(MM) Donatello - The Anime Kid

Type: oneshot

[Author's Note]: I didn't grow up in US so I have little to no knowledge about social groups in US schools, and how US schools work in general. Beware of inaccuracies.

Donatello enjoy his high school life so far, he excels in most subjects and has his own people in computer science club. (He still hangs out with his brothers in the meantime, like having lunch together in cafetaria). Life is good, everything is perfect.

Except, it's not. A little bit.

When he first got enrolled in, he expect there are clubs like Japanese club or anime club or something. But no, there isn't. Watching too much anime makes him forget the school system between US and Japan is different.

Meanwhile, you're a regular Japanese and anime enthusiast in the school. The thing is, you're a loner, so no one actually knows your love for anime since you never actually talk about it to anyone. But when you see one of the mutant turtles wearing a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure hoodie to school, you internally screaming and almost shrieking. You want to be friends with him so badly or at least just say "nice hoodie" but everytime he walked past you, no words came out as your anxiety kicks in. Every. Time.

Right now, you're alone in the music room, school already finished and you decide to refresh your mind by playing piano. You decide to play your favorite anime OST. You got lost in the melody for awhile.

What you didn't expect was the hand clapping sound after you finish the piece.

And the Jojo's hoodie mutant turtle guy at the door.

"That was aLIEz from aldnoah.zero, right? You played so good!", Donatello said.

You nod, still taken aback how he listened to you playing piano. Your facial expression makes Donnie thinks he's not welcomed.

"I'm sorry if I interrupt you, I'll leave--",
"No, wait!", you suddenly cry out, this is your chance to talk to him!

"Y-you watch aldnoah.zero?", you asked, nervously.
"Yeah! It's one of my favorite anime!", Donnie replied excitedly.
"Mine too!", you said, your anxiety suddenly gone when you finally found someone with the same anime taste as you.

"I'm Donatello, or Donnie for short", you know his name already as four mutants enrolled to school is big news to anyone.

You tell Donnie your name, and asked him if there's any particular anime OST he wants to listen in piano.

"How about Your Lie in April OST? Since you know, the mc plays piano", Donnie suggesting.
"Do you play violin, by any chance?", you asked while giggling.
"No, I don't", he replied.

You two laughed before you play Nanairo Symphony. Donnie listens while thinking this certainly would blossoms to a new friendship, he's excited there's more anime kid around, as you're glad you finally got to interact with the cool anime hoodie mutant guy.

Maybe you two would be the founders of future anime club in the school, who knows.

[Author's Note]: you can change the OSTs with your own favorite anime OSTs, as two mentioned above are the ones that crossed my mind while writing this.
