Authors note: running out of ideas...I think I'm going to write more shorter fics to put more quality into the writing.

I was his from the day he became a man.

Fishing and weaving wasn't really my strong point but medicine was my great passion. I spent my days in the jungle among the reefs. Always following behind me was nonother then than Ao’nung. We were never separated. My theory is he lives to annoy me. He always had something to say whether it was flirting or just being him.

“Ao’nung must you follow me everywhere?” I say speeding and walking to get out of his sight. Making sure to walk into leaves to smack him.

“Then who would keep you company baby girl?” he says smirking, giving me those eyes I can't stand. He knew I thought he was attractive but he also knew I’d never give in. making my way to the brush I don't hear his footsteps anymore. I sign in relief. I bent down picking some flowers for the herbal tea Tsireya and I always drink. My ears perk up with awareness as I hear a foot walk into a moon pool. Looking over at him to see him smiling and motioning his hand for me to come. I made my way over to a rock where he was sitting standing in front of him. I looked up at myself with the most breathtaking stare. He puts his hand on my hips

“Come sit pretty girl. Let's take a break, you deserve it.” he pulls me down sitting me in between his legs. I didn't talk, I had too much on my mind. Guilt takes over my body, I should be working not playing around with a boy. 

“Ao’nung I should be harvesting herbs…” I sign about to get up but, he pulls me back down pulling his chest on my back. “Relax, we have many healers you’re not even tsahik.” I can tell he's rolling his eyes. He’s not wrong I should relax for at least today.

“How can I relax when you’re always around ma ‘nung?” I jokingly sigh. With that, he picks me up hovering me over the water

“Ma ‘nung, please! Don't please!” not listening to me he drops me into the water. Taking this chance I dive deeper into the water. Hiding behind coral I watch him look for me. Ever since we were little, we have played this little game. I swim into an underwater cave coming to the surface and taking in air. I walk into the cave looking for a particular plant. 

“Found you babygirl.” Ao’nung says hugging me from behind. He helps me pick leaves off the glowing plat. I smile at the leave he hands me. Though he was known as a bad boy in the village I've never seen that version of him when we're alone. “We should probably go back ma ‘nung. Didn’t you say you were going to go fishing with the men? You still have duties Ao’nung.” I lecture him like his mother. He sighs grabbing my hand to bring me back into the water.

Many hours later we made our way back to the village. I watch the ground as he leads the way holding my hand. He suddenly grabs in tighter making my attention shift forward. I see some guys Ao’nung hangs out with

“You're late ma Ao’nung. Hurry up and let's go”

“Leave your little toy alone for once” Ao’nung didn't like that comment and smacked the Na’vi male in the head. I watched them leave into the canoes. As they disappeared into the horizon I made my way to my muri.

“Dude just proposed to her already. If you don't I will.” I knew he was telling the truth. She was a very sought out woman. I glared at the boy na’vi trying my best not to smack him some more. The truth is I’m scared to tell her my true feelings because we've been childhood friends for so long. She is everything I want in a woman. My own mother approves greatly, but I'm scared of rejection. 

“Look what you did Rotxo. He's freaking out.'' The boys laughed at me. I know they meant no harm, but I can't help to feel annoyed. 

“Enough! We came here to fish!” I yell rowing faster trying to distract the buzzing in my head.

“Ma Ao’nung don't you fret I have a perfect plan to win your girl's heart. All you need to do is hang out with other girls.” Is this guy stupid or something?

“How would that help me in the slightest!?’ i yell even more frustrated 

“Just think about it. She’ll see you with another girl and get jealous. She’ll realize how much she wants you ma Ao’nung. Trust me it has worked many times for us.” he says confidently looking around the group of boys for validation. I looked at the water contemplating if this was a good idea. I didn't really have many options other than this. I’ve made up my mind.

“I will do it I say loudly standing up” they cheered for me as I picked up my spear

“First course of action ma Ao’nung you must catch the biggest fish to give to a girl.” Once again they all cheered and dove into the water.

~~~

I missed Ao’nung. He’d usually be back by now showing off his catch and gifting it to me. It's often quiet in my muri without him here. Not wanting to sit here in silence I make my way to the village center. I stop standing afar from the people admiring the beauty of the village. 

I feel my ears perk up listening to a conversation behind me. 

“Did you think Ao’nungs plan would work?”

“It should I  mean what girl wouldn't want him.” my heart sinks, maybe I was too cold to him. Maybe I pushed him into the arms of another, but I was quickly given reassurance.

“I can't believe he’s too much of a wuss to ask Lun out, he has to make her jealous.” I look down at my feet smirking trying not to laugh. So he does have feelings for me after all. I'm disappointed he couldn’t just tell me directly. I’m going to have fun with this. I make my way to the bond fire making sure to sway my hips to get Ao’nungs attention. He sat there with some random girl in his lap. I internally roll my eyes, how could he be so stupid? I sat on the opposite side of the fire right next to some guys. 

“Ma Lun you came tonight. I thought you’d be too busy for the feast tonight.” Meuia said with a soft smile. He was a sweet, kind boy. Though coming from a family of warriors tis, not his nature, we knew each other from our fathers. “I thought I should get some fresh air you know?” I say politely. I watched him look away nervously rubbing his fingers as if he was in pain. I grab them quickly observing them.

“Ma Meuia what has happened?”

“Oh, this is just weaver's hand. It is quite normal”

“ You should let me fix it. I wish the weavers would have come to me sooner there is a cure for this ma Meuia.” I grab his hand swaying my hips as we walk past Ao’nung. I can feel him burn holes into my backside. From the corner of my eye, I see him get up and follow us. 

We make our way into my muri. I bent down making sure to show off the roundness of my ass.

“I know it is here somewhere,” I say knowing exactly where it was. I wag my tail back and forth knowing Ao’nung is watching somewhere nearby. 

“Ah, I found it. Come here so I can fix you up.”

He walks over to me kneeling. I grab his hand rubbing herbs on it.

“So are you courting anyone yet ma Meuia?” I ask innocently giving him puppy eyes

“Well know but I want to ask you if-” he was quickly shut down by Ao’nung barging into my muri

“I’m going to have to ask you to leave ma meuia. I need to speak to Lum about a very important business.” he sternally says, opening the cloth door and asking him to leave. He gets up before I can speak and rushes out the door. 

“Ma Ao’nung what could you possibly want now? Come to bother me now? You should go to that other girl.”

“I want you babygirl.” he couldn’t be more clear than as of right now. “I wanted you from the moment I became a man. You are everything to me. I was stupid to ever think making you jealous would make you confess your love. I was a coward and I'm sorry please forgive me.” I didn't know what to say. All I knew is that I wanted him. 

“Ma Ao’nung…I want you to.”

Genre: angst & fluff

Word count: 4.4k

author note: I'm trying to learn how to use the Tumblr application more so that I can take requests in the future. I've had a hard time coming up with ideas on my own :( but, I love writing.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧

I never have guests on my canoe.

Growing up in the Metkayina clan was a quiet life, and I love it. Every morning I would go fishing beyond the reef. It was a dangerous job but, brought my family great pride. I didn't have many friends. Tsireya was one of my best friends. Though we are very different people we get along surprisingly well. I haven't seen her in a couple of days, Tsireya has been given the duty of teaching the newcomers the way of our people. From what I know they are forest people. four children that have been added to our village. Their father is Toruk Makto. They are all mighty warriors fleeing war. I have yet to meet these children, but Tsireya says their a lively group

The sun heats my blue skin as I’m rowing on my canoe. Sweat drips from my forehead, I see the village from afar. As I’m rowing I see three dark blue Na’vi. They must be the newcomers. Seconds after they come up for air Tsireya, Au’noug, and Rotox. They notice me in between them.

“Are you alright?” Tsireya asks kindly and is a little concerned not being used to such short-breathed Na’vi.

“You are not good divers may be good at swinging through trees-” Au’noug said in a low voice, but Tsireya soon stops his insult. 

“ you're too fast for us” the youngest one whines

“ breath, just breath.” Tsireya calmly says

“We don't understand what you're saying. We don't understand this finger talk.”

“I’ll teach you,” Tsireya says kindly. Then she notices me. She was the only one to first noticed me. “Ma sum you're back early, " she says excitedly. Now feeling all eyes on me I find that words cannot be formed. I simply signed “ the fish were hiding…” I smiled. The three sea Na’vi laughed at my joke. “Why don't you come to join us? We're going to be teaching our newcomers to ride Ilu.” she signed I look at the forest Na’vi and they had confusion on their faces. I look past me to see if maybe it wasn't me but to my surprise, nothing was behind me. I turn back at Tsireya “Am I doing something odd?” “No not at all ma sum, they just don't understand sign yet.” my silence is getting too loud for my liking I quickly bring up the courage to spit out “illputmycanoebackandmeetyouontherocks.” paddling away with all my might. I couldn't get the oldest Na’vis face out of my head. The way he looked at me was memorizing. 

I tied my canoe to stilts on my muri and made my way over to the beach. My heart was racing. I'm not used to hanging out with so many people. I stop at the edge of the water feeling the sand consume my feet. I listen to the sound of the waves pushing back and forth, I'm lost in a trance noticing every detail Ewya created.

“Ma sum. sum. sum…?”

“What's wrong with her?” quiet voices say from afar. As I’m waking up from my trance I look up to see Tsireya and the forest kids. I feel the heat rise to my cheeks, embarrassed of my behavior. “Huh? What did you say?” I say looking at the second youngest to my assumption. “Are you okay?” he asked, looking at me softly like he understood. “Oh yeah Sum is fine, our great-mother calls to her at times,” Tsireya explains walking into the freshwater. “She's like Kiri!” the youngest screams with excitement. 

“Who Kiri?” “Actually I don't think I know any of your guys' names,” I say embarrassed not knowing the names of the newcomers. I hope I don't come off as rude. The last thing I want is for them to think I don't like them.

“I’m Neteyam” the tallest points to himself, then moves to the two others. “This is Lo’ak and Tuktirey,” he says moving in between them messing up their hair. Interesting names. They aren't common among reef people.

“Nice to meet you all. I’m sum.” I walk waist-deep into the water and call for my Ilu. I’m startled as Ao’nung comes out of the water from nowhere. Obviously frightened he makes snarky comments as he always does. “You called?” he smirks “Huh!? You've obviously lost it ma Ao’nung.” “The way you say my name gets me all excited. You know we could give it a try if didn't live on your Canoe.” another one of his annoying comments. I know it's only jokes. Ao'nung is a man with the taste of many women...at the same time. we grew up together, and thinking about him courting me made me sick. “Kä, we have children to teach.” I point as I swim back toward the group.

“These are Ilu. if you want to live here you have to ride.” Ao’nung said in a very fake manly voice. He's probably trying to assert his dominance among the forest boys. I think to myself “boys” internally rolling my eyes. Everybody finds a partner to teach the way of the Ilu. to my surprise Neteyam is all by himself. I walk up to him not wanting him to feel left out.

“Would…you like to partner up with me?” my voice cracking mid-sentence. I don't know why I'm nervous but Neteyam just has that power over me. I've only met him once and you feel a crush starting to form. “I’d love you ma sum” he smiles sweetly looking down at me. He gently hops into the Ilu gripping the neck of the creature.

“You must hold here” I place his hand on the woven handles. “If you hold its neck it will harm the creature,” I say sternly. I care for the Ilu deeply; they are the most valuable asset to our clan. I turn my attention to the Ilu’s Queue handing it to Neteyam. “Make the bond gently. Feel her breath, feel the way her fins glide into the water, see the ocean through her eyes. When you are ready, think to swim.” with that, he’s off underwater cutting the waves. I dunk my head underwater to take a look at his position. He glides through the water ever so gracefully. He rides like a warrior. He takes a sharp turn to come back in my direction. He breaks the water surface smiling. “That felt amazing ma Sum,” he yells probably because there is still water in his ears. “Ma Neteyam you did amazing. Come let's ride,” I say, calling for another Ilu. I gracefully hop on and swim with the others. 

The day drifted away after the kids learned how to ride the Ilu. We spent hours riding around and showing the kids all the animals of our reef. Before we knew it, it was eclips. We said our goodbyes and I went back to my muri. As I’m walking I feel a ripple within the waves not caused by me. I turn out of fright. To my surprise it's Neteyam, I gaze at him for just a second not wanting to make him uncomfortable. He looked down at me like I was prey. 

“Ma sum are you busy?” 

“Umm just a little bit,” I say, chewing on my bottom lip. I put my hands behind my back, swaying my hips side to side and looking up at him. “Is there something I could help you with?” Before he could answer, a Na'vi girl called him over. I took a glance over to see it wasn't just one but three. I watched him quickly turn around to see who was calling him. He walks towards him leaving me standing alone. As he's walking he shouts at me goodbye. Before I could say goodbye back he was gone. I swiftly walk into my muri longing for my bed. 

