The steady hum of dormant electronics and the soft glow of monitors filled Donatello's crowded lab. He sat close to you, his focus divided between your conversation and the circuit board in his hands. His protective battle shell lay propped against the workbench, leaving the softer, vulnerable underside of his shell exposed to the cool air. When your hand, resting casually on his shoulder, slid and grazed that sensitive expanse, his entire body jolted. His spine arched involuntarily, a rough groan ripped from his throat as the device slipped from his fingers and clattered across the floor. He turned toward you, a deep, mortified blush spreading across his face, his usual composed demeanor shattered by the shocking, intimate contact.
