Turtles

Happy RokuNami Day!
"Roxas, you should really keep a lamp over this tank," I said, standing over Roxas's pet turtle's tank. The turtle, whose said name is Demyx, was poorly groping around, looking for some warmth. Feeling sad for the poor thing, I unplugged one of Roxas's bed side lamps and put it over the tank.
"Namine, what are you doing? I need that lamp to work," He complained, rubbing his hair with a towel. He had just gotten out of the shower and was just wearing a pair of basketball shorts. I would normally oogle at his wonderful body if it wasn't for Demyx's current situation.
I sighed, motioning to the poor turtle. "Roxas, he needs the light to keep him warm. He's going to die like that, considering it's always freezing in here."
Roxas snorted at me. I stared at him, wide-eyed. Did he just snort at me? Did he just insinuate that he did not care for poor, little Demyx's life? What a cold-hearted man that I'm dating. I wanted to punch him in the gut.
Sadly, I took a more civil approach.
"What the hell was that for?" I asked him, adjusting the lamp so it was directly over the turtle.
"Nam, Demyx is a mammal. He can keep himself warm in the cold, just like us."
I stared at him.
Was he serious?
Did he need a good lesson on what a mammal even was?
"Roxas, turtles are reptiles. And they are cold-blooded." I told him, deadpanning. I mean, what else can you say to that?
"I know he's cold-blooded," Roxas said, falling onto his bed on his back. "Which is why they have shells."
"Uh, what?" I asked him. I needed further clarification. My mind didn't run on this kind of stupidity.
"When he goes into his shell, he gets warm, obviously."
I know Roxas isn't going to college right now, but high school was only two years ago. We took classes together where we talked about this kind of stuff! What in the world was he talking about?
"Demyx cannot regulate his own body temperature by going into his shell, moron." I told him, glancing at the turtle who seemed extremely thankful that I warmed him up.
"You don't know what you're talking about. You sound pretty stupid right now, but that's okay. I love you anyway." He told me with a smile.
"I—I can't even respond to that." I told him, stuttering. I just told him that his turtle was cold-blooded and a reptile and he still thinks I'm the stupid one.
What.
"Like I said, it's okay! Not everyone can know everything!"
I grumbled, furrowing my eyebrows together. "Just get ready for the damn anniversary dinner, idiot."
Hey! Just a little drabble for RokuNami day! The plot was taken from a post on
I know a lot of you are looking for a Late Night Records update. But I literally do not know what to do. It's been half-written for a while, but I don't like what I'm doing with it right now. So it might be a while. I'm sorry!
Also, if you all would show me some support , I started a Youtube channel! If you search for: Neena Jenkins, I should come up! Or user/HyperBananna
Please and Thank you!