~~~

I wake up and immediately jump into the water to wake me up. Floating in crystal clear water, the sun's rays bake my skin in the best way. Diving deep I collect some clams to bring to breakfast with everybody. As I'm focusing on collecting clams a shimmering shell caught my eye. To my surprise I see Neteyam and a Na’vi girl wearing a very pretty shell top. I peek over the coral covering my body. I see them swimming with each other as if they're racing. My heart stops for a moment watching the girl hug him tightly. I don't think I should be watching this. Not wanting to invade their privacy I dive up to the shore heading toward the clan center. Saying my hellos or the village people I finally met up with everybody eating. Nobody seemed to notice my presence, but I didn't mind. Finding my way over to the fire I kneel down shucking the clams from their shells and thanking them for providing me with their nutrients. Quietly sitting I hear a Lo’ak behind me speaking to Tsireya.

“Do you know where Neteyam is? He wasn't in his hammock this morning.” my ears perk up knowing the answer to the question. I turn my body to answer the question “I saw Neteyam swimming with a girl this morning.” 

“With a girl!?” Lo’ak chuckled. Before he could say anything else Tsireya’s mother yelled at her “Tsireya come you must assist me in healing the divers.” the way that she yelled I knew there was more anger in her voice because she was hanging out with Lo’ak outside of training. I put my attention back on the roasting clams, but I feel someone step on my tail. I stand up quickly and see Neteyam with the girl. She looks me up and down grabs onto Neteyams arms, and walks away.

“What was that about?” Lo’ak asked with a mix of confusion and disgust on his face. “I’m not sure, to be honest.” bending down at the fire grabbing the clams that were cooking on the sticks I sit down next to Lo’ak. Handing him one. “Here try it. I caught it this morning.” he takes one from my hand and takes a whole clam in one bite. I scan his face trying to see if he’d like it. To my surprise, his eyebrows lifted up with joy. Mouth full and open to let the heat out Lo’ak mumbles “this is really good. This is the best thing I’ve eaten since I got here.” I smiled with the praise given “I can show you where and how to harvest them if you’d like.” he shook his head in agreement. As we ate Neteyam sits next to Lo’ak followed by the girl. 

“Lo’ak what are you eating? Also, this is Mal.” Neteyam chuckled amused by his brother's expression. “Oh hey sum.” he waved, soon after I blushed looking down at the clam skewers in my hand. “Here try this ma Neteyam it's clam  I caught them this morning.” I handed him the skewer smiling with my eyes. 

“Big bro you should join us later. Sum is gonna teach me where to find these delicious clams.” Lo’ak says with a mouth full of clams once again. I look at Neteyam giving him puppy-like eyes. He looks at Mal for some reason. “Um yeah I'd Love to,” he says, slightly confused looking at Mal. 

“Good after you two finish up I'll take you guys on my canoe,” I say standing up and putting the fire out.

~~~

I and the boys sat inside my canoe. All three of us push the canoe into the water and set sail. The intense heat and rowing labor really made my skin sweat. Surprisingly Neteyam grabbed my hand. His touch was so gentle, so delicate. 

“Here let me row.” he smiles, taking the paddle from my hand. 

“Row in that direction” pointing east of the reef. After we made it to our destination we all jumped into the water. Feeling the warm water was a nice refreshment. I swim down into the coral pointing at the large clams resting on the seafloor. I handed them a small net to put their catch in.

After about two hours we had found enough clams for dinner tonight. I look down at the motioning to get back on the canoe.

“Did you guys have fun?” I asked sweetly

“Thank-” Neteyam was interrupted but something grabbed Lo’ak from the edge of the canoe dragging him into the water. Neteyam and I stood up out of shock trying to see what best pulled him under. To our surprise, it was no beast, but only Tsireya. We looked at each other terrified and amused laughing. “Oh, my Eywa ma Tsireya you scared us” I yelled, holding my heart. She looks back at me floating on her back. “Can I steal Lo’ak from you guys?” though it wasn't a question I nod in agreement. Watching them swim away I sat down watching Neteyam look at the clams. Breaking the silence, Neteyam looks up at me.

“Thank you for everything,” he says in his deep voice which just melts my heart. His smile is contagious. Feeling butterflies in my stomach  I struggle to find words.

“Uh oh, I haven't done much really.” I tuck my hair behind my ear trying not to make eye contact. He sets his hand on my arm, grabbing it lightly to get my attention.

“Ma Sum you have made my family feel like one of the people, and I thank you for that,” Neteyam said so sweetly, making more butterflies in my stomach. He opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by Mal riding her Ilu. 

“Ma Neteyam come all of us are partying on the beach,” she yells motioning to get on. He looks back at me, giving me apologetic eyes. “Do you want-” “It's not really her thing Neteyam now come before the light the fire without us,” he says, pulling his arm. Before he leaves he grabs my hand to give my knuckles a kiss goodbye. I watch them dive down, swimming out of sight. I sign rowing back to shore in the direction of my muri.

~~~

Cleaning the clams for dinner tonight I’m interrupted by Lo’ak and Tsireya skipping into my muri like children. “Yes, children?” I say in a low tone voice fake annoyed. “We didn't see you at the party so we came to get you.” she pouts kneeling down and putting her head on my shoulder. Now both of them lean on me and I sigh “I have much work to do children, I don't have time for Parties.” “But you have time for Neteyam?” she pouts even more. “Only to teach diving  for clams.” I exclaimed, “please come you never come out with us.” “look ma Tsireya” I'm a mess. I can't go out in this. Sorry, maybe another night.” pointing at my dirty clothes. She gets up huffing, stopping over to a woven basket, and digging for some time. “Uh ha!” she pulled out a matching purple set with a breast cover that crosses over. My mother bought that for me on a trading trip months ago. 

“Ma Tsireya ugh how did you know I had that.” I tilt my head back groaning. “Put in on then we're leaving,” she says walking out of my muri with Lo’ak. I groan, taking off my fishing clothes to put on my never worn outfit, I look down admiring the colors, grab my pouch, and head out the door. 

“Here happy now ma Tsireya?” I say spinning to show off my outfit. She grabs my arms running towards the beach. Not long after we make it to the beach I'm left alone by the fire. I watch Neteyam dance with Mal, and I can't help feeling jealous. Our eyes meet and he excuses himself from Mal. she glares at me as if every time I get a second with him she pulls him away.

I smile at him as he makes his way over to me.

“I thought parties weren't your thing Ma Sum?” he jokingly asks 

“They aren't really, but Tsireya practically dragged me by my tail.” I fake cry leaning into his shoulder. To my surprise, he grabs me by the waist pulling me in between his legs. I feel the blood rush up to my cheeks tilting my head back to see him looking down at me. 

“I’ve been meaning to ask you something ma Sum.”

“What is it?”

“I meant to ask you a while ago but every time we're alone something interrupts us.” not knowing the severity of the question I turn my body to face him. “Do you want to go on a date tomorrow?” my mouth falls on the floor. Did he really just ask me that? Is this a cruel joke I ask myself? 

I scratch my head out as my nerves eat me alive.” of course ma Neteyam.” I say jumping into his lap. I feel like the luckiest girl alive. We sit here as he traces my tattoos with his finders. 

“What do your tattoos mean?” 

“They mean the protection of the reef walls,” I explain. I wonder if Neteyam will ever get one. At our age, it's very common to finish the rites of passage. Though in his clan has already seen as a man.

“What are we gonna do on our date tomorrow ma Neteyam?” I ask giggling from excitement. 

“Whatever you want yawntu. I was thinking of a picnic on the beach farther away from the village. 

“That sounds perfect, I’ll bring some food as well” “I’ll meet you by the rocks at noon”

Hours passed by and I actually partied with everyone. I drank alcohol with everybody. Unfortunately, Neteyam has pulled away from me again so I find my way back to the fire. 

“What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?” I turn my head around to see Ao’nung making his way beside me. “What do you want fish lips?” “fish lips? You've been hanging out with the sully kids too much ma sum. I just came to check up on you, you've had a lot to drink.” 

he teased patting my head.

“That is true I think I might head home,” I say getting up 

“Here let me walk you home. I wouldn't want you to get hurt. "Without protesting he follows me wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“Ma Nung you're wet and cold” 

“I was swimming with some girls earlier.'' He looks down at me, winking. Eywa this boy was out of control. “Ew gross ma Nung.” I teased laughing at him. Some might think Ao’nung and I are a thing but we're really just friends. Though our parents want that to be otherwise. As we walk past everybody and slip from the side effects of drinking. “Ouch,” I say on the ground, defeated. I look up at Ao’nung and start laughing hysterically. 

“Here baby girl let me” without warning he picks me up bridal style. “Ma Nung put me down!” I laugh, punching him lightly. He ignores me and walks me all the way to my muri placing me in my hammock. “ hivahaw nìmwey ma Sum” he says leaving my muri. My eyes feel heavy and I find myself drifting to sleep.

~~~

I watched her talk to Ao’nung I couldn't help to feel jealous. Standing next to me was Mal, I didn't like her that much. She was always around asking for a stupid thing that could have waited. 

“What on your mind teyam?” I hated that Mal called me that. 

“Are Sum and Ao’nung always that close,” I asked, feeling my tail sway back and forth from anger. 

“Them? Yeah ever since birth. Ao’nung is very protective of her. I heard they were promised to each other.” my ears stick up to her last words. Watching her get up I step forward to assist her, but Ao’nung beats me to it. I watch as he wraps his arm around her. I bite my tongue fighting the urge to walk over there and shove him off. Dad said to not cause trouble, but it's getting really hard. 

“Don’t waste your time on her Neteyam. She’s basically mated.” 

“I asked her out on a date by the beach. Why would she say yes then,” I question trying to deny anything she said.

“You're an attractive guy Neteyam. I've heard she's kind of a player, she likes to lead guys on. Why do you think she isn't mated with Ao’nung? They're all close look at them” I watch him pick her up bridal style. “See all touchy. Don't go on that date tomorrow, I'll introduce you to other fine Na’vi women. Mal grabs my hand to lead me into a crowd. My mind starts to wonder about her. She seems like a really shy girl. Why would she lead me on then?

~~~

I woke up in the afternoon feeling like shit. I walk over to the small kitchen in my muri and start preparing a bunch of dishes that you can only find among us reef people. Hours passed and by the time I finished, it was noon. I pack all my food and set it inside a basket. I dig into my clothes basket trying to find the perfect outfit. I found Tsireya’s old top and put it on. It is a pink woven top with matching light brown loincloth. Making my way to the rocks I sat down waiting for him. I watch as the sun sets wondering where he could be. Maybe he was running late. 

He was running late.

So late he didn't show up.

Feeling defeated sitting here for hours making myself look like a fool. Tears fill my eyes as I walk all the way back to my muri. I drag my feet occasionally kicking rocks. I accidentally bump into a tall Navi. I look up to see Lo’ak, Tsireya, and Kiri. I look up at them, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't find words. 

