HERE'S ANOTHER ONE-SHOT
"No Mikey, you have to distribute first, then you add the like terms."
Mikey gave Donnie a confused look, glancing at his math homework.
"What…?" Mikey asked, raising a confused eyebrow.
You see, Mikey hasn't been doing so well in math, and Donnie had taken it upon himself to help his brother out. Though, things aren't going the way that Donnie had intended. He had expected Mikey to at least have some idea of what they were doing this week, a basic understanding of this week's unit.
But as Donnie looked down at his brother's homework, he felt as if the unfinished problems were mocking him.
"You have to multiply the number next to the parenthesis, see?" Donnie demonstrated what he spoke of, writing on the paper. Michelangelo's eyes followed the pencil, watching his brother do the math problem with no problem.
How was Donnie able to do it so easily? It felt like Don barely had to think in order for him to get the answer. This bothered Mikey, though he didn't show it. How did Donnie understand this so easily? Mikey knew that the genius was in all the advanced classes, but what confused him was the fact that Donnie was able to get into those classes.
Michelangelo let his mind wander, no longer paying attention to what Donnie was saying.
"Mikey? Mikey!" Donnie shouted, waving his hand infront of Mikey's face, making the latter shake his head, exiting his train of thought.
"Were you listening to anything I was saying?" Donnie asked, looking frustrated.
"Y-yeah, I gotta distribute and multiply and stuff." Mikey quickly responded, trying not to seem nervous. He didn't mean to make his brother upset, but he can't help but let his mind wander!
"Ok, so you listened to what I said five minutes ago?" Donnie asked, now having an irritated expression on his face. Mikey looked down at the ground in guilt, feeling awkward about the whole situation.
He had never truly enjoyed school, aside from the part of hanging with friends, and eating the school's pizza. It was the learning part that bugged him. He could never really concentrate or comprehend what he'd been taught, and had continued to get not-so-good grades.
And getting into the whole topic of 'Why are your grades so low' had always been a touchy subject. He had never known why, because he was able to talk about everything else. Mikey knew he had a short attention span, but it wasn't anything too serious.
It had gotten him upset multiple times, making him feel almost jealous about how his brothers were able to concentrate on any task that was handed to them. He never understood, how come he could never focus?
"Mikey!" Donnie yelled again, shaking the blonde's shoulder.
"H-huh? Oh, sorry bro." Mikey shook himself away from his thoughts, trying to put all his concentration onto his math homework.
"Honestly Mikey, you have to focus! You'll never learn anything if you keep daydreaming." Donnie scolded, getting more frustrated.
"I know, sorry D. I'm not even daydreaming, I just can't focus…" Mikey admits, looking up at his brother.
They stayed in silence for seconds, which felt more like hours.
"How do you do it D?" Mikey asked, breaking the silence in the room. Donnie looked over at him in confusion, raising his eyebrow.
"Do what?" He asked, Mikey's disappointed face concerning him.
"Stay focused and stuff. I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't understand. You're always able to keep up in school and in training. How do you stay focused like that?" Mikey's question upset Donnie, in a way that's never happened before.
Everyone knew that the youngest wasn't the best at focusing, but never did anything to change it. Sure, Master Splinter had tried and had used ancient japanese methods, such as meditation, to get him to focus, but they never seemed to work.
But Donnie never knew that this was a real struggle for Mikey. Yeah, he knew that Mikey would sometimes get upset when falling behind once in awhile, but it never occurred to him that this had always been a question on his brother's mind.
Donnie looked down at his brother, who looked like he was trying not to show how nervous he was. Why was he so nervous?
"Mikey, it's not that big of a deal. Some people just have different attention spans. I'm just able to focus on something for a long period of time. It's not exactly something you can change out of the blue. Why are you asking me this all the sudden?" Mikey seemed to become a little less nervous at his brother's calming voice, and he knew that Donnie wouldn't judge or make fun of him.
"I don't know, but are you sure you don't have any weird chemicals or something that can make me focus?" Mikey asked, almost sounding sarcastic. He was half joking, and half serious. If Donnie did have anything like that, Mikey would take it in a heartbeat.
"No, no I don't. But I can tell you're upset by this." Donnie let out a small chuckle at the first sentence, turning his whole body towards Mikey.
"I guess… But are you sure there isn't anything that can fix this?" Mikey asked, admitting he wasn't that happiest at the moment.
"Fix? Mikey, there isn't anything to fix. You're great just the way you are, and yeah, maybe there is room for improvement for focusing, but that's nothing to get upset over. You'll always be the best little brother I could have." Donnie replied, reassuring his brother.
"Really? Thanks D!" This made Donnie smile. It's not like his brother to be anything but happy. Donnie had only wished the rest of the world was this easy to become happy.
"No problem. Do you want to take a break?" Donnie asked, not wanting his brother to get upset all over again about the equations scattered across the sheet of paper.
"Nah, not right now. Do you think I could do these by myself?" Mikey asked, feeling more confident than before.
Donnie nodded, getting up and ruffling Mikey's hair, exiting the room. He was glad that he could cheer his brother up, since he had made Donnie smile multiple times. He was even more happy of the fact that Mikey was doing his homework all by himself. Maybe he'll be doing this more often…
"Donnie! Come back I need you for the next question!"
At least, in the future he will.
Yay bro fluff! Donnie you're such a good brother! I'm planning on updating once or twice a week with this.
I'm doing the next one about Leo, but I don't know who else. Please PM or just review if you want to give me a request! And OF COURSE I will give any of you credit for helping me out!
Love you :3
