JEALOUSY

Warnings: p in v, kinda public sex,

You were only a young na’vi, a small girl who didn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

When Lo‘ak first met you, you were talking to Neteyam, he watched from afar whilst playing with his favorite, wooden toy. His only thought of you at that moment was ‘pretty girl’.

The next day swung by and Lo’ak was determined to be friends with you. “Oel ngati kameie.” Lo’ak greeted with enthusiasm, the seven year old boy stood in front of your taller figure as you were leaned on a tree with your arms folded.

You were only a few months older than him and a couple inches taller than him, however he didn’t feel intimidated nor threatened. The top you wore which was made up of old bones and thick leaves clunked as you walked away from Lo’ak, muttering “Demon” as you passed him.

The young boy stood there nonplussed, he was in this state because he had no idea why that word would be used on him so often by other members of the clan.

His confusion led him to his family’s home, standing right in front of his father as he inquisitively asked why everyone was calling him ‘demon’.

Jake’s eyes widened and he felt hurt and embarrassed, all of the emotions soon turned into anger, “Son, who told you this?” Jake asked, “A girl, Neteyam’s friend.” Lo’ak murmured.

Jake became more calm upon hearing that the words were being spat from an immature child’s mouth, “Neteyam.” Jake called his eldest son who sat in the hut, Neteyam turned his head towards his father, straying his attention away from the arrow he was sharpening.

“Tell your friends to stop picking on Lo’ak, please.” Jake instructed with a firm voice, “Okay.” Neteyam shrugged while standing to his feet and running out the hut.

Jake lowered himself to Lo’ak, “You are not a demon, you hear me.” Jake spoke to Lo’ak, Lo’ak simply nodded, not really understanding the situation.

Later on that same day, Neteyam gathered all his friends, including you. “My dad says to stop bullying Lo’ak.” Neteyam says almost with a carefree tone, “Okay, wanna go play now?” Some of his other friends say and he nodded eagerly.

“Can I play too?” Lo’ak asks from behind, “No, only real na’vi are allowed.” You taunt, Neteyam gives you a stern look coming from his soft features, “What did I just say.” Neteyam reminds, “Ugh! Fine.” You utter while folding your arms.

Lo’ak smiles and stands beside you, you glowered at him who only gave you a wide smile in return.

Time passed, you all grew. Lo’ak found some friends and you couldn’t lie, your relationship with him grew slightly, but not in a good way. You saw each other everyday, only for you to mutter something rude to him and he’d get riled up.

You were thirteen and he was twelve, you were closer to Neteyam as compared to Lo’ak and Lo’ak hated that for a reason apart from you being his bully and also his brother’s best friend. Maybe it was jealousy.

On a warm, bright day, Alpha Centauri shone rays of blissful yellowness onto a high fruit tree, making the premature fruits look more appealing.

Lo’ak and Neteyam both climbed the tree in hopes of finding a ripe, bright red juicy fruit to dive into on this warm day. “Look this one is red!” Lo’ak shouted to Neteyam who hung from another branch on the tree, Lo’ak stayed sitting on a wide branch as Neteyam swung over to him.

Neteyam examined the fruit, smiling at Lo’ak, “Good job, baby bro.” Neteyam picked the large red fruit, and both boys climbed down the tree.

“Hey skxawngs, the fruits aren’t ripe yet.” You made your way to the pair, Lo’ak couldn’t take his eyes off of you, his childhood crush stayed constant as he grew into a preteen.

“This one is.” Neteyam said while taking a bite, then showing the inside, “Hm.” Lo’ak watched as you inspected the red, clearly ripe fruit, as the fruit stayed in Neteyam’s hand, you took a bite, “Guess you were right.” You said.

Lo’ak watched as the red juices of the fruit dropped down your chin and travelled between your breasts, Neteyam quickly used his thumb to wipe your lips and you have him a small smile.

Lo’ak felt his heart drop, “Eww.” Lo’ak played off his jealousy shielding it with disgust. You simply rolled your eyes before walking away, letting your hips sway as you made your way back to your home.

Neteyam simply smiled as he looked at his brother, who’s eyes were glued to your figure, Neteyam only scoffed before walking away as well, taking another bite from the fruit.

The day after, several young na’vi united when training with some older teenagers, standing beside Lo’ak you held your bow, straightening your back as you pulled back the bowstring. “Oel ngati kameie.” Lo’ak heard a deeper voice greet, he watched as you placed your bow to your side and brought your hand to your forehead before lowering it to your side, signing the greeting.

“Need some help?” The older boy asked, you simply shook your head, “You’ve got bad posture though.” Lo’ak heard the boy fib as he trailed his hand down to your back, he pushed on your soft skin causing your chest to jut.

“You sure this is the right stance?” you asked with uncertainty, “Yeah, lemme just fix your legs.” The boy continued, “Actually she had the correct position before.” Lo’ak took all his courage and balled it up into that sentence.

Both you and the boy who’s touch still lingered on your skin casted your attention to Lo’ak , “What do you know, halfbreed?” The older boy spat. You gasped before prying his hand off your back, “Don’t call him that!” you hissed.

“It’s true, no?” The older boy kept going, “Stop, his father is Olo'eyktan!” you warned, “Leave him alone.” you finalized with a scowl, the older boy grunted before walking away.

You shook your head before turning to Lo’ak who looked at you, almost lovingly, you could come up with anything to say so you just looked into his eyes as your chest begun to feel weighty, your throat felt oddly dry and your face felt scalding.

You coughed straightening your back sheepishly while turning away from him, continuing your practice.

_________________________

You didn’t know what had happened, or how it happened, how he came to be this way, his good boy phase was apparently over, the shy and sensitive Lo’ak you knew before was defunct.

He took this role of the family’s rebel, the bad boy, in your honest opinion, he seemed more like his family’s screw up than whatever bad boy image he tried to achieve.

You found yourself growing closer to him, not so much for Neteyam, you had different reasons for each brother. Neteyam was growing busy and barely had time for friends however you both were still close ,just not as close as compared to old times.

For Lo’ak, he begun corresponding to your energy, for every insult you threw he’d exchange an even more disrespectful one, which started to annoy you because sometimes they were way out of line.

Irritatingly, your relationship was something indescribable, you sort of hated him, or did you, because he’d always make your heart skip a beat and your face heat up whenever he was close to you.

Or whenever your friends would tease you about him.

“Hey, five-fingers, where’re you going?” You questioned, “The lab.” he responded whilst turning to you, you couldn’t help but appreciate the size he was now, almost towering over you, his voiced deepened and surely didn’t sound the same way he sounded two years ago, his chiseled chest and stomach and instead of having a full head of braids like Neteyam he halfway shaved both sides above his ear.

“Why do you wanna come with me?” He asked with a sly smile, “I’d rather not go into that alien ship.” You scoffed, with steady eyes, Lo’ak examined your body, “You look different.” He comments, the skin above your eyes raise and you feel heavy all of a sudden.

“‘Think your chest got flatter.” He judged with a chuckle, “You’re disgusting.” You say before attempting to walk away, he grabbed you just below your shoulder, yanking you forward. “C’mon, I gotta show you something.” He urged.

“But I don’t wanna.” You whined, he pulled you by your hand, leading you into the lab, opening the door and quickly shutting it once you’re inside. “I swear Lo’ak if you’re trying to kill me.”

“I’d probably do other things to you before killing you.” He muttered with a straight face, “Nasty.” you pushed his back as he led you into a room.

“‘Kay, hold on.” He told you while pulling two chairs, the room was not too big, dimly lit with purplish-white lighting, leaned to the wall was a table with at least four black screens. “C’mon.” He patted the chair beside him.

“Norm showed me.” he eagerly professed, you took a set next to him, feeling your body sink into the soft material, you looked upon the table eyeing the rectangular object which had keys of letters on it.

Lo’ak pressed the blank long key located at the bottom, one of the black screens quickly lit up, “What’s PornHub?” You asked, “Uh, I dunno Norm showed me something called PacMan I think this is like the same thing.” Lo’ak recalled.

Lo’ak click the space bar once again, and the screen begun to move, “How is it moving?” You asked, “You talk too much.” Lo’ak criticized.

The both of you watched as one of the sky people came onto the screen, she wore minimal clothes, “Where’s the button to go forward.” Lo’ak questioned himself while examining the keyboard, “Is this the PacMan?” You questioned, with a singular finger Lo’ak clicked a button and the video changed.

The human was screaming as another human banged her from the behind, Lo’ak’s eyes widened and you instantly begun yelling, you leaned back, falling off the inconvenient small chair, prurient sounds came out of the screen as Lo’ak clicked every button to make it stop.

Soon Norm entered the room, running up to the desktop and shutting it off. “What’s going on here?” Norm asked as his face changed into a deep red color, “I was trying to show her Pac-Man!” Lo’ak defended himself, you rose from the ground.

“Did she die?” You asked, Norm looked between the two na’vi, “A—Just get out.” Lo’ak pulled on your wrist as he dragged you out the lab.

Both of you were out of breath when you came out the lab, Lo’ak’s hand still wrapped around your wrist, resultantly, you yanked your hand out of his, creating distance between both of you.

Lo’ak looked back at the lab, “Shit, I’m going back there tonight.” He expressed enthusiastically with a smirk, you huffed out a breath, “I hate you” you began, taking a second to exhale once again, “So much.” You finished.

“So that’s what they call it, I knew that word sounded familiar.” Lo’ak spoke to himself, “I wonder what your father would think of this.” You mutter. Lo’ak only scoffed, “C’mon don’t kill my mood with your bitching.” Lo’ak uttered.

“We can try out that position if it’ll make you feel better.” Lo’ak smirked, “Hell no, the lady was screaming, I’m sure that would probably hurt.” You scrunched your face.

“She’s screaming cuz’ it was feeling too good.” He explained shamelessly, “What do you know about women, the only vagina you were ever in was your mother’s.” you replied.

“Haha.” Lo’ak sarcastically laughed, “I could be in yours.” He followed up saying, “I’d rather have fruit flies eat my organs.” You remarked.

“I’m sure your mom would let me hit.” Lo’ak joked as you both began to walk to your homes, you rolled your eyes at his immature, boyish behavior, “I’m sure Neteyam would let me hit.” You parroted, suddenly Lo’ak tensed and his jaw clenched.

He walked forward quickening his pace, “Oh Eywa, Lo’ak I’m joking.” You groaned, “I hate when you do this.” You yell when the distance between both of you only swelled.

You rolled your eyes, taking a turn to your home.

When Lo’ak entered his family’s abode, Jake’s eyes pointed on his figure, “Where were you?” Jake questioned while sharpening a spear, “With a friend.” Lo’ak said in an annoyed tone, “And what you and your friend fought? Or is it the teenage hormones giving you that attitude?” Jake questioned.

Lo’ak clenched his jaw, dropping his pride, “How do you know if a girl likes you?” Lo’ak asks, Jake’s eyebrows immediately raise and Neytiri pokes her head up from the hammock. Lo’ak automatically regrets speaking.

“Uh well–“ Jake sighs, “Who is the special girl, Lo’ak?” Neytiri immediately emerges from the hammock standing next to her youngest son. “Nevermind.” Lo’ak quickly shrugs off before exiting his dwelling once again.

Both his parents give each other a knowing look before continuing their activities.

_________________________

The following day the young hunting group decided amongst themselves to organize themselves into groups of two, to find some fruits since the village had recently been low in stock.

You stood between Lo’ak and Neteyam, clearly set on picking Lo’ak, “Hey, wanna be my partner.” Neteyam asked convivially, “Sure.” You matched his energy however the sudden heat you felt behind your head made you reassess your recent decision.

You turned your head, taking a peak of Lo’ak, who sent you a dirty look, when Neteyam left your side to get some baskets as well as other hunting equipment, Lo’ak grabbed your wrist.

“What?” You questioned, Lo’ak knew exactly what he wanted to say and how he was going to say it, however embarrassment washed over him, leaving him just staring at you angrily.

“Look I’m not trying to fuck your brother, I mean even though he’s like perfect, I’m good.” you made yourself clear, “Go ahead, I don’t care what you do.” Lo’ak almost shouted, “So I have your permission?” You ask just to fuck with him.

Lo’ak’s eyes showed a sign of sudden regret, “Alright then.” You say with fake assurance, before Lo’ak could even speak you already found your way at Neteyam’s side, rubbing your hand on his bicep while taking the bow into your other hand.

When everyone finally split up into groups of two Lo’ak picked some random younger boy, his mind was taken over by rage and jealously.

“I found one!” The small boy said to Lo’ak, “That’s a rock you dumba—“ Lo’ak stopped himself, the pair walked deeper into the forest looking for any sign of ripe fruits.

“Look!” The small boy pointed to a tree adorned with bright pink oval shaped fruits, the boy immediately took the bag from Lo’ak’s grip and climbed the tree like an animal ripping the fruit from its branch.

Lo’ak sighed before walking deeper into the forest, however not too far from where he could remember, thoughts flooded his mind of what you were possibly doing now.

And as if Eywa was hearing his desperation he ran into someone’s chest, earning a light groan as he raised his head, “Can you watch where you’re walking.” You spat, Lo’ak felt his eyes light up for a small second, before the doom of his said words came right back to him.

“Where is your–“ before you could finish Lo’ak looked around, “Where is my brother?” , you sighed at his question, “Dunno, I lost him, took a turn and ended up here.” You admitted.

Lo’ak gave you a weird kind of giddy look, “So sad, I lost him before I got to fuck him.” You laughed, upon noticing the sorrowful expression latched onto Lo’ak’s face you frowned.