“Ma sum what's wrong,” Tsireya asks never seeing me cry like this.

“Nothing wrong I’m just going home,” I whisper, hiding the basket of food behind my back. Though it only made them notice it more.

“Tell us what's really going on.” they all said 

“Last night Neteyam asked me out on a date. he said we could go on a picnic on the beach, and meet him on the rocks. I waited for hours till the sun went down. I don’t know why he didn't show up. He was the one who asked me out. Did I do anything wrong?” I cry rambling on and on. 

“Oh, ma Sum I’m sorry you didn't deserve that. Do you want to hang out with us?” Lo’ak asks 

“I'm okay guys really I think I’m just gonna head home.” I handed the basket to Lo’ak, “here give this to Neteyam. I'm not that hungry and wouldn't want it to go to waste.” I waved goodbye making it into my muri. Alone I cry myself to sleep.

~~~

Barging into the muri I see Lo’ak fuming with anger. He throws a very heavy basket at me and lands straight into my chest. 

“You fucking skxqwng,” he screams in my face. Dad rushes over to him to control him from pouncing on me. 

“What the fuck is your fucking problem,” I question though I think I already know what's wrong. 

“Tell them what you did ma Neteyam, tell them” 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I scream 

“Yeah, you wanna know what your perfect son did. Dad? He asked sum on a date and ghosted her. She cooked you all this food and waited hours at the rocks.” he huffs. My heart drops into my stomach

“Boys take it outside…NOW!” dad yells pointing towards the door. We both walk outside so nobody can hear us.

“Why do you care so much ma Lo’ak?”

“She's a nice girl ma Neteyam. She didn't deserve that.” 

“She’s promised to Ao’nung Lo’ak”

“Who the fuck told you that? Let me guess Mal?” he looked so disappointed. How would he know?

“Yeah she did, does it even matter though?”

“It matters because it's not true. Ao’nung isn't interested in Sum their strictly just friends he told me himself last night. Yeah, he flirts with her, but that's just his personality.” I feel all the muscles in my face drop. 

I fucked up.

I fucked up real bad.

“So she's not promised to him?” Lo’ak’s mouth opens out of annoyance dropping his shoulders “Yes Neteyam she's single. And you fucked up go fix it before it's too late.” he yells pushing me in the direction of Sum’s muri.

~~~

I lay in my bed sobbing. I can’t believe that I’d ever thought that he’d actually want to go on a date with me. My neck feels hot and my heart is my stomach. I feel like such a fool. Over my loud cries, I'm surprised to see Neteyam sitting next to me on the floor. He grazes my shoulder with his rough hands.

“Go away Neteyam. You're the last person I want to see right now.” I cry even harder than before. His gaze softened even more. He opens his mouth to speak but I cover his mouth before he can speak.

“You don’t get to talk. You hurt my feelings, you made me look like a fool.” I pout trying not to cry more. He grabs my wrist to move my hand and holds it between both of his hands. Looking into my eyes.

“Please hear me out. It is all I ask, I’m sorry I ghosted you ma Sum. after I asked you out Mal told me you were promised to Ao’nung.” he cried frantically.

“But I'm not promised to Ao’nung ma Neteyam.” I interrupted him.

“I know that now Lo’ak just told me. Look ma Sum I’m sorry. I should have talked to you about it in person but I was a coward. I hurt the only girl who sees me for me and not toruk makto’s son. Please if you can find it in your heart forgive me.” he now held my face whipping away any tears that fell from my eyes. Could I  forgive him? I want to forgive him. Without saying anything I crawl into his lap resting my head in the crook of his neck. Holding him tight I softly spoke.

“Please don’t do it again.” squeezing me tighter he spoke with great relief.

“I promise ma Sum” 

Neteyam lifts me up, setting me on the floor. Grabs my blanket, shaking it to lay flat on my bedroom floor. I tilt my head mentally asking him “what are you doing?”

Without me speaking he reassures me “just a second ma yawntu.” he walks over to the door to grab the basket of food I packed earlier. My heart melts realizing what he's doing. Grabbing candles out of the basket lights them placing around up

“Let's eat?” he smiles.

Neteyam x OC Na'vi

Aouthers note: Its a litte bit suggestive but not smut. I tried to not write this so angsty. BUT it has posesive neteyam!

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: :･ﾟ✧

Saying Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan was obsessed with you was an understatement.

I could feel Neteyam’s eyes staring right at you from behind. We had gone hunting or at least try. Neteyam made it very difficult to focus. I could feel his breath on my neck. For many years I've gotten a sense that Neteyam had taken interest in me. At first, it was just kind smiles but now he follows me like a lost pululukan pup. even though he swears he hates me.

 “Ma Neteyam please give me space. I cannot hunt with you breathing down my neck.” he backs up and sits down on the branch we stood on. I pull my arrow back, breathe in and shoot. A clean kill. I jump off the branch onto another until it’s a safe enough distance to let my feet hit the forest ground. I kneel down to the Hexapade. I start my prayer “Oel ngati kameie, ma tsmukan, ulte ngaru seiyi irayo. Ngari hu Eywa salew tirea, tokx 'ì'awn slu Na'viyä hapxì.” (I see you, brother, and I thank you. Your spirit will run with Eywa, while your body will remain and become part of the People.) I tie up the creature's feet together and put them on my back. “Ma Kalin I could have done better. '' Neteyam said, following me back to the village. “Neteyam don’t you have duties to tend to?” I scold

“But, I love hanging out with you,” he said sarcastically 

“Duty first kä.” I point forward to signal him to leave. I watch him walk away into the crowd of men waiting for him. I walk towards the ‘emyu so they can prepare the meal for dinner tonight. As I'm walking I'm stopped by Kato. He looks down at me from his height and smiles.

“Do you need help there little lady?” 

“Ma Kato I’m fine, leave me alone,” I say, rolling my eyes. At my age, it is very common for me to be looking for a mate. What I really want is to explore the forest and eat fruit. Men often tried to pursue my hand but I ignored them all. My father is Eyktanay one step down from 

olo’eyktan . That means many men come to me trying to get a higher status. 

“You should really loosen up Ma Kalin,” he says, throwing his hands in the air. I knew immediately that Neteyam was watching. I knew that he was very possessive of me even though we were not even promised to each other. I thought to myself maybe I should let him be mad. You knew it was stupid playing with him but, I also seemed so much fun. So I walk shoulder to shoulder with Kato and giggle at his unfunny jokes. We make it to the kitchen and part ways. 

“This is a fine size Kalin.” one of the cook's compliments.

“Really Neteyams words made me feel like it was too small” I sigh, sitting down next to a fire that roasts teylu. 

“Don't worry child, it's perfect now run along and be young. Kiri stopped by asking for you. You should pay her a visiting child.”

“Irayo” 

I walk towards Kiri's muri one my way I pass the men tending to their Ikran. I see Neteyam and ignore him for Kato. From the corner of my eye, he's scowling as I walk by. I make it to the muri and enter. “Honey I’m home ” I called out to Kiri. 

“I was hoping you’d get my word,” she said, motioning me to sit down. Kiri and I have been friends for many years now. Our friendship began when we were at the age of training. We bonded with our Ikran on the same day.

“So I heard you hunted with my brother this morning.” she giggled. Suggesting something much more.

“Kiri, I'm not interested in your brother,” I said. The thought of  Neteyam being my mate doesn't seem half bad. He’s a mighty warrior and a very skilled hunter. He was one of the youngest Na’vi in our clan to make a clean kill. On the other hand, if we were to ever give it a chance he would need to mature a lot more. Even after all that it would complicate things between our families, that is something I hold very dear to me. 

“You never know Kalin. Daughter of  Eyktanay son of olo’eyktan. It's as if eywa herself is writing your love story.”

“Thanks but no thanks, Kiri. I have other plans.” 

“Like what? dance around the forest naked and eat fruit.”

“Maybe I will Kiri. Maybe I’ll become the village crazy lady,” I say, slapping her shoulder. Thought that idea didn't sound so bad. 

“I'd like to see that.” Neteyam chuckled. He towered above me. My Eywa he's easy on the eyes. I was taking him in looking up and down. I feel like hours have gone by of me gazing at him.

“Don't forget to blink Kalin.” he teased my Eywa he knew how to get on my nerves even if it were the tiniest thing. You turn around facing the fire. You closed your eyes seeing red and orange flash up and down. You got closer, feeling the warmth make your cheeks red. You felt something you haven't in weeks, inner peace. Like everything in this world, it must come to an end. I'm interrupted by Neteyam sitting behind me so that I'm now in between his legs. He set his head on my back. 

“Kiri come here for a moment my sweet child” their mother yells outside of the muri. Leaving Neteyam and me all alone. I felt the coldness of his body. It feels so good but my words betray me. 

“Neteyam get off. Your body is so cold,” I whine like a child. I don't know why I said that. I know we hate each other, but we have our cute moments sometimes. When we're alone I could call him a friend but nothing more. I quickly reminded myself why we hated each other. We were rivals. We competed in everything, Hunting, flying, and sometimes swimming. 

“Whatever.” he rolled his eyes, getting up. I watched him walk toward the wall where he hung his knife. He brought it over to the fire for light and started sharpening it. I watched his muscles flex as he stoked the knife back and forth. My ears pull back as I hear someone call my name. 

“Kalin! I thought I’d find you here.” I turn around to see Kato standing in the doorway. I push myself off the muri floor and walk towards him. 

“What are you doing here?” I question. 

“Your mom asked me to come to fetch you for dinner,” he explained. I hadn't noticed until now how empty my stomachache was. I set my hand on my stomach feeling its emptiness. 

“Well, let us go Kato” I grab his hand and say my goodbyes. 

~~~

I watch her walk away with that skxqwng. She knew what she was doing that woman drove me absolutely insane. As much as I hated her I loved her. All day she teased me pretending to not notice me or flirt with that skxqwng. I feel my teeth clench together and sharpen my knife more intensely. 

“Bro if you sharpen that knife anymore the blade will become useless.” Lo’ak teased “I can see you are  jealous of Kato. Just go to her skxgwng.” he complained

“If it were that easy Lo’ak. She's so busy being in love with the forest she barely has time for me,” I said feeling defeated. I lay flat on the floor and spread my limbs wide.

“My big bro killer of sky people is scared of a small girl” he laughs into his hands. “I overheard her father talking to dad about how he's going to announce he will be excepting courtings for his daughter. If that makes you feel any better.” my heart melts into my body. I can finally have a chance with her. I hop up into my feet. 

“Lo’ak comes, let's go to dinner.” I grab him by his hair dragging him. Not forgetting a small box holding a hand-crafted necklace.

~~~

I sit in front of the fire next to my father. On my other side is Kato. I finished my food a while ago, but mother said she had an announcement to make and wanted me to listen. I sat impatiently leaning my head on Kato’s shoulder. He tilts his head down to talk to me

“Your puppy is here.” he points to Netaym, practically dragging Lo’ak into the circle. He looks surprisingly happy, his braids swinging with every step. 

“He’s not my puppy” I laughed, shoving myself off his shoulder. I feel a vibration through the ground. I turn around and see a drummer getting everybody ready for my father's speech 

“The beloved people I have an announcement to make.” he shouts holding up a wooded cup of mead “I come before you to announce my daughter Kalin te ketsuktswa’ loran’ite will be available for a suiter. She has proven herself to the people now prove yourself to her,” he shouts as people cheer on drinking from his cup. I cannot believe them. I can't believe they would announce my availability to everybody and not consider even talking to me about it. As I'm sitting there is a wave of Na’vi men flocking to my father asking for his permission to pursue me. I look at them annoyed, they wouldn’t even see the light of day. 

