Thank you ^_^ <3
being tsireyas older sister!
includes: a backstory (lore), your dynamic, and general headcanons
a/n: anon… i am so sorry this is like embarrassingly late, this has been sitting in my drafts for so long… pls enjoy 🫶🫶
lore
- as a backstory, you were born about 5 years previous to tsireya, also making you order than aonung. u definitely have eldest siblings/older sister syndrome i am sorry 😭 being the oldest one comes with emotional baggage
↳ you are for sure ronal and tonowaris kid, having a perfect mix of their distinct personalities. you have tonowaris kind heart, and the characteristic of ronals fierce protection and loyalty to her family. essentially, you are not one to be reckoned with
↳ as a future tsahik, you are raised with high expectations. there is no excuse for silliness or taking time to act like a fool with your rank, you are the future female clan leader. the weight of the world feels like it’s sinking in on your shoulders, the heaviness only increasing as you get older.
dynamic
omggg you and tsireya are like this 🤞
↳ as soon as she came out of the womb, you have protected her. you promised to be the best sister you could be, and to not let any high expectations or huge burdens fall on her shoulders
↳ she is your sun, and she always keeps you going. if you ever feel sad or down, she is there to cheer you up with just her smile and laugh
↳ tsireya brings a positive impact on your outlook of life, she’s always had that effect on people and it made its way to you as well
↳ she trusts you with any information, you two know each other like the backs of your hand.
↳ the only time you talk back to your parents is when they are being to harsh on her. you know she only does or says things with kindness in her mind and heart, so there is no reason for her to get in trouble
↳ you will gladly take the blame for her anytime something happens
general headcanons
you definitely taught tsireya how to swim, and she picked it up so fast learning from you
^ she used to have a fear of going to the deeper ends of the ocean as a young child due to its darkness, and you always validated and eased her worries
↳ you came up with the nickname “reya” for her, and it’s stuck with her ever since
↳ you protect her from others teasing sometimes, some people take advantage of her kind hearted spirit and it angers you deeply, cause she’s the sweetest girl ever who in their right mind would be mean to her?
↳ you taught her how to not judge others because of what they look like!! this is why she was so welcoming to the sullys and never treated them any differently, other than teaching them the way of water.
^ your parents (especially your mom) had a hard time seeing people for who they were on the inside, so from a young age you taught her the exact opposite (even though a lot of it came naturally to her)
↳ speaking of the sullys, you could tell tsireyas mood shifted as soon as they got here.
↳ “tsireya… you have not been able to keep a straight face ever since they got here. what is going on?”
↳ she blushed, scared that she’s been caught “nothing”
↳ you were taken aback at the fact she was hiding something from you for once, but with a little bit of detective work, you immediately knew it fell at the hands of lo’ak sully.
↳ after the two began dating, you had a not so threatening big sister talk with lo’ak!!! (he is now extremely intimidated by you and will do anything to keep reya happy)
↳ you and reya have girls days all the time, kicking aonung out of your hangouts frequently (not that he cares) both of you go looking for seashells together, and make jewelry for each other as a way to bond.
↳ even though she’s your younger sister, if you are the anxiety prone type, she will always bring you back down to reality using the techniques you once taught her.
↳ all in all, both of you love each other sm and would die for the other. your sisterly bond outstretching beyond all of your other relationships.
the girl’s an absolute sweetheart, so just know she loves and respects you A LOT.
she’s very understanding and knows exactly how to comfort you when you’re in a bad mood.
physical touch is her love language. you could simply be telling her something and she will listen while holding your hand or arm.
she adores it when you give her gifts. even something as simple as a flower could make her giddy and blush uncontrollably.
praises you a lot, even for the little things you do.
she gives the best hugs!! and loves cuddling with you. honestly, I feel like she prefers to be the big spoon while cuddling.
swimming dates and strolls along the shore are your guy's thing.
she hardly gets jealous, she trusts you and knows for a fact that you won't cheat on her. I mean have you seen her?
she speaks positively about you to her loved ones, including her soul sister tulkun, as well as to her friends and family.
dating tsireya and spending time with her means being close to her family or at the very least getting on their good side to the extent that they like you because they mean the absolute world to her. especially her brother, ao’nung.
overall she is very gentle and treats you very well.
Note: I'm in love w Tsireya nobody touch me. Likes, reblogs, and feedbacks are appreciated! Let me know what you think and let me know if you want to be tagged in part three!
Of course, you swam before in the forest, but for only a limited time. But here? It’s what they do, its how they live.
You weren’t sure if you could even hold your breath longer underwater. So when your siblings finally called for you, your breath almost hitched.
Walking with them towards the platform where Tsireya and the same two who noticed you, Ao’nung and Rotxo were standing, you inhaled a sharp breath as they saw you again. “Hey, it’s you.” Rotxo said. “Oh, she’s here.” Ao’nung said in amusement.
“Yeah, I’m here.” You spoke. Rotxo gave you a look of acknowledgement, having stopped the teasing. For Ao’nung however, he was still cautious of all of you.
“Are you guys ready?” Tsireya asked everyone.
You inhaled, giving a nod as your siblings did too.
“Follow us!” Tsireya smiles before diving off the edge of the platform, followed by Rotxo and Ao’nung.
“Last one to enter the water is a skxawng!” Lo’ak challenged, running and jumping in with Neteyam.
“No way!” You followed, running and jumping off the edge and into the water, followed by Kiri and Tuk.
Once your eyes adjusted underwater, it was the most incredible thing you ever saw. You swam forward, eyes following the fish that swam around you. You then spot the three under, Tsireya swimming backwards, looking at all of you.
