Happy Birthday!
Donatello vs Fem!Reader
It was a pleasant and warm night on that Friday. The streets were full with anonymous smiles and being just one among them gave you an amazing feeling of peace. It was your birthday and you always liked that day, especially after leaving your parent’s house and creating your own traditions: now, every time that day came you left home for a quiet evening stroll to enjoy the rising of the stars.
Back in your apartment, you sighed as you grabbed your keys and realized that for the first time in all those years celebrating alone you missed someone’s company... Donatello had told you that he and his brothers had an arrangement that shouldn't be postponed… nor explained. You knew what that meant: the city needed protection more than you needed company and that was a bitter truth.You entered your apartment thinking of his promise of making up to you but as you turned the lights on and thought of the possibility of finally confessing…
“SURPRISE!”
You gasped and jumped at the sigh of all of those people at your apartment, there they were: all the four terrapins and their human companions wearing party hats and party blowers gathered around a table filled with pizza slices and a huge chocolate cake, the ceiling was covered with balloons of all colors and a banner written “Happy birthday Y/N” on it. You almost had no time to contain the happy tears forming in your eyes as Michelangelo swept you off the ground and held you tight in a big bear hug.
“Happy Birthday, Angelcakes!” He said kissing your cheek, you returned his affection and once he placed you on the ground again you enjoyed the greeting of all your friends. Once you hugged April and did your best to contain your tears, she secretly whispered on your ears:
“It was Donnie’s idea. He’s too shy to say it out loud but he did everything to make it perfect.”
Awkwardly standing in the corner of the room, waiting for his time to greet you, Donatello held something in his hands that you quickly identified as a tiny box wrapped in purple paper. You approached him with a big smile and watery eyes and he held you tight and close, placing his head on top of yours and slightly sniffing your hair, he always did that and you knew he thought you didn’t notice it. The hug latest forever and yet not enough and as he let you go you placed your hands on his cheek and stroke it lightly:
“I know this is your idea. Thank you… This is the best birthday party I could ask for.”
“O-Ooh! Well, Leo helped! And of course Master Splinter allowed our day off so of course this isn’t exactly all my merit b-but…” He stuttered avoiding your eyes and in a brief moment of silence you placed a small kiss on his cheek, way too close to his mouth.
A teasing laughter came from behind you as Michelangelo sang a song about trees and kisses and you saw Donatello’s face go sour, stabbing his brother with his eyes.
“Can we go somewhere else?” He said firmly, gracefully ignoring Mike's teasing.
“Of course!” You answered and guided him to your balcony, impressed by his new founded attitude.
“I’ve made you something.” He almost whispered as he handed you the tiny box. Once you opened its content made you gasp: an elegant bracelet made of what looked like stainless steel, embellished by a locket with a sculpted turtle in metal.
“Donnie! This is beautiful…”
“Oh! Did you like it? Great! I’ve made it myself!” He gave you a childish smile of pride “It has an emergency button underneath! So you can use it to call for me-us! U-uh… When you need help. I also think you should know it has a tracking device but I solemnly swear that I will only use when and if you activate it! I would never… You know! I don’t wanna stalk you, please don’t think of me as one of those creep men! Turtle? Uh, well…” He clears his throat awkwardly and you are still admiring your gift.
“Would you help me put it on?” You said, offering your wrist and the bracelet. He held your arm so delicately you felt as paper and once the bracelet was on you took this opportunity to hold his hands, gazing deeply in his eyes and couldn’t control as your eyes dropped to his lips, together now in this amazing moment of intimacy, you leaned forward hoping to finally-
“Y/N!” He said, suddenly waking you up from your transe “I-I… I need to tell you something! I know we have been friend all this time but I can’t no longer hide the fact that I have feelings for you and of course you probably know that because I am terrible at hiding that, well, uh… Well I am sorry If that may come as a surprise I guess maybe you also could have not noticed right?”
"Can you please just kiss me now?" You whispered, hoping your worlds could end his rambling.
