Title: The Dark And The Light

Ryo-chan wolfgirl: My last pairing is 2012 Mikey/Dark Leo, (fluff) The 2012 turtles are in the future with he 2003 turtles. While Dark Leo is recovering from his injuries, Mikey takes it upon himself to befriend him. It starts off rocky but eventually the two grow close, really close. Dark Leo decides to stay with them and confesses his feelings for Mikey, who does the same.

Yahoo! This should be awesome! The cuteness!

2012 Mikey's POV:

" What?! No way!" Mike whined as he gripped tight to his newly-made hover board while I stood by him with my hover board." I am not going to go in there to feed that huge monster!"

" Come on, Mike," Don insisted, holding out the food tray filled with 3 pizza slices and a glass of water." All you need to do is give this to Dark Leo through the small opening in the force field that only we can pass through and your done! What could possibly go wrong?"

" Oh nothing. Just, hmm, I don't know," my counterpart started sounding sarcastic after he gave me his hover board and moved his hand around to show an example of his point." Maybe...he'll-use-one-of-his-claws-to-grab-me-then-threaten-to-kill-me-if-I-don't-let-him-out!"

I giggled and he glared at me with a growl so I hid my laughs behind the stacked-up hover boards on my arms.

I couldn't help it! He's such a drama turtle!

" Aw, come on Michelangelo," Cody tried to persuade him." Things can't go that bad,"

" Uh, yeah it could!" Raphael cried out loud as he leaned against a wall with Raph next to him with arms folded." Dark Leo is nothin' but trouble! If we get Mike there, he could use him against us!"

" Besides," Raph added." if you guys are that confident, why won't you guys feed Dark Leo yourselves?"

" Because we're still examining how he's doing," Donnie explained." You guys, on the other hand, are barely helping us with anything,"

" Alright, I get that," Mike nodded, his arms folded." I get that we should help more...but why me?!"

" Because why not." Leonardo spoke up solemnly." You need to do something else than play, Michelangelo. Help us with this, at least!"

" I agree," Leo said, his voice as solemn as his counterpart's but sounding a bit soft." Stop complaining, Mike. Just do it,"

" B-But..."

" Ooh!" I dropped everything I had in my arms and raised my hand up." Can I do it?! Can I do it?! Can I feed Dark Leo?! Please?!"

" Why da ya even wanna try?" Raphael growled." He's a monsta'! He'll always be one since he's a dark clone!"

" But, dude, he saved Cody!" I argued." That may mean he's turning good! He is partly Leo and Leonardo so he probably has their good traits!"

" Mikey, take a good hearin' on the word 'DARK'! It means he's the exact opposite of our eldest brotha's! And the opposite of a leada'! There ain't no good trait in a dark clone!"

" His brothers left him for dead! Technically, he stopped siding with them and sided with us! Come on, Raphael! Just give him a chance!"

" I still don't think..."

" Don't forget; 'An enemy of my enemy is my friend.' That's exactly what he is now! An enemy to his brothers, which means he can be a friend to us!"

" What does that even-"

" No, Raphael," Leonardo said in a serious tone, placing a hand on my shoulder." Mikey's wise words are correct,"

" Excuse me, wise?" Don questioned as he raised one of his eye brows." Since when did a Mikey counterpart actually become wise?"

" I think the 2nd time," Donnie pointed out.

" Well," Raph added." the last time he said that, he was right about Leatherhead...yeah, okay. Let's trust him,"

" Ya can't be serious, Raph!" Raphael got really mad." Somebody, side with me here!"

" Nope," Mikey replied, chuckling as Cody shook his head and responded," Not this time, Raphael,"

Leo placed a hand on my shoulder and gave me the food tray then he smiled, saying," Be careful, Mikey. There might be a chance for Dark Leo to change but he's still pretty feisty so you have to be careful,"

I nodded with a smile then I ran off to the holo-dojo(that's what I call it!). I got a bit hesitant when I was at the door but I quickly shook it off and knocked before entering.

" Hello!" I called out as I entered and looked around." Dark Leo!"

" Can you shut up?" a grumpy voice suddenly grumbled.

I turned to the huge blue turtle in the force field, wrapped in bandages but armed with weapons. I smiled widely and walked over to him.

" Hello there!" I greeted." I'm Mikey, Michelangelo's counterpart!"

