promises ; neteyam sully
navi
wc: 376
warnings: angst ? spoilers !!!
a/n: i had to tag along w my mom for brunch at her friend's place and there's no signal/wifi here, wrote out of boredom. also i don't think neteyam wore any war paint?? but lets js say he did <3 ++ talk to me by cavetown.
— putting on facepaint on neteyam
neteyam is strong, a key pillar in his family besides his father and mother, and a protector of his siblings. he watches as you dip your fingers into the paint, the liquid slightly dripping. his heart flutters when you meet his eyes, and when your fingers meet his cheeks.
"i am scared." he whispers, his hands coming to rest on your waist.
"you've come out of things like this safe and sound every time, my neteyam."
he knows you meant to sound reassuring, but he can feel the tremble in your voice. you both know that this time is different. the air is tense and the people are braving themselves. neteyam wasn't going off for a raid where he'd simply be keeping watch, this time he was fighting a war.
"shit," the first swipe across his cheeks held too much paint, the liquid trickling down, mimicking tears.
neteyam wonders if you'll be alright while he's away, if you're this disturbed while he's still in front of you, what more when he leaves?
when you're wiping off the mess, his hands come up to hold your wrists still.
"you're right, i'll be okay. it would be a waste not to come home to you after becoming a hero," he jokes, trying to draw out a smile from you.
it works, albeit teary. his hands drop to your sides again as you clear your throat. he smiles, seeing the new found courage shining in your eyes. with each streak, he feels every ounce of emotion you had engraved on his skin. every wish of his safety, and your future with him, made clear.
he holds your heart close to his even in his last moments, even when the water has washed the paint off, however, the blood wouldn't seem to go. he knows back in metkayina you're fiddling with your songcord, hoping he'd keep his promise.
and in his last breaths, all he wants is to fulfill that promise. neteyam has never broken a promise made to you before. the air slips from his lungs and his heart aches for your touch. he feels his body grow cold and he only wishes you were there to hug him warm.
"i want to go home."
home, where you are.

"Why am I your son but not like you?"
A/N: Kinda short but I tried. Done this at midnight.
Summary: Spider is seen down in the dumps by the Sully children. Lo'ak came to you to inform you of your son's behavior. Spider denies of anything wrong but a mother knows.
The curtain to your marui is pulled aside to reveal a young Na'vi that is very well known to you. Lo'ak stepped forward into the home and smiled politely but his eyes seemed to hold nervousness. "Y/N, sorry to bother you but uh..It's Spider..."
The feelings of dread, fear, concern, curosity all bubbled in your gut. To imagine your own child in danger made you uneasy.
The healing herbs are forgotten as you stood up to full height. Placing gentle hands on Lo'ak's shoulders, you looked into his golden irises. "Lo'ak, has something happened?"
He shrugged his shoulders a little as he shook his head. "No clue. If something did happen, he won't say."
A deep sigh built up in your lungs and then out your nose. It sure sounds like him. "Alright. Thank you, son. I will talk to the boy."
Spider sat by the waters' edge with his feet and ankles submerged in the ocean. His eyes looked passed the waves toward the horizon. He lifted a hand, watching as the sand slipped in his grasp and slowly fell onto the sandy earth.
He whipped his head to look behind him and his shoulders sagged after he saw it was you. "Hi, Ma..." He looked like a kicked puppy. He turned his head back to the blue ocean. "I thought you were busy with Ronal."
"I was but then I headed to the marui to find you. When you weren't there, I guessed you were with Lo'ak." You paused and looked over at the human boy. "What is wrong, 'itan."
Spider shook his head, the dreaded blonde locks swishing. He played with his fingers, his eyes downcast. "It's nothing. Just stupid thoughts."
Your hand being placed on his shoulder made him glance over under his lashes. Your soft voice spoke out as you applied a gentle squeeze to his shoulder. "Spider, it is not stupid if it is bothering you. Speak, boy."
Silent moments passed by before he looked up at you. "Why am I your son but not like you?" His voice sounded small, meak. There were times you noticed that he was more vulnerable like this. Times where he felt like just a small child again.
"Oh my dear boy.." You reached out and brought his smaller body closer to your's. He relaxed into your embrace, especially when your long fingers combed through his hair. "You may not be Na'vi, but I am your mother. Don't forget that."
Spider sighed and his arms wrapped around your torso as his head rested at your side. He felt like a little kid again, nuzzling into his mother's warmth for comfort. "Nga yawne lu oer, Mom."
A small genuine smile graced your lips as you placed a light kiss on his forehead. "And I love you too, my son."
Translations ->
'itan = son
Nga yawne lu oer = I love you

