Tame Me: Prucan

Six

The next morning Matthew woke up before anybody else. He squirmed out of bed, patting Peter on the head before making his way onto the front deck.
The morning air drifted around his pyjama pants and caressed his bare chest.
"Who's naked now kesesesese~?" A voice piped up. Matthew gasped and turned around, startled, to see the white haired Selkie from the day before.
"Yeah, well, at least you have pants on this time." Matthew leaned his back against the deck railing and gazed at the albino before him. "So, what are you doing here?"
"I realized I didn't get jour name jesterday."
"I didn't think it was that important."
"It is to me." The Selkie approached Matthew, hand resting on his hip. "Mine's Gilbert."
"Matthew."
"Matthew." Gilbert repeated. "Like the ship."
"I don't know what I was named after."
"Vhy not?"
"I dunno..." Matthew shrugged.
Gilbert tucked his hands into his pockets. "Zhat's not all I came by for."
"Huh? What?"
"I vanted to ask jou somezhing."
Matthew nodded, giving the other boy space to talk.
"Vhy did jou give it back?"
"The skin?"
"Ja."
"I just...my brother..." Matthew stammered. "I didn't really have time."
"Mattie...can I ask jou somezhing else?"
"Uh...sure." Matthew tugged on the end of his hair nervously.
"If jou found mein skin under anozher circumstance? If it vas just a casual valk on zhe beach und hour bruder vasn't in danger...vould jou take it zhen?"
Matthew thought about this for a moment. Would he? Would he really take in a human-like creature as what was basically a slave?
"Um....probably not." 
"Really?" The albino looked surprised.
"Yeah...I could never do something like that to anybody." Especially not a boy as...hot...as Gil.
Wait?
Did you just call him hot?
"Mattie?"
"Huh?"
"Jou kinda got phased out zhere."
"Did I?"
Gil chuckled. "Ja."
Matthew sighed softly. "Sorry."
"Isht fine."
"Matthew? Who is this?" Arthur called down from his now open bedroom window. Matthew and Gilbert looked up, startled.
"This is...just a guy..." Matthew stammered. "He was taking a morning walk and stopped by when he saw me."
"Guten morgen!" Gil chirped in what Matthew guessed was German.
"Oh...good morning to you too..." Arthur went back into his room, causing Matthew to realize something.
"I've got to start breakfast before these guys set the kitchen on fire." He started toward the front door but Gil caught his wrist.
"Vhen can I see jou again?"
"Huh?"
"Tonight at midnight in zhe spot vhere ve first met. I'll be vaiting."
"I'll be there." Why was he saying this?
"Awesome! Isht a date!"

I'm honestly going through some pretty bad stuff right now. All having to do with the fact that I haven't had any proper human contact in half a year and because all the people at my school are idiots whose biggest worries are what colour shoes they're gonna wear. But you guys are pretty much the only thing keeping me from completely loosing it. You guys and my other internet friends. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
