Forest Boy

Chapter 11 - Us

I put the mini Ilu next to where I sleep. Neteyam walks into my cot and sits in front of me.

"It's very cute. I told Tuk we should make an Ikran but she told me how much you like your Ilu." A semi-shocked expression comes on my face.

"I really do like my Ilu. That reminds me, I need to go see him." I look out of a gap in the cot and see my Ilu looking around from in the water.

I grab Neteyams wrist and pull him out the cot with me. "Slow down! I still haven't fully healed yet!" He laughs.

We reach my Ilu and he leans towards me and nudges his face into my hand. I kiss his head and stroke his neck.

After a while, I pat his neck and he swims away. I look over at Neteyam who was quietly watching me. "Very cute Zaya."

I roll my eyes at him and then we decide to go into the forest. "I wanna see the plants at night here. Rotxo told me they're very beautiful."

-

We climb up a massive tree and go to a flat area near the middle of the tree. When we look down there's loads of different colours, all illuminating the forest.

I lay on my back and look up at the sky. It's getting dark but I think I'll sleep here tonight.

Neteyam turns and looks at me. "Zaya, I have a question." I sit up and look at him.

"And I have an answer." I rest my head on my hand and look at him. He seems hesitant at first but quickly shakes it off.

"Do you.. want to have children? With me?" He keeps his eyes locked on mine and I raise my head off my hand.

I open my mouth but nothing comes out. I feel my face getting hot and my tail starts to fastly move around.

I lean back and put my hand on my tail to stop it moving and I look at Neteyam. I notice he's getting nervous.

"Yes." He looks over at me after I speak and he inches in closer to me.

I lean forward and cup his face in my hand. He kisses me and grabs my waist. He pulls me onto him and he grabs his queue. I grab mine and link it with his.

We both moan and grip onto each other. I grind into his lap and he groans. "Neteyam.." I burrow my face into his shoulder and feel him lift up my loincloth.

"Are you ready." He grabs my thigh with one of his hands and holds my loincloth up with the other.

"Please Neteyam." I gently bite his shoulder and his grip strengthens on my thigh.

-

I wake up to a voice calling out mine and Neteyams name. I look down and see Lo'ak, Ao'nung, Tsireya, and Tuk all looking for us.

"Up here!" They all look up and Tuk waves up at me. Neteyam wakes up and looks over the edge. Lo'ak, Tsireya, and Ao'nung all smirk at each other.

Neteyam sees there reaction and rolls his eyes, "I'm going to skin you!" He shouts down at them.

I climb down and Neteyam follows shortly after. Tuk jumps onto Lo'ak and he puts her on his back.

"So you guys were.. busy?" Ao'nung laughs then Lo'ak kicks his ankle. Ao'nung makes a sarcastic shocked face.

Tuk looks around with a confused look on her face but then gets distracted by the plants.

We walk in silence until we get to the camp. Neytiri and Jake run up to Neteyam and Jake puts his hands on Neteyams shoudler.

I stare at Jake and when he notices me he calms down slightly. "Don't go again without telling us." He releases his grip from Neteyams shoulders then nods at the others who came to get us.

Neytiri looks at me for a while, then at Neteyam. I look at Neteyam and he looks at me. Ao'nung walks up to Neytiri and whispers, "Yes, they did... that."

"Ao'nung!" I shout, he quickly runs off to Rotxo. I turn to Neytiri and she's slightly giggling while looking at Neteyam, who's looking down at the floor.

Jake and Neytiri both look at each other and smile. "We will go now. Tuk, Lo'ak! Come on." Neytiri and Jake walk away, Lo'ak and Tuk follow after them.

Tsireya waves bye then catches up with Lo'ak.

I look over at Neteyam who is already looking at me. I start to laugh then he does, he walks up to me and puts his mouth by my ear.

"Let's hope we'll get something from last night." When he says that, I gently rest my hand on my stomach.

He puts his hand over mine and I rest my head on his shoulder. "What now?" I say. I look up at him and he looks me in the eye.

"We wait."
