𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐦 - a neteyam x oc story

𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐩

A couple weeks had passed, and the Sully's had gotten used to being a part of the Metkayina. They can all swim faster, and hold their breath for longer.

Luana realized; this is about the most fun she's had her whole life. She finally feels as if she is worth more than just her abilities. Seeing how much the Sully's have grown from her teaching gives her more confidence as a future leader.

Besides, its nice having people to hang out with besides her siblings.

Luana was growing really close to Kiri. They had more in common than they thought, and Kiri was a good listener.

Luana had also started hanging out with Neteyam a lot. Since they were both 16, it made it easy for them to get along. Since Tsireya would basically force Neteyam to go with her, it gave them lots of time to start a friendship.

And Luana would be lying if she said she didn't have a soft spot for him. He was sweet, and gentle. Luana loved to be around him, he made her feel calm. With Neteyam also being a future leader, it helped Luana realize that she wasn't alone, and that she had someone to talk to if needed.

"Bro what is wrong with you today?"

Lo'ak and Neteyam were sitting in their tent, watching the other kids in the water. Luana was feeding her ilu, and Tuk couldnt stop laughing at the way it would twirl around in happiness.

Lo'ak was chopping up some fruit and forced Neteyam to sit with him so he wouldn't be alone.

"Hm?" Neteyam said, not hearing what Lo'ak said.

"I said what is wrong with you" Lo'ak said, sounding out every word to Neteyam like he was a little kid.

"What do you mean?" Neteyam asked.

"You won't stop staring. What are you even loo- ohhhhhh" Lo'ak followed Neteyams eyeline to see that he was staring at Luana.

Neteyam hadn't been able to get his mind off Luana the last couple days. Each day the spent together, Neteyam had become more aware of his feelings towards her. There was no way better to describe it than he just always wanted to be around her. Its like whenever she smiled, he would smile. Her voice put his mind at ease, and her presence alone was enough to make his day.

Things just felt natural, right.

He just didn't know what to do with his feelings. As much as he wanted to just tell everybody, tell her - he didn't want to mess anything up.

He'd tried to dismiss his feelings towards her, but she was everywhere, and he liked it.

He liked her.

"Oh my fucking god Neteyam i'm about to smack you" Lo'ak was waving his hands aggressively in Neteyam's face. Neteyam slapped his hand away.

"Stop staring at Lulu you look like a creep" Lo'ak said, going back to chopping the food.

"I'm not staring at her"

"What so you're staring at Rotxo?"

Neteyam whacked the back of Lo'aks head.

"You can tell me, i'm your brother" Lo'ak said, rubbing the spot that Neteyam had hit.

"You wanna tell me why you cuddle that rock Tsireya gave you every night?"

Lo'ak's face went all pink.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Besides, stop avoiding the question"

Neteyam sighed. "Okay. I think Luana is nice"

Lo'ak just looked at him with the most profound expression.
