The reader is a very cheerful person in the city of New York, but lately, you have become less cheerful, as you have a crush on a certain orange clad turtle who you are almost certain doesn't share the same feelings for you. However, he comes over for a surprise visit. And that surprise visit may not be the only surprise you're getting...
(Ok that description sounded much cooler in my head—)

Mikey X Cheerful Artist Reader

You sighed as you dragged yourself through the kitchen, your pencil being held on/behind your ear as you held your sketchbook in your arms, your art supply in the brown bag on your back.

Suddenly, someone tapped your shoulder, making you look up at them. You see your mother was the one who tapped your shoulder as she stood beside your father, concerned looks on their faces.

"Hun, are you alright?" she asked, "You haven't been acting like your usual self lately. Is there something wrong?"

You sighed. She was right; Usually, you'd come in, skipping and humming a little melody with a smile on your face. You were known in your school for being one of the most cheerful and happy students, but when you started acting all mopey, the school felt a lot more dull.

You shook your head, forcing a smile on your face as you said, "No, mom, nothing's wrong! Don't worry! I just haven't been feeling the best- Y'know, just been losing motivation to draw. I'll get back on my feet soon!"

Your mother sighed, not exactly buying the story, but knowing she couldn't get any more out of you. "Alright... If you need anything, you can always talk to us."

You nodded, and started walking back to your room. You mentally sighed, muttering to yourself, "Like you could understand... At least you know dad loves you..."

You plopped on your bed, your face in your pillow as you threw your art supply on the floor. You've had a crush on Mikey for quite a while, and have been dropping multiple hints, but after hearing him talk about having a crush on someone with Leo, that was enough to encourage you that he didn't share those feelings. Since then, you haven't been the usual cheery person you always were.

While you were lost in thought, you heard a knock on your window. You looked out the window, slightly glaring, until you saw who was there.

"Mikey...?" you questioned, sitting up as you looked out. There he was, his own bag of art supply on his shell as he looked in through your window. He waved at you as you walked over and opened the window.

"I wasn't expecting you," you said in a slightly surprised tone. "I know! That's why it's called a surprise visit!" he said, climbing in.

He sat down on the edge of your bed, "Soo... I've been noticing you've been down in the dumps lately." "Yeah... I've been noticing that, too," you said, picking up your sketch book and placing it on your lap as you flipped to a certain page.

"Well... Wanna talk about it?" he asked as he, slightly rocking back and forth.

You shook your head, but then hesitated. "Well... I guess..." you said, "I... I like this guy as... more than a friend... but I know he doesn't like me back."

"Hm... Has he told you that?" the turtle in orange questioned.

You shook your head as you spoke, "No, but I've heard him talking about a crush to one of his brothers."

Mikey hummed as he nodded, his finger on his chin. "Well, don't worry about it," he said, "If he doesn't share the same feelings for you, you'll move on! Just look at me! I've had feelings for you for a long time, and I'm certain to don't like me back! Now, I still haven't gotten over it, but it takes time!"

You paused. "You.... like me?" you asked, blinked a few times. Mikey stopped and rethought over what he just said.

Shoot.

"Uhm..." he rubbed his arm as his face was a bit pink, "Y-Yeah... I uhm... I do..." He looked back at you to see a large smile on your face.

~^~

"Honestly, I don't know what—" Your father was interrupted as he heard a high-pitched squeal from your room. He and your mother quickly rushed upstairs and turned the door knob, which was conveniently locked.

"(Y/N)! Is everything alright in there?" your father asked, gently knocking on your door.

"Yeah, everything's fine, dad!" you said from behind the door, "My, uh, friend sent me a text and, uh, invited me to something, and I just got really excited!"

Your mother took a breathe of relief, and a bit from gladness as she heard you were slowly growing out of your mopey state. "Alright! Tell us if you need anything, okay?" she said. Once you said ok, your mother and father went back downstairs.

~^~

The next day of school, everyone was both shocked and glad to see you back to your cheery self. It was like the school began to light up again!

As you skipped through the sewers and towards the lair, April came to your side. "So, what's gotten you so excited?" she questioned, making you giggle.

"Oh, nothing, nothing, just... just someone who feels the same way I do."

April was confused, but didn't have enough time to question you further as you ran ahead. "Mikey!" you exclaimed, running into the arms of the orange clad turtle.

"(Y/N)!" he exclaimed, spinning you around.

April walked over next to Mikey's older brothers, "D'you know what's gotten (Y/N) so excited lately?"

"I'm actually unsure," Donnie spoke, "Just yesterday, they were practically dragging themselves around everywhere, and now, they're the polar opposite!"

"I'm pretty sure I know," Leo said, his sword over his shoulder as he had a wide grin on his face.

"Leo. What did you do?" Raph questioned, a suspicious look on his face. "What? I didn't do anything!" Leo defensively said, a hand on his chest.

When Donnie, Raph, and April looked back at the two of you, they were shocked to see Mikey kiss your cheek and hug you as if there was no tomorrow.

"...Leo?"

"Yeah?"

"Whatever you did, it was probably the only smart thing you've ever done."

"Why thank— Wait...Wha- Hey!"
