OTP Prompt #1: Copperhead is scared of the thunder and Reader tries to calm them down during a hefty storm.

Copperhead x Reader: The Peace During the Storm... + A Bonus Headcanon at the very end...
It was raining heavily outside, and the weather report stated that there'll be more than just rain within a 10-hour radius,
(which at first doesn't really make sense but hey, I'm an author; not a weather reporter/meteorologist)
So as (Y/N) drink their mug, or cup, of their afternoon drink; (Y/N) heard something at their window other than the pattering of the rain.
(Y/N) turn their head, sets down their drink, stood up from their chair at the table, and walks over to the window,
Knowing they might let in some rain; they open the window and, in a flash, comes the snake man, Copperhead, all soaking wet and shivering with fear,
"Copper! Surprised you even managed to get back here despite the storm!" (Y/N) shouted with surprise, shutting the window in the process, "S-Sssooo c-cold..." he shivers,
"H-Hey, it's alright, Coppy, let me just get a towel, or say a blanket and get you all dried u-"
Then the loud cracking of thunder roars, startling (Y/N) and causing Copperhead to shout and flee to the couch like a panicked cat, shuddering from the agitation of the storm's roar,
"Copper!" (Y/N) shouted, running towards him with the blanket in hand, "Hey, hey, shh, shh, it's alright, deep breaths, Copperhead, deep breaths" (Y/N) said, wrapping the blanket around him and rubbing his back,
"It's alright, it's alright... It's alright..." (Y/N)'s voice soothed Copperhead, hearing the snake man take a few deep breaths before feeling much happier than a snake in 75℉ weather (or 23℃ weather), fairly ironic considering it's storming outside,
"I tend to dislike rain, as certain rain droplets get into my suit and helmet, but when there's lightning and thunder; I panic at an instant. I try keeping my composure whenever something like this happens at the Injustice League, my workplace, but it's just too loud..."
He wraps his arms around (Y/N)'s torso and purrs similarly to a feline's, now feeling warm and at peace from the storm. (Y/N) also feeling warm and at peace gives him a smooch on the head, and the both of them rest throughout the storm,
Albeit with a few lightning strikes or two but at least they're both happy during the rainstorm...
But in the end, both are happy, in a wholesome way.
END OF FANFIC BASED ON A PROMPT, may not be as what is expected but it's fun writing this!

HEADCANONS!
Copperhead hates and fears extremely loud noises, so thunderstorms he hates but mostly fears the most.
When certain climates get too cold, he would try to find the warmest area there was and try to keep himself warm. He absolutely hates the cold, and (Y/N) knows this.
I literally changed my layout because I thought folks were serious about Tumblr supporting GIFs as profile pics, so I tested it; expecting the outcome to be like I expected and well...
Eh, at least I got my favorite snek boi as my PFP...
Here’s the full GIF:
Just Grundy squashing and pushing Copperhead aside.
