summary: Adjusting to your life in the forest. The teasing cannot be escaped completely but slowly you are gaining more freedom and knowledge of your new home. At 13 your relationship with a certain na’vi began to spiral into something new.

————————

The years you have been living in the forest have been a gift from Eywa. Shortly after coming here you began training to become tsahík of the clan. Of course at your young age you did not know this and simply thought you were training to become a healer. Your lessons often times were private because of the years you had missed you had a lot of catching up to do. It had been two years before you were even aloud off of the mountain, your father prohibiting you from leaving the area afraid you would get hurt because of the mobility you lack because of your lower body. The story’s from the sully kids kept you entertained enough.

“Y/n you will not believe what happened today!” Busting through your tent door a 12 year old Lo’ak came stumbling to you as you organized the new herbs you were learning. Looking over to the na’vi you urged him to continue as you finished up your task.

“Spider started painting himself blue!”

Rolling out of his squat position the boy fell onto his back as he started to laugh his ass off. You giggled at his grand display as you tried to picture the image in your head. They had described the sky people to you but they lived in a camp on the ground so you had never seen one. It was hard to imagine such a strange creature.

Lo’ak and tuk were usually the ones telling you crazy stories every afternoon, they seemed to always find you not matter where you were. Kiri always brought gifts and she would teach you the omatikaya way of weaving in the free time you shared while you would share your metkayina weaving skills with her putting the seashells you brung to use. Although you moved away your father still taught you certain things like weaving, and hairstyles of your old clan. He would not admit that he simply had no idea how to do omaticaya woman hairstyles. It did not bother you because where he lacked the woman who fancied him would always lend a helping hand to you if you asked them to do your hair. Having a high rank warrior as a father came with perks.

You spent most of your free time with kiri basking in nature and exploring the mountains. You began to grow as time passed and a new skirt was weaved for you but this time it was if omaticaya fabric. After two years of being best friends with kiri you finally took off your skirt showing her your lower half. Of course she was consumed with joy as she examined your foreign features and complimented them non stop. She finally understood why you were so much faster than her in the lakes you would swim in. You did not share your secret with anyone else kiri was the only na’vi besides your father who knew about your strange shape. This strengthened your bond and put a seal on your friendship.

Neteyam was usually busy but he always made time for you. Eventually you gave in to his pleading and taught him sign language in return he helped you conquer your fear of heights and now you traveled through the mountains with ease.

“Woah, water girl is getting fast on the vines.” His voice whisked away swiftly as he took long strides to past you.

“You wont be laughing when I pass you in a couple years!” Yelling ahead you took carful but fast strides as you attempted to catch up to the boy. It was not easy as he was a head and a couple inches taller than you. Damn the boy for hitting his grow-pert before you. Rushing off the vines your broke into a sprint as your feet touched the soft grass, the forest na’vi in front of you turned around as he braced your body as it collided with him.

“Woah slow down there tiger.” Neteyam flashed you a smile as you looked up at him from his chest.

“One day your gonna break my nose doing that” Huffing you push yourself off the boys chest as you make your way to your spot. You hoped he would not see the way your ears turned purple as you walked away. You heard fast steps as the boy jogged to catch up to you.

“What are you teaching me today?”

“We’ll see what you remember.” You teased as you sat down on a big moss covered rock. Neteyam sat in front of you as you guys began to converse in sign language. Although both of you had never said anything it was an unspoken rule that this was your spot. It was far in the first mountain he had even taken you too, this is where the big mossy rock sat. There was always beautiful rays of sunlight shinning perfectly through the trees and the the plants surrounded it so when eclipse hit it would light up your surrounding in the most beautiful ways. Your favorite part though was the tiny pond that was to the left of the rock. It was not big enough to swim in but perfect to cool off on a hot day in the forest.

The third year you were here nothing changed much your relationships stayed strong. You had figured out that the other kids would talk about you but they never said it to your face because you always hung out with the sullys. They did not want to risk getting on the bad side of their future leaders. Whenever you father would go out on hunting trips you practically lived with the sullys, and once neteyam tamed his Ikran your father finally let you go down to the ground. The boy was happy to fly with you, and you were excited to finally meet this Spider boy they talked about.

The first time you saw the blond human your mouth hanged slack as you looked at the tiny thing. You were even more shocked to find out he was older than you! The lab did a number on how your views as you were introduced to many of the humans the sullys talked about every day, you felt as if you were on another planet.

“Woah kiri this is your mom?” Looking at the girl in amazement you looked into the weird bubble that held a floating na’vi that they called an ‘avatars’.

“Yep! They do not know how I was made but here I am.” The girl almost seemed sorrowful as she made this statement.