・Someone that will stick by him no matter what. Loyal to the very end. But also a person who pushes themselves. A person who will leave their comfort zone and work on themselves
・I think Jake likes a romantic partner who can show him new things. Not just a new environment, but new ways of thinking and perceiving. He can get stuck in his ways, so these new opinions would be a fresh of breath air for Jake
・He would also be entranced by someone who thinks ahead. A person who can forward think and counteract their opponent’s actions. As an air sign himself, Jake would be completely blown away by someone who:
1. has an open mind, 2. Is able to have witty banter, 3. knows how to throw a punch
・The character tropes with his s/o would be:
Snarky Power Couple That Can, And Probably Will, Destroy You
Emotionally Unstable (You) x Also Emotionally Unstable But Tries To Hide It (Jake)

・Ronal is a woman who can’t be told what to do or be contained
・She has a dominant personality, one where she thinks she knows what is right.
・Her best-suited partner would be a person who helps her see a different point of view but ultimately has her back. Loyalty is something that she believes in wholeheartedly. If you can’t be by her side, then she wouldn’t want you
・Keeping her family and clan safe is her top priority. That includes the beings that live in the water - they’re apart of her tribe
・So she needs someone who respects the tulkans
・The character tropes with her s/o would be:

・He needs an equal partner, someone he can trust with difficult choices
・Basically, a person who can shoulder the weight of responsibility and leadership, but also has some sensitivity about issues, the environment, the way of life etc

The way I feel
Characters- Lo'ak Sully x Human Reader
Summary- Lo'ak confesses to you at a Na'vi Great tree gathering.
Word count- 1,228
Warnings- Fluff
You had been sent to Pandora to help with the mining operation for unobtanium, but you never expected to fall in love with one of the Na'vi. Lo'ak had caught your eye from the moment you had met him. His tall, muscular frame and piercing yellow eyes had left you breathless.
Despite your initial attraction, you had tried to keep your distance from Lo'ak. You knew that a relationship between a human and a Na'vi would be complicated at best. But as time passed, you found yourself drawn to him more and more.
It wasn't until you were injured during an attack by the hostile Na'vi tribe that you realized how much you truly cared for Lo'ak. He had been the one to save you, carrying you to safety as you clung to him tightly. You had never felt so safe in your life as you did in his arms.
After that day, you found it hard to keep your feelings for Lo'ak a secret. You would catch yourself staring at him for too long or stumbling over your words when he was near. But he never seemed to notice, or if he did, he never said anything.
It wasn't until the night of the Great Tree gathering that everything changed. You had been invited to attend by the Na'vi, and you had eagerly accepted. The sight of the massive tree lit up by thousands of tiny glowing creatures was breathtaking, but it was Lo'ak who truly caught your attention.
He was dressed in traditional Na'vi garb, with a headdress made of feathers and beads adorning his head. You couldn't help but stare at him as he moved gracefully through the crowd, his eyes occasionally meeting yours.
As the night wore on, you found yourself drawn to him, unable to resist the pull you felt towards him. It wasn't until he took your hand, pulling you away from the crowd, that you realized he felt the same way.
"I know we come from different worlds," he said, his voice soft. "But I can't help the way I feel about you. I want to be with you, if you'll have me."
You could barely contain your excitement as you nodded, unable to find your voice. Lo'ak pulled you close, his lips meeting yours in a sweet, tender kiss.
From that moment on, you and Lo'ak were inseparable. You spent every moment you could together, exploring the beautiful planet of Pandora and learning more about each other. It wasn't always easy, as there were still those who disapproved of your relationship, but you and Lo'ak didn't let that stop you.
Together, you fought for the freedom of the Na'vi people, working to protect their home from the greedy humans who sought to exploit it. You and Lo'ak were a team, each one supporting the other as you fought for what was right.
And at the end of the day, when the battles were won and the dust had settled, you and Lo'ak would curl up together under the stars, enjoying the peace and quiet of Pandora. It was in those moments that you knew you had found your true home, in the arms of the one you loved.
