Mikeys POV:
I laughed and collected the papers. I don't have enough room to put all of them in a bag but a few, to tease her with... and black mail. I checked her bag to make sure I had everything I thought a human girl would need. Her phone charger, computer plus it's charger, newly found Leo hoodie, some of her drawings, a sketchbook and pencil (sense I now knew she like to draw and was really good at it), tooth brush, headphones, brush, and some pads.
I learned some things from April and Donnie. I wasn't an idiot, I know girls have periods every month-poor things.
"Alright, I think that's it. I still have some room so what else could I put in here?' I asked myself.
I looked over to the bed and saw a stuffed animal. "Might as well." I shrugged my shoulders.
I went to pick it up and.
It moved.
"AH OMG ITS ALIVE! THE PLUSH IS ALIVE!" I screamed taking a leap back.
It turned towards me, it was a horrifying, long creepy-
"Meow..."
.
.
.
"Did you just?" I asked myself.
The plush walked closer. It was a cat!
"Heh. I knew that." I laughed crouching down to pet it. It was a black cat, it was medium sized. Not an adult but not a kitten. It had bright blue eyes and a blue collar.
It rubbed it's face on my finger. "Awww, I can't just leave you here..."
I looked around. I saw cat bowl and some food.
I smiled, "so I won't."
I picked up the food bowl and scooped it full of cat kibble. I put a lid on it and slid it into the bag. "Don't worry, uncle Mikey will take you to momma and give you all the pizza you could ask for!" I reassured as I picked up the cat. "Just don't tell ice cream kitty. She'll get jealous." I whispered.
I went onto the fire escape holding the cat like a baby, "hold on tight!"
I lept across roofs in the shadows. I looked at my T-phone for the nearest sewer, the cat was still clinging onto my chest, luckily I had a hard plastron so it didn't hurt.
The T-phone said the nearest manhole cover was in half a mile.
"Okay, ready little buddy?" I asked the kitty.
It clung on in response.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked into the entrance of the lair. "Oh I'm sure Y/N is gonna be so happy to see you! And all her other stuff!" I talked to the black cat"
I walked into the living room to see no one. I was only gone for 45 minutes, no way Y/N already went to bed.
Now that I think of it... she doesn't even have a room? Where would she sleep? I asked myself. I walked around with her stuff and the kitty.
"Y/n?" I called, "Mabye she fell asleep in my room? I'm the one she's closest too.?" I assumed.
Checked my room.
Nothing
"Okay.... where else could she..." I then noticed a door open, light was coming from it. It was Leos room?
"Leo is never up this late? Why is his lights on?" I asked. I peaked inside. I didn't think I would see what I saw.
Y/n... and Leo..
They were both sleeping in his bed, y/n had an arm around him and he had one around her. Like they were hugging in their sleep? They didn't have any type of blanket on them so..like the good little brother I grabbed a white one from the edge of Leos bed and laid it on top of them.
I admired them for a bit after taking a step back.
I smiled then realized the situation.
"Omg..."
I took out my T-phone a took a picture.
"So showing this to their kids!" I giggled. I walked out and looked at the cat who was waiting by me the whole time.
"Welp. Guess it's just you and me buddy."
Your POV:
After a while Of Donnie stabbing me with needles checking my DNA and putting this weird head thing on he came back with a sheet of paper.
"Okay, so. Good news and bad news." He said.
"What's the good news?" I asked.
"Well, everything inside you is okay so what ever just happened doesn't have an affect on your body, not right now anyway." Donnie replied.
"What do you mean not right now?" I asked again,
Donnie sat down and looked back at the papers.
"Well, the bed news is I don't know what's causing it. So for all we know the only reason it didn't hurt you is because you didn't use what ever that was for long."
"Oh...Newell thats good it didn't hurt me." I laughed.
"Yea it is, but is there anything that's been happening?" Donnie asked, "something out the ordinary? Maybe you've been getting head aches?"
I thought for a moment then I remembered. The voice. I said my name before I fell. Come to think of it, its been saying things. But... I don't want to sound crazy. Like 'oh! Just this creepy voice inside my head that's been saying my name for weeks. Nothing much!'
I wasn't going to sound crazy. What ever it was I would deal with on my own.
"Nope. Not that I know of." I lied.
"Hm, okay. Mabye i can look into your samples more. I'll update you if anything else happens. I would drink some tea and head to bed. It's already pretty late." Donnie advised.
"Okay," I started, wait... "Donnie I don't have a room."
"Oh." Donnie paused, "you can sleep on the couch tonight, not to sound weird or anything. We'll get your room figured out tomorrow." Donnie smiled.
"Okay, I'll get some sleep. Where's the tea by the way?" I asked.
"Oh, there's some chamomile tea in the cabinet above the stove." Donnie answered.
"K." I started to walk out, "and thank you D."
"Anytime Y/N!"
