I sat, working on one of my many experiments in Y/N's room. She'd invited me over to hang out with her, but I had to bring my work with me. Leo had insisted on me trying to work on solving the problem to Shredder's mind control serum. I had to synthesize what little amount of the chemical I had left, then create an antidote.

I sighed heavily, leaning back in the chair. Y/N looked up from her book. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Just thinking." I replied, looking down at the unsuccessful concoction I'd made.

"You think too much," she stated, getting up and walking over to observe my experiments, "Maybe you just need to get out of your head for a while."

She went over to the radio in the corner, tuning it until The A-Team by Ed Sheeran came on. She walked back over to me, sitting down beside me and quietly humming along to the lyrics.

"Soooo," she started, "What is it you're trying to concoct?"

I paraphrased an explanation of the mind control serum, and she nodded thoughtfully. She closed her eyes, her brows furrowed in deep thought, still humming along to the lyrics.

"That's it!" she exclaimed, her eyes snapping open, "What if you set the substance in the subterfuge for about ten minutes, then froze it directly afterward? That would be enough to excite the molecules and then freeze them in their excited state, which would give you an opportunity to study them to a fuller extent!"

I stared at her, amazed. "That's... genius! Why didn't I think of that before?"

"Because you think too much," Y/N insisted, "You get caught up in one idea, and then you can't take your mind off it. If you took some time to just... be, then a whole new realm of ideas opens itself up to you."

"Whoa," I said, "That was a really poetic explanation."

"Hey, I've been reading. I can't help it sometimes. Just close your eyes, and listen."

I raised a 'brow', but did what she said. My ninja senses started to kick in, listening intently to sounds and taking in every sensation to replace my lack of sight. I heard a patter on the window pane... It had probably started to rain. The radio droned on, Ed Sheeran singing:

They say, she's in the class A-Team, stuck in her daydreams, been this way since 18 but lately...

I heard low singing, and my attention turned to Y/N. She harmonized with the song quietly but in perfect pitch,

Her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting, crumbling like pastries, and they scream, the worst things in life come free to us.

Y/N was so intriguing. Her enthusiasm was unending, and her generosity was boundless. I started thinking about the way she smiled every time she read Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or how she joked around with me about asking April out. I felt myself beginning to blush, and my puzzled frown began to be replaced by a soft smile.

Y/N prodded me, making me open my eyes, "You can't tell me you don't feel even a little better, right?"

I nodded, turning back to the mess of chemicals and equipment. "If we combine the Reagent-X with the chemical from Aurrum while it's still in the subterfuge, then freeze it as quickly as possible, I could also be able to find out how to the two react together to create the mind control serum."

"See?" she exclaimed, standing up and smiling, "I knew you could do it!"

"Thanks," I replied, grinning.

My T-Phone began to buzz, and I saw April's number. Y/N saw it too, and she gestured for me to pick up quickly.

"H-Hi April," I started, making Y/N facepalm.

"Hey Donnie!" April replied, "I'm coming over to the lair soon, and I was wondering if you could help me study up on some math?"

Normally, I would've jumped at the chance to hang out with April, but I wanted to spend more time with Y/N. I glanced at her, who was watching me intently, trying to glean information from my expression.

"...Yeah, okay," I said, turning my attention back to April, "Give me ten minutes and I'll be there!"

"Thanks Donnie," she exclaimed, "You're a lifesaver!"

We both hung up and I turned to Y/N. "I gotta meet April in a few minutes. She and I are gonna study."

"Well," Y/N began, "You should try asking her out the next time she calls you."

I rolled my eyes, laughing nervously as I began to clean up the supplies. I put everything in my bag and walked to the window.

"Thank you, Y/N," I said, turning to her before I left.

She smiled and hugged me quickly. "Anytime, D."
