You were sick of it - you’d get to the lair, waiting for the turtles to get back - and Leo’d be banged up worse than anyone. You never did understand why he was always doing stupid things - sacrificing himself, only to be saved last-minute… and, by now? You were his personal caretaker.

…But when you almost got hurt? Everything changed. It was like a switch had been flipped in Leo. That day, when the Foot Clan had taken you… it scared him. Shook him to his core. He thought he was going to lose you that day - and he couldn’t let that happen.

And now, while you’ve mostly recovered from your injuries… he’s still coddling you, offering to make you soup, or grab you snacks- heck, he’s offered to carry you around, even. You’d told him you were getting better - and he just… didn’t listen, as per usual. But… it was kind of sweet, seeing this side of the cocky dork.
