Synopsis: you are the eldest child of the olo'eyktan and tsahik of the Metkayina tribe when a certain Omatikaya family comes seeking uturu in your home village.
warnings: cussing
Multiple people gather around looking at the skinny family, Tonowari; your father, emerges from the crowd along with your mother to be met with the Toruk Makto, Jake sully.
“Why do you come to us, Jake Sully?” Tonowari questions the man, wary but respectful. “We seek uturu.” Ronal quirks her head at that, eyeing the family carefully “Uturu?” She walks around them. Inspecting their features. “We are reef people. You are forest people, your skills will mean nothing here.” Tonowari goes on while Ronal grabs at them, feeling their skinny arms, tails and hands. “These children… they are not even true Na’vi!” She grabs up Kiris hand, showing the clan her pinky finger. You emerge from the water along with your little sister Tsireya. “Tsk, what is all this commotion?” You shake your head and shoo your Ilu away. Walking up you see a forest family, curious you walk up, moving along the crowd to see your mother fighting with the mother of the forest family.
“I was born of the Omatikaya! My husband was Toruk Makto! He led the clans to victory!” She hisses to Ronal who hisses right back “And now he brings his war to us?” Jake notices the tension and tries to calm his wife despite her stubbornness. You look over at the children and see a little girl, a boy and girl around Tsireya and aonungs age, then finally the eldest boy who’s your age, you two stare at eachother for a moment but you look away, you go to stand next to Aonung, tugging Tsireya along. After Jake’s pleading, your parents communicating and your mothers clear defeat, it is obvious your father decided.
He raises his arms, ready to announce to the clan. “Toruk Makto and his family will stay with us. Treat them as our brothers and sisters. They do not know the sea, so they will be like babies taking their first breath. Teach them our ways so they do not suffer the shame of being useless.” He looks over to Jake sully, “My children will teach your children our ways- Aonung scoffs in disagreement, “But father!- Tonowari sends him a stern look and puts an arm out infront of his son. “It is decided.”
You step up infront of the children and smile, “Follow me.”
On the shore, you find yourself leading the group along with your two siblings and your family friend roxto. “You might be good at swinging in trees but-“ you cut off Aonung with a slap to the head, which the eldest boy who you learned his name was Neteyam, laughed at. “Shut up skxwang…we will start with your breathing. We use abdominal breathing to stay under water longer.” You try to keep your gaze on the whole group but it constantly finds its way back to neteyam whose gaze is strictly on you. Flustered you continue your instructions, while everyone has someone to train with you end up getting stuck with neteyam. “breathe in, breathe out. Imagine a flickering flame. Slow down your heartbeat.” You reach down towards his abdomen, placing a hand on his stomach gently.“Breathe down from here. Breathe out slowly.” Touching him gently makes you both flustered. Once you believe he gets it you quickly cut the breathing practice short. “swim with us!” Tsireya says with glee, leading the group to the shore.
Diving underneath the three young metkayina instuctors swim fast, leaving behind the omatikaya kids. After looking behind, you notice they aren’t close to where you are and Aonung signs “What’s wrong with them?” Roxto smiles and signs back “those guys are bad divers.” Tsireya slaps him and signs, “be nice, they are learning.” You giggle at this little moment and sign “skxawng” hitting Aonung upside his head as he rolls his eyes. Resurfacing little Tuk lets out a groan “you’re too fast!! Wait for us!!” You smile and brush her little braids out of her face when Neteyam speaks up, looking at you “We don’t speak this finger talk, we don’t know what you’re saying.” You look over to him “I’ll teach you.”
After the training you still have many duties to do, bidding the Sully kids goodbye you rush off to do your Tsahik training with your mother.
“Neteyam! Hey, that Tsireya girl is hot!” Lo’ak runs to catch up to his older brother, seeming to want to talk about his new crush. “I guess bro. I wasn’t really paying attention.” Neteyam rolls his eyes as he makes his way to his families new home, “Yeah I saw, you were too busy looking at the older sister. You two seemed to like eachother. Got real close during the breathing practices.” he teases his brother, or tries to. “Oh shut up Lo’ak. She had to get that close to show me where to breathe you idiot.” His mind plays the scene again, touching his lower stomach as he blushes but his thoughts are quickly interrupted when his mother calls out for him. “Neteyam! Come help me prepare dinner.”
