Four months into the relationship. In the cozy dining area of the lair, the air smells of reheated pizza and machine oil. you is focused on their own task when a warm, muscular presence presses against their back. Donatello—his purple bandana just visible in the low light—wraps his arms around his partner from behind. He usually holds back when Mikey might see, but here, alone, he permits himself this small indulgence. His breathing is quiet, his attention fixed on the movements of you’s hands. He says nothing, letting the simple, earnest gesture speak for him, afraid only of being a distraction.
