How would the feral au turtles react to finding MC crying
They find you crying
Finally getting requests done whoo! For any and all requests that I've gotten I'm gonna be doing a HC format for them just so I can actually get these done. Some of these requests have been in my inbox for a hot minute -w-'
Not proofread
Raph
Oh god. Oh god. What does he do? What should he do? Are you hurt? He doesn't smell any blood on you.. Is it an internal injury?!
Man is panicking hard, frozen in place and watching you cry- trying hard to figure out the cause and how to fix it.
As much as the turtles try, Raph has a bit of a hard time with dealing with emotions. It isn't something physical or something he can see in front of him. It's not something he can growl or scratch and scare away. Or a wound that he can treat and make it better. It frustrates him that there is a type of pain that he can't see that hurts you just as much as if you were actually hurt. He can't protect you from something he can't see. He almost starts crying with you.
When it comes to comforting you, Raph is a bit awkward at first. It's almost funny, seeing the huge bulking turtle hesitate and hover over you like you're made of glass- terrified that one wrong move or sound will make things worse. But eventually, he settles on just sitting with you.
He doesn't touch you unless you reach out for him first. Only then will he pick you up and sit you on his lap, wrapping you in the biggest bear hug you've ever had in your life. He lets you rant about what made you upset, letting out an occasional rumble to let you know he's listening.
After you've calmed down, Raph will linger for a while just in case. If this is early in the relationship- He'll be more tolerant towards things you try to get him to do, like trying to dress him up or getting him to try human technology. He won't grumble and pout about it as much, not wanting to upset you again.
Donnie
Like Raph, Donnie struggles with emotions. It's not something that is physically in front of him to probe and take apart to fix (he's tried that once with you before. It ended with a bump on his head and him being locked out of the house for a week).
Surprisingly but not actually all that surprising, he's even more awkward about it than Raph. You know that gif of a guy comforting a girl who's sick by petting her back with a broom while he stands in the doorway? Yeah, that's Donnie.
His method of comforting is simply by being in the same space as you. Not close or touching, but present enough to let you know that he is there and you are not alone. And if you start talking about what upset you, he'll listen.
If you seek him out for physical comfort, he freezes up and bristles. He won't stop you, but most he can offer in return is some awkward pats and a low rumble.
After you've calmed down, Donnie will go back to his normal attitude. But he does linger a bit longer for a while after, his snark a bit softer.
Leo
Dramatic as hell. Treats the situation like you both are in a soap opera even though he has no idea what those are.
Gets super clingy with you. He thinks that if he tries hard enough, that affection will make you feel better. Drags you into his lap and holds onto you, nuzzling and chirping and gently rocking you both back and forth.
Will occasionally try to do silly things to make you laugh. Silly faces, trips over things on purpose, starts shit with his brothers- he once tried to imitate a street performer he saw that juggled knives. Band aids and forehead smooches were needed.
Will bring you gifts to try and cheer you up. From shiny rocks to people's wallets- anything from his stash he thinks will cheer you up he will bring to you. If his stuff doesn't work he mayy 'borrow' from his brother's things to gift to you instead.
SINCE WHEN DID HE RIP OUT A STREET SIGN???
When you've calmed down, Leo calms down in turn. He'll still be a bit clingy for a while after. Will lean on you more, wrap an arm around you and rest his chin on your head- simple but meaningful gestures to show you that he's there.
Mikey
Most normal out of the four. He may be feral but he hasn't lost his emotional intelligence.
Will approach you as if you were a wounded animal, slow steps and soft chirps. If you don't want him near, he'll understand and give you space. If you do want him there, he'll sit next to you and rub your back softly.
Will actually listen to you vent. Sure the others do listen to you, but Mikey is the one that actually responds back. Tilts his head when he wants you to elaborate on something, huffs and pouts when someone is mentioned, coos and pulls you into a hug if you start to cry harder and can't get the words out. He won't rush you. He'll wait until you're ready to talk again.
His method of comforting is cuddles and acts of service. Tries to cook for you by making you something you taught him in the past- even cleaning up after himself after so you don't have any more things to worry about. If he doesn't cook, he'll just bring you snacks he knows you like. He may or may not have asked Leo to swipe them a while back--
After you've calmed down, Mikey will stay with you. Turns it into a lazy day in with just you and him. Will bring over his art supplies so you two can have something to do together, or will pick out things you have lying around your house to do together. He ended up finding a jigsaw puzzle box and got super hooked with trying to solve it- Raph had to drag him home after Mikey refused to come back until he finished the puzzle.
Dividers are from @sugarish
Thank you guys so much for being patient with me! I know I haven't been the best at pumping out content and stuff but I have not forgotten all the requests that are in my inbox and drafts. Sadly, I don't think I will do all of them but I will do the ones I can!
