SUMMARY: You can’t accept your mates’ death, and Lo’ak knocks that one piece of information to your head
WARNINGS: angst, yelling, crying, mentions of death of a loved one, fluff at the end
You were there with the Sully’s when his parents released Neteyam for good, and his death is the only thing keeping you from doing whatever daily campaign you attend. It was really a shame that you hadn’t participated in the war against the sky people, you could have saved him as a trained medic.
A never ending pool of tears would be the only thing that stayed by your side four days after his funeral.
That was until Lo’ak took the initiative to come and see you in such a downy state.
“You can’t be such a lonely fuck forever girl.” He leaned on the entrance of your Mauri, arms crossed, waiting in anticipation for an answer from you. You turned your head to face him.
“Turns out I can be a lonely fuck.” You raised your eyes up to the sky while turning away from him.
“We miss you, Y/N. You gotta let him go..” He said, pushing himself off of the doorframe and headed over to you. “We can be a full friend group again, and I promise you, we will help you get better.”
Lo’ak’s words made you think of Neteyam’s presence, how he’s still here, with you, with his family, with his friends. “Full friend group.. with Neteyam..” You believed.
“No- Y/N I didn’t mean that.”
“Neteyam is still here, with us, Lo’ak.” You smiled, you started to fill with joy, but that was until Lo’ak decided to click you back to reality.
“No! Y/N! Neteyam is not here anymore, he won’t ever come back! Please! Just accept it.” He yelled, finishing off with a softening tone while holding your forearms. You started trembling, feeling the tears and grief warm up to your cheeks once again. Lo’ak barely had any time to process your shaking figure before looking up at you, pure horror and sadness crossing your face, before he pulled you into a hug.
“I’m so sorry.. Y/N.” He held a hand to the back of your head.
“No- no I am.. I should have gotten over him the second he was taken by Eywa.” You slowly stopped shaking, but the tears you’ve been holding back started to fall, that’s when you really needed the comfort and hugged Lo’ak back.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked you. He felt a twinge of guilt slash his heart at the fact that you had been suffering along without any comfort from anyone, that’s why you haven’t gotten over his brother’s death.
While you were alone, Lo’ak had his family, which is why he recovered so fast. He felt so sorry that he had to leave you alone for so long, so he decided to give you an offer, comfort.
“Yes.” You concluded.