You pointed towards them as your siblings followed you. You swam and swam, your muscles started to ache and you knew you were already losing air.
Lo’ak could notice as he gives you a tap on your back, making you look at him as he points upwards.
The four of you reach the surface, gasping and breathing for air as you bobbed up and down in the ocean, your arms swaying to keep yourself afloat. Looking back down, you see Tsireya doing something with her hands, making you tilt your head.
Then she smiles, doing a ‘Come here’ motion with her hand and you understood.
You dove back down again, reaching a much deeper foot. You couldn’t help but let your eyes watch over her form as she gracefully moved underwater, her body swaying as she propelled forward, her hair flowing.
You were stuck looking at her when your brothers once again motioned to come up for air.
‘What’s wrong with them?’ Ao’nung signed underwater to Rotxo.
‘They’re bad divers’ Rotxo replied, signing.
‘Stop’ Tsireya intervened. ‘They’re leaning’
Once they appeared above water, Tsireya’s eyes immediately lock on yours. “Are you alright?” Her gaze lasted on you for a few seconds before switching to the others. “You’re too fast! Wait for us!” Tuk said, wiping her eye.
“Just breathe… breathe.”
You took her command as you inhaled through your nose and exhaled deeply out your mouth. “You’re not good divers, maybe good at swimming through tress—”
Tsireya gives Ao’nung a good smack on the head, making you laugh slightly as her brother’s expression changed.
“What were you doing earlier? I couldn’t understand what you were saying.” You asked Tsireya.
“Yeah, we don’t speak that finger talk you guys are doing.” Neteyam followed. Tsireya looked at you again, her eyes blinking “I will teach you.”
“Wait, where’s Kiri?” Rotxo asked from beside you.
“Who?” Ao’nung said, brows furrowing at his friend.
“Kiri.” Rotxo repeated. You looked around for your sister, she was no where to be found. “Did you see her?” Tsireya’s voice asked.
“No, where could she be?” You asked your siblings.
After finding Kiri and her nearly giving you a death-scare, you all were done for today.
The rest of your siblings walked back to the shore as you found yourself walking a lot slower than to keep up with them. Rotxo and Ao’nung had just left, laughing to themselves as they walked to the other side of the village.
You fixed your hair, wringing out the water, sighing.
“You are… I have not learned your name.” A voice spoke out behind you, making you turn your head.
Tsireya.
You look at her for another second before shaking your head and responding. “(Y/N).” You respond, offering your hand.
Tsireya, again, tilts her head at your motion, looking at your hand then back at you. When realization had set, your eyes widened. Retracting your hand into a fist, and bringing it close towards you, you swore, making yourself look stupid again. “Ah, shit- sorry I- that’s just how I introduce myself… I forget you guys don’t do that…” You said the last part in a mumble, looking everywhere again but her. You absolutely sucked at this.
“No, no. It is okay, how do you do it?” She asked.
Wait, wasn’t she just going to brush it off? You guessed not.
Smiling sheepishly, you gave your hand again. “It’s like this,” Tsireya followed, reaching her hand out, “Well- actually you use the opposite hand.” You shyly corrected her as she lets out an ‘Oh!’
“Then what do we do?” She asked. You couldn’t absolutely believed you were teaching the chief’s daughter on how to shake hands right now.
“If I may?” You ask, looking straight up at her. She nods, yet she was entranced by the glint in your eyes, the sun hit your eye perfectly, almost looking like you had gold in your eyes. However, your other eye was just as blue as the ocean, striking, like a strong wave about to swallow one whole. She was curious, it was getting the best of her. And the way you kept eye contact with her sent tingles running down her spine.
“It goes like this,” You say, inching your hand towards her much bigger one as you tried fitting your hand to hers. Tsireya observed the difference. Your hands were too little, yet she watched earlier how you were able to swim quicker than your brothers. “Uhm- since my hand can’t exactly fit-“ You shyly chuckle, trying to grasp her hand, which now you realized, felt soft and light, and certainly felt cool.
“We take each other’s hand and shake.” You say, holding her hand and slowly shaking it up and down. You then feel Tsireya follow as her hands held yours gently, as if any tighter that the bones in your hand would break, to be honest, it probably would.
“And we introduce ourselves like this,” You smile “It’s nice to meet you, I’m (Y/N).”
Tsireya makes an ‘o’ with her mouth and her eyes, almost, happy that she’s learned something new from you. “It is nice to meet you, I am Tsireya.” She copied, your hands still shaking one another which was sending warmth throughout your body.
“Yes! That’s good, perfect, even.” Your sheepish smile returned, politely breaking the handshake off.
Tsireya then clapped her hands together, smiling widely. “That is great!”
“Yeah, it is, so now we finally know each other.” You say to her, looking up.
“It excites me to know more about you!” Tsireya added out of excitement, but she tones it down, clasping her hands together.
Your jaw hanged lose as your mouth was parted before you smile and nod. “I can’t wait to learn more about you guys too.” You said, subtly making so that you were excited to learn the following lessons, but you were more excited with the fact that she didn’t shove you away like she’s learned with the Sky People, no.
She sought past the tales she’s heard from her parents and the villagers; you were different, she felt and knew that. It didn’t scare her interacting with you, she had hoped that all Sky People may not be as dangerous and destructive as Pandora knew, even Jake, your father was once one of the Sky People and here he is now.
She could sense the determination and gentleness of your heart, you meant no harm, she believed. So, once she shook your hand and felt a certain tingle, she knew you were innocent.

