[And just like that, his demeanor sobers, fingers squeezing with reassurance around his boyfriend's. (Wow, that's something to think about!!!)
Then, like the ripple of the water's surface when a stone is thrown in, Vincent shifts, the entirety of his skin fading to ebony, along with the scleras of his eyes, although the irises spark to life with the color of fiery opals. Things that can only be described as 'scales' begin to spread across the length of his arms and legs - they are less prominent on his torso, but still faintly visible - all the way to the start of his forehead, down to the tops of his feet, although those are covered for now. His hair re-lengthens to the style Jay is most likely more used to and returns to its natural state of black, which makes him lift his arm so he can run a now clawed hand through the strands.
With the transformation complete, he inhales deep and brings his gaze back to Jay's, the left side of his face curling up just enough to show the sharp point of a fang.]
... this [he gestures with his free hand] is what I really look like.