“I really hate you sometimes.” You look up to him through your eyelashes, biting your lip while placing your hand on the skin where Lo’ak’s neck connected to his shoulder, slowly you brought your face to his. Planting your lips onto his in a swift motion, taking in his soft but also chapped lips.

You placed both your hands on either side of his neck, you felt him back away in shock for a second before giving in, wrapping his arms around your waist, he pulled you closer while angling his face to fully indulge in your soft lips .

You softly groaned onto his lips, feeling the slit between your legs dampen, you pulled away, lips departing as you pushed down his shoulders, he quickly sat on the forest floor, letting the grass poke under his thighs.

You place your knees on either side of one of his thigh, sitting on it before latching your lips onto his once again, he grabbed your hips, pulling you into his clothed crotch.

Your knees pulled together as you slowly used your ass to smoothen his loincloth, you moved your lips onto his neck, dotting kisses onto the sensitive skin, making him wince when you begun sucking that particular spot.

He used his hands to push you onto his crotch and you felt something rise below your ass, “Take it off.” he instructed, you looked down at his loincloth, watching as he untied it and allowed you to slowly pull it off, throwing it to the side.

His large baby blue cock sprung free, hitting his toned stomach, his length on full display only made your pussy dampen even more, without a warning you eagerly pulled off everything, Lo’ak relished himself in the teasing feeling as your top dropped beside him.

In one swift motion, he gripped the sides of your face capturing your lips, “I love you so much.” He panted, “And I fucking need you.” He groans as his intensely hard cock pulsed for attention.

“You sure you wanna?” He asks, you only hummed in response as you turned yourself around, your plump, curvaceous ass faced him which only caused his cock to tense.

Grabbing his dick, stroking him before guiding the tip to your wet pussy, slowly rubbing yourself with his cock, you heard him groan and you turned your head, watching as he looked directly at your back, face scrunching in pleasure.

Slowly you sunk into him, your soft ass touched the skin where his cock met his lower stomach. Sitting between his thighs you placed your hands on either one of his thighs, hauling yourself up, so that only his tip stood inside you.

With one quick drop, you anchored yourself down onto him, gasping when you suddenly felt that fullness, it made a rush of pleasurable sensations poke at your body.

Lo’ak’s eyebrows raised and he clenched his jaw, “Fuck, y’feel too good.” Lo’ak praised, your hum of pleasure slowly turned into a loud moan when you begun to bounce on his dick.

With every time his dick slid up your walls and touched that spongy spot inside you, you couldn’t suppress the raunchy sounds which Lo’ak caused as his cock was deep inside your aching, wet pussy.

Your ass slapped the skin between his thighs and his hands found their way to your sides, assisting in hoisting yourself up his dick and slowly sliding down.

He groaned and suddenly felt a rush of tingles which led him to thrusting his hips forwards and fucking up into you, digging his dick deeper into you.

With a quick motion, he grabbed your sides, slipping himself out of you, pushing your chest to the forest floor, you propped yourself onto your elbows as you looked back at him quickly sliding into you, your already wet cunt allowed him to guide himself into you with ease.

He grabbed your hips and he pounded into you, sending waves of pleasure washing through your entire body, causing something inside your lower stomach to pulse.

Lo’ak brought his foot to dig into the soil beneath him and his knee pushed down onto the ground, anchoring his body weight as he angled himself to thrust deep into your sopping, needy pussy.

“Oh fuck.” You moaned when he touched that one spot which made your knees tremble and your back arch. “Fuck I’m gonna cum.” you groaned, he only thrusted deeper and harder into you, ensuring that you were a bawling mess around his dick.

When his thrusts came into a slow pace, your walls pressed around his cock as you let loose, cumming all over his cock. “Oh fuck.” your tired voice barely made way out of your throat as you descended.

You pushed your ass back onto him, burying his cock deep inside you as you felt his cock tense, you felt him pull out and you looked back where he jerked himself off, his pink tip leaking with cum, he continued to rub in a quick pace, letting excess strings of his white, sticky cum ooze out.

His breaths were quick and unsteady, he pulled your hip to sit on his lap as he caught his breath, “Oh shit, did that just happen.” Lo’ak muttered in an amused tone as you leaned forward to pick your top from the floor.

Lo’ak snatched it out of your hands, helping you clothe yourself. Once you were fully clothed, he slipped on his loincloth, pulling on your wrist as you both walked out the forest.

“I look alright, right?” You asked lightly panicked, Lo’ak looks at your messed up hair, the dirt on your stomach and the missing pieces of your top. “Yeah, just say you got attacked by something.” He assured while fixing his loincloth.

When both of you emerged from the bushes, the only person was Neteyam and Lo’ak’s hunting partner. Neteyam gave you a confused look before widening his eye, “Tell them what you saw.” Neteyam asked the younger boy.

“Lo’ak was hurting her, he had her on the ground and she was screaming.” The small boy pointed, “Go home.” Neteyam told the small boy before casting a disappointed gaze upon the both of you.

— Part One — Part Two — Part Three — Part Four — Part Five

other websites: ao3 // wattpad

Neteyam was already waiting with his family at the High Camp for Y/N's return, who also appeared a few minutes later with her bag. He smiled at her and took her things from her to put them on his Ikran.

He then took her by the hand and helped her onto the Ikran. He sat down behind her and asked if everything was okay and if she was sitting properly. After everyone was ready the Sully family plus Y/N set off for a long journey to a new place.

It was a very long flight and sometimes Y/N couldn't help but nod off slightly. At one point she tipped forward for a brief moment until she quickly woke up and sat up straight again. Nete startled for a brief moment when he saw Y/N tilt forward and quickly reached around her waist with his big arms to pull her tightly against him. Y/N became a little flustered by his gesture and tried to distract herself by looking into the far distance in front of her.

But the distraction didn't last long, as Neteyam continued to make sure she didn't slip off his Ikran due to the headwind and protectively placed his hand on her thigh. Y/N turned her gaze to her right leg, where his warm hand rested, and placed hers over his.

She looked over her shoulder and saw Neteyam looking at her with his big amber eyes. She smiled briefly and then nestled her back against his torso.

The view was stunning. She and the Sully children were amazed as the forest - which was their home - grew thinner and thinner, slowly revealing different new terrains. They made several stops in between so the Ikrans wouldn't be too exhausted and they could grab a snack.

During a night flight it suddenly became very fresh and Y/N started to shiver from the cold of the wind. Neteyam also saw goosebumps forming on her again and remembered that one night in the clearing she had mentioned that people would get goosebumps when they were cold. Unconscious to Y/N, Nete took his poncho and tucked the large head hole over her body so she could get some of its warmth and the harsh wind wouldn't bother her further. Y/N, who was half asleep, didn't even notice what was happening, she just grabbed the fabric with her hands and pulled it closer to her to snuggle into it.

The journey was not easy for all of them, they had to endure a variety of weather conditions the closer they got to the open sea, but after a total of three days the family finally arrived in Awa'atlu.

The closer they got to the village, the more Metkayina became aware of them. A shell horn was heard in the distance to announce the arrival of the strangers, and the inhabitants came closer to the shore with their boats and their sea creatures, as they wanted to examine the family more closely.

As the Sully's circled the village to find the perfect landing spot, a cluster of Na'vi formed around them. Some with a confused look on their faces, others with tense expressions as they could not gauge what they would want from them. After landing, all the family members got off their Ikrans and Neteyam helped Y/N get down as well, putting both hands under her armpits and carrying her down in one motion.

He stayed close to her, not knowing himself how the Metkayina would react to a single human. Even though Y/N would not be a danger on her own, he knew that most of the clans of Pandora were not very fond of humans.

Jake led the family closer to the Metkayina and asked his wife Neytiri to leave her bow with her Ikran for safety. He raised his hands upward and Nete followed with the same gesture to show them that they would come in peace.

Y/N saw the other Na'vi for the first time from a close distance and saw that they looked very different from her Omatikaya friends. Instead of a rich blue, they were turquoise in color and their markings looked different as well. In addition, some had dark tattoos in different patterns adorning their faces and bodies. They had wider forearms and narrower but muscular shoulders and their tails were also wider, without a fluffy tip, they looked more like a tail fin. It wasn’t hard to miss that these were reef Na'vi that had adapted to their environment over the centuries.

As they now stood in the middle surrounded by the different looking Na'vi, two boys, probably the same age as Neteyam and Lo'ak came out of the crowd to survey them. Since Jake had said earlier that they should be nice to them, the two Sully boys greeted the others in a formal manner. They took their half-closed hands to their foreheads and then moved them in a downward arc away from their bodies. The other two boys just laughed at their gesture and started making fun of the family's appearance. They pointed their fingers at their tails and said, "Look at their tails, so tiny!"

Nete bent his head down and looked at the white sand, while Lo'ak rolled his eyes in annoyance. But then the two Metkayina noticed Y/N next to Neteyam. Their facial expressions changed from now on when they saw the human girl and both contorted their faces, visibly upset by her presence.

Y/N also formally greeted them with the hand gesture, but they only made fun of her attempt and snickered into their hands. They stared at her more closely and began to circle her.

Nete's gaze shot to the side, watching them how they treated his friend. He couldn't do much about it either though, he didn't want to upset his father again right away. But when the Metkayina boys took a strand of Y/N's hair in their hand, pulled on it, and Y/N let out a pained groan, Neteyam grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the action, away from the curious grabbers.

But now that Y/N was standing in the middle of the commotion, all the onlookers took notice of her too. There were shouts, who called her a "demon" or even hissing could be heard. Y/N became nervous and more anxious. She wondered if it was really the right decision to come along. Her eyes turned from person to person and she quickly realized that she was not welcomed. The two boys started fooling around again. "How are they supposed to swim?" "What are they doing with a demon here? I didn't know they were so ugly from up close!" A young woman who had just come out of the water quickly walked between them and slapped their hands away when they wouldn't stop pointing their fingers at her. She too looked at Y/N, but with a different look. She seemed curious and not repulsed by her.

Only moments later, the Olo'eyktan of the clan also approached them on a huge flying fish with a spear in his hand and his mate close on his heels. The whole family greeted the leader together this time and his wife came closer.

"I see you, Ronal" Jake greeted her one more time. She did not return this, however, and Tonowari began to speak. "Why do you come to us?" His gaze now drifted to the human Y/N, "And why did you bring one of the Sky People with you?" Jake ignored the last question for now and replied with, "We seek uturu," gesturing with raised arms at his family standing behind him.

Tonowari looked at the family with a pitiful look. "We are reef people, you are forest people" Ronal, the Tsahík walked with slow steps around the Sully's and looked closely at each one. She grabbed Neytiri's tail, which the Omatikaya woman did not like at all. She then appraised Tuk and took her arm. "Their arms are thin" Tuk then quickly withdrew her arm and clung to her mother's leg. "Their tails are weak. They will be slow in the water"

She then stood directly in front of Kiri and took both of her hands in hers. "These children have five fingers. They are no real Na'vi!"

Kiri was visibly irritated by her remark and angrily replied, "Yes we are!" Ronal continued to walk through the Sully family and held up Lo'ak's hand. "The have demon blood," Ronal exclaimed and gasping could be heard. Jake tried to de-escalate the situation and showed her his hand, which was also adorned by five fingers. Neytiri interfered and mentioned Jake's title. "My husband was Toruk Makto" This didn't help either because Ronal now spotted Y/N who was still standing anxiously next to Neteyam. She didn't look Y/N in the eye and only gave her a snarl "Why did you bring her?" No one really knew how to answer, but Jake finally took the initiative. "This is Y/N, she is a family member of ours. She doesn't have parents anymore and we take care of her"

"We can't grant her uturu. She is not a Na'vi. It seems that Eywa has turned her back to you" Ronal replied and turned to Jake "Please let her stay here with us. She poses no danger and she can be useful. She quickly learned the ways of the Omatikaya and was also well tolerated by them" The Tsahík just shook her head "She could lure more humans here and betray us" Jake tried one more time. "Without her my children wouldn't be alive Ronal, Tonowari. She betrayed and killed her own people to save them. She also saved my wife's life" During the last sentence he nudged his mate Neytiri so she could confirm his statement. She didn't really want to acknowledge that Y/N had saved her life in the forest, since after years she still only tolerated her and didn't accept her in the family as her husband did. With a long sigh she said: "Yes, the human child saved my life. She had shot a soldier with her bow, who otherwise would have discovered me." Her children were quite surprised, since they were never told what had happened before their rescue in the forest.

Jake pleaded. "Please let us stay here. We and Y/N can help you and will quickly learn your ways. You won't even realize that we are forest people or humans."

The atmosphere changed as Ronal now faced Neytiri. You could almost cut the air with a knife. They maintained intense eye contact as Ronal wanted to know if she was speaking the truth. Neytiri continued to look into Ronal's bright blue eyes and began to hiss. Showing her fangs, the Tsahìk didn't put up with it either and hissed back. Jake once again intervened and apologized for Neytiri's behavior. Y/N also sensed the tense mood and desperately searched for Neteyam's hand with her own without taking her eyes off of what was happening. "Do not apologize for me," Neytiri said, perplexed by her mate's statement. "The journey was long and she is exhausted" He tried everything to smooth the waters. Tonowari, who like Jake didn't want a fight between the women, now spoke to his clan "Toruk Makto is a great war leader, but we are not at war. If he says that the human is loyal to them, then it will be so"

"I just wanna keep everyone safe. Please.", pleaded Jake once more.