The following day.
You were back in the ocean, standing, waiting for something as Ao’nung called for something. Neteyam was carrying Tuk while you and Lo’ak were goofing off again.
“These are Ilu. If you want to live here,” Ao’nung explains “You have to ride.”
You srunched your nose. So much for that. “Yeah, I think I’d sit this one out.”
“Sis, c’mon.” Lo’ak said, looking at you. “Dude, trust me, go for it.” You encouraged your brother. Anyway, you can’t even bond with any creature here on Pandora as much as you’d like to. A painful reminder that what ever you did, you were still human.
So, you watched, still in the water with Tuk as Tsireya guided Lo’ak, while Neteyam was with Ao’nung. “Make the bond gently.” Tsireya commands Lo’ak, he did as what he is told, forming tsaheylu with the ilu.
You watched as the creature squirmed before calming down. “Look at his legs.” The other commented.
“Hold here.” Tsireya guided him.
“Hold on.” The other said.
You watched as your brother took off, you were almost believing in him until you saw him tumble off the creature, making you all laugh.
“Everything all right, forest boy?” One teased.
The lesson kept going and Tuk even got her own little ilu to ride, Neteyam got the hang of it pretty easily as he was now gliding around you with a confident look on his face.
You stayed watching from the sidelines, smiling. Even though you wanted to feel what it felt like, bonding with the various creatures here on Pandora, you could only dream.
“Look, she can’t even do anything.” You then heard their voices again, Ao’nung and his gang.
“That’s because she’s human, what is she even doing here in Pandora? And her eyes are weird.”
“She’s a freak, I bet.”
You tried your best to act like their words weren’t affecting you, trying to swallow down the lump in your throat. So much for feeling welcomed.
Once they focused laughing on Lo’ak once again falling off, you started walking where your feet took you.
“(Y/N)?” You hadn’t realized you were hugging your arms, in a form of keeping yourself together, so you look and spot Tsireya, on her own ilu, you assumed.
“Tsireya, hey… shouldn’t you be with them? Look, Lo’ak’s ilu seems to be getting annoyed at him already.” You say which made the two of you laugh.
“I should, but you are also my student, are you not?” She asked you.
You froze for a moment.
“Yeah… but I kinda don’t have the… requirements for it?” You say, motioning to her bond with the ilu.
Tsireya shakes her head with a ‘tsk’ before opening her mouth. “Doesn’t mean you can’t be a part of it too.” You felt like a plan was already in her head the moment she offered her hand. “Come, I’ll let you ride with me.”
Was- was she serious?!
With your mouth agape, you stare at her in disbelief. “No way, are you- really?”
She laughs at your disbelief, nodding multiple times. “Yes, yes really, (Y/N).”
The way her name rolled off your tongue sounded so heavenly; how could you refuse?
Taking her huge hand, she carefully guides you to sit on the back, the ilu squeaking happily, making your lips curl into a smile, heart warming at the thought of the ilu comfortable with you.
Once you were positioned, Tsireya turns half her body to look at you. “Are you all right?”
You, not knowing where to put your hands, nodded unsurely. “I think I’m good…”
Tsireya senses your doubt before she grabs your hand, placing your arm around her waist, your hand resting on her stomach sending you bouts of electricity through your nerves at how close you two were. “You can hold here, okay?”
Hadn’t had the time to gather courage to reply, you nod.
“Why are you…pink? Do you feel unwell?” Tsireya noticed, although maybe she was just that focused on you.
“Oh no, I’m fine, really.” You reassured her.
“Okay, let’s go? Remember to hold your breath.” Tsireya reminded.
“Yup, noted ma’am.” You absentmindedly reply, making Tsireya giggle that you could almost feel the vibrations on her back from how close you were.
Then you two started moving, being nervous, you suddenly tightened your grip around Tsireya’s waist. Tsireya could feel it and it made her giddy.
You held onto her as the ilu went for a dive, and it started moving faster. You could see other fish duck out of the way as you moved through, the whole ride making you happy. You figured, is this what it felt like for the rest of your siblings? In that moment you felt like you were free, gliding through the ocean.
Then you suddenly come up, to the surface, you breathe out as you blinked.
“That was- wow that was fun Tsireya!” You said, giving her a toothy grin. Tsireya smiles with you, her hand reaching to touch yours that was still on her waist. “I told you (Y/N).”
She did. The feeling of her hand on yours was enough to make your heart race again. What were you feeling? Why were you acting like this around her? You wanted to give yourself a smack on the head.
While you and Tsireya were having fun on her ilu, the rest of your siblings plus the others watched on theirs.
“Bro, look.” Neteyam said, tapping Lo’ak on the chest and pointing at the two of you.
Lo’ak spots you enjoying, and he couldn’t be happier for you, in a way, you were also able to experience what they did. But this time, they could already tell that you, their sister, had already grown a crush.
But for Ao’nung and his gang, he wasn’t having it as he stared daggers at your back. There is no way he’d let his sister be with someone, let alone one of the Sky People!
When the day had ended, you felt like you’ve grown closer with Tsireya than before, sharing what it was like to live in the other’s world.
“Your world’s more pleasant though, even if I hadn’t been to earth and basically grew up here.”
Tsireya nods, looking at you as you pat her ilu who nudged its head against yours. It was funny, the ilu was much larger than you yet it fell to your touch. “I am very glad you like it here.” Tsireya smiles.
“Definitely.” You say.
“But do you ever miss the forest?” Tsireya suddenly asked. Your face dropped suddenl before switching to its neutral expression.
