Beautiful to Me:
You walked into the lair as you saw the guys were spread out throughout it.
Leonardo was in the dojo training again. Donatello had his door to his lab shut with the red light flashing and sign stating: DO NOT COME IN- that means you Mikey. Raph was grunting as he was lifting weights above his chest. Mikey was skateboarding around his own "skate park".
"Hello, y/n," Master Splinter's voice greeted you from the kitchen.
"Hello Master Splinter," you replied back, walking over to him.
You had a special bond with Master Splinter. He was like a father to you.
"Hey!" Raph grunts from his weight station "y/n! Come spot me please?"
"You know I can't lift that heavily if something goes sideways, Raph," you countered, walking over to him anyway.
"Then why come over here when you can't help me?" he asked, resting the heavy weighted down bar in its place.
"Because I like to help and you're best friend," you replied, shrugging at him.
Raph smirked and said "Yeah, you're always a good little helper,"
"Shut up," you retorted back, smiling.
This was how it was between the two of you. Always taking a dig at one another and such.
"Leave her be, Raph," Leo's voice washed over, walking over to you two.
He knew to not get in between you two just yet, but he was always the referee.
Smiling at the turtle in blue, you hug him with "Hi, Leo,"
"Hi, y/n," he replied, hugging you back "How are you?"
"I'm doing well. How are you?" you replied, pulling back.
"You know, just trying to keep the peace around here," he smirked.
"Isn't that what I'm for?" Donatello asked behind Leo.
"Hi Donnie," you greeted him, giving him a hug too.
"Where's my hug, short stuff?" Raph asked, pouting.
"Not with you all sweaty and gross like that. Maybe after you shower, I can give you a hug," you replied, looking over at him after Donnie pulled away.
"Hey, keep it PG, Raph," Mikey joked, rolling away from him.
Raph glared at the baby brother of the group.
Rolling your eyes at this, you were engulfed by arms from Mikey.
"Hey angel, how are you doing?" he asked, just holding you for the longest time.
"I'm fine, Mikey," you replied, giggling.
"Mikey, you still need to train," Leo reminded him.
"Aawe, but Leo, y/n just got here!" he whined, looking at his eldest brother.
"You can socialize with her later, you promised me that you would start training before she got here," Leo replied, not moving on this.
"Fiiiiine, party pooper," Mikey said sadly, walking into the dojo.
You walked over to the dojo to watch them train. It always fascinated you to see how they would jump high into the air or get cornered thinking there was no way that he could get out of it now. But like always, they surprised you.
"Alright, I showered," Raph's voice grunted at you.
Turning to look at him, you smile and then hug him.
"Hi Raphie," you teased him with his childhood nickname.
"Hi, squirt," he teased you right back.
"Did you see that new movie, y/n?" Donnie asked as they gathered near the sliding door to the dojo.
"What movie?" Mikey asked, perking up but didn't see Leo's foot connect with his plastron.
He grunted and landed harshly on the mats below.
"Focus, Mikey. I know you have it in you and guys, this is a place for training," Leo reminded everybody.
"Sheesh, Leo. Can't, y/n just watch?" Raph asked back.
"She always does, silently," Leo said, looking you in the eye with warmth "But, the living room or the kitchen is the best place for socializing,"
"You're right, Leo, and I'm sorry. We'll leave you two to your training. Just don't overdo it, Leonardo. I don't you in the bath all day again," You reminded him; making his two other brothers leave the dojo.
Leo sighed with "Yes, y/n,"
"Tea and scones will be ready when you are finished," you said, walking away.
"Scones? Hey, I want some!" Mikey complained.
"No you don't, Michelangelo! Resume training," Leo growled out.
"Mommy!" He squeaked and dodged Leo's advancement.
Meanwhile in the living room, you get settled down on the couch with Donnie and Raph snickering.
"How long do you think that Mikey will last Leo's tough training?" Don asked Raph.
"Not even an hour," Raph replied, smiling.
"I wouldn't bet against him, Raphael," You said, looking at him.
"And why shouldn't I? The runt has been annoying all day," he grumbled back.
"No he hasn't and you know it too. Plus, Mikey isn't the runt of this family. He's the baby, big difference," you defend Mikey.
"Going back to earlier, did you see the new movie?" Don asked you swiftly.
"About how us humans are doomed by rogue planet about to slam into our own and that the actress Oria Moon is the main female character? Yeah, I did," you replied, looking down.
Oria Moon was what men liked: she was just under 140 pounds, had flawless clean free skin, long silky hair, kept up with the fashion and making everything the "it" item.
It got to you because you weren't that at all. You were overweight, had acne, your hair wasn't that long or silky looking but you took care of it. Your style wasn't what everybody picked but, they always said to you that you looked "cute".
"You okay, y/n?" Raph asked, tapping your shoulder.
"I'm fine," you replied, getting up and walking into the kitchen "just remembered to fix the tea,"
Master Splinter was sitting as he looked down at the word scramble in front of him.
You get the water poured into the worn tea pot and turned the stove on.
"I wouldn't worry too much on what that movie is all about," Master Splinter mumbled, smiling as he found the correct word.
