TMNT Boyfriend Scenarios

Unspoken Thoughts: Leonardo

(Y/N)'s POV

Leo has been acting strange lately. When it seems like he's getting closer to me, he shuts down. He pushes himself away and grows distant. It's been going on for a few days now, and at first I didn't notice until it started bothering me. It was weird, but that wasn't why it was bothering me so much.

Lately, I have been feeling different around him. I can't really explain it, but it's almost like time stops every time he's around but also speeds up. And I could never really stop smiling when he was around. I was happier, especially whenever he comes to visit. I was so comfortable with him that I was open to having these deep conversations with him that I never had with anyone else before. And being able to grow this strong emotionally intimate bond with someone in such a short time seemed bizarre. When I talked to him, he made me feel like I could say absolutely anything on my mind without fear or judgement, which was something I lacked with other platonic relationships.

But something in addition to all this did concern me. I've been thinking about him quite often actually. When I'm doing absolutely anything, it always somehow reminded me of Leo. Washing dishes reminded me of the nights where I would make him dinner or tea, news on criminals caught reminded me of his hero antics, and obviously my own job reminded me of him the most. He was everywhere, and I didn't know how to feel about it.

Oh, God. Was I catching feelings for him?! No, that would be crazy. He's a giant turtle for Christ's sake! But he did have humanlike mannerisms, and personality has always trumped looks for me- Wait! What am I saying?!

I groaned in frustration as my thoughts ran wild, flopping down on my couch.

This was ridiculous. I've caught feelings for Leonardo. It was so obvious! Of course, this was something I'd never bring up with him. It would only scare him away. It was obvious he probably didn't want anything like that anyways. Like I said before, he was consistently pushing himself away from me when he probably felt he was getting too close. It was understandable, I guess. Our current relationship wasn't meant to exist. Our meeting was only an accident not fate.

When he realizes that he's risking his family's safety, he'll go. I know how much he cares for them, so I wouldn't hate him if he did. He'd put his life on the line for them, and I know he wouldn't risk their lives for someone he just met.

"(Y/N)?"

I shot my head up and looked behind the couch. It was Leo! I stood up from the couch quickly and smiled awkwardly.

"H-Hey! I didn't know you were coming." I said.

I then watched as he moved his hands from behind his back and revealed a styrofoam container. I looked down at the container he held out to me then back at him.

"I thought you'd like it if I supplied dinner for a change." He said with a smile.

My heart skipped a beat as I smiled up at him. I took the container and beckoned him to follow me to the kitchen. I set the container down on the table and opened it, staring down at four tacos.

"Don't worry. I made sure they were vegan tacos." He said over my shoulder.

I smiled to myself as I walked to the cabinets to grab some plates.

He actually remembered.

I circled back around to also and handed him a plate before placing two tacos on my own plate.

"Thank you."

He smiled as he grabbed his tacos and sat down on his usual seat at the table. That was another thing I liked about Leo. He never forgot little details. Despite his strange diet of eating nothing but pizza with his brothers, he was open to eating vegan meals with me.

"How did you manage to get these?" I asked as I took a bite of my taco.

"I found them." He said nonchalantly.

My eyes then widened in shock as I looked down at my food. Did he get these from the trash?!

I heard laughter coming from his side of the table, causing me to look his way.

"I'm kidding." He said after his fit of laughter. "I paid a friend to get them for me from some local business near your work."

I tried to suppress a smile as I lightly punched his arm. "Don't scare me like that!" I laughed.

He chuckled, taking another bite of his taco. "I'm sorry."

I rolled my eyes before returning my attention to the food. We carried on our night talking and laughing like we always did, but there was a constant thought nagging at the back of my mind. No matter how hard I tried to distract myself from the question that yearned for answers, it never ceased to bug me. I just wanted to know if there was a chance that he could feel the same way towards me. I know those chances were probably slim, but I just wanted to know.

But I couldn't bring myself to ask. Not now. It was only a question that could be saved for another day. I could wait for now.

Only time will tell how he really feels.

What do you guys think will happen next? Will you ever bring yourself to ask for the truth or will you be left never knowing forever? Only time will tell... Also please don't be turned away from liking this chapter because you're a vegan in this story! I know that sounds weird to say, but a lot of people are pretty judgmental about that lifestyle. I just couldn't figure out a way to bring in one of Leonardo's many qualities that you admire. Anyways, please leave a vote, comment, and share with your friends if you enjoyed this chapter! And I will see you in the next one. Bye!
