Sephiroth had been acting strange lately.
Well, he wasn't exclusive to this kind of behavior, given he was a naga. You still figured that you had much to learn about him, even though it had been about a year since that fateful meeting. But, he had been even more reclusive lately. He was usually gone for many hours a day hunting or attending to business you didn't know of. Now, he only came back late at night when you were about to go to sleep. It was odd, he had been warming up to you, and now, he was all quiet. You had to find out what was up.
He always left at dawn, or a little earlier. So, you resolved to wake up as early as he did to solve this problem. Assuming you were asleep, he slithered out bed and made his way towards the entrance. Taking this as your chance, you scrambled after him and latched onto his arm, "Seph, please wait."
"Yes?" He sighed in agitation.
"I hate to say this, but, you've been acting weird. Can you tell me what's wrong?" You pleaded softly, rubbing his muscular stature soothingly.
"You worry too much." He snorted, easing your arm off of his.
"I wouldn't have to worry if you'd just tell me." The pleading whimper you elicited must have been his undoing, as he sighed, inhaled deeply, and murmured.
"Do you really want to know?"
You nodded eagerly, finally going to get some relief after an agonizing wait, "It's been about twelve moons since you've arrived here and we met, correct?"
You nodded.
"____, it was the end of winter here when you came. And, in season, it's the beginning of winter again." There was almost a hint of humor to his voice, though it seemed on edge, "And winter...winter is my mating season."
"Your, mating season?" You chirped timidly, caught off guard by his response.
"Don't be surprised, if I could get rid of this goddammed biological clock, I would. I've been spending more time alone simply because it isn't pleasant time for me. Every last instinct and nerve is telling me to breed and it's a pain in the ass." He groaned, the use of curses was uncommon for him. That, and he was a little rude, but, you assumed it was because of his current state.
"Does it bother you that badly?"
"I can tolerate it. It is just hitting a particular spike, currently." He responded, "Sorry if it makes me a little moody. I didn't mean to make you upset."
"It's alright. I can be moody too." You sympathized, curling an arm around his and nuzzling him. You had to stand on the tips of your toes just to barely reach his shoulder. He smiled down at you.
"I know that all too well. Once every month."
"Sephiroth!"

"Who's a good naga?" You teased, scratching you fingernails behind his ear.
"______!" He playfully growled, leaning into your touch like a happy dog. All this time spent with him allowed you to find all of his weak spots, and the best one was the one behind his ear. You played with his pointed, almost elvish ears many times. But, when your fingers brushed behind them, and you saw his reaction, you knew that you had struck gold.
The naga had teased you about your human imperfections many times, but now, you had something that you could hold over his head. You were not exactly sure what kind of spot the spot was. Whether he was just ticklish or it was some nerve endings didn't exactly mattter. You loved milking him for reactions to your touches. His serpentine tail would always wag when you stroked his spot, his eyes would lid and close, and that signature purr would erupt from his chest. Aside from some little yelps or snarls when you were too rough, he seemed to like getting his ears scratched.
You giggled happily as you continued to toy with him playfully. He started to complain that he was getting a little sore and tired from your teasing, but you still played with him, drawing out the fun a little longer.
Poke.
