This is pretty much a filler episode I guess?
I gotta warn you about an overstimulation being described, but honestly, I can't estimate how detailed it is.
Enjoy!

Ooh, Leo was going to be questioned so much today, he better prepare himself some excuses and answers.

Soon the Hamatos were out of Big Mama's lair, walking in the direction of 'Run of The Mill Pizza' to settle for a finger-lickingly good breakfast from Hueso, which, of course, is Hawaiian pizza. The walk would have been silent, if it wasn't for the collective curiosity of the turtle siblings + their father within the topic of Leon's relationships with Yuichi. Raphael and Splinter were the first to start bombarding the blue masked turtle with questions full of worry and pure care, such as 'what are you two?', 'how long have you known each other?' and etc. Although Raph was perfectly knowledgeable of the answers to most of the questions, she could not bring herself to stop the unstoppable Splinter from craving answers for his questions, while the latter seemed to be enjoying his blue son's panicked state a bit too much. Looks like someone was being heavily teased.

Mikey was participating in the question tsunami too, the difference in his questions being that they contained the kid's positivity and hopefulness, completely giving out the boy's excitement. For instance, 'did you kiss yet?' or 'when is your wedding?' with an added 'can I bake the cake for you?'. The box turtle was jumping around his older brother, his orange sweater's sleeves, which were wrapped around his waist, bouncing along with themselves, making Splinter stop his ramble for a second to coo at his kid. Parent's will see their children as small adorable creatures that need protection, even if the children in question are in fact full-grown adults, right?

As for Donatello...The purple twin was keeping himself from any questioning, given that Leo's little adorably gut wrenching crush seemed fairly uncomplicated to them, however he still was concerned for their brother, which is why they settled on a decision to question the slider later.

Such a supportively aggressive interrogation was something Leon was expecting, even though he was utterly and completely unprepared for it. Oh, and he was confused, no, conflicted too! It was a huge surprise for him to find out that he was so quick to fall for Yuichi, especially considering how the slider had not shown any interest in improving his romance life status in the last several years. The blue clad ninja was unsuspecting for any romantic line development appearing in his life, especially with his mental health declining steadily before meeting the samurai rabbit. It had only been half a week since the hare and the turtle met, but Leon somehow found himself down bad for that cheeky smile, already. No wonder he was puzzled! The guy didn't have a thought, even remotely close to the topic of his love life, and then he suddenly found himself silently enjoying Yuichi's red eyes squinting sweetly, whenever he smiled, which was an often occurrence for Leo. Their meeting was so random and sudden, and close to overwhelming, considering it didn't have a positive atmosphere at that moment. That did not mean Leo wasn't glad to make a new friend, in fact, he was thrilled with the feelings his insomniac companion gifted to him. The sensations of something as bright, as a crush, were very refreshing for the red-eared slider and took his mind away from the swarm of worries that seemed to be always in the back of his head. He had to admit, the sudden changes from feeling like an empty can of 'monster' to forgetting how to breathe, when Yuichi's nose twitched in a realization of the pun the self-proclaimed comedian slid into their dialog, were quite stressful, overwhelming even.

That seemed enough of a reason to keep on pushing Leo with annoying questions. That is how the Hamatos are, you can't really do anything about it.

-Geez, stop! I'm not telling ya anything! - the slider finally snapped back into reality, realizing he zoned for a long enough amount for the big family to reach Hueso's restaurant.
