shelli's note. SFW angst; attachment issues; “i love tonowari sm, he’s so big teddy bear-coded 🧸….”

masterlist | part 1, part 2, alternate ending

"Tonowari, please, this is the fourth time this week.", you pleaded with your mate. Today marked the fourth day this week that Tonowari had left off to hunt with the hunters leaving you alone. In reality, you wouldn’t be this upset over him taking responsibility as the Olo’eyktan but he was being ridiculous. Leaving in the early morning to late after eclipse. You were sure to be mad at him.

Tonowari sighed and put his spear down for a mere second and grazed your cheek. “You know they can’t hunt without me” he expressed softly, “ They need me, yawntu.” Hearing the sweet nickname you settling into his touch for a second, touch and love starved before getting angry.

“Tonowari.” you spoke, “You barely have anytime for me anymore. I sit alone most nights and wait for you. The neighbors talk.” After saying this you felt tears swell in your eyes for this has been going on for sets of months and you were sick of it.

You both heard a male na’vi call Tonowari’s name outside the marui and looked back at him hoping for him to stay with you. But instead of the sweet eyes you were hoping to meet they were bitter.

He looked at you for a second before picking up his spear and uttering the words that you least wanted to hear. “I’m leaving.”

Before you could reach out to hold his arm he left. You stand in shock and watched him leave. Each step leaving you in even more confusion. This was not your husband. The Tonowari you knew was caring and loved you with all his heart. Always making sure no one ever hurt you, especially himself.

It hurt even worse each time your mind reminded you that he chose his work over his first love.

The entire day that was ahead of you was filled with sorrow. Tonowari was nowhere to be found of course. A part of you wanted to see him again so you could express your feelings.

After finishing your tasks as Tsa’hik you needed some closure so you went up to your favorite spot. It was past most maruis and covered by a huge tree next to it so it was a secret spot. You would climb up to the stretchy fabric and lay on it like a hammock.

Along with the comfort the view was peaceful. You could see a vast assortment of colorful plants and the hunting area. Right below you was the storage pile for all the nets and spears for hunting. Which also happened to be where the hunters would talk from time to time for relaxation.

Although seeing the hunting area did not help one bit. All the kisses and little smiles you would earn everyday. His sweet nothings that he would say to you in between tasks. His time and dedication to make you joyful for hours. You missed this. You missed him.

All the memories roamed around your mind. Especially one in particular.

Today was a very special day. A day which the Olo’eyktan and Tsa’hik go around the entire village and inspect for minor to major mistakes. And then settle in the main hall and have a meeting with all the leaders of the clan. (i.e. leader of hunting, main weaver, the Tsa’hik’s assistants, etc.)

“Tonowariii”, you exclaimed in a cheerful voice. You had just finished your hair and it looked gorgeous. Your voluptuous, bouncy curls with little pearls dangling here and there. Paired with the most beautiful seashell you’ve ever seen in all the islands.

Handpicked by Tonowari himself, which he found one day on the shore while walking around. Before he could grab it, the waves pulled it to sea! He was determined to get it for you so for days he searched in the ocean for it with his ilu; until it was found. You loved it and were finally wearing it now.

He came inside the marui unready for your beauty but not surprised in the slightest. The prettiest woman in Awa’atlu is what you were to him.

“Do you like it?”, you giggled.

“I love it.”, he replied while setting down a quick but cute kiss on your cheek before speaking again. “You are breathtaking.”

You giggled again before the two of you walked out of your marui. In the view were a couple of teenagers on ilus, apparently racing. They were getting closer and closer by the second before making a sharp turn right in front of your marui and you.

The water was about to splash all your hard work away. You closed your eyes and shielded your face with your arms but then opened them to Tonowari covered you all wet himself.

You stepped back in shock and guilt because he had spent almost a hour on his appearance and was now drenched in salty water.

“Tonowari! You’re all wet now!”, you worryingly expressed.

“It’s alright, tíyawn, as long as your fine.”, he replied with the sweet smile he always wore on his face.

You smiled back and noticed a bit of water on your arm. And some more on your chest. And everywhere. Looking up you realized it started to rain very quickly. Over the seconds the rain picked up swiftly and you were wet as well.

You looked over to your mate and stared in silence until you both bursted out laughing. How cute.

“Hey, yawntu.”, Tonowari spoke.

“Yes, my love?”

“Let’s not go anywhere today.”

“What?”

“Yeah, we can go to the beach and walk around.”

You ended up agreeing and you both ditched your duties. A fair display of his affection and his past priority of you over work. Both of you walked and talked. Giggled while you were hiding from the clan leaders.

After remembering the bonding you both went through maybe you were overreacting? Maybe he was having a bad day. You thought to yourself for a few moments and decided to stop thinking so much about the idea. You sat there in content for a few more minutes before you noticed something move in the corner of your eye. Or someone. You crouched down and saw Tonowari and his companions carrying fishing nets and such. Seeing him made your heart ache and you wanted to walk over there, talk it out, and give him a big hug. You smiled at the thought and continued to peer into their conversation from your hiding spot above. From what you could hear, you heard this; "Tonowari. Why do you still put up with her?", said one Metkayina Navi. "Yes, I agree. She's so clingy and frankly a horrible choice in Tsahik and your wife.", said another.

Hearing this made your smile fades and a cold sweat accompanied your back. Your eyes shot at Tonowari hoping he would deny these negative words. Tonowari sighed. "I don't know. I only mated with her because she is good as a Tsahik but she's irritating. So you're right about one thing.", he says confidently without any stuttering. Your heart dropped and you sat there in silence for a bit before slipping away from your hiding place. Tears started to swell in your eyes as you heard their mockery while leaving unnoticed. Their laughing about how "infuriating" you were. Regardless of that, you wouldn't care about anybody taunting you if only your mate and one "true" love hadn't been the one making these "jokes".

You wiped a tear falling down your eye but while you were busy with your sorrows an accessory of yours fell off your body. The seashell Tonowari had gifted you, something that you cherished.

After Tonowari and his friends had finished their ridicule Tonowari had gone to gather more of the spare nets on the shore. But he stopped in his tracks and stared down on the floor. At the seashell, you had dropped on the sand. And a wet tear to accompany it just a few steps away from the shell.

P.S. this is what the shell looks like in context ⬇

Tonowari stared at the shell with confusion. Once that confusion subsided it was replaced with guilt and sorrow. He crouched down picking up the shell and holding it tightly in his hand. You would wish he would hold you tightly in his hand like he did with the shell, but it wasn't meant to be.

It never was. Maybe you knew this from the start? When did he become like this? You thought in your head. One thought coming from the other. Were you truly a poor excuse in a wife? And a nagging one at that?

Clingy, they said. Is it so wrong to cling to your husband? Wasn't it truly the way of things? You did love him with all your heart, but you would start to think that you were far too attached to him.

Maite?

Maite..?

"Maite!", said your mother as she brought you out of your thoughts.

"What's wrong?", she added.

"Ah, I'm sorry Mother, I've just had a stressed day," you replied in a fainter voice, including a small voice crack due to your depressing thoughts.

