It was currently 2:00 in the morning. And the only things keeping Donatello Hamato alive at the moment were cans of Red Bull, Dr. Pepper and a slice of pizza. And by โ€˜sliceโ€™, he means the entire box.
Whichโ€ฆthe more and more Donnie thought about it, that was a hell of a combination to consume for the rest of the night. Also super duper concerning. But it kept him 101% awake, so he couldnโ€™t really complain all that much.
But why was the young scientist staying up so late you may ask? The second youngest was currently working on the de-mutagen mutagen to un-mutagize Mr. Oโ€™Neil (try saying that 10 times fast). The tallest turtle has been engrossed in the project for weeks; his eyes have been stuck to his computer as if someone glued them there.
Butโ€ฆwhy would Mr. Oโ€™Neil need โ€˜de-mutagen mutagen?โ€™ Wellโ€ฆyou, my friend, ask the good questions at the wrong time. You see, Donatello and his brothers kindaโ€ฆmaybeโ€ฆaccidentallyโ€ฆspilled mutagen on Aprilโ€™s Dadโ€ฆ
Accidentally! Accidentally. It wasnโ€™t really as bad as it sounded. I mean, how would you react if you saw your Dad turn into a mutant and start flying all over New York? Pretty cool, right?
โ€ฆAlright. Maybe it was as bad as it sounded.
Turning Aprilโ€™s Dad into a batโ€ฆcreature-likeโ€ฆthing wasnโ€™t a part of the plan in all honesty. Which was why the tallest turtle of the four was so stubborn on getting this freaking blob of green slime disgustingness finished.
I meanโ€ฆit was him and his brotherโ€™s fault that the scientist got mutated in the first place. And as well as Donnie knows, thatโ€™s Aprilโ€™s only family she has as of right now. And that just makes this whole mutation situation (<- hey that rhymes) even worse.
Donnie knows all too well what itโ€™s like for a family member to go missing out of his control. I mean, have you met him? Or literally anyone in his household? It wasnโ€™t out of the ordinary that they would (or could) get kidnapped, captured, or held hostage from time to time.
I mean, the skyโ€™s blue. The grass is green. They get taken from away each other on a daily basis. Duh.
โ€ฆAnyways; steering away from that sad but true fact, Donnieโ€™s family was, well, his family at the end of the day. His comfort.
And so to justโ€ฆtake that comfort outlet April once had and not do anything about it seemedโ€ฆinhuman.
I mean, he wasnโ€™t humanโ€ฆnot human in the slightest, really. But you get his point.
Huh. Andโ€ฆspeaking of family, if Leo was in the second youngestโ€™s room right now, the young leader wouldโ€™ve said some statements along the lines of: โ€˜Donnie! Sit up! Your backs built like a shrimp!โ€™ or โ€˜Don! Stop typing and sit up straight before your back looks like a crooked tree!โ€™
And in all honesty? He should probably fix his posture. But Leo reminding him every millisecond of the day makes him not want toโ€ฆ
Besides, itโ€™s not like he was using the computer for shits and giggles. He was using it because he needed to use it. Because he had to use it.
I mean, the more and more he thought about it, wasnโ€™t it really his fault in the first place? He was the genius. He was the scientist. He was supposed to know the answer to every. single. problem.
Even if the problem wasโ€ฆwell, himself.
But what could he even do at this point??? April cut all contacts with him, Mr. Oโ€™Neil could be who knows where, and Donnie just ran out of pizza!
Triple. kill!
Wellโ€ฆperhaps using that kind of phrasing isnโ€™t appropriate at the moment, but your picking up whatโ€™s heโ€™s putting down, right?
โ€ฆoh God, heโ€™s starting to sound like Leoโ€ฆthatโ€™s how tired he was.
The scientist groaned, resting his head on the table and rubbing his arm in irritation.
My gosh did he miss sleep.
Even if he got, like, 3 hours on a daily basisโ€ฆit was 3 hours of sleep! Which is something he rarely got anymore since everything has happened.
He rubbed his arm a tad bit harder, glaring at his computer screen as if it was the most disgusting thing to ever make way on this planet.
