Time Will Tell (Aonung x y/n)

Leave Me

Y/n pov

I wake up. No one else is in the hut. I get up, walk outside and see everyone practicing riding their ilu. I turn and see Neteyam riding off somewhere. I jump in the water and follow him. He gets out of the water and see him walking towards Kiri, Lo'ak, Aonung and his friends.

"You're whole family are freaks!" "Look at that baby tail." I hear them saying to Lo'ak and Kiri. Whats their problem. I confidently walk upto Aonung who is already being confronted by Neteyam.

"Leave them alone." I say pushing Aonung back. He looks suprised. I dont think he expected me to be here. I face all his friends. "If I see or hear any of you calling my family freaks, I guarantee that you all will end up with bruises." One of the boys hiss at me. I stare at him and hiss back.

Aonung looks serious. "Stay away." I say before walking off. "Y/n!" I hear someone yell. I turn to see Aonung calling me. "Your family can go back their home in the forest." He laughs.

Hes done it. He crossed the line. I walk upto him and punch him in the stomach. I can already feel tears in my eyes. He falls to the floor and I grab his hair and lifts his head up so we make contact.

"Why are you mean?" I say crying. His face changes. He looks worried and shocked that I'm crying. I let go of his hair and turn to his friends. "Do not speak to me again."

I walk off with the rest. Neteyam pulls me close trying to comfort me. "No one can hurt this family, or at least I wont let them" I say still crying. "I know y/n." Neteyam says.

As we arrive home Dad is already mad. "What happened y/n?" I try ignoring him but he grabs me and pulls me close. "I know it's hard baby girl, but we can get through this."

I start crying again and he comforts me. I walk out and see Aonung coming my way. I think he's here to apologize. No thank you.

I start walking away not looking back. "Y/n wait!"

I messed up. Why did I say that? It's like she had this whole effect on me. Like she had power over me. She seemed very mad. And i have to apologize. I didn't want her to be mad. Especially her.

When I walk towards her she starts walking away. "Y/n wait!" I say hoping she would stop. She hasn't. She continues walking faster and eventually jumps in the water. I give up.

I'm a bit mad for two reasons. One, she's mad at me. Two, her feelings are affecting me. Why should I say sorry because she's not happy? I don't know.

Roxto tries to distract me but I can't stop thinking about it. I head back to my hut.

My Father and Mother are talking about duties and stuff so I ignore them. "Is everything alright son?" Father asks. I nod trying to avoid eye contact. He gives me a look and I couldn't stay quiet.

"Father.. what do you do if you are not sure about  your feelings towards someone?" I hesitantly ask.

He looks at mother who has a concerned face. "Is this about a girl?" He finally asks. "No.." I mutter. It's hard talking about these things with them so I get up and leave. "Never mind.. it's nothing really." and I walk out.

I see Jake walking in, probably to talk to my Father. He looks at me and squints like he knows everything.

I hurriedly walk away. I have to fix things but I don't want to. I call Roxto over and the boys. and we decide to go around on our ilu.

We all stop behind a bunch of big rocks and Lo'ak approaches us. "I wanted to apologize for hitting you, so many times." He says as we all look at him. "Ah, we should be friends." I offer my hand to shake.

"We're going hunting if you want to come, outside the reef." I snicker at the boys. I know how deal with him. "No i'm not allowed outside the reef." I turn to Roxto "I must be asking the wrong brother." I laugh and so does Roxto.

Lo'ak agrees and we go. We take him to The Three Brothers Rock. We go underwater for hunting, and while he was distracted we left him.

We head back and it hits me. What did I just do?

'You're an idiot Aonung'
