Alright, Donnie was here. He was in the same dimension as you. He was there as Donatello had promised he'd be. Your mind finally had comprehended those facts, but else what he had been saying still seemed fuzzy for you. To understand it you had to talk to Donnie though it hurt. You couldn't let Donatello be the one to solve the mess he technically wasn't a part off.

You moved slowly and opened your eyes timidly to be met with the face of Donatello. He looked to you skeptically, but to assure him you felt better you smiled lightly. He didn't look convinced, yet still he moved his hands from your ears to let you be part of the world once more.

"Don't push yourself," Donatello commanded. "If you feel bad this can wait."

"I-It's fine. I'm better now," you assured. "Please let me talk to him."

"(Y/n)..."

"Please."

He sighed and stood from the bed leaving for his chair. For a moment you watched him quietly while in your mind thanking him for his care. Then you suddenly felt awkwardly aware of yourself and the sad looking Turtle who was watching you. You wanted to talk to him, but how did you start? After had freaked out in front of him everything seemed awkward to try.

Trying your luck you hesitantly turned to him. "Um...I-Is your brothers doing well?"

"H-Huh?!" Startled that you actually talked to him, Donnie stuttered. "Y-Yeah. They're a little caught up finding the other girls. Apparently our time-mistress, Renet, has been busy with the time-scepter..."

"O-Oh."

"Y-Yeah."

You didn't exactly understand what Donnie was talking about, which let you be unable to reply. A new silence fell upon the two of you while you with great caution looked anywhere bet at each other. Trying to break the ice Donnie cleared his throat although it was a little louder than intended.

"(Y-Y/n), I know it's a lot to ask but...But will you listen to what I have to say?"

Your stomach flopped uncomfortable, but nervously you nodded. "S-Sure."

"T-Thank you." Donnie took a deep breath before he turned his eyes to meet with yours. "(Y/n), I'm sorry for what happened back at home."

"It's okay..."

He shook his head hard. "It's not. I hurt you even though I promised you I wouldn't. You're so precious, yet I took you for granted. I'm really really sorry, and I can't say it enough. All you wanted was to help but instead I called you a burden and treated you poorly...."

Hearing his taller counterpart's use of words, Donatello attempted to stand from the chair he had been listening from, but one glance from you stopped him from doing so. He frowned impatiently at your stubbornness as it was visible you were in pain by the memories.

Donnie hang his head in misery. "You mean so much to me, (Y/n). You're that one thing I'd never change in my life as you complete everything and give it purpose. I lied when I said I didn't need you. Everything I need is you. I want to prove I deserve to be your other half, but really I have no evidence that I do, since I don't deserve so sweet and amazing a person as you."

The sound of sobbing erupted through out the lab. At first you thought it was your body that had given in to the tears you were suppressing, but then you realized it wasn't yours. The sobbing came from Donnie. First when you noticed the drops that fell to the bed's sheets, it dawned for you that he was crying. Donnie; the sensitive and gentle Turtle you had fell in love with, was crying.

Unable to manage your own feelings, you scooted over to him and cupped his face in your hands while your own tears already were streaming down. You lifted his face to yours while you smiled and whimpered at the same time. Gently moving his hands up to your eyes he wiped away the droplets although they just was replaced with new ones.

"I love you," Donnie uttered and repeated it multiple times. "I love you and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Me too," you replied. "I'm sorry. Really really sorry."

You smiled to one another, grinning at the pitiful condition you both were in. It was so suppose to be a happy moment, but instead you were teamworking on making a new ocean right there inside of the lab. Donnie hugged you carefully in to him and cradled you. A secure and soothing gesture you had missed so terribly much.

"I-I want to go home. I want to see everyone again," you told leaning against him. "But I'm so tired."

"We'll go home. Just hold around me," Donnie encouraged and lifted you up and out of bed.

Donatello who had kept his distance as you had wished came over with a mixed look at the fact you was being carried by his counterpart. "(Y/n), are you sure? If you leave stay away forever, okay?"

You smiled to him at his harsh way of saying: 'Live happy. Never return here sad again', and nodded. "Don't worry I'm safe. I'll miss you."

He huffed and shoved the two of you towards the portal that had showed up in front of the door. "Finally some peace. But don't you dare starve, or drown, or fall, or become depressed or die just 'cause I'm not there, alright?"

Giggling you waved in farewell to him over Donnie's shoulder, as you were carried in Donnie's arms into the pool of colors you once before had been in. Your happy ending was awaiting on the other other side.