“I believe that Eywa herself gave your mother a gift as a parting.”

Kiri swatted shyly at your comment. “You are too much y/n”

You only beamed at the girl. Kiri had changed in these few years you guessed she had matured. You knew she felt different, and you felt the same, so you always got along. Though her outgoing personality had dulled she was still the Kiri you knew.

“So who do you think knocked her up, i’m pretty sure it was norm.” ruining the sweet moment lo’ak comments turned both of your heads.

“Bro, he’s like in every shot!” Laughing spider pointed to the device you learned was a computer. The boys continued to tease as kiri denied their rude comments.

“I would kill my self, I would drink acid!” Kiri said as she looked as the boys with an unamused looked.

sighing you pulled her away from the boys. “Let them be let’s go explore more of the lab!”

Nodding she sent one last stank eye to the boys as you both sauntered off.

“I think spider likes you” informing kiri in a singsong tone you tell her your observation.

“As if, your too young to know.” Pushing you playfully you both giggle as you explore more parts of the lab.

Neteyam did not have interest in the lab and everyday you would go down he would simply drop you off and pick you up. Like your father Neteyam was strict on his rules and would never let you wander into the forest. He would only bend them a little and occasionally let you walk a mile in. Of course when he was not there the 2 siblings and spider would take you deep but not too deep as you had not had training or knowledge of traveling through the trees.

Your father was not please with your interest in the sky people but did not limit you, hoping you would satisfy your curiosity and forget about them. You were glad he let you have that much freedom, but he still would not allow you to train to become a warrior so you could have your own ikran. Kiri and Lo’ak had tamed their own and ever since then you have wanted to take part in the training as well. You were a skilled healer but you felt left out of the fun stuff, you were only aloud deep in the forest with the other healers when you were gathering herbs and most of the time you could not go because you lacked an Ikran to take you to the locations. It was insufferable but your fathers ruled were rock solid.

————————

On the date that marked your 13th year the clan held a celebration, of course it was not for you ,na’vi did not celebrate birthdays, but it was the day Neteyam passed his Iknimaya. He was the first na’vi in the clan to pass his trials so early and this celebration made his time away from your worth it.

“‘Evi are you ready. The celebration starts soon.” entering your pod your father rushed you to prepare yourself.

“Can you help me with this braid?” Hands tied in your hair you motions to the other side. Your father was quick to get to work helping you finish the braid on the top of your head. They were a couple medium sized braids helping keep your hair out of your face as you let the curls in the back flow down to your waist.

“I am glad you have your natural hair out” Admiring you your father fluffs your curl and you couldn’t help but giggle. You shuffle to your corner of the room as you shut the makeshift curtain that covered your corner of your home. You admired the matching set of black loincloths you wore as you wiggled your, now brown, skirt over your frame hiding your thick tail. You adored the top with the feathers your father had assigned you tonight as the black contrasted nicely with the beautiful colors of brown and white. You put them on over your shoulders as the black cloth covered half of you and the feathers necklace covered the other top of your half.

“How do I look?” Twirling for your father you gave him the full 360 of your outfit.

“You are beautiful ‘evi, now let’s go, tonight is an important night for you too.” Taking your hand father rushed guided you out of the pod. Confused You analyzed your fathers words, how is this night important for me? It’s literally all about Neteyam.

Soon you reached the sight of the festivities and you couldn’t help but feel excitement as you saw all the na’vi dancing. You were quick to find Neteyam as your father sat next to Jake.

“Congratulations Neteyam!” You practically screamed as you walked over to the boy. He seemed fluster by your presence as he looked up at you with suprised eyes. You only laughed as you handed him a bracelet with a seashell weaved into it.

“I wanted to give you this as a gift, to honor your achievements.” Fluster the na’vi took your bracelet, he felt his face heat up and prayed to eywa it was too dark to see. Of course your peering eyes did not see as you studied the white paint smeared all over his body.

“oh my eywa you guys have matching feathers!” Tuk yelled as she approached. Looking down at the boy next to you dread settled in your stomach. You felt guilty as you looked down and started fidgeting.

“I am sorry, I did not know, I was not trying too-”

“Wow, that’s really rude trying to take attention away from him on his big day.” Suddenly an all too familiar voice cut you off. Your eyes immediately met her cold yellow ones. It was Kyna, a female warrior in training about a year older than you. She had never spoken to you until now but you knew she talked shit about you before, and her hateful eyes always seemed to find you in a crowd.

“That was not my intension I truly didn’t know!” cowering from her judgmental gaze you turned your eyes to the ground.

“Kyna, it is fine. It’s y/n’s 13th year anyway she deserves some of the spot light.”

