I love your take on Neteyam, I was wondering if you could do a bit of hurt/comfort with Neteyam and an older sister of Auoung and Tsieray’s sister. They bond over being the eldest responsible for unruly siblings and parental pressure and keep they’re new found flirting/relationship a secret because they think their families won’t approve? Mostly Ronal and Tonowari because of their “demon blood” but they see that they really care for each other so they give their blessing? This all comes out cause Auoung catches them kissing?

Aᴠᴀᴛᴀʀ Mᴀsᴛᴇʀʟɪsᴛ
You sighed heavily, getting out of the water and climbing up to sit onto one of the jagged rocks on the far-side of the reef that overlooked your home. From here you could see everything. The blue hues of the sky against the cluster of Murui pods that lined the shores and the lively splashes and ripples of water as Metkayina swam and gathered fish.
Children played unsupervised, daring each other to do the stupidest of things but never leaving the reef. Their loud laughter and screeching reached your ears. Others practiced hunting with their parents or were being taught how to ride an ilu.
The sight warmed your heart, and a feeling of deeply rooted pride blossomed in your chest for the trillionth time.
Despite the feeling, your heart was still heavy.
Your brows were furrowed together, body horribly tense with the stress and anxiety of the day weighing heavy on your shoulders. Your hands opened and closed subconsciously, and you bit your bottom lip, deep in thought about the shit show that had gone down. You could feel a headache coming on from it all.
If only your brother could control himself for a few minutes without you having to be on top of him.
After a moment you felt a small tap to the top of your hand, drawing you away from your thoughts. You blinked releasing your lip from between your teeth and turning to see Neteyam pulling himself up from the water to come and sit beside you.
The moment you turned he was taking note of it all, your rigid posture, and furrowed brows. Nothing escaped his eyes.
“Hi sweetheart,” he greeted gently, wrapping his arms around you to pull you into him. You happily obliged, humming contently as he sat you between his legs, your back pressed against his chest, his chin resting atop the rows of braids that adorned your head. You tried to relax with him as best you could.
“How have you been?” he asked
You didn’t respond right away, eyes flicking over his face observantly as you looked up to fully see him. He was just stressed about the situation, just as tense and the weight of elder sibling responsibility just as heavy. He seemed to hide it better than you, but you saw right through it.
“Just as bad as you,” you replied finally. Neteyam slightly cringed at your statement.
“Today was...rough,” he agreed.
Rough was an understatement.
His hands dropped to your shoulders, beginning to massage them. A kind attempt at easing some of your tension.
You sighed heavily, leaning into the touch tiredly.
“They expect so much better of me Neteyam, and all I do is let them down,” Your eyes stung as you spoke the guilt of failure pooling in your stomach.
Your mother and father’s voice’s still rang loudly in your mind, their words driving knives through your heart. The memories of each failure of yours are attached to a different expression of disappointment.
“It's your job to keep Aonung out of trouble Y/n,”
“You're his older sister, act like it.”
“How could you let this happen?!”
Neteyam attempted to comfort you, recognizing the spiral of thoughts you were going down, “You did your best, that’s what matters.” You shook your head, dismissing his words.
“But my best wasn’t enough,” you mumbled, putting no real heart into your argument and blinking away your tears. He didn’t know how to respond to that, so he kept quiet, letting a sorrow-filled silence fall over the two of you.
He completely understood the way you felt, because he felt the same way. The pressure of such responsibility was suffocating, and you both refused to let others know that you were drowning. You were supposed to worry about others, not make others worry about you. Maybe that’s why you had gotten along so well, because chasing after your siblings and carrying the burden of parental disappointment when you couldn’t reach their unreachable standards made great bonding material.
You snorted at your own thoughts.
You both needed a break from the crushing weight of expectations, but there was nowhere you could go to get it because it followed you everywhere. That’s why you worked out so well. Neteyam was the only person who you felt understood you. The only person you’d allowed yourself to confide in and be vulnerable with. He was the only person you could catch a break around, and he felt the same way about you, but even with each other you both sometimes had a difficult time bringing down your walls.
The feeling of being so vulnerable with someone else was foreign, something you both were still getting used to, but you had all the patience in the world when it came to him, so he could take as long as he needed.
However as much as a comfort the two of you were to each other, you knew that your relationship with Neteyam was also just another disaster waiting to happen.
You weren't sure how long you could get away with the small touches and eye contact before your parents caught on and inevitably made you cut it off.
Maybe that was part of the thrill of it. You finally had something that your parents had no say in, something they couldn’t put their fingers in or control. Whatever this was between you and Neteyam was truly yours and no one else. So, you both took the risk. Keeping any physical affection at bay until you were alone together and out of sight.
“What about you,” you asked, “how are you taking it?”
He sighed, “You said it yourself...just as bad as you.” You weren't sure how to comfort him verbally. You weren't sure if there was even something that you could say that he would believe and make him feel better, but as you searched your mind, you realized there weren't enough words in the world to convey to him how much you cared about him. So, you opted to crane your neck up and place a few tender kisses on his jaw.
The tension in his shoulders seemed to relax slightly at the feeling of your lips pressing against his skin affectionately. You took it as a sign of understanding.
His hands fell from your shoulders to your thighs and his fingers began to knead circles into your flesh. He turned his head, dipping down to capture your lips in his. You smiled into the kiss, a small sigh escaping you. The sound made him feel warm all over. If only you knew the things you did to him.
He lifted you up, breaking the kiss momentarily to turn you around so that your chest was pressed against his before locking his lips with yours once more. The sloshing of water and crashing of waves faded into the background as you lost yourself in him. The only evidence that the world around you existed being the chill the soft winds brought to your skin.
The moment is fleeting though and your pulled out of your trance by a familiar voice to calling your name
“Y/N-” Aonung starts as he surfaces from the water, but he doesn't finish, cutting himself of with a gasp. It takes a moment for you to process he’s there, and then your eyes are flying open and your lips are tearing themselves away from Neteyams.
Your neck snaps to the side, to see Aonung floating in the water, eyes wide as he witnesses the scene in front of them.
“Aonung-,” you sputter, pushing Neteyam off you as you try to draw up an explanation for what he had just seen. Anything to help him understand and keep him from telling your parents. Neteyam sputters next to you, just as panicked.
Aonung stares, his eyes wide as they flick between the you and Neteyam.
“It’s not what it looks like-” you start
“He’s not even full Na’vi!” Aonung interupts you, You glare at him.
