Love Potion (leotello)

Surprise?

~Leo's POV~        

               I didn't mean to yell out to him. But I did. Why did I do it?? I could see him pause. They both did. But Mikey was the first to turn to me. He had a confused, yet upset experience. "Donnie come on, let's go! I'm not gonna get any better just standing here.."

Mikey grabbed Donnie by the wrist, attempting to pull him out of the lab. Seeing this made my skin crawl and with a sudden new reflex I managed to to grab Donnie's other wrist and pull him towards the lab. "DONNIE! Please!! Its really important.."

Me and Mikey were pretty much playing tug-of-war, but instead of a rope, we were fighting for Donnie's attention. But because I was older and bigger than Mikey, I succeed in making him tumble backwards and dragged Donnie into the lab. Mikey let out an "OOF", while Donnie was quietly whimpering. I let go of his wrist and he looks flustered and shocked. While he was frozen still trying to comprehend what had just happened, I ran to the lab door locking it. A second after I do so, I here the sound of someone throwing themselves at the door on the other side. Followed by a very over exaggerated gasp coming from Raph. Hearing the huge thump against the door, Donnie snapped out of his frozen state, and quickly took notice to the now locked door. He blushed a light red. I knew this was a perfect opportunity to tell him how I've been feeling lately. As I was thinking of what. to say and how to start the conversation, I saw him running for the door. I was quicker though, and  managed to beat him to the door. I was standing in front of the door, my back laying against it. "Donnie.. I just wanna talk.."

I see Donnie slightly tilt his head while sweating. "What's so important that needs you to lock the door..?"

I try to think of an excuse or any reason as why I'd need to lock the door..and Donnie also sees it in my face. He knows I don't have any other reason. Donnie try's to seem confident and commanding, by folding his arms, and glaring at me. This doesn't work and all this really does is make it more obvious that he's nervous. "Donnie? Are you nervous?" I asked him.

"Definitely not,"he whispered, "is what you're going to say so important you need to lock the door.?"

I could use this to my advantage! "YES?" I mean, yes."

"Alright..what's going on? Im scared.." Donnie showed me a worried face.

"I...I think..I..." I didn't know what was happening. I came in knowing exactly what I was going to say and now I can barely speak.

Donnie raised one of his nonexistent eyebrows. "Are you Alright?"

"Y..ya..I just..you know what..I'll just.." And just like that, I was making my way towards the exit of the lab.

I know Donnie wanted to stop me. He wanted to know what I was going to say. But he was smart and knew if I wasn't ready to talk about it, he had to respect that. So he let me leave with no rejection. After I unlock the door I slip through the crack of the door and look back to see him staring at the ground sadly. It broke my heart, but I knew I couldn't run to him. I so badly wanted to run to him and wrap him in my arms. But not now. I felt so different towards Donnie and I knew I had to Hide these feelings. I know Raph would be okay with me liking our brother but how would Donnie feel about it. I'm not sure how Mikey would react too. I sudden felt the need to get Donnie something. I knew If I just made him something he'd have to say he likes it because he doesn't wanna hurt me. I wanna get him something nice. So I formulated this plan. Seeing as everyone was distracted, I took the chance to sneak out of the Lair, and come up to the surface to look for something for my dear brother. Of course I had to be sneaky about it. It was pretty dark out so I knew I could do this no problem.

~Donnie's POV~

           It's been hours since Leo disappeared!! Everyone is FREAKING out! Except Mikey. He seems much calmer than me and Raph. When we went off around the Lair searching for him, Mikey remained seated on the couch, watching TV. I was tempted to contact April and Casey for help. I was so desperate, but Raph managed to convince me that it wasn't a good idea.. I'm just so worried! First, Leo started acting strange, then Mikey and Leo start fighting..and now he's GONE?? I don't know what to do! I was frantically looking everywhere we had previously checked just to make sure. Raph saw that I was stressed. "Hey..Don..you know he'll come back..Leo would never leave us..you know that.."

I knew he was trying to make me feel better. And I wanted to feel better. I give him a hopeful smile. "Thanks."

"Any time." He says, making his way to his punching bag. 

He doesn't use it as much as he use to but he still uses it. Mostly when he's stressed or upset. Or just to punch something. I think about what Leo would want me to do now if he were here and I had nothing to do, and the first thing that comes to mind is..a nap. So I just walk to my room and  tell the others that I'll be napping. They both wave to me and I shut the door. I jump into bed, it feeling really warm and comfy. This is good because the Lairs been getting cold lately and I definitely needed this. I lay my head down on the pillow cuddling myself. I sometimes wish I had  a sole-mate. I wonder if I do. And if I do. I wonder who it is and where they are. I lay there thinking this for quite some time and without realizing, my eyes being to slowly shut and my mind drifts to sleep..

———————

My eyes remain shut but I have awoken. I quietly yawn, my eyes fluttering open. I look around noticing it is darker. I guess it's still dark out too. I get up,  walking out my room. I wanted to make sure everyone was in bed by now. I am now standing in the living room and it is dead silent. The only think I could really hear isn't the sound of snoring coming from Raphs room. Mikey seemed to be in bed. As I make my way back to my room I notice something infront of my door. It was a small basket.  It kinda was in the shape of a picnic basket. Just a little nicer, and fancier. I knew it wasn't here before. If it was I would have hit it with my door. A dark blush consumes my face, seeing a beautiful bouquet of flowers. They were blue and purple tulips. I covered my face trying to hide the blush on my face even though I was alone. I could help myself. I began to dig around in the basket, where I found a heart shaped box of chocolate's and a card. I open up the card to find a something written inside.

To my dearest,

I don't know how to feel about you. These feelings towards you are just so frustrating to handle. And I just don't know how to express my feeling so I've written this card. I'm no nervous to confess in person, but when I manage to grow the confidence necessary, I'll confess to you in person.

               Sincerely, please don't look for me..

I have a secret admirer??