Suddenly the hard spoken girls tone changed as she ignored your existence and began conversing with neteyam.

“Really nete? Well it’s not like much could take the spot light away from you” Giggling she sat down next to the boy as her tail traced up his arm. He only offered an awkward smile in response. The girl continue to talk but you could care less all you felt was this feeling in your gut that made you want to hiss at her in a rage. You did not understand why her touching neteyam made you feel this way.

“I’m going to dance.” Announcing your plan you began to get up but not before Kyna got her nasty comment in.

“maybe it’ll get you into shape with huge legs like that!”

Stomach twisting you made your way to the dance floor trying to keep composed. Of course it did not last long, you could not even dance for one song before you were forced to walk out of the main room. Tuk followed your movement with your eyes, she was not sure why you were sad but she knew it had something to do with the na’vi over there. So, she did what the only reasonable thing in her mind to do was. Skipping over she threw herself into Kynas lap and bit down into her leg.

“Neteyam!! Get your sister off me!! ow!” The girl screamed in pain as tuk’s jaws sunk into the meat of her thigh. The older na’vi only laughed as he quickly picked tuk up and usher her to their mother.

“Ah, you should get that checked out! I must go, I’m sure someone else can help you.” Flashing a kind smile the boy ran off. Not wanting to be around that girl for another second, his only objective was to check on you.

~~~~~

Thoughts stormed through your mind as you made your way to the only safe place you could think of. Your legs took you across the thick vine as you rushed into the forest of the mountain. Tears stained your cheeks as you thought about the girls comment. It brought up memories of the reef kids, of your childhood. You knew the girls talked but having it said straight to your face hurt, what hurt even more was Neteyam did not disagree with the girl. Oh how stupid you were, you knew you had a crush on the boy but to think he was going to think any different than the other na’vis was crazy. Although they could not see your tail you were still a freak with your teal skin, green eyes, and legs that were slightly bigger.

As your mind cleared ended up by the mossy rock dipping your legs into the small pond. The area around you seemed to glow as you swayed your legs in the water that was full of glowing pearls. You let your thoughts run wild as tears dropped down your face, and eventually you could not think anything more. It was like time had stopped and you felt as if you were numb. You allowed your body to slip into the shallow part of the pond, it reached just above your waist soaking the tips of your hair.

“Hey.” The sudden voice knocked you out of your daze. Looking up slowly your eyes met yellow ones that looked almost concerned as they looked at you. You could tell the boy had been running as his chest heaved up as down as he gradually made his way towards you. No words left your mouth to respond as the boy sat next to you.

“Are you ok?” A hand reached out and took one of your curls twirling it around their fingers. You quickly snatched it back as you stood up out of the water. Your skirt clung to your body as you made your way to the Mossy rock, plopping down in front of it so you could use it as a back rest, you brought your knees up to your chest so the boy could not look at your legs. The skirt was long enough to cover you so he couldn’t see in as it stuck to your calf’s and pooled around your feet.

“y/n, please talk to me.” Pleading the boy followed you to the rock as he took his place next to you.

“I am fine.” The burn of his yellow eyes never left you even as you turned your head away from him. Warm hands gently grasped your chin as the boy turned your head.

“Do not lie to me.” Hot tears pooled in the corners of your eyes as he gazed at you with such a soft and caring look. Who does he think he is? Agreeing with her than chasing after you Eywa he was stupid!

“You did not defend me, you agreed with her, so stop playing with me if you think i’m that disgusting to look at! You do not care.” Tears escaped your eyes as you looked into his yellow ones. His face seems to soften as he brung your body into his. You tried to push away but the boy outrivaled you in strength as he held you close.

“I did not agree, but I also did not say anything. I did not know her comment would make feel like this, please do not cry.” You stopped trying to pull away as the boy talked into your ear. He took this as a moment to pull the rest of you onto him so that you were sitting between his legs.

“I do not care what she thinks, in my opinion your body is perfect. More beautiful than all of the clan girls.” Lifting your chin up so he could see your face he smiled down as your eyes looked up to him. His thumb whipped the edge of your eyes clearing them of their tears. “It’s a waste of such beautiful eyes for them to be filled with tears, especially when i’m missing my own party to see them.”

You felt your face grow hot as you processed all his words. You felt stupid for overthinking as he complimented your appearance twisting your curls with his left hand. You could feel his body pressed up against your back as he hugged you close with his right arm.

“I am sorry for making you miss your party.” You spoke softly scared he would change his mind and get angry with you.

“I much rather be with you.” Resting his head on your head he closed his eyes as he relaxed with you in his arms. He was trying to keep himself composed but knew that if it was day the purple hue of his ears would be obvious. He did not want this moment to end as he hugged placed both hands around your waist bringing you in as if you would disappear if he let go.

