A/N Hello! First TMNT story! (applause) I mess up a lot of pairings here and insert headcanons. But it's got bro fluff. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Me no own. (Sobs)


Ten things that Raph, Mikey, and Donnie know about Leo.

1. Leo isn't just afraid of failing as leader. For as long as he's been the leader, Leonardo is terrified that he'll also lose his brothers' respect of him. What he doesn't know is that they never will.

2. Leo couldn't cook if his life depended on it. He has an ages-old vendetta with the toaster, and can't touch it without the appliance exploding in his face. If they had to count, his brothers would say that while in the kitchen, Leo has caused more explosions than Donnie has in his lab. After Mikey found out what he did to the stove when they were about twelve, he exiled Leo for life from kitchen. It's depressing.

3. Leo once slapped himself in the face because Captain Ryan did it. True story.

4. After Leo found out Karai was Splinter's daughter, Miwa, he didn't see her as a love interest anymore. From then on, his goal was to save her because she's his sister, just as he would with any of his brothers.

5. Leo used to have a pet goldfish named Bubbles. Bubbles was very happy for a goldfish, and ended up dying of old age. Leo gave him a full-length funeral.

6. Leo hates grape juice with a passion. No one knows why. That being said... (see below)

7. Leo loves grapes. He will put them on anything, and even Mike gets pretty disgusted by grape pizza.

8. Leo can count on one hand the number of times that he has actually written a Space Heroes fanfiction. He was so embarrassed by the sheer sappiness of his first romance that he burned it. The second time, it was supposed to be a short, humorous story, but the actual joke made no sense. The third time, he rewrote the finale so that Captain Ryan did not survive. He gave himself depression. There was no fourth time.

9. Leo has a sort of psychic connection with his brothers that tells him exactly when they need him the most. They're not sure how, as none of them have it, and Donatello is about ninety-five percent sure that it isn't physically possible, but when Leo saves all three of them for the gazillionth time when he couldn't have possibly known they were in trouble, they're glad he does.

10. Leo would gladly give his life for any of his brothers. They swear they'll never let him, but something tells them that it really isn't their choice. Ultimately, it's Hamato Leonardo's.


A/N Pairings destroyed. I like reviews, and I have this written out entirely, so... I'll try to update in one week, okay? Okay. Review! Mikey is hungry!
