~Donnie’s POV~
I hear a knock on my door.
" Come in. " I say, not looking up to see who it was.
The person enters my room.
" What do you want Le- " I say, spinning around in my chair. " Oh, hey Rye. What's- " I start then I realize she had changed her clothes.
" You like my outfit? "
" I- "
" Yes? "
My mind starts to spin. What is going on? Why is she so… cute? What is this feeling?
" Hello? Earth to Don, you good? "
" Y-Yeah. Sorry. I zoned out a bit there. "
~Mikey's POV~
I'm humming while I make food for everyone, when I feel a tap on my shoulder.
I turn around to see Chase.
I wave to him, knowing he doesn't like talking much.
" Wanna play with me in the arcade? I got bored playing alone. " Chase murmurs.
" Sure! "
Chase smiles at me gently, showing his appreciation with just a small smile.
We walk to the arcade, once we get there I see that Jax and Leo are there as well.
" When did you guys get here? " Chase asks them.
" Just a little bit ago, we needed to make sure we weren't going crazy. We heard Donnie say that he zoned out "
" Donnie? Zoning out? Him? " I ask in confusion.
" Our exact reaction. "
" Do you have proof? "
" Yeah. I was recording, I wanted to get his reaction to her outfit, so we've been listening to the recording over and over and it still doesn't make sense. "
" Show me! "
Jax teleports to me with his phone and then presses play.
" Hello? Earth to Don, you good? " I heard the Rye girl say over the recording.
" Y-Yeah. Sorry. I zoned out a bit there. " Don replies.
" See we weren't lying. "
" DONNIE? ZONED OUT? He sounds in love, to be honest- " I say.
" For real though. "
" WAIT- IS HE IN LOVE?! "
" Holy sh¡t. Don’s in love? "
" Who's in love? " Raph asks, sticking his head into the gaming room.
" Noone. " Jax says, quickly.
" Donnie. " Leo says at the same time as Jax.
" Them two. " I say, pointing at Leo and Jax.
" Donnie's in love? With who? " Raph asks.
" … Take a guess "
" I don't want to"
" Rye "
" RYE?!? "
" Shut up, shut up! "
" Yess??? " Rye says, sticking her head into the room as well.
" I- it- never mind. "
" Aww… I wanted to help with something. Also, I think I broke Donnie- "
" The f#ck? What did you do? "
" I hugged him- "
" Well, I didn't think he liked hugs so… "
" Yeah but now he's not responding- "
" I'll snap him out of it. " Jax says with a mischievous smile.
~Jax's POV~
I teleport to Don's room to find him, frozen in his chair with a red face.
" Donn? "
No answer.
" Boi snap back into reality, please. "
No answer. I slap him.
" H-HUH? " Don says as he snaps back into the real world.
" Oh my gosh! I thought I lost you " I say, sarcastically
" W-What happened? "
" Rye hugged you and you froze. "
" O-Oh. R-Right. "
" Also. I didn't know you were capable of zoning out. Me 'n Leo heard you earlier. "
" U-Uhhh I didn't either. "
" Okay. Btw what did you think of Rye's outfit? I made it. "
Anddd there he goes, shutting down again.
" I swear if you don't snap back, Imma slap you again. "
" UHHH. UHHH. I MEAN- " he quickly stutters, waving his hands frantically.
" boi. What do you think of her outfit? "
" It's cute… "
" Do you have a crush on her? "
" I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A CRUSH IS! "
" Boi- "
" I've never had a ' crush ' on someone. You should know this. "
" Alright. I'll teach you some things, take my hand… please. "
He rolls his eyes and takes my hand.
I teleport us to my bedroom, specifically my library area.
" Alright. Sit down and I'll give you some books "
" Okay??? "
I go deep into my library to find the romance section. I pick and choose some books because I don't want him to read some of them just yet. It might scar him for life.
I come back and hand him the 15 books.
" Why so many? " He says, looking over at the titles.
I just go to my whiteboard, turn it away from him, and start writing on it, once I'm done I turn it back towards him.
" Hm? "
" Alright, today you will be learning what a crush is. But first I need you to write down everything you’re feeling for everyone underneath their names, don't worry about people seeing it. I'm going to burn the paper afterward"
" Okay?? "
He starts writing under the first name.
I take this time to finish the book I was reading, I look for it on my bed and sit by him at the table.
About 15 minutes go by, then he says " Done. "
" Alright. "
He hands me the paper and I look it over. Mostly things about Rye… As I figured he would. Awe he thinks I'm cool, Leo is annoying, but tolerable. Go figure. I knew he was going to do that for Leo.
Alright. So these things he wrote for Rye are definitely strong feelings that are pointing towards 'I have a crush on you'. I need to talk to someone about how to confess those feelings though… hmm who to talk to. Actually, I know the perfect guy!
" One sec. I have to do something, in the meantime, you can read the books. Just don't leave my room. " I say, walking to a secluded part of the library.
I press call and hope he picks up.
" Hello? " Razi says from the other side of the phone.
" Okay, so I need help. How do I confess my love to someone? "
" Ahh… that's an odd question. Uhm. I don't know how to describe that… "
" Well, would I say something like 'Hey I think I like you' or would it be like 'I have a crush on you' like? "
" Uhm. No. Both are cringe AF. It would be more like, ' Hey, I've had a crush on you for some time. I was wondering if you liked me back? It's okay if you don't. ' You know? "
" Thank you, you're the best. I just have to tell this to someone who doesn't know what a fking crush is so he can confess to his crush that he didn't know he had. K thanks bye "
" Waitwaitwait, do you need help?? 'Cause I will help if needed. Anything to get away from my fking parents.. "
" Sure, "
A yellowish portal pops up next to me, and he walks through.
" Sup," he says, doing a lil hand salute.
" Cool cool. Now follow me and don't freak out "
" WHAT THE FCK DO YOU MEAN DON’T FREAK OUT YOU NEVER TELL ANYBODY TO NOT FREAK OUT BECAUSE THEY’RE GONNA FREAK OUT! "
" Well… I have some questionable things in my room so don't freak out. I mean we are in my questionable section in my library right now. "
" … I'm actually going to slam your head into a bookshelf. "
" Mkay. Well then follow me "
" I already am, idiot. "
I bring him to Don and introduce them, after that, I let Razi do his thing.
.. but they just start talking about science…
" Stop talking about science and teach him how to confess! " I say, nudging Razi.
