Donatello has been known to be cold, avoids touch and doesn't express emotion.

The thing is, none of these are actually true per say.

This is how he wants people to see him, his "Bad boy persona", as he calls it.

It took a lot of cracking down his walls for an outsider to even step foot into his comfort zone. 

You did it though. In a matter of months of doing the little things, you made your way into the trusted, guarded circle of the young Hamato's heart.

It wasn't long before you were a regular in his lab, even having a special corner where you would sit while he worked.

It wasn't long before Donnie had begun to develop a strong friendship with you. And like April, you did everything with him.

Mission to steal something from the purple dragons? You were there as lookout and backup.

Needing to find some scraps in a military junkyard? You were there in 5 minutes pulling on industrial gloves.

Even a late night coffee run? You two were regulars at the local coffee shop.

April had gotten to know you over the past few months as well. I mean, she was always with Donnie, and Donnie was always with you. 

She had started to pick up the signs when you surprise hugged Donnie, and he laughed it off, allowing the brief contact.

That was 2 months ago. She could tell the two of you were growing closer, and everyday she tried to pry a confession out of one of you.

Once she finally got confirmation from you, and then from Donnie not long after, she made it her mission to get you together. 

She gently nudged the both of you together, whether it was bailing out last minute on outings or getting the other boys to leave the lair so you could have it to yourselves.

It was working, you were growing closer, the feelings between both of you becoming obvious to the other now.

Often distrusting, both of you went to April for help.

"What do I do April?" You slumped on her bed hands over your red face.

"I really like him! I think he likes me too, but I'm just not sure." You pulled your hands down your face, kicking your feet to the love song that was playing in the background.

"You have to confess! The worst thing he could say is no, trust me."

"But April, I'm just..." Donnie says over the phone.

"Nervous? Scared?" April said filling in the gap in his sentence.

"Yes, both." He confesses to April and himself.

"Don, I mean this in the best way possible, get your shit together! Just ask them out!"

A few days later, Donnie sat in his lab unknowingly humming the melody to a song from your playlist that was playing in the background.

Finishing the wiring of his new project he sat back. It was something for you, a random gift of the many that he always gave you.

Getting up and stretching, he decided that he needed something to eat, and as one naturally does, he moves to get food from the kitchen.
