APRITELLO ONESHOT: ONE LOVE PART 1 OF 2: ONE NIGHT.
It was a very late and cold November night, and April was looking out of the window resting her chin on her hand, at the edge of the window. The night gaze was blowing through her red hair, and her cheeks were red because of the cold breeze. The moon watching majestic over the sleeping and silent city, and there was no cloud staining the dark blue sky. She took a deep breath. It was a stunning night, but still, it felt so lonely.
Donnie and his brothers had gone several hours ago to a mission, which was to stop Karai and the foot clan to make an important building from exploding. She could still remember Donnie's worried face and chocolate brown eyes looking at her before leaving and reaching his brothers on the rooftop.
"I will be back soon, I'll be back before midnight."
"Is it a promise?" She'd said looking sadly hopeful at him.
"It is…" He hugged her softly. "April…I…wanted to ask you…if…we..maybe…oh, it's so hard to say it…" He nervously stuttered in her ear.
"Donnie! We don't have all night!" Raph yelled irritated and impatiently from the rooftop.
"I'm coming! I have to go, I'll tell you later!" He kissed her cheek and jumped out of the window. April had just sighed and sat down on her bed.
Now, during the hours they were gone, she'd done everything to keep her mind away from her boyfriend. She just had to stay calm. She'd tried meditation, writing in her diary, playing some Wii, reading a book, studying too. But whatever she did, her thoughts went always back to her lovable turtle boyfriend and his brothers. The thing which was worrying her the most was that it was 0.30 and he hadn't come back yet. What if he was dead? What if he was gravely injured or something? With these thoughts in her head, she sat down with the back against the bed and hid her face in her knees, with her heart wandering where he could be in this moment.
"Donnie…I beg you…please come back soon..."
Leo sliced down the last one of the Foot's modern robots, and it fell lifeless to the ground. Karai had already run away, defeated by the Turtles.
"And that was the last one! I think we're finished…" Leo said satisfied putting his katana back in its folder. Donnie gasped.
"REALLY? ARE WE FREE THE REST OF THE NIGHT?" He almost yelled with a big smile, shaking of hope.
"Y…yeah Donnie, calm down! What's with you tonight?" Leo asked looking strange at him. Donnie's smile widened even more and said running away fast as lightning:
"Sorry guys, but I'm going to April's! You don't have to wait, this will take a while…maybe all night…" He disappeared jumping on the rooftops.
"What the fuck?!" Raph said rising his eyebrows.
"He maybe eat too much blueberries…let's go home now, I want pizza!" Mikey said yawning and stretching his arms. His elder brothers nodded. Sometimes it was best to leave their smart and nerdy brother alone…
April was still lost in her thoughts, when she suddenly heard a voice she knew very, very well.
"April! It's me!" Her eyes narrowed and she gasped surprised. She looked slowly up and saw a purple clad turtle at the edge of her window, with chocolate brown eyes and a bo staff on his back and an adorable tooth gap. She almost had tears in her eyes as she saw Donatello climbing down and running towards her. She rose up and ran too, and they reunited in a tight, warm hug. They sat down on the floor, still hugging each other.
"Where have you been? I was so worried…" April whispered hiding her face in his shoulder.
"Sorry I'm late princess…those robots gave us a hard time…"
"Don't worry; the most important thing is that you're here now…I've missed you…"
"Me too…" They stayed just like that, lovingly in each other's arms, while a romantic silence fell upon them. April closed her eyes. She was so happy, this moment was perfect.
After some more minutes of thick silence, Donnie suddenly whispered softly in her ear:
"April?"
"Hm?..." She answered softly back. Why did he suddenly sound so serious?
"Let's do it." April gasped, and her eyes narrowed again, becoming lightly teary. She blushed as she felt her heart beat faster.
"R…really? Y…you're not kidding right?" She stuttered in pure happiness.
"No…" He whispered. "No my love…if you want, let's do it…" April was surprised and a little bit shocked. Donnie had always been so shy, mostly because he said he was a turtle, who could ever love him if he weren't human first? Who could ever love…a turtle? But she could. April had always loved him, no matter his appearance. But she still understood why he'd been so afraid. So…she was very surprised that he asked for such a question so suddenly….one thing she knew was, that Donnie was the only boy she'd ever loved this much, no matter what…
"Donnie…I…"
"Hm?"