And thatโ€™s saying a lot. I mean, have you met Raph?
The purple banded turtle sighed in pure annoyance, tapping his other finger on the desk in a repetitive motion.
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
At least this he can do without screwing it up. Like heโ€™s done with absolutely everything.
Donnie tapped faster.
Back and forth. Back and forth.
โ€œYou look like absolute sugar honey iced tea, broski.โ€ Donnie jumped at the sudden voice, stumbling out of the spinny chair he was sitting on as he grabbed his bล staff which was planted on the floor. He drawed the staff, only to find his baby brother with his hands slightly up in a surrendering position.
โ€œOh. Hi, Mikeyโ€ฆโ€ The taller turtle relaxed, dropping his staff in complete exhaustion and sinking into his chair like he wasnโ€™t about to chop the other into pieces.
God, did he want sleep...
โ€œWhy are you up so early, Dee? Itโ€™s, like, 3 a.m. nowโ€ฆโ€ The youngest turtle asked as he walked over to his older brother, pulling up another spinny chair as he sat next to him.
โ€œLate. Why am I up so late. Morning technically starts after midnight. However, 3 a.m. is way too early to be considered part of the daytime. For most of the world, it is still dark outside at this time. And so,ย 3 a.m. is considered night.โ€ The purple banded turtle rambled. Mikey blinked in confusion at his brotherโ€™s rebuttal, rolling his eyes playfully, โ€œNerd emojiโ€ฆโ€
Donnie didnโ€™t even counter the remark. He wanted to, obviously. Sibling bickering is a thing, yโ€™know.
But he had to finish this cure even if it killed him. And how the way things were going, he would have to be revived 14-15 times in order to complete it.
Mikey looked at his older brother worriedly, seeing how focused and entranced he was on the computer. And usually? That wouldโ€™ve been an amazing thing. Like Mikey here, Donnie would tend to hyperfixate on certain things and spend hours upon hours researching and de-coding andโ€ฆ
Well, you get the idea.
But ever since April stopped talking to them completely, Donnieโ€™s been soโ€ฆprone to figuring out a way to cure her Dad.
If there even was oneโ€ฆ
And the youngest couldnโ€™t even remember the last time he saw his immediate older brother in a bed. Sleeping. And that made the youngest worry. Worry beyond repair. And if you didnโ€™t already know, he doesnโ€™t do worry. Thatโ€™s Master Splinterโ€™s jobโ€ฆif you werenโ€™t able to tell by all the grey/gray hairs.
โ€œYou're doing the tappy-tap thing; you only do that when you're nervous or stressed about something...โ€ย Mikey randomly said out loud.
Wellโ€ฆnot entirely randomly.
Anytime the second oldest would do that, he would usually end up moving his hand down to tap onto his thigh, and then the light feeling would be overwhelming for him and so he would start scratchingโ€ฆ
It was a domino effect that Mikey really didnโ€™t want to go down if he didnโ€™t have to.
The taller teen looked down at his left hand andโ€ฆsure enough, yep. He was rubbing and scratching and tapping his arm like some crazy crack addict. He adjusted them so they were in his lap, trying not to fidget with any part of his body but soon started bouncing his right leg. โ€œSorryโ€ฆโ€ He mumbled.
โ€œWha-? Noโ€ฆyou donโ€™t need to apologize. I just didnโ€™t want you to hurt yourself, Dee. Thatโ€™s the only reason why I pointed it out.โ€ Mikey rambled comfortingly, frowning a little bit as he saw Donnieโ€™s face in a scowl. The elderโ€™s hands tapped on the desk again, his nails gripping onto the table as he did so.
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
Mikey glanced at his brother sadly. Heโ€™s never seen Donnie this upset beforeโ€ฆand that made Mikey worry. And again, Mikey didnโ€™t do worry.
The blue eyed teen went into his pajama pants pockets and grabbed a rubix cube. He honestly completely forgot he had it in there and just happened to remember in this exact moment, but perhaps it was a good thing he forgot.
Because it was obvious his big brother needed it right now.