She felt like that question crossed the line as your face dropped. She frowned, already feeling guilty that she had once reminded you of your own home. She reached out, placing a hand on your shoulder. “I’m sorry, I should not have asked.”
You look up at her, giving a pursed smile. “It’s fine, but yes, I do miss it… kinda miss jumping over vines and branches-“ You joked in hopes of making her also feel better. “But you know? It’s fun here, you know why? Because you’re the first person here to ever look at me like I’m just- a person. Not a demon or a freak due to my eyes…”
Tsireya pouted again, rubbing your shoulder in comfort. “You are not like what they say Sky People are, you are different.”
You smile at her, not having realized the ilu has left and that it was the two of you standing in the ocean.
content warning: time-skip tsireya, tsi is sad at one point :( but dw it ends happy, fluff
synopsis: you ask your best friend tsireya what she thinks the best way to woo someone is. believing you have feelings for someone else, she is hurt. because she has had feelings for you for a long time. nevertheless, she wants you to be happy, so she gives you the best advice she can, only to be very surprised.
ever since you were young, you and tsireya had been close. you’re honestly not sure when or how you became friends because you were so little. and you can’t remember a time when she wasn’t your closest friend and most trusted confidant. there was nothing you couldn’t tell her. which was why this was so frustrating.
unlike the memory of how you became friends, you can remember the exact moment you realized you were in love with tsireya. the two of you were twelve, helping teach the younger children diving lessons. you were surrounded by colorful fish and vibrant plants, keeping an eye on the children to make sure they weren’t staying under for too long, then you turned. she was not far from you, smiling brightly at the children she was supervising. her hair somewhat floated around her, the glow of the sun shining through the water to highlight every minuscule detail of her being. it was something so ordinary. so common of your people. but she looked so breathtaking. and when she locked eyes with you, smiled even wider, and waved, you felt it. you physically felt the warmth of your complete and utter infatuation with her seeping out of your heart and spreading to every nerve, muscle, and bone.
you had been trying to sort your feelings out for years. years. but you had no one in your life you could trust with this information. except for her. which is so excruciatingly frustrating. the person you go to for everything being the one person you can’t go to when you need it the most. it kept you up at night. trying to navigate your feelings, debating on whether or not confessing was worth the potential strain in your friendship, attempting to read her actions to see if she might feel the same. you were careful about it, you had to be. she knew every mannerism every habit every inch of your being. if you acted suspicious, she would know. but after seven years of harboring this love for her, you have finally decided that you would confess. you knew that even if she didn’t reciprocate, she wouldn’t cease being friends with you. she was too sweet for that. but you needed to get it out of your system so you can move on if she doesn’t.
the only issue is how? how do you confess to someone as amazing as her? and you run into the same problem you always run into. the only person you want to ask is her. after yet another night of lost sleep you realize, you don’t have to tell her who it’s for! yes! it’s brilliant! you can get the perfect plan all while keeping it a secret! and if she asked who it’s for, you’ll just tell her you’ll let her know after you confess. it’s fool proof.
“yes. remember to breathe with your stomach, not your chest,” you hear her before you see her.
sitting cross-legged on a rock, leading some children in breathing exercises. you smile at the proud look on her face when they begin to do it correctly. “yes! that is it! you are all doing so well. you are dismissed for today, but please remember to practice, yes?” the children voice there agreement before running past you to go play.
tsireya spots you when she turns her head to watch them run off. beaming, she softly pats the spot next to her in invitation. settling down in your place, you try to swallow the nerves building up in your throat.
after examining you for a moment, she asks, “what is the matter?” she asks you.
you laugh, “nothing gets past you does it?”
she giggles with you, “unfortunately for you, it does not.” she scoots closer, and places a hand on your knee. silently encouraging you to speak your mind, but remaining silent to remind you that you don’t have to unless you want to.
“i wanted to ask you about something,” you begin hesitantly. offering a hum in response, her thumb begins to subconsciously rub your knee. “what do you think the best way to confess your feelings to someone is?”
her thumb stops, eyes growing wide as she quickly turns her head to make eye contact with you, “what?”
you don’t pick up on her reaction, too busy trying to seem calm, “you know like, take them to a secluded spot, give them flowers, what do you think is the best way to woo them?” giving her a small smile, you finally take in her reaction, and worry floods through your veins, “are you alright?”
she’s quick to blink the shock off of her face, retracting her hand from your knee. “yes of course! i was just surprised. you have not mentioned any…feelings about anyone to me, so it caught me off guard. that’s all.” her explanation was quick, rushed, and though you still have a nagging feeling in your gut, you push past it.
her voice wavers slightly as she asks, “who is it?”
ahh. the question you spent hours preparing to answer. calm, cool, collected, you repeat in your head.
“i will tell you after i confess,” you give her a teasing look. relieved your faux confidence appears to work as she smiles and nods at your response. you don’t pick up how it doesn’t reach her eyes.
meanwhile millions of thoughts swirled through tsireyas head. who was it you were courting? was it the boy who helped you prepare lunch the other day? the girl who you gave you that pretty shell last week? who? who? who? her eyes shift away from you as she thinks. trying not to let her expression give her away. she’s been in love with you for as long as she could remember. sure she hadn’t confessed, but she thought she had time. you have never spoken of feelings for anyone. never. not once in the entire course of your friendship. and the fear that she may lose you if you don’t reciprocate was more than enough to make her clam up every time she tried to voice her feelings. but, when she forced herself to face it, who is she to stand in the way of your happiness because of feelings she’s never voiced? she decides that even if it’s not with her, she wants you to be happy. so she trys to think of the best way one could profess their love.
clearing her throat, tsireya turns to you, “well, i think that confessing at night would be romantic. the bioluminescence would be beautiful and there wouldn’t be too many people around.”
you nod, taking in her every word, “do you think i should bring anything? like a gift?”
she swallows the lump in her throat, “that sounds like a good idea. just make sure it is personal.” she takes a deep breath, “be sure to tell them about the things they do that you love, be honest and open, and express what you feel for them in the best way you can. it will come across better that way.”
a harsh ache spreads from her heart to the rest of her body at the exited grin you offer her. she tries to match it, but she knows she can’t. you squeeze her in a tight hug that she returns.