“Did you know about this ma Kato?” I point at his chest not wanting to look him in the eyes. I feel nothing but rage. Why wouldn't he warm me? Did he not tell me to get his own advantage in pursuing my heart? I stand up and turn around quickly I hit a hard chest with my forehead. I step back thinking to myself “damn”. I look up and see Neteyam, you broke eye contact for just a second, but his left index finger lifted your chin up, making me meet his gaze again.

“Where you going my sweet girl?” he chuckles oh my Ewya I turned a bright red. 

“It is getting quite loud and I'm tired I was about to walk home” I blush looking to the right. He took my hand but someone else grabs my other.

“I was just about to walk her home,” Kato said through his teeth. His grip was tight. His face seems unbothered though. 

“Well, I got it from here buddy.” Neteyam passive aggressively said shoving the Na’vi in the chest with one hand. Neteyam then intertwines our fingers and starts walking into the forest where his personal muri hangs.

“Ma Neteyam this isn't the way to my muri,” I shout, he ignores me and continues to take me deeper into the forest. “Ma Neteyam why are you taking me to your muri?’ 

“Will you just come? I just want to hang out with you, if you do I’ll give you a reward sweet girl,” he shouts as he climbs the tree holding up his home. He makes it look so easy. I struggle to climb up the vines in such darkness. I got to the entrance and he holds out his hand that I gladly take. I walk past him into his spacious room. Neteyam watches my every move, licking his lips. 

“So what did you want to give me?” I questioned tilting my head and giving him softer eyes. I knew exactly what I was doing. I was going to drive him crazy. Now that I can be courted, lots of men want what's ‘his’. 

“I had kiri make you this” he hands me a beautifully crafted necklace. It was made from clear crystals with a deep blue hue. Never has anyone gifted me anything as beautiful as this.

“Ma Neteyam it is beautiful,” I say giving him the necklace back and turning around signaling him to put it on. I pull my hair to the side and he brings the necklace in front of me to clasp it. He brings his face closer to my neck. He grabs my waist from behind bringing me closer. I tilt my head back giving him more room to scent me.

“Im going to do some really bad things to you ma Neteyam,” I said gasping for air, it's all going to plan.

“Yeah? What are you gonna do to me sweet girl?” he chuckles into my ear. His voice vibrates into my ear and straight between my legs. 

“I'm going to drive you crazy ma Neteyam.” “Oh? But you already have my sweet girl” with that he leads me to his hammock. He lays down putting his hands behind his head. “Come sit.” he takes one hand to pat his hip. I get into the hammock straddling him. “Atta girl” he chuckles, suddenly feeling more heat within I lay flat on his chest wrapping my arms under his back. He pets my head till I inevitably fall asleep. 

~~~

I woke up before the sun had risen. Neteyams hands were wrapped around my waist tightly. I pry myself out of his grip. I turn around, saying goodbye with a kiss on the forehead not wanting to wake him. I make my way down the tree as I'm walking to the village I hear a twig snap. Startled I turn around, but I see nothing. Scared I run back into the village. “Ma Kalin where were you last night!? I was worried sick!” I look forward to seeing my mother. I walk closer so that she can hear me properly. “Umm…I was with Neteyam sa’un.” I say looking down at the forest floor not wanting to make eye contact. A fiery heat forms in my throat as she opens her would to say her next words. “Did anything happen my child?” she smirks 

“Ew, mom he's just a friend. I don't want to talk to you about this. Plus nothing happened, he just had a gift for me.” I place my hand on the beautiful necklace. She stands in front of me now examining it. “My child these stones are extremely rare I've seen nothing like these. Neteyam must be interested in you. He’ll make a fine mate my child.” 

“Sa’un can we not talk about this,” I whine dropping my shoulders. My mother always pressured me to find a mate. She told me ‘it is better to start early and have much history’ or whatever that means. “If we must my child. I was looking for you because Kiri calls for you.” she shoos me away in the direction of her muri. As I’m walking I hear heavier footsteps, I turn the face of the na’vi behind me. It's Kato, he looks tired and out of breath. “Why must you always be around me when you are unwanted ma Kato.” I sigh into my hands. “I was taking a walk with someone and see you leave Neteyams muri. Don't tell you mated with that guy ma Kalin.” he seemed genuinely concerned I expected him to be jealous. “I didn't mate with him ma Kato.” why is everybody asking me this oh my Eywa? I try to walk faster but he's always there. 

As I make it to the muri I hear kiri rummaging through some baskets. “Ma Kiri I’m home,” I yell extending my arms out for a hug. We hug and she grabs my shoulders looking into my eyes. “You’ve been somewhere deep into the forest.” she sniffs my hair and then moves to my hand “With my brother EW!” she rolls her eyes as she always does. “You know what happens when two na’vi are all alone in the forest” Lo’ak jokingly says getting out of his hammock. “What is it pick on Kalin day!?” I cry throwing my hands up in defeat. I lay down sprawled out on the floor feeling the vibrations of the forest. “Lo’ak come were going hunting.” I hear nonother then than Kato himself. Though he's not calling for me so I don't bother moving from my position. Everybody leaves including Kiri now I'm really left alone. My thoughts have become much too loud for my own liking. My eyes close and everything goes dark.

~~~

I woke up and she was gone. I secretly watch her walk out the door My heart yearns for her. I wish that she would just give in, I need her like the air I breathe. I needed a way to push her into my arms. I know she likes it when I chase, but I feel like we've been running to nowhere. With that, I jump out of my bed and start the fire to heat up my morning tea. I walk to the entrance of my muri I fetch fire but and startled to see a young Na’vi woman. It is Norlor, my ex-girlfriend. We broke up months ago so why was she here? 

“Ma Norlor what are you doing here you shouldn’t be here. Go leave now!” I shout pointing towards the forest. She ignores me and sits on a table by the fire. My mind starts to wonder why is she acting like this.

“Ma neteyam you look so handsome. Roumar has it that you're wanting to mate with Kalin. Is this true?” she asks tilting her head. 

“Yes, this is true what does it matter to you?” I question frustrated, she lifts herself off the table and walks closer to me. She stops inches away from my face.

“You're gonna help me get Kato.” she grabs my face. “He's paying too much attention to your little girlfriend and I want it to stop.” she spits fire from her mouth.

“Now what should I do that?” I say grabbing her arm and leading her to the doorway. I wanted her out if anybody saw me with her again it could spread. The last thing I want is for Kalin to hear I was with another girl after last night. 

“Just think about it Neteyam. I hear Kalin can be very jealous. We all know she's interested in you.” she shrugs knowing she was right “she just needs the right push. Come with us to hunt tonight. Flirt with me at dinner, complement the size to pray I catch, and give me slight innocent touches.” she says getting quiet and quieter as she climbs down the tree holding my muri. I go back inside pouring hot water into a wooden mug. This plan might actually work it's crazy of me to do, but anything for my girl. 

~~~

The sound of people singing and hooves woke me from my slumber. You shot up, bringing your knees to your chest, hugging them. I look around to find anybody but, nothing. I push myself up from where I lay for apparently many hours. I walk outside to find myself standing in the night sky. I thought about Neteyam and his bioluminescent freckles. I wonder where he is? I climb down from the tree and land on the soft grass. Making my way to the nightly feast the nose gets louder and louder. I search for kiri in the crowd of many na’vi. 

“Ma Kalin over here!” she says waving her hands in the air. A smile forms on my face as I make my way to her. I can feel many eyes of na’vi men looking at me some even point. 

“Why didn’t you wake me ma Kiri?” 

“You looked at peace.” she was right, a light reflecting off of something caught my eye. I turn my head to see Neteyam walking with his ex-girlfriend. My Neteyam walked with her laughing. The conversation was obviously very amusing because she slaps his chest with her hand. I knew what that meant I was also one who used that flirting tactic. She wanted what was mine. I was not about to let that happen. I stand up and walk over to Kato. he was sitting around other men telling stories about the hunting trip.

“Ma Kato will you come to sit by me?” it wasn't a question. The look that I gave him he knew. As I lend out a hand to help him up his friends speak.

“Go get it, Ma Kato”

“That's my boy”

“You better watch out for neteyam hell skin you alive.”

I bring him to where I was sitting though Kiri had run off somewhere, probably into the forest. 

“Is there a reason why you brought my over here little lady?” he chuckles placing his elbows on his knees. “Get your girl,” I say angrily pointing and Neteyam and his ex. “I'm with her right now, what are you talking about?” god he's so annoying.

I sigh and coldly say “Look Kato I’m going, to be honest with you we will never be. I don’t even want to mate with anybody, but if it's anyone it's him.” 

“I know but it was worth a try. Why do you think Neteyam is with her? That guy just wants everything I want.” 

“Go get her, tell her how you feel ma, Kato. Shell never know if you don't speak it into existence.” I should really take my own advice. These past few months Neteyam has not once left my mind. After last night how could I not be in love with him? He showed me the softness I so crave. Being a huntress most na’vi treat you very toughly. My thoughts are interrupted by Kato stomping over to Norlor. I watch him grab her wrist leading her to a pa’li. My attention is brought back to where the girl once sat. instead of his eyes, it’s Neteyams eyes that I meet. Still angry with him I glair. I point at him then and me lastly at the forest. I get up from where I sat and walked into the brush where we could be in privacy. Not long after Neteyam appears from out of the leaves. Before he can say anything I bring my palm up to his shoulder and shove him.

Then I snapped “Why were you with that girl ma Neteyam?” “I thought you guys broke up?” 

“She just wanted tips on hunting is that so wrong?” he was dodging my question, I don't have time for his crazy games. I walk past him making sure my shoulder bumps into him. Before I know it he grabs my arm and shoves my back into a tree. He has me trapped. My eyes don't dare to look into his eyes, but his right index finger lifted your chin up, making you meet his gaze.

“Is my sweet girl jealous?” he taunts 

“No! I'm just concerned for you Ma Neteyam. It's almost like you've gone crazy” I spit crossing my arms a little tiger than usual.

“Kalin cut the shit” he shouts “I've tried everything to get your attention what am I doing wrong?” he shouted maybe loud enough for other people to hear. I knew he didn't care Neteyam was a very passionate man. I gulped not wanting to use the wrong words. I knew I needed to tell the truth. 

“I'm scared Neteyam…” his eyes soften grabbing onto my cheeks “if we give a relationship a try what happens if it doesn't work out? Everything I care for changes. My friends, my family, and my forest will all be different.” I now cry. Neteyam now inching in even closer to me  “ oh Ma Kalin, you don't have to worry about that. That will never happen. Just give us a chance.” he smiles making my heart flutter. I look up into his amber eyes and grab his cheek pulling him closer to break the distance. I kiss was exchanged 

“Is this okay, sweet girl?” he kindly asks “yes.” all I say leading him to suck your lips nibbling just a bit, he places his arms around your hips and pulled you close.

“Take me back to your muri Ma Neteyam…” I whisper in his ear, although it was more of a moan.

If I ever went missing look near the river.

“Look at this stone ma Tamìfa,” Nang said excitedly. He handed me I yellow stone. This was perfect for Neteyam’s necklace. I've always been a good craftsman. My friends and I would make breast covers for many women in the village. My mother taught me everything I know. She was one of the best beaders in the whole village. I'm so grateful that she was able to teach me beading before the great-mother claimed her back with my father.

“This is perfect. Thank you so much for helping me Nang. Neteyam has been so stressed with the training I know this will cheer him up.” I thanked him. Neteyam and I have dated for many months now. We swore to each other before ewya. Though it is not the same as being mated, it's basically the same. We are a mated pair.

“Let's go back to the village. It's almost eclipse and we’ve been out here since morning. Neteyam must be back from training. You should be there to greet him back. I wonder what the hunter has brought back for the feast?” Nang said grabbing my wrist and leading me back to the village. 

“I know the way you skxqwng.”

“Last year we lead a whole search party for you. You were so deep into the woods it took hours to find you.” Nang scolded. I knew where I was going… “And don't even say you knew where you were going. We all know that's a damn lie.” he chuckled wrapping my arm around my shoulder and pulling me in as we walked into the village. We made it just in time. I see Neteyam jumping off his Ikran. Our eyes meet, but he seems angry. I walk towards him trying to hold my posture. 

“ Ma Neteyam I’m glad you're back safe. You must be hungry please come let us go eat.” I say trying to wipe his scowl off his face. I wonder if today wasn't a successful training day. On days like this, he's usually happier once we've eaten. So I take his hand to lead him to where everybody eats.

“Not tonight Ma Tamìfa. I'm not hungry.” he walks away from me. He takes long strides away from me. My lightly smaller legs cannot keep up as well. “Ma Neteyam please come. You need to take care of your body. After we should go to the hot springs. I feel like we haven't had alone time in ages. Please Ma neteyam.” I say out of breath from him walking away. We are now at his muri.

"Just walk go away, please. I want to be alone. I've had a long day of men yelling at me during training. The last thing I want right now is your nagging.” my heart slits as I watch his throwing his hand in the air out of frustration. My neck feels hot and my eyes burn. I don't dare to cry. Crying will not help. Maybe I just need to give him space.

“I’m sorry I bothered you. I will see myself out now. Goodnight ma Neteyam.” I turn on my heels and walk back to dinner. I look down at my feet tears threatening my eyes. 

