A/N: Hi everyone! This is a little one shot I did on tumblr with icecreamkitty-the-coolcat. We decided to experiment on the interactions between Leo and ICK, so this was born! With her permission, i edited it, and decided to put it on for everyone else to read! Hope you enjoy!
I'm Leonardo, and icecreamkitty-the-coolcat is Ice Cream Kitty!
"Ice Cream Kitty? What are you doing out of the fridge?"
The frozen mutant kitty doesn't reply, instead rolling happily around the ice-coated floor of the top part of the fridge. Leo sighed. "Come on now, good kitty, let's get you back inside before you melt. Mikey will never let me hear the end of it."
The kitty mewled in disapproval, wobbling away from Leo's awaiting hands and making her way to the living room.
Leo gasped in horror. "No, no, no, no, no! Get back here!" he called, racing after the feline, "Mikey will kill me!"
Ice Cream Kitty could sense that Leonardo was just behind her, so she leapt forward and started running on all fours, leaving behind only droplets of melted ice as she picked up her pace.
Leo's eyes widened. How the hell?! How could she suddenly grow legs like that and run?!
Oh. Wait. Mutagen. Right.
He rolled his eyes and growled, now running after the runaway ice cream cat. "Ice Cream Kitty, you better get back here! Good kitty, nice kitty!"
The mutant turned her head only to let out a small, dissatisfied hiss, jumping aboard the furniture to throw off the leader. She ended up landing in front of her owner's room, scraping her tiny claws upon the door.
The kitty darted out of Leo's grasp and he landed ungracefully on his face with a thump.
Some ninja.
He groaned and looked up, and to his horror, she was scraping on Mikey's door. Crud! He had to get her back in the freaking freezer, or she would melt on the spot! "C'mere kitty! Please!" he almost begged.
The pleas went into deaf ears…or no ears at all, because the kitty didn't move nor budge to the ninjas words. She missed the orange turtle and being stuffed inside that cold and dark room in the kitchen was no fun without him. She started meowing softly in order to audibly catch her owner's attention.
Leo growled again.
Okay. That's it.
He quickly stood up, sprinted over to the cat before Mikey could open the door and grabbed it, struggling to keep the sticky melting creature still in his grip. Jeez, this thing was more trouble than she was worth, though he had to feel some sympathy for her. She was clearly bored out of her little mind, and from how she mewed she was clearly missing her master, but she had to understand that with her new body, going out of the freezer was like bungeed jumping without a bungee; it was literally suicide! She would melt before she knew what hit her. He sighed as he tried to calm the feline down.
Ice cream kitty twisted and wiggled in the turtle's grip, scratching small marks into his large hands in order to escape. She noticed that this attack had no effect and that she was feeling rather warmer than she would've preferred, lacking energy to continue attacking the blue turtle and therefore she surrendered in reluctant defeat. "Told you you'd melt," Leo sighed, walking back to the kitchen and placing the cat back into her 'home'.
He didn't close the door however as he stared at the kitten. She looked sad and defeated, and he felt a tug at his heart strings for her. He let his head fall against the rim of the freezer as he groaned. "Damn kitty eyes…" he growled. "What are we gonna do with you?"
The feline felt instantly better in her cold surroundings and her ears perked up. The turtle must've tried to tell her this entire time! She wasn't allowed to leave the cold room because she would start to feel sick inside otherwise. The kitty leaned forwards just slightly, poking out her cold tongue and gratefully licked the small scars on his hands that she had caused.
He looked up just as the ice cream cat began to lick at the scars (however faint or small they were, and actually hadn't been noticed at all) as if she were trying to say she was sorry. The gesture made him smile. This cat was a handful, but she was still adorable. "Thanks," he grinned, "I guess I see why Mikey loves you so much."
The kitty meowed happily and did another joyful roll on the floor of the fridge, realizing that the blue one wasn't as bad as she had anticipated. If her owner wasn't around, she was very pleased that he would at least keep her entertained.
Ice cream kitty was also very pleased that it hadn't been the scary red one who had opened the fridge this morning.
He couldn't stop the small laugh that came out as he watched her roll and dance. He looked at his hand, seeing little traces of ice cream from where she had licked him.
He licked it.
Oh god.
"You do taste good," he said.
Oh god, don't do it Leo! You have more control than Mikey! Don't give in!
The mutant kitty pounced on the blue one and licked him on the nose, titling her head slightly afterwards. It wasn't exactly the first time she'd heard that, so there was no way denying it.
Leo toppled to the ground as the cat suddenly pounced on him, licking his nose and tilting her head.
Oh crud.
He laughed as he rolled his eyes, nuzzling the kitty's nose with the tip of his beak. "Oh, what the hell," he said, and he licked the cats' nose.
Dammit. So much for self-control.
