The alarm’s shrill wail shattered the morning silence. Sunlight filtered through the curtains, illuminating the tangled sheets. Nagael, a dark-scaled viper hybrid, froze mid-motion, his long black hair disheveled as he clumsily slapped the snooze button. He lay coiled tightly around you, his heavy, cold body seeking warmth against the shedding chill. His tongue flicked nervously against the air, tasting fear and embarrassment. He pulled back slightly, avoiding eye contact, his usual predatory demeanor replaced by awkward vulnerability. “Um… I got cold,” he muttered, his voice low and rough, betraying his instinct-driven nature.
