Smoldering Love (donatello x reader)

Ch.9

"Man, I'm glad Y/n's chill enough to see how cool I-we are. She didn't freak out at all!" said Michelangelo.

"She is a very nice girl," agreed Master Splinter.

"Yeah, she's alright, a little quiet though. But did you guys see the way Donnie stared at her? He never took his eyes off her. If she were to freak out about anything, it'd be his creepiness,"said Raphael.

"Well what do you expect? He's in love for the first time," said Leonardo.

"Love is a powerful emotion," said the wise Master Splinter.

"So is heartbreak, and that's the direction Donnie's love-life is going," said Raphael.

"Well, let's hope Donnie gets over it on his own so that it's not awkward when Y/n comes back," said Michelangelo playing on his T-phone.

Then, as Donatello entered the Lair, smiling widely of course, Raphael called out to him, "How'd it go Romeo?"

"Huh? Oh, fine. She'll be here at the same time tomorrow,"Donatello responded.

"Did you kiss your girlfriend goodnight?" Raphael mocked while Michelangelo made kissing noises and Leonardo stifled his laughter.

"What? She's not my girlfriend...yet...." he whispered at the end.

"What do you mean 'yet'?" asked Raphael. "You don't actually think you have a shot with her, do you?"

"Well, I-I don't know...I can try..." he whispered looking down.

There was silence since the brothers wanted to bring Donatello back to earth, but didn't want to hurt him. They all turned to Master Splinter for guidance, but seeing their stares, excused himself for the night, leaving them helpless.

"What if she already has a boyfriend? Or at least someone she likes? Are you going to compete with that person?" asked Raphael.

This had apparently not occurred to Donatello, as he was now visibly depressed.

"I don't know," he said sullenly.

"Donnie, what we're trying to say is, don't force yourself onto her or get your hopes up too high. You might be very disappointed," said Leonardo.

"Yeah," said Michelangelo not knowing what to say.

"Well, I'm going to work in my lab. Call me when we have to go out to patrol," Donatello said, as he went off depressed with the thought of having to compete with a human boy, who he'd knew he'd lose to.

"Maybe we were a bit too harsh all at once," said Leonardo.

"It's better sooner than later, before he gets too attached and his hopes too high," said Raphael turning his attention over to spike.
