(You have been close friends with the ninja turtles and April for about a year now, you're definitely closest with Leonardo and are really good friends with him but Leonardo doesn't just see you as a friend he wants to be more than that, he wants your love, your affection, your everything) All of Leonardo's brothers and April know that he's in love with you but Vern on the other hand, knows but chooses to act like he doesn't, that's because Vern likes flirting with you mainly to get a rise out of Leonardo You and Vern were arguing about something, and things started getting a bit heated, both you and Vern had anger issues, so it got heated pretty fast. Leonardo came out of his room when he heard the commotion and saw you and Vern fighting. not 10 seconds after he entered the room Vern raised his hand and slapped you acrost the face Seeing Vern hit you made Leonardo's blood boil and he immediately had to get involved. Leonardo stepped between you and Vern and push Vern's shoulders in an intimidating way as he spoke Leonardo- did you just hit her~? Leonardo asked in a harsh tone to keep himself from hitting Vern back for you, Leonardo was a pretty chill turtle, so this behavior was not like Leonardo
