A/N: I'm rewatching How I Met Your Mother and I thought this was a fun concept for Donnie.
Usagi enlisted the help of Mikey and Leo to lock you and Donnie in his room until you defined your relationship. Usagi had tried to get DonTon to start the conversation, but he didn't like talking about his feelings. So he avoided the talk, defining your relationship. Usagui had enough, you 2 needed to have the talk.
"So..." Leo sighs. "You want to lock Donnie's room... How do you plan to do that? Donnie could simply have Shelldon unlock it."
"I think I can make it to where he doesn't have access to any of his tech while the door is locked, I just need cover." Usagi explained.
"Let's do it!" Mikey cheered.
So they set to work. Mikey and Leo tried to keep you and Donnie out of the lab so Usagi could fiddle with Donnie's tech and lock him out until he turned it back on.
You stayed the night, like you do most nights. In the morning you woke to head home, only to find Donnie's door locked. You hate waking him, but he was the most knowledgeable about his own tech.
"Don, the doors locked." You shake him slightly.
"Why is it locked...? I never lock it when you're here." He yawns. Donnie got up and tried the door, still locked. He grabbed his wrist tech and started messing around. "What the fuck!? I'm locked out!"
"Have the talk." You could hear Usagi on the other side. "The door stays locked until you have the talk and write the definition, slipping it under the door."
"Are you fucking kidding me!?" Donnie asks.
"The talk?" You question.
"Usagi wants us to define our relationship." Donnie scoffs.
"I didn't think we need it... I thought we were on the same page..." You answer.
"And what is that?"
"Donnie's... My... Um... My boyfriend."
"You don't sound very sure. Have the talk."
You sat in silence for who knows how long, maybe hours, you weren't keeping track. But you were getting nowhere. You were no closer to freedom. He continued to pace, whispering to himself.
You sit on the bed, Donatello stands in front of you. He begins pacing, muttering to himself, you can't hear what he's saying.

"Don." You begin. "Donnie? Donatello!"
"Sorry... Sorry." He huffs.
"Usagui is right. We need to talk about his." You continue. "What are we? What do you want us to be?"
"I don't... I don't know." Donnie shook his head, sitting next to you. He rested his head in his hands.
"Me neither..."
"I don't know... I love that you are you when you're with me. I thought things were going amazing... I just want to be enough for you."
"You are! You're already enough for me."
"I can't think of anyone else. I want you all the time. I really really like you..." He huffs, moving to face you. "2 reallys."
"It sucks when you're not around..." You hold his hands, anxious to continue your thoughts. "Does that mean we're in a relationship? Partners?"
"Is that what that means?"
"I'm no expert, but I believe so."
"Then, yes. That's what I want."
"We're dating."
"Yes." Donatello smiles. He leans forward and kisses you softly. The first kiss of your official relationship.
There continued to be no answer. For hours. You were both hungry. You tried to busy yourselves with other things. You laid on his bed, a book left open on your chest as you stared at the ceiling.
Donnie grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down what you had agreed upon. You slipped it under the door for Usagui. There was no answer.
⋆｡ ﾟ｡☁︎👾｡ ﾟ｡⋆
"Sorry!" Mikey stood at the opening door. "We had to make a run!"
"I thought it would take longer." Usagi laughs.
"So..." Leo held the paper, leaning against the doorframe. "Dating?"
"That's what we decided." Donnie shoves past them, dragging you along. "Let's get food."
