'Love. Donnie couldn't help but ponder what that word really meant in this circumstance. You were not exclusively his, nor vice versa, so what did 'I love you' truly mean in this position? He thought about how distant the true meaning of 'love' had drifted from the word itself in his own mind; he'd heard the word so many times that it had nearly lost its meaning. Almost as if it undermined the true severity of what it implied. The word was strong and important, but not sacred. At least not within his family. DId that make his feelings significant anymore? What would it mean to love someone, to truly love someone, if the word lost all meaning?'

After dying a painful death, you get transported to the TMNT 2012 universe. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. The answer is everything. I have just realized a year after the fact that I never specified that this is a Donnie X Reader here. It is, for the record. In case it was up for dispute, neither TMNT 2012 or the fanart used for the cover are mine. There's a second one. A second volume, I mean. It's the only other TMNT related thing on there. If you liked this story and wanted to see it continue, read that.
