A/N: Happy Valentines day everyone!<3 Hope you all are having a wonderful Valentines day with your significant other or with your computer like me! Anyways here is one of my new favorite ships Kinkajou x Turtle. This one shot takes place in the dungeon where Turtle is being held captive by Darkstalker at about 1:00 am.
Turtle had had trouble sleeping before, like the first night at Jade Mountain. This though, this was different. His thoughts and worries had now kept him awake, and the fact the some nights Kinkajou would sneak down to see him. Every time she came down to see him he told her that she shouldn't take the chance of getting caught just to see him, but that never stopped her before and it certainly didn't stop her now. Even though he told her to stop taking the chance to come he was secretly relieved and happy every time he heard a clatter of light talons coming from the stairway.
Turtle was laying down eyeing the stairway hoping to see her tonight, like he did every night. He was getting used to being awake at night and sleeping in the day. Darkstalker would joke how he found it ironic how Turtle was on a Nightwing sleeping schedule and he was trying to do the opposite; Turtle never found it funny.
Turtle picked up his head at the immediate sound of clattering talons on the stairs leading to the floor of his cell. And there was Kinkajou, light pink scales with hints of gold. Turtle couldn't help but smile and she smiled back.
"Okay I know, I know, Kinkajou you shouldn't be down here, and, Kinkajou do you know what Darkstalker would do if he caught you down here, because I don't want to hear it." Kinkajou told Turtle as she lay down across from him and as cold to the cell as she can possibly get.
Turtle looked at her and shrugged, "I mean I guess telling you to stop doing something never worked anyways so I guess you win... this time." Turtle looked up to see a puzzled look on Kinkajou's face.
"Wait you mean your not going to give me a lecture on the importance of staying out of Darkstalker's way and still pretend like I have know clue whats going on?" Kinkajou asked as a smile formed across her face.
"Ya but don't get used to it." Turtle told her with a smile as she giggled and turned a brighter pink. Weird, it's like every time Kinkajou comes to see Turtle she just keeps getting pinker and pinker.
"Hey you know what day it is today?" Kinkajou asked excitedly in the middle of her own sentence.
"Nope. I gave up about 2 weeks ago on keeping tack of the days." Turtle said jokingly even though he was serious.
"Well, today's Valentines day! It was always one of my favorite holidays because it gave me an excuse to be the brightest pink that I can possibly be without dragons giving me weird looks." Kinkajou explained in a very enthusiastic voice, which Turtle loved.
"Really? Already? Aw, I wish I had something to give you but the only thing I can probably get from in here is a bunch of rocks." Turtle said disappointed that he couldn't do anything special for a dragon that he admired so greatly.
"It's fine, I couldn't get anything for you ether. Well, I was going to bring you a flower but if Darkstalker saw a random flower in your cell he might get suspicious or just be really confused and started to question life." Kinkajou explained and made Turtle laugh. "Anyways, your presence is all I need for Valentines day." Kinkajou smiled at Turtle and turtle smiled back.
"And being in the presence of you is all I need." Turtle said looking into Kinkajou's eyes.
They talked for hours more and only stopped when they realized that out the window they can see pink and orange clouds covering a dark blue sky. They said there goodbyes and Kinkajou headed back up the stair case to her room, unable to stop smiling from the things that her and Turtle laughed about for hours while Turtle lay back down smiling and gazing out the window watching the sun rise. Before he fell asleep he mumbled "Best Valentines day ever" and drifted off to sleep.
