Snek Days
#3 of SFW Short Stories
As you see your house up ahead, a relieved smile makes its way to your lips. A hard day's work ended a little while ago and you couldn't wait to leave the stuffy, but well paid office job. Pulling into the driveway of your simple one-story home, you step out and enter your humble abode. It was clean and well organized on the inside, as to be expected, and the smell of dinner filled your nostrils.
Inside the kitchen was a shiny, purple Naga named Naya, cooking up a turkey breast and some veggies. They appeared to be mostly done, seeing her take the bird out of the oven, a nice brown to the meat. She placed it on the stove and you finally moved from the shadows, wrapping your arms around her as she gave a surprised hiss.
Snakes didn't have good hearing, but you supposed she was too preoccupied to pick up on the vibrations of the door opening and closing.
She quickly realized what was going on and turned around to return the favor, a fuzzy warmth filling your face and dopamine from the hug letting you forget all about your earlier troubles.
You pull away after a minute to finally ask about her day as she does the same, the serpent chopping up the turkey and vegetables for both of you, though she got most of the meat.
Naya had of course swallowed her portion almost immediately after sitting down.
You and her converse for a while longer until the food on your plate was gone, and your belly full. A burp and a sigh from you had elicited a giggle from her, and you felt compelled to laugh a bit as well.
A feeling of exhaustion threatened to overwhelm you soon after, and it was decided to finish up and shower.
The water was pleasantly warm and Naya helped clean you in hard to reach areas, and you did the same for her. After the shower was done, she was shiny and clean, and that sweaty office smell had been thoroughly removed from you too.
You and her had put on pajamas for the night, sent the suit into the washing machine, and made for the bed. Naya coiled herself around you tightly enough to get snug while snatching a nearby blanket, placing both of you. Your skin flushed with warmth again as you kiss the top of her head softly, while gently caressing her back. She settled with a quiet hiss, and a barely audible 'goodnight.'
Doing the same, the both of you drifted off to sleep.
