When life gives you Violets (or whatever the saying is)
This is a preview of my new Donatello/Reader fanfic (yes, I know, I still haven't finished Videogame Lover, but I swear I am working on it!), you can find in on my AO3.
One night, standing on your balcony, you meet a huge turtle-man. You should be scared, instead, he becomes your close (very annoying) friend. And with him, someone else becomes a lot more than a friend.
Don't use my work to train AI, don't even think about posting my work into AI.
The streetlights piercing the darkness were the only source of light. Everything too far from them was covered in a black and blue blanket. The moon was hiding behind thick clouds, adding to the mysterious vibe of the night. Periodical clicking could be heard as you walked down the road. For such a big city, it was oddly quiet tonight. Only a few cars passed by you, most likely people who were returning home from work just like you. A bag hanging from one of your shoulders, your other arm swinging by your side. The chill breeze caressing your face, stroking your hair like a mother’s hand. Your mind stopped wandering as you reached you apartment building. As you were walking up the stairs, you fished out the keys. With a soft click, the door opened and revealed a long hallway with an elevator at the end. You exhaled, slowly dragging your feet towards it. The closer you were to your sofa, the heavier your body felt.
A loud ding brought you back, the elevator door opening and letting you in. Pressing the button to your floor, you leaned against the wall. Maybe if you had the energy, you would choose bath today, but shower would have to be enough. And some tea, definitely some tea before bed. Letting the warm liquid flood your body and lull you to sleep. You could almost feel it, but again, your wandering mind was brought back by the door opening. With a sigh, you walked out of the elevator and towards your apartment. Unlocking the door, taking your shoes off and locking the door again became an automatic habit. The little light from outside helped you locate the switch easily.
Everything was the same as when you left. First, you headed towards the bathroom, taking off your bag and leaving it in front of the door. You took off your clothes, dropping them on the ground, and stepping inside the bathtub, pulling the curtain to stop water from getting everywhere. The warm water felt like balm on your sore body. You stood there for a moment or two, letting your hair and skin get soaked. With one hand, you reached for the shampoo and squeezed some into your other palm. The cool feeling was soon replaced by soft foam. You let yourself feel the comfort of washing your hair, softly scratching your skin in a pampering way. Next was your body. After properly rinsing out the shampoo, you took your loofa and applied a bit of shower gel. It felt like the whole day was getting washed away, as you massaged your skin.
Patting the water away with a towel, you looked into the fogged mirror. You could see contours of your body, relaxed, but still tired. You pulled on your pajamas and left the bathroom. From your bag, you pulled out your phone and went to the kitchen. Putting the phone on the counter, with your other hand you reached for the kettle. There was still water left from the morning, so you just turned it on and focused on grabbing a box of tea and a cup. Just as you were done preparing everything, the water finished boiling. The smell hit you almost immediately after you filled the cup. It was calming, exactly what you needed. Staring at your reflection, your mind started wandering again. Today was not the best, still, you wished to forget about it. Tomorrow will be better. Hopefully.
Grabbing the drink, you walked towards your balcony. Maybe fresh air will help you relax more. As you opened the door, cold wind hit your face. You stepped on the tiles, leaving the door opened. Cup in one hand, you leaned against the railing, sipping on your drink. Warmth spread through your body, calming your nerves a little. You closed your eyes, almost falling asleep like this, if not for the feeling of not being alone. Looking around, you noticed a shadow on the rooftop above you. Someone was there, probably watching you. It didn’t feel menacing though. Maybe it was the exhaustion taking over, but your mouth moved before you could think it through.
