#when donnie can actually speak its just an endless mantra of apologies. just ''im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry'' over and over and over

Thinking about cc!Donnie getting sick and hiding it from his brothers till he like collapses and the freak out from the others that would follow

honestly post-epilogue i might write a oneshot with a premise like this just because i think there's a painful combination i could play with considering his chest iss ffffucked and if he caught something he could actually be super immunocompromised ,, like he NEEDS to be open about things like this for a ton of reasons but he just wont be out of fear of burdening them. after a while it becomes less about facing their wrath (although if he's seriously out of his mind, he'll forget where he is so it does resurface) and more about seeing the grief and panic enter their eyes when he's hurt or upset

he'll always beat himself up when he cant hide it anymore, because they are so much more hurt when they learn he's been intentionally keeping it from them, but it never seems to stop the problem. it just makes donnie more upset in the moment.