"Oh... and. Don't give up on Apirl. Trust me." I winked,
"What?!" Donnie gasped.
I walked into the empty kitchen. I looked around. Mikey wasn't in the TV area. He probably went to bed, probably.
I walked over to the counter and reached up for the tea, I filled up the tea pot and put it on heat. I grabbed a brown-green mug and waited. I sat up on the counter, I remembered when I first came here.
How scared and traumatized I was. And how everything was okay the moment I looked at Leos gorgeous blue bell eyes.
When I ran out of here frightened and Leo caught me. When I would beat Mikey in almost every video game as he would complain. When me and Mikey would tick Raph off, and when I would tease Apirl and Donnie about each other. But my favorite memory,
I was in my apartment studying for some big test and I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up to New York City sounds I found myself on my bed, I had a blanket pulled over me with a note in neat handwriting saying. "Don't stress yourself out too much with tests, your always welcome to meditate with me if you need to. -Leonardo"
I remember being so happy, just knowing he came by and checked on me. Knowing he cared about me. Even if I wasn't Karai, even if he would never think of me more than friends. It made me happy knowing he cared Mabye as much as I cared for him..
I didn't realize how zoned out I was till my eyes focused and I saw Leo walking into the kitchen. His gaze was at the floor and he looked tired.
"Oh, hey Leo is everything alright?" I asked.
I looked up surprised and quickly whipped his eyes and plastered a smile on his face.
"Yep! Just came to get water." He announced heading to the sink.
I got off the counter that I was sitting on. His back was facing towards me as he filled up a cup. His posture was off and his breathing was weird, it was shaky though he tried to stop it. He wasn't okay.
I grabbed his arm and forced him to meet me face to face, to look me in the eye and I could tell his eyes didn't have that shine they always do.
"Leo...what's wrong." I softened my grip as I saw tears build up. It broke my heart.
"Do you wanna talk about it somewhere else?" I asked and he nodded.
I turned off the heat on the stove as I lead him to his room and sat down on his bed, him not too far behind.
He sat down and looked at the ground, he was fighting tears and I could tell.
"Leo..."
He sniffed and wiped away his tears, he took a long breath and held himself. He was being so vulnerable, he doesn't usually. It's kinda nice in a way seeing Leo in his rawest form.
I looked down, "it's about Karai?" I asked.
He nodded.
I sighed, "I know you think it is but it wasn't your fult."
Leo finally looked at me, "you don't know that. You weren't there. The way she looked at me. She was depending on me to save her. I know she's still out there, and I can't do anything." Leo admitted as he started to cry.
He was still holding something back.
"That's not it. Is it.?" I asked.
Leos eyes widened before softening into closed and he breathed in and out, "no... it's not..."
"Tell me then."
"Now that I know shredders looking for you... we've seen it. He will do anything to get what he wants. So if he wants you. Hell do anything to get you and-" Leos voice started to crack and shutter. "What if something happens? What if he gets you and I can't do anything?! Everyone will be counting on me and I know I can't take him! I'll loose you! I've already lost so damn much! So what happens if I screw it up and your fucking gone!?!" Leo yelled as the tears he tried so hard to hold back flowed out of his eyes.
Leos POV:
I didn't notice I was yelling, I guess it just... happened. I needed to get it all out and I'm glad it was y/n.
I finally looked over to her once I opened my eyes. She had let go of my arm and her arms were close to her, her eyes were sad and she was crying.
I gasped and wiped my eyes, "y/n I'm sorry I didn't-"
Y/n cut me off by hugging me.
I was caught off guard and my arms staying by my sides. I looked down at her h/c hair. "Y/n..? Are you.."
"I'm not going anywhere.I promise."
I widened my eyes in shock and lowered them into a shut as I held her back.
I rested my head on her shoulder and she rested hers on mine.
"Y/n..."
"Hm?"
"Thank you."
She held onto me tighter like I would let go, I held on just as tight to show her I wouldn't.
We stayed like that for a long time. Just embracing each other as all the emotions I build up spilled out.
Im so glad Y/n is here. She's so... perfect.
I smiled.
She was always there, she has such a big heart and always knows just what to say to everyone.
I wonder what I did to deserve a friend like her.
.
.
.
"Friend."
"Friend..."
Why didn't that feel right?
My thoughts were interpreted when I felt her grip loosen but she didn't separate from my body.
"Y/n?" I asked.
No answer.
Did she..?
I lifted her head a little to see her closed eyes and a sleeping face.
I smiled even bigger.
Awe.. cute,
I laid her head back onto my chest where it was.
"Maybe.. we can stay like this.. it's kinda nice."
I held onto her tighter, melting into her body's warmth, her breathings warmth, her warmth.
I slowly laid down carful to not wake her up and closed my eyes.
I didn't care about anything else in that moment. Not even Karai.
Just her