~~~

“Maitan you dare speak to your future mate like that. She did not deserve such.” Neteyams mother said fiercely. He knew she was right, but anger get to the best of us. The real reason on why he's mad is because you've been spending so much time with Nang. Nang was a couple of years older than Neteyam. He's more experienced with the way of life. That made Neteyam very jealous. Neteyam tends to overthink a lot, consequence of having three younger siblings.

“Sa’nu please I just want some rest. I've had a very long day.” 

“ Maitan im only concerned for you itan.Tamìfa is a sweet girl. You shouldn't lose your temper with her.” Netiriy softly said trying to calm him. She handed him a bowl of stew. Out of every meal created by the Na’vi people Hexapede stew was his favorite. He took one sip of it and melted. He quickly slurped up the stew and then headed to his hammock.

~~~

It's now dawn and I'm dreading getting out of this hammock. Last night I could not eat due to anxiety. It was a warm morning I could hear the creatures of pandora chirping as they got up to live their lives. My eyes start to feel heavy and I think to myself it wouldn't hurt to sleep in a little longer. My eyes shut and I start to dream.

I was having the most wonderful dream. Neteyam and I were flying our Ikran out in the night sky. I often have this dream, it is one of my favorites. The sight of him makes my heart swell knowing we will be mated for life. I can't help thinking about having many children. I want to have a family of my own someday. From time to time I think of names for our children. Neteyam has always promised me this for our future, but my dream comes to an end. I'm awoken by the Ikran screeching goodbye to the clan. I hop out of my hammock feeling the warm sunlight laying on my muri floor. I think to myself “I should start Neteyam’s necklace.” grabbing all my beads, string, and needle made of fish bones gifted by my mother.

Hours later of beading and weaving I've now created this beautiful necklace for my Neteyam. I look at it with great pride. I really do hope he likes it. My heart would break into a million pieces if he didn't. My thoughts are interrupted by the creaking of my muri flood. It's Nang he greets me as I do the same.

“Ma Nang you nearly sent me to Eywa herself.” I hold my heart out of fear.

“I'm just checking up on you Ma Tamìfa. Last night you didn't eat so I had my mother make you some roasted Teylu. I know it's not your favorite, but you must eat breakfast. From what I've learned the sky people say it's the most important meal of the day. That is probably the only thing ill agree on with them.” he chuckles 

“That is right,” I say rubbing the back of my neck out of discomfort. Nang quickly realizes. “That is bothering your neck ma Tamìfa?” he questions. “I spent all morning making Neteyam a necklace. I spent hours looking down now my neck is in so much pain.” I said sadly not knowing what to do. Maybe I should go see a practicing healer. I'm not in need of a matured healer. “We should go to the hot sprint. Come put on your bathing clothes.” Nang says persistently. He leaves my muri waiting outside to leave me to change. I get up from my seat and head towards my woven basket holding my garments. I decide to wear a newly woven set. It is covered in all shades of green and brown beads. Feathers hang off of the rectangular breast cover. As for my loincloth, it's dyed with dark green berry leaves. I attach my song cord to it and head out the door.

I meet Nang outside and start walking toward the spring. “Let us go find others to come!” I said excitingly clap my hands together. “That sound like the perfect idea ma Tamìfa.” Nang says patting the top of my head. We walk over to the Sullys hut. Before we can enter Nang and I hear arguing. We both turn our heads to face each other. “What did we just walk into.” we both say entering the muri.

“Tuk please maywe.!”kiri shouts 

“No! I want to go to the hot springs right now!” she squeaks 

“Tuk you have to eat first then we can you. Now please stop being a brat and eat. You'll never is a mighty warrior like mom. you can't even eat breakfast.” Lo’ak cried out of annoyance bringing his hand to cover his face. “Tuktiry listen to your siblings. Nang and I actually came over to ask you guys if you wanted to go to the hot spring. Now if you eat we will fly the Ikrans there.” I say in a motherly voice. Talking to Tuk like this makes me want to be a mother even more even when Tuks having a meltdown. While Lo’ak and Nang prepare Tuks meal I asked kiri to take out my braids. Now my hair flows freely with a couple of braids holding beads. “Do you want these feathers Neteyam found for me? I think they will suit you way better,” she asks in her very calming voice. My breath hitches at the thought of Neteyam. Kiri quickly notices. “What is wrong?” she says putting feathers behind my ears and attaching them to my braids. “It is not a big deal really. It's Neteyam He just got upset with me yesterday after coming back home from training.” I sigh “I'm sorry my brothers can be such asses sometimes. I'm sure he'll come around soon. After Tuk ate we left on our Ikrans heading towards the hot springs. Passing by unnoticed by the rest of us Neteyam and his training friends pass under us. 

~~~

Neteyam unmounts his Ikran and sits down bringing his hands to his face. Neteyams ears perk up to hear a conversation behind him 

“Did you see Tamìfa? She was with Nang again.” 

“She's been hanging out with him a lot maybe she's interested in a more mature man.”

“She was wearing a really nice outfit. Maybe she's trying to swoon him.”

Neteyam hated gossip but since it was about his soon-to-be mate he couldn't help being jealous. The truth is he’s been super jealous of Nang. Tamìfa and Nang have been friends before she even met Neteyam, But his anxiety gets the best of him. He tightly grips his bow and walks over to his Ikran to go fly to the hot spring. He knew you'd be there because he overheard Tuk asking Kiri this morning.

~~~

We got to the hot spring and immediately jumped in. now soaked I find a stop next to Nang. “I really wish Neteyam was here. We barely get to spend time with each other these days” I say saddened by his presence not being around. “Don't worry hell come around” Nang comforts me putting his arm around my shoulder to bring me into a hug. I wish it was Neteyam giving me a hug. We pull away from each other and he swims away probably to go talk to Lo’ak. My ears twitch back hearing a branch break. I look back to see Neteyam, my Neteyam. 

“Neteyam what are you doing here I thought you had training?”

“I got off early.”

“Do you want to hang out with us? I feel like we haven’t hung out in weeks. Come in the water it's nice and warm it will relax your muscles. I have a gift for you. I say excitingly pulling his necklace out. Im soon interrupted by his words.

“Why are you always hanging out with Nang these days ma Tamìfa? Every time you're around he follows like he's lost,” he questions me. We've never really had a problem like this before. He seems to be really upset with me. That is the last thing I want right now.

“Nang? He’s one of my longest friends ma Neteyam.”

“Friends don't hug as much as he does.”

“You're being unreasonable ma Neteyam. He keeps me company when you're away. These past few months you've barely paid any attention to me.” 

“You know what I'm just gonna leave. Nang can have you. Since he has so much time for you.” I didn't want him to go. What did he mean Nang could have me? Nang already has a mate. They mated a few months ago.

“Ma Neteyam please don’t go. I want you.” I cry tears now burning my skin falling down my face. What did I do wrong? I thought I was doing everything right. I made sure he ate, healed his wounds, and gave him nothing but support. Now he's leaving me. I watch him walk away ignoring my last words. My heart is broken into a million pieces. What will I do now?

~~~

It's been two weeks yet I have not left my muri. My heart is giving out I can feel it in my stomach. My skin is dull and my body is thinner. I haven't eaten a proper meal in days. How can I eat when the love of my life has left me? Kiri, Lo’ak, and Nang all try to visit me but I do not answer. I wish for Eywa to call upon my return. I lay in my hammock just as I have for a week but this time it's different Kiri burst into my room yelling for me.

“Tamìfa awaken now. I will not let you rot away over my ridiculously stupid brother. Come summer is in full bloom it's perfect to swim in the river. Everybody is there partying. “Everybody?” I question. “Yes he's there but, that doesn't matter.” 

“Kiri I can’t let him see me like this I look a mess.”

“How about I do your hair in nice braids and you put a cute outfit on? Will that make you feel better. ?” kiri said about to say more but was interrupted by a male Na’vi walking into my muri. I only saw his shadow at first. I hoped it was Neteyam, but I’m soon let down. It's just Nang checking up on me. ‘I saw your curtain was open. Are you feeling any better?” he coos in a worried tone.” “Everybody is down at the river. You should come, get some sun on your skin. I'm meeting Ekong there. Ekong is his mate.

“See we all want you to go now sit down so I can do your hair. Namg go pick he out an outfit.’ kiri directs like a war leader.

~~~ 

I hop off my Ikran feeling so uncomfortable. My hair is in a style that not many Ometicya women were here it's more of a Metkyina style hair with a braid on top and loose flowing hair in the back. Not to mention Nang picked out an outfit I'd never worn before due to the fact it was quite small. I feel like they all want Neteyam to regret what he did. I walk passed the brush leading the way to the lake I hear Na’vi and music being played. Nang leaves us to go swimming with his mate. Now it's just me and Kiri. I look over to my left but she's gone. She’s probably bonging with the creatures of the forest. Feeling awkward I find myself sitting on a rock at the edge of the lake dipping my feet into the water. I feel multiple eyes on my back trying to not think about it I look forward. Clear a day I see neteyam surrounded by young Na’vi women. Our eyes meet but a look down at my feet quickly not wanting to look at him a second more.

~~~

Neteyams heart could burst out of his chest seeing you. You looked like a goddess. He's spent his entire training break all alone. He wishes he could say sorry and take it all back but he didn't have the guts. His whole family is disappointed in him. Today these Na’vi girls just wouldn't leave his side. If Neteyam went swimming they did or if he went to look for pebbles so did they. He couldn't keep them away

“Oh look who showed up.” an unknown Na’vi girl said.

“She looks so sexy and I don't think were the only ones who noticed.” one of them giggles pointing at the Na’vi men sitting a distance behind her. Neteyam couldn't help but feel rage. He knew it was wrong because he was the one who hurt you. He watched the men walk toward you and sit next to you his eyes filled with rage. The girls quickly noticed 

“Don't worry about her Neteyam you guys were just a fling.” one other girl said.

“Plus she has Nang.”

