-First person- Seyia-

Days have passed, and I've remained in the cove since the day we let Neteyam go. I only leave during the silent times of the day so no one can see me.

Neteyam was like a brother. He didn't deserve this.

This pain was like any other that I've felt. Grieving is something I wished to never expirence, but here I am.

Luckily, I've over heard Jake and Neytiri talking.

They found a way to be able to talk to Neteyam. His spirit lives in Ewya, so now whenever they connect their queues to Ewya, he's there.

When I start to heal, that'll be something I first do.

I miss Neteyam, more than words can physically describe.

I've over heard tons of voices while here in the grove, trying to figure out where I was, if I was okay.

Well no dip shit sherlock, my bestfriend just fucking died, I'm not gonna be okay.

But the one voice who concerned me the most was Lo'ak. God I've led that boy down so many holes of feelings, I don't know what to do. Some of the last words I'd spoken to him were

"I love you Lo'ak."

LIKE DUDE IS PROBABLY SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

I hear his voice everyday. He must know where I am, I see foot prints left in the grove where I've been hiding. They're partially there, as if someone tried to cover their tracks. Also, Lo'ak is the only other person who knows I come here whenever I'm not myself, so who else would it be except him?

-

Night had come, and I've stayed awake since the last time I awoke from my slumber. I was hoping to catch whoever it was who crept here during the night, attempting to cover their trails.

I laid down on my side as if I was actually sleeping.

I waited hours for hours and eventually I almost dozed off, till I heard a low pitched rumble coming from behind. Someone was trying to shuffle through the sand.

I quickly turn over frighten hoping to scare off whoever it was and to my guess, it was

Lo'ak.

Yup, my Lo'ak.

"God dammit Lo'ak. You scared you fucking shits outta me." I whispered, yet still managed to be loud.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." He quietly spoke back.

"What the hell have you been doing here the past few nights? I wake up in the morning and I see a horrible attempt at someone trying to cover their tracts. I assumed it's you because your not the smartest person I know." I whisper back.

"Yup, that was me. I come here during the night to just talk out loud. You're the only one who really understands my feelings and my thought process. I didn't want to disturb you though. I know how rough these times have been for you so I tried to leave you alone please don't be mad." Lo'ak quietly pleaded.

I look at him with a comforting face, "Lo'ak, I'm always here for you. I always will be. You could've simply shook me awake and I would fully talk to you and listen to you for hours on end. But the thought of your kindness is very sweet of you to consider, so thank you." I began to tear up through happy tears. This is the first time I've talked to someone in a week.

"Oh fucking hell." I laughed through tears, "Ugh this is embarrassing."

"No, it's not." Lo'ak smiled as he scooted closer to me, "feelings are a beautiful thing. You shouldn't ever be ashamed of them my love."

My love? Who the fuck he think he is?

"When you became such a poet shit face?" I giggle.

"Oh just shut up." He says nudging my shoulder. We both sat in silence for what felt like forever, but with him it didn't.

Lo'ak turned and stared at me with those stupid dreamy, silent eyes. He softly grabbed my chin, pulling me closer to his face.

"I've loved you for as long as I can remeber Seyia." Those were the last words before I felt him kiss me.

My first kiss was god damn Lo'ak Sully.

But my god did that man know how to Kiss. He had the perfect rythm, not to harsh yet not too awkward or soft. This man knew what he was doing to me and my god was I attracted to him.

He pulls away awkwardly and stands up fast and whispers, "I'm so sorry, I didn-" But before I could let him finish I pulled his hand back down to me and kissed him.

Who the hell was this girl you ask? Ya, I have no clue.

He had me there for what felt like an eternity in heaven before we pulled back.

I stared at those big amber eyes, "Lo'ak even though I fucking hate your guts, I love you more than I can actually describe."

This is moving too fast, I can't do this. A relationship with a boy I've hated for 15 years, but now suddenly my feelings come out of nowhere.

Well it wasn't actually anywhere. I just didn't feel like acknowledging my feelings throughout time and time again.

-

Time had past, and we'd both fallen asleep in the grove. But I couldn't fall asleep. A million thoughts at once, but most of them were about him.

My Lo'ak.

I laid there with my head on his chest, my hand on his heart and my leg over his right leg and just smiled at him.

How did I manage to get such a guy, is what I thought before I fell asleep.

The neighbor moon to us shined brightly down onto my dark blue skin. Illuminating every tiny dot that ran over my body.

This felt like home. He was home.

-

Morning fell upon us quicker than it came in days. I soon woke up still there on his chest.

"Morning gorgeous." He whispered.

"Oh shut your trap." I say as I playfully hit his chest. Making him let out a little whince of pain but still managing to hold a sly little smirk.

We laid there for a while before I made a comment, "Lets go, I'm hungry." I say as I stood up, I held out my hand for Lo'ak to grab.

"Are you sure, no one has seen you in days, they might swarm you like a pack of bugs." Lo'ak said concerned.

"I'll be okay, I've got you numbnuts."

-

We walked out of the grove, hands still held. He was shocked to say the least. I could see him going red. Looking at our hands then to me then back to the front, it was funny to say the least.

I walked into my family's home,making them all caught off guard.

"Heyyyy guys..." I say awkwardly while rubbing my neck. I could see their eyes shifting back and forth between my face to Lo'ak and I's hands, to Lo'aks face who was desperately trying to avoid eye contact.

"O-oh my god, Seyia." Kiri said as she jumped up to hug me. I let go of my hands with Lo'ak and squeezed her tightly. She let go as I started to talk.

"So, ya I was gone for a bit, now I'm back and yes Lo'ak and I are a thing, I don't want to talk about why I was gone, just be glad I'm back." I peared at the people in front of me then went back to Lo'ak. Who's mouth was physically on the floor.

I hadn't had a chance to clear to him that we were now a thing, but I figured the hand holding and the make out sesh AND the cuddling was enough to let him know.

But nope he was still my oblivious Lo'ak.
