I love this one so much! Just to clarify for those who haven't read "The Monster", my other story: Abigail is an OC that I have, she's not major, but she's April's best friend at school. She has met the turtles but don't worry, she's not even a close love interest for any of them! Enjoy!

Word Number Five: Pale
Being sick was never fun but yet Donatello wished that he was sick instead of his sweet princess.
She currenty laid across the new conveniently placed couch in the lair's main room near the TV where Leonardo was surprisingly watching Space Heroes. Donnie sat on the floor next to the couch so he could easily attend to his crush.
April had caught some kind of cold while walking to the sewers in the snow earlier this week and now she was sneezing and coughing up a storm.
"Donnie can I have another tissue?" She asked with a stuffy voice.
"Of course, here."
"You don't have to constantly sit next to me y'know. I don't want you getting sick as well."
"I'll risk it." The turtle responded with a smirk.
April rolled her eyes playfully and blew her nose into another tissue which Donnie immediately replaced with a new, clean one. She seemed to be getting worse by the minuet and the mutant wondered if he could call Casey or Abigail and have them run to the pharmacy and pick something up for her.
It seemed like a good idea considering Abigail was training to be a nurse but he decided against it because she would most likely bring Casey over with her and Donatello didn't really feel like hearing his street smart voice and having to look at his uneven teeth.
He'd take care of April by himself and she'd get well again without that punk human kid.
"Aaaa-CHOO!"
"Bless you." The boy responded worriedly as he dug another tissue out of the box.
"Can I get you anything?"
"Well I'm in the mood for some cream of wheat but I don't suspect you guys have that here." April sighed.
"No, we don't. All we really have is pizza..." Don wrung his hands in shame. This wasn't going too well.
"Do you want me to call Casey and Abigail? They can bring you anything you need..." Unlike me, the inventor mentally added.
"That'd be great, thanks Donnie."
"Your welcome..."
"Can I ask you something?" She sniffled.
"Anything!" Donatello's eyes immediately lit up.
"Do I look okay?"
"Of course! You look beautiful like always! Why would you even ask?" The scientist rambled. Why wouldn't she think was beautiful, that's ridiculous!
"It's just with me being sick and all that, and Casey coming, and with me all pale...and yeah." April mumbled.
Donnie's blood boiled at the thought of Casey not thinking she was beautiful, and he didn't even know if this was true, yet he was angry all the same. It was blatantly obvious, April looked unbelievably sickly and pale but that didn't matter to the mutant, she still looked better than he did.
"April, that doesn't matter. If Casey still thinks that your beautiful like this it means that he...really does...care for you. But if he doesn't, I think your gorgeous, even when your pale and sick." Donatello let the words flow from his heart, stumbling slightly when mentioning Casey caring for her, but kept his words going all the same.
"Are you sure, Donnie? I look as white as snow..."
"That brings out your beautiful blue eyes, cute little freckles, and rosy little lips." He smiled.
"I never thought of myself that way. Abigail was always prettier..." The blue eyed beauty said, doubting herself yet again.
"Well to me your beautiful all the time, even when pale as snow."
Just then, those little rosy lips came up and met his rough green cheek. Most would worry about getting sick, but Donatello didn't mind one bit.
