All of you talked for hours.. It's 3 am, there's no way you'll be able to make it to school, it looks like you'll be using one of your free off-days.

Donnie pulls you to your feet. It was time to head home. When you're up, you end up pressed against Donnie, oh no.

You dart backwards and bump into Leo. You feel him catch you by the shoulders, but you also feel his face against the side of your head. "Whoa! Careful, princess." He says with a laugh and amused expression. You grumble and look at the ground, not wanting them to see how engrossed you were in their warmth and contact. "Let's just go-" You say tugging at their sleeves.

Both brothers laugh, and follow you in the direction of your home. Leo glances at Donnie with a smile that says, 'I'm enjoying this- are you?.'

Donnie grins back a little, as funny and cliche as it was.. He was having a good time..

_____

You all ran up the stairs to your apartment door, all of you were ready for a nap. As much as the boys adored you, they were getting tired from the sugar.

So, you give both of them tight hugs, and naturally it becomes a group hug between you three. As odd as it seemed, you didn't get flustered by hugs.. too often. Luckily, this was one of those times where you felt completely mellow; if anything, it actually made you more tired.

When you all are starting to fall asleep while standing, Donnie grunts and lets go, stretching his arms.

Leo however, takes a few extra seconds before letting you go, he's such a softie. Adorable. You blush, a quiet giggle escaping your lips.

When you're free and their warmth is gone, you rub your arms and yawn. Leo chuckles, making you smile bashfully. You had an ugly yawn, curses.

After you all say some small goodbyes, you grab your door handle and open the door the slightest bit, ready to go in.

You smile back at them and are about to step in- when you feel something snag the collar of your shirt from behind.

A short squeak escapes from your mouth as you get yanked backwards. You end up pressed against Leo, this made you surprised and confused.. to say the least. When you go to ask what's happening, he's quick to cover your mouth and hush you.

Donnie looks at his brother in confusion and worry. You were frozen in his arms, what was he doing?

"What is it?" Donnie asked in his loud voice. Leo immediately shoves his free hand over Donnies mouth.

Leo's face was serious. His eyes were wide and his mouth was pinched shut. He seemed very concerned.

Leo slowly removes his hand from Donnies mouth and turns to face him. Leo protectively snakes his free arm around you as he whispers.

"I locked the door.."

You felt your heart sink when he said that. How was it open? What was he talking about? Who was in there?

Leo and Donnie slowly stepped backwards, being sure you didn't lose your balance as you were pulled along. Leo never released your mouth, the last thing he needed was for you to panic out loud, and alert someone to your presence if someone was in there.

Once you all were halfway down the stairs, Leo scooped you up and he started running, Donnie followed close beside him. When you were a good distance away, Donnie asked mid-run, "Where are we going!?"

"Home!" Leo shouts

______

In the moment, you didn't have the time to register what was going on. You look at Donnie, then Leo, both seemed too focused on getting home to safety- and weapons. So why did you feel completely baffled? Maybe your adrenaline was flowing? This might be a sign that you need to get out more, cause jeez your life is boring--- not that this is cool or fun though-- but.. You get the point..

In the middle of your confusion, there's a noise of metal scraping on concrete. Your moment of spacing out was paused as you see Donnie opening a sewer cap. Donnie hops in and looks up at you, "Can you climb down, Y/n?" You didn't even argue, you nod. Leo lets you go as you wait for Donnie to climb a little further down. Once you had room, you hopped onto the ladder and followed.

From above, the dim moonlight is obscured when Leo starts his descent as well, and shuts the cap.

As soon as your feet hit the floor, Donnie takes your hand as he waits for Leo to reach the bottom. Now that you all were hidden and far enough away, the three of you relaxed a little and walked towards safety. Leo pipped in, the closer you came to a safe space. "Do we go back once she's safe, or do we call the police?"

Donnie shakes his head as he tries to think, "Uh- We'll.. ask Raph."

Leo looks at the ground and takes your hand. You return the gesture and you all walk in silence.

_______

When you reach your destination, your faces are stoic. Now the boys had to find Raph-- and to your luck, he was close by.

Leo and Donnie sit you on a beanbag and run to their big brother. Immediately, Leo starts shouting the situation to him, asking what to do, and flailing his arms around; while Donnies was silent, his head was turned, and he was staring at you.. He looked like he was contemplating something.

When Leo's insistent shouting is over, Raph looks towards you and gestures for his baby brothers to stay where they were. He walks over..

When he reaches your side, he towers over you, casting you in darkness due to his stocky build casting a huge shadow.

