That night on the shoreline should have faded into a distant memory. And yet, that moment of comfort lingered between the two of you. The tide did not wash away the tension between you, it seemed to keep pushing you closer together.
Weeks had passed since that night. Boundaries between you had shifted, the space between you shrinking more and more each day.
You felt the change between you in his eyes. The way they found you within the village before anyone else. In his presence. The way he always seemed to drift closer to you in gatherings. He didn’t always come with words to share. Only offering small nods and warm smiles that carried more weight than any sentence could.
Though…sometimes he lingered.
In public, it would never be long enough for anyone to question it. But long enough for your heart to flutter within your chest.
Early mornings were the most dangerous.
The cool sea lapping against the sand. The sun slowly starting to reflect off the shore, small fragments of light hitting the edges of the village.
It was never a spoken agreement between you two, to meet each other on the shore by the rockpools, but it seemed like a planned coincidence.
Your training continued ever since that night. Waking at the crack of dawn to plunge yourself into the crisp sea. And since that night, you would see the Olo’eyktan walking the shoreline while the rest of the village slept.
Again
And again
And again.
It was only a matter of time before his ‘coincidental’ walks turned into dates disguised as ‘one-one-one training sessions’.
Tonowari stood waist-deep in the sea, the weak waves having no impact on his strong stature within the water. His arms were folded loosely across his chest, the corner of his mouth turning up with the faintest trace of amusement.
And despite the cool air hitting your damp skin, warmth spread through you.
“You are staring.” Tonowari chuckles from across the water, his voice carrying through the early morning breeze.
Your ears pricked up, heat rushing to your cheeks. “I am not.”
The chiefs smile widened slightly, tattoos curving across the movement in his skin. “You are.”
You shook your head, rolling your eyes. You watched with blushing cheeks as his broad figure waded closer to you in the water. He moved with such ease, it looked as if the water parted for him, waves consciously separating around his frame. “I am simply observing.”
He hummed thoughtfully, his body now close enough to yours that you had to gaze up to meet his eyes. “Observing?” He paused for a moment, a soft chuckle escaping his lips as he looked down. “If you say so.”
The water lapped against your top, each push of current moving you closer to the chief in front of you. Your eyes travelled down his face. Following each delicate and intricate line, each splotch of ink conveying a story.
Tonowari knew you were staring, not that he minded. To be this close to you…for you to allow him into your world was more than enough for him. But with you here, and so close. He couldn’t help but imagine more.
He loved the soft mornings he shared with you, water so cold he watched goosebumps crawl across your skin. Droplets of water trailing down your face. Travelling from your chin, taking a painfully slow journey down your sternum that Tonowari could only just tear his eyes from.
“You are the one staring now.” You say with a proud smirk, hands moving your hair to cascade over one shoulder.
Tonowari’s firm gaze broke, lifting back up to meet your eyes. “I believe it’s called observing.” He feels a light push on his arm as your hand contacts his defined bicep.
The light push barely moved him, yet it drew another quiet chuckle from him. Once again filling your body with warmth.
He caught your wrist before you could pull your hand away. It wasn’t rough or demanding. Nothing he did was.
It was more like plea. Begging you to stay this close to him.
His fingers were large around your wrist, his warmth seeping into your skin.
Tonowari’s gaze flicked down to where he held you, as if he was suddenly remembering himself.
“You are distracting.” He said finally, his voice quiet.
Your brows lifted slightly. “Distracting?”
“Yes.” He said it like a weight lifted on his chest, brows furrowed as he looked not just at you, but into you.
Your hand wiggled out his grip, only to come latching back. Your small hand linked into his. You notice as Tonowari’s grip tightened, no longer afraid to hold you tight.
“Is that a bad thing?” You asked softly, pulling yourself closer to him.
Tonowari swallowed, his throat tightening as your fingers laced with his so easily, as if it was something natural, divinely fated to be.
His gaze dropped to your linked hands for a small moment.
Your fingers so small, barely reaching past his knuckles and yet you held onto him with such certainty. And when you pull yourself closer, something strong tugs on his chest.
“It could be.” He admitted heavily. His voice was low, rougher than it had been all morning.
His gaze lifted back to yours, searching your face as if he was looking for light in darkness.