“Stop it! He is!” You shoot back, jumping to Neteyam’s defense. Aonung shakes his head a sneer curcling over his mouth.
“Please dont say anything.” you beg. He shakes his head, ducking back into the water and swimming away, straight to go tell everyone what’d he’d seen.
“Aonung wait!” Neteyam yells after him, but it’s to late.
Your body slouches in defeat; and you draw your knees up to your chest, resting your forehead against them. Neteyam sits back down next to you, and you sigh heavily. Tears welling in your waterline. Your secret was out now, and it was over.
The little safety haven Neteyam and you had provided each other shattered with a simple look by the wrong eyes, at the wrong time.
Neteyams wraps his arms around you from behind, his head rests against the back of your shoulder. He kisses the flesh there gently, trying to comfort you.
“It’s over.” You mutter taking a shaky breath, trying not to cry, “They’re never gonna let me go near you again.”
“We’ll figure something out,” he promised, “Nothing can keep me away from you forever. Not even your mother, as terrifying as she is.”
You snort at the empty humor he offers, try to believe his comforting words, but you know Neteyam well enough to hear the slight waver in his voice, and catch the faux confidence in his tone. Even he thought you guys were both utterly fucked.
“I don't want to go back yet.” you whisper, shifting in his arms to look at him.
“We dont have to yet.” He agrees. You nod, staring into his eyes, searching his face for every detail, trying to burn it all into your memory as though you’d never be able to see him again.
You tilt your head, pressing a soft kiss to his lips, one he returns just as gently.
Just a few more minutes of paradise. Then you’d face them.

________________________________________
“Y-y/n” Neteyam whispers through clenched teeth. His head thrown back in pure ecstasy. He couldn’t stop the jolts of electricity that twitched throughout his body, desperately chasing after his orgasm his mate deprived him of.
“Hm? What was that sweet boy?” Y/n asks, her hand slick with Neteyam’s precum. Her hand leisurely stroking his shaft. His cock stood up hard, his veins protruding along the girthy length in a desperate plea for a release.
“W-anna c-uhmmm” Neteyam’s words slur, his mind foggy with only one goal in mind.
His body jumps to the feeling of Y/n’s hand firmly grasping his cock, languidly thrusting her hand along his length. The sound of his cum against her hands sent another wave of pure pleasure down his spine. Neteyam’s ears twitched uncomfortably, he’s toes curling at the feeling of his orgasm drawling near.
“Oh c’mon now. Where are your manners?” Y/n tuts mockingly. Her hand slip past his pulsating cock. Leaving him bare. Neteyam whines out loud, his hips thrusting upwards, chasing after her hand that left him high and wet all over again. His hips jerk with vigour, feeling desperation flood his system.
“M’sorry. Plwase Y/n-“ Neteyam tries again, still unable to focus on what his mate was truly asking for. Y/n scoffs at his pathetic plea, she stands up causing Neteyam ears to fold back. Tears lips past his eyes in frustration. Frustration that he couldn’t achieve the orgasm he’s been trying to chase for the past hour.
Y/n steps towards him, lifting herself up to his lap. She gently situated herself on his lap being mindful to avoid his throbbing cock, that rested helplessly against her stomach. Her loincloth was soaked through, the smell of her arousal sending Neteyam into another frenzy. At this point he was convinced he would cum, untouched, just by simply smelling her essence.
“Try again my sweet boy, I know you can do it” Y/n purrs, she places her hand against his chest, pressing him firmly into the chair he sat upon. Thank Eywa she thought of tying his wrists onto the armrest. Preventing him from moving or taking control.
But Y/n had nothing to worry about, he was beyond his reasoning at his point. Willing to submit even if she untied them. Y/n feels Neteyam try to thrust his cock against her stomach, which was slick and covered with his precum.
He was desperate for some sort of friction. Aching for his release. He tries again, jerking his hips upwards once again.
Y/n growls threateningly under her breath, her teeth baring with a hiss. Neteyam whimpers at the sound. His eyes scrunching into a close at the sound that seems to vibrate through her, into him.
“Try again” Y/n says sternly, her thighs closing in on him, locking him in place. She purposely left his cock untouched as she tentatively reached up to caress her hands within his locks. Sweat pooling around his forehead dripping down his face and mixing in with his tears.
“Fuc-k Ma- Shi-“ Neteyam rambles, finding it harder and harder to form words. He squirms under her hold, feeling himself at wits’ end.
Neteyam eyes shoots open abruptly when he felt her delicate hands trail down his hair, gently grabbing onto his kuru. Neteyam’s gasps at the feeling, the most sensitive part of him being held by Y/n’s warm hands. Neteyam aggressively bucks his hips up into her, relishing in the few seconds his cock glided against her glistening stomach.
“Fuck- plEaAs!!” Neteyam cries out pitifully, Y/n bites her lips at the scene in front of her. Neteyam laying bare, his entire body covered in a sheen on sweat. His tears rolling down his cheeks as tiny gasps left his swollen lips. His eyes blown completely wide, unable to take the teasing any longer.
“Plea-ase M-mama, let me cummm” Neteyam tries one last time, using the tiny moment of clarity to his advantage. Finally being able to formulate the words he knew his mate wanted to hear.
Y/n’s ears twitch happily at the nickname. She inhaled her mates scent, feeling her own arousal cloud her thoughts. But that would have to wait. She was here to pleasure her mate first. After some teasing of course.
“That’s it baby, let mama take care of you” Y/n cooes lovingly. She leans her head towards his. Maintaining eye contact as she leans closer to him. Assuming she would pull him in for a kiss, Neteyam lifts his head to meet her half way.
Instead Y/n ducks her head, placing a chaste kiss on his neck. Neteyam gasps at the sudden movement choosing to keep himself still as he feels her tongue graze the flesh between his neck.
Her hands slide down from his kuru, down to his chest. She feels his heart rate beating erratically against his chest as his breath hitched, feeling Y/n’s wet tongue lap up the crevice of his neck. Loving the whimpers that left his lips Y/n traces her hands further down towards his hips stoping right above his cock.
It twitches excitedly, craving for her touch. A touch he knew would immediately bring him euphoria. He was that close. So close to cumming. Instead of providing him that pleasure, Y/n trails her hands behind him, firmly grasping his stiff tail.
“Ma-ma’!!” Neteyam moans out loud at the feeling, his eyes fluttering shut once again. Everything felt overwhelming to him. He saw white splotches evade his vision.
