Donnie's P.O.V

When the movie finally ends, Raph shuts my laptop almost immediately. "I'm so glad that's over," he says and he stands up. He helps Leo up and they stretch.
"Where did Mikey go?" Leo asks and he looks at me.
"I think he fell asleep under the blanket. He got scared." As the movie went on he kept sinking lower and lower. Now his head is in my lap. His arms are wrapped around my thigh like it's his teddy bear.
"Want help getting him to his bed?" Leo asks and he picks up the empty pizza box and the chip bag.
"No, he's fine."
"Are you sure?"
Raph stumbles backward and he catches himself by grabbing Leo's shoulder.
"I need to go to bed," he says and he stumbles out of my room. Leo and I laugh at him.
"See, it wasn't so bad." I say.
"Yeah," Leo agrees. "Thanks for talking me into that. Let's just pray Sensei doesn't find out."
"He won't, don't get paranoid then he'll know something is up."
"Yeah I won't, goodnight Don. Night Mikey." Leo walks out of my room and he shuts the door behind him.
"Hey, Mikey?" I pull the blanket up. "Are you awake?"
"Mhm," he hums with a big smile. That smile made my heart flutter.
"W-when did you fall asleep?"
"I've been awake the whole time. Whenever I close my eyes I see dancing pizza."
"Oh really?"
"Mhm, how was the movie?"
"I have no idea, I couldn't comprehend anything that I saw."
"It was too scary."
"You wanted scary."
"I was wrong." I rest my hand on his cheek and I brush my thumb over his cheek and he hugs my leg tighter.

"Mikey?"
"Donnie?" His eyes flutter open and he looks at me. The whites of his eyes are red and bloodshot. But his baby blue irises are shining, even though it's dark.
My heart rate speeds up and I stair at him.
What is this feeling?
I feel internal goosebumps crawl up every bone in my body.
Mikey turns his head and he looks up at me."Donnie, are you okay? You're really red." Suddenly his eyes widen. "Do you feel it too?"
"Yeah." I whisper. "Do you?"
"I feel it." He lets go of my leg with one of his hands and he reaches up. He grabs my cheek and he pulls my head down.
My ears start ringing again.
We're so close.
Our noses are touching.
"Can I kiss you?" I ask and trace my thumb over his lips.
"Yes please."
I lean down a little more and I lift his head.
Our lips touch, as soon as they do I feel a small spark. I kiss him and he kisses me back. Our lips fit together like a puzzle.
I start to lift my head but Mikey slides his hand to the back of my head and he pulls me back to him.
"Not yet," he whispers and he locks his lips onto mine again. Our lips move together as we make out.
His lips are so soft, and so warm.
I bite his bottom lip as I pull away from him.
"Donnie," he whispers.
"Mikey?" I tip my forehead against his.
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Uh? I thought-"
"Did you do it because of the weed? What about April?"
"No Mikey, I didn't do it because of the weed."
"Are you sure?"
"I promise. I mean the weed gave me a boost of courage."
"Then why did you kiss me?"
"Mikey," I groan and I kiss his forehead. "Because you look adorable and I realized that I have strong feelings for you." My face heats up and I can feel heart pounding against my shell.
"I like you too." Mikey says and he hugs my leg. "I've liked you for a long time...I mean more than a brother."
"I was that obvious, huh?"
"Yeah, for someone so smart you overlooked the small things, D."
"I'm sorry, Mikey," I brush my thumb over his cheek.
"Will you still like me in the morning?" he asks and his voice saddens.
"Of course I will. Why wouldn't I?"
"I'm just worried the weed is making you feel something that's not really there."
"It's not, Mikey. The feelings are genuine."
"I'll ask you again in the morning."
"Okay, you do that. But let's go to bed."
"I can't move."
"Is your cheek okay?" I ask and I straighten up the bandage.
"Yeah."
"Want to sleep with me?"
"Yes please," he coos and he snuggles up to my leg.
"Come on," I groan and I get him to sit up. I plop down into my back and Mikey groans as he worms his way up to the headboard. He plops down onto his side between me and the wall.
I cover the both of us up and I lay on my side so I'm facing him.
"Come here," I pull Mikey into my arms and I catch a glimpse of his smile before he hides his face in my chest. I rest my head on top of his and I close my eyes.
"Goodnight," Mikey says.
"Night, Mikey."
