In this story the reader is coming out as queer to the turtles. I want this to be as basic as possible so you can put your own sexuality in if you feel like it. 

You had been planning to come out for a while now, but you decided that today was the day. You sent a text in the group chat

Y/N - hey, can you guys come to the living room for me?

Donnie - on my way 

Nardo - sure thing 

Mikey - be there in a sec 

Raph - already here bud 

Once all the turtles were in the living room with you, the anxiety started to set in. You were aware of how the boys reacted to other people coming out, but for some reason, it feels like you coming out might be completely different to them. 

Mikey sits next to you, and Donnie next to him. They always ended up sitting next to each other, which you thought was absolutely adorable. Raph sat on the floor near them, and Nardo sat next to him. 

Your heart began to race. You could hear it in your ears. "How are you guys doing?" you ask. A nervous habit you picked up from Donnie, which he noticed immediately. 

"What's wrong?" Donnie asked, not answering your question. Something about your tone had keyed him into your anxiety. 

The other turtles looked at you with concern. "We're okay, Y/N." Raph said. "What's going on?" 

"I wanted to tell you guys something important." you say, your voice shaky and quiet. "I'm a bit nervous, if you couldn't tell." 

"Are you hurt? What happened? Do you need any medical assistance?" Donnie started to trail off, listing things that could be wrong. 

You let a small laugh escape. "No," you began, "I'm alright, Donnie." You take a deep breath. "I'm queer." 

All of the sounds in the lair seemed to halt the moment the words left your mouth. The silence made your blood run cold. You couldn't help but dig your nails into the palms of your hands, so hard you were drawing blood without even realizing it. You were standing as still as a board. Should you have waited longer to say something? Was this all a big mistake? Should you start packing your shit now? Hot tears ran down your cheeks. You started biting the inside of your mouth.

"Ohmigosh, Y/N" Mikey giggled, "I thought you were mad about something!" He took in a deep breath. 

"We love you for who you are, Y/N" Nardo said, "You don't have to hide things like that from us." He spoke softly.

Raph took a deep breath. "I'm sorry if we made you feel like you couldn't tell us." He said, standing up. He walked over to you and wrapped you in the warmth of his arms. "We support you unconditionally. Never forget that, Y/N." 

Mikey and Leo joined in on the hug. Donnie grabbed one of your hands. "Now that we got all of that out of our way," he spoke flatly, "come with me. We need to get these hands patched up."

As the boys broke away from the hug, you wiped your face on your shirt. "I love you guys." 

"We love you too."
