Happily ever after.

Chapter 15: Ao'nung p.o.v

A few weeks have passed after Neteyam was shot and I wasn't in the liberty to visit his as much as I would have liked. The duties as heir to the clan had kept me busy and we still hadn't decided to tell our families about out connection. It was hard not to see him every day and if I saw him my stay was for a short moment. So now that he was finally allowed to move around freely and swim again I told my parents I wanted the day off. My mother allowed it giving me a wink as I walked out of the hut, like she knew something I didn't.

"Neteyam." I wave at my forest boy as I saw him walking to the sea excitedly with his siblings. I catched up to them with a smile.
"Hey." He smiles back
"We are going to take Neteyam out for a swim." Kiri says "I wasn't going to allow him to swim on his own after substaining an injury. You are welcome to join."
"I would like that, I am free for the day."
"Well good, than I am going to look for your sister." Lo'ak patts my back "Take care of my brother."
"Say hi to Tsiyera for me." Tuk calls after him.
"So I heard the Tulkans will be migrating here soon?" Neteyam asks me as I walked next to him.
"Yeah they will arrive in a day or two." I tell him "We are hoping the sky people won't interfere."
"But dad said they haven't been spotted since Neteyam his incident." The youngest sully siblings says.
"That's true, but we never know when they might show up again."
"The water is cold." Neteyam interrupted us as we stepped into the water, he grabbed my hand trying to keep his balance. I lead him into the water and then when we couldn't walk anymore we started to swim. Kiri gave me a wink before she managed to drag her younger sister away from us to swim with the Ilu's leaving Neteyam and me alone. I raised my eyebrows at Neteyam "What does your sister know?"
"She has her assumptions, I believe." Neteyam chuckles before diving in the water.
I smiled as I put my head beneath the surface as saw him swimming under me, giving me flirtatious looks before he went deeper. I smirked diving in after him, Neteyam went deeper and deeper until we were surrounded by the sea life. I was still behind him and decided to tease him by grabbing his tail and pulling him closer to me. He turned around with a wide smile before hitting my shoulder. I grinned as I wrap my arms around his torso making our chests touch each other. I felt Neteyam his tail curl around my leg as he wrapped one of his legs around my hips. I looked at him confused, mostly I was the bold one with the physical touches but he let his hands roam over my arms. I watched him amused as his hands travelled to my chest. He placed his left hand on my heart before his right hand cupped my cheek. He treaded forward carefully before kissing me, first soft but then more confidently. I tried to match his pace and felt myself getting aroused by the man kissing me. My hands lowered from his waist to his butt, as I grabbed his buttocks making him gasp in kiss, causing him to swallow water. He started coughing, my eyes widened in pannick as I quickly swam up with him to the surface. "Neteyam" I ask concerned as he was coughing up water.
"I am okay." he laughs holding onto my shoulders making me grin at him as well.
"you scared me for a moment." I caress his cheek.
"Maybe we shouldn't kiss in the water if you are going to do that to me again." He smirks.
"Admit you liked it." I wink.
"I never said I didn't." he kisses my cheek before swimming away from me. I look at him amused before following him once again.
