PART 2

Lab at Night 10:31 pm

Donnie felt uneasy, like something was bothering him. Of course there was that thing with y/n and him, he knew deep inside he had to apologize to them, but he also knew he was far too prideful to say something… 

When the both of you got married, he told them that his work consumed most of his time, most of his life…but even at this warning they did not want to step back…

“You think i don’t know that? I have been working by your side for a bunch of years know so yeah…i know how your life can be 95% work…but… if you let me, i want to be that 5% left and who knows? maybe i will gain more terrain over time!”

He smiled at the thought of you both that day when the decision was made, your smile wide and eyes filled with happy tears, memories of happier times.

"We are so childish. When the shift is over, I'm gonna compensate for everything. I’ll fix all this mess." He thought.

He start thinking in every posible route for that talk, but in every single path the result was the same. They were gonna talk, probably gonna start fighting, maybe start crying again…oh dear Einstein no tears, he’s weak when they start crying… but then he was gonna apologize because now he knows his pride is not worthy of losing them. Waking up to a empty bed, seeing them everyday in a cold silence, colder than the space outsite the earth, not talking…not kissing… 

Who would say that him, the great Donatello Hamato, the one that dislikes physical touch most of the time. Who is the one protecting the whole base, THE MOST INTELLIGENT LIVING BEING!...would miss the touch of his love…their arms… resting his head on their legs and sleeping even when he knew he had more important things to do than staying in his partner's lap.

But…

Nothing is more important than them.

The softshell looked at the clock on the panel on his wall.

1 am 

He then stare at his work between his hands, it was incomplete but if this works they way he wanted, this stupid machine was gonna give them a heads up everytime a Krang started getting closer. Also, it would scan the persons approaching the resistance…a few weeks ago Michel had come with concerning news.

Apparently he found two krang-zombies but…they were fearly awake, of course they were visibly covered with krang parasites and when they got closer, the krang-zombies started attacking the whole team. 

There were no fatalities but…also no information and that was the thing that annoy the softshell the most.

Leonardo ordered to be more careful to any krang-zombie, but that made him worry.

If the krangs were playing with the bodys that they were infecting…then anything can happen, of course, everybody knows that those creatures are smart enough to play with biological material…but they had never showed any interest in doing things like this.

“Maybe…they want us to help the sick and…” Said Michel but he could not end that sentence.

“And attack the hideouts without them knowing where we are…they are getting impatient” ended Leonardo with an angry face.

The krangs were starting to attack not only physically…but mentally too, attacking the hope of the ones that lost their friends and families by using puppets of them.

“If only they could see that his work was gonna save a lot of lifes that could be in risk because of those stupid 2.0 krang-zombies” said donnie with annoyance and then…he remembered what he was thinking to begin with…

His stupid brain that hiperfocuses in the logical things but left behind the rest, Michel had told him again and again that not everything was about numbers and logic, but if the world could be just like THAT, if not everyone in this dumb dumb world could focus more in the importance of logics, the point of doing the math first and seeing that his way is not as bad as everyone tries to make it look like…it was not his intention to hurt them…it’s just that, his work is way more important than…

…No…

Wait

No

Nothing is more important than them…the persons he loves…

Is just…he cannot help everyone if he is not working, if he was working instead of resting maybe he would have foresing that new move in the krang plans and be wary of them…if the Krang notice the reaction of their teams at his new toy they will start doing more of them and worse, they would be better that the one his little brother saw back then.

The resistance don’t need him to be sleeping, they need him working! Damn it! why nobody can see it?, He is the only one smart enough to look ahead of the Krangs movements, if he was not working…What was his purpose?...He NEEDED to be useful for the people…for his family…for his love. 

Donnie let out a big sigh and turned his gaze to the ceiling above him, once again he is making excuses for his behavior…AGAIN. He punched the table where he is working making everything on it jump or fall.

