You wake up on the couch after a long night of hanging out with the turtles and April. Your head pounds as you hear loud chatter coming from the kitchen. You follow the noise to find everyone talking and hanging out over their morning coffee. You give a small wave before taking a seat at the table next to April and Donnie.

You're handed a cup of (f/d) by Leo, which you gulp down gratefully. You feel unusually thirsty today and catch yourself sweating a bit. Your friends notice immediately.

"(Y/n)? You feeling okay?" April asks, raising an eyebrow.

You shake your head and lie it down on the table, shielding your eyes from the bright overhead light that was worsening your headache. Your head is swiftly raised by a robotic arm and a small, cold piece of plastic is placed under your tongue. A small "beep" is heard, and it's removed promptly.

"Yep, 104." Donnie says assuredly. He looks up, noticing his brothers are waiting for him to explain. "They have a fever." Nothing. "They're sick?" He says, annoyed. The other turtles finally understand what he's getting at and freak out.

"OMIGOSH! ARE THEY GONNA BE OKAY?" Mikey exclaims, hugging Leo tightly. Leo hugs him back and adds "YOU CAN CURE THEM, RIGHT?"

Donnie frantically tries to explain that this is something they just have to wait out, to no avail. April tries to calm down Leo and Mikey before they both smother you with questions. Raph, keeping a level head, leans down and politely asks if you want to go rest. You nod and let him pick you up, surprised at how easily he does so.

"You okay?" He says, avoiding eye contact as he carries you out of the kitchen. You reply with a small "mhm" as he continues. "Sorry about all that. Getting sick is kind of a big deal in our house."

"It's alright. I wouldn't mind that much normally, it's just that my head hurts like crazy right now." You mutter, rubbing your temples with your fingers.

"Gotcha. Lights off?" He says, entering his room. You nod as he gently sets you down on the bed. You curl up into his blankets as he leaves. He turns off the light, quickly saying, "Rest up, (Y/n), hope ya feel better soon." before exiting quietly.

Minutes later, you hear a small "(Y/n)?" from the other side of Raph's curtain. You groan in response.

Mikey and Leo walk in, making sure not to make much noise. Mikey gently turns the lamp on and greets you.

"Hey (Y/n)." He says softly, taking a seat on the edge of the bed next to you. "I made you some veggie soup, and Leo made you some honey lemon tea!"

"Aww, you guys did that for me? That's so sweet!" You say, surprised. You gladly take the items and eat/drink them promptly. A few minutes pass in silence.

"So? How're things going with Raph?" Leo starts, almost making you spit out your tea.

"What- what do you mean by that?" You say, flustered.

Leo moves closer, taking an almost sinister tone. His voice is much lower than usual. "I mean you two have obviously gotten closer recently. And I don't mean in a friendly way. I see how he acts around you. If you're trying to date my big bro, go for it, but if you're leading him on just to break his heart I swear to god-" You start to shrink in your seat before Leo is interrupted by Mikey.
