2012 LeoCasey HCs go go gooo!!
*gasp* Finally! My time has come!
Both boys are bisexual, but Leo was in huge denial in the beginning that he also likes boys while Casey was more open about it but doesn't make a big deal over it
While they were staying at April’s farmhouse and Leo was recovering from his leg injury, Casey noticed Raph was under a lot of stress from training Donnie, Mikey and April, trying to take care of everyone, taking the role of temporary leader, and also being a caregiver for Leo, so Casey volunteered to help him out by offering to watch over and take care of Leo so Raph could focus more on training the others. Raph accepted. This resulted in Casey and Leo spending a lot of time together at the farmhouse. Casey would keep Leo company while the others were off training: talking, joking around, playing video games, and even watching Spaceheroes with Leo. The two bonded and realizes they have a lot more in common than they thought, with the two bonding over being the oldest siblings and trying to do everything in their power to keep their younger sibling(s) safe and happy, feeling as if they are more of a parent to them than a sibling because dad is never around or is always busy.
Leo began to develop a crush on Casey after a night of them chatting and Casey opens up to him about his personal family struggles and other problems. Leo saw another side of him and began to look at him differently. He’s not just some reckless goofball who hangs out with his hot tempered brother, he’s actually mature and just trying to find the positives in a difficult life. Leo admired that fact about Casey, and feelings began to spark.
Casey was very oblivious to Leo’s feelings in the beginning. When he got close and personal to Leo he would begin to blush like a huge dork, Casey just thought he was making Leo uncomfortable. The oblivious loudmouth x the shy dork trope.
Casey began to develop a crush on Leo also during the farmhouse and started wanting to spend more time with Leo when they returned back to New York. Eventually he opened up to Raph, asking him if Leo ever talks about him, Raph quickly figured out what was going on and told him that he should go for it and ask Leo out, telling him that Leo likes him too. Raph knew the whole time Leo and Casey had a thing going on. They aren’t very good at hiding their feelings. Raph knows them both so well that he figured it out quickly.
Leo initiated their first kiss, he was trying to properly confess his feelings but he was tripping over his word. It wasn’t easy that Casey was giving him a charming smug smile that made him lose his train of thought, so knowing actions speak louder than words, Leo pulls Casey towards him and quickly kisses him. As he pulls away, Leo begins to panic and apologizes as Casey stood in shock from what happened. As Leo begins to stumble over his words again, apologize and trying to make up excuses, Casey smiles, and without a word spoken, lifts Leo’s chin and kisses him.
Their first date was Casey taking Leo to the hockey rink after closing to teach Leo how to skate (think of it like the skating date scene from Happy Gilmore)
The two kept their relationship a secret from everyone and tried dating, but sadly Leo couldn’t go through with it, with Shredder still out there and Karai still missing, Leo was under too much stress to date. Casey understood and told Leo he would wait for him, the two agree to just be friends. They finally begin dating during season 5.
Casey’s pet name for Leo is “Baby Blue” and Leo calls him his “Hockey Knight”
Casey’s family actually knew about his secret vigilante life and mutant friends for a long time, Casey being a scalie was the big surprise.
