When toddler!Spider learns his Dad has a name:
Tsu’tey giving Spider some fruit after the kid is exhausted from a hard afternoon of mischief
Toddler Spider: Thank you Tsu’tey
Takes adorably big bite of fruit that is too big for him despite Tsu’tey cutting it up
Tsu’tey: No, I am Dad to you. Not Tsu'tey.
Toddler Spider with a toothless grin and juice dripping down his chin: Tsu’tey
Tsu’tey: I am not Tsu’tey to you, I am Dad!
Toddler Spider: But Tsu’tey-
Tsu’tey: I do not know who Tsu’tey is. I am Dad.
Toddler Spider: Nuuuuuu
Tsu’tey turning helplessly to Jake who is trying to convince baby Lo’ak to eat his fruit: How do I handle this?

Toddler Spider sitting on the lab floor playing with Tsu’tey’s tail. He’s got his shoes on the wrong feet - Norm had to fight him to put them on but didn’t have the strength for round two to fix them. He’s also dressed in one of Jake’s old shirts - he doesn’t need those now - which had been cut down to size so it’s a top and not a dress on him.
The rest of the scientists are very busy with a potential breakthrough, whilst Tsu’tey wanted to get out of watching Jake fail to keep Lo’ak in line. The hunter is endlessly curious about Spider, and in turn, the toddler is infatuated with Tsu’tey.
Norm definitely left Spider in Tsu’tey’s care without giving him a warning or a headsup, so he’s just stuck babysitting until one of the Sky Demons remember to come check on the kid. (Tsu’tey is too ennamoured with the tiny human to say no, even if Norm did ask. Also, Spider’s peels of laughter make his ears flick which just make him laugh harder and it’s the purest thing he’s ever witness).
ANYWAY, Spider is sitting beside this enormous blue alien that could easily hold him in the palm of his hand despite being three. He’s currently combing his stubby little fingers through the soft hairs at the end of Tsu’tey’s tail, grinning wildly at the way the limb jumps and wiggles under his grasp.
Tsu’tey is just watching him. A soft expression his face that he would deny wearing even after he’s returned to Eywa.
Spider completely catches him off guard by suddenly turning to him and stating proudly, “you’re my best fwend Daddy.”
He says it casually. A simple fact. And then returns to clumsily poking at the stripes carved into Tsu’tey’s tail.
Tsu’tey on the other hand is stunned into silence. Even his tail goes still despite the ticklish feeling of tiny fingers running all over it.
Daddy?
Spider just referred to him as Daddy.
He’s grinning before he can stop himself. All his fangs pushing out from behind his lips hard enough that his mouth aches. Spider saw him as his Dad. Eywa, he couldn’t wait to rub it in Jake’s face that Spider called him Dad before Neteyam called Jake Dad.
Meanwhile, Spider is completely oblivious to the chaos he has just started.
Whilst, Tsu’tey is fighting the urge to squeeze this kid tightly enough to pop him because the cuteness aggression that is kicking in stronger than he’s ever felt before.
It takes him several breathes to calm himself. To stop looking at Spider with heart eyes and a burning need to take him home. He would fit in perfectly among the na’vi kids his age, and Tsu’tey is sure that with enough work, the People would grow to love him as feircely as Tsu’tey was beginning to love him.
Somehow he finds his voice, and replies simply, “You’re MY best friend.”
Spider stares up at him with starry eyes. If his ears could move, they’d be flapping with joy at the quiet admittance.