The clan leader and the Tsahík discussed in silence. Tonowari showed his wife with his eyes that Jake was speaking the truth and they had to help them.

She was still not convinced - she trusted her husband, but humans couldn't be trusted after the last war. In the end, however, she gave in to her mate and it was decided.

The Sully's and Y/N would be allowed to stay. "It has been decided. Toruk Makto, his family and their human will stay with us. Treat them as our own. They will be like babies taking their first breath" Jake and the family were more than relieved that they were allowed to stay after all. Y/N was also happy for the family and for herself that they showed faith in her and she would do anything not to disappoint them. She looked up at her friend Nete and gave him a bright smile. "We did it, Nete" she said. And he, too, was happy that he could still continue to spend his time with her.

Tonowari once again admonished Jake, "Don't be useless."

He nodded his head that he understood his words and thanked him one more time. "What do we say?" he asked Tuk, who was now standing next to him. "Thank you"

"My daughter Tsireya and my son Aonung will show your children and the human what to do", added the Olo'eyktan.

The boy who had earlier made fun of the Omatikaya's appearance turned out to be the chief's son and he replied to his father in horror, obviously not satisfied with the situation of having to help them, "Father why do I have to-" He interrupted his son before he could continue. "It has been decided!" and pointed his finger in his face. The girl defending them earlier and looking curiously at Y/N was Tsireya his daughter, making her way to the Sully children and Y/N to show them where they would live now. "Come with me!" she said in a friendly bright voice and everyone started to follow her.

Tsireya led the group to an empty marui where the family was allowed to live for the foreseeable future. The village of the Metkayina was realtively large and between the trees were the various marui of the inhabitants, which were laboriously woven around the century-old roots of the mangroves. They were beautifully interwoven with different patterns that resembled those of the Omatikaya in a way. The paths that connected the village were also woven and braided and gave in a little with each step, so it was easy to hop on them. Tuk quickly found this out as well and jumped after her family full of anticipation. Y/N also hopped along the path a few times before quickly running after the other Na'vi so she wouldn't lose them.

Y/N looked into the water that was visible underneath the path and saw all sorts of colorful coral and small glittering fish unbothered swimming around in swarms. She was amazed. She knew the lakes and rivers of the rainforest, but this was even more beautiful.

A short time later they arrived at their new home and Tsireya welcomed them once more and said that they should rest a little. Tomorrow would be the first day for their training. The proper breathing technique.

Jake was the first to enter the marui and said: "This looks good. You can make a home here" and put both of his hands on his hips and turned to his family.

Neytiri was still not convinced by the whole thing, especially with the encounter with Ronal earlier. She dropped the rug she was carrying the whole time with a groan and sat down. The Sully children and Y/N began to make themselves at home, arguing among themselves about who would sleep where. Tuk also fought fiercely to get a place between Neteyam and Y/N, but as she sat down on her bed, she realized what it would mean to live here, to have to find new friends, and that she would have to learn everything all over again. She slowly began to get home sick and tears began to gather in her eyes. The others were busy with themselves at first and Y/N was the first to notice the soft whimpering from the corner. When she realized it was Tuktirey, she immediately ran to her side and started comforting her. "I want to go home," she cried into Y/N's shoulder. It took some time until she calmed down and her mother explained to her again why they are here now. And in doing so, she promised her that when calm returned, they would visit their grandmother. After the small incident they continued to sort their things and when they were finished, Jake came to the decision that tonight there shouldn't happen much more except dinner, since the last flight was very exhausting for all of them.

They were still eating together as a family alone this evening before they would integrate and eat together with the Metkayina over the next few days. When the meal was over, everyone was kind of busy with themselves. Lo'ak wanted to be alone, Kiri didn't really feel like socializing either since the first encounter with the residents and her didn't really go well, Tuk had already fallen asleep and Jake was trying to cheer up his mate without any success.

Since Y/N wasn't ready to go to sleep yet, she wanted to go to Neteyam, but when she looked up from her tablet, she noticed that he wasn't with the others at all. She poked her head out of the entrance to the hut, but didn't see him anywhere there either. "Does anyone know where Nete is? I'll go look for him," Y/N said anxiously. Lo'ak was the only one who noticed her and answered only with a bored `mmh`.

She went in search of him and first looked at the woven paths to see if he might have gone there. However, he wasn't to be found there either. Shortly before she decided to give up her search she looked into the horizon at the water. Her gaze then slid to a moving figure sitting on the beach. She had to really squint her eyes to be able to place the person, but when she noticed that this person had a dark blue skin color, she knew that it was not a Metkayina, but Neteyam. Y/N took a quick look at how to get to him and then started jogging.

On the beach Neteyam sat alone and watched the sea and the sky with its many stars and planets. He needed to find a clear thought and since everyone was busy with themselves anyway, he finally decided to take a walk and then got stuck at the beach. He hadn't really expected visitors, but when Y/N sat down next to him, he wasn't really surprised. No matter where he would go or hide, Y/N always found him everywhere.

"What are you doing here?" she asked as she made herself comfortable next to him.

"I need to clear my head. A lot has happened in the last few days, you know."

"Do you want to talk about it" Nete just shrugged in response.

"Just let me know when you're ready. Okay?" He looked over at her for a moment, nodded his head, and then turned back to the water. There was silence between the two for some time until `Teyam decided to tell her what was on his mind after all.

"Everything just feels pointless now, Y/N."

"What do you mean?" she replied to him with furrowed eyebrows.

"Well everything. At least my life," Neteyam had a queasy feeling in his stomach as he continued, "I'd rather be home right now, fighting to make sure we all have a safe home. But on the other hand, you guys are most important to me and letting you go away alone wouldn't have been an option for me either."

"Oh Nete, I think we would all rather be home now. I wish I could be with Norm right now too, or at least have Spider with me. But this, right now, is just the best solution for everyone."

"I understand that, too. But the thing that bothers me the most is that Dad had to give up his title and I've been trying to follow in his footsteps all this time for nothing. All the training I had to go through for nothing. I will never become the Olo'eyktan of the Omatikaya."

Y/N already understood what he was getting at.

"I was always judged more strictly than the others. I always gave more than one could for everything, because it was simply expected of me and to make Dad proud. And now, now we're sitting with another clan where we're treated like babies and are at the very bottom of the ladder. It all just seems so pointless to me."

The young human woman tried to be understanding and helped him understand that it wasn't all useless.

"There may be a different Olo'eyktan now, but you were prepared for life differently than the other warriors. Through your father, you have gained more knowledge than the others and may even be ahead of them in some things. Maybe without all that training you wouldn't be the way you are now. Maybe you would have become like Lo'ak and one of his kind is already enough in the family. Someone has to have all the brain cells with them," she tried to make him understand, nudging him with her body. "Even if you don't lead a clan, I know you'll be a great family leader. The way you're already taking care of Tuk and the others, you might just become the Olo'eyktan of your own family."

There was a quiet between the two of them and they continued to look at the night sky together. Neteyam thought about what she had told him, she was somehow right, but it still bothered him. He also thought about what she said last, that he will be a great father and a great family leader. He began to wonder if Y/N and he would have a future together that involved children. Would such a thing even work? A human and a Na'vi. Eywa would surely have an answer and maybe he would just have to wait to find out. Even if not, he would still be happy with her.

The silence was broken by Y/N as she started talking about the 'what ifs'.

"You know sometimes I think about what my life would have been like if my birth parents were still here," she spoke with her head pointed at the water. "What would have happened if my father hadn't died in the war? What would have happened if my mother hadn't left me behind when she returned to Earth? I wonder if she's happy now. I wonder if she thinks about me, or if she already has another family now and I've been forgotten?" she continued, looking in the direction where Earth would be. "That's the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. You're not alone with so many thoughts"

"I didn't realize you were so troubled by it. Of course it's your family, but you never talk to me about it. You can always talk to me about such things, I hope you know that," Neteyam said in a calm voice.

"I know Nete, I can talk to you about anything. I've kind of come to terms with the way things are now. But sometimes the idea does pop into my head. But I'll put it this way, if my parents were still here now, I might never have met Norm, Max or Mary. Spider wouldn't be like a brother to me now and I probably never would have met you guys either. I might never have met you."

Neteyam smiled at her statement and thought to himself that she probably did like him more than she wanted to admit.

"No matter how my life would have turned out or how much I wish my real family back, I would never trade my current life for it if it meant I couldn't spend any more time with you and your siblings"

No matter how life would still go, it was probably fate or Eywa herself that the lives of both are like this now. One would only have to make the best of it. No matter what was to come, Y/N promised him that she would always stand by his side if he ever got stuck.

Thereupon she grabbed his hand that was lying in the sand next to her body and squeezed his four fingers tightly to strengthen her promise once again. Nete was sure now would be the best moment to tell her about his feelings towards her. "You know Y/N you really mean a lot to me and I have a feeling that-" he began but then a call came from the background in her direction. It was Lo'ak, who in the meantime had started to worry about where his brother and Y/N could have gone. "Y/N! Have you found Neteyam yet? If so you should come home! It's getting late!"

"Yes I found him! Just a minute!" she called back and she turned back to Nete. "Sorry, what were you about to say?" she asked him, but the mood was now already disturbed another time by a family member and he decided again to tell Y/N another time. "Oh, wasn't that important. Let's go home."

Y/N was actually already curious about what he had to say to her, but she just shoulder shrugged and mumbled a small 'okay' before they headed off to her marui.

·:*¨༺ ★ ༻¨*:·.

Lo'ak and you have been mated for what feels like forever now for the both of you. He was your first everything. First time holding hands, first kiss, first ( and only mate ) and first fuck. Looking back to your very first time having sex with your man a lot has changed since then. You guys used to be so gentle and careful, when making love. Always took your time and tried to make it special. You think about how you always kissed so much and told each other how much you loved the other. This type of sex is not gone, just a lot more rare. Nowadays sex with lo'ak is way more rough. Many quickies and a lot of experimenting. He is calling you names that make you drool by just simply thinking about how they sound coming out of his mouth. You guys have found out that there is so much more to the act than just going in and out, it become a lot more fun.

The last two days you had to sleep all alone in your home. You do enjoy some occasional alone time, but there is also a huge part in you that always misses lo'ak whenever he is not around. So to wrap it up, your sleep was the worse, if you even got any at all. This night it was especially bad. Your mate is supposed to come back tomorrow evening, the clan is celebrating a little 'party', because that was the last hunting trip for the year. The huntsman and woman will stay home for some weeks, before eventually leaving for the next big hunt again. You cannot wait for him to be back. Your body is missing his touch and your ears are craving his voice. Talking about ears, usually the whole clan was so quiet at night, but something or someone was outside, making you quietly get up and lay your ears back. There was someone sneaking around and you were almost ready to fight someone, when..

"woah, y/n put that down, it's me.", Lo'ak lifted up his hands, making you yelp in excitement. Dropping the little knife you had grabbed before, just in case. You hug him so tight, immediately giving him a few sloppy kisses because you just missed him so much. "I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow night?", you ask, your tail swinging with joy. A big grin played his lips. He nods and places his two hands onto your hips. "I missed you. And I Couldn't stand the thought of not being able to touch you for one more night." You know what this is going to lead to, but you decided to go with it. It's not like you have not also been craving his touch. With one fast hand movement, your sleeping gown is gone and the big hands of your lover are already grooming your body. "baby, I need you so bad.", Lo'ak growls loud, not even trying to keep quiet, y'all never are. "I am all yours.", you whisper gently stroking his chest. His grin gets evil, his hands kneading your breast, making you whine. If there's one thing that gets him turned on, it's you whining, whimpering or even crying. So when his eyes darken you know he won't be showing mercy on you tonight.

"Turn over, on all fours. Wanna see that pretty ass of yours.", he gives you a little push, making you turn around and immediately getting on your hands and knees. When Lo'ak wants you in this position, you already know it's gonna be good. By arching your back, fully exposing yourself to the man behind you, you're making him hiss. "you're gonna be the death of me.", he chuckles, sounding so sexy. You move your hips a little bit, humping the air, showing him that you are ready for him. He's getting on one knee, supporting himself on his other leg, like this you will be able to take so much more of him, feel him deeper. So much time has past between your very first time and now. Lo'ak sure knows how he can make you cum in seconds, if he wanted to. But he can also make you suffer by prolonging the agony of not letting you reach your orgasm.

With not much force he slightly slaps your butt. "will fuck you so hard 'till everyone knows your man is back home.", giving himself a few rough strokes, before teasing your slit and making you even more wet. You whimper out loud, pushing your hips against his already hard dick. "so needy for me baby..", one of his hands finds its way down to your throbbing pussy, pushing two fingers roughly into you. He loves how they can fully disappear in the depths of you. A quiet moan escapes your lips, bucking your hips and fucking your self on his fingers. "impatient hm?". You frown at his words, because yes you are indeed impatient. Right when you wanted to tell him, that he should just already fuck your brains out, he enters you with so much force you almost fell over. You moan out in shock, trying to grip onto something, attempting to hold your balance. Stabilising yourself still doesn't make it much easier, but a hell lot more enjoyable. Moaning out his name just makes him go harder, exactly what you wanted to achieve with that action.

