I started with April because she and Casey are the only ones I’ve actually completed. I’ve been very wishy washy with my turtles, so that’s been great lol. But while I work on them why not post their first friend and human ally!

On her way home from buying groceries; April had something mysterious fall into her grocery bag from the rooftops— Along with a sudden bang in the alleyway. Looking around confused before she knew it, she was surrounded by street punks stating that she had disturbed them with her little stunt, even more confused as they began to mug her. But before they could harm her any further four mutated turtles jumped down from the rooftops and saved her! As any regular person would be she was horrified, but with a few assurances and an outstretched hand she took the hand before her and stood up. The turtles stated they were looking for medicine for their father and one of them decided to cause trouble. (Cough. Cough. Michelangelo) She offered to help buy it for them, inside the store a robbery was taking place! And she was captured, which involved a high speed pursuit from the turtles. As instead of street punks this time it was an organized crime group. After being saved again… The turtles brought her back home, thanking her and she thanking them. She handed them her number and they exchanged “If you need anything just call.” Forming an inseparable bond.

Prior to her birth her parents had met at college where her mother, Carol had been studying to be a psychologist and her father, Kirby as a policeman. While they were in college they had owned an antique shop named: Second Time Around. Shortly after they both graduated college they had promptly fallen in love and had married eventually giving having; Ms. April Harriet O’Neil. Kirby had also started to notice Carol’s odd behavior as they started to wind down a bit. As Carol often left the young April alone and unattended to. He tried his best to keep April away from her as he learned of her true colors and the suspicious people she was working for. He had sent for divorce for Carol and had almost finalized it when she had died in a car accident. Kirby had promptly moved him and April to where they currently live. He met a young teenaged Irma who babysat April and soon a young Casey Jones and his family that moved in a few houses down and they became inseparable. They would all often go and visit her Aunt Mae in her farmhouse during summer months. Following Irma leaving for college and she and Casey growing apart, she often struggled to make friends as she looked for many distractions and ways to make friends and get by in school as she felt she never really fit in.

 “Karai,” Leo says, turning toward you and the small group, “have you given any more thought to what we talked about earlier?” 

        Karai sighs, standing up from her spot on the floor and giving a stretch up. She flicks her eyes from the ground to Leo’s, watching him with a sharp gaze. “I have.” 

        “And?” He asks, gesturing his hands out. 

        You and Shini share a look. 

        “Someone want to fill me in?” April asks, bobbing her head sassily. 

        “Leo wants us to move into the lair,” you say, watching Karai wrestle with the concept. 

        April mouths the word oh with a raise of her eyebrows. 

        There’s a long pause, but Leonardo waits patiently for Karai’s decision, holding her gaze firmly. 

        “If we move in here,” Karai says as if she’s choosing each word carefully, “you would have no right to tell me when and where I, or my team, goes.” 

        Leo’s jaw twitches. His eyes flick to yours briefly before turning back to Karai’s. “Fine.” 

        “And for no more than one month,” Karai says, holding out a single, counting finger. 

        “Three months,” Leo counters. “One month is hardly enough time to figure out if this leader is posing us a deeper threat! We’ve been after them already for months, and we’ve hardly even–”

        “Fine,” Karai says, lifting her chin and crossing her arms. 

        “--wait, really?” Leo asks, stunned. 

        “Yes, fine,” Karai says. 

        “Really?” Shini asks, surprised. 

        “Is there an echo in here?” Karai asks mockingly. “I said fine; that means yes, now let's just drop it and get on with it all.” She struts past Leo, towards the exit, but stops at the doorway. She holds onto the heavy wood-framed paper door, and tilts her head back to say, “Don’t make me regret this, Leonardo.” 

        “It’s the best thing for you and your team, right now,” Leo says honestly. 

        Karai sighs, nods her head, then walks out. 

        “I guess we’re packing our bags tonight,” you say, glancing at Shinigami. 

        “I guess so,” Shinigami says with a shrug. “Smooth move, Leonardo.” She smirks at him, patting his shoulder as she walks by. “I didn’t realize you were such an animal.” 

        “Move? Animal?” He asks, making a face. “You can see me, right?” He gestures at his mutant turtle form, giving her a confused look. 

        “Oh, you don’t have to pretend,” she teases, “we all know it’s just so you and (Y/N) can be… well,” she kisses her teeth, “closer every night.” She wiggles her eyebrows at him, and he catches on. 

