"Everytime they are together, he feels Confident. Everytime they are apart he starts feeling insecure. Even if he knows April does loves him, he sometimes thinks of everything he can't give her. His insecurity starts to swell and April notices how he acts differently. And she will get her answers why." ~ nakcabttack2
"Insecure"
He tried to hide the stutter in his voice, the blush that constantly painted his cheeks. He tried to hide his insecurity, but April didn't buy it. She could read him like an open book.
Lately, Donatello hadn't been feeling himself. It had been months since they had first started dating, and he was starting to worry if he wasn't good enough for her.
She had noticed it, of course she would have. But she didn't say anything, she thought it was just a phase and he would get over it. But weeks passed by, and Donatello was still holding back. He wasn't sure of himself, she knew.
It was when they were studying when she brought it up. She closed her book suddenly, and turned to her gap-toothed beau. Donatello looked at her quizzically. "What?" he shrugged.
"Why have you been so shy lately?" she blurted out suddenly. A blush burned to life on his cheeks and he cleared his throat.
"Wh..What?" he stuttered.
"You haven't been your usual, confident self.. Ever since we started dating you've stopped being so extravagant. You never correct us when we mispronounce something or use incorrect grammar anymore.. You're just not yourself.." she huffed, blowing a strand of hair from her face.
He cleared his throat again. "Um.."
She looked down at her hands, which were now resting in her lap. "Is it.. Is it me?" she asked softly, tears beginning to well in her eyes.
"No!" he stopped her before she could continue and he tilted her head to look at him. "It's not you.. It'll never be you, April. I love you, more than anything in the world, and nothing will ever change that," her mouth was slightly agape as he confessed his love to her. "I've just been.. Worried." he admitted. "Worried that I might lose you.. I'm different, April, and I'll never be able to show you wonderful things or take you to wonderful places. I'll never be able to take you to fancy restaurants or anywhere else for that matter," he spoke his mind and April listened as he continued "But you, April, you have the opportunity to go anywhere you'd like you, and so I ask, why? Why do you choose to stay with me when you could have any normal guy up there who can be with you without hiding in the shadows." he finished softly.
"Because I don't want any normal guy, Donnie, I want you," the tears were streaming from her eyes now. "And it doesn't matter to me that we can't go on dates or anything, because I love you and I get to spend everyday with you. I don't need to go on fancy dates and see the sights. I only need you, Donnie." and with that, he crushed her against him, holding her in a tight embrace that felt like it lasted for hours, both of them crying at each others confessions.
They weren't tears of sadness.. They were tears of joy and of promise of the future.
A/N: I think that's the fastest I've ever wrote a oneshot. I was on fire! It was just flowing out of me like a waterfall! This summary inspired me so much, and I was able to just work off of it!