“What we are doing…What we could be.” He continued, each word picked with care and precision. “It will not go unnoticed forever.”
Your thumb brushed absentmindedly over the back of his hand, and Tonowari felt his grip instinctively tighten around yours.
He should have let go. He should have let go on the beach that night. He should not have followed you down the shoreline.
He should have been sharp and sensible, like his people expected of him.
Yet you always seem to be irresistible.
“This village watches everything.” His jaw flexed. “My choices carry weight. Your family…my son…my people.”
You nodded slowly accepting his words. It wasn’t as though those thoughts had never crossed your mind before. They had. Many times.
But unlike him, you had the luxury of pushing them to the furthest parts of your mind. You had the luxury of pushing them to the edges of your mind, hiding them away where they could not disrupt the quiet moments you spent together
Tonowari’s eyes softened as he saw the look that began to cast upon your face. “What grows between two people…does not stay between those people for long.”
“I- I get it I do.” You whispered gaze leaving his as your grip weakened.
Tonowari immediately held onto your hand tighter, his thumb caressing your knuckles.
“But.” He added, voice softer and lower. He bent down slightly to be closer. “Knowing that…does not seem to stop me from coming here every morning.”
His expression held something softer now, something precious and vulnerable, something far less certain than the look of a strong leader.
“I know that every time I see you walking the shore” His other hand lifted from the water, resting below your chin as he lifted your gaze up to meet his. “I follow you.” A small breath escapes his lips. “And I know that it should concern me more than it does.”
His thumb caressed your cheek, wiping away a small droplet.
“And I do not wish to stop following you.”
Days earlier, you had told Tonowari you wouldn’t be able to meet him for your usual swim. Your father had insisted on a family breakfast, and you knew your mother would find you if you slipped away before sunrise.
You still remembered the look on his face when you told him.
The slight dip in his posture, shoulders shifting, head bowing down. His mouth pulling down into small pout that you had a feeling he didn’t realise he was making.
It tugged at something within you. Seeing that rare flicker of disappointment from the usually composed and collected Olo’eyktan. So, you offered a solution.
Sunset.
The words barely had anytime to leave before you saw the heavy hesitation settle onto his face. He was cautious, the early mornings were quiet, easy and most of all predictable.
You had figured he would refuse, settle on not seeing you for a day to not risk being caught.
But after a painstakingly long pause, his gaze had drifted from you towards the distant cliffs that formed along the coasts of Awa’atlu. Then back to you.
“The cliffs.” He said firmly. “Few are there at sunset.”
And now you stood at the end of a winding path that led you to a view that made you realize just why he had chosen to be here.
The village was far behind you, the ocean stretching endlessly ahead of you. A gentle breeze stirred the palms above, their leaves whispering softly as the sky slowly began to melt into shades of gold.
For awhile neither of you spoke. The silence that grew between you was no longer awkward. Over the weeks you had spent with each other it had become something familiar, something comfortable.
Tonowari sat next to you on the soft grass, one leg sprawled out the other bent resting against your knee. His hands rested behind him, propping him up as he leaned back, head turned towards you.
Even though the sky burned with vibrant pink and yellow, the descending sun scattering across the horizon.
To him, it was no match for the woman sitting beside him.
“This view…it’s beautiful.” You whispered, unable to look away from the sunset.
Tonowari gaze remained fixed on you, the corner of his mouth lifting into a soft, warm smile. “Yes,” he murmured. He paused for a moment his eyes capturing the way the sun hit each of your features. “Yes, it is.”
A comfortable softness settled into the silence after his words.
You let out a chuckle, already gearing up a teasing remark to break the quiet. But when you turned your head, the words died before they could reach your lips.
He was already looking at you.
It wasn’t a careful measured glance that could be moved if anyone caught his sight. It was unfiltered, every emotion and feeling pouring out of him.
A short breath caught in your throat as your eyes met his.
The lingering light of the sunset painted his features in a warm gold, catching along the dark ink that trailed upon his skin. His gaze slowly shifted across your face, as if he was committing every detail to memory. The curve of your lips, the dips in cheeks, the white dots that traced your features.
The world started to feel smaller, growing more aware of how close you were. Knees brushing, shoulders touching. Yet, neither of you made an effort to create distance.