“Hm? Think you can cum sweet boy? Cum for mama?” Y/n whispers against his neck, biting down to leave a mark. Neteyam nods his head furiously, choking back a moan at the stinging sensation. Y/n takes the opportunity to stroke the stiff tail, feeling him pant wildly at the touch. Granted his kuru was sensitive, it was connected to his nervous system after all. But something about his tail, and something about feeling Y/n’s hands lowly stroking the length, made him feel whatever sane part of him, shatter into pieces.
“Yes, yes mama! Fuckkk-“ Neteyam sobs pathetically as Y/n pulls back. Admiring at the mark she left behind, but also at how he looked to be in complete bliss.
“Be a good boy, cum for me. Cum for mama” Y/n instructs, pulling the tail towards her face. She watches how Neteyam stares at her through hooded eyes, anticipating her next move. What happened next completely catches him off guard.
Y/n brings his tail to her mouth clasping it tightly. It was slick with his precum that remained on her hand from before. She sticks her tongue out, licking a strip of precum along his tail. The feeling alone sends him into overdrive.
“Ma- ‘m Cumm-ing!!!” Neteyam wheezes out, feeling the wind get knocked out of him. His eyes cross at the feeling, his body convulsing under the intensity of the orgasm. His body twitches before his eyes roll to the back of his head. His cock twitching wildly as streams of his cum stutter out, splattering against Y/n’s abdomen and chest. The creamy consistency even splattering against his body aswell.
Neteyam hips stutter, cum still leaking out of his cock. He felt like he was being milked dry, not quite registering the fact he came without being touched.
Y/n smirks triumphantly. Her sweet boy doing so well, listening to everything she had to say. She didn’t know he could cum like that, that he could come undone without even touching himself. Y/n gently takes the restraints off his wrists, hearing Neteyam mumble incoherently under his breath.
“Don’t pass out on me yawne. We have a long night ahead of us” Y/n purrs, swiftly removing her soaked loincloth, and tossing it aside. She smirks wide feeling Neteyam’s cock twitch against her abdomen at her words.
Something angsty with Tonowari, like an argument that later they solve and turns fluffy or smuty whatever you want! Lysm <3
I love you too anon <3 thank you for the request!

Your head hurts a lot.
Not just because no one is listening to you, and you’re getting increasingly stressed- but because the amount of flowers, beading, and seashells woven into your hair must weigh an extra ten pounds.
It’s ridiculous. It’s nothing like your usual headdress, which is usually just a clip fashioned out of coral, pulling your hair back, and you want to tell Tonowari that this is pointless.
But he’s not listening, either. Tonowari is off to the side, speaking to Ronal with those big, unblinking blue eyes, listening with a enraptured look that’s pissing you off.
You know she is the new, freshly made Tsahik- she gets the right to speak on spiritual manners before anyone else does. But you want Tonowari to come back to where you’re standing, all alone, waiting for comfort.
Why doesn’t he look at me? You wonder. Doesn’t he care? I’m going through this all alone.
It’s the final phase in your Iknimaya- the coming-of-age ritual- and Tonowari has been by your side for every part of it. You’re a bit late to join the clan as an adult- your peers had already done so about a year ago- but Tonowari had always supported you, even when you felt like you couldn’t do it.
When you first bonded with your skimwing, Tonowari was there, cheering in the water, saying that he knew you could do it.
When you first met your Tulkun Sister, Tonowari was the one who calmly had his hand on your back, because you were nervous she was going to reject you.
Tonowari has always been the one to be there for you. His presence is a comforting one for you, but you know that this isn’t an exclusive feeling. Many people love Tonowari- they come to him for advice whenever it is possible. And you know that’s why he’s been chosen as a successor to the Olo’eytkan.
Still, it bothers you. You want to keep Tonowari all to yourself- even if you know that’s selfish. It’s not the way of the people, but still, you want him to be by your side.
Ronal says something that you can’t quite hear- and you watch as her piercing eyes glance and stare right into you- and you feel judged. You feel small, tiny, as Ronal sizes you up. She turns back to Tonowari and says something with a hint of a smile- and you feel utterly sick to see it.
What could be so funny about you? What is so amusing that Ronal and Tonowari would gossip like this? It’s especially unlike Tonowari to do so. He’s usually such a fair, happy person, one that actually cares about others’ wellbeings, and here he is, becoming closer and closer to Ronal.
They both have some sort of understanding, you can see, by the way that they look at each other. Tonowari squeezes Ronal’s hand- and your face burns with jealousy.
It makes sense, you think. Ronal is a resilient, prickly person, she knows what she means and says it, too. Tonowari is kind of the opposite- as kind-hearted as he is, he also is incredibly strong, and always willing to do the right thing. They both are matched in their sense of justice- and you feel a lump swell in your throat as you think about it.
They’re meant to be. Surely they will be mated, working alongside each other to lead the clan, and you will simply be to the side. It’s so obvious.
Tonowari looks back to you. His eyes are bright, and he has a hint of a smile on his face. But he’s surprised to see your eyes glint with tears, and you look away from him, towards the ground. Icing him out.
He tries his best to get your attention again, eyes searching your face, but you’re still turned away. You refuse to meet his eyes, and Tonowari feels his heart sink, as he wonders what he’s done wrong.
/
The Cove of the Ancestors feels cold today. It’s not a great omen for your ritual, and Ronal tells you as much.
You nod silently. You see her squint, and then look impressed, and you don’t know why. It’s not as if you’re purposefully being stoic, you just can’t find the words to say to her.
You’re standing in the most shallow part of the water, and Ronal steps around you, as the clan watches on.
“Today, you have made yourself a part of the people, forever.” Ronal touches your arms, your collarbones, and finally, your face. She grasps your cheeks, staring deep into your eyes, and you stare back, numb, trying not to feel afraid.
“You are one of us. You will breathe, know, and believe the way of water for as long as you live.” Ronal murmurs, before wrapping the customary garment around you. It’s a special shawl, beaded with beads that have been painstakingly made by hand, by the women of the clan. Everyone has such a shawl.
You pull it around yourself, feeling warmer. There’s some embroidery on the shawl, and it’s intricate- you wonder who did such a thing.
Ronal places three beads in your palm. You close your fist around it, knowing that it is the beads for your songcord, and watch as the Metkayina begin to sing around you.
You listen, feeling pride despite everything, that you have come so far. Their hands all gather to meet around you- a sea of arms, making branches not unlike a tree- and you are at the centre of it all.
