#rottmnt platonic shelldon x reader

[niphredil-14]

I am going to drop an idea

So, Donnie x reader (Mr. Bootyyyshaker9000 has me on chokehold-) ft. Shelldon. So without Donnie knowing, fellow reader here has been taking care of Shelldon during his rebellious phase. Oh Donnie said no to racing? Well Shelldon would fly to wherever reader is and do it with them. When Shelldon's got scolded, he'd say something like "[reader] would let me do this!" here and there.

The bros said they're like a divorced couple and Shelldon is their son. Shelldon plays along with it, Donnie and reader? They said no but their faces said otherwise.

This is such a cute idea, I'm obsessed!! I did not mean for this to get nearly as long as it did, but I got into it, and I hope you enjoy!

First and foremost, I think that on the rare occasion that you aren't actively going against what he says, he would really appreciate your help with Shelldon, raising an AI son is far from an easy task, especially when you are also responsible for frequently saving the world, and all that comes with it. I think that just knowing that there was another person around for Shelldon, aside from him and his brothers, would be a huge comfort to Don, one that in the grand scheme of things, is rarely overlooked.

Though his annoyance will, at times, make him temporarily forget what a godsend you are. If he forbids Shelldon from doing something, it is because that was the most logical thing to do, the keyword being logical, which may not necessarily mean the best. In any situation that is new or scary, Donnie relies almost completely on his logic, not his emotions, and considering the fact that parenting, no matter how long you've been doing it, is always a new and scary situation, means that Don often approaches it from a completely logical standpoint, often overlooking emotions, and lacking sympathy. He has lived through all that Shelldon has, and yet often forgets what it's like to be in Shelldon's place. Don tries to not be like his father, but in doing so, he overcompensates, and instead of being borderline-negligent, he is overbearing and overprotective. So although he doesn't always agree with your methods, to have someone to balance him out is definitely for the best for dear Shelly.

When he finds you and Shelldon doing what he specifically forbid Shelldon from doing, he will be pretty upset. He trusted you to be a responsible figure in Shelldon's life, and yet to him, it seems like you, in those moments, do nothing but enable him. He will most likely do his best to shut down whatever it is that he had originally told Shelldon not to do, which of course, only serves to piss you and Shelldon off. If this were to escalate to a full argument, Shelldon would probably either go to one of his uncles for a little while or hide away at his charging station until the two of you were done.

After some talks with Dr. Feelings, and realizing how he was wrong, I think that as hard as it would be for him, he would go to apologize to not only Shelldon, but to you as well. I think that he would get the three of you together, and would explain his though process, and apologize for being overbearing. He would want the three of you to come up with both general and specific goals for what Shelldon wants both short-term and long-term, as well as what you and Don want, and want to improve at short-term and long-term. He would want to talk about meeting somewhere in the middle, and being able to keep each other accountable. He knows that sometimes he can be too strict, but he also feels that sometimes you can be too lax, and would want a compromise. Would want to go over communication, and come up with code words for when he, or you, were overstepping. He would also include Shelldon in this, wanting to know whenever Shelldon felt genuinely hurt, and not just indignant about a rule made for his safety. Donnie knows that the two of you are not perfect, and that the two of you will continue to make mistakes, but he wants to do his best to do right by his son.

Whether or not you and Don started out platonically, Shelldon claiming you as another parent would bring you and Don much closer. It would ultimately be up to you whether or not you wanted to redefine yours and Don's relationship as romantic, but regardless of whether you do or don't I don't think Don would be able to be with anyone else. The three of you were like a little family, and that was enough for him, regardless of what label you had decided to assign to it. He would be happy just being friends that co-parented, but he would also be happy as a couple raising Shelldon, though he will ultimately leave it up to you to bring up, as he would be very afraid to lose you, and wouldn't want to rock the boat, as he was just happy to have you in his life.

a sense of solace (rise! Donnie x reader)

Anon: hey! I saw that you do requests and was wondering if you’d write something with rottmnt Donnie and a platonic reader? maybe something where one of hyphen has just had a bad day and they seek out the other in need of cuddles or a shoulder to cry on, thank you!!!

A/N: I always love writing for don (^◇^；) sorry this came so late anon and i do hope you get to see it! 

P.S wrote this a while ago and I'm so sorry for my absence! I finished out my spring semester recently and I was all around busy. I'll have some more time now to work more on my art and writing though!

Also, I'm not sure who sent in this request and I'm having a hard time finding it in my inbox T口T I hope whoever did is able to read this sometime! And I hope you all enjoy it too of course.

