today was like no other, meaning aonung and his sister were stuck teaching the new family their ways. when he woke up in his bed his sister, reya was already gone, probably already teaching the others.
groaning in annoyance he hurried and got up before his mother and father would scold him for being late for something and how disrespectful thatâll be.
when he got down to the beach he saw an unfamiliar figure standing in the sand with their arms crossed. squinted his eyes to focus on the blurry figure he finally stumbled his way to the group as they all spoke.
reya and loâak having their own conversation like always, kiri and neteyam playing around as they looked into the sand at unseen things then neteyam and a mystery girl talking to each other.
when he finally got into the group, reya looked up at her brother and began talking to him.
âabout time you woke, iâm surprised mother didnât catch you sleeping in. trying to get away from your teaching lessons are you?â she questioned with a small smile.
shaking his head as he kept gazing at the mystery girl who had her back turned to him so all he saw was her hair and figure he motioned who that was, only for loâak to talk for her.
âoh, yeah thatâs our sister, y/n. she couldnât make it to our other lesson things, but sheâs here nowâ when the girl heard her name being spoke, she turned around looking at loâak then to aonung.
his heart nearly stopped, her wide golden eyes filled by the sun above them as her own eyes studied his figure. her frame was tall, almost taller than her brother as she wore the outfit of the metkayina. she wore jewelry on her waist, wrists and arms.
âhiâ she simple said with a warm smile, her hand doing a small wave that went back to holding her arm. he only blinked with his jaw slightly ajar until reya cleared her throat loud enough to snap him out of the trance he was in.
âoh, uhâ hiâ he awkwardly said back as he looked down i but o the sand to only look at her again. she softly laughed but covered it with her hand, his face and ears growing warm.
reya of course was beyond curious, sheâs never seen someone have such an impact on her brother, especially a sully. only laughing at his actions which he obviously noticed, aonung rolled his eyes with frowned eyebrows to then sit into the sand.
neteyam and y/n finished their conversation to join the rest of the group. y/n taking her spot next to aonung making him freeze a bit, out of the corner of his eye he saw her side profile which looked perfect in his eyes. her own eyes making way to him as well as he hurriedly looked the other way.
âłâĄă
the lesson of the day had been done, and the kids decided to go for a quick swim, just for fun. the whole lesson was brutally difficult for aonung. the whole time he couldnât think of anything or anyone else but the girl next to him.
heâd hear her laugh at a joke he or anyone in the circle would make. her voice being smooth and angelic with a hint of their original accent being left behind in her words leaving her to have to force the word she wanted to say out. when she did this her ears would twitch a bit as her tail slowly moved in the sand below it.
his ears would move anytime she herself made a noise. he needed to know her, maybe the swimming would help him out. maybe if she does something bad heâll make that his starter to talk to her.
âwait! y/n i want to swim with kiri now!â the youngest, tuk, yelled from behind everyone as they began walking into the further waters.
âawh! you donât want to spend time with me anymore? is kiri better then me now?â y/n pouted with tease filling her voice. kiri rolled her eyes with a smile as she shook her head, tuk thought she was being serious. running up to her older sister she began to hug her legs, begging for forgiveness.
âno thatâs not it! i just donât want to swim, really! iâm sorry y/n please donât cry!â y/n only laughed as she kneeled down to tukâs hight, placing her hands on tukâs shoulders.
âiâm only joking! donât worryâ she soothed her younger sister. standing up in front of her as she began to walk away, aonung following close behind. âiâll be back in a bit! donât have too much fun without me now!â she called out.
aonung looked at her as she did this, admiring her smile and small dimples on her cheeks. climbing onto his Ilu as y/n did the same he saw her connect her queue with the Ilu, almost beginning to swim ahead of him before he spoke up.
âso! uhmââ y/n turned her head to him with raised eyebrows as she heard his voice speak her ears turning back a bit at the sudden noise. âyou probably donât know me but i am reyaâs brotherâ and i was just wondering if maybe youâd like to swim with me? when we get there of courseâŚâ looking up and back down at the deep blue water he heard silence before hearing a soft laugh.
looking up to see y/n nodding her head she tilted her head a bit at his darkened face as he almost felt embarrassed.
âof course, it should be fun, yes?â her accent cutting through again, aonung nodded with a smile as his neck and face felt warm again. no not warm, hot.
âsee you there, fish boyâ she called out before calling to her Ilu to start swimming, when she did it went fastly making aonung snap his head up in her direction to see her far ahead.
âyou cheated! you never said go!â he yelled out. only to hear her laugh full of joy as she swam ahead of him. the rest of the group had possibly already been at the spot they all were originally going to meet, meaning they were far behind.
âłâĄă
when the two finally arrived he looked over at y/n who was laughing, her sharp teeth being shown a little as she did so making his ears go back a little as he began to smile.
âyou lost fish boy, i thought you said you were the best? what happened to that?â teasing him as she recalled what loâak told her, aonungâs face redden in embarrassment at her knowing he said that.
