#Henry with a fluffy coat my beloved <3

More fish, Jekffin time

He finds out that Jekyll is a selkie in the most ridiculous way; he walks in on his cat sleeping on top of a fucking seal. He thinks it's Helsby's weird new pet at first until it wakes up, not noticing him, and just.. turns into Dr. Jekyll. Sets Griffin's cat on a cushion nearby. Stands up. And screams when he sees Griffin. He swears Griffin to secrecy and Griffin pulls the whole 'only if you give me cool ocean facts in return so I can piss off Helsby' card. Through interacting more, they find they have alot in common, and grow closer and closer until Henry let's Griffin touch his coat. Griffin comments that he's surprisingly soft, lifts his head, and wow they are Very Close wait Henry's eyes are closing are they about to kiss??

Also I like to imagine Griffin gets cold easily and when he does he shoves his face into Jekyll's seal belly and just lays on the floor while Henry huffs and puffs because he has paperwork, Jack, he can't just be a seal pillow.

HEHEHEHEHeHEHEHEHEHEH!!!!

Ok but i can imagine that so well. Like, Griffin notices that his cat suddenly went missing, he decides to go on a scavenger hunt trying to find him. And where does he find his bastard of a cat? Either in Dr. Jekyll's office on top of a fucking seal. Like a whole ass seal. His cat is using a seal (huh, that seal is quite thin for a seal, Griffin does notice) as a pillow and the seal doesn't even notice him. Griffin is just staring by the open door as the seal suddenly moves, and he watches in a mix of shock and horror as said seal seems to shed its skin, suddenly it turns into HENRY. Like, either just Henry with clothes on or Henry that is very much naked, depending on how the coat works. Henry continues to have the coat wrapped around him as he places the cat on a cushion, he is about to turn around to go to his bedroom and get clothes but he sees Griffin and screams. Griffin immediately pushes the door close so that Henry's screams won't alert other Lodgers and Henry immediately panics, begging Griffin to not tell anyone, and Griffin is just... So chill about it?? Like his boss is wrapped in a whole ass seal coat, he just turned into a seal, and yet he doesn't even bat an eye at it?? Just tells him to tell him cool facts about the ocean specifically so he can piss of Helsby. Henry repeats that Griffin is swearing he won't tell anyone, Griffin agrees that he won't, Henry calms down and Griffin immediately asks him about all possible selkie questions; is it true that he is married to whoever has his coat? Did he grow up as a selkie or did he grow up like a human but with a selkie coat? Does he have to be naked when he transforms into a seal since he can wear it as an actual coat otherwise? (Henry blushes at the last one). Henry does his best to answer any and all questions Griffin has, and then politely asks him to get out of his office so he can get clothes on <3

Griffin is trusted with a huge secret of Henry's so both just get more and more enticed and curious about the other. Griffin starts coming around for ocean facts (it really does a good job at pissing off Helsby) but he can't help but feel that he is really starting to like Henry's company. One day Henry just suggests that he feels the actual coat, and Griffin couldn't have said no even if he would have wanted to because he is just so curious to feel it. It's still wrapped around Henry and he strokes a hand over the soft fur, Griffin almost feels like he gets pulled into it. Suddenly they are closer and Griffin looks up, their noses brush together, Griffin's breath hitches as Henry closes his eyes and leans forward. Henry feels that he really trusts Griffin because trust is a huge part of selkie culture, and he just starts melting into him even more when Griffin doesn't try to move or remove the seal coat, but instead keeps his hands on Henry's actual body or his face as they smooch <3

I just... I really want to imagine no one else in the society knowing that there even is a seal bc Henry manages to keep it so well hidden, until one day a lodger breaks into Griffin's lab only to see Griffin cuddled up with a straight up seal. Or just him fully buried into Jekyll's fur coat bc it's cold and Henry has other things to do but trusts Griffin with his coat. Just... Cuddles pls <3

#I'm imagining Henry with one of those coats that almost has a train to them #like it would essentially just look like a skinned seal but i have seen art where it looks an actual fur coat #like fashion fur coats #and i keep imagining the coats of arctic seals when i imagine selkie coats and???? they are so soft???? #at least the bbys they are so fluffy #Henry with a fluffy coat my beloved <3 #ask #thejeksburyguy #banshees au #selkie au #jekffin #jekyll x griffin #banshees faves