"Ok..." Donnie looked at her with wide eyes.
"Really?" She laughed.
"Oh Donnie, of course, I love you, you should know it by now…" He chuckled and hugged her softly again.
"I love you too…
15 minutes later, they were both sitting one in front of another on April's bed, looking deeply in each other's eyes, with the wind blowing inside from the window. April was wearing a simple yellow nightgown with a ribbon along her neck, which held the nightgown's upper part on place. Her heart was beating fast, but in the end, she wasn't that nervous. Why should she?...
Donnie came closer and wrapped his arms around her back, and April wrapped her legs gently around his waist. Then, Donnie lend into a kiss. His lips slowly and softly touched hers, and soon, he kissed her intensely. He pulled her closer to his chest. Donnie softly untied her ponytail, and they tumbled down on the bed
Slowly, April felt like she was melting in Donnie's strong, warm arms. He had a smooth and sweet scent of blueberries. He was gently caressing her cheeks and neck, kissing her with love. When he came to the ribbon, he slowly untied it while kissing her neck with his warm lips. He lifted the nightgown up, and it fell on the ground. They looked at each other in silent for a long moment.
Donnie laid his forehead on April's, and after some seconds kissed her again. Soon, they were just skin against skin…
The whole world felt like disappearing in that moment…it felt far away, as if they were their own world. April felt so happy to have Donnie with her…this amazing feeling of joy every time he kissed her neck, the desire to tell him to not stop…and the fear of that emptiness she would've felt she would lose him…his body was so warm against hers, it was amazing…as if their souls were bonding in a strong and unbreakable bond. Their hearts were beating together. They were as one soul, one living thing…
"Donnie…" She thought while he wrapped her back again and pulled her chest gently up to his lips.
"Please…do never leave me…" Donnie came up to her lips again, as her heart was beating faster. The warmth of his body was wrapping hers like a lovefull embrace…
"Don't leave me in this cruel world…I need you…will you be with me forever?" That was a question she'd asked herself a while now. What if Donnie would've disappeared from her life? What would happen to her? Would she be able to live? April didn't know why, but it felt like Donnie's soft lovingly lips kissing hers, were telling her how much he loved her…they assured her in some way, that yes, he would love her until the end of the world.
She felt safe, loved in his arms. With him, April had experienced feels and a love who no one had ever gived her in life. Donnie had respected her, protected her and had given his life just to see her smile, just to see the girl of his dreams happy and joyful. The gratefulness she felt towards him was endless. April had never loved a boy as much as she loved Donnie. Never in her whole life. She didn't care what the world could say about their abnormal relationship. Donatello was a turtle, and maybe their relationship could look completely impossible. But April knew that if they were together, strong against any evil, they could be together forever, united in their love.
"I don't want to give up on us…never…" April thought. "Never…because I love you, Donatello…I do…"
Then, while Donnie was slowly kissing her shoulder, holding her body close to his, she felt it. A sudden, terrible pain running through every inch and nerve of her body. She clutched the sheets, until her knuckles turned white.
"No…no…disappear…" She thought nervously. "Go away!" Her whole body buckled in pain. She closed her eyes, almost squeezing them closed.
After some second, the pain disappeared as it had come. April breathed out slowly. She needed to calm down. Donnie looked worried at her, but she smiled caressing his cheek. She didn't want this night to end. Staying here, with him, close to him and his warm skin and body…in peace and in love like this, it was enough for her to be happy. It was all she needed. Ever.
Several hours later, when the sky was deep black and the city was gently asleep, April was resting her head on Donnie's chest, caressing it with her hand, lost in her thoughts. Donnie was holding an arm around her shoulder, holding her close. Then, April looked up and said.
"Donnie?"
"Yes?"
"You know what I was thinking about? The world may judge our relationship saying that it's impossible; it will never be normal or human. But you know what? I love you, and it's not wasted time. The time with you, has been the best of my whole life. Without you, I don't know if I had been alive today. I love you, I do." Donnie smiled his dorky and cute smile she loved so much.