“Damn bro, what has that table done to you? Jeez you nearly broke whatever that thing is” Oh that voice, the voice of his nightmares most of the time.

“What do you want Nardo, it’s not a good time” answered Donnie, annoyed without even turning the chair to look at his twin entering his lab.

Donnie stared at the machine that he was working on, without thinking, with no need of paying any attention to it. He had at least half of the structure of his machine done, this thing may be the key for security of the whole base, and let them rest with ease at least for a few weeks…or a waste of time and resources.

“Hey, Don” Leonardo brought him back again to reality.

“WHAT?” He snapped at him but only then, they looked at each other’s eyes.

Leonardo looked tired, this whole war did a number on every living being, but to his brother, to him it destroyed him on different levels. He looked older than his real age, his chasm is now way bigger than Raph ever was and his eyes don’t shine as bright as before. Donatello would never admit it but… he missed that shine in his twin eyes. Is not that his twin stoped being annoying with his puns or behavior…it just that sometimes when he thinks nobody is watching…he can see his twin losing his light for a bit before masking again.

“I was not gonna put my nose in whatever is happening between you and your spouse but this–”

“Good, then don’t put your nose in my marital problems” cut his twin without looking, without stoping working.

“Jar jar, common Dee, you know that i would never–” once again, Donnie interrupted him.

“And then here you are, bothering…again”

His brother made a growl and proceeded to cross his arms over his chest. While Donnie continued building his thing, never stopping being useful even when his twin was bothering him.

“YOUR LOVE was crying a few hours ago” says Leo, and only with those few words he had Donnie standing from his chair and looking directly at him.

“Are they ok?! why were they crying? are they hurt? is there any problem? is–” Leonardo let out a little laugh, not with malice, the whole scene was just to “cute” for him. 

In front of him instead of the grumpy twin of his that probably was sulfuring about hundred problems at the same time, moving his hand faster than his brain could think, that just a few minutes ago was yelling at him for being annoying and all that stuff, now that very same turtle is looking at him with worry all over his face, any piece of anger that was there now was replaced, and that look made him smile. There were few moments in life when his brother showed this type of worry for someone outside the family.

“He is so in love for them” though Leonardo

The red eared slider took donnie by his shoulders, so he would shut up and be still for enough time for him to explain everything. “They are ok!, Calm down dude” 

Donnie visibly relaxed after these words, and just stared at his twin knowing that those words were not the last ones.

“As i was saying, i’m not trying to meddle in your marriage or anything but you need to understand that after you both got married, they also became part of our family, that means if YOU make them cry i have to act as a good brother-in-law and come here to give you a talk”

“That’s not what a brother-in-law does…also that’s not your duty as a leader?” donnie looked at his brother raising an eyebrown

“...Why you both keep saying that?” Leo said irritated but continued “yes BUT i’m doing this because you and the other dumb dumb are part of the family, ‘cause they are YOUR other half…and as twins your are my other half, so that makes this whole situation a problem that at least should be talked about between both of us.”

At these statement Donnie just look at his brother, his twin and gave him a small smile and resigned to lisening whatever was gonna say.

“Aaaaaaaand also i just saved your sorry ass of having a session with doctor feelings” 

“I hate doctor feelings” was the only answer donnie gave with a shiver making leo laugh a bit more

“Look, i know that whatever happened was your fault” at this statement donnie made a “Hey!” that Leo cut before it could grow more “come on, you know is AT LEAST half true.”

Donnie didn’t say a thing, giving Leo a point.

“I don’t care for details, really, if you don’t want to tell me is fine but i think you both really need to talk, because what they told me is… kinda of… um… not sure if sad is the correct word but i guess is the closest thing i can come with.” said Leo while scratching his head.

“Did… did they say anything to you?” Donnie's voice was so small, almost afraid to know the answer but concerned enough to search for it “are they mad?”