Your mother gave you a small smile before taking whatever you were working on out of your hands and setting it down on the table.

"Go rest in your marui, I'm sure Tonowari will be waiting for you there.", she said softly with a smile.

Ah, yes. You had to go back to your home with the person you least wanted to encounter. You still had not told your mother about this interaction with your mate, and that was why you made up fake excuses to stay in your Mother's marui for the time being.

You gave your Mother a smile and a respectful nod and stood up, saying your goodbye as you lightly walked out of the marui.

The night time was always a peaceful time of day for all, but not for you.

You trekked silently along the village, worrying about not waking anybody from their slumber. Once you reached your marui you let out a sigh and had a deep breath. Tonowari had to still be out with his companions hunting, right?

You walked in and were greeted by a familiar face, your mate. He sat along the bed you shared, sharpening his spear and focusing his attention directly on it. Oh, Eywa.

He stopped and raised his head taking a look at you. You shared eye contact, which was silent. Although, your eyes spoke volumes.

Both of you stayed like this for a few seconds before he reverted his attention to his spear once more. Although, there was a bit of guilt marked on his face, something you could not see.

You clenched your fist and let out a small sigh and spoke.

"Am I really this clingy and irritating to you like you speak of?"

Why would you say that? Eywa please help me, you thought. Maybe you should've stayed silent. But you continued.

His eyes quickly came to yours, with that same silent eye contact. He looked lost for words, this you could see.

"Please tell me that at least a part of this was real, Tonowari.", you spoke in whispers, holding back a tear.

"Speak Tonowari, please."

"You made a promise.", you continued.

These words shot daggers into his heart. He was so used to his quiet and loving wife. Why did he feel all this sorrow deep in his heart if he believed you were so irritating?

"I'm.. I'm sorry.", he spoke quietly.

"What are you sorry for?"

"For everything, for what I said. And for how I acted.", he said breaking the eye contact, for he couldn't bear to see the pain written all over your face.

He dropped his spear and stood up, coming close to you, so that both your waists were almost in touch. As he towers over you, you feel a wet tear rolling down your face. Not yours. His.

He raised his hand and stroked a piece of your hair gently.

"I don't know how to love you… but I'm ready to try.", he speaks.

"No. We're finished, Tonowari. You do not love me.", you reply, tears now visible in your eyes.

You get out of his grasp.

"I'm leaving.", you grab your things, clothes, anything you could possibly snatch in those 10 seconds. You spot your seashell on the table. The seashell he gifted you. Your disdainful gaze softened a bit at the sight, before you grabbed that as well. You shoved everything in a basket before going in front of him again.

"Please, yawntu, I will try and I will be better. I-", he said and you cut him off.

"Don't, please.", you winced a bit at his words. "Don't make this harder than it should be." You grabbed his hand, gently although you wish you hadn't. You placed a familiar seashell in his hand, and closed his finger, making his grab the seashell in his hand.

"Goodbye, yawntutsyìp."

"Goodbye, Tonowari."

"so, ive been away from home for long. how have you been? how is the hunt? and neytiri, how is neytiri?", you asked, focusing more on your food then tsu'tey's reactions, already predicting his answers.

"i'm fine, neytiri and i are not to be mated anymore. she mated with jake sully from the jarhead clan." he replied, his voice getting lower the more words he spoke, clearly getting a bit agitated by speaking on the subject.

"oh." you spoke with an astonishment and joy that you tried hard to cover, your focus now fully on him, eyes wide and all. neytiri is out of the picture?

"oh?" he repeated, in a hushed tone, surprised by your sudden reaction. not agitated any more, but curious. you took in a sharp inhale, deciding to look away.

"what about _____? how are they doing, arent you both ready to be mated soon?", tsu'tey questioned, eyeing you down.

"they decided not to, i guess it was rushed," you responded, letting out a breath you didn't realize you were holding in.

"oh." he breathed out. his eyebrows moved up, different from his usual scowl. his yellow eyes were big and curious.

suddenly the proximity between you two wasn't just 'platonic'. and the air was thick, but in the moment for some reason, tsu'tey decided to move closer.

— ao'nung headcanons ⋆·˚ ༘ *

genre: SFW, fluff

wc: 339

a/n: wanted to do something quick and cute so i'm just going to place this right here..

physical touch !

he lovesss to massage your shoulders whenever you get tense. and he'll spoon you to bed whenever you're upset or honestly just in general. the man loves to call out your everything because he thinks everything from your head to your toes is perfect. whenever you hug he loves to use both his arms and his torso to pull you closer, lingering on you for another second to sweeten the embrace. he will randomly give you a back rub or scratch. and of course, knowing the confident ao'nung he'll show to everyone that you're mates. openly showing a display of love to everyone.

protection !

ao'nung is protective ( obvi like any other na'vi, but he's extra..), whenever you two go out to explore the island he's always watching around for danger. he's always alert when around you because he values your health so much. you tell him to relax and he does, i mean, you used your charm so how can he resist? you will want to try a new berry or food growing but he'll try it first for your safety. this man will literally fistfight anyone who tries to hurt you - threaten you. you drive him crazy when you do the same, it shows you care for him the same. plus you look hot asf.

affection !

istg ao'nung flirts with you so much. he doesn't think much of it because it's normal to him and part of his "daily routine". but when you meet his ice-cold blue eyes and you feel your cheeks warming up he gets interested. his stingingly blue eyes make your knees weak and when he sees that he gets amused and reverts all his attention to you. he'll say things like "i don't bite" or call you pets names like "sugar" or "sweetheart". he knows you love it and he does too. especially when he'll stare at your lips unashamed and bite his lower lip on purpose.

Volume Two !

pairing: ao'nung x omaticaya na'vi fem!reader

genre: cursing, SFW

synopsis: After the attack at the center of the tents you and your family were living at, you deciphered where your loved ones could be. The Metkayina tribes. But without a map or compass, how would you get there? Would Ma'yna, your ikran, find the way to the islands and hopefully your family?

wc: 1.2k

a/n: in this series, there will be a narrator to explain some info, the text will look like this.

for example:

"The cat ran away."

I was rummaging through some dusty boxes that my father had kept in case of emergency. I found some supplies and a gun. It was plenty enough to supply me for the journey ahead, even if I had no idea where I was going to go. These things, yes I needed but I needed a map at most. Then I found it. My key out of here.

On the other hand, the Sully family were all worried, especially Neytiri. "We looked in the forest, she must've gone back looking for us!!!", yelled Neytiri in Na'vi as she paced around. "She could already be dead right now!" Tears constantly running down her face as she cried to suffocate her pain. All of them were on some unknown land they had landed on to collect everything that had just happened.

Now I know you're probably asking yourself this. What the hell happened? Why did they leave Y/N all alone? The truth was after hopping on their banshees, Kiri had told your parents that you went hunting for some food to accompany the long journey.

After they heard this, they went to the forest, and later to a spot where hunting was done. It was where the animals had grazed. They looked all over and were about to continue when they heard more sky people searching in a more vast area, where they were searching.

