In the Ninja Turtles' lair, an old abandoned subway in the sewers of New York, the four brothers were relaxing after a long patrol. The aroma of pizza filled the place as they devoured their slices and laughed watching a cartoon on TV. On the television screen, they were watching another cartoon show that was about to end, and Michelangelo couldn't stop laughing at the absurd plot.

Suddenly, the turtles' friend and ally walked in with a warm smile. The brothers greeted her enthusiastically, but she went straight to Leonardo, with something in her hands.

—"Leo, I have a surprise for you"—she said, handing him a sweater of an indefinite color between lilac and light blue, adorned with the logo of Space Heroes, her favorite television show.

Leonardo's blue eyes sparkled at the sight of the gift. He took the sweater in his large hands, looking at it with admiration and affection. He didn't say anything at first, but the smile that formed on his face said it all.

—"It's... amazing. Thank you"—Leonardo murmured, clearly excited.

She smiled and, without giving it much importance, sat next to him on the couch. He didn't expect what would happen next. Leonardo, still holding the sweater, suddenly moved quickly. Before she could react, he gently pushed her back until she was face up on the couch, with him on top, cornering her. Leonardo's pupils were dilated, and an intense look she hadn't seen before shone in his eyes.

—"Leo... what are you doing?"—she asked, surprised.

But Leonardo didn't answer right away, his expression was serious, but his eyes conveyed a mix of contained emotion and something deeper.