"I love you too April, I love you so much…" He kissed her forehead and then her lips. Then, they finally went asleep in each other's arms, with the moon watching over them.
The sunrays of the early morning entered in the room, with birds twittering just like in Disney movies. The morning breeze was blowing in thanks to the slightly open window. The sky was light blue with some lonely but cute white clouds here and there, but soon the sky would surely be gray again. After all, it was November.
April slowly opened her eyes, waking up. She felt a little bit dizzy and tired, which didn't surprise her at all. She sighed happily and stretched out her arm to see if Donnie was awake. But when she caressed the bed in search of his warm hand or arm, she just felt an empty space. April sat up looking around, holding the blanket over her chest, but she soon saw him standing not far away from the bed, putting back on his belt and bo staff.
"Good morning!" April said with a joyful smile. Donnie turned around and smiled back with big, childish cute eyes.
"Good morning! Did you sleep well?" April laughed.
"Did we sleep at all?" Donnie laughed too, blushing a bit and then lend her a dressing gown.
"Here, put this on, you maybe want to eat breakfast!"
"Sure!" She said cheerfully, putting it on. She jumped down the bed after pushing the blanket aside. When Donnie saw that gesture, he was reminded of something and his face became pale as a vampire in less than a second.
"Donnie! What is it? Why are pale all of a sudden?" April walked up to him, caressing his cheek. He took her hand and took it away from his cheek. She was looking worried at him, with her dark blue eyes, shimmering like water under the sunlight. He looked back with nervous eyes, and then spoke:
"April…when…when I woke up earlier than you and pushed the blanket aside to jump down from the bed…I…I saw something…"
"What? My naked body? C'mon Donnie, don't be that shy after we've made love not so long time ago…" She commented sarcastically.
"No! It wasn't that! I saw…blood on the sheets, close to you…" When she heard that, April remained speechless, with her mouth open. Donnie laid his big turtle hands on her shoulders.
"April, listen: if I hurt you last night, you must tell me, because if I have, then I will not…" April quickly shut him up, laying a finger on his mouth.
"Donnie…Donnie stop…I can actually explain that." She paused and Donnie nodded, willing to listen.
"If I have to be honest, ok, it did hurt a bit, but that's completely natural, because…well…I…last night…was my first time." Donnie's eyes narrowed in pure surprise.
"And it's completely normal for some girls to bleed a bit the first time, but you…well…get used to it after a while…" She blushed a little, laying a hand cutely on her mouth, looking away from her boyfriend's chocolate brown eyes.
"Really?" Donnie stuttered. "Was that your first time? I thought you had already…" April shook her head sighing with a smile.
"No. Just because I'm a…almost normal teenage girl, it doesn't mean that I have slept with every boy on this planet." Donnie nodded with a goofy smile.
"Of course, that was stupid of me to think, sorry."
"Don't worry…" She hugged him tightly, whispering with a sad and soft voice.
"And stop worrying so much for so small things…or I'll worry too…"
"Alright, I'll try…" Donnie said with a tender voice, hugging her back. April snuggled her face in his chest and took a deep breath. She chuckled and added:
"You still smell blueberries…I love it…" Donnie chuckled and caressed her hair.
"I do? Then I should eat blueberries more often…" April nodded.
"I'll make blueberry pie next time you and the guys next time you stop by!"
"That's great! Sorry honey, I have to go now or my brothers will freak out! And hope your Dad won't freak out either!" April shook her head laughing.
"No. He's out for some late night lab researches or something, he'll be back in an hour or so…I'll be all right by then!"
Donnie opened the window completely and jumped on the edge of it.
"Then…see you soon!"
"Yes!" He jumped up on the closest rooftop, and they waved goodbye at each other. April looked at the direction he had disappeared in, and smiled to herself. After all, she didn't regret anything.
She walked into the room, and then, out of nowhere, she felt a sudden nausea over her whole body, and fell like stone down on the floor. Her body started trembling hard.
What was this? She…needed help…help…
"Donnie…" She thought as it got harder to breathe. "Donnie…save me…save me!