Then they were forced to flee. I mean what were they gonna do? Risk getting the kids beside them get killed? Back to the point, their plan was to leave for a day or so and come back to look for you, until they suspected the sky people had moved on.

Anyways back to the plot.

"I know but we have to stay calm.", said Jake in a tranquil but still very panicky voice. "We'll go look for her tomorrow." Silence spread the atmosphere and there was a depressing mood. Until there was a noise. Beeping and beeping and beeping. To their sudden realization Kiri blurted out, "It's Y/N, check the throat mic !!". "Helloo!! Hello?!" Everyone sighed with relief before Neytiri jumped at the microphone asking me a billion questions. "Are you ok?! Where are you?!"

I answered all of them calming down my family. The conversation then led to the journey to the Metkayina tribes. I told my family to head there first because they had already flown very far and it was only to protect the people from further damage. Everyone was shaky about the idea but what other choice was there? Of course, I could not fly there without directions so my father described where to go and what to look for when going there. Whether to take a turn over at the mountains or to head east or west. And there it was. The plan was set. I was to journey to the Metkayina islands on my own.

I tightly wrapped the throat mic around my neck, so I could keep in touch with my family and went to go pack. All the necessities were already available like food and water. I just needed to pack my personal belongings. The knife my mother gifted me along with the set of beads and warrior loincloth that could quote on quote "make any man faint". I wore them both as a symbol of pride and confidence.

"Dang he sounds like a bitch.", I muttered. "He is, after we got into that fight he started picking on us even more", said Lo'ak. I was just thinking about how this guy looked or how he acted in person. "What was his name again?", I asked with a deeper tone. "Ao'nung." Ao'nung. "Can't wait to beat his ass.", I said in a smug foxy tone. "But, regardless, I'm almost there." "Can't wait." (Lo'ak!! Come on, bed!) "Looks like it's eclipse, I'll see you tomorrow, brother.", I stated. "Good night."

"Good night." I looked up to the stars quickly drifting away into my peaceful slumber. Falling asleep on the sand with Ma'yna using my bag as a pillow, on a small island. Poke. Poke. Poke. "AHH." "WHO THE HELL IS POKING ME !" Once I had gotten up from my undisturbed sleep it was morning and I saw something slither into the water. I quickly hid behind Ma'yna, shielding myself from whatever was in the water. It had eyes that could kill. And hair? Whatever it was I wasn't having it. I picked up my gun and pointed it straight at it. Then it plopped in the ocean and I'm guessing swam away.

"Weird."

You quickly settled down Ma'yna on the sand as a crowd formed around you. Mere seconds after you saw something similar, that it in the water. Not exactly but it's hair? That was strange. The boy seemed to be looking you up and down, checking you out. You smugly smirked back at him while tightly wrapping Ma'yna's saddle rope onto a wooden pole.

He started walking up closer until it was eye to eye. "Like what you see?", I said foxily. Guess that loincloth came in handy. The boy suddenly widened his eyes and scoffed awkwardly, like he had nothing to say because he hadn't expected my remark. Then he backed away, without talking. Before I said anything else I noticed familiar faces, my family. They all rushed to me, each one tightly hugging me and squeezing the air out of me. Then I saw Tuk crying, she was overfilled with so much joy she didn't know how to express it. I scooped her and hugged her tightly. "I'm here now, Tuktirey, it's okay."

Shortly after Tonowari and Ronal entered with their banshee-looking beasts. Then my father introduced me, "This is Y/N, my daughter, she didn't come with us because of some difficulties along the journey, but she's here now." Tonowari and my father were both conversing and the crowd began to lessen. But, that boy was still there, eyeing me and exchanging scoffs and grins with his friends. I wished I could listen to what they were saying although I did catch one word. Freak. Then it hit me, that boy was Ao'nung. I figured it out because Kiri had mentioned all their antics and comments they would make. Freak being one of them. The crowd lessened and lessened until Tonowari and Ronal left. Neytiri, Jake, and Tuk left for the marui as well so it was just me, Neteyam, and Lo'ak. Ao'nung and his friends grew closer. Then the smaller one, Kiri explained being Roxto, said something. "Another freak to the family." I shot arrows at him with my eyes and stared him down. Then Ao'nung said pridefully, "This one looks even worse that the others." That just didn't sit well with me. "That's why you were staring at this one, right? If you think I'm good-looking you can say so, Ao'nung."

a/n: delivering what needed to be delivered. 🤝 enjoy this while i work more on next part of tardy .

dialect !

chillest mate ever award goes to neteyam. he doesn't care who you talk to, whether it be a male or not. (trusts you to the moon and back). he loves the shudders he gets when he hears your "angelic" voice. (that's what he calls it aw). he absolutely adores having long talks with you. it makes him feel so good sitting beside you, playing with your beads, and conversing. it could be about anything, anything he could think of. just to be with you. not the kind of you that goes on hunts, or takes care of children, or rides on an ikran. he loves the real you. when you unwind from everything, relax, and take all the tension away. the kind that sometimes gossips about na'vi scandals. or the kind that sometimes hides from the olo'eyktan to escape hunting duty. that's the real reason he loves conversing with you.

hand touching !

LORD HAVE MURTHY HE LOVES YOUR HANDS. (he loves everything abt u but has this little thing about your hands). maybe it's how you play with his hair or those little moments where you'll hold hands in between hunting duty. or how you'll hold children while he wishes that someday you'll be holding his and your child.

he'll interlock with your fingers because it gives him security. his rough, scarry hands holding your soft, heavenly hands. his hands are always rocky from all the training he does. while your hands are smooth like a thanator's skin. you train twice as complex than him but still manage to keep your skin soft. he doesn't know how you handle these things,

atp this man thinks you're a goddess.

cuddling !

he'll take ANY chance he gets to nap and laze around with you. it's practically his favorite thing actually. and when i say any i say ANY, let's just say he's sneaked into your marui not listening to jake's instructions. his favorite cuddling position is the honeymoon hug because he's as close to you as he can be. or he'll just lay on your thighs while you'll hum out his favorite melody. he's hella pampered, but mans deserves it. after a long day of hunting and fighting he'll come to your marui and just absolutely topple on top of you and snore to sleep until morning. my guy does not let you sleep at night with his baby snoring. you find it cute thoe

extra !

you both match. every. day. you made a similar headpiece and neckpiece as his and wear it every day. his reaction was very much wholesome. he just felt so good to be appreciated. + you looked DIVINE. you both have heard multiple times that you have a breath-stopping aura. you guys are such a power couple it's crazy. people will stare at you while you just carry on with your normal day.

pairing: tsu'tey te rongloa ateyo'itan x fem!reader na'vi

word count. 413

synopsis. You're out hunting with your friends in the dead of night while Tsu'tey sits in bed, sulking, and craving your kisses.

shelli's note. The synopsis is a bit misleading, this is just fluff! All SFW! Enjoy :)

Tsu’tey tossed and turned in bed, lacking a specific maker of warmth beside him. He was waiting patiently for you to come back home, you mentioned you were out hunting with friends, but you still had not returned. His muscles were sore, his mind was racing, and he was left alone. Not being pampered with your kisses was a feeling he had never experienced until now.

