This is the last one I've managed to get through so far but there will be more to come!
Guest suggested: Write a fic about Donnie and Mikey fighting over who gets to hang out with professor Honeycutt!
Rated: K Genre: Family/hurt/comfort
Hanging out
The control room consisted of only Professor Honeycutt, Donatello and Michelangelo. The other five were asleep due to it being late at night for them.
''Well'' Professor Honeycutt smiled. ''Shouldn't you boys be off to bed?''
''We're not really tired after the day we've had'' Donnie chuckled.
''Um… D? Could I speak with ya for a sec?'' Mikey pulled his brother to the back of the room. ''Dude. Ya gotta go to bed so I can hang out with ma new robot bro!''
''What? No! You go to bed and I'll stay here'' Donnie insisted.
''No way man! This is my chance to have a robot for a friend!'' Mikey pouted. ''Don't ruin this for me!''
''But Mikey-'' Donnie tried to argue but Mikey's puppy dog eyes stopped him. ''You don't even have anything in common with him''
''You don't know that'' Mikey frowned.
Donnie sighed and tried to hide his disappointment.
''Fine… I'll just go wander about on my own then'' Mikey's eyes widened as he watched his brother leave, he felt a little worried that he might have hurt Donnie's feelings but quickly pushed it aside.
''Has Donatello gone to bed?'' Professor Honeycutt asked in concern. ''He just said he wasn't tired.''
''Nah, he's went for a walk'' Mikey waved the professor's worry off.
''Oh.'' Honeycutt nodded. ''Yes… I like to do that when I can't clear my head too''
''What do ya mean?'' Mikey asked curiously.
''Well… Don't take this the wrong way but I always got the impression that Donatello was always stuck in his own head. From what he's told me he doesn't fit in with the rest of you as much as he'd like to'' Honeycutt shrugged. ''I've always been that way myself, he's very lucky to have you Michelangelo. You two seem to get along famously''
Mikey bowed his head slightly.
He and Donatello have always been friends, now he's pushed Donnie away and stopped him from hanging out with someone who understood him.
''Donnie really feels that way?'' Mikey asked guiltily.
''That's what I gathered from what he's told me'' The robot smiled with his digital eyes.
Mikey frowned and thought for a while.
''I'll be right back!'' He ran out the room and down the corridor, he peaked into the sleeping chambers to see everyone was chatting quietly.
But Donnie wasn't there.
''What's wrong Mikey?'' Leo asked in concern when he saw the worry on his baby brother's face.
''N-Nothing'' Mikey bowed his head and made to leave but Raphael stopped him.
''Woah buddy?'' He and Leo got up and hurried over to Mikey. ''What's goin' on?''
Mikey glanced at the two humans before pulling his brothers out the room, he waited until the door slid firmly shut.
''I did something bad'' He sniffled as the guilt made him tearful. ''I hurt Donnie''
''What do you mean you hurt Donnie?'' Leo asked worriedly, he shared a slightly scared look with Raph. Michelangelo very rarely got this upset.
''I made him leave even though he and the fugitoid get along really well! I hurt his feelings and made him feel lonely even thought he already feels like that and now I don't know where he is and it's all my fault!'' Mikey cried as tears fell from his eyes, the guilt was physically hurting him.
''Slow down Mikey'' Raph soothed.
''Take deep breaths and try again'' Leo smiled sympathetically.
Mikey did as he was told and told them everything.
''Well… it sound like you need to apologise'' Leo crossed his arms with a troubled expression.
''I had no idea Don felt like that'' Raph cringed. ''Poor guy…''
''I wanna apologise but I don't know where he is'' Mikey frowned sadly. ''He only said he was gong for a walk!''
''He's probably in the engine room'' Leo nodded thoughtfully,
Nobody had the chance to say anything more as Mikey dashed away.
The young turtle nearly slammed into the door but managed to stop himself and give the door the chance to open first.
There he found Donnie staring at a wall of complicated switches and buttons.
''DONNIE!'' Mikey grinned, Donatello jumped in surprise as his little brother hugged him tightly. ''I'VE BEEN LOOKIN' FOR YA BRO!''
''Really?'' Don asked with a slight frown. ''Why? I thought you were making friends with the fugitoid?''
''Nah man'' Mikey refused to let go. ''You can totally go hang out with him, I don't mind''
''Mikey?'' Donnie hugged Mikey in concern. ''Is everything ok? Did something happen?''
Michelangelo didn't reply.
Donnie forced his little brother to look up into his face and, needless to say, Mikey cracked.
''I'M SORRY!'' He cried, ''I'M SORRY WE MADE YOU FEEL LONELY AND THAT THE FUGITOID IS THE ONLY ONE WHO YOU FEEL CLOSE TO!''
''Mikey! Mikey, calm down!'' Donnie gasped, ''What are you talking about?''
Mikey sniffled and calmed himself down.
''I don't feel lonely and I don't feel close to Professor Honeycutt'' Donatello explained gently. ''I mean, yeah he's the only one who understand and enjoys my 'techno-babble' but that doesn't mean I don't feel part of the family… So I'm a little different, you guys don't care right?''
''No!'' Mikey shook his head furiously. ''We love you D! No matter what!''
''Exactly'' Donnie smiled. ''Who told you that I felt this way?''
''Professor Honeycutt said that he got the impression you felt that way from what you've told him'' Mikey blushed at his over reaction to the entire situation.
''He only got that because I was ranting to him while he was showing me the engine room'' Donnie chuckled as he motioned to the walls around him.
Mikey blushed harder. Donnie laughed and hugged him tightly.
''Aww, thanks though Mikey'' He grinned, ''It's nice to know you were so worried''
Mikey smiled and nodded.
''C'mon'' Donnie took Mikey's hand and lead him out of the room, ''Let's go hang out with the fugitoid together.''
''OK!'' Mikey grinned before frowning. ''Oh uh… I may have told Raphie and Leo about… everything before I found you''
Donnie face palmed.
''They're gonna be a nightmare from now on'' He grimaced. ''But… I'll deal with that when I have to''
Mikey nodded happily and followed his big brother, he was glad everything was good again!
Keep giving me your ideas! This is really fun!
