——————————————————————————————————

Y/n peeks their head into Donnie's lab. They see him sitting at his workbench. They wave a bit, walking in and greeting him. "Hey, Donnie! Are you busy?"

He glances up from his phone at Y/n, looking back while speaking. "Not really, I managed to wrap up another experiment pretty quickly. Why do you ask?"

Y/n moves closer, looking a bit nervous. "Well, the winter play is coming up, and I really need to practice my lines. I just need you to listen, and tell me if I suck. Is that alright?"

Donnie looks at them a moment before nodding, turning to look at them. "Sure. I’ll be blunt with you if you sound terrible."

"Thank you!" Y/n takes a deep breath, getting into character. They begin to wear a sad expression.

"Ah, dear Juliet,
Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe
That unsubstantial Death is amorous,
And that the lean abhorred monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?"

Donnie nods, thinking for a moment. "That was decent, but maybe try putting a little more sad and forlorn voice to it.  He just found his wife dead, after all."

Y/n follows, actual tears pricking their eyes

"For fear of that, I still will stay with thee
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again."
they look down, allowing a tear to slip down their face.

Donnie exhales, quietly laughing a bit. "Now THAT was great, you really got into the character."

Y/n, still in character, walks towards Donnie, gesturing around the lab.

"Here, here will I remain
With worms that are thy chambermaids; O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,"
They turn away, quieting ever so slightly.
"...And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh."

Donnie is quiet for a moment, surprised and a tad impressed. "....Fantastic. You never told me you were a good actor."

Y/n shushes Donnie playfully, continuing.

"Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! And-"
They pause, breaking character. "Uh-"

Donnie raises a brow, leaning forward. "And..? Do you need a line or something?"

Y/n gulps, blushing, and turns to Donnie.

"....A-and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous.... a righteous kiss"

Y/n leans into Donnie, struggling to stay in character.

"A dateless bargain to engrossing death!"

Y/n takes in a breath, before slamming their lips into Donnie's. The kiss was filled with passion, but also sorrow, as if Y/n were really speaking their final words to Donnie.

Donnie's eyes go wide as he feels the kiss and is left speechless.

Y/n, still blushing bright red, pantomimes pulling something from their jacket.

"Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
they raise the imaginary bottle
Here’s to my love!"

Y/n takes a swig of the imaginary bottle of poison, quickly falling to their knees with a cry. Their voice grows a bit raspy as they speak their next line.

"O true apothecary!
Thy drugs are quick. Thus… with a kiss… I die."

Y/n falls fully, twitching as the "poison" kills them. After a moment, they peek an eye open to look at Donnie.

Donatello is still stunned, speechless, as he realizes what just happened and is completely red in the face. Y/n gets up and looks at Donnie nervously. "Uh... a-and scene?"

Donatello sits still for a moment before talking. "Cough ahem, that was… very good. Very good."

Y/n looks gratefully at Donnie. "T-thank you! Was it too cheesy, though? I don't know if I oversold it…"

Donnie shakes his head. "No… it was a perfect delivery… I’m at a loss for words really…"

Y/n grins, giving a playful bow. "W-well thank you, Donnie."

After a few seconds of awkward silence, they speak up.

"I-I'm sorry…"

"It-it’s okay, I’m just a little shocked is all… but it was really great."

"I-I should've asked beforehand, b-but I didn't wanna break character and- ugh I'm so horrible! I'm so sorry if I made you uncomfortable!" Y/n looks a bit panicked as they speak.

"No! No, it was- it was a great scene… I really enjoyed it.  It’s just that… it caught me off guard… You’re a very good actor, you really got into it…"

Y/n blushes, looking away. ".....I-It wasn't..... I-”

Donnie looks up and sees the sadness in Y/n’s eyes. His chest tightens as realization strikes him. "I’m guessing it was more than just acting…"

"Y/n is silent before nodding, blush spreading across their face. They look very genuinely guilty for feeling this way. "I-I understand if you don't feel the same.. No hard feelings." Y/n smiles, but they're teary-eyed.

Donnie furrows his brows. He looks away awkwardly. "We’ve been friends for a long time right? This won’t get in the way of that… and…." He hesitates. "And, yes, I do feel the same way."

Y/n looks up, totally dumbfounded. ".....Huh?"

Donatello leans in close, trying to keep his indifferent demeanor, but clearly very nervous. "I said that yes, I do have similar feelings for you like you do for me, I just didn’t know how to say it."

Y/n looks utterly shocked, and their lip begins to quiver. tears, real ones, run down their face before they can stop them.

Donnie looks surprised, not really sure what to do. He's never been the best at comfort. He offers them a tissue, and a pathetic, "Don’t be sad." in an attempt to console Y/n.

They continue to cry. "I-I lo-love you…" Y/n croaks out, sobbing. "An-nd I'm," they sniff, "I'm not sad.... I'm just....." Y/n chokes out another sob, pulling Donnie in for a hug. He can feel them shaking. "I-I'm so happy.." They whisper.

Donnie blushes, hugging back nervously, feeling their soft hair pressed against his face.

"I’m happy too…" He admits. "And I want you to know that all I want is to make you happy."

Y/n giggles, still crying. "I love you...."

"I love you too…. I’ve… always wanted to say that."

Y/n pulls away, wiping their tears. "Ugh.. I get all gross and sticky when I cry...." They look up at Donnie. "Thank you...."

"You’re welcome.  I like having you around, you’re so… bright."

Y/n glances down at donnie's lips, blushing a bit and looking away. Donnie smiles as he sees Y/n blushing.

"O-oh uh...Do you… wanna try again?"

Y/n chuckles, nodding. "I'd like that.."

Y/n kisses Donnie softly. It's short and loving, and everything they'd imagined. "Hehe... sorry for getting all emotional on you there....."

Donnie laughs, giving Y/n another short kiss. "Don't be. You've always been a little overdramatic."
