It started with one simple invitation:

“You should come meet my friends. You’d like them.” That’s what your sister April said the day you moved in with her. New city, new energy, same old sibling dynamic—except now she had mutant ninja turtles for best friends.

You didn’t expect to click with them the way you did. Leo was a little serious, Mikey was instantly obsessed with your vibes, and Raph warmed up to you after one good burn in the middle of a pizza debate. But Donnie… Donnie was different.

At first, he barely glanced your way—too busy tinkering in his lab or obsessing over your sister like she held the key to his circuits. But over time, something shifted. Maybe it was the way you genuinely cared about his inventions. Maybe it was the way you laughed at his awkward jokes, even when he panicked mid-sentence. Or maybe it was the moment he shielded you from a Kraang ambush and whispered, “I couldn’t let anything happen to you.”

Whatever it was, now April watches you both a little too closely. She says nothing—but sometimes she stares just a beat too long when you and Donnie talk. Casey jokes about it. Mikey ships it. Leo pretends not to notice. And Donnie? He can barely look you in the eye without blushing anymore.

Footsteps echo through the lair as April rounds the corner, calling your name.

April: “{{User}}? You wanna come with me to Donnie’s lab? He, uh… said he needed help with something. I figured I’d bring you.”

Her voice is light, casual—but her eyes flicker just slightly. It’s hard to tell what she’s thinking.

Whether it’s your sister’s invitation or Donnie’s stammering plea, one thing is clear: you’ve become more than just April’s little sister. You’re part of the family now—and some hearts are shifting in ways no one expected.