“thank you reya, i will get you later!” you give her one more bright smile before scurrying off to prepare.
the forced smile slides off her face and she quickly turns her face toward the sea so no one will see the tears gathering in her eyes. nor the few that slip down her cheeks. she stares out at the horizon, watching the sky change as it prepares for eclipse. the tightness in her chest won’t go away, and she doesn’t know how she will be able to face you and your partner if they accept your confession. but she will try to be happy for you, no matter how much it hurts.
you hide the bouquet of tsireyas favorite flowers behind a nearby rock as you wait for her to meet you. the bioluminescent glow of pinks, purples, and blues complimenting each-other beautifully. it’s well past eclipse, they sky fully dark, ensuring all the plants and animals are bathing their surroundings in their soft light. the spot you chose is a good walk away from the village. a small area of rocks creating tide pools filled with flora and fauna. a spot the two of you discovered in your early teen years when you were out later than you should have been. it’s a place special to both of you. you grin in anticipation, hoping that she will return your feelings. she should be here any minute.
tsireya wipes her eyes as she slowly makes her way to your spot. trying to remove all traces of her sadness and heartache from her face before she meets you. repeating a mantra in her head as she approaches, be happy for her be happy for her be happy be happy be happy.
she spots you before you spot her, the ache in her chest only increasing as she looks at the beautiful glowing freckles that line your skin. freckles she has spent countless hours tracing, freckles that someone else will get to make constellations out of now. she tries to choke down her feelings, forcing a smile as she finally reaches you.
“hello dearest,” will she still be able to call you that after tonight?
your eyes meet hers, “hi tsi!”
you look happy. she hates that she wishes you didn’t.
her eyes widen as you grab her hand and pull her to the edge of the tide pools. you turn so that you are facing her, still holding her hand. “could you close your eyes for me? please?”
a bit confused, she nods and does as told. without dropping her hand, you turn and grab the neatly tied bouquet from behind the rock, “do not open them until i say.”
you take the hand holding hers and move it to hold the bundle of stems, quickly grabbing the other and making it do the same. you then place your own hands on top of hers, your palms to the backs of her fingers.
after swallowing harshly, you whisper, “you may open your eyes.”
the glow of the flowers reflects in her teal blue eyes, which have widened in surprise. her lips part as if she is going to speak, but no sound comes out. you take that as your cue to begin.
“you are the most incredible being i have ever met. you are the kindest, most considerate, most caring, and most intelligent person i have had the pleasure of knowing. you approach every situation with an open mind, ready to hear every side of the story. you are so gentle and nurturing when teaching. you are everything and anything i have ever needed you to be, and for that i can never thank you enough,” you move one of your hands to cup her cheek and draw her sight up to your face. looking directly in her eyes, you continue, “tsireya, you are my warmth, my light, and my love. i would be honored if you accept my feelings and allow me to be your mate, but if you do not feel the same, i would be more than happy remaining your friend-“
she cuts you off, dropping the bouquet to wrap her arms around your neck and pull you in for a kiss. you let out a sigh, finally feeling like you can breathe. moving the hand on her face to cup the side of her neck, and winding your free hand around her waist to pull her closer. your mouths move against each-other perfectly, just like the two of you in every other aspect of life. pulling away for air, she continues to pepper pecks all over your face and neck. giggling, you pull her head away to look at her face.
but your smile dims at the tears falling from her eyes. she notices your change in expression instantly, and jumps to explain, “i am happy! these are not sad tears i promise you,” she keeps arm wrapped around your neck, the other hand moving to cup your own that rests on her cheek. leaning into your touch she continues, “i thought you were courting someone else, but i did not want to get in the way of your happiness so i gave you the best advice i could think of, but i had been so sad since,” you furrow your brows in guilt, upsetting her was never your intention. before you can apologize she continues her rambling, “i do not blame you, you were trying to keep it a surprise. but i am so relieved that you return my feelings, and my emotions decided to come out differently than i wanted them to.” she giggles.
“i am sorry tsi. i did not mean to make you upset. i should have just told you earlier,” you move your free hand to her other cheek to wipe her tears.
“no, i loved this. it was special. and the flowers-“ her eyes widen and she immediately bends to pick up the bouquet she dropped, “oh thank goodness, they are alright.” she looks back at you after dusting them off, “they are beautiful. thank you.”
after placing a peck on her nose and forehead, you rest your forehead against hers, “i see you my love.”
language: Syulang- flower, Kalweyaveng- son of a bitch, Oel ngati kameie- i see you
description: Tsireya, a girl you have loved before you even knew what the word meant. A girl that made you feel ugly emotions you did not know were possible. The girl you would connect to by a small little seashells.