His eyes licked briefly down to your lips, before lifting back to meet your eyes once again. It made your heart jump a burning heat rising in your chest.
“You are staring.” You whispered quietly this time, your body slowly, hesitantly moving towards him.
Tonowari let out a shuddering breath, his lips parted. “I am.”
“Tonowari.” You said breathlessly, his name leaving your lips like something fragile, something meant to be held carefully.
You were meant to say something else. A joke to break the tension? Maybe even a small laugh. Just something to break the weight of tension pulling between you.
But nothing came.
It was just him.
Only him.
Tonowari hesitated, lips wobbling as the restraint within in him withered away. He was being consumed.
By you.
His hand suddenly moved to your cheek, pulling you toward him. The space between you closed in one sudden, desperate motion.
His lips crashed into yours, all the careful restraint he had shown in the past weeks crumbling to the floor.
His kiss was rough and hungry, all of his control snapping as soon as he tasted you.
His other hand moved to your waist, his large hand wrapping around to the small of your back. He pulled you closer, bodies pressing together. The strength of his movement making a short breath escape your mouth.
Your hands caught at his shoulders, fingers curling onto the broad muscles as you anchored yourself onto him. He moved you to settle onto his lap, knees spread wide over just one of his exposed thighs. You felt the muscles flex beneath you, a small groan escaping your lips.
In Tonowari’s kiss you felt every emotion. The washed away restraint, every pent-up thought, the absence that he had experienced for years before.
He kissed like a man who had denied himself too long. As if the moment he touched you he had forgotten every reason he told himself to stay away.
His kiss deepened, mouths moving in sync, soft moans harmonizing in the breeze surrounding you. It grew hungrier and heavier, Tonowari’s grip grew tighter, pressing your body firm against him as if he was trying to meld your two bodies together.
Your hands roamed his shoulders, palms gliding across the muscular plains of his back, the rough weaving of his chest guard prickling your hand.
Tonowari pulled away for a split second, forehead resting against yours. Lips parted and panting, one line of spit connecting you to each other.
He watched as your lips never closed, still waiting for him to come back, join together in an all-consuming kiss. He felt a heat grow within him, a burning flame starting in his heart and travelling down his torso.
“You are so beautiful.” He whispered, lips brushing against yours.
“S-Shut up.” You stuttered out before pulling him back to meet your lips. Your body pressed further into him. Tingles ran up and down your spine as Tonowari’s hands roamed your back, his rough fingers catching onto the waistband of your loincloth.
His head tilted down, rough open mouth kisses trailing from your cheek to the dip in your neck. The cool breeze brushing against the wet spots on your skin sending shivers down your skin.
You bit your lips, trying desperately to muffle the moan that ached to escape you. Your hands gripped onto him harder. You felt Tonowari’s thigh tense below you, a jolt of electricity shooting through you, the soft sound escaping your lips to immediately meet Tonowari’s ears.
Tonowari stilled as soon as the sound escape, ears flicking up. His head lifted slightly from where it had dipped against your neck, breath warm against your blue skin. His head rested against your face, lips trailing up to brushing your earlobe.
“Careful.” He said gruffly, voice rougher than it had ever been before, the word grumbling off your chest.
But the warning was hollow. His hands hadn’t stopped moving. Trailing down your back, this time, he travelled past your loincloth, webbed hands dipping to the curves below your navel, fingers tracing the outline of your swaying tail.
Your breathing was uneven and feverous, Tonowari felt it as your chest rose against his, beads running against his exposed skin.
“Please.” You muttered out, lips parted, your arms laced around him, your body twitching against his leg. You weren’t even sure what you were pleading for. Every thought you had was consumed by him, a thick foggy haze casting over any sensible thought that tried to appear in your mind.
Tonowari lifted his head up now.
For a heartbeat, he just looked at you.
The fading light of the sunset had softened everything around you, the ocean ahead of you and the grass below, the warmth clinging to your skin and radiating onto him.
And then there was you.
Sitting in his lap, lips parted and swollen, cheeks flushed, looking at him as if there was nothing else in the world.
That burning heat in his chest grew wilder, heart thumping fighting to escape his ribcage.
“You are…dangerous.” He muttered.
But before you could respond, this time slower, but still certain. Taking your lips in a kiss that was warm and deep.
