Blue For You (TMNT Leonardo X Reader)

Chapter 29

Leonardo's POV:

It was early morning, the same time I always woke myself up every day. I rose, rubbing my eyes and standing up, the bed creaking underneath me. My mask hung where the rest of my gear did on the wall, and I began to put it all on. Next came the bed, folding it in a tidy manner, and brushing my teeth after.

I had kept up the same routine for a long time, except for the new part I added as of this summer. Quietly opening the door, I slipped out into the quiet and dark lair, the lights off all except for the one in the kitchen. No one was awake, as per usual. I walked over to what was the guest room, now (Y/N)'s. I always checked up on her, every morning I'd sneak into her room soundlessly and press a kiss to her head. making sure she was okay. I loved to see her first thing in the morning, it reminded me of the good parts of life.

I slowly and silently cracked the door open, creeping in and making my way over. She was sprawled out, one leg underneath the covers and the other out. Her hair was littered across the pillow in orderly fashion, her face neutral and content.

(Y/N) turned to the side. Still asleep, I leaned down, having to bend over to kiss her on the forehead. Our height difference was funny, although I knew she liked it. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear so it wasn't in her face, I left to meditate before she woke up.

Still, I took one last look at her as I shut the door quiet again, smiling in relief. She was adorable.

Sitting down in my usual position in the dojo, I laid out some incense to help me focus and did my routine. My routine being a mix of actually meditating and deep reflection. I often thought about her while I meditated, all though, in general, I thought about her a lot. This wouldn't be the first time I reflected on us.

The time I spent under Shredders control as the chunin of the foot clan I had women swimming at my feet. I remember the foot girls scrambling to be by my side, liking the authority I held over the others. They found themselves attracted but fearing for their lives while I walked around. They were enticed by it, of all things, and wanted me to pick them. They wanted me to stand by their side and protect them, show a soft spot and make them feel special. They knew if they had me, they'd be safe from the Shredder or anyone who tried to harm them there.

I didn't care in the moment, anger replacing most emotions. All they would do is talk about themselves, or rattle off about how good they were, attempting to impress. They would wear revealing dresses and clothes to hope to attract my eye at events, hoping that I'd find the power they thought they had enticing. I wanted to kill them all, in truth; though it was partially the brainwashing conducted over my mind. I had never liked anyone before, and I never expected to. Love was not something ever associated with my name, it still isn't.

Then I met her in Murakami's, after the Purple Dragons came to Murakami's around the same time I did. I could have handled every single one of them with ease. I was planning to, but she came in. Of all things, a beautiful girl my age walked in with the intentions to eat with an old friend, but instead, saw a mutant being attacked by several gang members. You would expect her to run, scream for her life, and act on impulse, but she did the opposite.

She helped a stranger, putting differences inside and recognizing the significance of the situation without fear. She stood up asserting her place against a man who looked to have more over her, and then proceeded to hold her own. She was cunning, and selfless, a rose above all thorns. Inside and out, (Y/N) was stunning, her kindness and smile combined was dangerous.

She is helpful, and considerate as well. Before I was involved with the Foot there were girls that caught my attraction physically, but I set them aside, not finding something in them worthy.
