Hey guys! And can I just say… THIS IS PRETTY LONG! I had an idea in my head… but then this nice and fluffy idea didn't stay that way… WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
Responses~
Special thanks to Nehamee, Beakers47 and ThomasTheHuman for favoriting and/or following!
To pinksakura: My bad, I was kinda in a rush to finish everything… I'll make sure it never happens again! And the idea I have for a one-shot will have Karai, Mona, April, and all the boys together, you'll see!
To Skye7Diamond: Thanks for forgiving me.. Again lol. And yes, Raph x Mona is now official! In the one-shot world anyways.
To Guest: All of them are the same age, 15-16. Thank you for reviewing!
To Tmntisawesome: I love your idea! It'll be the next chapter! I'm kinda selfish and I really like the idea for this chapter, so I'm sorry if you wanted it to be this chapter, but it'll be the next one! And to answer your question, I love all of them equally, but if I had to choose, I would go with Mikey or Leo, which is ironic since both of them seem to like anime more than Raph and Donnie. But once again, it's hard to choose since they're all amazing!
So many ships are in this chapter… I love it :D We shall continue, onto the next one-shot!
(In this Karai and the gang are friends, cause in my Human Life story things are confusing, just know that a lot of these might not be connected to my other story, I'll tell you if it ever is 3)
"I will see you on Saturday morning, my sons." Master Splinter said, dragging his suitcase down the front steps and into the driveway, where a bright yellow car was waiting.
"Bye Sensei, have fun in Japan!" Mikey yelled back, waving vigorously. Splinter chuckled, shaking his head as he got into the taxi cab. Before the taxi drove off, he rolled down the window to say one last thing.
"Leonardo is in charge!" He yelled. And with that being said, he drove off into the distance, leaving the four boys alone for an entire week. His annual trip to Japan was to visit some family members that still lived there, along with wanting to visit his wife's and daughter's graves at the cemetery.
The teens walked back into the house, the feeling of new found freedom entering the room.
"Hey, we should invite-"
"No Mikey, didn't you hear what Sensei was telling us before he left? He said we couldn't have anyone over." Leo cut his little brother off, who rolled his eyes and dramatically sat on one of the kitchen chairs.
"Come on Leo, it'll be fun! We could invite April, Mona, LH, and Karai." Mikey said in a taunting tone, giving his eldest brother a look when he mentioned the leader's crush.
Donnie and Raph snickered in the background, finding humor over how quick Leo was to blush at even the mention of the girl's name. Leo glared at them, before looking back over to Mikey, who had an evil grin on his face.
"N-no Mikey, you heard me. No means no." Leo crossed his arms and stood above Mikey, trying to look and act like the leader Master Splinter had always expected him to be.
But Mikey wasn't gonna give up that easy, so he did one thing he knew nobody, especially his oldest brother, was able to deny. His evil grin quickly turned into a sad pout, as he purposely looked at Leo with sadness in his eyes.
"Please Leo! Don't you wanna hangout with everyone? And nothing bad will happen, I promise!" Mikey grabbed Leo's wrist, pulling on his arm as he pleaded.
"Uh guys, a little help?" Leo turned to his other brothers, who didn't seem to really care about the situation. Leo knew that as much as he wanted to believe he was a strict, mature, and non-persuadable person, his little brothers, especially the youngest, could change his opinion at the blink of an eye.
Raph and Don looked up from their own conversation to look over at Leo, who had a pleading look on his face.
"Actually, I don't really mind having people over. It's not like we'll destroy the house or something." Donnie responded, shrugging his shoulders as he spoke. Raph nodded in agreement, before turning back towards his immediate younger brother to continue their conversation.
"Now, as I was sayin' Don, April-"
"Come on guys! You would really go against Splinter's orders that quickly? Raph I understand, but seriously Donnie?" Donnie only shrugged his shoulders again, not caring as long as April could come over.
Plus, he was especially happy since Casey was away for the weekend for his ice hockey tournament in New Jersey, which meant that he wasn't able to come over and ruin his quality time with April.
Leo groaned, and regretfully looked back at Mikey, who's famous puppy-dog-eyes had somehow managed to look even more upset than they did before. How Mikey was still able to pull off such a childish look at the age of 15, will always be a mystery to everyone he knew.
