He/you ask the other out Don

Donatello

You are chilling with Don in your room. You are tinkering away on a cute little robot on your bed. Don is working on his latest gizmo at your desk, except he isn't. He's turned towards you, looking at you like this is the last time he'll see you, trying to remember every detaiile of your face. As far as he is concerned it might be. He knows April stuck around after he had confessed his feelings to her, but it had taken them a long while to be comfortable around each other again. He doesn't want to mess the friendship with you up, but compared to the crush he had on April this feeling is ten times stronger. He needs to say this to you, tell you how much you mean to him.

But he is oh so afraid of what you might think of him.

If you didn't return his affections that would be fine, as long as he could still be a part of your life he could accept your rejection. But he saw the look in your eyes the first time you met in real life. When you realized he is a mutant, something not human...He doesn't think he can take it if you are disgusted with him.

"You're thinking very deep thoughts there Don, you want to let me in?"

Oh how he wanted to let you in. In his thoughts, in his heart, in his bed.. 'Not the time for this brain! Well now is as good a moment as any to confess.' he takes a deep breath to calm his mind.

"o-okay, so th-that is..." 'stop stuttering idiot!'

You scoot over and sit cross legged on your bed. You pat the spot on the bed next to you. Donnie hesitates before coming over and sitting down next to you. The closer proximity is not helping his nerves and he has trouble looking at you. You are giving Donatello all your attention, having put aside your work, but give him time to gather his thoughts. He fumbles with the edge of the sheet and doesn't meet your eyes when he admits in a steady, but softer voice then he would have liked

"I think I love you."

It takes a few moments for the words to register in your brain. The first thing how sad he sounds to admid his feelings to you. You're as red as a strawberry when your brain catches the full implication of his words.

He holds still, eyes squeezed shut. Ready for rejection and discust and to be shouted at by you.

"Donnie.. Can you look at me please?" Hesitantly he opens his eyes. But he still looks at the ground not meeting your eyes so you lay a hand on his cheek to turn his head towards you.

"I- IthinkIloveyoutoo." You admit, growing even redder. You're pretty sure that if your internal temperature keeps rising like this you'll pass out from overheating.

Don's eyes widen. "y-you d-d-do?"

Now you suddenly have trouble keeping eye contact as you let your hair fall over your eyes when you nod.

Don reaches out and tucks some hairs behind your ear. You lean your cheek on his palm and shyly look up at him.

"s-so. Does th-that mean y-you want to be m-my g-g-girlf-friend? "

"Yes Donatello. I'd like that."
