Donnie x Reader (2012)

"Yame!" Splinter called ending the sparring session between you and Raph. "Not bad for a girl," He smirked. "Yeah?" You ask and knock him back with a surprising kick. "Neither are you," You smile devilishly extending your hand to help him up. "Aw son you got told!" Mikey laughed from where he sat earning a glare from his older brother. "Shut it Mikey." He grumbled. Kneeling beside the others you look over to see who'd spar next, Donnie and April. You gave soft blithe smile watching as Donnie went easy on the red head. A pang of jealousy struck you just the slightest, "He's never gone easy on me..." Sure he's never had to but the sentiment was nice right? Whelp you guess it just comes with the way you are, one heck of a tomboy. Dressing comfy casual, picking all natural over make up, usually keeping your (H/L) (H/C) out of you face in some way, and even the way you walked. For awhile it seemed just fine to be just another one of the guys it meant you got invited to spar more often, read / talk about comics, and you weren't treated differently just because you were a girl though often under estimated. "I just don't see how you do it..." April said stretching and rubbing her sore areas as you headed out of the dojo. "I grew up doing stuff like this er.. well sort of. Boxing and wrestling is quite a strain but atop that taking karate classes from a young age? You'll get used to it," You say playfully nudging her. "Yeah, right. So I guess the guys have patrol tonight, wanna hang and do some girl stuff?" She asked piping up. "Seriously?" You ask quirking a brow eyeing her up and down. "Yeah it'll be fun to hang with another girl for a change." She shrugged. "Maybe another time. I really have some things I need to take care of tonight, a lot of home work to catch up on." You shrug as you head out to the streets. "Oh alright then. Talk to you later!" April called as you went in different directions.

Barging into your room and snatching your note book from your (F/C) backpack, you slump onto your bed. "Stupid trig..." You mutter going over the equations again and again. After a couple of hours you let the book slide off your bed and sigh loudly. "I just can't focus!" You whisper shout knowing your parent(s) in the other room would be sleeping. Stomping from your room to go grab a glass of water you jump at the sound of your T-phone going off. "Hey Donnie," You whisper sitting on the living room floor. "Oh nothing... just struggling to finish some homework," You sigh running your hand through your (H/L) hair. "I guess I could use some help... but aren't you supposed to be on patrol?" You ask tracing a circle over your knee. "Already? Well I guess if you have nothing else to do I'd really appreciate it if you could help me," You shrug with a small amount of blush dusting your cheeks. After hanging up you retreated to your room to grab your books, a small desk lamp, a few extra pencils and your note book setting them all down on the coffee table. "Just what do I see in that little dork anyway?" You mutter drinking some more water. Not that there isn't anything to like but you were near opposites, where Donnie liked to calculate you jumped into action feeling out the details as you went along, where he was organized you were a slob though not exceedingly, he was shy and you had no boundaries yet still here you were crushing on a human sized talking turtle. And the nerd at that. It was about ten minuets of silence before a soft tapping resounded from your window, jumping to your feet you opened the window to be greeted by a gaped tooth smile. "Thanks for coming," You shrug and make room for him to come in. "Your parents aren't home?" He asked looking around. "Afraid so, but they're sleeping." You shrug closing the window. "Aren't you worried about waking them?" He asked a little nervous. "Don't worry they're knocked out. It'll take the apocalypse and then some to wake them," You snort and cover your mouth from embarrassment earning a soft chuckle from the purple banded turtle. "Oh shut up," You pout looking from him.

"So that's how you do it?" You ask looking over the page. "Yep, see you're starting to get it." He smiled grading over your work. "Thanks Donnie, you really saved my skin here." You say poking at one of the ground down pencils on the table. "What're friends for?" He asked setting the note book down with satisfaction. "Right friends..." You mutter. "Hm?" He asked turning toward your dimly lit face. "N-nothing, it's getting late. I should probably get to bed," You say picking up the trash and study materials. "Here let me help you," he said grabbing for some stuff to help put away. "No that's okay. You should head out before my parent(s) get up for their midnight pee," you lie finishing up. "But it's past midnight," he looked at the clock. "Exactly which means it'll be soon," you reason giving him a quick hug and heading to your room. Sleep hadn't come easy which really screwed you at school, you nearly slept all day. "Whoa you look like crap (Y/N)," Casey said as he and April approached you. "Oh thanks. I just... didn't get much sleep last night," You yawned. "All that homework you had to catch up on? If it's that hard you can study with me and Donnie. He is really good with that stuff," She smiled. "I know... after patrol he came and helped me out. I just wasn't feeling too well and so it kept me up," You lie covering your mouth for another yawn. "Are you going to be up for training?" April asked as you guys entered the lair. "Yeah yeah, I'll be fine." You wave her off setting your backpack down with hers. "Hey girls, Casey have hockey practice today?" Mikey asked reading a comic hanging upside down on the couch. "Yep. He might swing by after," April answered stretching out. "Today Donnie will spar with (Y/N)," Splinter instructed. "Great now we get to see Donnie get his but handed to him by a girl," Raph laughed and quickly shut his mouth under his father's stare. It didn't take long for you to begin loosing ground, Donnie never held back knowing full well just how much you could handle yourself but today was different you were drained. You decided to roll with his attacks letting them run off like water, preparing for the attack and moving with it as not to take too much damage but one wrong step was all it took. Crack! Donnie's Bo staff landed one hard smack right upside your head, kneeling and holding your hand over the quick forming welt you felt everyone's eyes on you. "(Y/N), I am so so sorry!" Donnie said reaching out to you. Taking a shaky deep breath you stood up with no help bowing to your opponent, and with Splinter's instruction went to get an ice pack from the freezer. "Are you okay?" Leo asked entering the kitchen and grabbing a cheese pop. "Yeah... I guess it's just one of those things that comes with being on of the guys," you smile softly and sigh. "Let me see," Leo said pulling your hand away from the welt and hissing. "Ouch," He said looking over the damage. "Heh... yeah, I'm certainly awake now." You joke with a quick eye roll.