" And I'm Leonardo's clone, Dark Leonardo," he bluntly said, rolling his eyes." Now, what do you want cause I'm sure the others wouldn't tell you to free me,"

" Yep! They didn't! I'm just here to give you some food!"

I found the opening Don pointed out and slid the food tray inside the force field. Dark Leo ate it all and drank the water then I yelped when he grew angry and then threw the tray to the force field before growling.

" Woah, woah!" I tried to calm his rage down." Dude, calm down!"

" How can I?!" he yelled." I want to get out! I'm already healed up! Let me out of this force field!"

" B-But then, you might escape..."

" That's exactly why I wanna get out of here! I'm tired of being a prisoner!"

" Bruh, you ain't a prisoner,"

" Liar! You kept me in a force field-like cage!"

" Firstly, it's not really a cage. It's a safe place for you to stay. Secondly, it's because you might hurt us. Plus, you aren't fully healed up yet. You still need a lot of time to be in good recovery!"

He deeply glared at me with his golden eye and his robotic eye before sitting down with his arms folded, his legs crossed and his head turned away from me as if he was meaning to avoid me. I sighed in relief as I sat down with my legs crossed too. We had a long moment of silence until 1 of us spoke up.

" What are you still doing here?" he asked coldly.

" Oh, right," I moved a bit closer to his force field." Other than feeding you, I wanted to try to befriend you,"

" If that's what my good clones told you to do then I'm not interested."

" Nah, they didn't tell me,"

" Then why do it? I'm a monster, aren't I?"

I chuckled." You aren't a monster, Dark Leo. No one is,"

" I am. Everyone can see it and that's why I was made. To be a monster."

" Well, I can't see it,"

" You're blind. Get some glasses."

" Seriously, Dark Leo. I believe that no one is a monster,"

" Yeah, right. Me and my brothers are monsters,"

" Is that how Darius treats you dudes all the time?"

" Yeah, cause that's what we are and that's what we were made to be,"

The last thing he said made me flinch.

How could he think so low of himself? If he was a real monster, he would be running wild!

Anyway, I moved a bit closer to the force field and gently placed a hand on it's barrier, catching his attention and making him turn his head towards me as I smiled and softly said, " Maybe you just think you're a monster cause too much people treat you that way,"

" How can you know that?" he replied, sounding as if he was confused.

" Well, firstly, I have a mutant best friend who also thinks that he's a monster even though he really isn't. Also, back in my dimension, alien and mutants aren't allowed out in the streets. If humans found us, they either scream, run away or call for the police then they'll take us to some mad scientist to either experiment on us or dissect us,"

" Really now?"

" Yep! I nearly got dissected myself!"

He grumbled to himself, turning away again so I laid down on my plastron and moved my legs around while my hand was still on the force field.

" So...can we at least try to be friends?" I asked as I looked at him with my puppy eyes." Please? Pretty please?!"

He turned back to me and groaned, responding," Ugh! Fine! Just stop looking at me like that! Let's try to be friends but I won't like it!"

I smiled really wide as he placed his hand on the force field, right on top of mine!

Yay! This should be fun! Besides, he is kinda cute...

(TIME SKIP)

Dark Leo's POV:

It's been a couple of weeks since I agreed to try to become friends with Michelangelo's younger and shorter counterpart. Mikey, was it? Yeah, that's it.

I wish I hadn't though.

Honestly, it isn't that bad having him visit me every time and everyday, him bringing me food to eat, drinks to drink, games to play, and sometimes brings out a ukulele to play some songs. Me and him often talk about lots of things after I eat and/or drink whatever food and/or drinks he gives me. The game that we often play is the I Spy game but I spy somethings about him that I never say out loud.

I know I'm suppose to be all dark and evil but whenever he comes, I always think that he's really adorable. His baby blue eyes shimmer everytime I stare at them and his freckles make him even more irresistible. His voice sounds like a voice of a cute little angel and the way he speaks to me always makes my day from boring to...amazing.

Ugh! Is it normal to feel this way with the counterpart of your brother's good clone? I have no idea.

To be honest, I don't even miss my home or my brothers. I like-no, I love Mikey's company. It's really comforting for me. He treats me as if I'm not a prisoner and/or a monster at all. I feel like I want to stay here and be with him. Whenever he leaves to train or to do something with the others, I feel lonely and I always wait for his company again. I'm beginning to think that he likes my company too cause most of the time, he visits me late at night and even sleeps near my force field then when I wake up, he's still asleep near me so I always get to see his adorable face before he wakes up with a smile.