“I will not tell you what exactly they said but… i can tell you that they are sad in a way that they are starting to have thoughts that will be a problem later if you both don’t fix this soon”

Donnie didn’t say anything so leo continued “Look, i know you love them, god knows that you are happy by their side. We, as your family, know your way of love, but sometimes you can be kind of… rude. You try to do all things on your own, even when we have told you before that you don’t need to be working 24/7… yes… we are at war and is… all of this is just bullshit… and that probably without you we would be far worse than we are now,  but you also need to rest and enjoy your partner while you can… since this war can take everything we love…”

The brothers look at each other, pain all over their faces, different kinds of pain; one of fear to run the same luck as his twin, the other with the pain of someone that lives with regret.

“I know you miss L/L too…” Donnie tried saying in an attempt to soothe his twin’s old pain.

“We are not talking about them or me for the matter” leo said with a hard voice and gave a big sigh “i’m just saying that you should try and talk”

“I…I know that” 

Both brothers stayed silent for a bunch of minutes before Leonardo broke it.

“Have you slept at all?” questioned 

“Scoff, as if i had the time. I’m working in something for the 2.0 Krang-zombies” answered Donnie looking at the table were his invention was laying…half build, half operational.

“And what that thing is? It looks like that killer robot from the movie of weird small dolls with numbers on their backs” start saying Leo getting closer and looking at the piece “yeah! that one that made Raph and Mikey had nightmare for like a whole week or so”

Donnie looked as his twin perplexed, he did not know what surprised him more: the fact of Leo remembering a movie that they watched when they were like 6 or the fact of Leo remembering ONE SINGLE  CHARACTER of a 2009 movie that they watched only once.

“When i finish it” Donnie started to say, ignoring the question “it will help us scan the persons entering our safe zone and keeping and eye out for the krangs getting close”

“Scan the persons?” asked Leo looking at his brother 

“I build it for the 2.0 Krang-zombies as i just told you, do you ever listen to me?”

“Yeah but you usually made things in the computer, like programs and all that stuff. It has been a while since you actually build something outsite the cars or something for the base” said Leo “The krang-pupets also put you alert?”

“Krang…puppets?” he could not be serius

“yeah, the troups haven’t seen one since Mikey, but we are all wary…The fact that they still could talk and Mikey could not heal them…”

“Yeah…”

But before Donnie could say anything Leo spoke

“Let’s go”

The softshell look at him confused “Go were?”

“To the communication room, it’s like 4 and half or so” 

“What? No, it’s around 2 am, I looked a few minutes ago and–” it was in fact 4:43 am, he had been working so much that lost the notion of time “It’s 4:41…but what’s the use of going? They are probably working and waiting for their shift to end”

“You my brother, are ZERO romantic” Leo smiled at the annoyed face of his twin “Their shift ends at 6am right? Then you both could crack a few lines and have a smooth beginning when you see each other face to face”

They look at each other…and then “Tired sigh…Fine” 

Leo smiled at his victory and both of them started walking, talking about stupid things Leo wanted him to say over the com that OF COURSE he would never say, because 

a) It was impractical

b) It was stupid

c) He was not gonna give Leonardo another victory

and most importantly!

d) He was gonna say it in private with Y/N and only with them alone

“Common Dee! what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not a matter of life and death, they are literally at the door” questioned a very happy Leonardo

“Says the turtle that hates doing guarding shifts” answered a very annoyed Donatello.

“I hate being still, anyways they have the safest jobs today. It’s fine”

And even at this words, Donatello was still feeling uneasy. They arrived at the central com and looked at the time in the clock on the wall.

4:58 am

TAGS!!

The original autor! @fishsticksloser (Thankyou for letting me work in this history :DD)

And here is the original work

Part 1

In a few hours maybe i will post the second part of this fanfic...of the fanfic HAHHA

This is better… When I finish this project, I will talk with y/n and fix everything…

He sat on one side of the bed but noticed that one pillow was missing, he just ran his hand in the now hollow place of the pillow.

“Y/N?”

