Daily Life of a Danger Noodle

Gory Shedding (DRLAMP)

For HarmoniousCrystal
**Janus's POV**

Due to the weather changes, my scales felt like they were ripping off as I tried to get rid of the dead skin. Clothes started to rip into my scales so I was just wearing boxers.

It was late at night as I tried to get rid of as much of the problem as possible. I had my hat in my mouth to muffle my cries.. I felt a crack right before the burning warm pain.

I ripped into regular skin as I took off the scaled skin. My eyes were burning as I continued getting rid of the pain. I was accidentally ripping out healthy scales as I worked. After a while, the pain got to the point where my vision turned dark.

I woke up to a sticky mess and realized I was laying in a puddle of my own blood. My throat felt like it was paper, so I slowly got up feeling more cracks as I started bleeding again.

I did not care about the bloody drops, as I walked to the kitchen. They would blame Remus and he would think that he really did the mess. The whole house was dark as I got to the kitchen. I filled a glass in the sink, with water, and slowly raised it to my face.

Big mistake, lifting up my arm caused an chain reaction of the scabs and scales breaking. I dropped the glass, on my foot, as I screamed in pain. Then I started panicking over the glass mess and attempted to clean up, which cause glass to get imbued in my hands.

"Janus?" I heard the whisper right before the light turned on, "Oh my poor scaly baby!"

Only one would call me that, innocent Patton.

"Don't look, I'm a monster."

"You are not a monster, you are just in pain. If you keep talking bad about yourself, I will physically fight you," he leaned down next to me and took my hands, "Logan! Wake up the others and get the first aid kit!"

I heard shouting from upstairs as Patton slowly moved me to a chair.

"Baby, you could have told us that you were in pain."

"I was just shedding and I did not realize it got this bad," I was crying as I spoke.

"Your human side of skin dried out so it started to crack," I heard Logan's soft whisper in my ear, "due to the dry skin, it looks like some of your scales got infected."

"I got the medical lotion to help with one half of the skin," Roman said as he sat down next to my human knee.

"I have a wet washcloth to help clean the scales," Remus was sitting by my scaled knee, "I have watched enough scaly porn to know how to take care of all your snake bits."

"Remus, we don't need to be reminded of your porn habits right now. This is Janus time," Virgil said as he opened up the first aid kit, "not fetish time."

Logan and Patton started working on the glass pieces as Virgil started kissing the uninjured parts of my face. I was whimpering as they worked but I started to feel cooling relief for the first time in days. Remus kissed the patches of undamaged scales as he worked. Roman massaged the areas after he put the lotion on.

After they were finished, Roman carefully picked me up and took me to Patton's room. Patton quickly cleared off all his stuffed animals to make room for everyone. As I healed, they would switch up who worked on which injury. They refused to let me leave the bed until I got back my half yellow glow and the stitches healed.

I could not stop crying because how much they had for me, a lying evil snake. Every time I said that out loud, I got a soft punch in the healed shoulder by Patton.

On a separate note, writing this make me very itchy.
