Chapter Text
5:00 A.M.
"WAKE UP!" Mikey screamed as he blew an airhorn in my ear. "Gah! Stop doing that!" I yell, throwing the airhorn across the lab. Mikey only laughed and said "Breakfast is ready! It's your favorite!" What's an airhorn to a stack of blueberry pancakes? He left my lab as I got up and got ready to eat.
5:04 A.M.
Leo frowned as he saw me leave from my lab and not my room. "All nighter again? Come on, Donnie I thought I told you-" I cut him off, too tired for the same lecture for the 50th time. "Yeah Yeah, 'We're safe now, nothing to overwork yourself.' I get it. I was just upgrading the lair's security systems and fell asleep. Nothing more, okay?" Leo squinted before sighing and nodding.
5 minutes later...
After breakfast, Leo decided to to the dishes. It was just me and Mikey in the living room with Mikey watching some dumb cartoon he's hooked on while I did work on my laptop. and who knows where Raph is these days? Ever since we defeated Shredder and the Kraang, he's been out more often, doing who knows what. After everything that happened, it's like he can't help but fell like something is coming, even after a year of silence. We moved on. Casey and April got together, much to my dismay, Leo's 18 now, he's no longer a teenager and the foot clan are our allies now. Even Mikey grew up some. But Raph is still vigilant, as if something else is brewing. Makes me wonder what he's actually doing. and why.
10:00 A.M.
Time flew fast, I was barely realized that almost 5 hours had passed. My phone rang. It was April. I answered in an instant. "Hey April, need anything?" God, all these years and I'm still not over her. "Hey, Donnie. I need help tutoring Casey. He forgot to study for a test." I sighed. "Ofcourse he did. I'll be there." "Thanks." I hung up and got ready to help Casey with this dumb test.
30 minutes later...
I knocked on Casey's door. April opened it with an inviting smile. "Glad you came." She said sweetly. I couldn't help but smile back as I said "Anything for a friend."
11:30 A.M.
I was tricked. I thought I was gonna work with April, but she "had to do something" and left me with...him. Casey stopped paying attention minutes ago. "Hey, Don?" He asked. "What?" I tried not to sound as annoyed as I am. "What time is it?" I check the clock on the wall and answered, "12 o'clock. Why?" Casey stopped scribbling and looked at me earnestly. And then he said it.
"I love you."
I froze. I didn't know what to say. He was dating April, and I'm not April. I'm not female, nor am I even a human. So why- Casey cut off my spiraling with a kiss. A KISS! I....I liked it. We made out for 30 minutes. It was intense, steamy, and I loved it. But we had to stop, he's still dating April. I pushed him away, muttering. "Casey, stop. Y-You're still with April." I looked at him and something changed...His eyes were purple. "I knew you would say that." He said disappointed. "One last kiss?" He pleaded. I shouldn't....But I want to..
I hesitated before leaning in one last time. As we kissed, I checked the clock. 1 PM. Have we been kissing that long? Geez. Maybe We-
SHLINK
"H-Huh...?" I look down at both the metaphorical and physical knife in my heart. Casey smiled manically. "Take this to your grave."
I whimpered as darkness swallowed me. This is how I die? Not in battle, but betrayed by someone who I loved...
HOONNKKKK!
