Protect You- Leonardo x Reader (TMNT 2012)

chapter 6- unexpected guest

"Aw come on!" Raphael groaned as he clenched his controller in defeat.

"Ha ha! Raph lost again!" The youngest clad turtle laughed as he pointed towards his older brother.

"Shut it Mikey! You didn't win either!" After you got finished meditating, you decided to play video games with the two boys as you promised. The three of you just got done playing a round of Mario Kart, which you had the pleasure of winning. You all had played a total of four rounds, you winning two, Mikey winning two, and Raph winning none.

"Yeah well at least I wasn't last." He mocked, stuffing a whole slice of pizza in his mouth. Raphael growled in anger, placing his controller down as he got ready to pounce on his younger brother.

"THAT'S IT I-" Before he could attack Michelangelo, Leonardo of course stepped in.

"Alright Raph that's enough." Raphael rolled his eyes and scoffed at his brother.

"Why don't you mind your business fearless. We were just messin' around." They had a stare down, both refusing to back down. You felt the air get tense. You awkwardly looked to Mikey, to which he looked unbothered as he reached for another slice of pizza.

'Guess they do this a lot.'  You decided to step in, hoping to defuse this uncomfortable situation.

"Come on Raph. Why don't you stop being a sore loser and see if you could finally get out of last place this round." You taunted teasingly, earning the attention of all three brothers. You tossed the second oldest his forgotten controller as you turned back towards the TV.

"Oh we'll see who ends up in last place." He quickly took a seat on the couch next to you, nudging your shoulder playfully.

"Bring it red." You smirked up at him as he rolled his emerald eyes.

"Aw yeah son! Championship round!" Mikey took a seat in front of you both on the floor, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Whoever wins is the King of Mario Kart."

"Well if that's the case, you both better be prepared to bow down to your queen." You proclaimed with a toothy smile.

"Oh yeah? Well if you're so cocky, how 'bout we make a bet."

"What do you have in mind?" He smirked at you, mischief hiding in his eyes.

"If I win-"

"Which won't happen." You cut in quickly, earning a glare.

"If I win, you have to cook me whatever I want for a week."

"Fine. But if I win, you have to say one nice thing about me and the rest of the guys." Raphael shuddered at the thought. Now he really couldn't lose, everything was at stake.

"Deal." You both shook each other's hand firmly, both of your eyes holding competitive fire.

"What about me?" The mutant in front of the two of you looked up, wanting to be in the bet as well. "What if I win?" You pondered for a moment.

"If you win I'll buy you pizza."

"Deal!" Granted, you already do this for the turtle in the first place and will continue to do this whenever he asked, but he didn't register that yet.

Each of you pressed start on your controllers. The screen changed as all of you chose your individual characters. Mikey chose Toad, Raph of course chose Bowser, and you decided to keep it classic with Yoshi. What? He's adorable.

Once the three of you were ready, you pressed play. You were all lined up behind the finish line, waiting for the race to commence.

Leonardo was intrigued and decided to watch, sitting next to you on your unoccupied side. His shoulder grazed your own slightly as his leg touched yours. You felt your breath hitch at the sudden contact and your heart thump. You two were sitting close. Really close.