His brows furrowed as he tried to fall asleep on his own. Before you mated he was never this needy, he was very independent. And now here he was in all his glory, not able to fall into slumber without you. If only the tribe heard that their best hunter was this vulnerable, how much they would talk. What a mess. 

His mind went blank and he was finally half-asleep, still aware of his surroundings but in his own world. A half-hour later there was a huge thunk on the hut’s floor. A bow and a few dozen arrows dropped on the wooden ground as you treaded slowly over to a weaved bowl, used to store all your trinkets and beads. You took off every piece of jewelry down to every neckpiece. 

Tsu’tey’s groggy eyes slowly opened to you in the hut, walking around. Soon after your eyes met with his, a warm and sleepy smile adorned your face as you walked over to the hammock. Tsu’tey’s arms spread wide, as a sign to embrace him to sleep. You chuckled, accepting his embrace and cuddling up close into his chest. 

“I’m sorry for coming back home later than usual. The hunt was longer than we had thought.”, you mumbled to which Tsu’tey replied with a tired, grouchy, and low huff.

“Don’t be so grumpy, yawntu [beloved]. You know I love you so much.”, you continued saying, your voice laced with sweetness as you set soft kisses on his jaw. 

“I’m not.. grumpy.”, Tsu’tey said in a low voice. 

“Then what are you?”, you questioned with a visible smile.

“Tired.”

The sentence made you let out a small chuckle. “My baby. I left you here all alone with no kisses.”, you said, babying him as you kissed his neck and cheek. He became less tense, letting out a deep exhale as he melted into your body and the hammock with his eyes shut.

“I would be grumpy too.”, you said. Hearing this Tsu’tey’s hold on your waist became tighter as he put a little kiss on your temple.

synopsis: Y/N, you are the firstborn of the Sully family a mere one year older than Neteyam. After the fiasco with the sky people, the decision was made. You and your family were set to reach the Metkayina clan in hopes of saving your people. But, in a twist of events, your own arrival was affected by an attack. Sky people. What happens to you? Or your family?

a/n: first fic ! hope i do it right 😭 ao'nung isn't introduced in part 1 but he will be later on!! nevertheless, enjoy!

Crouched down I was listening to my parents quarrel in their non-stop argument and a serious one at that. Whether or not we had left our home would determine the safety of the people. Our people. ("No! This is our home!", yelled Neytiri.) I got taken aback by my mother and father arguing so I stepped back into the hands of Neteyam. His eyes were hopeful with desperation.

"When will they stop?", muttered Tuk in a drained voice. Her eyelids felt like the weight of the world was on them. ("This will protect the people! ...... Quaritch has Spi.... that kid knows everything!") Tired yourself, you picked up your little sister and entered the tent.

Both your mother and father glared at you with rage. Not for you but for each other. "Tuktirey is tired. I am tired. Everyone is tired. Save this for another night." Neytiri looked at Tuk feeling a strong wave of motherhood over her. With her instincts, she paced to you and lifted her youngest and watched shortly as she snoozed in her arms.

"There's no need to continue this another night. We're leaving for the Metkayina clan islands first thing next week.", said your Father with his roaring voice. Looking over, Neteyam, Lo'ak, and Kiri fixated on their own opinions but it all came down to it. We were headed to the islands next week.

Kiri was sitting next to me, packing all her trinkets and whatnot for the journey ahead of us. "We don't need those things if we're on banshees for days.", you said in a playfully smug tone. "We need food." Kiri just rolled her eyes to not contribute to my attempt at amusement.

Brushing off my own remark I reminded myself I was supposed to go hunt. "... That reminds me, I'm off to the forest for some meat.", you swiftly spoke before Kiri reminded you that your father said to return before eclipse.

I nodded in understanding, grabbed my bow, and walked out of the tent.

While hunting I took in the beauty of Eywa the trees and roots, some flowers blooming and some not. Breathing the fresh air of the forest before having to breathe a salty one. I just couldn't keep my mind off having to leave the forests, our home. A swift motion snapped me out of my constant sadistic thoughts. I quickly leaped on the branches of the trees surrounding me to get a better aim at the hexapod I had seen. This beast was a good catch, if I hit it, it would suffice the entire family for a good 3 days. Just when I was about to shoot it with my bow I heard something and the creature dashed away. Gun. Bullet. Shot. Blood. Dead. Loud. These thoughts were racing through my head until my moment of realization. Sky people. I sprinted with urgent panic thinking about my family. Were they still alive even? I heard many crashes and screaming. I heard my mother. Oh my god. Was she scared? Or looking for me? How is Tuk? And my siblings? When I got to the scene I was quiet and alert because I was so frightened. "They're gone, rode off on their dinosaur pets.", said one voice. I glanced for a second and saw soldier sky people, the ones my father had fought with. The ones that killed many of my people and the Hometree. Before I knew it they had left in their massive metal creature. When I ran to the tents there was no one. At least no one was alive to tell me was had happened. I dashed as fast as I could to my family's tent and there was no one in sight. Tears left my eyes as I dropped to the floor at the sight of so many of my people dead. I remembered what the sky people had said earlier. "They're gone, rode off.." My family might've been alive and well. They must've rode off at the sight of the sky people. If they weren't in the tent or forest then there was one location they would be at. The Metkayina.

a/n: enjoy !! extra fluff just how yall like it 😻

Ao'nung was taken aback by my comment. All of them suddenly backed off, and Ao'nung realized I wasn't like my siblings, I would stick up for myself. He saw me in a new aura and as we were leaving I saw his flustered face and bloodshot-red ears. I snickered loudly so that he would hear and said, "Cat got your tongue?". Then left with my siblings. "You're really something...", said Neteyam while smirking. "I know.", I replied because in fact I did know and I wasn't going to let some cute punk ruin my day. Wait. Cute? I don't know what's getting into me. I sighed loudly and then entered the marui. "It sure is different than the tents back home..", I muttered in an unpleasant voice. "Well, it's home now so make yourself comfortable.", Dad replied. From the rectangular opening on the ceiling and floor, the light would shine all around the marui like a caleidoscope. The island really was a sight, the ocean and homes, the locals, Ao'nung, the sand.. Wait. Ao'nung?? I really gotta stop. This kid was on my bad side. Bad. Side. What snapped me out of my thoughts was Tsireya. "It's time for your lessons ! Please join me, Rotxo, and Ao'nung on the beach!", she pridefully exclaimed. My ears perked up at the sound of his name. Neteyam definitely saw that. "This is gonna be fun..", I whispered foxily.

As we went to the beach to sit down and start the breathing lessons, I saw Rotxo nudging Ao'nung with his shoulder teasing him. I snickered and then sat down just like everyone else. We were doing some kind of breathing technique and I just blurted out dumbfoundedly, "I already know how to breathe, why are we learning this?" Tsireya was about to explain but then Ao'nung jumped at me with his words. "Not like that skxawng, you have to breathe from here." He suddenly placed his hands on my torso demonstrating how it was supposed to be done. I couldn't help but feel my heart racing once he set his hands on my stomach. My brain was set on how he was holding my body and I zoned out of what he was saying.

