--- hugs they give after a bad day
pairing ; neteyam, lo'ak, kiri, tsireya, rotxo, ao'nung x gn!platonic!reader
i can't see him as the hugger typa guy. their awkward looking, one arm hold around your shoulder, might have looked like they doesn't give a fuck. but trust me, they care deeply. they're just isn't great at expressing feelings through touches
they'll make you overthink cause they would disappear after the hug. you would think that the hug made them uncomfortable, that they distances themselves. but your thoughts dies away at the sight of a hand woven bracelet greeting you by your marui
they care for you, just not that great with hugs. and for lo'ak, its probably because he isn't used to give nor rechieve them :"
being ao'nungs other side of the coin means they hug people on a daily basis. meeting you? a hug. saying goodbye by the end of the day? a hug. even a good morning/night hug is mandatory to them. absolute sweethearts. you could just imagine the moment you come to them after a long day,
the two of you are usually just excited to meet one another to share a quick friendly hug. but when they notice your usual happy smile is not seen, a frown was made on their faces. they won't spare any second to wrap their arm around you and bring you to a tight hug. your face would be on their shoulder, their cheek resting on your head as soft spoken reassurances being whispered to your ear,
"hey don't worry. i'm here. you're okay"
if you start to cry, they would hold you through it. soothing fingers combing to through your hair with an arm embracing you as your cries calmed down
their hugs aren't as long nor as quick as the others, but the warm embraces they offer never failed to make you feel protected. their arms embracing your entire body, wrapping by your back to give you a big, warm hug. you could feel their entire emotion rushing through by the simple act, despite them being silent through the entire time,
when you're with me nothing could hurt you. don't worry
when your cries had calmed down, they would break away from the hug to wipe your tears with their fingers and asked you to wait. they went running and back to you under a minute, bringing everything they know would make you feel better,
kiri would keep you by her side as she makes you a calming herbal tea, as you both talk about whatever's in your mind. oh, you don't want to talk about it? don't worry. she won't even mention a thing until you bring it out yourself
while neteyam, he's back to you with soft blankets and a drink, maybe even food if you ask for some. then both of you would lay down by the floor of the forest and name stars you see at the night sky
