Summary
It's easy to think Donatello doesn't care.
Well... that's not true. You've seen him unveil his latest and greatest inventions- he cares so much it's impressive.
But it is easy to think he's extremely (impressively) neutral on you.
It's a kind of intense neutral that you haven't seen anywhere else.
He's polite. Or his version of polite, anyway. It's not like he avoids you, he just is neutral in a way that somehow pulls on your attention.
You can't explain how or why.

Reader's at the Lair to help Mikey cook. Mikey's taking a while. Donnie asks Reader for help in the lab. -

“You’re starin’,” Raphael muttered behind him.
Donatello tried to come up with an eloquent response.
“What the fuck?” He managed, voice an awe-filled whisper. He blinked rapidly, spinning his desk chair away from you and meeting his brother’s eyes, motioning back over his shoulder in an are you seeing this. “What…. the fuck.”
Raph chuckled, patting him on the shoulder, just shy of patronizing. Donnie couldn’t bring himself to care. “Good luck, genius.” Then, he walked past Donnie and away from the computers, calling your name. “What’s got you all dressed up?”

Summary
See, here's the thing.
You are extremely, incredibly kissable.
He knows this. He knows this like he knows his swords are sharp. He knows it in his bones.
He also knows you have somewhere to be.
(Really, his motives were good. He came over just to help you finish wrapping your friend's birthday gifts (okay, and give you shit for only now getting around to it). He just wanted to be a supportive boyfriend and make sure you had time to get ready in peace.)
And yet, because he's either an idiot or an asshole, here he is, boxing you in at your table and kissing you.

Reader needs help wrapping gifts at the last second before a party. Leo's their hero. And a huge distraction. -

Summary
He loves this.
Not- not whatever your head's doing, with the grim skies and that far away look you get every now and again and the fact that your sleep's shit and- well, not that.
The way you're laying on his floor.

Summary
"Woah, Red," You said as he abruptly pulled back from your space, crossing his forearms one in front of the other. Your hand found his one closest to you, where it rested on your table, and gave it a gentle squeeze. "You OK?"
"Yeah. Yeah, o'course," He muttered, voice low and gravelly and doing nothing to disguise his nerves. His eyes- bright, stunning, dangerous green- were wide and shadowed by a knit brow as he quickly wet his lips with his tongue. "Just- are you- you're sure about this?"

Raphael isn't as confident as he'd like to be.

Summary
He leans back into the couch cushions, glancing at your sketchbook. “...Can I watch you draw?”
“Yeah, ‘course.”
As you draw, you can feel Leo inching closer and closer to you, to the point where your heads are bumping. You don't mind, really, but you can feel your face get warm and it breaks your concentration a little.
Okay, so maybe you do mind. Just a little.
-OR-
just a cute fic about you n leo being cute (and cuddling. this is very important.)

Summary
No roommates. No noisy neighbors. No work tomorrow, so you could sleep in as long as you wanted.
It was a good fucking night.
And then you hear a wet thump in an alleyway right as you walk by, and everything just goes to absolute hell.
-
Or, you find yourself a stranger bleeding out in an alleyway. Things...escalate from there.
(Title from I'm Into Something Good - the bird and the bee)
