It's Okay To Be Different | TMNT Donnie X OC Love Story

what's the deal with raziel

Everyone was on edge that night. After Fugitoid came back, and he explained very vaguely the situation to the Professor, Leo suggested that Donnie stay with him at the hull for the night. After all, the brother wasn't sure if Donnie would want to face the boys after everything that transpired.

When Donatello was inevitably dragged out of the armory, he spotted a speck of black on the floor. It was starkly different from the monochromatic white of the ship. He thought back to where he could have previously seen it from. Then he remembered the words Raziel and Sal Commander exchanged.

"Uranian?" He asked himself aloud.

"What are you babbling about, Donatello?" Honeycutt shot, as well as screens for eyes could convey, a somewhat bewildered look. "From what I've been informed of, it seems you had quite the explosion earlier."

"It wasn't an explosion. I just yelled. I got so scared, and I don't even know why."

"Do you want to know what I think? I think it's very clear you knew why."

Donnie tried to change the subject, just as he avoided earlier. "Professor, what does Uranian mean? I heard Raz and Sal Commander talking about it earlier."

The android stiffened, his wiggling fingers hovering mid air over his screened keyboard. "Er... Donatello. Given what Leonardo has told me, I wouldn't want to tell you."

"Just say it."

"Uranian is another word for a homosexual male. It originated on Earth, but the person who coined the term was actually an extraterrestrial, and soon spread their lingo across the galaxy. Now many men who choose to conceal their sexualities use the term Uranian to recognize one another."

Donnie took a moment to process the information. "RAZIEL'S A WHAT?!!!"

"I told you you weren't going to like my answer. Hush now, the others are trying to sleep."

Donnie tried his best to sleep that night, but was unsuccessful in his futile attempts. The embarrassing scene kept repeating in his mind over and over again. He messed with a Rubik's cube and solved it four times before becoming restless. He was unsure of how to take what Fugitoid said.

Raziel's gay? That can't be right. He's like a weirdly nerdy cool bad boy. He's kind of a dork, but has great hair and a palatable body. Chicks would love him. Why would he want to be with men?

Bored out of his mind, Donnie traversed further into his theory. Looking it up on the Professor's computer, Donnie searched 'black handkerchief on back pocket meaning'. The result he received was one he didn't want.

A gay man often sports black handkerchiefs to tell other gay men he is a homosexual.