Shortly after, he moved closer, put one of his hands on my lower back, and said, "You have to have a good posture too when you're swimming and riding the ilu." His hands were cold but refreshing and a bit pruny because of all the water. The extra skin that was to help him swim, smoothly glided on my ribcage as he showed me some technique I wasn't even paying attention to. "Wanna show me again?", I said with a self-satisfied face and followed along with an obnoxiously attractive chuckle. Suddenly, he realized what he was doing in reality and quickly went back to his seat on the edge of the rock flustered. He wasn't even looking at me but his eyes were shooting hearts. It was cute at how flustered he could get after one sentence. Once we finished with the breathing lessons we went out to the ocean. I had always loved the ocean, at least from what I would see up from Ayram Alusìng ( aka. Hallelujah Mountains ) it was truly a sight. We went down to the water and started "swimming". We were basically just swinging our asses in the water but who's asking. Tsireya, Rotxo, and Ao'nung were pretty much a mile away when only two seconds in the water, they were professionals. And we were, eh. Then the three came up and Ao'nung said, "You're not good divers, maybe swinging through trees but-". He then shut up when Tsireya hit him on the back of his head. I giggled at the sight of that and he pouted, which made me giggle even more. I know he couldn't breathe when his sight was all fixed on me, he thinks I don't see it but I do. In the middle of our little romance, Neteyam was catching on to every little hint. After we got out of the water I was soaking wet. My loincloth was a bit wrinkled but I could dry it. Suddenly the sun came out and every part of me was glistening. My hair was shiny and looked smooth, but needed to be dried.

Mind you, at this moment you were shining like a goddess. And once Ao'nung stepped out of the water he was stunned and couldn't look away. Anyway, back to the plot.

All of us were then sunbathing on the beach to dry off and then get on with other activities and chores. Neteyam was sleeping, Loak and Tsireya were talking (flirting actually but who's asking??), Rotxo and Kiri were conversing looking at pretty shells. And then there was me and Ao'nung.

I was roughly squeezing out the water from my braids, and couldn't seem to get all the water out. I had done this all the time with Tuk but couldn't from behind. Ao'nung let out a deep sigh and came on over to me. "Here. Let me help.", he said in a soft tone. He gently touched my hair and dried every last bit. I was sitting on the warm sand in a 'laying down' position with my hands holding me up so that he could dry off my hair. He picked out every piece of seaweed and massaged my scalp to get out any sand that was stuck. "Mmm.. that's nice.", I mumbled in a comforting voice and he faintly chuckled. Along with the light waves, the sand, the sun, and the local behind us playing a happy melody on their ukulele. We both nodded off, hand in hand. He was slightly holding my torso ( like the big spoon ) to keep my secure from the back and I was holding his hand. My tail wrapping around his leg and we gently fell asleep.

shelli's note. SFW angst, fluff, "so i decided to make this for those who needed closure, but overall i decided to stop it at part 2 because of the angst lovers yk.."

masterlist | part 1, part 2, alternate ending

Tonowari's day after your interaction wasn't the best one. He woke up with a headache and a lack of warmth next to him. You.

You were all he's ever known and when you were gone, he knew he'd faced the consequences of his actions. Looking back at what he said and did he felt like the worst person on Pandora. He cursed himself that night. And morning. And after that. And after. After that too.

It was lonely in his marui [Metkayina's type of house]. By himself with his thoughts. And depressing thoughts at that. Now he understood why you were so "clingy". He was gone most days and nights hunting with those poor excuses he called "friends". And you were cast aside in your mother's marui. Alone with your thoughts. Just as he was at the moment.

He knew he'd have to make things right. Even if you wouldn't forgive him. Tonowari wanted you to at least know that he truly felt sorry and that his heart ached for you.

Days flew by as Tonowari still did not get used to the pain. He was a mess. How could he control this village without his precious Tsahik?

"The nets should go on the western part of the island.", said one of the Awa'Atlu officials.

"I agree, it's best for the hunting.", said another.

"What do you think, sir?", they asked Tonowari.

"I think it's fine.", he replied harshly before standing up and making his way to leave the meeting.

Tonowari also heard a few whispers behind his back.

"Where is the Tsahik?" [Female leader, healer, and Eywa's speaker of a clan.]

"This village is a mess without her.."

"Maybe she got fed up with Tonowari's actions."

This earned them a nasty glare by Tonowari. He was already acting coldly to everyone due to the situation. He didn't need to be furious about it. The whispers said a few nervous apologies before Tonowari walked out.

But before he could trek more, a certain na'vi woman caught his eye. You. Oh, Eywa. How his heart ached for your love and touch once more. How much he wished to be in your presence again, you would never know. Or would you?

His admiration slowly rose to anger. He was supposed to be there right now with you. Helping you. Laughing with you.

Tonowari's quiet admiration was suddenly broken by a familiar face. One of his hunting friends.

"Tonowari, what are you looking at-..", their eyes slowly followed Tonowari's to see you. They scoffed and gave Tonowari a smug grin.

"There's no way you want her back?", they added.

Tonowari gave them a glare before saying, "Yes, I do. I realized I don't need kurkungs [assholes] like yourself to tell me what I should do with the love of my life."

He harshly dropped the heavy nets onto their arms. Causing them to stumble back a bit.

"Bring these to the western side of the island.", Tonowari continued before walking away from his "friend".

As Tonowari continued walking he caught eyes with you from a distance. It was like the entire world stopped around you. Leaving the both of you alone. Eywa, you wished you had not but your heart skipped a beat. You wondered if his did too.

You realized what you were doing only a mere two seconds later and quickly broke eye contact. Trying your very best to revert your attention back to helping your mother with her chores. But how could you revert all your attention back to chores when he was standing there all alone. Almost like he was waiting for you. You could feel his eyes on you.

And staring he was. He wanted to pick you up into his arms and tell you how much of a kurkung [asshole] he was and how much he loved you. And he was in fact waiting. He knew you would not come to him, but he hoped with the little hope he had that you would. And when you didn't, he sighed in defeat as he walked away, with his head down.

To win your heart over again would take many eclipses.

But then again, his heart yearned for yours for far too many eclipses as well. What could he lose?

For he had already lost the most precious thing that ever happened to him with a blink of an eye.

"He- He said that?", you asked your Mother. Your eyes widen as your mother explained the situation with her own eyes. Tonowari stood up for you? Apparently, while you were helping your mother with her chores, your mother was accidentally eavesdropping on Tonowari's conversation.

"Yes, Maite [daughter], with that stern voice of his.", your Mother said quite suggestively with a side-smirk and a playful jab to your side.

You chuckled softly. "Saʼnok [mother], what are you suggesting?"

"I'm not suggesting anything, my dear.", she paused as she thought for the right words. "Maybe what drove you two away was the lack of communication."

And with that she got up from her seat and walked out of the marui. You knew exactly what she was doing, chuckling at the thought of your mother hinting you some advice.

Was she right? You would just have to find out.

Tonowari breathed quiet breaths as he stood in his marui, glancing around at the quiet space, that he had created. His eyes fell onto that same seashell. He took it in his hand and sighed a big, long breath of exhaustion.