When he stood and walked towards the next section of their “home”, he saw them, sleeping on the couch in a very uncomfortable position “Do you really prefer sleeping like this…than with me?” Donnie felt his own heart break. He squatted in front of the couch and his hand was getting close in an attempt to pat their head, but he froze before he could touch a single hair.

If they are sleeping at this time, they will probably do a night watch… I should let them rest…

And just with that, he stood up quietly and walked towards his work again, because at the end of the day, he was the smartest person in the resistance and he was needed more for the people counting on him…even if that means sacrificing his own heart.

⋆｡ ﾟ｡☁︎👾｡ ﾟ｡⋆

You wake up and look in front. 

Right… I slept on the couch…

It’s funny how sad it made you only thinking on this, is not your first time sleeping in the couch but in the past you would wake up with the smell of that leaf water that it was supposed to be “tea”, you were used to wake up with your husband’s voice and a hand patting your head, he used to tell you that if you continue sleeping like that your back was gonna be stiff all day…

All these words in past tense were just destroying you deep inside, because it had been months since the last time you heard him call your name…you barely hear him mumble things about his work when you walk past him but, it is not the same… it never is…

When you sit down you realize a drop falling in your hand.

Your hand runs in your cheek and notice that it is wet, you smile and let out a soft and broken laugh. When did I start crying? was everything you could though, letting the tears run free and in silence. Donnie hated to see you cry, but he’s not here now.

After a few minute you stand up and walk towards your room, it doesn't matter how much your heart hurts and longs for your husband, deep down you know that what he’s doing is far more important than you… deep down you knew when you married him that this could happen, and it happen most of the time… but somehow, this time hurts more.

Maybe because the last thing he said hurt you, maybe because you knew this was stupid and that both of you were too prideful to say sorry first, maybe it was just how much time you both let run…

You go to change your clothes, brush your hair and walk towards the exit past Donnie, who continues working in that project, but this time you stop in before closing the door that leads out of the lab “I hope everything is going well to you” and then you walk away without noticing that this time, Donnie did glance up to look at you, but before he could even say anything, you were already gone, letting him feeling weird, sad.

⋆｡ ﾟ｡☁︎👾｡ ﾟ｡⋆

Night watch 9:43 pm

“Is a quiet night right?”

You look behind you just to find master Leonardo walking to your side.

“Master Leonardo, you should be sleeping” you answer once he is by your side, his night watch was just a few nights a go, he should not be here.

“Master Leonardo? what's with that?” he smiled, pushing your arm a little bit making you smile and giving him a small punch in his arm “How are you doing? i haven’t seen you in the lab, without you there, Donnie is becoming an hermit… not that he wasn’t one before but you get it”

“I have work to do, maybe not as important, but it is still work” you answered, sounding more pissed than you intended to begin with. “it’s just… he is busy”

Leo was looking at you, you both knew each other for a while now as you knew he was trying to understand what had happened between you and his twin. “You know how he gets when he’s too focused on some new project, and also it seem that this new project of his will give us the upper hand in future fights”

“Leonardo” you look up to meet his eyes, feeling more hollow that you were feeling before “You don’t have to give me the whole leader speech, i now that his work is important, that you need him” your eyes close and turn your head down just to look at your hands, looking your left hand you were wearing a glove but you could feel your ring inside it “When i married him, i knew i was not gonna be his priority, don’t get me wrong, i know he loves me just as much as i do… it’s just… I miss him… this war…” when you rise your head you don’t look at Leo, you didn’t have to look at him to know how he was looking at you “This war is becoming more and more difficult, all of us are working harder, trying to live another day… but… he, you, master Mikey and commander O’Neill, you all always take the biggest part and that is wearing all of you out” when you look at Leo, you smile at his face, he was surprised and maybe a little bit happy, not many says this to him… or any of them.