Lo'ak grunts holding tight onto your hips, making them move against ever single one of his trusts. Your walls are clenching around him, making it hard for him to keep the pace and strength he uses. Your nails are literally digging into the ground, but being so distracted by your own pleasure, you can't even feel the pain. Every single one of his trusts makes a noise that brings you to heaven. With fluid dripping down your thighs, you know you are already close. Knowing you so damn well your man brings his hand back to your clit, moving his hand fast at the same time he rams into you. Your legs begin to shake, screaming out none sense. "Lo'ak you're gonna make me cum.", you did not want it to be over already. Pressing your legs together, trying to warn him. "Oh no keep 'em open for me baby. It's not the last time you're gonna cum for me tonight.", he's panting, forcing himself not to cum as well. Your whole body starts to tremble, feeling close to your orgasm. Your man is taking that for a sign to pull out, knowing when you cum he wouldn't be able to pull through himself. But he doesn't even give you a second to calm down, feeling what feels like three or maybe even four fingers entering you. You thought that's already enough to make you cum, but that's not all. Suddenly you feel his tongue slightly licking over your rim, normally you would push him away, giggling because you wouldn't like that. This time you won't do anything about it. "Fuck.", you hiss one last time, before you cum. Your walls clench so tight around his fingers, he can't move them for seconds.

"Shit, y/n you almost made me cum undone.", Lo'ak chuckles, turning you over and not giving you time to calm down. You give him an evil smile, knowing you guys are not even close to finish this session. He admires you and gives you some time to catch your breath, before he hungrily attacks your lips. Making out with him has always been one of your favourite things. He knows how to use his tongue and occasionally slightly bites onto your lips. You gently pull his hair, making him whimper into the kiss. Once you guys pull apart, his lips stick to your body. Kissing his way down to your entrance. You're still very sensitive, so when he places a kiss right onto your clit your body twitches. Quietly whispering his name, you lean your head back, supporting yourself with your elbows. His tongue slides into you, while he places your legs on top of his shoulders. You sob out loud, trying to keep your legs open. While his tongues slides in and out of you he slowly takes your hand placing it on top of his hair. "Want you to pull it baby, show me how good I can make you feel.", he growls onto your pussy. Just feeling his breath against your pussy already makes you want to cum again. Obeying him, you nod. Holding tightly onto his braids and pulling hard every time he makes you see stars. Every time he's sucking a little too good and you pull onto his hair, you get rewarded with a little hiss or growl. You love hearing him being noisy, even though he has never really been a quiet guy in the first place. Always showing you how much he is enjoying himself.

"Lo'ak, It's too much..", you whine, when he almost digs his whole face into you. Stimulating you with pushing his nose against your clit, slurping you out and basically doing the most down there. He doesn't even respond to you, but takes it as a sign for him to keep going. His jaw is already hurting and he's struggling to breath, but right now it's your pleasure over his. But knowing your man, your pleasure is also his. Squirming under him, doesn't make it any better. You're rocking your hips against his face, making it feel even more intense. "I'm gonna cum Lo'ak.. gonna cum..", after saying that he pulls his face away from you, now taking his hand, rubbing onto your clit. Your eyes roll to the back of your head, elbows weak and barely supporting you. You don't even have the strength to pull his hair anymore. Right now you're being nothing more than just a drooling and whimpering mess. When he applies just a little bit more pressure on your clit, you cum, squirting all over him. At first you didn't even acknowledged the fact, that you squirted, even though that's not the first time this has happened. "Fuck, y/n", he hisses, taking his hands off of you. Your orgasm was so intense, you had to take a moment before opening your eyes. Seeing your mate sit in front of you, while is whole face is glistening from all of your fluids. Your eyes widen in disbelief. "oh my god lo'ak, I'm sor-.", he is immediately crawling over you, placing a finger on your lips and shaking his head. "Don't excuse yourself. No need to be sorry for something that happened, because of how good I made you feel."

You smile at your boyfriend who never makes you embarrassed over something. "That was so sexy.", he quietly laughs, looking down at himself. Only now you realise that he came all over himself. Being proud of yourself for making him cum undone, you put on an evil smile. But there's also a part of you that's almost sad about the fact, that he didn't finished inside of you. Once you kind of caught your breath you get yourself up on all fours. Placing a playful little peck onto his lips, only to bend down and lick over his thighs. With a bit of his cum on your tongue, you look up to him and stick it out. Showing it off. Lo'ak licks his lips and then puts on a little smirk, playfully shaking his head. You get up, lean down and kiss him on the forehead.

"I'll be right back, gonna get you a cloth. Then we'll clean you up."

Lo'ak x reader how he protects her against mean comments and actions from the girl from the water clan

Hope you enjoy ✨

You had joined the family when they left for the sea as you and Lo‘ak had been together for quite some time and you kind of already belonged to the family.

Since your arrival the people of the water clan looked at you and especially the young children often had some mean comments about you and the family

Though especially one particular kid, a girl who had looked at Lo‘ak quite often had some specially mean comments for you one day

You decided to go to the edge of the village for some quite time, just to catch your breath and free your mind, sitting on one of the little bridges and your feet in the warm water

Steps came closer and turning around the girl that had looked at Lo'ak at your arrival came to you. She looked....displeased to say at least

She first greeted you nicely and asked how you were but it didn't take long for her to drop some comments about you. Your tail, your figure, how you looked not good even for a Na'vi. that she couldn't understand what Lo'ak found so great.

With every word you heart sank and you felt tears dwell up even more. Though you tried to say something against her or to make her stop you couldn't. Instead you looked down into the water, shoulders pulled up as if you tried to keep her words out of your ears.

The girl stood besides you and looked down at you but she stopped when she saw something. Or someone. Lo'ak had heard her last sentences and came towards the two at you with quick steps and put himself between her and you.

Lo'ak stayed with you after she left and listen to you vent to her. Wiping your tears away. For every bad thing she had to say against you he had something good. Something he loved about you and something why he had chosen to be with you.

After that the girl wouldn't come up to you but rather sulk in the back rows and look at you angry.

Lo'ak from then on made it his mission to tell you every evening how much he loved you and a new thing he loved about you. He never really left your side afterwards and you two grew more attached to the hip than before.

It’s been weeks.

Months even and Spider felt terrible. He felt like an outcast, like a burden.

He probably was one anyways.

The Sullys were still mourning, the grief sitting deep within their soul. They lost their eldest son, their first child, their first joy. Spider understood why they were still mourning Neteyams loss.

After Neteyam had died Jake spend more time with his kids. He asked them how their day was, what they did, if they achieved anything. He‘d smile at the stories Tuk and Kiri told him and give Lo‘ak some tips about how he could improve his hunting. Neytiri sat beside them, slightly smiling while prepping the food.

Spider was left out. He always was.

Jake invited him for dinner right after Neteyams funeral but Spider saw the look in Neytiris eyes. He saw that he was unwanted, so he passed the offer. He told Jake he was tired and needed to rest.

Luckily Jake got the Metkayina to allow Norm to place Spider‘s shack a couple minutes away from the village. It turned into Spiders safe space.

Usally he hated being in his shack alone but over the past months he learned to love the time he got to spend there.

Most of the time Spider would stand in front of the little mirror, looking at his reflection. He felt wrong, he felt like he didn‘t deserve to wear the clothes he wore. The light material starting to itch on his skin in agony.

Tears made their way down his face, burning his skin. At least it felt like that. His body shaking at the force of his sobs, his legs barely able to hold him upright as he stared at the boy in the mirror.

He didn‘t identify with the Spider he saw everyday. It felt wrong, like he was just holding up a very bad act. He was ashamed of himself for the way he acted all this years. He hated himself for trying to fit it with a species that was so different from his.

Spider remembered the day Kiri repainted his blue stripes…

He ran off to his shack, rubbing them off under the shower until his skin almost bled. He didn‘t deserve the blue paint, he didn‘t deserve to be Na‘vi. He wasn‘t Na’vi and he would never be. Neytiri made sure to remind him of that.

When Kiri asked him why he washed them off he simply shrugged and told her the paint was itchy. He knew she saw trough his terrible lies but she didn‘t ask further. She just took that answer and didn‘t ask him again. His heart broke at that.

Normally Kiri was always the one looking out for him, always asking how he was, if he ate and drank, if he was happy. She stopped doing that after he came back from the RDA and Spider understood, he really did. She just lost her older brother and was grieving. He understood that she didn‘t had enough engery to put up with a broken 16-year old. He understood, but it still hurt.

Then there was Tuk…

The little girl had liked him since she could remember. She always treated him like a Sully, even if Neytiri forbid her to include him in certain activities. Tuk didn‘t care. She was always searching for Spider, wanting to play with him, when Lo‘ak and Neteyam were out with Jake and Kiri helped her mom.

Sometimes Spider felt just like a plan b to her but that was better than nothing, right? At least she was searching for his presence.

Since Neteyams funeral she stuck to Lo‘ak and Kiri, spending so much time with her siblings, that she barely even spoke to Spider. He missed her enthusiastic stories but she made clear that she wasn‘t in the mood to talk to Spider. At least that was what he thought.

After his escape from the RDA Spider thought that his relationship with Lo‘k would be the same as before but it wasn‘t. Their current relationship was terrible. Lo‘ak didn‘t spoke to him and Spider didn‘t even dare to look at his friend. That was what they were, right? They were still friends, right? Even if then didn‘t talk to eachother…

Spider knew why Lo‘ak ignored him. He was the reason Neteyam died after all. Neteyam went back for him and sighed his death warrant. That was a debt Spider thought he‘ll never be able to pay off. He took a child, a brother from a family. It would only be fair for him to die too.

No, he should’ve died in the first place. He should’ve been to one Lyle shot, not Neteyam. Not perfect, flawless Neteyam…

The way Jake hugged Spider after the battle didn‘t feel right. It was wrong, it was messed up. Jake surely didn‘t know what Spider had done. If he knew he would hate Spider. He would send him back to the Omaticaya, back to Norm and Max. He would understand why Neytiri never liked Spider in the first place.

Jake would finally open his eyes to who Spider was. That he was a human, a terrible human. Just like his father…

Dispise Neytiris hatred for Spider Jake had always tried to include the little human boy. It didn‘t really work.

Jake never was as gentle with Spider as he was with his children. When Spider fell he would never take him in his arms and tell him it‘ll be okay. He never helped Neytiri treat his wounds. No… He always called for Norm and Max, letting them take over.

Jake never checked with Spider the way he checked with his children and of course, Spider wasn‘t his child but he was a child. A child without parents on a planet where he didn‘t belong.

There was a time once where Spider didn‘t eat for almost four days. No one would‘ve noticed if he didn‘t collapsed while playing with Lo’ak. The Na‘vi boy ran to get his dad and what did Jake did? He called Norm and Max letting them handle this problem.

He never asked Spider why he didn‘t eat. If he would‘ve he would‘ve know that Spider did it to get attention. Attention from Jake. He seeked out for parental affection, affection he didn‘t get.

If Jake would‘ve checked in with Spider even once in his life he would‘ve know that Spider decided to get dreads cause Jake had them and Jake was the one Spider looked up to.

Everything Spider did, he did so Jake would finally see him, really see him but the older man didn‘t seem to pick up the very obvious hints.

Or maybe he did notice but didn‘t want to act. Maybe he understood that Spider wanted more but simply ignored it. Maybe he thought Spider wasn‘t worth it, like Neytiri told him all the times. Maybe Spider was too weak, too human…

If Jake didn‘t notice Spider even with all his efforts, maybe he should just stop trying at all. It was useless anyway.

So Spider stopped trying.

He started with cutting his hair, letting his dread locks fall to the floor of his shack. Everyone knew that Spiders hair was sacred to him and that he rarely cut it, so the Sullys were beyond shocked when they saw his new haircut. He still remembered the look Kiri had on her face when she saw Spider with his buzzed hair. It was disappointment, it was sadness.

Kiri had loved his hair. It looked sturdy but it was so soft. Kiri loved to play with it. She could do that for hours.

When she saw Spider with his buzzed hair she was almost shell schocked but Spider told her he liked it that way so she didn‘t ask any further.

On one side it hurt Spider that they didn‘t dig any deeper and that they just took what he gave them, but on the other side he only knew it that way. It had never been different. Even the Tsahik of the Metkayina noticed that Spider wasn‘t okay and that he needed help, but no one else saw. No one acted like they really cared for Spider and his well being.

The next thing Spider did was starting to wear t-shirts.

He used them to hide his slim, weak body, but also wore them because he started to feel cold in the ocean breeze.

He never was cold in the forstet. He ran around without a shirt since he could think but now he could leave his shack with at least a tanktop.

Jake was became suspicious when he noticed that Spider began to wear human clothing on a regular basis and wanted to ask the boy about it but Neytiri just talked it down. She told Jake he probably finally came to realisation that he was human and not Na‘vi. It reassured Neytiri that the human boy finally acted like one. Maybe now he would stop bothering her and her family.

The shirt gave Spider some kind of safety. A safety that he didn‘t get from the Sully’s. It hid his thin arms and his showing rips…

Yes it was annoying to go swimming with it but Spider didn‘t care. He rather run around with a clingy, wet shirt, or ran over 2 hours to chance it than getting weird looks about his body.

He wasn‘t confident in his body, not since he realised - a couple years ago - that he would never be Na‘vi, that he would always be like that. That realisation took a bit of his joy for life.

He never would be full Na‘vi, so why try?

After he wore the shirt for a couple of weeks he started to wear shorts too. He never was so thankful for Norm and his urge to get Spider to wear normal clothes.

Kiri saw Spider wearing shorts a couple of times before she went to talk to her dad.

“Are you sure he is fine?“, she asked her father, worry spread on her face.

„Yes, why wouldn‘t he be?“

“Because he started wearing sky people clothing… Don‘t tell me you can‘t remember all the times Norm tried to get him to wear shirts and he would scream in protest. Something isn‘t okay dad. He, he isn‘t fine. Someone needs to check on him!“, Kiri demanded.