Eventually, Leo couldn't take anymore, as he roughly pulled his arm away in defeat.
"Fine! We can have people over, but don't expect me to cover up for you if something bad happens!" Leo yelled, as Mikey smiled in victory.
"Yes! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to text a couple of people, you guys can just hang tight until they come." Mikey ran off towards the stairs, and a faint "This is going to be epic!" could be heard in the background.
Soon after that, April, Leatherhead, Mona Lisa, and Karai showed up at the front door. Mikey zoomed towards the front door to greet his friends.
"Hello ladies! And Leatherhead! Welcome to our humble home." He said, opening the door to let the guests inside.
Leo walked out of his bedroom and down the stairs to greet everyone, when he noticed they were all carrying sleeping bags. He raised an eyebrow as he walked closer to everyone, and closer to Mikey. He snagged the blonde's arm and brought him out of the kitchen.
"Uh Mikey, why do they all have sleeping bags?" Leo asked, eyeing his brother.
"You said we could have people over! So I invited them over to stay the night!" Mikey answered, his signature smile on his face.
"I meant that you could have people over to hangout with! Not to sleep over! We wouldn't even be allowed to have a girl, let alone three girls over to sleepover!" Leo said in frustration, whisper-yelling so that nobody else could hear them.
"Oh sweet, are they here already?" Leo looked up the stairs to see Raph and Donnie walking down. They would have to agree with him on this, right?
"Yeah, yeah they are! And guess what, Mikey invited them to sleepover!" Leo said, gesturing towards Mikey, who looked towards his brothers for a response.
"Really? That's cool." Raph said, walking towards the kitchen. Leo gave him a confused look, before turning towards Donnie, who had a happy… no wait scared?... stupid is probably the best way to describe it, look on his face. The blush on his cheeks almost made him look as if he was about to pass out, lightly concerning Leo.
"Mikey…" Donnie walked up to his only little brother, who didn't know how to react to his brother's odd behavior. Donnie put his hands on Mikey's shoulders, and looked down to meet his eyes.
"Thank you, thank you so much." He mumbled, before letting go and slowly walking into the kitchen, all while looking up and mumbling his gratitude towards the sky.
You gotta be kidding me. Leo thought to himself, not liking his odds in the situation.
"Well then, if we're done here, we got guests to entertain!" Mikey exclaimed, walking away before Leo could say anything else.
Eventually, everyone sat in the living room, all the furniture being pushed to the sides of the room so that they all could sit in the middle of the room and have more space. They all laid out their own sleeping bags, although Mikey offered Leatherhead the couch, since he was pretty tall and he didn't want his friend to be uncomfortable.
It was a late Friday night when Sensei left, so Leo demanded that they all at least stay inside, not wanting something bad to happen.
With Raph's arm over her shoulders, Mona spoke up, having a fun idea.
"Ok guys, let's play truth or dare." She said, having a mischievous look in her eyes. Everyone agreed, and soon they were all in a circle. (And I'm pretty sure you can guess who's sitting next to who, and I'm too lazy to explain it so yeah let's continue.)
"I'll go first since I came up with this genius idea." Mona laughed, while she sat up to get more comfortable. "Karai, truth or dare?"
"Dare." The Japanese girl looked up with a smirk on her face, not being one to back down from a challenge.
"I dare you to kiss Leo, on the lips." Mona said, as Raph and Mikey made kissing face to mock Leo, who sat with a blush on his face.
"Wow, we're jumping right into this ok." April mumbled.
Karai only shrugged, and she forcefully grabbed Leo by his collar, and pushed her mouth onto his. The kiss lasted for about ten seconds, before she pulled away to wipe her mouth with the back of her wrist.
While everyone cheered and whistled, aside from Leatherhead who simply had his hand over Mikey's eyes, Leo sat there in shock, not knowing what to say or how to feel. Did that really just happen? With Leo having a happy, yet partially embarrassed, look on his face, it was Karai's turn to ask someone a truth or dare.
"Ok, I choose Donnie! Truth or dare, Einstein." Karai asked, while Donnie gave her an annoyed look due to the nickname.
"Truth." He answered bluntly, not wanting to fulfill a dare like Leo.
