Neteyam pov
It was late, the sky was dark. I couldn't see much in our marui but could hear the faint snores of my father. I had been unable to sleep well since arriving here. Everything was so unfamiliar. I stood up quietly as to not disturb the others.
I stepped outside onto the sand, loving the feeling of it between my toes. I started off away from the village to a part of the beach not too far away from the village but far enough for some quiet. I sat at the waters edge watching the waves as they lapped softly at the land. Although I missed my old home in the forest I knew that I would make this place my new home. I laid back staring at the sky, I had always admired the sky. It was so huge and beautiful, always changing yet staying the same.
As I was gazing up at the sky I must have dozed off because I awoke to Aonung standing above me. I flinched not expecting anyone to be near me.
"What are you doing?" He asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I couldn't sleep so I came out here." I said truthfully while sitting up.
"Oh, makes sense." He said as he sat beside me. He was fairly close but not uncomfortably so. It was almost nice feeling the heat radiating from him. Almost. He was still annoying.
"Why are you out here?" I asked him after a few minutes. He looked down almost as if avoiding the question.
"Couldn't sleep." He said not looking up. Strange, I had never seen him so fragile. It made me think he could actually be nice. The more I looked the more I noticed. I noticed the way his arms curved and the way his chest moved when he breathed. Shit I was staring. He noticed it too. He met my eyes in question. Those eyes, holy they were beautiful. They were a light blue with darker flecks of blue all through them.
"Neteyam?" He asked still holding my stare.
"I uh- um your eyes they're uh beautiful." I slapped a hand over my mouth. What did I just say. "Sorry I uh have to go." I got up and ran I'm so stupid. He is a male I shouldn't have said that.
Aonung's pov
What was that? He thinks my eyes are beautiful?

FanficI knew I would love him until the end of my days, I would love him until my lungs ceased to draw breath, until the universe was no more, until he and I were just another star in the sky, until the very land on which we stood wilted away beneath us...