Jake gave her a conflicted look, thinking about what his mate told him. He probably came to realisation that he wasn‘t Na‘vi and that he would never be, no matter how many blue stripes he painted on his skin. But on the other hand he noticed too. Spider was behaving different. Jake barely saw him eating, he barely saw Spider anyway.

The boy mostly excused himself, hiding in his shack. It was unusual. Highly unusual…

Normally Spider was out with the kids till eclipse, always chasing after them, laughing till his rips hurt and the smile almost fell off his face, but this Spider, the Spider who returned from the RDA was different.

„Maybe you’re right baby girl. I‘m gonna look after him after dinner“, Jake gave in with a tired sigh, setting the spear down he was sharpening. „I will look after him. Just don‘t tell your mom, okay?“

Kiris gaze sharpened. She knew her mother hated Spider. She knew and she despised her mom for it. What did Spider do to her? He had no control over who his father was? Hasn‘t she heard what Spider did for the villages Quaritch raided. Why didn‘t she see Spider for who he was? Why did she always see him?

„Why shouldn’t I?“

“Because you know how she is… She doesn‘t accept him. You know what she did on the ship. She wouldn‘t want me to check on him“, Jake explained with a aching heart. He hated that he gave in to Neytiri but she was his mate. He was supposed to do that, wasn‘t he?

“That‘s the problem!“, Kiri suddenly almost yelled, throwing her hands in the air. „All you do when you’re supposed to look after Spider is think about mom! About her hatred and anger. You’re only seeing that! You’re not seeing the broken boy who obviously needs help!“, her voice cracked. Kiri was crying by now, tears streaming down her fragile face.

She knew that she wasn‘t any better, but Jake was Toruk Makto, former Olo‘eyktan. Most importantly he was a father. He was supposed to look out for his children and Spider counted as one of his children. At least that was what Kiri thought. She always had seen Spider as her brother, Lo‘ak and Tuk did the same, even Neteyam saw a brother in Spider…

„We failed him dad. We failed him and he‘s too scared to tell us. He is scared dad. He is scared!“, Kiri yelled, shooting up from the sitting postillion she was in.

“Have you ever seen how he looks at mom, especially after-“, her voice broke, letting Jake flinch. „Especially after she held a knife to his throat? Have you ever seen the fear in his eyes when she comes too close to him? Have you ever seen how he backs ways, as soon as he thinks he might be in her way? Have you seen it, or are you blinded by pure rage mom is feeling towards his father. His father. He isn‘t is father! He isn‘t! He is so much more“, Kiri cried, not even bothering to wipe her tears away.

“He‘s not responsible for what his father did! Then and now. Haven‘t you heard how he tried to protect our people? His people? Spider was ready to risk his life for us and we just ran… We left him with the RDA. We let him suffer dad, we let him suffer with the excuse of a Na‘vi who dared to call himself Spiders father-“

Kiri broke down.

The force of her sobs, shook her legs, letting her fall to the ground. She was shaking, hands clutched to her face.

Jake sat there like he was frozen. Kiri threw so much at his head that it was hard to process everything. Jake slowly blinked as he saw the crying form of his daughter. He felt numb. What had he done? What had he done?

His eyes started tearing up. Everything Kiri had just accused him of was true. It was the plain, painful truth. He had left Spider behind to run away with his family. Hell, he even thought Spider would snitch on them… He was so wrong. He was so selfish.

He was such a selfish bastard.

He ran way to safe his family, meanwhile a part of his family was suffering at the hands of the RDA. His child was the one suffering and he didn‘t even look back when he left the forest.

Jake scrambled to his feet, hurrying of to Kiri, pulling her into his lap, laying his arms around her.

“I’m sorry baby girl“, he whispered in a broken voice, holding her close. „I’m so sorry. You’re right. You‘re so right“, he continued, hiding his face in her hair.

“You shouldn‘t say sorry to me… Say sorry to him!“, she urged, freeing herself from her dads grip. „You need to say sorry to him“, she whispered again, looking in the eyes of the man that raised her, even tho she wasn‘t his own. Why didn‘t he do the same with Spider. Jake was human too, right? Shouldn‘t that be one reason more to care for the human boy?

“I will go, talk to him and apologise! If- If your mom asks where I am tell her I’m with Spider, okay?“ Jake got up, gently setting Kiri down on one of the sleeping mats.

“Okay. I will let her know“, she forced a small smile, looking after Jake, as he hurried out of their mauri.

A knock ripped Spider out of his thoughts. He was crouched over a bunch of books, trying to get the knowledge to stick in his brain. Maybe if he’d be able to help Norm and Max he would have something to do.

Spider looked up when he heard the air lock open. His confusion grew when he saw Jake entering, grabbing one of the regulators who hung besides the door.

„Hey, how are you bud?“, Jake asked sitting down on Spiders bed, besides his desk. Jake looked hilarious. The bed was big, but still too small for Jake to comfortably sit on it. He didn‘t care tho.

“I’m fine“, Spider replied, looking down at the books again.

Jake took in Spiders clothed form, shocked at how much weight the boy lost. „Have you been eating recently?“, he asked, bending forward to let his elbows rest on his knees.

“Yes“, Spider answered, his mind absent. „Why are you asking?“

„Because you have lost weight“, Jake stated, waiting for Spiders reaction.

Spider stiffened, freezing in his spot. How did Jake know? How did he notice? Spider was careful to not let his body show. There was no way Jake noticed. He didn‘t care for Spider.

“What’s going on Spider, mh? You can talk to me!“, Jake said, urging closer to Spider. Jake meant what he said. Spider could talk to him and Jake wanted to know what was going on. He wanted to correct his mistakes from the past. He wanted to start being a father for Spider.

“It’s nothing, really. I just wasn‘t hungry the past days…“ , Spider whispered, turning his head away from the Na‘vi man. „You don‘t need to worry about me, I’m fine“ Spider wasn‘t fine. There was no way he was fine. He was miserable. But he didn‘t want to be a burden. He was one enough all these years ago…

„You aren‘t fine Spider. Everyone can see that“ Jakes voice was quiet and gentle. The way he spoke with Tuk when she was scared, or Kiri when he tried to explain what happened to her birth mother. „You can talk to me bud. Thats the least I can do. I care for you-“

“No you don‘t“, Spider interrupted him, turning his head to stare into Jakes yellow eyes.

„What?“, Jake was too stunned to speak, needing to take a breath from his regulator. Why did Spider think like that? Jake cared for him, he did. Why did Spider think Jake didn‘t care for him?

“Don‘t say you care for me, cause you don‘t. You never did“ There it was. It was out. Jake knew what Spider thought. There was no going back now. Maybe Spider should already start packing. Jake surely would send him back to Max and Norm.

“Why do you think that?“, Jake wanted to know in a broken voice. He tried to put a hand on Spiders shoulder, but the boy backed away. He didn‘t want to be touched by him.

“In all the years I‘ve been living you‘ve never really cared for me, you’ve never really seen me. You would always call Max or Norm letting them take over when all I wanted was you to care for me. Remember the time I collapsed while playing with Lo‘ak? I didn‘t eat for about four days. I wanted you to notice me, but you didn‘t. You send me away with Norm again“ Spider wanted to cry, he wanted to scream, he wanted to punch Jake and hurt him the way he hurt him but he kept still. He looked Jake in the eyes, more calm than he ever was. It was scary.

“You‘ve never said anything to Neytiri when she once again sliced me with her looks. Never once you said anything when she send me away again, calling me a demon child. But mostly importantly you leftme… You left me with the RDA, at the hands of the excuse of a Na‘vi who calls himself my father. I‘ve waited days, weeks even, always hoping and praying you’ll show up but you didn‘t and still I didn‘t snitch on you. I even told them to kill me, before I give you away“, Spiders voice broke and Jake stared at him in shock.

Why did he never say anything? Why did Jake let him suffer like this in the first place. Jake had fucked up big time, he knew that but how does make this right now?

“Never, ever do that again, Spider! Do you hear me? Never“, Jake pleaded, looking into Spiders eyes. „Never tell them to kill you. Give them what they want. Give them everything, because the next time something like this happens - which will not - I will come and get you, you understand? I will do everything in my power to get you Spider. Everything!“ That was a promise. A promise Jake not only gave Spider but himself. How could he leave that boy to suffer like that?

Tears welled up in Spiders eyes and he was so close to believe what Jake told him but there was no way he meant it. He never meant anything he told Spider.

Jake had promised to teach Spider how to hunt, how to fish. He even promised him to carve him a bow. Jake promised but he didn‘t do it. Spider taught everything he knows himself. He watched how Jake taught Neteyam and Lo‘ak and spend nights learning on his own. He didn‘t sleep, he didn‘t drink, didn‘t eat…

Jake couldn’t keep his promises in the past. Why should he keep them now?

“You don‘t mean that“, Spider broke the silence, standing up. He needed to get distance between him and Jake. „You promised me so many things and you’ve never kept a single one of them. Why should you keep this promise?“ Spider turned around, looking in Jakes pained eyes.

Jake didn‘t respond. He didn‘t know what to respond. Spider was so right… He was so right and Jake was ashamed of himself. How can he ever repair this broken relationship? Can it even be repaired?

“You should take a breath from your regulator“, Spider suddenly blurted out, pointing towards the device - which hung around Jake‘s neck. „I don‘t want you to fall unconscious on me“

“Uh, yea sure“, Jake almost stammered, doing as he was told.

Spider turned around, walking into the little kitchen. He was thirsty and he needed to get away from Jake. If he‘d stay he might believe he meant everything he said.

Jake saw Spider disappearing, walking away. Then he broke down. Tears were streaming down the mans face and it was hard to suppress the sobs, who were threatening to leave his body.

What had he done? What has he done to that boy?How could he be so cruel, denying a child what they needed to most? A parent. He was so focused of this family that he forgot Spider… And Spider was part of his family. Spider had always been, hadn’t he?

No, he is not part of this family, a small, agonysing voice started to speak up in Jake‘s head and Jake knew the voice was right. If Spider really would’ve been part of the family he would‘ve eaten with them, Jake would‘ve taught him how to hunt and fish, he would‘ve gotten a songcord…

Spider would‘ve gotten so much, but he didn‘t. He didn‘t because Jake was being ignorant and selfish, letting his mate hate a child. Jake let Neytiri almost terrorise Spider and he never did anything. He thought- He thought it was justified in some fucked up way.

Jake was so drowned in his own thoughts, fault and guilt that he almost didn‘t recognise the dull thud that came from the little kitchen of the shack. Jake shot up from Spiders bed, hitting his head at the low ceiling of the shack.

“Fuck“, he cured under his breath, before he went into the direction of the kitchen, preparing himself for the worst.

“Spider? Spider are you okay?“, he asked, as he popped his head through the door but he got now response. He immediately saw why. Spider was laying on the ground unconscious, blood drawing from his head.

“Shit, shit, shit!“ Jake tried to pick the boy up as gently as possible, laying him on his bed. He needed to get Neytiri. Now.

When Jake was sure that Spider laid comfortable he tried to still the bleeding, pressing a cloth against the boys head. With his eyes Jake scanned the room, searching for something to secure the cloth against Spiders head. When he noticed some sort of belt he grabbed it, trying to gently tie it around Spiders head.

„Okay, so now you need to find his comm“, Jake told himself, trying to calm himself down. He wasn‘t prepared for this kind of situation. When he spotted the comm he handed Spider a couple weeks ago he sighed with relief. „I’m praying Lo‘ak is wearing his!“

Jake reached out, putting the ear piece on. „Lo‘ak? Lo‘ak are you there?“, Jake asked, his voice sounding desperate.

“Dad?“, came a muffled voice full of confusion. „Why are you using Spiders comm? Is everything okay?“

„You need to tell your mom to come to Spiders shack, understood? Tell her its urgent. If she doesn’t want to come tell her I’m not alright, okay? Do everything thats possible to get her here. It’s about Spider“, Jake ordered, his eyes drifting to the unconscious boy who laid on the bed. „He‘s- he’s not okay…“

“Of course Sir. Understood!“, Jake heard Lo‘ak before he lost the connection. Jake was feeling terrible, he was anxious, he was insecure, he was everything but calm.

Jakes hands trembled as he tried to gently caress Spiders face. He looked to small, so vulnerable. He looked like a kid. A kid he didn’t care for. A kid who deserved someone to care for him. Jake had failed and he knew that. He knew that he failed and he would do everything in his power to make up for it. He wanted to be the father Spider never had. He wanted to be the one Spider searched for when he had a problem. He wanted to be Spiders father.

Jake was so caught up in his worry and fear that he didn‘t notice his mate almost storming into the shack. Lo‘ak told her something was wrong with Jake. „MaJake! Is everything alright?“ Neytiri was all over Jake before he could stand up.

“I‘m fine! It‘s- It‘s Spider love“, Jake turned his head to look at the unconscious boy laying on the bed, tears brimming in Jake‘s eyes. With a hiss Neytiri backed away, shaking her head.

“You got me here to treat the demon child? No!“ Neytiri flashed her fangs, he ears flat to her skull while her tail swung aggressively. „I will not get near the demons brut! You remember what his father did to us“, she whispered in a angry tone, sounding more than dangerous.

