(A/N: You can choose what universe this is in, but I was thinking of the 2k14 turtles when writing this..this is just something that has been in my folder for a while and I finally posted it)

It was a quiet night in the lair, the only noise being the TV. Raph Donnie and Mikey were on patrol since Leo couldn't go for reasons unknown to Laila. The two were watching some movie that she wasn't paying attention to but she didn't know if he was too. Laila was just thinking instead of watching the movie. Somehow, she got to the thought of whether or not her brothers liked their shell scratched. Laila knew she used to before she lost her shell and she was curious. Sitting down next to Leo on the couch, she lightly scraped her nails against his shell. She smiled when Leo jumped and didn't even turn around.

"Um, Laila, w-what're you doing?"

"Just trying something I used to like when I was little and still had my shell."

"Makes sens-" before Leo could finish a quiet churr erupted from his throat. Laila giggled while Leo's face heated up into a dark red.

"What was that?" "N-nothing." Laila kept scratching his shell gently as not to cause any damage. Soon Laila noticed his tail wagging like hers whenever she was happy.

"I think you're enjoying this." Then Laila scratched one spot and Leo churred loudly. Laila laughed as Leo groaned, hiding his face in his hands.

"This is so embarrassing."Laila pulled her hand away and Leo turned his head to her and his eyes narrowed.

"Why'd you stop?"

"1. You said it was embarrassing,2. The others are coming." On cue Mikey rushed through the door, arriving in the living room with a huge thing of pizza. Shortly after, the others went to bed seeing as it was 1:45 in the morning.

"I'd better get to bed, see you in the morning."

"Laila?"

"Don't worry , you'll get more shell scratches." She replied seeming to read his mind before she went upstairs.
