[Gender Neutral Reader]
Summary: Your boy end up ill and you will take care of him
Note: Late Happy Christmas to you all, sorry write block sucks, also this were what i imagine about Neteyam being sick so feel free to make your requests. (Good reading)
Neteyam probably is very difficult type of person when sick, he always does so much to show his parents and not always ends good for him.
Not wanting to rest since he had so many responsabilities and duties as the chief's eldest son and to his family, so at first he would live his day as always.
When he found out he was indeed sick he tried to keep it to himself, but didn't last long, you as Neteyam's "mate" (you 2 haven't mated yet due to the age, so you both were basically dating), you rushed to the Tsa'rik tent to hear him being scolded by his grandmother.
After such long talk about his healthy, his grandmother asked you to to accompany him to the family's marui and ensure he rested, since his parents and siblings mostly were out.
"You don't have to do all of this, im oookay"-He said but his tone didn't gave him much creditibility.
"Yeah surely, after almost falling from your Ikran at air is a great example of the oppositive, gladly your Ikran made sure you didn't fell"- You answered as you both sit down, helping Neteyam lay down.
"You dumbass, one day this reckless way of yours of give your best at cost of your well being will be your doom, don't you dare get up"- You said after putting his weapon and other stuff away and seeing at the corner of your eye he trying to get up.
"if you say so, i can give it a try"- Neteyam chuckles before sneezing as you were getting a wet coat for his head, "You know for someone who is very responsible all the time, you're the most stubborn than a Na'vi child i tend to see".
Neteyam would cherish these moments more than he could admit loud, for him he can rest without any heavy duty or babysit his siblings for a while, with you he can let himself being the one to be cared for by someone, act like another boy from his age & clan.
By the time his parents arrived, he was asleep heavily and surely would be good as new tomorrow, or he would enjoy this a bit more in the next day, since his future mate was taking such a good care of him.
He would never do this on purpose, mostly to his loyalty to his responsabilities and future ones as well, but certainly he would wish for your attention and confort when this happened again (Let's be honest, this boy has to be force to take a break, if is by external forces like you and his family or his own body almost fainting, but a couple of conversations can help).
Neteyam is more than glad to have you as future mate, you maintain your ground even when he stubborn enough to get on your nerves and then later you became his "doctor".
Is a cycle strange but his family is backing you in taking care of him, you can't helped but ask for Eywa give you enough to keep up with his chaotic surroundings sometimes, and yourself end up sick, he definetly take this duty with all his heart, tomorrow is other day and you definetly had a busy day since early, sweet dreams.