âwell like i said, you cheated, you ever said go!â he rushed out as she only laughed. disconnecting her queue from the Ilu then she took her deep breath and dove into the water, him following close behind.
when he got into the water she was already swimming to catch up with the rest of the group as he tried to catch up with her. loâak looked over at his sister who came swimming down to them as he motioned âwhere weâre you?â y/n shook her head with a shoulder shrug as she pointed back towards the island.
reya looked at her brother and began to sign to him âdid you two get lost?â he only shook his head before signing back âraced here of courseâ. reya shook her head with a eye roll as they all began swimming.
aonung looked to his side to see y/n far off. his head snapping back and forth from the direction of the group to her only to throw his head back in irritation.
swimming up to her as she had her eyes focused on whatever was below he swam close enough to tap her making her turn around. smiling at him she signaled âcome hereâ. him doing so, he swam directly next to her to see a couple of glowing fishes.
smiling as she looked he looked over at her, his eyes traveling down to her moving legs, to her tail that slowly moved in the water, to her hair that floated around her. his eyes finally made way to her face again as she began moving her arm in front of the glowing fishes.
he frowned his eyebrows in slight confusion until he saw the fishes moving in every direction she moved her arm. smiling as she did so, he looked at her in pure awe.
deep down he felt something growing inside his heart, a aching feeling of distant desire and longing that could only be filled⌠by her.
was this what it felt like? to feel something as strong, it almost took over his every being. is this the feeling his parents would express or tell him about. his eyes softened as he looked at her glowing figure.
the small dots on her body seemed to glow under the dark sea water. his hand almost made way to touch her waist until she turned her head in the groups direction.
him doing the same he saw everyone swimming the to top, neteyam pointing up for her to follow. nodding her head as the two began to swim up they took their fresh air breaths.
âwe have to get back now! mother and father might be worried.â neteyam simply said, y/n nodded her head as she jumped onto her Ilu, connecting it only for aonung to swim up to her fastly, tapping her thigh.
âwait! waitâŚâ looking down, she saw him holding onto the Ilu and her thigh, she made no action in telling him to pull away.
âyes?â she softly asked. him and her being aware that the group of teens were not hiding their stares, they kept speaking.
âmeet me on the island, tonight, alone. if you want of courseâ you donât have to i just want to get to know you! but the way i said it sounds really creepy and iââ y/n quietly laughed as her eyes grew small a bit, looking up to see her face was slightly red she placed her hand over her that lingered on her thigh.
âi will meet you when my family is sleep, okay?â she simply said before making her Ilu swim away to shore.
aonung smiled, like an idiot. his ears moved back a bit while his face grew warmer by the second. the warmth of her hand still lingered on his even under the water.
âokayâŚokayâ he mumbled quietly. reya, who was waiting for him wore shock all over her face.
âwhat was that!?â she shrieked before laughing at her brothers love sick face.
âwhat? what was what?! what are you talking about!?â he asked before rushing to go to shore, she laughed behind him as he swam away with a wide smile.
âłâĄă
that same night when the village was sleep and the sky grew dark, aonung made his way out of his small house. the bouncy flooring moving under his feet as he quietly made his way to the island.
hearing reya in the distance as she whispered âaonung!â he whipped his head in her direction to looked at her, scared for his life. she only rolled her eyes before signing âdonât be out too long, i canât cover for you in the morningâ he smiled wildly as she did the same. nodding his head, he made his way to the island.
when he finally got there, he was there alone. deciding to just wait in the sand for her seeing that it might be a bit more difficult to get away from a family of 6 he waited patiently.
his patienceâŚwas low.
the more time it took, the more his ears would fall. his shoulders becoming tense, the adrenaline in his heart began to run off as time went by. it been about 30 minutes of him just playing in the sand like a baby.
he felt stupid. so stupid. embarrassed and ashamed that he let his walks fall for someone just because she smiled at him. why did he have to feel the way he did? he only just met the girl.
he didnât even know who she was, only that she was the second oldest of the family, that she was strong, angelic, soft and kind, caring and overall a good person to be around.
he wanted to see her, as he wanted her to see him. just as he began to sigh with sadness lingering in his face, pain in his chest and some uneasy feeling in his stomach, aonung began to stand up before he heard someone in the distance. his ears pulling back to the direction of the sound he saw nothing in the darkness.
frowning his eyebrows as he became uneasy he tried to walk fast before a weight was thrown onto his body making him fall to the ground, hard.
âwhat the!?â turning around to see y/nâs face close to his that was pressed against the sand he saw her laugh at him at his scared expression.
âyou baby! crying out like that, where is your guard! you should have never let me get that closeâ she scolded him as she lifted her body off of his. whisper shouting at aonung him as he shamelessly got up to face her.
âoh iâm sorry tree girl, i never had to experience an attack coming from behind?!â he yelled back in a whisper, she only shook her head as she laughed at his frantic response while he whipped sand off of his face and body.
âso fish boy, where was it you wanted to go?â she quietly asked before walking up to him, her body so close to his that he felt the heat coming from her. gulping as he nervously stood there he shrugged a shoulder before talking.
