Okay basing this off the fact Eclipse can travel waters, what if Yn tells him they can't live in one cold and he just takes them to the warmer waters?

Heheh seahorse yn

Oh my gosh oh my gosh hhhhghghghhghg new Y/N just dropped

This would be one setting where it's not in the Arctic but Eclipse has left those waters to drift about, and look what he happens to find! A lovely little siren, hiding in the kelp.

A leafy sea dragon that can camouflage and even change colors to hide themselves in seaweed and the kelp formations they live amongst. Speed is not their forte. They also have a prehensile tail that can coil around or grasp things. They would live in deeper waters and have beautiful dark brown, yellow, and greenish hues to their leaf-like appendages over their tail with small, transparent dorsal and pectoral fins!

Every time Eclipse glides through the warm waters of seagrass, searching like a hungry shark, Y/N clings tightly to kelp with wide, terrified eyes. They watch him drift closer, hoping against hope that their tail colors have shifted enough to blend them into invisibility. But, somehow, he always snatches them out of the protection of the underwater forest and meadows. Y/N cannot run away, they simply lack the agility and speed, so they're stuck once Eclipse has his hands on them.

Y/N gets used to Eclipse's grabbiness—it's strange to interact with an apex predator that doesn't want to eat them (at least not right away.) They will relax enough to let Eclipse pull them along, his pace so much faster, and even coil their tail around him when Eclipse decides to stretch out on the seagrass for cuddles.

Y/N's leafy appendages are a great source of awe and admiration for Eclipse, and Y/N has never seen such a black and white fish like him before, especially not in their home. Eclipse loves Y/N's slow and drawn-out singing. Y/N doesn't often sing, especially when he's taking hold of them, but he'll keep his hands off just to let them echo a few notes while weaving in between the long kelp strands. He'll follow, much less graceful in the watery forest, but he never loses sight of them.

Sooo about sea dragon YN. Let's just say I'm obsessed already lmao

idk if it was already mentioned but seahorses have a huge habit of traveling while their tail wrapped with their mate's one to not lose each other in the current. They actually are so romantic creatures if I'm being honest. (Yn too smal to wrap their tail fully around Clip but still tries? It's just cuteness attack on both Orca man and us 🥺)

Another example is what sea horses couple will every morning engage in ritualistic dances to greet each other, moving through intricate, rhythmic sequences of twists and twirls for minutes to hours on end. They engage in this to unsure their bond, help syncing their reproductive cycles and verify each day that their partner is both still fervently committed and, frankly, alive. (I can't get out of my head the image of amused Eclipse watching leafy YN dancing for him first thing in the morning)

Leafy seadragons can clump together in a group that looks like a floating mat of seaweed if there's too much danger. So imagine nervous YN trying to hide from other predator by clinging to Eclipse while trying so hard to imitate some sort of seaweed stuck on him or smt lol

That's so cute—seahorses are the romantics of the sea!!! Y/N wraps their around Eclipse for cuddles and to be pulled by his stronger, faster swimming. (Eclipse never gets over it—he loves how they cling to him so tight!)

Dancing rituals are so sweet! Eclipse considers singing to be an intimate and bond-strengthening gesture, so each morning would be filled with Y/N's dancing and Eclipse's lullabies! They're quite the couple at first light.

Oh my gosh, Y/N changing to really, really pale yellow and dark, verdant green in an attempt to blend against Eclipse's black and white markings while holding onto him is adorable. Seadragon Y/N is very nervous and tends to cower when they feels there's too much danger. Eclipse would chuckle and whisper that there's no need for them to be afraid—he won't let anything or anyone hurt them.
