Frostfall (Leonardo X Female Reader)

Of Rats and Men

"Ugh! I know they claimed. That pizza was gluten free, but I definitely tasted gluten." Irma said as-a-matter-of-factly.

You, April, Casey and Irma had just come back from eating at an italian restaurant where the dark haired female ordered a pizza that she didn't quite enjoy. Casey wasn't a fan of you and Irma coming along with him and April, thinking that you had interrupted their so-called 'date'. Casey suddenly yelped, dropping his bike on the ground after hearing and seeing a rat run past him, followed by a cat that had hissed at it. Irma teased the black haired boy of his fear of rats. April, on the other hand, was focused on the cat and decided to bring it to the turtles. So you three ditched Irma and went to the sewers in Casey's bike. Once arrived, you three went to Donnie lab where Mikey was eating ice cream. April asked if Mikey could take care of the animal and he immediately took her out of the red head's hands and cuddled with her.

"You know, Master Splinter is a rat." Donnie pointed out.

"Yeah, what if that cat goes nuts and attacks him? She could feed off his body for months." Casey added, earning a cringe from the genius turtle.

"You know, there is something seriously wrong with you." He said which made you giggle.

You and April noticed Mikey in the background acting agitated and looked panicked.

"Everything okay Mikey?" The redhead asked.

"Everything's cool. Cool like ice cream. Ice cream's cold." Mikey replied before quickly exiting the lab and heading for the kitchen. You followed him and stopped by Raph who was hitting the dummy hard.

"I would not like to be the dummy right now." You commented, watching the red masked turtle fight.

Raphael smirked before wiping the sweat off his forehead. "Heh. Mercilessly hitting my enemies is my specialty." He said.

"I don't doubt that." You replied, returning the smirk.

"It's not always the best approach to defeating enemies, Raph. Even Master Splinter said that." A familiar voice contradicted. You looked behind you to see Leonardo with his hands on his hips.

Raph groaned. "Whatever, Leo. Let's head to the kitchen, I'm too bored to argue with you."

You and Leo exchanged looks before following the turtle to the kitchen where April, Casey and Donnie were. Mikey was also there however he was focused on what was inside the freezer. What you saw next was disturbing but hilarious at the same time. With his shell facing you, he was hugging himself whilst making licking sounds.

"Mikey." Leo called and the orange masked turtle swiftly slammed the freezer shut, his wide eyes looking at the rest of you as spices fell on his head.

"Uh, I didn't do it! I swear I never touched it, and-" Mikey started but Raph cut him off.

"What are you babbling about?"

Then grunting was heard and you all looked to your left to see Splinter, with a hand on his head and overall looking unwell, slowly walked over to the freezer, saying he wanted ice for his head and a cheesickle. Mikey however protested and stopped him from opening it for some reason. Then, out of nowhere, he screamed and hit Mikey who fell back against the wall. Splinter, with red eyes, hissed and chased after him. Mikey acted fast and parkoured over the table, running around the kitchen whilst Casey was cowering in fear. Splinter however caught up to Mikey and pushed him against the fridge and just as he was about to attack again, the turtle brothers held him against the table. The rat master was too strong as he freed himself from his sons' grasp and stood up, his hands half-way in the air. You and April went to Mikey and helped him up. Mikey hugged your side and you wrapped your arms around him protectively.
