Oh, well in dat case.. Uhhh...May I please request a RotTMNT Leo x Artist! Reader? The reader has a hobby for sketching and she secretly has several references and illustrations of Leo posted on the wall of her art room (separate from her bedroom) because she's heard from Leo about that time in the Minotaur Maze and how he wanted to have his photo/face on a wall as a champion or winner. The reader has been secretly planning to show this to Leo for sometime but she's missing some supplies for the center piece drawing-- so the story basically starts off with her going out of an art supplies store. Then she's intercepted by the Foot Lieutenant and Brute trying to rob the store and its buyers all the papers and arts supllies there. Unfortunately, the Foot also take her bag which has her other sketchbook n paper stuff with mostly the turtles and Leo drawings. The reader gets mad and tries to get it back but instead gets picked on by the foot and is thrown off a far distance (rooftop/alley) only to phase through a portal and land safely on the ground bcuz the turtles have arrived. Cue fights n stuff, then they gather all the papers the Foot left behind. Leo spots an opeded bag and realizes its the reader's with her sketchbook sprawled out. Reader sees this, gets mad, runs away back home w/o her stuff. Leo visits and asks n stuff why reader is upset, then they make up and eventually reader shows him the art room that Leo has never noticed before. They enter, reader shows the wall of Leo drawings with a header of "CHAMPION" on the highest part of the wall. Leo happi shock, reader shy, Leo appreciates n stuff, Fluff. The end... HehehehTbh this is a quite long n detailed request, so I won't be rushing you to finish in a few days or a week. Take your time to do so if you're not busy~ If the request is kinda off, then I'm sorry hehehe.

My second request to make!! Again if there any of you guys have an idea for a story with any of Ben's characters (or just Ben in general) don't hesitate and comment it down below or PM your requests!!

I hope you like it!!
Please enjoy! xxx ✨💕

"Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, needless to say..." you sang softly, humming afterwards while spray-painting some broad strokes of hot pink on your wall, with your latest art piece of Leo on graffiti inside your art room. "Nevertheless callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck, crash at my place baby your a wreck." This was one being something you've been working on for a few weeks now, that including some sketches and paintings in your notebooks, and secret digital art on your laptop. It started when you overheard your blue turtle friend wanting an artwork of him on a wall in the Minotaur Maze. And you being The softest person ever, decided to make and show them once you were done. You were so lost in singing that you were unaware of your parents calling you. "Ooh, ooh, ooh, some things you just can't refuse, she wanna drive me—"

"Y/N!!" that making you drop the spray-paint can in alarm with a loud clanking sound heard as it made contact with the floor.

"YEAH!" You yelled, and cleared your throat from shouting and lower the music "Yeah?"

"Did you get groceries yet?"

Your eyes widen, cringing in realisation that you forgot to get them. Glancing at the clock to see it was 5:30 in the afternoon, then at your art piece on the wall. Also remembering how you were low on some spray paint to complete your work, and with shrug you reply "Not yet, I'm about to leave in a minute!"

Quickly, changing into a simple (Favorite Color) hoodie, some shorts/jeans, with black sneakers to complete the look. And grab your wallet, phone, and backpack, greeting your parents goodbye as you head down and through the busy streets of New York...

————————————————

You leave the grocery store with a huff of breath in exhaustion, and drop them off at home. And leave once more to grab the missing art supplies you needed to complete your drawing.

Luckily, it didn't take long like your time in the supermarket, since you knew what you needed to find. Smiling as you walked to the cashier and got in line, going through your phone to wait patiently. Suddenly the doors burst open with a bang, your eyes widen in alarm, people shouting and screaming in fright. Then you looked to see it was the Foot Lieutenant and his Brute that the turtles and April were talking about.

"Hand over all of your money and bags, and harm won't come your way..." the lieutenant ordered in a warning tone in the end.

The Brute got over to the cashier, where the female worker was shaking and gave him the all money. With some customers handing their both their shopping and personal bag. While, you quietly and in a fast pace stuff your art supplies in your backpack, sneaking to the back of the store and text Leo "Help. Foot Lieutenant and his Brute are robbing the Art Store on 23rd." cautiously glancing to check if the Foot duo would see you.

Once your thumb hit send, your eyes found a sledgehammer in the tools section. You ran to the other end of the hall to grab the tool to defend yourself with, but—

"Well, look what we have here!!"

You were lifted from the ground by the hood of your jacket, with the Brute smirking at you. As he took your backpack from you and opened it and going through all the items in it. Making your stomach boil, "H-hey wait! That's my stuff!" You growled and tried getting out of his grip.

