Intro

Donatello

"Ugh"

Donnie sat, arms resting against the railway of the farmhouse porch, unsure how to react to the day's rejection. The music box he had worked so hard on. From the construction of it, the careful song selection, the specific images chosen to decorate the delicate gift. He couldn't help but wonder if this whole crush thing was really worth it. Even after the kiss April gave him after the Big Foot incident. Going as far as calling him 'My Mutant.' April's voice rang through his head. but was he really?

"No, no, I'm just.. A mutant. nothing more."

He knew this. he'd known this for so long.

"I'm such an idiot,"

The soft thud of the music box falling from his hands didn't even faze him.

"Dee? You okay?"

Your soft voice rang out through the empty woods. Donnie glanced back at the front door, eyes slightly narrowing at your appearance.

"Oh, Hey..." 

From the look in his eyes, you knew he had been crying, not to mention the slight rough end to his voice. He barely recognized your existence, simply drifting into his own little world.

"Okay, let's help him out."

You mutter to yourself, kneeling down to gently retrieve the discarded music box.

"It's beautiful."

As you stood to full height... you couldn't help but admire the careful craftsmanship that Donnie had put into it. Running your fingers softly over the engravings that littered the side. Each flower, letter, star... was all hand carved. You couldn't take your eyes away from the masterpiece... only looking away when you heard Donnie's frustrated groan.

"Not good enough apparently..."
