A Dream Come True? ✔️

Drawings & Advice

Mallory's POV:

Leo and I have been getting really close lately closer than ever. I wanna show him my appreciation for being one of my closet friends, besides the girls and being supportive of me.

I decided to make him a drawing since drawing and animating is something I love doing!

I've drawn Leo several times in my sketchbook at home so drawing him won't be too hard.

4 HOURS LATER

I've finally finished the drawing I made of Leo! I really hope he likes it.

I knocked on his door.

"Come in" Leo said.

"Hey Leo! I made you something!" I said.

"OOH! What is it?!" He said excitedly.

I gave him the drawing.

"OH MY GOD! MALLORY YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE AN ARTIST! THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME!!!" Leo yelled and hugged me tightly.

"I'm so glad you like it!!!" I replied smiling

He let go of the hug and kissed me on the lips. WHY IS LEO KISSING ME!? Maybe out of joy? I didn't know he liked me. Why do I kinda like it!? I never really thought about him in that way! IM SO CONFUSED!!!!

He felt me not kissing him back because I was so confused.

"Hey... why aren't you kissing me back..?" he asked, frowning.

"I-I didn't know you liked me and I'm just so confused... I'm sorry Leo." I replied with tears in my eyes.

"Don't cry Mal... It's fine if you don't like me... I was stupid to think you even did." Leo said.

"No Leo... I-I..." I said sighing.

Then I kissed him. I guess I do like him because in that moment I felt so happy and overwhelmed.

"Mal will you be my girlfriend?" Leo asked me.

"Yes!" I replied without hesitation and he continued to kiss me.

Raph's POV:

"I'm starting to like Gracey a lot. We always hang out in my room and talk and I feel like I can tell her anything. She's perfect. I wanna ask her out but I don't want to ruin our friendship. And why would she even like a mutant like me?" I wrote in my diary.

I heard someone knock on my door. I threw my diary under my pillow. "Come in." I grumbled.

Leo came in. "Hey Raph, can I ask you something?" He asked.

"NO LEO GO AWAY! GO ASK MIKEY!" I snapped.

"Dang okay." Leo said as he slammed the door.

I realized what I had done. I don't mean to do things like this. I do it because deep down I'm actually hurting inside and I use my anger so I don't get close to people. I love my brothers so much. I'm such a horrible turtle!

I opened my door and ran after Leo.

"Leo I'm sorry." I said, grabbing his shoulder.

"Why? for snapping at me for no reason!? I had something important to talk to you about!" He shouted.

"Leo i'm sorry I didn't mean that can you please come back? What did you want?" I said as a tear ran down my face.

"It's okay Raph..." He said hugging me. "What's going on? I've never seen you like this." Leo said as we walked into my room.

"Nothing Leo i'm fine." I answered, wiping the tears from my eyes. "So what did you need to ask me?" I asked.

"So I'm dating Mallory now... and I need to know what to do on our first date." He said.

"I'm not being rude this time but you know I've never really had a girl friend right? Mikey just took Taylor on a date." I said.

"I know but I wanted to ask you." Leo said.

I was flattered by my brother's decision.

"Well you could take her out for ice cream or something... I don't know..." I grumbled.

"That's actually a great idea! Thank you Raph!" He said, hugging me.

"you're welcome!" I said with a smile.

"So you sure nothing's wrong?" He asked.

"No... I like Gracey and I don't know if she likes me! I'm so frustrated and overwhelmed. I THINK I'M IN LOVE LEO!" I replied.

"Oh wow! I think you should just ask her out! Take a chance! You can do it! I believe in you Raph." Leo said.

"Thank you so much Leo." I replied.