Some faint footsteps were heard, but he drowned them out.

Silence.

"You still kept it?" His ears perked up at the familiar voice. He turned around to see you, in the flesh. Standing in the marui you both had once shared.

He was dumb-struck. Mainly with the fact that you would even consider talking to him. And also that you came here, with such boldness. He gulped and knew he couldn't mess this up, you never said it but he knew this counted as a second chance.

He would be Pandora's biggest skxawng [moron, idiot] if he screwed up.

Tonowari blinked a few times before completed turning around to face you. "Yes- Yes, I did. I did keep it."

He was nervous. Avoiding eye contact like it was the plague. And you could see goosebumps forming on his neck. That was a little fun fact you picked up on when you were both caught kissing behind his mom's marui one evening years back.

Tonowari breathed a sharp inhale. He didn't know what to say because frankly, he didn't know why you were here. To tell him off? To make things right? Or something.. more?

"Come sit with me.", you said firmly. No stutter. Nothing. You made your way over just outside the marui. Sitting down in front of it, your feet and calves in the water. He complied quickly, sitting down next to you. Following you like a child would to their mother.

The next few seconds were pure silence. Not the kind of silence you would like to avoid. The kind where you could relax and get some pressure off by doing so.

You looked down at the water in front of you, staring at your reflection. In the reflection, you could see your face and a sad Tonowari glancing at you every half-second or so. Wondering if he should speak or be spoken to.

"I'm sorry.", he finally said. His words came out quieter than intended. He cleared his throat and looked at your face again. You said nothing and just let out an audible exhale of weariness.

You felt a hand on your chin causing your teary eyes to look into his.

"Yawntu [beloved], please. Look at me.", he said quietly. You bit your cheek.

"Why would you say those things about me, Tonowari?"

He took his hand off your chin carefully but you still remained gazing into his eyes. "That was foolish of me. Oeru txoa livu, yawntu. [I'm sorry, lover.]" He paused and then continued.

"I spent all my time on my work, and I didn't pay enough attention to you. And how sevin [beautiful] you are. I know that now."

He bit his tongue. Indicating he wants to say something bitter, but something that needs to be said.

"You deserve better than me.", he held his head low as he spoke.

"You don't mean that.", you muttered softly while repositioning to look at him as you sat.

"I do. And if I could take back all of what I said, I would.", his brows furrowed. "No. I will."

"I promise I will, I'll make it up to you."

You stayed silent. Promise, he says. Yet again, you're in the same spot. Just outside your marui, listening to him as he promises you something that you doubt he can give. Can he?

The sun began to set as it touched your azure features and his back.

The sky-people had this funny phrase they used. Second time's the charm?

"Okay.", you said, meeting his eyes.

"Okay?"

"I'll give you this one chance. You gave me your word. Your promise. Do not let me down, Tonowari.", you said with a bit of a pleading face but one that was soft. Your gaze softened as your eyes collided with his.

His face instantly decompressed. The wrinkles on the sides of his eyes pushed up. His lips shined a bright smile. Eywa, you missed it. His smile was something you never thought you needed but when you saw it, your body felt instant joy.

"Irayo." [Thank you], he suddenly pulled you in for a hug. It caught you off guard but you eased into it. Your arms wrapped around his back like a puzzle piece to another. Like it was meant to be.

"Nìprrte’." [Pleasurably; You’re welcome], you said back, your face buried in between his shoulder and neck.

Behind him you saw locals gazing at the exchange, smiling and conversing with one another. Was their cherished Tsahìk back?

The waves crashed gently with one another as the sun was high up in the sky. The perfect start to the perfect day.

The view pans over to a happy Tonowari.

"We should move hunting to the south side of the island. There are more fish there, even if the waves are large it'll be better for the clan.", said one Metkayina hunter.

"No way, our hunters will tire out in those waves before eclipse even hits! We should stick with the east side.", said another. They both looked over to Tonowari, expecting him to find a conclusion to the mess.

Tonowari cleared his throat and spoke up. "We will send our strongest to the south side. Our beginners and our less experienced will stay on the east side." His words sent joyful smiles to all the hunters and leaders. Tonowari's behavior had a big contrast to his behavior in the last meeting. From pissed and snarky to caring and kind. Regardless of this, they weren't complaining.

"Fyole!" [sublime; beyond perfection], said one of the hunters, happy with the arrangement.

Tonowari heard a few whispers behind his back.

"What's gotten him so joyful?"

"My my, Eywa must've heard the clan's prayers."

"The Tsahìk must be back."

But this time, the whispers only made him even more optimistic.

And back you were. His cherished, priceless Tsahìk. Which he had promised the world.

PLEASE READ. If you're a bit confused about why Tonowari is now feeling bad please read this. I know it's a bit of a cliche for the main love interest to so suddenly feel bad without even understanding the M/C's emotions. Tonowari actually did understand. In the time that he was alone, he realized that he thought you were so 'nagging' because he never even spent time with you. Since he only spent a few moments with you at the max, his image of you changed to you asking him to spend more time with him. Which resulted in him thinking you were so 'nagging'. He realized that he was a douchebag for thinking that way and he began to put the pieces together!

shelli's note. So.. I didn't expect His Promise to get that much love. Obviously, when my fics reach 1,000+ likes I get so stoked. It's amazing really, I'm genuinely thankful for the support.

synopsis: you and your beloved making memories <3

wc: 417

a/n: had the urge to write so here you go . just tsu'tey being a sweetheart ♡

The morning light shined through your home and the Great Mother pulled you up for another self-journey on Pandora. You glanced to your side and saw your mate, Tsu'tey clenching onto your side as you sat upwards.

"Ma Tsu'Tey", you softly spoke while lightly stroking his scalp and forehead. "I have to prepare for the today, yawntu."

"Mmm..", he groggily grumbled at me. "No."

Before you could say anything this big baby grabbed your entire body and carried you closer to him. You squeaked a bit and then tried to resist his strength.

"TeyTey I must go and complete my tasks.", you said to him.

"Why must you go when we fought the battle with a victory?", he breathed out with his voice which was now clear and firm. He was not always like this but lately, after the battle with the Skypeople, he was very clingy.

When the whole mess was solved he always came back to you with a pounding headache and a sore body which you would later massage as he dozed off.

"Come on yawne, I must leave.", you finally said, clearly putting your foot down. He then accepted defeat and let you go from the tight cuddling.

You got up and began cutting up some meat for the morning meal. While Tsu'tey also slowly began to make his way up from bed groaning. He stretched and got up on his two feet whilst gradually treading to you.

He placed his arm on your waist and pulled you in as you separated the meat into portions.

"What are you cooking?", he asked.

"Teylu stew", you spoke with a grin shinier that the morning sun. "Your favorite."

He beamed at you then buried his face in your neck and shoulder before placing an innocent kiss on your cheek.

Then he walked over to another weaved bowl filled with his trinkets and neckpieces. As he filled up his time in wearing his accessories you placed the stew on top of the fire and the room reminisced in a heavenly atmosphere. So were most mornings and days.