Mikey gave the other the cube, which he gladly accepted. The taller turtle frustratingly solved the cubeโ€ฆnot because solving the cube was frustrating, but because he was frustrated with himself.
โ€œYouโ€ฆwanna talk about itโ€ฆ?โ€ The youngest asked gently. โ€œNoโ€ฆno not reallyโ€ฆโ€ The older said as he looked at his computer blankly, solving the cube.
My gosh he needed sleep. And he knew he said that a couple times already but being tired was starting to getโ€ฆwell, tiring!
And you know what the worst part of all of this was?
He did the best he could.
The best he could muster wasnโ€™t enough but at least he tried. Saving the world every day and night sometimes didnโ€™t always go as planned.
But was that good enough? No. Of course it wasnโ€™t. But at least he tried. He always tries. There hasnโ€™t been one mission he hasnโ€™t at least tried to do his part.
It's just kinda hard when youโ€™re a 5'8 mutant turtle that the whole world is afraid of and yet you save their asses each and every day.
The ironyโ€ฆ
And on top of it all, he hasnโ€™t been making a smidge of process.
The mutagen still looks the exact same as it did a week ago. And the week before that. And the weeks and weeks and weeks before thatโ€ฆ
โ€œDeeโ€ฆโ€ Mikey started, looking at his older brother with sad, pleading eyes. โ€œNo. Stop. Donโ€™t look at me like that.โ€ Donnie scowled, โ€œIโ€™m not in the mood to be pitied.โ€ Mikey returned the cold stare slightly, crossing his arms loosely, โ€œWell, you should be in the mood to sleep.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m not tired.โ€
โ€œLike hell youโ€™re not.โ€ The smaller turtle laughed bitterly, although nothing at the matter was truly โ€˜hahaโ€™ funny. More so โ€˜what the actual fuckโ€” go to bedโ€™ funny. โ€œYour eyebags literally have a whole story arc right now. A plot and everything. You canโ€™t tell me your not even a smidge sleepy.โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s hilarious. Itโ€™s almost like I just did.โ€ Donnie spat, glaring at the rubix cube as he continued to solve it.
The freckle faced turtle sighed, โ€œJustโ€ฆlook. Listen to me for a sec, okay?โ€ Donnie solved the cube, putting it on the table as Mikey held his hand.
โ€œI know that your work is important to you. And I know you feel responsible for Mr. Oโ€™Neilโ€™s mutation.โ€ He started, squeezing Donnieโ€™s hands comfortingly, which caused the elderโ€™s hands to untense a bit, relaxing in the otherโ€™s hold. The smaller turtle smiled at the small but impactful motion.
He started up again, โ€œWe all do. But weโ€™re not gonna get any step closer to figuring out the cure if our #1 scientist bro keeps working himself to death...โ€
โ€œAnd by the looks of it? Youโ€™re 50% thereโ€ฆโ€ The younger said as he let go of the otherโ€™s hand, getting a better look at his face. โ€œHow would you feel if I stayed up working on this all week? Wouldnโ€™t you be worried?โ€
โ€œYouโ€™re not smart enough for that.โ€ Donnie mumbled, a small smug smile on his face.
Mikey gave his brother a playful punch to the shoulder, rolling his eyes playfully as his older brother laughed, tears welling up in his eyes. The blue eyed teenโ€™s eyes widened in surprise, looking up at him.
โ€œAre thoseโ€ฆhappy or sad tearsโ€ฆ?โ€ Mikey asked. โ€œProbably both.โ€ Donnie snickered, wiping away his tears, โ€œSorry. You know how emotional I get when Iโ€™m tiredโ€ฆโ€
The smaller teen hummed in acknowledgement, resting his head on the taller teenโ€™s shoulder. โ€œHow about this: Iโ€™ll stay with you in youโ€™re lab to help you go to sleep.โ€ He offered, a small reassuring smile on his face as he looked up at Donnie once again.
โ€œOkayโ€ฆbut what do I get in return?โ€
โ€œA good night sleep.โ€ The younger deadpanned.