“But he isn‘t his father!“, Jake hissed back, towering over his mate. „All those years I let you play this card but I‘m sick of it! Can‘t you see what we did to this boy? We neglected him Neytiri! We ignored him while all he wanted was someone to care for him. He wanted parents and we - you and I - were too blindto see it. We didn‘t see him! You were so blinded by your hate for his father while he only was a child!“, Jakes voice broke, tears streaming down his face, while Neytiri stared at her mate in shock. She could count on one hand how many times she saw Jake cry and she didn‘t expect him to do so now.

“We failed him. We failed him so many times but he didn‘t care. We left him to die with the RDA and he still didn‘t snitch on us, he still did everything to save Kiri. You sliced his chest on that boat and he still tried to please you in any way possible. He’s still trying to do everything you want without a single thought of hate towards you. He cares for us while we didn‘t care for him!“ Jake was almost screaming, not caring if Spider could possibly wake up from it.

“I’m just asking you to see Neytiri. To see him and not his father“, his voice was trembling with guilt, his eyes pleading as he looked at his mate, at the love of his life.

Neytiris eyes flicked from the unconscious form of Spider laying on the bed back to a crying Jake in front of her. „I-“, she started, her voice getting caught in her throat. She didn‘t know what to say… Jake was right. Jake was so right but Neytiri still didn‘t want to believe it. Her hate was too strong to be overcome. At least she thought it…

Jake saw that Neytiri was battling with herself. He knew it was hard for her because Quaritch took everything from her but Spider had nothing to do with that son of a bitch. The only thing which identified Spider as Quaritch‘s was his blood and Jake knew on earth they said: Blood was thicker than water but this didn‘t apply to Spider!

The moment Spider was allowed to go outside he didn‘t seek to destroy Pandora, no. He wanted to be one of them. He wanted to be Na‘vi. He wanted to keep Pandora safe, he was ready to die for a planet he wasn‘t supposed to live on…

That was all Neytiri needed to see. Just that. She saw the need to protect Pandora in Jake when he became Toruk Makto, why didn‘t she see it when Spider told them that he didn‘t say a word to the RDA?

“Please Neytiri. That‘s all I‘m asking. Please see him for who he is. Just once…“ Jake cocked his head slightly, grabbing Neytiris hand. „Please“

Neytiri‘s head was a mess. On one side she wanted to give in to Jake, she wanted to set her hatred for Spider aside but on the other side… on the other side she couldn‘t. The hate was boiling in her heart, threatening to boil over if she took one more look at Spider. But he was just a child, not responsible for his fathers actions. Why was it so hard for Neytiri to overlook the origin of Spider? Why?

Neytiri took a deep breath, looking at Jake before she pushed him aside to kneel down in front if Spider. Her mind was telling her to stop, to run away from the demon child but at the same time her instincts screamed at her, telling her to care for this neglected, forgotten child.

She gently started to caress Spiders head, whispering soothing words into his ear, while she inspected the wound on his head. It was hard to access, she would need to shave his hair away further…

“MaJake… Get me a scissor or something. We need to cut his hair away a bit, otherwise I can‘t treat his wound“, Neytiri instructed, waiving her hands in the direction of her mate. „Hurry up! Your cloth bandage won‘t hold any longer“

“Yes, of course“, Jake muttered, rummaging through the drawers in Spiders room. It surprised Jake that Neytiri was willing to help and he really hoped she would start to set her hate for him aside because Jake knew that he wouldn‘t chose Spider overNeytiri…

While Jake was searching for a pair of scissors Neytiri carefully removed Spiders shirt, gasping in horror when she saw that the rips of the boy were already showing. He was covered in bruises and cuts - which were at different stages of healing. Some cuts looking more symmetrical that the others… Broken sobs escaped Neytiris throat as she looked down at the boy, clutching her hand over her mouth.

Spider was suffering. Alone. And they didn‘t- shedidn‘t care. Spider was a child, a gift from Eywa - demon or not. How could she not appreciate this gift? How could she hate him, while all he did was care for her family?

Realisation hit her like a hammerhead. Oh she was so selfish, so full of hate. May the great mother forgive her for her mistakes.

„What is this MaJake?“, she cried out, turning around just too look at a appalled Jake.

„No, no, no“, he whispered, kneeling down besides his mate to take in the cuts on Spiders upper arm and shoulders. „No Eywa, this can‘t be true, please“ His voice broke, while he caressed the different cuts. Spiders was hurting himself… Judging to the cuts he stopped some time ago but at the same time Jake didn‘t know what his thighs looked like. They could look even worse.

“When- When you’re done shaving his hair and dressing his wound we need to-“ Jake‘s voice cracked. „-we need to check his thighs. There could be more cuts there“

„What do these cuts mean MaJake?“

“Nothing good love. Nothing good“, Jake murmued, handeling Neytiri the scissors. They weren‘t the best option but Jake also didn‘t want Neytiri to get near Spider with a knife. He could wake up any moment and Jake didn‘t know how Spider would react, especially after the incident on the ship.

Neytiri wasn‘t satisfied with Jake‘s answer but it needed to do right now. If she would wait any longer the wound could get worse. She needed to get to work. She would ask Jake about the cuts later.

When Spider woke up he could feel something around his head and torso, as well as his legs. Something wasn‘t right. How did he end up in his bed? Spider pressed his eyes close, trying to remember but he was met with a wave of black. He couldn‘t remember. He only knew that Jake was with him.

At the thought of the Marine Spiders eyes flew open. He tried to sit up but was pushed down again by a gentle hand. „Shhhh. It‘s aright Spider. It‘s okay. It‘s me. It‘s Jake. You‘re okay. Calm down“, a soothing voice called out, stroking Spiders head. The boy blinked a couple times, trying to get the blur out of his vision. Was that really Jake?

“Just like that. Take deep breaths. In and out, just like that!“, Jake instructed, letting out a shaky relieved breath when Spider followed the instructions.

Once Spider felt some what able to move his head, he turned to look at Jake, almost flinching when he saw the tear stained face of the older man. „Oh Spider…“, Jake whispered, carefully taking the boy in his arms. „My sweet, sweet boy. You scared me, so much“ Tears of relief washed over Jake as he held Spider close, cradling the boy in his arms. He never wanted to let him go.

“I’m sorry Spider. I’m- We‘re so sorry!“, Jake immediately started, pulling away to look in Spiders eyes. „Everything you- told me is true. Everything. We neglected you, we didn‘t care for you and I‘m so sorry“

Spider felt like he was in some sort of trance. Was that really Jake apologising? That couldn‘t be true. Jake wouldn‘t- he sure wouldn‘t apologise, right? And also he said we. That must be a dream because we would meant he and Neytiri and Spider wasn‘t dumb. He knew Neytiri couldn‘t stand him. She hated Spider. This must be hallucinating…

„Is this a dream?“, Spider whispered, looking up into Jake‘s yellow eyes. This can‘t be true.

“No, no this isn‘t a dream bud“, Jake assured, giving Spider a teary smile. „This is real. Neytiri-“ Spider flinched. Jakes heart broke. „Neytiri and I- we‘ve realised our mistakes and we wan‘t to do better. We- we want to be the parents you deserve“

Suddenly Spider started to violently shake his head, pushing himself away from Jake. No, no, no! Neytiri would never- she would never accept him as one of hers. Never. She never did and she never will. Spider crawled into the corner of his bed, his back facing the wall.

“You don‘t mean that“, he cried, clutching his arms. „Don‘t say that, please. You don‘t mean it“ Spiders head was clouded, his mind throwing insults at him. How he doesn‘t deserve the parental love of anyone, how he was the reason Neteyam died, how Neytiri would always see his father in him, how he always would be a demon.

“Spider... Spider, come here son“, Jake said in a calm voice, scooting near the boy, but Spider just pressed himself further into the corner of his bed. His eyes wide open. He was panicking.

Jake knew what he had to do and he hated it. Without listening to Spiders screams and pleas he took the human boy in his arms, pressing him close to his own body. Spider needed to calm down, to get back to his senses.

“I know you don‘t believe me… I know and that‘s okay. I will prove to you that I‘m serious. Neytiri and I will prove, okay? You just need to let us“, Jake pleaded, while held down a flailing Spider, tears falling from the mans eyes again. He needed to make this right. It took him the loss of one son to realise he had another and he wasn‘t gonna let Eywa take him away from him! Not this time.

It took Spider hours to fall asleep. He was struggling in Jake‘s arms for god knows how long till he fell asleep from exhaustion, his mind flooded by all the things Jake had told him. Could he really believe it? Just this time? He wanted to, he really wanted to but- but there were all the promises in the past that he didn‘t hold… Spider didn‘t know what to do.

When he opened his eyes the next time he felt- normal. He looked around his room, realising that he was alone. He let out a greatfull breath. Finally.

When he sat up he noticed the bandages around his torso and thighs once more. They found out… Was that why they were playing the pity card on him right now? Was his self harm the reason why Jake suddenly noticed him? If it were like that he maybe should’ve started a bit earlier with it…

Spider was about to try and stand up when the air lock of his shack opened. His head shot up - a stinging pain jolting through his skull. His eyes met the surprised yellow ones of Neytiri - who still stood in the door, completely frozen. Spider wanted to talk, to scream but his throat was tied. He stared at the woman in front of him, fear and panic slowly creeping up his spine. Was she here to end things? Was she here to tell him everything Jake said wasn‘t true? Was that why she was here?

“Hello Spider“, she carefully greeted him, showing him her hands, she was unarmed - even the little dagger she always had besides her hip was missing. „How are you?“, she asked in a calm voice. Spider flinched. Was she for real?

When Neytiri didn‘t get an answer she slowly started to walk near Spider but stopped immediately when she saw whim flinch again. She took a deep breath and sat down on the floor, crossing her legs in front of her.

“There‘s something I want to talk to you about“, she started, searching for Spiders gaze. At first the boy was afraid of what he would find but when he looked in Neytiris eyes there was no hatred, no anger, no rage. There was pure love and it looked like she actually cared for him.

Spider gave her a small nod, straightening his back. This would be a long talk.

“I would like to apologise Spider. What I did was not right“, Neytiri sighed, briefly looking down at her hands. „I had no right to treat you the way I treated you and I‘m sorry. Children are gifts from Eywa and I was selfish to think you weren‘t a gift. I only saw your father and that was not right. I would like to apologise for all my actions- also on the ship… I had no right to behave like that. I am sorry“

“It‘s fine“, Spider tried to talk it down but Neytiri shook her head.

“It is not Spider. We treated you like an adult while all you needed were parents. You‘re a child Spider. You deserve to be treated like one. All those years Jake and I failed you… We want to correct out mistakes from the past and take you in as one of ours. Out children did it way before us. Now it‘s my and Jakes turn“

Tears welled up in Spiders eyes as he just stood up and went to crash into Neytiri, hugging her like his life depended on it. Spider didn‘t know what was going on, why he was acting like he did but hearing that Neytiri was sorry and that she and Jake will try their best meant more that just to hear it from Jake.

Everybody knew that Neytiri never lied. Never. So she must mean it when she said it.

“I‘m sorry Spider. So sorry“, she whispered in a hushed tone, while cradling the back of his head. She didn‘t want to let him go. „You will never have to suffer like you did all those years again. I promise. We will care for you, most importantly Iwill care for you. I see you Spider and I am ashamed of myself that it took me so long to do so…“ A little tear rolled down Neytiris cheek as she pressed a gentle kiss to Spiders forehead. „If you ever have a problem you come to me and Jake, okay? We will try our best to help you!“, her gaze flicked to the bandages around Spiders thighs and he looked away in shame.

“I’m sorry“, he whispered, his cheeks turning slightly red.

“Don‘t be sorry. You have nothing to apologise for“, Neytiri immediately shook her head, carefully grabbing Spiders face, turning in to look at him. „Don‘t be sorry for such thing. You had no other way to- to relief the hurt. It‘s fine Spider. But if you ever experience something like this again I want you to talk to me, okay? I don‘t want to see you hurt again. You‘re my son and it‘s my job to care for you!“

With a teary smile Spider nodded, leaning against Neytiri again. She was warm and her embrace was comfortable. All those years Spider wished for this and now he finally got it…

Slowly but surely everything would turn okay. Spider was sure of that

Quiet love (Neteyam x reader)

Masterlist

Description: You didn’t see the way Neteyam was longing for you, too caught up in why it was impossible anyway. But he was insisting that you were the one he wanted.

Warnings: really insecure reader, that’s all I think

The humans never came back, Neteyam is aged up (like both him and the reader around 19/20)

6336 words

You wished you were more special, you really did. Watching Neteyam being surrounded by all these pretty Na‘vi was breaking your heart, because you knew you would never have a chance with the Olo’eyktans son the way you were. You were just an average healer, even if you were good at what you were doing, you had never had the chance to learn from the tsahìk, that place was snagged by a more popular member of the clan, with influential parents.

Your father had died in the big war, your mother had just found out she was pregnant with you and you were sure she still wasn’t over losing him, even if she put on a strong face. Your mother was such a gentle soul though, always being there for you and supporting your decisions. She herself wasn’t a healer, she was responsible for foraging. You also were happy that she didn’t pressure you to find a mate, now that you were a full member of the clan, instead telling you to take your time, as the decision was an important one.

As if you could ever imagine being with someone other than Neteyam, your heart bound to be broken the moment he finally decided on a mate - which surely wouldn’t be you. He could pick from the strongest warriors, best singers or most talented healers, the most beautiful women of the clan. You were quiet and soft, gentle like your mother, not a hardened warrior or a confident singer - you blended into the background. You were somewhat acquainted with the Sully kids, having a few short conversations here and there with Neteyam too, his little sister Tuk had taken a liking to you, accompanying you into the forest when you had to pick new herbs and plants and Kiri was one of your few friends.

