Donatello can't take it anymore.

For years now, he's been in an unrequited love with his hot-headed brother, Raphael. The pain that he suffered when he realized these forbidden feelings was unbearable, and when he knew those feelings would never be returned: devastating. But that pain is now an everyday ache, and he could have suffered happily in silence for the rest of his life if that meant he could still remain by Raphael's side. But then a couple of months ago, he realized that while Raphael could make him burn with that fiery passion, his eldest brother and leader, Leonardo, could made him ache.

Leonardo was his leader, one to go to for a battle strategy, and the one usually open for suggestions. Though highly traditional, Leo could give Don an inner strength to strive to do better, to continue to stand when life sent him to his knees. His control on his emotions was incredible, and some days Don wished he had half the patience Leo had. And even though his feelings for this brother were relatively new, they hurt just as much as his long love with Raph, and knew even before he admitted them to himself, that these feelings would also be unrequited. But his growing emotion for his youngest brother was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back.

Michelangelo was the one who could make a room brighter just by walking into it. His smile can make any situation look optimistic. And while his jokes may be corny, his pranks are well thought out and are designed to make everybody laugh. While he was clumsy in Don's lab, his grace and speed on the battlefield were unequaled. And though Mikey likes to cross-dress and might have been open for a relationship, he was still the youngest, and a bit naïve and shallow, and Don didn't want to go for a romantic relation if Mikey only thought it was just for a good time.

So here now Don was, activating a secret hypnosis trick that he did on everyone he knows and loves that he had hoped he would never have to use, especially after that trip to that terrifying future. But, he reasons, if they don't remember of my existence, how can they get hurt? Especially since I'm not going too far…

After he says the semiconscious sentence to activate the amnesia, he gathers everything he owns or has him in it, packs them into his Shell Cycle, and after a tearful whisper of goodbye, heads to new territory he had staked out a week ago. After realising that his brothers could never possibly feel the same way towards him, Don had been secretly scouting out new territory.

Not too far from home, but not close either. With all of his equipment gathered up, he could recreate his lab and keep up the security without his brothers knowledge. The only tricky part would be staying hidden from four of the most trained ninja he had ever known. He had no doubt that Master Splinter would eventually notice his presence and send the turtles to check it out.

But Don had planned for that. He knew all of his brothers weaknesses and strengths, and as much as he hated using what they told him in confidence against them, it really did come in handy. For instance, Mikey was afraid of the darkness. He was afraid of what hid in the shadows, and after years of fighting seemingly invisible ninjas, he couldn't blame the young terrapin.

Raph didn't think about light or dark, he just charged in. However, bugs were not his strong suit. As much as he wasn't terrified of them, he would go to great lengths to try and avoid them. If their was a huge multitude of bugs, then the normally hot headed brother would go to extreme lengths to convince Leo to choose a different path. It had happened before and Don was quite confident that it would happen again given the right circumstances.

Leo was the most difficult to adjust to. There was a reason that he was nicknamed 'fearless', as much as the older turtle hated it. He would not force his brothers to go into a place that they secretly feared, but that wouldn't stop him from going back and searching the place out on his own. However, there was one thing that he could do to keep Leo away, and that was to have a certain sound box set up that would emit a high pitched squeal.

The catch was that ones inner spirit could hear it. The other two brother would not go hat far into the tunnel, but Leo would, so when he got to a certain point, one that was still quite a distance away from Don's new home, his inner spirit would begin to convulse in pain, forcing him to retreat. His spirit was always the strongest due to his constant meditation, and therefor would be the most susceptible to the inner pain.

As much as Donnie hated to be the one to cause his beloved brother such pain, he could not be discovered. Not until at least a few months had gone by to make sure the hypnosis worked. Only then could Donnie occasionally reveal himself to them as an ally. However, he would only do that if he was needed. He had set up video cameras throughout the lair to keep an eye on them if any of them got hurt.

There were also trackers imbedded into the inner part of their carapaces, giving him a good idea of where they were in case something happened. The Mikey from the future had never explained exactly how the family had become so injured, so he needed to be prepared for anything that could potentially harm his beloved brothers. He refused to let them down, whether they knew he was helping or not.

It had taken him a full week to set everything up in his new home, one third of it looking like a science lab, another third looking like a auto repair shop and a final third looking like a dojo. Just because he was giving up on his old life at the lair didn't mean he was going to just forget everything his Master had taught him. If his brothers were to ever need him in battle, then he would come.

Only a small section of the large space was set up for living. Two doors, one led to a dirty and unused washroom, one that he would obviously need to tweak up a bit and add plumbing. The other door had a small bed with everything from his old room in the lair, everything set up exactly the way it was. As for a kitchen, in one of the many corners of his new home was a working fridge, stove, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. He doubted he would ever get into cooking extravagant meals like Mikey, but at least he had the stuff to do it.

Once everything was set up, only then did Donnie begin to let his walls fall. After slipping into a human disguise, the purple branded turtle bought a small red, blue and orange cake, bringing it home as he decorated the small dinning table that was located in front of the kitchen. Only then did he let his tears fall, simultaneously lighting the candles of the cake, only to blow them out a few minutes later.

Waves of tears cascaded down his face as he realised that the only thing he wanted... the only thing he would ever wish for...He could never have... All because of the stupid emotions that he could control... couldn't hide...

In anger, he swiped the uneaten cake off the table, watching as it hit the wall with a splat. The purple branded terrapin could only stand there and stare as the multi-coloured cake slid down the wall, leaving a rather large streak in its wake. His stiff body fell from the chair as he cradled his head between his knees, sobs escaping his chapped lips while he rocked his body back and forth.

"Happy birthday Donnie..."
