Tear In My Heart (Donatello X OC)

C.14

The guys ordered pizza for lunch, and all six of us were in what appeared to be a kitchen. A large bipedal rat walked in and Donnie got up and pulled me up.

"Sensei, I'd like you to meet Dorian. Dorian, this is Sensei, Master Splinter." Donnie introduced us, and I smiled and nodded at him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." I held out my hand and he took it gently with a chuckle.

"I assume you're the one who's taken Donatello's heart?" He said and I smiled and nodded with a slight blush.

"She's also the one who kept him away from home for a week, Sensei." Raph spoke up.

Splinter looked at me. "Is this true?"

"Halfway." I admitted. "It's not my business to tell. It's Donnie's." I said and Splinter nodded, then moved away to take a seat, but then he whipped his tail and hit Raph over the head.

"Raphael. You will not speak ill of this girl. It was Donatello's decision to leave, and you should not hold her responsible." He said.

"Hai, Sensei." Raph winced, rubbing his head.

April moved over to hiss something to Donnie and I. "I told Splinter of what you told me. He understands." She said and Donnie nodded.

"Thanks, April."

"Anytime." She winked at both of us and I grinned a little and sipped my soda.

"You're not going to eat?" Mikey frowned at me, offering some pizza.

"She doesn't eat a lot. She just drinks her weight everyday." Donnie said.

"And you know this how?" Leo asked.

"Well. I did live with her for a week. You think I'd pick up something like that." Donnie said sarcastically and I took a slice of cheese pizza and nibbled on it silently. I couldn't help but feel guilty for causing this feud between them.

The brothers bickered for a few minutes and I felt my phone buzz in my back pocket. I pulled it out to see who was calling, and softly groaned at the name.

"What... oh." Donnie looked over to see Garrett's name on my screen. "You should answer it."

"I don't want to." I sighed, ready to hit decline.

"What if it's important? What if he's in trouble or needs help?" He said and I got up.

"Then why the fuck would he be calling me?" I huffed, hit accept and walked away. "What is it, Garrett?"

"What took you so long to answer? Had to get permission from your boyfriend?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Garrett, are you drunk?" I asked.

"Maybe...?" He chuckled a little more.

"Are you stoned right now?" I asked, and he just laughed. "It's the middle of the day! What are you doing stoned and drunk? Don't you potheads do that shit at night?" I groaned, rubbing my forehead with my hand.

"Why did you call me? To waste my time?" I asked, already tired.

"No. I wanted to apologise." He said and I froze with my eyes widened and staring at the wall.

"What?" I asked.

"I wanted to apologise for what happened a few days ago. You know, in the park with your boyfriend. Donnie." He said and it took me a while to collect my thoughts.

"No, yeah... I- I remember." I stammered a bit.

"Yeah, I can't exactly apologise on Ryan's and Sean's behalf, but I was kind of being a dick. So, I'm sorry, and I hope you're happy with him." He said, and I heard him take a drag of something and exhale it.

"Wow..." I was silent for a moment. "Um, thank you, Garrett... I don't really know what to say." I just blinked.

"Yeah, I know right? So unpredictable of me, being a decent human being." He said and I began to worry.

"No, that's not what I-"

"Anyway, before this gets any more awkward, I'm going to hang up. Have a nice day, Dorian." He said and the line went dead.

My hand dropped by my side as I hit the hang up button and I just stared into space, trying to figure out what the fuck just happened.

"Dor? You alright?" Donnie came over and I pressed the power button on my phone and slipped it in my pocket.

"Garrett..." I breathed and he held my shoulders.

"What did he do? Did he threaten you?" He asked, pretty worried.

"No, he... he apologised for being a dick to you. To us." I said and he pulled back with a shocked expression. "Right?"

"Wow. That's unpredictable." Donnie said and I cracked a smile and nodded.

"That's what he said."

Donnie kissed my forehead and turned me around, leading me back to the kitchen. "The others were starting to worry."

We hung out for a few more hours, and I was getting ready to head back home. April offered to go with me, so we were saying our goodbyes.

"I'll be up there in a second, sweetie!" Donnie called.

"Okay." I called back, waiting on a ladder with April. We kinda overheard them talking.

"You're going over to her place again?" Leo asked.

"Wow. She must be really good in bed." Raph teased.

"Would you shut it? We haven't even had sex yet! I like sleeping with her because I genuinely like waking up next to her rather than one of you idiots screaming at each other or fighting first thing in the morning." Donnie snapped and it was quiet.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow." Donnie said and left with us.

It felt so good to collapse in a familiar bed with him.