You struggled and watched as he got your wallet and fiddled with some of your things. Which you made your anger worse, then your eyes widen in seeing him finding your notebook and you weren't having it. As your hands grab onto his arm lifting you up, as you bit his finger in disgust, earning a girly scream escaping his lips. As his fingers released your hood, making him drop both your form and sketchpad landing onto the ground with a thud.

And ran to where the sledgehammer was and picked it up right when he was about to grab you, swinging it into his face, sending him backward and knocking a shelve or paint over him. Giving you enough time as you gathered all your things into your backpack, as the lieutenant went to his partner in alarm. As he turned around to see your form, causing chills to go down your spine. You didn't waste any time and ran towards the entrance, only to be stopped by something tripping your feet and looked up to see an origami ninja that got a hold your leg and another came in and held your arms behind your back and got your bag. As you got up and pulled by the paper ninjas, and over to the lieutenant and Brute, who was scowling at you from the pain you gave him.

"Smart. But not smart enough..." the lieutenant says. As his partner, towered over you and grins evilly.

"Nice try, now your going to pay!!!"

The Brute grabs you by the hood again and swings his arm around, letting you go as you flew to the other side of the store and towards the tile wall. Squeezing your eyes shut as the wind went through your ears and hair...

Before your back met the harsh impact of the wall, a portal appeared and you landed in an alleyway across the street from the art store. Thankfully, the landing wasn't rough as you anticipated, slowly sitting up to look down and find an old mattress under your form and see that Leo and his brothers have arrived and are fighting the Foot inside the store.

Then remembering how you left your backpack, with the sketch pad that contained all the drawings Leo you worked on and paint in your art room. And you wanted to help. You didn't wait, got up and ran to the store and saw Donnie and Raph fighting the Brute, then your eyes find Mikey trying to fight the origami ninjas. And finally, Leo with the lieutenant as you heard witty jokes and banter coming your turtle friend. That did make you laugh "Are you mad at me?! Because I feel like your mad at me...?" he exclaimed dodging some of the origami ninjas the lieutenant made, slicing a few with his katanas.

You spot the sledgehammer you used earlier, and went over to help Mikey out. Swinging it to squish the living light out of those things, the orange banded turtle's eyes widen "Thanks, Y/N!" He panted with a grin. You nod with a smile "No problem, Mikey..."

Then, he went over to help Raph and Donnie with Brute. You glanced over to check up on Leo, to see he was knocked down with the lieutenant hovering over him, and you quickly ran to where they were silently. Gripping onto the hammer in your hands tightly, slowly sneaking up behind the Foot Lieutenant as he did the cliche villain monologue. And while he was caught up in it all, you wasted no time and swung that sledgehammer behind his head with a loud clang.

"Man, they never know when to stop, huh?" You huffed while dropping the sledgehammer, as Leo stared at you in awe. Then you held your hand out for him to take, you notice how he isn't speaking "You alright, blue?"

He shook his head and got back into reality, glancing up at you and nods "Y-yeah, thanks Y/N..." He says as his hand holding onto yours, and you pulled him up. "Don't mention it."

Afterwards, the brothers tie the Foot Lieutenant and Brute together and send them back to their warehouse. As Leo opens a portal and you and Mikey push them through as they landed in their building, you two high-five and began to fix the place a bit before the cops arrive.

And while you were helping Donnie with organising the items, the blue turtle's eyes catch your bag on the floor, picks it up to give it quick clean, only to find a sketchpad and a small shot of a drawing inside. His thoughts battling on whether or not he should check it out or back down...

Then his curiosity got the best of him as he takes the notebook out and opens it to find drawings of him, his eyes flying open in surprise. Leo continues going through the pages to find them filled with more sketches of himself, he amazed at all the details and you had in capturing his appearance—

"Leo! What are you doing with that?!"

He felt the notepad in his hands being snatched away from his hands, and gets out of his thoughts to see you in front of him. Upset as you gripped onto the sketchpad tightly, cheeks red in anger (and embarrassment) he just looked at you in shock and guilt "What were you thinking, blue?!"

"Y-Y/N, I didn't mea—"

You groan "Oh, save it!" running your hand through your hair and sigh, grabbing your bag and stuffing the pad inside angrily "I-i gotta go, my parents are probably looking for me..." swinging the backpack on and waving his brothers goodbye, who were confused and worried about the sudden change in your attitude, especially seeing how you didn't greet Leo. Who just stood there and watched you leave, feeling shame and confusion within him at what just happened.

————————————————

A few days have passed since the robbery incident happened, and you've been ignoring all of the messages and texts from Leo. After his discovery on all the drawings you've made of him he saw in your sketchpad, you were

You silently lay in bed with your earphones on, listening to music when a light knock came from your window. The curtain covering it as a shadow was cast over it and you knew who it was. "Oh no..." you muttered, now sitting up on your bed.