"Tell us how you really feel about April, and don't be shy to leave out any details!" Donnie's face immediately had a bright red color scattered along it, his eyes widening while everyone only laughed around him.
"W-well, I think she's a r-really great friend, a-and I'm lucky to have s-someone who understands me o-on an academic level, such as h-herself." Donnie stuttered, trying to voice his opinion in a way that April wouldn't find out about his crush on her.
"Aw, thank you Don, I feel the same way about you!" April said, totally unaware of how nervous Donnie was. That statement made Donnie blush even more, as he put a stupid smile on his face while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Aww, that was adorable Donnie!" Raph said in a mocking tone. Donnie glared at Raph, before an idea popped into his head.
"Well then Raph, it's your turn. Truth or dare?" Donnie asked.
"Dare." Raph said, having a smug look on his face. Donnie was glad that Raph had so much confidence in his reply, that would make Donnie's dare even more hilarious.
"I dare you to get your whole face done with makeup, and April, Mona, and Karai have to do it!" All of the three girls that were mentioned lit up, as they all ran to get their makeup out of their bags.
In the background, they could hear Mona saying "I've been waiting forever to do this!" And that made Raph tense up, and look at Donnie.
"Donnie, don't make me come over there and do something I'll regret." Raph growled, his emerald green eyes glaring daggers at his brother. Donnie only snickered, as the girls came back and surrounded Raph.
"W-wait a second! Since when do you guys have so much makeup, you guys barely wear any!" Raph said in shock, looking around and feeling like he was getting surgery due to all the brushes and palettes around him.
"Raph, you really think this winged eyeliner is natural?" Karai asked, pointing towards her eye.
"You couldn't possibly believe my eyelashes are this dark and long, I'm a redhead for crying out loud!" April exclaimed, directing Raph's attention towards her eyes.
"And do you really think my skin is this flawless, with these cheekbone and everything?" Mona asked, gesturing towards her whole face.
"Well you guys just make it look so natural! I don't know!" Raph yelled in anger, now starting to question how the girls around him really look.
"Boys are so stupid… Relax Raph. We don't put that much on." Mona sighed, getting her foundation.
Everyone was silent, aside from Raph's complaints when April was doing his eyes. After what seemed like hours, the three girls put their things away and moved away from Raph.
Mikey, Donnie, and Leo instantly started laughing, Mikey gripping onto Leatherhead's arm for support.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Raph growled, covering up his extreme embarrassment with anger. He dug into his pocket and pulled out his phone, opening the camera app to look at his face.
"Wha… what did you guys do ta me?!" He yelled at the three girls, who were sat back into their original seats. Instead of acknowledging the tempered teen, they all stared at his face, them all being proud of their work.
"If only I could do eyeliner that good on myself…" April mumbled to herself, the other girls nodding in agreement.
"Ok ok stop! Mikey, if you don't quit laughin' I'm gonna beat you inta next week!" Raph continued to yell, although the blonde couldn't help himself but laughter even more.
"Raph, you make a very pretty girl! Hahaha!" Mikey continued to laugh, clutching his stomach as he hunched over laughing.
"Oh that's it!" Raph jumped at Mikey, tackling him to the ground.
"Hey get off!" Mikey yelled, trying to wriggle out of Raph's grasp.
They wrestled on the ground, everyone sighing as they watched. They became used to the brothers fighting, although it got old after awhile.
Raph eventually pinned Mikey's wrists to the ground, as he hovered above the blonde.
"Say it!" Raph growled, the pin on Mikey's wrists tightening.
"No! I'm not saying Uncle!" Mikey responded, kicking his legs and trying to get away. Leo groaned at the sight, before standing up and walking towards the pair. The last thing he wanted was for someone to get hurt, or break something in the house.
"Raph get off of him!" Leo ordered, crossing his arms and glaring at Raph. Raph scoffed and turned around, raising an eyebrow at his older brother.
"Oh yeah? What if I don't?" Raph questioned. Leo took out his phone and pulled up a picture he had of Raph, who had just been finished getting his makeup done.
"I'll show this photo to Casey." Leo answered, putting a hand on his hip. Raph looked at him with wide eyes, before grumbling as he got off his youngest brother.
