"Great, that's all I need," April groaned as the weather report on her television forecast that the snow storm would hit New York in the coming days.
"What's that?" Karai asked as she walked in from the kitchen.
"There's a snow storm that's gonna hit New York."
"You don't like snow?"
"I did when I was younger but now it's just a nuisance, it slows everything down, it'll take me ages to get into work or if I can't get in I'll lose a day's wages and we won't be able to get down to the sewers…" April began to rant before Karai began ignoring her, just watching her mouth move, waiting for it to stop.
"I guess I'm gonna have to move into the lair until the snow goes away," Karai said, once the other had finally stopped talking.
"Can't bear to be away from Leo for a few days?"
"More like can't bear to be away from his dick," Karai said and April groaned loudly, "but I'd miss the rest of Leo too."
"I don't want to hear about Leo's dick, I've told you that before!"
"We used to talk about the guys we dated all the time."
"I know but that's a bit different than hearing about someone who is like family to me!"
"April, Leo and I have been together for almost a year."
"...Yes, you've told me that."
"And how many guys have I talked about during that time?" Karai asked and a horrible dawning feeling fell on her.
"Oh god, all those sex stories were about Leo?"
"Oh yes." Karai grinned wildly.
"The guy who sounds like a porn star in bed?" Karai nodded. "The guy who loved going down on you?" Another nod. "The guy with the out of this world penis?" Yet another nod.
"I bet that's given you a lot to think about now."
"I want to bleach my brain," April groaned as she rubbed at her temples.
"You loved the stories at the time, you always like to hear about the amazing men I take to my bed...it just so happens it was one amazing turtle."
"I know far too much about Leo than I ever wanted to know."
"I bet you're imagining if Donnie would be similar to Leo," Karai said and April dropped her arms and glared at her roommate.
"No, I am not."
"Whatever you say O'Neil, I'm gonna go pack some things and then head down to the lair."
Later in the day, long after Karai had left, April called Donnie to check in.
"Do you guys want me to get you anything? Some extra food or blankets or something?" April asked down the phone as she put her dinner in the oven.
"Karai came down with some food and other supplies earlier, apparently she's going to be staying here in case the snow gets really bad."
"Oh, okay...well if you do need anything else…"
"I'll let you know April, thanks."
"Okay...talk soon?"
"Of course."
"Bye D."
"Bye April."
The call disconnected and April sighed, she should have known that Karai would take some extra stuff with her for the guys, she probably did that often for them. She felt a bit jealous but knew that she was overreacting.
Part of her had wanted to see Donnie and the guys if she wasn't going to be able to for a few days or at least show her face so they would know that she was going to be worried about them and miss them when the snow would keep them apart. She just hoped that they blamed the snow on keeping April away instead or thinking that she just didn't want to come down.
The storm hit the following day, bringing plenty of snow into the city and dropping the temperature to almost 30 degrees.
April had received an email the previous day from her office manager, explaining they would be extending the winter break for another week to allow for the snow to clear so they could get back to the office with no problems.
The next day there was another email from the office manager, explaining that the New Year would be bringing some tough times and choices and there would be cutbacks to come. Essentially meaning that people in the office who were seen as not as important, would be losing their jobs because the company was so cheap.
April knew that she would have people to fall back on again if she were to lose another job, but she didn't want to have others support her because she couldn't find a job that lasted longer than a year. She also knew that it wasn't her fault that she kept losing her job but she sure felt like a failure, even with a college degree, she couldn't get anything decent.
She spent that night drinking, even though she had been trying to avoid alcohol she thought why not if she was just going to be by herself, she couldn't cause any trouble.
She was nursing a hangover the next day when a call from Donnie came through on her cell.
"Donnie, is everything okay?" April asked and the turtle laughed on the other side of the phone.
"Everything is fine April, there's no need to sound so worried I just wanted to check in and see if everything was okay with you?"
"Oh, yeah I'm fine thanks...well, got some bad news emails from my boss but other than that nothing's happened here."
"What was the bad news?"
"They're going to be laying people off...well the email just said that there would be cutbacks and I know what that means."
"You think they're going to let you go?"
"Probably, I haven't been there long enough for them to have to give me a severance package or anything and I'm only an assistant…"
"Don't say that April."
"It's true though D...I guess I better start looking for another job, I thought this one would at least last a few years, not barely one."
"I can always help with job hunting if you need me to...as soon as the snow's gone?"
