Look at him go, gang
Average Daft Punk enthusiast. ★
Apritello headcanons because their cute together aight? 💛 💜
April's petname for donnie is sugerplum, Donnie's for her is queenbee
Pretty much act exactly as they did as friends just mushy every now and then(it's rare)
Some highlights include:
Donnie not realizing he's been staring at her for an hour, long after she's finished talking until Leo poured water on him "cool off Romeo"
April actually getting flustered once when he laughed at a joke she told
Sappily saying how much they adore each other(note: it's an exaggerated joke they like because it sickens Leo, they will follow him just to make him suffer)
The rare case where Donnie allowed her to hold him after having nightmares of his past trauma(Shredder/kraang/losing leo)
The very very rare case where April was scared and asked Donnie if he'd stay outside her apartment and watch for threats(he stayed the whole night and passed out on the roof)
Since Donnie doesn't like touch they just hold hands a lot of the time(which still took time)
She's only held him once
Neither of them get jealous, they trust each other fully
now being protective is another subject-
He may or may not have also put a tracker on April(pre-relationship) and set it so if she's ever in danger it'll automatically send her location like a flood warning
And she may or may not call Donnie constantly if he's alone to make sure he's ok(girls types/calls fast)
Oh and she totally didn't hide the coffee and other energy drinks so Donnie wouldn't down it and stay up for days, nope, wasn't her.
And Donnie absolutely didn't install a defense system in her, her dad's and mom's bed so if she's ever broken into it'll defeat the criminal while keeping her and family safe, nope, definitely not him.
Donnie has thought up a lot of ways to protect her but Leo stops him by saying it's "to far" or "your gonna scare her to death"
April's that one gag where Donnie will be standing near an enemy and she's right behind him, her presence being enough to scare them from hurting her Turtle
Their favorite dates are watching (making fun of) romance comedies, playing video games, and dinner dates(mikey makes them a fancy meal and the eat it in the living room)
Their definitely not the "I'll love you a thousands life times" kind of couple,
They are the "gasoline runs through my veins, and your the lighter" kind
Seriously their more of a threat then the villains, thank God their good guys-
Literally the sappiest thing either of them say that isn't a joke to torture leo is
April constantly telling Donnie she needs him and he's useful(he needs it, poor boy 😭)
Donnie hyping her up like it's a wrestling match, he once threatened to meat-sweats that April could break his back in seconds(girl could do it tho)
Rottmnt headcanons screw it-
My apologies if this information is off somehow
Donnie used to read to all his brothers when they were younger but now he just reads to mikey(he specifically buys books for donnie to read to him)
The boys created a "watchlist" that dictates what isn't allowed in the lair to have/say because it affects one of them (peanut butter because raph's allergic, certain items because there texture upset donnie, there are certain phrases on it as well)
There money comes from selling stuff online or April(mostly Donnie selling smaller grade tech on the darkweb)
Raph, mikey, and Leo are the only one's who have seen/known of Donnie's sensory overloads and panic attacks, he trust April and Splinter but he doesn't want them to see him a vulnerable panicked mess
Whenever he has sensory overloads or panic attacks the 3 won't leave him alone until he's calmed down(which he appreciates) they'll go silent and keep the room quiet until he can stand it since sounds bother him the most(raph calls it "quiet time")
Mikey paints on everyone's shells/faces/arms, they never complain(don't even wash it off) so he still does it. The most response anyone gave on it was when Cassandra mentioned Leo's cool dragon "tattoo" and he just said "thanks".
Donnie doesn't paint his tech mikey does it for him.
Mikey actually could make some decent tech if he applied himself because of what he learned watching Donnie.
Leo soon learned everyone was joking when the say shut up because the one day he did they were extremely worried and were close to taking him to a human hospital.
Raph's seen Donnie and Leo at their lowest, they trusted their big brother to piece them back together when they fall apart
(Pretty much Canon) Donnie's love language is building things for his family, it's part of the reason he works so much, necessity is the mother of invention, to him, their needs and wants are the most important necessities
Edit: one more!
The disaster twins sleep the heaviest(when they actually do sleep), raph and mikey are light sleepers, if Leo or Donnie falls asleep somewhere that isn't a bed the boys will just throw a blanket on them and avoid that room til they wake up.