You look up, finally, and see Tonowari staring at you. He looks… pleased. Happy. Perhaps you can have that, at least. The contentment of a friend is better than nothing.
Ronal pulls out a small knife. You stiffen- but you’re not truly afraid. She dips it into a shallow well of ink, made from different animals in the sea, and begins the process of tattooing. The song heightens as she creates intricate swirling patterns on your chin, and you bear it, bear the pain as the blade pierces your skin.
Everyone gently pushes you, as they walk, past the shallow pools, and into the water. You sink under, and there are hands cradling you as you do. You see the bright light of the Spirit Tree- and think about how lucky you are to be here. The tattoo’s pain seems to fade away.
Finally, you are pulled back up, after being baptised.
Ronal raises your arm to the clan, who cheer and raise you upwards.
/
After everyone has moved past this, you are exhausted. You want to go back to your home, and go to sleep, especially after knowing that Tonowari is not yours to have.
You don’t know why you ever let yourself think that in the first place.
It’s too bad, though. You’re about to go to sleep in your marui pod, and when you enter through the opening, who else is already there, sitting, waiting, as if he owns the place?
Tonowari.
“Hello.” Tonowari motions for you to come sit next to him, patting on a pillow, but you simply stand in place.
“Why are you here?” You mutter, pulling your shawl around yourself a little tighter.
“Why would I not be here?” Tonowari stands up, and comes towards you, but you take a step back. Hurt flashes across his face as you do.
You look up at him, trying your best to swallow your sadness, your fears and anger, trying to just be as supportive as he was for you.
“I don’t know. Aren’t there other things you need to do?” You stare up at him, and Tonowari looks down at you in confusion. He’s quite a bit taller than you, but he’s never felt imposing, or scary.
He wonders if that’s why you’re pushing him away.
“What could be more important than celebrating the best day of your life?” Tonowari responds softly, and you can’t look at him anymore.
Not when you feel that this has been the complete opposite. It doesn’t feel very momentous when you know Tonowari doesn’t care for you like that, not the way you care for him.
“Seriously. You don’t need to be here. Everything special is over, anyways.” You retort, but Tonowari shakes his head at that.
“I… I thought you would be more happy. That you have come so far.” He sounds serious, and you feel guilty for a moment, until remembering how he looked at Ronal.
“I am, I just… I need to be alone, Tonowari.” You try, but he shakes his head.
Outside, a thunder storm starts, and a downpour of rain begins. Water ripples in the distance, and a pleasant drumming has started over your marui pod.
“No.” Tonowari shakes his head, and you hate him for this, hate him for how perseverant he always has to be, always having to know what happens so he can fix it.
This is the one time he can’t.
“Tell me what’s wrong.” He insists, and you find yourself wanting to run- you start to move backwards, out onto the bridge, rain droplets hitting your hair. Tonowari moves forward quickly, and grasps your arm, pulling you inside before you can resist.
“You’ll get drenched if you’re out there. You’ll catch a cold.” He’s holding both of your arms, and you have nowhere else to go. You stare up at him- and he doesn’t look angry, just concerned.
“Stop… just stop doing that.” You whisper, and he shakes his head.
“Doing what?”
“Pretending that you care, Tonowari.” You finally hiss out, and his eyes widen. “I know you’re my friend- but you don’t really care about me, not in the way that I want you to. I… I don’t think I can keep being friends with you since that’s how it has to be, and I’m sorry.”
He tries to cut you off, but you keep going.
“I know it’s selfish. But it’s all I can really say.” You stare down at the ground, and Tonowari’s hands come up onto your shoulders, trying to comfort you. “I wish you and Ronal nothing but the best.”
Tonowari’s eyebrows furrow in confusion. “Ronal?”
“Yes.” You sigh with a deep sorrow that only makes him more upset that you didn’t bring this up sooner. “I know you like her. I saw how you two were looking at each other.”
Tonowari exhales, glad that this was all it was, an easily fixable misinterpretation of events that he could correct, and that he wasn’t really at risk of losing you- and he pulls you in for a tight, bone crushing hug.
You gasp. “Tonowari- let me go-!”
“No, skxawng.” His chest rumbles with deep laughter as you try to fight him, and he picks you up easily. “You should have told me.”
Tonowari walks with you in his grasp, and sits down, where he was before. He wraps his arms around your waist, holding you close to him. He doesn’t care that you’re angry at him- he’s happy that he can finally tell you the truth.
“Why? So you could’ve rubbed it in my face, even harder?” You glare upwards at him.
“Do you really think I would be holding you like this if I was to mate with Ronal?” He comments, just casually enough, and you remember where you are, and how close you are to him. You turn a deep purple- and Tonowari cackles at your expression.
“So?”
“So.” He places his forehead against yours. “I’m sorry you spent however long feeling like this. That was not my intention- and I hope you can forgive me.”
You open your mouth to say something, but Tonowari shushes you.
His hand comes upward to trace your jaw, mouth, and chin where your freshly made tattoo is still healing.
“I asked Ronal if it seemed appropriate to ask you to… to mate with me, because it would be so soon after you finished your Iknimaya.” He admits, and you gaze softens. “She said yes, because you seem so sure of yourself already- except for just now, I suppose.”
You find yourself smiling a little. Even giggling. How could you be so silly?
Not that it matters now, anyways.
“Will you? Would you be okay with being my mate?” Tonowari asks, and you hug him especially close, your face nuzzling into his neck.
“Of course I would, are you crazy? That’s what I was upset about.” You beam at him. “I’m only sorry that I was being such a skxawng.”
Tonowari grins. “So, did you like the shawl?”
“Huh?”
His hand traces the embroidery in your shawl. You feel your chest turn warm at his contact.
“I did this- not well, but I did this. My mother showed me how.” He tells you, and you are taken aback, that Tonowari did such a thing and you had been wearing it this whole time, not knowing how important it was. How special it is.
How could you ever assume that he did not care?
“It’s perfect.” You say honestly, holding it close. “I’ll treasure it forever.”
Tonowari’s eyes suddenly turn a little darker- his lids are half closed- and he leans in, pulling you in for a kiss, except he first kisses your forehead, and then your cheeks, and then he kisses your chin, where your tattoo is still burning a little.
His kiss makes it feel better, though.
He leans in and kisses you for real this time, his lips being soft, chastely plying at your own, before you kiss him back, and lean into his touch. His arms embrace you firmly, not letting you move away from him, and you wrap your arms around his neck.