—————————

The sound of animals around u was the first think you heard as you regained consciousness. Slowly your senses awakened as you peeled your eyes open. Sitting up you felt something fall onto your lower body, looking down there was a dark blue hand draped over your leg’s. The memories of last night came flooding into you brain as you felt your body heat up at the memories. You fell asleep in each-others arms last night! Covering your face you suppressed a scream as you recalled the events. You were a teenage girl after all of course you were going to freak out about cuddling with your crush.

“mmm, eclipse has passed already.” A raspy voice graced your ears as the boy next to you stirred sitting up as well. Your sea green eyes scanned him as he sat up, you could not tear your eyes away from the way his torsos extended as he stretched.

“We should head back, our parents are going to be pissed.” Bringing himself to his feet the boy offered you a hand. Slowly you placed your hand into his as his larger one engulfed yours. The urge to talk about last night consumed your mind but as you looked into his piercing eyes you could not seem to get the words you wanted out. Had it meant nothing to him? He did not seemed fazed in the slightest at the display of affection he gave last night. Not having the courage to pry you let him pull you up as you trailed behind him, making your way to Highcamp. No words were spoken as the whole way. Sadness consumed you as your brain has come up with the conclusion that he regretted it, he simply was trying to cheer you up. You only felt shame and embarrassment on the long walk to high camp, he had successfully led you on.

On the other hand Neteyam was barley keeping his composure. He was shocked at his bold display, hell be even fell asleep with you pressed against him. He thought he could keep his cool but was wrong, the moment your sea green eyes met his he felt his stomach do flips. The boy swore that anymore contact with you would make him combust. He did not even notice the tension too busy freaking out about last night. He knew he was suppose to be promised to someone but he couldn’t help but fall in love with your shy but playful persona.

The sound of a horn signaled your arrival and while neteyam felt sad knowing he would soon be torn away from you, but you felt relief wanting nothing more than to leave the boy you thought was toying with you. Your relief was quickly replaced with anxiety as an angry Jake and Antu came stomping towards the two of you.

“Boy are you crazy?! Ditching the most important part of the celebration than going MIA for the night?”

Jake grabbed Neteyams arms as his enraged eyes switched to you. “Your coming too.” Dread settled in your stomach as you followed the chief. You looked to your father who was behind you but only got a disappointed head shake in return.

The two of you were soon sat in the chiefs pod as he lectured the two of you, Neteyam got most of it and you couldn’t help but feel guilty as you watched the boys ears droop. Fighting the lump in your throat you finally forced a sentence out.

“It was my fault, He came to find me after I ran off” Once your words were spoken a deathly silence filled the room. Glancing to the side you saw Neteyam yellow eyes widen. Jake only sighed as he looked for Antu for help not wanting to scold a child that was not his. Your father peered at you with disappointed eyes as he processed your words.

“Now why on Eywas green planet would you run off after I told you how important that night was.” You could not look your father in the eyes as you peered down at your legs. You felt the lump in your throat break as you let tears fall from your eyes. All the feelings you felt from the night before came crashing back like a wave, all because of the memory of Kynas one comment.

Antus eyes softened as he heard your crys but before he could reach you another pair of arms was already around your figure. Neteyams yellow eyes burned with slight rage as he looked at the men that had brought you to tears.

“Kyna was targeting her last night, I guess it brought some stuff from here time on the reef.”

At the boys words both men shared a soft look almost as if agreeing to let this slide. The men waited for you to gain your composure as Neteyam ran his hand down your back calming your sniffles.

“We will find another way to announce the news to the clan than.” Sighing jake rubbed his face with his hand as he processed his thoughts.

“what news?” Softly the words left your tired vocal cords as you peered at the men who seemed to be brainstorming.

“You and neteyam are to be mated.” Father stated it as if this was common knowledge and you couldn’t help but open your mouth slightly in shock. The Na’vi next you shared a similar look as his eyes search your green ones.

“But we do not see eachother.” You stated what you thought was a fact trying to save the boy from being trapped in a relationship with a freak like you. Neteyam on the other hand was hurt by your statement as he scanned your tiny body trying to figure out where he miss read your signs.

“You will one day ‘Evi, now you kids go to your lessons, you’ve caused enough trouble today.” Suddenly turning stern your father ordered the two of you out. Quickly you scrambled to your feet and obeyed as Neteyam dragged himself behind you.

“Are you ok? Your father was awfully hard on you.” You shot the boy a concerned look as you turned to face him.

“Why do you care? You do not see me.” Poison dripped from the boys words as he pushed himself past you. You felt hurt by the exchange as you watched the boy stomp off. He really was upset about last night….