"Y/N, it's me Leo... I know your there, I just wanna talk, can you please open up?"

You sat there in hesitation, not wanting to talk to him either way or let him in. But a part of you told you to try and work things out, eventually the inner softie in you came out as you walked over to the window and move the curtains out of the way, to see him there as you slowly lift the window open. Letting your turtle friend in, you mostly had your eyes down from not wanting to look at him while you both talked.

You then close it and walked back to where your bed was and sat down, still avoiding eye contact with him. Fiddling with your fingers awkwardly. "So..."

"So?" He repeats and walks around your room. "You wanna explain why you've been avoiding me after what happened at the art store?"

A soft sigh left you, knowing you couldn't lie to Leo. "I-i just... I..."

"You what? Are you mad at me or something?—"

Your eyes widen "N-no Leo, I'm not angry at you!! I just... I-i was..."

"What did you have a drawing of your crush in there—" this made you scoff in response, despite how it was a little true "No!"

"Were you ashamed of those drawings you made of me, because I'm a mutant?—"

You groan "What the—No!!"

"Then what?!"

Hearing his voice raise was something you didn't expect, flinching a bit in shock and fear. "I-i'm sorry, blue... I—" you held back a few tears from leaving and taking a few deep breathes to compose yourself. Leo felt his eyes soften in seeing you cry and had a frown on his face "N-no, N/N..." he sighs "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that. And for going through your sketchpad without asking, I feel like such an idiot for doing that. It's my fault."

You quickly wipe the tears that were about fall down your cheeks, and turn to your turtle friend "No, Leo. It's also kind of my fault too in going out on you at the store that way, I overreacted... I was just embarrassed in having you seeing those drawings I made, since, it would be weird considering we're best friends and all."

"Wait... Are you saying that you have a crush on me?" Leo's eyebrow raises in surprise.

You stayed silent once he said it, unsure on what to say next. Staring down at the floor anxiously "I-i... Yes, I do like you Leo... More than friends." and there was silence between the two of you. You lowering your head down in shame and eyes closed.

"I like you too, N/N."

This got your eyes opening in shock "And you know, you were kinda hot when you knocked the lieutenant out for me, that's why I couldn't keep my eyes off you." Leo smirked playfully with a wink.

"Oh shut up..." you blushed while rolling your eyes back. Punching his shoulder playfully and then turned to face him "Come with me, there's something I need to show you."

You lead the blue turtle to your art room, thankfully your parents weren't home yet. With a deep inhale to prepare for his reaction, your hand on the knob as your turn it with a click and gently push the door open and switch the lights on.

Glancing back to see Leo walk in and his eyes widen at the walls that were covered in illustrations of him. Even spotting some paintings and a sketchpad on the side that had an unfinished drawing, one piece catching his eye and walks towards it with the tag line: "CHAMPION" just like how we pictured during his time at the Minotaur Maze. His hand stretched out as his green fingers made contact with the wall, touching a bit of the painting. His back (or shell) facing you "Did you... Did you paint this?"

"D-do you like it?" You slowly walked closer to him, with an anxious yet proud feeling in your chest.

He stares at you in disbelief "Are you kidding me? This is amazing! No wait scratch that—these are awesome!!!" Seeing the joy beam from his eyes, an amazed grin on his face that brought one onto yours. Laughing softly out of relief at how much Leo liked them. "Glad you like it, blue."

"I only have one question—why did you make these for me?" The turtle asks turning to face you in confusion, almost like he wasn't worthy in having this big piece of him in your art room.

You glance at ground in slight embarrassment, chuckling nervously "Well, I kinda overheard about that time where you wanted to have a photo of yourself on a wall in the Minotaur Maze as a champion or winner. So, I decided make these and show you someday, being a lil' something to make your dreams come true and say thank you for being a good friend..."

Leo stares at you in awe, before a grin went over his face. "Thanks, Y/N... T-this means a lot."

You slowly walk over to the blue turtle, face to face, leaning towards his cheek and place a gentle peck on there. You pull away with a red hue across your cheeks and smile, giggling at seeing the shock on Leo's dumbfounded face. Which switches to a cheeky smirk on his face "Did you just kiss me?"

You shake your head with a grin on your face "On the cheek..."

"It still counts though, N/N. You kissed me... You like me~" The blue turtle continued with a teasing tone, this making you laugh. "Yeah, yeah, sure Leo..."

"Oh come on!! You know you love me~"

"Do I know that? Yes, yes I do..."
