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...

"When I first met your father, I was trying to kill him" his mother laughed nuzzling his father.
"It was love at first sight"
Everyone laughed and held each other close.
Neteyam was smiling. He loved his family so much. He felt weird though, like he was here with his family but somewhere else. He saw you approaching, Y/n, he always thought you were pretty.
"Hey! Why wasn't I invited?" You whined, your parents right behind you wanting to congratulate the Sully's on their newest edition. Tuktirey.
"She's beautiful." Your mother spoke.
Neteyam thought you were the beautiful one. But you were so annoying. You were always getting his siblings in trouble. Whenever he told you, Kiri, and Lo'ak not to run off, you would stick your tongue out at him and call him a fun killer.
There was one time though. You had been searching for Lo'ak and Kiri to play, but they were off with his parents. You walked into the hut and saw him there. He could see the disappointment on your face. Was he really that bad?
"H-hi," he stuttered, anxiously
"Hello Neteyam." You greeted him with a smile. His nine-year-old year heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest with that smile.
"Is Lo'ak and Kiri around to play?" You shifted your weight from your left and right leg, a wave of nervousness came over you. He was staring at you so intently.
"No." He frowned
"Oh okay let me kn-" he cut you off, a rush of confidence surging.
"Why don't we play together?" He spoke fast; he was hoping you would say yes. He felt like he could barely play anymore, constantly being whisked away with his parents to do Olo'eyktan training.
"Ah yeah. Okay" you weren't sure if he would be any fun, but it was better than waiting around.
Neteyam's heart soared. You wanted to play with him. You ran into the hut and grabbed his hand, sprinting off to the woods. He was so happy you were holding his hand that he didn't care where you were going.
The two of you had a great afternoon playing on the trees and splashing around in the water near a waterfall. You decided to take a break and were sitting on a tree branch.
"Why don't you play with us more often?" you asked him. He actually wasn't too bad.
"Well, I have to learn to be the next Olo'eytkan, so I don't have time to play." he looked down at the ground.
"Is it hard?" you tilted your head. He wouldn't meet your gaze.
"Uh yeah. A lot to remember. I just don't want to disappoint my parents." although he was young, he already felt like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. You hesitantly placed a hand on his shoulder.
