The first time you saw him, you thought he was nothing short of ethereal, he sat on the rocks by the sea, his dark locks dslicked back from the water, his eyes were light blue and glinting like the sun was reflecting the sea itself in them, his skin unblemished, smooth almost like porcelain. He was a selkie, you were sure of it– His shiny seal skin hiding his bare lower body, making sure no one gets to touch his seal skin, he's seen it with his other selkie friends; Left their skins unattended, only for a human to steal them, resulting in them not only being unable to return to their home, the sea, but also unwillingly being bonded with said human. And he was scared, he was not even ready for a relationship, let's not even talk about one with an unwanted partner!

Hearing the legend, you had no intention of keeping him trapped, no... Not really believing it, if it were true; you just wanted to see how long would it take the selkie to find you if you take his skin and run away, you don't live near to the sea, so he couldn't be able to do it... You hope.

It was an impulsive act, plucking the damp, silvery sealskin from where it was hidden among the rocks. You hid it in your satchel, going on with your day as if nothing happened, because– You didn't expect anything to happen.

But just a few days passed, and now he stood in front of your door, fully dressed, his face was an angry one, his brows were furrowed, and you could see his hands were into fists at his side, you were more focused on how his hair was rather messy, making your heart do flips at how otherwordly he seemed up close.

"I think you have something of mine."

He stated, voice full of annoyance.

"You've got ANY idea what you did, do you even know what this all means?!"
