Summary
“You alright?”
Mikey’s looking at him. His eyes are searching, scanning him up and down, like a watchdog. Donnie’s in the middle of getting to his feet to work, and he can’t possibly open up to him. It’s stupid. Irrational. Deplorable.
Donnie offers back a pathetic grin. “I’m fine.” The words are quick, seamless. Mikey smiles something bright at him, the answer giving no one anything to think about, nothing to consider. Mikey is busy, busy like Donnie is, and he can’t bring himself to throw another thing onto the youngest brother.
He feels his shell pounding. Flesh ticking like clockwork. There’s no pain, not yet, just brass bright growing stains in his flawless techwear. No one notices.
Good. He’s got a lot of work to do.

Or, in which Donnie is a worker first and a person second.
(Or, in which Donnie convinces himself he is nothing more than a robot. He’ll work through the pain, work through the slashes on his shell, work through the migraines. His brothers, however, won’t stand for that…
…If they catch onto it, that is.)

Summary
Even a year after the incident, Donnie can't help but feel those awful pains from his missing arm. Yet, he still tells no one. At least, not until he's forced to come clean.
