Everybody knew that Donnie loved April, that wasn't a secret in any way... but Donnie's twin brother, Raph, only ever told Donnie who he loved.
"Come on, it's not that bad." Donnie assured his brother. Donnie was getting a bit tired of Raph constantly coming into his lab and complaining that his secret crush wouldn't notice him.
"Listen. I know how you feel, I mean, April won't notice me... and she's never going to like me back." Donnie said, trying, and failing, to make the sentence seem comforting to his younger twin brother.
Raph just looked at him and blinked. "Donnie... I'm doomed." Raph groaned, just loud enough for Donnie to worry that Leo or Mikey might hear him.
"No, you're not. Listen, he's shown interest in you, he hangs out with you all the time, and you two share a lot of the same interests. It's going to be fine." Donnie stated, annoyed that his brother wouldn't just leave him alone to work and instead chose to complain about his love life. Well, the lack there of.
"Donnie..." Donnie rolled his eyes, prepared to reassure his brother once again. "Yes Raph?" Donnie asked turing around to see his brother still sitting on the desk.
"You're gonna get somewhere with April, I promise." Donnie was dumbstruck by his brothers comment, he was surprised that Raph had known that he was upset about April.
"Thanks Raph. You should get to bed though... it's getting late and we have school tomorrow." Donnie replied, walking towards the lab doors. "Ok." Raph agreed, getting off the table and walking out the lab, dragging Donnie with him. "W-what are you doing?!" Donnie exclaimed, trying to get out of his brother's grasp and back into his lab.
"You're going to bed too, genius." Raph stated, dragging Donnie down the hall. "Fine." Donnie replied, letting his brother bring him to his room. "Wasn't up for debate bro." Raph replied, stopping in front of Donnie's door.
"Night D." Raph said as he walked down the hall to his own room. "Goodnight Raph." Donnie replied, walking into his room and climbing into bed.
This will have several parts, I'm thinking 3 but I'm not sure.