It was like a soft breeze, peaceful and calm. Hushing the sudden storm that erupted between your two bodies.
His hands remained steady on you, thumbs caressing the soft dip in your hips and just for a moment longer there was nothing else in the world but you and him.
The serene bliss you both shared was soon disturbed.
A rock shifted somewhere behind you, leaves rustling in a way that was manhandled.
The sound was small, barely perceivable but in the silence of the cliffside it might well have been a crash of lightning.
Tonowari’s ear moved towards the sound, his body stilling underneath you, every instinct and sense sharpening all at once.
You noticed his composure, the stiffness in his muscles. Your eyes followed his gaze and your heart dropped, leaving your ribcage hollow to only be filled with impending doom.
Two figures stood at the end of the path.
Lo’ak and Tuk.
For a moment everyone froze, staring at each other in shock.
Lo’ak blinked once then looked at you taking in the very…revealing position Tonowari had you in. “Oh shit.”
“I can explain-”
Tuk however did not need long to process what she saw. “YOU’RE KISSING TONOWARI?!” she shrieked
You jumped off Tonowari lap so fast you nearly dove headfirst into the grass. “No- NO.”
“You were!” Tuk yelled jumping up and down unable to contain her excitement of finding the hottest gossip the Metkayina ever encountered.
Tonowari stood quickly as you got up, but as soon he was upright he was frozen. This is everything he feared staring up at him in the form of two Omatikaya children.
“I’M TELLING DAD!” Tuk had already turned, her little feet rushing across the sand.
“No!” All three of you shouted out. Lo’ak stared at you eyes wide with fear, yours even wider, hands shaking as you looked once more at Tonowari.
He was frozen, mouth agape. He knew this was a bad idea, he knew he shouldn’t have let himself have you. He should have been responsible, sensible. He should have been a leader.
Instead, he has led you into chaos. Your life about to erupt into a flurry of burning consequences.
Both you and Lo’ak took off. You bolted so fast that you nearly tripped over the uneven stones that littered the path.
“Tuk! Tuk stop you cannot tell him!” You screamed out, following her down the beach. Sand catching between your toes as you fought with all your might to speed up.
Behind you, Lo’ak was chasing you both. “Tuk! Tuk slow down!” He said half-laughing, half panicking. “Tuk! You are gonna start a war!”
Tuk’s little legs pumped faster as she started getting closer to the village. “I’M TELLING ON YOU.”
“WHY?!” You called out almost on the brink of tears. Your lungs burnt with every step, your lips still swollen, purple marks littering your neck that would certainly not make your case any stronger. “Tuk! C’mon please!”
Tuk turned around for a moment and stuck her tongue out, before taking off again.
“TUK!” You screamed at the top of your lungs. “You are so dead!”
“That’s if Dad doesn’t kill you first!” Lo’ak yells behind you before receiving a middle finger from you.
The village was alive with the bustle of the evening.
Torches flickering between the maruis, warm light dancing across the woven walls and pathways. The strong aromas of each family’s dinner drifted through the air, each marui filled with chatter and life.
The Sully family sat in their marui. Jake’s arms were crossed sitting comfortably on a plush mat as he spoke quiet to Neytiri. She nodded quietly occasionally humming response when she wasn’t chewing on the cut fruit in front of her. Neteyam and Kiri sat together, both weaving a basket with palm leaves, chattering away to themselves.
Then…
Tuk’s high-pitched voice cut across the serenity like a blade piercing flesh.
Heads turned immediately, Jake barely had enough time to straighten his posture before a blur of small blue limbs barrelled towards him.
“Tuk?” He said brows knitting together in confusion. “Tuk? Why are you-“
She skidded to a stop in front of him, her small lungs burning as she panted, her eyes huge with excitement. “I saw her!”
Jake and Neytiri blinked, sharing a look of confusion at each other before turning back to Tuk.
“Saw what babygirl?” Jake said reaching out a hand to his youngest daughter.
“BIG SIS!” Tuk jumped around in a circle. “AND TONOWARI!”
Neteyam and Kiri froze now. They had assumed that this was just one of Tuk’s usual interruptions. But now everyone except for the blue bouncing ball of excitement was frozen.