"I'm taking this shit off!" Raph exclaimed stomping towards the bathroom.
"Come on Raph! You just made us waste a lot of expensive products!" Karai yelled, throwing her arms up. Raph came back, and poked his head into the room.
"Well it's not my fault Donnie chose the dare, and it's not my fault that the crap you guys buy is extremely over-priced!" Raph retorted, walking into the bathroom to wash the makeup off.
Mikey got back up, and sat back into his original seat. He giggled as he thought of Raph wearing the makeup, and he earned a glare from Donnie and Leo. At that moment, April's head shot up as she made a loud gasp.
"Oh my god, I have an awesome dare! Can I go next, since Raph is washing off the makeup?" April asked, looking around for approval. They all nodded their heads and waited for April to speak.
"Ok sweet! Leatherhead, truth or dare?" She asked, looking at the tall teen.
"I'm guessing you want me to choose dare, yes? So dare." He answered, also being curious as to what he dare would be.
"I dare you to carry Mikey, and hold him like in the movie Lion King, and sing the part from The Circle Of Life." April said, hoping she explained it well enough. (Same April.)
"Are you serious? April come on, as awesome as that sounds, that's embarrassing!" Mikey exclaimed. Leatherhead chuckled, before getting up and lifting Mikey into the air.
"LH put me down! Come on bro, I'm begging you!" Mikey said, a blush forming on his cheeks as he was lifted even higher.
As Leatherhead began to sing the song, everyone started to laugh, along with Leo taking a photo of the event.
Raph eventually came out of the bathroom, before looking at the sight in front of him. He also began to laugh hysterically, bending over and putting his hands on his knees.
"Whoever had this idea, is a genius, hahaha!" Raph continued to laugh, as he walked back into his original spot.
Leatherhead eventually put Mikey down after he began to squirm out of his grip. Once Mikey was back on the ground, he sat and covered his face with his hands in embarrassment.
"Leo, if you don't delete that picture I'll-"
"Mikey be quiet!" Leo cut him off, the second time today, looking down the hall. Mikey immediately zipped his mouth closed, recognizing the serious
expression on Leo's face.
"What's goin' on?" Raph whispered to Leo, who kept eyeing the hallway. Leo stood up, and without making any noise, lifted one of the couch cushions where a hidden switch blade was tucked away. He grabbed it, and cautiously moved back to the middle of the room.
"Someone's in here." Leo whispered, although everyone in the room heard him crystal clear. As they all stayed quiet, the four brothers were able to sense someone else in the house, and thanks to their ninja training, it wasn't that hard.
"Karai, Mona, April and Leatherhead stay in here, Raph, Donnie, Mikey and I will go." Leo ordered, looking at everyone in the room.
"Um Leo, I think you're forgetting that Mona, April and I have also been training, along with Leatherhead, who definitely knows how to take care of himself." Karai argued, although still keeping her voice low.
"Look, you guys are our responsibility right now. If one of you gets hurt under our watch it won't be good. If anybody comes in I'm sure you guys can handle yourselves, but we don't know how many people there are, so just stay here!" Leo whisper-yelled, looking over his shoulder.
Karai didn't say another word, except she nodded and back away. The four boys slowly made their way in the hallway, all while staying stealthy. Leo, being in front, made his way up to the corner and poked his head into the room, where he saw three guys wearing all black look around the room.
Leo looked at his brothers, before nodding at them. They all nodded back, understanding what the leader meant. Leo quickly ran into the room, his brothers behind him.
"Stop what you're doing!" Leo yelled, startling the men. All of them reached into the coats, and pulled out guns. All of the brothers' eyes widened, not expecting them to have weapons other than a bat or their own fists.
"Listen kids, we don't wanna hurt ya, just let us grab some stuff and we'll be on our way." One of the guys, he was tall and fairly built, yelled while pointing the gun at them.
"Now!" Leo yelled, and soon, all of them were fighting.
Donnie ran up to one of them, he was average height and a bit overweight, and before he got the chance to pull the trigger, Donnie was already hitting the gun out of his hand, and quickly pinned him to the floor.
