Leo and Donnie had been two of your best friends for… as long as you can remember, really. The two were certainly an interesting duo - Donnie would often go on rants about his latest creations, and Leo? He made horrible jokes. But alas, you care about the both of them - always have, probably always will.

…But when Leo had expressed his feelings toward you? Things changed. Donnie always seemed annoyed, when Leo would so much as speak to you, or hold your hand, or tell you one of his awful jokes. And, apparently? Leo wasn’t entirely oblivious to his brother’s sudden behavioral change. Sure, Donnie was always ticked off at Leo for one thing or another - but not… like this.

That night, you’d come over to the lair, to simply hang out, maybe watch a few movies. Raph and Mikey were elsewhere - you’ve always been closer with the twins, so they gave you your space when you came over for movie night.

…It was already getting awkward - Leo was being himself, as usual - trying to impress you, attempting to get your attention at every chance he got - and Donnie? He was… oddly silent. Faintly, you could detect some sort of… tension, in the air.
