My love ~ Neteyam Sully x oc

2.

It was early morning when Ivä woke up. It was the day Tsireya, Anoung, and her had to train the Sully kids. Ivä dreaded it. Why her. But alas, she had to. She got up from her bed and fixed it up. Then she started to freshen herself up. After she changed, she put her favorite necklace on. The one Tsireya made for her when she was ten. After she fixed her hair, she went to knock on Tsireya's door. Turns out she was doing exactly what Ivä was doing.

"Good morning reya." Ivä said with a warm smile.
"Morning!" She said returning it.
"Ready to go?" She asked.
"I guess.." Ivä said rolling my eyes.
"Oh come on Ivä, you'll be fine." She said reassuring the girl.
"I hope so,"
"Where's Anoung?" Ivä asked looking around.
" I don't know he should be up. We're going to be late."

Anoung, oh Anoung was not awake. In fact he was knocked out. Sleeping like a baby. Ivä couldn't help but laugh to herself after seeing him still asleep. Skxawng. Ivä picked up the closest object she could find and threw it at him. Oo... that was a seashell.. I hope he's ok. His eyes immediately opened looking dead at Ivä.
"Ivä!" He yelled standing up.
"Come on, we're going to be late." Tsireya said holding back her laugh.
Ivä ran right after Tsireya smiling back to Anoung, who was pretty mad.

The three of them finally arrived at the Sully's Mauri. Ivä popped her head in seeing Neytiri first.
"Oel Ngati Kameie." Ivä greeted Neytiri.
Neytiri did the same back to Ivä. She then called over her children. Tired looking, but ready to go.

Tsireya then stepped in.
"Ready to get started?" She asked them with a smile on her face.
Ivä rolled her eyes in her head. On the outside she was just staring at something. Oh but that something was a someone. And that someone was Neteyam. She quickly snapped out of her trance from being nudged by Tsireya. Ivä then realized she was staring at Neteyam. Oh dear Eywa.. Ivä thought to herself as everyone exited to Mauri and left for the beach.

"If you want to live here.. you have to ride." Anoung said to the group.
He then called over a bunch of ilus. Ivä turned her head to see tsireya standing oddly close to Lo'ak. She hoped that she got his name right. Then her eyes moved and got caught on Neteyam. Again. He didn't notice her looking at him though. He was too busy holding Tuk. Ivä couldn't help but slightly grin. She quickly looked away. What was that feeling. Wait feelings? Nah.

All of a sudden Roxto showed up calling Anoung over. He was taking him back to the shore. Not fair. Anoung gave Ivä the "sorry" look and kept following Roxto. Ivä felt like screaming in Anoungs face. But she kept herself collected.
Her thoughts were soon interrupted.

"Looks like it's just you and me." Neteyam said gently.
Ivä looked around to see Tsireya and Lo'ak already working with an ilu. And Kiri and Tuk were working with their own ilu.
"Right." Ivä said in the kindest way possible.
She then called over an ilu.
" this will be the ilu you are training with." Ivä said petting the precious creature.
"Go on, pet him. He has to gain your trust." Ivä said to Neteyam gesturing for him to pet the ilu.
Neteyam did as he was told and started petting the ilu. After a while of gaining trust and explaining things about ilus, it was time for him to ride the ilu.

" so now you may mount him." Ivä told Neteyam. He swiftly mounted the ilu positioning himself to where he was comfy.
"No like this." Ivä said taking his hand and putting it in the right position. For some reason that had cause Neteyam to blush. Really hard.
"What?" Ivä said raising a brow.
"Huh- oh uhm. Noting. Sorry." Neteyam said quickly. Real smooth Neteyam, real smooth. He thought to himself.

"Oh, alright. Anyways, make the bond. Feel his breath. Feel his heartbeat. Feel his thoughts." Ivä said to him as he made the bond. Neteyam's eyes were closed for a long time as he had did everything he was told.
"Now. Tell him when you are ready to ride. But go slow. Or you will get thrown off. And then I will laugh." Ivä said looking at him being serious.
Without another word, Neteyam took off. And to Ivä's surprise, he stayed on. He emerged from the water smiling.