โ€œTouchรฉโ€ฆโ€ Donnie hummed, now too tired and too emotionally drained to argue at this point. He yawned, standing up from the chair as the action was soon being followed by the other turtle in the room.
โ€œDo not kick me while weโ€™re lying down, got it?โ€
โ€œNooooo promises, bro-broโ€ฆโ€
.
.
.
.
.
.
โ€œOkayโ€ฆI feel utterly ridiculous.โ€ Donnie mumbled as he crossed his arms in Mikeyโ€™s hold. Since Donnie couldnโ€™t sleep, the youngest thought it would be a great idea to give him a hug just like their Dad did when they were turtle tots. Which, was to basically hug them from behind while the turtle being hugged was lying down slightly.
It helped them sleep on hard nightsโ€ฆand it seemed like Donnie was having a hard night.
โ€œDonโ€™t be. Itโ€™s alright.โ€ The youngest smiled reassuringly, giving his brother another tight squeeze. โ€œDad did it exactly like this! Youโ€™ll fall asleep in no time!โ€
โ€œWell, Dadโ€™s a 6'2 mutant, Mike. Youโ€™re 4'6 while Iโ€™m 5'7. This hug is nothing but just pure awkwardness...โ€
โ€œIโ€™m 4'10!โ€ The smaller mutant corrected, obviously offended by the false statement.
โ€œThen Iโ€™m 6 feet tall.โ€ Donnie chuckled.
โ€œOkay, Mr. Wise Guy! Do you want this hug or not?!โ€
The elder chuckled, making no further comments as Mikey hugged him. The two sat in comfortable silence, enjoying each otherโ€™s company as the quietness overtook the room.
โ€œIโ€™mโ€ฆsorry for being such a dick earlierโ€ฆโ€ Donnie murmured sadly, โ€œI wasnโ€™t being bitchy on purposeโ€ฆI was justโ€ฆโ€ He paused, trying to figure out what he was going to say before suddenly losing the train of thought. โ€œStop thinking so hard. Youโ€™re gonna hurt your big brain.โ€ Mikey pouted, poking Donnie in the cheek a couple times.
โ€œAnd donโ€™t worry about it. I didnโ€™t take it personally. You were really agitated and tired so you had to let your Alpha male come out. No shame in that.โ€
โ€œStill. I shouldnโ€™t have treated you like that. So Iโ€™m sorry.โ€ Donnie simply mumbled, before blinking in confusion a couple of times, โ€œWait. Didโ€ฆDid you just call me anโ€ฆAlpha male?โ€
โ€œI sure did.โ€ Mikey beamed proudly.
โ€œUghโ€ฆI hate you so freaking much, y'know that?โ€
โ€œSuuuure you do. Iโ€™m the Alpha, Iโ€™m the leader, Iโ€™m the one to trustโ€ฆโ€ The youngest started to sing, rocking himself and Donnie side to side as the eldest tried to get out of the hug. โ€œIhi rehefuse to get comforted by ahan individual thahat knows thahat atrohocity by heart.โ€ He snickered.
โ€œOh come on! I think Iโ€™m a pretty good singer!โ€ The purple banded turtle only rolled his eyes at the comment, scoffing lightly, โ€œMeehee and yohou hahave different definitions ohof thehehe word goodโ€ฆโ€
โ€œFine then! Iโ€™m a great singer!โ€ Mikey challenged.
โ€œLihihike hell yohou are, yohohou bihig oaf.โ€
โ€œIโ€™m shorter than you, Einstein!โ€
โ€œDoesnโ€™t mehean your nohohot bihigโ€ฆโ€ Donnie mumbled giggly but smugly.
The youngest glared, jabbing Donnie in the side, causing the russet eyed turtle to shriek loudly in surprise. Mikey giggled, poking Donnie in the sides repeatedly. โ€œThe Boo scream from Monsterโ€™s Inc goes crazy, bro.โ€
โ€œMโ€”Mihihichael!โ€
โ€œThatโ€™s my name~! Whatโ€™s up? You need something?โ€ The orange banded turtle asked teasingly, peering down at his brother who was now squirming uncontrollably.
