TMNT imagines..

Leonardo

Thank you Kimberly_m2002 for this request! 💙

Walking through the streets of New York has it's disadvantages, everyone knows this, yet you weren't scared. It wasn't only because of the possibility of being jumped, it was also due to the rumors about mysterious vigilantes running around the city. Just the thought of the "vigilantes" made you snicker to yourself. What a bunch of jokes..

Being Shredders daughter had shaped you into the woman you were today. Not showing fear nor weakness, always keeping your head held high. You weren't stuck up or snobby, you just take your job very seriously. This has caused you to be a very skilled fighter. With all of these things working in your favor who could get in your way? You wouldn't let anyone get in your way. Especially not some mutant turtles.

Quite ironic mentioning the turtles actually.. It's why you were taking this peaceful little stroll through the city. Your father, Oroku Saki, assigned you with the most vital task. Find the turtles, and kill them.

You had nothing against the turtles, you didn't despise them as your father did. You just wanted to make your father proud. If this was going to do that then so be it, the turtles would have to die. It wouldn't truly affect you, how could it? They didn't play any important role in your life, they didn't even know you existed.

Amidst your thoughts you almost hadn't noticed your name being called. You pushed yourself out of your own head and looked to the source. A few of shredders goons had noticed you and began following you.
"What are you three doing?" They looked a bit taken back and struggled for an answer.
"Well your father asked for you to come back" You raised your eyebrow in suspicion. Your father had sent you out here to begin with, he wouldn't want you to come back unless you had something important.
"And why is that?" You asked as you turned your full attention to them.
"Is it important? He asks of your return immediately"
"I refuse to go anywhere with you three unless I have proof" One of them grunted and reached to grab your arm. You backed away from his grip.
"I already told you I'm not going anywhere with you three unless I have some proof" The atmosphere seemed to change around you and you prepared yourself for a fight.

Before actions between anyone could be made a giant figure landed in front of you. After the sudden shock you quickly gathered yourself and noticed something. The giant figure in front of you was NOT human.
"I recommend you leave the kind lady alone before I'm forced to do something you'll regret" The soothing voice warned. The boys quickly took off and ran down the street. The figure turned to face you and your heart leaped from your chest. Not because he was a turtle, nor because he was threatening, he was the most handsome man-er mutant you've ever met before. You were caught off guard, from your fathers rants you expected the turtles to be nothing more than giant ugly creatures that needed to be exterminated. Yet he looked so handsome and kind. Almost giving off this warmness to him.

You could only guess this was the Leonardo that your father always talked about. He has said he was calm, relaxed, skilled and smart. Your father also said he wore this blue mask as well, which this one currently was.

You noticed he had been saying something and forced yourself out of your own head once again.
"I-Im sorry what?" You silently cursed at yourself for stuttering. It sort of irritated you that someone could make you so shy so quickly.
"I asked if you were alright" He asked once again and put his katanas away.
"Oh yeah I'm okay. Thank you" You gave a breathy smile and rubbed your arm nervously. Usually you would have to force yourself to put up an act like this, not so much now.
"Well that's good. I guess I'll be going now" He said. You panicked and quickly searched for something to say. You wouldn't be letting this opportunity slip through your grasp. You finally found your target.
"Wait!" You said and gently grabbed his arm. He turned to you and glanced down to your hand. You retracted your hand and put it in your pocket.

"Sorry, I just wanted to ask for your name" You said. He hesitates for a moment before holding out his hand.
"Leonardo.." You smile and take his hand.
"I'm y/n" You said. He gives a small smile and you return one as well, a genuine one.
"So how can I say thank you to you Leonardo?" He cocks a eyebrow and looks at you confused.
"You just did, and I'm not doing this for the praise. I simply just want to protect people" He said.
"Well I still want to give you a proper thank you" His confused expression soon turned to one of amusement and crossed his arms in anticipation.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked.
"Do you have a phone?" You questioned. He nodded and you perked up a bit.
"Well if I get that number of yours and then maybe I could invite you over and repay you with a meal" You shrugged. A look of surprise washed over his face before he started laughing.
"You wanna treat me to dinner?" He laughed out. You gave him a confused look.
"Yes?" You said. He soon realized you weren't joking and he quickly stopped laughing.
"Oh- yeah I can give you my number" He pulled out his phone. You pulled out your own and you exchanged numbers.

Soon after something on his little shell phone dinged and he quickly put it away.
"I have to go now, I have some business to take care of" He sighed.
"Well get out there" You jokingly punch his arm. He playfully rolls his eyes at your actions.
"I'm looking forward to seeing you again y/n" He said. You smiled and felt a slight blush creep to your s/c cheeks. You thanked the sky above that it was night time.

"I am too" You said.
"Until next time y/n" He winked before jumping off into the night. You smiled to yourself and put your hand on to your chest. Your heart was beating fast and the feeling in your stomach made you question everything that had just happened. You have never felt something like this before. You wouldn't mind feeling this way once again. It was a feeling of warmth and peace that you weren't used to. As you walked back down the streets of New York you couldn't help but wonder, what have I gotten myself into and what the hell am I going to tell my father?
