"I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (Jonatello)

The Talk

Donnie Pov

I was really nervous, Splinter had asked to speak to me, did he know? He was so serious too! I walked into the Dojo, seeing him meditating, I was tempted to not even go in but I had been caught, "Come, take a seat," he didn't even look at me, I walked over, taking a seat on the floor near him. "You wanted to speak with me?" I tried to sound as calm as I could, he was silent for a moment, "Yes, I have a question for you." I had a bad feeling about this, I knew I had to tell him about me and Casey soon. "What is Casey to you?" He looked at me, probably taking note of my reactions, I looked away, figuring now was a good time to tell him.

"Sensei... I.. I need to tell you something," I was very hesitant, but he was silently, listening, "Me and Casey are dating," I basically blurted it out, wondering how he would react. It was silent for a while but eventually he spoke, "I know." I looked at him, very confused, "What? How?" Splinter smiled a but, "I know a lot. Besides, it's rather obvious." He isn't entirely wrong, but I decided to ask, "you're not mad?" Splinter shook his head a bit, "Of course not. If he makes you happy, that's all that matters to me." I smiled, happy to hear that response, "Thanks Sensei." Splinter gave a small not, silent for a moment before quickly speaking, "But if he breaks your heart-," I cut him off, "Dad!!" He laughed a bit, I sighed and smiled, knowing he's kinda joking.