Darkness.
That's all you felt, all you could see.
You haven't left your pod in days, the way you felt currently was like someone came and stomped on your heart. As you sat in the darkness of your pod the past events that caused you to be in this condition played through your head.
You and your boyfriend Tawal haven't been spending that much time together because he told you he's been busy with warrior training which you understood. You decided to make his favorite meal and bring it to him as a surprise so the both of you could spend quality time together.
As you walked closer to his pod you could hear faint noises, 'what is that?' you thought to yourself. As you got closer walking ever so quietly you begin to hear a woman's voice, "Yes! T-Tawal j-just like that" You heard the unknown woman moan out in pleasure.
The curtain to his pod was slightly open so you could see Tawal rutting into her as lewd noises evaded the woman and Tawal's mouth. As you watched them your eyes began to water. You couldn't believe the man you loved decided to cheat on you and screw this woman. You wanted to barge in there and rip his head off but you didn't instead, you went home and cried yourself to sleep.
The next day as you clean around your pod, you heard someone's footsteps enter "Good morning" you heard Tawal say as he sat down at your table "Where is my breakfast? You usually have breakfast prepared for me when I come over" He looked at you confused as to why this routine changed all of a sudden.
You let out a dark chuckle while shaking your head, "Why don't you have that woman you were fucking yesterday do it for you" You scowled at him as his eyebrows raised "What are you talking about Y/N? I wasn't with a woman yesterday " He said as he began walking up to you and tried to kiss your lips.
You backed up from him and began raising your voice, "Stop playing stupid Tawal I HEARD her moaning your name I SAW you thrusting into her like a wild animal!"
"How did you even hear and see us? What were you do—"
"It doesn't matter what I was doing, the point is that I caught you and I can't believe you just tried to act like it wasn't true! How could you cheat on me Tawal?! How could you just decide to go sleep with some random girl!?" As you yelled he didn’t even say anything and you hated how he looked so serene.
"SAY SOMETHING YOU ASSHOLE!"
Tawal's once calm demeanor changed to an angry one, you calling him an 'asshole' flickered something in him. "You want to know why I did it?! Fine, I'll tell you! We've been together for almost a year and we haven't even had sex one time! all we do is kiss and touch and that shit is boring"
"I told you before we started dating I didn't want to have sex until we mated and you said you were okay with that!" You were always a little insecure about wanting to wait. Deep down you felt like Tawal would do something like this because you weren't giving him the full package.
"Well, clearly I'm not! I can't be with a woman who can't fully gratify me, that's why I'm breaking up with you and I'm going to mate with Zora. She is a woman who can FULLY tend to my needs" As you heard him say that your heart felt like it broke in half. You couldn't believe the man you loved just said another woman could satisfy him.
"Zora?! You wanna mate with Zora?! That's the woman you want instead of me?!" you say as hot tears began to stain your cheeks "Someone who has fucked every man in the clan?! that's someone you want to mate with?!"
Zora is a promiscuous woman who is well known by any and every man in the clan. She sleeps with anyone that gives her the slightest attention. If a man even made eye contact with her she was ready to spread her legs wide open for him.
"Yes, it is! She is— you know what?! Why am I even explaining myself to you? It doesn't even matter just listen to my words I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE!" He yelled so loud that you are sure that the whole clan heard.
Hearing him say he didn't want you made your heartache, "W-We were suppose to be together forever Tawal! Y-you promised me we would always be together forever! How could you do this to us?!"
It was like everything changed between the two of you in a blink of an eye. Like he just changed into this monster overnight.
"Forever doesn't last when there isn't anything there anymore Y/N! Do you not get that?!" As he watched you cry he didn't even feel an ounce of guilt for the pain he caused you, he felt like you brought this upon yourself. "I stopped loving you a while ago, maybe if you would've been putting out like a real woman should this wouldn't have happened!"
The sadness you felt was soon replaced with a feeling of fierce anger
"YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK YOU TAWAL! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! LEAVE! NOW!" You shouted with venom falling off your lips as you hit him in the chest and pushed him toward the entryway of your pod. You couldn't stand to look at him anymore, looking at the cold expression on his face made your stomach churn. His words lingering in the air made you feel physical pain.
"DON'T COME BACK!" You shoved him out of your pod and tied your curtain closed so no one could come in.
That was the last time you saw him and the first day you felt gloom grow inside you.
Ever since that day, you haven't stepped foot out of your pod. You didn't want to see anyone, you didn't want to hear people whispering about you and Tawal, and you just couldn't handle the discomfiture right now. You didn't even want to see your best friend Neteyam, you didn't want him to see you so broken and distraught.
The past few days you haven't been taking care of yourself or your home properly. Your pod was a mess and you haven't been eating. You didn't have the strength to do anything except cry. Every time someone would come to make sure you were okay you would just snarl at them and tell them to leave and everyone would do what you asked.
At this time you were laying down in your makeshift bed balling your eyes out. Your emotions were still raw from the fight and breakup with Tawal and it was hitting you like a brick wall. You didn't want to do anything except weep into your pillow, you were crying so much that your head was throbbing. You just felt so lost and broken and you loathed Tawal for making you feel like this.
As you continued feeling melancholic you heard a voice, "Y/N let me come in, I want to make sure you're okay" Neteyam said as he stood outside your pod. He has been so worried about you ever since he heard you and Tawal argue. He didn't know what the origin was but he knew it must've been bad.
"Neteyam leave me be! Go away!" You yell out hoping he would leave. He's been coming by every day and every time you sent him away, he usually listened and left but today he wasn't going to leave.
"No, I'm not leaving until I know you're okay. You're my best friend and I haven't seen you in days."
"Neteyam please leave! I-I don't want to see you! I don't want you to see me like this!" You say as your voice began to crack. You hated that you kept turning him away but you just couldn't face him in this state.
When Neteyam heard your voice crack he felt a twinge in his heart, "Y/N please let me in, let me be there for you" You could hear slight desperation in his voice, you knew that he wanted to see you.
You knew that Neteyam was going to keep persisting so you let out a sigh and sluggishly made your way to the curtain so you could untie it for him to come in. Once you untied it you walked back into your bed and pulled your blanket around your body. "Come in Neteyam" you say just loud enough for him to hear you from outside.
Neteyam pulled the curtain back and walked in. His eyes widened when he saw the condition of your pod. He knew you were a very clean and tidy person so for you to have a messy pod he knew something was definitely bothering you.