He looked concerned as he kneeled down to make better eye-contact with you, "Are you alright?" He looked you in the eye with a concerned face. "Yeah.. just shaken up I guess.. heh.." You give him the best smile you can muster, Raph does the same back. "Are you sure? Do you want us to drop you off at like.. Aprils' or somethin'?" You sigh and shake your head, "No thanks, I'm sure she'll rush over here to get me herself." You laugh a little at the thought of April disheveled in her pjs, then dragging you to her home like a scared mom.

Raph pats your head as carefully as he could, but you still get squashed down a little, like a nail in a birch fence. Raph nervously laughs, "Oops, sorry! He pulls you back up by the shoulders, "I always forget that you're smaller than my brothers." You give him a doofy smile, "Jeez, way to put it lightly, man." Raph stammers as he smacks a hand to his face, "Agh! Bad choice of words!" He laughs a little, and you do too.

"Raphael, we must go investigate the living quarters Leo couldn't stop yelling about, remember?" Donnie stands at his big brother's side with his beloved staff in-hand. "Right- sorry brother!" Raph stands up and pats Donnies head, effectively squishing him down- just like you- and knocking his goggles to the ground. Donnie grumbles as he picks them up and dusts them off, before putting them back on.

"Yes. Yes, brotherly love. Now, we go!"

Donnie storms off, not even waiting for Raph, or saying bye. "Wait up!--" Raph runs after him.

"Uh.. I'll stay here to comfort this distressed damsel!" Leo yells out. It didn't look like they heard him, he didn't seem to care though.

Now it's just you and Leo.

Leo approaches you with a sly smirk, then jabbs his thumb over his shoulder, "Wanna go play in the arcade?"

You chuckle, "Yeah, you know i'd love to!"

Leo smiles and leads the way to where you both could be spending the next 2 days in if you're not moderated.

___________

You try shoving Leo's face away, "(Y/n)! Come on!" He begs.

"No!"

"(Y/nnnn)..!"

"No!"

Leo struggles to control his car as you attempt to sabotage him.

"Look, sugar-- you may as well save the gas, because you're about to eat all this tarmac!" You grumble as you jostle the controls with your only free hand, "Not this time, smart guy!"

Just as the finish is in sight, you lift your left foot and start using it to push his torso off his seat. Leo yelps as he starts slipping, "No, no, no, no!"

Both Leo and yourself struggle to control your vehicles and make it to the ultimate goal. You both yell in unison as the two of you cross the finish line at last.

The two of you pause everything you're doing and lean towards the screens, awaiting the results.

"A TIE!?" You yell. A big smile spreads across your face, you've never tied with any of the boys, they always managed to cheat. Instaly, you worm out of your uncomfortable position and jump around, feeling elated. Leo laughs and leans back in his seat, he looked really happy.

You laugh and skip around. Leo sighs as he stares at you, "You have the most awesome laugh.." Leo slumps over and lays across both seats, he looks at you with an awe-struck expression. You smile and look at the floor with a face progressively turning rosey. Leo was getting into your heart more and more.. And honestly, you were fine with it.

Leo smiles brightly and literally springs to his feet, placing his hands on his hips, "You hungry, or do you want to spend more alone time with little ol' me?" Leo cups his hands on his face and wiggles his eyebrows at you.

You jokingly scoff at him.. But nothing else is said..

You both just stand there and gaze at each other.. You feel butterflies swarm in your chest as Leo drops his silly act and stares at you with that same dreamy expression he had worn, merely a few days ago..

A coy smile crosses your lips, causing him to flush red and rub his neck. Looking sheepish, cute.

You sigh, resisting an adoring laugh. Leo looks at you with a nervous smile, "Should I do that thing..?" He says with a wiry smile. You nod and give him an expectant look. Leo smiles at you and steps closer to you. He carefully takes your face in his hands and you close your eyes.

A moment of silence and stillness goes by, then a voice rips through the peaceful moment.

"Hey, hands off the girl!"

Donnie speeds towards the two of you out of nowhere.

Leo groans and rolls his eyes in annoyance, "Bro, it's okay." Leo says with an expression painted with passive-aggression. Donnie huffs with a frown, "I was here to get you guys. Raph and I found something-- you can make goo-goo eyes later." Donnie says loudly, giving Leo the competitive side-eye.

"Fine, lets go." Leo says, staring daggers at his brother. Leo looks at you and holds out his hand, you grin and take it, and so, onwards you went.

Donnie lagged behind a little bit, he couldn't help but feel bad for not being as forward as Leo was.

You gasp as Donnie talkies your free hand.

You look over at him and he gives you a small smile. "Oh, you scared me a little." You say, smiling back. Donnies posture relaxes as he gets lost in your adorable face.

However, his face hardened when he remembered what was about to happen.

Donnie walks a little closer to you, he worried you may have to move out of that apartment soon..

Leo when he gets interrupted by Donnie.. again:

Love y'all!
