TMNT x Reader Imagines // The Dark Turtles x Reader.

Brothers. Dark Turtles x Reader.

Imagine meeting your clone boyfriend's "brother." He had told you long ago about their history and their creation but none of it mattered to you. He was his own person, whoever he "came" from didn't matter to you. But the turtles had never stopped looking for the clones and it was only a matter of time before they caught up to each other. And it was only a matter of time before they found out about you...But in this case, the clones approached their "brothers". They were being hunted and needed help...and you would need protection.

You can tell that Leonardo's twin doesn't trust him. It's the way he looks at him, always eyeing his weapons and hands. The way he holds himself around him, ready to fight if needed. You could tell. And Leonardo could too, choosing to stand slightly in front of you as he stared back at his brother. He had told you about everything that had happened between them, so you understood it. But neither of them had said a word and, honestly, it was getting a little weird.

"Who is she?" He finally asked.

You could tell your boyfriend didn't want to answer him but he certainly couldn't ignore the question.

"A friend. She needs to stay, to keep those...things away from her while we deal with our little issue." He replied, glancing at you.

"I don't think-"

"I don't care! I'm not asking and she's staying!"

You had to act quickly before things escalated. Placing a gentle hand on his arm, you looked up at your boyfriend. Words weren't necessary, you had long since perfected the art of silence. Leronardo looked back at, instantly calming at your touch. And his brother seemed to realize that "a friend" had been a lie.

"I...apologize. Of course she can stay."

Donatello was acting like everything was okay. Standing tall, arms crossed, and casually talking about security measures. But you knew him well enough to see past the cool act and pick up the little things. Like the way she eyed every exit, when he wasn't looking ast the security cameras. Or the way he wouldn't leave your side, his tail curled around your waist. And the way he stared at the "others" as if daring them to come anywhere near you. He had always been the jealous type...but with his twin around, it seemed even worse. Perhaps said twin noticed this, finally asking

"Are you...friends?"

There was an implication with the way he said it and Donatello bristled with pride, taking your little hand in his.

"Yes. Quite close in fact."

That was all that was said about the matter but it was more then enough.

Raphael was scared. Not just of the things that had been chasing and hurting them (would they hurt you? He didn't want to chance it) but if being here. Of being with them. Bad things happened whenever their "brothers" were around and he hated it. Raphael wanted to be left alone. He wanted you to be left alone. And most of all...he didn't want his twin anywhere near you. He had allowed the other one (purple meant he was Donatello's other right? He seemed smart) look over your minor wounds but his twin wouldn't be anywhere near you. Raphael was making sure of it.

"What's the big red creep's problem?" He said to himself.

Raphael growled, taking a step toward him until you stepped between them, hands on one of his.

"Raph! It's alright, let's just go over here, okay?"

The other him seemed to get it after that, or at least a sense of it. And you lead him away, speaking softly to your giant boyfriend.

Michelangelo actually didn't mind his twin. Teasing him was fun and hitting him was even more fun! But this? This wasn't fun at all. He hated being here, trapped in this penthouse a while they all tried to figure out what to do about those creepy robots. At least he had you here, though, so it wasn't totally unbearable. At least, until he noticed the looks you were getting. His brothers were used to seeing you sitting on his lap, whispering something to him as you both giggled...but the others? Not so much. His own twin seemed the most confused. Several times, he almost said something but he always held back...until he couldn't anymore.

"Are you...like...you know?" He asked.

"Yup!" Michelangelo replied, wiggling his tongue.

He was... shocked maybe? But Michelangelo went on his merry way, whispering in your ear as his twin glanced back.

The twins wouldn't get it of course. What on earth (or any other planet for that matter) could yuou see in the clones? But what they or anyone else had to say didn't matter, it never had. All that mattered was what the two of you had together...🖤🖤🖤🖤