Raph charged at the guy furthest away, who was pretty tall and practically a stick. The guy clumsily shot, but luckily missed and Raph dodged the bullet. He punched the guy in the face and then kicked his rib cage, causing him to fall over. Raph quickly kicked the gun away, and pinned the guy as he laid on his stomach.
Leo and Mikey went for the main guy, who had his gun pointed at them. He quickly shot, but he was shooting at thin air, because the two brothers were already behind him. Leo grabbed the man's left arm and his right shoulder, before kicking the man's knee, bringing the guy down. Mikey quickly grabbed the gun and put it to the side, as Leo pinned the guy down.
"Mikey, call the cops." Leo ordered, not looking up from the guy. Mikey nodded, standing up and reached into his pocket. But when he put his hand is his pocket, he didn't feel his phone.
Shoot! I probably left it in my room. Mikey thought to himself. His other option was the house phone in the kitchen, so with that thought in his mind, he raced into the kitchen to grab the phone.
As he ran in, he knocked into a tall black figure. Mikey fell backwards, and looked up to see a man in all black, holding a gun in one hand, while the other was holding one of Master Splinter's tea cups he brought back from Japan from his visit last year. Michelangelo's eyebrows narrowed, as he used his legs to trip the man, who fell instantly.
As the man fell, he let go of the gun and and tea cup, leaving them to fly in the air. Mikey quickly stood up and caught both items, quickly putting them on the kitchen counter. The man got up, and made his way towards Mikey. The man punched him in the face, leaving a scratch due to his ring. Mikey growled, recovering quickly and kicked him in the groin, making the man fall on his knees with a loud groan. Mikey reached up and grabbed the gun, and pointed it at the man's head.
"Don't move bro!" Mikey threatened, slowly walking towards the phone while his eyes never left the man's body. Mikey quickly grabbed the phone to call 911. As Mikey began to dial the number, he heard the man laugh in the background.
"What's so funny?" Mikey asked, confused as to why the man would laugh at a time like this.
"You wouldn't shoot, you're too much of a pussy." The man mocked, slowly getting up. Mikey pointed the gun directly at the man, although his hand was definitely shaking.
"C'mon kid, do it, I dare you." The man spat, challenging the young teen. Mikey's eyes went wide. Was he actually going to shoot the man if he tried to do something? Was he going to be responsible for someone going to the hospital, and possibly dying. Would he really live up to the threat?
But before Mikey could do or say anything, a tall figure slowly made its way into the room. Mikey recognized that frame from anywhere, Leatherhead.
Leatherhead grabbed the man by his hair and quickly pinned him to the ground. His eyes almost looked white with all the rage he had in his system.
"Call the police, Michelangelo. I've got it from here." Mikey nodded, and quickly dialed 911.
The cops came in a short amount of time, and took the four men into custody. They tried to contact Master Splinter, but the boys explained to them that he was most likely on the plane by now, and would be for the whole night.
While Leo and Karai talked to the cops, the rest of the brothers went back to their friends, who were still in the living room.
"Are you guys alright?" Raph asked, looking at all his friends. Everyone nodded, and Mona ran up to Raph to give him a tight hug.
"Don't ever scare me like that again Raphael, understand?" Mona scolded, not letting go of her boyfriend. Raph rested his hand on the small of her back, a small gesture that he did to reassure others, although he would deny it.
"That goes for you too Donatello, you guys had us scared shitless!" April yelled, hugging Donnie around his neck. Donnie hugged her back, wrapping his arms around her waist, glad that she wasn't hurt.
Before Leatherhead could say anything to his blonde companion, Mikey ran up to him and hugged him around the waist.
"You're alright, right LH?" Mikey said, not meeting Leatherhead's turquoise eyes.
"I am quite alright, my friend. But what about yourself? You seem to have a scratch on your cheek, Michelangelo." Leatherhead responded, moving backwards to see Mikey's face.
"What scratch?" Raph asked, breaking away from Mona to walk towards his brother. Leatherhead let go of Mikey, giving him some space to be checked by his brothers.
"Raph, I'm fine-"
"Shut up." Raph cut him off, tilting Mikey's face to the right, where a single cut lies on his cheek.
"Raph move, let me check it out." Donnie gently turned Mikey towards him, examining the cut. After for what seemed like hours of complete silence, Donnie sighed and took a step back.
