Donnie, when has anyone in our family not immediately jumped in to help each other? The teenagers aren't exactly big fans of us, yeah, but, it's a Hamato thing to jump in to help each other.
That and, I know you, you wouldn't want help. You literally chafed at me asking about the topic. Not to mention you know, the fact you initially kept it secret from all of us.
Let people help you! [He wants to physically shake Donnie. Leonardo forces himself up off the couch to pace the length of their living room.] If there is a chance, we can at least try to do something, even if it's preemptive!
There's nothing to preempt, Leo! [No one would blame Leo if he did shake Donnie. And he is going to get up as well, but he isn't going to get into Leo's way. Instead he's going to head to his room.]
Whatever, it's not happening, there's no reason for it and I told Casey to stop it.
Those false positives aren't something you can ignore forever, Donnie! [He snaps at his twin, stomping towards Donnie as the other turtle tries to end the argument.]
Would you for once in your life let us help you!? This won't kill any of the damn kids, it won't kill you! It's worth trying! We have the resources and ability to do things now!
How is not our concern!? [He sounds exasperated and incredulous as he snaps back at his twin.]
You are family, you idiot!
Are we supposed to just... sit here, do nothing? Hope for the best!? When have you ever in your life just twiddled your thumbs when there was a problem!?
[He hates this, it feels like if he did let them do this he'd lose control of his life. That it'd... It'd be like every time he couldn't save people, at least he has some control with this.
Of course getting him to actually say that? Hahaha.]
I know it's your health! We don't want you to die! [He throws back at his twin. At this point the conversation isn't particularly civil.]
Donnie, I'm not asking to take over your damn health; I'm asking you to at least give this a try since it was your idea originally and we have the damn resources! We can do something, you can do something besides just do tests and hope for the best!
If I was sick, or getting sicker, you and Casey would be the first to know after myself. But for now there is nothing aside from some off tests, which can happen with any infections.
[His voice cracks, the anger breaking apart into an old grief he thought he had eased. No. It was always there.] You're my only brother left. You're one of the few people I have.
[Donnie just turning to leave is a slap in the face. Leonardo just stares after him for a moment.
Please let us help you
Please just tell us things
please
please
don't leave again.
Leonardo just turns to leave, unaware he's shaking until he tries to pick up his relic and drops it. A choked sound escapes him, frustrated as tears spill over.] Fuck-
[He's forced to crouch down and get it, but ends up just heavily sitting on the floor. He's maybe crying in the living room. The adrenaline rush of his anger has dropped off into shaky crying.]

no subject
Because I don't want or need their help.
[So just going to be petulant about the whole thing.]

[Snaps.]
And I'd eventually know either way anyways.
no subject
You'd really rather just die again, Donnie?
no subject
Does he mean the not telling Leo, or the dying?
... yes.]
no subject
Are you that set on handling this by yourself? That you'll keep it buried and hope things work out?
no subject
I'm not sick, so there's nothing to "bury" or that needs to be handled!

[As he turns to face Leo, since it would just be weird to shout and not be facing his twin.]
There's nothing to do, there's nothing to help.

[He stops and just... Inhales sharply.]
... I'm done, it's not happening. There's no reason for it to happen, and Casey shouldn't have involved any of the kids in this anyway.
I don't have mad enough icons for this thread
Are you just... fine like this? Not knowing? When the hell have you ever chosen ignorance over learning something?
no subject
