so this is just an idea I had in my head. I hope you enjoy, first time ever posting. This takes place during the "one year later" period in Awow. I also aged up the kids because I feel weird writing them as 13/14 but the story is still the same.Tuk...

You and Neteyam had just arrived back at camp. All that was going through your mind was Lo'ak. What had happened? Why were they looking for him?
"He is going to be fine Y/n" Neteyam tried to grab your arm but you wiggled out of it.
"Neteyam, it's Lo'ak." your eyes were still puffy from all the crying, and you refused to let more tears come out. He's going to be okay.
"Exactly, he is a skxwang but whatever trouble he got himself into, he will find a way of out it"
Metkayina we're riding in the water, calling Lo'ak's name. You started running to where all the people were gathered.
Neteyam was worried too, but his heart ached. The way you reacted to Lo'ak being in danger made him sad. He was glad you cared for him deeply, but would you react the same way if it was him?
When you reached your parents, you could see Lo'ak being brought in by one of the warriors. You let out a sharp breath realizing that he looked fine, just some scratchess.
"Come here; let me get a look at you" Jake jumped down to inspect him.
"I pray for the strength to not pluck the eyes of my youngest son" Neytiri hissed.
Tonowari stepped up, "no, the blame is not his" you looked to see him push Ao'nung to kneel. If Ao'nung was responsible for this, you were going to kill him.
"No, the blame is all mine. I convinced him to take me out of the reef" Lo'ak spoke up.
What? Outside the reef. Why weren't you Invited? What an adventure! Then you remembered you were supposed to talk with Lo'ak, but you ignored him. You brought a hand to your mouth; what if he hadn't been rescued? You would have never seen him again and lived with the guilt.
...
Kiri was patching up Lo'ak, you, and Neteyam watching.
"So are you going to tell us what happened?" Kiri questioned.
"No, not tonight, please." she dropped the subject, " so Neteyam and Y/n, how was your evening?" Lo'ak's ears twitched.
" it was good."  do you feel a bit uncomfortable talking about this in front of Lo'ak.
" yes, good indeed." Neteyam, understood why you did not want to go into details. It was a very emotional night for the both of you. Not only that but Lo'ak, Neteyam knew he loved you, and he wasn't ready to tell Lo'ak that he was also in love with you.
Lo'ak looked at Y/n, Kiri told him how worried you were. It made him happy, it meant to still cared about him.
"Kiri, Neteyam. Can I have a moment alone with Y/n?" you glanced at Lo'ak, well that was bold.
"Yes, of course, brother," Kiri said, standing up and pulled Neteyam out with her. He was worried, but he respected his brothers wishes and above all he respected you. If you loved Lo'ak, he would never be angry. He just wanted you happy.