When the stew was cooked you both sat down and started eating the food the Great Mother had blessed your home.

Tsu'tey of course finished it all very quickly before you could even take a bite to see if there was enough salt.

"Could I have another bowl tìyawn?", he softly spoke at you like a child.

You gave a light chuckle and picked up the dish.

"Of course."

synopsis. You have a nightmare, Jake comforts you through it.

shelli's note. divider credit on @saradika! go check out their blog :)

"Shh, it's just a nightmare.", said Jake next to you in the bed you shared. A drop of cold sweat ran down your forehead as you woke up while breathing heavily. You, still in panic, frantically looked around the room. Whatever you were having a nightmare about was still haunting you. It was etched on your face.

"Hey, hey. Look at me.", Jake added, placing his hand on your shoulder earning a panicked look from you. Which then softened, once met with his sweet gaze. His words laced with care.

"I- I thought-" The words coming out were a bit shaken up. You needed some time to calm down before speaking again. Running your hand through your hair Jake spoke.

"It's okay, take your time. I'm right here." Oh Eywa. How sweet he was, you thought. You took a deep breath and said again.

"I thought you were gone."

"You know I would never leave you. Ever.", he said with a soft voice. "You know that, right?"

"Yes, I know.", you replied, rubbing your sleepy eyes as your hair fell on your face a bit.

His gaze melted as he saw your vulnerable state. Your shut your eyes as you rubbed your temples to try and put your mind at ease.

"Got a headache, sweetcheeks?", he asked. His deep, husky voice sending a small shiver down your spine. Something that you could never get used to, but you definitely weren't complaining about.

He chuckled softly to himself. Something told you that he noticed your little shiver, but you focused on getting over this nightmare that so greatly haunted you.

"Srane." [Yes], you replied in a softer tone, your eyes still shut. Until they suddenly pried open, to yourself in Jake's arms, bridal style. It certainly caught you off guard but you eased into it a second later.

The woven hammock rocked just slightly. And the moonlight caused a darkness in the hut you both shared. It gave you comfort. Along with Jake's arms. His body radiated a warmth you wanted to surround yourself with.

As he laid on the hammock with you on top of him he let out a sigh of contentment. Without hesitation, your head gently rested on his broad chest. You could hear his steady heartbeat. It gave you tranquillity.

"What's on your mind?", he questioned while gently stroking your hair away so he could lay his eyes on your beautiful, azure face once again. "You said, you thought you lost me?"

"Why is that?", he continued, bombarding you with questions.

Your eyes still shut you responded, "I'm not sure, Jake." Your words come out with a big sigh of weariness. After the silence and his watch lurking on your face, searching for any emotion, you continue.

"I do not understand what I'm doing. I feel as if I make one foolish mistake and everything falls apart. This is what haunts me." Your mind starts to remember a few bitter memories from saying this, and your eyes begin to get glossier.

"Hey, hey, hey.", he whispered, cupping your chin softly to make you glance at him. "The only foolish mistake you making right now is not believing in yourself."

"Okay?", he asks, his gaze lingering on your lips more than your eyes for a second more.

"Okay."

Jake's eyes narrowed as he looked at yours, as you melt into his arms once again. He never got tired of feeling you in his arms. He felt as if Eywa herself made you how you are to fit perfectly into his hands.

Looking down at your face his lips curled into a smirk.

"I think I know how to make you feel better."

wc: 265

a/n: i wrote this because i needed to heal from some angst i read

affection !

so he'll never tell you this but he absolutely craves your touch (wholesome way). it could be a stroke on the arm or a kiss and he's happy for the next 5 minutes until he craves it again. you've chosen to live with this and lo'ak is obviously content with that. and with that being said you of course then smother him with kisses when you notice. he'd even go so far to hurt himself just for you to heal him and give him kisses on his "boo-boos".

"your little plants aren't enough! i need your kisses to heal it" (he said dramatically while faking being sarcastic because in reality, we know he wanted those kisses.)

"stop being a child, lo'ak! i am tired!"

(gasping dramatically) "you don't love me, my syulang?"

(you then came over to him and planted manyyyy kisses on his bruised forehead.)

"of course, i love you" (you said dramatically, playing into his little joke.)

"now go to the bed i'll come in a second."

(with the now change in tone from dramatic to serious he flew to the bed.)

"yes, ma'am."

+ random bonus !

you're one of the only people he trusts with his emotions. lo'ak usually expresses them by being a reckless leash kid but you help him dig deeper. even when he isn't feeling himself he turns back to you so you could build him back up again .

aka. he takes a nap in your arms until he feels better. you make his fruit snacks and sweet talk him. he falls asleep again. it's a cycle. you get used to it.

pairing: ao'nung x sully omaticaya na'vi fem!reader

genre: fluff, SFW

synopsis: A new side of Ao'nung?

wc: 1.4k

a/n: btw, it's been a while for them. a couple of days at the max.

Me and Ao'nung were soundly asleep for at least 3 hours. He was lying down upwards, his back facing the sand and I was right next to him. With my hand on his broad, cold chest and my leg on his as my face lay on his shoulders. I was half-asleep and could hear waves crashing. Then I heard something but my mind decided to ignore it because I was tired from swimming for hours. My forehead was leaning toward Ao'nung's lean cheeks and I could feel them getting warmer. I decided to ignore it and then my body naturally shifted to get more comfortable as I let out a deep, loud sigh. Sooner or later I was holding Ao'nung close like we were mates. I heard someone playfully snicker. I opened my eyes slightly and I saw Ao'nung smirking. Before I even had time to think I blurted out, "Shut up, go back to sleep." And shut my eyes. Then I could feel Ao'nung's neck and cheeks burn. And I realized what I just said. I quickly took my head off his chest and looked him in the eye. His piercing blue eyes containing eye contact while looking amusingly. Where was the shy, awkward boy before? Guess he's "all that" once I don't make any flirty remarks.

It was silent for a bit and I could feel my own face feeling hot. Then he started laughing revealing his shiny smile and lovable chuckle. I was about to put him in his place, but I physically couldn't say anything. I was too embarrassed. I started unintentionally moping. Which made him laugh even more causing him even to tear up. "OK OK... Laugh it up jeez.", I said while glaring. "Oh gosh, that's cute...", he replied while smiling wiping a little tear from the laughing. I wasn't going to let him have the upper hand, so I pushed him down on the ground. "Napping with you is comfortable, tanhì", he softly spoke. I pinned him down and was going to look him dead in the eye but something came over me. He was acting like we were mates and I liked it? Maybe it was the salty air or him calling me tanhì. Or maybe my stomach grumbling so much. I was about to say something when the others came. "Guys we're going to the village center! ..", exclaimed Tsireya before quieting down and looking at us. I quickly got off him, smiled, and walked past her and everyone. After that, I swiftly peeked back at him seeing his lips curve upward looking at me. I glared back amused at a new face of his personality he's never shown, ( at least not to me ) before turning my body fully back. He winked and then we all went to the village center. Turns out, that today was a celebration and everyone was gathering. When we reached there people were dancing and eating. The children were together playing with all sorts of colorful seashells. Some older men and women brought out food of all colors. I was intrigued, examining each and every spice. It was very different from what we had back home.