Neytiri’s ears twitched in silence, moving from her relaxed position now crouching on the floor.
“You gotta slow down…What are you talking about?” Jake’s eyes were squinted, brows knitted together so tightly it began to cause a headache.
Tuk grabbed his hand, her fingers so dainty they could barely hold her father’s hand. She was practically vibrating with thrill. “They were on the cliffs.” A loud giggle erupted out of her mouth “AND THEY WERE KISSING!”
“What?” Jake said. The word was sharp a red haze of rage starting to burn off him.
Tuk nodded enthusiastically, bouncing in place. “They were kissing…Dad I said that alreadyyy” Tuk groaned, shaking Jake’s hand with all her might.
Neteyam’s weaving slipped out of his hand his jaw dropping open. Kiri had slapped a hand over her mouth “No way.” She said muffled under her hand trying to stop a gaggle of laughs escape her.
Neytiri grabbed Tuk’s hand gently, prying her off her father. “Tuktirey…you are certain?”
Tuk nodded eagerly again her bouncing beginning to slow as she looked at the shocked faces around her. Her wide smile had turned into a little pout. “Mummy you look angry.”
Neytiri shook her head bringing Tuk closer to her, a little tut escaping her lips. “No…not at you Tuk.”
Then there was a crash against the entrance of the marui. You were hunched over, hands resting on your knees as you panted loudly, your hand reached out pointing at Tuk. “Tuk! -” You inhale sharply. “Tuk! Say NOTHING!”
Behind you. Lo’ak stumbled into the marui, nearly colliding into your back as he skidded to a stop. “Tuk is crazed and delusional do not believe a word she says-”
“I AM NOT!” Tuk turned to yell at Lo’ak, but Neytiri shushed her gently bringing her small frame into an embrace.
“Bro shut-” Jake slowly turned his head towards the two of you. The look on his face immediately shutting Lo’ak up.
Your father straightened to his full height, arms folded across his chest, eyes staring at you as if he was trying extremely hard not to explode.
“You,” he said, his voice firm and low. “Wanna repeat that?”
You froze where you stood, still slightly bent over from trying to breathe. “Nope.”
Kiri let out a strangled laugh, Neteyam’s elbow promptly jabbing into her ribcage.
Jake’s eyes did not leave you. “You ran halfway across the island to stop your sister.” He said slowly and calculated. “Which tells me she didn’t make this up.”
Your brain scrambled, searching for something, anything to say while you feverously shook your head. “It’s,” you stood up straight now, waving your hands uselessly. “Not what it looks like.”
Lo’ak choked behind you.
Jakes head snapped towards him.
Your youngest brother pointed at you with one hand the other raised in the air. “I am an innocent bystander.”
Jake let out an annoyed scoff before looking back at you. “Cliffs. Tonowari.” He let out a slow exhale, his breath shaky. “Explain. Now.”
“Dad I-”
“No!” Jake snapped. “Don’t you ‘Dad’ me right now!”
The words hit you like a physical blow.
Your mouth closed immediately, whatever horrible explanation you had been scrambling to form dying in your throat. The heat that had been rushing through your body from the frantic chase had shifted into something else entirely.
Neytiri’s eyes had not left your face, she saw the sadness that brewed in your features and the shame that had begun to radiate off of you. “Have you done this before?” She asked quietly.
You hesitated, lips opening and closing.
Jake caught it immediately. “Oh my god.” He breathed in disbelief, running a hand over his face.
“Big sis why were you sitting on him?” Tuk asked innocently, her inability to read a room pushing you further into this brewing pile of shit fuckery.
The marui erupted into chaos.
Kiri had doubled over laughing now, completely unable to contain composure.
Neteyam’s hand hit his forehead in disbelief. “Tuk. Why would you say that?”
Tuk look confused looking between each of the very different expressions of the Sully family. “I wanted to know…”
“Shh Tuk…Sa’nok needs you to be quiet.” Neytiri hummed bringing a hand over Tuk’s ears.
Behind you Lo’ak leaned in closer. “You should start running again.”
You elbowed him without looking, a groan of pain leaving his lips.
Jake saw that too.
“Oh yeah.” He said darkly, his eyes hazed over with an anger that he was trying desperately to subdue. “Let your accomplice get you out of this one.”