âuhâ just walk around? i donât know, just to talk and get to know you i guessâ looking down then back up at her she smiled and nodded. her hands now behind her back as they walked to a large amount of rocks that hid behind the level of the island.
âso, what did you want to know?â y/n asked, looking at aonung who walked awkwardly next to her.
âoh! uhâuhm⌠iâm not sure yet? i meanâ okay, iâm sorry this is new to me i never felt this wayââ looking at her as he tried to talk he saw her eyes widen a bit in curiosity and admiration. she lips turning upwards while she watched him try and talk.
âreya told me a place we can go, do you want to go there? she mentioned drinksâ he immediately knew where she was talking about. smiling as he walked over to the water she ran after him with soft laughs filled the night air as the both of them made their way into the water.
âłâĄă
when they arrived the cove being lighted with glowing blue lights from the ocean and plants below. fishes silently swimming their way around as y/n was the first to swim into it. looking around in awh at the beauty the place held, aonung came close behind.
her arms going onto the rocks to pull her body out of the water, her hair being soaked with the water as it dripped down her body he watched, hungry.
licking his lips as he looked away he nervously looked back to see her smiling as she squeezed her hair to dry it. him swimming up to her as he climbed onto the rock, sitting next to her.
âthis place is secret,very! secret only supposed to be known by me and my family really. iâm surprised reya told you about this place.â y/n listened to his voice as it bounced off the rocks around then her ears moved to the sound each time it would bounce through the rocks.
âwell maybe reya trusts me more then you think, then again that is bad right?â she asked him her head moving down slightly with her eyebrows raised.
is this her way of rejecting him? by telling him he canât trust her? no, he wouldnât let her get away that easily.
moving closer to her as her feet dangled in the water below her she watched him get closer making no effort to away.
âi trust youâ he quietly admitted. why did he? he wouldnât know. he just knew something in her eyes made him feel safe, the way they would study all the things around him giving her a look of curiosity every time.
âwhy? you donât know meâ y/n asked, truly confused by his sudden trust in her. looking down at his hands as he began to fidget with them he saw the fishes in the water making their way to swim around her feet.
âiââ he hesitated before nervously letting out a breath, turning his head away from her to hide his redden face, full of worry and embarrassment until he felt her fingers make their way under his chin, moving his head back into her direction as she was already looking at him.
her eyes still full of curiosity and slight wonder with a hint of happiness, he had a feeling she knew what he wanted to say but also knew he couldnât.
biting his lip before blinking his eyes and taking a breath he finally spoke again.
âi see youâŚy/n. i only just met you and i already see youâ he rushed out.
looking into her eyes y/n slowly began to smile before her hands made their way to each side of his face, pulling his head in to rest her forehead against his. closing his eyes as his eyebrows frowned to soften as he felt her eyes open.
âi see you, aonung.â was all she said before he pressed his lips against hers. her soft lips made him feel warm as she sweetly kissed him. her hands being warm on his face while his own hands made way to her waist.
after a bit of their lips molding together she suddenly pulled away. looking deep into his eyes as she smiled sweetly, his own smile began to widen until it was replaced with shock as she pushed him into the water.
âhey! what was that for!?â he yelled at her as she laughed at him, scooting down into the water, she went along with him as she tried to swim close to her, despite for her kiss again.
âmeet you in the islandâŚâ closing her eyes to give him a sweet kiss before pulling away to smile she whispered âfish boyâ before swimming away.
his face being full of redness as he threw his head back with joy to then hurry and swim after her.
âłâĄă
soon, the two of them finally came onto the island. she won of course while he fell horribly behind. when she walked onto the island with her damp hair falling on her back, aounug looking at her tail as it moved slowly behind her he slapped it making her turn around in a hurry.
âyour lucky yours isnât like mine fish boyâ she stated before laughing, he smiled back at her making his way to her, placing his hands on her waist again for hers to make way to his face. they began to lean in untilâ
ây/n! what are you doing!?â the both of them turning around in a hurry to see neteyam standing there with his sleepy expression, puffy eyes and a lopsided figure. y/n hurried and ran to him.
âsh! you skxawng! what are you doing here?â she asked in a whisper as her brother looked at her in shock at what he just saw.
âi could be asking you the same thing? sneaking out to see him, i should tell momââ y/n immediately pushed his chest makikg him stumble before she whisper yelled at him.
âno! no, i am coming, go!â pushing her brothers chest again only for him to raise his hands in surrender she watched him walk away slowly to wait for her.
aounug stood there watching in amazement and awh at her slight control over her older brother she turned around to see him standing there still. his face red from earlier and now making her smile sweetly.
walking up to him to place her hands along his chest to make their way up to his face she pulled him into a kiss which he immediately melted into, his lips moving against hers as they were sloppy and fast, obviously speeding things up since her brother was not too far away.
her tail began to move its way along his legs, wrapping around one as she kissed him sweetly. finally pulling away with a smile she waved goodbye as he did the same. watching her run to her brother as he heard them tease each other, aounug smiled like a child who was offered candy.
walking away to his small home to only dream about y/n.
This is so adorable. đ
