True love lasts forever

Uncertainty

Donnie pov

I'm tinkering in my lab, or at least trying to. Raph is pissed and seems to think he's better than Leo is. "I should be leader!"

"Well, Sensei made ME leader!"Leo storms off to his room, probably to meditate. I peek outside my door. "Can you please be a little bit quieter?" I ask, nervously. I hate that Raph makes me nervous. He's just soo angry and I don't want to get hit. "Shut up and get back to work until I say stop." I'm not sure why he's always biasing me around. I know I'm only a smartly pants genius who can fix things to them, by I don't need it rubbed in my face. I decide to stand my ground for once. "Who made you my father?" He growls at me ant tackles me to the ground, throwing multiple punches at me. Mikey just happens to walk in the room with April. Both pairs of blue eyes widen and Mikey runs to Leo's door, banging on it repeatedly. "Dude! Leo, Raph's beating the shell out of Donnie!" Raph lifts me into the air by my throat just as Leo emerges from his room. I send him a look, silently begging for help. "Raphael!" Leo shouts at him. "Put.Him.Down." black spots start to form in my vision as Raph drops me and runs out of the lair. I start coughing from the sudden oxygen going into my lungs. "Don, are you ok?" I nod my head. April hugs me. "Thank goodness you're ok." I hug her back k, smiling. "I'm fine, Angel." Raph finally comes back and I retreat to my lab. "I'm going to go work now...." I start on the projects and finish them, so I grab some food to eat. Raph is reading a comic book in the pit. "Where do you think you're going?" He asks, not even looking up. "I'm getting some food." 

"I never said you could. Go back to work."

"It's done already."

"Let me check." I grab some food while he checks everything. Mikey and Leo are too I to their show to see what's going on. "Not good enough.....just like you." He sneers. "I'm not your mechanic. Get your own."

"You will do as I say."

"Is that all that matters to you?! Do you guys even see me as a brother? Or am I just a handy Mandy going along for the ride?" My yelling gets the attention of Leo. "Just forget it." I run out of the lair, ignoring them. 

Leo pov

"Raphael!" I yell at him. "What's yer problem?" I step up to him, hands on my hips. "You know Donnie already has a low self-confidence. You need to stop bullying him."

"He's the one acting like a big baby." I roll my eyes and go into the sewers to look for Donnie. I don't see him, so I go to the surface. I find him on top of the Byerly building. He stands on the edge, too close. "They think all I am is someone who can fix things? Then they don't deserve to have me alive." I'm already running as he takes a step forward. "DONNIE!!!!!!" I grab him before he falls, hugging him close to me. My heart beats wildly in my chest as I hug him. He starts crying and even I can feel tears prick my eyes. Before long, both of us are crying. "I thought I was going to lose you."

"I'm sorry Leo." He barely whispers. "You know that you can tell me anything, right?" He nods his head. "I just want to be your brother."

"What do you mean? You've always been our brother."

"All I am is a person who fixes everything." I am sooooo going to kill Raphael when we get home. "Donnie, you're our brother. You're smart, kind, passionate, determined, caring, and you always look out for us. Raph is just jealous."

He smiles. "Thanks bro."

"No problem. Come on, let's go home."

When we return, Raph can be heard punching the life out of his bag. Mikey runs up and gives Donnie a hug. "You ok, bro?" Donnie hugs him back. "I am now."