You’re halfway done with your training for the day when Tsireya walks in with a gleeful smile. You look up “you look awfully happy. Something happen ?” Your mother also looks up, perhaps wondering the same. “Uhm.. just had fun during training! That’s all!” You smile and continue to try and perfect the paste you’ve been on for atleast 3 days. “Yes, that was fun wasn’t it?” You think back to it, “You got close to the eldest boy didn’t you? Do you finally think you’ve found a worthy mate?” You stop mixing and look up at your younger sister with shock, looking over to your mother who was already looking at you. “Y/n? What is this?” You glare and Tsireya and put the paste down. “Nothing mother! We just had basic training. Tsireya is just speaking nonsense.” She looks skeptical but nods “They have demon blood. Remember that child.” She looks over at your paste and smiles. “You are done for today. Good job ma Y/n.” Kissing your head she sends you and your sister off, free to do whatever for the rest of the day.
“Tsireya what was that! Mother almost skinned me alive!” She giggles “Calm down! She looks more interested than mad. Maybe she thinks he is a worthy mate for her untouchable daughter despite his demon blood!” You look over at her and sneer. “The Lo’ak boy has demon blood, you seem to have taken a liking to him.” She gets flustered at that “He’s different. I accept him, he’s more than just the “demon” blood in him.” You look over at her with some kind of surprise “wow tsireya, that’s a nice way of looking at it. You really do like that boy.” She groans and tells you to shut up, you just snort and push her away.
Weaving a basket on the shore, you see Neteyam approaching and put it down. Smiling at the boy you invite him to sit next to you. “Ah Neteyam! Hello, is there something you need?” He shakes his head and settles down next to you in the sand. “No, just bored. Everything is new and I’m just not sure of what to do.” You hum at that, thinking of something “I can teach you how to ride an Ilu? If not it is fine, I know it is late and we have many duties tomorrow-“ he cuts you off “I would be honored. Show me the way?” You look at him with surprise and smile. “Yes! Okay, follow me.” You grab his hand. Leading him to the water, after calling your Ilu and another for him, you reach for his kuru and grab hold of the ilus. “Connect it gently, allow her to feel you. Learn you.” Watching you with content he grabs his kuru and goes to connect it. Once she settles you get on yours, smiling to him you gesture for him to follow.
You jump up a wave, landing back into the water, “cmon neteyam! Use the wave!” He looks at you and back at the wave, guiding his Ilu down into the water. You wait eagerly for him to jump out. “Neteyam?..” Then all of a sudden he comes out with a loud splash yelling “Woooooo!! Holy shit!!” He comes crashing down with a big splash, rising back up you hit him on the shoulder playfully “you scare me skxawng!” After a few more of the jumps you reluctantly make your way back to the shore, sitting down on the sand. “Thank you for joining me Neteyam. This was fun.” Looking up you see him already looking at you, smiling. “No, I should be thanking you! That was great!” After awhile you both make your ways back to the village. Bidding goodbyes and heading separate ways to your families homes.
Opening your marui flap you giggle at the sight of Aonung drooling. Sliding onto your mat carefully so you don’t awake your parents, you see Tsireya look at you drowsily but she smiles, knowing where you’ve been. Hushing her back to sleep you turn around, thinking back to the fun you had with the forest boy. you smile at the thought and fall asleep.
Neteyam carefully opens the flap to his families new home, seeing everyone asleep he lets out a quiet sigh of relief, sliding onto his mat carefully just to see his younger brother smirking at him “Hey bro. Back from your date?” He rolls his eyes at Lo’ak. “Shut up skxawng. We were just hanging.” This time Lo’ak rolls his eyes. “Yeah okayy bro.” Neteyam glares at him and flicks his forehead, forcing him back to sleep as he turns around and tries to sleep himself. But can’t help and think about the fun you two had. Flustered he shuts his eyes and falls asleep.
AN: okay so if this does well I can turn it into a series, what do we think? SERIES OR NO SERIES?!?!? I lowkey left it on a cliff hanger so I might HAVE to do a goddamn series.