"She just went easy on him, I know it!" Raph argued with Mikey as they exited the dojo. "How's your head?" April asked turning you to look at her. "I'm fine! It was one smack..." You grumbled pulling her hand from your jaw and turning away. "Well Donnie feels really bad about it," April barked. "He shouldn't. I'm just like one of the guys and can take care of myself, if I hadn't settled into the defensive I wouldn't have gotten hit." You argued. "You aren't just one of the guys. You're a girl..." April retorted but snapped her mouth shut. "That's why you don't want to hang out with me. You're just so content being one of the guys," She snapped sounding a little hurt. "That's not true I had a lot of homework to do yesterday! You think I don't wish I could be looked at the way you are?" You snap back. April's and Leo's eyes widen at your remark, Leo quickly grabs his frozen treat and flees the kitchen. "If that's so then... you know what the past is in the past. Come stay over my place tonight and we'll hang and do some girly things as well as keep up on homework," April told more than suggested. "...Alright, fine." You sigh as you pull out your phone to let your parent(s) know. After packing an over night bag you headed to April's place, you haven't been there since Kirby was mutated and cured. "Hey Mr. O'neil, nice to see you back to normal." You smile shaking his hand. "It's good to see you too (Y/N)," He returned your smile. "I can't believe you talked me into this..." You grumble as April worked on your nails. "I can't believe I actually managed to," She softly laughed. After finishing up all your homework you and April passed out in the living room with bags of chips and empt soda cans littered about. Waking up early which was not exactly your forte, April picked out some make up and hair accessories to girly you up for the day. After styling your hair, natural looking make up, she helped girl up your outfit. Your usual skinny jeans were fine but instead of the printed or band t-shirt you were given a plain dark v cut shirt and a white camisole. "Wow..." April marveled at her work. "Hey red whose this new cutie?" Casey asked greeting you at the school entrance. "Oh shut it Casey," You growl and push him. "(Y/N)? Whoa what happened? You look different," he smiled teasingly. "I gave her a make over," April answered smiling ear to ear. School trudged along so slowly with Casey and a few others tossing flirtatious phrases your way, but finally school was over and now it was time to head over to the turtles place. "Hope your ready to train today, wouldn't want you to break a nail." Casey teased and you gave him a good hard punch to the gut. "Trust me, it wouldn't matter if I did." You spat. "Hey guys," Mikey greeted from behind a new comic book. "Hey Mikey!" You call setting your bag down and plopping onto the couch. He slowly peeked from behind his book and did a double take. "Donnie! What did you do? You have beaten some strange face out of (Y/N)! It's horrible!" Mikey yelled wrapping his arms around your head and squeezing you. "Don't worry (Y/N) we'll fix this! You'll be all better soon," He fake sobbed with his lip quivering. "Mikey let go, you'll mess up my hair!" You shout and blush at the phrase that just escaped your lips.

"Since when did you care? You hear that guys girlie over here dosen't want to mess up her hair," Raph shouted over his shoulder. "Shut up." You shout pushing Mikey off. "Whoa..." Donnie stops and stares. "I gave her a make over! What do you guys think?" April asked pinching your cheek. "Attractive... I mean. She looks nice," Donnie stuttered fiddling with his latest project in his hands making you blush. "I guess it's better than that nasty welt Donnie left yesterday," Raph shrugged. "Maybe you'd like one for your own?" You ask stomping on his carapace. "He's just teasing you..." Leo wrapped his arm around your shoulders trying to lead you away from Raph. "Maybe you should sit this one out sweetheart, wouldn't want you to mess up your hair." Raph teased and you punched him square in the jaw. "I may look girly but I am not some delicate little flower," you snarl cracking your knuckles. "Damn son you got one punched!" Mikey erupted with laughter. After training everyone went their separate ways, April and Casey went to see a movie, Mikey went back to reading his comics, Raph stormed off to his room, and Leo re watched an episode of space heroes. Instead of heading back home as you usually did you walked over to Donnie's lab, finding him muttering as he worked. "Hey..." You say walking in. "Huh? Oh (Y/N) what's up?" He asked turning from his work table. "Oh nothing, I just wanted to make sure you weren't beating yourself up over what happened yesterday." You shrug walking over to him. He sighed and looked deep into your (E/C) eyes, "Look. I'm really sorry about that. I knew you were tired and I took advantage of that..." "Isn't that the rule of the game? Do what ever it takes to win? You got me fair and square ok? So don't go beating yourself up over it," You smiled pulling yourself up to sit on a clear spot of the desk. "Still... I didn't treat you fairly. I guess it's a little hard remembering to take it easy on a girl," He sighed with a half smile. "You take it easy on April..." You mutter. "You really think so? I guess it's a little easier since she's trained with us longer... and I just get side tracked when I look at you." He admitted. Your mouth fell agape and your eyes wide, "Wh-what did you say?" You stutter trying to calm your nerves. "Well I mean your such a pretty girl... I guess I just wanted to impress you. You're not like other girls, you're feisty and spirited so I just figured showing how much of a fighter I can be..." He started. "But I thought you like April..." You stated looking down into your palms. "I did... but the guys were right. She was the only girl I ever met and after meeting you I realized that I liked you more," He said with his chocolate brown eyes searching yours for a response. "I-it's okay if you don't feel..." He started but you cut him off with a kiss. "Of course I feel the same," You whisper kissing him again and melting in submission allowing him to take the lead. If there ever was a moment that you damned being just another one of the guys it was now and you never wanted to go back, not with Donnie at least.