You watched the other girls throw themselves at the firstborn of Jake Sully a little longer, standing at the edge of the village, before being interrupted by the youngest of the family. „(Y/N)!“, Tuk hugged you around the waist, making you laugh softly and you took her into your arms. „Hello Tuk“, you greeted her and she excitedly pulled at your hand. „Can we go explore the forest today? Nobody wants to go with me and sa‘nu said I can go if you come!“, she jumped up and down with a cute grin, making it impossible for you to say no. (Mommy)

„Of course, where do you want to go?“, you gently stroked her head and let yourself be pulled along into the bushes and away from the commotion of the village. „Lo‘ak and Kiri told me about this really pretty clearing with lerìk flowers and I want to gather some“, she explained, leading you through the plants that were growing in your way. „That sounds awesome“, you giggled and were honestly kind of eager to see the clearing yourself - maybe you could pick some flowers for your mother.

What you didn’t know, was that Neteyam couldn’t take his eyes off of you when you left the village with his little sister. Eywa, he was awed by your beauty and the gentle nature you always cared for Tuk with. His parents were urging him to pick a mate since he had passed his Iknimaya, telling him that they didn’t want to put any pressure on him, but that the whole village was waiting for his decision. Yeah, no pressure at all, he thought with scoff.

He had made his decision already - it would always be you. But he didn’t know how to go about this, you were so quiet and soft, not throwing yourself at him like the others, he didn’t want to scare you away by coming on too strong. Lo‘ak was always teasing him about the way he had no problem facing a palulukan when it came down to it, but confessing his feelings to you - that’s were he couldn’t be brave.

„Do you want me to put them in your hair?“, you offered Tuk, the clearing really being a mesmerizing place. „Yes, yes please!“, she immediately plopped down in your lap and started humming one of her mothers songs. You smiled and started fixing the small purple flowers in her hair, one after the other. You loved slow days like this, the hustle of the village exhausting you quickly. Another reason why you weren’t the right one to stand next to the future Olo’eyktan, you thought and your smile dropped a little.

„You looked so pretty!“, you exclaimed with a grin and the little girl hugged you happily. „Can I do your hair too?“, she was already taking some of the flowers into her small hands, and you nodded in agreement, turning around so she could access your head better. You could tell she was working with utmost concentration. When she was done she ran around to your front, a huge smile on her face. „You look so so pretty!“, she giggled and you pulled her into your arms with a laugh. „Not as pretty as you syulang‘it“, you were tickling her and she writhed around in your arms a little before you let up. (small flower)

You two totally forgot the time, engrossed in making some flower crowns and when you finally looked up you saw it was almost eclipse. „Oh Tuk!“, you gasped, „we need to get back, it’s late already!“ The little girl looked up from her now finished work too, standing up when she noticed you were right. „Come on“, you smiled and held out your hand for her, you two trekking back through the forest that got darker and darker. When you were halfway there, you noticed Tuk got slower and slower and when you looked back, she was yawning so big you could see her cute little canines peaking out.

„Come here sweet girl“, you giggled and picked her up, her head immediately falling onto your shoulder. Eywa, she was so sweet it made you think of having children of your own, a family and a mate - in a fantasy that you pushed far away, that mate was Tuks oldest brother. You hummed slightly, walking through the now dark and bioluminescent forest in peace, knowing there were only a few more corners to turn before you reached the village again.

Suddenly you heard a twig snap behind you and froze. If this was some sort of predator, you were more or less helpless, a sleeping child in your arms and no real self defense skills - except some basics you were taught when you were younger. Your heart hammered in your chest, you eyes wide in fear and you slowly turned around, not wanting to startle whatever was behind you.

You let out a shocked gasp when you saw Neteyam standing right behind you with a concerned expression, then you felt immediate relief. „Don’t scare me like that!“, you whisper-yelled, but the worry in his eyes didn’t fade. „We thought something happened! Are you two alright?“, he stepped even closer, grabbing your shoulder with one hand and placing the other on Tuks back.

Your heart was beating so loud you were sure he could hear it, the heat rising to your face and you were glad it was dark.

„Yes we are alright“, you gave him a calming smile, feeling guilty for making his family worry, „I’m so sorry, I totally forgot the time today.“ You looked away from his intense stare shyly and adjusted your hold on the sleeping child in your arms. He still had his hand on you, and the place where it laid was tingling and the warmth from his touch was spreading through your body. „I’m glad you’re safe“, he said quietly and you could feel his stare on the side of your face.

Neteyam couldn’t stop staring. The way your freckles were glowing in the dark and your soft hair with the small flowers in it was falling over your shoulder, made him want to pull you into his arms, never to let go. Your gentle hold on his little sister was only fueling his imagination of a future with you. You would be such a great mother, preferably to his children. Eywa, the thought of you bearing another man’s children made the bile rise in his throat. „Come on, we should head back“, he shook the unpleasant thoughts off and gently took the child out of your arms, trying not to wake her.

As cute as Tuk was, she was getting heavy and you were glad Neteyam took over. But when he wrapped his tail around your waist, guiding you forward, you nearly stumbled and fell flat on your face. This was torture and bliss and the same time, your body was going crazy and you were happily sucking in every bit of attention he gave you, but you knew the more you would obsess over your feelings, the harder the inevitable fall would be. But you didn’t care in that moment, the tight grip he had on you and the way he would glance at you every so often made your heart flutter.

—————————

You sat in the shade of a tree close to the edge of the village with Kiri, the both of you busy with weaving new baskets for your herbs and healing supplies today. You sat in comfortable silence until Kiri let out a huge sigh, making you look up. „What is it?“, you giggled slightly at the annoyed look in her eyes. „My brother won’t stop staring at you, I swear he’s such a skxawng“, she chuckled and you were confused. „What?“, you asked and looked around until you locked eyes with Neteyam, who was sitting together with a group of young warriors fixing their weapons.

His eyes widened when yours met his and he sent you a small smile, making you blush and drop your gaze. „Don’t be silly Kiri, why would he stare at me“, you were sure that he was just looking around and accidentally met your gaze, Kiri liked to tease you after all. „What? Are you blind? Neteyams so in love with you it’s almost disgusting“, she giggled and now you were sure she was messing with you. „Kiri, why on earth would that be true?“, you looked at her so seriously her giggling stopped and she was slightly confused.

Kiri was honestly astonished, couldn’t you see the way her brother longed for you? „Why wouldn’t it be true?“, she asked back, putting down the basket she was working on and focusing her attention on you. „I know you like to tease me, but you shouldn’t joke about something like this. Kiri, he has so many more beautiful, more talented and more confident mates to choose from, he would never settle for me“, she could see the hurt in your eyes when you fiddled with your work, and it left her slightly speechless. „I’m not- I wouldn’t…I swear-”, you cut her off immediately. „Please, just let it be“, you whispered, and she decided to let the topic rest for now. She knew her friend was shy and quiet, but she didn’t know you were so…insecure about yourself.

You weren’t mad at Kiri for messing with you, she couldn’t know that the feelings you had for her brother were so serious that you didn’t allow yourself any kind of hope they could ever be reciprocated in fear of how much it would hurt in the end. You were sure she thought you had a crush on him, just like every girl in the village, and decided to tease you a bit. You could never be angry at her. But this conversation brought your thoughts back to the topic you normally tried to steer clear of, your concentration long gone, making you put your basket down and get up.

„I’ll see you at dinner?“, you tried to smile, and the younger girl got up with you. „(Y/N) I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you sad“, she looked so guilty, you softly squeezed her shoulder in encouragement. „It’s not your fault, it’s just…“, your eyes wandered off to where Neteyam was talking to Nansìt, a pretty singer of the clan, „…there’s no hope.“ You squeezed her shoulder one last time and walked off, needing some time to yourself. Would you ever get over these feelings?

When dinnertime finally came around, you sat in your usual spot with Kiri, at the edge of the circle so you could talk in peace. Both of you didn’t like to be the center of attention, your mother was always sitting with the adults and socialized. „Yeah and then Tuk jumped on top of-”, she paused, looking to the middle of the dinner crowd. You were looking where she was in wonder, eyes immediately falling onto Neteyam who was making his way towards you two. „Can I sit with you?“, he smiled down at you both, food in his hand and tail flickering behind him.

„Yes sure“, Kiri answered, your throat was clamped shut anyway. Neteyam chose to sit down next to you, his knee touching yours slightly, your ears twitching treacherously. And then the little traitor next to you decided to leave. „I forgot I promised mom to…watch Tuk“, she didn’t even try to find a good excuse, but you couldn’t concentrate on anything else than the way your stomach was tingling so much, you couldn’t even think of eating any more.

„Are you well (Y/N)?“, Neteyam smiled at you, noticing the way your ears twitched in his presence. Eywa, you were just so cute. „Yes I am, thank you, are you?“, you were still not looking at him, your pretty big eyes trained on the floor. Lo‘ak had convinced him to finally ask you to spent time with him today, he was still nervous, but he couldn’t wait anymore. He wanted you to be his. „I am good. (Y/N) I wanted to ask you something“, he took a deep breath, and you finally looked up curiously.

„Do you want to-”, he is cut off by a highpitched voice above him. „Neteyam there you are! You promised you would tell us about your last hunting trip“, it was Zetire, one of his many admirers. You immediately looked back down and he sighed. „I’m busy right now“, he normally wasn’t that rough, but he was annoyed, he didn’t want to spend any time with the other Na‘vi girls, he wanted to sit here with you. „Oh come one, I’m sure (Y/N) won’t mind“, when the girl mentioned your name you winced slightly, and all he wanted to do was take you into his arms and tell the other girl to leave you alone.

„No, no I don’t mind“, you quietly said and Neteyam wished you told him to stay, he honestly would do anything you would tell him. „See, come on then“, Zetire hauled him up by his upper arm, her touch uncomfortable and his eyes never leaving your form. He didn’t want to cause a scene though, he knew you didn’t like the attention. He would have to ask you tomorrow.

„He really is an idiot isn’t he“, Lo‘ak watched the scene with a shake of his head, his sister next to him already had her face buried in her hands. „They are impossible“, she groaned, she thought this was finally it, you could finally be happy. That stupid ngwang, why did she have to interrupt the moment! (Worm)

————————

You had been busy all day, and you were glad you were, because you had successfully suppressed the memory of dinner the evening before. You hated how you just crumbled under the gaze of the other female, you liked Neteyam so much, why couldn’t you be brave, why didn’t you ask him to stay. Not that you thought you were better company than Zetire, but even if you had the smallest chance with him, the way you were acting would surely destroy that immediately.

You were nearly wrapping up for the day, when someone stumbled into the healing tent. And your heart skipped a beat when you realized that someone was Neteyam. He had a few big scratches on his biceps, a few places still bleeding. „What happened?“, you immediately got up from where you were sorting some bandages, pushing the tall warrior to sit down on one of the cots. „It’s not that bad, just a viperwolf getting too close“, he explained and you looked at him with concern, taking out your healing supplies.

He loved the way you looked at him with those big eyes, worrying about his well-being. You would be the perfect mate he just knew it, and he would always provide for you and protect your smaller frame from any harm, being a good and worthy mate to you. He just had to convince you of that too. You registered his explanation with a soft nod, your small hands already working on cleaning and patching up his wounds. He just leaned back slightly, enjoying the feeling of your gentle touch on him.

You wrapped his biceps in a bandage softly, the bulging muscle making you flustered. His gaze was on you the whole time, and now that you were finally done, you were wondering why he didn’t go to his grandma about this. She was a more seasoned healer after all. „Why did you come to me? Was your grandmother busy?“, you looked at him with wondering eyes, about to stand up, but he pulled you back down next to him softly. „No, I wanted to come to you“, he smiled at you, his hand not leaving your arm, your tail swishing behind you.

„Neteyam“, you whispered slightly, obviously overwhelmed by all this attention, but Neteyam didn’t care, he couldn’t wait anymore. „Come fly with me tomorrow?“, he finally asked you the question that he wanted to forever, the idea of spending time alone with you making him giddy. You looked shocked at his suggestion.

„On…on your ikran?“, you were slightly terrified, not being a warrior yourself, you had never flown on a banshee before. „Yes, I would really like to spent some time with you“, his smile made you feel all fuzzy inside, he really wanted to spent time with you! „I will protect you, don’t worry“, he reassured you, softly squeezing your arm, and you felt yourself nod slowly. „Great, I’ll find you tomorrow“, he grinned, his tail swishing happily behind him when he left the tent. Oh Eywa, you really hoped your heart would live through this.

————————

You were nervous all day, completely distracted during everything you were doing and about an hour before eclipse, Neteyam approached you when you were hanging up some herbs to dry. „Ready?“, he was grinning again, his ears twitching slightly. „Yes sure, let’s go“, you took a deep breath, following the future clan leader into the forest. You could feel a few glares on your back, the other Na‘vi women seemingly not happy at the sight of him leading you somewhere where you would be alone.

It was hard not to get your hopes up, your heart grasping onto every small and oh so pathetic possibility of him returning your feelings. You walked in comfortable silence, Neteyam was vigilant about everything going on around him, his bow slung across his back. His toned, broad and muscular back. His tail was alertly swishing from left to right, sometimes the tip would brush your thigh, making your breath falter and your body shiver.

Neteyam had a hard time only brushing his tail against you every now and then, he could feel it made you nervous and he loved every second of it. But what he really wanted to do was wrap it around your thigh and keep you close, making sure he knew you were safe the whole way. When you two finally stepped out of the treeline and had a view of the hallelujah mountains, he called out for his ikran who landed infront of you two after a short while.