"Why is that?" you asked him curiously.
"Because, having a rogue planet coming at us is not that logical," he replied, looking at you.
"It's not, but it is a possibility," you agreed with him.
"And that actress, Miss Moon, is not that beautiful," he stated.
You didn't know how he knew, but then again this was Master Splinter. He could easily see things like that of fortune teller.
"We love you just the way you are, y/n." Master Splinter said, going back to his word scramble.
The tea pot was whistling as you took it off of the stove and put it on the hot pad. You left the cups empty since you let Leo and Master Splinter fix it however they enjoy drinking it.
Sitting down at the table, Master Splinter scooted a word finder for you with a pencil. You smiled as you looked for the words hidden.
An hour goes by, of just you sitting there with Master Splinter finding words together.
Soft footsteps alerted you as you turned around.
"Thank you, y/n," Leo said, smiling.
"You're welcome, Leo. How's Mikey?" you asked, snickering.
"In the middle of the dojo whining that he needs an ambulance," he chuckled back.
"It wasn't that intense, was it?" you asked him curiously.
"Nah. Just worked him out," Leo replied, fixing his tea up.
"DONNIE!" you then hear Mikey's voice ring out.
"Not again," Don mumbled as he walked into the dojo.
"Again?" you asked Leo, knowing that he did something.
"LEO!" Donnie's voice yelled to him.
Leo just sipped from his cup as you couldn't help but wonder what had happened. So, you get up and walk to the dojo.
Before you, you let out soft giggles as you see Mikey tied up in his own nun chucks.
"What did you do?" you lightly teased him.
"It was LEO'S fault!" he huffed.
"Sorry Mikey," Leo replied, smiling.
"Sorry my butt! I'm hogged tied up!" he exclaimed.
Shaking his head, Raph then took out one of his Sais and then sliced through the ropes.
"AAH! My nun chucks!" Mikey shrieked.
"They're still intact," Leo said, moving away from now the very livid Michelangelo.
"Why would Leo use them as rope?" Raph asked, looking at him.
"I didn't," Leo commented back.
"You, you!" Mikey said and then took off after his hot headed brother.
Raph ran for it as Donnie and you help see if there was anything to do salvage Mikey's weapons.
"Mikey!" Donnie exclaimed loudly, running out of the dojo.
"Where did that little ninja turtle go?" Mikey seethed.
"Mikey, Raph didn't cut through your nun chucks. Look, Leo used rope to tie you up," Donnie said to Mikey.
"I'll be in my room," he huffed, storming away to his bedroom.
You didn't find Raph anywhere.
"So, interesting visit, huh?" Leo said to you.
"Oh yeah. Did you see that trailer of Forces Collide?" you asked him curiously.
"I did and Oria Moon is beautiful in it," Leo replied, walking to the living room.
"She's alright," you said, annoyed.
Leo took noticed and then said "Yeah,"
Shaking your head, you walked away with "I got to take a walk,"
"Y/n?" Leo said worriedly.
You just ignore him and walk out of the lair.
So lost in your thoughts, you didn't hear the soft footsteps that followed you through the sewers.
"Why did you leave the lair?" the voice echoed around you.
"Why did you follow me?" you asked him back, looking at the ground.
"Because, regardless of how safe it is, it's still dangerous wandering through the sewers, y/n. Now, answer my question please," he said, staying in the shadows.
"Because you guys just keep going on about Oria Moon or any woman who is this…fake," you replied, brutally putting it out there. "What about us women that don't fit that? Those who never fit in because of how we look with our acne? Or don't wear makeup because it's not just who you are? Or the style of clothes? Or the style of hair?"
"Y/n," he said, suddenly appearing before you. "You honestly think that we want that kind of person in our family? As you put it, a fake?"
"Yes, otherwise you wouldn't comment on how they look," you replied, looking up into his eyes.
"Oh, y/n. We try to understand why you guys do this. I am sorry if you think we're putting women down that are like you or the ones that you mentioned. It's not that. Not at all," he said, gently cupping your face.
"Then what is it? Because it feels like I am not …" you tried to explain to him.
Very slowly, tenderly capturing your lips with his, he kissed you.
Your heart was racing with on what was taking place. Sure, you had a crush on him for some time, but you never dared let anyone know of it.
His soft big lips sucked slowly onto your bottom lip; nibbling and soft bites every now and then. A whimper escaped through your throat.
When he pulled back, his forehead resting against your own, he whispered "You're beautiful to me, y/n,"
A smile just spread across your face as you then looked up into his eyes.
"Come on, let's …let's go back to the lair," he said, smiling as well.
"Does…does that mean that we're…." you began but, couldn't voice it.
"Dating? Yes," he supplied for you, gently taking your hand.
Your eyes brightened and said "I like that. Come on,"
"Whoa! Hey! Wait for me!" you heard him after you take off running.
"Hurry it up, Ninja turtle," you teased him, giggling.
You hear him laughing as then you saw a blur of something jump in front of you as he somehow caught up. Needless to say, he let you win, knowing that your happiness was what mattered the most.
Fin.