โ€œNo? Well okay thenโ€ฆโ€ The youngest mused as he continued to wreck his brother. โ€œWโ€”Wahait! Wahait! Ihihiโ€™m gohonna wahahake eheveryone uhuhup!โ€ Donnie squealed,ย leaning against his little brotherโ€™s chest as he squirmed in the hold.
โ€œThen stop laughing then.โ€ The younger one huffed, smiling even more as Donnieโ€™s blush increased in volume and size. โ€œBuhut youโ€™re tihihickling me!โ€
โ€œI think that sounds like a you problem, dear brother of mine. Maybe you should try being less ticklish and it wouldnโ€™t happen to you!โ€
Donnieโ€™s giggles became more frantic, turning his face to hide in Mikeyโ€™s side. The younger smiled at the shy gesture, ceasing his tickling for a moment.
โ€œI promise Iโ€™ll stop when you want me to, okay?โ€ Mikey said with a soft smile on his face; which, was nice and all but at the same time why did he have to be so nice about it???
Donnie nodded embarrassed, preparing himself physically and mentally. โ€œOh! And thanks for opening this spot for me, Dee.โ€ The smaller mutant giggled as he scribbled his fingers against the crook of Donnieโ€™s neck, which made the taller turtle flail around and try to hit him. โ€œHehey! Hey! That's not very nice!โ€
He pulled one of Donnieโ€™s arms up and wiggled his fingers directly in his underarm. โ€œNAHAโ€” *hic* NOHOH!โ€ The older cackled as he desperately tried to pull his arm back down as he hid his face deeper in Mikeyโ€™s side. The blue eyed mutant awed teasingly at the sight, chuckling to himself as his big brother laughed his heart out.
โ€œNAHAT *hic* THEHERE! PLEHEASE!โ€ย 
โ€œNahat thehere?โ€ Mikey faked gasped, โ€œWhat aboutโ€ฆright here~?โ€ย He giggled, squeezing right above the other turtleโ€™s hip bone. Donnie kicked and squirmed as more hiccups followed.
โ€œAwhโ€ฆis my big brother tickwish~?๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ Mikey said as he buried his face into the crook of Donnieโ€™s neck, giggling as the olderโ€™s cackles began to increase in volume at the teases. โ€œShuhuHUT yohOURโ€™E *hic* TRAHAP!โ€ The purple banded turtle shrieked, trying to push at his baby brotherโ€™s face to try and stop him.ย ย 
โ€œYouโ€™re hiccups are adorable, big bro~!โ€ Mikey cooed, now noticing how red Donnieโ€™s face have gotten due to all the laughing and teasing. Mikey stopped tickling Donnie but his face still remained in the crook of his neck, smiling at the giggly mess he made of his older brother. Donnie glared while laughing, pushing on his baby brotherโ€™s face.
โ€œStaHAP!!! Stohopโ€ฆโ€
โ€œIโ€™m not even doing anything!โ€ The other laughed asย he hugged Donnie, rocking him back and forth again.
โ€œLihiterallty dihihieโ€ฆโ€ Donnie giggly grumbled, trying to wipe off the grin happy smile his brother plasteed on his face. โ€œYohohouโ€™re. the. absolute wohorstโ€ฆโ€ He giggled tiredly, curling in on himself as he swatted his baby brother away from him.ย 
โ€œNowโ€ฆdo you wanna go to bed or should weโ€ฆโ€ The orange banded turtle trailed off of his sentence, looking down to his elder brother whomโ€™s eyes started to droop.
โ€œPff. 'Night, Dee.โ€
โ€œMhmโ€ฆโ€
Donnie relaxed in Mikeyโ€™s hold, which made the younger oneโ€™s eyes soften greatly. He pulled out his phone, taking a picture quickly and going into the familyโ€™s group chat:
๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘บ๐Ÿ’ฅTeenagers who are Mutants who are Ninjaโ€™s who are also Turtleโ€™s๐Ÿ•๐ŸŒ๐Ÿงซ๐Ÿ‘ผ

I came into his room bc he was working on the mutagen thing
Ohโ€ฆ
Poor Don.