The mighty beast infront of you beating his wings intimidated you to no end, your hand immediately grabbing onto Neteyams arm. He sent you a smirk over his shoulder. „Mawey, just don’t look into his eyes“, he patted your hand softly, pulling you forward after he made tsaheylu with his banshee. You had to admit that the beast was mesmerzingly beautiful, but it could also crush you easily with one of its claws so you had your reservations.

The tall warrior loved how you clutched onto him for protection, proud that you trusted him enough to ride with him when you were so obviously scared of it. Before you could change your mind, he picked you up easily by your small waist, putting you down on his ikran and hopping on behind you. Normally if he took someone with him, they would sit behind him, but he figured you would feel more comfortable if he had your back. Also, he couldn’t wait to pull you into his chest, breathing in your scent and enjoying the feeling of you so close to him.

When the strong Na‘vi behind you pulled you close, caging you in with his muscular arms and taking the reigns, you couldn’t even focus on the foreign feeling of the animal underneath you, you were totally preoccupied with not passing out. „Are you ready?“, his breath warmed your ear, making them twitch slightly and without thinking you wrapped your tail around his calf. „Yes“, you were speaking so quietly you weren’t sure he heard you, but he wrapped his own tail around your waist in response and the ikran took off.

Your hands were gripping the saddle so tightly your knuckles turned light blue, but you couldn’t bring yourself to close your eyes, the vast of the forest beneath you and the floating rocks around you were just too memerizing. And you had to admit, tucked into Neteyam like this, you felt kind of secure. His scent enveloped you, making you calm down, but you were also heating up because of his strong chest pressed against you.

Neteyam made sure not to fly too rough, eventhough he would love to show off his skills, he felt you gradually relax against him and didn’t want you to feel unsafe. Your big eyes were in awe at the scenery around you, your scent making him feel like he could do this forever, he was already dreading having to let you go later on. Your tail around his calf made his ears twitch in excitement, everytime he flew between two close mountains it would tighten. He had never been this close to you, your embrace almost intimate, and he loved every second.

You two flew in silence for what felt like ages, the presence of the other enough to be content. But when eclipse rolled around and the bioluminescent forest started to come to live, you landed right where you started earlier. When you felt Neteyams tail slowly let go of your waist, your own tail hesitantly let go of his leg, you really didn’t want this dreamy evening to end and reality to settle in. He jumped down and helped you off his ikran too, holding onto your waist until the beast was gone.

„Thank you for taking me ‘Teyam“, you smiled when you finally found your voice again, a grin breaking out across his handsome face. „Thank you for trusting me enough to come“, he chuckled and you blushed, your gaze dropping to the floor and you missed the dreamy look on his face. „Are you going to attend the feast in two days?“, he asked you and a frown made its way onto your face. „I don’t know, I didn’t plan to“, you admitted and the unhappy look on his face tugged at your heart.

„I know you don’t like the hustle and big crowds, but I would really like to see you there“, he tried to convince you, taking your smaller hand and holding it to his chest, making you all flustered. He planned to lead you away from the crowd after a while and finally confess to you, asking you to mate with him. You still seemed unsure, but nodded softly. „I’ll be there“, you promised and the grin that broke out across his face was almost blinding.

——————————

Your brain was going haywire the whole time your mother was fixing your hair and pushing and pulling on your tweng and top. What on earth were you even doing here? You hated going to these big feasts, normally fleeing the village center and reading one of the books you got from the scientist in your hammock. And what were you even expecting to come from today? Neteyam was probably going to be busy anyway, his admirers were never going to let you near him. But the way you two were so close and touchy two days ago, made your hopes uncontainable.

„Why do you look so sad ma’ite? Aren’t you excited Neteyam wants you to be there?“, your mother stroked your hair softly, worry in her eyes. „I don’t know, I’m scared“, you grabbed onto her hand, and she pulled your head towards her. „Why?“, she asked, patiently waiting for your answer. „What if I’m interpreting too much into this? There are going to be so many pretty Na’vi woman there this evening. What if…I’ll get my heart broken tonight“, you whispered the last part, a thousand scenarios of rejection and humiliation running through your mind.

„I can’t believe someone as kind as the Olo’eyktans son would be so cruel ma (Y/N)“, she reassured you, and you just nodded halfheartedly. You knew Neteyam wouldn’t hurt your feelings on purpose, but if you saw this all wrong and he had no interest in you whatsoever - maybe he was just nice to you because you were so close to Tuk and Kiri - you would get your heart broken today. You wished you weren’t so shy and insecure, you would love to just enjoy this evening.

You arrived at the feast a little late, everyone already gathered, a few fires burning and music was being played. You were immediately stolen away by Kiri, your mother waving to you and telling you to have a good time. „I’m so glad you came! It would have been unbearable without you, I swear“, Kiri told you and you laughed at your excited friend, but your eyes were scanning the crowd for a certain someone.

„He’s not here yet, had to help Tuk get ready, she was throwing some kind of tantrum earlier“, Kiri smiled knowingly and you looked away blushing. „You two are so cute I swear“, Kiri laughed pinching your cheek, and you swatted her hand away unhappily. „Stop it“, you scolded her, but she just giggled, but then her face turned annoyed. „Oh, I’ll be right back, I see Lo‘ak sneaking off over there that skxawng“, she hissed and tried to catch her brother before he could do something reckless.

You smiled at their antics and settled down in a spot in a less crowded area, contentedly watching the people around you. „Did you hear?“, you heard a woman a few feet away ask her friend. „I overheard Neteyam has chosen a mate“, both of them were excited at their gossiping, but your heart stumbled slightly. „They said it is Zetire, they were seen in the village together yesterday“, the first woman spoke, and you were praying to Eywa that this was just a stupid rumor, your heart only just gaining a little bit of hope for itself. „They would make a perfect pair“, the other woman gushed, and you begrudgingly had to admit they were right. Had you really interpreted everything wrong?

„Oh look, there they are!“, you followed the direction where she pointed, and sure enough Neteyam was standing there talking to Zetire who was hanging onto his biceps. The women next to you were actually right, and everything you had let yourself believe these past days shattered inside of your chest. How could you have been so stupid! Of course he would choose her, she was a more than gifted singer and would stand strongly by his side. The thought alone made tears gather in your eyes, but you didn’t want the other clan members to see, so you got up to find a quiet place in the forest. Why did he even want you to come in the first place?

But you didn’t get very far, before a male voice interrupted you. You immediately knew it wasn’t Neteyam. „(Y/N), wait!“, but you didn’t stop, only coming to a halt when a big hand grabbed your upper arm, the touch making you uncomfortable. „Hey wait a second“, Terlsey grinned down at you, and you had to admit eventhough he was good looking, your heart would always be spoken for. „Do you want to join me for a dance?“, he looked excited and you felt bad for turning him down, but the picture of Neteyam and Zetire was still burned into your mind. „I’m sorry Tersley, maybe another time“, your voice was barely stable and the smile you gave was probably more pathetic than you wanted. „Nah don’t be silly, come on!“, you started to protest when he pulled you along, but before he could get very far someone else pulled you away from him vigorously.

Neteyam had been searching for you the moment he finally arrived at the feast, he was already annoyed at being too late. He perked up when he found you sitting in a quiet corner, and excitedly made his way towards you. You didn’t see him, and halfway there Zetire basically jumped him. „Neteyam! There you are, come on sit with us!“, she tried to pull him away, but Neteyam stayed where he was. He really didn’t have time for this.

„I can’t, I have other plans“, he explained, trying to pry her hand off of him, his eyes making sure you were still there. But you weren’t where he last saw you, instead you were standing a few meters back, together with Tersley. That annoying skxawng. You looked like you were uncomfortable, his protective instincts wanting to knock the man next to you out. His gaze darkened, completely tuning out whatever Zetire was babbling about and when that bastard grabbed onto your arm and tried to pull you away, he roughly shook the girl next to him off, leaving her pouting.

He rushed over and pulled you into his chest and out of the other’s arms, his heart unclenching a little bit at your proximity. „Don’t touch her“, he growled, his fangs baring and Tersleys eyes widened, his hands raising in surrender. „Alright, alright“, he scowled, but knew he had no chance against the future clan leader, ultimately leaving you alone. But what Neteyam didn’t expect was you shaking him off and quickly walking into the forest without a comment.

You couldn’t face him, you were embarrassed enough as it was, honestly thinking he could ever like you back. And him seeing you cry would be so humiliating, so you quickly marched through the dark forest, hoping that he wouldn’t follow you, your tears flowing down your cheeks one by one, your heart hurting inside your chest. But of course he was following you, he was probably pitying the poor, shy girl. „(Y/N)! (Y/N) stop!“, he was shouting behind you and you sped up, but after a few more meters he had caught you gently by your upper arm, pulling you around. „Please wait“, he was panting slightly, the tips of his ears dowturned with concern.

„Can I please be alone?“, you whispered, discreetly trying to wipe away your tears. „Are you crying? What did that skxawng do to you? Are you hurt?“, he was frantic, his eyes checking your body for injuries. „No it’s not about him“, you sniffled slightly and before you had a chance to escape, Neteyam pulled you down on a log that was behind you two. The bioluminescence of the forest helping you see his face, a few glowing insects flying in the air.

„What is it then?“, Neteyam was worried about you, the girl he loved was hurting and he didn’t know how to help you. When you attempted to shake off the hand that was still holding your arm, he let you go, but it hurt his heart that you didn’t want his touch. „It doesn’t matter, please“, you wouldn’t meet his gaze either, „you should go back, Zetire is probably already waiting.“ Now he was confused, why would he care about her?

„What? I don’t care about her waiting for me, my priority is you“, he was speaking quietly, trying to get you to open up to him. „Neteyam stop that, I don’t want your pity“, you turned your face away from him. „(Y/N) please, I don’t understand“, he was getting desperate, having no idea what was happening. You let out a deep sigh, wiping at your tears again and there was nothing he wanted to do more than his hands being the ones to dry them. „I heard you chose a mate“, you finally gave him something to work with, eventhough he didn’t understand why you were crying, he was certain you liked him too.

„Yes I did“, he smiled and tried to take your hand, but you pulled yours away, his smile dropping immediately. „She is a good choice, you must be happy“, you whispered and your hands were fiddling with eachother in your lap, your head turned down. „She is perfect, but I can’t say I’m happy right now, because she seems to be hurting and I don’t know why“, he moved closer to you, relieved when you didn’t move away. „Zetire seemed more than delighted, what do you mean?“, your eyes finally met his, and the sad, heartbroken look in them almost made him wince.

„What does Zetire have to do with any of this?“, he was getting frustrated, you could see it. „I don’t understand, she is the one you chose isn’t she? Or is it someone else? Nansìt?“, you thought about all the beautiful women who would immediately agree to be his mate. Suddenly his face got all serious, and his big hands firmly, but gently, grabbed your face as it dawned on him that this was some kind of cruel misunderstanding. „(Y/N), how could you ever think I would want anyone else but you?“, he sounded so sure of himself, and you felt like your heart stopped in your chest.

„Me? But I’m…I mean why would you want me? I‘m way too shy, I hate big crowds and I’m not even overly talented in what I do. The other girls would be a much better choice to stand by your side as the next Olo’eyktan”, your voice was quiet, but he heard you and immediately shot down any doubts you had. „I don’t care about any of the other girls. You are the one I want to mate with. Ma (Y/N) you are perfect, you are so gentle with everyone, the way you care for Tuk makes me yearn for our own children, you are always helping the ones who need it and you are such a talented healer. Not to mention you are beyond beautiful. You are the one I want to spent my life with ma tìyawn“, he pressed his forehead to yours, wiping your tears away softly.

„'Teyam“, you whispered, speechless at the realization that he actually returned your feelings. He smiled at the pet name. „I see you (Y/N)“, he softly stroked your jaw, your face heating up at his confession. Your hands hesitantly wrapped around his neck, a gentle smile lighting up your face. „I see you ma Neteyam“, you whispered, a grin breaking out across his face, his excitingly swishing tail curling around your waist and pulling you even closer.

His eyes darted down to your lips, and your stomach was tingling overwhelmingly at the thought of what would happen next. When you accepted his advances by leaning a little closer yourself, he couldn’t hold back anymore and he softly met your lips with his. The feeling was indescribable, you felt like your body was on fire - in a good, pleasant way. His lips moved carefully and his hands ran down your body, gripping your hips and pulling you onto his lap, making you gasp and break the kiss.

The girl in his lap was blushing madly, but he didn’t care, he was so thrilled that you returned his feelings, making him kiss all over your face excitedly. „'Teyam stop it“, you were giggling so adorably, and he stopped with a lovesick grin on his face. Finally having you in his embrace like this made him implode with pride. He would never let you go. „Please tell me you want to be my mate“, he wanted to make sure you were his. You nodded and he kissed you softly before shaking his head.

„I need to hear you say it ma txe’lan, say that you’ll be mine“, he murmered against your lips. „I’m yours Neteyam“, and that sentence alone made him want to take you to the tree of souls right now, his body telling him to claim you. But he didn’t want to rush you, tonight he just wanted to hold you tight and kiss you as much as you would let him. „Mine“, he hummed contently and kissed you with a little bit more vigor, pulling all these sweet sounds from you. „Yours“, you sighed against his lips, you couldn’t believe you were so lucky. But when he softly traced your lips with his tongue, one of his hands wrapping around your back to hold you as close as possible, you knew he was yours.
