“Oh I can tell Donnie is in trouble.”
Mikey snaps his head to glare and hiss at the offending slider. Leo drops his head down almost in his shell with fear, seeming to realize that Doctor Delicate Touch was out and ready to go.
“Uh, wha did Donnie do, Mikey?” Raph rubs the back of his head, his voice showed his confusion on why the box turtle was made at the softshell. Mikey inhales deeply, trying to clear his mind before turning to Raph.
“We had date plans tonight and he is an hour late! Locked up in his lab!” Mikey says, starting to yell at the lab doors. He knew that Donnie had soundproofed the lab and his music was playing inside but it felt good to yell at the doors.
Leo and Raph look at each other with a worried look, mouths slightly wide. Mikey spins to stare at them, both brothers instantly trying to talk over each other. The youngest’s blue eyes go wide in realization.
“What did you two do?!” Mikey screeched, moving fast to grab both of the guilty parties’ mask tails. Leo makes a loud squeal as he gets yanked by his baby brother, Raph grunting as Mikey scales his back.
“We may have sorta told Dee you were out with Barry still. IN OUR DEFENSE WE THOUGHT YOU WERE!” Leo panics, scrambling to get away from Mikey’s rage. The brother-wearing brother reaches an arm back to grab Mikey’s shell, trying to shake him loose of both Raph and the mask tails.
“Mike, let go of me, will ya? We are sorry. That's our bad. Why don’t we let Leo here go get Donnie from the lab, tell him WE messed up and not ya, while ya go wait and calm down in your room? How does that sound Mike?” The former leader looks at the one in his grasp, shooting a look at Leo when he started to protest. Mikey looks at his big brothers, watching them with an all-knowing glare.
“Fine. Tell him to meet me in my room.” Mikey is dropped out of Raph’s grip, tucking into a roll before popping back up. Starting the walk to his room, Mikey takes a few steps before turning around to take a final look at the red and blue brothers.
“And if he doesn’t come to my room, you both will be on your own for food for a month.” With that Mikey left the hall, leaving behind two panicking brothers.
The smallest turtle lays on the lovely thing he calls a bed, a giant orange bean bag with more behind it to act as a headboard. Mikey looks up at the posters covering the wall, smiling at the Little Jacob’s Ladder poster.
“I remember giving that to you when you were 6.” A monotone voice says from the doorway, though Mikey can hear the small sentiment in Donnie’s voice.
“Dee!” Mikey cried, hopping up to rush his brother, leaning up to press a kiss to his cheek. Donnie smiles at Mikey, catching his chin with one hand before kissing him sweetly.
“I'm sorry I'm late. Nardo and Raph said you were still out with Barry and I had assumed they were correct when I can't trust them to know any of our locations at any given moment.” Mikey giggles at Donnie’s words, grabbing Donnie’s free hand and pulling him towards his bed.
“Well, that's okay! You're here now! That's all that matters. Besides, I decided what I want to do on our date. Lay down.” Mikey pushes Donnie down, smiling at the purple-wearing turtle. Donnie wiggles his eyebrows up at the other, causing a stream of giggles to erupt from the two.
“No silly, I wanna watch a movie. Do your thing, Dee!” Mikey climbs into the chair, laying his head and hand on Donnie’s patron and snuggling up to him. The pillow chuckles as he summons a projector and connects it to his technology.
“What movie would you like to watch, my darling Angelo? I can do anything that you want for the low low fee of kisses.” Donnie tries to be smooth, ultimately failing when he smacked himself in the face. Another string of giggles is heard from the box turtle.
“Put on one of those dino nature documentaries and ill let you info dump about dinosaurs.” Mikey snuggles in closer, pressing soft kisses to the hand he had stolen from Donnie.
The Softshell starts one of the said documentaries, wrapping an arm around Mikey to pull him closer. The two lay there, watching the movie, just enjoying each other’s company.
“That's a Pachycephalosaurus. They have a large done head that helped defend them during battle like my battle shell or it's also theorized that it helped attract mates.” Mikey listens to Donnie’s soft soothing words as he talks about the large dinosaur on the projector. And with that, slowly but surely, the two drifted off to a deep deep sleep.