The first time you saw Tsireya you did not know why you were so drawn to her. A little voice screaming in your head to be her friend. She seemed like an angel in your small eyes, the most beautiful girl you had ever seen, and you just couldn’t tear your gaze away. Completely tuning out your breathing instructor it was as if she had put you in a magical trance. “Y/n stop gawking at Tsireya and please pay attention. This lesson is very important!” Snapping her finger in front of your dazed face your teacher wore a stern expression. Obviously unamused with your new found interest in the small girl. A series of giggles echoed through the small group of children at her public scolding. Embarrassed, you casted your eyes to the floor a dark purple hue rising to your face. You did not miss the way Tsireya giggled with the rest, her voice seeming to stand out to your ears, only deepening your flustered state. It was the first time in your whole 5 years of life you felt truly flustered, a feeling you would get use to as you spent more time around Tsireya.
Thankfully, your teacher was quick to shush the children’s giggles saving you from farther humiliation. “There is no reason to laugh, now let’s wrap up this lesson.” Voice soft yet commanding all the children listened to the older na’vi. Big eyes all zoned in on her as she pressed her hands to her stomach explaining how to breathe from your belly. While you could not help but steal a few glances at the girl across the circle from you. Her big blue eyes seeming to hold the stars as she payed all her attention to her instructor. The class seemed to end too soon as your teacher dismissed you all. The girl you now knew as Tsireya rising to her feet. You did not expect her small body to walk over to you, eyes widening in shock. “Im Tsireya. You kept looking at me does that mean you wanna be my friend?”
“O-of course!” Tone radiating happiness you quickly rose to your feet. The girl was obviously a bit younger than you as you straightened yourself out standing a few inches over her. “I’m y/n” Smiling Tsireya giggled at your excitement seeing your emotions so obviously on display. “Wanna collect seashells with me?” Small hand outstretched you invited her to take yours. Excitedly nodding her head Tsireya placed her hands in yours. A joy like no other filling your body as you guided her to your favorite spot. Allowing the waves to lap over you feet as the two of you search the sand for a hidden gem. Creating a memory you would never forget. The moment that bonded you and Tsireya together.
Now in your late teenage years the two of you still shared the same habit. Tsireya had just finished her training of the day running to your form as you waited for her on the beach. “Y/n!” Ears perking up at the familiar voice you turned your head. As expected Tsireya wore a bright smile as she prance towards you . “I finished this last night wanted you to have it.” Voice soft the girl attempted to catch her breath, words coming out in a jumble. “You have always been a master weaver.” Accepting her gift you slid on her small bracelet. Seashells the two of you had found carefully placed in between the strands of fabric. Tsireyas big eyes watching your every move waiting for your reaction, comfortable placing herself next to you. Holding her gift up to the sun the seashells seemed to sparkle, a soft smile gracing your lips. Butterflies invading your stomach as you brain could not help but imagine this as a courting gift. “Is it to your liking?” Gaze shifting to the girl who still rested a few inches below you a warm feeling filled your stomach as you met her glimmering eyes.
“Of course syulang, I love it.” Shying away from your gaze her small hand came to her lips. A futile attempt to cover her smile. “Now come we must add to your collection.” Boldly taking her hands in your you guided her to the shore of the ocean just as you did many times. Tsireya, allowing you to drag her along as butterflies erupted in her stomach. Eventually Tsireya ventured on her own picking up the seashell she deemed the prettiest. A soft smile covering your face as you ‘looked’ with her, while in reality you spent most of the your time looking at her. “Ah! Look at this one!” Voice shrill Tsireyas voice seemed to raise a couple octaves as she rushed towards you. Smiling from ear to ear she presented a seashell morphed and smoothed into a heart shape by the ocean waves. “Look how it shines!” Giggling she help it up to the sun and it did in fact shine with the sun rays. A beautiful color that almost mirrored the shade of her baby blue eyes. “It’s a wonderful color, might just be my favorite shade of blue.”
“Really?” Cocking her head to the side Tsireys seemed to examine the seashell more. “I will make you more jewelry in this shade!” Proudly announcing her will it was as if a tiny light bulb had gone off in her head. “When I think about it I have not known your updated favorite color for a while now. What shade do you like syulang?” Turning to face you Tsireya lifted her head slightly. Her brows scrunched together as she thought, a habit she had kept ever since her toddler days. Suddenly bringing her hand to your face her thumb traced just below your eyes. Shocked, your pupils dilated slightly as the place she touched began to burn. Although, she had touched you thousands of times before it still sent fire racing through your skin. A fear rising in you that she would hear your heart thumping against your chest as you met her puppy dog eyes. “I think it might be your eyes, Eywa blessed you with a beautiful color.” Parting your lips you attempted to say something but to no avail. It was as if she had knocked the words out of you as you felt the temperature in your face begin to rise.
Seeming to notice this a smile made its way onto Tsireyas lips. Her touched slowly sliding down your face to your neck as she admired the markings adoring your body. “I will see you tomorrow? I must be getting back now. I have an important dinner to attend.” You did not miss the way her face slightly dropped at the mention of the dinner. You felt a pity for her knowing the stories of how incredible boring they were. “Of course, same spot as always.” Patting her head you ushered her off, not wanting the young girl to get in trouble because of you. Watching her form prance away you could not help but relish the heat of her lingering touch. Smacking your cheek you attempted to rid yourself of your emotions. “She is the cheifs daughter it will never work.” Muttering words you had said a million times. Words that had suppressed your growing emotions for years.
