Summary
As much as Donnie would like to be a robot and simply keep working and advancing, they were cursed with a human body. A human body with emotional and physical needs. Suddenly, their mode dropped, along with their productivity, and Donnie came to the horrifying conclusion that they were lonely. They missed Mikey’s home cooked meals, now sometimes going far too long without eating. They missed Raph’s enthusiasm and spending time with him. They were even loath to admit they missed Leo’s dumb jokes. And staying up late with Leo when neither could sleep. And ranting to Leo about their day. And listening to Leo’s absurd Jupiter Jim theories. And Leo nagging them about wearing their back brace.
God, Donnie missed their twin.
(Or: Donnie suddenly starts struggling emotionally and physically while in college, but it's a good thing Tim likes to insert himself in other people's business! If only he could help with the random seizures and memory gaps Donnie has been having. A story about college, family, surgery recovery, gay idiots, and Donnie being bad at self care.)
