friendship we already have! And if by some chance you all did like me, I didn't want you guys to fight over me as you guys did once before. I didn't want it to happen again." You clenched your fists, crumpling the sheets underneath you. A long and uncomfortable silence grew between all of you. You didn't look up and didn't notice the look they were giving each other.

The boys looked at each other in some form of silent communication. They have talked about what was going to happen since they all loved you and you loved them all too. Donnie pointed out that they can have a what is called a polyamorous relationship, meaning they can all date you but while they agreed to that, would you?

"We love you too, (Y/N)." Mikey broke the silence, looking at you with a soft look in his eyes. You froze, they love you too? You didn't think it was possible but what happens now? It's not like you could date them all together, right? Right?

"So, we came to an agreement but you don't have to say yes if you're uncomfortable." Raph started. You looked up, giving him a confused look but nodded for him to go on. "What if you can have all of us instead of choosing one of us?"

"You all agreed to this?" You questioned, your eyes darting from one person to the next. Each brother nodded in confirmation. You pressed your lips together and think. "Ok, I agree."

...

Arms wrapped around your waist and you felt him nuzzle his head on the nape of your neck and say a muffled 'good morning'. You chuckled and placed your phone down and kiss the top of his head.

"Good morning to you too, Mikey." You turn around and give him a peck on the lips. He pouted at the quick kiss, making you laugh before giving him another. He smiled against the kiss and leaned in. "We still have to make breakfast for your brothers, Sunshine."

Mikey never failed to make you happy and made sure to show he loves you every chance he gets. You and him always find ways to make things silly and fun when things were not going in anyone's way. He helps bring joy when your days are gloomy or hard.

"Is that coffee I smell?" You look away from your conversation with Mikey and smile at the sleepy soft-shelled turtle. Surprisingly, he wasn't wearing his battle shell and his mask was not put on properly and his goggles weren't on his head.

"Yep, made your favorite too." He went over to you and kissed your cheek as a thank you and his way of saying good morning. He wasn't really affectionate when around his brothers but the subtle signs he gives you, you know it's his way of saying 'I love you' and you love that about him.

-

"Where's my sexy girlfriend?" Leo announced, entering the dining room in his sleepwear. You raised a hand but continued to debate with Donnie something that none of the brothers knew or understand. Leo headed towards where you sat and placed his chin on top of your head. "Can I have my morning kiss?"

"Do you have morning breath?" You teased, rolling your eyes playfully at Donnie.

"...No."

"You hesitated, honey." He let out a groan slumping forward in an exaggerated manner.

"Babe," Leo whined out, trying to kiss you but you averted away from him with a small smile on your face. After a while, you eventually give him a kiss while chuckling at the pouty look he was giving.

Leo makes sure to compliment you whenever you are around and gives you many nicknames. He continues to flirt with you and use his one-liners at you just to see you smile for him. He listens to you when you ramble and helps you with whatever he can to ensure you are content.

"Hey, Raph." You greeted seeing the oldest brother enter. He gave you a smile and sits beside you while you hand him his plate.

"Hey." Raph is a total sweetheart with you and you always go to him when you're feeling angry. He helps you calm down and pays attention to what you need the most. Do you want to exercise? He helps you. Do you just want to snuggle? He's there. He makes sure to give you his time and show you his love, even if it is in the oddest way possible. Out of all the brothers, he's very overprotective of you and you show him that trust is needed. He learns to be his better self and he has you to thank for that.

"Do you guys know what day it is?" You hinted as you take a sip of your drink. The brothers look at you confused. Were they supposed to remember something? You roll your eyes at their looks. "Today marks our second year of dating."

A chorus of oh's are heard from everyone and you roll your eyes again with a smile on your face.

"We should have the day off," Raph suggested.

"It's been that long? I thought it was longer." Leo joked.

"Ooh, if we're having a day off, we should do a movie night," Mikey said, excited.

"No, what we should do is what we did last year. Dates with each one of us for a few hours." Donnie added. The boys argued while you just sat there with a smile on your face. They've all grown more mature but they are the same people you fell in love with and you do not want to change a thing.