“Not all the time. Nang mated to Ekong months ago when the men were off.” 

right there and then Neteyam felt like such a fool. You told him he had nothing to worry about anything between you and Nang, but he was filled with so much envy it clouded his mind. He knew he needed to do something about these boys. He stood up harshly knocking one of the girls off her feet.

~~~

It was as if my stomach was hollow. The men walked up to me and started bomb barding me with questions. I couldn't keep up with all of them.

“So you a Neteyam are really over huh?”

“Come swim with us, sweetheart.”

“We can treat you better than he ever did.” little did they know Neteyam could hear everything. You looked right passed the men into his golden eyes. They noticed and turned around terrified. “Oh hey Neteyam didn't see you there.” one of them said scratching the back of their neck trying to keep calm. “Back off. Now.” was all Neteyam said. Why was he mad? He was the one who broke up with me. Though this really made my heart throb. I feel guilty for still loving him. He's probably been such a player after our breakup. My heart splits just thinking about him even talking to other girls.    

“Why should I? You're the one who broke up with her. You obviously don't know a good woman when they're sitting right in front of you.” that threw Neteyam off the edge before I knew it Neteyam punch the guy right in his jaw. “Ma Neteyam! What are you doing? You can't just go punching people for speaking truth.” I scream but am quickly cut off by him grabbing my wrist. He pulls me deep into the first unseen but nobody but Ewya herself.  

“Ma Neteyam let go of me. Im not yours anymore.” I cry

“I know I'm sorry but please listen for just a moment Ma Tamìfa,” he said grabbing my shoulders “I'm so sorry I'm such a fool. I should have listened to you. I should have never left you all alone. I'm a fool I didn't treat you how you deserved and now I'm paying for my sins. I hate seeing other guys think they can have you. I hate the thought of being with anybody else besides you Ma Tamìfa. I know I'm such an ass for treating you so coldly during my training. I should have seen the beautiful woman right in front of me.” he said all in one breath. I don't know what to say. This is everything I could ever want. My heart fills with joy. What do I do? He looks into my eyes dropping to his knees. He tightly grasped my legs crying. Seeing him like this broke me. I need to lift this pain holding him down on his knees.

“Ma Neteyam please get up.”

“Not until you say it! Say you'll take me back. Please I’ll do anything.” he sobs. He's getting too overwhelmed. He thinks the worst is about to happen. I sit down on the floor touching our heads. “I want you to Ma Neteyam.” those words almost didn't register in his mind. He looked up at me in disbelief. “Ma Neteyam I need you my life has no beginning without you,” 

In that very moment, we grab each other's faces and our lips connect as one. I feel butterflies in my stomach as if it were our first kiss.

“Ma Neteyam I have i gift for you.”

“ my sweet I do not deserve such things,” he said wiping my tears                                                                                                                      

“ it was meant for the day we went to the hot springs.”

“The day we broke up…”

“Yes, but that doesn't matter anymore here my love.” I pulled the hand-beaded necklace out of my bag. I softly placed it into his hands. “My sweet did you make all of this? It's beautiful.” he rushes to put it on. When it's on his skin glows as the sun reflects off the iridescent beads. My heart is jumping out of my chest seeing him finally wear it. 

~~~

We dove into the river as one. He grabbed my waist pulling me into a kiss once again. I thanked Eywa for bringing this man back into my life once again. “Everybody is watching Ma Neteyam.” “let them. Let every Na’vi in this clan that you're mine. For as long as the stars come out in the night sky I will never let you go my sweet.” his eyes soften looking into my eyes. “Become my mate officially Ma Tamìfa. Let's have the ceremony after my dream hunt.” I could not speak. I've waited for those words all my life. I waited for him to ask again as soon as we made up. “Yes of course Ma Neteyam.” I joyfully scream wrapping my arms around his muscular neck. We bring our heads together.

“Oel ngati kameie Ma Tamìfa”

My whole life ive been in love with Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan

I woke up in my muri. It was a very rainy night, my favorite type of weather. I jumped out of my hammock and tiptoed to the opening but as I got to the very edge, my mother stopped me

“Anibyea ‘Efu ‘Ong'ite, turn around and eat before you go out,” she said with fury in her voice. My mother was rigorous when it came to taking care of my body. In her Tawkami culture, it is very valued to take care of our health.

“Sa’un I’m not hungry” I whined like a child stomping my feet and dropping my shoulders.

“Ewya has blessed you with this beautiful body, Anibyea.” yeah ‘beautiful’ who was she kidding 

“Fine I will eat but if the a’o nectar is gone it is your fault” I huffed

“ Patience, my child. The nectar will still be there I promise. Come sit down and eat, I made utu mauti stew.” she knew it was my favorite. I could not turn it down. It reminded me of my father. He died in the great war against the sky people he was Olo eyktan of the Tawkami clan. With no sons to pass it on to my mother stayed here and birthed me right in this forest. 

“Yes, Sa’un” I walked to the small table in defeat. I sat down and brought the spoon to my mouth, Pure bliss. The warmth and tanginess were something unimaginable. Nothing beats a mother's meal. From what I'm told she was her clan's best cook. She knew every plant and herb Eywa has planted on this planet. She is even the clans cook.

“See isn't it delectable my child?” my mother said as I held up the bowl to my lips trying to slurp up the bits of utu mauti.

“Yes, Sa’un it's so good. You should tea-” I was interrupted by someone crashing into my muri.

“Anibyea it rained last night we have to harvest a’o nectar” kiri shouted very excitedly “ oh my apologies ‘Ong Oel ngati kameie.” she said gracefully  “Anibyea come let us go before Lo’ak slurps it all up,” she said out of breath as if she didn't just very properly to my mother.

“ Sa’un may I go now?” I pouted at tilted my head as if I was a  pulukan pup.

“I suppose my child be safe and be home by eclipse,” she said very sternly throwing me my herb pouch. She knew I wouldn't be home by eclipses but as long as I came home in one piece.

I skipped my way over to kiri putting my hand on her shoulder and guiding her to turn around and walk toward the forest. We look at each other and smiled deviously. Then ran as fast as we could. Feeling the soil under my toes and the wind strike my face. Minutes go by and I'm still ahead of kiri, but I feel that she's catching up. I turn to look back at Kiri. a big mistake I just made. I ran straight into a tall Navi man making us both tumble and fall. 

“ oh my Eyaw I’m so sorry.” I say trying to pick myself up. I look up and see Neteyam Sully, my childhood crush since birth practically. Our eyes meet again I slip again face planting straight into his chest.

“ damn Anibyea I knew you were into my brother but I didn't think you'd hunt him usually that’s the man's job” Lo’ak laughed referring to this old Navi tradition where men hunt their soon-to-be mates. 

“ shut your skxqwng ass up Lo’ak.” he said shoving me off of him straight into the muddy soil right next to us accidentally of course. Neteyam was cold but would never hurt me. I have gotten used to this cold treatment as we grew into young adults. Kiri came running to my side and lent me a hand. 

“We probably shouldn't have run it is still slippery from the rain last night.” kiri said scratching the back of her head out of guilt.

“ yeah Kiri what were you thinking? Now I'm all wet and probably have a broken rib” Neteyam said angrily rubbing his rib trying to soothe the pain. Was I really that heavy?

“Here let me help.” I grab my pouch to pull out my herbs.” 

“No it's fine you've done enough,” Neyetam said coldly and walked away into the direction of the a’o plants.

“Don't mind him Anibyea. He's just mad because mom and dad are pressuring him to find a mate.” my heart sank straight into my stomach. I almost forgot we were at that age now, time goes by so fast.

“Yeah, he's been like this all week. Honestly, it’s the girls that are the most annoying. They are always dropping off gift baskets trying to swoon him.” Kiri said rolling her eyes as she always does. I give a weak but passing smile.

“ what do you mean the baskets are the best part I hope he's like this for a while. The sweets they bring are delicious.” Lo’ak says as he extends his hand out placing him on his head 

We all walk to the a’o plant meeting Neteyam there. He’s drinking out of one of the plants. Oh my Ewya he's handsome. I watch him carefully grab the plant with his hand and drink it to his lips. Oh, how I wished it was me instead of the plant. He stops drinking and our eyes meet I immediately look down at my feet blushing.

Kiri put her hand on my shoulder and looked at me “ Lo’ak and I are going to look for stones for Tuk. shes caught a cold last night and I think some shiny rocks would cheer her up. She was upset she wasn't allowed to come with us, she cried at the doorway in moms arms.” she handed me three water carriers. “Go fill these up with Neteyam, for dinner with the clan tonight.” she winked and grabbed Lo’aks wrist, and walked towards the stream nearby. She’s known about my crush on Neteyam for years. She always tries to help out. 

I walk towards Neteyam with butterflies in my stomach he still facing the a’o plants. I place my hand on his back to get his attention. 

“Kiri wants us to fill these up for the feast tonight. Care to help?” I asked kindly

“Sure,” he says taking one water carrier off my shoulder. we don't talk for a couple of minutes pouring the nectar into the carrier. So I try to break the silence. 

“ so I hear it's time for you to start looking for a mate.” I say 

“ no my parents want me to look for one, but none of the women from here don't spark any interest at all. I have to pick the woman I mate with very carefully she will be the next tsahik. I need a woman to care for my people, and rule by my side with care and compassion. And I don't really see a woman like that here in this clan who would want me.” he said frustrated as he poured the nectar into the carrier. My heart clenches. How could I ever think Neteyam son of mighty warriors would ever be interested in me? I was stupid for ever thinking that. I go silent and my mind starts to think. Should I move on? Have I held his name too close to my heart? 

“There are many women in this clan I'm sure you’ll find the one,” I said, but why Anibyea? Why would you say that? You're supposed to persuade him to take interest in you.

“It's funny our mother used to talk about us being future mates.” he laughs bringing his hand to his lips to cover his smile. He didn't need to cover it his smile was beautiful. 

“I remember when we would actually get along.” I laughed feeling a bit awkward trying to pour nectar into my two carries and they were getting a little too heavy. I slipped and almost fell as both were very full now.

“Here let me,” Neteyam said as he walked over to me. And our eyes meet I start blushing, but don't look away. I examine his face. His big yellow eyes and pouty lips but my favorite part is his jawline. It felt like minutes passed by. But my gazing was interrupted by his deep soothing voice. 

“Do I have something on my face?”

“No, I'm just looking. You've grown so much”

“You've grown to you know. You're blossoming,”

“Me!? How? There is nothing special about me I’m just plain old me I look no different from what I did years ago teyam.” it's been so long since I'd called him that. 

“You've grown a lot trust me Byea.” he hasn't called me that in years. My heart flutters and all of a sudden I’m in love with him all over again.

“ come let's go find Kiri and Lo’ak. We should probably wash off in the waterfall we are still very muddy.” I laugh and grab his wrist leading him to the waterfall.

We catch up to kiri and Lo’ak arguing 

“Kiri it's MY stone to give to Tuk,” Lo’ak says very loudly

“You just want it because you know she's mad at you for saying pink Ikrans don't exist!” 

“ children mawey,” I said in a mothering voice. The sully children seemed to fight over almost anything. It's gotten better as we’ve grown older. Neteyam and I are usually the ones to be fighting these days. It's always something stupid like, how to hold a bow correctly, what animal is the fastest in the forest, or even this one time what fruit tasted better. That argument lasted for days. 

“I'm going to wash off this mud under the waterfall. You guys quit fighting it's giving me a headache.” Neteyam said annoyed. He walked behind tall leave where the waterfall stood. His back was so muscular. His shoulders were so broad I could look at him all day. 

“Anibyea go wash off as well. Your mother will kill you if she sees how dirty you got.” Kiri winked at me again. She really wants to be sisters I see. I threw my pouch at where they knelt down looking at stones. 

“Don't take too long we have to be back home soon,” Lo’ak said still looking for stones

“Since when have you followed rules Lo’ak?” I jokingly chuckled crossing my arms.

“Just go shower,” he scowled and stuck his tongue out at me as if he were a child.

I turn around on my heels and started walking toward the waterfall. As I walk I push leaves out of my face and avoid sticker vines. I hear a squeaking voice from that waterfall. That couldn't possibly be Neteyam. I stand still looking threw that leaves unnoticed by anyone. I prayed to eywa that my eyes were deceiving me. It was Neteyam with a girl. Not just any girl, my childhood bully. Yora’tu. She made my childhood hell. She knew everything I hated about myself. She used to make fun of my skin a lot. Before I started using herbs on my face I had bad acne. She used to tell everybody it was contagious. The other young Navi stopped hanging out with me after that. I can't believe he's hanging out with her. 

