April sends a video to Leo, on her break from her pet store job.
(Y/N) struggles trying to get a ton of kittens off her lap as she shouts at April to help her.
"Look on the bright side (Y/N)!"
"The kittens stay nice and warm and-"
April and Sunita happily scream when one of older cats sat on (Y/N)'s shoulder, licking her face.
Leo paused the video before it ended, with a thought 'if (Y/N) had a superpower: it's too much cuteness' as he held his knees to his plastron turning pink.
Ever since the girls introduced (Y/N) to the guys, all the turtles strive to see (Y/N), to be more positive about her weight.
Leo slowly gained a crush on her when he was the only turtle not to mention her weight. Gradually taking an interest, listening to her talk after starting one of his ice breakers.
However, at the most inconvenient times, Mikey always snatches her away, not even realizing that he's doing it (or what Leo's jealousy thinks it is).
Splinter coined the term Baking Buddies at the two teens, often being the self proclaimed judge for food tasting as his son groans while (Y/N) snickers.
Leo wasn't sure what to do but hates feeling jealous whenever he catches himself, glaring at his youngest brother.
One Saturday afternoon...
Leo couldn't think of any hang out activity with (Y/N), slightly drained of his recent jealous glare. Someone taps his shoulder as he looks over, recognizing (Y/N) waving hello to him.
Leo falls out of his chair only for (Y/N) to catch his hands, saving a more clumsier plunge than his usual ones. He spots the reusable shopping bags as he speaks.
"I thought Mikey was going with you." Leo said as he readjusts himself on the seat.
"There's kind of a brawl with him and his dad."
"His Dr Delicate Touch persona just appeared after I left the kitchen."
"And-"
(Y/N) points to the intense jenga game as Donnie tries to remove the piece from the wobbly tower while Raph watches in horror. The girls crouch staring at the purple turtle hoping he slips up. Leo and (Y/N) sighed in unison at the group.
After Leo changed into a well fitting outfit, the two teens portal to a supermarket (Y/N) is well familiar with as she gets a shopping cart placing the bags inside. Leo follows beside her as they enter the building.
"I don't want to be nosy but,"
"Is there a special occasion with what you're making?" Leo asked.
"I lost a bet to Mikey just before Splinter barged in the kitchen."
"Mikey was definitely ticked off seeing his dad and held a fake smile as the two held a civil conversation." (Y/N) said.
"Any thoughts on what it might be?" Leo asked.
"Either Mikey's fed up with his dad, showing up unannounced."
"Or not explaining the bet in full details." (Y/N) answered.
Halfway getting the ingredients, Leo stopped by the party decorations section wearing a few silly ones making his crush giggle. The giggles continued back at him when (Y/N) said at least four food puns holding the said items in her hands.
At the last ingredient, there were a few employees and all three of them tried to get the item, half a feet above Leo's height without a ladder.
(Y/N) felt shame being that customer. Before she could apologize, Leo immediately lifts her onto one of his shoulders, startling her as it happens.
"L-leo, you don't have to do this-s"
"I might be breaking your-"
"(Y/N), I'm fine."
"And the last thing I want to see, is a girl I love, to feel bad about how"
"Stupid society can't give a break to those not perfect sized..." Leo said compelled to see (Y/N) not self conscious at her own weight.
(Y/N)'s cheeks tint pink going right ahead seizing the last ingredient now in her arms. Just as (Y/N) gently reaches the floor, the heartfelt moment pauses as the three employees cried tears of joy at the teens.
(Y/N) gave a $5 tip each at the three employees' efforts as Leo paid for the groceries, wishing he had the moment just between the two of them (but sighed in relief that his friends and family didn't witness it though).
As (Y/N) carried her half, Leo rapidly checked the lair peeking through a portal and saw nothing but absolute chaos as two teams of three tussle with the place a total mess.
"Hooo boy, can we just head to your place because,"
"The lair is kind of in hot water right now,"
"With two teams of three destroying the lair as I'm speaking..." Leo said with (Y/N) nodding in agreement.
45 minutes later at (Y/N)'s apartment...
(Y/N) finally remembered the bet with Mikey.
"Since Raph lost to April,"
"I was supposed to give you the blueberry cake I made, for my new feelings toward you Leo..."
"However, your dad heard the sound of cake being mentioned so,"
"Things weren't going well for Mikey's matchmaking plans..." (Y/N) said blushing as Leo sweatdrops thinking Mikey had a thing for (Y/N).
"I really thought you had a thing for Mikey..."
"Since you usually hang out with him and the whole Baking Buddies theme..." Leo said a bit embarrassed as (Y/N) widens her eyes.
"I never knew the Leo would be jealous over me!"
"But nice of you to start admitting some of that problematic behavior..." (Y/N) said scooting closer to his side holding his arm with her head resting near his shoulder.
Leo faints ecstatic about (Y/N) dating him as she adjusts her position, putting his head near her lap.
The timer rings after a hour with the blueberry cake fully baked.
(Y/N) kisses his forehead as he wakes up with a flushed face seeing her cute grin.
Bonus:
2 weeks later at night...
Just as Raph passed by Leo's room, he heard what sounded like (Y/N) giggling.
He goes back to scold at his younger brother pulling away the curtain to his room. He saw (Y/N) wearing Leo's blue bandana as a scarf with his striped pajama's top and her shorts underneath sitting on top of Leo. While the lovesick turtle is in a delighted daze, covered with (f/c) kisses on his entire face.
Raph instantly heads out of the room with the curtain leaving behind a quick breeze.
(Y/N) turned around to see no one.
"Was someone behind me?" (Y/N) asked as Leo replied a 'Nerp' still lovestruck at his girlfriend.
(Y/N) shrugs as she kisses Leo on his lips with his eyes turning into hearts. He lets out a joyful sigh as (Y/N) lies down on his plastron, content from the undisturbed cuddle session.
At the next night patrol...
Raph speaks up saying (Y/N)'s a cuddle monster jolting Leo out of a daydream, as he calls out on his oldest brother.
