Okay...this is awkwardly short, even for me^^ I'm so sorry, I hope you still enjoy it though!
Just so you know, there really is no reason why Donny feels so upset. But I'm sure everyone knows times like these, right?
More oneshots will follow soon after, including Jordi's and my BestiesThatLoveTMNT account. And I got my first request, by MarieBlue4863 *happydance* Again, I feel really honored!
Enough of this :)
Understanding
The city seems asleep.
No lights are on. Time seems to stay still.
A sigh escapes my mouth as I stare into the dark night.
I don't know how often I've been here already.
It started with a simple patrol on the rooftops of New York. On my own.
When I first got to this place, I was…fascinated how relaxing it felt to just sit here. While I was here, all the feelings I had had before were…bearable.
Because I've been feeling a little…melancholic lately. Don't ask me why, because I couldn't give you a proper answer.
Everything just…seems to…be amiss somehow. It's not some particular incident that happened, or that I'd blame myself for anything.
It's just…I can't explain.
Back in the lair with my brothers and father…it's hard to keep these feelings inside. And if they would notice, they would ask me what's wrong.
But that's something I don't even know myself.
My eyes scoop the city. It rarely looks so peaceful.
"A little relaxing, Donny?"
I whirl around, startled by the sudden voice. A pair of dark chocolate eyes stares back at me.
I smile a little.
"Hey, Leo. I just -" I can't continue, because I don't know what to say. Leo just stares. I can feel his dark eyes wandering up and down my body, searching for any sign of sadness.
I shake my head a little, turn around and sit down, staring into the night again.
Silence.
He drops down beside me. I immediately have to smile.
Mommy Leo in action.
"I'm fine", comes my whisper. I keep my gaze looked to a far away star.
Leo doesn't say anything. His strict, worried gaze locked to my face almost burns.
Against my will, another sigh escapes my mouth. Leo tenses a little next to me.
"Really."
I don't know why I avoid his gaze as I say that, but I do.
We stay silent for a while. My breathing is strangely fast.
My eyes start to sting. Something wet runs down my cheek.
Why am I crying?
Suddenly, a protective arm wraps around my shoulders and pulls me close.
My eyes widen in surprise.
Then…I just lose it.
My body trembles while big, salty tears float out of my eyes and pathetic sobs escape my throat.
I almost claw my hands into Leo's chest, burying my face into his shoulder.
Another arm wraps around me, soothingly rubs my shell. I feel Leo resting his cheek against my head.
"It's okay, Donny."
Leo's soft and caring voice makes me cling tighter, his following words sob louder.
"I understand."
The End
