/Second Chances/ ROTTMNT!Donnie x reader

Nightmare (C.H Pt. 2) [Edited]

(hey everyone! I published this chapter a while ago, and now I feel the need to address something so I don't give in to the temptation of repeating myself while replying to every single comment about a certain topic. So, I'll be as vague as possible.

Also, this is mainly for people who have already read this chapter, but its technically for everyone.

Y/n is wearing two layers on their top half, however, one strap was torn. They're not fully exposed. I hope that alleviates some possible uncomfy feelings for the AFAB readers.)

3rd person POV

Y/n had slept until the morning of the next day. Which in turn meant Donnie stayed awake. All nighters were normal for Donnie, but this time, he couldn't stop either of his two brains from racing with thought after thought.

The only times during the night that he was focused on a single thing, was when he checked y/n's visor and made sure they didn't fall again.

Donnie didn't trust their ancestor. He didn't want them to have another episode, or feel any sort of pain because of him. But he couldn't do much because everything that was happening to them was in their head, and all that mental abuse (literally) was affecting their physical body.

He felt like he couldnt do anything to stop it. He desperately wanted to stop their suffering, but he didn't know how. Even if he did figure it out, he wouldn't have been able to do anything that would involve hurting the love of his life in the long run.

Sure, thoughts and ideas came to him, but he would never make y/n endure that much agony. He saw what big Mama did to them, and even if he found a less physically damaging alternative, if y/n lost their mystic energy they likely wouldn't survive. Or at least, they'd be in a critical condition until their body got used to the lack of a mystic foundation.

He hated himself for even thinking of these options because they'd all hurt y/n. He gave them a way to mask their energy to the public eye, but that doesn't stop the power from growing.

All these thoughts made him feel like he didn't deserve y/n. Like he shouldn't be the one they love. He didn't want to doubt himself, but he was insecure, even though he knew very well that his relationship with y/n was something that couldn't be broken. Even if y/n did die, they'd find a way back to him. He was certain of it.

But the more he thought about what could happen, the more he couldn't stand being in a bed next to y/n. He loved them above anything else, he cared for them even more than his own tech, or science. And he knew that they cherished him aswell. But even still, he felt undeserving of their love when he had these thoughts of hurting them in order to help them.

It got to the point where he had to leave the room. He needed to clear his head, so he went to the kitchen to get some coffee.

In said room, he ran into none other than his twin brother, who was also getting a refill of coffee.

The two simply stared at eachother. They weren't phased or surprised. This had happened too many times to count for them, they always bump into eachother during all nighters.

Leo grew a delirious grin and chuckled. "Haven't seen you up this early for, what, weeks? guess y/n is helping your terrible sleeping habits more than I thought." Donnie scoffed at Leo's typical quip.