Well, I guess I have a crush now.

Anyway, right now, Mikey's busy with cooking dinner with Michelangelo so Leonardo's the one who went into place where I was left in tonight.

Great. Just great.

Also, if things couldn't be more annoying, he's telling me some kind of bedtime story about a frog and a scorpion. It's really lame but then, I kinda got the moral of it. After that, he went away, dropping the force field controller. I got excited and grinned evilly as I grabbed it but as soon as I did, realization hit me to where I realized why Leonardo dropped it.

He was testing me.

As I heard from my crush, everyone, excluding Mikey, Raphael and his counterpart, Raph, thinks that I can change. Raphael and Raph thinks of me low and thinks that I'll never change. Mikey, on the other hand, really believes in my good side. He doesn't just think that I can change but he knows that I can and I will change.

Well, maybe for him, I can. He is pretty persuasive, especially since he's sweet and caring as much as his cuteness can be compared.

But then, I guess Leonardo really wants to see if I will make the right decision or not. Unfortunately, I am not so sure anymore.

I mean, I need to call my brothers to fight and take out Cody and his friends. That's my real mission. I needed to continue with our plan to impress our so-called master Darius Dun but...something deep inside of me is stopping me from continuing.

Mikey. He's the one stopping me.

I know he isn't meaning to do any harm on purpose but he is the one stuck in my mind and the only thing keeping me from pressing the button to release me from my own captivity. I don't want to hurt him. Physically and emotionally. I love him so much and I don't wanna lose him just because of a stupid plan that my evil side made.

That's it. That's my decision.

I dropped the remote back down on the floor and sat down behind it in a meditative pose. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to keep my heart from beating so fast that I could feel it thumping. Suddenly, my chest felt heavy but my mind felt clear.

Hope I made the right decision though...

(NEXT DAY)

Mikey's POV:

I got up from bed and happily placed on my gear before heading off to the holo-dojo. As soon as I opened the door, I gasped in delight at the sight as tears of joy and happiness started falling from my eyes.

There, Dark Leo was asleep as he sat in a meditative pose while he stayed inside the force field...when the force field remote's right in front of him!

" Dark Leo!" I cried out, waking him up with a jolt.

" Huh?" he looked around then when he saw me, he stood up immediately." Oh, Mikey! I didn't see you there,"

I smiled really wide as I ran to him. He noticed the tears in my eyes and started getting worried.

" Hey, are you okay?" he asked in a worried tone.

He's actually worried?! I can't believe it! He actually changed!

" O-Oh, I-I'm fine!" I replied, stammering a little bit as I wiped the tears off my eyes but more of it still came out since I couldn't help myself from being so happy for him." T-They're just tears of happiness! I-I just knew you had it in you, D. Leo! You actually changed!"

He blinked at me in shock and looked at his hands before facing me again.

" I-I guess I did," he said, chuckling." Who knew, right?"

" I did and I'm so happy that you did the right thing!"

" Well, of course I did. You helped,"

I got surprised as my eyes widened." I-I did? How?"

" Without you, I could never change," he placed a hand on the force field with a smile." Ever since you offered to be friends, I noticed how cute your face was and how nice you are compared to the others. Your company is the best and whenever you're not around, I feel cold and lonely. Honestly, I've grown to be fond of you already. I felt something great; love. The one thing I thought I'd never feel. I love you with all of my heart and I want to stay with you for as long as we both shall live,"

I was speechless with both of my eyes still wide as I blinked at his huge hand.

I can't believe what I heard! Sure, I was starting to have a huge crush on him and that's why I love to be with him but I wasn't expecting him to feel the same way as I do. It's so...surprising!

I smiled sweetly and placed a hand on the force field, right on top of his then said," I love you too, D. Leo,"

He blushed and I blushed too. I bent down to pick up the remote and pressed the button, releasing the force field and setting him free. He walked up to me and placed his hands at the sides of my waist while I placed my hands on his shoulders. We both drowned on each other's eyes. Soon, his arms were around my waist as he leaned in for a kiss, which I melted into and returned while wrapping my arms around his neck. We pulled away and lost ourselves in each other's eyes again but then, a dark thought suddenly came to me.

" You okay, babe?" he asked, looking at me with concern." Something wrong?"

" I-I don't know," I replied as I looked down, unsure." but, I have a question,"

" What is it?"

I looked back up at him and took a deep breath before asking.

" How do you think our families will react?"