“Teyam teach me how to fish pleases” she elongated the please in a whiney voice.

“Soon, I have many things on my mind,” he said focusing on washing mud out of his braids. He didn't say no to her. My mind went everywhere. Were they dating? Is this why he's become colder to me? Why her out off all Navi? I purposely step on a twig to make it known I was entering the waterfall.” 

“Hey, Neteyam we have to go soon. Make it quick I want the fall now,” I said looking past my shoulder as if something caught my eye. Nothing did Id seen everything.

“Yeah, you can have it now I'm done.” 

“Ooh hey, Anibyea didn't know you were here,” Yora’tu said in a slightly annoyed voice. I knew she was infuriated that I interrupted them. She could take everything away from but Neteyam as children. Shed always asked him to play with her but, Neteyam and I couldn't be apart from each other ever.

“Teyam let's go. The water is gonna get really dirty and I just braided my hair,” she said urgently grabbing his wrist and pulling him out from under the waterfall. I thought maybe he'd say no. he didn't and went with her back to the village. I stood under the waterfall watching them get on her Ikran that was quietly drinking water. They flew off faster than normal. If my heart weren't hurting enough. My physical body was in excruciating pain. I slipped and fell from the wind created by Yora’tu’s Ikran. I lay on the rock, touching my head. Red plagued my hand. Then, black.

My eyes are barely open. Someone is carrying me on their back. Why are they running it hurt my head? My head is resetting on their back I open my eyes its Lo’ak. I see kiri by his side trying to keep up. Lo’ak notices my half-open eyes. 

“Don't worry we got you,” he says out of breath “we’re almost to the village.” Then black again. 

It felt like hours had gone by. My head feels like I headbutted an ‘Anstìk. I hear a distant conversation. I wish it didn't it's making my head hurt even worse. I couldn't pick up much of what they were saying. In sound echoey. 

“What were you thinking Neteyam?” I think the voice belonged to Jake Sully. 

“I'm sorry sir, but how is this my fault?” I knew that voice from anywhere. It was Neteyams voice I heard. “You're the oldest you're supposed to watch them.” jakes voice echoes through the room. I'm not a child. Though the thought of Neteyam watching over me being protective making sure I didn't hurt myself on the slippery rocks made my heart swell. Even when I'm injured I still think of him. I’m so deeply in love Ewya this is annoying. I finally get the strength to open my eyes. My hand hits the woven matt of the muri and I push myself up with all the strength Eywa has provided me with. 

“What's going on?” I say softly due to the excruciating headache. I go to touch my head, but I feel cloth has been tightly tied around it. I feel a small child run up to me squeezing my arm.

“You fell and hit your head child. You must lay and rest you hit your head very hard.” our Tsahik Mo’at says confidently. She knew what she was doing who was I not to abide by her commands? I feel Tuktirey try and nuzzle into my arm. So very painfully I lift up my arm to let her in.

“Tuk leave her be. She needs to heal.” kiri scolded Tuk. usually, Kiri is very patient with Tuk. she must be very overwhelmed with how she found me. “I’m sorry everybody I did not wish to worry everybody.” I apologized with deep guilt. Mother is going to be so upset with me. I just earned on going into the forest alone.“You are not at fault here byea, nobody is. Now everybody out, please get some rest you need time to heal.” Mo’at shouted shooing people with her hands before she closed the muri curtain closed. Now I'm left here all alone just me and my thoughts.

It's been hours since I've been staring at the roof of my muri. I study the intricate designs woven into the walls. My eyes feel heavy and my mind is clear. Just as I was about to fall asleep a crashing noise of someone falling into my muri. My ears bend all the back and I'm on my feet. I turn around and grab my father's bow displayed on the wall. My fingers tremble with fear pulling an arrow out and positioning to shoot “one step closer and an arrow goes straight into your head.” I scream trying not to show fear. The truth is I'm a terrible shot. Years of practice and training yet I miss my target every time. The figure steps closer putting their hands up. Scared I take a big breath and aim tighter, hissing bearing my teeth.

“You couldn't hit me if your life depended on it Byea.” Neteyam chuckled. Why is he here in my muri at this hour? The last person I want to see right now. I pull back my bow looking down at my feet. 

“Why are you here Neteyam?”

“ what cant check up on you now?” he said annoyed. I turn my back placing my father's bow back on the mantel. I place my elbow on the wall and bring my other hand to cover my eyes.  “Answer my question Neteyam!” I yell turning around to face him. “I came because I left my riding visor. What's got you in a mood.” Eywa he gets on my nerves. The sad thing is that I still love him. 

“Nothing take your visor and leave. Maybe you should pay Yora’tu a visit. I place my hands on my hips. He makes me so angry lately.

“Why should I? Are you jealous or something? Seeing your childhood best friend moving on with his life.” he snarled at me. Of course, I'm jealous. My whole life I've had this distant dream of Neteyam and I being mated for life. I'm not jealous of him growing up, I'm jealous of the fact it wasn't me he even considered to mate with. I've felt these feelings for him my whole life and not once these past few years has he shown any signs of interest. I'm so over these feelings I'm so tired of thinking about what if’s. Then before I know words come out of my mouth without thinking.

“Yes of course I'm jealous not of your growth but of Yora’tu. You chose her over me. We have been by each other's sides since birth Neteyam! Every day I wake up and think of you. every time I sleep at night I dream of us. I dream of us having a family. I cannot help these feelings but now that I know you have someone else in mind I will stop.” I cry with tears in my eyes. I was in shock not knowing what I had just done. So was Neyeam his smirk dropped and he walked closer to me. He grabbed my hands. This is it he's gonna tell me he doesn't feel the same and that he never has. I hope he does so gently. My heart can take no more pain.

“Why are you saying this now ma Anibyea?” he says ever so gently. I feel as if I'm too late. He's invested in another. I open my mouth, but I speak nothing. He holds my face with his warm rough hands. 

“I wish you would have said something earlier Byea. for many years I've watched you grow into a beautiful woman. You care for our people and the forest, that is something I value in a woman. You have shown that your whole life. For these past few months, I've been so angry. I was angry because I thought I was not worthy of a woman such as you. I don't want Yora’tu. I want you Anibyea. I'm so sorry you carried this burden for so long.” he said ever so softly. I feel like Eywa has answered my prayers. Everything I ever wanted is happening right now at this very moment. Without thinking our faces grow closer. I feel his breath against my lips. Our lips connect, and my lips burn with passion. I could kiss him forever but all good things must come to an end. We disconnect for air. Looking into each other's eyes.

Summary: for so long, you and Neteyam’s relationship had been pure teenage fever—running off alone while his parents weren’t around, sneaking into his pod, and enjoying each other’s company in private. But he was a man now, and was expected to procreate sooner or later. The two of you had been putting off this topic for so long, but neither of you knew why. Until one day, you realize you could lose him, and it all becomes so very clear to you.

I don’t have a word count but it’s long, I got carried away ㋛

It had been almost an hour and Neteyam still hadn’t been back from speaking with his mother. You weren’t worried, but you definitely thought an hour was far too long without your knowledge. His last words still echoed through your head and you couldn’t deny the tingling feeling between your legs, groaning as you dug your face into the netting under you.

You were getting frustrated, you could still feel his heat radiating yours, the feeling almost unbearable. His scent stuck to your hammock like glue and it made you smile, closing your eyes with your head against it. Neteyam was definitely in heat, or entering it—because when one mate enters heat, the other feels it and enters it as well, joining the same emotions their love felt in that moment.

And you were correct—because after about 20 minutes of speaking to his mother, he found his body crying for you, practically begging him to go back to your shared pod. Neytiri needed to talk to him, and he was going to listen in fear of his father finding out he didn’t.

Your sweet flowery, forest scent filled his nose just standing there—and that’s when he knew he had to leave. You were nowhere close to him, and he smelled you like you were right under him.

“Neteyam? Are you listening, son” Neytiri snaps her fingers and his eyes meet hers almost immediately, nodding his head at her question. “What is wrong?” The boy shook his head, waving his mother off as he sat down in hopes to hide the fact his loincloth had been getting tighter by the second.

“I need to bathe, mother. Is that all you needed help with?” She nodded her head and dismissed her son, watching him leave the family’s pod.

He went as fast as he could to get to you, worried someone would see what he had been going through right now. Your scent filled his nose even more as he got closer, breathing it all the way like it could’ve been in his lungs.

He finally entered your shared pod, seeing you had been sleeping peacefully on the hammock. He felt bad for waking you, but he knew if this didn’t happen now, he’d be hurting for the rest of the night.

Except you weren’t sleeping—only squeezing your eyes shut in hopes to fall asleep so your arousal would ease up. The sound of him walking into the pod had made your ears twitch and you immediately sat up, eyes on the boy in front of you who already had the same idea as you.

“I cannot believe your entering heat right now” you were still so angry at him for earlier, but it was so much harder now that you had this unbelievable feeling toward him.

He pulls you to him with desire, lifting you up into his arms as you wrapped yours around his neck. You could feel his stiffening cock against your core, his loincloth doing no good as a barrier between you two. You whined at the feeling, dipping your head down to kiss his lips. You thank Eywa your pod had been secluded from the others—they would have definitely heard you.

“Teyam, it hurts” He shushes you, laying you back on the hammock as he followed, hovering over your small body. Your heat had always been more painful then his for some odd reason, and it always made him feel bad when it was him who started it.

“I know, Pretty girl. You’ll get it” You continue to squirm in his hold while his hand travels your body, head dipping down to kiss your neck. His scent now so much stronger, you can feet heat bloom in your chest, and it fills your nose without any remorse. The need for more suddenly became unbearable as his hand worked to remove your loincloth, his tongue tracing along your neck. You needed him, and you didn’t know if you could wait any longer.

“Nete… now” You begged but he ignored your voice, throwing your loincloth to the other side of the room. His fingers ghost over your already soaked core, and you moan at his touch. Eywa, she is going to be the death of me the boy thought as he watches your face twist, your eyes shut and your head back.

“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?” He bites down gently on the lobe of your ear, his finger slipping between your wet folds. You whimper softly, spreading your legs further for the boy above you. “Your dripping all over my hand” He notes, amused at the sight. You and Neteyam had shared many sexual endeavors, but this was so much more. This was your first time going into heat together.

“Your the worst” you cried out making him chuckle, untying your very loose chest piece from your body. He was taunting you—his fingers still not daring to enter you as he rubbed circles against your clit.

“Really? My soaked hand says otherwise” He cursed under his breath at the tightening cloth covering him, a sudden wave of pleasure washing to him. “S-shit” You smirked, watching your mate crumble in your hands, looking down at where you had been.

“Not so funny now, is it?” You asked, stroking his large size in your hands. His ears fall back against his head, the tips of his ears burning with intense heat as he whimpers under his breath, making you bite your lip. If there was one thing you loved, it was the noises he made. The thought of everyone seeing him as a hard headed warrior, but you saw him. This fact alone, that nobody could do this to him but you, and it made your heart flutter.

He leaned down and connected your soft lips to his, in attempt to silence his sweet noises that had been music to your ears. “Ma’Tìyawn… if you keep doing this, I won’t last” (My love) he admits, His lips brushing your own softly and delicately, just long enough so you could inhale his breath, feel the warmth of his skin, and taste his lips. You swear he had been begging, but you ignore him, wanting him to get the same treatment he had been giving you.

“I’m still mad at you” His tail brushes up against yours, and his hand traveled down your spine, touching your soft hair. He started to place small kisses everywhere he could—trailing from your neck, to your shoulders, and to the ends of your finger tips. His tongue teases the side of your neck, reaching your sweet spot under your ear.