Neteyam walks over to you and sits down at the end of the bed, "Y/N please talk to me what's wrong? What’s going on with you and Tawal?"
Hearing his name made your ears pin to the side of your head and made you sit up with an angry glare, "Do not speak of him in my house. I do not want to hear his name" you tell him as more tears flow down your face.
This was the first time Neteyam has seen you in days and he began to take in your appearance. You had puffy eyes with dark circles, your hair was all over the place and you just didn't look anything like your normal self. "Y/N what happened? Did he do something to you?" He put his hands on your arms and began to rub them softly.
You haven't had contact with anyone in days, feeling Neteyam's warmth radiating towards you as his fingertips glided against your skin and his concern-filled eyes made you cry even harder, "I- was walking *sniffle* to his pod and I saw him w-with—he was—" you couldn't even finish your sentence without breaking out into a sob. "Shhh it's okay Y/N you don't have to tell me right now" He brought you into his embrace and began rubbing your back to comfort you as your head was on his shoulder. He could gather what you were trying to say and he saw Tawal and Zora sneaking off together earlier today so he connected the dots.
"I'm here for you Y/N, I'm going to help you get through this. You won't feel like this forever, the pain you feel will soon subside. I'll be by your side no matter what" Neteyam could see how broken you were and he was going to help you pick up the pieces.
That day Neteyam stayed and comforted you. After a while, Neteyam was able to get you to calm down and you began to drift off to sleep on his shoulder. "Y/N?" He whispered, he didn't hear you respond so he assumed you fell asleep. He laid your body gently back onto the bed and pulled the cover over you so that you wouldn't be cold.
He then turned around and began walking into the open area of your pod. He began to clean up your pod for you as you slept peacefully. He wanted to start helping you get into a better head space and by being in a clean environment he felt like that would help.
You and Neteyam have been best friends ever since the two of you were children. One day you were playing with your toy hexapede in a patch of moss and a group of little kids began to tease you. Neteyam watched the interaction from afar and marched over to where you were and ran the children away. You thanked Neteyam for helping you and from that day forward the two of you were inseparable.
As both of you got older Neteyam started to grow feelings for you. He never expressed his feelings because he didn't know how you would react and he didn't want to ruin your friendship so he hid his feelings from you. Anytime the two of you were together and you weren't paying attention he would give you loving glances and would admire your beautiful smile. He always loved seeing your usual joyful spirit so seeing you so in such a broken state pained him.
Hours went by and he finally finished cleaning your pod from top to bottom. As he was admiring his work you began to wake up. You began hearing movement in your pod and you assumed it was your best friend, "Teyam?"
When Neteyam heard your voice he immediately came to where you were, "Yes?"
"What are you still doing here? I thought you would've left by now..." you say as you rubbed your eyes with sleep still lingering in your voice.
"I stayed and did a little something for you" he said with a soft smile which made you fur your eyebrows, "what do you mean? What did you do?"
Without saying a word he put out his hand for you to grab. You moved your hand toward him and he helped you up and intertwined his hand with yours and began walking to the open area of your pod. As you followed him you looked around and saw that all the things you had sprawled out and the piles of mess you had were cleaned up.
As you walked deeper into the open area and saw how spotless everything was your eyes widened, "Neteyam did you clean all of this for me?"
"Yes of course I did, I wanted to help you so I did one of the things I'm good at which it's cleaning"
When you looked at Neteyam you could see a warm smile on his face. You knew that Neteyam always loved to help people but for him to help you brought out a feeling you haven't felt in the past few days which was happiness.
A soft smile spread across your face as you wrapped your arms around Neteyam's neck and pulled him for a hug, "Thank you Neteyam, you didn't have to do this for me"
At first, Neteyam was surprised by your sudden contact but he was glad to see your smile again. He wrapped his arms around your waist and hugged you back, "Your welcome, I know I didn't have to but I wanted to"
As both of you hugged it felt like butterflies swarmed your stomach, you've never felt this sensation with Neteyam before so it was new to you. You unwrapped your arms from around his neck and pulled back and began looking into his golden eyes. His eyes were piercing your soul, it was almost like he was trying to tell you something.
This is the moment you realized that you and Neteyam's friendship was going to slowly change. You didn't know what direction it would go but you were interested in finding out.
—
Over this past month, Neteyam has been helping and caring for you vastly. In the beginning, you were nervous about being around the clan again, scared that you would overhear them gossiping about you. You told Neteyam about how you felt and from that point on every time you had to walk around the village he was right by your side. When he would hear someone whispering your name or even look at you the wrong way he would bare his teeth and their actions would come to a halt.
In the beginning, you were starting to get back to your normal self being happy and bright but sometimes the gloom you once felt consumed you and took you back to the emotions you felt the day you found Tawal with Zora.
Neteyam would find you crying or throwing things angrily around your pod. He would quickly come to you and wipe your tears and tell you everything would be okay or he would grab whatever was in your hand and calm you down.
Some nights he even stayed over with you just to make sure you were okay throughout the night. Some of those nights you would peacefully sleep and some nights you went on full rants about how much of an asshole Tawal was and sat there Neteyam and listened to your every word, saying little things every few seconds to let you know he was actively listening.
As the weeks progressed you were finally getting over Tawal. Seeing him in the village with Zora didn't affect you anymore, at first when the wound he created on your heart was fresh you wanted to break their unholy union. But after a while, you realized that it was only a matter of time before Eywa gave him the karma he deserves.
Over this month your friendship with Neteyam has changed, you were now seeing him in a new light.
You were now seeing him romantically.
Whenever you saw him you paid more attention to his physique. The way his body was sculpted so beautifully and how his cummerbund was wrapped around his small waist.
Every time Neteyam would grab your hand and walk beside you through the forest you felt sparks of electricity go through you, you felt blissful with him. Now when you were around him you never wanted him to leave, you wanted him to be glued to your side.
These feelings you felt with Neteyam you've never felt before not even with Tawal. The way Neteyam was making you feel was something truly unique.
Over this month Neteyam's feelings for you have grown and he felt them immensely. He felt like his heart was going to explode at the sight of you, every time he walked and talked with you he felt a overwhelming amount of serotonin rush through his veins.
It has now gotten to the point where he couldn't hide his feelings from you anymore, he had to tell you in the hope that you felt the same.
