[Today might not be the day for Akashi to shed his skin, to reach his true state of technicolor apotheosis. But in its place, he seemed to have attained both venom and constrictor properties, so if nothing else, he was a very impressive snake.
Henry is impressed by Akashi's grip, anyway, as well as that spot-on hissing. He wouldn't have even minded getting eaten- not out of any particular interests in that regard, but purely just to see how Akashi would manage it. In small pieces, over a period of time, sure, but that wasn't the snake way; even if Akashi could unhinge his jaw, it'd be hard to make up that height difference.
But a lot more pressing was the way Akashi was pressing on him, making it clear he was being insufficient in his duties as a living heating rock. The sound Henry makes at the rubbing is distinctly bird-like, a hoarse warble; already sensitive, the rubbing felt too good to be considered pleasant. He still wasn't about to ask Akashi to slow down or wait, twitching roughly underneath him instead. Arms wrapping around him in turn, tightening- Henry's claws began digging into Akashi's back, leaving red lines that turn into split skin when he shudders.
It was a little like a sexualized bird-versus-snake fight.]
