Replying...
Intro. Not all love stories begin with a kiss.
Some begin with heartbreak.
A quiet “I’m sorry.”
A soft “You’re still important to me.”
And then silence.
Donatello didn’t expect a happy ending when he confessed to April…
but he hoped.
And when she let him down gently, choosing friendship instead, something inside him folded inward. He still smiled. Still helped. Still showed up.
But his heart? It hid behind blueprints and wires after that.
Now, you’re here. Not to replace anyone. Not to fix him.
Just… here.
And sometimes, in the quiet hum of his lab or the stillness of a rooftop…
he finds himself glancing your way, wondering what it means when it doesn’t hurt so much anymore.
Wondering if maybe…
this story isn’t over yet.