You and Neteyam were currently sitting next to each other carving and painting wooden beads. As he watched you paint your beads he could see a joyous smile plastered onto your face, "Teyam this is fun!" you tell him with child like excitement as you dip your fingers into the bowl of green paint. "Yeah this is fun" he chuckled as he continued carving beads for you to paint.
Since you were in a happy mood he felt like this was the best time to confess his feelings for you, "Y/N I've been wanting to tell you something for a while..."
You looked up from what you were doing and faced him, "Okay what is it?"
Neteyam took in a deep breath and mentally said a prayer to Eywa that this would go the way he hopes, "Every since we were young I've liked you romantically. For years I have yearned for you, in secrecy and silence and I just can't dismiss my feelings for you anymore" As Neteyam notices your gaze on the ground he grabs your chin lightly and looks at you with a loving gaze "I can't pretend that I don't love you anymore because I do".
As you sat there and listened to Neteyam's words and looked into his golden eyes you felt a deep affection for him. Over the past month, your feelings have grown for him too. "I'm infatuated with you Neteyam, I've been for a while I was just waiting for you" you say brightly as your eye’s begin to glisten with happiness
"I see you Teyam"
"I see you too Y/N, I will always see you" Neteyam pulled you into his lap and wrapped his arms around your waist. You laid back on his chest with your head in the crook of his neck while he leaned up against the tree behind him. From being so close together you could feel his warmth mixing with yours.
The two of you sat together watching the sun set on the forest as both of you just embraced each other and soaked up the loving aura in the air.
—
As you and Neteyam were walking through the forest you heard Lo'ak calling out for both of you, "Y/N! Neteyam!" Both of you turned around and saw Lo'ak walking toward the two of you.
"What is it baby bro?" Neteyam asked with a confused look, wondering why he was calling them
"Did you two hear about Tawal and Zora?" Lo'ak said while trying to hold back a laugh
"No what happened?" You asked him
"There's is a rumor going around the clan that since they mated Zora has still been sleeping with other men and she gave Tawal an STD" Lo'ak said while laughing
Your eyes widen as you heard Lo'ak tell you this information, "Really?!"
"Yes I even heard him ask one of the elders if there was anything to get rid of his 'burning and itching' problem"
You and Neteyam began to laugh as you heard of Tawal's issue. You knew that Eywa was going to give him some sort of karma and this was it.
"He brought it on himself by knowingly sleeping with a woman who has slept with every man in the twice. He knew what he was getting himself into" you said while shrugging your shoulders. You didn't feel any remorse for him but how could you after what he did to you?
As you, Neteyam, and Lo'ak continued laughing you could see Tawal walking past the three of you. Tawal walked past trying not to be seen but it didn't work out in his favor, "Hey Tawal! Are you still itching and burning from Zora?!" Lo'ak yelled out which made you and Neteyam break out into laughter.
"Lo'ak!" you were beginning to grow breathless as laughs erupted from your throat. You tried to seize your laughter but you couldn't. The situation was just too hilarious not to laugh.
As Tawal heard all of you laughing he grew so embarrassed that his tail tucked in between his legs. He began to speed walk away, trying to get away from the three of you as quick as he could.
As Tawal walked away he could see you and Neteyam holding hands. It sickened him to see you with him but he knew that he messed up all his chances with you. Tawal knew you deserved someone better and that Neteyam was better deserving of your love and affection.
Tawal looks back at you one more time before walking away. As he thought about the good times both of you had and how you use to make him laugh, a single tear fell down his cheek. He felt so stupid for messing this up with you for Zora. After he and Zora mated he realized everything he felt for her was lust, they didn't have any real connection like the one both of you shared. He didn't know why his past self broke up with you for a bottom-of-the-barrel woman.
As he walked away he saw Zora walk up to him, "Tawal why are crying? What is wrong?" She asked him as she went to reach out for his hand. Tawal scoffed and backed away from her, "Get away from Zora, you're what's wrong with me. You ruined the best relationship I had and you gave me a disease for Eywa's sake! I mated with you and you continued to sleep around, you told me you would stop but you didn't. You've made me look like a fool in front of the whole clan!" They began to have a loud argument which drew your attention.
As you look at him you were glad that he ended things off with you because if he hadn't you wouldn't have been able to have Neteyam as a lover. You were thankful to Eywa that she destined this path for you, that she made you and Neteyam's stars aligned. You were thankful that your best friend turn into your lover.
You move closer to Neteyam and lean in to kiss his cheek. Neteyam turns and looked down at you with his loving eyes, "What was that for?"
"It was because I love you" you say as warmth spreads across your cheeks and they begin to turn a light shade of purple.
You begin to see his lips curl up into a smile. He grabs your chin lightly and pulls you in for a soft yet loving kiss, "I love you too, I'll always love you forever"
I hope you enjoyed🩷!

Summary: Anoung and his group starting make fun of you. Neteyam didn’t let that happen.
Note: he’s so cute istg.