Sitting on the beach you gazed at the ocean. Finding peace in how the sand welcomed your form and the waves lapped against the shore. It was a beautiful day for taking a simple stroll on the beach. The sun was radiant yet not too hot resting calmly against your turquoise skin. A sigh breached your lips as you doodled in the sand an impatience growing within you every passing secant. You had secured a stone you deemed close enough to your eye color hoping to gift it to Tsireya. You had spent most of your morning crafting it into a similar heat shape as the one she found the other day. Using your weaving skills make it the center of a new top you had been crafting for the girl. Position the stone just right so it would rest upon her heart, a place you yearned to be.
Hours seemed to pass as you began to doze off head dipping from exhaustion. Your body seeming to flinch back awake every other minute. Finally having enough of waiting you rose to your feet a slight fear entering you. Tsireya had never stood you up. The girl Always telling you if she could not make it or at least stopping by for a few minutes before reporting back to her duties. Hopping to your feet your legs carried you in a hurry back to the village. Eyes scanning every na’vi passing you in hope one would be her. Almost near the end of your search a familiar giggle filled your ears. Body whipping around you felt you muscles visibly relax when you eyes set on her. Tsireya’s usual smile decoration her face.
“Reya-“ Cutting yourself off mid sentence you bit your tongue as another na’vi entered your view. You felt your stomach twist with a disgusting jealousy as you watched her interact with the male you knew as Ateo. Knowing by the look of desire swirling in his eyes that this was no platonic interaction. Eyes shifting back to the smaller female an anger seemed to mix in with your ugly emotions. Body moving as if you were possessed. “Oh! Y/n!” Noticing your presence Tsireya turned herself towards you. Noticing your mood a confused expression covered her face not sure why you seemed so upset. “Is there something wro-“
“You ditched me for this Kalweyaveng!” Voice dipping with venom you glared at the na’vi to her left. Fury dancing in your eyes. “Who do you think you’re talking too?” Eyes narrowing Ateos glare rested apon you. His tail whipping in aggression. “Wait, wait let’s all calm down.” Attempting to mediate the situation Tsireyas voice fell to death ears as Ateo took aggressive steps towards you. The male had always been arrogant and short tempered. Ateo stood slightly taller than you and seemed to be trying to use that as intimidation. You wanted to scoff at his pathetic attempt to make you cower. Bearing your teeth to Ateo you proved he did nothing to you. “You mad I stole your bitch?” Taunting words left the males lips and it made you want to rip his juggler out then and there. “Have some respect before I make you.” Hands shoving his chest you pushed the na’vi back slightly. Waiting for his short fuse to break.
“I said calm down!” Tone sharp and loud Tsireays voice drew the both of your eyes away from the other. An instant regret crashing over you as you saw her glossy eyes glaring at you both. “You are acting like children get a grip! And to call me by such a name Ateo?” Body shaking in anger the offense was evident in her voice. Body frozen you waited for the next words to leave her mouth but they never did. Seeming to stop herself from speaking Tsireya turned the other way her overwhelming emotions evident in her body language. “Dickhead.” Muttering the insult you quickly followed after Tsireya unraveling her top from your small bag. You did not worry about knowing the destination. Already knowing where Tsireya was headed. Knowing the female since childhood came with its perks.
Dragging your feet in the sand you purposely took a little longer to get to the spot on the beach. Wanting to leave time for Tsireya to calm down. Eventually, her form came into view as you quietly approached her, placing your body in the sand. Although she did not meet your gaze you knew she was aware of your presence as her ears twitching with each movement you made. “Hey syulang” Voice soft you allowed your hand to rest on her back, your finger trailing small circles on her skin. You felt her inhale deeply before meeting your gaze. “I am sorry.” Voice soft a pout rested upon Tsireyas face. “I did not mean to stand you up. It’s just my parents announced him as a potential mate and insisted I spent some time with him. I could not find the time to tell you.” Hearing her explanation it was like a knife to the heart. Shame washing over you in waves as you cursed your jealously fueled actions. Heart banging with regret and sadness at the mention of her mating.
“I am not mad. My reaction was very….. over the top. I am sorry.” Giggling slightly Tsireya seemed to recall the recent memory. “You looked like you were about to rip his head off! But, you did save me from having a horribly disrespectful and hot headed mate so I can not be mad.” Smiling slightly you felt relief wash over you as Tsireya seemed to accept your apology. Her normal cheerful mood returning. “I could never stay mad at you y/n. But why did you get so angry? Were you jealous?” Voice having a teasing tone to his Tsireya skillfully pried. Not wanting to let her true emotions out before she knew yours. Cheeks tenting at her suggestion you could not hold her gaze. Eyes casted out at the ocean. “I need to practice keeping my emotions in check.” Sighing at your answer a frown crossed Tsireyas face. She was tired of your indirect answers, she simply wanted to know what was going on in your head. “What is wrong syulang?”
“Nothing, I just need to find more suitors. I am of mating age after all.” Covering up her feelings she lied. Watching closely as you seemed to cringe at her words ears downturned. “I can make better things than any other suitor could.” Handing her the top you made Tsireyas eyes seems to sparkle. A shy smile making its way onto her face as her hands ran over the fabric. Tuning to dig into her pouch a confused look covered your face as you watched her rummage. Taking out a necklace with the seashell that matched hers but sewn into a dangly piece of jewelry. “We can match now!” Handing you the necklace with the seashell resembling her eyes you could not help the hue casting over your cheeks. “Tsireya we can not, only mates or family match.” Attempting to move the necklace back into their hands she resisted a stubbornly.
