p class="MsoNormal""Why didn't you say anything?!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"I kept crying in Donnie's arms, letting what happen pour out. I felt his embrace tighten a bit as he whispered how sorry he was in my ear. His olive colored cheeks rubbed against mine, wiping some of my tears onto him. We were silent for a moment, letting me be able to catch myself. Why was I so scared? The man is gone, I am home and…Donnie is here with me. I am safe. His grasp loosen as he looks into my eyes with concern and helps to wipe away the rest of my tears. His hands are so smooth and sincere as they caressed my face. He awkwardly continues to apologize but I put my hand on his lap, letting him know that I was well./p
p class="MsoNormal""Thank you, I am sorry for lashing out at you."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Don't apologize, you were assaulted, Y/N. I am just grateful that I was able to get there in time before more harm came to you. I just wish I knew how to approach this situation effectively in helping you. I am not the person for this kind of thing, typically. My brother, Mikey, could probably help a bit better."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Is he some sort of therapist?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Not really but he likes to call himself 'Dr. Feelings' to help my brothers' and I express ourselves in a healthy manner. If anything he is the most well-adjusted of us all."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I wish I could meet him…sounds like a nice guy."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Oh he is…until he becomes 'Dr. Delicate Touch'."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Dr. Delicate Touch? Does not seem so bad."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I lightly giggle but Donnie deadpan stares at me, guess I must be missing something./p
p class="MsoNormal""Look…maybe I can see if I can convince Raph to let you back to our place to talk to Mikey. That is if you think it will help you. I know you might prefer a therapist but-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""HA! You think I can afford that?! I am grateful I make enough to even keep up with the rent."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Now that you mention it…this place DOES seem to rather have subpar standards."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He looks around and notices the patches in the wall missing, exposing the brick and some water damage. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI look at him, just a little embarrassed. I haven't really had much visitors, usually I would go visit my friends and family. My body language displays my defensive nature as I grasp my towel a bit harder./p
p class="MsoNormal""Hey, I try my best, it is a bit hard to float on your own in New York. I take pride that I even have my own place!"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I apologize if I offended you, it is a bit difficult for me to lie so most people presume I am just rude. If you want, I can help fix this place up?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"My heart skipped a beat, this guy is basically a stranger and he is offer to fix my home?/p
p class="MsoNormal""I thought you were just going to stay for the night and leave and…never come back. Now, you are willing to ask your brother to help me and fix my place? Why?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""I am free to change to my mind just as much as you, right? I can hypothesis that you assumed that I was a rude scoundrel when we first conversed. If so, that means I am holding up my 'bad boy' image."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Donnie keeps a stone face as he watches me keel over. It was much needed after a long few days./p
p class="MsoNormal""BAD BOY?! Okay there, Donnie, I kind of had that thought of you being rude but I do not think you are a 'Bad Boy'. FAR FROM IT."/p
p class="MsoNormal""You know what? Let's just call it a night, I'll sleep on your couch."/p
p class="MsoNormal"He stands up and dusts himself off, storming to the couch and getting ready to rest. After catching my breath, I stand as well and walk over to him. I carefully fold my towel into itself so it can hold steady on my body./p
p class="MsoNormal""Please don't be upset, I just think you seem more funny and sweet than a bad boy. Let me help you out."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I move past him and remove the cushions to reveal that it is a couch bed. While pulling it out, my towel gets snagged on the frame without my knowledge./p
p class="MsoNormal""Here, this should be more comfortable to your liking. Do you tend to sleep with that thing on your back as well?"/p
p class="MsoNormal""What? Of course not, it does come off."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Mind if I take it off for you then?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanI walk over and noticed the towel slide down my body too fast for me to catch in time. There was a very awkward silence until we both freaked. Donnie's face blushes deeply and turns away quickly./p
p class="MsoNormal""OH MY GOD, I AM SO SORRY!"/p
p class="MsoNormal""J-JUST FIX YOURSELF, OK?!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"His voice cracks from embarrassment, trying to keep himself together. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHe proceeds to take off his accessories and his mask. This is a GREAT start to our friendship, exposing myself not once but TWICE in one night. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanThis was not how I would want him to see me! I have been a wreck around him from the start! For some reason though, he still wants to hang around me. Once I have gotten myself in order, I walked over slowly and touched his battle shell./p
p class="MsoNormal""I-it uh…unclasps from the shoulders, if-if you are trying to figure it out."/p
p class="MsoNormal"I glide my hands to his broad shoulders, feeling every inch of his muscles. Why does he feel so wonderful? Touching him just feels so right to me, I grabbed hold of the shell, lifting it off of him. His body seemed to shiver slightly, maybe my hands were too cold to the touch. I have been out the bath for quite some time. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanHis backside is completely exposed to me, I can take a nice long look at his strapping neck, toned shoulders, his real shell and the back of his thighs that even make me jealous. Why does he look so damn good too me?! Instinctively, I was about to touch his shell to see how it feels but he quickly stopped me. He unexpectedly grabs my wrist with a firm hold./p
p class="MsoNormal""Please, it is very sensitive to the touch. I am not comfortable with direct contact."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I am sorry, I shouldn't ha-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""It's ok, it has been a long night, let's get some rest, alright?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"He gives me a minor smile as I watch him lay down on his back, getting settled. All I do was stare at him for a few seconds which felt like moments. Soon, my body moves on its own and slowly gets on the pull-out with him./p
p class="MsoNormal""What- Wait-, y/n what are you doing?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"What AM I doing? I am completely acting on impulse as I slowly crawl on top of him. He just stares at me nervously and slightly confused. He does not try to make me get off of him though so this must be ok, right? I soon met him face to face, only a towel keeping me from feeling my skin against his plastron. My body lowers on his while I place my face nuzzled at his neck. I want this…I need this. To be touched, to not feel so lonely. I know this is temporary but the moment feels like pure bliss. Donnie does not seem to know what to do, I could hear him confused muttering as his body starts to warm up./p
p class="MsoNormal""Hold me…"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Wha-"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Please, hold me tight, Donnie. I need this…"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Donnie submits to my request and embraces me once more. He seems to be getting more comfortable with my contact even though his reaction is still hesitant. I know he is not that physical of a person so this means a lot, to not just me but maybe to him as well. As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt something soft against my forehead for a moment. Just a moment./p