Tsireya brought us some meals and handed them out. I was observing the Metkayinas dancing so happily. I guess one thing didn't change between both clans. Dance. I had recognized the dances they were performing so gracefully. Everyone was laughing and smiling, eating and dancing. The atmosphere was so warm. Ao'nung then sat next to me, quietly eating off his own plate. Then I heard a local that was dancing exclaim for the young Na'vi to come out and dance. There were a few mates that stood up and started dancing in unison. To none of our surprise, Tsireya stood up dragging Lo'ak behind her. I chuckled in the face of Lo'ak's embarrassment. It really did look fun and I was a bit rusty but something yearned me to go. Back home I was of course known for all my strength skills and my hunting abilities. But I was also best known for my dancing, I was the best in the village. At least that's what everyone said. The local from before then took my hand and pulled me to my feet. They then exclaimed, "Anybody care to join this young Na'vi?". He looked out into the crowd and his eye caught Ao'nung. "You! Olo'eyktan's son", he blankly stared until the crowd cheered him up. I took his hand and placed it on my hip. He seemed so shocked at first but then with the drums beating and all the other people dancing he gave in. We both swayed to the beat.

The excited suspense of the music gets louder. My sweat dripping off my forehead as we both smiled. Lost in the moment, as the crowd grew louder.

I knew that the song was about to finish because I had listened to it so many times. My legs had gotten so tired because of the lack of practice. But Ao'nung's chuckle kept me through it. He was like a sunset just before eclipse. He looked like he was having fun. With me. I got lost in the beat, then Ao'nung swept me off my feet so quickly I couldn't see him. As I was about to fall he caught me. We were both so close to each other I could smell the scent of ocean salt in his hair. And his briny lips. Just inches away. Then the music stopped. The song was over. There was silence for a second until suddenly everyone shot up and cheered for us all. I had forgotten the excitement of all of this. I missed my home. My friends and "neighbors" as Dad would call them. I snapped back to reality and saw Ao'nung beaming the warmest smile ever. He picked me to my feet and then we both laughed. The crowd then joined the dance circle and everyone started partying more. I and Ao'nung got pushed out of the circle, which was getting really big. "Want to get out of here?", Ao'nung asked. "Yes, please.", I replied finishing off my last chuckles until my stomach hurt. Nobody had ever made me feel this way. It was so surprising Ao'nung did. He then grabbed my hand and dragged me to the shore. We found a stunning spot next to the coral. Which were shining so brightly when I turned around I could see them in Ao'nung's icy cold eyes. "I didn't know you knew Na'vi dancing?", he said. I softly chuckled and then shifted my head back to looking at the water. "Well, that's because I'm Na'vi just like you. Not a freak.", I replied with a nonchalant tone. He looked at me stunned. His face was buried in deep regret and sorrow as if he was sorry. Then he tilted his head facing away from me, ashamed of his past actions. In the moment of actually doing those actions, he knew he was in the wrong. And that he ultimately was wrong for doing them.

"Hey.." "What's wrong?", I asked then muttered in the softest voice I could. He turned around to me, the icy cold eyes I knew had turned into a droopy, dull grey color. "Do you.. hate me?", he asked in a voice so low I almost couldn't hear him. I looked at him with disbelief, of course he had done all those horrible things but I for one believed in second chances. I believed he could change. I glanced into his mesmerizing eyes as he tried to read my face for any anger, disgust, or sorrow. "Ao'nung. Of course, I don't.", I said to him reassuring his every doubt. "I'm glad, thank you Y/N.", he replied with a beam on his blue face which was now turning a bit red. I then pulled him in for a hug and he then pulled me in closer. Holding in the embrace for as long as he could. I let go and smiled back at him. He looked at me enchanted looking at every little feature. Not taking in the beautiful night sky in front of us but me who was in front of him. "You're so beautiful, yawne."

My cheeks suddenly flushed at his sudden comment. First, tanhì and now yawne.. he was getting comfortable, alright. I looked into his eyes with curiosity and interest. Searching his eyes for something more. It suddenly hit him and he looked away in embarrassment seeing the reality of what he had just said. To him, he was just stating what was obvious in his mind. And so he blurted it out, for you and him to hear. He always admired you from afar, taking in the minor details.

The way you wear your beads on your waist. Or the way you play with your hands when excited. He loved every part of you, even if he wasn't able to say it aloud. Until.. now.

I saw his hand on the sand next to me. Trying to clench the sand out of embarrassment. I placed my hand gently on top of his, gaining his attention. His hand than lost all the tension and he calmed down. Ao'nung turned around and looked at me with a desperation that I would return his love. The waves soothingly crashed beside us and we could still hear the muffled music from the gathering.

His beautifully cold, icy eyes sunk into my yellow, ashy ones and he leaned over. Ao'nung's hand slowly cupped my jaw as he leaned closer.

I could feel my cheeks rising with heat. I leaned in closer until I heard walking. Ao'nung stopped as he noticed someone and awkwardly jumped back to where he was sitting.

I looked over and saw Tsireya and some of the others following behind her. Thank Eywa she didn't see us. That would be a whole other fuss. She looked at us all confused about why we were together. Alone. Staring at the ocean and night sky. Seemed a bit romantic. I quickly snatched away my hand from Ao'nung's and beamed her a smile. She leaned over to us and said, "The festivities are over! It's time for sleep!".

"Thank you for telling me, Tsireya.", I replied.

We both got up and I grabbed Ao'nung's hand, helping him from the sand. He looked at me disappointed. Not disappointed in me but in the interruption.

I and Tsireya started walking back to the marui, so we said our byes, and then she was off to her pod. I was trying so hard to shake off what had just happened and not drop down and start giggling.

But, Ao'nung was beside me. So I tried to brush it off and slowly walk away from awkwardness. Then, Ao'nung carefully took my forearm stopping me.

"Wait- but..", he muttered. I knew exactly what he was trying to say but he couldn't bring himself to say it. So I thought being nonchalant would be the best way to approach him. "What, syulang?", I replied with my most gentle, loving voice. I figured I would keep up with the pet names as well. His ears perked up at the sound of me calling him syulang, he loved it apparently.

"I- uhm." Me being me I decided to take initiative. I went closer and wrapped my hands around his neck. Going on my tippy toes pulling him in closer. I set my lips on his and closed my eyes. The back of his neck was growing warmer and I gave him the most passionate kiss. I knew he was shocked and sooner or later I felt him calm down his nerves and sink into me. His arms were on my hips and he pulled me in closer to him.

He cupped my jaw and put his hair through my braids. Just like he'd been waiting for this moment his entire life. I pulled away from him and he gazed at me processing what had happened and he beamed with the biggest smile.

My hand slowly got off his neck and I pried away from him. I brushed his cheek and started walking away to my marui. Then I stopped and said, "See you tomorrow, yawntutsyìp..". With the lovey-dovey smile, I had on before. He looked at me, his mouth was still a bit open. Admiring my collected manner, staring at me with his usual heart eyes. That I'll admit, I missed.