"Let me make it up to you, Yeah?" He pulled you back into a kiss, stilling there for a second before pulling the slightest bit away. "Are you okay with that, Syulang?" (Flower) You nod your head, your body moving itself against his hand, yearning for some type of friction. “Don’t be so needy, baby. I’ll get you there, you know I will”

“I can’t… Nete, please” you plead with your mate, nails scratching down his newly patched up back. You couldn’t help yourself, this feeling was such a curse. He pulled his head from your neck and pressed a small kiss to your lips, trailing them down your naked body until he got to your lower stomach.

An invisible line tugged his lips into a smirk as he watched your eyes on him, lifting your legs more apart then before. You sigh, unable to move because of his strong hands holding you in place. You watch as he lowers his head, placing a few kisses up your inner thighs.

“I’m gonna fucking kill you if you don’t do something!” You snapped, in hopes you’d somewhat push things further—but he only laughed.

“Yelling at me isn’t gonna get you anywhere, baby”the feeling was almost overwhelming. You were helpless, fucking desperate. You needed him so bad, you needed him to make you feel good. “That’s it, Pretty girl. Just relax for me, I’ll make it feel good”

It hurt so bad. This aching feeling all throughout your body just wouldn’t go away. He had to touch you, he had to do something or else you’d go completely insane.

The warmth of his mouth made you gasp as your back almost immediately arched, eyes squeezing shut that the new feeling. Why did no one tell you how bad this hurt? Everyone always said going into heat with your mate was so special and felt as good as anything, but this hurt so bad.

“Neteyam” His name rolled off your tongue as his tongue circled your clit, your hand flying to your mouth to conceal your moans because otherwise, you would have screamed.

“Take your fucking hand off, or I’ll do it for you” you whimper as your ears lower, looking down into his eyes while his thumb found your clit again and you struggle to stay laid down. Had his hand not been holding you down, you would have moved a lot earlier by now. “I’m gonna take my hand off, but you have to promise you’ll be good, yeah?” You nodded in desperation. “Words”

“Yes! Yes, I’ll be good” He opens your legs a certain amount before moving back to hover above you, capturing your breath in a kiss.

“Good girl. Keep these pretty legs spread for me” he breathes, his cock now rock hard against her thigh as he lays his forehead against yours.

You gasp against his lips at the new sensation, Neteyam’s fingers slipping between your folds with ease, pushing into you as far as they could go.

“Teyam… please” His fingers curled inside of you and he grunts. You can feel his desperation, you knew he was trying to hold back for you—to apologize for what had happened this morning, but his heat was catching up to him.

“You have no idea what you do to me, Sweet girl” your hands get lost in his hair as he drops his head into your neck, listening to the beautiful moaning mess you were above him.

“I can’t… I-I-oh my god” you felt that familiar knot build in the pit of your stomach already, your head pushing against the netting under you and your eyes shutting tight. You couldn’t bare it, and Neteyam found it so entertaining.

“Just like that, baby. Come for me, you can do it” Your mate praised above you, pulling his head up to look at your twisted expression. As if he couldn’t get any harder. “Keep your eyes open, look at me, baby”

You cry out as you open your eyes, your hand grabbing onto his arm as tightly as you could, trying your hardest to keep your eyes on him. You were so close, it felt surreal. Why was he so good at this?

“Nete…!” You whimper loudly as you came undone, his eyes watching you in awe as you repeated his name over and over. It sounded so good coming from you, so fucking right.

“Breathe, Syulang. I’ve got you” You shutter as he pulls his fingers from your core, legs closing as soon as they were out. “What did I say, baby?” You whine, opening your legs again for him, your head falling in between his neck. “Open that pretty mouth of yours”

You opened your mouth at his command, opening your eyes to look at the boy, shutting your mouth around his now dripping fingers. He bit down on his bottom lip harshly, watching as you tasted yourself. You were so beyond nasty, and he loved it.

“Good girl” he pulled his fingers from your mouth, dipping his head down to connect his lips with yours. Your hand traveled down his body, thumb wiping the small amounts of pre that escaped from his cock. Like putty in your hands, he moaned into your mouth, your ears standing tall at the sound. It was truly the best sound you’d ever heard, but he was embarrassed. “Y/N… I don’t… I don’t want to come yet”

You smile at the squirming boy above you, placing many kisses along his neck. “My sweet boy, it’s your turn to suffer” you take his length in your hand, looking up at the boy because you knew that drove him absolutely crazy. He was trying so hard not to show it, but he was falling apart, determined to keep it together.

You breathed out along with him, his eyes squeezing shut at the intense feeling. If you didn’t stop now, he was going to release.

“Don’t worry, My love. I’m not done” just as you were about to touch further, he pulled you onto him, carrying you with him as he stood up from the hammock. You furrowed your eyebrows at the boy as he set you on the floor, pulling you onto his lap once he had been on the mat.

Quiet moans were shared between you two as Neteyam leaned against you, guiding you to lay on your back against the soft mat. “That was a good try, but not good enough” you didn’t even care enough to argue at this point, arching your back off the floor as you felt your arousal sky rocket again. The pain had returned, and Neteyam shushed you.

“Your doing so good, baby” A whimper clawed at your throat as your queue’s connected, the heat from both of your bodies now shared together. Your body was on fire and so was his, interlocking your hands as he slowly lined his tip to your entrance, ghosting over your sensitive clit a few times earning a small cry from you. “Shit, Y/N. Need you so bad”

“Take me, Nete. Please, take me already” You lost yourself in your words, throwing your head back once you felt him push into your dripping core. Finally you thought, your nails digging into his shoulders as he pushed further into you—cursing under his breath as you called his name.

“So wet—shit… so fucking tight” No matter how many times you two had sex, it was like the first time all over again. It felt just as good as it did when you were 18, both of your very first times. “Lighten up a bit, baby. I’m not going anywhere” He jokes, feeling you clench around him already.

He fell into a steady pace, his hands pulling your hips down to meet his almost every time. You were a mess under him, your hands pulling him closer to kiss your lips. You couldn’t help it. He was so good at this for no reason, and it felt way too good. “Oh my god”

The slap of your skin filled his ears, along with the breathless panting and muffled moans you let out. “Fuck. Need to hear you, Baby. I need you to tell me how good I’m making you feel” he grasped your hands in his, pulling one of your legs to rest against his shoulder, your eyes rolling back at the new sensation.

“Deeper, Neteyam” Your hips trembled, Whimpering for your mate to fulfill your needs. He chuckled, leaning down to you, stretching your leg further and catching your lips into a kiss, pushing deeper into you like you asked.

“Right there?” He asks, already knowing the answer just off your twisted expression, eyes rolling back as your moans fall from your throat loudly, gripping his hands.

“Mmph! Right there!” You cry out, tugging to get away from his restraints of his hands against yours. “Need to touch you… Teyam, please”

“Not yet, my love. You can do it” He knew you were close. His tip was practically kissing your cervix and it drove you wild, your moans becoming louder the faster he went. He loved watching you fall apart underneath him, watching you beg him for mercy. He was so evil for that.

“I’m gonna come, please!” You begged, your cries mixed with pleasure. You needed to hold onto him—needed to grip something to prepare you for your release, you knew he wasn’t going to let it go.

“Come for me, Sweet girl” his thumb put more pressure on your clit as he watched you with a smirk on his lips, he couldn’t believe he was doing this to you. “Need you to come for me”

You cried, begging him to keep going but you were going so insane, still trying your hardest to get your wrists out of his grip against the floor. It was no use. He was far too strong for you to ever win against him.

Neteyam was trying his hardest to hold his own release, having already planned out yours for you. There was one left, you had to get through this one first.

He placed your other leg on his other shoulder and you he could’ve sworn he fell in love with you all over again, hearing your beautiful moans increase at the position. “Your there, baby. I know you are” He felt your release daring to escape, whispering encouraging words into your ear as you cried out to him.

“Teyam…” You warned and he hummed in approval, looking into your eyes as you dared to fall apart. “I can’t-“

“You can” He coached, laying his forehead against your own. “Come for me so I can finally put a baby in you, Syulang” those words were enough to send you over the edge, your back arching off the floor with a loud cry falling from your mouth as he watched you in awe, continuing to stroke you slowly to ride out your high.

You and Neteyam hadn’t spoken about kids in awhile, but you were getting older and it was expected of you two to start trying, seeing as it was best to procreate when you were going through heat together, and the fact multiple of your people have asked you daily if you were trying or not.

The thought made your heart skip a beat, imagining Neteyam as a dad was something you did a lot more then you should. You dreamed of that—dreamed to have a family of your own. Neteyam wanted a big family, like big. He loves kids, except when they act like Lo’ak—but he wanted 4 or 5, a whole team of warriors, girls and boys. It was his goal, his purpose.

You had been so deep within your thoughts you hadn’t notice him pull you up, your legs now straddling his lap on the floor. You were still hurting from the heat, but so incredibly sore from the release you just had, and Neteyam knew.

“I know your tired, baby. One last one, yeah? Just one more and we’re done” you weren’t sure you could make it one more, but you knew Neteyam hadn’t reached his yet, and you needed to take care of him.

Your head falls in the crook of his neck as he guides your hips, ride him slowly. He couldn’t help but moan against your ear as scratched his back, hands finding his hair and tugging it back gently.

“Fuck” He moans and you smirk, pulling his hair once more causing him to do the same. You knew it. You fucking knew it.

“You like your hair pulled, huh?” You teased but he wouldn’t let you get away with that, bucking his hip up so you’d shriek. “Nete!”

“Ride me until you come, Pretty girl. I’ll be right behind you” you shake your head, coming to a stop as you whimper, wiping the tears that dared to leave your eyes.

“It’s too much, Teyam. I-I can’t-“

“Your a strong girl, you can do it, Baby” Your legs shook against his as he guided you up and down, your nails scratching his chest as you fell into a mess once again. You were doing most of the work, but there was no way in hell you would be able to stay up without his hands under you. “Fuck, Y/N” he curses and you look into his eyes, your arms wrapping around his neck.

You felt it once again, but this time much, much heavier. It had been less then five minutes and he already had you on edge, keeping his eyes on you as you rode him, the sound of your skin colliding and how wet you had been being the only thing you could hear.

“Neteyam” You moaned his name with purpose, cupping his face in your hands as you clenched around him, release threatening to completely shatter you. “I can’t hold it any longer”

He kisses your lips once more before looking into your eyes, cupping one side of your face into his hand. “Do you want this?” He asked desperately and you already knew what he was asking, his bottom lip tucked between his teeth. A heavy breath breaks through your throat and your eyes water, laying your forehead against his.

“Yes. Please, yes” you beg as he shudders under you, “I want to have a family with you, Nete. It’s all I’ve ever wanted”

“Come with me, Pretty girl” With one last loud cry, you let yourself go for the third time, hands gripping his shoulders the tightest they could as he pushed you the farthest down you could’ve went, releasing into you the deepest he could’ve ever imagined and coating your walls with his hot seed.

You both became a moaning mess on your way down from your highs, falling into each others arms as your chests heaved, especially your own. His arms held you to his chest as you whined, crying at any sudden movement that was made. “My sweet girl, you did so good”

You twirled his braid between your fingers, head falling between his neck. You couldn’t move, much less talk to the boy above you. He chuckled at your tired body, stroking your bare leg with his finger tips.

“Can we just sleep on the floor” You sigh making him laugh but he shook his head, running his fingers through your hair as you opened your eyes to look at him. “Hi”

“Hey, Syulang” Thinking back to the very first time he called you that, you would have never imagined you two would be here—in each others arms, mated for life. “Are you okay, Baby?”

You smile against his neck and nod your head, “I’ll be okay as long as I’m here with you” his cheeks flushed at your words and he leaned his head down, pressing a kiss to your own.

“Forever, Ma’Tìyawn”

Guys i got carried away asf omg… um I hope this is good I haven’t written in years.