I'm gonna do some draft digging and revise/post anything that's nearly done! So expect to see those soon (´꒳`) and I'll try to start working on more requests once I'm done!

                                                        --- 

It wasn't the best day for you.

You had an argument with someone close and it left you in emotional shambles with a stubborn soreness deep in your chest. The number of places you could think to go to in this state was countable on just a couple fingers and there was only ever one out of them that you wanted to find yourself at.

So, you got to the lair in record time. You greeted Splinter as you passed through the main section of hideout and didn't yet see any sign of the turtles.

You weaved your way through the repurposed subway tunnel, noting how everyone must be off doing their own thing somewhere, until you found Donnie's room where he seemed to be intently fiddling with Shelldon at his work table.

You announced your arrival with a, "Hey."

To which he responded by echoing the greeting while still intently poking at hardware with his tools.

"So, what brings you in?" he asked without missing a beat as you came to stand behind him, watching him work over his shoulder.

"Well, honestly," you decided to bite the bullet and just be frank with him, "I need to take my mind off some stuff." you said with a sigh in your voice.

Donatello paused, placed down his work utensils, and turned his swivel chair so he could look at you- his goggles still fitted over his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

You pawed at the bend of one of your elbow, feeling a dull ache behind your eyes that you’d been fighting for the better part of the day. 

You were still nervous to go into detail, but that's what you were here for and you couldn't just chicken out now. This was one of your best friends and worst case scenario was he wouldn't be able to make you feel better.

Which you doubted would happen.

"I ah, it's just been a rough day." you spoke quietly as you looked down at your shoes.

Donnie gave a hum before getting up and flicking up his goggles so they perched like they typically did on his head. He was clad in only a lavender t shirt today that fit largely on his lean body type. It seemed he'd forgone his tech shell too for a more comfy, home body look today.

"Only one way to solve that." He declared as he purposefully strode over to the busy, gargantuan monitor that he often used to game and pulled up Netflix.

He then turned to you with a slight smile, "Movie night?" he offered.

You nodded. Watching something with him always brightened your mood.

You kicked off your shoes by the door and plopped yourself down on the cushy, extra large bean bag Donnie bought online the other day. It was big enough to easily fit you and two of the turtles. Not to mention it was heaven to just sit back and sink into.

Donatello joined you after grabbing a bag of Japanese brand chips from his stash and putting on some B rated horror movie for the two of you to have a go at more than anything.

As the starting credits kicked on, you found yourself unfortunately thinking of what happened earlier and subconsciously drifting closer to Donnie. Your mind didn't stay in its bubble for long as your friend popped it.

"The movie just started. It isn't already that bad, is it?" his voice had that usual near deadpan to it and you snickered softly.

“No, just- kind of hard to focus.” you leaned against his side.

Donnie munched at the chips and you thought for a moment maybe he didn’t hear you until he nudged you a bit.

“Whoever it was,” you had the feeling he suspected who it was seeing as you let the turtles know a lot about yourself.

“doesn’t deserve to be on your mind if they caused trouble for you.”

You couldn’t deny he had a good point.

“Besides,” he looked at you from the corner of his eye with a small smile, “it seems like you came here to get your mind off things; not to sulk.”

That tugged at the corners of your lips and you nudged him back.

“Yeah.” 

Even though you didn’t entirely feel better yet, the moment Donnie wrapped an arm around your shoulders to give you a side hug, you were definitely more at ease. 

“It’s their loss and just means there’s more of you for us.”

You laughed and punched Donnie in the arm. He grinned, taking the limb back and still happily crunching at his shrimp flavored snack.

"Stingy are we?" you reached over and stole some of the chips.

Donnie just shrugged and reclined further into his seat, looking like the picturesque image of a couch potato.

“We just value you." He scratched the back of his neck and clicked his jaw, "We always will.” he partly mumbled the last bit.

You felt touched by the sentiment. You had spent a lot of time with the turtles since you first met and you didn't know what things would have turned out like for you if you hadn't. Something you knew April felt the same about. Your mutant friends just had that way about them that changed your life like no one else could.

Your smile turned into something more genuine and less cheeky as you leaned back with Donnie.

“Same here.” and there was no way you could simply express what you felt in words. Which Donatello seemed to perfectly understand as his brows relaxed and he brushed the side of his head against yours.

The space behind your eyes ached for a different reason now.

You really did love these turtle knuckleheads.