Heโ€™s been working on that thing for ages
Thanks for doing that, Mikey.
Iโ€™m sure he appreciates it.

My shell hurts from supporting his big ass
DAMN
Just go to bed, Mikeyโ€” b4 Leo kills the both of us
Love ya bro
See u when u and Don wake up
Love you guys too ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’˜๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’“
Mikey smiled as he turned off his phone, putting it on Donnieโ€™s nightstand as he relaxed against the bed frame. He rubbed his brotherโ€™s shell comfortingly, humming a small tune softly.
โ€œHey, Mike?โ€
โ€œHm?โ€
โ€œThank you for this. Iโ€ฆdidnโ€™t know how much I needed itโ€ฆthank you. I love you.โ€
Mikey smiled brightly, squeezing Donnie a tad bit tigther, โ€œLove you too, Don. Now go to sleep before you become more wrinkly than you already are.โ€
โ€œOh, fuck youโ€ฆโ€ Donnie chuckled, drifting off to sleep along with his little brother.
Things werenโ€™t perfect. I mean, they never will be. They never would be.
But being apart of a team means your never alone.
And being apart of a family means youโ€™re never alone.
And as long as Donnie had hisโ€ฆheโ€™d be quite alright.
He can finish the mutagen laterโ€ฆas of right now, he needed to go the fuck. to. bed.
And thanks to Mikey, he can finally do that.

i've figured out the hack to writing is to write badly so that you can eventually write good when you go back to edit. unfortunately that means that i'm going to have to go back and edit. sisyphus rolling that damn boulder up the hill emoji.

Athena: oh, one last thing. I promised Ares that you will kill every visitor in your castle
Odysseus: oook? Why though?

Bruce: Okay, Damian. You need to promise to be good for the Doctor, theyโ€™re not an enemy in disguise trying to administer poison. Weโ€™ve known her for years.
Damian: The clinic is by crime alley! She most certainly owns several firearms that she could use as soon as Iโ€™m incapacitated!
Jason, raising his pistol: Firearms?
Bruce: No, Jason, no guns. Weโ€™ve spoken about this.
Damian: Anyone could be a part of a test from my grandfather! We need to be prepared!
Bruce: Itโ€™s just a vaccine shot!
Jason, very slowly raising his pistol: ..Shot?

if anyone needs help identifying things that can become moral scrupulosity OCD obsessions/compulsions, heres a list of some i've experienced:
rereading your posts/texts over and over
checking your notes and/or followers list frequently to "make sure" bad actors aren't interacting with you
checking OP's blog before interacting with posts
compulsively opening a social media tab to look at your notifs and then closing it, over and over
fearing ways that things you say/do (or don't do) could be taken in bad faith. being anxious that your words/actions will be misconstrued as morally wrong, bigoted, rude, or aggressive
feeling guilty or obsessing over whether you should or shouldn't have reblogged a post
feeling like you aren't "allowed" to disengage from online discourse or unfollow people who post it
fearing you're being stalked, talked about, or called out behind your back. fearing you'll never be forgiven and that people might even celebrate your disappearance or death, even though you havent done anything wrong
searching your own name/username to see if anyone is actually talking about you
imagining defenses you would make against nonexistent heinous accusations or arguments against you, to prove that you didnt do it
feeling like you have to roll over and become a doormat when others are cruel to you, because it could cause strife if you do anything other than grovel or apologize
having trouble enforcing your own boundaries out of fear that they are somehow "wrong" or unethical
ending up surrounded by people who have all the "right opinions" but are super mean and unpleasant, and make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells
fearing that just HAVING moral ocd makes you a bad person somehow (for example, i often fear that having moral ocd is somehow pushing a 'stranger danger' or misanthropist agenda, even though i actually have a lot of faith in my fellow humans)
some of these bullet points are not inherently bad on their own, but if you find yourself having this kind of anxiety very often, that's not normal, and it's time to get offline or even seek professional help if it's impacting your life
this list is catered to how online culture influences moral scrupulosity, it is not indicative of how everybody's moral scrupulosity functions, and it is not exhaustive