Lo’ak shot upright. “Accomplice?!” He shook his head taking a few steps back. “Like I said innocent bystander.”
Jake’s hand shot up.
“Enough.”
The words cracked through the marui like a whip. The entire marui fell into silence.
Jake moved slowly turning to the rest of his family. The air in the marui shifted with him.
“Everyone out.” He said flatly. “Now.”
Neteyam was the first to move, grabbing Kiri’s wrist and hauling her to her feet as she stumbled out of the marui. “Cmon- quickly.” He muttered to Kiri.
Lo’ak backed out towards the exit, hands raised defensively. “Great talk guys.”
Tuk pouted, big golden eyes staring up at Neytiri. “But I wanna-”
“No, cmon Tuk.” She said softly, lifting the child into her arms.
As your mother left the room her eyes lingered on you. They weren’t angry like your fathers. Just…disappointed.
The marui emptied. Leaving just you and Jake.
“Inside.”
You followed him the centre of the room. Head dropped down in shame as your chest tightened.
For a moment it was radio silence. No sound was made except for the angry huffs that left your father’s mouth.
“You got any idea,” he said slowly. “How unbelievably stupid that was?”
“Dad-”
“It is Sir to you.” He said angrily, beginning to pace in front of you. Just like he did at training back home, tight and controlled steps in the forest floor.
“Do you think this is funny?” he said sharply, words full of venom. “You think this is some harmless little romance?”
“No-”
“Because where I am standing.” His voice started to rise. “It looks like my daughter decided to start sneaking around with the Olo’eyktan of the Metkayina.”
You shook your head quickly, the threat of wetness about to streak down your cheeks. “It wasn’t like that.”
Jake let out a scoff. “Yeah sure kid.” His hand raised pointing at the path you had just sprinted down, your footprints still deep in the sand. “Because last time I checked you were hauling yourself across half the island just to stop Tuk from telling us.”
A small sob escaped, tears of shame beginning to dampen your cheeks.
You had expected the yelling, the lecture, the utter shame you felt.
But the sheer anger rolling off of him made your stomach twist painfully. You looked down, focusing on the woven mat beneath your feet as if it could somehow save you for the furious words of your father.
“Dad- I mean Sir…” Your voice was weak, defeated. “It isn’t what you think.”
“Jesus christ.” He groaned. “You understand who Tonowari is?”
“Yes.”
“Do you?” His voice hardened. “He leads this entire clan, every family answers to him. WE answer to him.” He stepped closer “And you thought that this was a smart idea? Sneaking away with him? As if your decisions will not eventually blow up in everyone’s face?”
“Yeah, believe it or not I am familiar with the concept of an Olo’eyktan.” You scoffed turning away from your father, tears still trailing down your cheeks.
Jake’s pacing halted to a stop. “Turn around.”
You hesitated, lips still wobbling.
“Now!”
You turned reluctantly, wiping your nose with the back of your hand.
“Don’t get smart with me. Not tonight.”
“I’m not-.”
Jake cut you off abruptly. “Do you think I’m yelling because I believe you dragged him up to those cliffs?”
You shrugged, still avoiding eye contact with your father.
“This situation is a disaster waiting to happen. Do you understand that?” he continued, voice rough.
“So what? This whole thing is my fault?” You scoffed, the tip of your tail lashing behind you.
Jake stared at you in disbelief. “Did I say that?” He asked, his voice laced with anger.
“It sure sounds like it!” you shot back, stepping away from him. “You’re lecturing me as if I ruined everyone’s life for existing near him!”
“That is not what I am saying!” Jake snapped, his voice echoing through out the marui.
For a moment you both stood in front of each other.
Jake dragged a hand over his face, letting out a loud groan. “Do you expect me to be happy about this?” he muttered.
You shrugged again. Your chest rising and falling quickly. “You’re making it sound like I am the only one who did something wrong.”
Jake’s eyes flashed with disbelief. “What? You want me to go grab the chief and scream at him too?”
The words hit you hard. Because you knew your father was right no matter how much you didn’t want to believe him.
“That man took us in when we had nowhere else to run.” His voice was low and sharp. “He gave our family somewhere safe, a new home.”
Your stomach twisted, fingers fidgeting, picking at the skin of your nails as you listened to your father.
