a/n: i sure as heck can write something short for this lovely grump of a snake.
Jack laid there enjoying feeling your hands rubbing his shoulders and running through his hair. Pleased to have you so close, your scent surrounding him helping him to feel relaxed and more at peace with his current situation of sheading.
Jack couldn’t see you while shedding, but he could feel and smell you everywhere. Entwining his fingers with yours he always felt good whenever you were close to him and he could hold your hand.
It’s only when the natural shedding process was reaching its end did you help him pull off what skin was still stuck from the shed picking and pulling gently at his scales and skin that was stuck and stubbornly refused to come off on its own.
The oils and gentle touches made him hum in response, especially when you were complimenting him and how when he blinked this time he could see you smiling at him.