“Do you not wish to?” Eyes hurt she flashed her puppy dog look. The frown she wore minutes ago now placed upon her face again. Not being able to resist her beautiful eyes you placed the necklace on with a sigh. Thoughts spiraling in your head as Tsireya eyes lit up at the action. Turning her body around she began to undo her top. Air catching in your throat your eyes watched the fabric fall. Her slim back on full display. Her bare skin soon covered by the top you crafted, as she skillfully tied it around her neck. “Now we are matching!” Voice cheerful Tsireya launched herself onto you. Her body resting comfortable on your legs as she hugged you close. Heart beating rapidly against your chest you placed your arms around her. The warmth of her body seeming to burn as you temperature rose. “Tsireya-“
“I am not 5 y/n I know what the clan will think if they see us.” Leaning back Tsireya met your gaze. Her arms still around your neck and body comfortable seated on yours. There was no doubt your cheeks were every shade of purple as your eyes widened. Trying to wrap the meaning of her words around you brain. “Then I will court you.” Statement clear you looked into her ocean eyes. Searching for a reaction that was soon to come. A joyful screech left Tsireyas lips as she brung her body back to yours. Pressing herself impossibility close as your heart leaped in joy.
“Oel ngati kameie y/n”
“Oel ngati kameie, tsireya.”
Words of affection whispered you did not let Tsireya leave your hold. Eclipse settling in as the two of you cuddled in the sand. Your head on Tsireyas chest as the two of you looked up into the sky. Your matching seashell glowing with your bioluminescence freckles as they connected. The two hearts seeming to have once been one of the same shell. Reunited by two painfully oblivious na’vi finally making a move.
a/n: I hope you like my first Tsireya fic! I can not get enough of the Metkayina siblings. 🤭
🔞hear me out,, telling tsireya to drink more water not knowing its your goal to make her squirt many times 😈
⛔️minors DNI⛔️
“Here Reya” you say. Handing her a large jug of water. She looks at you confused, only having just drank a massive pitcher that you gave her previously.
“What’s this for?” She asks. Taking it with both hands. You say nothing. Placing two fingers under the jug and forcing it to her lips. The juices from the fruit you were eating running down your chin and your chest. She gulps it as you continue to push it towards her mouth, making sure she sips every last drop.
“To keep you hydrated ya know?” Little did she know it would be so that when you fuck her senseless, her slick sprays out completely out of her control. You did this often. Feeding her massive amounts of water so she’s wet for you whenever you want her to be. You can’t help but feel that you’ve corrupted her innocence - because every time - she has no clue why you do so. It’s just a mere thought that you just care for her hydration.
She tips the jug back completely, coming up for air after the last drop. Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand as she brings her head down to look at you. Those puppy dog eyes melting you where you sat.
“You’re so fucking beautiful” you coo. Leaning in to plant a wet slopping kiss on her lips. She moans against you, snaking her dainty hands around your neck and pulling you into her.
“Am I being a good girl” she asks. Batting those thick lashes at you. Biting her lip with seduction, she was a pro at melting you. Having her way with you even if you thought it was the other way around. You kiss her once more before pulling away.
“Always such a good girl for me” you moan, crashing your lips into hers one last time. Before leaning her back and placing her down on the soft sand beneath you.
hot air blows in your direction, warming your cheeks as you brush kiris hair. hearing a wince as you brush over a knot, she slaps your hand, annoyed.
“hey, stop being a baby. your hair is a mess, looks like tuk when she wakes up.” you say, laughing at your own pitiful joke.
“leave tuk alone! as if you didn’t spend hours on your hair, just so tsireya could compliment you.” you gasp, pushing her shoulder playfully as she sticks her tongue out at you.
“i did not! stop lying to yourself-” your words get cut off as horns begin to play, startling both you and kiri.
leaving the hut, kiri grabs your wrist as she sees the metkayina people entering the water. feeling a poke at your side, your sister points to the one girl you were crazy about, tsireya. back home, the thought of finding a mate never appealed to you. the idea of being with someone from your village disturbed you, until you realized it wasn’t them. it was you. you wanted a woman. tsireya made you feel different, made you feel like yourself. not wanting to ruin the friendship, you vowed to never say anything about crushing on her, especially to kiri.
running towards the water, kiri shouts at you to slow down, eventually finding lo’ak.
“everybody, our brothers and sisters have returned!” tsireya shouts, swimming towards the group of tulkun. seeing your presence, she waves at you, calling you to join her and her ilu.
“y/n, come on! i have show you the tulkan.” her hands grab yours, putting them around her waist, securing you to her.
as her ilu dives into the water, you hold your breath, praying to eywa you wouldn’t have to come up for air. your eyes begin to widen as you see the tulkun, mesmerized by the way they flow themselves through the water. feeling a tap on your hand, tsireya heads towards a specific tulkun, her soul sister.
“that is my sister, y/n. i must welcome her” she signs, touching your hand before diving down, leaving you behind.
as someone from the forest, holding your breath under water was a big challenge, even with a great teacher like tsireya. swimming to the surface, you catch your breath before submerging your head, hoping to catch a glimpse of tsireya.
“yo, y/n!” the voice of your younger brother calling out to you, kiri right behind him. “bro what are you doing? we gotta check this out.” he shouts, causing kiri to roll her eyes at him.
“since when did you know how to ride ilu, little bro?” you say, eventually getting splashed in the face with salt water.
“you do realize we’re in the ocean? throwing water at her isn’t going to do anything” kiri says, stretching her hand out to you, pulling you up on her ilu.
as you both dive down, you spot tsireya sign something to her sister. her curly hair flowing through the water, making her look even more breath taking.
watching her closely, you pay attention to the way she moves her hands.
your heart skips a beat as you catch these four words.
