Aonung x Reader (enemies to lovers)

- Eywa -

I suggest you listen to dramatic music whilst reading 😏.

"Whos' scream was that! " I quiver.

"Stay here, I mean it Y/N" Mom looks at me sternly before slipping underwater, nodding at Aonung,

I sit on my Ilu in shock, so much has happened with no time to process. My heart is racing in my chest and my mouth sits open in disbelief. I look around, trying to think of some way I can help without disobeying Moms request. I look up to see Aonung staring at me.

"What do we do?" He asks.

"I- I don't know" I reply, my voice cracks. Tears escape from my eyes, I wanted to help my family but I didn't know how. I cover my hands with my eyes and let it out before wiping away at my soaked face. Aonung appears next to me, he reaches his hand out to grab mine. I look at him,

"I have a plan" He grins.

"But we can't leave!" I stutter.

"We don't have to" He winks at me, looking towards the Eywa Tree.

"Come on" He nods.

We both slide under water, leaving our Ilus' at the surface. I pull myself deeper, following behind Aonung. Once we get deep enough he grabs my arm and pulls me towards him.

We will connect to Eywa and ask for support in this battle Aonung signs.

I've never done this before, are you sure it will work? I ask.

Only one way to find out, right? Aonung smirks.

I smiled back, Aonung hadn't had time to apologize with words. But his actions had validated his feelings for me. He had risked his life to come after me. And now he stays by my side to help the people I love most.

Thank you Aonung, this means a lot I glance at him.

You must know things have changed between us since that night Rotxo told you about. And as much as I'd like to get into this, we don't know how much time we have Aonung admits.

I nod, we link hands and hold each other tightly. I grab my long braid from behind me and let myself connect with Eywa. I close my eyes and breath deeply.

Please help us in this war that my family and I have tried so hard to escape, they do not deserve this. We ask for your support against the air people. Any aid from you will be cherished for as long as I live.. Thank you Eywa.

I open my eyes, take one last breath of air and remove my braid from the underwater tree. Aonung must have finished before me as he was glancing directly at me the second I looked to my side.

How long have you been staring at me? I blush.

Only a second He smiles.

We both swim back up and onto our Ilus, slowly heading towards the ship. I stay alert for any other loud screams. I was too worried to stay back and do nothing, hopefully Mom won't kill me herself, she'll thank me one day I convince myself.

"Do you see anything on there?" I ask, pointing at the ship.

"Weirdly, no" Aonung replies.

"Let's get closer" I say.

"Stay near me Y/N" Aonung suggests.

"I can save myself thank you" I roll my eyes.

"You should've said that when you were tied up, who saved you again?" Aonung teases.

"Shut up this isn't time for jokes" I state.

"Right" Aonung stops smiling.

We get close to the ship, I begin to hear faint sounds of bickering coming from inside. Fear picks up inside me once again. I slide off my Ilu and climb onto the Ship, Aonung grabs my forearms and helps pull me up from above.

We walk past the dead bodies I had already seen, the second time didn't make it any less unsettling. We reach a rail and look over the edge, my eyes widen and a knot forms in my throat. My whole family was on the boat face to face with Quaritch, except for Neteyam and Dad..

Kiri, Loak and Tuk were tied up onto another rail below Aonung and I, but Mom had Spider up against her, a knife pressed up to his throat. I gasped in shock as I saw a red line across his chest. What was she doing?

I see a look in her eyes that I've never seen before, pure rage. 

"A son for a son" She threatens, it gives me goosebumps. 

What did that mean?

I look at Aonung and he shrugs. I turn around and search for weapons on the floor. I pick up a small knife and a gun. Determined to aid my family since Eywa didn't seem to be showing any signs.

"Let's go" I say.

"It's not safe" Aonung grabs my arm.

"I have to help them" I shake away from his grip.

I walk down some stairs in the distance and creep along a small hallway. When I reach the end, I peek over to see the same scene from earlier only much closer. I feel like throwing up, I've never actually fought other than practicing with Mom and Dad. But I didn't have time to debate.

I run from my hiding spot and aim my gun at Quaritch, I immediately press the trigger. My eyes shut from the sudden loud noise and force. Once I open them to look at the damage, I realize I only hit him in the leg. He falls to his knee and cries in pain. I rush over to my siblings and pull the knife from my waistband, sawing at their ropes until they break free.

"MOM, what are you doing?" I yell.

"What are YOU doing here Y/N? I told you to stay!" Mom hisses.

"Let Spider go!" I ignore.

She contemplates for a moment before pushing him away. Kiri grabs him and pulls him into a hug. Tuk rushes towards Mom.

Quaritch stands up and pulls a small gun from his pocket to aim at me, Aonung runs towards him in attempts to derail the bullet. I stand there frozen, to scared that if I move he'll shoot. I squeeze my eyes shut.

The last thing I hear is a bullet being shot..