"It's nothing too deep, you don't need stitches, but I should probably bandage it and clean it." Donnie said, putting a hand on Mikey's shoulder. He then turned to Raph, eyeing him from head to toe.
"And you're not hurt either, right?" Donnie questioned. Raph simply shook his head, remembering that he hadn't let the man lay a finger on him.
"Ok, could you get Leo for me? I wanna make sure he isn't hurt either." Donnie asked, and Raph only rolled his eyes.
"You're worrying too much, but I'll get him for ya." Raph responded, walking down that hall, where the cops were questioning the eldest and Karai. Donnie glared at Raph for a moment, before pulling Mikey into the kitchen to take care of his cut.
"Ok Mikey, just sit here." Donnie patted the kitchen table, gesturing for Mikey to sit down. He had learned over time (And by that I mean his brothers are always getting into fights or accidents.) that the table was the perfect height for them to be at his eye level, so that he could have the best angle for dealing with injuries.
They stayed silent for awhile, and Mikey let his immediate older brother clean and bandage the cut. But before Donnie finished unwrapping the bandage, he spoke up.
"Hey uh, D. Can I ask you something?" Mikey asked, the smallness of his voice made Donnie perk up, not being used to his brother sounding so distraught and lost.
"Yeah, what is it?" Donnie asked, looking into Mikey's eyes, although the blonde looked his hands, which were being fiddled with on his lap.
"If someone tried to hurt you, so in defense you threaten to hurt them back, does that make you a bad person?" Mikey asked, trying to put is words in the most theoretical situation.
"Well, if it's for defense, then of course not." Donnie answered, not understanding why his brother would ask such a question.
"Ok… but let's say that you wind up hurting the person, and he ends up really hurt, or even dead, would you still not be a bad person?" Mikey asked, meeting Donnie's eyes.
"W-well, if the perpetrator tried to kill you, but you killed him in defense, then yes, you still wouldn't be a bad person. Why do you ask? Did something happen?" Donnie asked, concern filling his eyes.
"When I came into the kitchen, there was another guy. And he had Sensei's cup and a gun. So I got the cup and gun, and pointed the gun at him. I threatened him, but he said I was too afraid to actually… shoot. But I wouldn't of done it! It was just an empty threat. But what if both of us were wrong, what if I did shoot him, what if I was responsible for…" Mikey couldn't finish his sentence, due to his throats holding back the words, as his filled with tears.
"Mikey…" Donnie couldn't do or say anything else, except hug his brother.
"You would've just been defending yourself. And even if you did hurt him, everyone would understand, you wouldn't be a bad person, Mikey." Donnie said reassuringly.
"Y-yeah, you're right." Mikey said, wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt.
Donnie continued to unpackage the bandage, until it was out. He gently put it on Mikey's cheek, ruffling his hair as a gesture of affection.
They both walked back into the living room, where Leo and Karai were talking to everyone about what the cops had said.
"Leo, you're okay right? You weren't hurt?" Donnie asked, Mikey leaving his side.
"No, I'm fine, you?" Leo asked.
"I'm fine. I had to patch up Mikey though." Donnie mentioned, and Leo quickly turned towards his youngest brother, who was talking to April.
"Hey Mikey, you okay?" Leo asked, turning Mikey around by his shoulder.
"What? Yeah, I'm fine, it's just a scratch!" Mikey said, his signature smile planting itself on his face. Leo lightly squeezed his shoulder, before turning away to talk to Karai.
The cops left twenty minutes after they had questioned everybody. They trusted the teens that they would call their father in the morning, since he would probably be off the plane by then.
Everybody went to bed in the living room, Raph having a protective arm around Mona, both sitting on the couch, Donnie and April laying right next to each other, Karai hugging Leo's arm, and Leatherhead laying his arm over Mikey's torso. He was too nice to kick Raph and Mona off the couch once they fell asleep on the couch together.
Everything turned out for the better at the end of the day, and they couldn't be anymore thankful to have each other.
Ok uh, my original idea was just for nothing to go wrong, but suddenly I changed that idea? Anyhow, the next two chapters will be posted at the same time, since both were requests and I'm too nice to post one before the other.
Have a good night! 3
