Heat Wave (Donnie x Reader)

A/N: It's been a couple years since I've wrote for him, so I may be a little rusty. Nevertheless, I put my best effort into this and I hope you enjoy! Contains: cuddling, a brief Leo cameo, a little bit of flirting, and a brief mention of eating bugs.

It was a brutal summer in New York.

The day had you and the four turtle brothers you were hanging out with sweating puddles. The sewers were always a place you could rely on to be cool- even in the summer time- but the occasional extreme heatwave made the humidity and heat inevitable no matter where you were. 

You and the others had hardly been able to do anything since you were all so hot; Splinter hadn't even come to greet you as he usually would, far too busy trying to keep his furry body cool. However, once you brought back an inflatable pool from your house, the mood had drastically improved... even if the heat was still very much there.

Even as the sun had set and night settled upon the city, to your dismay that didn't stop the heat. You and your boyfriend Donnie were trying to get some rest in his room, but it was proving quite difficult. He had all his devices with fans running, which created a overlapping whir of background noise, and still it wasn't quite cooling the room enough. Between the two of you, every blanket on his bed had already been kicked away but one.

You heard him shift in discomfort from the opposite side of the bed, and you turned your head to gaze longingly at him. Donnie was a really good cuddler, but with the undesirable heat, neither of you wanted your combined body heat to worsen the problem. 

"Hey D...?" you murmured, curious to see if he was awake.

"Yes, Y/N?" he answered through a subtle sigh, opening his eyes to focus them on the ceiling above.

You smiled slightly just hearing his voice. "Can't sleep?"

Now Donnie rolled onto his side, facing you and meeting your eyes. "Yeah..." he answered softly, pursing his lips a little in a melancholy manner. "Had I known we'd face this horrendous heatwave, I might have suggested another day for you to come by instead." His eyes shimmered a little with regret in the dark, and he dropped his focus from your eyes.

You gave him a reassuring smile, shifting to hug the single blanket covering you closer to your face. "Hey, don't beat yourself up over it, okay? There's no way you could have known." You glanced over at the row of fans keeping the room a just manageable temperature. "Besides, it's cooler in here than it would be at my house and..." You met his eyes again. "I'm happy spending time with you, no matter the temperature."

Donnie held your eyes, a soft blush rising up to his cheeks before he suddenly let out a snort, making a cute face in the process. "That was pretty cheesy," he remarked, and you laughed a bit. He, however, just stuck out his tongue. "Leonardo's being a bad influence on you."

You tried to make a face, but it was hard through your grin. "Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh," Donnie responded, his voice matching your tone which just made you laugh again. A wide pleased smirk spread across Donnie's features.

Once you settled down again with only the occasional soft chuckles escaping you, your eyes met Donnie's, which were fixated on you. Again, you were tempted to move close to him, eyeing how his arms were resting in an unintentionally welcoming pose.

However, as you moved closer to him, Donnie waved his hands in front of him, even shifting slightly away from you. "No Y/N," he scolded, his voice attempting to come out as firm, but mostly sounding uncertain instead.

You stopped and pouted at him with big puppy-dog eyes. "I knooooww!" you whined. "But I want to cuddle!"

Donnie's eyes widened at your pleading expression, biting his bottom lip and looking away nervously. "Y/NNN! You know I can't resist it when you look at me like that!" he complained, trying to use his arms to shield his vision from you.