“...And well I know it’s a lot to ask knowing I am so different from you and our lives are so- Wait what did you say?”
"If you don't shut up and kiss me right now I swear to god..." You teased, holding his face kindly and bringing your lips together. Finally joined in a passionate kiss, you felt his strong arms holding you close to his hard plaston and hypnotized by the silkiness of his lips against yours you remembered of all those years you spent your birthday happily on your own and realized that from now on… You didn’t want to spend another day without him.
Hello! I hope I'm doing this right - if not lemme know!! qvq Could I request 3, 44 and 49 fluff? With Donnie and a shy, trans (f to m) reader?

Donatello (TMNT) vs reader
"... so as you reach the event horizon, you are moving at such high speeds due to the strong gravitational force from the black hole, that time will slow down." Donnie said enthusiastically while unscrewing the last piece of your CPU. He turned his head to look at you: "... I'm sorry, am I boring you? Sometimes I do get a little carried away."
You smiled honestly as you watched him disassemble the machinery. At that moment it didn't even felt like you were crying just a couple minutes ago when you called him, desperate for an honest moment of true kindness that only he would provide. Now here you were, comfortably tucked under a pillow-blanked, watching Donnie work and wondering for the hundredth time if he could tell how much you cared for him.
"Not at all!" You answered "You know I love your TED Talks"
He looked at you trying to repress a smile, not knowing if your mockery was light hearted or if he should get the cue that he was being unpleasant. It was always like that when you were around... your company was everything he could ever ask for and the main reason for his sleepless nights. All he wanted was to impress you, to deserve your affection and your attention but his insecurity stopped him to make a first move... So he did everything to make your life easier. He fixed every single electrical appliance in your house, even the ones that still worked - he installed new security systems and gave you direct access to him (just in case), now, he was changing some pieces of your computer, so it could have a greater performance.
He stared at you for a bit longer this time, trying to unsolve the mystery he couldn't crack, you felt your cheeks burn once you met his gaze and once again your heart skip a beat while you tried to avoid the butterflies in your stomach.
"Y/N..." Said Donnie, looking away from your eyes, staring at the screwdriver in his hands "I am sorry I am not always the best company. I wished I could help you with other things besides you know... Technology."
You felt your throat tightening as he confessed his feelings. How could you even begin to explain the proportion of his misunderstandings?
"You know sometimes you call me with real life problems, situations I couldn't even imagine what it feels to go through and all I can do is show up and give you a new microwave." He continued "I just wished you knew... That I do really care I just... I don't know how to be a better... friend."
The next words that came out of your mouth where so uncontrollable and unreal yourself couldn't even believe it:
"Donnie, are you out of your mind!? What do you mean you are not a good company? You are the first person I call every time I need someone! You've been with me through one of the worst phases I've lived! You had seen me at the bottom of the well and yet there wasn't even a single moment you weren't by my side!" Words came out of your mind like a waterfall of repressed feelings "Do you think I keep calling you so you can fix my fridge?? I mean not that I don't like that you fixed my stuff I really do, like honestly you're the kind of person I would brag about dating to my friends! Uh, not that I would like to date you well I do wish we could be more than friends but I know you probably aren't even interested and that's alright by the way! I don't mean to make everything awkward uh - I... I don't you want to think that I like when you come around because I like the things you do for me, I like it when you come around because recently it feels like everything good in my life leads back to you!"
You finished your monologue not quite sure if you had really said all you thought you did but Donatello was looking at you like someone who just seen a hurricane parade across the room. His eyes were wide open and he held the screwdriver in a awkward position as if someone froze time as he moved. You couldn't feel your body and it felt like you were listening underwater: how long had it been since you felt this nervous?
"I am sorry I am... I am just rambling! Really I don't want things to be awkward between us! I just-"
"I wish we could be more than friends too." He suddenly said, no hesitation in his voice and as your eyes met you felt the world around disappear and Donatello's arms revolve you in a embrace that felt like home. Now this close, you knew as long as you got him next to you there was no part of life you couldn't get through.
