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 sat on the sandbar for a little while. Just enjoying the view. Neteyam's strong arms around you, sitting between his legs.
"We have to go" he nuzzled his head against your cheek.
"I know. Just five more minutes." you begged.
"Y/n-" He started to protest
"Please" you looked back at him
You looked right into his eyes; he couldn't say no to you. It was impossible.
"Fine, only because you are cute."
...
You both walked with your fingers intertwined back to the hut. You even passed a couple of people, and he still didn't drop your hand. It made you glow with happiness. You had made it right in time before anyone would start to worry about where the two of you were.
When Lo'ak watched the two of you walk in, he was jealous. He couldn't help but want to rip your hands apart. He needed to talk to you. Without Neteyam noticing he walked by you and spoke.
"Outside."
You were confused. Then remembered he had walked to talk earlier. You slipped out quietly. Neteyam didn't notice at first. He was turned around from what he was doing about to say goodnight but saw the two of you were gone.
He sat down, frustrated. This is what he was scared of. You had just confessed your feeling for each other. But if Lo'ak wanted to you, would you take him back? He hated to be so insecure, but this was years Lo'ak had over him.
...
"So you and Neteyam, its official?" Lo'ak was always straight to point.
"Lo'ak.." he turned around hand on his head. He couldn't look at you. When he turned around again it hurt you. He looked so upset.
"Y/n, I love you!" he yelled; you sighed. He didn't understand yet.
"No you don't Lo'ak. In a way yes but not how I love Neteyam."
"What? You don't know that."
"Yes. I do." you crossed your arms
"Oh yeah? Explain." he mirrored you
"Lo'ak, I have loved you since we were little. As soon as we got here, your attention shifted to Tsireya. That hurt me so deeply. And then Neteyam and I started to get closer and we shared things I had never even been able to tell you about. Everything was so easy and natural with him. I didn't even know I was falling in love. With you I always felt nervous like I couldn't talk to you, I never wanted to say the wrong thing. That's not to say you're not my best friend or our times together, we're valuable and close. But they Weren't intimate. We never shared our deep thoughts or feelings."
He crossed his arms and his face changed. Like he was realizing something. You put a hand on his shoulder.
"Lo'ak. I see you. I love you and I always will. But what I feel for you is completely different to how I feel for Neteyam. I didn't understand that at first. Now I do"
