Forest Boy - N. Sully

The Celebration (filler chapter)

Every year the Metkayina throws a celebration marking it as the half year, we dance, sing, eat and play many games, I sat in the Sully's home doing everyone's facial paint. "Tuk sit still please" I begged the girl, I looked at the Sully siblings I even looked at my own asking for their help with the everlasting ball of energy that sat on my lap "are we finished yet!" Tuk whined I let out a sharp breath getting frustraded with the young girl "Tuk come here" Kiri grabbed the seven-year-old placing Tuk in her lap. After a while, I was finally done With everyone. Me and Tsireya started packing up the paint when I noticed Rotxo was staring at me, I looked at Tsireya and give her a look, she must have understood because she instantly grabbed Aonung and the others and left. Once they were far enough I got up, "what's wrong?" I asked the boy but he wouldn't answer me. I grabbed his hand hoping he would answer me but he just snatched it back. "You don't love me, I heard it all," he said slightly raising his voice. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding "I do love you just... not the same way you love me" I said sternly I knew he loved me but I also know about he tended to get very angry very fast, "Rotxo I love you very dearly ok I truly do but these past few months I realized you weren't the one for me ok?" I confess how I truly felt but was it the right thing to do? "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU" he jeered, I felt the same burning sensation from a few weeks ago. "Rotxo please stop yelling" I pleaded trying to calm him "NO Y/N WHY WAS IT JUST TO PLAY WITH ME" with each word he took another step slowly creeping up on me. I couldn't stop the tears from falling, the moment he saw my tears he backed down. He was muttering small prayers and other things. I stood there not knowing what to do, I grabbed his hand placing my other free one on his cheek. "Come Rotxo let's just try to enjoy tonight, please for me?" I looked into his soft blue eyes, he simply nodded taking my hands. We walked over to the beach where it was being held I watched as he slowly relaxed starting to have some fun. "I'm going to find Txu'ang ok" I watched as he left to find his friends, 'at least he was smiling' I let the thought brush over my head as I went to find my sister. 

After a while, I found Tsireya and Lo'ak dancing together and a little further away stood Tuk, Kiri, Neteyam, and Aonung. I run up to my sister jumping on her "I love you Tsireya!" I shouted, The loud music making it hard to hear anything "I love you too Y/N" she squealed, I ran up to Lo'ak and hugged him too, "Why are you in such a good mood" He asked mocking me "Oh hush I'm just happy to see everyone!" I babbled, and I waved goodbye to the couple running over to the rest of the group. I ran over to Tuk picking her up and spinning her around, her giggles being the only thing I could hear. "How's my favorite seven-year-old huh?" I greeted her slowly putting her down, kneeling to her height "I'm good" She beamed enveloping me in yet another hug. I went around giving everyone hugs and saying my hellos. "You're very cheery tonight what happened" Neteyam pointed out nudging my side with his hip, I looked up at him playfully trying not to burst out into laughter. "I don't know I guess I'm just happy I mean the Tulkun return next month and I mean apart from everything that happened last week life has been... nice for once" his eyes never left mine, showing that he was truly listening. "You've got beautiful eyes you know" he blurted out, I stood there shocked at his sudden boldness "thank you...um.. come with me" I grabbed his hand pulling him to the crowd. "You know how to dance right?" 

                                                                                    Neteyam's POV 

I paused for a minute watching their smile, it was gorgeous. "Hello, Pandora to Neteyam" I snapped back to reality, "huh mhm yea I can um. I can dance" I said flustered at the fact they were still holding my hand I was still confused as to why they needed to know, not realising where I was standing. "Dance with me?" She looked at me with those clear blue ocean eyes. I grabbed her waist and slowly started swaying  "not like that Neteyam like this" She started jumping around and doing these crazy moves. I just stood there in shock at how she contortioned her body and how she was moving as smooth as water. "I don't think I can do those moves Y/N" I stuttered. I tried keeping my composure but she kept pulling my hands and holding on to me, I couldn't do it anymore "Y/N I getting tierd I'm gonna sit down for a minute" I croaked trying not to show any signs of me being flustered "Tey what's wrong you're all red? do you feel unwell" Tey? did she just call me Tey "uh no actually I think I'm sick". 

                                                                                            Y/N's POV

"uh no actually I think I'm sick" I started to worry, It must have been something he ate maybe he was just tired, "Would you like to sit down or go home you tell me, and ill provide," I said heroically trying to make the ill boy laugh. "I think ill just go sit down you stay here and enjoy your night ok," He said trying to walk away. "oh ok bye Neteyam!" He was probably just tired. I went off to find Kiri, then I spot Aonung and his friends harassing her. I walk up to the group hoping to resolve the issue. "Brother what's going on" I questioned trying to remain as calm as possible, "oh I was just talking to Kiri you know trying to get to know her better" I watched as my brother and his friends chuckled at the comment, and that's when I snapped "You should all be ashamed of yourselves preying on a poor girl if she wanted to get to know you she would've done it by now wouldn't she no run along you ferals go home! leave her alone" I sneered as I grabbed Kiri and stormed off leaving the boys with their jaws open. "Are you ok did they hurt you or anything?" I ask franticly searching for any marks or scratches on her body, "I'm fine Y/N promise" I looked into her eyes She was telling the truth so I let it go, I took her hand taking her back to Lo'ak and the others.
