It was now morning, it was pretty warm but if you wrapped yourself in a blanket you'd feel extremely hot.

"Wake up, guys." Leo said, nudging the duo, Donnie and Mikey. It was seven in the morning now. "April is at school right now, and if she's up your up!"

Mikey was curled up in a ball near Donnie's chest, who was holding his dear lover closely to him. "Guys!" Leo yelled, causing the duo to yelp. Donnie quickly realized the position he and Mikey were in and he backed away almost immediately.

"Donnie? *yawn* W-what are you doing in my bed?" The little turtle asked, rubbing his eyes as he sat up.

Donnie, looking away blushing, ran out the room.

"What the-" Leo said, adding on with a

sigh. "I'll talk to Donnie, in the meantime, go make yourself some toast and get ready for training."

Mikey nodded, bearly listening to what his leader had to say.

'I'd only listen to Donnie...' Mikey thought in his head, drooling. Leo noticed this and asked if Mikey was okay, only to receive a "I'm fine."

Leo left the room and Mikey got ready for the day.

**★**

Everyone was in the dojo waiting for Mikey. "Sensei, why don't we start-" Leo questioned, but his sensei interrupted him by saying "Because, Leonardo, being patient is one of the many things of being a ninja. Sparing, fighting, you can wait for that."

Leo sighed understandingly and sat down by Raph who was reading a comic book.

"Cool book. What are you reading?" Leo asked. "None of your business." Raph snapped.

"Hey dudes!" Mikey happily cheered, allowing himself to skip through the dojo.

"Where were you, Michealangelo?" Splinter asked. "I had a hard time putting my mask on." The orange turtled giggled, knowing he was lying.

He was actually looking through the pictures of Donnie and was daydreaming about him. But, Mikey just smiled innocently. 'Nobody has to know.' Mikey said in his head, smiling clearly.

"Leo, Raph, Hajime." Master Splinter ordered.

Leo and Raph nodded and fought, but made sure to show mercy. Meanwhile, Mikey wasn't sure where to sit. Boy, he really wanted to sit and talk to Donnie but he also thought he needed some space.

★

God, that was so embarrassing. Running out of that room. Oh my cheeks must be really red by now!

Oh hey- is Mikey coming to sit by me?...

Oh shell no.

I shift uncomfortably as he sits closely to me, both of us crossing our legs. "So... Donnie?" Asked Mikey, looking up at me. "Yeah, Mikey?" I ask, hoping he wasn't going to ask about last night.

"What happened last night?" He questions. "Oh, um- I...-" I tremble as I stutter over my words. What is happening...?

Mikey looks at me with his glimmering baby blue eyes, and I just stare back with my dull reddish-brown eyes. I look away from Mikey and say "I forgot about... My... Promise..." I look back at Mikey who seems to have tears forming through his eyes.

"But... You promised!" He whines and runs out of the dojo.

"Mikey, wait!" I call out. No response.

I look back at sensei, Leo, and Raph, eyeing me. I sweat as I walk out of the dojo, going to apologize.

★

Of course I was acting! I wasn't really sad... Maybe a smidge though. I just want- scratch that- need Donnie's attention.

You could say i'm...

I chuckle as I run to my room slam the door hard, then plop myself down on my bed and start crying again.

Then I hear footsteps. I hope it's Donnie!!!~

I cry louder as a certain someone creaks open my door, thinking I am unable to hear.

I squint open my eyes to see Donnie quietly closing the door, and making his way toward me. I wrap myself up in my blanket and laugh in my head as I cry out loud.

"No, no, Mikey... I'm so, so, so, sorry." Donnie said, trying to sooth me. I feel his hands touching my back as I tremble, holding in my laughter. "Don't cry because of my.. Weak actions. I promise- for real this time- I will do whatever you want tonight."

I slowly stop 'crying' and unwrap myself to hug Donnie. I blush and immediately stop crying when I feel his warm, soft, delicate hands touching the back of my shell.

I rub my face in his shoulders, and I feel Donnie shudder.

"Last night, Mikey..." Donnie starts. "I was working on a project. I shouldn't have ditched you for that, I guess-"

The moment he said 'I guess-' I start bawling in his arms again, right in his ear.

"No, no! D-don't cry i'm sorry! I shouldn't have said that!" Donnie pleaded to stop but I continued to sob. Donnie then pulled me back and kissed my freckled cheek.
