I don't see Casey and Don being best friends, but they have gotten along in other incarnations. I know that Casey and Raph have always been best friends in other series, but Casey still liked the other Turtles as well. My last response was based on the whole bros thing.

April's feelings for Don are different than Don's feelings for April. Don has fallen head over heels. Everyone can see that. However, April has not returned those same feelings. She cares for Don...as a friend. That is her affection toward him as well as the other Turtles. So, yes, she has two different affections toward both Casey and Don, but she definitely seems interested in something more with Casey, not Don.

This is what happens with a crush, or unrequited love (as it is also known). Someone really, really, likes another person and thinks they are in love with them. The object of their crush more often than not does not return those feelings ending up in the first person being brokenhearted, or crushed, if you will.