        “W-What? No!” He bursts out defensively, his face an embarrassing shade of pink. “T-This is purely a tactical move!” 

        “Mm, right,” Shini says with a grin. 

        April snickers, and Leo whips his attention to her. 

        “Seriously?” Leo asks, flipping his hands out. “You all know as well as I do that the Red Foot are posing a serious threat and I’m only trying to protect–”

        “Sorry, sorry,” April says, stifling her laughter. 

        Leo’s eyes dart about the room, avoiding yours as he tries to gather himself. 

        “Don’t worry about it,” you say to Leo with a grin. “But I do hope you know that you’ll be getting a lot more of that from Shini with her living here. That’s just how she is.” 

        “...All the time?” Leo asks, finally looking at you again, his cheeks a residual pink. 

        “Oh, yeah,” you say with a laugh. “All the time.” 

        He gives a tight-lipped expression, and April laughs as she heads out of the room. 

        You and Leo walk side by side out of the Dojo at a comfortable pace. He glances down at your hand before deciding to take it in his, and your stomach flips. 

        “I can’t lie though,” Leo says, keeping his voice quiet despite the loud ruckus coming from the common area masking his words. “It will be nice having you around every day again.” 

        A smile tugs at your lips. You squeeze his hand and turn to face him as you walk. “It will be nice, won’t it?” 

“Yeah,” he says, his smile mirroring yours. 

        You both stop at the end of the hall, staring out at the packed living area. Leatherhead and Mikey are splashing about in the pool of water in the back, Mondo is using one of Mikey’s skateboards around the room, and Shini and Karai are back at the game machine behind a frustrated Raph beating away at his training dummy. The room is filled with energy, and grows louder as Mikey splashes water out at Raph, which makes him absolutely lose his already unstable temperament. 

        Leo pulls you closer to him so that your arms are practically squished between each other, and you bite your lip to keep a goofy grin from taking over your face. You lean into him ever so slightly, and the tension in his shoulders relaxes. 

        “With us moving in together,” you say, keeping your voice low, “don’t you think that poses a few complications?” 

        “What do you mean?” He asks, his blue mask lifting with his brow. “Your old room still has everything in it. You just need to bring your bedding over.” 

        Raph lets out a feral yell and is starting to throw things at Mikey, dodging the hits in the water. Leatherhead is frantically trying to convince Raph to calm down, but his words act as a stick poking an incredibly angry bear. 

        “If you’re worried about settling in again, I can even unpack and make your bed for you, if you want,” Leo says. “Then the move would be as simple as possible.” 

        Unsuccessfully hiding your smirk, you lean over to Leo’s ear and say quietly, “I’ll let you make my bed if you promise to be there at the end of the night.” 

        Leo inhales sharply, and with the grace of a turtle caught in a trap, he chokes on air, sending himself into a coughing fit. You cover your mouth, but it does little to stop the laugh that bursts out of it. You knew flirting with him so boldly would fluster him some, but his reaction is so startling, you can’t help but laugh. 

        “Are you gonna survive?” You ask as your laughter fades to quieter giggles. 

        As red as his brother’s bandana, he looks at you with wide eyes. 

        “What?” You ask innocently. “Too much?” 

        “You can’t say stuff like that out here,” he says frantically, his eyes darting out to the room then back to you. “I-I don’t… I don’t know what to do with that.” 

        You let out another laugh. “You’re supposed to flirt back, genius.” You lean over and place a smooch on his cheek, and his worried expression cracks. He touches a hand to his cheek, a soft smile lifting his blushing face. 

        You watch him with adoration and give his hand another encouraging squeeze. 

        “What am I going to do with you?” He asks fondly. 

        You blush, but your eyes stay locked on his while your smile widens. “Love me, keep me, never leave me,” you say cutely. 

        He chuckles, a short, breathy puff of air, and leans over to you until your noses nearly bump. “I wouldn’t dream of anything else,” he says, his tone lower, which sends shivers down your spine. 

        You give him a quick peck on the lips and make your escape, grinning ear to ear. 

        “What– hey, wait!” Leo laughs out, taking after you, but his path is interrupted by a wild Mikey running past, leaving puddles of water behind as Raph chases furiously after him. 

        “Get back here, you little twerp!” Raph yells. 

        “Somebody help me!” Mikey shrieks. 

        “Raphael, please!” Leatherhead says worriedly, thumping after them both, his tail dragging a long wet streak of water behind him. 

        “Seriously,” Leo says. “You guys are making a mess!”
