2012 TMNT First Meetings Headcanons
i think he would be interested in keeping you safe if you're a civilian
if you're a criminal he might talk you down from doing crime first, if you don't listen to him though he will kick your ass
but back to if you're a regular person in new york– if you were in danger he would most likely defend you
and if you insist on keeping him company because he saved your life, he might get a little shy and embarrassed
are you hungry ? he'll get you an order of pizza gyozas as soon as possible
you're one of the few humans he's ever met, it's a little hard for him to socialise with you at first but then gets the hang of it
if you're interested in any of the things he's interested in he will ask about it
he might infodump about space heroes if you're not careful
if you let him, he might develop a silly little crush on you
sorry this leo first impression headcannon thing is purely spoopy fanservice
he'd think nothing of you if you're a civilian
if you're a criminal he'd beat your ass, no questions asked
but if you're insistent on talking to raph after he saves your life or whatever he'd get annoyed and ask why you want to talk to him so bad
but this is only if he's still with mona
if he hadn't been with mona at all or they broke up or whatever, he might be bored enough to have you around for company
he might end up venting to you if you listen to him for long enough
raph feels as though he's never listened to and to have someone so ready and willing to hear him ramble, it comforts him
you might become his favourite friend after a night of talking and getting to know one another
he also would like it if you wanted to watch him train and cheer him on, it helps dissolve his insecurities
depends how you react to him when it comes to you being a civilian
as for you being a criminal ? he'd ask you why, how, when– he wants every little detail about the crime you're committing and the context behind it. he might not even want to kick your ass at all, maybe he just wants to talk.
now, if the turtle's saving your life and you're grateful like a normal person, thanking him and going on your merry way, he'd be proud of himself for handling whatever you tangled yourself with on his own.
if you make out his save as a knight-in-shining-armour-saving-his-princess situation ? he would get all flustered and embarrassed, falling for you hard if you give him any semblance of affection as thanks.
the mutant is starved for affection after all the years he's pined and yearned. crushing should be his middle name and it's not for crushing his enemies.
spending the rest of the night talking to him would probably mean him checking for wounds or if you got hurt.
he would worry about you no matter if your life was threatened or if someone just tried to steal your bag
haha you're the next april (whether you reciprocate or not is up to you)
nah dude you're chill brah
bro's clueless if you're committing crime
but otherwise he'd fight whatever's threatening you then offer if you want to hang out with him
whether you agree or scream and run away it's your choice (but the latter isn't what you're here for, is it ?)
he'd take you to murakami's or some pizza place he knows of for food first
after eating you guys would go up to the rooftops and he'd try to show you tricks on his board
maybe try to flirt with you if he finds you easy on the eyes
you spending time with him kind of reassures him that he's not annoying like his brothers say he is, so you're making him feel better about himself just by keeping him company
he'd love to talk to you again !! definitely will call you in the middle of the night to ask you if you think pineapple belongs on pizza.
