Lo'ak & Neteyam One Shots

Lo'ak || Distract Me Please

AN: guys.... i just rewatched atwow, and me and my friend DIED with neteyam. like i'm emotionally scarred. I also died at the lo'ak scenes too but that's not the point🤭

YN'S POV

I walked through the wet forest, trying to see through the pouring rain. Lo'ak had run off after he got in trouble with his father. I knew that Lo'ak had problems with his father, but he never got this upset.

I'm pretty sure I knew where he was. He had a certain tree that looked out to the Hallelujah Mountains, where he always took me on dates, and for, well for private time.

As I approached the tree I suspected, I squinted looking up. Ah, I was right. I saw two feet dangling from the top and started to climb.

When I reached the top, I saw Lo'ak straddling the tree with his hands in between his legs, his shoulders were hunched, and his head hung.

I looked out to the forest to see that it had a blue hue as the rain hit the world roughly. I approached him quietly and jumped to be across from him, he looked up at me startled, then quickly looked to the side, clenching his jaw.

LO'AK'S POV

I did not want to speak to y/n right now, but I could also use a hug. At the same time, I didn't want her to see me like this. I was a mess, sobbing and then staring blankly, then sobbing again. Why was I like this? Neteyam or dad probably never get so emotional over small things like this.

I felt her soft hand on my jaw, trying to get me look at her. I pushed my head father away; it was almost looking all the way behind me.

She moved closer so that her legs crossed around my back and tried once again to move my face to look at her. For some reason I just let her. I was so tired.

I looked at her blankly, although I'm sure she could tell I had been crying.

"Aw Ma Lo'ak," she whispered taking my face in both of her hands.

I could feel myself start to cry again at her expression but pushed it away. I stared at her trying with all my might not to break down but failed. I dropped my head as she wrapped her arms around me. My arms hung limp around her hips as she stroked my head, pulling me into a hug.

"Shhhh, I am here," she whispered.

As I sobbed, I shook the both of us and out of instinct I used my arms to pull her closer, holding onto her very tightly as I cried.

I realized how stupid she must've thought I was and tried to pull away, but she quickly returned my head to the crook of her neck.

"Do not be ashamed, Ma Lo'ak," she said affirmatively.

I relaxed at her words and simply hugged her as my tears ceased. All I needed to make me feel better was her. In fact, all I needed and would ever need is her. At my thoughts I squeezed her tighter, my hands clawing at her upper back.

Y/N'S POV

Don't get me wrong, I hated knowing he was so deeply hurt but- but something inside of me loved how vulnerable he could get around me and how comfortable he must've felt. I just loved holding onto him as he turned to me for comfort.

"Distract me please," Lo'ak said in a raspy voice, raw from crying as he slowly pulled away from their embrace.

I smirked, knowing what he meant. I guess they were about to have some "private time".
