"Who else knows about it?" he asked. "Umm, all of our friends." Alo'an replied.

The man hummed, grabbing Alo'an's hand. He put two of the same type of stones in his palm. An Iko'rut (rose quartz).

"Give one to the boy. It represents a symbol of love and compassion." Aniri explained. "This one you keep. Give me your hairpiece."

Alo'an nodded, giving his dad the hairpiece he had. Every stone given to him was stuck into the hairpiece, representing something different. They were like time stamps, a memory.

Aniri tied the boy's hair back up, finishing the hairpiece. He smiled, seeing his son look happy.

"Thank you." Alo'an whispered.

Aniri nodded, hugging his son. Alo'an buried his face into his dad's chest, being filled with warmth.

Neteyam looked back at the Marui, entering his own. His parents were still talking about the situation. Jake was confused as to how he didn't notice this earlier, and why Neytiri didn't tell him.

"What happened?" Lo'ak asked. "They found out about Alo'an." Neteyam replied.

Lo'ak smiled, suddenly laughing.

"What's so funny?" Neteyam asked. "Nothing, I just can't believe you got caught." Lo'ak sighed.

Neteyam furrowed his brows, looking back at his parents.

"You're acting like you won't get killed when they find out about you and Tsireya." he whispered.

Lo'ak's smile dropped as he stared at his brother.

"It's not that serious..." he mumbled. "Uh-huh." Neteyam nodded.

Neteyam walked over to his belonging, opening his chest. He pulled out a knife and grabbed a fruit. He started peeling it, eating every piece he cut.

Before he knew it was nighttime. The family was having dinner when Alo'an suddenly appeared. Neteyam looked at his family who already waiting for him to talk to the boy.

Neteyam stood up, making his way to Alo'an.

"What do you need?" Neteyam asked. "I came to give you this." Alo'an smiled.

He grabbed Neteyam's hand, opening it. Neteyam stared at Alo'an, feeling him put something in his palm.

"What is this?" Neteyam asked. "It is Iko'rut." Alo'an hummed. "A symbol of love."

The boy smiled, suddenly feeling Neteyam pull him in. He kissed him as thank you.

"I will keep this somewhere special." he whispered.

Alo'an looked behind Neteyam, seeing Lo'ak and Kiri spying on them.

"Oh, hey." Lo'ak chuckled. "Hi." Alo'an smiled. "Alo'an, why don't you eat with us?" Neytiri asked, coming out of the Marui.

Alo'an looked back at his father's hut. Aniri was already asleep, so he wouldn't mind.

"If you wouldn't mind." Alo'an nodded. "That's why she invited you." Kiri hummed.

Alo'an giggled, seeing Kiri mock him. Neteyam went back to his chest, opening a small box. He placed the stone inside, burying it under other things.

"What do you want to eat? Fish, fruit?" Neytiri asked. "Anything is fine." Alo'an replied.

Neytiri nodded, giving him a little bit of everything. Alo'an gracefully took the plate, turning over to Neteyam.

The two sat on the edge of the Marui, their feet hanging over the water. Neteyam watched Alo'an eat, seeing him enjoy the food.

He laughed, seeing how messy the boy was.

"Is it that good?" Neteyam asked. "Yes, it's delicious." Alo'an laughed.

Neteyam stared at him, seeing his smile. He softly brushed the food off his face, looking back at the water.

Alo'an smiled, leaning onto Neteyam. He felt comfortable with him, with his family.

Neteyam turned to Alo'an, moving his entire body. Alo'an did the same, being curious. He felt Neteyam's hands softly tracing around his face, seeing Neteyam smile.

"What is it?" Alo'an asked.

Neteyam shook his head, holding his hands.

"I see you." he whispered.

He kissed him one last time, leaving Alo'an surprised. He smiled again his lips, kissing him back.
