.⭒☆━━━✰━━━☆⭒. Leo was serious, but not all the time. That became increasingly obvious the more you were over at the lair. The more you went over the more comfortable Leo got with you. Now you were regularly teased or taunted. He even pulled pranks now. It didn't feel like you had to walk on eggshells around the fearless leader anymore, you could actually just be a teenager with him and it was nice.
Now you're in the lair, just waking around to find someone. Yet, you found no one. Usually they were in the main room but nothing. It was quiet a little too quiet, even for being ninjas it was too quiet for them. You went to the dojo, noticing Splinter meditating. Alright, you weren't completely alone. Splinter noticed your presence and assured you that the boys were just sleeping still. It was understandable, they could only leave the lair at night so they slept during the day.
You exited the dojo after thanking their dad for the reassurance. Feeling a bit better about being in the quiet lair, you went to the small kitchen. Grabbing a drink from your side of the fridge. You closed the fridge and stepped over to the kitchen table. There were papers there, no doubt from Leo making plans for patrols when he was supposed to be sleeping. You looked over the papers, reading the little bits of information.
Before you knew it, a pair of large arms wrapped around your neck. Not doing damage or anything just resting there like you were some arm rest. You didn't even have to see the person to know who it was, you were being used as an armrest for the leader in blue himself.
"I think I might change that one, the foot activity there has stopped." He said, his voice rumbling from right behind you.