There is a few things you don’t do when talking to someone taken. You don’t flirt with them, you don’t disrespect them, and you sure as hell don’t touch them, ever. Neteyam had responsibilities as the eldest child to not start problems in his families new home, or course all those responsibilities was on the tip of his head. Even the strongest slip. He watches you and his siblings from a far nearly everyday to ensure everyone’s safety and compliance to rules. The soon to be new chief didn’t respect the rules of a taken mate, An’oung often lacked the ability of respect though. Over the past few weeks Anoung was anything but respectful to his family, but stepping over the line was when he approached you. This was unforgivable. You were sitting on the shore looking at the shells under water in your own little world, not bothering anyone or anything. The taunting voices make you emerge from the water, not hearing what they said clearly, “huh? What’d you say?”. Anoung scoffs at you in a repulsive way, “are you some kind of freak?”. “He asked if you were a freak”, one of his friends chimes in, leaning in closer. Your ears drop similar to your head, “…no” you try to walk past the group but one of them grabs your wrist pulling you to face them. They all snicker at you and your distaste, “look at her little baby tail” one of them grabs your tail drawing a loud gasp from you. You smack his hand, hissing at him ultimately entertaining the group more. This encounter doesn’t go unnoticed by Lo’ak though, “Hey fish lips, hands off” he yells. Neteyam was walking with Lo’ak at the time and didn’t see what was happening until his little brother ran off randomly. Of course Neteyam followed after him at a light jog not understanding, and then fury ran through his body. That feeling of protectiveness that he’s tried to hold back the whole time his family was here, all falls out. He storms ahead of Lo’ak, he steps in-front of your pushing you behind him lightly. Neteyam wastes no time to push Anoung backwards roughly, hissing at him no words exchanged. Anoung puts both his hands up in surrender while also pushing his friend back behind him so he doesn’t start something. “Good choice”, Neteyam manages to grit out a the group before putting a hand on your back and guiding you away. Lo’ak trails a little ways behind letting you and your mate have a moment alone. Neteyam’s hand is softly resting on you back still hit his other hand is clenched in a tight fist and it’s obvious his jaw is locked. “I’m sorry Teyam”, you mumbled out feeling ashamed for no real reason. “Don’t. Just prattle on about something so I don’t turn around”, he says opening and closing his fist. “What?”, you respond in a small whisper. Neteyam has no reason to turn around, you thought he handled the situation pretty well. Neteyam wanted nothing more than to shove his fist into each and every one of their faces, in fact he craved to feel the crack of a broken nose just once. “Please just start talking about anything, just anything baby”. You can talk, if that’s all he’s asking you to do well you’ll do it. Just start talking about the sand or maybe the new necklace your working on. “Ok ok I can do that, I’m making a necklace for you. I was going to make a matching one for me so everyone knows your mine”. Neteyam hums feeling himself slowly uncoil and calm down just a little, “are you gonna weave something into them?”, he says wanting you to continue. How can someone be so beautiful while angry? How can he be so in control of his emotions even when he’s been through the most? “Yes maybe some stones or shells similar to each other” you say noticing his shoulders falling from relaxation just slightly. Your turn your body to face his completely bringing your hands to rest on his cheeks. You smile at him brightly your teeth poking out slightly making Neteyam return a soft look as well. Your thumb runs across his face soothingly, him instinctively moving towards that hand. “Thank you for protecting me teyam”, his eyes opening making contact with yours.
His hand moves to hold yours that is still resting on his face, “always”.

also, all info on yautja is from google, so pls forgive any inaccuracy

warnings: ooc, description of violence, use of y/n, gn reader (no female descriptions)
dictionary: nìwin - hurry | olo'eyktan - clan leader | kä tsatseng - go there
"nìwin!" kiri desperately shouted, trying her hardest to scramble away from the thanator trying to kill her and her siblings. what should've been a typical day of exploring the wilderness of pandora had quickly turned into a race for survival. today was a special day, where all of the sully siblings had nothing to do; with their father being olo'eyktan this was an extremely uncommon occurrence.
"kä tsatseng! we can't outrun it for much longer!" neteyam pointed to a fallen tree trunk; the inside was wide enough for them to fit in yet thick enough to be used as shelter. neteyam anxiously crouched by the opening to the tree trunk and waited for his siblings to crawl in.
---------------------------------------------
"y/n, if your mask isn't on in the next 3 seconds..." your father started, his threatening tone seeping through his teeth.
"yeah, seeing your face makes me feel ill," your eldest half-brother, Kyro, teased. you playfully scoffed and picked up a small stone, swiftly throwing it at the back of his head.
your father groaned, turning to his second oldest child, Milo, "please, control your siblings.."
"..mhm," Milo half-heartedly replied, focusing on polishing his wrist blades. the four of you were far ahead of the rest of the hunting party; though you and your elder brothers were 'half-breeds', you didn't let your human characteristics stop you. while being 6 feet tall made you & your brothers the smallest in the pack, it also made you the most agile. you could fit into small(er) places and ambush your opponent, making you and your brothers some of the most honourable hunters.
the roar of a wild animal caused the 4 of you to stop abruptly.
"i'll get this one!" you chirped, quickly skipping towards your new challenge.
"what!? but you got the last one!" Kyro groaned, frustrated. Milo sighed and rested his elbow on Kyro's shoulder, watching you disappear into the wilderness.
---------------------------------------------
you slowed down and scanned the area for your prey. your eyes locked onto an adult thanator growling fiercely and clawing at a fallen tree trunk.
'10 feet tall, six long legs and hundreds of sharp teeth...' you analysed the creature, inching closer towards the beast. '..finally, a worthy opponent'. you ran your tongue against your fangs and adjusted your mask before allowing the cloak to conceal your existence. you punched the thanator firmly in the jaw, and it immediately jumped away, frantically looking around for danger.
"...w-what just happened?" lo'ak whispered, looking through one of the many holes the thanator had made in the wood.
"i...i have no idea," neteyam breathed out, his eyes wide open in shock.
the soft gold rays of the setting sun had slightly exposed the outline of your figure, and your opponent ferociously foamed at the mouth, its claws digging deep into the rich soil of pandora. the thanator let out a vicious snarl before attempting to pounce on you. you swiftly dodged and used your leg to kick it harshly in the back.
the sully siblings were frozen in fear as they watched the thanator be brutally beaten by what seemed like...air? as the fight continued, you allowed the cloak to wear off, revealing your human physique. but you were in no danger, as by then, the thanator was already on the brink of death, too weak to even let out a sound. lo'ak cringed as he watched you deliver the final blow, a powerful punch that sent the thanator's body into a distant tree trunk.
"what a shame, it wasn't as strong as i thought," you whined, removing your mask and fixing your hair. you turned to the fallen tree trunk and said, "you know you guys can come out now."
tuk let out a gasp as you exposed their hiding place, oblivious to the fact you had noticed them after the first punch. neteyam was the first to crawl out, one hand placed on the shaft of his dagger while the other held tightly onto tuk's wrist. lo'ak and kiri soon followed suit, standing closely behind their eldest sibling.
"don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you," you chuckled, eyeing the dagger on neteyam's waist.
"..thank you for saving us," kiri thanked, stepping out in front of her siblings and lowering her head slightly in respect.
"yeah..you saved our lives out there," lo'ak scratched behind his neck awkwardly, looking at the floor.
"no worries, i was looking for a fight anyway," you reassured. "I'm guessing you are all siblings?"
"yeah, our last name is sully," neteyam confirmed, reluctantly removing his hand from the handle of his dagger.
"y/n! we're heading back now! hurry up!" you heard Milo call from somewhere in the forest.
"well, i guess I'll see you sullys around," you flashed a grin and waved goodbye to four siblings before heading back towards your family.
"wait! we...uh, didn't catch your name?" lo'ak called out, slightly tilting his head.
"call me y/n!" you shouted in reply,
"...see you later, y/n!" tuk cheered, waving both her arms while smiling widely
you smiled softly, secretly hoping you'd come across the sully siblings again.