"I'd really appreciate that Donnie, thanks."
"I shall be with you as soon as the snow allows."
"I can't wait...so you guys are all okay down there?"
"We're fine April, feeling a little stir crazy but we know it won't be long until the snow clears and surprisingly Mikey hasn't eaten everything in the kitchen yet so we still have food."
"Good," April chuckled and for a moment neither say anything, before Donnie felt bad for keeping her on the phone.
"I should let you get on…"
"I don't really have anything else to be doing," April laughed, looking outside at the snow, "I should have gone to the lair with Karai...I'm actually getting quite lonely here by myself."
"It would have been nice to have you here, but it is still colder than your apartment would be, even with the heating on and the extra space heaters...I don't think Master Splinter is appreciating it but he won't say anything because he knows how badly we suffer."
"How's Karai dealing with it?"
"Well...there aren't any heaters in Leo's room, they don't need them when they're keeping each other plenty warm."
"Don!" April giggled.
"Oh, sorry, but ha, it's true, they've barely come out of his room since Karai came down here a few days ago, they never used to be this bad."
"That's nice though isn't it? Over a year of dating and they still seem like they're in the honeymoon phase of the relationship."
"Oh, it started ages before that."
"What do you mean?"
"They first started hooking up when we were...nineteen or twenty, Leo went out to meet Karai one night and when he came back he couldn't stop grinning...it wasn't hard to tell what had happened."
"Oh, wow...Karai never told me about that...so they had a sort of friends with benefits thing going on?"
"Yeah, Karai didn't want a relationship and wanted to keep her options open, Leo was free to do the same but, well, it's a bit harder for us…"
April totally didn't think about how Donnie was possibly, most probably still a virgin and how she could definitely show him a thing or two. She had always been curious about what Donnie was packing under his shell, hence why her drunk self had asked on New Years Eve (she was just surprised that she hadn't accidentally asked before) and what it would be like having sex with him.
She imagined that he would be a gentle lover, making sure that his partner was taken care of but he was capable of being rough and demanding when the mood struck or when his partner asked it of him.
"April, are you still there?"
"Yeah, sorry, I just...can't believe that I never noticed anything before, I thought I had just missed a year of them dating but years of them hooking up?" April blabbed out quickly and tried to get her mind off Donnie and sex, glad that Donnie couldn't see her bright red face.
"Well, we only knew because of how Leo was when he came back after spending time with Karai... then she started coming here and they were just loud… I had to soundproof his room."
"I can't really imagine Leo being...not that I'm thinking about it or ever have I just... god I don't..." April continued to ramble and laugh nervously.
"It's okay April I know what you mean," Donnie laughed and April cursed herself when she felt her stomach flutter, "but Leo is probably the opposite of anything you may or may not think of him."
"Oh god don't tell me things like that, you're as bad as Karai!"
"I find that offensive," Donnie tried to sound serious.
"You could take it as a compliment...that you are very bold and confident!"
"I've never been called that before," he chuckled.
"You're more bold and confident than you used to be."
"That is true…" Donnie chuckled and then there was a loud shout in the background, followed by Donnie shouting back, turning away from the phone so he didn't hurt April's eardrums, "sorry April, Mikey's made us dinner, I better go before he comes in here and drags me to the kitchen."
"That's okay D, enjoy...whatever Mikey has made for you."
"I will try," Donnie laughed, "goodbye April."
"Goodbye Donnie."
With the conversation not there to distract her anymore, her thoughts went back to how Donnie would be like in bed. It was true that Donnie had grown more bold and confident in the years she had known him but she was sure that in the bedroom he would be the awkward turtle she knew he still was at heart.
April collapsed backwards on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. There was a tingle that went through her body as she tried to imagine more about what Donnie would be like in bed, she tried to ignore it and turn her thoughts to something else but it wasn't working.
Fuck it , she thought as she reached into her nightstand to take out her purple vibrator.
What is wrong with me?
Why would I buy this in purple?
Was I thinking about Donnie when I brought this?
Just because it's purple doesn't mean that it's linked to the turtle wearing the purple mask...right?
She wiggled out of her pants and underwear and turned on the vibrator, immediately pressing it to her clit, wanting a quick release and to focus on her pleasure, but now all she could think about was how Donnie's fingers would feel on her clit. That definitely helped her reach her release quickly.
She lay there on her bed after just thinking, I masturbated thinking about my best friend and it was the best orgasm I'd had in ages.