Most people in the resistance know that, yes, but no one says anything else than a simple thank you. Donnie, Master Leonardo, Master MichelAngelo, Commander O’Neill. All of them work day and night to make the lives of all of us a little bit happier than yesterday. Once Master Mikey told you that being a Hamato had the meaning that you will never be alone…but for you… it seems that it also carries a huge burden.

“I’m not his priority and those words never really hurt me, not until now, and i–” your voice choked, you couldn’t say anything else, because that knot in your throat was so big that it was even difficult to breathe.

Leonardo hugged you and with his arm he patted your hair. You were crying, when did you start crying?. 

This is so pathetic…

No one said a thing, Leo just hugged you, at this moment he wasn’t master Leonardo, your boss nor the leader of the resistance, he was just Leo, the twin brother of your husband. He was family and his presence made you feel warm, put your mind at ease, you feel again part of the family.

You know how ridiculous it is to think that for just a tiny fight with your husband you were gonna be kicked out of the family, but sometimes… you just can’t avoid things in the worst.

Night watch 4:58 am

Leonardo had left a while ago, when he saw you were more calmed.

“You should talk to him, he can be an ass when he focuses on something important, but I can assure you, YOU are his priority. He just doesn’t know how to say it well yet”

That's what he said before leaving you again.

You look at the front, a waste land that was once a big and shining city, now is nothing but a graveyard. It was quiet and that let your mind time to think.

Today when I get back to the lab, I'm gonna be making hear me. And apologize for making all this mess. It was something so small that I should have just ignored it… we need to talk and stop being so childish… hehe… so strong heads. 

You smile, having cried a lot and hearing something other than your own voice comforting you made you clear your mind a lot. Now, you are getting impatient and a little bit angsty because your shift ends at 6 am, just one hour until you go and fix everything with your brainy and dumb husband.

Something calls your attention, something shining in front of you but kind of far away from the entrance. You raise your voice-com and get in line with control.

[Guard y/n: There's a light a few meters in front of the east entrance, i’m going to take a look

Control: Got it, take care. It can be the scout group of yesterday, they were supposed to come back today in a few more hours

Guard y/n: Maybe they are hurt, i think they are around 100 mts in front of me.

Control: a few you say?

Guard y/n: is not that much.

Control: fine, come back fast, your shift is almost over]

You start the short journey, it is not that far but you walk under a few rocks so no one can see from where you are coming… just in case.

As you get close by, you see them. Two persons on the floor bleeding out and a yokai with one of his lanterns on, in a sitting position, that's the light you saw. The only problem is that they all faint in plain sight, probably the yokai in his last moment wake turned off his light with faith that someone was gonna see it before passing out.

I hate getting in plain sight alone.

When you get out, in alert of everything, and get close to them you notice that everyone is already gone, it seemed that they were attacked by a krang zombie…

[Control: y/n report]

Something was off… you check them to see if they had a pulse, maybe there was still time. The humans were long gone, that's for sure, but if the yokai did the light thing maybe he was still able to come back.

[Control: Repeat guard y/n report]

When you touched his neck it was cold, really cold, but you felt something.

It’s his pulse?...it felt a little–

[Control: Y/N Answer!]

Donnie? 

Without thinking your hands move to the voice-com to turn it on.

[y/n: Donnie? Why are you outside of your lab? 

Control: do i need a reason?]

You notice how his voice gets calmer after you answer, while your hand searches for the yokai chest to feel his heartbeat.

[y/n: usually someone has to take you away of your lab

control: That was my–

control: that was our very annoying leader, you should come back if they are gone, a scout group can pick them]

Hearing him made your heart beat again.

But before you could answer, your hands touched something cold, metal.

“What?...”

[Control: y/n?]

And everything passes in a matter of seconds, you see the red light shine bright under your touch, between your fingers. You jump back as fast as possible but the explosion is faster, it throws you back with force and you feel your whole body hit something.

Your body feels heavy.

And far.

Really far away.

Original work!!

:DDDD