“So, I am a little limited on how I deal with the fact that my eldest daughter decided it was a good idea to start something with the chief.” Jake paused for a moment, letting out a sigh of disappointment. “He is old enough to know better…and so are you.”
“I’m sorry.” You muttered quietly, but Jake just a handout to silence you.
“I am furious with him. I am furious with you.” He uttered; it was the calmest thing he had said all night. “That man is a leader; his choices affect hundred of people.”
Then pointed at you. “And your choices affect this family.”
You shook your head, frustration bubbling through the array of emotions that were settling into the pit in your stomach. “What do you want me to do?”
Jake sighed. “I want you to stop seeing him.”
“What? No. You can’t force me.”
“No. I can’t” Jake said slowly. “But I can and I will send you back home.”
“Dad?! Are you fucking kidding me? You’d send me away because of one stupid kiss? You don’t get to decide that! I’m not a kid anymore.”
“Then stop fucking acting like one.” His words were sharp and cruel, stabbing right through you.
“You’d really send me away?” you said quietly, defeated.
You thought that the screaming and yelling would hurt more. But the silence, the empty and dark quiet that brewed off you father. It created a wound you were sure would never heal.
“Get out.” He said firmly, turning away from you now. “Find your mother.”
“Are you serious?” You scoffed, your jaw tightening as a sob threatened to break free.
“That’s an order.”
You stood there for another moment, staring at his back.
Waiting.
For him to say something.
For him to turn around.
For him to take it back.
He didn’t.
Your chest pulled painfully, the sob you’d been holding in finally forcing its way out of your throat.
Finally, you turned and stepped out of the marui.
Defeated, head hung low, tears streaming down your chest.
authors note: okay yay im so happy if u made it this far i def went a bit overboard BUT OH WELL. also i loved writing the sully family i tried really hard to get them in character though i dont think tuk would snitch LMAO she has become victim to a plot device. they slowburn hath burnt into havoc
(i did try to proofread but it is 4am so if there is any errors....they were never there)
plzplzplzpz reblog/comment/send me an ask abt what y'all thought i love to hear from u guys, i wouldn't write if it wasn;t for the beautiful replies i get ily guys so much okay BYEEE
AHHHH!!! This was too delicious!! The whole time I was giggling and kicking my feet☺️!! Reader and Tonowari’s chemistry is just off the charts and that kiss?!?! Omggg I almost melted!! I’m sooo glad they have finally took things to the next level. I just love everything about them. Their dialogue is always sooo so good.
Now, when it comes to the family’s reaction… I was dyinggg. I love Tuktirey but she was killing me, she just couldn’t wait to snitch on reader. Lo’ak’s reaction was funny too. I like how he locked in and tried to get Tuk not to say anything about reader and Tonowari kissing, he’s a real one for that.
When Tuk asked why reader was sitting on Tonowari, I almost died from second hand embarrassment💀. She just telling all reader business and making things so awkward for everyone… but she’s just a baby so I can’t even blame her for being all innocent😭.
I was sooo ready for Jake to find out about reader and Tonowari’s relationship and now that it’s happened, the angst is at an all time high (which I love). I understand Jake’s pov but I understand reader’s too. I hope reader doesn’t listen to Jake though and keeps seeing Tonowari. I can’t wait to see Jake and Tonowari’s first interaction since this all went down (and Ao’nung’s reaction to reader and Tonowari’s relationship as well).
I was sooo excited to read this chapter and it did not disappoint!! Can’t wait to see what happens in chapter four!!
AHHHHHH i’m so glad you enjoyed itttt!!!! i was def thinking of u when writing this chapter i had hoped you’d eat up the angst and the CHEMISTRYYYYYYYYRAAAAAAHHH
low-key writing tuk and loak was my fav part of this chap, tuk was being such a menace and so was loak LMAO him being like “tuk is crazed and delusional don’t believe a word she say” and he was also an innocent bystander (for the first time he’s not the one making trouble) i also low-key loved writing neteyam coz ik he’d be so done with his younger siblings.
and yes i’m so excited to get back to writing chap 4 coz i have things planned especially for Aonung coz he’s gonna be so furious like RAH omg i’m so excited it’s gonna be angst and drama city
